The resolution will be incorporated into the BAFBRB application retroactively and the SRFB as part of the application. FISCAL IMPACT These RCO grants require a 15% match. The 15% match will be funded by King County Flood Control District and Cooperative Watershed Management grants awarded to the City and City CIP funds as needed.
