Statement

2020 June 2020

ASSOCIATION
OF WASHINGTON
CiiiES
AWC`s advocacy is guided by the
following core principles:
Local decision -making Fiscal flexibility and
authority
The most effective, responsible, and responsive
government is the one closest to the people. AWC works
to protect"home rule'by preserving the autonomy of
cities and their authority to govern their communities in
the best interest of their residents. We strongly oppose
policies and actions that undermine or preempt cities'
authority.
Equal standing for cities
In Washington's system of shared governance, cities,
counties, and the state all play essential roles. AWC
is committed to ensuring that the interests and
responsibilities of cities are clearly recognized, valued,
and respected at all levels of government. Effectively
meeting cities' needs often requires the coordination
and cooperation of multiple government entities such
as counties, special purpose districts, and the state. AWC
advocates for the vital role cities play in local and regional
alliances and supports their ability to initiate, proactively
lead, and participate in strategic collaborations.
Strong Washington state
partnerships
AWC is invested in building and maintaining productive
working relationships among cities, counties, tribes,
and state government. We workto ensure that cities are
treated as equal partners with the Legislature and state
agencies in formulating policy and funding decisions.
AWC recognizes that statewide approaches are sometimes
necessary as long as local decision -makers have the ability
to tailor them appropriately.
sustainability
Cities are on the frontlines of protecting communities,
meeting their core needs, and ensuring quality of life.
AWC works to safeguard the full authority of cities to
use fiscal policy and budgetary measures to ensure
sustainability and prosperity. AWC strongly supports
expanding cities'revenue-generation tools as well as state
investment in cities. We stand in opposition to unfunded
or underfunded mandates, or legislative actions that
reduce revenues or create financial burdens.
Diversity, equity, and
inclusion
City leaders acknowledge racism and inequity exist in our
communities, governments, and institutions. As racism
cannot be tolerated in our communities, city leaders
take seriously the responsibility to foster anti -racism
and directly address racism and inequity in our policies
and institutions. Cities support policy changes that
eliminate systemic racism, inequity, and other disparities
to build stronger and more equitable communities. AWC
seeks policy opportunities as well as deliberate actions
to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion for all our
residents in every community. Solutions to inequities can
be as unique and diverse as our community members
who have been historically excluded from full benefits and
participation.
Nonpartisan analysis and
decision -making
To advance and protect Washington's cities, we must
be guided by objective and informed analysis, and
thoughtful, balanced decision -making. AWC seeks to fully
discover and understand relevant facts and data, consider
all points of view, and act in ways that are free from
political agendas and influences.
AWC will seek to embody these core principles through our work on the specific issue areas. When this Statement
of Policy is silent on a public policy issue affecting municipal government, AWC will support the provision of
authority, autonomy, and resources to cities.
4AProtect & maintain flexibility in
L- COVID-19 response
• Ensure that funding remains available and that Local
Fiscal Recovery Funds are not swept for other
purposes. Additionally, support proposals to enhance
flexibility with previously appropriated COVID-19
response funding.This will maximize local impacts
and benefits and minimize administrative burdens
and costs.
Continue investing in
local public infrastructure
• Purs • policy solutions that support cities' basic
infrastructure needs. Protect and ensure access
to federal funding identified in the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law (BIL) for cities of all sizes. Ensure
funding is available, while minimizing costly grant
application and other administrative burdens that
may create a barrier to funding crucial projects.
• Seek sustainable revenue sources to address the
existing backlog of city infrastructure projects in
Washington. While the Bipartisan Infrastructure
Law (BIL) has provided a much -needed infusion of
funding to Washington state, cities need ongoing
and sustainable investments to meet basic city
infrastructure needs.
• Support policies that will build resilient
infrastructure capacity and invest in sustainable
technologies that will serve cities into the future.
• Support digital equity for our communities.
Continue federal investment in universal and
synchronous broadband access —universal availability,
affordability, and world -class quality. Expand
broadband access in unserved, under -served, and
hard -to -serve areas. Affordable, reliable, accessible
broadband is essential to communities, small and
large, to support basic services like healthcare and
education and to drive economic growth.
Invest in safe communities
• Support community -centered, equitable programs
that improve our behavioral health system and
local response to the opioid addiction crisis. Efforts to
reduce the number of opioid and heroin overdoses
in our cities require a strong partnership between
local, state, and federal health and law enforcement
programs. Support efforts to stop illegal trafficking of
fentanyl. We must ensure that funds appropriated for
substance abuse, treatment, prevention, and recovery
programs are accessible to cities. Provide financial
assistance to help recruit and retain behavioral health
professionals.
• Provide financial assistance to help recruit and
retain first responders. Support continued federal
funding for programs such as Community Oriented
Policing Services (COPS), Staffing for Adequate Fire and
Emergency Response (SAFER), and Justice Assistance
Grants (JAG).
• Support passage of the HELPER Act.This act creates a
home loan program to help make home ownership
more affordable for first responders and teachers.
♦ Provide direct funding to cities to support violence
prevention programs.

AInvest in transportation
• Support a more sustainable revenue model to
fund the Highway Trust Fund —one that provides
adequate resources to maintain and improve our aging
transportation infrastructure.
• Support federal policies that enhance municipal
efforts to provide essential transportation systems,
including but not limited to transit and multimodal
investments, with a focus on communities of color and
other underserved populations.
VProtect public control over public
rights -of -way
Uphold local control over local public rights -of -
way in order to balance community interests with the
need for new telecommunications infrastructure. This
includes the:
• Ability to regulate access to municipally owned poles
and other public facilities;
• Authority for permitting and siting processes that
consider community safety, aesthetics, and other
concerns; and
• Ensure that funding for fish passage
improvements is available to both local and state
• Ability for cities to negotiate our own franchise
governments.

Invest in affordable housing

access to affordable housing, particularly housing

undermine local governments'regulatory authority,
substantial federal investment and technical assistance, impose unfunded mandates, or preempt local
Washington's cities will not be able to solve this crisis. government revenues and revenue authorities.
Support a comprehensive federal housing policy
that preserves local decision -making while making
substantial enhancements to federal investments
in affordable housing to benefit cities. These
enhancements include, but are not limited to:
• Expansions of the low-income housing tax credit
(LIHTC);
• Direct capital investments,
• Expanded access to rental assistance;
• Enhancements to the housing choice voucher
program; and
• Other efforts to build more housing supply in cities.
• Preserve the tax exemption on all municipal bonds,
including Private Activity Bonds (PABs);
• Eliminate the $10,000 cap on the State and Local Tax
(SALT) deduction; and
• Restore the tax exemption for advance refunding
bonds. By restoring this essential tax exemption, cities
would be able to refinance their debts to achieve lower
interest rates, saving local taxpayer dollars and freeing
up capital for additional infrastructure investments.

Respond to the Blake decision
OO Support clarification around the crime of
possessing a controlled substance so that
individuals, law enforcement, and treatment providers
can respond appropriately. Revise the current system of
two referrals prior to criminal charges, so it can be more
effectively administered across the state.
Support additional investments to help cities with
the costs stemming from the Blake decision on how
possession of controlled substances is handled by the
criminal justice system.This includes:
• Funding to help offset the costs of vacating criminal
convictions, repaying legal financial obligations,
administering diversion programs, and mitigating
municipal court impacts.
• Investment in alternative response teams; treatment
facilities for adults and juveniles; treatment in jails;
and social workers, treatment providers, and system
navigators to help direct people to treatment.
Address vehicle pursuits
for public safety
Clarify the ability for law enforcement to
conduct vehicle pursuits using a reasonable suspicion
standard in specific circumstances. This is essential to
allow for effective and safe pursuit of suspects when
there is an immediate threat to public safety. Cities will
continue to support safety standards and training for
officers who engage in vehicle pursuits.
Ensure basic infrastructure
funding
Fully fund the Public Works Assistance
Account (PWAA), allow the current revenue
diversions to sunset at the end of fiscal year 2023, and
refrain from further fund transfers or diversions to other
infrastructure programs or non -infrastructure accounts.
Expand state funding opportunities to assist with
maintenance and operations of local infrastructure.
Increase housing availability &
affordability
Support a proactive approach that creates new
tools, incentives, and revenues that cities can use to help
increase housing supply and address affordability. Cities
need resources to encourage development of housing
at all income levels —especially for our lowest -income
residents.
Provide behavioral health
resources
Create greater access to community -based
behavioral health services to include substance use
disorder treatment and dual diagnosis treatment
facilities. Support continued state funding to help
communities establish alternative response programs
like co -responder programs, diversion programs, and
others that provide options beyond law enforcement
for responding to situations that involve individuals
suffering from behavioral health issues.
