II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Emergency Sewer Repair at 1227 Andover Park E
Staff updated the Committee on an emergency sewer repair at 1227 Andover Park East. During
preparation for the 2015 -2016 Central Business District Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project,
gravel debris revealed a possible break in the sewer main. Bravo Environmental was contracted
to video the line and while doing so their camera became lodged in the pipe. R.L. Alia was hired
to perform emergency excavation to remove the camera, and will continue performing repair of
the pipe. This work will be paid from the 2015/2016 CBD Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project.
Costs are being tracked and will be provided to the Committee as soon as possible. A resolution
to declare an emergency will be presented to the Committee at a later date. Committee Chair
requested a project update for the entire Council, and staff offered to tie this in with the 2015-
2016 CBD Sanitary Sewer Rehab Project bid award. INFORMATION ONLY.
B. "Green the Green" Grant Application Submittal
Staff is seeking Committee approval to submit an application for up to $100,000 to the King
County Flood Control District Cooperative Watershed Management (CWM) Grant Program
to fund riparian planting at a location to be determined. The "Green the Green" program is
designed for planting projects adjacent to the banks of the Green /Duwamish River, Soos
Creek and Newaukum Creek. Staff from Public Works, Parks, and Community Development
are working together to identify the best site or sites and to design a project proposal. While
matching funds are not required, up to $10,000 of stormwater funds may be proposed in the
application to increase the likelihood of award. The Committee requested outreach to the
Muckleshoot Tribe during the site /project selection process as they have a tree canopy shade
map. COMMITTEE APPROVAL.
