The Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department organized and conducted several public workshops and forums with the assistance of the Tukwila Parks Commission. Public surveys were filled out by residents, as well as a mail out/phone survey completed by registered voters. The updated plan is very comprehensive and goes into detail about inventory, forecast demand, costs and implementation. New to the plan will be the issue of Park Impact Fees for your consideration. The new Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan has been presented to the Community Affairs and Parks Committee for review, followed by continued review at the May 27 Committee of the Whole meeting. Once the draft review is complete, a public hearing will be scheduled, and the plan will be available on the City's website. An adopted open space plan is required by the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office in order to qualify for state and federal grant funding. It is the goal of the Parks and Recreation Department to have the plan officially adopted by ordinance at the June 16 Regular Meeting. Please begin review of the plan and be prepared for discussion at the May 27 Committee of the Whole meeting. Cc.

PRESENTATIONS No presentations. II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. Minor Home Repair Program for 2009 Staff is seeking Council authorization to submit the 2009 Community Development Block Grant application requesting $75,000. The City's application proposes to continue the Human Services Minor Home Repair Program for Tukwila as well as the fiscal management of similar programs for the cities of SeaTac and Des Moines. As with the 2008 application, incorporation of three cities into one application makes our request more competitive against other projects. The funding for this program is not a guarantee. Evie explained that this program predominantly serves the lowest income homeowners, allowing repairs that may not normally be completed. The program assistance generally falls into one of two categories, preventative maintenance or repairs. Additionally, the program only serves single family homeowners. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MAY 12 COW FOR DISCUSSION. B. Parks and Onen Space Plan Bruce Fletcher stated that staff had set an aggressive timeline for the review and adoption of the new Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan due to a grant deadline with the Washington State Recreation Conservation Office [RCO; formerly known as the Office of Interagency Committee (IAC)]. However, it has been determined that it would be most beneficial to the City and the Plan to approach the review a bit slower. Staff has requested a two month adopted plan extension from the RCO which is currently due June 1. A draft plan was not available for distribution to the Committee. Staff should have a draft document to the Committee for review within a week and a half. This item will return to the Community Affairs and Parks Committee for discussion on May 12. Bruce discussed two items in the draft plan including park impact fees and results of a mail out/phone back survey. RETURN TO MAY 12 COMMUNITY AFFAIRS AND PARKS COMMITTEE. C. Renewal of Sign Code Moratorium Ordinance The current moratorium on animated and electronic signs will expire on May 26, 2008. Staff is requesting that the moratorium be extended for an additional 180 days due to the recent formation of the Sign Code Advisory Committee. This will be the second renewal of the moratorium (see Council minutes dated 06/040/7 and Community Affairs and Parks Committee minutes dated 10/23/07). UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.

Recreation and Onen Space Plan Staff distributed the draft Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan at the meeting. Bruce reported that the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) approved the Parks and Recreation adopted plan extension request with a new deadline of July 10 (original deadline was June 1). This will provide additional time for this item to proceed through the Committee, COW and Regular meeting processes. If staff cannot proceed with review of the plan in time, grant applications will be delayed until 2009. Tom Beckwith, project consultant, provided a brief overview of the draft Plan through review of the table of contents. In summary, Mr. Beckwith shared that for the size of Tukwila, the City's inventory of parkland and recreational facilities is relatively complete (i.e.: we have a swimming pool, community center, skate park and other such amenities and parks). Additionally, the City is the primary provider of recreational and park services (verses other entities such as the YMCA). Mr. Beckwith provided a general explanation of the Growth Management Act (GMA) and its impact on park, recreation and open space plans. The Act states that you cannot pursue something if it is not in your plan and what is being pursued must be financially feasible. An overview of possible strategic financial options was also discussed. These options include: Growth Impact Fees (GIP), Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) and a Property Tax Levy (PTLevy). The Plan includes several other recommendations for sustainability and continued growth. It takes into ,munity Affairs Parks Committee Minutes Mav 12.2008 Paae 2 account walkable routes, transportation barriers and the holistic picture (consideration of both school and park sites). Mr. Beckwith also passed out a comparison of park impact fees among Washington State cities. Committee Chair Hernandez recommended that staff return to Committee after members have had an opportunity to review the Plan. Bruce suggested distributing drafts to full Council immediately so that full Council also has ample time to review the Plan. Committee Chair Hernandez concurred with his suggestion.

Codiga Park Undate Parks staff briefly updated the Committee on the current status of development planning for Codiga Park since the Public Works Department and Army Corps of Engineers have completed their portion of park improvements. Landscape design of the area is complete and staff expects to go out to bid for the project within the next couple weeks with anticipation of a summer construction.
