• COMMISSION BUSINESS
A. CIAC Update
McColgan displayed copies of the final CIAC report that was presented to the City Council. Members of Commission
could request a copy or review his. He explained the recommendations that went to Council. Basically, the CIAC
requested funds to complete the park/sports fields complex. The Council will vote on the presented packet on April 8.
Private contributions/grants will be researched after the recommendation is passed. A discussion followed. Passage
looks very positive, and the economic impact will be very beneficial to this community. Roach complimented those
Commission members who had worked so hard on this project.
B. CPAC
Reid stated that Lake Grove bids will be let tomorrow. She announced that Wendy Howe is coordinator for volunteer
groups. Wendy reported that CPAC is in transition due to lack of participation and may no longer be continued after the
Lake Grove project is completed.
C. WORK PLAN
McColgan reported that the Parks and Recreation Commission's work plan will be modified upon approval based on the
recommendations of the CIAC for Celebration Park. Policies will have to be developed for this new complex and the
work plan will expand.
The Skateboard Park project has progressed slower than expected. The subcommittee hopes to make site visits
sometime in April. A discussion followed. Parks Operations will be working with the subcommittee to complete the
plan.
Grosch asked for clarification of active work plan projects; there are four projects at this time which include Skateboard
Park, Adopt -a -Park, City beautification and the Blueberry Farm.
Reid distributed wildflower information and gave an update on the project. Kellogg responded that the Kiwanis has set
aside $100 for this project. Reid will give a wildflower presentation to the Parks and Recreation City Council
Committee on April 14. On May 3, a partnership of volunteers, community groups and City staff will sow wildflower
seeds on the BPA and West Campus Trails.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
February 6, 1997
•
D. OFF -LEASH DOG PARK •
Bollen feels that the Commission has an obligation to consider the off -leash dog park request. There have been
considerable public input and an outstanding job presenting their concerns.
REM MADE A MOTION TO ADD THE OFF -LEASH DOG PROJECT TO THIS COMMISSION'S WORK
PLAN AND ASSIGN A SUBCOMMITTEE AND AN AD HOC OF INTERESTED CITIZENS, BOLLEN
SECONDED. MOTION FAILED.
After much discussion, Commission members felt a letter should be sent to the group of interested citizens in August.
The letter would inform them that we look forward to seeing them at a fall meeting to hear the findings on the Seattle off -
leash pilot program.
E. COMMISSION EXPANSION
McColgan explained we as a Commission are not expanding, but the responsibilities in relationship to the Celebration
Park project will be.

before low tide and close the gate two hours before high tide. A monthly open/close calendar will be created and posted
on the gate fence. A copy would also be available in the Visitation office. After Process III is complete, the
recommendation will be to have the beach area open from dawn to dusk. Kaplan distributed a " Volunteer Dumas Bay •
Monitoring Program 1997" article. He gave an update on this item, which is part of the Adopt -a -Beach project.
H. PARK SECURITY
Wilbrecht will be talking with Federal Way Police personnel to help improve parks security. In the near future, the
parks will be a routine route for the Federal Way police.

Staff: Dave Wilbrecht, Deputy Director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Dept.
(Mr. Wilbrecht also served as photographer and videographer)
SITES VISITED.: Seattle, Kirkland, Bellevue, Mercer Island
COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS FROM USERS
AND TOUR PARTICIPANTS
SEATTLE: Seattle Center /Fifth and'Repubiican
Good location, centrally located on bus lines. Most users are teens, predominantly
15 -17 year olds. Heaviest use is after school when non - Seattleites use site and
on weekends.
Facility is too small, too crowded. Portable units make changeable sites possible.
Badly designed with units too close to one another. Collision danger high.
Metal ramps are too fast and do not permit enough control by skaters.
Intermingling of roller bladers and sometimes causes problems.
•
No aesthetics. Ugly cyclone fence surrounds area. No amenities. No benches.
Congregating on top of launch platform is hazardous. Prominent posting of rules
governing use, vandalism, skating at one's own risk.
KIRKLAND: Peter Kirk Park
Excellent location in city center, near library, senior center, shopping mall.
Visible from street, sufficient parking, easily accessible by emergency vehicles.
Did not take advantage of topography.
Concrete ramps are efficient and don't pit. However, metal edging needed to reduce
or eliminate chipping. Poor drainage of rain water, with dirt - collecting within
skate area.
Opened June 1996 at cost of $35,000. City budgets $5,000 per year for maintenance,
upgrades, improvements. Definite future changes include a maintenance shed for broom, etc.
a launch ramp, and a bowled edge at half pipe.
Average age: Junior and Senior High Schoolers. Principally 10 -25 years is widest
age range. Weekend mornings: Little tots wearing pads. Site too small,
City code restricts height of elements, thereby reducing challenge and flexibility.
City requires users wear helmets and pads. Roller bladers and small trick bicycle
• riders also use site. City ordinance prohibits skateboarding on city streets,
parking lots or in parking garages.
Information packet provided by Park Department staff member Jenny Wrenn who visited
with us and answered quesions.
SKATEBOARD PARK SITE VISITS -- -Page Two
BELLEVUE: Highland Park
Unique for several reasons: Indoors, Staffed, Annual Membership and. Per Use Fee, •
Set schedule for skating "sessions ".
Original cost $30,000 plus $10,000 forsubsequent redesign and modification.
City allocates $25,000 for operations and'also uses additional $ annual income.
Construction is masonite on wood. Units are reconfigured about every eight months
for variety.
6,000 members have paid the $4 Lifetime Membership. Per use fee is $2. Pad
Rental is $1. Ten Session pass is $15. Of total membership, only 250 are female.
Users must have helmets, elbow and knee pads, skateboard ID and current Season Pass.
Average use: about 35 per day. Weekends heavier usage. Inline and skateboarders
both use facility, often concurrently.
No amenities, no ability for visitors to watch. Unit is all ramps which abut
fencing and roof.
No restroom or drinking facilities on site. Taped music is played during sessions:
1:30 -4 and 4 -8 on weekends, 3 -7:30 p.m. week days.
One of on -site Bellevue staff members is also involved in skateboard park design
and construction management. Mr..Wiibrecht has details.
Facility is ugly and unfriendly. No aethestics, no sense of community. •
MERCER ISLAND: Mercerdale Park
Too small. Too crowded. Uninteresting. Only one, three -seat bench at site.
NO drinking fountain or restroom.
Need metal caps on curbs to prevent chipping.
Not challenging enough. Badly designed, since abrupt transitions from flat to
angular area causes a bumpand prevents smooth movement.
About 12- 20'people use the site. Heavier on weekends. Tucked too far from street.
Nearby walking path does give site community connection.
Enitre site is sloped. Makes for a tiring session, since users have to continually
go uphill between units.
Did not take advantage of topography. Visually uninteresting.
Prominently displays rules, especially the "Skate at your own risk" aspect.
•
SKATEBOARD PARK SITE VISITS -- -Page Three
CONCLUSIONS OF TOUR PARTICIPANTS
• 1. Bellevue and Seattle sites are ugly and unfriendly. They have no amenities and
no seating so observers or participants can watch the activity.
2. Kirkland and Mercer island are aesthetically dull and have not taken advantage
of the topography 'in their setting. The ultra conservative designs result in
boring and unchallenging experience for both skateboarders and viewers. (This
last criticism is truer of Mer Island than Kirkland). Both sites have insufficient
amenities for users or observers.
3. Design of facility must have continuing, on -going participation and support of
ultimate site users. Youth point of view must be a major player.
4. Site should have an aesthetic sense, .perhaps enhanced by public art. Amenities
such as sufficient seating, drinking fountain, sari -can, maintenance kiosk.
5. Site must be open, visibile from the street, have sufficient parking and access
for emergency vehicles.
6. If possible, site should have different areas for novice and advanced users.
Levels of skill for each area should be posted or even named, like ski trails are.
7. Design should offer safety amongst users and allow for self- policing traffic
control of elements in use. Appropriate launch samps and interplay of units
is imperative.
II 8 . Our park should be larger in size than any of the four we visited. A larger space
enhances safety and provides greater interest.
9. Only Kirkland had a traversing bank which all skateboarders wanted.
10. User fees and staffing is unwarranted. This activity needs to be unstructured.
11. Things to consider: a) Call the site SKATE COURT, so all wheeled users feel at home.
b)Few females participate.
c)Should helmets or pads be required or recommended?
d)Should a "sticker /graffiti " board be on site? Or would
and "Upcoming Events" posting board be be -ter?
e)Should a rollerblade track be built around the skating area?
STAFF DUTIES IN PREPARATION FOR MAY 15 PUBLIC MEETING
1. Propose suggested sites: French Lake Park, Celebration Park, Steel Lake Park and
any others, plus their advantages /disavantages.
2. Look into possible funding sources and have their availability summarized:
CDBG, Airwalk Grant, Neighborhood Development Grant, Human Services Funding
by City, Balance from Lake Grove Fields Construction /Renovation Project.
3. Organize Panel: Yelm Police Chief, Jenny Wrenn (Kirkland), Joe Moorman (Bellevue),
Parks Staff:Wilbrecht,Jainga.

Grand Opening Of Lake Grove Sports Fields — May,1998
SKATE PARK PUBLIC MEETING
• May 15, 1997
Federal Way City Hall - Council Chambers
51 PEOPLE CAME OUT FOR SKATE PARK PUBLIC MEETING
Parks & Recreation Chair, Laird Chambers, emceed the May 15 meeting at City Hall featuring
Glen Dunnam, Chief of Police in Yelm, Pam McFall, Parks Development Coordinator for the City of
Kent, Rick Sill, Parks Manager for Des Moines, Bruce Carter, an in -line skate promoter and Dan
Burckhard from the 35th Avenue Skate Shop in Federal Way.
All of the panelists made important contributions to the discussion about the development of
skate parks in our neighboring communities and what we could learn from their efforts in
designing and developing a skate park in Federal Way.
VIDEO TOUR OF SURROUNDING AREA SKATE PARKS LED THE DISCUSSION
Dave Kaplan of the FW Parks & Recreation Commission narrated a video of six skate parks in
Seattle, Kirkland, Bellevue, Mercer Island, Kent and Des Moines. Each offered positive features -
but there were drawbacks to some.
PANELISTS GAVE DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEWS
Chief Dunnam noted that funding was a problem in the development of the Yelm facility next to
the Police station. Yelm constructed its park in three phases. The initial phase didn't offer enough
of a challenge to skaters. From a 40' x 60' area it evolved into a 100' x 100' park with a 6' half pipe.
The costs for all three phases was $55,000. Funding came from grants, donations, community
yard sales and car washes.
Pam McFall of Kent gave the funding history of the Kent facility. Starting with a city grant of
$50,000 she was able to "piggy- back" her design research on Des Moines work with a California
architect, saving air fare and lodging expense each time designers flew into our area to consult
with Des Moines planners. The eventual budget for Kent was $140,000. Kent involved the
young people who would be the eventual users of the park and met their requirements. Then the
city went to the Lions Club and asked for its support. The Lions support came to $32,000. An
important feature of the Kent/Lions park is the public art created by the users under the direction
of the Arts Commission. Users created concrete tiles, using skate parts, which line low walls. More
will be added this year to reach a total of 100.
Rick Still of Des Moines noted that they developed a matching program for funding and many
volunteers were involved in the actual construction. When the work went out to bid, it came back
at a cost of $90,000 - but the city had allocated a budget of just $35,000. Much of the park
development was done in- house ", a method he would not advise for any other community. He
recommended developing special events and demonstrations. He also suggested that the young
people of Federal Way develop a professional presentation they could make to the City Council to
encourage its support and funding. All age groups use the park - teens and adults.
Dan Burckhard of the 35th Avenue Skate Shop urged that the city make a skate park large
enough to meet the needs of all skaters. He noted that most of the parks are too small.
FOUR SITES UNDER CONSIDERATION IN FEDERAL WAY
Dave Wilbrecht, Deputy Director of FW Parks & Recreation, announced the following sites were
possibilities for a skate park.
. The BPA Trail . Steel Lake Park . French Lake Park .Celebration Park
•
PUBLIC COMMENTS INDICATED SUPPORT AND INTEREST
. Size and height of the pyramids add to the cost
. Cost per Federal Way resident is a cent per day. (75,000 X .01 X 365 = $273,750.) •
. Need to get the word out by developing an informative brochure and getting it out to the
public.
. Maintenance is a concern - litter, graffiti, etc.
. Like Kirkland arrangement because kids were not shoved off into a corner. Skaters are
wonderful athletes who deserve an audience.
. We want to keep our young people here in Federal Way - not send them off to other -
communities to enjoy their sport.
. If skaters had an audience, they would keep the area clean and litter -free so adults would
have a better opinion of us.
. Need to meet weekly with skaters. After the architect is on board, should meet every
3 or 4 weeks so users are part of the design process.
SUMMARY:
FW skaters signed up with Phuong -Tao Hong, Chair of the Youth Commission so they could
attend future meetings when the skate park is under discussion. They can be the core group the
panelists said were essential in following the process through from start to finish.

RE: May 20, 1997 City Council meeting.
•
At'last night's city council meeting 12 teenagers were present.and 9 of them
spoke in favor of a skate court in Federal Way. One of.the 9 also presented a
petition with 90 (Yes, NINETY:) signatures for a skate park;:*
Three of the speakers had heard about the skate park meeting last,week when they
were talking to other skaters in Kent. They want to be included on the design
team. They are:
•
Randy Barnett, 35414 26th place South, FW 874 -1928
Chris Moody, 4223 S. 293rd Street, FW 941 -5239
Craig Sauer, 4331 So. 299th Street, FW 946 -5829
1111 In discussion with five of the youngsters, they also said they know of people
whose parents could probably donate CEMENT, METAL, RAILINGS, and do BLUEPRINTS::
I have that information on file.
Let's not lose this momentum. Can we plan a design meeting in the next few weeks?
I'll be out of town May 27 -June 4, but don't let that slow you down.
*Assistant City Clerk was supposed to give a copy of the petition to
Dave Wilbrecht today, May 21. Let's confirm this.

REMARKS TO FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL BY H. DAVID KAPLAN, MAY 20, 1997
I am speaking tonight as a representative of the Federal Way Parks and Recreation
Commission. Commission Chair Laird Chambers - has asked me to brief you about three
items.
•
First, last Thursday, May 15, the Parks and Youth Commissions held a joint public
meeting about building 'a Skate Court in Federal Way. We had parks representatives
from Des Moines and Kent, as well as the Yelm Police Chief. All of these civic
representatives had been heavily involved in building skate facilities in their
communities., Also on the panel were Bruce Carter of Team Fade,,.a skating demonstration
group, and Dan Burckhard of the 35th Avenue Skate shop in Federal - Way. The panelists
discussed various aspects of building, funding and operating such a facility. There
was also dialog between panelists and audience members, as well'as a video shown
of visits to six area skate facilities made by parks and youth commission members.
There were 51 people in.attendance and all were enthused about the project. Nearly a
dozen youth signed up to participate in initial. design and funding discussions.
Thank you letters, along with a summary of the meeting, will be going out shortly
to all attendeds. You will receive a copy of that letter.
111 �Z�
Second, this coming Thursday, May 2�, at 2:30 p.m•., we will have a formal groundbreaking
for construction of the two batting and one soccer fieldsat Lake Grove Elementary
School. You are all invited to come. Refreshments will be served. The contractor should
. be through with his work by September. Then in`the fall and next spring, volunteers
will continue work party activities to prepare the fields for -a May 1988 opening.
This flyer was'distributed to all students and faculty at Lake Grove Elementary School .
J esterday. It was prepared•by parks commissioners Reid and Kaplan, and Deputy Parks
Director Wilbrecht. Computer assistance was provided by local volunteer Debbie Klein.
Finally, the long - awaited .work on Mark Twain Elementary School playfield will kick
off at 9 a.m. on Saturday June 7. This is the first of many volunteer work parties
in the months ahead. •
1/4
I invite everyone hereto the Lake Grove groundbreaking May land the June 7 kick -off
for the Mark TwairSchool'playfield redevelopment.
You'll also hear more about the skate court activity and how you can participate
in the months ahead - .
Thank you.
FEDERAL WAY WALK ON THE WILD SIDE
• Final Report to the Parks & Recreation Commission
May 6, 1997
A total of 381 pins were distributed to people who came to sow wildflower seeds.
Of the 200 donated paint stirrers we had on hand for those who arrived without hand tools or
gardening implements, 183 were handed out. Many were used after seeding as markers by the
planters.
Over 40 Decatur high school students participated in stamping the seed envelopes and
packaging the seeds under the direction of Justine McMillan.
Monda Holsinger provided AmeriCorps volunteers to inflate balloons and tie them into 24
balloon trees - which unfortunately leaked helium overnight. Truman High School students
also assisted.
25 Weyerhaeuser employees participated - 10 "WAVES" as a group on May 3, and 15 employees
from the West Campus office building on Thursday, May 1.
USAA sent 5 employees wearing their corporate volunteer shirts.
Many Cub Scout and junior Girl Scout troops participated - some independently - and others
representing Panther Lake School.
• Most of the Parks Commission members were there, as well as a full representation of the City
Council.
The dedication of Dave Willbrecht - who not only worked hard setting up canopies and later
tearing them down and disposing of the balloons- ably assisted by his daughter and one of her
friends, merits special commendation. Our wildflower seeding event could not have happened
without the support of Dave and admin assistant Pam Pollman. Everyone particularly
appreciate the rototilling along the trails by Parks Maintenance.
We are also very grateful to Mary Faber who assisted with the logistics, and who also
participated on Saturday, with her small son.
Special mention must also be made of Dave Kaplan who stood at the West entrance to the BPA
Trail dispensing seeds, and Bob Kellogg and Mrs Kellogg who shuttled back and forth between
entrances to make sure there was an even seed distribution.
For future wildflower events, we could delete the balloons, and might well focus on one trail or
the other. Only two people showed up for the West Campus Trail - one using all the seeds for
that area over a 200 foot stretch. He lives in the area and worked for a solid three hours,
raking, seeding and tamping earth to cover.
I have been approached by several people who participated and thought the event was a great
community project. Two people have asked to be a part of an organizing committee next year.
We should try an outreach program to the local garden clubs for other beautification projects.

BUDGET
• INCOME:
City of Federal Way $500.00
Kiwanis $100.00
Weyerhaeuser $200.00
Total: $800.00
EXPENSE
Seeds $250.00
Coin Envelopes (2,500) $ 40.00
Balloons (432) $ 60.00
Ribbon $ 6.00
Buttons $175.00
Flyers $ 26.00
Misc. $ 10.00
SaniCans (2) $100.00
Total: $667.00
Please Note: •
No shipping costs or sales taxes have been included in the above figures.
In any event, we came in under budget.
A future event would not require balloons or ribbon. That money could be
better utilized on a couple of banners or pre -event publicity, which will be
harder to achieve through 'free" media a second time around.

Dear Jenny:
Thanks for the opportunity to apply for the Commission. I would certainly be interested in
helping with fund raising. Please let me know what I can do. I'll try to make the meeting
on June 5 In the event I'm not there (my daughter has a game that night) please feel free
to volunteer me to lend a hand (my skills aren't many but I can take out the trash).
• Respectfully,
Ron Zaffino
