King City council OKs IGA with Metro to secure $417,798 for parks local-share
Summary
The council approved Resolution R-2026-11 authorizing the city manager to execute an intergovernmental agreement with Metro to preserve King City's $417,798 local-share allocation for parks, trails and habitat projects; approval keeps the funding available while staff evaluates eligible projects and must submit a project by June 1, 2028.
The City of King City voted unanimously Tuesday to authorize the city manager to sign an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Metro that preserves the city's local-share allocation from Metro's 2019 parks-and-nature bond.
City staff said the allocation to King City is $417,798 and that approving the resolution does not commit the city to any particular project. "Approval of this resolution does not commit the city to a specific project," Vinny, the city manager, said during his presentation, adding the IGA "preserve[s] access to the allocated funding while staff continues to evaluate potential projects." Staff noted the city must identify and submit an eligible project to Metro by June 1, 2028 and that Metro will require periodic progress updates until a project is selected.
Councilors asked whether the allocation is guaranteed or competitive. Staff replied that the allocation is population-based and the funds are earmarked for the city: "Because the money was allocated specifically for the city Yes. Based off of our population," one council member said, and the city manager confirmed the allocation is assigned to King City.
Councilor [motion maker] moved to approve Resolution R-2026-11; the motion was seconded and carried on a roll-call vote of 6-0. The council recorded the outcome as a formal authorization for the city manager to execute the IGA so King City will not forfeit the allocation while staff develops project options.
Next steps: staff will correct minor typos on the final document for signature and continue discussions with Metro and potential project partners, including possible matches from state or federal grants.
