through this interlocal agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, terms and conditions
contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this Agreement is to establish a process whereby the County, the Cities, and the
KRCC implement a set of Guiding Principles for the allocation of SHB 2060 surcharge funds to
eligible applicants.
SECTION 2 ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE
2.1 The Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council (KRCC) Board includes elected officials from the
County, the Cities and all Native American Tribes located within Kitsap County, currently the
Suquamish and Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribes (the "Tribes"). The Board shall set policy
concerning the use and distribution of SHB 2060 funds as per those Affordable Housing Program
Guiding Principles previously adopted by the Board, as such principles may be amended by the
Board in its discretion from time to time.
2.2 The Kitsap Continuum of Care Coalition (CoCC), which is an unincorporated association of
low-income housing providers in Kitsap County, has agreed, through a separate memorandum of
agreement, to act as the technical advisory body to the KRCC Board.
2.3. As part of its annual update to the Kitsap County Consolidated Plan for Affordable Housing
and its planning for the use of federal funding, the CoCC has agreed to develop and recommend
to the KRCC Board specific annual priorities for the use of that year's SHB 2060 funds, with a
list of participating CoCC members.
2.4. Each year, after the KRCC Board has adopted annual priorities, the KRCC will appoint a
subcommittee including at least three members of the CoCC (but not including any agency that
intends to apply for that year's funding) and including a representative of the Kitsap County
Auditor's office. The subcommittee will review funding applications and prepare a
recommendation for the KRCC Board's consideration. The recommendation may include
options or a single set of recommended projects. The Kitsap County Auditor shall provide
administration of awarded funds. Administrative costs are to be covered by the 5% fee retained
offthe top by the County Auditor for collecting and dispersing the document recording fees.
Should the statute be amended to distribute administrative funds less specifically, the KRCC may
be considered as an appropriate recipient, to cover the cost of program monitoring and
administration as described below.
2.5 The KRCC Board may set aside a percentage or specific amount of funds to address
emergent housing needs consistent with the purposes of Chapter 36.22 RCW.
SECTION 3 FUND AVAILABILITY
On an annual basis, KRCC shall publish a Notice Of Funds Availability (NOFA). This notice

2060 surcharge funds, those permissible uses shall also be permitted under this Agreement
without formal amendment to this Agreement.
