However, Hood Canal Coordinating Council (HCCC), the project consultant, and the member counties were not able to complete all the grant tasks prior to the deadline. Washington Department of Ecology extended the grant deadline for HCCC until April 30, 2014. HCCC is requesting that Jefferson County (and other member counties) sign an Agreement Extension. This grant extension would allow DCD to continue working on the ILF grant until April 30, 2014. The ILF program provides an applicant with another mitigation option for development conducted near aquatic resources (e.g., shorelines, critical areas, buffers). Applicants now have an opportunity to write a check to cover the cost of mitigation (and HCCC would be responsible for developing and implementing a mitigation project) rather than the applicant being held responsible for preparing and implementing mitigation. ANALYSIS /STRATEGIC GOALS/PROS and CONS: The benefit of approving the HCCC Agreement Extension is that DCD can continue to work on this grant and complete some of the grant tasks. Work on this grant brings revenue in to DCD. There are no negative ramifications of approving the agreement extension. The Professional Services Contract was reviewed by David Alvarez and approved as to form prior to BoCC signature on October 1, 2012. The language of the Agreement Extension does not change the Professional Services Contract except for the grant end date (Agreement Extension revises the due date from December 31, 2013 to April 30, 2014). FISCAL IMPACT /COST- BENEFIT ANALYSIS: The budget for this fiscal year is based on DCD bringing in $10,000 from the ILF grant. The grant match is being paid by HCCC; therefore, no additional funds from the County would be needed to continue working on this grant. Consent Agenda RECOMMENDATION: DCD recommends that the BoCC authorize the Agreement Extension to the Professional Services Contract between HCCC and DCD.
