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 which stipulates, when the estimated value of state facilities sited in a municipality equals 10 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 amount of the Department of Enterprise Services (DES) contract for the 2017-2018 fiscal year is unchanged from the 2016-2017 fiscal year, $1,031,912.70.
The building at 1500 Jefferson, occupied by Washington State Consolidated Technology Services (WaTech), chose to negotiate separately from DES for their building(s) on the Capitol Campus. The 1500 Jefferson building is included in the calculation used to determine the amount of State property in the City but not in the dollar amount of this DES-only contract.
