BACKGROUND The City acquired the Duwamish Gardens site in 2008 for future restoration as a salmon habitat site. The project is currently in the design phase and staff is in the process of clearing the site of all existing structures and securing construction funds. Staff applied for construction funding through the Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) and the King Conservation District (KCD). KCD initially planned on awarding this project $500,000 in construction funding, but then all KCD funding in 2012 was put on hold pending the outcome of a recent court case regarding their property assessment. The King County Flood District (Flood District) was approached by KCD to see if they could provide funding for programs related to habitat and water quality in 2012. The Flood District approved the original funding of $500,000 and the grant will now be administered by the Flood District. The grant requires no additional matching funds. ANALYSIS The Flood District grant includes $91,000 for a Cultural /Historic Investigation Plan that is an additional item that is being required by the Corps of Engineers during the design process. The remaining grant funding of $409,000 can be used for structure demolition and site construction. The total construction costs are estimated at $3,000,000.00 for this project and the remaining grant funding for construction has not yet been secured. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve a grant agreement with the King County Flood Control District for $500,000.00 for the Duwamish Gardens project and consider this item on the Consent Agenda of the November 5, 2012 Regular Meeting.

The Snoqualmie Watershed Forum is a partnership of elected officials, citizens and representatives from conservation organizations supporting salmon recovery and ecological health in the Snoqualmie and South Fork Skykomish Watersheds (spanning the King County portion of WRIA 7). Member governments include King County, the Snoqualmie Tribe, and the cities of Duvall, Carnation, North Bend and Snoqualmie. I would like to present the attached preliminary Forum funding recommendations for the 2012 Cooperative Watershed Management Grant (CWMG) Program funded through the King County Flood Control District. The projects and programs on the list have been vetted according to King County's CWMG Program rules and procedures. The recommended projects and programs have also been reviewed and prioritized by our local Project Review Committee for the Snoqualmie Watershed Forum's consideration and approval at their meeting on July 18. We will notify you of any changes to the recommendations based on discussion and decisions at this meeting. Through the 2012 CWMG Program, the Forum received $600,000 to allocate to high priority salmon recovery projects and programs. In this grant round, we received 20 proposals for a total request of over $1.3 million, resulting in approximately a $750,000 funding shortfall. Of the 20 proposals received, we recommend full or partial funding for nine proposals. Please note that the List includes a suite of alternate projects that would receive funds in the event that a project recommended for funding cannot be implemented. These grant funds help implement critical salmon recovery priorities called for in the Snohomish River Basin Salmon Conservation Plan, including habitat acquisition and restoration projects, watershed stewardship, and sustaining critical project related outreach activities to keep residents informed of our progress throughout the watershed. Many of our high priority salmon habitat acquisition and restoration projects also provide multiple benefits, including flood hazard management and landowner stewardship. As you know, our efforts in WRIA 7 are part of the overall regional effort to recover Puget Sound Chinook salmon, and we have been engaged with our partners in that effort �rrcOCt t �Si€ r� 'q t �XC1a trfmarritaJU�tttEtlrc #12 �rrriyror:tattrU 11 3 for over 12 years. These CWMG funds represent a crucial source of our habitat acquisition and restoration funding, and in these resource constrained times, they keep important salmon recovery projects moving forward.
