The Commission thanked Mrs. Armstrong for considering the City's parks and recreation needs and explained to her that they would refer her letter to the Parks and Recreation Council Committee and City Council for further consideration. Attached is a letter from Mrs. Armstrong and a site map showing the property location. Off - Leash Dog Area On April 3, the Parks Commission reviewed the off -leash dog area topic concerning their current work plan and potential work supporting development of Celebration Park and decided to wait until late summer to reevaluate the off -leash dog area. During the next few months, they will continue to talk with the volunteer group as it gathers information and prepares their report and recommendation. In late summer, the Commission will reevaluate their work plan and recommend changes to the Parks and Recreation Council Committee to accomplish the Committee's priorities. Parkland Divesture The Commission approved a motion at their March meeting regarding divesture of park property. The Commission believes there is a benefit in having a public process regarding the sale of park land. Since that meeting, Park staff have reviewed Resolution No 93 -156 that addresses the disposal of surplus property. Staff will make a brief report on the City's current resolution as it applies to City - owned park property. Wildflower Project Barbara Reid, Parks and Recreation Commission member, and a small committee have been working on a wildflower project as part of the Commission's work plan. Attached is the information on the project. . . - " • 3D PECFWED APR 4 1997 Dear John . I am writing in regards to some property I wAkrt4rf..*.ki6TIPN$ Way.

GOALS: 1. To give all citizens of Federal Way an opportunity to build a more beautiful city through their volunteer efforts. 2. To give Federal Way children ownership and pride in the community in which they live. 3. To educate Federal Way families to the environmental value of wildflowers and the ability to identify each. RESULT: We expect to sow more than 3 million seeds of a mix of wildflowers appropriate for our Northwest region. They will continue to bloom year after year as perennials, self sowing each fall as their seeds mature and drop. Eventually Federal Way could become known for its fields and trails richly colored with California poppies, columbine, daisies, bird's eyes, mountain phlox, blue flax, corn poppies. black eyed susans and yellow lupine. PLANTING TECHNIQUE: Seed can be sown by simply casting it on the ground, which is iffy for germination. A better technique is to scrape the soil or pierce it with a sharp tool - a pointed stick will do, insert the seed and cover it lightly with soil. More solid growth can be accomplished by tilling the soil as in a garden, sowing the seed and lightly covering with soil, followed by thorough watering. Since we will be sowing in the wild, the sharp stick, or hand utensils commonly used for small gardens is our best option. We will have to count on Mother Nature for rain, which we usually have in great abundance. Parks Maintenance crews have offered to rototill a small area as a demonstration project, which will be located at the East entrance to the BPA Trail. BUDGET: The Parks and Recreation Commission of the City of Federal Way has set aside "seed money" of $500 to cover the cost of seeds and packaging. The rest is up to our volunteer efforts, and in- kind donations for flyers. WE NEED: We are looking for volunteer teams representing service organizations, special interest groups, PTA's and school children, middle school and high school students looking for community service opportunities, family groups, senior citizens and special horticultural expertise. This a project that can involve everyone. We are also looking for face painters, musicians, clowns and balloon artists - everyone who can add to the festivities and fun of the day.

This project is part of a larger effort by the Bonneville Power Administration to control vegetation along the entire length of the corridor, which is roughly 260 feet wide and runs from Tacoma to Covington. The Bonneville Power Administration is concerned that storms may cause trees to damage its transmission lines, interrupt power, and create a public safety hazard. The project involves the cutting or removal of trees and brush within the Bonneville Power Administration's right -of -way that may present a hazard to the transmission lines. All trees and brush that can grow to taller than 15 feet, including small saplings of douglas fir, cottonwood, maple, and alder, will be removed as part of the project. The two most identifiable areas where maintenance will occur are adjacent to the Evergreen Village Apartments on 1 lth Place South, and along the north side of the BPA corridor west of 1st Way South. In each of these two locations, approximately 10 -15 evergreen trees will be removed due to height and proximity to power lines. The project is expected to last for three to four weeks, with work beginning in the southwest portion of the city and moving northeast as the project continues. Although this maintenance does not require any city permit, the Bonneville Power Administration did consult the City of Federal Way during the planning stages of the project. In addition, the Bonneville Power Administration has met with some individual property owners to discuss concerns and has entered into some agreements to replace removed trees with smaller plantings. Any questions about the project should be directed to the Bonneville Power Administration's Covington Office at (206) 631 -9154.
