Others Present: See attached list. BUDGET PRESENTATION Wilson began his presentation by explaining to those in attendance that his department is special and unique not only because of the diversity of the programs it offers, but because of the agreement and the working relationship that the Parks Department has with the various groups and individuals within the community. He stated that without this cooperation, his department would not run as smoothly and efficiently as it does. Wilson explained that if the City grants the Park Department $28,964 more in the 1990 Budget, the Department will earn an additional $75, 000 in revenue from its programs. Wilson pointed out that the budget adjustments he is proposing were well thought out by Parks Department staff. He then presented the way in which his staff feels that the additional monies should be distributed to best meet the needs of the Par)ts Department. Following is a breakdown: $10,892 - to increase a Cultural Arts Specialist position from 3/4 time to full time; $10,065 - for additional monies for part-time instructors; $ 9,530 - to move the Special Populations Program Specialist from 3/4 to full time; $ 2#000 - to provide part-time building supervision for the Resource Center for after hour rentals; $ 3,600 - to add 2 part-time Day Camp counselors; Parks Committee Minutes �v November 8, 1989 Page Two $15,000 - for postage for informational mailings to the community; $ 5,000 - for in-house printing and graphics; $ 31700 - for outside printing and binding; $13#710 - to increase a Senior Center Program Specialist from 3/4 time to full time; $24,040 - to add a 10-month maintenance position to cover increased park usage and additional park acreage; $ 4,000 - to increase part-time salaries for Recreation activities; $ 2,427 - to pay for Association game officials fee increase. Wilson stated that he is proud of the Department's revenues over the past 5 years, and reported to the Committee that 34% of the department's programs are supported by participant fees, as compared to 17% at Auburn and 10% at Renton. As there was tremendous support from the community present at the meeting, several members of the Kent community spoke in favor of Wilson's request: Don Campbell, from the Kent Arts Commission, commented that the Department was only asking for a small increase in, order to have a chance to do the job that it is asked to do, and that people enjoy. Campbell further pointed out that the Parks Department is consistently over all of the City's revenue requests. Jim Torina, a Performing Arts Location Advisor, comented that he was surprise to hear that the Cultural Arts Specialist was not presently a full time position. He stated that Tracey Wickersham presently works full time hours. John Lindseth, President of the Kent Chamber of ,Commerce, stated that the Parks Department creates big business for the community, and added that spending a dollar for the Parks Department is more return that what was seen there in that room. When prospective Kent residents ask the Chamber of Commerce what type of parks system Kent has, Lindseth reported that he tells, them that the City of Kent Parks Department is they best they will find. Parks Committee Minutes November 8, 1989 Page Three John Van Zonneveld, businessman and member of the National Park and Recreation Association Board of Trustees, explained that the NRPA's main goal for 1990 is human resources, specifically drug abuse. He said that the NRPA will be asking for assistance from the Kent Parks Department, but without sufficient funds, Kent Parks will be unable to offer that support. Cheryl Nowacki, active mother in the recreation programs, emphasized that the department provides self-esteom, character, discipline and sportsmanship for the youth in the community. She stated, "Busy students are students out of trouble," and urged her support for the recommendation made by Wilson on behalf of his staff. Both Dowell and Woods were interested in seeing that the Special Populations program and Park Maintenance receive additional funding. Johnson agreed, that as a participant, he is concerned that Maintenance needs more funding. Wilson stated that he was concerned about a balanced department, and reemphasized that staff gave much consideration to the proposed adjustments. He urged that the Department's needs are those which he presented. Brad Bell, real estate salesman, stated that he has known Wilson all of his life, and spoke in support of Wilson. He reported that he believes Wilson when he says that he needs $29,000 to run the Parks Department in a way that the department is accustomed to. Bell added that he and his wife, and their children, live in Kent because of the school system and the Parks Department. Jim Younq, a developer, expressed his desire to see the Parks Department receive the $29,000, and stated that it is Wilson's job to decide where that money will be spent. Young expressed that the Parks Department is very important to the community. In further support of the Wilson's request, Lindsath explained that as with any business, there must be a budget process, but there must be faith in those requesting the funds. Janie Scarff, member of the Kent Chamber of Commerce, stated that the request was so organized and broken down, that ,it would be a waste of time to go through and do the same thing again. She recommended that Wilson's proposal be accepted as proposed. I i Parks Committee Minutes November 8, 1989 Page Four After all of the supportive comments from the community, the Committee voted to recommend to the full Council to adjust the Park Department budget by $28,964, as RrOROsed by the FAI*s, Department. Johnson made a motion to accept the proposal as presented; Dowell seconded the motion; and Woods abstained. Johnson added that Administration would report back to the full Council ;from the where the funds would cote and if they agreed on how the : nds are to be spent. KENT LIBRARY ARTWORK PROJECT Liz Carpenter explained that the artwork, designed by Valdis Zarins, was selected by a jury of seven. Carpenter then proceeded- to describe the layout and design of the piece. Woods moved to accept the artwork and to place the, item onto the City Council Consent Calendar; Johnson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Dowell questioned why King County has raised some concerns over the artwork and how that would affect the motion ' just passed. Carpenter reported' that King County is concerned thst the water in the piece will create undue maintenance, and , they are also concerned with the size of the piece. Carpenter explained that the artwork has , a simple overflow system and that she doesn't feel that there will be undue maintenance. Campbell added, th4t hopefully after a meeting with the King County Library Board, the problem will be solved. Campbell further stated that he questions King County's ethics and process regarding this project. The Committee was satisfied with these comments. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 5:20 p,.YA. s PARKS COMMITTEE MEETING NOVEMBER 8, 1989 ATTENDANCE NAME ADDRESS/DEPAU N�.T_ 2. )5n95 2 35y9 3. lY1cAlrz iYl gw r�AilwG,a 515 4. 6. 3512 7. 17� S�A e.2y ReCrie 1 8. /iV c' 9. 2 a n-mh e,-�%s4ce�- /Zc;z 10. %.v7'- 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 1 a�i 17. r 18. 4 19. �+�0 a(ee 3 1-1 /Vd k'-Q 20. 21. 11 22. 1 � 23. ?*A.-'" c c_ 24. 25. y aurv,-z 26. 27. 28. 29.
