Section 2. The City has reviewed the sample funding board project agreement on the Recreation and Conservation Office’s website, which is attached as Exhibit A to this resolution, and authorizes the Superintendent, or the Superintendent’s designee, to enter into such a project agreement if funding from the Recreation and Conservation Office is awarded to the City. The City understands and acknowledges that the project agreement will contain the indemnification and other terms and conditions that are contained in Exhibit A to this resolution. The City further acknowledges that the sample project agreement may be revised periodically by the Recreation and Conservation Office. The City recognizes that such changes might occur prior to its authorized representative signing the actual project agreement, and it accepts the responsibility and the presumption that its authorized representative shall have conferred with the City Council as to any such changes prior to execution of the project agreement on behalf of the City and shall execute with the City Council’s authorization.
Section 3. Any grant assistance received will be used for only direct eligible and allowable costs that are reasonable and necessary to implement the projects referenced above.
Section 4. The City expects its matching share of project funding will be derived from Seattle Parks and Recreation’s 2016-2021 Capital Improvement Program and Washington Wildlife and Recreation Local Parks (WWRP LP) funding and that pursuant to WAC 286-13-040 the City shall certify the availability of match at least one month before funding approval. In addition, the City understands it is responsible for supporting all non-cash commitments to this project should they not materialize.
Section 5. The City acknowledges that, if the Recreation and Conservation Funding Board approves grant assistance for the projects, the Recreation and Conservation Office will pay the City only on a reimbursement basis. The City understands that the reimbursement basis means that the City will only request payment from the Recreation and Conservation Office after it incurs and pays eligible and allowable costs. The Recreation and Conservation Office may also determine an amount of retainage and hold that amount until the project is complete.
Section 6. The City acknowledges that any property owned by the City that is developed, renovated or restored with grant assistance must be dedicated for the purpose of the grant in perpetuity after the project is complete unless otherwise provided and agreed to by its organization and the Recreation and Conservation Funding Board in the project agreement or an amendment thereto.
