Utilities Finance <br />subsequently invoices Diking Improvement District No. 5 under an Interlocal Agreement <br />for reimbursement of staff time and consultant costs. <br />Project summary statement: <br />In partnership with Snohomish County, the City restored intertidal and riverine influence <br />to 350-acres of intertidal wetland habitat on Smith Island in 2018. On the City-owned <br />55-acre property an Advance Mitigation Site was created to offset wetland impacts from <br />future projects. Along the former dike system a second Advance Mitigation Site was <br />created for Diking Improvement District No. 5 to use toward mitigating impacts of <br />repairs and projects. Environmental permits for both the City and District Advance <br />Mitigation Sites require 10 years of monitoring to ensure that the restoration reaches <br />the required performance levels to attain full use of Advance Mitigation Credits. <br />Monitoring will be completed per the schedule in the Advance Mitigation Plans for each <br />respective agency. The District has requested that the City continue to manage the <br />monitoring of the District site because the City is performing similar oversight of the City <br />site. The Professional Services Agreement with GeoEngineers provides for Monitoring <br />and Reporting Services for Year 7. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Authorize the Mayor to sign the Professional Services Agreement with GeoEngineers for <br />monitoring services at the Diking Improvement District Advance Mitigation Site in the <br />amount not to exceed $78,000. <br /> <br /> <br />City Council Agenda Item Cover Sheet
