Title

A RESOLUTION of the Board of Supervisors of the King County Flood Control Zone District authorizing King County to execute a real property covenant on certain real property held in the name of the King County Flood Control District.

Body

                     WHEREAS, in 2008, the King County Flood Control District provided funding for King County’s purchase of a parcel of real property known as King County Tax Parcel 322306-9042 (the "Parcel"), located along the Cedar River, and

                     WHEREAS, since acquiring these Parcels utilizing District funds, King County-through the King County Mitigation Reserves Program ("MRP"), an "in-lieu fee" ("ILF") program established pursuant to 33 CFR Part 332-utilized these parcels for the Rainbow Bend Mitigation Project, which re-established and enhanced wetland and riparian habitat by removing fill material and re-grading the site to create more natural topography, and

                     WHEREAS, as a component of the ILF, King County is required to grant restrictive covenants for the stated benefit of the United States Army Corps of Engineers and/or Washington Department of Ecology to establish permanent site protections for this Parcel to ensure it, as a mitigation site, continues to provide ecological functions in perpetuity, and

                     WHEREAS, King County submitted a request to the District’s Board of Supervisors for authorization to execute a restrictive covenant for this Parcel, restricting its use to preserve it as natural open space in perpetuity in furtherance of its continued inclusion in the ILF program, and this request is pursuant to King County Code 4.56.060.E.1.a, which requires District approval-by resolution-prior to the conveyance of any real property interest acquired by King County utilizing funding from the District, and

                     WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has no objection to the request from King County;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE KING COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL ZONE DISTRICT:

                     SECTION 1.  King County is authorized to execute the Declaration of Land Use

Restriction and Real Property Covenant attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference, and to take all action necessary to effectuate this authorization.
