However, with our have on its agenda to limited CIP budget, we have no major projects present in the next year, not involving planned in this next biennium.

Phone: 206-433-1800 • Email: Mayor@TukwilaWA,gov • Website: TukwilaWA.gov 265 City Administrator's Report September 14, 2022 Page 4 August 22, 2022 Councilmember Sharp asked if Parks has investigated ways to make the Golf course solvent. Has there been any talk about having that facility sold to a private outfit to run? Sold outright and taxing the new entity? Foster Golf Course continues to show growth in annual rounds and earned revenue. The course by itself is returning nearly every dollar in General Fund investment via indirect cost payments, sales tax inflows generated, and surface water expenses covered that would otherwise be General Fund expenditures. We also know that it is an indispensable asset to the community. For instance, during the pandemic while many City services were limited or paused, Foster Golf Links flourished - experiencing an increase of 27% in annual rounds between 2019 and 2021. Staff have not explored scenarios that may include selling Foster Golf Links to a private party to operate or sold outright. However, in 2013, the then Finance and Safety Committee was briefed regarding Foster Golf Links Marketing and Operations. This overview included a comparison of operational data for select municipal and private golf courses, a marketing work plan for Foster's identifying strategies to retain, engage and attract customers and consultant reports relating to Auburn and Lynnwood's municipal golf courses. Information was shared regarding the pros and cons of various operational models including 1) self -operation; 2) full-service management contract; 3) concession agreements; 4) lease/concession; 5) hybrid contract. Additionally, as recently as this past May, the Community Services and Public Safety Committee was briefed by staff on the Operational Plan for Foster Golf Links which included financial, performance, operations and maintenance information. Phone: 206-433-1800 • Email: Mayor@TukwilaWA,gov • Website: TukwilaWA.gov 266 City Administrator's Report September 14, 2022 Page 5 August 22, 2022 Councilmember Sharp asked about reports of criminal activity at Codiga Park in the evening, is there any talk about adding lighting there or perhaps a gate that blocks the parking at the park in the evening. Currently we have purchased a camera for this park and allocated capital budget dollars in the next biennium to add a gate with security to lock at night. August 22, 2022 Councilmember Sharp The average cost of one event is $2,500. By asked about the cost of seeking out grants from the Washington the "See You In the Festivals and Events Association ($9,000) and Park" events. Can the Cascade Water Alliance ($1,000), we were able events be combined to to present this year's events to local increase the number of neighborhood residents at their local parks at participants and perhaps save resources? no cost to the city, other than staff time. August 22, 2022 Councilmember Sharp The city has reached out to King County Metro asked about the plans in the past and was not able to get a stop at for a bus stop at the TCC. We used to have a stop on Gateway Drive Tukwila Community and up by the corner market on 130th St. and Center. 40th Ave. But both are now gone. As Laurel noted in her 9/1 email, Councilmember Hougardy is the City's representative on the Regional Transit Committee and may have some helpful background on this matter. We will be reaching out to learn more. Currently we do have a pilot service, Via, that provides on -demand service from most of the city as long as the pick-up OR final destination is one of two locations: TCC and the light rail station. We have promoted this on the City website, as well as on social media channels and through the school district.
