ISSUE
Washington State Legislature passed Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill (ESSB) 5967 during the
2009 session. The key provisions of ESSB 5967 require that by January 1, 2010, local parks
officials adopt non discrimination policies to ensure gender equity. The attached policy meets
these provisions.
BACKGROUND
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to the 1964 Civil Rights Act is a federal statute
prohibiting sex discrimination in education programs that receive federal financial assistance.
Nearly all educational institutions receive federal funds and are therefore required to comply
with Title IX.
In 1975, Washington adopted its own Title IX legislation RCW 28A.640.010, which prohibits
inequality in the educational opportunities afforded to women and girls at all levels of public
schools in Washington State.
RECOMMENDATION
Information Only
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
Until the passage of ESSB 5967, neither of the above extended protection to opportunities in
community athletic programs. Athletic opportunities offered in community athletic programs
provide innumerable benefits to participants, including better physical and psychological health,
responsible social behaviors, and enhanced interpersonal skills. ESSB 5967 requires cities to
adopt a policy that prohibits discrimination against any person on the basis of sex in the
operation, conduct, and administration of community athletic programs; to publish such policies;
to disseminate such policies to third parties that sign agreements and /or contracts to use
community athletic fields; and to publish the name and address and phone number of the
person or persons responsible for implementing the non discrimination policy.
DISCUSSION
Policy development on this topic came about through training via the Washington Recreation
and Parks Association. This policy and the accompanying language have been reviewed by the
City Attorney, City Administrator, and falls in line with other municipal park and recreation
departments.
The "informational language" has already been implemented into our Rental Contracts for
athletic facilities. We are working to implement the language into the Department's webpage,
our Rental Information Packets, the next edition of the Recreation Brochure, and all relevant
and appropriate promotional material.

By Senate Government Operations Elections (originally sponsored by
Senators Kohl Welles, Fairley, Fraser, McAuliffe, and Kline)
1 AN ACT Relating to prohibiting unfair practices in public community
2 athletics programs by prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex;
3 adding new sections to chapter 49.60 RCW; adding a new section to
4 chapter 35.21 RCW; adding a new section to chapter 35.61 RCW; adding a
5 new section to chapter 35A.21 RCW; adding a new section to chapter
6 36.01 RCW; adding a new section to chapter 36.68 RCW; adding a new
7 section to chapter 36.69 RCW; and creating a new section.
8 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
9 NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds and declares:
10 On June 23, 1972, President Richard Nixon signed into law Title IX
11 of the Education Amendments of 1972 to the 1964 Civil Rights Act. This
12 landmark legislation provides that: "No person in the United States
13 shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be
14 denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any
15 education program or activity receiving Federal financial
16 assistance...." Title IX has expanded opportunities for males as well
17 as females in educational programs and activities, including ensuring
18 access to athletic opportunities for girls and women in educational
19 institutions and to male and female staff to coaching and athletics
p. 1 ESSB 5967.PL
1 administrative positions in educational institutions. The dramatic
2 increases in participation rates at both the high school and college
3 levels since Title IX was passed show that when doors are opened to
4 women and girls, they will participate.
5 Further, ensuring equality in the state of Washington, the
6 legislature passed an amendment to the state Constitution, ratified by
7 the voters in November 1972, providing "Equality of rights and
8 responsibilities under the law shall not be denied or abridged on
9 account of sex." In 1975, Washington continued to be at the forefront
10 of this issue by adopting legislation that established our own
11 statutory version of the federal Title IX law that prohibited
12 "inequality in the educational opportunities afforded women and girls
13 at all levels of the public schools in Washington state."
14 Athletic opportunities provide innumerable benefits to
15 participants, including greater academic success, better physical and
16 psychological health, responsible social behaviors, and enhanced
17 interpersonal skills. Athletic scholarships make it possible for some
18 young people to attend college. The Washington state legislature,
19 recognizing the importance of full participation in athletics, has
20 passed numerous bills directed at achieving equity and eliminating
21 discrimination in intercollegiate athletics in the state's institutions
22 of higher education.
23 Despite advances in educational settings and efforts by some local
24 agencies to expand opportunities in community athletics programs,
25 discrimination still exists that limits these opportunities. It is the
26 intent of the legislature to expand and support equal participation in
27 athletics programs, and provide all sports programs equal access to
28 facilities administered by cities, towns, counties, metropolitan park
29 districts, park and recreation service areas, or park and recreation
30 districts.
31 Nothing in this act is intended to affect the holding in the
32 Washington state supreme court's ruling in Darrin v. Gould, 85 Wn.2d
33 859, 540 P.2d 882 (1975) and its progeny that held it is not acceptable
34 to discriminate in contact sports on the basis of sex.
35 NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. (1) No city, town, county, or district may
36 discriminate against any person on the basis of sex in the operation,
37 conduct, or administration of community athletics programs for youth or
ESSB 5967.PL p. 2
1 adults. A third party receiving a lease or permit from a city, town,
2 county, district, or a school district, for a community athletics
3 program also may not discriminate against any person on the basis of
4 sex in the operation, conduct, or administration of community athletics
5 programs for youth or adults.
6 (2) The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this
7 section.
8 (a) "Community athletics program" means any athletic program that
9 is organized for the purposes of training for and engaging in athletic
10 activity and competition and that is in any way operated, conducted,
11 administered, or supported by a city, town, county, district, or school
12 district other than those offered by the school and created solely for
13 the students by the school.
14 (b) "District" means any metropolitan park district, park and
15 recreation service area, or park and recreation district.
16 NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. (1) By January 1, 2010, each city, town,
17 county, or district operating a community athletics program or issuing
18 permission to a third party for the operation of such program on its
19 facilities shall adopt a policy that specifically prohibits
20 discrimination against any person on the basis of sex in the operation,
21 conduct, or administration of community athletics programs for youth or
22 adults.
23 (2) It is the responsibility of each city, town, county, or
24 district operating a community athletics program or issuing permission
25 to a third party for the operation of such program on its facilities to
26 publish and disseminate this policy. At a minimum, the
27 nondiscrimination policy should be included in any publication that
28 includes information about the entity's own athletics programs, or
29 about obtaining a permit for operating athletics programs and on the
30 appropriate city, town, county, or district web site.
31 (3) School districts issuing permission to a third party for the
32 operation of a community athletics program on its facilities shall also
33 follow the provisions of this section but may modify and use existing
34 school district policies and procedures to the extent that is possible.
35 Nothing in this section may be construed to require school districts to
36 monitor compliance, investigate complaints, or otherwise enforce school
37 district policies as to third parties using school district facilities.
p. 3 ESSB 5967.PL
1 (4) Every city, town, county, or district covered by this section
2 should also publish the name, office address, and office telephone
3 number of the employee or employees responsible for its efforts to
4 comply with and carry out its responsibilities under this act.

BY: Kimberly Matej, Legislative Analyst
CC: Steve Lancaster, City Administrator
Shawn Hunstock, Finance Director
DATE: January 19, 2010
SUBJECT: Pre Retreat Budget Review
City of Tukwila
City Counc
As Council President, I will be working with the Finance Director and Legislative Analyst to prepare a
draft agenda for the 2010 Annual Council Retreat. I anticipate having a draft agenda to the Council
sometime during the last week of January /first week of February, and that the majority of the Retreat
will focus on discussion of the budget.
Per Council discussion at the January 11 COW, Council Committees will conduct detailed review of
the 2009 -10 Biennial Budget document in preparation for the 2010 Annual Council Retreat.
Council Committees have each been assigned portions of the budget to review over the course of
three consecutive meetings. The review schedule for the Community Affairs Parks Committee is
included at the end of this memo. The Committee can choose to move at a faster pace, if desired by
its members.
The Committee review process, as discussed at the January 11 COW, is outlined below. It is
intended to assist the full Council in considering potential program alternatives, expense /capital
reductions and /or new revenue opportunities in response to the severity of the City's budget crisis.
Committee Review Process
Utilizing the 2009 -10 Biennial Budget document, review the pages assigned to the Committee
as outlined below.
Committee member review, understanding and familiarity of the assigned budget items should
be thorough enough that the three Committee members feel comfortable serving as the
Council experts for discussion of the appropriate items during the Retreat.
As mentioned above, it is the intent of the Committee review process to prepare Committee
members with adequate knowledge of assigned sections so that they can assist the rest of the
Council in a meaningful discussion of the items at the Retreat.
Department directors and managers will be available during Committee meetings, as a
resource, to answer questions regarding budget items.
Discussions at the Committee meetings should be a Committee -led process, not staff -led.
Specifics on budget items, as discussed in the Committee, will not be documented in the
Committee minutes. Each Committee member should keep ample individual notes that will aid
you in discussing items at the Retreat.
Committees are not being asked to make any recommendations regarding the budget during
the Committee meetings.
Since the strength of the Council is the experience and knowledge of all seven
Councilmembers, policy -level discussions regarding budget issues are best addressed with
the full Council and Mayor working together.
