COMMISSION BUSINESS
Brooklake Update on Focus Grout) Meeting
Commissioner Coggins reported that the meeting was well attended, and there were representatives from the
Federal Way School District (FWSD), City of Federal Way Public Works Department and the Parks Department,
City Council members, the Federal Way Historical Society and the HANWOORI Church. The consultant AHBL
gave a presentation on the PROS Plan. Ideas for possible usage of the property were discussed. A major theme was
an environmental learning center and a .partnership with the FWSD. They did not want the site to become a
homeless shelter, sports complex, play ground or dog park. One of the main concerns was preserving the integrity
and history of the site.
STAFF REPORTS
Panther Lake Trail Improvements
Mr. Ikerd received the engineer permit. He is working on getting the specs from bridge companies on how they
would mount the bridge. Mr. Ikerd has also applied for the water meter permit and the Puget Sound Energy permit.
Staff is still hoping to go out to bid within the next two weeks. Mr. Ikerd stated that the goal is to start the project in
June, and have it completed by the end of the summer.
Parks Appreciation Day
Mr. Gerwen reported that there are several groups that have signed up for the event, and lunch for the event has
been ordered. Celebration Park will be divided into eight areas, and each area will have tasks assigned to it. Parks
Commissioners and Parks staff will manage some of those tasks. Parks Appreciation Day is scheduled for April 21
from 9:00am-12:00pm at Celebration Park. The Park Commission will sign up for the event at their April 5
meeting.

OTHER BUSINESS
Vice Chair Musick asked for an update on the budget. Mr. Hutton stated that there is a budget shortfall. This
shortfall is mainly due to the SCORE facility and some of it is due to the PAEC. The Parks Department submitted
numerous budget requests, but a lot of those requests were denied. The mandated minimum wage change will cost
the Community Center an additional $76,000. There will be a budget presentation at the March 6 City Council
meeting.
Needs Assessment homework assignment: It was requested that once the Parks Commissioners complete their
homework assignment that they email it to Mary, Jason or Steve. The completed assignments will be sent to the
consultants so it can be incorporated into the PROS Plan.
Commissioner Murrietta asked if the City has ever discussed using existing land for small micro housing for the
homeless. Mr. Hutton answered that there have been ideas that have been suggested. Commissioner Murrietta
added that the homeless camps are very dirty and it would be nice if there was a way to rally the community into
creating something controlled and sustainable that wouldn't be an eyesore and dangerous. Mr. Gerwen added that
New Hope Church has space available for homeless people, but to stay there you have to follow the rules, and
many of them do not want to follow the rules.
Vice Chair Musick inquired if the city had ever run any specific bonds for raising revenues for the parks. Mr.
Hutton answered that he is not aware of anything like that. Vice Chair Musick asked if this is a campaign that the
Parks Commission could take on. Commissioner Coggins stated that this is not the time due to a lot of tax increases
that are taking place. Perhaps this is something that the commission could take on in the future.
