Five projects are recommended for partial funding. WRIA 8 received applications requesting far more funding than what was available in this grant cycle, and given the quality of the proposals received and the interest of the WRIA 8 Project Subcommittee to advance as much priority work around the watershed as possible, the recommendations include some partial awards. WRIA 8 takes into account the ability of project sponsors to scale or phase their work when issuing partial funding recommendations.

Proposed No.: FCD Resolution No 2018-08 Date: August 29, 2018

SUBJECT FCD Resolution No 2017-05: A Resolution relating to the operations and finances of the King County Flood Control District; authorizing the expenditure of District funds for the projects and activities in accordance with the Flood Reduction Grants. In its fifth year, this innovative grant program funds smaller non-CIP projects supporting local communities (cities, home owner associations, school districts, businesses, no-profits, etc.). The Flood Reduction Grant program provides grant funding for projects with flood reduction benefits, including but not limited to, surface water overflows, near shore flooding, lake flooding due to outflow blockage, or the clearance of clogged agricultural drainage systems. This year the King County Flood Control District ("District") received 331 grant requests totaling $8,355,434. Available funding in 2018 is $3,192,994. The review committee recommends awarding Flood Reduction Grants totaling $3,192,994. Grant availability was announced this spring through press releases, posting to the District website, and outreach by Supervisors and their staff. Applicants included 1 neighborhood association, 1 town, 12 cities, 1 homeowners associations, 1 drainage district, 1 watershed improvement district, the King Conservation District, King County Water and Lands Resources Division, and 1 non-profit. King County Water and Land Resources grants staff reviewed the projects for eligibility and visited project sites for a technical review. A review panel of John Taylor, Assistant Director of King County Water and Land Resources Division, Lisa Jensen, former Newcastle councilmember, and Michelle Clark, King County Flood Control District Executive Director reviewed the grant requests and met in person to make recommendations.

1 The City of Kent withdrew a grant application. The review panel reviewed the other 32 applications submitted.


The review panel recommends full funding for 9 projects, the removal of 3 projects from the grant list and adding these projects to the District's 6-year CIP (King County DNRP, Water and Land Resources Division, King County Roads, and Snoqualmie projects) and partial funding for 16 other projects. The review panel recommends denying 4 applications.
