There is a 25% match for this grant ($250,000) which will come from the CIP-3 capital project fund. Project summary statement: The City of Everett will use this grant to renovate the boat launch at Langus Riverfront Park. Located on the east bank of the Snohomish River, this facility has two boarding floating docks measuring 110-ft-long and 160-ft-long with a 35-ft-wide concrete ramp between them allowing for multiple boats to utilize the launch at the same time. The proposed improvements include replacing the boarding floats, the old timber piles with new steel pilings, and replacing the failing debris deflectors with new HDPE camels, which will directly benefit boaters while supporting conservation efforts in the region. Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): Authorize the Mayor to apply for grant funding and execute all necessary documents with respect to the 2024 Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office Boating Facilities Program Grant for Langus Riverfront Boat Launch grant cycle.
