Administrative Recommendation:
City Council adopt Resolution No. 5644
Background for Motion:
Resolution No. 5644 authorizes the Mayor to execute an amendment to the Conservation Futures ILA between the City and King County for Open Space Acquisitions.
Background Summary:

In 2016 the City was awarded a grant for the acquisition of a parcel located above Mary Olson Farm.  The original target acquisition property, previously known at the Watts property, changed ownership and the new owner was not interested in selling to the property to the City.  Subsequently a parcel located adjacent to the south end of Isaac Evans Park along the Green River became available.  City staff worked with the King County Conservation Futures Review Committee to reprogram the grant from the Watts property located above the farm to the property along the river, south of Isaac Evans Park.  As a result of this acquisition the property along river will be permanently protected from future development.

Budget Impacts:

No budget impacts to other City Departments.  The required City grant match comes in the form of Park Impact Fees in the amount of $12,974.
