Lake Chaplain Tract experienced significant loss in timber as a result of this <br />windstorm. <br />In 2009, the City entered into an agreement with the Washington Department of Fish <br />and Wildlife and the Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County for the <br />management of City lands at Lake Chaplain. This agreement required the City to develop <br />the Lake Chaplain Tract Wildlife Habitat Management Plan (LCT-WHMP). This plan was <br />modified in 2015 by the Safe/Harbor Cooperative Habitat Enhancement Agreement <br />(SHA-CHEA) with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and Washington State <br />Department of Natural Resources. <br />The LCT-WHMP and SHA-CHEA manage timber harvest and forestry activities to <br />maintain and enhance habitat for wildlife. The windstorm related timber loss occurred <br />in areas designated for harvest by these management plans. <br />The City seeks to partner with DNR’s Large Woody Supply Initiative. Approximately 30 of <br />the large diameter trees, with sizeable root balls attached, that were blown down during <br />the November 19 windstorm will be used during river restoration projects on the <br />Pilchuck and Snohomish rivers. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Authorize the Mayor to sign Forestry Agreement No. 2025-03 License to use City of <br />Everett Property with DNR. <br /> <br />City Council Agenda Item Cover Sheet
