The SRFB grant request estimated at $587,319 (total project cost $690,965) is to acquire three floodplain parcels on the north side of the Big Quilcene River and restore them to natural conditions. SRFB grant funding leverages Secure Rural Schools Title III funds provided through Public Works. This project, referred to as RCO #15-1189, builds upon over a dozen previously funded SRFB projects (e.g. RCO #12-1384C) to acquire, from willing sellers, and restore floodplain properties along the lower Big Quilcene River for the purpose of salmon recovery. ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS/PRO'S and CON'S: The Recreation and Conservation Office requires BoCC signature on a specifically worded resolution authorizing Environmental Health to submit the funding application for this project. The signed resolution is a mandatory element of the grant request. When funding is awarded the project agreement referenced in bullet #2 on the resolution will go through the standard Environmental Health and County reviews for signature by the BoCC. The resolution is compatible with the County's Strategic Goal of seeking non - local sources of revenue and the HCCC Summer Chum Recovery Plan. FISCAL IWACT/COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS: The project will be funded using up to $103,646 of Secure Rural Schools Title III funding and $587,319 in grant funds. RECOMMENDATION: Approve and sign the attached Resolution. Return a signed copy of the Resolution to Environmental Health for further processing.
