Mason County, Washington (COUNTY) and the Hood Canal School District No. 404 (DISTRICT)
have partnered on the Hood Canal Track and Field Improvement project and have applied for
funding though the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office.
This joint resolution authorizes submitting an application for grant funding assistance for
Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP) project(s) to the Recreation and
Conservation Funding Board as provided in Chapter 79A.15 and 79A.25 RCW, WAC 286, and
other applicable authorities.
WHEREAS, COUNTY has approved a comprehensive parks and recreation or habitat conservation
plan that includes this project; and
WHEREAS, under provisions of the WWRP program, state grant assistance is requested to aid in
financing the cost of development; and
WHEREAS, COUNTY and DISTRICT considers it in the best public interest to complete the project
described in the application(s).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IS RESOLVED that:
1. The Mason County Board of Commissioners and the Hood Canal School District No. 404 Board
of Directors are authorized to make formal application to the Recreation and Conservation
Funding Board for grant assistance.
2. Staff and representatives of COUNTY and DISTRICT has reviewed the sample project
agreement on the Recreation and Conservation Office's web site at:
http://www.rco.wa.gov/documents/manuals&forms/SampleProjAgreement.pdf and authorizes
Terri Jeffreys, County Commissioner and Chair of the Board to enter into such a project
agreement, if funding is awarded. We understand and acknowledge that the project agreement
will contain the indemnification and other terms and conditions that are contained in the
sample project agreement. The sample project agreement may be revised periodically by the
Recreation and Conservation Office. Our organizations recognize that such changes might
occur prior to our authorized representative signing the actual project agreement, and we
accept the responsibility and the presumption that our authorized representative shall have
conferred with us as to any such changes before he/she executes the project agreement on
behalf of our organization and so executes with our authorization.
3. Any grant assistance received will be used for only direct eligible and allowable costs that are
reasonable and necessary to implement the project referenced above.
4. DISTRICT expects our matching share of project funding will be derived from State Forest
Revenue in our Debt Service Fund and that pursuant to WAC 286-13-040 we must certify the
availability of match at least one month before funding approval. In addition, our organization
understands it is responsible for supporting all non -cash commitments to this project should
they not materialize.
5. COUNTY and DISTRICT acknowledge that if the Recreation and Conservation Funding Board
approves grant assistance for the project(s), the Recreation and Conservation Office will pay us
on only a reimbursement basis. We understand reimbursement basis means that we will only
request payment from the Recreation and Conservation Office after we incur eligible and
allowable costs and pay them. The Recreation and Conservation Office may also determine an
amount of retainage and hold that amount until the project is complete.
6. DISTRICT acknowledges that any property owned by our organization that is developed,
renovated or restored with grant assistance must be dedicated for the purpose of the grant in
perpetuity after the project is complete unless otherwise provided and agreed to by our
organization and the Recreation and Conservation Funding Board in the project agreement or
an amendment thereto.
7. COUNTY and DISTRICT acknowledges that any property not owned by our organization that is
developed, renovated or restored with grant assistance must be dedicated for the purpose of
the grant for at least twenty-five (25) years after the project is complete unless otherwise
provided and agreed to by our organization and the Recreation and Conservation Funding
Board in the project agreement or an amendment thereto.
8. COUNTY and DISTRICT agree that this application authorization becomes part of a formal
application to the Recreation and Conservation Funding Board for grant assistance.
9. COUNTY and DISTRICT provided appropriate opportunity for public comment on this
application.
