Business Items
A. Project Update — Dave Johnson briefly reviewed the Project Update with the Commissioners, most
notably the items occurring at the Pool.
B. Event /Activitv Calendar — Dave Johnson informed the Commissioners that we are working to further
streamline the process for the calendar and hope to have this done in time for the February meeting
based on input from the Community Affairs and Parks Committee.
C. Tukwila Tree & Environment Advisory Committee Update - Don Scanlon and Sean Albert provided an
update to the Commission that the committee is putting lot of their information on the City website. The
Committee is awaiting the final Tree Canopy Study and working through and reviewing goals and policies.
Beginning in March, their meetings will be on the 2nd Wednesday of the month.
D. "Clean Parks” Initiative — Dave Johnson shared with the Commission some of the ideas that arose out of
the staff discussion and brainstorm including adding a Park mascot to the education piece and also
creating a fun video of how to clean after your park use.
E. PROS Plan Update — Dave Johnson provided an update to the Commissioners — in early December, the
City sent out an RFP to over 30 consultants. The City received 5 proposals and a review committee scored
the 5 proposals on a weighted scale that took 6 elements into account. The review committee narrowed
the field to 3 consultants, and they were invited in for an interview. Panel interviews were on January
15th with representation from Parks and Recreation, Mayor's Office, Planning, and the Parks Commission.
The panel was very pleased with how the interviews went and are excited about the potential for the
PROS Plan. The City is doing reference checks, and will begin Scope of Work. The contract will be
forwarded through the Council process.
F. Department Update
a. Staff are working on the planning for the re -start of the Preschool program which was approved
by Council during the budget process. The program will begin in the Fall of 2014, but due to the
nature of the program, promotion, and timing of registration, the planning work begins now.
b. Staff are working on planning for Summer programs.
c. This past Saturday was our first Women's Only time in the Fitness Room at TCC. Staff have been
working with Somali Community Services Coalition in coordinating this program, and there were
26 participants.

G. TMC Review — Dave Johnson introduced the Commissioners to the Tukwila Municipal Code that addresses
the role of the Parks Commission (Chapter 2.32) and notes that it was established in 1977. In the 35 years
since it was established, there have been significant changes in the City and the Department. As a result,
it seems worthwhile to review it and work to update it so that it reflects the role and duties of the current
times. Dave has asked the Commissioners to review it and think about some of the general concepts that
may need to be updated and to bring those to the February meeting to discuss.
Other
A. Pool Grand Re-Opening — The Pool will be re- opening in mid - February with a Grand Opening event
planned for April 20th, which is April POOL's Day. As we get closer to the event and finalize details, we'll
be sure to include the Parks Commission on the invite list.
B. The Green River Trail has re- opened now that the Flood barricades have been removed. There is some
patch and repair work still to be done, and the City will be planning a Grand Re- Opening event. Details
are still being worked through and we'll keep the Parks Commission updated and on the invite list.
C. The Commissioners expressed their support for exploring transportation solutions to ease access for
community members to get to the Community Center. Many folks find it difficult to get to TCC because
they lack transportation and there is no bus route that provides easy drop point near the Center. The
Commissioners expressed their support in drafting a letter to the Mayor and KC Metro to explore
solutions to include, but limited to, altered bus routes and funding for community shuttle service. Dave
indicated that he would draft a letter for review.
D. Alice Russell shared a concept of people being able to donate their live Christmas Tree to the City for the
purposes of it being planted in a park or other City right -of -way.
Adjournment: Don Scanlon moved to adjourn at 6:25pm. The motion was seconded by Joanne McManus and
the motion passed unanimously.
Next Meeting: Wednesday, February 20, 2013

The Honorable Jim Haggerton, Mayor
City of Tukwila
6200 Southcenter Blvd.
Tukwila, WA 98168
Dear Mayor Haggerton:
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
Rick Still, Director
Parks and Recreation is one of the primary elements to a healthy and vibrant community and a strong
quality of life. While the Parks and Recreation Department runs a variety of programs at locations
throughout the City, the Tukwila Community Center is the home to the bulk of the Recreation
programs in Tukwila. As the make -up of the community has evolved over the years, unfortunately, the
ability for citizens to move about within Tukwila has not. At best, it is a challenge for many citizens to
access the services and programs provided at the Community Center.
The Parks Commission strongly encourages you and the City to explore transportation solutions that
encourage participation in Parks and Recreation activities, provide increased access to the Community
Center, and help contribute a strong quality of life for the citizens of Tukwila. Some suggestions for
possible solutions include, but are not limited to, working with King County METRO to increase bus
service within Tukwila (particularly East -West routes), seeking funding (grant, donor, or General Fund)
for a Community Shuttle Service, or other solutions.
Thank you for considering this important matter for a vibrant, healthy, and mobile community.
Respectfully Yours,
City of Tukwila Parks Commission

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Community Affairs and Parks Committee
FROM: Rick Still, Parks and Recreation Director
BY: Dave Johnson, Recreation Superintendent
DATE: February 6, 2013
SUBJECT: Parks Recreation & Open Space Plan — Authorize Consultant Agreement
Project Number 81330101
ISSUE
The City's 6 -year Parks Recreation & Open Space (PROS) Plan is due for an update.
BACKGROUND
The 2008 - 2014 PROS Plan was adopted by Ordinance Number 2207 on June 23, 2008, and
amended by Ordinance Number 2213 on November 17, 2008. A city has a PROS Plan for a
number of reasons. It helps to establish the parks and recreation needs of a community and
identifies ways to meet those needs. It establishes a 6 -year Capital Improvement Plan and
provides policy and standards to guide the department for the future. It also serves as the Open
Space Plan which is required for the City to be eligible for State and Federal grant funding.
DISCUSSION
Requests for Proposals (RFP) were sent out to over 30 Parks and Recreation Planning
consultant firms from the Municipal Research and Services Center roster. We received five
proposals in response to the RFP. A review committee comprised of representation from Parks
and Recreation, Mayor's Office, Community Development, and Parks Commission rated the five
proposals based on Creative Approach, Qualifications and Expertise, Effective Public
Involvement, Experience with Implementation, Professional Presentation, and Ability to Meet
Timeline. This review narrowed the field to three consultants, who were invited in for a panel
interview. The interview panel was comprised of similar representation as the initial review
committee, and MIG was rated with the highest score and selected as the most qualified
consultant.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The consultant's scope of work will not exceed the CIP's $100,000 budget for this project (page
52).
RECOMMENDATION
The Community Affairs and Parks Committee is being asked to approve the Consultant
Agreement, and consider this item at the February 25, 2013 Committee of the Whole meeting
and forward to the Consent Agenda at the March 4, 2013 Regular Meeting.

Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan Scope of Work Exhibit A
PHASE 1: WHERE ARE WE NOW?
In Phase 1, the MIG Team will gain a deeper understanding of the Tukwila park, recreation and open space system, building on
our Team's existing knowledge, as well as the updated park and facility inventory, and recent local and regional planning efforts.
Phase 1 Tasks:
1.1 Project Initiation Meeting (TAG #1)
A technical advisory group (TAG) made up of representation from relevant City departments is an important part of building
support within the City for park, recreation and open space projects. At key points in the process the planning team will meet with
this group to solicit feedback on technical work products and seek guidance on the PROS plan development, including aligning
projects with existing City efforts. MIG will facilitate an initial 1.5 hour meeting of the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to discuss
the objectives of the plan, information needs, communication protocols and scheduling of key events in the PROS process.
Following the meeting MIG will prepare a 1 to 2 page summary of key decision points and provide this document to the City in pdf
format for distribution to the TAG.
1.2 Background Information Review
MIG will review key background information provided by the City. This documentation will include relevant site, city-wide and
regional plans, City budget and capital improvement plan, recreation program guides, and other documents related to the PROS
effort. Information from this background review will be incorporated into the summary documents, beginning with the Existing
Recreation Resources Summary Report, as necessary, and tracked in a project references list.
1.3 Inventory Review and Analysis
MIG will review electronic and hard copy park, recreation facility, open space and trail inventory data provided by the City. Existing
classifications of park sites, counts of facilities and acreage will be analyzed and included in a base map of Tukwila's PROS
system based on the provided Geographic Information System (GIS) data provided. The base map will be provided in pdf format
for review by the TAG . MIG will complete one revision of the map based on any updates to the data (provided by the City) or style
and presentation comments by the TAG.
1.4 Recreation Program Matrix and Analysis
Utilizing City program information, staff and consulting team knowledge of other recreation providers in the community, MIG will
assemble a matrix of program types and audiences and populate it with information about the existing providers in Tukwila.
Analysis of this matrix will identify gaps, overlaps and niche opportunities, which will be incorporated into the Existing Recreation
Resources Summary Report.
1.5 Site Tours
MIG will participate in one day of site touring to familiarize the project team with the specifics of Tukwila's parks, recreation
facilities and open spaces. This tour should include City staff members with on- the - ground knowledge of the best of the system as
well as with issues. Observations of park and facility condition from this tour will be incorporated into the Existing Recreation
Resources Summary Report.
1.6 Public Information Update
MIG will prepare a public information update for each phase of the project that describes the process, interesting facts and
findings in a series of short paragraphs that can be easily utilized in a wide range of existing City communications (including social
media, newsletters and website updates). The Phase 1 update will include a description of the process, key dates (such as the
community workshops), the online survey Zink, and preliminary facts and figures about the park system from the background
analysis.
1.7 Stakeholder Interviews /Focus Groups (4 -5)
MIG Team member BERK will facilitate one day of stakeholder interviews or focus groups, up to five meetings of 1 -1.5 hours. The
topics and invitees will be discussed at TAG meeting #1. The City will initiative outreach and assist in scheduling the attendees,
the City will also provide meeting rooms and logistics support. BERK will provide a summary of the discussions that identifies
issues and ideas raised by the participants.
1.8 Existing Recreation Resources Summary Report
The key work product of this phase will be the Existing Recreation Resources Summary Report. This report will include an
overview of the economic context, discussion of demographic trends, and baseline information on the parks, trails, and recreation
programs provided by the City and others, including an overview on how these sites and services are marketed to the public. This
summary report allows for review of this information by the TAG prior to moving forward with the needs analysis. MIG will provide
the summary report in Word and pdf format to facilitate the collection of comments. The City will collect comments and return one
set of consolidated comments for one revision by MIG.
16
1.9 Project Management and Administration
This task will ensure a consistent basis for project management and follow -up. As part of this task, MIG will prepare a request for
information identifying the desired background information for the project. MIG will coordinate with the City on project activities and
progress in biweekly phone calls, resolve issues that may arise regarding schedule and deliverables, and recommend direction for
completing project tasks. Project Management and Coordination for this phase is based on a 2 -month duration.
Phase 1 Deliverables:
• TAG #1 Summary
• Community and Stakeholder Engagement Plan
• Public Information Update
• Stakeholder Interviews /Focus Groups Summary
• Existing Recreation Resources Summary Report
PHASE 2: WHERE DO WE WANT TO BE?
Phase 2 will include a needs assessment and the initial development of strategic directions. The community questionnaire and
targeted focus groups will occur during this phase. Based on the vision emerging from the public engagement process, the MIG
Team will design and conduct a needs analysis for the area that will identify needs for parks, recreation facilities, trails and
recreation programs, as well as project future needs. The summary of the Needs Analysis will be the basis of the work in Phase
3.
Phase 2 Tasks:
2.1 Community Workshops
MIG Team member BERK will design and facilitate three community workshops at times and locations convenient to the target
populations. The workshops will be open to the entire community but will also target participation from Tukwila's immigrant
communities. Targeted outreach will allow the MIG Team to efficiently provide translation services by identifying the key
populations and language groups for each workshop. The MIG Team will provide interpretative /translation at two of the three
meetings, one in Spanish and a second covering 3 -4 languages based on anticipated participation. BERK will provide a summary
of the set of workshops, identifying the specific ideas and overlapping themes raised by participants.
2.2 Online Survey
MIG Team will develop an open- access online survey to gather feedback from residents, as well as employers and employees.
This online survey gives all interested parties a voice in the planning process, and will collect community input about community
desires, initial priorities and important park and recreation activities. The MIG Team will design and program the online survey,
and analyze the results, including a brief memo summarizing key findings. The City will post the link to the City website and
distribute it as widely as possible using existing communications networks and newsletters.
2.3 Needs Analysis
MIG will design a customized analysis addressing Tukwila's issues identified in the Phase 1 public input and the Online Survey. A
preliminary review of the analysis will be discussed by the TAG at meeting #2. Following this meeting, MIG will revise the analysis
model, run it and prepare a summary of the results to present at the Strategy Session (TAG Meeting #3). All documentation of the
analysis will be provided in electronic formats that are accessible to TAG members for review (Word, pdf, Google Earth KMZ).
2.4 TAG Meeting #2
At the second TAG meeting, the MIG Team will preview the results of the Needs Analysis and get direction and feedback to
prepare the final analysis. Following the meeting, MIG will prepare a summary of key information items and decision points and
provide this document to the City in pdf format for distribution to the TAG.

PHASE 3: HOW DO WE GET THERE?
To begin Phase 3, the MIG Team will facilitate a Strategy Session, expanding on the Technical Advisory Group as needed to
refine the vision and further define objectives, goals and strategies to sustain and enhance parks, recreation facilities, trails and
programs. Following the Strategy Session, the MIG Team will prepare draft strategies, actions and recommendations. We will
also prepare a preliminary capital development plan and summarize funding and implementation strategy options (including a
review of the implications on the City's impact fees) in a memo format. The TAG will review these materials and the project
prioritization criteria. The MIG Team will refine the prioritization criteria and use them to prioritize capital projects, summarizing
this information in memo format for further TAG review.
Phase 3 Tasks:
3.1 Strategy Session (TAG Meeting #3)
MIG will facilitate a third TAG meeting, using the Needs Analysis Summary as a starting point. This meeting will focus on defining
the preferred approaches to meeting Tukwila's PROS needs. This meeting may benefit from an expanded attendance to include
additional staff and potential partners.
3.2 Draft Strategies, Actions and Recommendations
MIG will develop the ideas originating in Task 3.1 into a framework of strategic directions, actions and recommendations that will
address park sites, recreation facilities and programs, and open spaces to guide implementation of the plan. The draft of this
framework will be provided electronically (Word and pdf) for review by the TAG and comments (one set consolidated by the City)
will be integrated into the Working Draft Plan.
3.3 Capital Development Plan
MIG will build a planning model of the cost for developing the sites and facilities recommended in the plan. The assumptions for
costs will be derived from any recent Tukwila's projects and the MIG Team experience. The model will be a working document
that can be updated with new cost assumptions during and following the planning process. For review the document will be
provided in Excel and pdf formats and a snapshot of this model will be included in the Working Draft Plan.
3.4 Funding and Implementation Strategies
Based on the scale of improvements recommended, MIG will develop strategies for funding and implementing projects and
service enhancements in Tukwila. This will include a review of the key variables in the Park Impact Fee calculation and a
description of how the application of impact fees benefits the system as a whole. A memo describing proposed strategies will be
provided by MIG for review by the TAG and comments (one set consolidated by the City) will be integrated into the Working Draft
Plan.
3.5 Prioritization Criteria and Project Priorities
MIG will draft criteria for Tukwila to use in prioritizing projects, both during and following the planning process, and apply these
criteria to the recommended projects to create a recommended 6 -year Capital Improvement Plan along with non - capital projects
the City should pursue in the first six year planning period. A draft of the criteria and preliminary prioritize project list will be
provided by MIG for review by the TAG and comments (one set consolidated by the City) will be integrated into the Working Draft
Plan.
3.6 City Council Update
This meeting will serve as a check -in and update with the Community Affairs & Parks Committee or Committee of the Whole, to
get feedback on the plan directions (Tasks 3.2 — 3.5) prior to preparation of the Working Draft Plan.
3.7 Public Information Update
The Phase 3 update will include findings from the needs analysis and a description of how these influence the recommended
direction for the plan.

PHASE 4: WHERE /HOW DO WE START IMPROVEMENTS?
In Phase 4, the MIG Team will prepare a graphically -rich, readable and functional Working Draft Plan. The Working Draft Plan
will be presented to staff and their comments will be incorporated and used to create a Public Review Draft plan. This plan will
be released for review by the public and local agency review bodies. The MIG Team will provide a toolkit of review support
materials, including a PowerPoint presentation and talking points for use by City staff in presenting the plan. Incorporating
feedback from the review process, the Final Plan will present practical, implementable directions to provide core parks and
recreation services to Tukwila in a cost - effective, sustainable, and successful way.
Phase 4 Tasks:
4.1 Working Draft Plan
MIG will assemble a first draft of the full PROS plan from the content created in Phases 1 -3, described above. This draft will be
provided to the TAG for review prior to release to the public. This review allows the TAG to identify critical flaws, revisions of
language and feedback about the overall presentation of the plan. MIG will provide the plan in Word format to allow commenting
and will incorporate one set of revisions (based on comments consolidated by the City) into the Public Review Draft Plan.
4.2 TAG Meeting #4
MIG will facilitate a meeting with the TAG to review the direction and content of the plan in detail and discuss suggested revisions.
4.3 City Council Update
This meeting will provide a chance for the Community Affairs & Parks Committee or Committee of the Whole to provide feedback
on the Draft Plan prior to the public release.
4.4 Public Review Draft Plan
MIG will revise the Working Draft Plan based on staff and TAG comments (received at the meeting and in written form), a full
PROS plan will be released to the public and provided to City Council for comment and consideration for adoption. This draft is
intended to support the community discussion of the plan through the adoption process. Rather than creating multiple versions as
comments are received, the City will track comments and corrections in a separate memo, allowing City Council to consider the
comments together and City Staff to recommend changes to incorporate in the final plan and which to address in other ways. MIG
will provide the plan in both Word and pdf formats to support this review process.
4.5 Adoption Support
MIG will provide a PowerPoint presentation to accompany the Public Review Draft Plan that can be presented by City staff as
needed during the review and adoption process. MIG will also be available to respond to questions and comments as the plan
moves forward.

can provide comments on the draft plan and how those comments will be considered prior to adoption.
4.7 Final Plan
Following adoption of the plan, MIG will complete one round of final edits based on feedback received during the adoption process
19
(as approved by City Council) and deliver the final version of Tukwila's PROS Plan to the City in pdf files suitable for printing and
for publishing online.
4.8 GMA and RCO Submissions
