          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 36.    It is the intent of the legislature that the amounts assumed in this act for all revolving funds for services provided to the 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 and other legal 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.

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 37.    No moneys from the motor vehicle fund or highway safety fund may be expended under this act for major relocation of the Washington state patrol or the department of licensing.

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 38.    The department of transportation and the county road administration board shall, by December 31, 1989, jointly provide the legislative transportation committee a report describing the current financial status of county-operated ferry systems.  The report shall include but not be limited to recommendations regarding the appropriate level of state support for these transportation services and whether there is sufficient justification to consider transferring responsibilities for operating these systems to the Washington state department of transportation.

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 39.    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.  Negative cash balances also may result from the use of state funds to finance federal advance construction projects prior to conversion to federal funding.  The legislature  recognizes that the department of transportation may require interfund loans or other short-term financing to meet temporary seasonal cash requirements and additional cash requirements to fund federal advance construction projects.

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 40.    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. 41.    In addition to such other appropriations as are made by this act, there is hereby appropriated to the department of transportation from legally available bond proceeds in the respective construction or building accounts such amounts as are necessary to pay the expenses incurred by the state finance committee in the issuance and sale of the subject bonds.

          The appropriation((s)) in this section ((are)) is 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 appropriation((s)) in this section ((are)) is subject to the following conditions and limitations:

          (1) The appropriation((s are)) is 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, up to the actual implementation date of the 1987-89 biennial salary increase for employees under the jurisdiction of the state personnel board, no increases in the hourly wage rates of ferry employees, as ferry employee is defined in RCW 47.64.011(5), shall be included in the base hourly wage rates used for future salary increase calculations.

          (4) The appropriation contained in this section provides for the compensation of ferry employees, including increases.  The expenditures for compensation paid to ferry employees during the 1987-89 biennium shall not exceed $105,210,000 plus a dollar amount, as prescribed by the office of financial management, which is equal to any insurance benefit increase granted general government employees in excess of $167 a month annualized per eligible marine employee multiplied by the number of eligible marine employees for fiscal year 1989.  For the purposes of this section, the expenditures for compensation paid to ferry employees shall be limited to salaries and wages and employee benefits as defined in the office of financial management's policies, regulations, and procedures named under objects of expenditure "A" and "L" (7.2.6.2).  Of the $105,210,000 provided for compensation, plus the prescribed insurance benefit increase dollar amount:

          (a) A maximum of $678,000 may be used to increase compensation costs, effective January 1, 1988;

          (b) The prescribed insurance benefit increase dollar amount may be used to increase compensation costs, effective July 1, 1988;

          (c) A maximum of $2,145,000 shall be used to maintain any 1987-88 compensation increase and may be used to increase compensation costs, effective January 1, 1989.

          In no event may the June 30, 1988, hourly salary rate increase exceed any salary rate increase granted during the 1987-88 fiscal year.

          In no event may the June 30, 1989, hourly salary rate increase exceed any salary rate increase granted during the 1988-89 fiscal year.

          (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.

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

          (7) In the event that revenues available to the ferry system fund are not sufficient to support the expenditures necessary for the operation and maintenance of the state ferry system, the department may transfer funds from the Puget Sound ferry operations account to the ferry system fund.
