Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Briefly describe by section number, the significant provisions of the bill, and any related workload or policy assumptions, that have revenue or
expenditure impact on the responding agency.

1456 HB Section 1 adds a requirement to a Mainstreet that they must maintain a minimum level of staffing that is
identified in section 2.

Section 2 establishes the requirements of the position of executive director based on population.

Section 3 directs the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation to establish a pilot grant program to
provide grants to mainstreets that prove that they have the financial inability to meet the requirement set in
section 2 and directs the department to employ additional staff needed to administer the new pilot grant program.

The department would need to hire additional staff to establish the grant program as a one time cost but at this
time it is unsure how many mainstreets would qualify to participate in the pilot grant program. The agency is
unsure of how many employees are needed to establish the program as they are unsure of how large the grant
program would be. Analysis is needed to determine how many communities would qualify for funding and what
level of funding would be needed. Indeterminate costs.
II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Briefly describe and quantify the cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency, identifying the cash receipts provisions by section
number and when appropriate the detail of the revenue sources. Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the
cash receipts impact is derived. Explain how workload assumptions translate into estimates. Distinguish between one time and ongoing functions.

II. C - Expenditures
Briefly describe the agency expenditures necessary to implement this legislation (or savings resulting from this legislation), identifying by section
number the provisions of the legislation that result in the expenditures (or savings). Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the
method by which the expenditure impact is derived. Explain how workload assumptions translate into cost estimates. Distinguish between one time
and ongoing functions.

The position(s) that would most likely be needed would be a Commerce Specialist 3.

Part IV: Analysis
A. SUMMARY OF BILL
Provide a clear, succinct description of the bill with an emphasis on how it impacts local government .
Section 1: The Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) is currently required to adopt criteria for the designation of
local downtown or neighborhood commercial district revitalization programs and official local main street programs and requires the
organization running the program to employ a professional program manager . This legislation would add the commitment of maintaining a
minimum level of staffing set forth in section 2 of this legislation.

Section 2: A new section would be added to chapter 43.360, Washington Main Street Program. Each application applying for designation
must maintain a minimum level of staffing to achieve the applicant's mission, goals, and annual work plan according to the population of
the local jurisdiction.
--a jurisdiction with 5,000 people or fewer: at least a part-time, volunteer executive director
--a jurisdiction with a population of greater than 5,000 but fewer than 10,000: at least a half-time, paid executive director
--a jurisdiction with a population of 10,000 or greater: a full-time, paid executive director
This section would only apply to programs created after the effective date of the legislation .

Section 3: A new section would be added to chapter 43.360 requiring DAHP to establish a pilot grant program to award grants to programs
applying for designation as an official local main street program and assist with costs related to establishing the minimum staffing levels .
To be eligible for the grant, the local main street program must be located in a city with a population fewer than 20 ,000, establish financial
inability to meet minimum staffing level requirements under section 2. This section would expire on June 30, 2025.

B. SUMMARY OF EXPENDITURE IMPACTS
Briefly describe and quantify the expenditure impacts of the legislation on local governments , identifying the expenditure provisions by
section number, and when appropriate, the detail of expenditures. Delineate between city, county and special district impacts.

This legislation has no financial impact for local governments.

According to DAHP, the purpose of Main Street program is to provide access to resources, networking opportunities, training and
advanced resources and opportunities to communities who have an independent 501 c3 or 501c6 nonprofit organization dedicated solely to
downtown revitalization.

Washington Main Street Communities are eligible to receive contributions through the Main Street tax credit incentive program , an
incentive for local government participation. The tax credit incentive program provides a Business & Occupation (B&O) or Public Utility
tax (PUT) credit for private contributions given to eligible downtown organizations. If approved by the Department of Revenue,
jurisdictions could be eligible for a tax credit worth 75% of the contribution given to a downtown revitalization organization.

C. SUMMARY OF REVENUE IMPACTS
Briefly describe and quantify the revenue impacts of the legislation on local governments , identifying the revenue provisions by section
number, and when appropriate, the detail of revenue sources. Delineate between city, county and special district impacts.

This legislation has no financial impact for local governments.
