BACKGROUND Green Fees at Foster Golf Links (FGL) were last increased in 2016 by way of Resolution 1877 and are referenced in the TMC Chapter 12.12 "Foster Golf Links Fees" as adopted by Ordinance 1990. DISCUSSION To maintain proper price points, stimulate growth, and work towards revenue goals, staff is recommending an update to the green fees at FGL. Based on the survey conducted by FGL staff (attachment A), staff is proposing a modest fee increase as shown in draft Resolution (attachment B). Additionally, there are a few housekeeping revisions that need to be made to the TMC Chapter 12.12. "Foster Golf Links Fees" as well. Attachment C is the draft Ordinance that includes the updates to the TMC Chapter 12.12 and repeals the existing Ordinance 1990. FINANCIAL IMPACT If play in 2018 were equal to the average for the past two years (2016-2017), it is anticipated that the green fees increase would yield an estimated $40,000 in additional revenue to meet the targeted revenue. RECOMMENDATION The Council Committee is being asked to consider forwarding this item to the Consent Agenda at the March 5, 2018 Regular Meeting. ATTACHMENTS A. 2018 Green Fees Survey B.

BUSINESS AGENDA. There was consensus to consider a request to apply for King County Conservation Futures Trust Tax Levy grant funding as the first order of business. A. Grant Application: King County Conservation Futures Trust Tax Levy (CFT) Staff is seeking Committee approval to apply for CFT grant funding to purchase property on South 116th Street along the Green River, due by March 5, 2018. The current property owner has expressed enthusiastic interest in having his property help meet riverbank restoration needs and provide recreational opportunities. The property is located in close proximity to City major capital investments for habitat improvements and salmon restoration such as Codiga Park and North Winds Weir. The CFT program would require a 50% local match, and staff intends to pursue other funding sources to meet this. If unsuccessful, the CFT funding would be returned. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. B. Resolution: Foster Golf Bridge Naming Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would name a bridge at Foster Golf Links the "Joe and Hazel Aliment Memorial Bridge" pursuant to a request by the Foster Golf Links Men's and Women's Clubs. Joe Aliment worked at the course beginning in 1924 and purchased it with his wife Hazel in 1951. The Aliments sold the course to the City of Tukwila in 1978. The Park Commission unanimously approved the request in November 2017. If approved by the Council, there will be a small expenditure associated with signage. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 26, 2018 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. C. Ordinance and Resolution: Foster Golf Links Green Fees *Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution and an ordinance that would amend the Green Fees at Foster Golf Links to maintain proper price points, stimulate growth, and work toward revenue goals. The draft resolution would establish the new fees and the draft ordinance makes housekeeping amendments to Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 12.12, "Foster Golf Links Fees." The fee increases are modest and in line with regional courses. If 123 Community Development & Neighborhoods Minutes February27, 2018 play in 2018 is equal to the past two years' average, the increase would yield approximately $40,000 in revenue. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 5, 2018 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA. D. Tree Code Ordinances Staff is seeking Council approval of ordinances to amend Tukwila Municipal Code Chapters 18.06 and 18.54 to implement new urban forestry Comprehensive Plan goals and policies and add definitions that address modern urban forestry and landscaping terminology. This update has been a lengthy and thorough process, beginning with a reconvening of the Tukwila Tree and Environment Advisory Committee, which drafted regulations for Planning Commission review. Community input was also sought and incorporated into the proposed ordinances. The proposals primarily impact single family zones, as commercial zones were addressed by the Landscaping Code update adopted in 2017. Currently there are no restrictions on the number of trees that can be removed from a single-family home unless sensitive areas are present, but since the Comprehensive Plan outlines goals for retainingthe City's tree canopy, these new regulations would establish more restrictions. The City would require a permit for removing a tree within a Critical Root Zone, pruning more than 20% of the existing crown of a Heritage Tree, removing a tree over 8" in diameter, or removing more than the number of trees allotted in a 36 -month period. Since the last Committee discussion, staff identified several additional changes and a new recital as described in the February 21, 2018 memo. Committee members asked clarifying questions and decided it is ready for Committee of the Whole deliberation. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 26, 2018 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. E. Foster High School Reader Board The City Council received public comment at the February 5, 2018 Council meeting to consider granting a variance for the Foster High School pole sign, which is non -conforming. In residential zones the height limit for signs is 5 feet and the maximum area is 30 square feet per face, and the Foster High sign is 14.5 feet tall and has a face of 36 square feet. To conform to the sign code, the School District could lower the existing sign or install the reader panel on the side of the building. The Sign Code Advisory Committee included representatives from the City Council, the Planning Commission, and the residential and business community, and disallowing pole signs was a key recommendation for the revised sign code in 2010. The Foster High sign was in a 10 -year grace period but immediate compliance was triggered when the Foster High remodel/expansion went through design review last summer. At that time, the District asked for a sign variance but put the request on hold when informed that DCD would not recommend approval on the grounds it would not meet the variance criteria in TMC 19.28.030. If the City Council were to amend the sign code the changes would need to apply to all signs in residential zones. Chair Kruller mentioned that there is a limited number of churches and schools who would take advantage of such a change. Because this was raised at public comment at a Council meeting, Chair Kruller requested that staff put together a list of policy options to be emailed to the full Council in case there is interest in pursuing anything further. DISCUSSION ONLY. 124
