The original ordinance has been updated 4 times since its adoption, with the last update occurring in 1998. Since then, our Park system has grown, there have been updates to State and Local laws, and use of our parks has changed. DISCUSSION The Parks and Recreation Department propose to update the Park Rules and Regulations Ordinance so that that it properly addresses the use of public parks and furthers the safety, health and welfare of its users. Staff briefed the Community Affairs and Parks Committee last summer (see attached CAP Minutes from 6/10/2014) and has been working with the Park Commission (see attached Park Commission minutes) as well as the City Attorney and Police Department to develop the language. We are proposing to strike a number of sections from the ordinance as they are either covered under existing state law (Revised Code of Washington) or covered within other areas of the TMC. We are also proposing to update some sections with new and /or clarifying language, as well as add some new sections to address some previously uncovered topics. These are all reflected in the attached Draft Ordinance. The Park Rules sign will be updated to reflect these changes and will also include language for items addressed elsewhere (state or local laws). Once these signs are installed, we will provide a park sign inventory which shows location and type of signs posted in the parks. RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of the Parks & Recreation Department that the Community Affairs and Parks Committee consider the updated Ordinance for adoption and forward this item to the Committee of the Whole Meeting on April 27, 2015, and Regular Meeting on May 4, 2015.

PRESENTATIONS II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. Tukwila School District Afterschool Program Staff provided an update on the effort to identify a provider and a service delivery model for afterschool programming during the 2014/2015 school year. Due to organizational changes at the District and at Community Schools Collaboration (CSC), a committee made up of Tukwila School District and City staff felt it was time to evaluate potential providers, services, and costs. This committee developed a Request for Qualifications, which was issued on June 4. Potential reponders include CSC, YMCA, and the Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department, all of whom have submitted preliminary information to the District. Because the City has funded $100,000 annually for this program with CSC as the provider, staff asked the Committee for input regarding future funding in light of the possible change in service provider and delivery model. Committee members discussed the RFQ process and indicated a preliminary interest in continuing financial support at the current level, but would like more details about costs under various scenarios and clarification about the City's role in the program and contract, including the School District's expectations. DISCUSSION ONLY. B. Parks and Recreation Online Registration Staff is seeking Committee direction regarding online registration software for Parks programs. Council has in the past expressed interest in the provision of this service, which is common in other cities. The software program currently used by Parks for program registration (CLASS) offers an online registration module at a cost of $12,000, but this module will no longer be supported by Active Network after December 1, 2017. Staff presented the Committee with three options: A) Continue existing service without an online component, B) Add module to CLASS with the knowledge it will be unsupported, or C) Research other software options for a comprehensive, supported solution. After discussion, the Committee agreed that purchasing the online module for CLASS with knowledge that support will end in 2017 is not an efficient use of resources. DISCUSSION AND COMMITTEE DIRECTION TO REVIEW OTHER OPTIONS (OPTION C). C. Parks Department Rules and Regulations Staff briefed the Committee on the status of Park Rules and Regulations, which are codified in Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 12.08 and have not been updated since 1998. The Park Commission will be discussing these updates in June and recommendations will be brought back to Committee later this summer. In addition to existing code provisions, the following areas will also be considered: 35 Community Affairs & Parks Committee Minutes June 10, 2014 - Page 2 • No golfing in undesignated areas • Inflatables at parks • Disposal of hot coals • Alcohol • Soliciting /Concessions • Overnight camping • Parking • Trail use etiquette • Urban hunting /foraging • Posting information • Conduct • Smoking (including marijuana) Committee members briefly discussed these items and gave direction to staff to proceed. They had no further topics to add. DISCUSSION AND COMMITTEE DIRECTION TO PROCEED WITH CODE UPDATES. Committee Chair Duffle announced that the order of the remaining two items would be reversed. D. Code Enforcement Tour Fallow -up Committee Chair Duffle requested a follow -up discussion to the Code Enforcement Tour that was provided at the special Committee meeting on May 29, 2014. DCD Director Jack Pace summarized current activities in the Code Enforcement Department, including streamlining processes, adding staffing, and community engagement. The new building inspector, once hired, will be crosstrained on code enforcement duties to provide relief to the workload. Staff will continue to update the Committee on code enforcement activity, including a thorough review of the rental housing inspection program this fall. In addition, staff has been meeting with SeaTac code enforcement staff regarding coordintation along joint corridors. Committee members indicated appreciation and support for all of these efforts. INFORMATION ONLY. E. Interlocal Agreement with Tukwila Pool Metropolitan Park District Staff is seeking Council direction regarding several amendments to the Interlocal Agreement for Pool Operations and Support Systems that have been proposed by the Tukwila Pool Metropolitan Park District ( TPMPD) Board of Commissioners. At the March 25, 2014 Community Affairs and Parks meeting, the Committee asked for the opportunity to review the proposed revisions once prepared by the TPMPD and following review by both parties' attorneys. These steps are complete, and the Committee discussed the language agreed upon by both attorneys, summarized below. Section 1 - Term of Agreement, Termination and Renewal Amendments in this section change the agreement's end date and establish termination for non- payment, lack of insurance, and without cause by either party with 120 days' written notice. Section 2 - Scope of Work To aid in this discussion, staff distributed a chart displaying actual and budgeted support costs. Costs declined as anticipated in February and March, but rose again in April and May due to requests for staff participation at the Board Retreat and at monthly Board and Executive Director Committee meetings. An amendment to 2.4 clarifies the potential for invoices to exceed $6,600 monthly, as recently seen due to a large public records request made in April. An added section 2.6 establishes a cost control mechanism in which the City will notify the TPMPD once support costs have reached $60,000, and both parties will work collaboratively to identify cost reduction opportunities. 36 City o Tukwila • Community Affairs and Parks Committee COMMUNITY AFFAIRS AND PARKS COMMITTEE - Meeting Minutes April 13, 2015 — 5:30 p.m. — Hazelnut Conference Room PRESENT Councilmembers: Verna Seal, Chair; Dennis Robertson, Allan Ekberg Staff: David Cline, Tracy Gallaway, Stephanie Gardner, Kirstin May, Dave Johnson, Jack Pace, Mike Villa, Laurel Humphrey Guest: Sharon Mann, Resident CALL TO ORDER: Committee Chair Seal called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. I. PRESENTATIONS II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. King County Partners in Community Health Grant Award Parks and Recreation staff updated the Committee on a successful application to King County Public Health (KCPH) for a "Partners in Community Health" grant, which is part of a larger grant to KCPH from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The funding will be awarded via three separate contracts, beginning with $30,000 from May- September 2015. Funding awarded through the two subsequent contracts will be determined by the annual CDC provision to KCPH and will depend on successful implementation of stated objectives in earlier contracts. This funding will enable staff to implement healthy lifestyle goals on the department's work plan in the areas of education, public awareness, and City administrative policy. INFORMATION ONLY. B. Preschool Program Update Parks and Recreation staff updated the Committee on the Preschool program operating at the Tukwila Community Center. Two preschool classes began in September 2014: a 2 -day per week class for year olds and a 3 -day per week class for 4 year olds. The program is well - attended as there is significant community interest in affordable preschool programs. Based upon inquiries from the public regarding enrollment for 2015 -2016, staff believes there is enough demand to support an additional class for 4 year olds in the community. A funding request for expansion of this program will be proposed to Council through the 2015 General Fund budget amendment process. INFORMATION ONLY. C. Ordinance: Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 12.08 - Park Rules and Regulations Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance to amend Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 12.08, Park Rules and Regulations. The chapter has not been amended since 1998 and staff recommends a number of changes to bring it in line with current practices and standards as well as to eliminate redundancies with state and other laws. Once approved, the standard "Park Rules" sign will be updated and a sign inventory will be provided to Council pursuant to an earlier request. Councilmembers asked clarifying questions and did not propose additional changes. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO APRIL 27, 2015 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. rGyA
