Resolution 06-24
Our organization has reviewed the sample RCO Grant Agreement on the Recreation and Conservation
Office’s WEB SITE at: https://rco.wa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/SampleProjAgreement.pdf. We
understand and acknowledge that if offered an agreement to sign in the future, it will contain an
indemnification and legal venue stipulation and other terms and conditions substantially in the form
contained in the sample Agreement and that such terms and conditions of any signed Agreement shall
be legally binding on the sponsor if our representative/agent enters into an Agreement on our behalf.
The Office reserves the right to revise the Agreement prior to execution.
Our organization acknowledges and warrants, after conferring with its legal counsel, that its authorized
representative(s)/agent(s) have full legal authority to act and sign on behalf of the organization for their
assigned role/document.
Grant assistance is contingent on a signed Agreement. Entering into any Agreement with the Office is
purely voluntary on our part.
Our organization understands that grant policies and requirements vary depending on the grant
program applied to, the grant program and source of funding in the Agreement, the characteristics of
the project, and the characteristics of our organization.
Our organization further understands that prior to our authorized representative(s)/agent(s) executing
any of the documents listed above, the RCO may make revisions to its sample Agreement and that such
revisions could include the indemnification and the legal venue stipulation. Our organization accepts the
legal obligation that we shall, prior to execution of the Agreement(s), confer with our authorized
representative(s)/agent(s) as to any revisions to the project Agreement from that of the sample
Agreement. We also acknowledge and accept that if our authorized representative(s)/agent(s) executes
the Agreement(s) with any such revisions, all terms and conditions of the executed Agreement shall be
conclusively deemed to be executed with our authorization.
Any grant assistance received will be used for only direct eligible and allowable costs that are reasonable
and necessary to implement the project(s) referenced above.
[for Recreation and Conservation Funding Board Grant Programs Only] If match is required for the grant,
we understand our organization must certify the availability of match at least one month before funding
approval. In addition, our organization understands it is responsible for supporting all non-cash
matching share commitments to this project should they not materialize.
Our organization acknowledges that if it receives grant funds managed by the Office, the Office will pay
us on only a reimbursement basis. We understand reimbursement basis means that we will only request
payment from the Office after we incur grant eligible and allowable costs and pay them. The Office may
also determine an amount of retainage and hold that amount until all project deliverables, grant reports,
or other responsibilities are complete.
Our organization acknowledges that any property acquired with grant
assistance must be dedicated for the purposes of the grant in perpetuity unless otherwise agreed to in
writing by our organization and the Office. We agree to dedicate the property in a signed “Deed of
Right” for fee acquisitions, or an “Assignment of Rights” for other than fee acquisitions (which
documents will be based upon the Office’s standard versions of those documents), to be recorded on
the title of the property with the county auditor. Our organization acknowledges that any property

acquired in fee title must be immediately made available to the public unless otherwise provided for in
policy, the Agreement, or authorized in writing by the Office Director.
Our organization acknowledges that any property owned by our
organization that is developed, renovated, enhanced, or restored with grant assistance must be
dedicated for the purpose of the grant in perpetuity unless otherwise allowed by grant program policy,
or Office in writing and per the Agreement or an amendment thereto.
Our organization acknowledges that any property not owned by our
organization that is developed, renovated, enhanced, or restored with grant assistance must be
dedicated for the purpose of the grant as required by grant program policies unless otherwise provided
for per the Agreement or an amendment thereto.
Our organization certifies the following: the Project does not conflict with the Puget
Sound Action Agenda developed by the Puget Sound Partnership under RCW 90.71.310.
This resolution/authorization is deemed to be part of the formal grant application to the Office.
Our organization warrants and certifies that this resolution/authorization was properly and lawfully
adopted following the requirements of our organization and applicable laws and policies and that our
organization has full legal authority to commit our organization to the warranties, certifications,
