418
00:15:04,003 --> 00:15:04,903

419
00:15:04,903 --> 00:15:05,504

429
00:15:28,661 --> 00:15:29,228
REVENUE SHORTFALL, WHICH IS 

430
00:15:29,228 --> 00:15:30,696

RETRO PAYMENT, WHICH IS SIMILAR 

439
00:15:47,346 --> 00:15:48,714
TO HOW WE HANDLED THE LAST ONE 

440
00:15:48,714 --> 00:15:50,249

THE PROGRAM WHOLE, WHICH IS 

494
00:17:57,476 --> 00:17:58,644
IMPORTANT BECAUSE OUR POOLS ARE 

495
00:17:58,644 --> 00:17:59,311
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND ARE 

496
00:17:59,311 --> 00:17:59,978

LATE NOVEMBER, 2024. THE CYCLONE

501
00:18:17,863 --> 00:18:18,831
STORM WHERE A TREE FELL ON IT 

502
00:18:18,831 --> 00:18:20,399
AND DAMAGED THE ROOF. THIS 

503
00:18:20,399 --> 00:18:22,401
HAPPENED SOON AFTER IT WAS 

504
00:18:22,401 --> 00:18:23,001

COMMUNITY EVENTS AT THE PARK. 

507
00:18:24,269 --> 00:18:25,604
THIS FUNDING WOULD SUPPORT A 

508
00:18:25,604 --> 00:18:26,205
REPLACEMENT OF THE CULTURAL 

509
00:18:26,205 --> 00:18:26,972

WEEK, THIS PROPOSED INVESTMENT 

517
00:18:46,258 --> 00:18:46,859
WOULD SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION 

518
00:18:46,859 --> 00:18:47,526
ONCE THE STRATEGY IS FINALIZED. 

519
00:18:47,526 --> 00:18:49,094

HAVE BEEN UPDATED BY THE STATE 

525
00:19:02,407 --> 00:19:03,041

526
00:19:03,041 --> 00:19:07,479

00:19:53,959 --> 00:19:55,394
ARE NO QUESTIONS, I WILL PASS IT

549
00:19:55,394 --> 00:19:59,598
OVER TO JUSTIN. 

550
00:19:59,598 --> 00:20:00,299
>> LET'S HOLD APPEAR, BEFORE WE

551
00:20:00,299 --> 00:20:02,501
MOVE ON. ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS 

552
00:20:02,501 --> 00:20:04,803
POINT? NOT SEEING ANY, I DO HAVE

553
00:20:04,803 --> 00:20:06,772
A QUICK QUESTION. ON THE RACQUET

554
00:20:06,772 --> 00:20:08,607
SPORTS , THE 600,000, IS THAT 

555
00:20:08,607 --> 00:20:13,612
FOR PICKLE BALL ? 

556
00:20:13,612 --> 00:20:15,414
>> IT IS TO SUPPORT 

557
00:20:15,414 --> 00:20:16,048
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RACQUET 

558
00:20:16,048 --> 00:20:16,949
SPORTS STRATEGY. SO IT COULD DO 

559
00:20:16,949 --> 00:20:27,492
SUPPORT RESURFACING FOR PICKLE 

560
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,194
BALL, TENNIS, IT COULD BE 

561
00:20:29,194 --> 00:20:30,095
IMPROVING FENCING, IT COULD BE 

562
00:20:30,095 --> 00:20:31,129
IMPROVING LIGHTING, COULD BE 

563
00:20:31,129 --> 00:20:31,763
DOING DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT IT 

564
00:20:31,763 --> 00:20:33,298
IS RELATED TO THE STRATEGY. 

565
00:20:33,298 --> 00:20:34,132
>> WHAT ABOUT THE OUTDOOR 

566
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:34,566
BASKETBALL COURTS? 

567
00:20:34,566 --> 00:20:35,534
>> SO THERE IS A COURT PROGRAM, 

568
00:20:35,534 --> 00:20:36,902
THAT IS A REGULAR BASELINE 

569
00:20:36,902 --> 00:20:37,569
INVESTMENT. SO THAT CONTINUES, 

570
00:20:37,569 --> 00:20:38,170
THIS IS SPECIFICALLY AN 

571
00:20:38,170 --> 00:20:38,971
ADDITIONAL AD FOR RACQUET 

572
00:20:38,971 --> 00:20:40,239
SPORTS. THE PROPOSED. 

573
00:20:40,239 --> 00:20:43,208
>> IC, RACQUET. GOT IT. ANY 

574
00:20:43,208 --> 00:20:44,710
OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE 

575
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:46,745
ON? COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE HAS A 

576
00:20:46,745 --> 00:20:56,722
QUESTION. OH, VICE PRESIDENT. 

577
00:20:56,722 --> 00:20:57,856

580
00:20:59,324 --> 00:21:00,125
>> VICE PRESIDENT . 

581
00:21:00,125 --> 00:21:00,726
>> VICE PRESIDENT. 

582
00:21:00,726 --> 00:21:03,562
>> I JUST WANTED TAKE THE 

583
00:21:03,562 --> 00:21:05,464
OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK YOU FOR

584
00:21:05,464 --> 00:21:06,865
THE UPDATE RELATED TO POOL 

585
00:21:06,865 --> 00:21:11,370
RESERVATION, RENOVATIONS. AND 

586
00:21:11,370 --> 00:21:12,004
RESERVATIONS. WHICH ARE IMPACTED

587
00:21:12,004 --> 00:21:13,839
BY THE NEED FOR RENOVATIONS. THE

588
00:21:13,839 --> 00:21:22,381
QUEEN AND POOL PIECE IS REALLY 

589
00:21:22,381 --> 00:21:24,149
IMPORTANT. EVERY DAY, NOT EVERY 

590
00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:25,183
DAY, BUT TWO DAYS TO GO IN THE 

591
00:21:25,183 --> 00:21:26,118
MORNING AT A COFFEE SHOP, I'M 

592
00:21:26,118 --> 00:21:28,620
GETTING ASKED ABOUT THE POOL FOR

593
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,122
A HOST OF REASONS. WITH YOUNG 

594
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:30,756
PEOPLE, PRIMARILY THE KIDS WHO 

595
00:21:30,756 --> 00:21:32,591
ARE TAKING LESSONS. SO I REALLY 

596
00:21:32,591 --> 00:21:34,126
APPRECIATE THIS BEING ON HERE IN

597
00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:35,894
TERMS OF THE CARRYFORWARD, AND 

598
00:21:35,894 --> 00:21:37,462
HAVING IT , TO BE FRANK, AT THE 

599
00:21:37,462 --> 00:21:41,767
TOP OF THE LIST. BECAUSE IT IS ,

600
00:21:41,767 --> 00:21:42,668
PARTICULARLY WITH THE MEDGAR 

601
00:21:42,668 --> 00:21:43,235
EVERS POOL, SOMETHING THAT 

602
00:21:43,235 --> 00:21:44,903
REALLY NEEDS TO BE MOVED 

603
00:21:44,903 --> 00:21:46,171
FORWARD. I'M ASSUMING 

604
00:21:46,171 --> 00:21:47,472
EVERYTHING IS MAINTAINING ITS 

605
00:21:47,472 --> 00:21:52,210
TIMETABLE. OKAY. 

606
00:21:52,210 --> 00:21:52,811
>> WE ARE MOVING FORWARD AS 

607
00:21:52,811 --> 00:21:55,113
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE ON THAT 

608
00:21:55,113 --> 00:21:55,347
REPAIR. 

609
00:21:55,347 --> 00:21:59,284
>> GREAT, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, 

610
00:21:59,284 --> 00:21:59,685
MADAM PRESIDENT. 

611
00:21:59,685 --> 00:22:00,752
>> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

612
00:22:00,752 --> 00:22:00,986

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. I WANTED 

614
00:22:02,621 --> 00:22:06,825
TO GO BACK TO SLIDE SEVEN, 

615
00:22:06,825 --> 00:22:14,766
PLEASE. OKAY, SORRY, MAYBE IT 

616
00:22:14,766 --> 00:22:15,667
WAS SIX. MAYBE I WROTE DOWN THE 

617
00:22:15,667 --> 00:22:16,435
WRONG NUMBER. OKAY, I THINK THIS

618
00:22:16,435 --> 00:22:18,370
IS WHERE MAYBE, OH. OKAY. AT 

619
00:22:18,370 --> 00:22:20,172
SOME POINT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT

620
00:22:20,172 --> 00:22:23,675
THE PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING AND 

621
00:22:23,675 --> 00:22:24,910
THE BATHROOMS. I THINK I HAVE 

622
00:22:24,910 --> 00:22:31,850
WRITTEN DOWN THE WRONG SLIDE 

623
00:22:31,850 --> 00:22:32,417
NUMBER HERE, SO THAT IS MY 

624
00:22:32,417 --> 00:22:33,051
POLICY. THANK YOU, HERE WE ARE. 

625
00:22:33,051 --> 00:22:35,053
SO, CAN YOU JUST GO BACK TO THAT

626
00:22:35,053 --> 00:22:37,255
A LITTLE BIT, AND SPEAK TO THE 

627
00:22:37,255 --> 00:22:41,660
PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING PROCESS 

628
00:22:41,660 --> 00:22:42,694
, AND JUST HOW YOU GOT OF THE 

629
00:22:42,694 --> 00:22:43,328
PRIORITIZATION? I ASK BECAUSE WE

630
00:22:43,328 --> 00:22:44,429
JUST HAD A COMMUNITY GROUP ASK 

631
00:22:44,429 --> 00:22:48,700
US , WHO CURRENTLY HAS SOME 

632
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:55,140
SHORT-TERM BUDGETING RESOURCES 

633
00:22:55,140 --> 00:22:55,807
FOR BATHROOM MAINTENANCE, AND WE

634
00:22:55,807 --> 00:22:56,408
WERE INQUIRING ABOUT WHETHER 

635
00:22:56,408 --> 00:22:57,642
THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE FUNDS 

636
00:22:57,642 --> 00:22:58,276
MOVING FORWARD. SO I WANTED TO 

637
00:22:58,276 --> 00:22:59,478
HEAR MORE ABOUT THE 

638
00:22:59,478 --> 00:23:01,480
PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING AND 

639
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:09,254
BATHROOM MAINTENANCE IN 

640
00:23:09,254 --> 00:23:09,554
PARTICULAR. 

641
00:23:09,554 --> 00:23:10,956
>> GREAT QUESTIONS, THANK YOU. I

642
00:23:10,956 --> 00:23:11,957
WILL GET MY YEARS WRONG, BECAUSE

643
00:23:11,957 --> 00:23:12,991
I AM ALWAYS IN BUDGET YEARS, 

644
00:23:12,991 --> 00:23:14,359
WHICH IS THE WRONG YEAR. I 

645
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,128
BELIEVE 2024 WAS WHEN THE 

646
00:23:16,128 --> 00:23:16,595
CURRENT INVESTMENT IN 

647
00:23:16,595 --> 00:23:17,229
PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING FOR US 

648
00:23:17,229 --> 00:23:18,130
WAS PUT IN PLACE IN OUR BUDGET. 

649
00:23:18,130 --> 00:23:19,498
AND IT WAS THE ENTIRE AMOUNT, 

650
00:23:19,498 --> 00:23:30,041
WHICH IS ABOUT $6 MILLION . YES.

651
00:23:34,012 --> 00:23:37,048
WAS PLACED ON THE OPERATING SIDE

652
00:23:37,048 --> 00:23:37,682
OF OUR BUDGET. EVERY YEAR WE ARE

653
00:23:37,682 --> 00:23:38,850
NOT SPENDING THE ENTIRE AMOUNT. 

654
00:23:38,850 --> 00:23:40,118
IT IS LIKE A THREE OR FOUR YOUR 

655
00:23:40,118 --> 00:23:40,919
PROGRAM THAT WE ARE PILOTING 

656
00:23:40,919 --> 00:23:41,686
PERIODS OF THE DIFFERENTIAL, WE 

657
00:23:41,686 --> 00:23:43,555
NEED TO CARRY FORWARD INTO THE 

658
00:23:43,555 --> 00:23:44,356
NEXT YEAR. SO, AS WE LOOK AT, 

659
00:23:44,356 --> 00:23:45,824
AND THE WAY IT ALIGNS WITH THIS 

660
00:23:45,824 --> 00:23:47,259
SLIDE IS IF YOU LOOK ON THE 

661
00:23:47,259 --> 00:23:47,993
OPERATING LINES OF BUSINESS 

662
00:23:47,993 --> 00:23:49,895
WHERE WE SHOW OUR TOTAL PERCENT 

663
00:23:49,895 --> 00:23:51,630
SPENCE, 94%. THAT IS BECAUSE WE 

664
00:23:51,630 --> 00:23:58,670
INTENTIONALLY WERE KNOWING THAT 

665
00:23:58,670 --> 00:24:00,372
WE WERE GOING TO NEED TO CARRY 

666
00:24:00,372 --> 00:24:00,806
FORWARD SOME OF THE 

667
00:24:00,806 --> 00:24:01,406
PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING FUNDS 

668
00:24:01,406 --> 00:24:02,641
INTO THE NEXT YEAR. AND WE ARE 

669
00:24:02,641 --> 00:24:04,509
CARRYING FORWARD, I HAVE IT IN 

670
00:24:04,509 --> 00:24:07,579
MY NOTES , ABOUT $2.1 MILLION OF

671
00:24:07,579 --> 00:24:10,749
THAT. IS CARRIED FORWARD FROM 

672
00:24:10,749 --> 00:24:21,026
2025 TO 2026. PRIMARILY WE HAVE 

673
00:24:21,026 --> 00:24:21,860
BEEN PILOTING AT CAL ANDERSON 

674
00:24:21,860 --> 00:24:23,395
PARK, TO DATE, AND WE PLAN TO 

675
00:24:23,395 --> 00:24:27,799
ADD A SECOND SITE WHICH WE OPEN 

676
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:29,167
THIS WEEK AT FREEWAY PARK, WITH 

677
00:24:29,167 --> 00:24:30,802
THE EVENTUAL INTENT THAT IT WILL

678
00:24:30,802 --> 00:24:31,603
MOVE WHEN THAT RESTROOM OPENS. 

679
00:24:31,603 --> 00:24:33,238
THAT IS OUR PLAN. 

680
00:24:33,238 --> 00:24:37,442
>> AND YOU JUST HANDLED MY 

681
00:24:37,442 --> 00:24:41,847
QUESTION, ACTUALLY, I WOULD BE 

682
00:24:41,847 --> 00:24:42,414
CURIOUS TO KNOW MORE ABOUT 

683
00:24:42,414 --> 00:24:45,450
HAVING A, AS WELL. BUT DO YOU 

684
00:24:45,450 --> 00:24:48,053
ANTICIPATE BEING ABLE TO 

685
00:24:48,053 --> 00:24:50,121
CONTINUE THE SUPPORT FOR FREEWAY

686
00:24:50,121 --> 00:24:57,462
PARK PASS, I WANT TO SAY I 

687
00:24:57,462 --> 00:24:58,096
THOUGHT IT WAS JUST SHORT-TERM, 

688
00:24:58,096 --> 00:24:59,998
LIKE TO THE END OF THIS YEAR FOR

689
00:24:59,998 --> 00:25:00,732
2026. IS THE CURRENT PLAN TO 

690
00:25:00,732 --> 00:25:02,500
HAVE THAT CARRYFORWARD AND 

691
00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:03,768
CONTINUE THE BATHROOM SUPPORT AT

692
00:25:03,768 --> 00:25:06,571
FREEWAY PARK IN 2027 AND BEYOND?

693
00:25:06,705 --> 00:25:07,305
>> SO, THE SECOND SITE WE HAD 

694
00:25:07,305 --> 00:25:08,473
PLANNED AND HAD BEEN APPROVED IS

695
00:25:08,473 --> 00:25:10,475
THE RESTROOMS THAT ARE NOT YET 

696
00:25:10,475 --> 00:25:21,019
OPEN . IT IS A PARTNERSHIP DOWN 

697
00:25:21,019 --> 00:25:22,254
THERE TO OPEN THAT SITE. SO WE 

698
00:25:22,254 --> 00:25:24,055
ARE, IN THE INTERIM, USING THOSE

699
00:25:24,055 --> 00:25:25,257
FUNDS TO SUPPORT ACCESS AT 

700
00:25:25,257 --> 00:25:28,026
FREEWAY PARK. SO IT IS AN 

701
00:25:28,026 --> 00:25:28,860
INTERIM STRATEGY. 

702
00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:29,861
>> UNDERSTOOD, THANK YOU FOR THE

703
00:25:29,861 --> 00:25:30,929
CLARIFICATION. SO IT IS THE 

704
00:25:30,929 --> 00:25:31,997
FUNDS THAT ARE NOT YET 

705
00:25:31,997 --> 00:25:32,964
AVAILABLE, EXCUSE ME, THE FUNDS 

706
00:25:32,964 --> 00:25:35,367
THAT ARE NOT BEING APPLIED 

707
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:36,735
BECAUSE THERE IS MORE WORK THAT 

708
00:25:36,735 --> 00:25:38,236
NEEDS TO HAPPEN SO THERE IS 

709
00:25:38,236 --> 00:25:40,205
CURRENTLY APPLYING THOSE FUNDS 

710
00:25:40,205 --> 00:25:45,977
TO FREEWAY, SO FUTURE SUPPORT 

711
00:25:45,977 --> 00:25:47,145
FOR FREEWAY AS WE GET THE HING 

712
00:25:47,145 --> 00:25:48,513
HAY SITE UP AND RUNNING. OKAY, 

713
00:25:48,513 --> 00:25:52,550
THANK YOU. I HAVE MORE, BUT I 

714
00:25:52,550 --> 00:25:53,351
WILL DO THEM VIA FOLLOW-UP EMAIL

715
00:25:53,351 --> 00:25:54,953
AND COMMUNICATION. SO I AM 

716
00:25:54,953 --> 00:25:58,223
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE 

717
00:25:58,223 --> 00:25:59,457
PILOT AT FREEWAY, OR THE 

718
00:25:59,457 --> 00:26:00,091
TEMPORARY SUPPORT AT FREEWAY. 

719
00:26:00,091 --> 00:26:01,459
AND I WANT TO ALSO MAKE SURE 

720
00:26:01,459 --> 00:26:03,094
THAT IF THAT IS SUCCESSFUL, THAT

721
00:26:03,094 --> 00:26:03,728
WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO 

722
00:26:03,728 --> 00:26:04,696
SUPPORT ITS CONTINUED SUCCESS, 

723
00:26:04,696 --> 00:26:05,564
AND CERTAINLY WOULD NEVER WANT 

724
00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:13,905
TO TAKE AWAY FROM HING HAY AND 

725
00:26:13,905 --> 00:26:14,606
THE RESTROOM ACCESS NEEDED 

726
00:26:14,606 --> 00:26:15,607
THERE. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO 

727
00:26:15,607 --> 00:26:16,675
TALKING ABOUT SOME CREATIVE 

728
00:26:16,675 --> 00:26:16,942
OPTIONS. 

729
00:26:16,942 --> 00:26:17,876

OUR OWN FIELDS AND ALL OF THE 

810
00:29:02,173 --> 00:29:02,941
SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOL FIELDS 

811
00:29:02,941 --> 00:29:04,109

FOR MORE THAN 250 GROUPS. THESE 

816
00:29:11,549 --> 00:29:13,384

ATHLETICS PROGRAMS. SCHOOL TEAMS

818
00:29:16,721 --> 00:29:17,655
AND COMMUNITY USERS, LIKE THE 

819
00:29:17,655 --> 00:29:21,226
AGE OF PROGRAM PICTURED HERE. IF

820
00:29:21,226 --> 00:29:22,660
YOU DO THE MATH, THAT REPRESENTS

821
00:29:22,660 --> 00:29:23,628
700 HOURS OF SCHEDULED FIELD 

822
00:29:23,628 --> 00:29:26,664
TIME EVERY DAY ACROSS THE CITY, 

823
00:29:26,664 --> 00:29:28,600
SO THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING. AND 

824
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,801
WE KEEP WORKING ON WAYS TO GET 

825
00:29:29,801 --> 00:29:30,769
MORE FOLKS AND NEWLY EMERGING 

826
00:29:30,769 --> 00:29:37,509
USERS ON OUR FIELDS. WE UPDATED 

827
00:29:37,509 --> 00:29:38,810
OUR FIELD SCHEDULING POLICY, SO 

828
00:29:38,810 --> 00:29:39,410
THAT AS NEW FIELD TIME COMES 

829
00:29:39,410 --> 00:29:42,213
ONLINE, WE PRIORITIZE NEWLY 

830
00:29:42,213 --> 00:29:45,316
EMERGING USERS IN SPORTS. IN 

831
00:29:45,316 --> 00:29:46,785
WHICH YOU, AS ALWAYS, WE HAVE 

832
00:29:46,785 --> 00:29:48,386
CONTINUED A RECENT TRADITION OF 

833
00:29:48,386 --> 00:29:51,089
KEEPING 10 FIELDS UNSCHEDULED 

834
00:29:51,089 --> 00:29:53,057
FOR WINTER AND SUMMER, FOR DROP 

835
00:29:53,057 --> 00:30:01,633
IN USE AND SPONTANEOUS PLAY. TO 

836
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:02,800
MAKE SURE THESE FIELDS ARE IN 

837
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,302
PLAYABLE CONDITION, WE ARE IN A 

838
00:30:04,302 --> 00:30:04,836
CONTINUAL CYCLE OF ASSET 

839
00:30:04,836 --> 00:30:08,139
MANAGEMENT ACROSS THE SYSTEM. IN

840
00:30:08,139 --> 00:30:09,407
CYCLE TWO, WE SET GOALS AROUND 

841
00:30:09,407 --> 00:30:11,142
WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IN TERMS OF

842
00:30:11,142 --> 00:30:11,743
CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT AND ASSET 

843
00:30:11,743 --> 00:30:12,710
MANAGEMENT FOR OUR ATHLETIC 

844
00:30:12,710 --> 00:30:17,148
FIELDS. IN THAT 2023 TO 2028 

845
00:30:17,148 --> 00:30:19,350
PERIOD. SO WE SET A GOAL TO 

846
00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:24,756
REPLACE 8 TO 10 SYNTHETIC TURF 

847
00:30:24,756 --> 00:30:25,590
FIELDS, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, 

848
00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:27,392
EVERY 10 OR SO YEARS ARTIFICIAL 

849
00:30:27,392 --> 00:30:30,595
TURF FIELD HAS TO UNDERGO MAJOR 

850
00:30:30,595 --> 00:30:32,830
RENOVATIONS. SO WE SET A GOAL OF

851
00:30:32,830 --> 00:30:38,770
REPLACING EIGHT TO 10 FIELDS BY 

852
00:30:38,770 --> 00:30:39,537
2028. WE COMPLETED THREE OF 

853
00:30:39,537 --> 00:30:41,639
THOSE IN 2025 FOR A CYCLE TO 

854
00:30:41,639 --> 00:30:44,275
DATE TOTAL OF EIGHT. WE ARE 

855
00:30:44,275 --> 00:30:44,909
CONFIDENT IN REACHING THAT GOAL.

856
00:30:44,909 --> 00:30:48,646
WE SET A GOAL TO CONVERT TWO NEW

857
00:30:48,646 --> 00:30:49,280
FIELDS TO ARTIFICIAL TURF, SO 

858
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,381
TAKING GRASS FIELDS AND MAKING 

859
00:30:50,381 --> 00:30:53,852
THEM ARTIFICIAL TURF FOR THE 

860
00:30:53,852 --> 00:30:55,119
FIRST TIME. THOSE ARE GOING TO 

861
00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:56,087
BE SOUTHPARK AND SOUNDVIEW, SO 

862
00:30:56,087 --> 00:31:01,626
IN THE WORLD OF , IN THE TIME 

863
00:31:01,626 --> 00:31:02,527
MACHINE WORLD OF THIS REPORT, 

864
00:31:02,527 --> 00:31:03,494
THEY WERE IN CONSTRUCTION. AS 

865
00:31:03,494 --> 00:31:04,762
YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE SINCE COME 

866
00:31:04,762 --> 00:31:05,997
TO COMPLETION. SO WE ARE HEADING

867
00:31:05,997 --> 00:31:07,465
THAT TARGET AS WELL. AND WE ARE 

868
00:31:07,465 --> 00:31:08,700
ALSO COMMITTED TO A NEWLY 

869
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:09,367
ESTABLISHED GOAL, RENOVATING, 

870
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:14,739
CONVERTING SEVEN INFIELDS. THINK

871
00:31:14,739 --> 00:31:16,040
BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL INFIELDS. 

872
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,008
FOUR ARE DONE SO FAR, TWO OF 

873
00:31:17,008 --> 00:31:19,410
THOSE WERE AT BALLARD IN 2025. 

874
00:31:19,410 --> 00:31:21,479
AND I JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT 

875
00:31:21,479 --> 00:31:23,248
WHEN WE DO THESE KINDS OF FIELD 

876
00:31:23,248 --> 00:31:24,115
CONVERSIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS, IT 

877
00:31:24,115 --> 00:31:28,953
OPENS UP NEW PLAYTIME THAT WE 

878
00:31:28,953 --> 00:31:30,255
DID NOT HAVE BEFORE. SO IF YOU 

879
00:31:30,255 --> 00:31:31,422
PUT ARTIFICIAL TURF ON A FIELD, 

880
00:31:31,422 --> 00:31:33,391
IT GETS YOU MORE WINTERTIME 

881
00:31:33,391 --> 00:31:34,525
PLAY, IF YOU PUT LIGHTS AND 

882
00:31:34,525 --> 00:31:40,431
GETTING MORE EVENING PLAY, SO 

883
00:31:40,431 --> 00:31:41,099
BOTH AT SOUNDVIEW AND SOUTHPARK,

884
00:31:41,099 --> 00:31:42,734
WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK TO TRY

885
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:45,103
TO CONNECT COMMUNITY USERS AND 

886
00:31:45,103 --> 00:31:46,971
NEWLY EMERGING SPORTS TO THAT 

887
00:31:46,971 --> 00:31:50,141
FIELD TIME. WE ARE EXCITED TO 

888
00:31:50,141 --> 00:31:50,708
TELL YOU ABOUT THAT AS THEY 

889
00:31:50,708 --> 00:31:51,609
ROLLOUT IN 2026. LOOKING AT OUR 

890
00:31:51,609 --> 00:31:54,379
PROGRAMMING , LIFELONG 

891
00:31:54,379 --> 00:32:04,656
RECREATION IS OUR PROGRAMMING 

892

THE PROGRAM CELEBRATED ITS 50th 

894
00:32:07,325 --> 00:32:08,559
YEAR THIS YEAR, SO IT'S FINALLY

895
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:09,127
OLD ENOUGH TO GO TO ITS OWN 

896
00:32:09,127 --> 00:32:10,495
PROGRAMS. AS YOU KNOW, AS PARKS,

897
00:32:10,495 --> 00:32:11,262
WE OPERATE SENIOR CENTERS OR 

898
00:32:11,262 --> 00:32:12,363
SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS THE WAY 

899
00:32:12,363 --> 00:32:13,097
SOME PARKS AND RECREATION 

900
00:32:13,097 --> 00:32:14,065
AGENCIES AROUND THE COUNTRY DO. 

901
00:32:14,065 --> 00:32:22,740
THAT IS DONE REALLY WELL BY CITY

902
00:32:22,740 --> 00:32:24,609
HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT, 

903

INCREASE THAT GOAL. I JUST 

919
00:32:56,774 --> 00:32:58,309

940
00:33:29,674 --> 00:33:30,675

985
00:35:04,669 --> 00:35:06,170
THAT'S A BIG STEP FORWARD AND 

986
00:35:06,170 --> 00:35:12,143

DECARBONIZATION PROJECTS AND 

996
00:35:25,056 --> 00:35:26,257
DIVE DEEPER INTO THE DESIGN WORK

997
00:35:26,257 --> 00:35:28,759

998
00:35:28,759 --> 00:35:33,498

999
00:35:33,498 --> 00:35:34,232

VARIETY OF FUTURE PARKS SITES 

1088

1089
00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:36,647
LAND SITES, TO BE DEVELOPED INTO

1090
00:38:36,647 --> 00:38:47,091
PARKS ONCE RESOURCES WERE 

1091
00:38:47,658 --> 00:38:48,626

1092
00:38:48,626 --> 00:38:49,327
DELAYED BY PANDEMIC ERA 

1093
00:38:49,327 --> 00:38:50,594
FINANCIAL ISSUES, BUT WE

00:39:14,552 --> 00:39:15,653
TWO PROJECTS, THOSE AT MAGNUSON 

1105
00:39:15,653 --> 00:39:16,687

IN VARIOUS STAGES OF PLANNING OR

1111
00:39:24,128 --> 00:39:25,429

00:39:25,429 --> 00:39:27,364
WILL MEET THAT GOAL AS WELL. MY 

1113
00:39:27,364 --> 00:39:30,334
LAST SUBSTANTIVE TOPIC FOR YOU 

1114
00:39:30,334 --> 00:39:31,502

1125
00:39:53,557 --> 00:40:00,598
ADDITIONAL 10 IN 2025. WHICH, 

1126
00:40:00,598 --> 00:40:01,632
ALTOGETHER, MEANS THAT 103 OF 

1127
00:40:01,632 --> 00:40:05,169
OUR 129 RESTROOMS ARE CAPABLE OF

1128

>> WHICH IS AN ONGOING CHALLENGE

1346
00:47:44,761 --> 00:47:45,262
BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING 

1347
00:47:45,262 --> 00:47:45,929

THEY ARE DESIGNATED FOR, AND THE

1359
00:48:21,098 --> 00:48:21,732
AMOUNTS FOR THOSE. I'M JUST 

1360
00:48:21,732 --> 00:48:22,399
THINKING ABOUT, OBVIOUSLY THERE 

1361
00:48:22,399 --> 00:48:24,167
IS SO MUCH NEED IN THE CHILDCARE

1362
00:48:24,167 --> 00:48:24,835
SPACE, AND TRYING TO UNDERSTAND 

1363
00:48:24,835 --> 00:48:25,602
THE PARKS APPROACH COMPARED TO 

1364
00:48:25,602 --> 00:48:26,670
SOME OF THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS 

1365
00:48:26,670 --> 00:48:31,942
WORKING ON CHILDCARE SUBSIDIES. 

1366
00:48:31,942 --> 00:48:34,444
>> I THINK IT MIGHT BE BEST IF I

00:48:34,444 --> 00:48:35,579
GET YOU THAT OFF-LINE, TO GET 

1368
00:48:35,579 --> 00:48:37,147

ALL. BUT I DON'T HAVE IT OFF 

1370
00:48:38,649 --> 00:48:40,684
THE TOP OF MY BRAIN IN TERMS OF 

1371
00:48:40,684 --> 00:48:43,687
THE ANNUAL SALARIES THAT PEOPLE 

1372
00:48:43,687 --> 00:48:44,955
NEED TO SHOW. BUT WE HAVE IT 

1373
00:48:44,955 --> 00:48:46,723
ALL, AND WE ARE ACTUALLY A 

1374
00:48:46,723 --> 00:48:49,026
PRETTY GENERIC -- GENEROUS OF 

1375
00:48:49,026 --> 00:48:49,826
THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS. WE 

1376
00:48:49,826 --> 00:48:52,863
ACCEPT STATE MONEY, THEN WE HAVE

1377
00:48:52,863 --> 00:48:54,665
OUR OWN PROGRAM. SO IT'S THE 

1378
00:48:54,665 --> 00:48:59,636
SAME APPLICATION AND 

1379
00:48:59,636 --> 00:49:00,537
QUALIFICATIONS YOU WOULD DO IF 

1380
00:49:00,537 --> 00:49:01,838
YOU ARE GOING TO CHILDCARE OR IF

1381
00:49:01,838 --> 00:49:03,840
YOU ARE GOING TO A YOGA CLASS OR

1382
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,777
WHATEVER YOU QUALIFY WANTS.

IT'S AVAILABLE. 

1384
00:49:07,210 --> 00:49:08,111
>> THAT'S FANTASTIC, AND I 

1385
00:49:08,111 --> 00:49:09,680
WOULD LOVE TO FOLLOW UP ON WHAT 

1386
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,114
THE AMI CUT OFF IS, AS WELL AS 

1387
00:49:11,114 --> 00:49:14,484
WHAT THE AVERAGE SUBSIDY OR 

1388
00:49:14,484 --> 00:49:16,186
SCHOLARSHIP IS. PER FAMILY. IF 

1389
00:49:16,186 --> 00:49:17,754
YOU CAN DO THAT BY FOLLOW-UP, I 

1390
00:49:17,754 --> 00:49:20,090
WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. 

1391
00:49:20,090 --> 00:49:25,696
>> CHILDCARE WENT UP TO 90% 

1392
00:49:25,696 --> 00:49:26,730
SUBSIDIES, I WOULD SAY MOST OF 

1393
00:49:26,730 --> 00:49:28,665
OUR PEOPLE ARE CLOSE TO THE 80 

1394
00:49:28,665 --> 00:49:31,134
OR 90% LEVEL. BUT WE CAN GET YOU

1395
00:49:31,134 --> 00:49:31,635

THINGS IN PART OF PLANNING THAT 

1424
00:50:33,230 --> 00:50:35,132
MADE IT LESS LINEAR , WE DID 

1425

SOME GROUPINGS OF BIDDING WITH 

1426
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:37,834
CONSTRUCTION PARTNERS IN ORDER 

1427
00:50:37,834 --> 00:50:41,405

EACH OF THE 27 OUT SEPARATELY. 

1429
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:46,743

UP, BUT WE ARE FEELING CONFIDENT

1431
00:50:52,749 --> 00:50:54,217

SYNTHETIC TURF FIELD 

1486
00:52:57,741 --> 00:53:02,179
REPLACEMENTS, TWO FULL FIELD, 

1487
00:53:02,179 --> 00:53:03,079
AND SEVEN INFIELD CONVERSIONS, I

1488
00:53:03,079 --> 00:53:04,581
WOULD LOVE A LIST OFF-LINE OF 

1489
00:53:04,581 --> 00:53:06,016

1490
00:53:06,016 --> 00:53:10,854

1491
00:53:10,854 --> 00:53:12,789
APPRECIATE THAT. NOW, WITH 

1492
00:53:12,789 --> 00:53:14,891
RESPECT TO SOME OF THE INFIELD 

1493
00:53:14,891 --> 00:53:16,126
TURF CONVERSION PROJECTS, SO, A 

1494
00:53:16,126 --> 00:53:20,130
COUPLE YEARS AGO THIS COUNCIL 

1495
00:53:20,130 --> 00:53:25,368
PAST A SET OF APPROPRIATIONS TO 

1496
00:53:25,368 --> 00:53:27,204
FUND THREE INFIELD TURF 

1497
00:53:27,204 --> 00:53:31,575
CONVERSION PROJECTS . ONE , I 

1498
00:53:31,575 --> 00:53:36,580
THINK, GARFIELD . ONE, I 

1499
00:53:36,580 --> 00:53:38,114
BELIEVE, MAYBE IT WAS WOODLAND 

1500
00:53:38,114 --> 00:53:39,115
PARK? AND ANOTHER AT FAIRMONT 

1501
00:53:39,115 --> 00:53:42,118
PARK PLAYFIELD. MY UNDERSTANDING

1502
00:53:42,118 --> 00:53:45,155
IS AT LEAST , CORRECT ME IF I'M

1503
00:53:45,155 --> 00:53:51,428
WRONG, BUT CONSTRUCTION AT 

1504
00:53:51,428 --> 00:53:52,028
EITHER WOODLAND PARK AND/OR 

1505
00:53:52,028 --> 00:53:52,829
GARFIELD IS ALREADY UNDERWAY OR 

1506
00:53:52,829 --> 00:53:54,397
ABOUT TO BEGIN SHORTLY. MAYBE , 

1507
00:53:54,397 --> 00:53:55,999
AGAIN, CORRECT ME IF MY 

1508
00:53:55,999 --> 00:53:56,733
UNDERSTANDING IS OFF IN ANY WAY.

1509
00:53:56,733 --> 00:53:57,867
CAN YOU HELP US BETTER 

1510
00:53:57,867 --> 00:53:58,802
UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT STATUS OF

1511
00:53:58,802 --> 00:54:02,672
THE FAIRMONT PARK PLAYFIELD TURF

1512
00:54:02,672 --> 00:54:03,440
CONVERSION PROJECT? RELATIVE TO 

1513
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:13,750
THOSE OTHER ONES. 

1514
00:54:16,586 --> 00:54:18,388
>> YOU AND TO SLIDE 13 AND I 

1515
00:54:18,388 --> 00:54:19,422
SAID OH NO, I DON'T HAVE AN 

1516
00:54:19,422 --> 00:54:20,590
UPDATE ON FAIRMOUNT PARK. SO 

1517
00:54:20,590 --> 00:54:21,825
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GET YOU 

1518
00:54:21,825 --> 00:54:23,326
THAT OFF-LINE. I KNOW WE GAVE 

1519
00:54:23,326 --> 00:54:24,294
YOU AN UPDATE AT OUR LAST 

1520
00:54:24,294 --> 00:54:25,295
MEETING, BUT I'LL HAVE A 

1521
00:54:25,295 --> 00:54:26,496
FURTHER UPDATE AT THIS TIME. BUT

1522
00:54:26,496 --> 00:54:27,931
I DEFINITELY WILL, I KNOW IT HAS

1523
00:54:27,931 --> 00:54:29,165
BEEN A PRIORITY PROJECT FOR US, 

1524
00:54:29,165 --> 00:54:30,367
SO IT IS NOT FORGOTTEN, FOR 

1525
00:54:30,367 --> 00:54:31,468
SURE. THE GARFIELD PROJECT AS 

1526
00:54:31,468 --> 00:54:32,435
PART OF THE GARFIELD SUPERBLOCK 

1527
00:54:32,435 --> 00:54:33,436
AND LOWER WOODLAND IS JUST 

1528
00:54:33,436 --> 00:54:34,437
GETTING STARTED. SO I APOLOGIZE 

1529
00:54:34,437 --> 00:54:38,875
THAT I DID NOT COME PREPARED 

1530
00:54:38,875 --> 00:54:40,310
WITH THAT FACT, BUT I WILL GET 

1531
00:54:40,310 --> 00:54:41,244
IT FOR YOU BEFORE TOMORROW. 

1532
00:54:41,244 --> 00:54:42,412
>> YEAH, MY OFFICE HAS BEEN 

1533
00:54:42,412 --> 00:54:43,980
ASKING ABOUT THAT OFF-LINE SINCE

1534
00:54:43,980 --> 00:54:44,914
YESTERDAY, SO THAT YOUR 

1535
00:54:44,914 --> 00:54:45,949
DEPARTMENT DID NOT COME PREPARED

1536
00:54:45,949 --> 00:54:47,651
FOR IT IS KIND OF DISAPPOINTING,

1537
00:54:47,651 --> 00:54:51,321
BUT OKAY, GARFIELD IS PART OF A 

1538
00:54:51,321 --> 00:54:53,590
BROADER PROJECT . OKAY, 

1539
00:54:53,590 --> 00:54:57,060
UNDERSTOOD. WOODLAND IS ALREADY 

1540
00:54:57,060 --> 00:55:00,530
UNDERWAY. AT FAIRMONT IS NOT. 

1541
00:55:00,530 --> 00:55:11,074
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT MIGHT BE? 

1542
00:55:11,408 --> 00:55:13,176
>> I THINK LOWER WOODLAND HAD 

1543
00:55:13,176 --> 00:55:14,144
PARTIAL FUNDING AHEAD OF TIME, 

1544
00:55:14,144 --> 00:55:15,679
BUT I WILL CHECK AND GET BACK TO

1545
00:55:15,679 --> 00:55:15,979
YOU. 

1546
00:55:15,979 --> 00:55:17,080
>> THEY WERE ALL FUNDED EQUALLY 

1547
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:18,081
DURING THE SAME COUNCIL BUDGET 

1548
00:55:18,081 --> 00:55:19,115
YEAR TWO YEARS AGO. 

1549
00:55:19,115 --> 00:55:20,317
>> I APOLOGIZE, I DON'T HAVE 

1550
00:55:20,317 --> 00:55:20,750
THAT INFORMATION. 

1551
00:55:20,750 --> 00:55:22,452
>> I'M VERY KEEN TO UNDERSTAND

00:55:31,327 --> 00:55:32,462

>> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. 

1561
00:55:39,803 --> 00:55:42,372
I'M GOING TO START OFF WITH MY 

1562
00:55:42,372 --> 00:55:43,840
MOMENT OF GRATITUDE, THEN ASK 

1563
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:44,841
ABOUT A COUPLE OF SPECIFIC 

1564
00:55:44,841 --> 00:55:46,409
PARKS. MOMENT OF GRATITUDE WITH 

1565
00:55:46,409 --> 00:55:55,585
SMITH COVE, COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE

1566
00:55:55,585 --> 00:55:56,886
DISAGREES WITH ME, BUT I CALL A 

1567
00:55:56,886 --> 00:55:57,721
DISPUTED TERRITORY BECAUSE WE'VE

1568
00:55:57,721 --> 00:55:58,655
BEEN WATCHING AFTER SMITH COVE 

1569
00:55:58,655 --> 00:55:59,989
FOR SO MANY DIFFERENT YEARS AND 

1570
00:55:59,989 --> 00:56:01,324
I AM SO HAPPY IT'S UNDERWAY. I 

1571
00:56:01,324 --> 00:56:02,792
ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR 

1572
00:56:02,792 --> 00:56:04,027
SOUNDVIEW, WHICH USED TO BE IN 

1573
00:56:04,027 --> 00:56:05,228
DISTRICT 6, AND WAS TAKEN OUT. 

1574
00:56:05,228 --> 00:56:06,296
JUST REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR WORK

1575
00:56:06,296 --> 00:56:07,597
THERE ON SOUNDVIEW, GETTING THAT

1576
00:56:07,597 --> 00:56:14,003
UNDERWAY. YOU GOT UP THE BALLARD

1577
00:56:14,003 --> 00:56:14,537
COMMUNITY CENTER INFIELD 

1578
00:56:14,537 --> 00:56:15,839
RENOVATIONS. CAN YOU REMIND ME, 

1579
00:56:15,839 --> 00:56:17,941
DURING THE PANDEMIC , I BELIEVE 

1580
00:56:17,941 --> 00:56:28,451
THAT THIS WAS AN ENTIRE FIELD 

1581
00:56:31,588 --> 00:56:32,589
TURF REPLACEMENT BECAUSE OF SOME

1582
00:56:32,589 --> 00:56:33,323
OF THE PANDEMIC CHALLENGES, WE 

1583
00:56:33,323 --> 00:56:34,124
REDUCED IT TO JUST THE INFIELD. 

1584
00:56:34,124 --> 00:56:35,658
CAN YOU REMIND ME OF WHAT 

1585
00:56:35,658 --> 00:56:36,025
HAPPENED THERE? 

1586
00:56:36,025 --> 00:56:37,193
>> I WOULD HAVE TO GET YOU MORE 

1587
00:56:37,193 --> 00:56:38,428
DETAILS ON THAT. MY RECOLLECTION

1588
00:56:38,428 --> 00:56:39,896
IS THAT THE OUTFIELD IS A GRASS 

1589
00:56:39,896 --> 00:56:42,398
TURF RENOVATION, COUPLED WITH 

1590
00:56:42,398 --> 00:56:43,099
THE INFIELD SYNTHETIC 

1591
00:56:43,099 --> 00:56:53,643
CONVERSION. BUT I WILL FAX CHECK

1592
00:56:54,911 --> 00:56:55,345
YOUR MEMORY, AS WELL. 

1593
00:56:55,345 --> 00:56:56,613
>> THAT'S ALL WE CAN JUST GO 

1594
00:56:56,613 --> 00:56:58,848
OFF OF MEMORY ON THIS. IT WOULD 

1595
00:56:58,848 --> 00:56:59,516
BE HELPFUL TO FOLLOW-UP, BECAUSE

1596
00:56:59,516 --> 00:57:00,150
WE ARE RECEIVING REPORTS THAT 

1597
00:57:00,150 --> 00:57:01,785
THE INFIELD IMPROVEMENTS ARE 

1598
00:57:01,785 --> 00:57:02,385
MAKING THE OUTFIELD DRAINAGE 

1599
00:57:02,385 --> 00:57:03,052
WORSE. SO I JUST WANT TO CHECK 

1600
00:57:03,052 --> 00:57:10,527
IN ON THAT. THE IS, THE 

1601
00:57:10,527 --> 00:57:11,127
METROPOLITAN PARKS DISTRICT 

1602
00:57:11,127 --> 00:57:11,961
CYCLE IS REALLY IMPORTANT, 

1603
00:57:11,961 --> 00:57:12,562
SIX-YEAR CYCLE, SOMETIMES 

1604
00:57:12,562 --> 00:57:14,197
UNANTICIPATED ISSUES COME UP. 

1605
00:57:14,197 --> 00:57:19,436
FOR INSTANCE, WE HAVE THE 

1606
00:57:19,436 --> 00:57:20,737
VISITOR CENTER AT DISCOVERY 

1607
00:57:20,737 --> 00:57:22,639
PARK, THAT HAD A FLOOD AND TOOK 

1608
00:57:22,639 --> 00:57:23,273
OUT THE LOGICAL SYSTEM THERE. I 

1609
00:57:23,273 --> 00:57:23,973
KNOW THAT IT IS ENCLOSED FOR 

1610
00:57:23,973 --> 00:57:25,675
SOME TIME. YOU HAVE ANY UPDATES 

1611
00:57:25,675 --> 00:57:27,644
ON WHAT IS REQUIRED, AND THAT 

1612
00:57:27,644 --> 00:57:34,384
WOULD BE WHEN WE ARE SCHEDULED 

1613
00:57:34,384 --> 00:57:35,885
TO REOPEN? I KNOW IT'S GOING TO

1614
00:57:35,885 --> 00:57:37,053
BE A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT WHAT 

1615
00:57:37,053 --> 00:57:38,221

00:58:12,388 --> 00:58:13,022
PERPETUAL CYCLE OF IT'S GOING 

1630

ANY UPDATES ON THAT PARK? 

1632
00:58:15,291 --> 00:58:16,392
>> CONSTRUCTION IS SUPPOSED TO

1634
00:58:17,894 --> 00:58:19,329
CONTRACTORS ON BOARD AND THEY 

1635
00:58:19,329 --> 00:58:20,730

>> SO, IN TWO WEEKS? THAT'S 

1637
00:58:32,876 --> 00:58:33,109
FANTASTIC. 

1638
00:58:33,109 --> 00:58:33,510

1639
00:58:33,510 --> 00:58:34,110
>> OKAY, THAT'S FAIR. I SEE 

1640
00:58:34,110 --> 00:58:34,777

1641
00:58:34,777 --> 00:58:35,411
I APPRECIATE THAT SO MUCH. AND 

1642
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:37,046
IN THE LAST ROUND OF 

1643
00:58:37,046 --> 00:58:37,714
METROPOLITAN PARKS DISTRICT 

1644
00:58:37,714 --> 00:58:38,348
FUNDING, THERE WAS, I WOULD JUST

1645
00:58:38,348 --> 00:58:42,986
CALL IT A DISAGREEMENT , 

1646
00:58:42,986 --> 00:58:44,220
TENSION, MAYBE DIFFERENCE OF 

1647
00:58:44,220 --> 00:58:44,754
OPINION BETWEEN THE PARKS 

1648
00:58:44,754 --> 00:58:45,388
DEPARTMENT AND COMMUNITY ABOUT 

1649
00:58:45,388 --> 00:58:46,689
GREEN LAKE COMMUNITY CENTER. 

1650
00:58:46,689 --> 00:58:53,396
WHETHER HE SHOULD BE LEAVE THE 

1651
00:58:53,396 --> 00:58:54,731
COMMUNITY CENTER AS IT IS AND 

1652
00:58:54,731 --> 00:58:58,401
BUILD THE POOL HOUSE, OR SOME 

1653
00:58:58,401 --> 00:59:00,203
AMALGAMATION OF THAT. WE PUT IN 

1654
00:59:00,203 --> 00:59:00,870
THE METROPOLITAN PARKS DISTRICT 

1655
00:59:00,870 --> 00:59:02,205
FUNDING THAT HAD TO BE A FULL 

1656
00:59:02,205 --> 00:59:03,406
RENOVATION OR EXPANSION, OR 

1657
00:59:03,406 --> 00:59:07,543
REBUILT. SINCE THAT TIME, THE 

1658
00:59:07,543 --> 00:59:09,078
PARKS DEPARTMENT HAS STARTED 

1659
00:59:09,078 --> 00:59:10,480
TALKING ABOUT PHASING, BUT IN 

1660
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,182
THE BUDGET LAST YEAR, IT WAS 

1661
00:59:13,182 --> 00:59:14,584
SHARED WITH US THAT THE FUNDING 

1662
00:59:14,584 --> 00:59:16,519
THAT WAS ADDED IN THE GENERAL 

1663
00:59:16,519 --> 00:59:18,755
FUND WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO 

1664
00:59:18,755 --> 00:59:21,257
UNFAZED THAT PROJECT. WHAT IS 

1665
00:59:21,257 --> 00:59:22,292
THE STATUS OF THE PARKS 

1666
00:59:22,292 --> 00:59:23,259
DEPARTMENT PERSPECTIVE ON 

1667
00:59:23,259 --> 00:59:26,729
PHASING OR ON PHASING, ARE WE 

1668
00:59:26,729 --> 00:59:29,966
ABLE TO LIVE UP TO THE 

1669
00:59:29,966 --> 00:59:30,633
COMMITMENTS THAT WERE MADE LAST 

1670
00:59:30,633 --> 00:59:31,200
YEAR? 

1671
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,137

CONTRACTORS, WE ARE REALLY 

1675
00:59:44,547 --> 00:59:46,182
EXCITED TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF 

1676
00:59:46,182 --> 00:59:47,583
PARTNER ON THAT PROJECT WITH US.

1677
00:59:47,583 --> 00:59:49,652
THEY ARE HELPING US GET MUCH 

1678
00:59:49,652 --> 00:59:50,987
BETTER ESTIMATES ON THE VARIOUS 

1679
00:59:50,987 --> 00:59:52,755
OPTIONS, AND I THINK WE ARE 

1680
00:59:52,755 --> 00:59:59,162
SCHEDULED TO PREVIEW NEXT WEEK 

1681
00:59:59,162 --> 00:59:59,829
AND THEN GO TO THE PUBLIC IN 

1682
00:59:59,829 --> 01:00:02,031

1683
01:00:02,031 --> 01:00:02,699
AS ONE PROJECT. 

1684
01:00:02,699 --> 01:00:03,366
>> SO, NOT HAVING TO FACE THE 

1685
01:00:03,366 --> 01:00:04,834
POOL HOUSE AND THE COMMUNITY 

1686
01:00:04,834 --> 01:00:05,535
CENTER. 

1687
01:00:05,535 --> 01:00:13,843
>> ALL AS ONE PROJECT. 

1688

1689
01:00:15,144 --> 01:00:15,812
GOING TO COME BACK AND SAY SOME 

1690

OF THESE PARKS, LIKE SMITH COVE 

1691
01:00:16,980 --> 01:00:18,214
PARK, LIKE SOUNDVIEW, MAN, I 

1692
01:00:18,214 --> 01:00:19,482

1693
01:00:19,482 --> 01:00:21,884
OTHER PARKS OUT THERE THAT HAVE 

1694
01:00:21,884 --> 01:00:22,518

1695
01:00:22,518 --> 01:00:26,189
TAKEN A LONG TIME , AND AS SOON 

1696
01:00:26,189 --> 01:00:27,523
AS THOSE PROJECTS ARE DONE IT 

1697
01:00:27,523 --> 01:00:28,858
FELT LIKE WE DID NOT WAIT A 

1698
01:00:28,858 --> 01:00:30,326
MOMENT. SO I'M GOING TO END ON 

1699
01:00:30,326 --> 01:00:31,694
THAT POSITIVE MOMENT, THANK YOU 

1700
01:00:31,694 --> 01:00:32,829
FOR GETTING THESE THINGS DONE, 

1701
01:00:32,829 --> 01:00:39,035
BECAUSE AS I WENT PAST SOUNDVIEW

1702
01:00:39,035 --> 01:00:39,669
THE OTHER DAY, KIDS WERE PLAYING

1703
01:00:39,669 --> 01:00:40,336
ON THE FIELD, I TOTALLY FORGOT 

1704
01:00:40,336 --> 01:00:41,904
ABOUT ALL OF THE YEARS OF 

1705
01:00:41,904 --> 01:00:47,210
TENSION , AND WE HAVE THE 

1706
01:00:47,210 --> 01:00:48,778
MOMENTS IN OUR BUDGET WILL WE 

1707
01:00:48,778 --> 01:00:50,146
SAY WE ARE GOING TO FUND THIS 

1708
01:00:50,146 --> 01:00:52,081
THING, AND , YOU KNOW, YOU 

1709
01:00:52,081 --> 01:00:53,449
CAN'T TOUCH IT. YOU CAN'T FEEL

1710
01:00:53,449 --> 01:01:03,960
IT, YOU CAN'T SENSE IT. AND 

1711
01:01:06,696 --> 01:01:07,397
WHEN THAT PROJECT GETS OPEN, IT 

1712
01:01:07,397 --> 01:01:08,031
JUST MAKES A LOT OF DIFFERENCE 

1713
01:01:08,031 --> 01:01:09,732
FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. SO I'M

1714
01:01:09,732 --> 01:01:10,700

SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS 

1756
01:02:32,615 --> 01:02:33,750

01:02:50,867 --> 01:02:51,701
MEET AFTER FOR FAMILIES. 

1766
01:02:51,701 --> 01:02:52,401
>> I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER 

1767
01:02:52,401 --> 01:02:53,870

1768
01:02:53,870 --> 01:02:56,339
GOOD ONE, ON GETTING BACK TO US,

1769
01:02:56,339 --> 01:02:58,474
THE PERCENTAGE ON THE AMI, HOW 

1770
01:02:58,474 --> 01:03:00,042
MANY KIDS ARE BEING SERVED. WE 

1771
01:03:00,042 --> 01:03:02,912

01:03:02,912 --> 01:03:03,913

1773
01:03:03,913 --> 01:03:11,420
HOLDING BRICK AND MORTAR

>> THANK YOU. SO, WE WALKED OR 

1816
01:04:33,269 --> 01:04:33,903
THE CONTENT OF THIS CARRYFORWARD

1817
01:04:33,903 --> 01:04:35,104
EARLIER, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO 

1818
01:04:35,104 --> 01:04:35,738
PROVIDE A FEW REMINDERS. SO THE 

1819
01:04:35,738 --> 01:04:37,073
PARK DISTRICT -RELATED 

1820
01:04:37,073 --> 01:04:37,873
LEGISLATION REQUIRES APPROVAL 

1821
01:04:37,873 --> 01:04:42,178
ACTING AS THE MPD GOVERNING 

1822
01:04:42,178 --> 01:04:42,745
BOARD AS WELL AS THE CITY 

1823
01:04:42,745 --> 01:04:43,713
COUNCIL. WE THEREFORE ALSO 

1824
01:04:43,713 --> 01:04:44,480
INCLUDED THESE ITEMS AND MIDYEAR

1825
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,816
SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET ON THE CITY 

1826
01:04:46,816 --> 01:04:48,584
SIDE . OUR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT

1827
01:04:48,584 --> 01:04:51,988
THE CITY SIDE LEGISLATION WILL 

1828
01:04:51,988 --> 01:04:52,555
BE TRANSMITTED TO COUNCIL 

1829
01:04:52,555 --> 01:04:53,389
TOMORROW, AND YOU WILL SEE THESE

1830
01:04:53,389 --> 01:05:03,032
SAME ITEMS FOR YOUR APPROVAL 

1831
01:05:03,032 --> 01:05:03,666
WEARING YOUR CITY COUNCIL HATS. 

1832
01:05:03,666 --> 01:05:04,200
SPR RECOGNIZES WE ARE NOT 

1833
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:04,834
AUTHORIZED TO SPEND THESE FUNDS 

1834
01:05:04,834 --> 01:05:06,736
UNTIL THEY ARE APPROVED BY BOTH 

1835
01:05:06,736 --> 01:05:07,670
SIDES OF THE HOUSE. WITH THAT, 

1836
01:05:07,670 --> 01:05:08,304
AND LESS YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, I 

1837
01:05:08,304 --> 01:05:09,972
WAS NOT PREPARED TO WALK THROUGH

1838
01:05:09,972 --> 01:05:10,606
IT AGAIN, BUT I CAN CERTAINLY DO

1839
01:05:10,606 --> 01:05:12,241
SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE A REMINDER.

1840
01:05:12,241 --> 01:05:14,277
>> I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT, 

1841
01:05:14,277 --> 01:05:15,645
THAT I KNEW EVERYONE CAN READ A 

1842
01:05:15,645 --> 01:05:17,580
POWERPOINT, BUT FOR THE VIEWING 

1843
01:05:17,580 --> 01:05:18,214
PUBLIC, AS WELL. THE 2,000,800 

1844
01:05:18,214 --> 01:05:25,054
IS FOR CAPITAL, AND 200,000 IS, 

1845
01:05:25,054 --> 01:05:25,655
AS YOU SAID, FOR RECREATIONAL 

1846
01:05:25,655 --> 01:05:26,289
FACILITIES PROGRAMS, WHICH ARE 

1847
01:05:26,289 --> 01:05:28,024
OPERATING . SO THAT ADDS UP. I 

1848
01:05:28,024 --> 01:05:29,425
WAS HOPING THERE WAS MORE UNDER 

1849
01:05:29,425 --> 01:05:30,192
SPEND THAN 3 MILLION, IS THAT 

1850
01:05:30,192 --> 01:05:30,459
UNUSUAL? 

1851
01:05:30,459 --> 01:05:33,796
>> SO, THERE WAS MORE UNDER 

1852
01:05:33,796 --> 01:05:35,298
SPEND, BUT WE ARE RECOMMENDING 

1853
01:05:35,298 --> 01:05:36,866
TO HOLD THAT FOR A PLANNED 

1854
01:05:36,866 --> 01:05:37,967
ANNUAL WAGE INCREASES. 

1855
01:05:37,967 --> 01:05:42,805
>> THAT WAS IN THE FORMER PAGES 

1856
01:05:42,805 --> 01:05:45,241
BACK AND I WAS LOOKING AT THE 

1857
01:05:45,241 --> 01:05:46,609
LINES, BUT THIS IS THE THREE 

1858
01:05:46,609 --> 01:05:48,210
THAT YOU PULLED OUT, YOU WANTED 

1859
01:05:48,210 --> 01:05:48,811

1860
01:05:48,811 --> 01:05:53,282
START THAT PROCESS. OKAY. OKAY, 

1861
01:05:53,282 --> 01:05:54,417
WITH THAT, COUNCILMEMBERS, 

1862
01:05:54,417 --> 01:05:54,984
BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD, ARE 

1863
01:05:54,984 --> 01:05:56,585
THERE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING 

1864
01:05:56,585 --> 01:05:58,688

01:05:58,688 --> 01:06:06,329

01:06:06,963 --> 01:06:08,397
THIS FIRST QUESTION IS FOR 

1868
01:06:08,397 --> 01:06:11,901
KARINA. KARINA, AND LESS I'M 

1869
01:06:11,901 --> 01:06:16,706

SPORTS STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION, 

1877
01:06:33,456 --> 01:06:37,360
$600,000 ITEM IN THERE, WHICH IS

1878
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:37,994
NOT SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT IN 

1879
01:06:37,994 --> 01:06:38,627
THE RESOLUTION. CAN YOU HELP ME 

1880
01:06:38,627 --> 01:06:39,128
BETTER UNDERSTAND THAT? 

1881
01:06:39,128 --> 01:06:40,930
>> SO, THE RESOLUTION IS 

1882
01:06:40,930 --> 01:06:41,564
DIVIDING, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT 

1883
01:06:41,564 --> 01:06:43,833
THE SECOND PAGE? IS DIVIDING THE

1884
01:06:43,833 --> 01:06:48,270
CARRYFORWARD MONEY INTO 

1885
01:06:48,270 --> 01:06:50,973
OPERATING AND CAPITAL, SO THE 

1886
01:06:50,973 --> 01:06:54,276
SPORTS RACQUETBALL , RACQUET 

1887
01:06:54,276 --> 01:06:57,947
SPORTS STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION 

1888
01:06:57,947 --> 01:07:04,754
IS INCLUDED IN THE CAPITAL FUNDS

1889
01:07:04,754 --> 01:07:04,987
. 

1890
01:07:04,987 --> 01:07:05,554
>> INCLUDED IN THE CAPITAL 

1891
01:07:05,554 --> 01:07:05,788
FUNDS. 

1892
01:07:05,788 --> 01:07:06,956
>> YES, SO WE HAVE 200 FOR 

1893
01:07:06,956 --> 01:07:08,691
OPERATING, AND THAT IS IN THE 

1894
01:07:08,691 --> 01:07:09,225
RECREATIONAL FACILITIES 

1895
01:07:09,225 --> 01:07:10,459
PROGRAMS. THAT'S FOR THE 

1896
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:11,093
SCHOLARSHIPS, EVERYTHING ELSE 

1897
01:07:11,093 --> 01:07:12,695
FALLS IN THE CAPITAL AND FIX IT 

1898
01:07:12,695 --> 01:07:13,329
FIRST. 

1899
01:07:13,329 --> 01:07:15,164
>> OKAY, THE RACQUET SPORTS 

1900
01:07:15,164 --> 01:07:15,965
STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION, WAS 

1901
01:07:15,965 --> 01:07:18,801
THAT PREVIOUSLY AND EXPRESS OR 

1902
01:07:18,801 --> 01:07:22,405
EXPLICIT COUNCIL OR BOARD 

1903
01:07:22,405 --> 01:07:25,107
AUTHORIZED EXPENSE, OR WAS THAT 

1904
01:07:25,107 --> 01:07:28,944
JUST SOMETHING , WELL, I WILL 

1905
01:07:28,944 --> 01:07:35,718
STOP THERE. WOULD IT BE AND 

1906
01:07:35,718 --> 01:07:36,285
EXPRESS AUTHORIZED EXPENSE 

1907
01:07:36,285 --> 01:07:36,519
BEFORE? 

1908
01:07:36,519 --> 01:07:37,953
>> I THINK PARKS IS IN THE BEST 

1909
01:07:37,953 --> 01:07:38,554
POSITION TO ANSWER THIS. MY 

1910
01:07:38,554 --> 01:07:39,855
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT IS PART

1911
01:07:39,855 --> 01:07:50,433
OF PARKS'S BROADER BUDGET. SO 

1912
01:07:51,767 --> 01:07:52,334
THEY HAVE MANY PROGRAMS WITHIN 

1913
01:07:52,334 --> 01:07:53,002
THAT. SO COUNCIL IS NOT 

1914
01:07:53,002 --> 01:07:54,003
NECESSARILY GOING TO BE VOTING 

1915
01:07:54,003 --> 01:07:54,837
ON EVERYTHING A PROGRAM, BECAUSE

1916
01:07:54,837 --> 01:07:55,938
THERE'S SO MANY OF THEM. BUT 

1917
01:07:55,938 --> 01:07:57,173
PARKS WILL ELEVATE CERTAIN ONES.

1918
01:07:57,173 --> 01:07:58,340
>> YEAH, SO I GUESS MY QUESTION 

1919
01:07:58,340 --> 01:08:00,242
TO YOU AND PARKS WOULD BE IF IT 

1920
01:08:00,242 --> 01:08:01,777
WAS NOT PART OF A, OR WAS IT, 

1921
01:08:01,777 --> 01:08:02,845
JUST CONFIRM MY UNDERSTANDING, 

1922
01:08:02,845 --> 01:08:03,712
AND IF IT WASN'T PREVIOUSLY, 

1923
01:08:03,712 --> 01:08:04,880
AND YOU HAVE FULL DISCRETION TO 

1924
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:06,115
DO THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, THE 

1925
01:08:06,115 --> 01:08:07,450
PROGRAM IN FUSION LEVEL, WITHIN 

1926
01:08:07,450 --> 01:08:09,785
YOUR EXISTING BUDGET, WHY WOULD 

1927
01:08:09,785 --> 01:08:14,023
WE ELEVATE IT NOW TO 

1928
01:08:14,023 --> 01:08:16,258
SPECIFICALLY REQUIRE COUNCIL OR 

1929
01:08:16,258 --> 01:08:21,831
BOARD AUTHORIZATION. 

1930
01:08:21,831 --> 01:08:23,866
>> SO, WHAT WE WERE PROPOSING, 

1931
01:08:23,866 --> 01:08:25,167
WE HAVE AN ONGOING PROGRAM FOR 

1932
01:08:25,167 --> 01:08:25,801
COURT RESURFACING, SO THAT HAS 

1933
01:08:25,801 --> 01:08:27,169
ABOUT $250,000 A YEAR AND IT, 

1934
01:08:27,169 --> 01:08:30,206
AND WITH THIS MOMENT IN TIME 

1935
01:08:30,206 --> 01:08:31,440
WITH THE RACQUET SPORTS 

1936
01:08:31,440 --> 01:08:32,408
STRATEGY, WE ARE, PARKS IS 

1937
01:08:32,408 --> 01:08:37,780
PROPOSING TO INCREASE AS A 

1938
01:08:37,780 --> 01:08:39,081
ONE-TIME AD, SOME ADDITIONAL 

1939
01:08:39,081 --> 01:08:39,715
RESOURCES TO HELP US IMPLEMENT 

1940
01:08:39,715 --> 01:08:46,255
THAT STRATEGY ONCE A FINAL IS 

1941
01:08:46,255 --> 01:08:47,089
ADOPTED. SO IT GOES INTO THE 

1942
01:08:47,089 --> 01:08:47,957
PROGRAM THAT ALREADY EXISTS IN 

1943
01:08:47,957 --> 01:08:49,291
OUR CIP, BUT IT WOULD BE 

1944
01:08:49,291 --> 01:08:52,161
ADDITIONAL FUNDS SIMILAR TO THE 

1945
01:08:52,161 --> 01:08:55,598
ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR THE STAGE. 

1946
01:08:55,731 --> 01:09:01,904
>> GOT IT. SO YOU ALREADY HAVE 

1947
01:09:01,904 --> 01:09:02,638
ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY AND YOUR 

1948
01:09:02,638 --> 01:09:09,845
CAPITAL BUDGET DO THIS AND 

1949
01:09:09,845 --> 01:09:10,880
CAPITAL PROJECTS AS WELL. WHAT 

1950
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:12,014
YOU ARE SAYING EXPRESS BOARD 

1951
01:09:12,014 --> 01:09:12,948
AUTHORIZATION FOR THE 

1952
01:09:12,948 --> 01:09:13,516
UNANTICIPATED ADDITIONAL 

1953
01:09:13,516 --> 01:09:14,783
AMOUNTS, FOR THIS ONE ITEM, NOT 

1954
01:09:14,783 --> 01:09:21,423
THE OTHER ITEMS BESIDES THE ONES

1955
01:09:21,423 --> 01:09:21,957
SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT. 

1956
01:09:21,957 --> 01:09:22,758
>> CORRECT. 

1957
01:09:22,758 --> 01:09:24,593
>> OKAY, CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE 

1958
01:09:24,593 --> 01:09:27,029
BIT MORE ABOUT THIS? BECAUSE 

1959
01:09:27,029 --> 01:09:28,364
THIS IS A SPICY TOPIC IN WEST 

1960
01:09:28,364 --> 01:09:33,202
SEATTLE, AS WE KNOW. THE RACQUET

1961
01:09:33,202 --> 01:09:34,236
SPORTS STRATEGY, PARKS PROPOSED 

1962
01:09:34,236 --> 01:09:35,838
RACQUET SPORTS STRATEGY, CAN YOU

1963
01:09:35,838 --> 01:09:41,911
TALK MORE ABOUT THE BASES, THE 

1964
01:09:41,911 --> 01:09:43,712
GENESIS FOR THAT, AND I WILL 

1965
01:09:43,712 --> 01:09:46,148
JUST SHARE , USE THIS 

1966
01:09:46,148 --> 01:09:46,782
OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE MY POINT OF

1967
01:09:46,782 --> 01:09:48,517
VIEW, BECAUSE I'VE HEARD A LOT 

1968
01:09:48,517 --> 01:09:49,351
FROM CONSTITUENTS IN DISTRICT 

1969
01:09:49,351 --> 01:09:52,621
ONE ABOUT THE PLAN AND PROPOSAL 

1970
01:09:52,621 --> 01:09:54,990
. YOU AND I HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO

1971
01:09:54,990 --> 01:09:56,692
SINK OFF-LINE ABOUT THIS IN ONE 

1972
01:09:56,692 --> 01:09:58,894
OF OUR REGULAR CHATS. AND I 

1973
01:09:58,894 --> 01:10:00,362
THINK WE HAVE GENERAL ALIGNMENT.

1974
01:10:00,362 --> 01:10:07,269
BUT YEAH, IT'S A LOT OF 

1975
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,904
CONSTITUENTS IN WEST SEATTLE 

1976
01:10:08,904 --> 01:10:13,976
FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A PROPOSAL 

1977
01:10:13,976 --> 01:10:14,643
THAT WAS ESSENTIALLY THRUST UPON

1978
01:10:14,643 --> 01:10:16,712
THEM. THAT WAS COMPLETELY REDRAW

1979
01:10:16,712 --> 01:10:21,784
THE BOUNDARIES AND WHAT IS 

1980
01:10:21,784 --> 01:10:22,418
ALLOWABLE IN TERMS OF, 

1981
01:10:22,418 --> 01:10:23,419
ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO 

1982
01:10:23,419 --> 01:10:25,254
PICKLE BALL, BUT IN WEST 

1983
01:10:25,254 --> 01:10:25,988
SEATTLE, THERE'S A VERY 

1984
01:10:25,988 --> 01:10:27,156
VIBRANT, ACTIVE PICKLE BALL 

1985
01:10:27,156 --> 01:10:31,794
COMMUNITY. BUT ALSO TENNIS 

1986
01:10:31,794 --> 01:10:37,900
PLAYERS, AS WELL. AND I MET UP 

1987
01:10:37,900 --> 01:10:38,968
WITH A LOT OF CONSTITUENTS ABOUT

1988
01:10:38,968 --> 01:10:40,035
THIS ONE ISSUE, AND DURING ONE 

1989
01:10:40,035 --> 01:10:40,970
OFFICE HOURS SESSION IN 

1990
01:10:40,970 --> 01:10:41,737
PARTICULAR, A CONSTITUENT DREW 

1991
01:10:41,737 --> 01:10:43,138
THIS VERY HELPFUL DIAGRAM THAT 

1992
01:10:43,138 --> 01:10:47,109
SHOWED , I WISH I WOULD'VE 

1993
01:10:47,109 --> 01:10:51,413
PRINTED IT OUT, BUT IT SHOWED 

1994
01:10:51,413 --> 01:10:55,684
THE CURRENT ALLOCATED USES 

1995
01:10:55,684 --> 01:10:58,854
BETWEEN TENNIS, PICKLE BALL, AND

1996
01:10:58,854 --> 01:11:00,256
USE, AND UNDER THE PROPOSED 

1997
01:11:00,256 --> 01:11:07,229
PLAN, IT BASICALLY LEAVES ONE 

1998
01:11:07,229 --> 01:11:09,031
AREA, THE PROPOSAL WOULD BE 

1999
01:11:09,031 --> 01:11:09,932
ESSENTIALLY DELL RIDGE FOR 

2000
01:11:09,932 --> 01:11:15,337
PICKLE BALL USE AND PRESERVE 

2001
01:11:15,337 --> 01:11:19,808
BOTH USE . IMPORTANTLY, TAKE 

2002
01:11:19,808 --> 01:11:26,749
AWAY PICKLE BALL AT A LOT OF 

2003
01:11:26,749 --> 01:11:27,316
LOCATIONS CURRENTLY IN WEST 

2004
01:11:27,316 --> 01:11:28,450
SEATTLE, INCLUDING WHERE SOME OF

2005
01:11:28,450 --> 01:11:29,318
THE MOST COMPETITIVE TO BALL IN 

2006
01:11:29,318 --> 01:11:30,886
THE CITY OF SEATTLE IS PLAYED 

2007
01:11:30,886 --> 01:11:31,987
TODAY. NOT JUST WEST SEATTLE, 

2008
01:11:31,987 --> 01:11:36,859
BUT AT HIGH POINT. SOME OF THE 

2009
01:11:36,859 --> 01:11:37,993
MOST COMPETITIVE PICKLE BALL, 

2010
01:11:37,993 --> 01:11:39,094
COME ON DOWN TO HIGH POINT, AND 

2011
01:11:39,094 --> 01:11:40,329
AFTER THIS PROCESS I HOPE PEOPLE

2012
01:11:40,329 --> 01:11:41,997
CONTINUE TO COME TO HIGH POINT 

2013
01:11:41,997 --> 01:11:45,634
TO PLAY PICKLE BALL. AND IT 

2014
01:11:45,634 --> 01:11:46,435
DELINEATED WHAT MUST BE RESERVED

2015
01:11:46,435 --> 01:11:51,573
IN ADVANCE VERSUS OPEN PICKUP 

2016
01:11:51,573 --> 01:11:54,076
GAMES, I WILL SHARE THAT IF 

2017
01:11:54,076 --> 01:11:57,313
THERE WAS EVER A PLAN TO MAKE OR

2018
01:11:57,313 --> 01:11:59,915
REQUIRE PEOPLE TO RESERVE 

2019
01:11:59,915 --> 01:12:02,351
BASKETBALL COURTS IN ADVANCE, 

2020
01:12:02,351 --> 01:12:04,720
BEFORE AN ACTUAL PICKUP GAME, 

2021
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:05,654
THAT WOULD BE COMPLETELY 

2022
01:12:05,654 --> 01:12:10,726
UNWORKABLE. AND SO IN ANY EVENT,

2023
01:12:10,726 --> 01:12:11,827
THERE'S A LOT OF COMMUNITY 

2024
01:12:11,827 --> 01:12:12,494
CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW, 

2025
01:12:12,494 --> 01:12:14,797
UNDERSTANDABLY, GOING ON AROUND 

2026
01:12:14,797 --> 01:12:20,903
THE PARKS PLAN , ITS IMPACT ON 

2027
01:12:20,903 --> 01:12:21,937
RACQUETBALL SPORTS IN WEST 

2028
01:12:21,937 --> 01:12:27,209
SEATTLE , PICKLE BALL IS THE 

2029
01:12:27,209 --> 01:12:30,112
STATE SPORT , AND I'VE SEEN 

2030
01:12:30,112 --> 01:12:30,713
FIRSTHAND HOW IT CAN BRING 

2031
01:12:30,713 --> 01:12:34,183
PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES TOGETHER 

2032
01:12:34,183 --> 01:12:35,617
. VERY INCLUSIVE. BY THE WAY, 

2033
01:12:35,617 --> 01:12:37,486
I'VE PLAYED BOTH PICKLE BALL 

2034
01:12:37,486 --> 01:12:45,928
AND TENNIS . MY FAMILY ENJOYS 

2035
01:12:45,928 --> 01:12:48,097
PLAYING BOTH. BUT CAN YOU TALK A

2036
01:12:48,097 --> 01:12:48,664
LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT 

2037
01:12:48,664 --> 01:12:53,602
SPECIFIC PLAN, ESPECIALLY GIVEN 

2038
01:12:53,602 --> 01:12:55,571
THE VERY, THE WAY THE CURRENT 

2039
01:12:55,571 --> 01:12:58,173
PROPOSAL HAS LANDED? 

2040
01:12:58,173 --> 01:12:59,074
>> YES. SO WE ARE INTERNALLY 

2041
01:12:59,074 --> 01:13:03,412
CALLING IT THE APRIL 6th DRAFT, 

2042
01:13:03,412 --> 01:13:04,613
WHICH IS WHEN IT WAS RELEASED, 

2043
01:13:04,613 --> 01:13:06,515
AND WE ARE GOING BACK OUT NEXT 

2044
01:13:06,515 --> 01:13:11,720
WEEK TO TALK TO THE COMMUNITY 

2045
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:13,522
AND SAY WE HEARD YOU, THE APRIL 

2046
01:13:13,522 --> 01:13:16,325
6th DRAFT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE 

2047
01:13:16,325 --> 01:13:17,860
GOING TO TAKE TO THE PARK BOARD 

2048
01:13:17,860 --> 01:13:19,161
OR ANYBODY ELSE. WE ARE GOING TO

2049
01:13:19,161 --> 01:13:21,096
CONFIRM WHAT WE THINK WE HEARD 

2050
01:13:21,096 --> 01:13:22,264
FROM PEOPLE, WE ARE GOING TO 

2051
01:13:22,264 --> 01:13:23,265
SHARE SOME ADDITIONAL 

2052
01:13:23,265 --> 01:13:23,899
INFORMATION BECAUSE THEY HAVE 

2053
01:13:23,899 --> 01:13:24,933
ASKED FOR MORE THAN THE BACKUP. 

2054
01:13:24,933 --> 01:13:29,271
SO THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE 

2055
01:13:29,271 --> 01:13:29,872
ULTIMATE APPROACH TO RACQUET 

2056
01:13:29,872 --> 01:13:34,443
SPORTS IS NOT AT ALL DETERMINED.

2057
01:13:34,443 --> 01:13:36,478
IT IS NOT THE DRAFT THE PEOPLE 

2058
01:13:36,478 --> 01:13:37,112
IN SEEN. WILL BE TAKING THIS 

2059
01:13:37,112 --> 01:13:38,147
ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK, COMING UP 

2060
01:13:38,147 --> 01:13:38,847
WITH A REVISED DRAFT. MY INTENT 

2061
01:13:38,847 --> 01:13:40,916
WITH THIS WAS TO HAVE, ONCE WE 

2062
01:13:40,916 --> 01:13:43,552
HAD A STRATEGY THAT WE HAVE 

2063
01:13:43,552 --> 01:13:45,220
GENERALLY FELT GOOD ABOUT AND 

2064
01:13:45,220 --> 01:13:46,822
THE PARK BOARD FELT GOOD ABOUT 

2065
01:13:46,822 --> 01:13:51,927
RECOMMENDING US MOVING FORWARD 

2066
01:13:51,927 --> 01:13:53,295
WITH, THAT WE WOULD HAVE SOME 

2067
01:13:53,295 --> 01:13:53,962
FUNDS TO LEVERAGE TO MAKE SOME 

2068
01:13:53,962 --> 01:13:54,997
THINGS HAPPEN FOR COMMUNITY. SO,

2069
01:13:54,997 --> 01:14:00,903
AS AN EXAMPLE, NOT EVERY SIDE, 

2070
01:14:00,903 --> 01:14:01,637
BUT AT SOME SITES, BECAUSE OF 

2071
01:14:01,637 --> 01:14:09,311
THE SIZE OF THE TENNIS COURT, 

2072
01:14:09,311 --> 01:14:11,480
AND THE AREAS AROUND IT, IF IT 

2073
01:14:11,480 --> 01:14:12,047
WAS TO BE TRANSITIONED TO A 

2074
01:14:12,047 --> 01:14:12,981
DEDICATED PICKLE BALL COURT, YOU

2075
01:14:12,981 --> 01:14:14,116
COULD ACTUALLY GET FOUR COURTS 

2076
01:14:14,116 --> 01:14:15,384
IN THAT SAME AREA. AS OPPOSED TO

2077
01:14:15,384 --> 01:14:17,853
TWO DUAL STRIPED. SO, IF WE HAD 

2078
01:14:17,853 --> 01:14:21,690
SOME FUNDING TO MAKE A 

2079
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:22,324
DIFFERENCE, WE CAN MAYBE PROVIDE

2080
01:14:22,324 --> 01:14:22,991
SOME MORE CAPACITY FOR PICKLE 

2081
01:14:22,991 --> 01:14:24,393
BALL BY DOING SOME EARLY 

2082
01:14:24,393 --> 01:14:34,870
STRIPING , THAT WE ARE NOT 

2083
01:14:37,072 --> 01:14:38,640
WAITING FIVE YEARS TO GET THAT 

2084
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:39,475
SITE PRIORITIZE. SO THAT WAS THE

2085
01:14:39,475 --> 01:14:40,309
INTENT OF PUTTING THIS MONEY, 

2086
01:14:40,309 --> 01:14:41,176
NOT TO SAY THAT THE PLAN IS 

2087
01:14:41,176 --> 01:14:41,944
FINALIZED, BUT JUST TO HAVE SOME

2088
01:14:41,944 --> 01:14:42,845
RESOURCES AVAILABLE AND THE TIME

2089
01:14:42,845 --> 01:14:44,446
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND TO BE 

2090
01:14:44,446 --> 01:14:45,514
ABLE TO TELL PEOPLE WE THINK WE 

2091
01:14:45,514 --> 01:14:46,949
COULD DO THESE THINGS EARLIER IF

2092
01:14:46,949 --> 01:14:48,050
THERE WAS COMMUNITY AGREEMENT 

2093
01:14:48,050 --> 01:14:51,386
THAT THE TRANSITION MIGHT BE 

2094
01:14:51,386 --> 01:14:51,987
BENEFICIAL. 

2095
01:14:51,987 --> 01:14:53,021
>> GOT IT. WELL, THANK YOU FOR 

2096
01:14:53,021 --> 01:14:55,190
THAT ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION. 

2097
01:14:55,190 --> 01:14:59,962
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, WHATEVER , 

2098
01:14:59,962 --> 01:15:01,730
IF THERE IS A NEED TO REVISIT 

2099
01:15:01,730 --> 01:15:03,732
THE ALLOCATIONS AMONG RAPID 

2100
01:15:03,732 --> 01:15:13,876
GROWTH ACROSS THE CITY, I WOULD 

2101
01:15:13,876 --> 01:15:16,511
SUPPORT THAT EFFORT. AT THE 

2102
01:15:16,511 --> 01:15:18,380
PRINCIPAL LEVEL, I WOULD WANT 

2103
01:15:18,380 --> 01:15:19,014
AND EXPECT, AS THIS COMMUNITY , 

2104
01:15:19,014 --> 01:15:19,581
ANY OF THOSE DECISIONS THAT 

2105
01:15:19,581 --> 01:15:20,182
PARKS MADE, TO BE 100% DATA 

2106
01:15:20,182 --> 01:15:23,585
INFORMED AND DATA DRIVEN. OUT 

2107
01:15:23,585 --> 01:15:25,220
APPRECIATE A VERY ROBUST 

2108
01:15:25,220 --> 01:15:26,455

01:15:26,455 --> 01:15:31,994
ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. AND , YOU

DRIVE THOSE CHANGES. TO THAT 

2112
01:15:43,572 --> 01:15:44,172
END, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU 

2113
01:15:44,172 --> 01:15:47,209

01:15:47,776 --> 01:15:48,343
LITERATURE FROM SOME OF MY 

2116
01:15:48,343 --> 01:15:49,478
CONSTITUENTS, WE SHARED IT WITH 

2117
01:15:49,478 --> 01:15:50,345

REQUEST FROM OUR CONSTITUENTS TO

01:16:10,766 --> 01:16:11,733
LISTENING SESSION. SO, LIVING UP

TIMELINE, WHEN CAN PEOPLE EXPECT

2132
01:16:26,782 --> 01:16:29,117
FOR THAT, AND FINAL DECISIONS 

2133
01:16:29,117 --> 01:16:30,819
FROM PARKS AND NEXT STEPS? AND

INCLUDES MONEY FOR RESTRIPING, 

2137
01:16:39,061 --> 01:16:39,728
THERE'S A LOT OF COURTS ACROSS 

2138
01:16:39,728 --> 01:16:45,534
THE CITY, BUT I CAN SPEAK TO A 

2139
01:16:45,534 --> 01:16:47,002
FEW IN WEST SEATTLE THAT ARE IN 

2140
01:16:47,002 --> 01:16:48,370
DIRE NEED OF RESTRIPING AND 

2141
01:16:48,370 --> 01:16:49,037
RESURFACING. BUT TIMELINE, NEXT 

2142
01:16:49,037 --> 01:16:53,141
STEPS, AND YOU CAN CLARIFY AT

THAT WOULD INCLUDE RESTRIPING. 

2144
01:17:00,615 --> 01:17:01,683
>> YES, SO, OUR HOPE IS THAT WE 

2145
01:17:01,683 --> 01:17:04,553
GET MORE FEEDBACK FROM COMMUNITY

2146
01:17:04,553 --> 01:17:06,588
NEXT WEEK, AND TRY TO TAKE THAT 

2147
01:17:06,588 --> 01:17:10,225
IN OVER THE NEXT MONTH OR SO, TO

2148
01:17:10,225 --> 01:17:11,660
DEVELOP AN UPDATED STRATEGY THAT

2149
01:17:11,660 --> 01:17:13,628
WE WOULD BRING BACK TO COMMUNITY

2150
01:17:13,628 --> 01:17:16,298
EARLY AFTER SCHOOL STARTS TYPE 

2151
01:17:16,298 --> 01:17:26,842
OF TIMEFRAME. AND THEN IF WE ARE

2152
01:17:27,142 --> 01:17:27,709
FEELING OKAY ABOUT IT, WE WOULD 

2153
01:17:27,709 --> 01:17:28,944
TAKE HER TO THE PARK BOARD TO 

2154
01:17:28,944 --> 01:17:32,014
MAKE A RECOMMENDATION , FOR 

2155
01:17:32,014 --> 01:17:35,017
WHOEVER IS IN THE CHAIR THE TIME

2156
01:17:35,017 --> 01:17:35,484
TO ADOPT A STRATEGY. 

2157
01:17:35,484 --> 01:17:36,118
IMPRECISELY, THE IDEA IS TO HAVE

2158
01:17:36,118 --> 01:17:42,190
THIS BE FOR RESTRIPING. IT MAY 

2159
01:17:42,190 --> 01:17:43,325
VENTING VERY COMFORTABLE, 

2160
01:17:43,325 --> 01:17:44,960
BECAUSE I KNOW EVERY SITE IS A 

2161
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:45,727
SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE. IF YOU HAD A 

2162
01:17:45,727 --> 01:17:46,561
TELL ME WHAT $600,000 INVESTMENT

2163
01:17:46,561 --> 01:17:48,263
COULD GET IN TERMS OF 

2164
01:17:48,263 --> 01:17:53,769
RESTRIPING, THEY SAID THEY COULD

2165
01:17:53,769 --> 01:17:54,336
LIVE WITH ME SAYING ABOUT 

2166
01:17:54,336 --> 01:17:59,041
$60,000 PER TENNIS COURT AREA . 

2167
01:17:59,041 --> 01:18:00,976
SO IT WOULD MAYBE GET IS 10 

2168
01:18:00,976 --> 01:18:02,077
ADDITIONAL SITES. 

2169
01:18:02,077 --> 01:18:10,385
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. I 

2170
01:18:10,385 --> 01:18:11,653

FURTHER QUESTIONS, MADAM 

2180
01:18:27,302 --> 01:18:27,602
PRESIDENT. 

2181
01:18:27,602 --> 01:18:34,376
>> JUST FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC, 

2182
01:18:34,376 --> 01:18:36,778
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT PAGE 25, 

2183
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:39,681
THE FIRST FOUR COLUMNS ARE ON 

2184
01:18:39,681 --> 01:18:40,282
CAPITAL PROJECTS AND THE LAST 

2185
01:18:40,282 --> 01:18:43,218
ONE IS OPERATIONS. AS 

2186
01:18:43,218 --> 01:18:50,358
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA HIGHLIGHTED, 

2187
01:18:50,358 --> 01:18:50,992
THAT KIND OF THREW ME, ANYWAY, 

2188
01:18:50,992 --> 01:18:52,294
WHEN IT SAID RACQUET SPORTS 

2189
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,963
STRATEGY, AND WHEN YOU STARTED 

2190
01:18:54,963 --> 01:18:55,597
TALKING I WENT BACK AND LOOKED 

2191
01:18:55,597 --> 01:18:58,233
AT IT, IT IS NOT JUST A STRATEGY

2192
01:18:58,233 --> 01:19:00,902
ABOUT , IT IS RESURFACING, 

2193
01:19:00,902 --> 01:19:01,703
RECONFIGURATION, RESTRIPING, SO 

2194
01:19:01,703 --> 01:19:02,604
I THINK THAT IS WHAT THROUGH 

2195
01:19:02,604 --> 01:19:04,239
PEOPLE. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS MORE

2196
01:19:04,239 --> 01:19:14,616
PROGRAMMING. NOT ACTUAL PHYSICAL

2197
01:19:14,616 --> 01:19:16,852
, LIKE I SAID, RESURFACING THE 

2198
01:19:16,852 --> 01:19:17,486
COURTS, RECONFIGURING IF YOU CAN

2199
01:19:17,486 --> 01:19:18,086
MAKE MORE CHORDS, RESTRIPING, 

2200
01:19:18,086 --> 01:19:19,421
AND THEN GIVING YOURSELF ENOUGH 

2201
01:19:19,421 --> 01:19:20,655
ROOM, 600,000 AS A CUSHION, IF 

2202
01:19:20,655 --> 01:19:31,066
INDEED THAT IS WHAT YOU BELIEVE 

2203
01:19:31,066 --> 01:19:31,766
YOU CAN WORK WITH, WITH WHAT YOU

2204
01:19:31,766 --> 01:19:33,568
ALREADY HAVE. SO, THAT'S WHAT I

2205
01:19:33,568 --> 01:19:34,536
UNDERSTOOD FROM THE OTHER PLAN, 

2206
01:19:34,536 --> 01:19:35,103
