             NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives recognize and salute the following veterans who fought on the soil of France with our allies in World War I for a lasting peace in Europe, which continues to evolve through the European Union, NATO, and international organizations dedicated to the peaceful resolution of disputes among nations, to wit:

             HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 2000-4774, by Representatives Linville, Ericksen, Quall, Barlean and Wensman

             WHEREAS, The Meridian High School Trojans, playing with the confidence of a team destined for renown, stormed to a convincing 57-14 victory over East Valley on December 4, 1999, to capture the Washington state 2A football championship; and

             WHEREAS, In guiding a most impressive Tacoma Dome triumph, Meridian head coach Bob Ames tasted ultimate and well-deserved triumph when his squad capped this, the twenty-sixth year of his storied Meridian coaching career with a state gridiron crown; and

             WHEREAS, Meridian, also the reigning North Cascades Conference powerhouse, captured all nine league battles, shutting out two of its rivals, holding six others to eight or less points, and allowing another foe just thirteen points; and

             WHEREAS, The undefeated Meridian Trojans, every bit as dominant a force in postseason play as in league play, outscored opponents by a combined count of 230-71 in four playoff contests; and

             WHEREAS, Coach Ames and his exemplary assistant-coaching staff so fired up the 1999 edition of Meridian High School football that the Trojans brought upward of two dozen 2A State Championship team and individual records home to the beautiful Laurel area of Whatcom County; and

             WHEREAS, Just a few of the individual highlights included quarterback Jeff Bennum, who completed 25 of 33 pass attempts for 390 yards and five touchdowns; tight end Jarrod Karuza, who caught six passes for 124 yards and three touchdowns; wide receiver Eli Slesk, who caught 12 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns, and kicker Joel Pears, who booted five extra points and caught another pass for a two-point conversion; and

             WHEREAS, An obviously inspired Meridian defense complemented the brilliant Trojan offense in the title tilt, holding the East Valley team to only nine first downs and forcing the second-place Red Devils to punt four times; and

             WHEREAS, A tremendous band of highly athletic, spirited, and enthusiastic cheerleaders led a large contingent of extraordinarily supportive boosters who traveled from Laurel's Meridian school district and the surrounding area of Whatcom County to behold the state-wide prominence claimed by their gridiron mainstays; and

             WHEREAS, Maneuvered by a formidable contingent of thirteen seniors, the thirty-seven member Meridian football squad has earned state-wide respect for a season not just highly successful in the black-and-white world of the standings, but very honorable for its dashing commitment to team and fair play behind those magic numbers of success;

             NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the state of Washington hails and heralds the Meridian Trojans for their undefeated, state championship football season; and

             BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be immediately transmitted by the Co-Chief Clerks of the House of Representatives to head coach Bob Ames and his coaching staff, to the team captains, and to the administration at Meridian High School.

MOTION

             On motion of Representative Morris, comments on Senate Joint Memorial No. 8027 were spread upon the Journal.

             Representative Schmidt: "We have had a number of great comments today. This one is recognizing the fact that this year 50 years ago the Korean War started. As you all know, I am in the National Guard and that I’m very proud of that. Any of us who choose to put on an uniform to serve our country, in the back of our minds, there is always that thought "what happens if I’m going to be there in the conflict?" In reference to the representative from the 24^th District, where he was during the Viet Nam War and the representative from the 10^th District having served as a a grunt, I got my start in the National Guard as an Army grunt. For me personally the thing that I remember most was being activated during the Persian Gulf War. I will always remember the days when the person came running into our office, I was at Fort Irving, California and he said the bombs were dropping in Iraq. Regardless of who we are, for anyone who puts on the uniform whether it was a conflict, a police action or a declared war, those bullets are very real bullets. They are very real when you are there on the line in the front part of it. The Korean War is referred to as the "forgotten war". To the soldiers, the sailors, the airmen and the marines who served there, they don’t forget it because they lived it. They’ll live it for 50 years, for 60 years, for 70 years, until the day they die. And this memorial is to make sure that we don’t forget the "forgotten war" 50 years after that conflict started. I would urge all the members to adopt this memorial. Thank you."

             Representative Rockefeller: "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to join my colleague from the 44^th District in urging support for this memorial. Yesterday we adopted a somewhat similar memorial addressed to the United States Congress, the President and the Secretary of Defense. Today we are speaking to a memorial intended to call to the attention of our own citizens here in Washington, the memories of this war, and of the men and women who served in Korea and who continue to serve in Korea to this day. We may remember that this war was perhaps the first of the conflicts marking the beginning of the "Cold War". Prior to that time we were engaged in a great conflict with the Axis powers and that was resolved at the conclusion of War World II. This was a very different kind of conflict and it mark the beginning of a long 45-year period of cold war hostilities. It was unique not only as a "forgotten war" but also as a limited conflict. The very thought of a limited conflict after a total war was a very different and painful adjustment and controversial in its day and perhaps controversial to this day. Be that as it may, over a million and half men and women served in the Korean Conflict, and more than 500 of our State citizens shed their blood and lost their lives. Many more were wounded in causalities. We have much to remember and much to be thankful for their service. Thank you."

             Representative D. Sommers: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I join in on this memorial as well. I mentioned earlier that I was too young to serve in the Second War World but I wasn’t too young to serve in Korea. The Korean War broke out in June of 1950. I’d just finished high school, I was accepted in college and some of my friends even from my class decided to join that summer. Some of them didn't come back from Korea. I went on to college and thought that if the war continued I might have to go Korea. I took ROTC and advanced ROTC, and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. Sure enough I went to Korea but fortunately the shooting had stopped the year before. I spent a year and half in Korea and saw the ravages of war and the devastation that was caused by it. Also I will mention for one of the gentlemen in the gallery, I was in the 24^th Division. We moved in and occupied some of the area that the First Marine Division had been in. I certainly have a lot of empathy for those that actually were there during the shooting but that country has survived and has prospered from that war. War is something hopefully we will never have to do again. Thank you."

             Representative Miloscia: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also rise in supporting the fifty anniversary of commemorating the Korean War. I just want to make one point. This war is not over. Only a cease fire agreement was signed. This war is still going on. Fifty years right now and counting. We still have men and women that are living and ready to die for us overseas to make sure that this war ends. And the torch is now passed to our generation. Some day this war will be over and how this will affect us -- we will respond like the greatest generation responded at the end of World War II, go in help the people in both the North and South Koreas. Remember the torch is passed to us. I urge your support for this memorial."

             Speaker Ballard stated the question before the House to be final passage of Senate Joint Memorial No. 8027.

The assessment shall be in addition to any other penalty or fine imposed by law and shall be five hundred dollars for each case or cause of action that includes one or more convictions of a felony or gross misdemeanor and two hundred fifty dollars for any case or cause of action that includes convictions of only one or more misdemeanors.

             (b) ((Whenever)) When any juvenile is adjudicated of any offense in any juvenile offense disposition under Title 13 RCW, except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, there shall be imposed upon the juvenile offender a penalty assessment. The assessment shall be in addition to any other penalty or fine imposed by law and shall be one hundred dollars for each case or cause of action that includes one or more adjudications for a felony or gross misdemeanor and seventy-five dollars for each case or cause of action that includes adjudications of only one or more misdemeanors.

             (4) Such penalty assessments shall be paid by the clerk of the superior court to the county treasurer who shall monthly transmit the money as provided in RCW 10.82.070. Each county shall deposit fifty percent of the money it receives per case or cause of action under subsection (1) of this section and retains under RCW 10.82.070, not less than one and seventy-five one-hundredths percent of the remaining money it retains under RCW 10.82.070 and the money it retains under chapter 3.62 RCW, and all money it receives under subsection (7) of this section into a fund maintained exclusively for the support of comprehensive programs to encourage and facilitate testimony by the victims of crimes and witnesses to crimes.

The department shall approve as comprehensive only programs which:

             (a) Provide comprehensive services to victims and witnesses of all types of crime with particular emphasis on serious crimes against persons and property. It is the intent of the legislature to make funds available only to programs which do not restrict services to victims or witnesses of a particular type or types of crime and that such funds supplement, not supplant, existing local funding levels;

             (b) Are administered by the county prosecuting attorney either directly through the prosecuting attorney's office or by contract between the county and agencies providing services to victims of crime;

             (c) Make a reasonable effort to inform the known victim or his surviving dependents of the existence of this chapter and the procedure for making application for benefits;

             (d) Assist victims in the restitution and adjudication process; and

             (e) Assist victims of violent crimes in the preparation and presentation of their claims to the department of labor and industries under this chapter.

             Representative DeBolt moved the adoption of the following amendment (586) to the committee amendment:

             Strike everything after page 1, line 6 of the amendment, and insert the following:

             "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

             (1) "Cable television service" means the one-way transmission to subscribers of video programming and other programming service and subscriber interaction, if any, that is required for the selection or use of the video programming or other programming service.

             (2) "Facilities" means all of the plant, equipment, fixtures, appurtenances, antennas, and other facilities necessary to furnish and deliver telecommunications services and cable television services, including but not limited to poles with crossarms, poles without crossarms, wires, lines, conduits, cables, communication and signal lines and equipment, braces, guys, anchors, vaults, and all attachments, appurtenances, and appliances necessary or incidental to the distribution and use of telecommunications services and cable television services.

             (3) "Master permit" means the agreement in whatever form whereby a city or town may grant general permission to a service provider to enter, use, and occupy the right of way for the purpose of locating facilities. This definition is not intended to limit, alter, or change the extent of the existing authority of a city or town to require a franchise nor does it change the status of a service provider asserting an existing state-wide grant based on a predecessor telephone or telegraph company's existence at the time of the adoption of the Washington state Constitution to occupy the right of way. For the purposes of this subsection, a franchise, except for a cable television franchise, is a master permit. A master permit does not include cable television franchises.

             (4) "Personal wireless services" means commercial mobile services, unlicensed wireless services, and common carrier wireless exchange access services, as defined by federal laws and regulations.

             (5) "Right of way" means land acquired or dedicated for public roads and streets, but does not include:

             (a) State highways;

             (b) Land dedicated for roads, streets, and highways not opened and not improved for motor vehicle use by the public;

             (c) Structures, including poles and conduits, located within the right of way;

             (d) Federally granted trust lands or forest board trust lands;

             (e) Lands owned or managed by the state parks and recreation commission; or

             (f) Federally granted railroad rights of way acquired under 43 U.S.C. Sec. 912 and related provisions of federal law that are not open for motor vehicle use.

             (6) "Service provider" means every corporation, company, association, joint stock association, firm, partnership, person, city, or town owning, operating, or managing any facilities used to provide and providing telecommunications or cable television service for hire, sale, or resale to the general public. Service provider includes the legal successor to any such corporation, company, association, joint stock association, firm, partnership, person, city, or town.

             (7) "Telecommunications service" means the transmission of information by wire, radio, optical cable, electromagnetic, or other similar means for hire, sale, or resale to the general public. For the purpose of this subsection, "information" means knowledge or intelligence represented by any form of writing, signs, signals, pictures, sounds, or any other symbols. For the purpose of this chapter, telecommunications service excludes the over-the-air transmission of broadcast television or broadcast radio signals.

             (8) "Use permit" means the authorization in whatever form whereby a city or town may grant permission to a service provider to enter and use the specified right of way for the purpose of installing, maintaining, repairing, or removing identified facilities.

             NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A city or town may grant, issue, or deny permits for the use of the right of way by a service provider for installing, maintaining, repairing, or removing facilities for telecommunications services or cable television services pursuant to ordinances, consistent with this act.

             NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. (1) Cities and towns may require a service provider to obtain a master permit. A city or town may request, but not require, that a service provider with an existing state-wide grant to occupy the right of way obtain a master permit for wireline facilities.

              (a) The procedures for the approval of a master permit and the requirements for a complete application for a master permit shall be available in written form.

              (b) Where a city or town requires a master permit, the city or town shall act upon a complete application within one hundred twenty days from the date a service provider files the complete application for the master permit to use the right of way, except:

             (i) With the agreement of the applicant; or

             (ii) Where the master permit requires action of the legislative body of the city or town and such action cannot reasonably be obtained within the one hundred twenty day period.

             (2) A city or town may require that a service provider obtain a use permit. A city or town must act on a request for a use permit by a service provider within thirty days of receipt of a completed application, unless a service provider consents to a different time period or the service provider has not obtained a master permit requested by the city or town.

             (a) For the purpose of this section, "act" means that the city makes the decision to grant, condition, or deny the use permit, which may be subject to administrative appeal, or notifies the applicant in writing of the amount of time that will be required to make the decision and the reasons for this time period.

             (b) Requirements otherwise applicable to holders of master permits shall be deemed satisfied by a holder of a cable franchise in good standing.

             (c) Where the master permit does not contain procedures to expedite approvals and the service provider requires action in less than thirty days, the service provider shall advise the city or town in writing of the reasons why a shortened time period is necessary and the time period within which action by the city or town is requested. The city or town shall reasonably cooperate to meet the request where practicable.

             (d) A city or town may not deny a use permit to a service provider with an existing state-wide grant to occupy the right of way for wireline facilities on the basis of failure to obtain a master permit.

             (3) The reasons for a denial of a master permit shall be supported by substantial evidence contained in a written record. A service provider adversely affected by the final action denying a master permit, or by an unreasonable failure to act on a master permit as set forth in subsection (1) of this section, may commence an action within thirty days to seek relief, which shall be limited to injunctive relief.

             (4) A service provider adversely affected by the final action denying a use permit may commence an action within thirty days to seek relief, which shall be limited to injunctive relief. In any appeal of the final action denying a use permit, the standard for review and burden of proof shall be as set forth in RCW 36.70C.130.

             (5) A city or town shall:

             (a) In order to facilitate the scheduling and coordination of work in the right of way, provide as much advance notice as reasonable of plans to open the right of way to those service providers who are current users of the right of way or who have filed notice with the clerk of the city or town within the past twelve months of their intent to place facilities in the city or town. A city is not liable for damages for failure to provide this notice. Where the city has failed to provide notice of plans to open the right of way consistent with this subsection, a city may not deny a use permit to a service provider on the basis that the service provider failed to coordinate with another project.

             (b) Have the authority to require that facilities are installed and maintained within the right of way in such a manner and at such points so as not to inconvenience the public use of the right of way or to adversely affect the public, health, safety, and welfare.

             (6) A service provider shall:

             (a) Obtain all permits required by the city or town for the installation, maintenance, repair, or removal of facilities in the right of way;

             (b) Comply with applicable ordinances, construction codes, regulations, and standards subject to verification by the city or town of such compliance;

             (c) Cooperate with the city or town in ensuring that facilities are installed, maintained, repaired, and removed within the right of way in such a manner and at such points so as not to inconvenience the public use of the right of way or to adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare;

             (d) Provide information and plans as reasonably necessary to enable a city or town to comply with subsection (5) of this section, including, when notified by the city or town, the provision of advance planning information pursuant to the procedures established by the city or town;

             (e) Obtain the written approval of the facility or structure owner, if the service provider does not own it, prior to attaching to or otherwise using a facility or structure in the right of way;

             (f) Construct, install, operate, and maintain its facilities at its expense; and

             (g) Comply with applicable federal and state safety laws and standards.

             (7) Nothing in this section shall be construed as:

             (a) Creating a new duty upon city or towns to be responsible for construction of facilities for service providers or to modify the right of way to accommodate such facilities;

             (b) Creating, expanding, or extending any liability of a city or town to any third-party user of facilities or third-party beneficiary; or

             (c) Limiting the right of a city or town to require an indemnification agreement as a condition of a service provider's facilities occupying the right of way.

             (8) Nothing in this section creates, modifies, expands, or diminishes a priority of use of the right of way by a service provider or other utility, either in relation to other service providers or in relation to other users of the right of way for other purposes.

             NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. (1) A city or town shall not adopt or enforce regulations or ordinances specifically relating to use of the right of way by a service provider that:

             (a) Impose requirements that regulate the services or business operations of the service provider, except where otherwise authorized in state or federal law;

             (b) Conflict with federal or state laws, rules, or regulations that specifically apply to the design, construction, and operation of facilities or with federal or state worker safety or public safety laws, rules, or regulations;

             (c) Regulate the services provided based upon the content or kind of signals that are carried or are capable of being carried over the facilities, except where otherwise authorized in state or federal law; or

             (d) Unreasonably deny the use of the right of way by a service provider for installing, maintaining, repairing, or removing facilities for telecommunications services or cable television services.

             (2) Nothing in this chapter, including but not limited to the provisions of subsection (1)(d) of this section, limits the authority of a city or town to regulate the placement of facilities through its local zoning or police power, if the regulations do not otherwise:

             (a) Prohibit the placement of all wireless or of all wireline facilities within the city or town;

             (b) Prohibit the placement of all wireless or of all wireline facilities within city or town rights of way, unless the city or town is less than five square miles in size and has no commercial areas, in which case the city or town may make available land other than city or town rights of way for the placement of wireless facilities; or

             (c) Violate section 253 of the telecommunications act of 1996, P.L. 104-104 (110 Stat. 56).

             (3) This section does not amend, limit, repeal, or otherwise modify the authority of cities or towns to regulate cable television services pursuant to federal law.

             NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. (1) A city or town shall not place or extend a moratorium on the acceptance and processing of applications, permitting, construction, maintenance, repair, replacement, extension, operation, or use of any facilities for personal wireless services, except as consistent with the guidelines for facilities siting implementation, as agreed to on August 5, 1998, by the federal communications commission's local and state government advisory committee, the cellular telecommunications industry association, the personal communications industry association, and the American mobile telecommunications association. Any city or town implementing such a moratorium shall, at the request of a service provider impacted by the moratorium, participate with the service provider in the informal dispute resolution process included with the guidelines for facilities siting implementation.

             NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. (1) Cities and towns may require service providers to relocate authorized facilities within the right of way when reasonably necessary for construction, alteration, repair, or improvement of the right of way for purposes of public welfare, health, or safety.

             (2) Cities shall notify service providers as soon as practicable of the need for relocation and shall specify the date by which relocation shall be completed. In calculating the date that relocation must be completed, cities shall consult with affected service providers and consider the extent of facilities to be relocated, the services requirements, and the construction sequence for the relocation, within the city's overall project construction sequence and constraints, to safely complete the relocation. Service providers shall complete the relocation by the date specified, unless the city, or a reviewing court, establishes a later date for completion, after a showing by the service provider that the relocation cannot be completed by the date specified using best efforts and meeting safety and service requirements.

             (3) Service providers may not seek reimbursement for their relocation expenses from the city or town requesting relocation under subsection (1) of this section except:

             (a) Where the service provider had paid for the relocation cost of the same facilities at the request of the city or town within the past five years, the service provider's share of the cost of relocation will be paid by the city or town requesting relocation;

             (b) Where aerial to underground relocation of authorized facilities is required by the city or town under subsection (1) of this section, for service providers with an ownership share of the aerial supporting structures, the additional incremental cost of underground compared to aerial relocation, or as provided for in the approved tariff if less, will be paid by the city or town requiring relocation; and

             (c) Where the city or town requests relocation under subsection (1) of this section solely for aesthetic purposes, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.

             (4) Where a project in subsection (1) of this section is primarily for private benefit, the private party or parties shall reimburse the cost of relocation in the same proportion to their contribution to the costs of the project. Service providers will not be precluded from recovering their costs associated with relocation required under subsection (1) of this section, provided that the recovery is consistent with subsection (3) of this section and other applicable laws.

             (5) A city or town may require the relocation of facilities at the service provider's expense in the event of an unforeseen emergency that creates an immediate threat to the public safety, health, or welfare.

             NEW SECTION. Sec. 7. A city or town may require that a service provider that is constructing, relocating, or placing ducts or conduits in public rights of way provide the city or town with additional duct or conduit and related structures necessary to access the conduit, provided that:

             (1) The city or town enters into a contract with the service provider consistent with RCW 80.36.150. The contract rates to be charged should recover the incremental costs of the service provider. If the city or town makes the additional duct or conduit and related access structures available to any other entity for the purposes of providing telecommunications or cable television service for hire, sale, or resale to the general public, the rates to be charged, as set forth in the contract with the entity that constructed the conduit or duct, shall recover at least the fully allocated costs of the service provider. The service provider shall state both contract rates in the contract. The city or town shall inform the service provider of the use, and any change in use, of the requested duct or conduit and related access structures to determine the applicable rate to be paid by the city or town.

             (2) Except as otherwise agreed by the service provider and the city or town, the city or town shall agree that the requested additional duct or conduit space and related access structures will not be used by the city or town to provide telecommunications or cable television service for hire, sale, or resale to the general public.

             (3) The city or town shall not require that the additional duct or conduit space be connected to the access structures and vaults of the service provider.

             (4) The value of the additional duct or conduit requested by a city or town shall not be considered a public works construction contract.

             (5) This section shall not affect the provision of an institutional network by a cable television provider under federal law.

             Sec. 8. RCW 35.21.860 and 1983 2nd ex.s. c 3 s 39 are each amended to read as follows:

             (1) No city or town may impose a franchise fee or any other fee or charge of whatever nature or description upon the light and power, or gas distribution businesses, as defined in RCW 82.16.010, or telephone business, as defined in RCW 82.04.065, or service provider for use of the right of way, except ((that)):

             (a) A tax authorized by RCW 35.21.865 may be imposed ((and));

             (b) A fee may be charged to such businesses or service providers that recovers actual administrative expenses incurred by a city or town that are directly related to receiving and approving a permit, license, and franchise, to inspecting plans and construction, or to the preparation of a detailed statement pursuant to chapter 43.21C RCW;

             (c) Taxes permitted by state law on service providers;

             (d) Franchise requirements and fees for cable television services as allowed by federal law; and

             (e) A site-specific charge pursuant to an agreement between the city or town and a service provider of personal wireless services acceptable to the parties for:

             (i) The placement of new structures in the right of way regardless of height, unless the new structure is the result of a mandated relocation in which case no charge will be imposed if the previous location was not charged;

             (ii) The placement of replacement structures when the replacement is necessary for the installation or attachment of wireless facilities, and the overall height of the replacement structure and the wireless facility is more than sixty feet; or

             (iii) The placement of personal wireless facilities on structures owned by the city or town located in the right of way. However, a site-specific charge shall not apply to the placement of personal wireless facilities on existing structures, unless the structure is owned by the city or town.

             A city or town is not required to approve the use permit for the placement of a facility for personal wireless services that meets one of the criteria in this subsection absent such an agreement. If the parties are unable to agree on the amount of the charge, the service provider may submit the amount of the charge to binding arbitration by serving notice on the city or town. Within thirty days of receipt of the initial notice, each party shall furnish a list of acceptable arbitrators. The parties shall select an arbitrator; failing to agree on an arbitrator, each party shall select one arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator for an arbitration panel. The arbitrator or arbitrators shall determine the charge based on comparable siting agreements involving public land and rights of way. The arbitrator or arbitrators shall not decide any other disputed issues, including but not limited to size, location, and zoning requirements. Costs of the arbitration, including compensation for the arbitrator's services, must be borne equally by the parties participating in the arbitration and each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including legal fees and witness expenses, in connection with the arbitration proceeding.

             (2) Subsection (1) of this section does not prohibit franchise fees imposed on an electrical energy, natural gas, or telephone business, by contract existing on April 20, 1982, with a city or town, for the duration of the contract, but the franchise fees shall be considered taxes for the purposes of the limitations established in RCW 35.21.865 and 35.21.870 to the extent the fees exceed the costs allowable under subsection (1) of this section.

             NEW SECTION. Sec. 9. This act shall not preempt specific provisions in existing franchises or contracts between cities or towns and service providers.

             NEW SECTION. Sec. 10. A new section is added to chapter 35A.21 RCW to read as follows:

             Each code city is subject to the requirements and restrictions regarding facilities and rights of way under this chapter.

             NEW SECTION. Sec. 11. Sections 1 through 7 and 9 of this act constitute a new chapter in Title 35 RCW."
