Background and Analysis:
Since 1993 the City of Olympia has billed the State for Fire Protection services. This billing is allowed per RCW 35.21.779 that stipulates, when the estimated value of state facilities sited in a municipality equals ten percent or more of that municipality's total assessed valuation, state agencies owning those facilities shall enter into a compulsory fire protection contract with the municipality to provide an equitable share of the fire protection costs.
The 2013-2015's biennium value of state facilities sited in the City of Olympia is 10.56%
The formula to determine the billing rate was developed in 1993. It is based on square footage calculations of both the City and State buildings within the City limits.
Since the last update in 2011-2013, billing of $842,163.84, the square footage used in the formula has changed the billing amount. The net result is an annual increase in the billing amount of $158,537.22.
