On page 17, after line 9, insert the following:

"(16) The Washington State Patrol is directed to terminate its "Agreement for Utility Connection and Reimbursement of Water Extension Expenses" with the City of Shelton, executed on June 12, 2017, subject to the City of Shelton's consent to terminate the agreement. The legislature finds that the water connection extension constructed by the Washington State Patrol from the City of Shelton's water facilities to the Washington State Patrol Academy was necessary to meet the water supply needs of the Academy. The legislature also finds that the water connection provides an ongoing water supply that is necessary to the operation of the training facility, that the state is making use of the water connection for these public activities, and that any future incidental use of the municipal infrastructure put in place to support these activities will not impede the Washington State Patrol's ongoing use of the water connection extension. Therefore, the legislature determines that under the public policy of this state, reimbursement by any other entity is not required, notwithstanding any prior condition regarding contributions of other entities that Washington State Patrol was required to satisfy prior to expenditure of the funds for construction of the extension, and that the Washington State Patrol shall terminate the agreement."
