WASHINGTON
Agenda Subject: Request Permission to Apply for grant money to State Date: May 19, 2008
of Washington Recreation and Conservation Board for Washington
Wildlife & Recreation in the amount of $154,000.
Department: Parks, Arts and Attachments: Resolution No. 4347 Budget Impact:
Recreation
Administrative Recommendation:
City Council adopt Resolution No. 4347.
Background Summary:
King County voters approved the issuance of bonds to finance parks and trails on November 7, 1989.
The ballot proposition - authorized by King County Ordinance 9071 and outlined in an Interlocal
Cooperation Agreement between King County and Auburn, dated May 8, 1990 - was approved by
Auburn City Council with adoption of Resolution No. 2045 on February 21, 1990.
On January 4, 2008, the City contracted JGM Landscape Architects to develop design drawings and
construction cost estimates for the western terminus of the White River Trail, approximately 1,025 feet.
Completion of the White River trail requires that development and improvements be made from Roegner
Park to "A" Street SE. Performance of this work, together with design and engineering fees, is estimated
to be $308,000. The City of Auburn, in order to obtain permits and construct the trail, will require an
additional $154,000. At this time, Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department is preparing to make up
that deficit by applying for grant money from the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program of the State
of Washington Recreation and Conservation Funding Board.
We ask that Council authorize the application to aid in financing the trail extension.
