AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE WASHINGTON MULTI-CITY BUSINESS LICENSE
AND TAX PORTAL AGENCY INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN THE CITIES OF
BELLEVUE, EVERETT, SEATTLE, AND TACOMA
This Amendment modifies that certain Washington Multi-City Business License and Tax
Portal Agency Interlocal Agreement, dated March 1, 2014 (“ILA”), entered into by and between
the Cities of Bellevue, Everett, Seattle, and Tacoma (collectively, the “Original Principals”), and
as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, pursuant to FileLocal Resolution No. FL2017-04,
adopted on June 12, 2017.
WHEREAS, Section 13.g. of the ILA, as amended on June 12, 2017, pursuant to FileLocal
Resolution No. FL2017-04, provides a method for allocating Agency costs among the Participating
Cities for the years 2014-2021; and
WHEREAS, the Principals (the cities of Bellevue, Des Moines, Everett, Lake Forest Park,
Renton, Seattle, and Tacoma) now desire to further amend Section 13.g. of the ILA to revise how
Agency costs are allocated among Participating Cities during the years 2022-2024, so that the
allocation method used in years 2014-2021 may continue to be used through 2024; and
WHEREAS, Section 18 of the ILA allows amendments to the ILA, and specifically allows
amendments affecting the contribution responsibilities of the Principals, so long as such
amendments are approved by the legislative authorities of all Principals;
NOW THEREFORE, the Principals hereby agree to amend the ILA as follows:
1. Section 13.g. of the ILA is hereby amended to read as follows:
g. Cost Allocation and Cost Recovery Principles. The PORTAL AGENCY budget
shall be generally allocated between all Participating Cities based on the number of
Transactions processed for each City on the Portal. In years 2014 through 2024, the
number of Transactions for the Original Principals shall be based on 2012 historical
actual pre-Portal use Transaction Counts (as set forth in Exhibit A). In years 2014 through
2021, the City Transaction Count for any other Participating City shall be based on the
most recent historical data for that City prior to it joining the Portal. From and after 2022,
the allocation among other Participating Cities will be determined by considering the
actual number of Transactions (if the City had joined before 2022), historical tax and
license information, and the experience of the Original Principals as to how quickly
businesses have adopted use of the Portal since its launch. The details of the cost allocation
calculation shall be set forth in the Portal Operations Policy. Nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed to prohibit the Executive Board from including factors in addition to the
number of City Transactions in the cost allocation formulas as between Participating
Cities, so long as the primary basis for allocation remains the City Transaction count.
2. All other terms of the ILA remain in full force and effect.

3 A Resolution of the Washington Multi-City
4 Business License and Tax Portal Agency
5 Executive Board regarding an Amendment of the
Interlocal Agreement to Extend Use of Historical
Transaction Counts.
8
9 Whereas, the Washington Multi-City Business License and Tax Portal Agency
10 (“Agency”) was originally established under the Interlocal Agreement By and Between the
11 Cities of Bellevue, Everett, Seattle, and Tacoma, dated March 1, 2014 (“Interlocal
12 Agreement”); and
13
14 Whereas, Section 13.g. of the Interlocal Agreement was amended in 2017 via
15 Resolution FL2017-04 to provide that, for the years 2014-2021, the allocation of Agency
costs among the Original Principals shall generally be based on 2012 transaction counts of
each Original Principal as set forth in Exhibit A to the Interlocal Agreement, and to further
16 provide that, beginning in 2022 and afterward, Agency costs shall be allocated
17 among the Original Principals based on the actual number of transactions processed
18 through the Portal for each of such city; and
19
20 Whereas, due to various city-specific factors associated with implementation of
21 the Portal in the Original Principal cities, the Original Principals have determined that
22 converting to use of actual transaction counts as the basis for allocating Agency
23 costs beginning in 2022 would be inequitable, and that continuing to use 2012
24 historical transaction counts of the Original Principals for an additional three years,
25 through 2024, would be a preferable way to allocate Agency costs; and
26
27 Whereas, Section 18.e. of the Interlocal Agreement requires that any changes to
28 the contribution responsibilities of Principal cities must be approved by the legislative
29 authorities of all Principals;
