community. This pilot public -private partnership will restore shorelines at 14900 Interurban Ave
S (JSH site) and 17035 West Valley Hwy (NC Machinery/Harnish Group site).
DISCUSSION

opportunity called, "Re -Green the Green", which aims to aid salmon recovery by providing
shade and decreasing water temperatures.

recently awarded the requested amount of $50,000. The CWM grant contributes to the
construction budget and will be used for planting and two years of maintenance. There is no
City match for the CWM.
RECOMMENDATION
Council is being asked to accept the grant agreement for $50,000.00 with King County Flood
Control District through their Cooperative Watershed Management Program and consider this

B. Grant Acceptance: Green the Green Project
Staff is seeking Council approval of a grant agreement with King County Flood Control
District in the amount of $50,000 for the Green the Green Project described above. This
grant is through their Cooperative Watershed Management program and will be used for
planting and two years of maintenance. There is no City match. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO AUGUST 20, 2018 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Bid Award: 2018 Annual Small Drainage Program
Staff is seeking Council approval to award a contract to Ceccanti, Inc. in the amount of
$543,836.40 for construction of the 2018 Annual Small Drainage Program. This program is to
construct drainage projects that are too large for staff but smaller than a capital improvement
project. Projects originate from resident complaints and staff recommendations, then
prioritized based on need, cost, permitting, and time. Maintenance staff maintains the list,
which usually includes about 35 projects. The Committee asked to have more awareness of
the Small Drainage Program's list and the status of projects. Councilmember Quinn pointed
out that Councilmembers hear from constituents on issues like this quite frequently,
Councilmember Idan noted that staff and Council should work together as a team. Staff
agreed to brief the Committee on the list of potential projects prior to the design stage.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO AUGUST 20, 2018 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
D. King County Metro Community Connections Project
Staff briefed the Committee on King County Metro's Community Connections project, which
brings mobility services to areas that lack the infrastructure, density or land use to support
traditional bus service. Many areas in Tukwila are not well -served by local transit
connections, like Allentown and Ryan Hill. The first step in the process is outreach, which will
include city-wide surveys and convening of a resident stakeholder group. Councilmember
Quinn suggested reaching out to the Allentown/Duwamish residential community. Chair
McLeod asked about the purpose of a study since there is obvious need in certain areas. Staff
replied that Metro needs specific data on actual demand for certain services, like a shuttle.
Councilmember Idan said the City shouldn't rely on surveys but to actually go to the different
communities. He also questioned why Metro is asking applicants about gender, ethnicity and
age. Staff will verify with Metro but believes the demographic information will help to ensure
the stakeholder group includes a broad spectrum of viewpoints. Councilmember Quinn also
pointed out that demographic information can help to leverage federal funding. DISCUSSION
ONLY.
