INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM

FROM: David Rosen, Parks & Recreation Fiscal Analyst
DATE: January 27, 2025
SUBJECT: Grant Agreement & Contracts for Services Approval:
2024 WA Department of Natural Resources Community Forestry Assistance Grant
ISSUE
The Tukwila Parks & Recreation Department has been awarded a $312,000 no -match grant through
the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) 2024 Community Forestry Assistance
Grant for the Green Tukwila Restoration and Education Project. Acceptance of this grant and approval
of three (3) contracts to be awarded using its funds requires council approval before they may be
executed by the Mayor.
BACKGROUND
The 2024 Community Forestry Assistance Grant
In late 2023, the Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department was made aware of the DNR's release of
its latest funding opportunity for their Community Forestry Assistance Grants, which provided with the
purpose of "Support[ing] local jurisdictions in implementing improvements to urban tree health,
enhanced protections for urban trees, increases in canopy cover, and equitable delivery of tree
ecosystem services in communities across Washington State". Tukwila Parks and Recreation
submitted its proposal for this funding on January 8th, 2024, was awarded funding on February 28th,
2024, and has since been in negotiations with DNR concerning contracting terms. Additionally, there
were delays in these negotiations due to the volume of contracts and funding DNR had to
operationalize via this funding round.
Why This Work is Necessary
As a part of this grant release, DNR released the Urban & Community Forestry Prioritization Tool,
which ranked all 1,447 measured census tracts in the state in areas such as canopy cover, impervious
cover, and salmon buffer. The four parks that would receive work via this project proposal, Riverton,
Tukwila, Duwamish Hill Preserve, and Crystal Springs, are located within Census Tracts 53033027200,
53033026200, 53033026300, and 53033028200, which are ranked 8th, 9th, 16th, and 107th by this tool,
with all tracts receiving a 10 out of 10 Environmental Health Disparity score via the Washington State
Department of Health Environmental Health Disparities Map. Furthermore, all of these parks had areas
identified by the Green Tukwila 20-Year Stewardship Plan (Adopted in March 2017 via Resolution
1906) as having at least medium levels of invasive species cover endangering current habitat
composition. Environmentally, this grant will address some areas within Tukwila that have some of the
greatest demonstrated need for forestry restoration and maintenance.
Lastly, Tukwila's economic characteristics demonstrate a clear need for job development opportunities
and training, evidenced by 30% of Tukwila households reporting income equal to or lower than 200% of
Federal Poverty Level (7th worst of 61 areas measured by the King County City Health Profile Report).
Economically, this grant will provide opportunities for youth, immigrants, adults, and refugees across
Tukwila and the entire South King County region.

DISCUSSION
The grant funding will be used for the Green Tukwila Restoration and Education Project, which will
provide approximately 5,150 hours of restoration work across four City of Tukwila park sites, train over
100 adults and 100 youth in restoration jobs, and provide those community members wages and/or
stipends of over $100,000 in across the grant's period of performance.
The Green Tukwila Restoration and Education Project will be delivered via four programs:
1. Youth Green Training Program at Tukwila Park ($76,100)
This program will be provided in coordination with Partner in Employment (PIE), a 501(c)3 non-
profit organization with the mission of guaranteeing long-term economic stability for refugees and
immigrants in King County. PIE accomplished this by servicing thousands of individuals and
households with employment assistance, homelessness prevention, social services, ESL classes,
and youth services. PIE has been working with the City of Tukwila in its parks since 2019 as a part
of their Environmental Restoration and Refugee Youth Mentoring Programs. Tukwila Parks and
Recreation is proud to employ an alumnus of PIE's 2021 Youth Restoration Training cohort
amongst its parks maintenance team. This program will provide youth approximately 2,000 paid
hours for green jobs as they provide trained restoration work at Tukwila Park with about 57% of the
program's budget providing the wages for these youth. The remaining program budget is committed
for supplies, PIE programming managers and crew leads, and necessary equipment.
2. Professional Restoration Work at Riverton Park ($90,100)
This program will be provided in coordination with EarthCorps, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization
whose mission is to cultivate leaders and community partnerships in the advancement of
environmental justice. EarthCorps Strategic Plan aims to accomplish this through, among other
initiatives, in -the -field environmental restoration, creation of multi -year community -led partnerships
and volunteer programs, and training future environmental leaders. This program will allow
EarthCorps to continue their already successful restoration efforts at Riverton Park through at least
June of 2027, providing approximately 20,000 square feet (-0.46 acres) of invasive species
removal onsite, planting of 2,300 native plants, and continued maintenance of the restoration sites.
This work will be accomplished utilizing EarthCorps skilled professional crews providing a planned
26 days of work in the park.
3. Green Jobs Training Program at Crystal Springs Park ($100,050)
This program will be provided in coordination with DirtCorps, an LLC with a mission of creating
access to green careers for all who aims to accomplish this by providing on-the-job training for adult
workers in rain garden and cistern design/build, operations and maintenance, vegetation
management, and ecological restoration. Dirt Corps has been working in Crystal Springs Park and
in other capacities within Tukwila since 2016. The Green Jobs Training Program would pay local
community members to provide tree canopy enhancement and reforestation efforts at Tukwila Park
with the goal of removing invasive plants on site and replacing them with approximately 70 trees
and 200 native shrubs and undercovers.
4. Foster High School Internship at Duwamish Hill Preserve ($45,750)
In coordination with Foster High School staff, this program will provide approximately 25 students
per year (75 in total across the grant's lifetime) with a paid opportunity to participate in a restoration
education and work skills program, providing them with on-the-job training, employment skills, and
personal development opportunities as they complete restoration work at the Duwamish Hill
Preserve. Over 90% of this program's budget will pay for these student interns with the remaining
budget providing supplies necessary for program execution. Throughout this program's operation,

the Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department will also be working with the Tukwila Children's
Foundation, who will provide necessary program logistics to support payment of the student interns.
This program's budget and contracted services are small enough that any resultant contracts will
not require council approval.

A Note on Federal Spending
At time of this memo's writing (January 27th- 30t"), city staff have been made aware of Memo M-25-13
and M-25-14 issued by the federal government's Office of Management and Budget seemingly putting
a temporary pause/"freeze" on "all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial
assistance..." and seemingly rescinding the memo enacting said pause/"freeze". City staff note that the
funding source for DNR to provide this grant opportunity is federal in nature and have inquired with
DNR as to the potential for funding be frozen for this grant. The current understanding is that the
monies used for this grant have already been obligated by the federal government and thus, according
to precedent, are safe to utilize. However, the final impact of Memos M-25-13 and M-25-14 on this
grant are unknown and may remain unknown pending potential injunction and/or litigation. City staff will
continue to monitor these potential impacts as they unfold.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This is a reimbursement grant, wherein the City of Tukwila will receive reimbursement from DNR
during/after the completion of the proposed scope of work. Therefore, execution of both the proposed
grant and contract services agreements will not create any net general fund inflows or outflows. The
Tukwila Parks & Recreation Department will propose end -of -year budget amendments for Fiscal Years
2025 - 2027 to capture the transactions resulting from this grant agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommend the Community Services and Safety Committee forward both the grant
agreement and the proposed contracts for services to the February 24th Special Meeting Consent
Agenda for final approval.

Overview: Purpose & Goals
The Green Tukwila Restoration & Education project is humbly presented with the aim of
maximizing strategic investment in Tukwila's natural environment while providing vulnerable
populations with opportunities for job training and development through partners. The project
aims to save as much tree canopy in invasive areas as possible while providing on-the-job
training to community members in need.
Scope of Activities
The Green Tukwila Restoration and Education project would provide for restoration and
stewardship activities in Tukwila, Riverton, and Crystal Springs parks and Duwamish Hill
Preserve. Said work would be accomplished through professional crews, adult training programs,
a high school internship program, and youth refugee/immigrant training programs. All activities
on site would focus on the preservation and stabilization of the current tree canopy/inventory
through the removal of invasives, installation of tree survival rings and herbicides, and planting
of secondary forest to replace the removed invasive species.

Subject: Status Update on DNR Grant Agreement, Federal Funding
Community Forestry Assistance Grant Partners,
As you know, we have not yet executed an agreement for your Community Forestry Assistance grant funded with
federal Inflation Reduction Act dollars. There have been many headlines in recent news on the uncertainty of
federal funding. Below, you will find the Commissioner of Public Lands (CPL) message to partners with executed
agreements funded by federal dollars:
Partners,
I wanted to touch base about the federal funding freeze and what it means for grants you receive that flow
through the Washington Department of Natural Resources. The federal grants impacted that we administer
and have not been able to access are from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). We are doing all we can to track down information, but the simple fact is we
are receiving no guidance or notification from the federal government.
I do want to reassure you, however, that we are doing all we can to assess the potential impacts to your
grants. Since this freeze was first announced, we have been working with Washington's Attorney General,
Congressional delegation, and other state agencies to fight for these Congressionally -authorized funds.
The information we are receiving continues to change. We will continue to share any significant
developments with you as we become aware of them through your grant managers. I'm committed to
leading with transparency and communication. Please reach out to your grant managers with any
questions.
Best,
Dave Upthegrove
Commissioner of Public Lands
DNR is honoring all executed agreements funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act or Inflation
Reduction Act, and assuming a financial risk while the federal government is holding payment on
reimbursements.
For our partner organizations like yours, where we have not yet executed an agreement dependent on these
federal funds, we will complete every step to finalize agreements but we will not be signing and executing them
until we have greater certainty that funding is stable. We recognize that some of you have completed all of the prep
work for an agreement with us, save for a few administrative steps including final signatures. Unfortunately, these
draft agreements will remain unexecuted until we have greater assurances on federal funding.
You and your organization may need to make difficult decisions on whether to continue working with us or pause
your efforts. We will support you no matter what you decide. Once we can execute your agreement, we may have
1
114
the option of extending your project timelines into the first half of 2028 to help mitigate these delays on the front
end.
We appreciate your patience and ongoing collaboration on this challenging issue. In the spirit of moving forward,
our Financial Assistance Planner, Scott Chambers, and I will continue to review draft documents and correspond
with you as needed to prepare your agreement for signature.
If you have any follow-up questions, please reach out to Scott or me.
