First Amended EXHIBIT A to SHB 2060 - Interlocal Agreement.
Operating Bylaws for Interlocal Agreement

Oversight Committee
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL FUND
Introduction
The provisions of Substitute House Bill 2060 became law in Washington State on June 13, 2002
and was amended in 2007 by House Bill 1359. This law, codified as RCW 36.22.178, created
a document recording surcharge (hereinafter "Surcharge") on certain documents to be utilized
for low-income housing for those individuals with incomes at or below fifty percent (50%) of the
average area median income. E2SHB 1359 added language to the legislation that a priority for
these funds be given to eligible housing activities that serve extremely low-income households
with income at or below thirty percent (30%) of the area median income. The SHB 2060 fund
enables housing to be affordable to a broader range of very low-income households than would
be possible without such subsidies. Administration of the fund is shared between local
governments and the State. The local portion of 2060 funds is to be administered pursuant to
an Interlocal Agreement between the County and the Cities within the County and is entitled the
"Affordable Housing for All Fund" (hereinafter the "Housing Fund").
A. Statutory Guidelines for Fund Dispersal
RCW 36.22.178, as amended by House Bill 1359 (2007), provides the following parameters on
the allocation of that portion of the Surcharge which is retained by the County:
"(2) The funds generated by this surcharge will be retained by the county and be
deposited into a fund that must be used by the county and its cities and towns for eligible
housing activities as described in this subsection that serve very low-income households
with incomes at or below fifty percent of the area median income. The portion of the
surcharge retained by a county shall be allocated to eligible housing activities that serve
extremely low and very low-income households in the county and the cities within the
county according to an interlocal agreement between the county and the cities within the
county consistent with countywide and local housing needs and policies. A priority must
be given to eligible housing activities that serve extremely low-income households with
incomes at or below thirty percent of the area median income. Eligible housing activities
to be funded by these county funds are limited to:
(a) Acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of housing projects or units within housing
projects that are affordable to very low-income households with incomes at or below fifty
percent of the area median income, including units for homeownership, rental units,
seasonal and permanent farm worker housing units, and single room occupancy units;
(b) Supporting building operation and maintenance costs of housing projects or units
within housing projects eligible to receive housing trust funds, that are affordable to very
low-income households with incomes at or below fifty percent of the area median

income, and that require a supplement to rent income to cover ongoing operating
expenses;
(c) Rental assistance vouchers for housing units that are affordable to very low-income
households with incomes at or below fifty percent of the area median income, to be
administered by a local public housing authority or other local organization that has an
existing rental assistance voucher program, consistent with or similar to the United
States department of housing and urban development's section 8 rental assistance
voucher program standards; and
(d) Operating costs for emergency shelters and licensed overnight youth shelters."

Committee.

F. Reporting Requirements:
Recipients of the funding from the Surcharge shall provide quarterly updates and annual reports
detailing their use of funds on a format acceptable to the Benton and Franklin Counties
Department of Human Services. The Department shall in turn provide a written report detailing
the uses to which the funds were put and disseminate the same to members of the Committee
on an annual basis, or as requested by Committee members.
G. Terms and Conditions of Funding:
�o Funding generally should not be awarded for predevelopment funding purposes except
where a majority of the committee finds special and compelling reasons why
predevelopment funding is of particular benefit in a particular case. In such cases, funding
shall not be made unless a majority of the committee enters or adopts specific factual
findings that demonstrate the benefits presented by the predevelopment funding. Such
factual findings shall be retained in the official records of Committee proceedings kept on
behalf of the Committee by DHS, and shall be available for public inspection or copying
pursuant to the Public Records Act, RCW 42.56 et seq, as then existing.
�o Funding commitments from the Housing Fund can be made but commitments from other
sources shall be obtained prior to disbursement of funds from the Housing Fund. Applicants
must obtain funding commitments within 2 years, unless the Steering Committee elects to
waive this requirement having been petitioned by the applicant due to a financially minor
project proposal.
Amended Exhibit A
Attachment to SHB 2060
Interlocal Agreement
Franklin County
Terms and conditions of funding, consistent with state and federal laws shall be
implemented into funding contracts which shall, at a minimum, state the allowable purposes
for the funding, provide for complete cooperation by the recipient with oversight and audits
by the Benton and Franklin Counties DHS, repayment terms, if any, and applicable time
lines and time frames for use of funds. Such contracts shall be by and between Franklin
County and the recipient and no funds may be disbursed prior to the execution of such
contracts. For purposes of this provision, the incurring of costs by a potential recipient, with
the expectation that such costs will be defrayed by funding, constitutes disbursement of
funds.
❖ All projects shall be evaluated for the ability to repay the investment of the Affordable
Housing funding. The evaluation shall be based on the information provided in the
application such as overall agency budget, amount of matching or leveraged funds, and
amount of funding requested versus total project development costs. Projects shall not rely
solely upon Affordable Housing funds for completion.
❖ Funding applicants shall be thoroughly reviewed and screened by the Committee with the
assistance of DHS, and factors, bearing on the applicant's suitability for funding of this
nature, shall be considered in addition to the amount of funding and the nature of the
project. Information necessary to consider such factors may be obtained directly from
funding applicants by way of application forms or similar documents, or by other such
background investigation as Committee members see fit. Such factors shall include, but
need not be limited to:
❖ Experience and capacity of applicant for affordable housing projects;
❖ Whether or not applicant has defaulted on any provision of affordable housing related
loans or grants in the past, including paying "opt out" or "buy out" penalties to avoid a
default in any project in order to avoid keeping such project "affordable" for a given
period of time. Such applicants generally should be disqualified, absent
compelling reasons why they are the only appropriate funding recipient for a
necessary project.
❖ The fiscal strength of the applicant to include a review of recent fiscal audits, ability of
the agency to leverage additional funds, and creditworthiness;
❖ Reputation, experience and fiscal strength of any major partners;
Terms and conditions of funding shall be reduced to a written contract, to be executed
between Benton and Franklin DHS on behalf of Franklin County and the funding recipient.
Such written contract shall, at a minimum, address the following:
❖ Minimum period of time which the funding recipient must maintain the anticipated project
in "affordable" status. This period of time shall be determined by the Committee on a
project by project basis with guidance and recommendations provided by the
Administrator of Benton and Franklin DHS or designee;
❖ Time frame for construction/rehabilitation and subsequent occupancy;

Franklin County
Number and type of units to be made available as "affordable" units;
On a project -by -project basis, the Committee shall determine the best funding vehicle to
utilize so as to conserve the renewability of the funding, discourage misuse of funds,
encourage geographic and jurisdictional equity, and abide by the intent of the authorizing
statute. These vehicles include, but are not limited to: 0% interest loans, grants, and
providing matching funds to qualify an applicant for funding from another government or
private source;
H. Measurement System for Allocating Revenue:
The funding available in each round shall be determined by the amount collected in the fund on
the month ending prior to application availability less any prior funding commitments.
Default by Housing Fund Recipient:
All funding contracts shall have a mechanism by which Franklin County may recover any
misappropriated or misused funds, along with an agreed upon amount of liquidated damages to
compensate for consequential damages which may include the opportunity cost and time value
of the money misappropriated or misused.
K. Geographic Equity:
The Committee shall be responsible for making certain that funds are distributed in a manner
that provides long-term geographic equity. The overall intent is to insure over time that all areas
of Franklin County receive appropriate levels of funding through this initiative where possible.
L. Subsidy Per Unit:
The amount of funding per housing unit shall be set by the Benton and Franklin County
Department of Human Services at a rate consistent with rates employed by other similar fund
sources within the surrounding geographic area and best available information from local and
federal resources. A unit shall be defined as a single-family home or a single apartment of any
size in a multi -family complex. For example, a single-family duplex would be considered two (2)
units.
M. Project Monitoring:
The Benton and Franklin Counties Department of Human Services shall monitor all projects and
associated funding contracts for compliance with the funding terms and conditions.
