BACKGROUND An agency has a Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan for a number of reasons. It helps to establish the parks and recreation needs of a community and identifies strategies to meet those needs. It establishes a 6-year Capital Improvement Plan and provides policy and standards to guide the department for the future. It also serves as the Open Space Plan which is required for the City to be eligible for State and Federal grant funding. Staff is proposing to adopt an updated PROS Plan in 2020 for the following reasons: • The most recent PROS Plan was adopted in 2014 and expired in 2019. • The PROS Plan was budgeted to be updated in 2019 according to the 2019 — 2024 Financial Planning Model and Capital Improvement Program. • The PROS Plan serves as the Master Plan for Parks, Recreation, and Open Space. In order to continue to qualify for Federal and State Grant Funding, this must be updated. • Significant changes have occurred since the current PROS Plan was adopted in 2014, including demographic, financial climate, service providers, and department staffing levels. The plan will help to forecast future trends and their impact on parks and recreation. • The PROS Plan evaluates the parks system, recreation programs, facilities, and events; identifies underserved portions of the community; and provides recommendations and funding strategies to help meet identified needs. • The PROS Plan takes into account the City's Strategic Plan, Comprehensive Plan, countywide planning policies, and the Growth Management Act. The current 2014 — 2019 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan was adopted by Ordinance Number 2207 on February 18, 2014 and amended by Ordinance Number 2573 on May 7, 2018 (in conjunction with the Parks Impact Fees update). Staff have been working with a consultant, MIG, since May 2019 to update the PROS Plan. 3 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 On October 29, 2019, MIG presented an update to the Community Development and Neighborhoods Council Committee on the PROS Plan process and accomplishments. The update included community engagement efforts, needs assessment findings, and key challenges, barriers, and potential opportunities. The 2019 CDN Committee provided valuable input on the plan development. At the December 4, 2019 Community Development and Neighborhoods Council Committee, staff shared the top ten key needs identified through the community engagement process, along with capital projects and priorities. The Council Committee reviewed, discussed, and provided feedback to staff to help guide future decision making on capital projects and priorities that best address the key needs. The culmination of all the community and committee work is captured in the draft 2020 — 2025 PROS Plan, which is complete and open to the public for review and comment. DISCUSSION A draft version of the PROS Plan was made available to the public on Friday, February 14, 2020 for review and comment (Attachment A). The review period closes Sunday, March 1, 2020. Concurrently, the draft PROS Plan was distributed to all Councilmembers. Staff are facilitating review and discussion of the draft plan with both the Community Services & Safety and Planning & Economic Development Council Committees. Additionally, there is a public hearing scheduled for February 24, 2020 Committee of the Whole. Once the review period closes, the consultant will update the plan and a final version will be Presented at the March 23, 2020 Committee of the Whole, and subsequent April 6, 2020 Regular Meeting for adoption by ordinance (Attachment B). The final plan will need to be adopted at the April 6, 2020 Regular Meeting to be eligible to apply in this 2-year cycle for potential future grant funding from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO). If the plan is not adopted by that time, special permission will have to be pursued from RCO to become eligible, however, it is not guaranteed.

There are several reasons why this update is important. Notably, the need to understand how community preferences and trends have changed over the past several years, identify priorities for future investments, and to remain eligible for state funding: a major resource for implementing projects (the Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) requires plans to be updated every six years). Since adoption of the 2014 PROS Plan, the City has completed or initiated all the short-term or "active" projects identified in the project list, as well as other projects that were pending as of 2014 such as phases 1 and 2 of Duwamish Hill Preserve, an off -leash dog park at Crestview Park, and a play area expansion and improvements at Cascade View Park. In addition to capital projects, the City has actively pursued many programs or initiatives related to parks and recreation such as the Healthy Tukwila program, expansion of the After -School Recreation Program, and implementation of the 20-Year Green Tukwila Restoration Plan. Key Changes From 2014 PROS Plan Similar to the 2014 planning effort, the PROS Plan Update process relied on a robust and inclusive engagement effort with the Tukwila community. Based on results of these conversations and key needs, the majority of the goals and policies from the 2014 planning process remain just as relevant today. However, there are several key changes between the 2014 Plan and the PROS Plan Update described below. • Improve close -to -home opportunities: Prior to beginning the process, the City received a grant from the 10-Minute Walk Campaign to understand and address ways to get people to use parks, especially within a close distance to home (a 10-minute walk). Several recommendations in the PROS Plan Update address this topic including pop-up/mobile PLANNING I DESIGN I C O M M U N I C A T I O N S I MANAG E M ENTI SCIENCEI TECHNOLOGY 815 SW 2nd Avenue, Suite 200 • Portland, OR 97204 • USA • 503-297-1005 FAX 503-297-3195 • www.migcom.com Offices in: California • Colorado • Oregon • Texas Washington 11 programming (Recommendation PE3), system -wide signage and wayfinding (Recommendation WA1) and new park search areas to improve park access in underserved areas. • A focus on quality experiences: The project team observed and characterized site conditions at several parks to better understand potential improvements. Results of these observations helped inform system -wide recommendations and priorities for specific capital improvements in individual parks. • Reinvesting in Tukwila Pond: The PROS Plan Update includes the Tukwila Pond Park concept that illustrates potential site improvements based on community feedback, existing and past plans and studies, and site potential. • Increase investment in existing parks and maintenance: Since 2014 there were several changes that impacted available resources for park and recreation operations and maintenance. The PROS Plan Update planning process included a comparison of different park systems similar to Tukwila to understand the level of resources used in these communities and provide a benchmark for future services. • Guidelines for park design and development: A consistent and comprehensive set of design and development guidelines for future parks is critical in achieving the type of public parks and facilities desired by the city. The PROS Plan Update includes a set of these guidelines to direct future investments (Technical Supplement Q. • Site -specific recommendations: The 2014 PROS Plan focused on potential capacity of city parks and used six different categories and accompanying maps to identify general "focus areas" for future investment. The PROS Plan Update provides site -specific recommendations and presents a proposed system map and project list that details improvements for each park. • Streamlined layout and organization: The PROS Plan update includes more graphics and photos and is more concise. The goals and policies are moved from Chapter 3 to Chapter 2, and community needs is combined with the goals and policies to reduce the number of document chapters. MIG.

Public Draft Plan Review and Changes The City released the Public Draft Plan for review from February 14, 2020 - March 2,2020. The following list describes how the project team gathered feedback on the document. • City Council and Park Commission: City staff distributed the Public Draft Plan to the City Council and Park Commission for review on February 14, MIG, Inc. 3 13 2020. Staff met with Council committees to discuss the document on February 24, 2020 and on March 2, 2020. Staff also met with the Park Commission to discuss the document on February 19, 2020. • Online comment form: The document was available on the City's website and the site included a comment form to solicit comments. • Project Stakeholder Meeting: The project team held a meeting with representatives from the Trust for Public Land, Global to Local, and Tukwila's Community Engagement Manager to discuss the Draft Plan and identify next steps for carrying out the plan and continuing community outreach. The following table lists all comments received from the community and stakeholders from Draft Plan review. The table includes responses that clarify how each comment was addressed. MIG' Inc.

However, a comparison of total existing budget for parks and recreation with the recommended costs for capital projects is not equivalent. The recommended costs presented in Chapter 4 are based on the relative scale of resources needed for all capital improvements and maintenance over the long term and is not intended for use as annual department -level budgeting. Implementing the priority projects will require additional discussion for consideration into the city-wide CIP and annual budgeting. 3 n/a A high-level summary of either the entire plan, The Executive Summary provides a brief overview each chapter, changes from the last plan, of the PROS Plan. The project team also provided recommendations, etc. a memo that summarizes key changes from the 2014 Plan and a brief summary of each chapter.
