was not successful in the ISTEA regional competition, that the county-wide
competition is upcoming with a submittal deadline of May 26 to King County, and
that only $3 million is available for all South County Area Transportation Board
(SCATBd) members in this competition. Therefore, at most, if our project is
successful we could not expect an award to exceed $1 million.

In the regional competition our application relied upon a $1.5 million cost share by
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). Now WSDOT
informs us that the Legislature has eliminated WSDOT's budget this year for cost
sharing participation. Our regional project, had it been successful, would have
been cost shared as follows:
WSDOT 1.5M
Developers .3M
TIB 1.7M
ISTEA 1.8M
TOTAL 5.3M
WSDOT finance officer is agreeing to pursue their share in future-year Legislative
rounds, if the City is successful in obtaining an ISTEA grant. The new cost
sharing arrangement might be:
WSDOT 1.5M
Developers .3M
TIB 1.7M
ISTEA 1.0M
City .8M
TOTAL 5.3M
Dennis Dowdy requested direction from the Public Works Committee members on
proceeding with the design stage of the project and alternative financing available
in 1996-1997.
Consensus from the Public Works Committee was to continue with the project.
