Councilmember Duffie has served on the Tukwila City Council for 35 years and was a dedicated employee of the Tukwila School District for 21 years. As a City of Tukwila resident, he has been a steadfast advocate for Tukwila's parks as well as recreational activities. Because Councilmember Duffie lives particularly close to Foster Memorial Park and has always taken an active prideful role in the park, it seems as though this would be the perfect site to name a field in his honor. This idea was presented to the Parks Commission by Mayor Ekberg on April 12, 2017. DISCUSSION City Council Resolution 1400 addresses the process for naming City property. For Parks, the names shall be recommended by the Park Commission to the Community Development and Neighborhoods Committee. The following unranked criteria is used to guide the naming decision: 1. Geographical location 2. Historical considerations 3. Names of persons 4. Geological features 5. City identity and image Where persons' names are used, they should be people who have made an outstanding contribution to the community, or whose names are of historical significance to the area, or who the City would like to recognize as an important influence in the area. The Park Commission discussed this at the June 14, 2017 meeting and voted unanimously in recommending the name "Joe Duffie Field" to the Community Development and Neighborhoods Committee. 111 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 It was also discussed that along with name signage of the field, that an additional sign referencing why the field was named after Councilmember Duffie be posted as well. FINANCIAL IMPACT Minimal cost would include signage and possibly dedication ceremony. RECOMMENDATION The Committee is being asked to consider naming the field at Joseph Foster Memorial Park, "Joe Duffie Field" in honor of Councilmember Duffie's years of service to the community and forwarding to the September 25, 2017 Committee of the Whole and November 6, 2017 Regular City Council Meetings.

BUSINESS AGENDA A. Resolution: Naming Joe Duffie Field at Joseph Foster Memorial Park *Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would name the northeastern ball field at Joseph Foster Memorial Park as "Joe Duffie Field." Councilmember Duffie is retiring at the end of this term after 35 years of service on the Council, and the Park Commission and City Council would like to honor him with this naming. Chair Kruller suggested inquiring with Councilmember Duffie if he would like his middle name used as well. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 25, 2017 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. B. Purchase of Mower for Foster Golf Links Staff is seeking Committee approval to purchase a replacement for the recently -failed winter- time mower for Foster Golf Links. Staff located a used mower for $6,050 that could serve as a temporary replacement to get through the year. Alternatively, since this mower was scheduled for replacement in 2018, the purchase of a new mower could be made early with a budget amendment. There is an immediate need for a reliable mower ready for the wet season. Committee members discussed the option and directed staff to proceed with the used mower purchase and return with additional information regarding a full replacement. Chair Hougardy reminded the Committee that the Finance Committee discussed the policy for unbudgeted capital purchases and directed staff to return with a Financial Policy that defines "unbudgeted" to mean insufficient funds, not simply unlisted. This is still pending with the Finance committee. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL TO PURCHASE REPLACEMENT FOR $6,050. C. Temporary Use Permit from Seattle City Light for Property at Foster Golf Links Staff is seeking Council approval of a two-year agreement with Seattle City Light in the amount of $67,427 for a Temporary Use Permit for property at Foster Golf Links. The property owned by Seattle City Light is a significant portion of the parking lot, landscaping to the west of the parking lot, the trail, and sidewalk, totaling 83,236 square feet. SCL is offering a 75% discount to the City for the continued care of the property. Funds are available from the Parks Administration budget in 2017. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2017 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA. 117
