Approve Revised Interlocal Agreement with the City of Kirkland for Willows Road Intertie
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
On January 5, 2021, the City Council approved an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Kirkland for the Willows Road Intertie. This intertie is supported by the Redmond 2011 Water System Plan and is needed to allow the Proctor Willows Development located at the southwest corner of Willows Road and NE 124th Street to proceed.
On January 26, 2021, King County identified the property of the Proctor Willows Development as one of four sites that King County is considering for placement of the Northeast Recycling & Transfer Station. The City of Kirkland, in response to that designation, has requested that the previously negotiated interlocal agreement be revised to acknowledge this new information and to provide for termination of the interlocal agreement in the event that the Proctor Willows Development does not go forward as a result of King County’s project.
Staff recommends approval of the revised Interlocal Agreement because the City of Kirkland’s proposed language is consistent with steps the two cities would likely take in the event that the Proctor Willows development project were cancelled and King County’s Northeast Recycling & Transfer Station were to be located at this site.

Time Constraints:
The revised interlocal agreement is proposed for approval by the Kirkland City Council on March 16, 2021. The Proctor Willows Development is requesting permits from the City of Redmond for its project by
April 1, 2021.
ANTICIPATED RESULT IF NOT APPROVED:
Delay to the Proctor Willows Development. If the interlocal agreement is not ultimately approved, then the Proctor Willows development will proceed with an alternative water main configuration that is more difficult and costly to maintain by the City of Redmond, and the preferred intertie with Kirkland will not occur.
