PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. RCW Chapter 41.56 requires the Port of Seattle to collectively bargain wages, hours and working conditions with the exclusive bargaining representative designated by the employees.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. A. DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSISTENCY OF THE PROJECT WITH:
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. Explain why the project is needed, including the scope and appropriate detail on the project’s uniqueness and complexity. Describe specific deficiencies such as pavement cracking, edge xxxxxxxx, surface deterioration, substandard geometrics, etc. Include and separately identify any 100% locally funded components of the project that are part of the overall improvement.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. (iii) Project Sketch (if necessary)
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. 1. Has any planning and/or investigative work within the project area been completed to □✔ Yes □ No date? (i.e. Flow monitoring, interior home inspections, sewer CCTV, analysis of flooding/backup issues in the area, etc.) If “Yes,” was the work completed through a previous PPII funding agreement? Ƞ✔ Yes □ No If the answer is “Yes” to both questions, describe the work completed and cite report names and funding agreement reference numbers the work was completed under. If work was completed independent of the PPII program, included the report(s) with application in electronic format and list the name of the report in this section. In 2017 the Village as part of its Investigative Work Plan (Funding Agreement 03) performed water testing and closed-circuit television inspection on 82 properties (41 properties in the Wrayburn Road Area and 41 properties in the Terrace Drive Area). This work was completed by Visu-Sewer, Inc. and summarized in a report titled "2017 Private Lateral Water Injection and Televising". External property inspections were also performed to investigate drainage and grading issues. These external inspections were completed by our appointed Village Engineer, Ruekert & Xxxxxx, Inc. In 2019 a proposed lateral rehabilitation work plan was submitted but not approved due to concerns regarding lateral CIPP lining.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. A. Describe the project components, particularly focusing on the concrete adaptation activities of the project, and how these activities contribute to climate resilience. Component 1- Relevant institutional structures including the National Water Authority, strengthened for mainstreaming CCA into water resources management as well as into national planning, public investment - budgeting and decision- making processes (at various scales) The recent approval of the Water Law22 and the National Plan Law23 in Honduras represents a unique opportunity to strengthen capacities for mainstreaming climate change into the country‟s inter-sectoral policy framework. However, despite the country‟s significant exposure to climate change risks and high vulnerability, no provisions have been made for mainstreaming climate change considerations into these norms or into related development planning process. Therefore the project will work at two levels: under Output 1.1 at the national level, and taking full advantage of the opportunities created by the recent approval of both these Laws, it will ensure that these legal frameworks are harmonized in terms of mainstreaming climate change adaptation issues. Jointly, these norms will be pivotal in getting other line ministries and sub-national actors 22 In December 2009 Honduras approved a new national Water Law that provides the framework for responding to the challenges faced by this sector. Under the Law, a new Water Authority has the mandate over water resources management, but also, as the Text of the Water Law states: the Water Authority has a mandate over water, ecosystems and their (Natural) Resources. The Water Authority, which operates under the auspices of XXXXX (Secretariat for Natural Resources), merged two government departments: the Meteorological department and the Water Resources department. A National Water Resources Management Institute will underpin it as a technical body charged with provision of scientific information and policy briefs for the implementation of the Water Law. 23 In February 2010, the Law for the National Plan was approved which divides Honduras into six regions based on the main river basins in the country. (Tegucigalpa district is under the 4th Region and the 11th sub-region). According to the Law, a Regional Development Committee must be created in each region. These regional committees incorporate both public and private actors, and are tasked with the elaboration of a regional developme...
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. Approval of this lease will allow the Port to generate revenue from a vacated unit, and over the term of the lease earn significantly higher revenues than the previous bookstore concept. Specific benefits of this agreement: • Secures an exceptional financial commitment by Xxxxxx Group. • Commits a financially stable and experienced operator in a local ACDBE (Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) joint venture partnership. • Offers a unique marketplace concept which will generate high revenue in a large footprint, and become the anchor retail location for the Central Terminal. • Proposed architectural plans allow for a more customer-flow friendly open corner at the confluence of Concourses A and B and Central Terminal.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. Approval of this lease will allow the Port to stem the loss of revenue and the unsightly appearance of a vacant concessions unit as quickly as possible, and over the term of the lease earn significantly higher revenues than under the previous tenant. Approval of this lease also will add much-needed food and beverage service to the front portion of Concourse C, where there currently is no food and beverage offering to meet the needs of Horizon Air passengers. The proposed tenant is a local small business, which furthers the Port’s goal of increasing small business participation.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. Aquaculture is important to Bangladesh and is included in various national planning documents; accordingly the sector is receiving significant priority by the Government. Compliance with WTO/SPS requirements continues to be a key element in delivering poverty reduction and economic growth through trade. The objective of the project is to improve international market access for shrimp and prawn products originating from the small-scale farming sector in Bangladesh. This would be achieved through building the capacity of aquaculture industry stakeholders in Bangladesh and implementing international standards for aquaculture products, in particular addressing the issue of antimicrobial contamination and residues in shrimp/prawn products. Particular attention is directed towards the development of “bottom of the pyramid” solutions for small-scale producers in rural aquaculture communities to implement SPS standards combined with certification. In particular, the project will assist 800 small-scale farmers to increase their access to markets and support over 3000 people (family members) to achieve a better household income. Once the farmers achieve increased market access, many other people along the value chain will also benefit. The project is also intended to assist public and private stakeholders and shrimp and prawn value chain partners to design and develop tools and policies that will bring, particularly, small- scale farmers into SPS improvement schemes, thus contributing to national development goals for poverty alleviation and economic growth. This will be a highly complementary and innovative approach for STDF, with benefits beyond Bangladesh to other major aquaculture producers. The project will develop and implement BMPs through a cluster management approach in Bangladesh with a view to increase market access through improved compliance with international trade requirements. BMPs in the aquaculture context outline norms for responsible farming of aquatic animals. BMPs are management practices, the implementation of which is voluntary. Promoting the adoption of BMPs by small-scale farmers is not simple. Dedicated teams of field workers need to work with farmers on a daily basis to bring about attitudinal changes in the small-scale farmers and wean them from preconceived ideas and concepts and conventional practices that are not conducive to the environment, sustainability and food safety. This is a slow process and takes lot of time and resource inv...
