Flood Control District approves invoices, including $5.78 million payment to King County division

The King County Flood Control District Executive Committee approved vendor invoices at its May 7 meeting after staff presented an itemized summary.

Michelle Clark, the district executive director, reviewed an updated invoice summary and told the committee she had "reviewed all of the invoices to ensure that the work was completed and that the invoices are within our contracted amount." Clark read line items from the packet: a $5,782,051.61 charge from King County's Water and Land Resources Division for February work (including midyear budget preparation and year-end closeout); a $149 monthly web-hosting fee to Andy Sites; a $31,100.50 invoice from Francis and Company for financial accounting and work with the State Auditor; $8,891.54 to Inslee Best for legal services; $11,324 to Lund Consulting for Lower Green River Corridor planning and owner's-rep work; $3,473.75 to a vendor listed for work on the district's flood-ready brochure; $45,389.31 to Parametrix for technical work on the Lower Green River corridor process; $2,364.70 to the Washington State Auditor's Office for audit services; $25 to the Washington State Department of Retirement Services; and $2,972.50 to Wallace Wilkins for executive coaching.

Supervisor DeShawn Quinn moved approval of the invoices. The chair called for objections and, after no objections were raised, the committee approved the invoices by voice vote. The clerk recorded that the ayes had it and the invoices were approved as presented.

Clark recommended approval once the committee had a quorum; members agreed to move the item when the quorum was achieved and then approved the invoices.
