body
WHEREAS, the Sound Transit Board of Directors adopted Resolution 2015-05, selecting the route, profile, and stations for the Lynnwood Link Light Rail Extension Project (Project); and
WHEREAS, Sound Transit and Seattle Public Utilities (Parties) coordinated design development and identified the facilities that will be designed and constructed by Sound Transit as part of the Project; and
WHEREAS, to minimize costs of constructing drainage infrastructure only in the Seattle right-of-way, the Parties identified design alternatives allowing certain Seattle Public Utilities stormwater management facilities to be constructed and placed both within the Seattle right-of-way and in property owned or leased by Sound Transit; and
WHEREAS, the preferred design alternative increases the impervious area on a private parcel (King County Tax Parcel Number 641160-0240) that triggers water quality and flow control requirements, which necessitate a drainage connection to the commingled storm conveyance system; and

WHEREAS, it is in the public interest for the Parties to enter into an agreement regarding the ownership, operation and maintenance of stormwater facilities located at 136 NE 115th Street to support the Project; NOW, THEREFORE,
