The South Park neighborhood, which is home to low-income, immigrant, refugee, and unsheltered people and is 74 percent people of color, has experienced previous flooding, as well as environmental and health damage due to historical inequities and industrial contamination. The South Park neighborhood provides the bulk of the 6,400 jobs that are part of Seattle's Duwamish manufacturing/industrial center. The King County Flood Control Zone District is a quasi-municipal corporation of the State of Washington, authorized to provide funding and support for flood risk reduction projects within King County. Pursuant to Seattle Ordinance 127057, the City Council authorized the General Manager and Chief Executive Officer of Seattle Public Utilities (SPU), or designee, to enter into an interlocal agreement funding flood preparedness and emergency response in South Park and, accordingly, the King County Flood Control Zone District and The City of Seattle entered into an interlocal agreement entitled Interlocal Agreement for the South Park Interim Flooding Preparedness and Response Program between the King County Flood Control Zone District and The City of Seattle (Interlocal Agreement). The King County Flood Control Zone District and SPU desire to amend the Interlocal Agreement to incorporate additional funding allocation from the King County Flood Control Zone District to SPU for SPU's costs and expenses for the flood preparedness and emergency response in South Park. Therefore, Be it ordained by The City of Seattle as follows: Section 1.

Section 2. Additionally, the General Manager and Chief Executive Officer of Seattle Public Utilities, or designee, is further authorized to execute, for and on behalf of The City of Seattle, amendments to the Interlocal Agreement that increase the amount of funding that the King County Flood Control Zone District may provide to Seattle Public Utilities for the costs and expenses for the flood preparedness and emergency response in South Park, provided that such grant of authority is subject to the existence of appropriation authority, in the applicable Seattle Public Utilities budget control level or levels of the Adopted City Budget (including supplements to such budget) for the year or years in which Seattle Public Utilities enters into such amendment with the King County Flood Control Zone District. Section 3. Any act pursuant to the authority of this ordinance taken prior to its effective date is ratified and confirmed.
