INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Services & Safety Committee
FROM: David Rosen, Parks & Recreation Fiscal Analyst
DATE: April 12, 2023
SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement with Washington State Dept. of Ecology at Foster Golf Links
ISSUE
An interlocal agreement has been proposed by the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) to
install and maintain a stream gauge structure for Ecology on city property located at 13500 Interurban
Ave S, otherwise known as Foster Golf Links.
Per council policy, interlocal agreements, regardless of monetary amounts concerned, must be
approved by the full City Council before the Mayor may sign and execute them.
BACKGROUND
In late March of this year Tukwila Parks and Recreation was approached by Mr. Sean Struder,
Hydrogeologist 2 for the Freshwater Monitoring Unit within the Washington State Department of
Ecology. Mr. Welles indicated he was taking over the efforts to get a proposed monitoring station setup
at Foster Golf Links from a colleague of his who was moving to a different project within his department.
We received the standard agreement from DOE, had it reviewed and revised by our City Attorney
Office, returned said revised copy to DOE and had it signed by Mr. Struder’s supervisor, Stacy
Polkowske, Western Operations Section Manager for DOE’s Environmental Assessment Program. At
this time we are ready to fully execute the contract and allow DOE access to the premises for
installation of their equipment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This interlocal agreement is for cooperation only and does not create and inflows or outflows of any city
funds. Financial impact is therefore zero.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the committee forward the attached contract for approval on the Regular Meeting
Consent Agenda on May 1, 2023.
