BACKGROUND The Parks Department has a new master plan, the "Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan This Plan was adopted June 23, 2008. Levels of service were not detailed in the adopted plan and need to be identified. DISCUSSION Level of service standards need to be identified for the various types of parks. The standards reflect the current state of parks and open space (what we have now) based on the current city population. The LOS standards can be used to plan and project what amount of parks and opens space and what capital facilities will be needed based on anticipated future growth (approximately 6,000 new residents through 2022). The proposal is that the City continue to use the existing parks LOS and to apply it to future growth. The draft Level of Service standards are attached as Exhibit A. RECOMMENDATION Adopt Ordinance which establishes level of service standards for parks and open space and amends Ordinance 2207 adopting the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan to incorporate the LOS standards. Attachment: Exhibit A: Parks LOS Standards Page 2 FOOTNOTE: FUTURE CONSIDERATION BY COUNCIL The Administration is evaluating new sources of revenue for the City. One such source is "impact fees" through which new growth helps to pay for capital facilities necessitated due to the new growth. The Growth Management Act allows cities to adopt impact fees for parks services, for fire services and for schools, in addition to the traffic impact fees the City has already enacted. Mayor Haggerton's goal is to analyze options and to adopt Parks and Fire impact fees by the end of 2008. There are two steps that need to be done before impact fees can be considered. The first step is to have LOS standards for both Parks and Fire. The adoption of Parks LOS standards as recommended above will accomplish this first step for Parks. The Finance and Safety Committee is addressing adoption of LOS for Fire. Both of these items will come to COW on August 25 for discussion and public hearings. The second step needed before impact fees can be considered is an emergency Comprehensive Plan amendment to add "Fire" and the adopted LOS for Parks and Fire to the Capital Facilities Element of the Plan. Staff will return to CAP with the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment on September 22. After these two steps are complete, then a review and discussion of impact fees will begin. Staff will have a draft impact fee Ordinance and bring it to Finance Safety Committee for a recommendation (October 21) and to Community Affairs Parks Committee for a courtesy review (October 27). The draft impact fee Ordinance is scheduled for a COW review and public hearing on November 10 with a Council decision to adopt or not adopt anticipated on November 17. The list of proposed Parks projects which might be funded through impact fees that was included with the CAP Agenda Packet on August 11 has been removed; it will be reviewed and brought back to CAP as part of the draft impact fee ordinance.

PRESENTATIONS No presentations. II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. Parks Plan Level of Service Staff is seeking full Council approval to amend Ordinance Number 2207 by which Council recently adopted the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan (Plan). The amendment will incorporate Level of Service (LOS) Standards for parks into the Plan. Level of Service Standards for parks was not detailed in the recently adopted Plan, and need to be established in order to identify, plan for and project parks and open space needs based on anticipated growth of the City. Additionally, an established Level of Service is a tool that we will need to utilize in future grant applications and communications with developers. Lisa Verner explained that proposed LOS for parks included a recommendation that the City continue providing its current level of service growth occurs. Population growth projections were provided by the Plan consultant based on King County's Buildable Land Study. Commercial usage has also been factored into these projections. Staff provided clarification that this amendment does not create impact fees; it merely establishes Level of Service Standards for parks to be included in the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan. Additionally, approval of the amendment does not indicate that the City will implement impact fees; however, it will be utilized as a tool for official future consideration regarding impact fees. The Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan suggests a number of revenue sources for consideration, including the implementation of impact fees. Bill Arthur inquired about the possibility of Fort Dent becoming a Public Facilities District and its effect on potential impact fees. Staff responded that Fort Dent could still be considered a regional park; however regional park needs can also be met outside of City boundaries. If an established district had its own taxing authority, impact fees allow for recalculation and refunding when appropriate. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO AUGUST 25 COW FOR DISCUSSION. B. Rental Housing Licensing Staff is seeking Committee direction to prepare a draft ordinance establishing a rental housing licensing program. A final recommendation to implement or approve a program will not be made at this meeting. Committee members were provided with a brief history and background of City and Council interest in a rental licensing program. Staff presented several broad policies that require Committee direction in order to draft an ordinance, and discussed the respective staff recommendations for each.
