City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor TIO AL E 0 DU TO: Community Development & Neighborhoods Committee FROM: Rick Still, Parks & Recreation Director By: Robert Eaton, Parks & Recreation Manager CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: October 22, 2019 SUBJECT: PROS Plan — Council Update and Engagement ISSUE Council Update and Engagement on the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan Update. BACKGROUND The current 2014 - 2019 Parks, Recreations, and Open Space (PROS) Plan was adopted by Ordinance Number 2207 on February 18, 2014. On May 6, 2019, City Council approved a consultant agreement hiring MIG to assist the City in updating the PROS Plan. Staff are working closely with MIG throughout the process to update the PROS Plan for adoption in early 2020. A significant portion of the work so far focused on Community Engagement. To date, community engagement has include: two Advisory Group meetings, one joint Park and Arts Commission work session, five Park Pop -ups at the See You in the Park events over the summer, three Listening Sessions with community groups, eight One -on -One Interviews with prominent community members representing various ethnic communities, and an Online Community Needs Assessment (in four languages), which just wrapped up on October 12, 2019. Results from all these community engagement activities have led to Key Findings that will be shared with the Council Committee. More thorough information can be found in the "State of the System Summary" also (Attachment A). DISCUSSION MIG will provide a PowerPoint Presentation (Attachment B) focused on process, progress update, key findings, and next steps. From there they will facilitate Council engagement with the plan through discussion focused on the Key Findings and answering questions.

PowerPoint Presentation 1 2 TUKWILA ARKS & RECREATION 3 4 Si t Parks and recreation are a bi part of community livability In Tukwila and a major asset and responsibility for the City. Services provided by or coordinated with the Parks and Recreation Department are wide ranging and provide opportunities for physical, mental, and social well-being. This summary describes the different aspects of parks and recreation services to provide a baseline of information for the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Plan update (the PROS Plan). Along with ideas and feedback gathered from the community engagement opportunities, key findings from this summer will help inform decisions related to community needs, recommendations, and priorities in later steps of the planning process. Planning Context The City has been planning for the future of parks and recreation for decades, providing guidance to base decision -making and future investments. The context for planning is also based on adopted plans, policies, and studies related to comprehensive planning, land use, environment, transportation, and regional and state guidance. The following provides a snapshot of some of the key planning and policy documents related to the parks and recreation system. 5 King County Planning Policies The Countywide Planning Policies (CCPs) supports the regional VISION 2040 by providing guidance for growth management issues in King County. Plans and policies adopted by local jurisdictions must provide conformance with these policies. Comprehensive Plan The Parks, Recreation and Open Space Elements of the Comprehensive Plan guides decision -making that is consistent with state and local policies, and community priorities. The City adopted the 2014 PROS Plan as reference to the PROS Element. The PROS Plan Update process will reexamine these comprehensive goals and policies and compare them with current trends, opportunities, and needs. Appendix A provides a list of relevant policies related to the PROS Plan update. Str art. gic Plan The Strategic Plan provides a guide for actions and investment for the next five to ten years. The Plan outlines five goals and many strategic objectives and strategies based on extensive community outreach. There are several areas that call for improved public spaces, safer parks, stronger partnerships, and more equitable opportunities for residents. Green Tukwila 20-Year Stewardship Plan The City of Tukwila formed a partnership with Forterra to evaluate the condition of forested parks and natural areas and develop a plan for restoration and management of 138 acres of land. Through the partnership, Tukwila is part of a larger network of Green Cities that share resources and expertise to ensure a more livable and healthier region. The Plan provides a framework for assessing conditions and outlining active management strategies to achieve the future vision. Non -Motorized Plan (Wa k and Roll) Adopted as Tukwila's first pedestrian and bicycle plan, the Walk and Roll Plan focuses on created complete streets that are designed for multiple modes and safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The plan outlines bicycle friendly routes and 6 /n�i,gm_r ~�W |w— P., ^m w � Potential public access opportunities ofthe Shoreline Master Program (Source:Shoreline Master Program). designs, as well axneighborhood linkages, programs, specific and projects. Transit Plan Analysis from the Transit Plan found that transit coverage in Tukwila islargely within proximity toresidents that are more likely touse transit and the destinations they need to access. The Transit Plan also described several opportunities tomeet additional needs, including expanded service iu north Tukwila, improved east -west connections, uswell os improved route coverage during off-peak service. Shore6oe Master Program Tukwila has approximately 12.5miles ofCreen/Donvanoisb River. The Shoreline Master Program provides regulatory conditions and guidelines for shoreline restoration and public use. Public access tuthe shorelines ofthe state isone o/the key goals o[the Shoreline Management Act. The 2Ul4 PROS Plan and Shoreline Master Program identify opportunities toadd connections tothe rivers atstreet ends. Adopted inZOl8,the Public Arts & Culture Master Plan describes possibilities for art and culture improvements iu several different priority areas u[the city, including the river, Tukwila International Boulevard, Tukwila Village, and SouLbcenter.The plan notes that parks and open spaces are ideal opportunities for potential art and culture improvements. Urban Center Subarea P�am The Subarea Plan calls for creating great public spaces and to ^uneurtb^Tukwila Pond and neighboring Green River as prominent amenities that enhance the identify of Soutbceutmr.The Subarea Plan calls for new development to beoriented towards the pond, especially along the northern edge, creating an"amenity mncbor" FILA'Aic Safety P|e n {n2U16,city voters approved upublic safety bond for improvements and upgrades 0xfire and life safety resources, and ajustice Center complex.

Commpetition with critical services Parks and recreation services must compete with other department budgets based ouvalue tothe community. {uthe Z019'2O20budget cycle, the City o[Tukwila adopted a priority -driven budget (Priority Based Budgeting) that aligns resources with the adopted Strategic Plan and community priorities. The City used auobjective scoring system and allocated the budget accordingly. The Public Safety Bond represents alarge share o[the budget, mostly within the Police and Fire budgets. Nearly all (90percent) o[parks maintenance ixwithin Tier 2,while 64percent ofthe budget for recreation isiothe top two tiers. Yet acomparison o[ three nearby cities in King County shows that Tukwila is dedicating less of its total expenditures on parks and recreation services, showing apotential need for greater resources for operations and maintenance (Table 4).

King County granted permission for the City to re -purpose the grant application to a new project at a lesser funding request. That new project is called, Equitable Access Initial Acquisition Work (Access), and will focus on looking for potential acquisition opportunities within identified recreational deserts aeseen on the attached map (Attachment A).toprovide improved access to recreational spaces. This project dovetails with the 1O4@inUteWalk Grant work as well. These two projects utilize the aanneCFT grant prognann, bovvever, they are on slightly different timelines because the Acquisition project isbond funded and the Access projectionot. The Acquisition bond funded project haea|reodybeenavvanded(AttechnnentE)andhJndonlaVbe available as soon as end of year 2019, whereas the Access project is on the non -bonded recommended projects list and is awaiting official award from King County Council which is scheduled for mid -November. That process is a couple months behind the bond process so funds will be available inearly 2O2O.

The Council approved $335,000.00 of Conservation Futures bond -backed funding for the project in Ordinance #18987. We have a new Interlocal Cooperation Agreement approved by King County Council under Ordinance #18978. The city and King County need to adopt this agreement prior to the release of Conservation Futures funds. The project should be completed within two years of King County Council's approval of funds. Please contact me at (206) 477-4578 or Ingrid.Lundinakinacounty.gov if you have any questions about this award. Sincerely, Ingrid Lundin Conservation Futures Program Coordinator 77 78 INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN KING COUNTY AND THE CITY OF TUKWILA FOR CONSERVATION FUTURES -FUNDED OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION PROJECTS THIS INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT is a grant agreement entered into between the CITY OF TUKWILA ("City") and KING COUNTY ("County"). Article I. Recitals On February 27, 1989, the King County Council passed Ordinance 8867, which established a process to allocate the proceeds of the Conservation Futures Fund. On September 21, 1989, the King County Council passed Ordinance 9128, which established a Conservation Futures Levy Fund to provide for the receipt and disbursement of Conservation Futures tax levy proceeds and established conditions for use of the Fund, including conditions covering allowable cost and expenses. On July 21, 2003, the King County Council passed Ordinance 14714, authorizing funding allocation procedures for King County Conservation Futures tax levy collections and amending Ordinance 8867, Section 2, as amended. The Conservation Futures Advisory Committee has recommended an allocation of Conservation Futures proceeds to specific projects from the Conservation Futures Levy Fund following notification to the cities that proceeds were available, provision of an opportunity for the cities to respond and receipt by the committee of requests for funding, all pursuant to Ordinance 8867, as amended by Ordinance 14714. 79 Starting in 1990 and through 2017, the King County Executive, as authorized by the King County Council, executed Interlocal Cooperation Agreements with the cities of Auburn, Bellevue, Black Diamond, Bothell, Burien, Carnation, Covington, Des Moines, Duvall, Enumclaw, Federal Way, Issaquah, Kenmore, Kent, Kirkland, Lake Forest Park, Mercer Island, Milton, Newcastle, Normandy Park, North Bend, Pacific, Redmond, Renton, Sammamish, Seattle, Shoreline, Snoqualmie and Tukwila, and Vashon Park District. Many of these agreements were amended over time to add new projects. The existing Interlocal Cooperation Agreements remain in place with an indefinite term for the projects for which Conservation Futures proceeds were disbursed. The agreements require the properties to be maintained as open space in perpetuity. The King County Council, by Ordinance 18978, has approved a new Interlocal Cooperation Agreement for future projects in order to add terms for the use of bond proceeds for certain projects, achieve consistency between the agreement and the King County Code, and make other technical changes. Pursuant to chapter 39.34 RCW, the parties agree to the following: Article II.

A week prior to that, on July 29, 2019, another park neighbor communicated with Councilmember Robertson and Mayor Ekberg regarding her concerns with safety in Crystal Springs Park. In response to these concerns, at the August 5, 2019 Regular Meeting, Council asked that staff bring this topic of safety in parks forward to a future council committee meeting for discussion. DISCUSSION Safety in parks is more than a parks maintenance or increased patrols issue, rather, a larger challenge to be looked at on a holistic view, utilizing multiple city departments and resources to adequately address. In Tukwila, our Parks and Police Departments work closely to address various challenges and hot spots as they arise in parks. There are two significant challenges staff face to sufficiently address safety in parks, limited resources (budget and staff capacity) and limited enforceability. Staff are doing a great job working within those limitations; however, the challenge continues to require more attention. Staff from Parks and Police will be present to help facilitate discussion with the Council Committee. Technology and Information Services (TIS) will also attend as a resource for discussion regarding security cameras. FINANCIAL IMPACT No financial impact at this time. If specific options to address safety in parks are implemented, they would have a cost associated with them. RECOMMENDATION Discussion only ATTACHMENTS A. Aerial Map of Cascade View Community Park B.

BACKGROUND Various federal, state, and local laws protect housing rights, including the Federal Fair Housing Act of 1968, the Washington State Residential Landlord -Tenant Act, and the Washington State Mobile Home Landlord -Tenant Act. The City of Tukwila has several local code provisions and programs in place that are designed to protect renters. Residential Rental Business License and Inspection Program Codified at Tukwila Municipal Code 5.06, this program was established in 2010 to protect the health and safety of renters by ensuring proper maintenance of housing units and requiring correction of substandard conditions. Rental unit owners are required to obtain an annual license and complete housing unit inspections every four years. In 2015 the inspection checklist was updated to incorporate National Healthy Housing Standards relating to pest management and mold. Source of Income Discrimination Codified at Tukwila Municipal Code 8.47 (Fair Housing Regulations), this ordinance was adopted in 2017 and prohibits property owners and landlords from refusing to rent to families or individuals based solely on the fact that their income includes government subsidies such as Section 8, HUD-VASH (Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing), or other assistance programs. Because the housing market in the area is so competitive with rising rents, people that rely on assistance programs are vulnerable to discrimination and this provides some protection. The State Legislature adopted source of income protections that became effective statewide on September 30, 2018. Relocation Assistance Adopted in 2006 and codified at Tukwila Municipal Code 8.46, this established a relocation assistance program for tenants whose dwellings have been condemned by the City. If the City determines that a landlord has failed to provide the tenant with relocation assistance as required by RCW 59.18.085, the City may advance the cost up to $2,000 or 3x the monthly rent, whichever is greater, and then require reimbursement from the landlord. 117 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 Rental & Utility Assistance The office of Human Services contracts with two agencies to provide once in a lifetime or up to $700 (lifetime maximum) rental/utility assistance to Tukwila residents. Agencies collect appropriate documentation, verify income, provide referrals to additional resources and distribute checks. Each household is screened for eligibility, need is verified, payments go directly to the documented property owner/utility provider. Funding for rental/utility assistance comes from the Human Services Professional Services budget, and approximately $45,000 is spent each year on rent and $15,000 is spent on utility assistance. Utility Tax Relief The City of Tukwila operates a utility tax relief program for low income residents that are either seniors over 62 or disabled. Eligible residents will receive a rebate check from the city for a 50% discount on utility taxes and surcharges. RECOMMENDATION Committee discussion. 118
