MOVE TO adopt the proposed ordinances amending Tukwila Municipal
Code Chapter 12.08 (Park Rules and Regulations) and repealing
Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 12.12 (Foster Golf Link Fees)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Parks and Recreation Department is proposing amendments Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC)
Chapters 12.08 and 12.12, by nature of already being recorded in statute, require ordinance adopted by
City Council for any amendments or repeal. Department staff are requesting:
1. Adoption of the proposed ordinance amending TMC Chapter 12.08 (Park Rules)
2. Adoption of the proposed ordinance repealing TMC Chapter 12.12 (Foster Golf Link Fees)
DISCUSSION
TMC Chapter 12.08 (Parks Rules) Ordinance
Chapter 12.08 of the TMC covers Parks Rules and Regulations regarding a wide range of topics such
as park hours, restrictions on usage of fireworks, charcoal grills, or motor vehicles in parks, commercial
activities in parks, and more. This chapter of the TMC was last updated over a decade ago in 2015 via
Ordinance 2476. Department staff, to better provide parks and recreation services to community
members, determined that TMC Chapter 12.08 needed a full rewrite via the proposed ordinance. This
rewrite aims to encapsulate the entirety of parks and recreation operations, rules of use, penalties for
violations, and more in a single TMC chapter. Thus, staff is requesting passage of an ordinance that
repeals TMC Chapter 12.08 as it currently exists and then subsequently re-enacts it with the updated
language as proposed.
TMC Chapter 12.12 (Foster Golf Links Fees) Ordinance
This chapter of the TMC focuses entirely on the setting of greens fees for playing at Foster Golf Links,
the public golf course operated by the City of Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department. The proposed
amendment to TMC Chapter 12.08 (Parks Rules), contains a section titled "Setting of Fees and
Charges" that simplifies the fee setting authority to be held by the Parks and Recreation Department
Director. Therefore, passage of the proposed amendment to TMC Chapter 12.08 will make TMC
Chapter 12.12 redundant, necessitating the proposed repeal of the chapter.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Adoption of the proposed ordinances does not create any net general fund inflows and/or outflows.

Summary of Public Comments
Written public comment period March 12-30: (2) Respondents - (1) Facebook. (1)
Microsoft Form
Chapter 12.08 Park Rules and Regulations:
• Microsoft Form (Respondent 1): "Yes, I think updating rules every
so often is smart"
• Facebook Post (Respondent 2): "This is bad. Chapter 12.08 Park
Rules and Regulations is just the city adding more unnecessary
rules and regulations and giving them the ability to enforce
things. Like you cant do a protest in a park without a permit or
even fly a drone. This is a step toward controlling the people more
when you already have control. Let people fly drones at parks. Oh
and you cant even use a sling shot, didn't know that. Oh and they
can post all this in conspicuous spots, instead of bout in the open
space."
Chapter 12.12 Foster Golf Links:
• Microsoft Form (Respondent 1): No feedback
other than it's important to keep golf
affordable, especially for people who have
lower incomes and are most impacted by the
inflation of necessities. Will that be the
outcome of this rule change?
