The expiration date will be extended, and existing funds will be re- allocated between the already established tasks within the grant. The grant requires a 25% match from the city which will come from the utilities fund. Total City expenditure: $100,370 Project summary statement: The proposed amendment will extend the grant expiration date to June 30, 2026, to allow for completion of the study. The grant funds a study of potential locations city-wide where regional stormwater facilities could be most effective constructed. Regional stormwater facilities provide numerous benefits vs. the current practice constructing facilities on a project-by-project basis. These benefits include reduced maintenance requirements and inspection, the ability to address existing stormwater problems and in some cases encouraging redevelopment and growth. The study will build on previous work in the Stormwater Management Action Plan (SMAP) and is the first step to developing the Regional Stormwater Facility Plan called for in EMC 14.28.070. Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): Authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment No. 1 to Water Quality Combined Financial Assistance Agreement No. WQC-2023-EverPW-00118 with the State of Washington Department of Ecology.
