Norris Page TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: ISSUE Officially name City of Tukwila INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Mayor Haggerton Community Affairs and Parks Committee Rick Still, Parks and Recreation Directo July 21, 2010 Park Naming Process Duwamish Riverbend Hill Project the recently developed site at 3800 South115 St. Jim Haggerton, Mayor BACKGROUND There is a long history behind the site located at 3800 South 115 St. In 2001, the City of Tukwila, Cascade Land Conservancy and the Friends of the Hill formed a partnership to work towards the preservation of the site. The site is culturally significant for its association with the Southern Puget Sound Salish and geologically significant for an unusually outcropping of bedrock rising 140 ft. above the Duwamish River. The partnership recognized this significance, and between 2001 and 2004 the raised nearly $1,000,000 to purchase the 8.6 acre parcel. After the purchase, a master plan was created and a three phase strategy for development was implemented. Phase I construction began in 2009 and will be complete this fall. The site includes interpretive trails, an outdoor classroom, and several native plant species. A celebration of accomplishments, including the completion of Phase I, will occur on Saturday, September 18, 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 property. The criteria for Naming City Property according to Resolution #1400 includes geographical location, historical considerations, name of person, geological features, and city identify /image. Over the years, this site has been referred to in a variety of communications and documents as the Hill, Duwamish Riverbend Hill, Grandmother's Hill, Poverty Hill, and, most recently Duwamish Hill Preserve. Additionally, tribal names from the Duwamish and Muckleshoot tribes were taken into consideration. A memo was mailed to tribal leadership to seek input and explain the management team's name recommendation for the site. This item was taken to the City of Tukwila Parks Commission on July 21, 2010. Proposed names were those listed above and after careful and thoughtful consideration, the Parks Commission recommends the name of Duwamish Hill Preserve. RECOMMENDATION Based on the recommendation of the Parks Commission, the Council is being asked to consider naming the park property located at 3800 South 115 St. as Duwamish Hill Preserve at the August 9, 2010 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent Regular Meeting August 16, 2010.
