          The appropriations in this section are provided for management and support of the marine transportation division of the department of transportation and for the operation and maintenance of the state ferry system.

          The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:

          (1) The appropriations are based on the budgeted expenditure of $15,525,251 for vessel operating fuel in the 1987-89 biennium.  If the actual cost of fuel is less than this budgeted amount, the excess amount shall not be expended.  If the actual cost exceeds this amount, it is the intent of the legislature that the department will request a supplemental appropriation.

 

          (2) Prior to the expenditure of any funds budgeted for additional passenger-only service, the department of transportation shall obtain approval from the legislative transportation committee.  If the additional passenger-only service is not approved, the funds appropriated in this section for that purpose shall not be expended for any other purpose.

          (3) For the period from July 1, 1987, through August 31, 1987, none of the appropriations in this section may be expended to effect an increase in the hourly wage rates of ferry employees, as ferry employee is defined in RCW 47.64.011(5).

          (4) The expenditure base for compensation paid to ferry employees during the 1987-89 biennium shall not exceed $102,387,000 plus compensation increases equal to the rate of increase approved by the legislature for other state general government employees for the 1987-89 biennium.  Compensation, for the purposes of this subsection, shall be limited to salaries and wages and employee benefits as defined in the office of financial management's policies, regulations, and procedures manual under Objects of Expenditure "A" and "L" (7.2.6.2).

          (5) To the extent that ferry employees by bargaining unit have absorbed the required offset of wage increases by the amount that the employer's  contribution for employees' and dependents' insurance and health care plans exceeds that of other state general government employees in the 1985-87 biennium, employees will not be required  to absorb a further offset except to the extent the differential between employer contributions for those employees and all other state general government employees increases during the 1987-89 biennium.  If the differential increases or the 1985-87 offset by bargaining unit is insufficient to meet the required deduction, the amount available for compensation shall be reduced by bargaining unit by the amount of such increase or the 1985-87 shortage in the required offset.  For the 1987-89 biennium, the employer contribution for state general government employees is $170.90 per month.

          (6) The department of transportation shall provide the legislative transportation committee with a monthly report concerning the status of this program.

          (2) From July 1, 1985, through June 30, 1987, twenty-four one-hundredths of one percent of such funds shall be deducted monthly, as such funds accrue, and set aside for the use of the department of transportation for the purpose of funding the cities' share of the costs of highway jurisdiction studies and ((related)) other studies.  Any funds so retained and not expended shall be credited in the succeeding biennium to the cities in proportion to the deductions made;

          (3) From July 1, 1987, through June 30, 1989, thirty-three one-hundredths of one percent of such funds shall be deducted monthly, as such funds accrue, and set aside for the use of the department of transportation for the purpose of funding the cities' share of the costs of highway jurisdiction studies and other studies.  Any funds so retained and not expended shall be credited in the succeeding biennium to the cities in proportion to the deductions made;

          (4) The balance remaining to the credit of incorporated cities and towns after such deduction shall be apportioned monthly as such funds accrue among the several cities and towns within the state ratably on the basis of the population last determined by the office of financial management.

 

        Sec. 37.  Section 46.68.120, chapter 12, Laws of 1961 as last amended by section 33, chapter 460, Laws of 1985 and RCW 46.68.120 are each amended to read as follows:

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 38.    The motor vehicle fund revenues are received at a relatively even flow throughout the year.  Expenditures exceed the revenue during the accelerated summer and fall highway construction season, creating a negative cash balance during the heavy construction season.  The legislature  recognizes that the department of transportation may require interfund loans or other short-term financing to meet temporary seasonal cash requirements.

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 39.    The legislature recognizes the economic importance to the state of attracting new industrial development, and that the availability of transportation services is a significant factor in attracting such industries.  The transportation commission and the department of transportation may consider these unique circumstances in determining priorities for capital expenditures.

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 40.    It is the intent of the legislature that the amounts assumed in this act as presented to the house of representatives and senate transportation committees for all revolving funds for services provided to the department of transportation, Washington state patrol, and department of licensing  by other agencies, including the department of personnel service fund for personnel services, the legal services revolving fund for tort claim administration costs, the audit services revolving fund for audits, and the archives and records management account for archiving, storage and records management services, shall not be exceeded without prior approval of the legislative transportation committee.
