BACKGROUND Tukwila has received a Waste Reduction /Recycling (WRR) grant from King County Solid Waste to support the Recycling Program's work from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. A signed agreement is required in order to receive the funds. Tukwila's Recycling Assistance Program operates exclusively through grant funding, without City of Tukwila General Fund or Utility Fund monies used. Tukwila has received the WRR grant for a number of years through a formula based on its population and employment. The WRR grant provides part of DCD's staff labor budget and is regularly included in the City's overall budget. DISCUSSION Waste Reduction /Recycling Grant (W /RR) The Waste Reduction /Recycling grant from the King County Solid Waste division totals $35,883 for the 12 month grant period. (attached) A portion of the WRR grant funds will be used to provide the required 25% match for the Coordinated Prevention Grant (CPG) grant from the Washington Department of Ecology. WRR grant funds are allocated as follows: • Non - residential Recycling —($18, 758) The bulk of the grant will assist Tukwila businesses on -site or through other methods as they reduce waste, start or improve recycling programs, purchase recycled products, and use sustainable business practices. Staff will work focus on sites with property managers and multiple tenants, including some multi - family sites. We will also work with City of Tukwila facilities. Funding will support Department of Community Development staff hours, printed materials such a resource guide sent to all businesses with their business license renewal, support materials such as special collection containers and bags, and consultant assistance. • Special Residential Recycling Collection — ($2,125) Funds will be used to operate an event in Spring, 2014 to collect secondary recyclables (i.e. "hard -to- recycle" goods such as i.e. tires, sinks, furniture, bulky yard debris, etc.) from Tukwila residents. 3 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 • Residential Programs ($4, 500) The Recycling Program will conduct the annual Tukwila Community Garage Sale to emphasize reuse and recycling among residents. The program will also purchase recycled plastic rain barrels and distribute them to residents at reduced cost. • Sustainable Policy and Code Review and Development ($2, 000) Department of Community Development staff will do background work to review and update certain policies and codes to enhance sustainability efforts. Topics will include a "Green Building Code," and urban forestry/tree protection. • Rain and Compost Gardens ($8, 500) The Recycling Program will work with the Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department to relocate the 15 -year old Compost Demonstration Garden from the Tukwila Community Center to a preferred site at the new Gully Gardens at 13017 Macadam Rd S. The Compost Garden will be redesigned, and improved to coordinate with the existing P- Patch. A rain garden will also be installed. Educational signs will be prepared and installed. RECOMMENDATION Forward this item directly to the Consent Agenda of the January 21, 2014 Regular Meeting. This action will authorize the Mayor to sign an Interagency Agreement with the King County Solid Waste Division and accept grant funding for Tukwila's Recycling Assistance Program through December 31, 2014.

Collectively, the County and City will be referred to as "Party" or "Parties." PREAMBLE King County and the City of Tukwila adopted the 2001 King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan, which includes waste reduction and recycling goals. In order to help meet these goals, the King County Solid Waste Division has established a waste reduction and recycling grant program for the cities that operate under the King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management PIan. This program provides funding to further the development and/or enhancement of local waste reduction and recycling projects and for broader resource conservation projects that integrate with waste reduction and recycling programs and services. This grant program does not fund household hazardous waste collection activities. Program eligibility and grant administration terms are discussed in the Grant Guidelines, attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B. Grant funding for this program is subject to the yearly budget approval process of the King County Council. Grant funding approved by the King County Council is available to all King County cities that operate under the King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan. The City will spend its grant funds to fulfill the terms and conditions set forth in the scope of work which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. The County expects that any information and/or experience gained through the grant program by the City will be shared with the County and other King County cities. I.

The event will also provide an opportunity to recycle moderate risk waste. The King County Health Department, the City of Tukwila, and Washington State Department of Ecology will pay for event expenses as well. F) Task Impact Objectives: By hosting Recycling Collection Events, Tukwila can reduce the amount of recyclable material finding their way to the local landfill. The City of Tukwila has a population of approximately 19,080. Based on past events, the City expects that 350 -450 households will actively participate by bringing recyclable materials to the event for proper disposal and recycling. This will result in 25 -30 tons of material diverted from the local waste stream for recycling. In addition to diverting materials from the City waste stream, attracting residents to events provides an opportunity to distribute educational material on City and King County recycling programs. The educational materials can enhance the knowledge of residents and improve behavior in purchase, handling, and disposal of recyclable materials. 2. Task Two: Commercial /Multi - Family Recycling a. Project Manager: Rebecca Fox, Senior Planner b. Consultant The City of Tukwila will work with a consultant /recycling technical assistance specialist. c. Schedule First quarter, 2014 — December 31, 2014 d. Goals • Increase awareness among Tukwila businesses of the benefits of recycling and the technical assistance which the City offers. • Increase awareness of and support for product stewardship. • Work with businesses and multi - family complexes to sign up for recycling services, including the free recycling services offered via contract with Waste Management, and to down -size garbage service in order to save money and /or be more environmentally friendly. • Expand the number of businesses who sign up for recycling and ultimately improve waste diversion. • Reduce waste produced by businesses, and ensure that businesses are recycling the correct items onsite, and bringing other items, such as computers, to proper recycling facilities.

Program /Project Specifics 1) Performance Objectives: • Business Outreach/Technical Assistance . The City of Tukwila will provide technical assistance to help businesses, including City of Tukwila facilities and some multi- family complexes, start or improve recycling programs, waste prevention and purchase of recycled products either by e-mail, telephone, mail or on -site visits. City of Tukwila staff, assisted by a Business Recycling and Waste Prevention Specialist (consultant to the City of Tukwila) will respond when individual businesses, multi - tenant properties and property managers request assistance. We expect to generate requests for recycling assistance by providing information about business recycling services on the City of Tukwila's website, and by including information about City- sponsored recycling programs in the "Tukwila Reporter," and with business license mailings. We will send targeted postcards (and emails as possible) to Tukwila businesses, advising them of free recycling service and technical assistance. We will offer free desk -side recycling containers made of recycled plastic as an incentive to businesses that start or improve recycling/waste reduction /stewardship programs.. We will continue our focus on City of Tukwila as a business to improve recycling, waste reduction and environmentally - preferable purchasing practices among City of Tukwila employees, at City of Tukwila facilities, and at City- sponsored events for the public. We will continue recognition programs that highlight outstanding business recycling programs throughout Tukwila ( "Tukwila Green Works" and "Tukwila Business Recycler of the Year "). If other opportunities arise, we will adjust the work plan for greatest effectiveness. Timely, scheduled telephone follow -up will be provided to all businesses reached for technical assistance either by the staff project manager or the consultant. We will assist businesses with recycling, waste prevention and purchasing of recycled content goods, and, when possible, also furnish information about product stewardship, and conserving other resources used in typical business activities. We will give them information about recycling onsite, as well as proper offsite disposal /recycling of electronics and mercury bulbs. By contacting companies directly with individualized information we hope to prepare and motivate businesses to change and improve their solid waste behaviors. Tukwila's solid waste contract with Waste Management includes embedded commercial recycling. We will work with Waste Management to increase signups. We will continue to coordinate with King County's Business Recycling Program by working with any Tukwila business that is referred to us, and to participate in the Solid Waste Division's industry- , topic -, or area - specific campaigns.

Goals : Task 3 -A: • Rain Barrels: Encourage greater awareness and use of water conservation and and green gardening strategies by (single - family) Tukwila residents • Help home gardeners to acquire and use recycled- content gardening equipment (i.e. recycled plastic rain barrels) RF Page 7 of 12 01/13/2014 H: \GRANTS- 2014 ---WRR \Grant Guidelines + Application \WRR scope- 2014 -- November, 2013-- rev.1.14.doc 19 CITY OF TUKWILA 2014 WRR GRANT Task 3 -B: Community Garage Sale: • Support recycling and reuse of household goods by supporting an event, such as the community -wide "garage sale" for Tukwila residents, and updating recycling information on the City of Tukwila website. e. Program /Project Specifics Background /History Task 3A: Rain barrels are a popular green gardening product for Tukwila residents. In prior years, the City has offered compost bins, worm bins and compost bins for residents at significant subsidy. Each item has been well- received, and has increased composting (compost bins, worm bins) or water conserving (rain barrel) behaviors among Tukwila residents, as well as awareness of recycled content goods. This project will make it easier for Tukwila residents to buy and use recycled- content rain barrels, conserve water, and practice other green gardening activities. Grant funds will be used to buy barrels and work with a contractor to sell the barrels at the annual RCE. Task 3B: WRR funds will support Tukwila's recycling and reuse - oriented Community Garage Sale. Tukwila residents will hold garage /yard /rummage sales at their homes across Tukwila during one summer 2014 weekend. Tukwila will use WRR funding to provide resources for staffing, advertising, and information about the event and reuse of goods to be disseminated to the public. Objectives: Task 3 -A: • Buy approximately 40 recycled plastic rain barrels and sell them to Tukwila residents at a reduced cost • Divert plastic from the waste stream • Promote the use of recycled content products Tukwila will purchase approximately 40 recycled plastic rain barrels and sell them at a 50 to 60% discount to Tukwila residents at the Residential Recycling Collection Event (RCE). To encourage purchase and use, we will charge the residents a reduced fee of approximately $20 per barrel. The City will publicize the distribution event(s) through its Residential Collection Event (RCE) mailing to all Tukwila residents. Each recycled plastic rain barrel weighs approximately 40 pounds, and diverts approximately twice that amount (80 pounds) from the waste stream. We expect to sell all the bins. This will divert a significant amount of plastic from the waste stream and demonstrate clearly the use of a high - quality product made from recycled content. In addition to encouraging market development for plastics, distributing rain barrels encourages Tukwila residents to conserve water for reuse in the lawn and garden, and reduces surface water runoff.

During 2014 will continue this work by starting to prepare development code based on new urban forestry and natural environment policies including one or more of the following: • Revisions to the existing Tree Ordinance, to improve its effectiveness in light of the new policies. The existing ordinance, adopted in 1995, is 'confusing, only regulates individual trees in sensitive areas and is not really providing much tree protection on steep slopes. It also does not specify state -of -the art tree protection measures to be used during construction activities. • Revisions to the Landscape Code, to address new urban forestry policies, increase energy efficiency and improve storm water management in commercial and industrial zones. These revisions will help in implementing the City's new storm water regulations which encourage low impact development using on -site infiltration methods. Increasing tree canopy and density in these areas will help promote more environmentally friendly storm water management. The intent would also be to improve tree management in these areas to provide for more diversity in species, promote better tree care (such as prohibiting topping or improper pruning, require replacement if a tree dies, etc.). • Revisions to street tree policies and a plan for street tree management and funding. There is currently inadequate funding for street tree installation and no measures to regulate tree care, conflicting policies about allowed tree species, lack of understanding about maintaining tree health, Objectives: WRR funds will support staff time to prepare development codes that protect and enhance tree cover and guide appropriate landscaping. This will also include educating the public, development community, appointed and elected officials about the value of trees in the urban environment. Public outreach and education will occur through articles in the Hazelnut newsletter, online, and in the Tukwila reporter. The public can participate in the process through public meetings and hearings. Staff may form and use a Tree Advisory Committee composed of members of the community, and tree specialists similar to the Comprehensive Plan update's Tree Committee. A decision has not yet been reached.

The site needs to be refreshed and repaired with new bins, signs, bench and sustainable landscaping in order to restore its usefulness and functionality. In addition, we hope to install a rain garden to complement the compost demonstration site. The rain garden will feature examples of planting and landscaping that protect the adjacent Duwamish River. Educational /explanatory signage will also be installed. We hope to integrate the Rain Garden and Compost Demonstration sites, and will provide coordinated educational signage. Once the sites are completed, we'd like to offer programing and /or demonstrations to the public on composting and building a rain garden. The programs may occur after the completion of the 2014 WRR grant. Objective: • Restore, repair existing Compost Demonstration Garden, including educational /descriptive signage, bins, landscaping. • Construct Rain Garden adjacent to Compost Demonstration Garden and Duwamish River, including native /sustainable plants and educational signage describing runoff /pollution issues and sustainable plants.
