A. 4Culture Heritage Cultural Facilities Grant Application
Parks staff is seeking Committee approval to apply for $250,000 from the 4Culture Heritage
Cultural Facilities Grant for the Duwamish Hill Preserve. Construction of Phase 2 is approximately
50% complete. If the application is successful, the grant funding will provide for an entrance kiosk,
ethnobotanical and wayfinding signs, bench blocks and backs, and plantings. There is no required
match from the City. Committee members were supportive of the pursuit of this grant. They also
discussed that it might be a good idea to review the policy requiring staff to gain Committee
approval prior to any grant submission. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
