ISSUE
Authorize the submittal of a grant application to the Washington State Recreation and Conservation
Office (RCO) and other future grant opportunities to fund the Riverton Creek Flap Gate Removal
Project.
BACKGROUND
The Riverton Creek Flap Gate Removal Project will restore fish passage to Riverton Creek. The
project, which was previously designed to an approximately 50% level, is estimated to cost
$600,000. Approximately $80,000 will be needed to complete design and permitting and about
$100,000 will be needed for construction management,
DISCUSSION
The RCO is currently seeking applications for its Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration Fund
(PSAR). Current City policy requires approval by the appropriate Committee before applying for
grants.
FISCAL IMPACT
The PSAR grant requires Lead Entity approval, which in the case of the City of Tukwila is WRIA 9.
WRIA 9 is proposing to fund approximately $551,070 of its allocated 2017-2019 PSAR allocation to
this project. A 15% local sponsor match is required, which is $82,661.
The Riverton Creek Flapgate Removal project may be eligible to match with other grant sources.
RECOMMENDATION
Utilities Committee approval to submit an application to RCO and other grant opportunities that
become available for its PSAR grants for State Fiscal Year 2017 for the Riverton Creek Flap Gate
Removal Project.
