Subject: Resolution Approving Application for Aquatic Land Enhancement
Account (ALEA) Grant Funding to the Recreation Ft Conservation Office
(RCO) for the Olympic Discovery Trail
South Discovery Bay, Segment A - Phase II.
Statement of Issue:
The Public Works Department is completing a grant application for the Recreation and
Conservation Office's (RCO) Aquatic Land Enhancement Account (ALEA) grant program. The
grant will be leveraged against a Washington Wildlife Recreation Program- Trails (WWRP) grant
as match. Each grant request is estimated at $295,000. This will allow for the development
and construction of approximately a 1/4 mile of Olympic Discovery Trail utilizing old railroad
grade as well as Highway 101 right -of -way around South Discovery Bay. The grant requires a
10% local match amounting to approximately $29,500 from local Road funds. (Total project
cost $649,000)
Analysis /Strategic Goals /Pro's Et Con's:
The RCO grant program requires that the BOCC sign a resolution authorizing Public Works to
submit applications for funding. The signed resolution is a mandatory element of the grant
request and must be completed in order for the application to be accepted. The resolution is
compatible with the County's Strategic Goal of seeking non -local sources of revenue. The
Trail project specifically responds to the Strategic Goal of providing for community facility
and recreational needs, with a view to the long -term.
Fiscal Impact /Cost Benefit Analysis:
Project will be completed using $29,500 in local Road funds and $295,000 in RCO grant funds.
Recommendation:
Please sign the attached Resolution and return a copy of the resolution to Public Works.
