INFORMATIONAL MEMO <br />Page 2 <br />DISCUSSION <br />Staff have been encouraged by KCD staff to apply for funding to continue the Green Tukwila <br />workplan. <br />The grant project will be for a one-year scope of work and will include the temporary increase in <br />staff hours (10hrs/week), supplies, and contracted professional crews. Funds from Parks <br />Maintenance ($10,000) and the Recreation division ($5,000) budgets, along with staff time <br />(10hrs/week), will be used for the matching portion of the grant. With authorization to apply, staff <br />will be seeking to allocate a total of 20hrs/week (.5FTE) of time throughout the next year to <br />continue implementing the Green Tukwila program. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />The total 2020 expense for this project is $71,400. The Parks & Recreation general fund budget <br />will cover 50,400 of the expense which exceeds matching recommendations for jurisdictional <br />funds. This is comprised of staff time already allocated to the program and contracted <br />professional restoration crews. The remaining $21,000 are grant funds that will be reimbursed to <br />the city by KCD, as summarized below: <br />Tukwila P&R Budget <br />$ <br />50,400 <br />KCD Funds <br />$ <br />21,000 <br />PROJECT TOTAL <br />$ <br />71,400 <br />Below is a table categorizing the funds and how they will be expended and reimbursed. <br />KCD Parks and Recreation <br />2020 Request/Reimbursement Budget (match) <br />Salaries & Benefits <br />21,000 <br />33,400 <br />Field Supplies <br />5,000 <br />Professional Services <br />12,000 <br />GRANT TOTAL <br />21,000 <br />50,400 <br />This is a reimbursement grant; therefore, initial expenditures will come from the Parks & <br />Recreation general fund budget, then will be reimbursed with King Conservation District <br />jurisdictional funds. While there is no net increase to the budget, due to reimbursement and <br />accounting procedures the P&R budget will be overspent by $21,000 in 2020, however those <br />funds will be reimbursed by the KCD jurisdictional funds. This will be included in the 2020 year- <br />end budget amendment. Finally, the request for funding is $21,000, therefore, once awarded <br />staff will seek the Mayor's signature for the agreement. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Council Committee is being asked to authorize application for King Conservation District <br />jurisdictional funds. <br />ATTACHMENT <br />No attachments <br />50 <br />
