MOVE TO authorize submittal of three (3) grant applications to the
Washington State Recreation & Conservation Office for grant programs
that require city matching funds
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Tukwila Parks & Recreation Department has completed applications for three grants offered by the
Washington State Recreation & Conservation Office (RCO). All three grants require matching funds to
apply, and city policy requires council authorization to apply for any grants which require city matching
funds. Department staff request the Community Services and Safety Committee forward this item to the
May 4th Regular Meeting Consent Agenda for full council approval.
DISCUSSION
The Parks & Recreation Department is prepared to submit applications for three projects:
1. Tukwila Community Center Turf Field Conversion
Youth Athletic Facilities Grant
This Youth Athletic Facilities (YAF) grant (Application 26-1392) is being submitted for renovation of
the current natural grass field at Tukwila Community Center. This project would include
replacement of the current field with a new multi -use synthetic turf field as well as the installation of
athletic lighting fixtures, new bleacher installations, and installation of improved safety netting on
site. These new and improved recreational amenities will provide improved usage opportunities of
the field for youth and adult athletics and recreation year-round. The project's total estimated cost is
currently $3,263,500 with the YAF grant providing $1,468,200 in grant funds, and the City of
Tukwila providing approximately $1,795,300 in matching funds. Please refer to Attachment B for a
design concept of the project as proposed.
2. Joseph Foster Memorial Park Turf Field Conversion
Youth Athletic Facilities Grant
This Youth Athletic Facilities (YAF) grant (Application 26-1393) is being submitted for renovation of
the current lower natural grass field at Joseph Foster Memorial Park. This project, like the one at
Tukwila Community Center, would include replacement of the current field with a new multi -use
synthetic turf field as well as the installation of athletic lighting fixtures, new bleacher installations,
and installation of improved safety netting on site, improving availability of athletic and recreational
facilities for Tukwila and South King County community members year-round. The project's total
estimated cost is currently $3,285,500 with the YAF grant providing $1,500,000 in grant funds, and
226
the City of Tukwila providing approximately $1,785,500 in matching funds. Please refer to
Attachment C for a design concept of the project as proposed.
3. Crestview Park Acquisition
Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program — Local Parks Grant
The Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program — Local Parks (WWRP-LP) grant (Application 26-
1648) is being submitted to support acquisition of Crestview Park. Crestview Park is owned by the
Highline School District and has been leased for use as a park by the City of Tukwila for several
decades. Several years ago, Highline School District expressed interest in selling the property, and,
per the terms of the lease with the City, provided the City of Tukwila with the first right of refusal to
acquire the property. Currently, the City and Highline School District have entered into a joint
appraisal and reimbursement agreement (Contract 26-066) to determine fair market value of the
approximately 10.86-acre Crestview Park, recorded as King County Parcel #5379800008. With
appraisal still in progress, department staff have provided an estimate of total acquisition costs,
which currently equal approximately $4,065,000. Of this cost, approximately $4,000,000 is
attributable to the purchase price for the land, with the remaining $65,000 attributable to closing
costs, title insurance, and necessary surveys of the property upon acquisition. This project would be
supported by $1,000,000 in grant funds from the WWRP-LP, and $3,065,000 in matching funds
provided by the City of Tukwila. Please refer to Attachment D for a King County Parcel Map of
Crestview Park.
In sum, the City of Tukwila is currently estimating required matching funds for these grants total
$6,645,800. These funds would be provided in accordance with the table shown below. Please note
that all project costs and matching funds needed for projects are estimates, therefore, amounts and/or
fund sources are subject to change.

Department staff can confirm that Park Impact Fee amounts stated are on hand within the Land
Acquisition, Recreation, and Park Development Fund (Fund 301) at this time. Department staff will
continue to seek other fund sources that could assist in project execution as we await final results of
these RCO grant applications.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of grant applications requiring match does not inherently create any net inflow or outflow for
any City funds. If grant applications are successful, department staff will bring resultant grant
agreements to City Council for future approvals as required in accordance with city policy.
