The motion 91 City of Tukwila Allen Ekberg, Mayor Parks & Recreation Department -lick Still, Director TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Park Commission Robert Eaton, Parks & Recreation Manager May 11, 2016 Park Naming — Round 2 ISSUE Compiled list of suggested names for the Duwamish Garden /Chinook Wind Project site. BACKGROUND This was discussed at last month's Park Commission meeting and agreed to postpone the voting until the new commissioners are appointed on April 18, 2016. A recommendation needs to be made at this month's meeting. DISCUSSION The list below is the revised list of names that was agreed upon at the April Park Commission meeting. A recommendation needs to be made at this meeting due to project timing. Regarding the physical limitations of the engraved name fitting on the rock, or number of characters, Public Works staff confirmed that the original design accounted for the following, "15 letters that are 8" high, then "City of Tukwila" below, which has 3" high letters. The 8" high text is designed to be seen by motorists. This could be modified somewhat, and we will have a shop drawing and mock -up to show how it all fits. So, 1 would say our limit should be about 15 -20 letters for the main park name." Here are the 22 suggestions grouped according to similar names: o Carosino Park o Carosino's Duwamish Gardens o Carrossino Duwamish Gardens • Ray /Carrossino Pioneer Park • Ray Carrossino Pioneer Park o Ray Carrossino Nature Center o Salmon Cove Park o Chinook Cove Park o Chinook Wind o Chinook Wind Park o Chinook Wind Restoration Park o Chinook Wind Natural Area o Duwamish Gardens o Duwamish Gardens Park o Duwamish Gardens of Tukwila o Duwamish River Reserve o Duwamish River Tidal Park o Duwamish River Salmon Park o Duwamish River Restoration Area • Duwamish Heritage Habitat Park • Duwamish Heritage Nature Park • Heritage Habitat Nature Park Tukwila City Hall * 6200 Southcenter Boulevard * Tukwila, WA 98188 * 206- 433-1800 * Website TukwiloWA.gov 5 Park Commission — Park Naming May 11, 2016 Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT If the Parks Commission were to recommend interpretive signage (to demonstrate the historical significance and previous uses of the site) in addition to the main park name sign, then an estimated cost for each 24" x 36" size high quality sign would be approximately $500. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend the project site, unofficially referred to as Duwamish Gardens and Chinook Wind that is located between East Marginal Way and Tukwila International Boulevard, be named "Chinook Wind Natural Area" and that interpretive signage be placed within the project site to capture and honor the history of both sites.
