BACKGROUND The Community Affairs and Parks (CAP) Committee reviewed this issue at its August 11,2008 meeting and forwarded it to the August 25,2008 Committee of the Whole meeting (C.O.W.), with a recommendation for adoption. At the August 25,2008 C.O.W. a public hearing was held, and the issue was discussed and forwarded on to the September 2 Regular Meeting for adoption. The draft ordinance was pulled from the September 2 agenda in order to add the list of capital facilities anticipated due to future groV\rth. At the Council's Regular Meeting on October 20, Council passed the draft ordinance back to the Community Affairs and Parks Committee for revie\v of the list of capital facilities projects which was added to the draft ordinance. DISCUSSION The Parks Department has reviewed the projects discussed in the 2008 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan and identified the capital facilities projects which will be needed due to growth. Implementation of these projects will allow the City to achieve the same level of service for future growth as it provides for existing citizens. Phone: 206-433-1800 · City Hall Fax: 206-433-1833 · www.cUukwila.wa.us The proposed ordinance will identify the current level of service for parks services that the City now provides. It will also identify the new capital facilities which will be needed to maintain that LOS for future grov..rth and development. It will amend the ordinance which adopted the 2008 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan to incorporate these items. The list of parks capital facilities projects which has been added to the draft ordinance consists of a list of proj ects which will be needed due to future grO\\rth. This list will form the basis for the list of parks projects for which impact fees will be collected, if the Council decides in the future to adopt impact fees; during the impact fee discussion, the list may be shortened as the appropriate level of impact fees is evaluated. RECOMMENDATION Adopt Ordinance establishing level of service (LOS) standards for parks and open space, identifying the capital facilities needed to maintain the LOS standards for future gro\\rth and amending Ordinance 2207 adopting the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan to incorporate the LOS standards and list of capital facilities.
