PUBLIC FORUM Special Use Permit /Relay for Life - Mark Lucich of "Relay for Life" distributed a brochure outlining history, • purpose and timeline of the fundraising event. Lucich gave background information on "Relay for Life" in the Federal Way area. The event is sponsored by the American Cancer Society. Mr. Lucich stated an application has been submitted for use of Saghalie Park for the 2005 "Relay for Life" event, which is scheduled for the weekend of May 21 and 22, 2005. Discussion followed on a variety of issues including, security, neighborhood impact, parking, staff support, and litter control. Chair Purdom thanked Mr. Lucich for his presentation and stated the commission would review the information and place it on the December agenda for further consideration. Special Use Peimit/Federal Way Symphony - Superintendent Faber presented a Staff Report on the Federal Way Symphony Special Use Permit Request for a proposed outdoor concert in August 2005 at the Dumas Bay Centre. Faber stated the projected revenue loss to Dumas Bay Centre to be in the range of $5,300 to $8,600 for this event. Since Dumas Bay Centre grounds are intended for passive use only, environmental impact to the property and limited access to the area are important considerations. Discussions ensued about prior use of outdoor area, types of groups, City support of non- profit organization functions. Faber stated staff would like to draft a policy statement to guide future Special Use Permit requests for all city park facilities. Carol Clemens stated the Federal Way Symphony would like to bring a cultural event to the City of Federal Way by providing a classical evening Symphonic Pops Concert in an outdoor setting complete with refreshments. Arts Commission Chair Donna Welch said the Arts Commission has discussed this request by the Federal Way Symphony. They concurred that preparing a draft of policy guidelines would provide a basis for developing a set of policies to govern all Special Use Permits. H. David Kaplan said that a Tourism Enhancement Grant of $3,500 has been awarded to the Federal Way Symphony. Kathy Franklin, Federal Way Symphony, stated the Symphony has a tight timeline and needs to make a decision on site selection no later than March 1, 2005. A soloist has already been retained for the event. • Chair Purdom suggested Commission members visit Dumas Bay Centre to view the grounds and evaluate the feasibility of this type of use at this facility. He asked that commissioners be ready to offer their comments at the next meeting. Purdom also requested staff provide the Parks and Recreation Commissioners with a copy of the Y , Parks and Recreation Coission, November 4, 2004 I/ Page 2 Comprehensive Plan definitions and Outdoor Use Policies for Dumas Bay Centre. Sanders will contact the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife concerning eagle habitat issues. Purdom also requested a legal Department staff member attend the December 2, 2005 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting to provide legal • interpretation on this matter. COMMISSION BUSINESS C.I.P. — Park Planner Sanders distributed the Parks Capital Improvement Plan Timeline for Years 2005 -2010. Sacajawea Park design has been pushed out a year. Impact fee study is on hold until a legal decision has been reached in another city. Dumas Bay Centre Restoration Phase I (already completed) provided stabilization of the bluff and shoreline. Phase II provides for erosion - control work on the bluff. West Hylebos Boardwalk construction is shown for 2009, but the preferred construction is 2007 as the condition of the wooden boardwalk may present health and safety issues in the near future. Chair Purdom asked about joint funding discussions with Friends of Hylebos. The Friends of Hylebos have asked if they can use the historic Marckx house on the Hylebos as an office.

Staff will be working with the consultant to begin preparing bid documents. Kaplan suggested the Commission consider a fundraising project similar to Celebration Park.

Background Background: The Relay For Life event is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. This event has been held for the last four years at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. Due to scheduling conflicts, that venue is not available for this year's event. Representatives of the Relay For Life event addressed the Parks and Recreation Commission at its November meeting. They provided a history of the event and what their plan entails regarding the use of Saghalie Park for the event. During this presentation they also posed the question of city sponsorship of the event. They explained the various levels of sponsorship and the benefits associated with each. Staff estimates the cost for use of Saghalie Park for this event to be approximately $1,500.00. Current Status: Mr. Lulich and his committee have asked the commission to consider city sponsorship of the 2005 event. The legal issue of city sponsorship of the event will be reviewed at the December 2, 2004 commission meeting.
