EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Lacey Harper 7/27/23
PURPOSE: To authorize and approve the Snohomish County Executive to sign the interlocal agreement between Snohomish County and the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians for wood acquisition to support Jim Creek Restoration Project.
BACKGROUND: The Surface Water Management Division of the Snohomish County Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will be restoring a portion of Jim Creek to improve salmon habitat. They will use Engineered Log Jam Structures (ELJs) to address multiple limiting factors of salmonid species of concern by increasing key piece wood density and deep pool frequency for cover and refuge, adding hydraulic complexity to promote localized erosion and depositional patterns, and accumulating recruited wood and debris in Jim Creek. The Stillaguamish Tribe offered to sell the County structural wood pilings (long, straight logs) for use in the Project because they had not used them as originally planned. They offered 51 structural wood pilings at a cost of $600 each. It is estimated that raw costs to the County of similar wood pieces would be $1,000 to $1,500 each. The County and the Stillaguamish Tribe have negotiated the terms of this interlocal agreement.
