Flood Control District reads integrated floodplain management motion into record, defers action until new board members arrive

On Sept. 9 the King County Flood Control District read into the record Motion FCD25-03, which would declare the district's commitment to integrated floodplain management, multimodal and multi‑benefit projects, principles of environmental stewardship, equity and environmental justice, and would establish a worst‑first paradigm for capital project prioritization. Board members described the motion as foundational to how the district prioritizes projects.

Chair Reagan Dunn and other supervisors noted the district is undergoing a board transition with two new members expected to join by late November. Given that transition the board decided to defer formal action on the motion until the incoming members are in place so they can participate in the discussion and any vote. The motion was entered into the record for the public and for the budget process but no roll call or vote occurred on Sept. 9.

District staff and supervisors characterized the subject as significant because it frames the district's methodology for distributing capital funds, but the board took no formal action and directed that the item return for consideration after new members are seated.
