SUBJECT: USGS Joint Funding Agreement for Fiscal Year 2022 -
Authorize
MOTION: I move to authorize the Mayor to sign the Joint Funding
Agreement for Water Resource Investigations between the City of Kent
and the U.S. Geological Survey, in the amount of $116,611, subject to final
terms and conditions acceptable to the Public Works Director and City
Attorney.
SUMMARY: This is an on-going partnership with the City of Kent and the U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) for stream data collection. For federal fiscal year 2022,
The City of Kent will contribute $116,611 to the total annual program costs of
$159,026 with the USGS and the City of Tukwila providing the remainder. The
City’s share is decreased for this year due to the removal of one gage on Rock
Creek.
These gages provide valuable information on stream flows and precipitation,
including water surface elevations, flow levels and amounts of precipitation. This
information is used to calibrate stream flow models and increase the accuracy of
stormwater flood projection models. The internet link allows staff and the public to
monitor stream flow levels from remote locations at real-time.
The stream flow measured at the gage at Rock Creek and Kent Kangley Road is
included in the Clark Springs Habitat Conservation Plan as a criterion to determine
the City’s augmentation of flows in Rock Creek from October through December.
This agreement will provide for operation, maintenance and data collection at seven
gages. Two are located on Mill Creek, one on Springbrook Creek, one on Rock
Creek, and three on the Green River.
The gage information is available to the public real-time at
http://waterdata.usgs.gov/wa/nwis/current/?type=flow
BUDGET IMPACT: Costs for this contract will be charged partially to the Water
Utility (Rock Creek gage) and partially to the Drainage Utility (Green River, Mill and
Springbrook gages).
SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:
Evolving Infrastructure - Connecting people and places through strategic investments in physical
and technological infrastructure.
Thriving City - Creating safe neighborhoods, healthy people, vibrant commercial districts, and
inviting parks and recreation.
Sustainable Services - Providing quality services through responsible financial management,
economic growth, and partnerships.
Inclusive Community - Embracing our diversity and advancing equity through genuine community
engagement.
