INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
FROM: Henry Hash, Public Works Director ///-
BY: Mike Perfetti, Habitat Project Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: May 11, 2018
SUBJECT: Chinook Wind
Project No. 91441202
Grant Application
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
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 public access portion of the Chinook
Wind Project.
BACKGROUND
King County acquired the Chinook Wind site in 2015 and is currently developing the habitat
restoration component through their in -lieu fee mitigation program. The City of Tukwila, per City
Resolution No. 1856, will accept ownership of the Chinook Wind property in the future. As such,
the City desires to develop public use and maintenance access to Chinook Wind, including a trail,
trailhead parking, site furnishings, and signage.
DISCUSSION
RCO is currently seeking applications for several of its grant programs. Staff has identified RCO's
Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) grant program as the best fit to fund the desired
improvements for Chinook Wind. Current City policy requires approval by the appropriate
Committee before applying for grants.
FISCAL IMPACT
ALEA development project grants are capped at $500,000. There is a 50% match required for the
RCO ALEA grant. It is anticipated that the match will come from the $1,553,616 City of Tukwila
Conservation Futures grant that was awarded for Chinook Wind acquisition. The Futures funds
have been allocated to King County as they are currently the lead agency for Chinook Wind.
RECOMMENDATION
Committee approval is being asked for the submittal of the RCO grant application and other grant
opportunities that may become available for the Chinook Wind Project.
