BACKGROUND As identified in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in 2012 on page 46 and in the 2013 CIP on page 48, the Duwamish Hill Preserve (DHP) is the highest priority capital project for the Parks and Recreation Department. In February of 2012 staff presented information regarding a grant application to the King Conservation District (KCD) in the amount of $50,000. The grant was awarded for acquisition of the 'West Parcel' located adjacent to Duwamish Hill Preserve. Due to legal issues the KCD was experiencing, funding for grant programs was delayed. The City moved forward with the purchase of the "West Parcel" property without funds from this grant. Once the legal issues were resolved, staff requested the funds for acquisition be utilized for development. The District agreed; therefore, the original grant for acquisition can now be utilized for development. DISCUSSION The original grant from King Conservation District was for $50,000 and for use towards the acquisition of the "West Parcel" at Duwamish Hill Preserve. As the parcel was purchased without KCD grant funding, staff requested the funds be allocated towards development and KCD agreed. Full Council approval is required to accept the grant for this project, per the City's Capital Improvement Program. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Agreement for Award of King Conservation District Member Jurisdiction Grant and accept the $50,000 for further development of the Duwamish Hill Preserve and forward this item to the January 22, 2013 Consent Agenda.

Project Description - provide a brief description of the project that summarizes what you will do, how you will do it, and why you will do it. Consider the following in the answer to this question: what pressing need will be addressed by the project or what promising opportunity will be capitalized on? Who or what will benefit or be positively and negatively affected? The City of Tukwila requests $50,000 from the King Conservation District to support acquisition of a 1.75 acre parcel on the west side of the Duwamish Hill Preserve (King County parcel #1023049085, hereafter "West Parcel "), located at 3800 5 115th Street in Tukwila, so this parcel can be added to the Preserve property. The cost of the parcel to be acquired is anticipated to be $1,125,000, toward which we have secured $1,050,000 ($750,000 in City of Tukwila funds, a grant of $250,000 from the King County Conservation Futures Program, and a grant of $50,000 from 4Culture). Additional costs totaling $40,000 are itemized in the project budget bring the total project budget to $1,165,100. The Duwamish Hill Preserve property currently under City of Tukwila ownership is an 8.6 acre parcel on the Duwamish River. This property includes a 40 million year old outcropping of bedrock that is part of what is known as the "Tukwila Formation ", unique native plant communities, territorial views, and a flat area with 600 feet of shoreline on the Duwamish River at the farthest point up river that is reached by the tides. Culturally significant for its association with Southern Puget Sound Salish oral tradition and mythology, the Preserve is a key location in the stories known as the "Epic of the Winds." Working with Forterra (formerly Cascade Land Conservancy), the City of Tukwila raised $998,000 to acquire and preserve the 8.6 acre parcel in 2004, including two grants totaling $15,000 from KCD (the project was then known as "Grandmother's Hill "). Since 2005, Forterra and the City collaboratively raised an additional $825,000 for Phase 1 restoration activities on the upland portion of the property. Phase 1 of the project opened to the public with a community celebration in 2010, following completion of trails, viewpoints, an outdoor classroom area, and extensive environmental restoration. Hundreds of community volunteers have contributed to the project through removal of trash and invasive species, and planting and monitoring of native plants in three distinct habitat areas, and the first school field trips to the Preserve took place in 2010. Member Jurisdiction & WRIA Forum Grant Program, Application • July 21, 2008 • Page 1 of 5 59 Acquisition of the West Parcel is a high priority for the City of Tukwila, the parcel's current owner is a willing seller, and negotiations regarding a purchase and sale agreement are underway. The West Parcel is presently zoned industrial and used for storage of construction equipment. Acquisition of the West Parcel will link the Preserve directly to a proposed regional trail, and will make it possible to establish a forested visual buffer between the Preserve and the industrial properties beyond the trail corridor to the west. When the Duwamish Hill Preserve Master Plan was developed in 2007, the West Parcel was included in the community's vision for Phase II of what the Preserve could become, as a regional cultural and natural resource. Acquisition of the West Parcel will double the size of the Phase II restoration area, allowing a richer and more meaningful restoration project, from a cultural, habitat and recreational perspective. Phase II will include a permanent exhibit of native plants selected in collaboration with the Muckleshoot and Duwamish Tribes and the Northwest Native American Basket Weavers Association, including species useable for basket making, preparation of traditional foods, and other cultural purposes. We hope to re- establish and make accessible a variety of species with traditional cultural uses, which may include wapato (arrowhead plant), swamp tea, wild cranberries, tules (bulrush), slough sedge and other species. Outdoor interpretive panels will include traditional use information that is appropriate to share with the public. 2. Natural Resource Improvement Actions - describe how the project will address a minimum of one of the natural resource improvement actions described on page 1 of the application instructions. Consider the following in your answer to this question: What natural resources will be improved? What are the known needs, gaps or deficits that will be addressed? What are the known benefits to soil, water, air, plants, fish and wildlife, landowners? Acquisition of the West Parcel, and subsequent restoration of this property, will address all four of the natural resource improvement actions described in the application instructions. Education & Outreach: Through school field trips, volunteer work parties, and drop -in visits, youth and adults will learn about and participate in restoration work at the Duwamish Hill Preserve, with an emphasis on removal of invasive species and planting of native species with a goal toward salmon - friendly habitat improvement. Capacity Building: The City of Tukwila was pleased to host a public education workshop in 2011 in conjunction with Stewardship Partners, focused on installation of a bog garden as part of Phase I restoration at Duwamish Hill Preserve, and we anticipate hosting similar events during Phase II, following acquisition of the West Parcel. We are also pleased to provide training to our community volunteers, in partnership with the Friends of the Hill neighbors group, regarding best management practices and stewardship activities. Pilot and Demonstration Projects: Because the Preserve is open to the public, and the acquisition of the West Parcel will expand the boundaries of the Preserve, we have an outstanding opportunity to demonstrate the positive impacts of project activities on water quality and habitat value, which is especially important in transforming public attitudes regarding the recovery of the Duwamish River as a natural and recreational resource. Direct Improvements: Acquisition of the West Parcel will allow us to convert 1.75 acres adjacent to the Duwamish River from industrial use to conservation and open space land. Unsightly construction equipment stored by the seller will be removed. We will be able to clean up any residual contamination, remove invasive plants, and establish native plant communities including areas reflecting traditional ethnobotanical knowledge of area Tribes.

Project Activities and Measurable Results — using the table below, list specific project activities to be completed, the timetable for the activities, and the deliverables associated with those activities. Consider the following in your answer to this question: What actions, interventions, programs, services will be deployed? 4. Effectiveness (see page 2 of application instructions for definition) — describe how the project will effectively implement the natural resource improvement measures identified in question No. 2 above. Consider the following in your answer to this question: Why is the primary applicant the best entity to deliver the proposed program /service/ intervention? What is the capacity of the primary applicant to deliver the proposed program /service /intervention? What tools, services and partners will be brought to bear? The City of Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department has been an effective leader in preserving and restoring the Duwamish Hill Preserve, working with partner organizations and community members. Our record of success with Phase I of the project included an education and outreach component, capacity building, successful pilot projects, and direct improvements. For example, we have established a partnership with the Tukwila School District, and have hosted field trips of 2nd, 3rd and 7th grade classes where students participated in hands -on restoration activities, and learned to identify and classify native and invasive plants on site. We also sponsored a teacher training workshop in 2011 open to all Tukwila School District teachers, focused on environmental and cultural education opportunities at the Duwamish Hill Preserve. Our regularly scheduled volunteer work parties draw dozens of neighbors, and major events such as Duwamish Alive draw over one hundred volunteers to participate in large -scale projects. Visitors will be able to learn about restoration activities through interpretive materials (in development) focusing not just on the Preserve but also on the Green Duwamish Watershed as a whole, emphasizing the importance of coordinated efforts and offering suggestions for what individual land owners can do and how other residents can contribute to environmental recovery and sustainability. As the fee owner of the Duwamish Hill Preserve, the City of Tukwila is best positioned to acquire, restore and manage the adjacent West Parcel, which we propose to do in partnership with Forterra, Friends of the Hill, and other organizations devoted to environmental restoration and education in the area.

Efficiency (see page 2 of application instructions for definition) - describe how the project will efficiently implement the natural resource improvement measures identified in question No. 2 above. Consider the following in your answer to this question: How will the proposed program /service/ intervention engage in conjunction with related efforts? How does your strategy best leverage resources? The proposed acquisition of the West Parcel will leverage the City of Tukwila's commitment of $750,000 in Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) funds with additional contributions from 4Culture, the Conservation Futures Program of King County, and our current request to KCD for use of Jurisdictional Funds. Beyond the acquisition, this investment of public funds will leverage extensive volunteer involvement in the project, totaling hundreds of hours of in- kind labor each year from the Friends of the Hill, as well as private tax exempt contributions from individual donors through Forterra. The City of Tukwila and Forterra have been working together for over a decade on the Duwamish Hill Preserve project, and we are able to efficiently identify and prioritize tasks related to fund raising, planning and project management. Our management team for the project includes representatives from multiple city departments, Forterra, and key citizen advisors and consultants. 6. Equity (see page 2 of application instructions for definition) — describe how the project will equitably implement the natural resource improvement measures identified in question No. 2 above. Consider the following in your answer to this question: In what part of the District will the proposed program /service /intervention occur? Who is the target audience and what demographic section of the community will be affected? As a public conservation property, the Duwamish Hill Preserve serves the ethnically diverse, working class community of Tukwila, where 74% of the students in the school district qualify for free or reduced -price meals. The school district population includes 35% transitional bilingual speakers, an indication of the high proportion of the population who are recent immigrants. This area also had the largest concentration of pre- contact Native American winter villages in all of King County, surrounding the former confluence of the Black River and the Green River which formed the Duwamish River. Natural resource improvement actions at this site involve diverse community members, and interpretation of cultural heritage provides an opportunity to connect Tukwila's current residents to its past, through traditional stories, place names, and environmental awareness. 7. Evaluation of Intended Results — describe the evaluation mechanisms you will use to track, document, and report that the project has achieved the intended results described in questions 1- 3. Successful completion of this project will be celebrated when ownership of the West Parcel is transferred to the City of Tukwila, and when the boundary of the Duwamish Hill Preserve is expanded to include this parcel. The West Parcel will be included in planning and design development for the Preserve's Phase II restoration (described in #1 above), which will improve habitat value and water quality in this critical area of the Duwamish River. The City of Tukwila and Forterra collaborated on acquisition of the original Preserve property, and we anticipate being able to efficiently replicate that successful process during this new acquisition effort, including appropriate legal and documentation work. In addition, the stewardship easement which Forterra holds on the original 8.6 acres of the Preserve will be expanded to include the West Parcel. We also look forward to future efforts to develop a comprehensive shoreline restoration project extending from the Duwamish Hill Preserve to the downstream Duwamish Gardens property.

Current conditions on the West Parcel include storage of unsightly construction equipment along the Preserve boundary. This equipment will be removed prior to acquisition. 69 it Seattle ht.e Duwamish Hill Preserve opens after years of volunteer effort By Christine Willmsen Seattle Times staff reporter Saturday, September 18, 2010 The rocky hilltop near the Duwamish River speaks. It tells the story from the Duwamish and Muckleshoot tribes about the battle between the north and south winds. Now the hill has a new story of how a community came together to save this piece of land. Volunteers, community leaders and area neighbors welcomed the public to Saturday's opening of the Duwamish Hill Preserve in Tukwila. A 10 -year project saved this sacred hill from becoming just another industrial site along south 115th Street, off East Marginal Way South. Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe member Roger Fernandes tells the story of when clams had feet during the After climbing 80 steps up the hill, you can look down and Duwamish Hill Preserve opening celebration Saturday. imagine the fishing villages that once hugged the Duwamish River. Now, the industrialized world surrounds the hill. In one direction is the Seattle skyline. In another, a trail of cars lines Highway 509. Airplanes roar overhead, light rail sends out high -pitch whines and semi - trucks thunder past. The eight acres is the site of many Native American stories and also a place full of geological wonders. The site, estimated to be 40 million years old, is a rocky, bald habitat with thin soil similar to that covering the San Juan Islands. "You just don't see a hill in a river valley," said Hayes Swinney, land stewardship director for Cascade Land Conservancy which helped obtain the property. "This hill is older than Mount Rainier. There are marine fossils. This, at one point, was underwater." In 2000, the hill was going to be blasted apart by dynamite and developed into an industrial area, much like the properties surrounding it. But the community and Cascade Land Conservancy raised about $1 million through donations, contributions and grants for the city of Tukwila to purchase the land. Even theater students at Foster High School got involved in preserving the site. In 2002, they wrote and performed a play about the hill and how it had transformed over the decades. They donated $1,200 in ticket sales, said Cynthia Chesak, the theater teacher and a Tukwila arts commissioner. "For me, it's a landmark — It's a cultural site," she said. "You can't divorce the Native American site from Tukwila." By 2006, volunteers started clearing the land, but with decades of neglect, the property needed help. Stacy Cachules, manager of volunteer programs for the Cascade Land Conservancy, organized efforts to clear blackberry bushes, ivy and trash. "It started as an uphill process," she said. "It was such a mess, but the volunteers kept coming." On the weekends, a few volunteers who called themselves "Friends of the Hill" would cut away brush and haul away trash, tires, metal scrap and old cars. Others dug into the rocky earth and put native plantings along the path. Soon benches, trails and a storytelling area were built. Last year, dozens of people volunteered more than 2,000 hours. "You have to have knowledge of the past to help shape our future," said Tukwila council member Joan Hernandez.

Consider the following in the answer to this question: what pressing need will be addressed by the project or what promising opportunity will be capitalized on? Who or what will benefit or be positively and negatively affected? The City of Tukwila requests $50,000 from the King Conservation District to support Phase II restoration of the Duwamish Hill Preserve, located at 3800 S 115th Street in Tukwila. The Preserve was expanded from 8.6 to 10.5 acres on August 23, 2012 with the acquisition of an adjacent riverfront parcel to the west, for $1,050,000. Acquisition funds came from the City of Tukwila, King County Conservation Futures and 4Culture. Early in 2012, the City of Tukwila had requested $50,000 in King Conservation District jurisdictional funding to support a portion of this acquisition. However, with the delay in distribution of KCD 2012 funds, we were able to reallocate other grant funds for design and planning to complete the acquisition. We are now working to secure funds for Phase II restoration. This revised application for KCD jurisdictional funding requests $50,000 to support a portion of the design and planning costs associated with Phase II restoration. Specifically, KCD funds are requested for contracted professional services for landscape architecture design, soil testing, topographical survey and restoration preparation work. This work will allow us to move forward with the Phase II restoration activities described below. The Duwamish Hill Preserve includes a 40 million year old outcropping of bedrock that is part of what is known as the "Tukwila Formation ", unique native plant communities, territorial views, and a flat area with 600 feet of shoreline on the Duwamish River at the farthest point up river that is reached by the tides. Culturally significant for its association with Southern Puget Sound Salish oral tradition and mythology, the Preserve is a key location in the stories known as the "Epic of the Winds." Working with Forterra (formerly Cascade Land Conservancy), the City of Tukwila raised $998,000 to acquire and preserve the 8.6 acre parcel in 2004, including two grants totaling $15,000 from KCD (the project was then known as "Grandmother's Hill "). Since 2005, Forterra and the City collaboratively raised an additional $825,000 for Phase I restoration activities on the upland portion of the property. Phase 1 of the project opened to the public with a community celebration in 2010, following completion of trails, viewpoints, an outdoor Member Jurisdiction & WRIA Forum Grant Program, Application • July 21, 2008 • Page 1 of 5 77 classroom area, and extensive environmental restoration. Hundreds of community volunteers have contributed to the project through removal of trash and invasive species, and planting and monitoring of native plants in three distinct habitat areas. The first school field trips to the Preserve took place in 2010. The Duwamish Hill Preserve Master Plan developed in 2007 included the community's vision for Phase II of what the Preserve could become, as a regional cultural and natural resource. Acquisition of the West Parcel doubles the size of the Phase II restoration area, allowing a richer and more meaningful restoration project, from a cultural, habitat and recreational perspective. Phase II will include a permanent exhibit of native plants selected in collaboration with the Muckleshoot and Duwamish Tribes and the Northwest Native American Basket Weavers Association, including species useable for basket making, preparation of traditional foods, and other cultural purposes. We hope to re- establish and make accessible a variety of species with traditional cultural uses, which may include wapato ( "Indian potato" or arrowhead plant), swamp tea, wild cranberries, tules (bulrush), slough sedge and other species. Outdoor interpretive panels will include traditional use information that is appropriate to share with the public. 2. Natural Resource Improvement Actions - describe how the project will address a minimum of one of the natural resource improvement actions described on page 1 of the application instructions. Consider the following in your answer to this question: What natural resources will be improved? What are the known needs, gaps or deficits that will be addressed? What are the known benefits to soil, water, air, plants, fish and wildlife, landowners? Phase II restoration, including the recently acquired West Parcel, will address all four of the natural resource improvement actions described in the application instructions. Education & Outreach: Through school field trips, volunteer work parties, and drop -in visits, youth and adults will learn about and participate in restoration work at the Duwamish Hill Preserve, with an emphasis on removal of invasive species and planting of native species with a goal toward salmon - friendly habitat improvement. Capacity Building: The City of Tukwila was pleased to host a public education workshop in 2011 in conjunction with Stewardship Partners, focused on installation of a bog garden as part of Phase I restoration at Duwamish Hill Preserve, and we anticipate hosting similar events during Phase II. We are also pleased to provide training to our community volunteers, in partnership with the Friends of the Hill neighbors group, regarding best management practices and stewardship activities. Pilot and Demonstration Projects: Because the Preserve is open to the public, and the acquisition of the West Parcel expanded the boundaries of the Preserve, we have an outstanding opportunity to demonstrate the positive impacts of project activities on water quality and habitat value, which is especially important in transforming public attitudes regarding the recovery of the Duwamish River as a natural and recreational resource. Direct Improvements: Much of the Phase II project area has been used to store construction equipment, so we will be demonstrating that it is possible to convert former industrial land to conservation and open space land, re- establishing valuable habitat through reintroduction of native plants and restoration of hydrological function through reconnection with adjacent wetlands. Unsightly construction equipment stored by the former owner of the West Parcel will be removed. We will be able to clean up any residual contamination, remove invasive plants, and establish native plant communities including areas reflecting traditional ethnobotanical knowledge of area Tribes.

Project Activities and Measurable Results - using the table below, list specific project activities to be completed, the timetable for the activities, and the deliverables associated with those activities. Consider the following in your answer to this question: What actions, interventions, programs, services will be deployed? 4. Effectiveness (see page 2 of application instructions for definition) - describe how the project will effectively implement the natural resource improvement measures identified in question No. 2 above. Consider the following in your answer to this question: Why is the primary applicant the best entity to deliver the proposed program /service/ intervention? What is the capacity of the primary applicant to deliver the proposed program /service /intervention? What tools, services and partners will be brought to bear? The City of Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department has been an effective leader in preserving and restoring the Duwamish Hill Preserve, working with partner organizations and community members. Our record of success with Phase I of the project included an education and outreach component, capacity building, successful pilot projects, and direct improvements. For example, we have established a partnership with the Tukwila School District, and have hosted field trips of 2nd, 3rd and 7th grade classes where students participated in hands -on restoration activities, and learned to identify and classify native and invasive plants on site. We also sponsored a teacher training workshop in 2011 open to all Tukwila School District teachers, focused on environmental and cultural education opportunities at the Duwamish Hill Preserve. Our regularly scheduled volunteer work parties draw dozens of neighbors, and major events such as Duwamish Alive draw over one hundred volunteers to participate in large -scale projects. Visitors will be able to learn about restoration activities through interpretive materials (in development) focusing not just on the Preserve but also on the Green Duwamish Watershed as a whole, emphasizing the importance of coordinated efforts and offering suggestions for what individual land owners can do and how other residents can contribute to environmental recovery and sustainability. As the fee owner of the Duwamish Hill Preserve, the City of Tukwila is best positioned to manage Phase II design, planning and restoration activities, which we propose to do in partnership with Forterra, Friends of the Hill, and other organizations devoted to environmental restoration and education in the area. Forterra's nonprofit status creates opportunities to access project funds from private foundations that work with 501(c)(3) organizations.

Efficiency (see page 2 of application instructions for definition) - describe how the project will efficiently implement the natural resource improvement measures identified in question No. 2 above. Consider the following in your answer to this question: How will the proposed program /service/ intervention engage in conjunction with related efforts? How does your strategy best leverage resources? The Phase II restoration project builds on successful Phase I fund raising, community engagement, and completion of a complex restoration project to re- establish and expand a variety of native plant communities. Because the project has both natural resource and cultural resource elements, we have been able to secure support from a wide variety of funding agencies and programs. In addition to the recent acquisition funding from King County Conservation Futures, City of Tukwila and 4Culture, we have secured one restoration grant from the Washington State Heritage Capital Projects Program, and have been recommended for a second grant from the same program which should be'available in mid -2013. Funds from KCD will support design and planning activities which need to be completed as first steps in the Phase II process, and completion of this work will allow us to move forward with restoration activities when new state funds become available. This investment of state and local public funds will leverage extensive volunteer involvement in the project, totaling hundreds of hours of in -kind labor each year from the Friends of the Hill, as well as private tax exempt contributions from individual donors through Forterra. The City of Tukwila and Forterra have been working together for over a decade on the Duwamish Hill Preserve project, and we are able to efficiently identify, prioritize and allocate tasks related to fund raising, planning and project management. Our management team for the project includes representatives from multiple city departments, Forterra, and key citizen advisors and consultants. 6. Equity (see page 2 of application instructions for definition) - describe how the project will equitably implement the natural resource improvement measures identified in question No. 2 above. Consider the following in your answer to this question: In what part of the District will the proposed program /service /intervention occur? Who is the target audience and what demographic section of the community will be affected? As a public conservation property, the Duwamish Hill Preserve serves the ethnically diverse, working class community of Tukwila, where 74% of the students in the school district qualify for free or reduced -price meals. The school district population includes 35% transitional bilingual speakers, an indication of the high proportion of the population who are recent immigrants. This area also had the largest concentration of pre- contact Native American winter villages in all of King County, surrounding the former confluence of the Black River and the Green River which formed the Duwamish River. Natural resource improvement actions at this site involve diverse community members, and interpretation of cultural heritage provides an opportunity to connect Tukwila's current residents to its past, through traditional stories, place names, and environmental awareness. 7. Evaluation of Intended Results - describe the evaluation mechanisms you will use to track, document, and report that the project has achieved the intended results described in questions 1- 3. A major accomplishment was celebrated just weeks ago, when acquisition of the West Parcel was completed, thus expanding the Preserve and expanding the Phase II project area. The stewardship easement which Forterra holds on the original 8.6 acres of the Preserve will be expanded to include the new acquisition, formalizing Forterra's role in Member Jurisdiction & WRIA Forum Grant Program, Application • July 18, 2008 • Page 4 of 5 80 monitoring and evaluating stewardship actions at the Preserve. Planning and design development for the Preserve's Phase II restoration (described in #1 above), and subsequent implementation of the restoration design, will result in improved habitat value and water quality in this critical area of the Duwamish River. The project's management team brings a variety of expertise to the project, including ability to evaluate planning and implementation of tasks related to environmental planning, landscape design, hydrological systems, wetlands restoration, cultural resource protection, recreational development, capital project management, and native plant restoration. We also look forward to future efforts to develop a comprehensive shoreline restoration project in Phase III, extending from the Duwamish Hill Preserve to the downstream Duwamish Gardens property. 8.

This grant is funded with King Conservation District Special Assessment funds allocated to the City of Tukwila. This letter confirms that a King Conservation District Member Jurisdiction grant in the amount of $50,000.00 was awarded on 11/20/2012. After obtaining signatures from City of Tukwila representatives, return both copies of the Agreement to me. I will obtain the required signatures from King Conservation District representatives and forward a signed original for your records. Shortly after the grant was awarded, King CD grant staff notified you by electronic mail. King CD considers that notification of award as notice to proceed on the scope of work approved. While the award has been approved, the way the District makes grant payments has changed. The Board of Supervisors recently approved a resolution revising the Member Jurisdiction grant program that states that "all existing and future grant payments associated with approved grant agreements will be made on a reimbursement basis. Grantees will provide adequate documentation demonstrating the completion of stated deliverables in the grant application, including but not limited to invoices, in order to request payment of approved grant project expenses as detailed in the application budget. Request for payment must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the day payment is needed by. Ten percent of the grant award will be held by the District until all reporting and expense documentation is submitted and approved and the close out process is complete." This is to replace the current process of paying 90% of the grant award upfront. KCD Ref: 12- 215 -Rick Still, Tukwila, Duwamish Hill Preserve Phase II Restoration Design and Planning agreement letter 83 84 This policy change was made by the Board of Supervisors as a result of the Supreme Court ruling in the Mason /Carey case, legal challenges, the resulting budget shortfall, and at the request of partner jurisdictions. The Board looks forward to the successful implementation of this project. We are hopeful that this policy change will enable our partners to continue implementing natural resource improvement projects. You can find the forms to use when submitting progress reports, expense reports, and forms for use when requesting a revision to your grant agreement on our webpage, at kingcd.org/pro_gra.htnt. We have a new reimbursement request form available on the webpage as well. You may submit the form along with supporting documentation via email or regular mail.
