Motion passed. BUSINESS ITEMS 2006 Justice Assistance Grant Application Ms. Parker stated that the Public Safety Department applied for a grant for $29,114 from the 2006 Byrne Justice Assistant Allocations. I f they are awarded the grant they will outfit 46 front line patrol fleet vehicles with the docking stations for laptop computers. This will give the officers more mobility, they will have instant access to data, and it is ergonomically better for the police officers. This will allow them to take the computer out of the car, and take a report inside the victim's house or business. Council member Kochnulr moved to approve and accept the 2006 Justice Assistance Grant Application for $29,114 to finance improved technology (laptop computer docking stations) for the police department, and forward to full Council for consideration at its April 18, 2006 meeting. Council member Burbidge seconded. Motion passed. Community Center Update Ms. Sanders presented the Community Center Construction report for March 2006. The gymnasium is the area with most progress to date. The piping is complete under the pool. Ms. Sanders is working with the contractor to schedule a date for the Parks Commission and Council to tour the site. We are starting to receive larger monthly invoices, and are starting to catch up on the billings. The contingency balance is 6.4% on hard costs, and 4.8% on soft costs. They have now started work on the mezzanine, and the track is in place. Council member Kochmar asked if staff was going to be giving a power point presentation at the Council meeting. Ms. Hanson answered that the direction staff was given was to make monthly presentations at the Council Committee. Accept IACILWCF Grant for West Hvlebos Boardwalk Ms. Sanders stated that last year staff applied for a grant to replace the boardwalk. She has received notice that the project has been selected for funding. The amount of the grant is $250,000. The grant will go towards the replacement of the Boardwalk at the West Hylebos Wetlands Park. The total amount needed for the project is 1.3 million dollars. Council member Kochmar moved to authorize an L WCF Project Agreement with the lAC for funding assistance from the Land and Water Conservation Fund in the amount of $250,000 for design and construction of the West Hylebos Wetlands Boardwalk, and place this item before the full Council on April 18,2006. Council member Burbidge seconded. Motion passed. Ms. Hanson stated that staff would be applying again this year for another grant for this project. PARKS, RECREATION, & PUBLIC SAFETY COUNCIL COMMITTEE Monday April 10, 2006 Summary Page 2 Park Plan Update Ms. Hanson reported that the City is required to update the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan every six years. The department has been working very hard to make the deadline. A rigorous public input process was done. There were two open houses, an on-line survey and three stakeholder meetings. They are now starting to work with the Parks Commission. The Park Plan will come back to the PRPS Committee on May 8. This is the foundation of the document that will be presented to the Committee. A draft will be given to Council. A one-month extension has been requested. Ms. Sanders reviewed the input that was received through the public process. Through the various forms of public input, five core values were identified. These Core Values were based on themes or messages that were submitted over and over again. Ms. Sanders reviewed the core values with the PRPS Committee. The Core Values are: 1. Improve Existing Facilities & Provide Multiple Functions in Parks. 2. Develop a walking community with an integrated City-wide system of sidewalks and trails. 3. Retain and improve natural open spaces. 4. Create community gathering places and destinations. 5. Provide a balance of services for a diverse population. Ms. Hanson stated that there is a major shift from where we were six years ago. Improving existing facilities has become a priority over purchasing new facilities. Trails and places for community gathering are two other increasing trends. Ms. Sanders stated that there is also an increasing demand for off leash dog parks. French Lake Park has been very popular. Ms. Sanders stated that they are currently looking at other locations for an off leash dog park. Council member Kochmar stated that French Lake Park is now a safer park because it's so busy. PENDING ITEMS Council member Burbidge stated there has been a request to discuss 'the pandemic flu. Ms. Hanson stated that Cary Roe said he does not have information or jurisdiction. This is a health department issue. Council member Burbidge requested that staff check with the Fire Department, since they had an article about it in their newsletter.

This is done every six years, in compliance with the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). The purpose of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan is to express the community's values and vision in these areas and to periodically assess implementation progress, identify needs for the future, and develop plans and funding strategies for future programs and improvements. The City last updated the Parks. Recreation andOpen Space Comprehensive Plan 2000 in September 2000. Adoption of the updated plan is scheduled for June of this year, to be eligible for grant funding from the Washington Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation (lAC). Planning Process The planning process has included an extensive assessment of the City's existing parks and open spaces, and its recreation programs. It has also included efforts to determine the needs and desires of the community using a series of different approaches. These have included public opinion surveys, open house meetings, meetings with a stakeholders group, and briefings and working sessions with the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Parks, Recreation and Public Safety Council Committee. Accomplishments Since 2000 Plan Substantial achievements have been made since the last plan was prepared. This includes acquisition of more than 200 acres of land, including West Hylebos Wetlands State Park, the site for Madrona Park (the former Armstrong property), and several parcels in the Hylebos Basin. Purchase of Camp Kilworth, an existing Boy Scout Camp with Puget Sound waterfront, is in process. Facility improvements include development of Madrona Park, BP A trail extensions, new playground equipment and improvements in several parks, phase one of site restoration at Dumas Bay Centre, and installation of an artificial turf soccer field at Steel Lake Park. The largest project undertaken during this period is the planning and design of the new Federal Way Community Center. Construction on this project is expected to be completed in late 2006. Community Direction A set of "Core Values" emerged from a consensus of ideas and opinions expressed through the public outreach efforts. These core values have been used to guide the concepts and proposals developed throughout the planning process. These are outlined briefly below: Core Value #1: Improve Existing Facilities and Provide Multiple Functions in Parks Public input indicated that there is strong community desire to focus on improving the resources the City currently owns, rather than acquiring additional property. With future improvements the City is encouraged to provide a variety of uses and facilities at each park site to appeal to a wider range of user groups, and to serve different ages within a family. Core Value #2: Develop a Walking and Biking Community through an Integrated Trail and Sidewalk Network According to survey results, walking, hiking, and walking dogs are some of the activities people participate in most frequently. Having an improved system of loop trails, or an interconnected network of sidewalks and trails that connect to parks, schools and other destinations, will provide additional recreation and nonmotorized transportation options for Federal Way residents. ~-L - - --- ---~ Core Value #3: Retain and Improve Our Open Spaces The City of Federal Way owns more than 500 acres ofland categorized as open space. These open spaces provide a valuable amenity and resource in the community. A balance between protecting and improving the ecological health of these areas and providing opportunities for the community to enjoy and use them is essential. A particular challenge facing the City and the region is the rapid spread of invasive plant species, such as ivy, blackberry and Scot's broom. Core Value #4: Create Community Gathering Places and Destinations One of the consistent messages heard from the public is that the City lacks places to gather, meet with friends and neighbors, and socialize. Creating community gathering places is espccially important as the City Center develops, and as parks are designcd (or redesigned) and developed. Core Value #5: Provide a Balance of Services for a Diverse Population The City should offer a diversity of facilities, services and programs to accommodate a variety of age groups, interests, income levels, and abilities. Public input encouraged special consideration be given to youth, seniors, and persons with special needs. With an increasingly diverse population, the City should continue to be pro-active in assessing recreational trends and needs. Plan Components The Core Values listed above were uscd in developing the heart of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, especially Chaptcrs 4-7: . Plan objectives and public process-Chapter I . Population and Land Characteristics-Chapter 2 . Description of existing parks and open spaces-Chapter 3 . Assessment of recreation programs and recreation trends-Chapter 4 . Needs assessment and level of service standards-Chapter 5 . Goals and Policies-Chapter 6 . An implementation plan-Chapter 7 . Individual park and athlctic facility assessments-Appendices Changes in this Plan This updated plan differs from the 2000 Plan in several ways. The 2006 Plan has: · Less emphasis on acquiring neighborhood park land, and an increased emphasis on improving existing parks . Less emphasis on quantity of park land (and a numeric level of service standard), and more emphasis on quality and type of development . A detailed assessment of each individual park and open space site . A focus on meeting a variety of social and recreational needs, including for community gathering spaces, and for a diverse community Capital Improvement Plan and Maintenance Requirements The Capital Improvemcnt Plan (CIP) has a large project list, ranging from small improvements at neighborhood parks to large scale redevelopment at Lakota and Sacajawea Parks. Funding for improvements within a six-year time frame still needs to be identified. This will be a challenge, especially if utility taxes dedicated to the Parks crp is reduced. Maintenance of the City's parks and open spaces is also becoming increasingly difficult with the current staffing levels, especially since the acreage has increased by 29% since 2000, while staff numbers have actually decreased slightly. A-5 ------ Action Planning and adoption of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan is moving quickly due to the need to be eligible for grant funding this year. This plan was reviewed April 25th with the Parks and Recreation Commission, who made some suggestions for the final implementation chapter. They will make a final review and recommendation on May 4th. The Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a Public Hearing on the Plan on May 3rd. It is desirable for the PRPS Committee to take action at the May 8th meeting in order to stay on schedule for adoption in June. The adoption schedule includes: May 3-Public Hearing by Planning Commission May 4-Final review and recommendation by Parks and Recreation Commission May 8-Council Committee: Parks, Recreation and Public Safety June 6--City Council: 1 st Reading of Ordinance June 20-City Council: 2nd Reading of Ordinance and Adoption June 22-Transmittal to Washington Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation(LAC) (-\ ~ ~\ ,.

Plan Purpose This Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan expresses the community's values and vision for the City's parks, recreation and open space system for the near and long term. It has been six years since the 2000 Comprehensive Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan was adopted. It is important for the City of Federal Way to periodically assess implementation progress, determine how community needs are being met, how well the current system works, identify areas that can be improved or enhanced, and respond to emerging needs as the community grows and changes. This ensures thai the City is being responsive to the current needs of the community and pro-active in planning for the needs of future generations. Since 2000, there have been a number of changes in the community-residential and employment growth, an increasingly diverse population, new recreation facilities such as the Community Center (opening in 2007), land acquisitions, and recreation program additions and changes. Parks and open space become increasingly important as the City builds out, recreation trends evolve, and the community becomes more dense in response to growth management planning. Having an up-to-date plan positions the City to implement the vision through phases and to respond to opportunities as they anse. 2. Plan Objectives The objectives of the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan are: · To provide community defined direction for the future of the City's parks and open spaces as well as recreation programming · To maintain funding eligibility · To ensure consistency with state and local requirements; · To respond to opportunities as they arise · To provide guidance for effective management of the City's parks, recreation, and open spaces Community Defined Direction One of the primary objectives of this plan update was to gather community input and direction to establish priorities for future of the PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL 21, 2006 I 1 ~.\ S ---------- CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION City's parks and open space system. Input given by the community at various points throughout the update process established a refined long-term vision for the City's parks, recreation, and open space resources, and gives near-term direction to how the city will allocate its parks and recreation funding. This ensures that the City's park system is responsive in meeting the needs of the community. Maintain Funding Eligibility The City relies on grant funding for many of its parks facilities and programs. Most funding sources require periodic updates to parks and recreation plans in order to remain eligible for their funding programs. For example, most funding sources require that funded projects be identified within a jurisdiction's park plan, and that the goals and policies contained within support the proposed project. It is critical that the City continue to successfully compete for outside funding to ensure the development and maintenance of a high quality park system now and into the future. Consistency with State and Local Requirements The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires state and local governments to manage Washington's growth by identifying and protecting critical areas and natural resource lands, designating urban growth areas, preparing comprehensive plans and implementing them through capital investments and development regulations. One of the GMA's 14 goals is to "retain open space, enhance recreational opportunities, conserve fish and wildlife habitat, increase access to natural resource lands and water, and develop parks and recreational facilities" (RCW 36.70A.020(9)). As such, cities and counties are encouraged to develop a parks and recreation element to their Comprehensive Plan. A new requirement of the State Growth Management Act is for cities and counties to plan for the promotion of physical activity in their communities. In addition, recommendations, goals, policies, and implementation actions within this plan must support and be consistent with the policy direction in the City's Comprehensive Plan and capital facilities planning. Responsiveness This Plan sets the framework for future improvements to the City's parks and open space system. The Plan will provide guidance to 2 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN f\-IC CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION decision makers and will set the stage to make informed decisions about the future of the City's parks and recreation facilities and programs. As the City continues to grow, new development will occur, and new jobs will be created in Federal Way, creating additional recreation demands. This plan will help prepare the City to be poised to act should future opportunities arise, and thus allows the City to pro-actively address the recreation needs of a diverse and growing community. Guidance This Plan provides guidance to the City's Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department for the next six years and beyond. The plan is a tool for the City to manage its existing park and open space resources. The Plan includes an inventory of existing facilities, and assesses the current and future needs and demands of Federal Way residents. This Plan establishes goal and policy direction, level of service standards and a phased implementation strategy. This Plan update will also provide the basis for parks and open space funding in the City's six-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). 3.

Throughout the planning process there were multiple opportunities for public input, feedback, and comment as described below. 5. Public Involvement As part of the Plan effort, the City initiated a public outreach process to engage community members in a dialogue about the future of PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT ~-ll APRIL 21, 2006 I 5 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION the City's parks, open spaces, and recreation programs. The public outreach process included numerous opportunities for public input such as three meetings with stakellolders (representing various park user groups and decision-makers), a citizen survey made available at city facilities as well as on the City's website, and several public open houses where ideas were presented and public feedback encouraged. Community Survey During February-March 2006, the City gathered input from residents through a parks and recreation survey. This survey was posted on Residents give feedback on specific the City's website, as well as handed out to various community groups park issues at open house # 1. and made available at public facilities such as City Hall. This survey asked questions about the park facilities respondents use, why they use them, the types of recreational activities they do at parks, and priorities for future improvements. Community Open Houses Two open houses were held to listen to residents and gather insights into community parks and recreation needs. Information from these events helped shape the vision for the future of parks and recreation facilities and programs offered in Federal Way. The meetings are summarized below: Residents examine displays and write Open House #1: February 8, 2006. The primary goal of this first open down comments at public open house house was to explain the Plan update process. highlight opportunities #2. for input and feedback. and determine what was important to the community. The open house was set up as a self guided "tour" through various displays, each with exercises set up to elicit responses both about the general importance of park related issues and to generate ideas specific to each park. Open House #2: March 8, 2006. The goal of this open house was to present the key themes that were distilled from responses received during open house #1, the stakeholder group, and the citizen survey. Strategies based upon these key themes or concepts were also presented. Attendees were asked to provide feedback, including what they liked and didn't like about the concepts presented. Stakeholder Group A stakeholder group was also formed to provide guidance for the Plan. Each member of the stakeholder group represented organizations 6 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN \\- 20 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION that have an interest in the future of the City's park system, enabling the City to more effectively reach a broader population by working with these local organizations, sports associations, and service clubs. In addition, these groups have an intimate knowledge of the City's parks and open space facilities and recreation programs and can provide insights and detail to the planning process. Members of the stakeholder group are identified on the acknowledgements page. Three stakeholder meetings were held during the planning process: Stakeholder Meeting #1: February 8, 2006. Overview of the plan update process, stakeholder roles, and plan vision. Stakeholders discuss their vision for parks and recreation at the first Stakeholder Meeting #2: March 8, 2006. Continue discussion stakeholder meeting. regarding Plan vision, summary of public input to date, presentation of draft strategies for active recreation parks, neighborhood parks, open spaces, and recreation programs. Stakeholder Meeting #3: March 29, 2006. Plan priorities and draft plan recommendations. In addition to stakeholder meetings, individual interviews were conducted with stakeholder group members during the week of March 13-17, 2006 to gather additional input and confirmation on core values. Public Hearings/Adoption and Approval Process In addition to the stakeholder meetings and public open houses, several briefings, working sessions, and public hearings with the Parks Commission, Planning Commission, and City Council will be conducted as part of the Plan adoption and approval process. 6. Core Values An integral part of the Parks, Recreation, & Open Space Plan is to understand what is most important to the community. The core PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL 21, 2006 I 7 f\- Z- \ ------------- -------- CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION values which shape the Federal Way Parks and Open Space Plan recommendations builds upon the following extensive public input and sources: · Two Public Open Houses · Parks Plan Survey · Public Open Space Visioning for the Federal Way City Center · Stakeholder Meetings & Interviews · Community Center Public Process (survey, meetings, etc) · Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies · City Council Goals · State and National Trends Children play at Funland in Steel Lake Based on this input, the following 5 core values emerged: Park. Core Value #1: Improve Existing Facilities and Provide Multiple Functions in Parks The City has a wide range of properties and assets in its parks and recreation system, which are distributed throughout the city, including: · Open space and natural areas that provide wildlife habitat, protection of environmentally sensitive areas, and passive recreation opportunities · Trails · Neighborhood parks located in residential neighborhoods, Steel Lake Park picnic shelters are very · Community recreation facilities popular with residents. · A wide variety of recreation programs and facilities r. Public input indicated that there is a strong community desire and emphasis focusing on improving the resources the City currently owns and maintains. This approach promotes better use and efficient management of available resources. The Plan also addresses the multi-use function of each park and open space. Parks that have a variety of uses and facilities at each site appeal to a wider range of user groups, serve different ages within families, and are an efficient means of providing parks and recreation services. As future improvements are made to each park or open space, the City should The BPA Trail cuts through the middle strive to design and operate each facility with the multiple functions of Federal Way. tying together in mind. The city has made significant progress in the past decade several parks, open spaces, and other to enhance the active recreation facilities in the community parks and destinations. the development of new neighborhood parks in underserved areas. In addition, the City has acquired a number of undeveloped parcels as open space or potential future park locations. Many of these facilities are not widely known or used by the community. 8 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY h- 2- L- PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Core Value #2: Develop a Walking and Biking Community Through an Integrated Trail and Sidewalk Network A network of trails and non-motorized facilities is a priority for Federal Way's future. According to the survey results, walking, hiking, and dog- walking are some of the most common activities residents participate in at local park facilities. In fact, walking is one of the easiest means for people to get daily physical activity. For example, the BPA Trail is one of the most highly used facilities in the City. However, an often heard comment is that the BPA Trail does not connect to many other locations or places. A system of loop trails or an interconnected network of sidewalks and trails will provide a series of routes and options for the This sign is building awareness about Federal Way community. These trails should also connect to the trail Federal Way's natural assets. system located within existing parks and open spaces. Core Value #3: Retain and Improve Our Open Spaces Open spaces and natural areas in the City provide an array of benefits to people and wildlife and can contribute to enhancing water quality in the community. These spaces provide pockets of natural areas within the City, wildlife habitat, native plants and trees. and protect environmentally sensitive areas from development. The City's open spaces include wooded areas, ravines, wetlands, and shoreline environments. These open spaces help to define Federal Way's community character. Many of these open spaces contain trails and other opportunities to experience nature close to home. Protecting Federal Way's natural systems is critical to preserving the quality of life in the community. The City should continue to protect and maintain its open spaces and natural resources. These open spaces provide a valuable amenity and resource in the community to be able to both experience and enjoy natural areas. A balance between protecting these areas and providing opportunities for the community to enjoy and use the facilities is essential. The City has an obligation to not only be environmental stewards of these lands, but to also educate and promote community awareness of the benefits of these open spaces. An open Residents gather for Summer Sounds space management program that balances environmental protection, at Steel Lake Park. education, invasive species management, and low impact public access opportunities will provide the greatest benefit to the community now and into the future. PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT ,~~ 2- ~ APRIL 21,2006 I 9 --------. - ----- CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Core Value #4: Create Community Gathering Places and Destinations One of the consistent messages heard from the public is that the City lacks adequate community gathering places or destinations. There are very few places for the community to gather, meet with friends and neighbors, and socialize. Community parks such as Celebration Park and Steel Lake Park currently serve as community gathering places, especially during the summer months. Retail areas also serve this role in the City, though most of the retail areas are strip commercial located along major arterials, not necessarily destination locations like you would find in a Downtown or a neighborhood commercial district. Creating community gathering places is especially important as the City Center develops. People need comfortable places to linger and congregate for community events. The City's parks can continue to fulfill the role as community gathering places, especially if they include amenities, multiple functions, and are safe and comfortable for the public's use. Ensuring that trail and non-motorized improvements connect popular destinations in the City will also encourage increased use of these facilities. Core Value #5: Provide a Balance of Services For a Diverse Population Understanding the population being served and providing programs and opportunities that meet all residents' needs and interests is a major goal of the Plan. Federal Way's park system should serve all sectors of the population, providing a variety of options for active and passive recreation opportunities. The City should offer a diversity of facilities and services to accommodate a variety of age groups, interests, income levels, and abilities. Special considerations should be given to youth, seniors, and persons with special needs. Additionally, Federal Way is becoming increasingly diverse with residents from different backgrounds and cultures. The City should continue to strive to be pro-active in assessing recreational trends and provide services to reflect changing demands in a timely fashion. 7. Draft Vision A vision expresses the community values, goals and priorities for the future of the parks and recreation system. It conveys the park, open space, and recreation qualities desired in the community now and into the future. 10 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN "f\-2~~ CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Federal Way's unique landscape of hills, lakes, views, and Puget Sound shoreline is enjoyed by the community through its linked network of parks, open space, and gathering spots. Quiet green places, vibrant gatherings, and diverse recreation and culture all celebrate Federal Way's character and identity. Our parks are clean, safe, and offer a variety of opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to recreate and be healthy. Vibrant public spaces in the City Center host a variety of public and cultural events. Open spaces protect functioning ecosystems in tandem with supporting public use, enjoyment, and environmental education about the community's natural systems. Active, healthy living is supported by an extensive walking network which links people to parks close to home and community activities and events - community centers, schools, public spaces, the City Center, and other destinations. 8.

Regional Location Federal Way is located in the South Central Puget Sound Region, between Seattle and Tacoma. Federal Way is approximately 25 miles south of Seattle and 8 miles north of Tacoma's City Center. Federal Way is served by Interstate 5, State Route 18 and State Route 167. The major arterials are Pacific Highway South (HWY 99), South 3201h Street, South 336111 Street, South 3481h Street (Campus Drive), 21S1 Avenue Southwest, State Route 161 (Enchanted Parkway), Military Road, and State Route 509 (Dash Point Road). King County Metro is the primary transit service provided within the City. Figure 2.1 Celebration Park is a vicinity map showing the City in its regional context. Planning Area Federal Way is composed of 13,568 acres of land (21.5 square miles), stretching from South 272nd to the north and the Tacoma/Pierce County border to the south, Military Road to the east and Puget Sound to the west. The planning area includes current City limits as well as the Potential Annexation Area (PAA), which is the unincorporated King County area east of 1-5. The PAA is included in the planning area because it is assumed that eventually it will be annexed to the City, and thus, ti,e City must plan for the population's future parks and recreation needs. This plan identifies existing park facilities in the P AA and will provide policy direction on these areas. The City currently BPA Trail at Panther Lake Open owns and maintains one property within the PAA' Camelot Open Space Space. Any reference made to other parkS and open spaces within the PAA is solely for planning purposes- it does not imply city ownership or current responsibility for management. 2. Population Characteristics Federal Way is changing and growing. Who makes up the population within the city of Federal Way in terms of age, income, ethnicity and household composition are major determinants of recreational interests and demand.

Since 2000, the City of Federal Way has added almost 9,000 residents. Projections from the Office of Finance and Management (OFM) show that population growth will continue. Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Population The PAA has a current populalion of approximately 21,000 residents. Assuming that the PAA will be incorporated into the city by the year 2010 there will be a 43.8% increase in population within the city according to Puget Sound Regional Council projections.

According to the City's PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL 21, 2006 I 15 Y-\ - ~I - CHAPTER 2: COMMUNITY PROFILE Comprehensive Plan, Federal Way will need to accommodate 6,188 new residential units and 7,841 new jobs within this time period. This equates to a total population of approximately 102,074 residents by 2022, or a 20% increase. The City is also an employment center, with the majority of employers located in the City Center, along Highway 99, and the West Campus area. If growth projections for the PAA are included in the projected population figures, it is anticipated that the future population will be 132,028 in 2020.1 .-- Since most of the City is buill out and there is limited vacant land ... remaining in the City, much of this population growth will occur in Children participate in art activities on Kid's Day denser infill development, particularly in the City Center and along Highway 99, which is an important factor to consider in siting future park and recreation facilities, and providing a continuous sidewalk and trail network. Planning for population growth and the anticipated development type and location means the City is pro-actively addressing the community recreation needs now and into the future. Age Distribution It is also important to understand the age distribution in the community as each age group tend to have different demands for parks and recreation facilities and programming. For example, youth tend to be more active than other groups. They participate in competitive sports and activities such as baseball, soccer, basketball. football, Senior residents participate in a FIGURE 2.3: AGE DISTRIBUTION community dance class. 35.00% I ~ 30.00% ----~'_.- 2500% ----._----------- '----------- - -ffli . .~_.-_.._,- _. ---'- 20.00% i 0 Federal Way 1990 i !

Seniors (age 55+) are increasingly participating in active recreation programs and activities. This will continue to be the trend as the baby boomers enter this age bracket. According to Census data, approximately 30% of the Federal Way population is under the age of 18. Roughly 30% of the population is part of the "baby boomer" generation, or between the ages of 42 and 60. These numbers imply that parks and recreation planning needs to respond to an aging population while also providing the facilities and programming that are attractive to families. Population Diversity Federal Way teens enjoy a day at the park. The ethnic and cultural composition of a community is another major factor to consider in determining what kinds of recreational and leisure activities may be in demand. Parks and open spaces as well as cultural and recreational programming should address the different values and interests of the various ethnic groups living in the community. The 2000 U.S. Census data indicate the majority of the population in Federal Way is Caucasian (66.1 %), a decline in the overall population since 1990. However, the percentage of racial minorities in the City has increased over the past decade.

In addition, approximately 17.5% of residents were born in another country. These numbers clearly indicate that the City of Federal Way is becoming more diverse and will likely continue to diversify. The City will continue to monitor trends regarding population diversity in the community to ensure it is pro-actively addressing future population needs that reflect the diversity of the community. Shoreline at Dumas Bay Park 3. Natural and Physical Features The richness of Federal Way's natural features and variety in its physical form provide an ideal setting for parks and recreational opportunities. The quality of the City's hydrologic features, forested areas, and scenic vistas is one of the primary reasons that many individuals and families live in Federal Way. The City's natural environment is composed of a wide variety of landforms, soils, watercourses, and vegetation. Its terrain ranges from steep hills and ridge lines to plateaus and lakes. The City of Federal Way is located within the Hylebos Creek, Lower Puget Sound, and Mill Creek drainage basins. These basins contain an integrated system of lakes and streams that provide a natural drainage system for over 36 square miles of southwest King County West Hylebos Wetlands Park and northeast Pierce County. Critical areas such as wetlands, steep slopes, streams, and shorelines provide valuable natural functions such as water purification and wildlife habitat as well as opportunities for passive recreation such as walking and bird watching. Federal Way contains several types of wetlands, including marshes, bogs, ponds, forested and scrub-shrub wetlands. Each wetland type plays a valuable role in the hydrological system and offers unique wildlife habitat and human open space values. Federal Way has eight miles of shoreline and stunning views of the Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and Mt. Rainier.

Chapter 3: Existing Park and Open Space System Currently, the City has a range of community parks, neighborhood parks, open spaces, trails, and other special use facilities. This chapter describes the existing parks and open space system in Federal Way today, including park facility conditions and needs. It also describes facilities owned by other entities, which are located within the City (see Tables 3.2 - 3.6). 1. Overview and Inventory of Federal Way Park and Open Space System The existing parks and recreational areas are divided into six categories. Each category represents a distinct type of recreational activity or opportunity. Figure 3.1 shows the parks and open spaces in the City. Table 3.1 provides a summary of the existing park acreage by category. Detailed park inventory sheets for each park and open space facility, including the specific needs assessment are located in Appendix A of this chapter.

Neighborhood parks are designed primarily for non-supervised, non-organized recreation activities. They generally range in size from 2-10 acres and are intended to serve an area of approximately one-half mile radius. Some of these parks are neighborhood level community gathering places; others are little used. Neighborhood parks provide a diversity of features and facilities close to where people live, including play equipment, picnic areas, trails, open grass areas for passive use, informal spaces, natural areas, and some limited active recreation facilities such as outdoor basketball or tennis courts.

The Department also manages and enjoy Kid's Day. several recreation destination facilities such as the Dumas Bay Centre, the Knutzen Family Theatre and the beach at Steel Lake Park. The new Community Center (opening in 2007) will provide new spaces to significantly broaden the range of cultural and recreation programming opportunities available to the community. The City's cultural and recreation programs served approximately 1,250 individuals in 2005. Programs with the highest unmet demand were education, music, crafts and visual arts, and adult athletics, however this varied depending on the time of year. As of 2003-2004, the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services The Summer Sounds at the Beach Department consists of 30.4 full time equivalents (FTE's) with 13.1 Concert is attended by many.

City Recreation Programs The City offers recreation programs in the following general categories: · Youth and Adult Athletics · Fitness · Dance, Creative Movement, Visual Arts · Theatre Programs · Preschool Education · Seasonal, Specialty and Summer Camps · Aquatics · Inclusive Recreation · Senior Services · Community Events · Rentals and Retreat Facilities 1 City of Federal Way Community Center Business Plan, December 2005. PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT \~ S e-r, APRIL 21, 2006 I 37 - --- - -------------- CHAPTER 4: RECREATION AND CULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS Each quarter, the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department produces the Recreational Programs brochure with a complete listing of classes, programs, events and rental facilities. The City also offers fee reductions and scholarships to assist individuals who meet certain income guidelines for many programs and services. According to the survey conducted as a part of this Plan, approximately 30% of residents participate in City programs of some kind. The majority of residents (70%) learn about City programs through the Recreation brochure, which confirms the effectiveness of this method for providing information. Youth and Adult Athletics The City provides a variety of adult and youth athletic programs. The most popular adult athletics programs sponsored by the City are softball, soccer, and volleyball. The City also offers adult health and fitness classes such as yoga, pilates, and "step & flex." Most youth athletic programs in Federal Way are run by alternative service providers. The City provides support to alternative service providers with access to city facilities such as fields and gyms. Primary service providers for youth athletics include youth soccer, football and baseball associations, YMCA and Boys and Girls Clubs. The City's approach to youth athletics is to provide programs and fill needs within the community not currently provided by alternative service providers. Examples of youth athletic programs provided by the City include: . Girls Basketball . Youth Volleyball (to begin 2006) . Youth Tennis lessons. Although tennis participation nationwide is trending down, youth tennis lessons in Federal Way continue to be popular due to the instructor and quality of instruction. The City does not currently have plans to develop additional youth athletic programs since other providers are doing an effective job meeting the youth athletic program needs of the community.

The City currently offers limited teen focused programs and services. The City does not have a designated staff or budget for developing teen programs. Currently, the Youth Commission activities are facilitated by a Recreation Coordinator with multiple areas of responsibility. The City does offer a teen camp in the Summer. The Boys & Girls Club currently serves the teenage group, offering a broad range of programs in the community including the Teen Center at the EX3 facility. The new EX3 facility includes a technology and computer lab, climbing wall, gymnasium, and teen lounge area. A variety of programs are offered at EX3 including men's basketball league, volleyball league, tutoring and educational programs, art, and Tae Kwon Do. According to the 2006 parks survey, teen programs were listed as a priority for the community. However, as most of the survey respondents were 45+ years of age, it is unclear whether it is the teens themselves who want more programs. Today, teens tend to look for opportunities for unstructured social interaction or specialized 40 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY ~ -(c'L PARKS.

However, interest in health and fitness related classes may rise with the opening of the new Community Center in 2007. The new community center will include an aerobics room; gymnasiums; a leisure pool, lap pool, sauna and steam room; a fitness center, and additional classroom space. Dance, Creative Movement, Visual Arts The City offers some craft and visual arts classes such as photography for beginners, and scrap booking. The crafts and visual arts programs are less popular than some of the other programs offered by the City. The craft/visual arts programs that tend to be most -..- . . . Kids enjoy the arts and crafts program. popular are those In which people learn a skill-such as photography or ceramics. However, the City does not currently have the facilities for those types of arts and media programs (i.e. facilities currently lack a dark room, kiln, etc). The City does not currently have a facility in which to offer additional visual media programs. However, the new Community Center will have sufficient classroom space to offer arts and crafts that do not require specialized equipment or spaces. Dance classes range from toddler dance classes, ice skating lessons, hip hop dance, and cheerleading. Music classes include private and group instruction for guitar and piano, as well as toddler music programs. PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT A~ ~ ~ APRIL 21, 2006 I 41 CHAPTER 4: RECREATION AND CULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS Dance classes and gymnastics are held at Dumas Bay Centre, where there is a stage, a creative movement room, and a visual arts room. Music classes, such as guitar and piano, are held at Saghalie Middle School or Dumas Bay Centre. Gymnastics will likely move to the Community Center when it opens. Dance Classes tend to be large and popular, especially the pre-school age and special interest classes. . Toddlers/young age dance classes are well attended such as toddler tap, youth tap and ballet. . Adult Ballroom Dance is popular; however class sizes tend to fluctuate in size. . The most popular music classes tend to be the private and group lessons such as piano and guitar. . Gymnastics is also quite popular, likely because children are able to participate without parental supervision. Theatre Programs The City offers a variety of theatre arts programs for a range of age groups. Classes include musical theater, private coaching, and acting. Classes are typically held at the Knutzen Family Theater and occasionally at other facilities such as Saghalie Middle School. Pre-school Education The preschool education programs, located at the Steel Lake Annex are designed to promote children's social, physical and cognitive growth in a secure, creative and stimulating environment, and to help prepare children for kindergarten. The City offers parent participation programs for those under three, and a variety of classes ranging from two to eight hours per week for those ages three through five. Preschool education programs fluctuate in popularity with the highest attendance currently being in the classes based on trendy themes. Preschool class numbers are expected to rise when moved to the new community center due to increased visibility, new classrooms and equipment, and the option for parents to enroll their child while they use the pool or fitness room to exercise (the "one stop shop" idea). Seasonal, Specialty and Summer Camps The City currently offers a variety of camp programs throughout the year, offered to children and teens, ages two to fifteen. The youth summer day camp, for those ages six through twelve, is a popular City program, and currently operates at capacity, with available camps size 42 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY f\ ~l, L\ PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN - s. CHAPTER 4: RECREATION AND CULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS constrained by transportation (i.e. two vans plus a shuttle equals the maximum capacity of 35 kids). Camp is currently held at Sherwood Forest Elementary for seven weeks of the Slimmer, and at Steel Lake Park for three weeks. Camp will move to the Community Center when completed. If there is enough interest, the City could operate two sites, one at Sherwood Forest and one at the Community Center. The City is currently exploring other transportation options for the camp. The City also offers Mid-Winter, Spring, and Winter holiday camps, which vary in popularity. Field trips are currently the most popular activity, and boost registration when they are scheduled as a large part of camp. During the summer, the City also contracts out for specialty camps such as martial arts, Lego workshops, and horseback riding camps. Aquatics Aquatics programs are located at the Kenneth Jones Pool and include public swim, swim instruction, water aerobics, and pool parties. Kenneth Jones pool directly competes with the King County Aquatic Center, which has a variety of swimming programs available to the community. The County provides a wider range of programs and services for the pre-school and youth age groups. City programs such as water aerobics are quite popular as well as private swim lessons (mommy & me to adult age). In addition, other service providers offer classes, lessons, and swim team at Kenneth Jones Pool. The new Community Center will replace Kenneth Jones Pool and will include both lap and leisure pools. Inclusive Recreation A program currently growing in popularity is the Recreation, Inc. program, which is geared toward individuals with developmental disabilities. The "Inc." stands for "inclusion," as the City is trying to attract people of ALL abilities to programs. This program consists of a variety of classes, trips, athletics and events which run throughout the year. Senior Services The Klahanee Lake/Senior Center offers a variety of classes, trips, and events for seniors. Generally, the more 'active' programs are growing in popularity (tai chi, senior softball, etc). The less active programs are in decline and less popular (i.e. crafts, bingo, etc). PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT Pt-loS APRIL 21, 2006 I 43 - CHAPTER 4: RECREATION AND CULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS Often, the popularity of programs are instructor-based. When people make a connection with the instructor they are likely to continue. Some of the programs/services currently being provided include: . Art classes . AARP driver safety program . Bridge . Open Pickleball . Excursions . Tai Chi . Bingo . Live music . Hot Lunch Programs 4 days a week . Meals on Wheels (serving 300-350 individuals/year) . Senior softball . Other services e.g., foot care, tax help, etc Community Events Community events are sponsored by the Recreation and Cultural Services Division every month with the exception of: January, March, April, May, and November. Community Events are typically free or low-cost and to assist with the cost of providing events the City seeks other government and corporate sponsorship. Community Events tend to be very popular as they provide opportunities for the participation for all ages, bring the community together, and are financially accessible. Some of the large community events include: Residents enjoying the music at Summer · Red, White and Blues Festival (Held on the 4th of July at Sounds on the Beach. Celebration Park) · Summer Sounds Outdoor Concert Series (Steel Lake Park) · Fall Carnival (Community Center) · Easter Egg Hunt (held at Saghalie Middle School) · Teen Egg Hunt (Saghalie Junior High) · Youth Fishing Derby (Steel Lake Park) Rentals and Retreat Facilities The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department manages several rental facilities that require a fee and often a special use permit. These facilities include picnic sites and shelter at Steel Lake Park, conference rooms and retreat facilities at Dumas Bay Center, event space and kitchen at Klahanee Community and Senior Center, and party rooms at Kenneth Jones Pool. In addition, if Camp Kilworth is purchased by the City, it is likely that the accompanying lodge will be managed as a rental facility for special events. 44 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN Y\~ It ~ - CHAPTER 4: RECREATION AND CULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS 3. Non-City Service Providers In addition to the City of Federal Way's Recreation and Cultural Arts programming there are other public, private, or non-profit organizations and associations within the city, and in close proximity, that offer complementary classes, facilities, and productions in dance, art, and theater. Other recreation programming service providers are summarized in Table 4.2. Since incorporation, the City has closely coordinated with these providers to ensure that the City is not duplicating services already being provided by others. In this way, the Department can concentrate on "filling in the gaps" and provide programs that others do not currently provide.

Recreation Demand As a part of the planning effort for the Community Center, an analysis of recreation trends was conducted to help understand local recreation demand. The following general statements describe how various age groups in the City tend to use parks and recreation facilities.2 The percentages shown below indicate the percentage of the Federal Way population in each age group: · Under 5 years (7.8%) - This group represents users of preschool and tot recreation programs and facilities. These individuals make up the future users of youth recreation programs. · 5 to 14 years (16.1 %) - This group represents current youth program participants. The percentage indicates that both youth and teen programs will continue to be in demand. · 15 to 24 years (14.2 %) - This group represents teen/young adult program participants moving out of the youth recreation programs and into adult programs. This number is likely to increase as the youth age group gets older, indicating continued growth in the active recreation activities such as organized sports. · 25 years to 34 years (15.9%) - This group represents involvement in adult recreation programming. Trends show that organized sports such as softball, volleyball, and soccer will continue in their popularity with this age group. At the same time this group has the characteristic of beginning long- term relationships and establishing families, which competes with being actively engaged in organized sports. · 35 to 54 years (30.7%) - This group represents users of a wide range of adult programming and park facilities. Their characteristics extend from having children using preschool and youth programs to becoming empty nesters. This group typically has less time to devote to recreational activities. They tend to use parks on weekends and the occasional evenings both for active and passive activities. · 55 years plus (15.3%) - This group represents users of older adult programming exhibiting the characteristics of approaching retirement or already retired and typically enjoying grandchildren. This group generally also ranges from very healthy, active seniors to more physically inactive seniors. 2 Source: City of Federal Way Business Plan, 2005; Age group percentages based on Census 2000 figures. 48 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN ~-lU - ------- CHAPTER 4: RECREATION AND CULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS State and National Trends National and state trends in recreational programming and recreation activities, and participation levels people are doing can provide insights into local recreation demands. According to the National Sporting Goods Association Survey (2004), the top five recreational sports in 2004 were exercise walking, camping, swimming, exercising with fitness equipment, and bowling. Walking is consistently the number one exercise in which Americans participate. Over the past ten years, participation in sports such as basketball, football, softball, swimming, tennis, and volleyball has declined while sports such as soccer and baseball have remained relatively steady. 'Extreme sports' type activities such as skateboarding have continued to grow in popularity. National recreation trends also reflect a healthier and more fit senior population. Increasingly, seniors are seeking activities that are more active, while more sedentary activities are on the decline. National trends are reflected at the state level as well. According to the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Planning (SCaRP) report3, the most popular recreation activities are those that are close-to-home and low cost, such as walking/hiking, walking a dog and bicycling. Outdoor team and individual sports is the second most popular recreation activity for Washington residents, followed by nature related activities. Community Feedback on Recreation Programs According to the 2006 Parks survey, special events are the most popular recreation program offered by the City, followed by organized sports and athletics programs. When respondents were asked how to prioritize future investments on recreation programs, respondents indicated that future emphasis should be placed on children and teen programs as well as senior programs. In addition, the public outreach process identified a need to ensure that recreation programming is serving the needs of the increasingly diverse Federal Way community.

Introduction The needs assessment and recommendations chapter focuses on the research, analysis, and observations of the current and future parks and recreation needs for the Federal Way community. The needs assessment is based on analysis of: · Public feedback, · Community vision and values, · Identified local trends in participation and use of facilities, and · State/national recreation trends. The recommendations coming out of the needs assessment inform the development of goals and policies. 2. Needs Assessment The needs assessment includes a system-wide evaluation of park, recreation, and open space needs in the City of Federal Way. A key aspect of the needs assessment is to identify and analyze current service levels in the City's parks and open spaces. The level of service analysis is based on the park's classification and existing standards for each park type, size, and geographic location. This analysis helps to identify existing and future projected needs based on projected population growth. Level of Service Standards Level of service standards are measures of the amount and quality of park and recreation sites and facilities that must be provided to meet a community's basic needs and expectations. 1 The benefit of developing level of service standards is to set goals and provide the community an opportunity to measure progress toward meeting community needs and demands. Level of service standards provide a benchmark for evaluating deficiencies in the existing system, and can provide the justification for the need to develop additional park facilities and improvements. Historically, the accepted practice for park level of service standards has been to apply uniform national standards 1 Planning for Parks, Recreation, and Open Space in Your Community, Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation and the Washington State Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development. February 2005. PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL 21,2006 I 53 'f\~ l S CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS (developed by the National Recreation & Parks Association) of amount of park land per 1000 population or based on geographic distance of residents from parks. However, no two communities are alike and the concept of applying national standards to local conditions does not allow for customization based on community preferences and values. Current trends are moving away from uniform national standards for parks. Most people recognize that nationally-based standards ~. may not yield what individual communities really want or need, nor Upgrading play equipment is an is it always feasible to build more parks to address numeric-based important aspect of improving existing demand. The focus is tending toward developing standards based parks. on local goals and priorities. This approach is particularly relevant in built out communities, like Federal Way, where there is a limited land base for new park development. In addition, many communities are using qualitative measures to help determine whether community .,... i~ .....-r- ~; needs and demands are being met. The focus for Federal Way is to analyze analysis is much more focused on looking at the parks system comprehensively to ensure that the system is addressing the types of recreational activities people in the community are currently doing. The focus for Federal Way is on how best to use the existing park and open space land base to accommodate the activities residents and employees are doing. Many of the recommendations and the qualitative measures included within this chapter focus on efforts that will help to add recreation facilities and also activate and enliven the City's parks and open spaces. Efforts focus on cultivating "community ownership", how parks and open spaces are being used, ways to enhance use and activity levels, development of a City-wide walking system, and how the parks and open spaces help to shape the image and identity of Federal Way as a place with a high quality of life. The level of service standards analyzed in this plan are the same standards that were identified in the 2000 Comprehensive Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan. The 2000 standards are shown in Table 5.1. These standards are recommended because they serve as a baseline for comparing service levels between 2000 and the present conditions, and help identify potential future deficiencies in service. In addition to these calculations, this Plan also recommends that the current quantitative standards be layered with additional, more qualitative approaches to help meet future parks and recreation needs 54 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN ~-l \{ - CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS (as opposed to just building more parks or acquiring more land to meet the number-based standard).

Table 5.2 depicts the LOS calculations for the City and P AA population for both current and 2012 population projections. Regional Parks Regional parks serve the City and surrounding area. They are often large park facilities that include both passive and active recreation uses. Dash Point State Park is the only regional park in the City. Dash Point State Park maintains a large camping area, which draws people from throughout the state. Analysis According to the level of service calculations, the City is currently meeting its level of service standard of 2.6 acres/1 000 population for PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT Y\--I\ APRIL 21, 2006 I 55 - s CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Community Park Level of Service regional parks, and will continue to do so into 2012.

City = 222 ac Community Parks City+PAA = 297 ac Community parks are the primary active recreation facilities in the Current Service Levels: City, providing active and structured recreation opportunities for the City = 2.6 ac/1,OOO community as well as passive recreation uses. Community parks City + PAA = 2.8 ac/1 ,000 have a larger service area, typically a 2 mile radius. Most of the City Future Need (2012): is served by a community park facility per this definition. Community City = 36 ac parks include Celebration Park, Lakota Park, Steel Lake Park, City + PAA = 24 ac Saghalie Park, and Sacajawea Park, totaling 222 acres. Community parks offer a diversity of facilities and tend to be the more popular and recognizable parks in the system because of the park size, range of amenities, sports fields, and passive recreation areas. These parks are also locations where members of the whole family can recreate, participating in a variety of activities concurrently. Analysis According to the level of service calculations, the City is close to meeting its level of service standard of 2.8 acres/1000 population for the current population. The current service level is 2.6 acres/1 000 population. For the projected 2012 population. an additional 36 acres would be necessary to meet the level of service standards for community parks, or approximately one additional community park. When the population and parks located within the PAA are included in the analysis, then the current level of service for community parks improves because there are three parks in the PAA that function as community parks: Lake Geneva Park, Five Mile Park, and South County Ball fields. If we address the population in the PAA, then the parks that serve those areas should also be included in the area totals (although the City is not currently responsible for those facilities). The current level of service for community parks for both the City and PAA is 2.8 acres/1 000 population. For the 2012 projected population (combined City and PAA) the level of service is 2.6 acres/1 000, or a future need of 24 additional acres. The community parks in the system are well loved and used by the community. Many are destinations in the community and the 56 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN ~"l\ - CHAPTER 5: NJ:EDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS location of large community events. Most of the facilities are in fair to good shape, but could benefit from some strategic improvements. Additionally, while Sacajewea and Lakota Parks have been master planned, and Celebration Park and Saghalie Park have been recently developed, Steel Lake Park has not been master planned or studied to determine how to maximize utilization and benefits. The primary issue raised by the community is the condition of the outdoor athletic fields including soccer fields and softball/baseball fields. Poor drainage on some of the fields, fields that are not An adult softball game at Steel Lake regula lion size, and unlit fields limits the ability to program these Park. spaces for year round games and events that meet the needs of all users. Most of these fields are programmed for leagues and organized sports. Upgrading these athletic fields will substantially improve the usability of the parks by increasing the number of games that can be programmed annually in those facilities. Additional input through the public process indicates that there is a lack of unprogrammed fields in the City for informal groups that are not associated with leagues or sports groups. Informal users of the soccer, basketball, and baseball/softball fields compete with organized sports associations and league play for the use of these facilities. These informal users get 'bumped' from the fields when league play need to use them. School grounds in the community often provide Soccer field and track at Sacajawea Park an opportunity for unorganized use of the fields, although these fields are also programmed for use by the schools and some of the local recreation providers. Neighborhood Parks There are a total of 19 neighborhood parks within the City, located primarily in single family residential areas. The City has made significant progress in recent years in constructing new neighborhood parks in underserved areas as well as conducting phased improvements at some of the older neighborhood parks. Most areas in the City have a neighborhood park within a quarter to half mile of all residents with the exception of limited areas in the southeast and north part of the city. Neighborhood parks serve a local purpose to the surrounding residential neighborhood. The neighborhood parks range in character and use. Some of the neighborhood parks are neighborhood level PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT (.\ - l.'1 APRIL 21, 2006 I 57 - CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS community gathering places, while others are tucked away and not Neighborhood Park Level of visible or regularly used. Service Standard: 1.7 ac/1 ,000 Analysis The City currently exceeds its level of service standard for Current Inventory: neighborhood parks (1.7ac/1 ,000), with an existing ration of 1.8 City = 158 ac ac/1000 population. Future needs to 2012 indicate that the system will City+PAA = 193 ac need approximately 1.5 acres of additional neighborhood park land by 2012. Current Service Levels: City = 1.8 ac/1 ,000 When the population and parks located within the PAA are included City + PAA = 1.8 ac/1 ,000 in the analysis, then the current level of service for neighborhood Future Need (2012): parks is roughly the same, or 1.8 acres/1 000 population. There City = -1.5 ac are two neighborhood parks in the PAA-- Bingaman Pond Park and City + P AA = 1.7 ac Camelot Park. Future neighborhood park needs for the City and PAA combined is 2.2 acres, or roughly one additional neighborhood park. AMENITY-BASED STANDARDS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS This plan recommends applying the level of service standards from the 2000 Plan because they establish a good benchmark for progress the City has made to date. Although the City is in good condition regarding standards for quantity of neighborhood parks, it became evident through the outreach process for this Plan that many of the neighborhood parks are not well-known or well-used. Play areas such as this one in Madrona Some of the neighborhood parks have issues with poor visibility, Park are popular with residents. vandalism, or aging equipment. As the City has done an effective job of providing a diversity of neighborhood parks in the system, the most important need for neighborhood parks is to focus on ways to enliven them and make them more usable places. Most of the future need for neighborhood parks is amenity-based, to ensure that each neighborhood park has a minimum or baseline of improvements. Recommendations later in this chapter focus on the specific improvements that will help to activate the neighborhood parks, engage the local neighborhood in the design and stewardship of the parks, and capitalize on the unique potential of each park. Based on this analysis, the City should layer the current level of French Lake Park is currently functioning service standard with an amenity-based standard for neighborhood as an off-leash dog park. parks to ensure that the parks will be safer and more comfortable and usable to park users. This would include: 58 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 'F\-- ~ U PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN - CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS TABLE 5.2 LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS FOR THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY AND TH E POTENTIAL ANNEXATION AREA Regional.

City + PAA = 5.3 ac/1,OOO Future Need (2012): Open Spaces City = 5.9 ac Federal Way has an extensive system of open space lands, many of City + PAA = 5.0 ac which are unimproved or undeveloped lands. These open spaces offer urban residents access to natural areas. Open spaces provide value to people, animals and the environment. The City manages a broad range of open spaces, each with varying constraints and potential. Some open spaces have environmental constraints such as wetlands or steep slopes, and function more as "breathing room" open spaces. Some of the City's open spaces are small parcels that do not have significant open space or habitat value. Others are larger and provide trails within a well-intact natural setting. Some provide shoreline access. Many of the City's open spaces have the potential for educational and interpretive opportunities. Several open spaces in the system may be appropriate for park development to meet the recreation needs of the community in the future. Analysis Within the City there are a total of 543 acres of open space lands or roughly 6.3 acres/1000 population, which exceeds the City's level of service standard of 6.0 ac/1000 population. Future needs for open space, based on a 2012 population is an additional 11 acres of open space. When the PAA is included in the analysis, the current level of service for open spaces is 5.9 ac/1 000 population, or just slightly below the City's level of service standard because there are not many publicly owned open space areas in the PAA. Future open space needs for the City and the PAA will require an additional 116 acres of open space to meet the City's level of service standard, which could be 60 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY R--~L-- PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN --------- CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS difficult to attain given that there are limited undeveloped areas within Trails Level of Service the City that are not already publicly owned. One option for meeting the City's level of service standard for open space may be to add Standard: 2.2 ac/1 ,000 or 0.2 miles partial open space credit for open spaces owned by other public entities. Current Inventory: City = 118 ac (5.8 mi) Trails City+PAA = 118 ac (5.8 ac) There are two major trails in the City that aren't within parks or Current Service Levels: opens spaces: the BPA Trail and West Campus Trail. These trails, City = 1.4 ac/1 ,000 (.06 mi) particularly the BPA trail, are popular and widely used. However, City + PAA = 1.1 ac/1,000 during the public outreach process, residents complained about the (.05 mil inadequate maintenance of the BPA trail corridor, extensive invasive species, and the tact that the trails do not go anywhere or connect to Future Need (2012): destinations. Many of the City's parks and open spaces also contain City = 85 ac (12.6 mil trails or walking loops. Two examples are West Hylebos Wetlands City + PAA = 134.7 ac Park and Panther Lake Open Space, which contain a significant (17.2mi) amount of trails. Dash Point State Park also has an extensive system of trails, and is well used by the community. There are also a number of shorter trails within the City system. Analysis The City's current level of service standard is based on both the acreage dedicated to the trail, and the actual length of the trail. The City has 118 acres dedicated to trails (the bulk of which is within the BPA Trail right-ot-way) or 1.4 acres/lOOO population. Based on that standard, the City would need to dedicate an additional 71 acres to Poverty Bay Park is currently trail use to meet the City's level ot service standard today, and an additional 15 acres above and beyond that to meet future needs in undeveloped, but has the potential to be an open space with shoreline access and 2012. nature trails. Many communities use the acreage calculation for trails because it is the most straightforward approach given the data available and it is consistent with calculations tor other park category. The area level of service calculation for trails does not address the function or distance of the trail. Also, trail corridor wid.ths vary, thus creating vastly different acreages/mile calculations. The City's trail standard for trail length is 0.2 miles of trail/1 000 population. Based on that standard, the City has a deficiency of trails in the community. There are a total of 5.8 miles of trail measured in the City and PAA, or 0.06 miles (317 ft) per 1000 population (including trails in West Hylebos Wetlands Park ~". and Panther Lake Open Space). However, this calculation is not an English Gardens Park offers a walking trail that connects the West Campus Open Space and Alderbrook Park. PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL 21, 2006 I 61 X\--~ ----- ---- -------- CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND'RECOMMENDATIONS accurate portrayal of the trail system in the City and is misleading because there are a number of trails within parks and open spaces that have not been mapped or measured. To meet future demand using the current standard, the City would need to construct an additional 12.6 miles to serve the City's projected 2012 population and 17.2 miles to serve the future City and PAA demands. The City needs to complete mapping of the existing trail system within parks to broaden understanding of the Alderbrook Park system. Measuring the existing trail distances will make a significant difference in meeting the City's level of service standards. Once that effort is accomplished, the City will have a clearer understanding of the trail resources available within the community and the remaining deficiencies to meet the level of service standards. As mentioned above, to meet the needs of the community, the level of service standards should be layered with more qualitative measures that address the condition of the trails to ensure that they are safe for pedestrian and bicycle use, and that they are effectively connecting destinations and adequately signed. For urban trails (paved surfaces) it is important that the trails are ADA accessible and clear of obstructions. Nature trail areas must also be periodically assessed to ensure that the trail surface is in good condition, free of obstructions, and that they are ADA accessible wherever possible. System-wide level of service In 2006, there are a total of 1068 acres of City-owned park and open space land within the City of Federal Way including roughly 524 acres in developed parks and 544 acres in undeveloped open space. If Dash Point State Park is included in the calculation for total acreage then there are 1465 acres of park and open space within the City. If the available parks within the Potential Annexation Area (PAA) are included in those calculations, a total of 1613 acres of park and open space are located within the City and P AA (1090 acres in developed parks/573 acres in open space). This includes City, State, and County park facilities. The City's level of service standard for total park land is 10.9 acres/1000 population. The current service level for the City is 16.9 acres/1000 population, for the County and PAA together, the current 62 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY ~_~L\ PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS service level is 14.9 acres/1 000 population. What this means is that system-wide, the City has an adequate amount of park land to serve both the current and future projected population for both the City and PAA. However, much of this acreage is raw land in unprogrammed/ undeveloped open space. The bulk of the deficiencies is in improved trails. PARK SPECIFIC ANAL YSIS Appendix A includes individual analyses for each of the major parks and open spaces in the system. The park inventory sheets summarize the park's character and context, specific issues to be addressed, park potential. and near term and long term needs. Evaluation matrices for each facility type (Community Parks, Neighborhood Parks, Open Spaces) can be found in Appendix C) These tables includes the evaluation criteria developed to help assess the constraints and opportunities of each park. Plan Recommendations The following recommendations have been developed based on the findings of the needs assessment and the consistent themes that emerged from the public outreach process. The recommended actions inform policy direction and project prioritization. The recommendations are organized according to the five 'core values' that came out of the planning process. These 'core values' are fully explained in Chapter 1 . System-Wide Recommended Actions The most important and cost effective actions the City can undertake to address the health and longevity of the system is to: · Focus on strategic improvements within existing parks and open spaces that enhance the quality of the park experience; · Identify methods that activate and enliven the spaces to make them more inviting usable, and safe. · Provide for a range of recreational opportunities at each park to satisfy community demands for all age groups and backgrounds. PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL 21, 2006 I 63 }L\~~ CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND' RECOMMENDATIONS Core Value 1: IMPROVE EXISTING FACILITIES & PROVIDE MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS IN PARKS Improving existing facilities and providing multiple functions in parks so that parks address different interests, and can provide 'one stop' recreating, is the highest priority for the community based on public feedback. This core value is supported by the following points: · According to the City's 2006 parks survey, when asked how the City should prioritize future projects, respondents indicated that doing improvements to existing facilities was the number one priority. · National recreation trend points to the fact that people desire quality over quantity with service, programs, and facilities. This trend is also reflected at the local level based on input from residents during the public outreach process. · The City's parks and open space network is extensive and includes a variety of spaces and activities. This system is a key asset to the Federal Way community because it not only provides low cost access to recreational opportunities, but the parks and open spaces in the system help to define the community's image, culture, and community character. Parks and open spaces also provide opportunities for social interaction, and enhance community quality of life. · Since incorporation, the City has done an effective job at improving its community parks and neighborhood parks. The City has also made great strides in developing new facilities, such as the Community Center and new neighborhood parks like Madrona and Alderdale Parks. Thus, acquisition of more parks is not the current priority. · For the community parks, some of the athletic fields are not operating at maximum efficiency due to poor drainage, inadequate lighting, and/or irregularly sized fields. Continue to master plan and improve facilities and balance both the active and passive recreation uses at these parks to provide multi-generational use and enjoyment. · From an area calculation perspective, the level of service analysis indicates that the City is already close to meeting future projected demand for parks and recreation.

Below are specific recommended actions that address improvement of existing facilities and providing multiple functions in parks. The actions are organized by park type. Community Parks Each of the community parks were evaluated to determine the potential of each park. Table C.1 in Appendix C summarizes the constraints and potential of each Community Park. Celebration Park To meet active recreation demand, the first priority should be to bring the athletic fields up to standards to meet demand. This would include addressing drainage, regulation sized fields, installation of artificial turf to extend the playing season, and lighting to allow for play during the evenings and winter months. Other recommended community park improvements are meant to address the image and identity of the parks, to help them be more visible to the public as civic/community destinations, and to make them welcoming and inviting places. SPECIFIC ACTIONS INCLUDE: . Implement the Park Master Plans for Lakota and Sacajawea Parks developed in 2006, which address both active and passive recreation uses at each park. . Develop a Master Plan to upgrade athletic facilities and passive recreation areas at Steel Lake Park. . Develop a facilities improvement plan to address the athletic fields at Saghalie Park. . At Saghalie Park, install park identity and street frontage improvements along SW Campus Dr. This would include streetscape improvements, enhanced pedestrian entrances, park identity signs, and other treatments as appropriate. . Develop a phasing plan for converting some existing grass soccer fields in community parks to artificial turf. PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT ~-~l APRIL 21, 2006 I 65 CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS If after improvements have been made to existing facilities and demand has not been satisfied, the City should then explore other options, focused on improvements on other public lands that do not require further property acquisition. Specific actions could include: . Explore partnerships with Federal Way Public Schools to identify opportunities for active recreation improvements at IIIahee Middle School. Most of the existing community parks are located adjacent to schools. Of all the middle schools within City limits, IIlahee is the only one that is not located near a community park. The school district owns additional lands adjacent to the school. A partnership approach at this location would provide for cost sharing between the City and School District and would help to satisfy the needs of the community as well as the student body. . If and when areas within the Potential Annexation Area (PAA) are annexed, the Department should develop a phasing plan to update the community parks located within the PAA. There are currently three community parks in the PAA with active recreation facilities: Five Mile Park, Lake Geneva Park, and South County Ball fields. This phasing plan would be based on need and opportunity, negotiated conditions of transfer from King County, available funding, and would address specific actions that need to occur to bring the fields up to current standards. Figure 5.1 visually shows the recommendations described above. Neighborhood Parks The City has an extensive system of neighborhood parks. Many of these parks are underutilized and have untapped potential. Some of these parks have high potential as neighborhood gathering places, others will remain as small neighborhood parks where general upkeep and improvements should occur over time. Other neighborhood parks can realize potential based on their location as part of a larger trail and sidewalk network in the City. The greatest opportunity in many of these neighborhood parks is to design improvements that help to activate or enliven the spaces. Recommendations for neighborhood parks are both general and specific to different neighborhood park types. For the purposes of this analysis and the recommendations, neighborhood parks were divided into the following four subcategories. 66 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY ~<6~ PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS FIGURE 5.1 FEDERAL WAY COMMUNITY PARK RECOMMENDATIONS t.

Each of the neighborhood parks were evaluated based on criteria such as visible park entries, access, sense of place, surrounding land use, etc. Table C.2 in Appendix C summarizes the potential of each neighborhood park. NEIGHBORHOOD GA THERING PLACES These are neighborhood parks that have unique features or assets that could be capitalized upon further.

Parks with the potential to be neighborhood gathering places include: . Adelaide . Alderdale . Alderbrook . Coronado . French Lake . Mirror Lake . Palisades . Thompson (to be constructed in 2006). Working with local neighbors, the City should develop improvements for each of these parks based on their unique potential and community desires. This process would be designed to identify specific Lake Kilarney improvements that would help to activate the parks. SPECIAL USE PARKS Through the neighborhood public outreach process, identify the potential for 'special use' park features such as a splash fountain, mini amphitheater, skate park, dog park, wildlife sanctuaries, etc that would be unique to the park. Additional improvements at these parks would focus on improving the safety and security of the park, enhancing the street appeal at park entries, or adding site amenities such as picnic tables, picnic shelters, and barbeque pits. Dumas Bay Park and Lake Killarney Park are two examples of neighborhood parks that do not function as typical neighborhood parks due to their location, and relatively natural states. These two parks may better function as sanctuaries while maintaining parking and other basic site amenities such as benches, trails, and interpretive signage. The SW 312th St Courts are another example of a special use park. PASSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS These are some of the small neighborhood parks that have limited access, are tucked away on local residential streets, are often completely surrounded by single family residential homes, have low usage currently, and have limited or no parking. Passive neighborhood parks include: . Dash Point Highlands Park PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL 21, 2006 I 69 f\-11 -------- ------- CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS . Heritage Woods Park . Lake Grove Park . Wildwood Park . Wedgewood Park Recommended actions at passive neighborhood/local use parks focus on small upgrades to increase the function and safety of the park, and to help activate them. This could include actions such as upgrading play equipment and site furnishings as needed. Dash Point Highlands Park NEIGHBORHOOD TRAIL NODES There are several neighborhood parks within the system that have the potential to connect to a larger system of trails and non-motorized improvements in the City. These are parks that are located near other open space areas and the City's existing trail network. Improvements at these parks will help to link together routes between community destinations such as schools, community facilities, parks, multifamily housing, and create longer trail segments and loops in the system. Parks with the potential as neighborhood trail nodes include: . Alderbrook Park . English Gardens Park . Olympic View Park . Madrona Park Both Alderbrook Park and English Gardens Park have the potential to connect with the BPA Trail, West Campus Open Space, and Panther Lake Open Space. Linking these parks to the larger network of trails in the central part of the City will make significant strides in developing an interconnected system of trails and sidewalks connecting community destinations and landmarks. Olympic View Park, adjacent to Woodbridge Park Open Space, is another park with potential to extend the City's trail network. Long term, a trail linking Woodbridge Park Open Space, Olympic View Park, Lochaven Open Space, and Poverty Bay Open Space would provide a trail network on the west side of the City. Madrona Park, a recently developed neighborhood park, is already connected to the BPA Trail. This park links the south part of the city to the BPA Trail, Panther Lake Open Space, and Celebration Park. Specific recommended actions for neighborhood trail node parks focus on trail installation or improvements, identity signs, a wayfinding system, and trailhead improvements. 70 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY '{\ -~ 2- PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN - ------ ------ CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS PARK ACT/VA nON Park activation recommendations are two fold. The first step is to enhance safety and visibility into the parks to encourage increased use. The second is programmatic, in terms of supporting activities in parks that help to activate the spaces. The key improvement for every neighborhood park is to increase the visibility of the park from the street-both in terms of safety and security to park users as well as making sure that the parks are readily identifiable as parks. This means integrating Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles, improving the street frontage, facilitating visibility into the parks, installing identity signs at each park entrance, and other treatments such as low lying plants, bollards, or low fences to define the edge of the park. Beyond physical improvements at neighborhood parks, programmatic efforts will also help to activate the parks and make them more usable to the public. This can occur through several potential efforts including: . Utilize neighborhood workshop process to help customize improvements specific to neighborhood needs. . Encourage 'ownership' of neighborhood parks from: 0 Neighborhood residents/homeowner association stewardship; 0 Partner with local service clubs and organizations such as the Rainier Audubon Society, Master Gardeners, Korean Seniors Association, service clubs and schools in an adopt a park program; 0 School curriculum regarding physical activity and the natural environment; 0 Reinstating the City's small and simple grant program for neighborhood initiated park improvements; . Volunteer work parties associated with Earth Day, Day of Caring, Clean Sweep, etc. . Working with Federal Way businesses, develop a corporate sponsorship/volunteer program to organize employees into volunteer work teams for specific projects and activities. . Encourage cultural and special events to take place in the parks. . Consider quarterly or annual events such as summer movies in the park. PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT F\~~\3 APRIL 21, 2006 I 71 - --------- ---..---- CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Figure 5.2 visually shows the recommendations described above. Maintenance Program An essential component of implementing the intent of Core Value #1 is to ensure that the existing park facilities are well maintained and that improvements are made on an ongoing basis. Proper maintenance and renovation of parks and replacement of outdated equipment will prevent and/or correct potentially hazardous conditions. This protects the public as well as reduces liability to the City. An ongoing maintenance program also helps to improve the image and identity of The "big red mower" helps in maintaining the park system by addressing issues like vandalism and graffiti. the City's many sports fields and grassy areas. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City should develop a systematic annual maintenance plan/ work program that helps to address ongoing maintenance tasks and prioritize staff hours. A maintenance program addresses: . Phased installation of durable materials; . Landscape maintenance activities; . Invasive species management program; . Where feasible incorporate natural drainage systems and low impact design and maintenance practices. Core Value 2: CREATE COMMUNITY GATHERING PLACES AND DESTINATIONS Recent community input placed an emphasis on community gathering places in the City, particularly for the City Center. Analysis shows the following to be true: · The City's parks are places where the community recreates and socially interacts. Community parks, such as Celebration Park and Steel Lake Park currently serve the function as community gathering places for outdoor special events and community functions like the Red, White and Blues Festival and summer concerts. · The new Community Center will serve as a gathering place year round and is envisioned to be the 'heart' of the community. · The public has indicated a desire for more places witllin the City where people can informally gather like small downtown 72 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN ~~c,~ --------- CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS FIGURE 5.2 FEDERAL WAY NEIGHBORHOOD PARK RECOMMENDATIONS Kent Des , Moines -<r --.. ?

This would also help to activate the parks and encourage increased use. · The temporary off-leash dog park at French Lake is an example of how a change in use can help to activate a park. This park now functions as a community gathering place for A community gathering place in a more dog owners who visit each day. Many of these park patrons urban context. are quite active in volunteer efforts and raise funds to maintain and improve the park facilities. · Gathering spaces should be connected by trails and sidewalks so that they are part of a larger, interconnected network. · The City Center offers the best opportunity for these types of gathering places. Recommended Actions: . Develop an open space strategy that would incorporate multiple gathering places or a 'central 'commons' or town square in conjunction with City Center mixed-use redevelopment. . Some neighborhood parks have the potential to become Funland in Steel Lake Park functions as neighborhood level gathering places (as described above). a community gathering place. especially if neighborhood events were held there such as movies in the park or neighborhood picnics to help activate the space. . After the one-year trial period for the temporary off-leash area at French Lake Park (August 2006), an assessment of its suitability as an off-leash area should be conducted. In addition, identify other park sites that may have the potential for an off-leash dog park area. Potential locations include: BPA Trail right-of-way, Spring Valley, Adelaide (horse arena) and potentially other sites to explore through the public process. . Activate and increase use of the BPA trail. Consider engaging groups in beautification and landscaping efforts such as adopt- a-tree and/or siting of special uses such as off-leash areas, p-patches, etc where feasible. · Develop a more effective marketing strategy for Dumas Bay Centre so that it becomes more 'visible' and functions more as 74 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY ~~1~ PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN - ~i1 CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS a community gathering place. Figures 5.1 and 5.2 visually show the community parks/facilities and neighborhood parks, respectively, that could function more as gathering places and destinations. Core Value 3: RETAIN AND IMPROVE NATURAL OPEN SPACES The City's extensive open space system provides a variety of outdoor settings to access nature close to home. The following points were derived from public input and analysis of open space trends both locally and state-wide: · Open spaces and natural areas help define Federal Way's character. · Many people use parks for their natural and scenic qualities and to 'get away' from urban life. In the region and the state, access to natural areas is important to our quality of life. In fact, walking/hiking in nature is one of the more popular recreation activities in the state. · The open space types in the City have varying constraints and potential. Some open spaces are small parcels of land with limited ecological or recreational function. Others are quite large and include a wealth of natural and cultural features unique to Federal Way, such as the West Hylebos Wetlands Park. · The needs assessment indicates that the City currently has an adequate supply of open space. · The key to an effective management strategy is to determine the potential of each open space as habitat first, and then for appropriate level of public access and future recreational opportunities. The larger open spaces were evaluated using criteria such as the presence of environmental constraints, habitat value and function, accessibility, the potential for public access/trails, and other criteria as shown. Open space characteristics and qualities are summarized in Table C.3 in Appendix C. Sasedon that analysis, there are essentially four types of open spaces in the City: PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL 21, 2006 I 75 \'\. 4'l --- ------ CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS '" 1 ) Open spaces with habitat and ecological function that have the potential for enhanced public access and education. 2) Open spaces that provide shoreline access. 3) "Breathing Room" open spaces. These are undeveloped areas with environmental constraints that may offer limited public access, but serve a function by protecting sensitive areas and providing green space in the City. 4) Open spaces that have the potential to become developed parks to meet future recreation demand. Recommended Actions OVERALL OPEN SPACE SYSTEM . Develop an Open Space Management Program that: 0 Identifies critical areas and wildlife habitat potential 0 Addresses invasive species and plant management 0 Integrates low impact. sustainable maintenance practices. . Evaluate each of the open spaces in greater detail to determine the potential for highest and best use of the property. Some of these lands are located in the south part of the City, or near areas that are currently underserved by parks. These individual parks should be evaluated to determine their potential as future developed parks. In addition, there are some properties that do not add significant value to the open space system. The City should evaluate whether any of these lands should be surplused to provide funding toward other park/open space enhancements; . Construct low impact trails where safe and feasible to enhance public access to open spaces; HABlTA T VALUE/ECOLOGICAL FUNCTION The City's larger open spaces offer the most opportunities for public use and have the greatest potential habitat value and ecological function in the City. These include: . Panther Lake . Spring Valley . Poverty Bay . West Hylebos Wetlands Park . Fishers Pond 76 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN ~--q~ - .------- ---- - -------- CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS . . For open spaces with the potential for enhanced public access and educational opportunities, recommendations include: . Determine the extent of environmental constraints and habitat value at each of these open spaces; . Balance ecological function with public access and education; . Construct low impact trails where safe and feasible; . Integrate educational component such as interpretive signage . Partner with local groups such as the Audubon Society, Friends of the Hylebos Wetlands, Master Gardeners, etc to do work projects and sponsor guided tours/walks; . Partner with the School District. develop a "learning landscapes" program that encourages a student curriculum around: 0 Native species and control of invasive species; 0 Urban Wildlife; 0 Design; 0 Stewardship; () Environmental awareness. SHORELINE ACCESS Although the City is situated on the Puget Sound, there is limited public shoreline access due to private ownership of much of the shoreline. Parks and open spaces with public shoreline access include: . Dumas Bay Centre . Dumas Bay Park . Poverty Bay . Dash Point State Park (not owned by City) . Camp Kilworth (once added to system) Topography also influences shoreline access in the City. Both Poverty Bay and Dumas Bay Centre are located on a bluff overlooking Puget Sound. Recommendations include: . Enhance public shoreline access opportunities at Poverty Bay and Dumas Bay Centre. . Explore additional shoreline access at small shoreline open spaces located at unopened street ends. . Explore the potential for a Washington Water Association trail (for kayaks, canoes, and other non-motorized watercraft) connecting Federal Way parks along the shoreline, and PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL 21, 2006 I 77 1\ ~tl ~ CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS potentially connecting to a larger regional system to waterfront parks in Des Moines and Tacor}1a. . Restore and protect eroded shoreline areas. BREA THING ROOM OPEN SPACES Many of the linear open spaces in the City, or greenbelts, have environmentally sensitive areas such as steep slopes or creeks that may limit future improvements. These 'breathing room' open spaces, such as Lochhaven Open Space or Woodbridge Park Open Space, are important to the open space system because they not only protect these sensitive areas from development, but they provide the opportunity to provide trail connections to other parks and community ~. destinations. Public access (i.e. trails) should be encouraged where safe, feasible, and not destructive to high quality habitat or critical areas. In addition, there is an opportunity for private open space, which serve ecological and 'breathing room' open space functions, should also be explored through incentive based programs such as conservation easements. Core Value 3: DEVELOP A WALKING AND BIKING COMMUNITY THROUGH AN INTEGRATED TRAIL AND SIDEWALK NETWORK This core value is about connecting community destinations and Panther Lake linking them in ways that encourage people to exercise and recreate. The following points emerged from the planning process and analysis: · Walking is consistently the number one recreational activity people participate in, and this trend is on the rise. · The needs assessment shows the city has a deficiency of trails. Sidewalks are also limited in the City. · Providing safe places for pedestrian movement is an important aspect of encouraging people to walk. · To be a vibrant, healthy city, community destinations and landmarks should be connected via an integrated system of sidewalks and trails. · The SPA Trail is one of the most heavily used recreation facilities in the City; however some residents complained that 78 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN ~'-\D\) CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS FIGURE 5.3 FEDERAL WAY OPEN SPACE RECOMMENDATIONS ?

Most users drive to the trail, park, walk for a while and then turn around and go back to their cars. · People often choose parks when they are accessible to walking, bicycling, or transit routes, or because they have adequate parking. · Expanding the trail system is a high priority for the community, particularly routes that 'go some place' and connect major City destinations. -,.__.. --- · It is unreasonable to expect that the City has the funding to "J, A trail entrance to English Gardens Park. build an extensive trail system. Instead, the focus should be on strategic connections utilizing both the existing and planned sidewalk system with existing and new trails in parks. Figure 5.4 conceptually depicts some potential walking and biking routes in the City. Recommended Actions: . Prioritize sidewalk and trail improvements in areas near schools, community facilities. retail areas, and multi-family residential (where a higher concentration of people live). . Utilize the existing and planned sidewalk network to facilitate connections between parks and trail routes. . Connect Celebration Park to Steel Lake Park through a downtown sidewalk network, safe pedestrian street crossings, intersection improvements, wayfinding signage, and enhanced pedestrian treatments and amenities. . Create neighborhood walking routes that link neighborhood parks, open spaces, and public lands with trails and pedestrian The BPA Trail currently extends south improvements such as: through Madrona Park and will soon 0 Connect Panther Lake/BPA Trail through English extend to the Federal Way City Limits Gardens Park to Alderbrook Park. 0 Connect Woodbridge Open Space to Olympic View Park through Lochhaven and eventually connecting to Poverty Bay Open Space; .

Develop a comprehensive walking program such as a "Walk Federal Way' campaign to promote physical activity, develop community ownership, and walking identity in the City. The Walk Federal Way campaign could include an array of activities, programs, and events including: 0 Walking events; 0 The development of neighborhood 'walking maps'. These walking maps could highlight key community features and landmarks along each route, identify distances and level of difficulty, and could highlight public amenities along the way; 0 Develop a greater awareness of the walking routes and trails through a system-wide wayfinding signage program that identifies routes, distances, and pedestrian orientation maps; 0 Engage walking groups such as Volksmarch, etc. Core Value 5: PROVIDE A BALANCE OF FACILITIES & SERVICES FOR A DIVERSE POPULATION As evidenced in demographic trends, the City's population is diversifying. Understanding the makeup of the Federal Way community is important so that the City is providing programs and services that meet all residents' needs and interests. To be effective, recreation programming must adapt and respond to changing community interests and activities. The City must continue to be pro-active in monitoring local and national trends to ensure all ages, abilities and backgrounds are being served. Recommended Actions RECREA nON PROGRAMS Through the public process, both teen programs and senior programs were ranked as important to the community. There is an identified need, both in terms of trends and anecdotal evidence, for a wider range of senior programs that provide active recreation opportunities 82 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN l'A - ) C)~ - ---- CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS for seniors, especially given that the baby boomers will reach senior status within the planning horizon of this Plan. In addition, teen programming was identified as important to the community, though it is unclear whether people desire more programs for teens or are simply looking for things for teens to do. . Develop a more detailed analysis of senior and teen programming needs. . The City should evaluate the need for structured teen programs. Consider using the Youth Commission to do a Teen Assessment to understand what teens need and want. . The City should Balance the development of passive and active recreation opportunities. As previously identified, Federal Way is becoming increasingly diverse. Yet it is unclear what that means from a recreation programming perspective. Part of the challenge is engaging these groups to understand their needs. Anecdotal evidence points to a need for unprogrammed recreation facilities (such as soccer fields and basketball courts). . The City should delve further into the needs of minority populations in the City, particularly because the City will continue to see more diversity in its population. . The City should look for opportunities to tie cultural programming to special events and cultural celebrations/ holidays in the community. . The City should consider incorporating other languages such as Spanish and Korean in its outreach materials and/or park signage. INCLUSIVE RECREA nON The City should do an assessment of its facilities and programs to assure that it is fully accommodating the needs of those residents with disabilities. COORDINA TlON WITH OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS . Since the City's focus with recreation programming has been on filling in the gaps in services others provide, Department staff should continue to partner and coordinate with other recreation service providers in the community to regularly assess how well community recreation needs are being met and to be responsive in addressing gaps and deficiencies in PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL 21, 2006 I 83 \=\ -I D~ -------.- --------- -- CHAPTER 5: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS service. This will ensure the City is providing programs which are complimentary to other recreation providers in the community and are not duplicating services. RECREA nON PROGRAMMING SPACE . Ensure there is adequate 'flexible' program space (classrooms/multipurpose rooms) to accommodate a range of programs. This allows the City to respond to trends and provide new classes and programs without the need to build new facilities. . There is a need for additional arts/visual media spaces that would support popular arts/visual media classes. These types of spaces are not addressed in the new Community Center. The best location for these facilities is at the Dumas Bay Centre. A facility master plan for the Centre would help to evaluate the potential for additional arts/visual media classrooms. ARTS AND CUL TURAL PLAN . Update the City's Arts and Culture Plan, in association with the Arts Commission, to address the arts and cultural programming in the City. This plan would also address residents' needs, and ways of bringing diverse communities together. 84 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN \~--lo\p - . '." ~ r.

Policy F.2: Integrate maintenance considerations in the planning and design of park facilities. Policy F.3: Consider converting to low-impact maintenance practices, phased over a several year period that may include the following: · Maximizing the use of native and naturalized plants and turf that are biologically appropriate for the region to avoid or minimize use of irrigation. fertilizers, and pesticides. · Controlling erosion and runoff using natural materials such as grass or hay bales. · Avoiding or minimizing the use of fertilizers and pesticides through the use of Integrated Pest Management practices, especially near water bodies. · Composting all organic wastes for use in parks and open space. · Designing and retrofitting irrigation systems to use only the minimum water needed, only where needed. · Where it is safe, retaining dead standing trees, fallen trees, logs, and vegetative litter, such as fallen branches, twigs, and leaves to preserve water and habitat. · Installing low-flow water devices where possible. · Developing a system to use rainwater and graywater for irrigation purposes where possible. · Minimizing impervious surface, integrating natural 90 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN f\- )\'L ---- CHAPTER 6: GOALS AND POLICIES drainage systems · Improve City staff capability to manage open space and public lands in the disciplines of natural resource management e.g. habitat and wildlife biologist, horticulturalist, etc. G. Coordination/Partnerships Goal G.1: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department continues to foster relationships and shared facilities and programming with other organizations and agencies that have an impact on or interest in the health and recreation of Federal Way residents. Policy G.1: Coordinate with other City departments such as Public Works, Transportation, and Community Development in areas that may affect parks, open spaces and trails, such as: · Development Review; · Acquisition of public lands; · Non-motorized transportation improvements. Policy G.2: Institute a program with the Federal Way Public Schools to soften and improve the appeal of District properties that are adjacent to public park facilities. Identify entry improvements such as signage, landscaping, and lighting that may allow such properties to read as part of the overall parks and recreation system. Policy G.3: Partner with other organizations, concerned with improving public health through active living, within the Federal Way community. H. Acquisition/Surplus of Properties Intent: Although the focus for this Plan is on upgrading and enhancing existing park and open space facilities, the City should be poised to respond should property acquisition opportunities arise. The following goals and policies provide direction on future park acquisition: PARKS COMMISSION REVIEW DRAFT APRIL21,2006 I 91 ~- / l3 ---------- CHAPTER 6: GOALS AND POLICIES Goal H.1: Be poised to act when land acquisition opportunities or major changes in the park system occur (e.g. annexation). Policy H.1: Focus on developing new parks in the areas that will experience population growth and increased density (such as the City Center) or where deficiencies currently exist. Policy H.2: Respond to opportunities to acquire ownership of lands Small public green spaces such as this which will make a unique or significant contribution to the City's overall one in Portland. OR add to the livability of park and open space system. denser urban areas. Policy H.3: Explore the potential to use other existing public lands to meet future park needs such as: · City's undeveloped open spaces · Other City owned properties · King County Surface Water Management · Lakehaven Utility District, and · Federal Way Public Schools properties. Policy H.4: Establish a transition plan for King County parks within the Potential Annexation Area to address these parks after annexation occurs. Policy H.5: Consider surplusing lands which are difficult and costly to maintain or do not significantly contribute to the overall parks and recreation system, or provide benefits to Federal Way residents. Any revenues derived from surplus should go towards the enhancement of existing parks and open spaces. Policy H.G: Make acquisition of Camp Kilworth a priority given its shoreline location, existing facilities, and potential as significant contribution to the overall park and open space system. Core Value #2: Create Community Gathering Places and Destinations Some of the City's parks such as Celebration Park and Steel Lake Park currently fulfill the role as community gathering places. Many 92 I CITY OF FEDERAL WAY PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN ~~ )}~ CHAPTER 6: GOALS AND POLICIES ~ more of the City's parks and open spaces may be enhanced to better serve this role by incorporating a certain baseline of characteristics such as having multi-use functions, being safe and comfortable for the public's use, and spaces that can accommodate a range of crowd sizes. Creating community gathering places is especially important as the City Center area develops. Furthermore, ensuring that the trail and non-motorized improvements connect popular destinations in the City will encourage increased use of these facilities. I. City Center/High Density Areas Intent: The City Center will dramatically transform over the next twenty years, As redevelopment occurs, there is an opportunity to activate the City Center through a network of public spaces such as green areas, informal plazas, and wide sidewalks. Goal 1.1 : Integrate a system of open spaces, plazas, and walkways throughout the City Center and other high density areas to make the area livable, host community events, and create community identity. Policy 1.1: Actively develop a plan for community gathering places in the City Center. Policy 1.2: Work with Community Development Services Department to develop development standards for the City Center and other higher density neighborhoods that result in spaces being set aside for parks and plazas.

'I ~, ~ ., '1'. ~ AI?~endix.:\"A: Park Inventoty & Assessment ~ ADELAIDE PARK Park Character & Context Adelaide is a mostly wooded neighborhood park located adjacent to Adelaide Elementary School. The park's main entrance is at the large, east end of the property, on 16th Avenue SW and a smaller entrance is on 21 sl Avenue SW. A paved trail links the two entries, passing through a narrow, wooded section between houses, then through a picnic area set in a grassy opening in the woods. The trail also forms a side loop that connects a horse arena, tennis court and play area near the east park entry. The majority of the site is level. Partial sidewalks are located along the eastern side of the park along 16th Ave SW. Park Issues · Moderate visibility into the park due to wooded condition. · The existing tennis court is underutilized due to low visibility and shady areas. · The horse arena in the rear of the site is underutilized and is no longer maintained for equestrian use. · The park could benefit from 'opening up' the site by selectively thinning the tree cover to let additional sunlight into the park near the play structure and site furnishings as well as along the 16th Ave SW frontage. Park Potential Adelaide Park serves a residential neighborhood in the north central part of the City. Park improvements, including picnic area, playground, and tennis court, and horse arena were added in 19XX, based on local neighborhood input. The underutilized horse arena should be evaluated to determine if this use should be maintained or evolve to another use. Other potential uses could include an off leash area for small dogs. Needs Near-Term · Park identity signs; add a new park sign at the 21 st St entrance · Provide additional trash receptacles · Invasive species management-blackberry, moles · Graffiti removal-picnic tables, bull rail · Repair trail surface · Evaluate use of horse arena / Consider redevelopment as off- leash dog area for small dogs or small agility course Long Term · Improve accessibility to play structure A-21 City of Federal Way Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan J\--13, - I ~ t.

The park is located immediately west and southwest of Silverlake Elementary School. The primary park entrance and facilities are located along the south side of SE 325th PI. This area contains play equipment and a large, informal lawn area. A series of wellanu::i are luc.;aleu within each of the three park areas. The three park areas are connected by an eight-foot, paved asphalt path. The path itself is situated in a wooded setting along the periphery of the park, and in some locations the path runs along the edge of the wetlands. The path connects to English Gardens Park to the south. There are multiple pedestrian access points to each of the three park areas from the surrounding single family residential subdivisions. Park Issues · The trail connecting each of the three park areas crosses SW 325th PI. An improved pedestrian crossing at this location would help to facilitate safe pedestrian movement. · No off-street parking; although parking is available at Silverlake Elementary School. · Multiple park entries, most do not have park identification signs. · Park is surrounded by single-family residential. Future park improvements must be sensitive to adjacent neighbors. Park Potential · Evaluate park for potential 'community gathering place' improvements. · Trail/sidewalk improvements to connect the trail system within this park to link to trails within English Gardens Park, Panther Lake Open Space and the SPA trail system. Needs Near Term · Park identity signs Long Term · Park specific improvements based on the park's unique potential based on public outreach process. · Connect Alderbrook Park trail to the trails within English Gardens Park, Panther Lake, and the SPA trail. · Enhanced pedestrian/trail wayfinding signage or park map/kiosk to orient park visitors to amenities and trails.

It is a well-designed small park with a playground, basketball and tennis courts, a short loop trail, and site furnishings that include picnic tables and benches. The site is fairly flat, with some short, steep slopes toward the back or north side of the site. There is an open lawn area in the middle of the park, with formal landscaping beds along the east and west edges of the park. A basketball and tennis court are located at the rear of the park. Vehicular and pedestrian access is from S 340th Place, a minor collector street. Park Issues · Lack of visibility to the basketball and tennis courts from the street. · Evidence of drainage and erosion problems near the basketball and tennis courts. · A rolled curb along the street allows vehicles to drive onto the lawn. Park Potential Alderdale is an appealing neighborhood park, in good condition. This parks has the potential to serve as a "neighborhood gathering place". This might be accomplished at first through some programming efforts, such as neighborhood picnics or events. The area residents could be involved to develop ideas for additional features which might strengthen its draw. Needs Near Term · Address drainage/erosion problems near tennis and basketball courts. · Graffiti removal · Invasive species management · Clarify property boundary and landscape maintenance responsibilities · Replace missing landscaping-this will screen fence which has repeated graffiti problems. · Repair or replace older benches and picnic tables · Working with local neighbors, identify potential neighborhood event in park. Long Term Needs · Neighborhood outreach process to identify potentials for neighborhood gathering place (if desired by neighborhood) · Improve ADA accessibility to play structure.

The paved trail measures 3.34 miles in length and connects Celebration Park to Madrona Park, and also connects with West Campus Trail. The BPA trail has a rolling topography and occasional views to Mt. Rainier. Park Issues · Extensive invasive species such as Scotch Broom and Blackberry. · Except where the trail intersects with major arterials, there is limited visibility into portions of the BPA right-of-way. · Safe pedestrian crossings where the trail crosses major arterials. Park Potential The BPA Trail right-of-way includes a large area, yet only the trail is currently usable recreation space. Additional uses that can help to activate the right-of-way should be explored in greater detail, such,as the siting for a potential dog park, BMX track, community gardens, etc. Given the high use of the trail, the BPA trail also has the opportunity to tap into community volunteer/stewardship to clean up and maintain the BPA right-of-way. Needs Near Term · Explore other uses for the right-of-way that can help to activate the space Long Term Needs · Phase V BPA Trail to extend trail to southern City limits in coordination with Pierce County park planning efforts.

CELEBRATION PARK Park Character & Context Celebration Park is the largest community park in the City. It includes regionally known sports facilities, natural areas with wetlands and an unpaved trail system. The new Community Center is under construction on the south 10 acres of the property, and will be completed in 2006 and open to the public in 2007. Residential uses are located north of the park, office parks to the south and west of the park, and commercial businesses to the east. The park is located in close proximity to local bus routes. Vehicular access to the park is available from a number of points along 9th Ave S, Park Rd, and 13th PI S near the intersection with S. 324th Street. Off-street parking is located along the street frontage. Good pedestrian access to the park is available from the surrounding residential neighborhood and adjacent office parks via sidewalks and the SPA Trail. The park is highly visible from Park Road/13th PI. S. Park Issues · Further expansion of developed areas is limited by the presence of an extensive wetlands system. Mitigation for impacts associated with the Community Center construction resulted in 3.5 acres of wooded areas being permanently maintained as a natural growth protection area. · Existing grass soccer fields have drainage related issues that limit year round play. Park Potential · As the premier park in the City's system, the objective for this park is to maintain the high level of amenity and general ~ upkeep on facilities to keep the park fresh and attractive to sports leagues and competitions, which come from all over the state to compete. Needs Near Term . Water fountains with potable water/water bottle filler . Fencing and asphalt drive for new maintenance building . Artificial turf for Soccer Fields 5 & 6 . Replace platings along Park Road disturbed by Community Center construction Long Term · Install electrical power around perimeter of fields · Resurface asphalt parking lot and pedestrian areas · Refresh soft trail surfaces · Exercise stations for stretching · Tree replacements · Artificial turf for softball/baseball infields (1 - 4) and soccer fields (7 & 8 goal mouths) · Concession stand improvements · Play feature for older kids A-121 City of Federal Way Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan Y.\-/Ll', ------- t - ~=~ ~ ~- - ..;~~.~ ---"'" ~ ~ppendix A: Park Inventory & Assessmen!] I 1€; ;:..

Neighborhood residents brought some concerns about safety and the condition of some of the facilities to the City and the park has received some repair and replacement efforts over the past couple of years. This included adding some low landscaping along the street, removing some overgrown shrubs and an old bike rack, and replacing play equipment and a water fountain. Views of the Cascade Mountains and the BPA transmission lines are visible from the street in front of the park. Coronado Park is located off of SW 348th Place. The park includes a play structure, basketball court, walking path/trail, an informal lawn area, and some site furnishings. The park is surrounded by single family residential to the east and west and undeveloped land immediately north and south of the park. Park Issues · Play structure is out of date · Some of the park is tucked away from view and may limit future development potential Park Potential · Potential for neighborhood gathering place · A long, narrow segment of lawn runs behind several houses, and serves as the connecting link to the southern entrance.

DASH POINT HIGHLANDS PARK Park Character & Context Dash Point Highlands is directly south of Dash Point State Park, which creates a heavily wooded backdrop to the park site. Southwest 324th Place serves as the only access to the site. The park's trail connects to Dash Point State Park trail system. The site is relatively level except for the retention pond, and a drainage swale along the street frontage. Residences abut the park on two sides, but because of the park's long street frontage it feels open and fairly comfortable. A small play structure and grassy field are the primary recreational features of the site. Small children are protected by a chain link fence on the street side of the playground. Park Issues · Sidewalks or paved surfaces are not present at the street or within the park. The drainage swale near the street creates a barrier for accessibility · Play structure is out of date · Park could benefit from street appeal improvements including new signage, landscaping, and removal of the chain link fence. Park Potential · Dash Point Highlands has good visibility from the street, but its location deep in the neighborhood, near the City's heavily wooded western limits, indicates that the park will continue to only serve the local residential neighborhood population. · This park's proximity to Dash Point State Park is its biggest asset and it could serve as a trailhead into the State Park's trail system for neighborhood residents. It could also be connected to an open space on SW 325th Way, via trails within the State Park, to create a loop trail. · The open nature of the park also lends itself to additional development of recreational facilities Needs Near Term · Upgrade Play Equipment and improve ADA accessibility · Replace/repair site furnishings · Identify potential recreation facilities for the park Long Term · Trailhead/ trail system into Dash Point State Park · "Street appeal" measures, such as landscaping, removal of chain link fence · Pedestrian bridge or other means to cross drainage swale · Alternative to rolled curb, or landscaping to limit vehicle access onto the grass · Forest management-trees overcrowded, no understory · Better definition of property boundaries/screening for adjacent residences A-161 City of Federal Way Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan A --)5) l,: "''..::~' ~ ~ ,:.;, ~ .~ ~ .~ Appe~dix A: P..a~k I Qv~Q!ory & Assessment J >'.- ~.....

The facility includes Dumas Bay Centre and the Knutsen Family Performing Arts Center, the primary location for the City's arts and theater recreation programs. Since 1993, the City of Federal Way has owned and operated Dumas Bay Centre, a full-service conference and retreat facility. Dumas Bay Centre can accommodate a wide variety of events including conferences; meetings and banquets; overnight retreats; weddings, receptions, and other special occasions; and performing arts events. Guests are able to experience the tranquility and natural beauty of Puget Sound overlooking the Olympic Mountains while being close to major metropolitan areas. The City recently completed improvements to the site, including improving site stormwater detention and installation of new landscaping/gardens. Surrounding land uses include single family residential, undeveloped land, and Lakehaven Utility District properties. The park is accessible from Dash Point Road. There are limited pedestrian facilities. Park Issues The building and site at Dumas Bay Centre are facing multiple challenges. The building was constructed in the 1950s and has serious problems with plumbing, roof, windows, and other systems. The guest rooms do not have full bathrooms, and thus do not meet current expectations for overnight accommodations. The north side of the site is lined with steep bluffs, which have been compromised by erosion and slope failures. A stairway leading down to the small, sandy beach was closed in February 2006 due to slope failure caused by heavy winter rains. Park Potential · One of the key community destinations for recreation programming and cultural events. · Dumas Bay Centre plays a unique role in the City. It is located directly on Puget Sound waterfront and offers a beautiful setting for events. The Centre is operated as an enterprise fund, and is therefore responsible for financially supporting itself. The building includes guest rooms, four meeting rooms, a theatre, rehearsal hall, and offices. The basement is used for children's dance and gymnastics classes. · Provides one of the few public access points to Puget Sound. Needs Near Term · Slope improvements/stabilization Long Term · Improve ADA accessibility. · Facility Master Plan to address building restoration and site improvements.

It is the only site with direct trail access to the waterfront at this time. Facilities at the site include a small parking area, limited interpretive signs, benches in the woods, and a paved asphalt path to the shoreline. The park is the location of a former wildlife sanctuary, designated in ---.2L. The site contains a high degree of ecological diversity, with forested ravine, 200 feet of sandy beach, a wetland with bulrush covering half the site, cattails, beach pea and beach grass. Low-density residential surrounds the park. Vehicle access is from 44th Avenue S, a local, dead-end street with very low traffic volumes. Pedestrian access is very limited. Park Issues · Main access is through a single family residential area. · The park is difficult to find due to a its lack of visible directional signage on Dash Point Road, and secluded, wooded location. · Local resident have voiced complaints regarding garbage and noise levels associated with loitering in the parking lot. · Dogs off-leash on the beach has become a problem, as this is inappropriate for a wildlife sanctuary Park Potential · The site was formerly known for the presence of a heron rookery. It is currently used by owls and migrating songbirds. Other animal species could be attracted to and supported by the park. · Interpretive opportunities could be enhanced. · The sandy beach access is unique (other City shoreline parks consist of high, steep bluffs) and provides for a potential kayak! canoe access Needs Near Term · Remove invasive species (ivy, blackberry, knotweed, cattails) and increase plant diversity · Add signage: "No dogs off-leash" · Mow once per year, after July 15, to keep blackberries down, maintain open quality and sunlight, and discourage undesirable activities Long Term · Open forest by removing some vegetation and cedars.

The park contains a mix of wooded areas, grassy clearings, and ponds. French Lake Park is the site of the City's temporary off-leash dog park. Since conversion to the off-leash area, the park is becoming increasingly popular in the City, especially as increased awareness of its presence in the community grows. The park is located on 1 st Avenue South and is surrounded by single family to the north and west, multi-family residential to the east, and a fire station to the south. Vehicular access and parking is located off of 1 st Avenue South. Park Issues · Muddy conditions due to Lakehaven Utility District daily operations (spraying water onto the open areas). Muddy conditions are particularly bad near the ponds and near the entrance to the park. · The park is not readily identifiable from the street. Park visibility from 1 st Avenue South is limited. An outdated park identity sign is obscured from the road. · There is no buffer between the single family residences immediately north of the park. A chain link fence currently separates residences from park activities. · There is no direct pedestrian access from 1 st Avenue S. Pedestrians must access the park through the parking lot. · The dog park was created on a trial-basis. It will be evaluated in August 2006. · Lakehaven Utility District may purchase the City's half of the site, and expand their operations. Park Potential · This park is already functioning as a community destination/gathering place due to the new off-leash dog park use. Dog park users have formed volunteer work crews to help maintain the park. · The park has adequate off-street parking for the dog park use. · Additional site furnishings and amenities could be provided to address increased park use such as additional trash cans distributed throughout the park, benches, and picnic tables. · After the dog park trial is over, evaluate the effectiveness of French Lake for that use.

LAKE KILLARNEY PARK Park Character & Context Lake Killarney Park is located east of 1-5, just south of Weyerhaeuser's Headquarters. The park is also located in a corner of City limits surrounded by unincorporated King County. The park has a quiet, natural setting, located on the shore of Lake Killarney. With the exception of a small clearing, the park is wooded and contains native woodland species. Single family residential is located to the east, west, and south and offices are located to the north of the park. Vehicular and pedestrian access to the park is located at the parking e"ntrance. There are no sidewalks adjacent to the park; the nearest sidewalks are located along Weyerhaeuser Way north of the park entrance. Park Issues · There are limited improvements at the park. · The park has low visibility from the street and neighboring area due to the wooded conditions, the park's location below street grade, and the park's entrance at a bend in the road where Weyerhaeuser turns into S 349th St. Low visibility into the park has contributed to issues with dumping, vandalism and other illegal activities. · The parking lot is currently closed to the public due to excessive problems with dumping and illegal activity.

The park is bordered to the north by Dash Point Road and to the west by 21 st Ave. SW. Main access to the park is at SW 316th St. and Dash Point Road. The park consists of two distinct'areas: the north part of the park is relatively flat and open, with steep slopes at the east end of the site, and is managed by the Parks Department. The south part of the site is primarily wetland and wetland buffer and was acquired by the City's Surface Water Utility in 2004. The north part of the site is primarily oriented towards active recreation uses. Pedestrian access is primarily from the school and the parking lot northwest of the athletic fields. There are no sidewalks along the street frontage or paths within the park itself. Residential properties border the site to the south and southwest. The Fire District training center is adjacent to the northeast. Park Issues · The natural grass fields currently have poor drainage and turf problems. Play is limited each year due to soggy conditions. · Although the park has excellent site visibility, it currently lacks a strong park identity due to its location adjacent to Lakota Middle School and low level of development. · Lack of safe pedestrian access and circulation · Insufficient parking during events. Overflow parking is located at the middle school and at the Wayside Church across the street (which creates dangerous crossings for pedestrians). The City recently completed a facilities master plan for the site, which identifies specific improvements to the fields, including addressing the drainage issues, updating fields to regulation size and upgrading to artificial turf. Park Potential As one of the five community parks with an active recreation emphasis, the park's utilization by other participants will increase significantly once the recommended improvements are implemented. The addition of passive recreation uses at the park will help to broaden its multiple functions. Needs Near term · Strategy for requests from cell phone and other telecommunications providers.

The park and Phrase IV of the BPA trail follow the BPA transmission lines. The BPA Trail terminates within the park. The center of the site is largely wetland and associated buffer and is heavily vegetated with wetland plant species. The developed portions of the park include a play structure, BPA trail extension, and site furnishings. Vehicular access to the park is available from 15th Ave. SW between SW 356th St and SW 362nd St. Pedestrian access is available along SW 356th St and 15th Ave SW. A pedestrian crossing at SW 356th StlBPA Trail, including a refuge island, was installed during the BPA Trail extension (Phase IV). Adjacent land uses surrounding the park are primarily single family residential. The northern edge of the park is visible from SW 356th St., a principal arterial. Park Issues · As a new park, Madrona Park has low level use at present. There are no park identity signs at park entrances. Landscaping along SW 356th St. has helped to increase its character as a park. Long term use of the park will continue to grow as residents use the BPA Trail · Wetlands and utilities on the site limit future development of the park. · Any development must be coordinated with BPA, public utilities (power) and Tacoma (water pipeline #5). Park Potential The BPA Trail terminates at this park. Future extension of the trail (BPA Trail Phase V) has the potential to connect to Pierce County. The County has long range plans for a trail connection, making it a regional trail system. Madrona Meadows, a city-owned open space, is also adjacent to the park on the north side of S 356th St. Needs Near-term · Park identity signs · Additional landscaping along street frontages and at park entries · Picnic tables with concrete pads Long Term · Extend BPA trail to southern City limits once Pierce County makes progress on trail development to link the two trail systems into a larger regional system. · Manage invasive species (blackberry).

This park has a high level of use for organized sports and athletic events. Sacajawea Middle School is located immediately west of the park. Residential and commercial uses surround the park. Dash Point Road borders the park to the north and 116th Ave S to the east. The primary vehicular access to the park is off Dash Point Road. Pedestrian access is hazardous due to heavy traffic and a lack of adequate sidewalks. A signalized pedestrian crossing is located at 11 th Place S. There is a large parking area that is shared with the middle school. The site is laid out on multiple terraces with steep slopes situated between, and a grade change of 64 feet rising from north to south. The north portion of the site consists of athletic facilities and the south end is oriented toward more passive activities. The passive recreation area is isolated from the rest of the park and is obscured from public view. Park Issues · Graffiti/Vandalism, particularly on restroom buildings · Park Identity. The park appears to be a part of the middle school and not a City park facility. · Site visibility into the park is obscured by a heavily wooded boundary. In addition, site visibility is poor into the south end of the park. School staff have requested that this area have improved visibility. · Drainage issues associated with topographic changes. · The facilities are dated and need to be upgraded. · Undersized athletic fields, in part due to the size of existing terraces on site and steep slopes. · Artificial turf soccer field is experiencing problems due to heavy use, drainage issues and tracking of_ from adjacent track.

SAGHALIE PARK Park Character & Context Saghalie Park is one of the five active recreation parks in the City. It is located immediately adjacent to and shares athletic facilities with Saghalie Middle School. The park sits on a high point above SW Campus Drive. The park has a sense of enclosure due to topographic changes and the surrounding tree cover and its location behind a school. Off-street parking is available behind the middle school. Three pedestrian entry points are located along SW Campus Drive. Land uses immediately surrounding the park includes Saghalie Middle School, retail areas, and a concentration of multi-family residential. Park Issues In general, the park is in good condition; only minor improvements and enhancements are needed to increase usability and attractiveness. Current park issues include: · Vandalism. The park has a history of high levels of vandalism and graffiti. This can be attributed, in part, to the low visibility into the park from street and adjacent properties. · Recreation Fields. Some of the ball fields on site have a tendency to flood during winter months. Converting natural grass areas to artificial turf will correct these deficiencies. · Visibility. Improve visibility of park from the street, including pedestrian access points along SW Campus Drive. · Demand for cell tower access Park Potential As one of the community parks, the recreational fields at this park are heavily used. By upgrading the fields to address deficiencies, the city can increase the number of games that can be played year-round. Needs Near term · Develop a facility improvement plan for Saghalie which identifies specific facilities improvements for the active recreation fields; · Update park identity sign at park entry; · Include 1-2 directional signs along SW Campus Dr.; · Improve sightlines and visibility into park along SW Campus Dr. Long- Term · Improve trail surface conditions and enhance trail connections; · Improved landscaping and street frontage treatments to create a more defined park entry, including park identity signs. · Replace surface material under playground equipment.

It is divided into two parts by S 312th Street. The northern portion of the site is oriented toward passive recreation activities, with Steel Lake being the dominant feature. This site contains a beach, swimming area, fishing pier, multiple picnic areas with one picnic shelter, a restroom/concession building, boat launch, basketball court, sand volleyball courts, and a large meadow with many large trees of varied species. The portion south of S. 312th Street (often referred to as "Steel Lake Annex") functions as the active recreation area and contains two lighted softball fields, an artificial turf soccer field, a skatepark, concession/ restroom building, small playground for preschool age children, maintenance barn and an older brick house that is currently used for preschool classes. The City's maintenance shop is located just east of Steel Lake Park. The park is located at the intersection of two minor arterial streets, S 312th Street and 28th Avenue S. Access to both the north and south portions of the park is from S 312th Street. There is no curb or sidewalk along the perimeter of Steel Lake Park, although there is a wide shoulder in some locations. Park Issues · Parking and traffic are major issues during the busy summer weekends. · There is significant unmet demand for picnic facilities. · Vandalism, graffiti and theft are problems, particularly at the Annex. Park Potential There is continual high demand for picnic facilities, particularly for the single picnic shelter. Well-designed picnic areas and shelters are needed here or in other community parks. The large variety of species of trees on the site lend the possibility of developing the park as an informal arboretum. Because of the complexity of the site and the many uses and demands on it, a master planning process is recommended to guide future redevelopment.

SW 312TH SPORTS COURTS Park Character & Context This site consists entirely of three paved sports courts, including one basketball court, one tennis court and one pickleball court, placed end to end. The two larger courts are enclosed with high fencing, and one gate serves both courts. The pickleball court has fencing only at the ends of the court, The courts are depressed into the site by about 3 feet. A vegetative screen north of the courts provides a buffer between the sports activities and the adjacent homes. However, homes on each end of the courts have direct views of the courts. There is good vehicular access from SW 312th Street, a minor arterial. There are no sidewalks in this neighborhood or on the site, Park Issues · Since the park is not signed well, and does not have parking, it is not immediately evident that this is a public property, · The courts are in good condition, however the rest of the site is inadequately developed. · There is no formalized parking on the site, and visitors park on random gravel pads along the edge of the street. · Drainage and erosion problems are evident. · There is no seating and very limited pedestrian circulation on the site, Park Potential SW 312th Sports Courts is a 'special use' neighborhood park because it offers an important and unique resource to the community. The courts might receive more use with needed improvements such as seating areas, parking and sidewalks. This must be balanced with their close proximity to residents, who are sometimes affected by noise from the courts. Needs Near Term · Benches · Park sign · Plantings to screen residences Long Term · Paved parking · Pedestrian walkways · Address drainage and erosion problems, possibly with concrete block wall around edge of courts that can double as seating.

Athietic-Fa~~e:..NeedsAss~.:sme~~ - - -~ ......---- ;a; __ _ Athletic Facility Needs Assessment In addition to the needs for the different park classifications, an analysis of athletic facilities was also prepared to understand current deficiencies and future needs. The analysis of athletic facilities is based on anecdotal feedback from the public outreach process, recreation staff observations, and level of service calculations. The level of service standards recommended in this Plan Update for athletic facilities is based on the 2000 Comprehensive Park, Recreation, and Open Space Plan. Table B-1 depicts the level of service calculations for baseball/ softball, soccer, football, basketball, tennis, and swimming pools. Table B-1 shows both the National Recreation and Parks Association standards as well as the standards adopted as a part of the 2000 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan. Below is the discussion for each athletic facility type. BASEBALL There is a deficiency in regulation-sized fields to serve the teen and adult population. A shortage of regulation sized fields with 90' bases, and lit fields was identified in the public outreach process as an important issue for athletics in the City. Currently, there are 21 adult-sized fields within the City boundaries, and 5 more in the PAA. The City is currently meeting a 1 field per 5,000 persons level of service. By 2012, if no additional facilities are building, the City will easily fulfill the desired level of service of 1 field per 7,000 persons. There are 62 Youth fields in the City and none in the PAA. These fields meet the City's level of service standard of 1 field per 7,000 persons, when calculating for both the current City boundaries, and the PAA. No additional fields will be needed to fulfill a 2012 standard of 1 field per 7,000 persons. SOCCER The quantity of soccer fields in the Federal Way community (both public and private) currently meets demand, however, their condition may preclude full utilization. For example, some of the soccer fields are on grass fields with poor drainage or are not lit, which limits year round play. Adult soccer is popular in the community and continues to grow in popularity. In addition, there is a need for unprogrammed soccer fields based on current use patterns. For example, there is a growing demand for soccer that may be, in part, related to the increasing diversity in the community. This increased demand for unprogrammed soccer facilities April 17, 2006 IB-3 y\-2-:2-~ -------------- ~' -----. ~1 ~\. --:-- aP'- - ~ .~ for: -::;: --- ~ ... ~ :~~ ... _J ~eQendjx A: Atli~c ~~cilitie~~N~e9~ _As~~ssment ~ v- ..... _v_ "'"-' Table B-1: Athletic Facilities LOS Analysis .- ..... .-.-" <Additional ' Current projected, Current NRPA Service Currently facilities Facility Typec Facility Standard levels (# of meeting City Standard needed .", Inventory facilities per standard? by 2012 to '~, ~ , population) meetlOS " ,.;.~ ~dult Baseball/ 1/5,000 1/4,129 1/7,000 population 0 iSoftbal1 Fields 21 population yes (City Only) ICitY + PAA 26 1/5,000 1/4,151 yes 1/7,000 population 0 population Youth Baseball/ 1/5,000 Softball Fields 62 1/1,398 yes 1/7,000 population 0 ,(City Only) population iCilY + P AA --- f------- --- 62 1/5,000 1/1,741 yes 1/7,000 population 0 population f--- ISoccer Fields 35 1/10,000 1/2,477 yes 1/2,300 population 5 tCity Only) population _O__._n ---- City + PAA 37 1/10,000 1/2,917 yes 1/2,300 population 13 [FOOlball F;elds population .----. -- 8 1/20,000 1/10,838 yes 1/10,000 population 1 I(City Only) population .- -- I 1/20,000 :City + P AA 8 1/13,490 yes 1/10,000 population 3 I population -- ---- .---- - ITennis Courts 25 1/2,000 1/3,468 no 1/2,500 population 12 I(City Only) population -t-------- ------ 'city + PAA 27 1/2,000 1/3,211 no 1/2,500 population 19 Is' .

There are currently 35 soccer fields within the City, and 37 when including the PAA. These facilities currently meet the 1 field per 10,000 persons level of service. However, if the desired higher standard of 1 field per 2,300 people is to be met by 2012,5 more fields will be needed for the current city boundaries, or 13 more to accommodate the P AA. BASKETBALL There is anecdotal demand for additional basketball courts, especially for informal play/'pick up' ball. Similar to soccer field use, groups within the community use the basketball courts at parks and schools regularly, even though they are not associated with a basketball league. There are a total of 7 basketball courts in the City. The City does not currently have a level of service standard for basketball. GYMNASIUM There is currently a perceived shortage of gymnasiums in the City, although the quantity of gymnasiums has not been documented since the 2000 plan: According to the 2000 Plan, there area total of 28 gyms in the City. NOTE: IS THIS INFORMATION AVAILABLE? IT IS UNCLEAR WHICH FACILITIES AND SCHOOLS ARE INCLUDED IN THE 2000 PLAN ). Most of the gyms in the City are located in the local schools. Other recreation providers in the City who offer athletics programs (such as the Boys & Girls Club) all vie for the same gymnasium space. Many of the schools offer Boys & Girls Club sponsored athletic programs. The schools also have their own athletic programs that need to use these gymnasiums. As a result, City programs planned in school gymnasiums often get 'bumped' for things like school bands, plays, etc. This requires close coordination between City recreation and school district staff to schedule use of the gyms. The City will oftentimes use multipurpose rooms or cafeteria space for its programs due to a lack of gym availability. The new community center will address some of this gymnasium demand, with the addition of 3 new gyms in that facility. TENNIS Although the level of service analysis indicates that there is a shortage of tennis courts in the community, public outreach and national trends indicate a declining interest in tennis. The City has several tennis courts that are not fully utilized. The NRPA service standard of 1 court per 2,000 persons is not currently being met by the 25 courts within the City, and 27 courts when including the PAA. A lower standard of l'A~2-L~ April 17, 2006 IB-5 ~~endiXA: ~t15@!i<2ia~ilitie~~N~eds Asse~sme'nt :E . 0; M .J: _ _ M J M_ ~ 1 facility per 2,500 persons can be met by 2012 if 12 more facilities are built within City boundaries, or 19 if including the PAA. However, given current public use, this does not appear to be a priority for the City. FOOTBALL There are currently 8 football fields within the City boundaries, and none in the PAA. This includes football fields at the local schools. These fields fulfill the current standard of 1 field per 20,000 persons. A desired service standard of 1 field per 10,000 persons can be achieved by 2012 with the construction of one field with the current city boundaries, or three fields with the inclusion of the PAA. SWIMMING POOLS The City maintains and operates one swimming pool at the Kenneth Jones Pool, a 6 lane, 25-yard 'T' pool. The Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center offers 3 pools - a 50 meter pool, a 25 meter pool, and a diving tank. The new community center, which will open to the public in 2007, will include both a six lane lap pool and a zero depth entry leisure pool. The City's current level of service standard is based upon a surface area calculation and not on the number of pools/population.

ORDINANCE # REVISED - 02/06/2006 RESOLUTION # ['=3 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY MEMORANDUM DATE: May I, 2006 TO: Parks, Recreation and Public Safety Committee FROM: Patricia A, Richardson, City Attomey ~k<K- Jenni Snell, City Staff Attomey SUBJECT: Staff Report Dangerous Dogs Ordinance Council requested comparison inforn1ation of the Federal Way City Code ("FWCC") and those of other jurisdictions regulating dangerous and potentially dangerous dogs to detern1ine whether the City should consider modifying FWCC Chapter IV, Article IV to be more restrictive, Please the attached current FWCC language, To produce the requested information, the following codes were reviewed: Auburn, Bellevue, Brier, Enumclaw, Kent, Kirkland, Lakewood, Mountlake Terrace, Renton, Sea Tac, Seattle, Tacoma, Tukwila, Yakima and King County, The attached tables for comparison between the FWCC and those of other jurisdictions begin with State law in the left hand column. It is intended that the State law indicate the basic regulations, and the notations under other jurisdictions depict additions to State law or more restrictive provisions. State law expressly authorizes the City to completely prohibit dangerous dogs within the City limits, to place additional restrictions on the owners of dangerous dogs, and to charge an additional registration fee for dangerous dogs. Additionally, although the City has no jurisdiction over felony crimes it is noted that State law sets forth felony criminal penalties for (1) Owners with a prior conviction of dangerous dog violation, or (2) Owners of any dog that "aggressively attacks and causes severe injury or death of any , human". State law and case law require notification, opportunity for a hearing and an appellate process for owners before the authority designates a dog as dangerous. If the local jurisdiction has not established a process, State law mandates the process, the criteria, and the appeal to the municipal court or district court in the absence of a municipal court, The FWCC does not specify a hearing process or an appellate process in the designation of dangerous dogs. Instead FWCC 4-4 I authorizes animal control to enforce the provisions regarding dogs, and the contract with King County Animal Control specifies E-q I that the City relies on the County's in-house procedures which follow state statute, It has come to our attention that the County's in-house process may not be sufficient in a 2006 case where Kirkland relied upon the County's procedures and the court found that the owner's due process rights were violated when the County designated the dog as vicious, Consequently, Staff recommends that FWCC Chapter 4, Article IV be amended to expressly set forth the notice, hearing and appellate process for the designation of dangerous dog, Additionally several provisions in Chapter 4 establish the due process procedure when the owner violates the restrictions for dangerous dogs. FWCC 4-59 sets forth the criteria and procedure for animal control to notify the owner of alleged violations, and Division 3, FWCC 4- 71 through 4-76, set forth the appellate process before King County Board of Appeals. Depending upon Council's direction, Staff recommends clarifying the process by cross referencing the applicable sections.

Options Considered: N/A The City of Federal Way currently has five interlocal agreements with municipal and county jurisdictions for jail services (Auburn, Enumclaw, Fife, King Co" and Yakima Co,) to house misdemeanor inmates. The City of Federal Way has had an interlocal agreement with the City of Fifc since 200 I, In latc 2005 both cities began to negotiate the current terms of the interlocal agreemcnt. The Fife City Jail is a facility able to incarcerate approximately thirty (30) male misdemeanor inmates at any given time, The Fife .I ai I's geographic location reduces the amount of time patrol officers are outside of the city booking arrestees, The agreement requires that a minimum often (10) beds be allocated daily for the use of Federal Way inmates. In recent years our daily population at Fife is generally over ten inmates per day. By renewing the interlocal agreement the City will continue to have both a cost effective and close location to incarcerate misdemeanor inmates, The contract also allows us the Oexibility to continue to utilize the Fife City .Jail as a transport hub for inmates needing transportation services to Yakima County. Additionally the Fife City Jail will be responsible for providing security of Federal Way inmates if they are in need of outside medical care. Fife's daily rate will increase from $63 to $G6 per day / per inmate with no booking fee for the 200G calendar year; and to $67'per day / per inmate effective January 1,2007, The 2006 daily rate is retroactive to January I, 2006, costing the city approximately $3837. The increase in daily rates is reasonable based on the normal market adjustments made by our other contract jails, G-) ------- The tentative 2006 / 07 daily rates and booking fees are as follows: J ail Facility Daily Rate Booking Fee 2006 2007 2006 2007 Fifc $66.00 $67.00 $0.00 $0,00 Auburn $59.04 $59.04 $0,00 $0.00 Enumclaw $50,00 $50,00 $0.00 $0,00 King County $97.59 $103.27 $186.42 $197.23 Yakima County $68.07 $71.47 $0.00 $0,00 Okanogan County $42,00 $0,00 $0,00 $0.00 There is a benefit financially and operationally for the city to renew the jail service contract with the CityofFife, ...... .........- ...................-...... ..................,............................-.......... -.. ...-..........~ . .....................- -..............................................................................................-... ..... . ..... .............. ...........-..........-....... ..... .. .........-._..~ ....... ....................-............-.......-..-.....- ..............-.....-.......-....-...--....-.- STAFF RECOi\Ii\IENDATlON: Staff l'ccommclHls Council agrcc to thc lntcrlocal Agl'ccmcnt bctwccn thc City of Fifc and thc City of Fcdcral Way for the Housing of Inmates in the Fife City Jail, and authorize the City Manager to executc the Agree 'nt.

Richardson, City Attorney ~~ Jennifer Snell, City Staff Attorney VIA: Derek M athesan, Interim Cit y Manage~ SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance to Add Crimes for Domestic Violence in the Presence of Children and for Domestic Violence with Use of Strangulation. BACKGROUND Domestic violence is pervasive and the impacts of domestic violence touch more than just the physical victims. The National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information notes that even when children are not the direct targets of domestic violence, they are harmed by witnessing the violence-including auditory, visual, and observation of the aftermath of domestic violence. Research shows that children who witness domestic violence often suffer severe emotional and developmental difficulties similar to children who are the direct victims of abuse. The City of Federal Way has partnered with the South King County Community Network on a project studying the adverse effect on children that witness or are victims of domestic violence in Federal Way. Statistics show that in 2004, children were present during 232 charges of domestic violence. According to the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence, strangulation has been identified as one of the most lethal forn1s of domestic violence. Strangulation is used by perpetrators as a method of power and control to silence their victims. The effects of strangulation are potentially fatal and have devastating psychological effects on the victim. Ten out of 100 violent deaths occur in the United States are due to strangulation, with six female victims to every male. The proposed ordinance also reorganizes the current Federal Way City Code adoption of the Washington State domestic violence statutes for clarity.
