L% e gyp+ Agenda Item:_,_Con sent - 7B TO: Kent City Council DATE: August 18, 2015 SUBJECT: Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 8 Interlocal Agreement - Authorize MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor to sign an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) for the Watershed Basins within Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) S. SUMMARY: In 1999, the federal government listed Puget Sound Chinook salmon as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. In 2001, concerned about the need to protect and restore habitat for salmon, 27 cities and King County in WRIA 8 signed an ILA to jointly create a habitat conservation plan. WRIA 8 includes all of the Lake Washington Watershed, as well as near shore areas in Seattle. In 2006, the ILA was updated to reflect Implementation of the 2005 WRIA 8 Chinook Habitat Plan and renewed for a ten year term which expires at the end of 2015. The local agencies entered into the ILA share interest in and responsibility for addressing long term watershed planning and conservation and wish to continue providing for planning and implementation of various activities and projects. The proposed ILA has been updated to reflect the current goals and purposes of the WRIA 8 ILA parties. Ratification of the ILA would continue the City's support for preservation and restoration of salmon habitat in the Lake Washington, Cedar and Sammamish River watershed. WRIA 8 includes the Cedar River watershed area, of which Rock Creek is a tributary. The City of Kent's Clark Springs municipal water supply is located in the Rock Creek sub-watershed and, during certain times of the year, provides a majority of the city's water supply. The City considers the plan when making management decisions in the Rock Creek watershed, but would not be required through the ILA to Implement any plan requirement or goal if doing so would threaten or harm the City's ability to provide a safe, secure and adequate water supply to its citizens, EXHIBITS: Interlocal Agreement RECOMMENDED BY: Public Works Committee YEA: Fincher, Ralph NAY: BUDGET IMPACT: None REQUEST FOR MAYORTS SIGNATURE ® Prink on Cherry-Colored Paper KENO i .Routing Information:(ALL REQUESTS MUST FIRST a ROUTED THROUGH.Tl.,.
