Allan Ekberg, Mayor
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Services & Safety Committee
FROM: Tracy Gallaway, Parks & Recreation Director
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: November 15, 2021
SUBJECT: Tukwila Pond Master Plan Project Update
BACKGROUND
In October 2020 we began the Tukwila Pond Master Plan project with our consultant team from
JA Brennan Associates.
The purpose of this project is to develop a long-term, all encompassing, master plan for Tukwila
Pond that will serve as a road map both now, and into the future. This road map will be a
visionary master plan with identified goals, partnership opportunities with surrounding
businesses, conceptual designs, and realistic implementation strategies.
The project team spent six months gathering information through a series of engagement
sessions with community members, local organizations, businesses, neighboring property
owners, and City staff which led to a draft Master Plan that was presented to the community in
July 2021.
DISCUSSION
The project team is utilizing the information we have gathered to develop the final Master Plan
document. Due to the complexity of this project, we have determined that more time is needed
to prepare the document for presentation to City Council. Additionally, we have convened inter-
departmental work groups in specific topic areas: Leadership, Finance, Ecology & Infrastructure,
Commercial Development, and Communication & Community Advocacy that will work together
to build a foundation for successful implementation of this long-term plan.
We are proposing presenting the Master Plan document and draft Resolution at a Committee of
the Whole (COW) meeting during the first quarter of 2022.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
RECOMMENDATION
Discussion only.
