TO:
City of Tukwila
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Finance & Governance Committee
FROM: Tracy Gallaway, Parks & Recreation Director
Vicky Carlsen, Finance Director
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: March 14, 2022
SUBJECT: Summer Camp Programming and Enrichment Funding Allocation
ISSUE
Staff is planning to use the Summer Camp allocation of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds
to restore the Teen Summer Camp & Enrichment Programs to include our traditionally offered
TeenVenture Camp and teen enrichment offerings (summer kick off, night activities, drop-in open -
gym, soccer club).
BACKGROUND
As a part of the pandemic -related budget reductions all teen programming at Tukwila
Community Center was eliminated. Staff have been able to bring back a couple of activities for
the school year with the limited budget that was left for teens. However, with the use of the
ARPA funds, staff will be able to bring back the summer offerings for Tukwila Teens.
DISCUSSION
Staff will use all the Summer Camp ARPA allocation to fully fund Teen Summer Camp &
Enrichment Programs in summer 2022. Staff will track these costs within the Teen Programs
Budget in the financial system.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There will be no new financial impact to the budget. This will require Finance to make budget
adjustments to allocate the funding and track expenditures in the proper budget groups within
the Parks & Recreation Budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Information only.
