Council authorizes mayor to renew WRIA 8 interlocal agreement through 2035
Summary
The council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to sign a 10-year renewal of the Water Resource Inventory Area 8 interlocal agreement, continuing regional coordination on watershed planning and recovery.
The Lake Forest Park City Council voted unanimously on May 8 to authorize the mayor to sign a renewal of the Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 8 interlocal agreement extending participation from 2026 through 2035.
Mark Hoffman, community-development director, told the council the item had been discussed at prior meetings and staff recommended approval of the renewal. Jason Mobihel Kuntz, WRIA 8 recovery manager, previously briefed the council during the public process, Hoffman said.
The resolution (25‑2016) was moved, seconded and adopted by unanimous vote.
Why this matters: WRIA agreements organize regional planning and restoration activities tied to salmon recovery, watershed management and interjurisdictional coordination; renewing participation keeps Lake Forest Park engaged in regional watershed planning.
