COMMISSION BUSINESS
2008 Work Plan — Commissioners and staff reviewed the 2008 Work Plan, subject by subject.
Policy review was discussed because there are events requesting facility and/or park use where there are no policies
in tact. One of the most recent is a "beer garden" which alcohol use is per Director discretion through application
process per the City ordinance.
Impact Fee Update- Sanders will address this in February when the consultant is available. Request for Proposal
was advertised with four respondents.
Trail & Pedestrian access improvements — Sanders said this would be addressed in January with a consultant in
public meeting.
Downtown Public Space — Ikerd reported that with the Symphony project kicking off downtown, it will remain on
the commission work plan through development.
Dumas Bay Site Restoration Phase II — Sanders reported that the project was begun then put on hold with issues that
arose. Sale of the Dumas Bay Center to help pay for a performing arts center has been discussed as well. The
restoration project will remain on hold until some of these issues are resolved.
2008 Volunteer Events — Ikerd reported that this is an on -going project and will remain on the commission Work
Plan.
Annual Playground equipment replacement — Sanders reported that through the budget funding, two medium
playground projects can be done yearly.
Camp Kilworth — Sanders didn't have any new information to report and staff is still waiting court decisions to
proceed.
2009 -2010 — CIP /Budget - Ikerd said as we go in to the next budget cycle, discussions will come up for .discussion
and action. Budget goes to the City Council in the late spring.
City Video "Connections" — Commissioners stated they would watch the video on their own time rather than taking
meeting time to view.
STAFF REPORTS
Federal Way Community Center Marketing Plan Update — Faber reviewed the marketing outreach plan for the
Community Center. She distributed a list of what has been done to date, an on -going schedule and what is projected
for the future. Room rentals are doing well with some long term reservations for the entire year. Gym rentals are
low because of the fee — people can go elsewhere and get the same benefit for less monies.
