The Report of the Park Seattle Center Libraries and Waterfront Committee Resolution 31691. A resolution relating to the Department of Parks and Recreation authorizing submission of applications for grant funding, assistance for aquatic lands, enhancement account projects to the Recreation and Conservation Funding Board as provided in RTW. 79.105.150. Chapter 79 8.25 ah S.W. Title 286 WAC and other applicable authorities. The Committees. The committee recommends the resolution be adopted. Councilmember Bagshaw. Thank you. I am pinch hitting here for Councilmember Suarez as her vice chair of the Parks Committee. We have this item in the next two items or resolutions that will support grant applications. The reason that we do this is that we will be requesting money, but we will also have matching money. And we need to make sure that the granting organizations know that we are primed and ready to make our match. So this first one is a resolution that will support a grant application for $475,000 to the Aquatic Land Enhancement Account at the Recreation and Conservation Funding Board for the Arboretum Waterfront Trail. And these funds would be matched 1 to 1 with other revenue to improve a one half mile of trail connecting Fisher Island to the rest of the trail network, making the trail more ADA accessible, and fixing the ongoing flooding issues that can sometimes make the trail inaccessible. And the Parks Committee recommends two paths. Which are there any further comments? Those in favor of adopting the resolution vote i. I. Those opposed vote no. The motion carries. The resolution is adopted and Cher will sign it. Next agenda item, please.
