Project summary statement: Resolution Departments) involved: Parks &Facilities Administration Legal Contact person: Bob Leonard Phone number: 425 257-8335 Email: bleona rd @everettwa.gov Initialed by: Department head Council President The State of Washington's Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) offers a competitive grant process every two years for funds available through the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP) — Local Parks. This occurs in even numbered years. Similar to Resolutions submitted to City Council in previous years for grant funding requests RCO requires that the City, as the submitting agency, include an "authorizing resolution" by an agency's governing body to accompany the grant application. Agencies are required to use a "model" authorizing resolution provided by the RCO. City staff have worked with RCO staff to tailor a resolution that, to the greatest degree possible, is formatted to resemble the City of Everett format. Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): Adopt a Resolution regarding grant funding managed through the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office for the acquisition of property adjacent to Wiggums Hollow Park project.
