STAFF REPORTS
Community Center Support Drive/Update — Joel Howitt reported on the fundraising campaign. The committee is in
the second phase, targeting previous donors — individuals, groups and corporations. The next event, an after -hours
business reception, is scheduled for April 20 from 5 -7 p.m. at Woodstone Credit Union. The committee is working
on different strategies to draw the general public. One idea is for a summer barbeque /concert event. Howitt invited
all to the next meeting of the conunittee on February 16 at 6:30 p.m. in the Dash Point Room. (- The meetings are -
held the 3 Thursday of every month.)
Community Center Construction Update — Parks Planner B. Sanders distributed updated photos of the construction
site. She said the rain is beginning to have some impact on the site — there are moisture sensitive soils on site and
the native soil is starting to get wet so additional backfill will be brought in.
Park Plan Update, AHBL Scope of Work and Opinion Survey — Parks Planner B. Sanders distributed a revised
schedule for the Parks Plan showing project initiation, data collection/analysis, vision/plan priorities, public process,
preliminary draft and finalization. The scope of work was already distributed to the commissioners for review prior

85% Design: Ellardwalk Replacement •
West Hylebos Wetlands Park
Background:
Anchor Environmental was hired to perform an assessment of the existing
boardwalk in 2004. The boardwalk was approximately 12 years old at the time.
They found that although the boardwalk decking is in fairly good condition, the
foundation is in poor condition, with sections estimated to have a remaining life of
two to five years. Much of the foundation consists of railroad ties, treated with
creosote, and these are directly in contact with water. Because of uneven
settling of the underlying peat soils and the rotting wood foundations, the surface
of the boardwalk has abrupt changes in elevation that create a safety concern.
These changes, coupled with some acute angle turns, mean that this boardwalk
is not accessible to wheelchair users or others with mobility issues.
Project Scope:
The City asked Anchor Environmental to design a new boardwalk that would
have a longer life than the existing one with wood foundation. Anchor, working
with KPFF Engineers, has developed a system with two different foundation
types, suitable for different areas in the wetland.
The project has also been designed using different size and shaped "modules"
that can be built offsite, then combined as needed to suit the terrain and
directional changes. The construction methods being proposed will have all
demolition and construction work being done from the existing boardwalk, using
almost the same alignment. This will minimize any environmental impacts and
disruption of vegetation will be minimal.
The material proposed for the decking surface is Trex decking, a wood and
recycled plastic composite lumber product. This has a longer life expectancy
than wood, and is more slip- resistant.
Cost:
The cost to replace the entire boardwalk (approximately 3 /4 mile) is almost $1.3
million. The high cost can be attributed to several factors: the demolition and
disposal of the existing boardwalk and foundation, the specialized construction
techniques needed to work in the wetland, the unique foundation systems that do
not use wood, and the composite decking material.
Funding in place at this time includes:
$250,000 —State appropriation /grant
$253,000 - - -1AC
$ 72,000 —U.S. appropriation /grant
We also will have City funds available from the Real Estate Excise Tax. This
money is accumulating until we need it.
Schedule:
Construction is planned for summer 2007, assuming sufficient funding is in place.
