BUSINESS AGENDA <br />A. 10-Minute Walk Grant Update <br />Staff updated the Committee on the status of the 10-Minute Walk grant agreement, which was <br />last presented in April. The 10-Minute Walk grant is $40,000 in funding from the National <br />Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) to be used to reduce barriers to parks in underserved <br />communities. Tukwila is just one of twelve cities to receive this grant and is piloting a project to <br />test community engagement methods around development of a park in the park desert around <br />South 146th Street. The pilot project will be used to inform the PROS plan renewal and other park <br />development activities. Committee members expressed support for the project. DISCUSSION <br />ONLY. <br />II. MISCELLANEOUS <br />Committee members and staff reviewed the 2018 Committee work plan, clarifying timeline and <br />details where needed. Staff will update the document prior to the next review. Staff also provided <br />an overview of current development activity in the City. <br />Councilmember Idan asked about the policy requiring City staff to obtain Committee approval to <br />apply for grants, and wondered if it could be streamlined. The Capital Improvement Program <br />policies direct this practice which staff has typically applied to all grant pursuits. Chair Kruller stated <br />that she likes the opportunity to learn about those activities. Staff will provide a copy of the policy <br />to Councilmember Idan. <br />Adjourned 6:21 p.m. <br />Committee Chair Approval <br />Minutes by LH, Reviewed by NH <br />
