The concept is to have government and businesses in Snohomish County demonstrate a united front to our local legislators on key issues. HISTORY: The cities of Snohomish County have a strong desire to be unified in the past at the state Legislature. In the past we have not always been united, which has resulted in very few successes for our County. MAG started preparing a united agenda for the 2011 legislative session and recommended a revised agenda in 2012. ALTERNATIVES RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to approve the Snohomish County legislative agenda and transportation project list as presented. UPDATED - 10/31/2012 Regional Priorities for Snohomish County 2013 State Legislative Agenda Snohomish County Region: The Aerospace Capital of North America • 45,000 direct jobs • 172 aerospace companies • $3.8 billion in wages The Snohomish County Region respectfully requests the state’s assistance in Education & Workforce, Transportation & Infrastructure, and Competitiveness – all necessary to continuing to make our region the Aerospace Capital of North America, and a region where communities and businesses thrive. Education & Workforce - Expanding higher education opportunities in Snohomish County, specifically support for: o increasing access at community colleges and universities by restoring funding, especially in high demand programs; o new programs from University Center partners such as WSU’s electrical engineering, hospitality, and communications programs; o the strategic plan authorizing the management transition of University Center to Washington State University. - Increased investment in Edmonds and Everett Community Colleges to expand proven STEM training programs which support our aerospace and advanced manufacturing sectors. - Strengthening state and local initiatives to improve STEM educational outcomes in the early learning and K-12 systems to ensure our children have the skills to engage in the 21st Century economy. Transportation & Infrastructure - Pass a robust, multimodal statewide transportation package that addresses the highway and transit investments outlined in the 2013 Snohomish County Regional Transportation Priorities list, and allocates a significant portion of revenue to local jurisdictions to meet system maintenance and operation demands. - Expand local revenue options to assist local governments and transportation agencies, including transit, in addressing the specific needs of their businesses and residents. - Improve the Port of Everett’s ability to handle a variety of different cargos in support of our aerospace and advanced manufacturing sectors, specifically roll-on/roll-off capabilities. - Maintain sufficient funding in support of county and state Public Works Trust Funds (PWTF), Transportation Improvement Board (TIB), County Road Administration Board (CRAB) and programs to ensure the county and all cities have access to the funds necessary to make critical infrastructure improvements. - Address communities impacted by growing freight train traffic by prioritizing grade separation projects. Competitiveness - Support Snohomish County’s efforts to maintain competitive property tax rates. Without legislative clarification, the County will need to respond to a Department of Revenue audit by either raising property taxes or cutting the County general fund by $3.4 million. - Enable “value capture financing” to allow local governments to make the necessary infrastructure investments to reactivate underutilized properties and promote long-term sustainability, as allowed by most other states. - Provide additional flexibility to local governments to mitigate the impacts of costly mandates such as public records abuses, indigent defense, and declining state-shared revenues. - Maintain tax incentives and credits that help retain and attract aerospace and advanced manufacturing companies to our region. This Legislative Agenda expresses regional priorities from Economic Alliance Snohomish County, Snohomish County, Snohomish County Cities, and Snohomish County Committee for Improved Transportation. In partnership with Snohomish County Committee for Improved Transportation Key Transportation Corridors & Projects October 2012 Economic Alliance Snohomish County continues to collaborate with the Snohomish County Committee for Improved Transportation (SCCIT), Snohomish County and our private and public sector investors to identify, prioritize and advocate for completion of projects which support regional economic development goals. The following highway and transit project list assumes a statewide transportation package of $15 billion dollars with Snohomish County projects receiving approximately $1.75 billion of funding, as the County represents over 10% of the state’s total population. If either a statewide package is not advanced in 2013 or the package is significantly smaller, we would seek a combination of funding for right of way acquisition, engineering or design or of each of these projects.
