Authorize
MOTION: I move to authorize the Mayor to sign the Joint Funding
Agreement for Water Resource Investigations with the U.S. Geological
Survey, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the Public
Works Director and City Attorney.
SUMMARY: This agreement is part of an ongoing partnership with the City and the
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for stream data collection. For federal fiscal year
2025, the City will contribute $127,605 to the total annual program costs of
$175,730 with the USGS and the City of Tukwila providing the remainder.
These gages provide valuable information on stream and weather conditions,
including water surface elevations, flow levels and precipitation. This information is
used to calibrate stream flow models and increase the accuracy of City design of
stormwater flood projection models. The internet link allows staff and the public to
monitor stream flow levels from remote locations in real time.
The stream flow measured at the Rock Creek and Kent Kangley Road gage is
included in the Clark Springs Habitat Conservation Plan to determine the City's
agreed to augmentation 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 Stormwater Utility (Green River, Mill
and Springbrook gages).
SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:
