Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Minutes July 16, 2019
E. Grant Application: Municipal Stormwater Capacity Building
Staff is seeking Committee approval to apply for $95,000 in funding from the 2019-2021 Municipal
Stormwater Capacity -Building program from the Department of Ecology. All projects must support
compliance with stormwater permit programs as outlined in the 2019-2024 NPDES Western

F. Capital Purchase: Snow and Ice Response Equipment

325-gallon anti -ice sprayer, 2-cubic yard poly sander, and 8-foot plow in the amount of $52,264.30.
Financial Policy FP-7 requires Council approval for unbudgeted capital purchases between $5,000-
39,999.00 Staff determined after the February 2019 storms that winter operations would be more
efficient and reliable with a salt brine storage tank on site. This would eliminate multiple trips to
SeaTac and save approximately $4,992 by reducing response times. The anti -ice sprayer, sander
and plow would be used to equip a maintenance truck to remove snow and ice from City facilities.
