Director's Message
The staff at Tukwila Parks and Recreation (TPR) are a group of exceptional individuals, all of
whom contribute their unique skills and talents to the department. Most of our staff have
received specific training in Parks and Recreation management, and several staff engage in a wide
variety of recreational and leisure pursuits outside of their jobs. Individually and collectively,
they walk the walk, and talk the talk of Parks and Recreation they truly make me proud.

The Events Division and many TPR staff members, along with a solid
volunteer base, is what makes events in Tukwila successful! 2011
was a clear example of teamwork with the introduction of three new
mini- events. These events took the place of the traditional one day
Tukwila Days Event. The mini events created more opportunities for
partnerships, offered more opportunities for citizen engagement, and
added to Tukwila's vibrant and healthy quality of life.

park was developed, the land was used by a local
herder to graze his goats; the land was also a t @rP�„
popular place for residents to cut their Christmas

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 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.

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. 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.

outh 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.

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-

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).

W ashington State Department of Health reports that in 2008,
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
community members. We serve as advocates, mentors, and role
models for teens that lead to a strengthened community, and
improved quality of life.

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.

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

CHANGES IN 2011
Processes We have streamlined our rental set -up process to be more efficient.
Rental Use Policies Based on council direction, rental policies for non profit and other City Department use of
TCC were reviewed and updated.
Service Level on Saturday Due to budget and FTE staffing reductions,
we no longer provide rental booking services on Saturday. Booking space
at TCC is limited to Monday— Friday.
Staffing As part of the 2011 budget reductions, 3.OFTE assigned to the
daily front desk operations was reduced to 1.OFTE. This led to a reduction
in operating hours by 1.5 hours per day Monday through Friday, and
minor re- organization of division.
TCC Rental Fees Based on council direction, the Rental Fees were
reviewed and updated. In most cases, the fees increased. As a result, we
had 15% less bookings at TCC. Based on customer response, the primary
reason for groups and events selecting to rent at another facility was
based on the fee.

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.

Total Resident Participation across all Programs is 51 and can be attributed to a
Program I Res
couple of things. 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.

BACKYARD WILDLIFE FESTIVAL
Tukwila Community Center
May 14, 2011
This purpose of this annual event is to help educate and
inspire Tukwila and our surrounding community to wel-
come wildlife like birds, butterflies, and others into our
backyards, garden and communities. In 2011 this event
featured local gardener (and celebrity) Ciscoe Morris as
our keynote speaker, on how to attract and support wild-
life through garden and landscape practices, and creating
and preserving wildlife habitat in our region. More than
200 people attended his presentation.
This fun event is great for gardeners of all skill levels, in-
cluding kids. It's brimming with wildlife friendly activities,
an arts and crafts marketplace, community and educa-
tional exhibitors, a recycled art show, Guided Bird Tour
with the Rainier Audubon Society and the Certified Back-
yard Habitat Garden Tour.
Major partners for this event include:
City of Tukwila
Tukwila Parks Recreation
Seattle Southside Visitor Services
Puget Sound Energy
National Wildlife Federation
REI, Inc.
King Conservation District
Rainier Audubon Society
The City of Tukwila has been the home of the Backyard
Wildlife Festival since the beginning and with good rea-
son! Tukwila became the first city in the State to become
a certified Community Wildlife Habitat and only the fourth
in the country to achieve such an honor.

Tukwila's Family 4 at Fort Dent Park
An Independence Day Celebration
July 4, 2011
Tukwila's Family 4 at Fort Dent Park is where our
community goes to celebrate Independence Day!
We were pleased to provide free and safe event full
of fun for the entire family. 2011 activities began at
6 and included a large kid's area with activi-
ties such as inflatable bounce houses, slides, a mo-
bile game area and a special area just for pre-
schoolers, Tukwila Tot Spot, full of age appropriate
activities and arts crafts projects. The event also
had an entertainment stage featuring two perform-
ers.
Community members showed up early, some be-
fore we arrived for set -up at 9am, and stayed late
into the night. Food vendors were limited to con-
venience food items. Additionally, there were four
community groups and three commercial vendors
with booths.
The event concluded around 11 with a 25 mi-
nute fireworks show.
