City of Federal Way
Parks and Recreation Council Committee
Date: October 23, 1995
From: Jenny Schroder
Director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services
Subject: 1995 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan - Revisions and Chances
Back
The Parks and Planning Commissions have completed their review process of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Plan. The Parks Commission approved the Parks Plan at the August 3 meeting and the Planning Commission approved
the Parks Plan at the September 27 meeting. Both Commissions recommended the Parks Plan be forwarded to full
Council for final approval.
Volume I of the City Wide Comprehensive Plan and the Surface Water Management Plan of Volume II, are currently
being reviewed by the Land Use/Transportation Committee.
The Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan is being reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Committee.
The plan recommends a standard of 10.9 acres per 1,000 population of city owned parks and facilities within the city
limits. The plan recommends a goal of 17.1 acres per 1,000 population for the planning area. The City of Federal Way
Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department will work together with all public agencies (state, county and
school districts) to achieve this goal.
The primary goal of the plan is to assure that every neighborhood in Federal Way is served by a park.
Staff Summary:
The Parks and Recreation Committee reviewed the revisions and edits of the 1995 Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Plan on September 12, 1995.
The Parks and Recreation Committee requested the following changes:
1) Section III page 21, "spell out the abbreviated words in the department's organizational chart."
2) Section III page 22, "add all levels of participants to Table 18. The table should represent all participants who use
our ball fields."
Attached are the revised pages.
Committee Recommendations:
The Parks and Recreation Committee discussed the changes and revisions of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
• COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORT
Date: September 28, 1995
From: Finance and Economic Development Committee
Subject: Recreation Program Cost Recovery
BACK GROUND:
This discussion attempts to address various concerns raised by the City Council on the City's recreation
programs over the past couple of years. Some of the concerns are: Providing blanket subsidized service
instead of targeted subsidies (such as a voucher system); competing with private service providers; cost
benefit of programs (participation levels); the number of programs offered (should we target the `Vital
few" programs only).
STAFF REPORT SUMMARY:
The City's recreation progrmas offers community recreation, senior activity and services, athletic
activities, tournaments, special population programs, and various special events year round. The overall
annual revenue is estimated at $456,000 and program expenditures are estimated at $1.3 million, with a
recovery ratio of 34 %. The program expenditures include program administration costs but not
department administration costs, facility depreciation (usage), nor the cost of maintenance and operation
of sports fields. Special events such as the Red -White -and Blue celebration and Family Fest are part of
• the program expenditures.
The number of programs offered are at capacity both in terms of staff support and facility availability.
The City's fees are at the higher end of surrounding jurisdictions. Few jurisdictions have recovery ratio
information available nor established policy goals. Although the City's facilities have received more care
and attention since being transfered from King County, their condition, when compared to similar
facilities in other jurisdictions. With these considerations in mind, staff proposed various fee increases
totaling $50,000, without considering park entrance fees, bring the recovery ratio to 38 %.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Committee discussed this issue in its August 31 and September 28 meetings and directed staff
to review fee adjustments to attain a recovery ratio at 40% and 45% respectively. The Committee
further requested these fee adjustments, a resident vs non - resident fee structure, and the type of
programs currently offered be reviewed by Parks Committee and report back to the full Council
during the 1996 budget process.

MEMORANDUM
Date: September 22, 1995
To: Finance and Economic Development Committee
From: David Wilbrecht, Deputy Director
Subject: Fees and Charges
The attached spreadsheet titled Recreation Revenue Enhancements, is a summary of potential revenue
enhancements for 1996. These enhancements were a result of surveys from surrounding communities and
our best estimate of what the "market will bear" based on the types of programs the city currently offers.
Although some areas may be unpopular to Federal Way citizens, we felt a complete overview of revenue
enhancements would provide more meaningful information to the Finance and Economic Development
Committee.
As you know, the city provides many programs and activities. Most of these are not directly competitive
with the private sector, but serve as an incubator for private sector ventures; introductory music classes
are an example of this type of program. From a recreation manager's point of view, the classes are priced
to allow someone to attend the class with low out -of- pocket risk if they decide not to further their interest.
• If they choose to pursue the activity, they will probably have a higher level of conviction for the activity
and will be willing to take further actions to pursue it with private instruction. The vendors benefit by
having clients or students with proven interest and conviction, resulting in less turnover, higher quality
students and stabilized incomes.
Several citizen groups benefit from our existing fee structure. They include families with children, low
to moderate income citizens, and seniors with fixed or limited incomes. These individuals can participate
in programs they otherwise could not afford. From a recreation point of view, the city benefits as a whole
when individuals and groups engage in positive activities that enhance the quality of their lives and the
community. Another group that benefits from our exiting fee structure are those who can afford to pay
full price for our programs. The risk to the city by increasing the fees for classes is the potential reduction
of the number of participants who cannot afford the program if the city charged more.
Fees are also charged for facilities with special characteristics and features such as athletic parks,
Klahanee Lake Community Center, and Steel Lake Park. The city may be able increase fees based on
supply and demand and not compete with the private sector. The city currently charges adult athletics for
both field use and lights. Youth athletics pay for lights, but are not charged for field use. The spreadsheet
shows placing a use fee on youth athletics and increasing team fees for adults. Charging $1.00 per person
can also generate additional fees for the Jam Session at Klahanee Lake Community Center and by selling
ad space in the quarterly recreation brochure.
The last area of revenue enhancement is charging an entry fee for Steel Lake Park during between
Memorial Day and Labor Day Weekends. The proposed revenue is based on $2.00 per carload. In 1994,
the average traffic count was 1,784 cars per day. A very conservative calculation shows a potential net
• revenue of $110,200 for the season. There are several other benefits from imposing an entry fee to the
•
park. We anticipate reduced cruising, improved park security, reduction in the number of car break-ins, •
theft and improved on -site accountability by staff.
We look forward to discussing these revenue enhancements next Thursday morning. If you have any
questions before then, please feel free to call me at 661 -4055.

SUBJECT: 1996 Operational Issue: Recreation Recovery Analysis
The attached spreadsheets illustrate the City of Federal Way's Recreation Division recovery ratios
by activity center plus several fee comparison studies. The recovery ratio analysis presents
Recreation's 1995 Adopted Expenditure and Revenue Budget, along with each component's
respective recovery ratio. The analysis also includes, by activity center, the current average hourly
fee each participant pays to the City. Finally, the spreadsheet shows what average hourly
• participant fee is needed to ensure the program is funded entirely with user fees in lieu of the
current 65.8% subsidy from the General Fund. The fee studies compare the City of Federal Way
community recreation and athletics activity center to other local municipalities and private vendors.
City finance and recreation staff will be available at the August 31, 1995 Finance & Economic
Committee meeting to answer questions. However, if there are questions in the interim, please feel

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
PARKS, RECREATION & CULTURAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 17, 1995
TO: Jack Dovey, Chair
Parks and Recreation Council Conimi
FROM: Jennifer L. Schroder, Director i
SUBJECT: Steel Lake Little League
The impact of an additional 750 boys and girls from the Steel Lake Little League program into
the Federal Way parks inventory would create a very significant situation. Currently, Federal
Way National Little League, Federal Way American Little League, Federal Way Girls Fast Pitch
Softball Association and Federal Way Boys and Girls Club are scheduled on our fields. The 750
children from Steel Lake Little League translates to over 50 teams practicing two times per week
and playing at least one league game. We currently have no open fields to schedule them.
In the event the City would be requested by Steel Lake Little League to accommodate their
teams, possible options to explore are the following:
1. Reduce the size of the adult softball program at Steel Lake and Saghalie Park. This is
only a partial solution however, with serious budget implications. The average adult
team pays over $700 to play in Federal Way. Each night lost at Steel Lake or Saghalie
cost over $5,600 in revenue to the City.
2. Have the other little league programs absorb the children into their programs, which still
adds 50 teams and 750 children to an over -used system.
3. Work on the possibility of lighting the softball fields at the high schools, which could
help accommodate some growth, but not all of it. Explore all possibilities utilizing
school fields not currently being used.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Jack Dovey, Chair
Parks and Recreation Council Com ' ( -
FROM: O Jennifer L. Schroder, Director �
SUBJECT: Skateboard Park
This past year the City has received several letters from youth requesting that the City consider
building a skateboard park.
As a matter of opportunity, the retention pond on 1st Avenue, south of 312th is on the Public
Works Department's 1995 small projects list for improvements. If the Committee would support
the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department in working with the Public Works
Department in designing pond improvements to include a skateboard facility. Our Park Planner
could work with the Youth Commission, the public, and the Public Works Department to
develop a design and cost estimate for such a facility. Funding sources for development could
be fee -in- lieu -of monies collected for parks and /or sponsorships, and volunteer support.
The parcel at 1st Avenue South and 312th is surrounded by residential and multi- family
residences. The age groups most participating in skateboarding are 12 -17 years. This group
is most mobile by bicycles and skateboards. The retention pond is due east of French Lake Park
and the Federal Way Fire Department.
Skateboard parks are popular in California and in the communities Seattle, Mercer Island,
Bellevue, Yelm and Moses Lake. The five local communities have been successful in working
with the youth, commissions, communities, and city's insurance agencies to build these parks.
Skateboarding and rollerblading is just not a youth fad. These new affordable recreational
"sports" will be around for a long time. City park, recreation and police departments have
recognized these popular youth activities and are working together with the youth and teens in
developing new skateboard parks. Glenn Dunnam, Chief of Police, City of Yelm, has provided
us a copy of their documents on their new skateboard park.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Parks and Recreation Council Committee
FROM: David Wilbrecht, Deputy Director
SUBJECT: School Field Improvement Update
Representatives from CPAC, the City and the School District continue to meet biweekly. The
next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 25, 1995 at 9:00 at the Fire Station.
CPAC has submitted invoices for improvements at Kilo Junior High and are completing the
order for bleachers at Thomas Jefferson and Stadium West at Federal Way High School.
The Lake Grove project is expected to begin June 1996. John Beer and another volunteer have
been selected to serve as project managers for this project. The School District reported that
they were required to submit plans and complete site screening for installing a new portable on
site. Some screening material was planted in the area of the field. We are concerned about
adding screening to these kinds of sites and have requested time with the Land Use and
Transportation Committee to review this item. The Community Development Department has
recommended that we review the concern with a staff person first. We are coordinating that
meeting.
Plans for the Stadium West project are being completed. It appears that a Process II
application will need to be completed for this project. We will be meeting with the planning
department to review requirements during the next month.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 17, 1995
TO: Jack Dovey, Chair
Parks and Recreation Council Committee
FROM: David Wilbrecht, Deputy Director
SUBJECT: School Security
For the past eleven months, the School District has provided park security in both neighborhood
and community parks throughout the city. At the time we created the arrangement, some
officials at the School District felt that a formal agreement would not be possible due to internal
constraints. Since we started the relationship, the internal constraints have been resolved and
it appears that both the City and the School District would benefit from formalizing the
arrangement. This memo is an overview of that agreement and is provided as a catalyst for
further discussion between the two organizations.
We recognized the value of a relationship with the school security after seeing patrol vehicles
near parks and managing the same problems and individuals that the city was involved with.
Through our discussions, we discovered the School District and City have many commonalities.
Many park users and people vandalizing or damaging parks are students. Many of our
properties are adjacent, for example Wildwood Park and Wildwood School, or there is close
proximity between a park and school site. When students leave a school site, either voluntary
or by expulsion, they often go a public area or park and cause problems. These considerations
lead us to review opportunities to maximize our resources.
We discovered potential areas of synergy between school security operations and park
operations. School security is active at school sites between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m.. They
often travel between school sites and park sites. They continue to patrol after school hours for
special events, athletics, and other school activities. Many of these events are in parks such as
Saghalie and Lakota Junior High Schools. Our staff was talking with District personnel about
security issues, upcoming events, and coordination of facilities. The District had observed and
often prevented park damage during their routine patrols, although their focus was on school
properties.

Parks and Recreation Council Committee Page Two
October 17, 1995
At an informal level, school security expanded to include park patrols. The park patrols were
a second priority to school needs. Security personnel have provided a wide range of services.
These include routine park inspections, locking and unlocking gates, reporting incidents and
damage, and preventing damage by apprehending vandals. Copies of some of their reports are
attached for your review. There are several other services available to the City that we are
either contracting regularly or in emergencies. These include monitoring alarm systems, door
and lock service, and door checks. Additional services could include first response to after-
hours park emergencies, turning on or off ballfield lights, and increased park patrols.
The security personnel have said that they need to formalize the relationship to continue to
provide park patrols. We have asked them to provide a proposal to clarify their scope of services
and fees for services. We expect to have this by the meeting next Monday, October 23, 1995,
for your review and discussion. At that meeting we will also review the next steps.
If you would like to discuss this agenda item, please feel free to call me at 661 -4055.
