BACKGROUND Jim Haggerton, Mayor There is a long history behind the developed park site at 12929 50 Place South. The land belonged to the Codiga family and served as a pioneer farm. In 1974, the land was sold to King County to be used as park land, and included a leaseback to the Codiga's for $25 /month. in 1983, King County updated the lease to $160 /month. That lease was in effect until the City of Tukwila acquired ownership of the land through annexation in the early 1990's. The City continued leasing the land to the Codiga's. The annexation in the early 1990's also included the site that the Tukwila Community Center currently sits on. At the time of the annexation, King County was running a Pea Patch program on this site. The City's Recreation Division continued to run the Pea Patch, and in 1995 it was re- located to the Codiga site as construction of the new Community Center was to begin, and was known as the Codiga Farm Pea Patch. In 2002, the City and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers entered into agreement to develop a fish channel and park on the site. The fish channel had to go deeper than originally planned, which also meant wider, resulting in less area available for the upland park development, and the Pea Patch re- located to its present location at Riverton Park. The fish channel project work took place during 2003 '06, however the Corps abandoned the park development portion of the project. The site was left alone for nearly 3 years until the Parks and Recreation Department took over the responsibility to complete the park development. The Department went through the design and bid phase, and the park development will be complete in March 2010. DISCUSSION City of Tukwila Council Resolution #1400 describes the process for Naming City Property, specifically in this case, Parks. The names of Parks are recommended by the Parks Commission, who forwards their recommendation to the Community Affairs and Parks Committee. The City Council is the final authority in approving the names of City -owned real property. The criteria for Naming City Property according to CR #1400 includes geographical location, historical considerations, name of person, geological features, and city identify /image.

Naming of Park Property Codiga As required by Resolution No. 1400, staff is seeking full Council approval of a resolution to name the park property located at 12929 50 Place South. The Parks Commission was given four names to choose from for the park: Codiga Park, Codiga Farm Park, Codiga Fish Channel and Codiga Farm Property. Resolution No. 1400 outlines criteria to be considered when choosing a name for City property. The Parks Commission has recommended the park be called Codiga Park; however, the City Council has final naming authority. The Committee was not in agreement on the name of the park. Two Committee members expressed support for naming the property Codiga Park, as recommended by the Parks Commission. One Committee member felt that Codiga Farm Park was a more appropriate and descriptive name for the location. Staff distributed a flyer for the Park Ribbon Cutting Ceremony which will be held on May 8, 2010, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. FORWARD TO APRIL 12 COW FOR DISCUSSION. B. Rental Housing Ordinance Staff is seeking full Council approval of a draft ordinance and fee schedule resolution for a Residential Rental Housing Licensing and Inspection Program. The draft ordinance ensures that Tukwila community members are living in units that are safe and healthy, and outlines the licensing and inspection program, as well as implementing this program as revenue neutral. Specifically, it will require: a All residential property owners to obtain an annual residential rental business license Inspection of all units every fifth year Set fees to cover the cost of the program Administrative rules implementing the program will not be codified in the ordinance, but will be a stand alone document which will be used to manage the program. As mentioned above, the intent is for this program to be revenue neutral without a financial impact to the City's general fund. The fee for inspections in estimated to cost the property owner less than $0.75 per unit, per month over a four year period. 69
