H. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Resolution Declaring Fort Dent Plavaround Eauipment Surrolus
Staff is requesting full Council approval, via resolution, to surplus playground equipment (1996) from
Fort Dent Park. New equipment was recently installed in another location of the Park as a replacement
for the aforementioned surplus equipment. The surplus equipment was utilized to its life expectancy.
Declaring the equipment surplus allows the City to remove it from the capital equipment list.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 9 COW.
B. Bid Award for Purchase of Codiaa Park Picnic Shelter and Other Amenities,
Staff is seeking full Council approval authorizing the Mayor to sign a purchase order in the amount
of $43,990.35 to Northwest Playground Equipment, Inc. The purchase order is for items for three
City parks:
Codiga Park Picnic shelter, four picnic tables, three benches and three trash cans.
TCC Spray Park Three benches and one trash can.
Macadam Winter Garden One trash can.
The vendor for these items was secured from the State Bid list. The picnic shelter is a long lead
item, and is expected to be ready for delivery this Fall. Staff will include a rendering of the shelter in
the information that is submitted to full Council. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
JUNE 9 COW.
C. Park, Recreation and Onen Space Plan (Review Continued from CAP 5112108)
Staff continued review of the Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan from the May 12, 2008,
Community Affairs and Parks Committee meeting.
The draft plan is now available on the City's website for public review. Three additions were
distributed including a cover page and pages 16 and 18 which incorporate updated tables.
Committee members asked clarifying questions of staff and identified general typographical errors.
The Committee asked staff to address the potential impact of the streamlined sales tax
implementation (applicable July 1, 2008) in Appendix E: Finances.
Communitv Affairs & Parks Committee Minutes
Mav 27. 2008 - Paae 2
Staff recommended the Committee consider adopting the plan without the inclusion of Appendix H:
Growth Management Act (GMA) Impact Fees. Instead, impact fees would be brought back to
Council later in the year, simultaneous with other potential impact fees in the City (i.e.: fire).
Committee members determined that it is in the City's best interest to leave Appendix H (impact
fees) in the draft plan. In the plan, the impact fees are just one of the suggested implementation
options. Adoption of the plan does not mean adoption of the impact fees; the Council would need to
hold a public hearing and adopt an appropriate ordinance to implement such fees. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MAY 27 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
