SUBJECT: Agenda Item — Workshop and Potential Decision: Draft Grant Application and
Matching Contribution to the Flood Control Assistance Account (FCAA) Program
for the Lower Dosewallips River
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Jefferson County Public Health requests time for a workshop to discuss a draft grant application and matching
contribution to the Flood Control Assistance Account (FCAA) Program for the Lower Dosewallips River.
ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS/PROS and CONS:
Public Health, in partnership with Community Development and a number of self-selected residents of Brinnon
who comprise the community's informal South County Task Force, is in the process of drafting an application
to the Department of Ecology's FCAA Program to accelerate implementation of the 2009 Dosewallips and
Duckabush Flood Hazard Management Plan through a community-focused process. If successful, the FCAA
grant would fund a public process and consultant support to conduct an alternatives analysis, and to develop
conceptual designs, feasibility assessments and action plans to reduce flood risk in Brinnon and, should
funding allow, the Lazy C. The period of performance in July 2025 through June 2027. The Department of
Ecology requires a 25% matching contribution, or up to $125,000 depending on the award amount, to Health's
anticipated request of nearly $500,000. The purpose of this workshop is to provide an overview of Health's
grant application, to gather input, and to request a motion be made to earmark up to $125,000 from the
General Fund for this project, consistent with Ecology's actual award. The grant application deadline is
February 271
FISCAL IMPACT/COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
For this opportunity, Ecology is unlikely to award more than $250,000 to any project, but they have suggested
that Health apply, as needed, up to the maximum award amount of $500,000 in case a surplus of funding is
available in this funding cycle.
