BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

        Sec. 1.  Section 204, chapter 12, Laws of 1989 1st ex. sess. (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:

          FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

          Grays Harbor dredging (88-3-006)

          The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations:

          (1) The appropriation is provided solely for the state's share of costs for Grays Harbor dredging, dike construction, bridge relocation, and related expenses.

          (2) Expenditure of moneys from this appropriation is contingent on the authorization of $40,000,000 and appropriation of at least $13,000,000 from the United States army corps of engineers and the authorization of at least $10,000,000 from the local government ((funds being provided)) for the project.  Up to half the local government contribution may be comprised of property and in-kind contributions if approved by the army corps of engineers.  State funds shall be disbursed at a rate not to exceed one dollar for every four dollars of federal funds expended by the army corps of engineers.

          (3) Expenditure of moneys from this appropriation is contingent on a cost-sharing arrangement and the execution of a local cooperation agreement between the Port of Grays Harbor and the Army corps of engineers pursuant to Public Law 99-662, the federal water resources development act of 1986, whereby the corps of engineers will construct the project as authorized by that federal act.

          (4) ((The Port of Grays Harbor shall make the best possible effort to acquire additional project funding from sources other than those in subsection (2) of this section.  Any money, up to $10,000,000 provided from sources other than those in subsection (2) of this section, shall be used to reimburse or replace state building construction account money.)) In the event the project cost is reduced, any resulting reduction or reimbursement of nonfederal costs realized by the Port of Grays Harbor shall be shared proportionally with the state.
