53.08.340 Streets, roads, and highways - Expenditure of funds.
The funds authorized by RCW 53.08.330 may be expended by the port commission in conjunction with any plan of improvements undertaken by the state of Washington, an adjoining state, or a county or municipal government of either, in combination with any of said public entities, and without regard to whether expenditures are made for a road located within the state of Washington or an adjoining state. [1990 c 5 §2.]
53.08.350 Moratorium on runway construction or extension, or initiation of new service - Certain counties affected.
No city, county, or county-wide port district in a county in the western part of Washington state as divided by the summit of the Cascade mountain range, with a population of one hundred fifty thousand or more on January 1, 1992, and contiguous to a county with a population of four hundred thousand or more may construct a runway of one thousand feet or more, or cause a runway to be extended, or permit an air carrier to initiate new service at any airport not presently receiving commercial service that is affected by this section, before the air transportation commission has submitted its final report to the legislative transportation committee, which shall occur no later than December 1, 1994. [1992 c 190 §2.]
53.08.360 Annexation of port district property - Transfer of employees engaged in fire fighting.
(1) When a port district provides its own fire protection services with port district employees, and port district property is included as part of an annexation, incorporation, consolidation, or merger by a city, town, or fire protection district, and fire protection services for this port district property will be furnished by the city town, or fire protection district, an eligible employee may transfer employment to the city, town, or fire protection district in the same manner and under the same conditions that a fire fighter may transfer employment into a fire protection district pursuant to RCW 52.04.111, 52.04.121, and 52.04.131.
(2) "Eligible employee" means an employee of the port district who (a) was at the time of the annexation, merger, consolidation, or incorporation employed exclusively or principally in performing the powers, duties, and functions which are to be performed by the fire department of the city, town, or fire protection district, (b) will, as a direct consequence of the annexation, merger, consolidation, or incorporation, be separated from the employ of the port district, and (c) can perform the duties and meet the minimum requirements of the position to be filled. [1994 c 74 §2.]
NOTES:
Intent - 1994 c 74: "The legislature recognizes that it passed comprehensive legislation in 1986 to provide protection to fire fighters who risk losing their jobs as a result of an annexation, incorporation, merger, or consolidation by a city, town, or fire protection district. The legislation did not, however, grant these same protections to fire fighters who are employed by port districts. It is the intent of the legislature that fire fighters who are employed by port districts should have the same transfer rights as other local government fire fighters in the event of an annexation, consolidation, merger, or incorporation by a city, town, or fire protection district." [1994 c 74 §1.]
