B. Duwamish Gardens: Grant Agreement
Staff is seeking Council approval to enter into a grant agreement with King County Flood Control District
to be awarded $500,000 in grant funding for possible structure demolition, site construction, and a
Culture /Historic Investigation Plan related to the Duwamish Gardens site.
Application for this grant funding was originally made through King Conservation District (KCD) and the
Recreation and Conservation Office; however, KCD funding was put on hold due to an ongoing court case
regarding their property assessment. KCD in turn, asked the King County Flood Control District if they
would be able to provide grant funding for programs related to habitat and water quality. KCD agreed and
the grant funds will now be administered through the Flood Control District. There is no required City
match. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 5 CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Duwamish Gardens: Supplemental Agreement No. 1
Staff is seeking Council approval of Supplemental Agreement No. 1 with J.A. Brennan Associates for an
additional detailed site assessment of impacts to cultural resources (additional excavation) at the Duwamish
Gardens site in the amount of $91,341.80.
The Army Corps of Engineers is requiring this additional assessment for the area based on preliminary
cultural work which suggested the presence of organic material. Specifically, the supplemental agreement
will include excavation of 16 trenches that are three feet wide by six feet deep and variable lengths. The
grant funding from Item B above can be utilized to fund this additional work. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 13 COW.
