Public Works Department - Hari Ponnekanti, Director/City Engineer
Thomas McLeod, Mayor
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Services Committee
FROM: Hari Ponnekanti, Public Works Director
BY: Mike Perfetti, Surface Water Sr. Program Manger
CC: Kris Kelly, Parks and Recreation Manager
DATE: February 23rd, 2024
SUBJECT: Nelsen Side Channel No. 91641203 and Park Acquisition Project No. 91730103
Conservation Futures Tax (CFT) Program Grant Award
ISSUE
Authorize two amendments to the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement (ILA) between King County and the City
of Tukwila for Conservation Futures -funded Open Space Acquisition Projects that will 1) capture King County
policy -related changes to the 2019 ILA and 2) provide grant funding for two City projects.
BACKGROUND
The Nelsen Side Channel project will reconnect a remnant channel with the current realignment of the
Green River, create public access to the river, restore critically needed off -channel habitat for endangered
aquatic species, and provide additional flood storage capacity. Amendment #2 authorizes CFT funding to
acquire the adjacent 1.5-acre parcel, expanding the project area to more than 5 acres.
Amendment #2 also provides CFT funding to acquire two parcels adjacent to Duwamish Hill Preserve
(1023049072 and 3351400005) and expand the park by 0.35 acres. Acquisition of these properties is
depicted in the park master plan and will support open space goals and shoreline restoration work
associated with the current surface water CIP, Duwamish Hill Preserve Phase 3.
DISCUSSION
City staff have been in negotiations with the Nelsen Family Trust to purchase the subject property. With this
funding, the City will have obtained $180,000 in grant funding for property acquisition. The required match is
budgeted in the project CIP and funded through the Surface Water Utility Enterprise Fund.
This agreement also formalizes a grant that was co -awarded in 2022 to Forterra and the City for Duwamish
Hill Preserve. Since the time of application in 2021, the property sold was illegally cleared, used for
construction equipment and vehicle storage, and is now on the market again. Forterra is in the process of
obtaining an appraisal and is leading negotiations with the seller's agent.

CITY OF TUKWILA CAPITAL PROJECT SUMMARY
2023 to 2028
PROJECT: Park Acquisition Project No. 91730103
DESCRIPTION:
JUSTIFICATION:
STATUS:
MAINT. IMPACT:
COMMENT:
Acquisition of land to preserve open space or park land for future generations. Focus areas include Cascade \
There are recreational deserts within Tukwila, defined as areas more than a 10-minute walk from a quality
park. The City desires to provide equitable access to a quality park for all Tukwila residents and acquisition of
key properties is needed. Also, open spaces are continually being developed and need to be preserved for
future generations. To support new development within the city, and the increase of population associated
with development (housing, work, or leisure), additional recreational spaces need to be provided to support
those that live, work, and play in Tukwila.
2020 PROS Plan Identified 57th Ave South park, Tukwila Pond Park, P-17 Pond, and the Riverview Plaza
Riverfront as locations suitable for water access/public space improvements.
To be determined
Project is on Park Impact Fee list.

and initial site stabilization activities. Those costs include appraisals, title
searches, negotiations, administrative overhead, and the cost of actual acquisition
or purchase options, and all other costs meeting the requirements of K.C.C.
26.12.010. The City shall have the property valued by an appraisal performed by
an independent state -certified real estate appraiser with a current general real
estate appraiser license, and reviewed by an independent state -certified general
real estate appraiser unless otherwise provided in K.C.C. 26.12.010. In requesting
reimbursement of proceeds for the Project, the City shall demonstrate to the
County compliance with this Section 5.2. Proceeds utilized pursuant to this

County approves cash reimbursement, the City shall pay the County within 90
days of approval.
In all other respects, the terms, conditions, duties and obligations of both parties shall

Project Description:
Project #1139013 (Award #1141631): Forterra NW & Tukwila — Duwamish Hill Preserve
Addition #2 (2022 Allocation)
Forterra and the City of Tukwila are working in partnership to expand the 10.5-acre Duwamish
Hill Preserve. This project would add 0.36 acres to the southeastern part of the preserve. The
acquisition would protect the site from potential development near the preserve gateway, buffer
the preserve from adjacent residential uses, and allow for implementation of Phase III of the
master plan including expansion of the gateway area, revegetation, and restoration. This project
received a match waiver. As a partnership project, this funding is being included in both the
Forterra NW and Tukwila King County CFT Agreements. Project funding is approved in King
County Ordinance 19364.
Is this a Bond -financed Project? Yes
Project #1145699: Tukwila — Nelsen Side Channel Acquisition (2024 Allocation)
The City of Tukwila seeks to create rare off -channel rearing habitat on the Lower Green River
for juvenile salmon. The city will acquire a single 1.46-acre parcel and set back the levee to
reconnect the river with its historic remnant channel. The city intends to provide public shoreline
access here and expand signage and wayfinding to facilitate connections to the Green River and
Interurban Trails. Match will come from city funds or other grant funding. This award requires
match equal to 25% of total project costs, reflecting the new match policy implemented July
2023 and adopted in the prior amendment. Project funding was authorized in King County
Ordinance 19712.

FOR CONSERVATION FUTURES -FUNDED
OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION PROJECTS
THIS INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is a grant
agreement entered into between the CITY OF TUKWILA ("City") and KING COUNTY
("County").
Article I. Recitals
On February 27, 1989, the King County Council passed Ordinance 8867, which
established a process to allocate the proceeds of the Conservation Futures Fund.
On September 21, 1989, the King County Council passed Ordinance 9128, which
established a Conservation Futures Levy Fund to provide for the receipt and
disbursement of Conservation Futures tax levy proceeds and established conditions for
use of the Fund, including conditions covering allowable cost and expenses.
On July 21, 2003, the King County Council passed Ordinance 14714, authorizing
funding allocation procedures for King County Conservation Futures tax levy collections
and amending Ordinance 8867, Section 2, as amended.
The Conservation Futures Advisory Committee has recommended an allocation
of Conservation Futures proceeds to specific projects from the Conservation Futures
Levy Fund following notification to the cities that proceeds were available, provision of
an opportunity for the cities to respond and receipt by the committee of requests for
funding, all pursuant to Ordinance 8867, as amended by Ordinance 14714.

Starting in 1990 and through 2017, the King County Executive, as authorized by
the King County Council, executed Interlocal Cooperation Agreements for Conservation
Futures funded open space acquisition projects with the cities of Auburn, Bellevue, Black
Diamond, Bothell, Burien, Carnation, Covington, Des Moines, Duvall, Enumclaw,
Federal Way, Issaquah, Kenmore, Kent, Kirkland, Lake Forest Park, Mercer Island,
Milton, Newcastle, Normandy Park, North Bend, Pacific, Redmond, Renton,
Sammamish, Seattle, Shoreline, Snoqualmie and Tukwila, and Vashon Park District.
Many of these agreements were amended over time to add new projects.
Those existing Interlocal Cooperation Agreements remain in place with an
indefinite term for the projects for which Conservation Futures proceeds were disbursed.
The agreements require the properties to be maintained as open space in perpetuity.
The King County Council, by Ordinance 18978, has approved a new Interlocal
Cooperation Agreement template for future projects in order to add terms for the use of
bond proceeds for certain projects, achieve consistency between the agreement and the
King County Code, and make other technical changes.
Pursuant to chapter 39.34 RCW, the parties agree to the following:

space classification, or (c) any land meeting the definition of farms and agricultural
conservation under subsection (8) of RCW 84.34.020. As a condition of granting open
space classification, the legislative body may not require public access on land classified
under (b) (iii) of this subsection for the purpose of promoting conservation of wetlands.

chapter 26.12, and in strict conformance with the uses authorized under chapter 84.34
RCW.

certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Tax
Code"), including any implementing regulations and any administrative or judicial
interpretations. The City will comply with Tax Code requirements, including those set

out of, or in any way connected with any examination or audit of any Bond issued to
finance or refinance costs of any Bond -financed Project identified in Exhibit A as well as
Bond -financed Projects identified in subsequent amendments to this Agreement by the
Internal Revenue Service, or any determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a
court of competent jurisdiction that the interest on any such Bond is or should be subject
to federal income taxation; provided, however, that the City shall not be liable for any
payment made by the County with respect to any settlement of any such examination or
10
53

the Green River Trail to provide riverfront public access and restoration opportunity
along the Duwamish River. This site offers passive park opportunity, with trails and

this proposal to acquire 0.93-acre (parcel 0733000225) on the Duwamish River. The city
is returning this year to seek a match waiver and apply for the remaining $335,000 in
funding necessary to complete the project. This project was determined to be an
opportunity area project eligible for a match waiver (see Section 6.1 of the ILA), so the
local funding match requirement was waived for both the 2019 and the 2020 awards.
