INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Community Affairs and Parks Committee
FROM: Brandon J. Miles, Senior Planner
DATE: March 19, 2012
SUBJECT: Amendments to Title 19, "Sign Code"
ISSUE
The purpose of tonight's meeting is for Community Affairs and Parks to provide the Department
of Community Development direction on possible changes to Title 19 of the Tukwila Municipal
Code "TMC commonly referred to as the "Sign Code."
BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION
On February 6, 2012, a presentation was made to the City Council regarding the new sign code,
which was adopted in August of 2010. The purpose of the presentation was to provide the City
Council an overview of how the sign code has been received by the community as well as to
initiate the process to make minor amendments to the Sign Code.
Attachment "A" to this staff report is a matrix that outlines those areas of the Sign Code that staff
believes changes are needed. Some of the changes are simply fixing of typos in the original
sign code; other changes require that the City Council provide staff policy direction in order to
address the specific item.
The matrix has been numbered 1 -9. The numbers listed below correspond with the matrix
numbers.
Minor Code Amendments- Policv Direction Needed
1. Commercial Signage on Fuel Canopies
The sign code does not allow signage on fuel canopies. This was an oversight in drafting the
sign code and staff recommends amending the sign code to allow a small wall sign on fuel
canopies. The previous sign code allowed one wall sign on a fuel canopy, up to 20% of the
exposed building face.' While 20% of the exposed building face may seem large, in reality, the
small area of the exposed building face of the canopy structure severely limits the size of the
wall sign. In most cases the wall signs installed under the previous sign code ranged in area
between four and eight square feet.
1 TMC 19.32.160 (2)
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that service stations be permitted to install one flush mounted building wall
per elevation on fuel canopies. The sign can be illuminated, with a maximum size of five square
feet.
2. Streamline Permit Process for Conforming Freestanding Signs.
The Sign Code requires that a permit be obtained for any reface or copy change to an existing
freestanding sign. However, the code requirement is burdensome to owners of freestanding
signs that comply with the City's sign code.
Staff Recommendation
Staff would like to allow refaces and copy changes to freestanding signs that meet the current
code to be accomplished without having to obtain a new permit. Thus, a property owner would
only have to obtain a permit once.
3. Electronic Plan Submittal
Many cities are moving to electronic plan submittals for all types of permits. Electronic plan
submittal allows for permits to be submitted via email with fees paid using credit cards. Review
of plans submitted electronically is also done electronically, essentially the process is "paper
free." DCD is hoping to start accepting permits electronically when the City switches to a new
permit system in 2013. Electronic submittal of sign permits is a logical first step in moving the
entire City to electronic plan submittal. Sign permits are fairly straight forward and have a very
basic review process. Staff would like to encourage contractors to move to electronic plan
submittal by reducing the permit fee for those contractors who take advantage of the system.

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the permit fee for sign permits submitted electronically be reduced by
$50.
4. Annexation Areas
The City has two remaining potential annexation areas. Upon annexation, the City will have to
address a range of issues related to non conformities, including non conforming signs. Staff
would like to be proactive in this area by adopting code language that will specify the regulation
of non conforming signs in certain areas upon annexation.
In order to reduce the impact of the new sign code, the City provided a grace period for signs
that met the provisions of the old sign code, but became non conforming with the adoption of
the new sign code. For example, freestanding signs that became non conforming were
provided a ten year grace period before they were required to come into compliance with the
current sign code regulation. The grace period ends in August of 2010. Under the grace period,
freestanding signs can be refaced and copy change, with a permit, provided there are no
structural alternations to the sign. Staff believes a similar concept can be employed for
annexation areas.

Staff Recommendation
Provide signs in annexation areas with a ten year grace period, which would start on the
effective date of the annexation. Signs may be refaced and receive copy changes, with a permit,
during the grace period.
5. Add Airport Way as a Billboard Receiving Area
In order to encourage the removal of billboards within the City, the City Council established two
"billboard receiving areas The purpose of these billboard receiving areas is to provide
locations for new billboards, provided a set number of billboards are removed within "designated
sending areas." TMC 19.08.067 establishes the following two billboard receiving areas:
a. The southern billboard receiving area includes all of West Valley Highway, south of S.
180 Street and all of S. 180 Street east of West Valley Highway.
b. The northern billboard receiving areas includes all properties along East Marginal Way,
north of Boeing Access Road and all properties along Boeing Access Road.
Establishment of the billboard receiving areas was an attempt to to balance areas of the City
where the Council would accept billboard structures, while at the same time establishing areas
in which billboard companies would be willing to locate. The receiving areas are generally
heavy and light industrial areas, which are distant from the urban core and residential areas.
The sending areas are all areas of the City that are not designed as billboard receiving areas
zones (TMC 19.08.069).
An applicant must secure the removal of existing billboards in order to install a new billboard in
one of the two designed receiving areas. Billboards that are to be removed must be located in
sending areas. TMC 19.38 provides a specific formula which requires that the applicant
remove more billboards within the sending areas than is proposed to be installed. To provide
an example of this code at work: a new billboard has been approved to be constructed at the
southeast corner of West Valley Highway and S. 180 Street. The proposed billboard will have
one face and pursuant to TMC 19.38.040 the applicant is required to secure the removal of
three billboard faces. Given that the r billboard must be removed within the designed "sending
area," the applicant has proposed to remove two billboard structures along Tukwila International
Boulevard and one along East Marginal Way.
In administering the billboard code staff realized that Airport Way was not included as a
billboard receiving area and thus, by definition, is a billboard sending area. The properties along
Airport Way have the same land use as those along East Marginal Way. The primary reason to
include Airport Way as a billboard receiving zone is so billboard companies do not propose to
remove existing billboards along Airport Way in order to get credit for new billboard construction.
In staff's opinion, the City should focus on billboard removal within the core of Tukwila
International Blvd and near residential zones.
Staff Recommendation
Include Airport Way as a billboard receiving area.
6. Pole Banners fee and Expansion of Allowable Zones
The Sign Code allows for the display of banners on lights poles within parking lights within the
Tukwila Urban Center (TUC). The purpose of allowing these banners was to encourage a
festive style of signage at commercial developments. Unfortunately, no property owner has
ZADCD n ClerWsTrandonlRiverton DAUP, 2012.03.2612012 Memo for merge.doc 5
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 6
taken advantage of the ability to install these banners. In talking with property owners it seems
that the permit fee of $222 for the installation is a deterrent.
The banners are also only permitted for commercial properties in the TUC zone. With Tukwila
Village moving forward staff thinks it would be useful to allow properties in the Neighborhood
Commercial Center (NCC) to be able to install pole banners. This would allow the Tukwila
Village site and other properties along TIB to install flag pole banners.
Staff Recommendation
Reduce the permit fee for pole banner applications to $25 for the initial application and $15 for
the renewal; allow pole banners to be displayed in the NCC zone.
7. LEED and Built Green Certification
The City of Tukwila has very few incentives for encouraging the construction of LEED and Built
Green Buildings. The sign code provides an avenue for rewarding development in the City that
is built to reduce its environmental impacts. Recently, Starbucks built the City's first LEED
certified building on East Marginal Way South. As part of this review process, staff learned that
often times the LEED process requires that educational signage be installed to provide
education to users of the site. Staff would suggest a nominal bonus be permitted for LEED and
Built Green Certified Buildings.
Staff Recommendation
Staff proposes that structures that are certified as LEED or Built Green be permitted to have a
one percent increase in sign area for any allowed freestanding sign and a .5% area increase for
all permitted wall signs.
Housina Kee
Staff recommends that the following housekeeping items be amended in the Sign Code.
8. Add notes on Billboard Receiving Maps (Exhibit A and B of Code)
Some confusion exists between the maps (Exhibits A and B of the Sign Code) and the specific
code language regarding which areas of the City are designated as billboard receiving areas.
The maps inadvertently left off some areas of the City that were specifically called out in the
Code language. Staff has applied the specific code language; however, staff would like to
provide a note on exhibits A and B which would clarify the issue.
9. Correct scriber's error in TMC 19.20.050 (4)
A scriber's error at TMC 19.20.050 (F)(4)(b) needs to be fixed. Subsection 5 should actually be
subsection "c This not a policy change, but simply fixes an error in the original Ordinance.

RECOMMENDATION
The goal of this evening's meeting is for the Committee to provide policy direction on the
proposed amendments to Title 19 outlined above. The Committee can also ask staff to examine
any other amendments to Title 19 that it feels are needed. Based on the outcome of tonight's
meeting, staff will come back to the Committee on April 9, 2012 that represents the
recommendation of the Committee. Staff anticipated a public hearing to be held on April 23,
2012, with possible Council action on May 7, 2012.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Community Affairs Parks Committee
FROM: Rick Still, Parks and Recreation Director'
Dave Johnson, Recreation Superintendent
DATE: March 21, 2012
SUBJECT: TEEN CENTER PROPOSAL
ISSUE
Tukwila Teen Center as a proposed use for the KCLS Foster Library building.
BACKGROUND
In response to a Council member request, the Parks and Recreation Staff has updated a
proposal for potentially operating a Teen Center in the current KCLS Foster Library building,
once the new Library is built. The majority of the research and site visits were conducted in
2009 as part of our initial development of a Teen Center proposal. We have continued our
research on Teen Centers and have updated the Teen Center proposal (attached).
This proposal does not consider alternate uses or combined uses for the KCLS Foster Library
building like, a police Neighborhood Resource Center, an Emergency Operations Center, or a
School Annex building. Additionally, the acquisition costs of the building have not been factored
into this proposal. The original 2009 proposal was put together to "get an idea" of what could be
offered in the building once the new library is built.
DISCUSSION
According to the 2010 U.S. Census, there are 1,909 teens living in Tukwila between the ages of
10 and 17. Teenagers today face an abundant number of struggles, challenges, and decisions
on a daily basis (sometimes hourly). Many of these challenges could affect them for the rest of
their lives. Teenagers today are at a crossroads. Sometimes it is easy for them to fall into the
traps and huge temptations that surround them. The Teen Programs provided by the Tukwila
Parks and Recreation Department's Teen Programs offer activities that are positive and
uplifting. The staff and volunteers that work in these programs serve as advocates, mentors,
and role models for these teens. The teens are OUR FUTURE. A Tukwila Teen Center would
provide a more consistent opportunity for the City to further encourage and model a positive
influence on our youth today and our future leaders of tomorrow.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact for this proposal would be a one -time start -up cost of approximately
$59,000 and an annual "program" cost of approximately $42,000.
RECOMMENDATION

I:
INTRODUCTION
A Teen Center run by the Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department would be an incredibly
valuable asset and resource for our youth, and reinforce the City's commitment to teens in this
community. A Teen Center would capitalize on the strong relationship our staff has built with
the teens, parents, Tukwila School District personnel, and the Community Schools
Collaboration. This proposal is based on research, professional experience, general budget
projections, and from visiting different Teen Centers around the region.
A Teen Center would amplify how the Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department programs for
the teens in our community. A Teen Center would become the focal point of teen programs
and activities in Tukwila. While a Teen Center provides teens with their own space, we would
continue to utilize other facilities to complement the Teen Center, such as the Tukwila
Community Center and the schools. Additional emphasis would be placed on building student
led groups and focusing efforts to engage students. We would work to identify ambassadors
among the students and community that are committed to the teens in Tukwila with the goal of
being a voice for the teens in Tukwila.
We feel that the Foster Library site is an ideal location for a Teen Center in Tukwila based on
its proximity to Foster High School and Showalter Middle School and presents us with a great
opportunity to eliminate the transportation challenges for students to participate in activities.
The convenient location to Tukwila Pool is also a benefit. This proposal is based on a Teen
Center located at the current Foster Library site.
PROGRAMMING
A Teen Center provides an excellent opportunity for the City to further reach the teens in our
community. The success of a Teen Center will depend on engaging teens in the programming
component at the Teen Center. Working with the schools to create a Teen Center Advisory
Board will be a key factor to engaging teens in programming activities. This will help create the
sense and feeling that the Teen Center belongs to the teens and the community. It empowers
them and will have a high impact on them.
Many of the Teen Centers we visited have worked with businesses and community partners to
provide equipment and supplies to the Center(s). Examples of equipment include stages,
cafes, computers, sound editing equipment, dedicated rooms, etc. Typically, the partners
supply equipment in exchange for advertisement. In this way, we will seek out opportunities
with local businesses and community partners to support the teens in our community and help
the Teen Center reach its full potential.
For the purposes of this proposal, Programming is
broken down into four main areas: Recreation,
Resources, Education Tutoring, and Special
Events. Again, this proposal is currently without
Teen /Community engagement and only represents
concepts. A Teen Center at the Foster Library site
may include a main area, multi purpose room, a
computer lab and /or a music room /studio.

Below is breakdown of potential programming /areas for a Teen Center at Foster Library:
OPERATIONS
The operation of a Teen Center would require the Teen Recreation Program Specialist to re-
locate offices from the Tukwila Community Center to the Teen Center to be available to make
the connections with our teens and to be at the facility when the building is open. The
Youth /Teen Coordinator would likely share office space between the Teen Center and the
Community Center. This proposal is a baseline for where we would start staffing, as the
Recreation Specialist would be working the majority of the operating hours. We propose to
have extra labor staff to support to the Specialist in the areas of:
Supervising activities, student groups, and
events under the direction of the Teen
Specialist.
Serving as lead staff in the teen center and all
other programs in the absence of the Teen
Specialist.

Lab
multi purpose room at the Foster Library site would be a perfect place for a
computer

Music
The
Foster Library has a few small rooms that could serve as great place to
Room /Studio
put a small music studio in.

The operation of a Teen Center would require the Teen Recreation Program Specialist to re-
locate offices from the Tukwila Community Center to the Teen Center to be available to make
the connections with our teens and to be at the facility when the building is open. The
Youth /Teen Coordinator would likely share office space between the Teen Center and the

The extra labor hired to assist the operation of the Teen Center will fit into our existing
Temporary Seasonal Pay Schedule and would depend on the operating hours. Additionally,
Volunteers play an important role in our current Teen Programs and we will continue to recruit
and involve volunteers in a new teen center.
We will continue to develop a strong partnership with the Tukwila Police Department to ensure
safety, security, and relationship building with staff and teens. Minimally, we need to have
routine drive through by Police. Ideally, we'd like an officer on -site during events.
The Teen Centers that we visited all had nightly custodial service. We will need this service to
ensure the overall cleanliness of our facility and these costs would need to be considered.
HOURS OF OPERATION
There are a variety of options to serve the teens with the hours of operation. These scenarios
are only a sample of what can be done and a few different models based on the information
we gathered as we visited other functioning teen centers. We have continued our existing
successful Friday Late night program at the Tukwila Community Center into consideration with
these different options.

BUDGET
REVENUE
When we visited other Teen Centers, we had the opportunity to discuss their fee model with
them. The consensus was that charging admission resulted in fewer teens participating in the
daily activities, however, charging for event nights or special activities did not affect
participation. Many of the families in Tukwila are economically challenged as evidence by
roughly 80% of the students in Tukwila School District qualifying for the Free /Reduced Lunch
Program.
We would seek input from City Council on the Cost Recovery model expected for this
operation. Keeping in mind that this a more service -based approach, we propose a
combination of modest drop -in fees ($1) and passes for daily activities. Special events may
call for special rates. Depending on the number of participants and operating hours, we
anticipate revenue between $13,000 $25,000.

CONCLUSION
A Teen Center provides teens with a safe place to grow, connect, and play. Tukwila Parks and
Recreation staff would expand programs, provide more after school programming, and have
an even greater impact on the lives of Tukwila teens. With the staggering number of immigrant
and refugee families with children relocating and settling in Tukwila, the teen center would be a
great place where they can come and learn things about our culture and meet friends.
A teen center offers the teens a place to "hang" and a steady, stable place to help keep them
engaged in a positive setting. The teen center would further strengthen the Department's
partnerships with the Tukwila School District, the Tukwila Pool, the Police Department, and the
Human Services Division; and enhance our relationships with the teens.
A teen center would be a valuable resource in Tukwila. The relocation of the KCLS Foster
Library presents the city with a unique and exciting opportunity to provide a very visible
commitment from the city towards developing and encouraging our teens to become well
rounded and active community members now and in the future.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM

Community Affairs Parks Committee
FROM: Rick Still, Parks and Recreation Director
Dave Johnson, Recreation Superintendent
DATE: March 21, 2012
SUBJECT: RECREATION DIVISION 2011 RECAP
ISSUE
City Council requested an update on the Recreation Programs. In 2010, the Parks and
Recreation Department received direction from City Council to reduce overall expenditures and
increase Cost Recovery for 2011 Recreation programs.
BACKGROUND
Through a thorough budget process in 2010, City -wide reductions yielded a budget reduction of
14.2% for the Recreation Division. To achieve this, a number of cuts occurred including FTE
reduction from 15.5 to 12, along with reductions in Extra Labor (seasonal part -time labor),
Supplies, and Other Services. Recreation revenue expectations also increased by nearly 21
Further, Council provided direction to the Division to 1) revise fees to increase Cost Recovery
while recognizing the issues of pricing participants out of programs, 2) priority ranking of City
subsidies for Recreation programs and services, 3) Non Residents should pay more for
Recreation programs and services, and 4) consider Rental Rates and Policies for rentals.
DISCUSSION
Increased Cost Recovery has been achieved through the budget process and on -going cost
containment measures. In some cases, program fees have also been increased. Total Cost
Recovery for the Division has grown to over 43% and the General Fund subsidy has decreased
25% since 2007. While Direct Cost Recovery for Recreation Division is over 100 the
challenge with increased fees is pricing participants out of a program, particularly in a
community where nearly 80% of the students are on Free /Reduced Lunch and seniors are on
fixed income.
Priority ranking of cost Recovery for each program has been helpful, and you will see how the
actual Recovery compares the Model. At the time of the discussion, the primary concern was
related to Rentals, and that they achieve as close to full Recovery as possible. Total Recreation
Division Cost Recovery for Rental Programs is 96%
The division has implemented a Non Resident Fee Schedule, and we have reviewed,
evaluated, and implemented new rental rates and policies for Tukwila Community Center.

and Recreation is a key contributor to livable communities and helps
make Tukwila a place that people want to live and stay. Recreation programs and
activities provide a wealth of positive benefits for people, their development, and
overall community health. There are numerous studies citing these benefits, which
include Physical Mental Health, Social Importance, Cultural Significance, and
Economic Value. The City of Tukwila Parks and Recreation provides programs,
activities, and services that are close -to -home, low -cost, and readily available.
These programs and services improve a community's Quality of Life, meet the
needs of the community, and offer the following advantages:
Reduce Obesity and Diminish Risk of Chronic Disease
Reduce Crime 4 Unite Families
Strengthen Community Improve Quality of Life
Promote Stewardship Support Seniors
Develop Youth
2011 was a challenging year for the City trying to recover from certain budget projections and adjusting to
new ways of doing business. Through a lengthy and thorough budget process, City -wide reductions yielded a
budget expenditure reduction of 14.2% for the Recreation Division. To achieve this, a number of cuts occurred
including FTE reduction from 15.5 to 12 (22.5% reduction through 2.0 Administrative Support Assistants, 1.0
Recreation Program Specialist, and 0.5 Recreation Program Assistant); Extra Labor reduced by $73,939, Supplies
reduced by $17,694, Other Services reduced by $5,517. Additionally, Recreation revenue expectations increased
by over $165,000 (nearly 21 Combined Expenditure reductions and Revenue increase resulted in net impact of
over $470,000.
In response to Council Direction at the July 6, 2010 City Council Regular Meeting, the Recreation Division
worked to implement 4 elements. First, the Division revised fees to increase Cost Recovery while recognizing the
issue of pricing participants out of a program. The challenge to this is finding the price point that meets the
Increased Cost Recovery benchmark while minimizing participant loss in a community where most Seniors are on
fixed incomes and nearly 80% of students are on free /reduced lunch. It's worth noting that Recreation Budgeting
differs from other Departments. When a program does not meet registration levels, it's cancelled and there are
only minimal (or perhaps no) Direct Costs associated with the program. Similarly, no revenue is realized.
Increased Cost Recovery can be achieved by reducing costs, increasing participation, increasing fees, or a
combination of all three. Cost reduction was achieved through the budget process and on -going cost containment
measures. Increasing participation is nearly always a goal in Recreation because that means that we are able to
positively impact the lives of more people. In 2010, many programs were at or near capacity. In 2011, we found
that many activities and programs had declining participation levels. Based on customer feedback, the primary
factor in participant loss were fee increases that were implemented to increase Cost Recovery and meet revenue
"Leweall the afternoon fotexerc goals. As a result of higher fees, fewer people are able to af-
recreation, wliichtesnecessatyast�?z/%ncf ford the program or service, and subsequently, our programs
willrathersaymore n ccessatybecaus_he'al #fiis served fewer people. Due to lower participation levels in
2011, there was less revenue and fewer expenditures, which
wort more than l ewv mg.' resulted in the Recreation Division giving $110,000 in unspent
ThO177,75kffet:F0171 expenditures back the General Fund.
Secondly, Council Direction guided the Division toward a
priority ranking of City subsidies for Recreation programs
and services. It was recommended that Youth and Teen
programs have the most subsidy (least Cost Recovery),
followed by Senior Programs, General Programs, and
finally Rentals to include as best effort to achieve Full
Cost Recovery (see Figure 1).
The report will show Cost Recovery rates for a couple of
different measures. Please see page "Reference" on page
15 for description of different Cost Recovery levels.
Next, Council indicated that Non Residents should pay more than residents for recreation programs and services.
In 2011, the Recreation Division implemented a Non Resident Fee Schedule for programs and activities. It is a
sliding scale based on the resident rate, with the non resident rate between 10 25% higher.
Lastly, the Recreation Division was asked to consider Rental Rates and Policies for public, non profit, and other City
department use of the Tukwila Community Center. To obtain the desired the Cost Recovery of near 100 most
rental rates were increased. See page 12 for impact of modified rates.
The Division implemented these elements with mixed success. In most cases, we have accomplished these goals,
however, challenges remain. This report will recap 2011 in each program area and will attempt to show each
program area's activities, changes that happened in 2011 as part of the cost reductions, cost recovery, and things
we are looking forward to in 2012.

PROGRAMS YOUTH
It o uth programs through Tukwila Parks and Recreation provide the
community with excellent recreation activities that help unite families and
improve the quality of life for our youth. With the increased youth obesity,
participating in recreation programs helps combat this epidemic through
active play. Our youth programs also provide positive youth development
both personally and socially to every child that participates in our
programs. 75% of our youth leaders are past participants who returned
because of the value that recreation had in their life and their desire to
pass that along and have a similar impact for the next generation.

Camp Tukwilly (Summer Day Camp) The Resident fees were increased by $15 /week (13%
increase) along with the implementation of a new Non Resident fee. As a result of the fee
increase, participation declined from an average of 94 kids /week in 2010 to only 69 kids per
week in 2011 (27% decrease in participation).
Fright Night The Free Fright Night event was eliminated from the 2011 budget. Due to the
size of this event, Recreation worked with the Special Events division and Parks Commission
to help make the event happen. Additionally, we charged a fee to help offset the cost of the
event. This event typically sees attendance near 900 for a free event. In 2011, there were
nearly 600 (33% decrease in participation).
Preschool Due to union negotiations and budget reductions, the pre school instructor
was laid of in August 2011. The Department did not have other FTE resources to trans-
fer to the program and due to existing labor agreements we were unable to contract or
hire extra labor and the Program was cancelled.
Spring Egg Hunt The Free Spring Egg Hunt event was eliminated from the 2011 budget.
Youth Teen Basketball Washington State Department of Revenue now requires that
we charge sales tax for this activity. Budget reductions resulted in a number of
measures to reduce costs we no longer provide coaches shirts, trophies or basketballs
to each kid, and we reduced the number of games. Participation in the league is down
by about 50 kids (13% decrease in participation).

25% of 10th graders were either obese or overweight. The activities
offered by Tukwila Parks and Recreation help to combat this
growing epidemic by getting teens active and moving around. We
provide teens with creative and uplifting activities that offer a
constructive alternative to crime and develop teens into positive

Friday Late Night Funding for Friday Late Night was reduced in 2011 by nearly 45 The Raikes Grant and level of
volunteer involvement has allowed us to continue running this program at the same service level. Although the fee
increased to $2, participation in this program is at an all -time high.
Teen Summer Camp During the budget process, funding for
Teen Summer Camp was reduced in 2011 by nearly 85 As a
result, staff had to get creative in programming. Rather than
offer a full 5 day per week program for teens, we took the best
and most popular component of the 2010 camp and
programmed for a 2 day per week trip camp. To meet the Cost
Recovery and Revenue goal, the fee was increased. The fee
proved to be too high and only 2 of the 20 trips went. The
participation decreased from an average of 23 kids per week in
2010 to 1.4 kids per week in 2011 (94% decrease). Revenue
declined in 2011 by $27,381 compared to 2010.

Survey —based programming We surveyed Tukwila Teens to help us with our summer programming. We received
great feedback with 126 responses, 93.7% residents. Based on the survey results, we are making plans to extend
our Friday Late Night program into the Summer months, as well as adding some Wednesday evening activities.
TeenVenture Camp We have re- structured our Summer Camp Program to be more responsive to the needs of the
community. TeenVenture Camp is a re -brand of Adventure Camp. Adventure Camp was for grades 5 -6. The new
TeenVenture Camp is for 6 -8.
Teen Room Re- programming some of the rooms at Tukwila Community
Center will lead to the ability for the Division to offer a Teen Room. Teen
activities are becoming a greater community need and we are experiencing
record level of participation in the Friday Late Night, and input from teens for
more activities.

T C ecreation Division has implemented the strategies to reduce expenses as outlined earlier (budget reductions, etc.).
Additionally, the Division has attempted to meet Council direction by revising fees to increase Cost Recovery while recognizing
the issue of pricing participants out a program. Figure 2 below compares the Cost Recovery Model as outlined by Council vs.
both the actual Direct Cost Recovery and Total Cost Recovery.

The Non Resident Fee Schedule was implemented, and the Division has reviewed and evaluated rental rates, and implemented
new fees and policies.
The Division has attempted to contain costs, and reduce the liability to the General Fund Subsidy. Figures 3a 3b below shows
the reduction in spending, and historical information on expenditures, General Fund Subsidy and Cost Recovery (CR) since 2007.
As you can see from the figures below, the Recreation Division's General Fund Subsidy has decreased 25% since 2007, and Cost
Recovery has increased.

such as Special Populations Program and Senior Volleyball. Additionally, our Senior
I TOTAL 51%
resident participation rate has changed as folks move away from Tukwila but return
for Senior Recreation Programs as these activities tend to be more relationship- based.
Resident Participation
As a result you get more non residents attending programs.
The Recreation Division takes great pride in representing the City's Mission and Core Values, particularly in preserving and
enhancing a vibrant and healthy quality of life by providing caring, effective and efficient service. The challenge is to meet the
needs of the community while recovering costs. Increasing Cost Recovery has led to higher fees which has resulted in lower
participation as families are not able to afford programs and therefore we are reaching less of the community.
