If successful, the grant agreement would be with the King County Flood <br />Control District. Current City policy requires approval by the appropriate Committee before <br />applying for grants. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The City's Green the Green Project will enhance shoreline riparian plant communities within <br />Tukwila, which will benefit salmon and beautify our river corridor. Currently, the City and its <br />consultant, the King Conservation District, are working with two private property owners to provide <br />shoreline vegetation enhancements consistent with WRIA 9's Re -Green the Green: Riparian <br />Revegetation Strategy for the Green Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed (WRIA 9, <br />2016). The maximum amount that may be awarded is $50,000.00. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no match required for the WRIA 9 grant. Other funding for this project comes from a <br />currently active CWM grant for $53,459.00, and a portion of CIP funds as $20,000.00 is budgeted <br />in the CIP for 2018. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Council is being asked to approve the submittal of application to WRIA 9 and to other grant <br />opportunities that may become available for the Green the Green Project. <br />Attachments: page 107, 2017 CIP <br />2018 Grant Funding Available for Riparian Revegetation Projects <br />W:WW Eng \PROJECTS\A- DR Projects\Green the Green \ Grants \2018 CWM Grant\Info Memo_Green the Green grant app_2018-04-20 gl.docx <br />37 <br />
