SPECIAL POPULATIONS SIBLING SUPPORT PROGRAM
Cheryl Fraser introduced Don Meyers from Children's Hospital and
Medical Center. Mr. Meyers announced that Kent Parks has been
chosen as the first parks department in the country to implement a
Sibling Support program. He said that the unique needs of brothers
and sisters of children with special needs have been well
documented, but there is no place for these siblings to go with
their ambivalent feelings.
Myers urged that more needs to be done for non-disabled brothers
and sisters who often have questions and need information. He
announced that in the Spring, siblings ages 8 to 12 will be able to
attend "Sib Shops" for discussion and recreational activities,
where they will learn more about the impact of the disability and
receive peer support. The Parks Department will be co-sponsoring
the Sib Shops with the Kent School District and the Children's
Therapy Center of Kent. He pointed out that the sibling
relationship is the longest lasting relationship in the family.
Myers distributed literature on the program (see attached) .
Dowell commented that the family is very important and needs to be
put on the proper priority level.
White asked Fraser what percentage of participants in the program
are Kent citizens. Fraser responded that she hasn't opened up
enrollment for the program yet, but she will be working closely
with the Special Education program in the schools. Students will
be referred through them.
Fraser added that 60% of the participants in current programs are
Kent residents.

LEASE OF O'BRIEN ELEMENTARY
Wilson stated that he got the idea to lease the facility from the
Federal Way School District, as they lease King County multi-
purpose facilities. Wilson said that he is looking for input from
the Committee and he will be working with the legal department to
see if the idea is feasible.
White questioned why the school district passed on this site.
Gerry Winkle answered that the facility is substandard for today
and there were busing problems. He said that O'Brien Elementary
was housing 350 students in an industrial area, when today a modern
elementary houses 650 in a neighborhood or residential area.
Wilson covered the floor plan of the facility (see attached) .
White asked what uses Wilson had for the facility. Wilson answered
that the facility could house the Youth at Risk program, a daycare
program, the overflow from cultural classes and accommodate
rentals.
Lea Britting reported that there are four Saturdays in 1991
available at the Senior Center for rental. Lori Hogan added that
the Commons is not available for rental until 1992.
White had areas of-, concern. He said that if private enterprise
were booked that far ahead, they would raise the fees. He
questioned why the City is proposing to put students back into a
high traffic situation that the school district didn't want.
Wilson said that if we were to increase the rent, we would
eliminate a lot of people who are relying on City facilities, which
would result in only a select group of users. He further commented
that Parks Department participant traffic would be spread out
throughout the day; it would only be busy a couple of hours a day.
He said that the facility is basically quiet, and it is completely
fenced and safe.
White questioned how much it costs to operate the Kent Commons.
Department staff will supply him with that figure.
Thorell said that staff conducted a survey and found that the
community wants more weekend and evening programs for children, but
the Department has no more room.

Dowell asked how much the school is asking for the facility.
Winkle reported the results for the appraisal to be between $2.5
and $2. 6 million.
Dowell questioned how long it will take before the school district
knows if it will hava to reopen the school due to growth. Winkle
responded that he suggests selling O'Brien Elementary and building
a modern elementary.
White questioned why the City should buy a facility that the school
district doesn't want when the City could build a new facility with
the $3 million.
Winkle explained that the school district is trying to keep the
building in play.
Dowell asked Winkle what a favorable lease would be. Winkle
answered that the school district can do different things if it is
working with the City. He said the school district understands
that the City is serving its people.
White said he is concerned about the air quality at the
intersection. Winkle stated that air quality was not a concern
with the school district.
Dowell suggested a lease based upon the money that would be
returned to the City from fee revenue. He expressed his concern
with the Persian Gulf situation and the possible reduction in sales
as a result.
White requested to see some hard figures.
Wilson emphasized that the Department has a long way to go in order
to furnish proper facts. He reminded the Committee ,that he needs
some direction as to whether he should proceed.
Dowell instructed the Parks Department to follow up on the issue if
it can be done without incurring a lot of expense and without
demanding a lot of staff time. He didn't want to commit as a Parks
Committee on the project.
The Committee concurred.

SCENIC HILL ELEMENX Y - PARKING AGREEMENT
Wilson informed the Committee that the school district approached
the Department about their desire to develop a parking lot next to
Scenic Hill Park. The school district is enlarging the school. He
introduced Walt Seigfried from the Kent School District.
White asked how many of the large trees the school district is
proposing to take down. Seigfried did not have a nv4mber, but said
that some arrangements would have to be made for the school
district to replace them, such as planting two trees for every one
taken down.
White asked what the City can do to the rest of the park at the
same time. Helen Wickstrom said that it is time for the Department
to consider what projects it will submit to the Interagency for
Outdoor Recreation (IAC) for funding. She reported that the IAC
awards extra points to those cities which have a cooperative
agreement with the local school district.
Seigfried pointed out for White that the school district is not
increasing the school or staff, but converting six portables into
a permanent structure.
White requested that a master plan be developed for the park and
the parking lot.
Winkle said that if the City would allow the school district to
open the school on a promissory note that they will build the
parking lot, the Parks Department can use the school district' s
$60,000 to $70,OOG for the parking lot as matching funds to develop
the park.
Wilson added that the school driveway curves and is actually
located on the park property. He requested that the City give the
school district an easement for their water lines which run through
the park property. He suggested that while the City is adjusting
the legal for the parking lot construction, that they incorporate
the easement. He pointed out that the water lines 4ave been there
for 20 years and no one has said anything about its
Wilson said that he will bring the paperwork back to the Committee
once it has been prepared.

CONSERVATION FUTURES GRANT FOR PARRSIDE PARR
Helen Wickstrom informed the Committee that the City received a
request from the citizens of Salt Air Hills to develop a park on
Kent's West Hill. She reported that the City of Des Moines will
purchase a 20-acre site just north of Salt Air Hills through the
King County -Open Space Bond Issue program. There is a 2-acre site
adjacent to it which is located within the Kent City limits.
Combining the two properties would allow for a better park to serve
both the Des Moines and Salt Air Hills residents.
Wickstrom said that the Department applied for King County
Conservation Futures funds to acquire the 2-acre site and has
received approval of a matching grant awarded in the amount of
$100, 000. The City has $100,000 in the West Hill Park budget which
could be used as the local match.
White inquired about a budget to develop the property. Wickstrom
said that there is no budget now and that the Department will have
to request it later. She emphasized that the important thing now
is to acquire the property. She reported that other property north
of this parcel is being developed into multi-family housing.
Wickstrom mentioned that the Council did approve ,the interlocal
agreement at a Council meeting two weeks ago. This allows for the
transfer of funds from King County.
White moved to accept the $100,000 matching grant from King County,
to be matched by the $100,000 City budget earmarked for West Hill
Park. Johnson seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
White recommended that the City not just purchase the property and
sit it.
Dowell suggested that the City include acknowledgement on the park
site that the City of Kent is involved with the prociess and will
develop the site.
Pat Colgan from Salt Air Hills liked the idea and ;,agreed to take
the information back to the Salt Air Hills comnunl�*Y°.
PERFORMING ART6 QXNTZR TASK FORCE
Thorell gave an update on the Performing Arts Center Task Force and
their progress on the Cultural Center Study and the Cultural Plan.
She said that the task force interviewed up to 100 folks in the
community and most felt that a cultural center is necessary.
Parks Committee Minutes
January 16, 1991
Page Six
Thorell reported that the task force has worked the past six months
in the development of a project announcement. Shee ;said that the
private sector raised $10,000 in community donations and the City
is matching that with $10,000 from the general fund. Thorell added
that the task force received a $15,000 grant from the King County
hotel/motel revenues.
Thorell stated that the task force wishes to hire a consultant who
will also serve as the project manager. She said than the proposal
ra information is out and proposals are due by February 19. She also
discussed a timeline (see attached) .
White asked if the task force will also be looking at how the
project could be funded. Thorell listed several possibilities-
public/private sponsorship of the facility; public support of a
bond issue; and Green River Community College has expressed
interest in bringing their facility/money to Kent.
Thorell said that several firms have expressed their interest in
the project.
Dowell reminded the Committee that the financial aspect of this
project will be very important when it comes time to vote on it.
Tony McCarthy suggested that Shearson Lehman may be able to run
some numbers and do an analysis for the task force basically for
free.
Thorell pointed out that the task force is aware that a Performing
Arts Center will not make it on its own and members ,are looking at
all of the potentials for the facility.
PUBLIC WORK ISSUE
Due to limited time, Helen Wickstrom distributed , information
regarding an issue which will be discussed at the ne�,tt ',Public Works
Committee meeting to those committee members who are also members
of the Public Works Committee (see attached) . She asked them to
let her know if they have any problems with the proposal.
GOLF COURSE FEES
Wilson reminded the Committee about discussing at a previous
meeting the adding of sales tax to golf course fees, and requested
permission to take the issue directly to the Operations Committee
for referral on to Council for action.
Wilson's request received unanimous approval from the Parks
Committee.

THE SIDLING SUPPORT PRO41E+CT
CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR BROTHERS ANSISTERS OF
CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL NEEDS
Why Peer Support and Education for Brothers and Sisters?
Brothers and sisters of children with special health and developmental needs have concerns thathavebeen well-docu-
mented in research and clinical literature.These concerns include isolation,caregiving responsibilities,guilt,pressure
to achieve, and concerns about their and their siblings' future. Increasingly, opportunities experienced by these
siblings are also being acknowledged,including pride,loyalty,insight and an appreciati(M. of good health and family
bonds.And although the sibling relationship is the longest-lasting relationship in the family,brothers and sisters of
children with special health and developmental needs have,compared with their parents,far fewer opportunities for
peer support and education about issues pertaining to the impact of the disability or illnwss.These nondisabled chil-
dren,like their parents,deserve to have their information and support needs addressed.
What Is The Sibling Support Project?
The Sibling Support Project is a unique approach to enhance related services at the local level for families of children
with chronic illnesses and disabilities.The singular goal of the Sibling Support Project is to increase the number of peer
support and education programs throughout the U.S.This will be accomplished by:
• Providing training,demonstration and technical assistance to programs and agencies wishing to add a program for
brothers and sisters to their existing matrix of services.
• Increasing the awareness of service providers of the concerns of brothers and sisters of children with special needs
through dissemination of written material and presentations.
• Developing and refining products for dissemination about peer support and education programs for siblings of
children with chronic health impairments as well as developmental needs.
• Evaluating the effectiveness of the programs for both trainees and sibling participants.
How Will the Sibling Support Project Achieve Its Goals?
Personnel from agencies serving children with chronic health impairments and disabilities arebecoming increasingly
aware that disabilities do not occur in isolation.These staff members are sensitive to the impact of a disability on all
members of the child's family and that brothers'and sisters'concerns are too often overlooked.Staff from agencies
as diverse as children's hospitals,parent to parent programs,school districts,early intervention centers,universities,
and organizations that address the needs of people with specific disabilities or health impairments have indicated that
they would like to add peer support and education programs for siblings of the children they serve.
Project staff will respond to requests for on-site training,demonstration and technical assistance on implementing
programs for brothers and sisters.Staff will also increase awareness of sibling issues through presentations to national
and regional audiences.In collaboration with training sites,project staff will advance the state of the art for sibling
support groups through dissemination of a newsletter describing "best practices." Finally,staff will evaluate the
impact of training on both trainees and sibling participants.
How Will the�Sibling Support Project Evaluate Its Effectiveness?
A process evaluation method will be used to monitor and evaluate the Project,based upon appropriate activities iden-
tified for each of the stated objectives. Qualitative data will be gathered from trainees and sibling participants to
monitor the effectiveness of the training and the impact on the sibling participants.Milestone analysis will be con-
ducted twice yearly by the project director and the project's advisory board(comprised of parents,siblings and agency
personnel).Impact will be determined by the extent to which the project produced the intended results and will be
measured by the completion of tasks and products,and the influence on availability of support and educational
opportunities for children who have brothers and sisters with special needs.

THE SIBLING SUPPORT P!!Q
ff
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SIBSHOP, MODEL
The Sibshop model(Meyer,Vadasy,and Fewell,1986)seeks to provide brothers andsisterspf children with
special health and developmental needs opportunities for peer support and education though activities designed
to accomplish the following goals:
Goal 1
To provide brothers and sisters of children with special needs an opportunity to meet
other siblings in a relaxed recreational setting.
The chance to meet other brothers an sisters in a casual atmosphere and join them in recreational activities has several
benefits for participants.First,it can help reduce a sibling's sense of isolation.Participantsiquickly learn that there are
others who experience the special joys and challenges that they do.Second,the casual atmosphere and recreational
activities promote informal sharing and friendships among participants. Friendships begun at Sibshops and
continued outside of the program offer sibs ongoing sources of support.Third,the recreational setting of the Sibshops
helps assure that they will be rewarding for the child to attend.If a brother or a sister regards any service aimed at
siblings as yet another time demand associated with the child with special needs,he or she may find it hard to be
receptive to the information presented in the workshop.Further,if a sibling workshop fails to offer anything that is
personally satisfying for the participant,he or she is unlikely to attend them in the future.
Goal
To provide brothers and sisters with an opportunity to discuss
common joys and concerns with other siblings;and
Goal 3
To provide siblings with an opportunity to learn how
others handle situations commonly experienced by siblings of children with special needs.
Brothers and sisters of children with special health and developmental needs routinely face problems that are not ex-
perienced by other children.Defending a brother or sister from name-calling;responding to questions from friends
and strangers;and coping with a lack of attention or exceedingly high expectations from Parents are only a few of the
problems siblings may experience.At a Sibshop,participants discuss their common concerns,interests and joys,and
thereby decrease the sense that they are alone with their experiences.Further,Sibshop participants have opportunities
to learn how others have handled difficult situations.This experience can offer a sibling a broad array of solutions from
which they may choose.
Goal 4
To provide siblings with an opportunity to learn more,about
the implications of their brothers'and sisters'special heeds.
As noted above, brothers and sisters have a need for information to answer their own questions about their siblings'
special needs as well as the questions posed by friends,classmates and strangers.Sibshops offer participants oppor-
tunities to learn about the effect the disability may have on the special child's life,schgo1ing,and future.
Goal
a
To provide parents with an opportunity to learn anoro;�abdut
common concerns of brothers and sisters.
Because parents are often unaware of sibling concerns, some Sibshop activities attempt to help parents better
understand"life as a sib." One activity allows parents to meet with a panel of young adult And adult siblings to learn,
about the joys and challenges of growing up with a special brother or sister.Parents learn about what the panelists
appreciated in their parents'treatment of the children in their families and also what they wish their parents had done
differently.
w�.
The Sibshop Format
While Sibshops have run for as little as two hours and as long as a weekend,typically Sibshops are approximately
four hours long and are presented monthly or bimonthly.Information and discussion"Mities are scattered
throughout a workshop that also includes"New Games" (games designed to be unique,slightly off-beat,and
appealing to a wide ability range),cooking activities,and special guests who may teach participants mime or how
to juggle.A sample schedule of a Sibshop may include the following activities:
Trickle in activity— Group juggling
Warm up Human bingo
Discussion#1 Strengths and weaknesses
Game Sightless sculpture
Lunch Supernachos
Game Push-pin soccer
Discussion#2 Dear Aunt Blabby
Guest Physical therapist
Closing activity Sound off
The Sibshop model was originally designed for children from eight to thirteen years of age,and can be easily
adapted for older and younger children.

CULTURAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT
PROFILE SUMMARY
September 1990
Data for a cultural assessment of this community was compiled from a variety
of sources, e.g. , Bureau of the Census, Kent Planning Department, Kent Chamber
of Commerce, Southwest King County Chamber of Commerce, University of
Washington Institute for Public Policy and Management, Kent marks and
Recreation, area schools, library, questionnaire mailings, etc.
An analysis of business and development statistics clearly shows that Kent and
South King County is growing steadily. Employment forecasts indicate all
major industries will be steadily increasing, especially services and
wholesale, transportation, communications and utilities. Building permits
issued in 1987 show that Kent ranked second to Seattle in Washington.
Major industrial developments are significant in the Southcenter area, Green
River Corporate Park, and Van Doren's Landing, to list just a few. The East
Valley is predominately industrial .
Hotel trends also reflect an upsurge in growth, especially on the south side
of South 212th Street- and west of the West Valley Highway. The majority of
tourists appear to be-here on business trips. It is more convenient for these
business people to stay near the corporations they are visiting in Kent,
rather than commuting from the hotels near Sea-Tac Airport. In addition,
business people have told Kent hotel management that it is more pleasant,
quieter, and convenient to stay here. The golf courses were also mentioned as
a reason for staying in Kent.
Trends in property and sales tax revenues indicate steady ireases.
Transportation has become more congested as the area attempts to cope with the
increasing growth. New east-west arterials are planned by the City to link
the East Hill/Soon Creek areas with the Kent Valley's employment center and
the I-5 freeway.
- 5 -
i
The minority population in Kent is representative of the area in general ,
i .e., the overwhelming majority is white, 93%. The remaining minorities are
divided into four categories: Asian or Pacific Islander, people of Spanish
origin, blacks, and Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut.
Ethnic groups are primarily of German, Irish, or Scandinavian descent.
There are approximately 50 cultural events held •by the Cultural and Special
Services division of the Kent Parks Department annually. These range from
lectures attended by 70 people to major events such as the Balloon Classic
(15,000 attendance) to the Canterbury Faire (40,000 attendance).
The results of a Kent Arts survey indicate that 53 percent of the respondents
rank the arts of general importance. Forty-one percent of the respondents
spend their leisure time attending arts events.
There are at least 21 projects planned regarding parks in Kent. Some major
park projects are the East Hill Neighborhood Park, frontage and trails along
Green River, and expansion of Lake Fenwick Park.
The existing library can no longer meet the needs of this growing community.
Thus, a larger regional library will be completed in 1991, reflecting the role
Kent plays as an area of regional importance. Other smaller libraries are
also planned for 1993 and 1997.
Kent is the fifth largest school district in Washington. Arta schools offer
classes in fine arts. There are music classes offering band., orchestra, and
chorus. Typically, between 14 percent and 25 percent of the students in high
school participate in these classes. Few of the Kent elementary schools have
an artist-in-residence program. Most art teachers who were contacted
expressed a desire to have a facility with low rental fees which could be used
for school musicals, art shows, dramatic performances, etc.
- 6 -
The senior population of Kent is steadily increasing. At pre$ent, it
comprises approximately 8 percent of the population. The Senior Activity
Center serves the needs of this group.
Special programming for the physically-challenged is carried out by the staff
at the Resource Center, which is part of the Special Populations division of
Kent Parks and Recreation. Approximately 21,138 people participated in 668
programs in 1989, an increase of 26 percent from 1988. The Resource Center's
programs are attended by the population of greater South King,'lCounty.
The population of Kent has been increasing, reflecting the trend in South King
County. Kent was ranked #13 (population 34,860) in 1989 in Washington, out of
a total of 266 cities. The biggest population increase in South King County
is expected to be in the Soos Creek Plateau, Enumclaw and other .nearby areas,
with a population of 344,000 by the year 2020.
The 20' to 64 age group has been the largest age group in the area, comprising
19 percent of the population by 2000.
The per capita household income of Kent residents was $29,314, in 1987.
Housing costs are approximately $80,602, with the most desirable area to live
being the East Hill .
Cultural organizations, in answer to a recent survey questionnaire, generally
supported the use of public funds for a cultural center. The: belief was that
an arts center in Kent -meant the City would become the arts center of South
King County. Most organizations expressed the feeling that the arts center
would allow them to reach a larger audience. The most pressfng issues voiced
by the organizations is the need for a facility, the need for continued or
increased funding, and the increased support/coverage of theltarts by the local
media.

RE: King County Recycling and,,Comgosting_Demonstration Site
Dear Ms. Siegel :
As a follow-up to your meeting with our consultant, John Watson, I would
like to confirm King County's interest in locating a community recycling and
composting demonstration site in Kent and to enlist your help'in getting
necessary buy-off from City officials.
As you know, the King County Solid Waste Division is conducting a.community
education program called'Master Recycler Composter (MRC) in' Kent this
winter. The purpose of the program is to educate residents about managing
garbage in the home through waste reduction, recycling and composting. The
program has many elements, among them a training program for volunteers, a
permanent demonstration site, and a community outreach effort. The Solid
Waste Division will provide all of the program elements, but would like the
City of Kent to consider hosting the permanent demonstration site. The site
will provide examples of backyard composting systems and feature displays on
recycling and waste reduction concepts.
The Ci tv of Kent's i nvol vcnenz :n thl s -educati oo of fo'i't 'is important to us.
We think the site will benefit the city and fts residents by providing
informational resources and activities on waste reduction, recycling and
composting. We would like to work closely with the cities to Maximize the
effects of this program, in Kent and to meet any outreach needs you may have.
We would like to begin construction of a demonstration site in mid-March of
1991. Based on our past experience, we know that there are mapy '�steps in
the process from site selection to final construction. We hopO that an
initial decision to locate a site in conjunction with the city can be made
soon and would like to offer assistance in any way that we can-' to assist you
in presenting this program to city officials. Attached is a proposal sheet
offering information on the Master Recycler Composter program Olements.

MASTER RECYCLER COMPOSTER (MRC) EAUCATION PRE M
The King County Solid Waste Division is conducting a MasterlReCycler
Composter (MRC) education program in communities throughout,Xing County.
The purpose of the program is to provide citizens with the information they
need to make wise choices about waste management in the home. 'It seeks to
change behavior by raising awareness of the solid waste problem and
providing the tools necessary to minimize resource consumption and waste
generation. The education program has three elements, inclyding a training
program for volunteers, permanent demonstration sites and a 'community
outreach effort.
Master Recycler Composter Training Program
The education program will train a core of community volunteers in practical
waste reduction, recycling and composting techniques. In return for the
training, the volunteers will be asked to share their knowledge with others
in the community. This will be done through a structured outreach plan
developed in coordination with a volunteer coordinator. To 'date, King
County has trained three groups of volunteers. A fourth training program
will start in Kent in January 1991 .
Recycling and Composting Demonstration Site
As part of the MRC training program, participants construct a recycling and
composting demonstration site in the training community. Two sites have
been built to date -- one at the Redmond City Hall and a second at the Lake
