PRESENTATIONS No presentations. II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. Leasine of City Property for Dieital Billboard Staff is seeking Council approval to enter into a lease agreement with Clear Channel Outdoor (CCO) for the City -owned property located at the northeast corner of West Valley Highway and South 180 Street. CCO will be utilizing the property to locate and operate a digital billboard. Currently, NC Power Systems is using the property, and may continue using the property provided rent is paid to the City. At this time, it does not appear as if NC Power has a need for continued use. However, if at a later time, they desire to use the property, CCO's lease agreement does not restrict other uses, and a new agreement could be discussed. Highlights of the lease agreement with Clear Channel Outdoor include: Fifteen (15) year lease, termination clause and mutually renewable Lease rate of $25,000 annually with a 7.5% increase every five years CCO will provide property access, currently there is none Committee Members expressed appreciation for staff's effort to communicate intentions and processes with NC Power Systems. In relation to property access above, Committee Member Duffle commented that a driveway cut should be made in the sidewalk for vehicular access to the property in order to avoid driving over the sidewalk. Committee Chair Seal stated that it is essential that we make sure that we comply with our own codes and regulations. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 28 COW FOR DISCUSSION. B. North Highline Annexation Staff is seeking Committee approval of a resolution that states the City's interest in commencing negotiations of an interlocal agreement with King County for the annexation of the area known as North Highline. This area was identified as a potential annexation (PAA) area in the City's Comprehensive Plan in 1995. The bulleted items below briefly describe the PAA: Approximately 135 acres Twenty -four (24) parcels $91 million accessed value Currently zoned industrial Revenues are projected to be more than the costs of annexation Community Affairs Parks Committee Minutes March 14.2011- Paae 2 The memo included in the Committee agenda packet provides additional information including new revenue and effects of annexation. Staff discussed an overlap between the City of Seattle's and Tukwila's PAA's. Seattle has notified the City of Tukwila that they are considering moving forward with an annexation vote this fall. However, King County Countywide Planning Policies require that the two cities participate in a PAA boundary resolution mediation process prior to notifying the Boundary Review Board of intent to annex. This draft resolution in no way commits the City to annexation. It simply allows the City to initiate negotiation process with King County, and it is required per RCW 35A. 14.470, if participating entities want to use the interlocal agreement method of annexation. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 28 COW FOR DISCUSSION. C. Bid Award for 34 Golf Carts Staff is seeking Council approval to award a bid in the amount of $114,030 to Pacific Golf and Turf for the purchase of 34 gas powered golf carts for Foster Golf Links (FGL). Staff provided background information on golf cart use at FGL including gas carts compared to electric carts, and the history of long -term cart lease to own program versus buying carts outright. Currently, FGL owns 34 carts that are six -years old. Staff is recommending trading in 10 carts and purchasing 34 additional carts which will provide FGL with a fleet of 58 carts eliminating the need for short-term lease during the high demand golf season. A significant concern of this purchase is the possibility of a resulting negative fund balance for FGL, and the need to be subsidized by the City's General Fund. Committee Members requested staff provide an explanation of the overall new business plan mentioned in the meeting and modify the memo that goes to full Council to talk about the strategic plan process outlining year by year, showing the costs savings of an outright purchase. The Committee did not make a recommendation as they feel a full Council discussion is necessary to determine the best choice for the City. NO COMMITTEE RECOMMEDATION. FORWARD TO MARCH 28 COW FOR DISCUSSION. D. Parks Recreation Annual Report As an information only item, Rick Still reviewed the 2010 Parks Recreation Annual Report with the Committee.
