                               Brief Summary of Substitute Bill
          • Extends the expiration date of the Interagency, Multijurisdictional
            System Improvement Team to June 30, 2025.


Hearing Date: 3/17/21

Staff: Kyle Raymond (786-7190).

Background:

The Legislature established an Interagency, Multijurisdictional System Improvement Team
(Team) in 2017 to identify, implement, and report on infrastructure system improvements that
achieve certain, designated outcomes, including:
   • projects that maximize value, minimize overall costs and disturbance to the community,
      and ensure long-term durability and resilience;
   • projects designed to meet the unique needs of each community, rather than the needs of
      particular funding programs;
   • project designs that maximize long-term value by fully considering and responding to
      anticipated long-term environmental, technological, economic, and population changes;
   • the flexibility to innovate, including using natural systems, addressing multiple regulatory
      drivers, and forming regional partnerships;



     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.

    • the ability to plan and collaborate across programs and jurisdictions so different
      investments are packaged to be complementary, timely, and responsive to economic and
      community opportunities;
    • the needed capacity for communities, appropriate to their unique financial, planning, and
      management capacities, so they can design, finance, and build projects that best meet their
      long-term needs and minimize costs;
    • optimal use and leveraging of federal and private infrastructure dollars; and
    • mechanisms to ensure periodic, system-wide review and ongoing achievement of the
      designated outcomes.

The membership of the Team includes representatives from state infrastructure programs that
provide funding for drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater projects. The Public Works
Board (Board), a representative from the Department of Ecology, Department of Health, and
Department of Commerce facilitate the work of the Team.

The Team also consists of representatives that are infrastructure program users, infrastructure
project builders, and other entities determined by the Team, including the associations
representing cities, counties, public utility districts, water and sewer districts, general contractors,
and building trades.

The Team may invite representatives of other infrastructure programs as needed to achieve
efficiency, minimize costs, and maximize value across infrastructure programs.

The Team must provide briefings as requested to the Board on the current state of infrastructure
programs to build an understanding of the infrastructure investment program landscape and the
interplay of its component parts.

The expiration date of the Team is June 30, 2021.

The expiration date of the Interagency, Multijurisdictional System Improvement Team is
extended to June 30, 2025.

Appropriation: None.

Fiscal Note: Available.
