* REPORTS - CELEBRATION PARK
• A. WEB PAGE UPDATE
Kaplan distributed an information sheet on the Urban Parks Institute October, 1998 Forum. He suggested
formatting of a Web Page Committee work with Jenny Schroder, Parks Director, on the Celebration Park Web Page
and to monitor information provided by the Urban Parks Institute. Reid said Kurt Reuter, Recreation Manager at
Klahanee Center, has a file of pictures relating to parks activities that could be used for the Celebration Park Web
Page. Bartholomew volunteered to review the file and choose appropriate photos for consideration.
B. CONSTRUCTION REPORT
Wilbrecht said Celebration Park is at the end of construction with a couple minor corrections to be done. Duclos
asked if the park was draining properly and Wilbrecht responded yes. He then explained the overflow structure.
Reid asked about the entrance signs and Wilbrecht said they will be ordered soon. Kaplan asked about the benches
and suggested working with the downtown committee to coordinate a similar look. Wilbrecht said there was at least
a four week window on ordering and receiving them. Reid talked on the use of recycled material benches. The
Parks and Recreation Commission have a preferred bench they have chosen for their purchase. Bartholomew made
a motion that the commission purchase the two seat bench with checkerboard center. Kaplan seconded. Motion
passed. Kaplan passed out an update on the monies for Celebration Park. Discussion followed on placing benches
on the BPA Trail per public request. Vandalism and graffiti on the benches was discussed but it was decided to
revisit this issue at the next meeting.
C. PARK DEDICATION
The Celebration Park dedication committee has not yet met. They felt the need to wait until a budget had been set
for the ceremony. Wilbrecht will meet with Jack Dovey, Council member, Jenny Schroder, PRCS Director and
Barbara Reid, Commission chair tomorrow to set a dedication date and discuss activities. Kaplan made a motion to
recommend to Council members that the dedication ceremony be held mid -to -late May with Bollen seconding.
Motion passed. Discussion followed on whether to hold it mid week or the weekend. Reid suggested the
Dedication Committee meet and make recommendations to the Parks and Recreation Committee and the City
• Council on specific date and events.

D. RECOGNITION
Reid said that April, 1999 is the month major donors will be recognized at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
Bollen asked for a definition of "major" donor with Reid's response as $500.00 and above for the dedication
ceremony. The Chamber luncheon will focus on donors of $1500.00 and above only. Discussion on plaques
followed.
E. PUBLIC ART
Kellogg said he had talked with the Arts Commission and they have not set a specific date to discuss art for
Celebration Park. Their time frame was the first quarter of 1999. Wilbrecht said his understanding was that the
Commission would be working with a consultant on concepts and then would be calling on artists with a vision
statement. The Parks and Recreation Commissioners discussed the importance of their input to the Arts
Commission for the art selection. Kellogg will meet with Donna Welch, Arts Commission Chair, on the process to
be used in selecting art. A subcommittee was set up to meet and make recommendations to the Arts Commission.
Subcommittee Members: Kaplan and McColgan with Kellogg as lead.
McColgan reported on the International District area/pocket park. He attended a meeting and there was very poor
attendance from the area businesses for input.
* COMMISSION BUSINESS
A. SKATE PARK
Wilbrecht and Kaplan will be taking the finalized architectural drawings of the Skate Park to the Youth Commission
on February 25, 1999. Wilbrecht posted the drawings and discussion followed with commissioners. Duclos asked
about funding and Wilbrecht said it would cost between $200,00.00 - $250,000.00. Reid said she would like to be
on record that she does not feel the Youth Commission should be asked to donate or raise $50,000.00 towards Skate
Park. Discussion amongst the commissioners on this issue ended in a consensus that the money request would be
unrealistic.
B. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Bollen reported that the Comprehensive Plan Subcommittee reviewed six or seven comprehensive plans from other
cities /agencies. The consensus was the Baltimore Plan was the best model to fit the needs (concise, clear vision and
readable, etc). IAC requirement deadline is the end of 2000 but the City would like a deadline of September 30,
1999. Schroder had previously notified Bollen that the city wants an outline only by the September date and a draft
done by year end. The next subcommittee meeting will be held Monday, February 22, 1999 at 6:30 p.m. in the Mt.
St. Helens conference room. The best day of the week to hold meetings to accommodate commissioners attendance
was Mondays. Bollen will do a tentative schedule of future meetings and will discuss February 22nd. Bartholomew
asked to be included in the next meeting. Chambers suggested the agenda and meeting schedule go out to all
commissioners. Reid commended and thanked her fellow commissioners on work well done.
C. WORK PLAN/MARCH 4, 1999 STUDY SESSION
The next Parks and Recreation Commission meeting will be held at Dumas Bay Centre and will be a study session
with Dr. Michael Pendleton as facilitator. Reid asked each commissioner to sign up for a half hour telephone
interview prior to the March 4 meeting. Duclos felt parameters should be set by Council prior to the Parks and
Recreation Commission retreat. Commissioners voiced concern on the use of a facilitator, what was the real agenda
and was a study session really needed at this time.
Reid talked about the number of persons on the Parks and Recreation Commission. In the past, it was requested that
the commission consist of eleven members with two alternates. This was not approved. Also, a three term limit
was put into effect. Reid would like to see the commission request either eleven members with two alternates or
eleven members and no alternates. Bollen made a motion to recommend to Council that the Parks and Recreation
Commission consist of eleven full members and one alternate, with Bartholomew seconding. Motion passed.
Wilbrecht suggested it be put in as a staff recommendation. The three term limit was addressed. Bollen said this •
was the only commission in the city with term limits. Bartholomew made a motion that the term limit clause be
removed with Duclos seconding. Discussion continued until McColgan moved to table the issue to the next meeting
• Parks and Recreation Commission
Page 3
with Baker seconding. Motion passed.
Reid distributed a document on the Work Plan she passed out to the Parks, Recreation and Human Services Council
committee meeting on January 11, 1999. To date she has had no response from the committee.
* COMMISSION COMMENTS
Kaplan passed out newspaper clippings pertaining to city business and activities.
Bartholomew reported old furniture being dumped at Adelaide Park & 1 6th Avenue that needs cleaned up. Would
like a Parks and Recreation Commission clean -up day again at Panther Lake. It will be scheduled in the spring
when it gets warmer.
Chambers requested a copy of resume/biography of facilitator Dr. Pendleton. Suggested no commission business at
March 4th study session and every effort should be made to have Council Commission members (Dovey, Burbidge
and Kochmar) present at retreat also. Feels canoe club issue needs to be revisited for support. Wilbrecht said
canoe issue is being dealt with and a public meeting will be set in the future.
Duclos would like to see Council Committee at retreat March 4th and if not present, then give some direction to
Parks and Recreation Commission.
Kellogg voiced a concern about dogs running at large in French Lake Park. Reid said it is a King County Animal
Control issue. Kellogg requested Wilbrecht go to Law Department on this issue.
Baker asked for information on the Adelaide Open Space from Schroder. Where is Red, White and Blues Festival
this year? Can we minimize impact on fields at Celebration Park? Continued problems at Adelaide Park.
• Reid shared the invitation with all commissioners to the 7th Annual Breakfast for Kids on February 1 8th at 7:30
a.m. at Emerald Downs. Reid also has been researching the AmeriCorps for work in the parks system.

A. HOW IS THE COMMISSION WORKING?
Staff Relations /Comments from Commissioners
• Parks staff is very supportive of Parks and Recreation Commission.
• • Commissioners especially praised Wilbrecht for his support.
Council Relations /Comments from Commissioners
• Commissioners are frustrated with the communication between themselves and the City
Council. Some commissioners expressed that developing their work plan without
knowing the Council's goals is a backward procedure. Staff responded that Council has
developed city -wide goals.
• Invitations to attend commission meetings have been extended to Council Committee
members and they have not responded. Commissioners would like them to acknowledge
their invitations.
• Lack of feedback from Council. Commissioners wanted to know what they could do to
better this process. Wilbrecht will meet with the Commission Chairperson after each
meeting and work on action items to pass on to Council Committee in timely manner.
Commission Structure /Commissioners & Staff Comments
• Wilbrecht said the relationship between staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission
is good.
• Schroder said she has observed staff frustrated with the department's work load.
Requests from commissioners for work not related to commission business needs to be
communicated to Dave. Dave will prioritize requests along with the other citizen action
reuests.
•
Parks and Recreation Commission Work Study Retreat Page 2
Commission Structure /Size
•
• An action item to be taken to the next Council Committee meeting is the size of the
Current Commission. Commissioners were encouraged to attend this meeting to support
the issue of increasing the commission size. Schroder has reviewed the history of this
issue and reported there have been three amendments to the original ordinance.
Commission Structure /Committees
• The idea of subcommittees under the Parks and Recreation Commission was discussed as
a means of accomplishing more projects. With several of the commissioners on
subcommittees, it wasn't considered feasible to add additional committees. Discussion
continued on having standardized committees but not ongoing once project completed.
Commission Structure /Sharing Work
• Some commissioners did not feel they got enough support from other departments at City
Hall, i.e., graphics for flyers, Celebration Park fundraising, etc.
• When city staff is overloaded, they need to relay that information to commissioners and
prioritize - encourage open communication.
• One commissioner suggested that protocol prior to contacting staff is to contact the
Commission Chair.
• Dr. Pendleton suggested tabling the work share issue until the Work Plan has been
finalized then start discussion.
Dr. Pendleton's recap: •
• Commission Business: Reviewed the "mechanics" of how items discussed at commission
level gets forwarded to Council for either action or direction.
• It was agreed Wilbrecht and Commission Chair will caucus on "next step" after each of
the Parks and Recreation Commission meetings to prepare items for Council Committee.
• It was also acknowledged that there is a need to spend extra time with City Council on
issues of importance before forwarding recommendations to Council.

Fellow Commissioners,
Thank you for the tour of Celebration Park. The area presents a variety of beautiful sites for Public Art and
we appreciate your enthusiasm and dedication to this monumental project. We listened closely to your
suggestions and will include them in our decision making.
The scale of the park will demand that we choose wisely. To that end we would like to share with you the
policies we have developed in order to aid us in making a wise choice.
We have attached a copy of our latest draft of the City of Federal Way Arts Commission Visual Arts
• Collection and Management Policies. Section 3 of the document describes the process which we will
use to generate a list of suggested works for the Council.
The budget will provide for a consultant's fee to hire an experienced facilitator and we will reserve ten to
fifteen percent of the allocated funds in order to provide maintenance for the selected piece. The remainder
will be used to purchase artwork(s).
Thanks again for your help. We will continue to update you on the process..

Subject: Senior Bridge Activities at Klahanee Lake Community /Senior Center
The members of the Senior Bridge Group have been playing for several years now on
Thursdays, 1 -4 PM, at the Klahanee Lake Community /Senior Center in Federal Way.
During the past two years our playing membership has dropped off considerably from a
maximum of 25 players down to the present 8 - 10 players. While some was due to
several members passing away, others moving out of the area, the majority loss was
based on the following reasons.
The lack of close parking forced the older members (ages 80 - 90 and most with health
problems) to walk several blocks in very inclement weather.
• The currently allocated playing room is too small for a 4 - 5 card table setup, creates a lot
of extra noise, the temperature cannot be properly controlled, and prevents some of the
elderly with walkers, crutches or other aids to comfortably maneuver around the room
between tables and chairs.
With the bridge group's continued decline, the remaining members have decided to look
for another location to continue their activities, maybe join forces with other seniors, and
hopefully lure some of our lost members back into the fold.
The Kloshe Illahee Community Club has graciously invited our group's survivors to join
their also small bridge club, and to start playing on February 25, 199 at their Community
Club facility at no charge.
The FW Senior Bridge group appreciates the cooperation that the City's Recreation
Department Management (Doug McCormick and Kurt Reuter) has given us during the
past years (i.e. card table replacement, elevator installation, sliding window, etc.) and we
hope that our decision to move to another location will create no ill feelings.
Sincerely,
The FW Bridge Group Membership

I'd like to respond to a recent letter from Tim Bailey about the batting fields at
Celebration Park.
It took five years of meetings to determine what all the needs and limitations were
for the site. This was a difficult process and went through many, many revisions.
These discussions started four years after the property was acquired. So it has been
nearly a decade of anticipation for all concerned.
Ultimately, the realities forced certain decisions. It was imperative that a north
entrance to the park be included. That eliminated two soccer fields, The wetlands
mitigation was quite extensive and broader than earlier believed. - That eliminated
one batting field.
It was vital to have at least four batting and four soccer fields on the site so that
revenue- producing tournaments could be held. Only part of the property was buildable
and the road plus the eight sports fields had to fit in that area. Given those restrictions,
batting fields with only a three - hundred -foot outfield could be built.
While this confirguration may not suit everyone, we certainly have a valuable addition
to the active and passive recreation inventory of Federal Way.

I would like to make two corrections to the "Incorporation" story in your March 10
issue. On page two, the article states that the utility tax was instituted to pay for
the acquisition of Celebration Park. That is not correct. The 1991 Real Estate Excise
Tax was instituted to pay for acquisition.
The Utility Ti4(=MMON4wAimarsi in 1998, was instituted to pay for five Capital Improvement
Projects in the city: Downtown revitalization, A Public Safety Building, Asphalt Overlay
for city streets, construction of the theatre at Dumas Bay Centre, and finally, the
development of Celebration Park.
Also on page two, the article refers to Celebration Park as an "80 -acre downtown" site.
It is actually 83.5 acres. While this difference may appear small, the 3.5 acre dimension
is approximately the size of Mirror Lake Park and Palisades Park, two well -used neighborhood
parks.
I would also like to respond to Mr. Bailey's letter about the batting fields at Celebration
Park. Given the limitations of wetland mitigation, construction of a northern entrance to
the park, and the need for four fields for tournament play, these qualifications resulted
in a self- restricting outfield of only 300 feet.
