Brief Summary of Bill
• Lengthens the terms of the members of the boards of directors for
Community Preservation and Development Authorities.
Hearing Date: 2/9/21
Staff: Cassie Jones (786-7303).
Background:
Community Preservation and Development Authorities (CPDA) are entities formed to restore or
enhance the health, safety, and economic well-being of communities adversely impacted by the
construction of, or ongoing operation of, multiple major public facilities, public works, and
capital projects with significant public funding or other land use decisions.
A CPDA must have one or more of the following purposes:
• to revitalize, enhance, and preserve the unique character of impacted communities;
• to mitigate the adverse effects of multiple major public facilities projects, public works
projects, or capital projects with significant public funding, a secure community transition
facility or other land use decisions;
• to restore a local area's sense of community;
• to reduce the displacement of community members and businesses;
• to stimulate the community's economic vitality;
This analysis was prepared by non-partisan legislative staff for the use of legislative
members in their deliberations. This analysis is not part of the legislation nor does it
constitute a statement of legislative intent.
House Bill Analysis -1- HB 1471
• to enhance public service provisions;
• to improve the standard of living of community members; or
• to preserve historic buildings or areas by returning them to economically productive uses
that are compatible with or enhance their historic character.
Among its other duties, a CPDA has a duty to develop a strategic preservation and development
plan to restore and promote the health, safety, and economic well-being of the impacted
community and to restore and preserve its cultural and historical identity. The CPDA must
establish funding mechanisms to support projects and programs identified and supported in the
strategic plan such as grants and loans.
The CPDA must be managed by a board of directors consisting of members who: (1) own
businesses or reside in the community; (2) are involved in arts and entertainment in the
community; (3) have knowledge of the community's culture and history; (4) are involved in a
nonprofit or public planning organization directly serving the community; and (5) are
representatives of local legislative authorities and serve as ex officio members.
No board member may hold office for more than four years. The terms for the board of director
positions must be staggered as follows:
• board members elected to positions one through five shall serve two-year terms, and if
reelected, may serve no more than one additional two-year term;
• board members initially elected to positions six through 13 shall serve a three-year term
only; and
• board members elected to positions six through 13 after the initial three-year term shall
serve two-year terms, and if reelected, may serve no more than one additional two-year
term.
The formation of a CPDA must be authorized by statute. There are currently two CPDAs that
have been authorized: Pioneer Square-International District CPDA and Central District CPDA.
Summary of Bill:
The terms of the members of the boards of directors for CPDAs are modified as follows:
• the maximum length of time a board member may serve is increased from four years to six
years;
• board members elected to positions one through five shall serve three-year terms instead of
two-year terms, and if reelected, may serve no more than one additional three-year term
instead of a two-year term;
• board members initially elected to positions six through 13 shall serve a two-year term
instead of a three-year term and may serve no more than one additional three-year term;
and
• board members elected to positions six through 13 after the initially elected members shall
serve three-year terms instead of two-year terms, and if reelected, may serve no more than
one additional three-year term instead of a two-year term.
