Motion 26-125, authorizing the 2026 Historic Preservation Program Grant Awards
body
DEPARTMENT: CONSERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES
ORIGINATOR: Gretchen Kaehler
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Tom Teigen 3/10/26
PURPOSE: 2026-HISTORIC PRESERVATION GRANT RECOMMENDATIONS APPROVAL
BACKGROUND: Ordinance 08-119 authorizes the County to administer a Heritage Preservation program to allocate revenues accruing under provision of RCW 36.22.170. These funds designate a share of document recording fees to the promotion of historic preservation. The Snohomish County Historic Preservation Commission established grant criteria and an application process to distribute the funds throughout the historical preservation community. These funds are fully budgeted under the Historic Preservation sub fund in the General Fund. A sum of $75,000 was budgeted for 2026 grants. The Snohomish County Preservation Commission recommends awarding $75,000 to thirteen (13) out of eighteen (18) projects reviewed. This Motion needs to be re-approved through Legistar due to changes in the attachments which did not equal $75,000 as originally presented.
