Purpose This Agreement provides the mechanism whereby WLRD will provide support to Kent in order to enhance and expand its sandbag distribution efforts to allow as potential recipients of sandbags all citizens residing in King County who request sandbags in order to protect their homes from flood damage. In times of flooding, Kent distributes sand and sandbags to its citizens on a first come first served basis in order to assist those citizens in protecting homes and property from flood damage. To date,Kent's sandbag distribution program has been available only to residents residing within its municipal boundaries. On March 17, 2009, the King County Council, in response to severe flooding in early 2009, adopted ordinance 16379. This ordinance directed WLRD to increase the availability of sandbags to citizens in flood prone areas by creating stockpiles of materials for sandbags that would be made available at multiple locations in each major watershed in King County free of charge during the flood season. WLRD was also directed to communicate this availability to the public. WLRD has determined that an efficient and effective way of meeting these directives is to augment efforts by cities with existing sandbag distribution programs by providing additional sand and sandbags to those programs so that the programs can be available to all citizens in King County,,rather than to Kent residents only. Cities, including Kent, have expressed their willingness to accept additional sandbag supplies from King County and distribute them, as long as those supplies last,to all citizens residing in King County i who request them. j 1 ill Agreement of Support for Provision of Sandbag Supplies for Enhanced Flood Protection II.

In the event that a dispute arises under this Agreement, it shall be referred for resolution to the Division Director of WLRD; or other representative as designated by WLRD, and a representative as designated by Kent. This provision shall not be construed as prohibiting either Party from seeking enforcement of the terms of this Agreement, or relief or remedy from a breach of the terms of this Agreement, in law or in equity. III. Responsibilities A. WLRD: 1. By October 1 of each calendar year beginning in 2014, WLRD will provide the City with 1,000 sandbags and 30 yards of sand or the cash equivalent. 2. In a given calendar year, WLRD will provide additional supplies upon request by the City, subject to availability and funding, and the provisions of IV.G. below. 3. WLRD will publicize the location of the sandbag distribution site operated by Kent from which both Kent residents and non-residents may pick up sand and sandbags made available by WLRD under this Agreement. B. Kent: 1. Upon execution of this Agreement, Kent will designate a location for delivery of supplies by the WLRD and, if different, the location where King County citizens may pick up sandbag supplies made available by WLRD. 2. Subject to availability and funding, Kent agrees to distribute those sandbag supplies made available by WLRD,while they last,to the citizens residing within incorporated and unincorporated King County who request them, during the times Kent operates its sandbag distribution program. If Kent separately maintains a distribution program for the benefit of its residents only, Kent is not required under the terms of this Agreement to make those supplies available to non-residents of Kent. 3. Kent agrees to comply with all applicable regulations governing its sandbag distribution program. 2 � Agreement of Support for Provision of Sandbag Supplies for Enhanced Flood Protection i II' 4.
