3.  The Bureau of Environmental Services Watershed Revegetation Program provides revegetation services within the region.

4.  High priority projects for the Watershed Revegetation Program include much needed work in the Willamette River Watershed.

5.  There is no funding or in-kind match requirement by this funder.

NOW THEREFORE, The Council directs:

a.  The Mayor is hereby authorized to request on behalf of the City of Portland to submit a grant application for revegetation services to Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation in the amount of $12,267.

Section 2. The Council declares that an emergency exists because to delay accepting these funds would deprive citizens of the benefits these grant funds will provide; therefore this ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage by the Council.
