The City of Renton, Community Services Department, submitted a qualifying proposal to perform an Urban Tree Canopy Assessment study. On August 31, 2010, WDNR notified the City of Renton that it was one of three cities selected for a grant award. The total project cost is $57,984 with the WDNR grant contributing $30,000 and the City share contributing $22,225 (2010 CIP) and $5,759 (staff in-kind). The project must be completed by July 31, 2011. The Urban Tree Canopy Assessment Project will perform an aerial assessment of tree cover using remote satellite images of the City. The study will determine the amount of pervious and impervious surfaces, provide mapping in various color spectrums that distinguish tree canopy from open fields, water, roof tops, roadways, open space and multiple land classifications and provide strategies for increasing canopy cover. In addition, the project will compare Renton's current canopy cover on public and private lands with aerial photographs from 2003. The final analysis and assessment report will provide the findings of the study such as acres of canopy and hard surfaces, identify planting opportunities, provide a dollar value of water, air and land benefits that trees and other vegetation contribute, the potential for increasing those values, recommend canopy cover guidelines by zoning classifications and more. The report will be an educational tool to demonstrate the values of protecting and increasing tree canopy, develop urban forestry program canopy cover goals and be a basis for future land development comparisons. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve an interagency agreement with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources in the amount of $57,984 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement. 6b. ‐ Community Services Department recommends acceptance of grant  funds in the amount of $30,000 from the Washington State Department Page 3 of 67 6b. ‐ Community Services Department recommends acceptance of grant  funds in the amount of $30,000 from the Washington State Department Page 4 of 67 \\rvfps-03\depts\cs\parks\urbanforestry.nr manager\parksdivision\forestry\grants\2010 urban initiative grant\2010-000mb (issue paper-wdnrufgrantagreement).doc COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE:October 14, 2010 TO:Don Persson, Council President Members of Renton City Council VIA:Denis Law, Mayor FROM:Terry Higashiyama, Community Services Administrator STAFF CONTACT:Leslie Betlach, Parks Planning and Natural Resources Director (x-6619) Terry Flatley, Urban Forestry and Natural Resources Manager (x-6601) SUBJECT:2010 Urban Initiative Grant – Interagency Agreement and Resolution ISSUE: Should the Council concur with the staff recommendation to enter into the 2010 Urban Initiative Grant Interagency Agreement and approve the Resolution with Washington State Department of Natural Resources to conduct The Urban Tree Canopy Assessment Project for trees on public and private lands? RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Interagency Agreement and Resolution with the City of Renton and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources in the base amount of $57,984 to perform The Urban Tree Canopy Assessment Project. The City has a 2010 budgeted amount of $110,000 in its Capital Improvement Urban Forestry Program. The City applied to the State in July 2010 with a proposal to perform a citywide canopy cover assessment and analysis. On August 20, 2010 Renton was selected as one of three communities in Washington to receive the $30,000 Urban Initiative Grant. A consultant will be utilized that provides canopy cover mapping, assessment and analysis for this project. The project is expected to be completed well within the July 31, 2011 deadline. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The Community Services Department and other departments have been implementing the Urban and Community Forestry Development Plan since City Council approval (July 20, 2009). One of the key strategies of the plan was to conduct a citywide canopy assessment. The purpose is to determine the ratio of impervious to pervious surfaces, and the dollar value of environmental benefits that canopy cover provides and guidelines that homeowners, planners and developers can use to minimize canopy cover loss. Included in the grant application were letters of support from Mayor Denis Law and Chip Vincent, Planning Director for Community and Economic Development Department. 6b. ‐ Community Services Department recommends acceptance of grant  funds in the amount of $30,000 from the Washington State Department Page 5 of 67 Don Persson, Council President Members of Renton City Council Page 2 of 2 April 13, 2010 \\rvfps-03\depts\cs\parks\urbanforestry.nr manager\parksdivision\forestry\grants\2010 urban initiative grant\2010-000mb (issue paper-wdnrufgrantagreement).doc The City’s contribution to the project is $22,225 budgeted from the 2010 Urban Forestry Program CIP Fund and $5,759 of in-kind staff time. The project will be performed using the services of a consultant specializing in remote sensing and canopy cover analysis. A report will contrast Renton’s public and private canopy cover in 2003 with existing cover and display maps highlighting canopy, other pervious surfaces such as turf, and impervious surfaces such as roof tops and streets. Data will be summarized using land classifications (i.e. zoning) and include number of acres for each type of designation. The report will indicate the potential for increasing canopy cover with corresponding values, for example, increases in stormwater retention through tree planting or maintenance. A dollar amount will be attributed to each environmental value, for each classification by tree and for the city as a whole. Environmental values include the corresponding cost to otherwise construct stormwater detention facilities, remove air pollutants, store and sequester carbon and purify water using modeling programs of the data. One of several products will be an Adobe PDF document that contains various layers of data in map form, with graphs and tables that will be accessible to the public on the City’s web site. The data will be useful in other ways including educating the public about the dollar value and importance of trees on private property and for quantifying and locating the green infrastructure for the Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Natural Resources Plan. The project is expected to be completed in about four months from the date of hiring a consultant. CONCLUSION: The City of Renton is fortunate to become one of three cities in Washington to leverage federal funds administered through the Washington State Department of Natural Resources for its Urban Tree Cover Assessment Project. Approval of the Interagency Agreement and Resolution at a total cost of $57,984 will provide valuable educational and planning information about Renton’s public and private urban tree cover. The City will be reimbursed $30,000 by the State of Washington after project completion. A consultant is expected to be hired for this project in November 2010.
