SPECIAL POPIILATIONS GOLD MEDAL. AXM
Wilson announced that he just returned from the National Recreation
and Park Conference held in Baltimore, where the City of Kent Parks
Department was awarded a national award for the Special Populations
program. He said that only two such awards are given out in the
United States. Kent competed against all cities with populations
less than 200,000.
Wilson reported that Kent Parks Department has won three national
awards: the Gold Medal Award for overall operations, the Dorothy
Mullen Award for Cultural Arts, and the national award for the
Special Populations program.
The committee viewed the slide show which was submitted for the
award.
BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FOR SPECIAL POPULATIONI YOUTH AT RIQK PROJECT
Wilson began by comparing Parks Department budget cuts with Human
Services budget cuts.
He assured the committee that he was not asking for an end run on
the budget but for budget consideration if monie%-are available in
the future. He said that the program will be hurt If the Youth at
Risk Coordinator position does not remain at full time status and
the half time clerical position is not retained.
Wilson said staff immediately realized that the position was a full
time position, so the department took monies gained from hiring the
Youth at Risk Coordinator late and brought the employee in on a
full time basis. Now at the end of the year, the department is

caught in the trap of having a full time position which will have
to be dropped back to 3/4 RPT unless a solution is determined.
Wilson explained for the Committee that when the fourth floor was
remodeled, the entire Cultural staff moved to the fourth floor,
which included a part-time clerical position housed at the Resource
Center.
Staff presented four options for funding and recommended Option 2,
to increase program fees from $60 to $70 a week to fund the Youth
at Risk Coordinator position at full time. This increase in fees
would generate an additional $13,000 in revenue (see attachment) .
Wilson said that with an increase in fees, the department can cover
the funding of the Youth at Risk Coordinator position at full time,
but requested future consideration for funding the .5 RPT clerical
position.
Hansen commented that the issue has been to the IBC twice. He
admitted that this is a tough issue, but the IBC does not consider
the value of the program or the value of staff as the issue, but
rather the $6 million deficit and the hiring moratorium. He said
that the IBC will not support any replacements or additional
positions.
Both Kathy Mohle, a single parent, and Carolyn Wiley of Neely-
O'Brien Elementary spoke very highly of the Youth at Risk program
and urged the committee to find additional funding.
Hansen added that when the reorganization was originally proposed
to the IPC, the committee was concerned that the Parks Department
would come back and ask that the position be replaced. He said
that the committee did not want to approve anything which would
later have a financial impact.
White said that there have been other exceptions since the hiring
freeze and pointed out that 1,800 day campers and youths at risk
are affected by this program.
In response to White's question, Hansen responded that
Administration would not be willing to allow the Parks Department
to increase fees to fund the position at full time. He said that
there is a moratorium on hiring and that this policy must be
applied citywide for nine departments.
Dowell questioned why departments aren't allowed to increase fees
to fund a position or program. Hansen responded that what
departments depict as costs are rather simplified and there are
Parks Committee Minutes

additional costs. These additional costs have contributed to the
deficit.
Johnson moved to authorize the Parks Department to increase program
fees from $60 to $70 a week to fund the Youth at Ri0k Coordinator
as a full time position (Option 2) ; and in the interim, the
Resource Center will have to do without the half time position.
White seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Wilson said that he will continue to work with King County to see
if funds are available. He asked if the Parks Department could use
funds from King County to fund the .5 RPT clerical position if
funds are available. His question was never answered.
LIGHTING AT LAKE FENWIQK
Catie Larson and other residents of the Lake Fenwick neighborhood
were present to request lighting at Lake Fenwick Park, in the
unimproved parking lot at the north end and along the park area of
Lake Fenwick Road.
Jack Ball reported that the project will require three separate
services totaling $18,000.
Wilson said that he was instructed by the Mayor to bring the issue
up with Council so that it would become a priority at a later date.
White asked staff to explore whether Puget Power Would consider
making lights in the park street lights and consider a lease
situation with the City.
Catie Larson requested that the City close off the north parking
lot at dusk in the meantime.
The Committee directed staff to come back to the next meeting with
options for lighting and closing off the parking lot. Staff was
also asked by the committee to make contact with theg residents of
the area to let them know what is being done.
Mr. Clark commented that there are trees in thy; which are
dangerous and requested that they be removed. �' � :; , assured
Mr. Clark that his staff will get to this type of project as winter
approaches.

The Committee directed staff to come back to the next meeting with
options for lighting and closing off the parking lot. Staff was
also asked by the committee to make contact with the residents of
the area to let them know what is being done.
Mr. Clark commented that there are trees in the lake which are
dangerous and requested that they be removed. Jack Ball assured
Mr. Clark that his staff will get to this type of project as winter
approaches.

believe this would negatively impact the number of registrations, thus lowing the overall
program revenue.
