INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Community and Parks Committee
FROM: Bob Giberson, Public Works Director
By: Ryan Larson, Senior Engineer
DATE: October 19, 2012
SUBJECT: Duwamish Gardens
Project No. 06 -DR02
Grant Agreement King County Flood Control District
ISSUE
Authorize the Mayor to sign a grant agreement with the King County Flood District.
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.

RE: Cooperative Watershed Management Grant Proposals
We are pleased to convey to the King County Flood Control District Executive Committee
twenty -five Cooperative Watershed Management Grants projects for your approval. There
were 45 proposals submitted for a total of $4,750,182 for a maximum outlay of $3,000,000. A
list is attached as well as cover letter from the Chairs or representatives of the Snoqualmie
Forum and the WRIA 8 and 9 Forums. The proposed projects have been vetted by review
teams according to a review process that selects proposals on the basis of individual watershed
salmon conservation plan priorities and project merit.
Materials for the Flood Control District Executive Committee meeting are sent a week prior to
the meeting. However, the Snoqualmie Forum and the WRIA 8 Forum will officially approve
the projects respectively on July 18 and 19 The WRIA 9 Forum list is official except for
two recently substituted projects that will be presented for formal recommendation at its
August meeting.
We have read each proposal and verified the documentation in support of its selection. The
proposals -all follow the eligibility guidelines and meet or exceed the selection criteria. The
record indicates that each proposal has been evaluated by a review team in an equitable and
transparent manner according to the review methodology set forth by each Forum. We have
found no objections to any of the proposals on this list or to their review.
After the proposals have been approved by the Board of Supervisors, we will develop an
agreement with each recipient that includes measurable outcomes and deliverables tied to a
detailed scope of work and budget. We will track project progress and pay recipients based on
their performance and documented expenses.
We are looking forward to your endorsement of the list of proposals for the Snoqualmie Forum,
the WRIA 8 Forum and the WRIA 9 Forum. Meanwhile, should you have any questions
concerning any of these proposals, please feel free to contact me at 206 -296 -6587. Thank you.

RE: Snoqualmie Watershed Forum Preliminary Funding Recommendations
for Cooperative Watershed Management Grants
Dear Chair Patterson,
On behalf of Snoqualmie Watershed Forum, I would like to express my gratitude to the
King County Flood Control District for deciding to support the important regional salmon
recovery work. 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. If you have any questions, please
contact Perry Falcone, Snoqualmie Watershed Forum Project Coordinator, at (206) 296-
1940.

RE: Water Resource Inventory Area 9 Forum of Local Governments
Funding Recommendations for Cooperative Watershed Management Grants
Dear Chair Patterson,
The Green /Duwamish and Central Puget Sound (WRIA 9) Watershed Ecosystem
Forum (Forum) greatly appreciates the Flood Control District's funding support of
high priority salmon recovery projects and programs. The Forum approved the
attached list of funding recommendations for the 2012 Cooperative Watershed
Management Grant Program at their May 9, 2012 meeting. The list includes funding
for projects that have been selected through a science based, prioritized, project list,
and education /support programs which are annually funded to maintain program
continuity.
The WRIA 9 allocation of $1.2 million will contribute towards finding the
construction of two large restoration projects, the Fenster Levee Setback project in
Auburn and Duwamish Gardens Estuarine Construction in Tukwila, revegetation
along the Duwamish River, support for community based restoration projects by non-
profit organizations, environmental education, and monitoring of water quality and
Chinook population status. The Cooperative Watershed Management Grant Program
is critical for matching $1,060,255 in other grant funds towards these projects and
programs.
The projects and programs proposed for funding are included as habitat strategic
Initiatives as outlined in the draft Puget Sound Action Agenda. The Action Agenda
prioritizes cleanup and improvement projects, coordinates federal, state, local, tribal
and private resources, and ensures cooperative ecosystem efforts in Puget Sound.
We would be pleased to provide background documents related to the development of
the project list, proposals and funding recommendations upon request.

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.

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
