SUBJECT:
King County Parks Property Tax Levy Agreement
ISSUE
Authorize the Mayor to sign an agreement with King County to receive Parks Property Tax Levy
funds for Parks & Recreation.
BACKGROUND
Every six years King County approaches King County residents seeking voter approval for a
property tax levy to support parks in King County. A portion of the levy funds are allocated to local
cities. Every six years, the City of Tukwila enters into an agreement with King County to receive and
utilize these funds. Historically, Tukwila has received approximately $60,000 annually from these
levies coming through a couple financial transfers each year. The previous six -year levy expired at
the end of 2019.
DISCUSSION
A new King County six -year property tax levy for 2020 through 2025 was approved by King
County voters in the fall of 2019. In order to receive funds from King County, the City needs to
enter into an agreement again. This levy is projecting a $100,000 annual increase in funding for
Tukwila.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Projected funds of approximately $160,000.00 annually for six years being transferred from King
County to the City of Tukwila for Parks and Recreation.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council Committee is being asked to consider this item for approval and send to the
Consent Agenda of the March 2, 2020 Regular Meeting.

PARKS PROPERTY TAX LEVY AGREEMENT
between
KING COUNTY & (CITY) cy T u k w d Ck
This Parks Property Tax Levy Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of this
day of , 2020, by and between KING COUNTY, a political subdivision of the
state of Washington (the "County") and the City of I t t kvv i C a State of
Washington municipal corporation ("CITY").
RECITALS
A. The County owns and operates a park system with over twenty-eight thousand (28,000) acres
of regional parks and open spaces, over one -hundred -seventy-five (175) miles of regional
trails, and two -hundred -fifteen (215) miles of backcountry trails. In addition, the County is
the provider of local parks in the rural area and is the transitional provider of local parks in the
urban incorporated areas.
B. Since 2003, on recommendation of the Metropolitan Parks Task Force and direction from the
County Executive and County Council, the County's Parks and Recreation Division has
focused on managing a system of regional parks, open spaces and trails and a limited set of
regional active recreation assets. Consistent with its role as a regional and local rural service
provider under Countywide Planning Policies and the State Growth Management Act, the
County has divested itself of local parks and facilities in urban unincorporated areas as these
areas incorporate or annex to cities.
C. On April 17, 2019, the King County Council adopted Ordinance 18890 which called for a
special election in accordance with RCW 29A.04.321 to authorize a property tax levy in excess
of the levy limitation contained in 84.55 RCW for a period of six (6) years for specified park
purposes.
D. On August 6, 2019, King County voters approved Proposition No. 1 Parks Levy that authorized
an additional six year property tax levy at a rate of $0.1832 in the first year, with subsequent
levies adjusted by inflation for the purpose of: maintaining and operating King County's open
space system; improving parks, recreation, access, and mobility in the King County open space
system by acquiring lands and continuing to develop regional trails; improving parks and trails
in and acquiring lands by metropolitan parks districts, towns, and cities in King County;
funding environmental education, maintenance, and conservation programs at the Woodland
Park Zoo; finding capital construction at the Seattle Aquarium; and funding for capital
improvements at publicly owned pools, for all King County residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings hereinafter set
forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

DATE:
February 24, 2020
SUBJECT:
Parks & Recreation Updated Capital Budget
ISSUE
Revising and updating the Parks & Recreation Capital Budget in response to the Parks,
Recreation, and Open Space Plan update being adopted in April.
BACKGROUND
The Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan update began in May 2019, and included the
following; months of strategic community engagement efforts, state of the parks system analysis,
service level comparisons, needs assessment, and culmination of a capital projects list with
associated priorities to address key needs identified by the community. The DRAFT PROS Plan is
under City Council review now and is slated for adoption by Ordinance on April 6, 2020, in order to
be eligible to pursue grant funding from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office
(RCO).
DISCUSSION
The Parks & Recreation section of the current City of Tukwila 2019 — 2024 Financial Planning
Model and Capital Improvement Program (CIP Budget) budget book has no capital funds allocated
to any specific projects in 2020. In response to the PROS Plan findings, staff updated the existing
2019-2024 CIP Budget plan to map out projects that will address key needs, identified by the
community, through the community engagement efforts of the PROS Plan. Updating the Parks &
Recreation section of the capital budget now will allow projects to begin in 2020 rather than waiting
for the next budget cycle which will postpone projects until 2021.
Four Parks & Recreation Capital Project Summary budget sheets (pages 29, 31, 36, and 40 of the
CIP Budget book) have been revised and updated to reflect the PROS Plan project list. The revised
pages are attached. Any and all capital project expenditures will be included in the annual year-end
budget amendment. Staff will review and update the capital budget again as part the regular
Biennial Budget process later in 2020.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The attached updated Capital Project Summary sheets project capital funding expenditures up to
$2,680,000 in 2020 to begin initial capital projects in response to the community's key needs
identified through the PROS Plan. Of the total $2.6M, Park Acquisition identifies $1,500,000 as
Proposed Grant; it is possible this may not happen in 2020. Staff wanted to be ready to respond in
a timely manner though, and be approved to apply for grant funding, if an opportunity to purchase a
key property to help meet the goal of a ten minute walk for all residents to a quality park presented
itself. Additionally, the Open Space Improvements budget sheet calls out applying for an RCO grant
for passive use development of the 116'h St open space. The deadline for that grant is May 2020.

CITY OF TUKWILA CAPITAL PROJECT SUMMARY
2020 to 2025
PROJECT: Open Space Improvements Project No. 91930102
DESCRIPTION: Development of new and future acquired properties and open spaces to meet community needs.
The city desires to provide equitable access to a quality park for all Tukwila residents. Developing existing, and
potential future acquired properities, into a quality park will help meet this goal. There are multiple open
JUSTIFICATION: spaces in the Tukwila Park System that are not promoted as public parks or supportive of public use for
various reasons (wetlands, steep slopes, vegetation, etc.). Various sites have developable opportunities that
would enable them to be promoted as open public use spaces and could help meet the needs of the
community while still maintaining the ecological benefits of preserved green space.
Many sites exist within the current Tukwila Park System with potential for more sites in the future
via the Park Acquisition plan, grants, and property donations. The recently acquired 116th Parcel in the
STATUS: Duwamish Neighborhood, boarders the Green River Trail, has 150ft of riverbank and needs preliminary site
demo work. A grant through the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) can be applied
for future passive use development; this is a 2-year grant cycle with applications due in May 2020.
MAINT. IMPACT: To be determined.
COMMENT: 1 % Municipal Arts Fund for City funded construction costs included. Project is on Park Impact Fee list @ 75%.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Services & Safety Committee AND
Planning & Economic Development Committee
FROM: Rick Still, Parks & Recreation Director
BY: Robert Eaton, Parks & Recreation Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: February 24, 2020
SUBJECT: Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Draft Plan Review and Final Adoption
ISSUE
Review, discussion, and adoption by ordinance of the 2020 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space
Plan.
BACKGROUND
An agency has a Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan for a number of reasons. I
helps to establish the parks and recreation needs of a community and identifies strategies to
meet those needs. It establishes a 6-year Capital Improvement Plan and provides policy and
standards to guide the department for the future. It also serves as the Open Space Plan which
is required for the City to be eligible for State and Federal grant funding. Staff is proposing to
adopt an updated PROS Plan in 2020 for the following reasons:
• The most recent PROS Plan was adopted in 2014 and expired in 2019.
• The PROS Plan was budgeted to be updated in 2019 according to the 2019 — 2024
Financial Planning Model and Capital Improvement Program.
• The PROS Plan serves as the Master Plan for Parks, Recreation, and Open Space. In
order to continue to qualify for Federal and State Grant Funding, this must be updated.
• Significant changes have occurred since the current PROS Plan was adopted in 2014,
including demographic, financial climate, service providers, and department staffing levels.
The plan will help to forecast future trends and their impact on parks and recreation.
• The PROS Plan evaluates the parks system, recreation programs, facilities, and events;
identifies underserved portions of the community; and provides recommendations and
funding strategies to help meet identified needs.
• The PROS Plan takes into account the City's Strategic Plan, Comprehensive Plan,
countywide planning policies, and the Growth Management Act.
The current 2014 — 2019 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan was adopted by
Ordinance Number 2207 on February 18, 2014 and amended by Ordinance Number 2573 on
May 7, 2018 (in conjunction with the Parks Impact Fees update). Staff have been working with a
consultant, MIG, since May 2019 to update the PROS Plan.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
On October 29, 2019, MIG presented an update to the Community Development and
Neighborhoods Council Committee on the PROS Plan process and accomplishments. The update
included community engagement efforts, needs assessment findings, and key challenges, barriers,
and potential opportunities. The 2019 CDN Committee provided valuable input on the plan
development.
At the December 4, 2019 Community Development and Neighborhoods Council Committee,
staff shared the top ten key needs identified through the community engagement process, along
with capital projects and priorities. The Council Committee reviewed, discussed, and provided
feedback to staff to help guide future decision making on capital projects and priorities that best
address the key needs.
The culmination of all the community and committee work is captured in the draft 2020 — 2025
PROS Plan, which is complete and open to the public for review and comment.
DISCUSSION
A draft version of the PROS Plan was made available to the public on Friday, February 14, 2020
for review and comment (Attachment A). The review period closes Sunday, March 1, 2020.
Concurrently, the draft PROS Plan was distributed to all Councilmembers. Staff are facilitating
review and discussion of the draft plan with both the Community Services & Safety and
Planning & Economic Development Council Committees. Additionally, there is a public hearing
scheduled for February 24, 2020 Committee of the Whole.
Once the review period closes, the consultant will update the plan and a final version will be
presented at the March 23, 2020 Committee of the Whole, and subsequent April 6, 2020
Regular Meeting for adoption by ordinance (Attachment B). The final plan will need to be
adopted at the April 6, 2020 Regular Meeting to be eligible to apply in this 2-year cycle for
potential future grant funding from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office
(RCO). If the plan is not adopted by that time, special permission will have to be pursued from
RCO to become eligible, however, it is not guaranteed.
Here is a summary of the review and adoption schedule for reference.
2/14 — Draft plan distributed to all Councilmembers
2/24 — CSS Committee draft plan review & feedback
2/24 — COW Public Hearing
3/2 — PED Committee draft plan review & feedback

Follow Up to Public Safety Plan Art Presentation
ISSUE
The City Council requested that staff provide the Community Services and Safety Committee
with suggestions on resolving the issues around the prospective murals located in the new Fire
Stations 51 and 52. In addition, staff would like to clarify information about the process for
public art moving forward.
DISCUSSION
Overall Approach to Public Safety Plan Art
The project team had the following approach to art associated with the Public Safety Plan:
• Ensure at least 1 % of the construction costs for each building to fund art in the buildings;
goals exceeded on all three buildings.
• Identify ways to maximize art opportunities to be community -led for the long term:
o Create spaces for physical art displays
o Create spaces for experiential art and events
• 1 % for art policy adopted by Council at the beginning of the projects, but the Municipal
Arts Plan was not yet complete; chose to put the 1 % into the buildings to honor Council's
intentions.
• Alignment with the Municipal Arts Plan once complete:
o "Intent: Decisions regarding use of public funds for art and culture will provide a
valance of project types and locations, based on the intent and vision of Tukwila
Arts.
■ Art at purposely selected civic buildings
■ Art and culture that highlight the particular places that make Tukwila
unique
■ Community engagement projects that emphasize the creative process
■ Community -wide culturally -based gatherings, events and performances."
o Tukwila International Boulevard focus area: plan indicates "art can give identify to
International Boulevard... bringing color and beauty to the street scape" and that
art can "bring color and beauty to International Boulevard."
o Community Events: "...shared, joyful experiences in park spaces, along the
river, or along Tukwila International Boulevard. Such events could be City led, or
community -based with City support... Instead of following models from
elsewhere, Tukwila could adapt models to serve its community needs."

Fire Station Murals
At the January 27 Committee of the Whole meeting the architects associated with the Justice
Center and Fire Stations presented on the Public Safety Plan's art program and how the City is
achieving the 1 % for art mandate. Concerns around gender and racial representation were
raised about the murals designed for the two fire stations. At the subsequent February 3
Regular Council meeting, additional concerns regarding these murals were voiced by residents
and a City staff member.
Staff recommends that the mural program be sent to the Tukwila Arts Commission for
discussion and ultimate decision on whether to accept or reject the mural program. This type of
decision is within the purview of the Commission. Due to timing, with the Arts Commission
meeting two days after this committee meeting, staff has already scheduled this item on the
Commission's agenda. Should the Committee not concur with this approach, staff will pull the
item from the Commission's agenda. In order to ensure transparency, the interested parties
who testified on this issue, as well as representatives from the Fire Department, have been
notified that the mural program is a likely agenda item for the Arts Commission at their February
26 meeting. Staff will follow up to let the interested parties know of the Committee's decision.
There is precedent of public agencies in the region rejecting a commissioned piece of art for a
variety of reasons. Accepting or rejecting an art concept, versus trying to make modifications to
the concept, is best practice. Staff does not recommend trying to alter the current concept of
the artwork.
Honorina Indiaenous Cultures
At the January 27 Committee of the Whole meeting, questions were asked about how the City
should appropriately recognize indigenous cultures. While not explicit in the arts presentation,
all three projects will contain recognition of the indigenous cultures that were in the area prior to
white settlers. At the Justice Center, such recognition will be integrated into the large maple
slab at the front door. At Fire Station 51, it will be included in the front lobby mural and in the
plaza area at Fire Station 52.
Programming Public Safety Plan Art Performances and Events
As stated above, one of the main approaches that the team took to the Public Safety Plan Art
program was to:
• Identify ways to maximize art opportunities that can be community -led for the long term:
o Create spaces for physical art displays
o Create spaces for experiential art and events
As the buildings come online and this approach is operationalized, policies will be critical to
ensure that art, performances and events located at the sites are inclusive. As such, staff is
currently developing policies on how the City selects art, vendors, performers and artists in an
equitable fashion. These policies are in draft form and the Arts Commission will be involved in
their review. As a result of the questions raised about the Fire Stations murals, staff now
recommends that once that policy has been drafted and reviewed by the Arts Commission that it
also go to the Equity and Social Justice Commission for review and comment.
Additionally, as a part of implementing the City's adopted Equity Policy, one of the four priorities
for 2020 is the development of an Equitable Outreach Toolkit. Goal 2 of the adopted Equity
Policy reads:
24
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 3
2. Community outreach and engagement is relevant, intentional, inclusive,
consistent and ongoing. The City often has important information to share with the
community, and often seeks dialogue with the community. The City will create a
community outreach and engagement toolkit to enable inclusive public engagement that
all departments will use when seeking community participation.
A subcommittee of the City's Equity Policy Implementation Committee (EPIC) is currently
working on drafting the toolkit. Once the draft is complete the toolkit (along with the other
products of the four Equity Policy priorities for 2020) will be presented to the Equity and Social
Justice Commission for review and comment. The final toolkit will then be used when
evaluating the City's engagement around art, events, performances and vendors at the new
Justice Center and Fire Stations, as well as other sites programmed by the City.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is seeking the Committee's concurrence to send the Fire Station mural program to the Arts
Commission.
