Section 2. The City has reviewed the sample project agreement on the Recreation and Conservation Office’s website, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A to this resolution, and authorizes the Superintendent, or the Superintendent’s designee, to enter into such a project agreement(s) 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 the sample project agreement attached 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 the City’s authorized representative signing the actual project agreement, and the City accepts the responsibility and the presumption that its authorized representative shall have conferred with the Parks, Seattle Center, Libraries and Waterfront Committee of the City Council as to any material changes prior to execution of the project agreement on behalf of the City and is authorized to execute a project agreement as required and revised from time to time by the Recreation and Conservation Office.
Section 3. Any grant assistance received will be used for only directly 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 the Seattle Parks and Recreation Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 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 project(s), the Recreation and Conservation Office will pay the City only on a reimbursement basis. The City understands that “reimbursement basis” means the City will only request payment from the Recreation and Conservation Office after the City incurs eligible and allowable costs and pays them. 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 it owns the property for the Stan Sayres and Don Armeni Boat Ramp Renovation Projects and 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 the City and the Recreation and Conservation Funding Board in the project agreement or an amendment thereto.
Section 7. The City holds a long-term lease with the Department of Natural Resources for the tidelands and aquatic lands that constitute part of the property for the Leschi Marina South Renovation project, and any improvements made on leased land would be owned by the City. Any property not owned by the City that is developed, renovated, or restored with grant assistance must be dedicated for the purpose of the grant for at least 25 years after the project is complete unless otherwise provided and agreed to by the City and the Recreation and Conservation Funding Board in the project agreement or an amendment thereto.
Section 8. This resolution and the application materials are hereby authorized and shall function as part of a formal application from the City to the Recreation and Conservation Funding Board for grant assistance.
Section 9. The City confirms to the Recreation and Conservation Funding Board that it has provided appropriate opportunity for public comment on the City’s applications for Recreation and Conservation Office grant assistance for Boating Facilities Program projects.
