PUBLIC FORUM
Sally and Harrel Hurst — from the Parks Pals group and wanting to hear update on French Lake Park since they were
out of town for the last meeting.
Joann Piquette — representing the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee who are sponsoring the Buds and Blooms event
this year on May 9 -10, 2009. She was requesting volunteers from the commission and explained many of the
volunteer opportunities available. She distributed the "Save a Date" postcards. She also announced that the
Weyerhaeuser Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection was closing and would not be a part of the tour this year. Volunteers
can also contact Lillian Yeh at the City of Federal Way for volunteer opportunites.
COMMISSION BUSINESS
Work Plan — Ikerd distributed an updated 2009 Work Plan. Budget issues have deemed it necessary to re -visit some
of the projects because of carry- forward money allocation. Ikerd forecast possible change in the Lakota and 2010-
2012 CIP projects.
STAFF REPORTS
Celebration Park Building Update — Ikerd reported that the building is at 60% completion. There has been one
delay by the contractor ordering lesser gauge siding panels which were delivered to park site. Building is at a
standstill awaiting shipment of the correct gauge siding which should arrive within one week. The roof materials
were the proper gauge and are installed. Once the siding arrives, it will take an additional 4 -5 days for contractor to
complete their portion. Overhead doors are on order.
French Lake Park — Progress Report — Ikerd reported that the public meeting went well. A 20' buffer and additional
pet stations will be installed. Formal monitoring and logging pond activity for one year will be done to see if it is
cost efficient to operate and maintain without health hazards. Staff has met with Lakehaven and have an agreement
for a gate on the NW corner of park. Arbor chips will be placed in buffer area with planting done on April 18,
2009/Earth Day. Bidding on plants for the area is being done at this time as well. A security company has been
hired to lock French Lake Park gate at closing and are trained to walk the park to notify persons still inside.
Park Playground Update — Ikerd distributed a graph on City playgrounds showing location, year installed/upgraded,
manufacturer, age group, key features and current condition. Diaz asked how the condition criteria was determined
with Ikerd responding that staff trained through the National Playground Safety Inspection process did assessment.
Clinton "Tony" Collins, NPSI Inspector, provided the majority of the information since he does monthly
inspections. Commissioners requested another column be added to show how much use at each site. Chair Konkell
suggested a parks tour between June and September for the commission.

NEW BUSINESS
Celebration Park 10 -Year Anniversary Sub - Committee Report — The subcommittee met and recommended Friday,
May 29, 2009 for a small reception/open house on -site in late afternoon. Invitations would be sent to council
members, commissioners and staff involved since the inception of Celebration Park, as well as contributors.
Discussion involved a photo collage, possible refreshments, plaque commemorating 10 -year anniversary, tree
planting, etc. The thought is to commemorate Celebration Park throughout the entire year to include the Red, White
and Blue Festival. One thought was to estimate how much use the park has gotten in ten years — how many
tournaments played (soccer & baseball), estimated attendance at Red, White and Blue Festivals in ten years, etc.
Subcommittee: Brian Ailinger, Julio Diaz and Jack Sharlock.
Sciacqua reported the Historical Society will be vacating the Fisher Pond house and moving to the Steel Lake Annex
building soon. Ikerd said staff will contact the Fire and Police Departments then demolish with budgeted funds.
Chair Konkell reminded commissioners that if you are unable to attend the monthly commission meeting, please
notify him and Administrative Assistant Peggy Wright of your absence.
Chair Konkell also inquired on the status of the vacant PRCS Director and Parks Planner positions and if and when
they were going to be advertised. Ikerd reported that the positions will open this weekend and close on March 20,
2009.
Chair Konkell will attend the PRHSPS Council Committee meeting on March 10, 2009.
