Open Space (PROS) Plan.
BACKGROUND
The City entered into Consulting Agreement with MIG, Inc. on March 4, 2013 for the purposes of
updating the PROS Plan. This memo serves to update the Community Affairs and Parks
Committee on the progress of that work.
DISCUSSION
On March 20th, staff provided an informational tour to the consultant consisting of tours of the
Recreation facilities and Parks in Tukwila. We also conducted the Project Initiation Meeting with
the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on that date.
On April 30th, the on -line survey was launched, and it is also available in written format.
Distribution and notification of the survey has been made through posters at various city and
school facilities, email notification, and posted to city website and Department Facebook page.
We are also promoting this at all of our events.
On May 3rd, we hosted a feedback session at the Teen Late Night where teens could provide
feedback on a couple specific items. We also provided the survey information to them. We will
be doing a similar session for the Senior lunch program, as well as having the display boards at
many of our upcoming events.
