BACKGROUND Washington cities subject to the requirements of the Growth Management Act are periodically required to undertake an overall review and update of their Comprehensive Plans, separate from the annual amendment process. Our approach to the review due in 2014 has been to focus on a "vertical slice" of our goals, policies, regulations and implementation measures for specific issue areas. This differs from the original Tukwila Tomorrow process where we formed a general committee to make recommendations on a broad range of issues. Staff has used this approach to conduct targeted public outreach and develop a set of recommendations for updating the Shoreline and Manufacturing and Industrial Center (MIC) chapters of the Comprehensive Plan as well as their associated Zoning Code regulations. This ensures that our regulations are aligned with our Comprehensive Plan vision. We also hope that it will result in meaningful input by involving our citizens and businesses in a streamlined process for those issues of specific concern to them. The 2012 -13 DCD work program includes the updating of the Natural Environment chapter of the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan as well as other policies in the in the Community Image and Residential Chapters that address natural resource issues. As part of that effort, the role of trees in the City, tree protection, tree health, tree canopy cover and whether to establish tree canopy goals for the City will be considered. To assist with the policy development, the City has received a $10,000 grant from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources to conduct a baseline tree canopy survey to determine the amount of tree coverage currently in the City. The updated goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan will then guide revisions to the City's implementing regulations the tree ordinance, landscaping code, and street tree policies and will provide input for tree /urban forest management in the City's parks and other public land in Tukwila. CL Page 1 of 2 04/13/2012 2:10:16 PM W:\ \Long Range Projects \Urban Forestry\4 -23 -12 CAP Memo -final INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 DISCUSSION Staff believes it is important to involve a wide range of stakeholders in the Comprehensive Plan update and in incorporating new goals and policies related to community forests into the Plan. In addition, recent state legislation promotes community forest programs, which the addition of goals and policies to the Comprehensive Plan will support. Staff suggests that the committee be made up of members from the following groups: 1 -2 residential property owners; 1 -2 business owners (urban center and MIC or other); 1 representative of environmental groups /gardening groups (such as the Backyard Wildlife organization); 1 arborist or landscape professional; 1 Planning Commission representative; 1 City Council representative; and 1 Parks Board representative. Including members of these groups will help ensure that a wide range of viewpoints are considered. The Committee members would be provided with background information on the current Comprehensive Plan goals and policies and existing regulations, as well as materials about community forest management and the value of trees in urban settings and will be asked to provide guidance to staff on the direction City policy should take on key natural resource issues, such as tree canopy, tree protection, landscaping in commercial and industrial areas, street tree management and planning, and maintenance of forests and trees in parks and other public areas. It is anticipated that the Advisory Committee would meet once a month for 6 -8 months. Once the work of the Advisory Committee is complete, their recommendations, will be incorporated into a ee�underline version of the relevant chapters of the Comprehensive Plan, as well as a strike -out underline of the proposed revisions to the Tree Ordinance and other natural environment related regulations. These will go first to the City's Planning Commission and then to the City Council for action in early 2013. Policy recommendations also will serve as input for later revisions to the City's landscape code and street tree policies, and for planning for urban forests on public land and for tree management in general. RECOMMENDATION Forward the Resolution authorizing the recruitment and appointment of an advisory committee to assist in the Comprehensive Plan and implementing regulations update to the May 14, 2012 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent May 21, 2012 Regular meeting.

Kerslake, City Attorney W: \Word Processing- City \Resolutions \Tukwila Tree and Environment Advisory Cmte 4 -12 -12 CL:bjs Page 3 of 3 5 x City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Haggerton Community Affairs and Parks Committee FROM: Jack Pace, DCD Director BY: Brandon J. Miles, Senior Planner DATE: April 11, 2012 SUBJECT: Amendments to Title 19, "Sign Code" ISSUE Should amendments be made to Title 19 of the Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC), commonly referred to as the "Sign Code BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION On March 26, 2012, staff presented a memo to Community Affairs and Parks (CAP) dated March 19, 2012 that outlined nine proposed amendments to the City's Sign Code. A copy of that memo, the meeting minutes, a proposed Ordinance in strikeout/underlined format and a proposed draft fee resolution are attached. Generally, CAP was supportive of the proposed amendments, but required some clarification and additional discussion. NOTE; In this memo, staff has also added an item regarding non conforming signs. The issue of non conforming signs was not discussed at the March 26 meeting, but staff would like to propose a change to certain non conforming regulations. See below for more information. Commercial Sianaae on Fuel Canopies CAP was supportive of this proposed code change, but requested that DCD staff add a definition for fuel canopy. At the CAP meeting there was some concern that without a clear definition canopies throughout the City would be eligible for signage. DCD staff proposes the following definition: Fuel Canopy is a structure designed to provide weather protection to motorists in order for them to fill vehicles with: gasoline, diesel, compressed natural gas, propane, electricity or other similar compounds which allow for the powering of vehicles. The following components must be in place beneath the structure in order for this definition to apply to a structure, 1) There must be at least two fuel dispensing devices; and 2) Customers must have the ability to pay electronically beneath the structure. The above definition would allow all traditional gas stations to install signage on fuel canopies- as well as alternative fuel stations, such as the new Blue Star Gas Propane business. Staff proposes that a fuel canopy be permitted to have one illuminated or non illuminated sign for each elevation, with the sign being permitted to be no more than five square feet. 7 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 2. Streamline Permit Process for Conformina Freestandina Signs CAP was supportive of this proposal. New language was added to TMC 19.12.030 "Exceptions Sign Permits Not Required," which states that permits are not required for copy changes and refaces if the work complies with the requirements of TMC 19.20 (Permanent Signs) or 19.32 (Master Sign Program). The language in TMC 19.20 and 19.32 is identical and states the following: A monument sign permitted under this section is permitted to complete refaces, panel changes and copy changes without the need to obtain a new permit, provided ALL of the following criteria are met. a. The monument sign was authorized by the City under a permit issued on or after August 24, 2010. b. The property owner, or authorized agent of the property owner, was the applicant to secure the permit as required under this section. c. As part of the reface and copy change, there can be no structural changes to the sign which result in a change of sign or message areas; modification in sign height, inclusion of a dynamic sign component, or change in the monument sign's location. d. That within 30 -days of completion of the copy change or reface, the property owner or authorized agent shall transmit to the City a Notice of Copy Change form with a photo of the revised sign face. 3. Electronic Plan Submittal CAP was supportive of this proposal. The draft resolution reduces permit fees by $50 for applications for permanent signs that are submitted electronically. 4. Annexation Areas Staff proposed providing existing signs within annexation areas a ten year grace period that would commence upon the effective date of the annexation. CAP was supportive of this proposal. A new chapter to Title 19 is being proposed; see Section 19.37 of the draft Ordinance. The Chapter will be TMC 19.37 and will be called "Non- Conforming Signs in Annexation Areas." The language of this Chapter is nearly identical to the language found in TMC 19.36 (Non- Conforming Provisions), except that language is inserted to refer to the effective date of annexation and not the effective date of the original sign Ordinance. 5. Add Airport Wav as a Billboard Receivina Area Staff brought up a concern with the fact that Airport Way was not included in the definition of "billboard receiving area," provided in TMC 19.08.067. Staff proposed to add Airport Way to the areas of the City eligible for new billboards, and CAP was supportive of the proposal. Staff proposes the following changes to TMC 19.08.067: "Billboard Receiving Areas" are those areas of the City along South 180th Street zoned as Commercial /Light Industrial; those properties south of South 180th Street along West Valley Highway zoned as Commercial /Light Industrial; all properties located along Boeing Access Road; those properties along East Marginal Way, north of Boeing Access Road; and all properties located alonq Airport Wav, north of Boeinq Access road,, for which ZADCD n Clerk's \Brandon \Sign Code Update \CAP, 2012.04- 23 \InfoMemo.doc INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 permits for new billboards may be issued if the criteria of this Title are satisfied. Attachment D and E are maps that show the billboard receiving areas listed with this definition. Attachments D and E are for illustrative ourooses onlv. 6. Pole Banners fee and Expansion of Allowable Zones DCD staff discussed two specific items regarding pole banner; the first was the fee; and the second was the issue of expanding the allowable zones where pole banners could be used. a. Fee. Staff had initially suggested that the fee for pole banners be $25 for the initial fee and $15 for renewals. CAP expressed interest in ensuring that the pole banner fee was reflective of other land use and sign permit fees, specifically the temporary sign permit fee which currently is $97. The attached resolution reflects the pole banner fee being $97 for the initial application and $50 for renewals. b. Additional Zones. DCD staff had proposed allowing pole banners in the Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) zone. One of the reasons to allow pole banners in the NCC zones was so that Tukwila Village would be able to install such signs. CAP did seem not to have any objections to the proposed change, but there did seem to be some hesitation in how the pole banners could be used. As staff noted, the City cannot regulate content of signs, including pole banners. Staff is now proposing that pole banners not be allowed in the NCC zone. Much of the NCC zone is located on Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB), and staff is concerned that properties in the area may not install high quality pole signs -which would hinder the City's ongoing efforts to revitalize the area. During the CAP meeting, the Parks Department discussed a possible desire to install pole banners at Foster Golf Course; currently, the Sign Code prohibits such signage. DCD staff would like to propose that areas of the City that are subject to the Public Recreation Overlay be permitted to install pole banners. This change would allow pole banners to be installed at all Tukwila Schools, most City parks, the Community Center and Fort Dent Park. 7. LEED Certification CAP was supportive of a small sign area bonus for LEED certified buildings. The proposed Ordinance reflects the recommendation in the March 19, 2012 memo. 8. Add Notes to Billboard Receivina Maps CAP was supportive of staff's proposal to add a note on two maps in the Code that state that the maps are for "Illustrative Purposes Only." Staff also added some language in the definition of "billboard receiving area" to further clarify that the definition will govern in the event of a conflict between the definition and the maps, see item 5 above. 9. Correct scribner's error in TMC 19.20.050 (4) CAP had no concerns with fixing the scribner's error identified above. Update on the Removal of Non Conforminq Siqns Staff would also request policy direction from CAP on an issue related to the removal of non- conforming signs within the City. This issue was not discussed previously. ZADCD n Clerk's \Brandon \Sign Code Update \CAP, 2012.04- 21infoMemo.doc g INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 4 As CAP is aware, the City strived to lessen the impact of the new code on businesses within the City. Due to the fact that the City moved to monument only signage, many freestanding signs in the City became non conforming upon the effective date of the new sign code. The rights associated with each individual sign vary based on the degree to which the sign is non- conforming. TMC 19.36.040 establishes three non conforming categories: a. Signs which were non conformina under the OLD sian code. These signs may remain indefinitely, but a reface or copy change is not permitted without bringing the sign into conformance with the City's sign code. In most cases "bringing the sign into conformance" requires removal of the sign. b. Sians which became non conformina with adoption of the new sign code and obtained non conformina sign permits. These signs are provided a ten -year grace period. During the grace period the signs may have refaces and copy changes, with a permit. After the grace period the sign may remain indefinitely, but a reface or copy change is not permitted without bringing the sign into conformance. c. Non Conformina Freewav Interchanae Sians. All freeway interchange signs became non conforming under the new sign code. Freeway interchange signs are provided a five year grace period in which copy changes and refaces are permitted, with a permit. After the grace period the sign may remain indefinitely, but a reface or copy change is not permitted without bringing the sign into conformance. TMC 19.36.040 requires that property and /or sign owners obtain a no -fee, non conforming sign permit for any sign on their premise which does not meet the sign code. Property owners and /or sign owners must have obtained the non conforming permit within 180 -days of being notified by the City that their signs are non conforming. Non conforming rights are lost if the property owner and /or sign owner failed to submit the non conforming permit within the 180 -day period (TMC 19.36.040). The City has sent out a total of 174 notices to property owners and /or sign owners informing them that their signs are non conforming. A total 123 response' to the City's notification were received back. A total of 44 never responded to the City's notification that their signs were non- conforming and thus under TMC 19.36.040 the signs should be removed. Staff would like policy direction from the City Council on the following question: Should the Citv beain to enforce the provisions of TMC 19.36, reauirina that 44 sians be removed within the City? An advantage of this approach would be that a significant number of non conforming signs would be removed and thus improve the City's streetscape and the overall urban environment. A disadvantage of this approach would be the impact the removal would have on businesses and property owners who, once receiving the Notice and Order, may approach the City Council to amend the code requirements. Staff would like to propose an alternative: Any sign that did not obtain the non conforming sign permit, as required, would be permitted to remain indefinitely; however any proposed copy change or reface would require that the sign be brought up to the provisions of the City's sign code. This approach would still result in the removal of non conforming signs, but over a longer time frame. 1 89 submitted the non conforming permit; 25 were received by the City and are pending; two went through the Master Sign Program; and seven used the opt -out language. 0 ZADCD n Clerk's \Brandon \Sign Code Update \CAP, 2012.04- 23 \InfoMemo.doc INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 5 FINANCIAL IMPACT Permit fees will be reduced by not requiring permits for certain refaces and copy changes. However, permit fees are meant to compensate the City for time reviewing the permit and are not meant to generate revenue. By waiving certain permits, it will free up staff to work on other current and long range projects. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the attached Ordinance and Resolution be forward to the May 14 Committee of the Whole meeting for a public hearing and discussion by the full Council. Action on the Ordinance and Resolution is anticipated at the May 21 Regular Council Meeting.

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) 33 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 A yt 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. 34 ZADCD n ClerWsOrandonffverton DAKAR 2012.03.2612012 Memo for merge.doc Fuel Canopy Sign on TIB INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 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.

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 DAKAR 2012.03.2612012 Memo for merge.doc 37 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. 3 ZADCD n ClerWslBrandonkfterton DAICAP, 2012.03.2612012 Memo for merge.doc INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 7 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.

PRESENTATIONS No presentations. II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. Sign Code Revisions Staff is seeking Committee direction regarding several suggested policy changes to the current Sign Code which was adopted by the Council in August 2010. The Sign Code has been in existence for over a year and staff has had the opportunity to identify areas of the Code which need clarification, simplification or basic housekeeping such as typographical errors. The suggested amendments are outlined below followed by Committee direction in bold, if appropriate. Allow for signage on fuel canopies. This was inadvertently left out of the current code. The Committee commented that they would like staff to define fuel canopy. In regards to freestanding signs that comply with the City's Sign Code, if there is going to be a reface or copy change to an existing sign currently in compliance, a second permit will not need to be secured. Reduce sign permit fee by $50 for applications submitted electronically. Permit cost is currently $222. Provide annexation areas with the same 10 -year grace period afforded in the current Sign Code when and if the areas are annexed. The grace period would commence on the effective date of the annexation. Expand the north billboard receiving areas to include Airport Way. Add Airport Way as a third billboard receiving area in the City. Reduce the sign permit fee for pole banners on private property from $222 to an initial application fee of $25 and a $15 renewal. Additionally, allow pole banners in the Neighborhood Commercial Center. Committee Members are interested in the pole banner fee reflecting an amount more in line with other fees (such as the temporary sign permit fee). Recognizing that many LEED and /or Green Built buildings require educational language on the property to explain the site /building significance, such buildings will be permitted a 1% increase for free standing signs and a 0.5% increase for permitted wall signs. Staff will make the appropriate changes and return to Committee on April 9 for review and recommendation to full Council. Committee Member Ekberg expressed interest in allowing digital and animated displays in the City to modernize and increase the effectiveness of information sharing.

BACKGROUND The Parks and Recreation Department has been developing an annual report similar to the attached document since 2009. The report includes interesting statistics, program and event reviews, division accomplishments and a citizen spotlight. In addition to the annual report, the Recreation and Events Divisions each produced a 2011 recap. Those recaps offered a thorough analysis of 2011, some of that information is in the 2011 Department report and those documents are attached for reference.

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 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 'Leave all theaftetnoon fotexetcseand goals. As a result of higher fees, fewer people are able to af- recreation, wh chateasnecessatyasteadiny. ford the program or service, and subsequently, our programs wi rathetsayrrrote necessaryhecausehea th s served fewer people. Due to lower participation levels in 2011, there was less revenue and fewer expenditures, which woHh mote than le4twng. resulted in the Recreation Division giving $110,000 in unspent Thomas Jefferson 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. 4v Rentals c�. Figure 1: Cost Recovery Model 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.

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. 2011 YOUTH PROGRAMS Before and Afterschool Program Camp Tukwilly (Summer Day Camp) Dr. Seuss Night No School Day Camps Playground Program Special Events Summer Sack Lunch Winter Break Camp Fright Night Parents Night Out Pre- School Spring Break Camp Summer Sports Camps Youth Teen Basketball League CHANGES IN 2011 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.

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.

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.

Men's Softball Tukwila has had a team in the Puget Sound league since 1981, and has had as many as 4 teams in this league. Although many players have since moved away from Tukwila, they still wanted to represent Tukwila. They compete all over the U.S. in tournament play, all with Tukwila proudly on their uniform. However, due to lack of resident participation and budget reductions, the activity is no longer funded through the general fund.

First, the perception for many people is that Tukwila is considered a Youth I 90% regional Park and Recreation system. The factors that contribute to this include the close proximity of Tukwila to surrounding neighborhoods and cities, the influx of Teen I 72% employees into Tukwila during the daytime based on the business opportunities, and Senior I 44% the fact that Tukwila is located at the confluence of two of the largest freeways in the General I 59% State. Secondly, we have intentionally partnered with other Cities to offer programs, Rentals 45% such as Special Populations Program and Senior Volleyball. Additionally, our Senior TOTALI 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.
