The report of the Civil Rights, Utilities, Economic Development and Arts Committee Agenda Item for resolution 31799. A Resolution Ratifying the 2017 update to the Lake Washington Cedar Sammamish Watershed or Water Resource Inventory Area eight Chinook Salmon Conservation Plan. The committee recommends a full council adopt the resolution. HERBOLD Thank you. This resolution ratifies the 2017 update to the Water Resource Inventory Area eight Conservation Plan, otherwise known as WYRE eight. Two decades ago, the Federal Government listed the Puget Sound Chinook salmon as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, prompting local governments in the Lake Washington Cedar Sammamish watershed to initiate a coordinated watershed scale partnership to recover salmon under an Interlocal agreement. Implementation of salmon recovery actions in Wairoa is guided by the Wairoa eight Chinook Salmon Conservation Plan, which was originally completed in 2005 and ratified by each of the local government partners. The Weare eight Salmon Recovery Council will receive regular briefings during the update process and approved the new ten year update to the Wairoa eight plan in September 2017. Very good. Any further comments? Those in favor of adopting the resolution please vote i. I. Those opposed vote no. The motion carries the resolutions adopted. The chair will sign it. Please read the next agenda item.
