Puget Sound Ferry
Operations Account‑-State
Appropriation.............................. $ ((321,673,000))
311,312,000
The appropriation in
this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations and
specified amounts are provided solely for that activity:
(1) The appropriation
is based on the budgeted expenditure of (($46,881,000)) $35,159,000
for vessel operating fuel in the 2001-2003 biennium. If the actual cost of
fuel is less than this budgeted amount, the excess amount may not be expended.
If the actual cost exceeds this amount, the department shall request a
supplemental appropriation.
(2) The appropriation
provides for the compensation of ferry employees. The expenditures for
compensation paid to ferry employees during the 2001-2003 biennium may not
exceed (($206,696,000)) $207,065,000 plus a dollar amount, as
prescribed by the office of financial management, that is equal to any
insurance benefit increase granted general government employees in excess of
$432.82 a month annualized per eligible marine employee multiplied by the
number of eligible marine employees for the respective fiscal year, a dollar
amount as prescribed by the office of financial management for costs associated
with pension amortization charges, and a dollar amount prescribed by the office
of financial management for salary increases during the 2001-2003 biennium. 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 "B"
(7.2.6.2).
The prescribed salary
and insurance benefit increase or decrease dollar amount that shall be
allocated from the governor's compensation appropriations is in addition to the
appropriation contained in this section and may be used to increase or decrease
compensation costs, effective July 1, 2001, and thereafter, as established in
the 2001-2003 general fund operating budget.
(3) The department
shall issue a request for information from entities interested in purchasing
advertising on board Washington state ferry vessels. The department shall
evaluate the proposals and report back to the legislature's transportation
committees in January 2002 regarding the potential for revenue from different
types of advertising.
(4) The department may
enter into contracts with private vendors to sell ferry tickets and medium at
locations other than Washington state ferry terminals or facilities.
(a) The department may
enter into the contracts only (i) with private vendors that are already
established businesses offering goods for sale to the general public; and (ii)
if it determines that the vendor's established location has the potential to
serve a significant percentage of the customers using a particular ferry route.
(b) The department may
adopt necessary rules and procedures to allow the use of credit and debit cards
to purchase ferry tickets or medium from a private vendor who has contracted
with the department to sell ferry tickets or medium. The department may
establish a convenience fee to be paid by all persons purchasing ferry tickets
and medium at locations other than Washington state ferry terminals or
facilities. The convenience fee must be sufficient to offset the charges
imposed on the department by the credit and debit card companies. In no event
may the use of credit or debit cards authorized by this section create a loss
of revenue to the state. The use of a personal credit card does not rely upon
the credit of the state as prohibited by Article VIII, section 5 of the state
Constitution.
(5) ((The
legislature recognizes that projected revenues to the Puget Sound ferry
operating account for the 2001-2003 biennium may be up to $30,000,000 less than
what is required to fund the appropriation provided in this section. The
legislature intends to fully evaluate the extent of the shortfall and make a
supplemental appropriation during the 2002 legislative session.)) The
legislature recognizes the value of a regional fare collection system to
promote intermodal travel throughout Washington state ferries' Puget Sound
service area and therefore encourages the department to resume participation in
the regional fare coordination project (smart card). The department shall
develop a request for funding of the on‑going operating costs associated
with the regional fare coordination project and shall present this request to
the 2003 legislature. The request for funding shall be sufficient to support a
system that prevents the disclosure of personally identifying information of persons
who use a smart card to facilitate payment of ferry fares. The requested
system may facilitate the disclosure of aggregate information on fare
collection to governmental agencies or groups concerned with public
transportation or public safety as long as the data does not contain any
personally identifying information. The requested system shall not prevent the
release of personally identifying information to law enforcement agencies when
required by a subpoena.

in concurrency calculations. The study will also investigate what changes in
state and local laws are needed in order to provide a more effective way of
dealing with concurrency issues. By November 1, 2003, a report of the findings
will be made to the transportation committees of the legislature. The
appropriation in this subsection shall lapse unless the participating cities
provide $100,000 for the study. To the extent possible, state funding for
