V. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS
Aaron Oesting, Assistant Library Director, accessed the re-vamped City
website, and showcased Community Services Department pages. He gave
everyone an overview of the contents, pages, various divisions, and interactive
maps. The Board commented on how `clean and user friendly' the site is now
and thanked Aaron for his time.
VI. ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
2009 Budget Report
Leslie Betlach, Parks Director, reviewed the PowerPoint second quarter
Financial Report presentation given at the Council meeting on September 8,
2008. Leslie explained the revenue shortfalls warranted a potential 7%
reduction in expenditures for the 2009 budget. This would be accomplished by
not filling some current vacant positions, reducing capital and line item
expenditures. She mentioned the length of the Boeing strike will affect the
City's revenue also.
Retreat
Last year the Board members and staff spent four hours on a Saturday and
took a tour of some facilities in Bellevue. Tim Searing and Terry Higashiyama
were working on ideas for a retreat for this fall. The Board felt we should have
a defined agenda and remarked how they all enjoyed the facility tour previously
taken. Jerry Rerecich indicated the focus of the retreat would probably be goal
setting and planning and most likely be for approximately four hours on a
Saturday. Tim Searing indicated he would meet with Terry in the next couple of
weeks and draft an agenda and work plan to bring to the October meeting.
VII. OLD BUSINESS
Ron Regis Park Update
Leslie Betlach, Parks Director, gave an update of the status of the grants for the
second phase of construction. We were number 24 out of 76 and missed the
funding threshold by 1.5 million dollars. While it is unlikely we will make the first
cuts, projects ahead of the City may drop out allowing the City to be funded.
We are currently looking for other funding resources, such as sponsorships.

RE: Maplewood Golf Course Proposed Fee Increase
Dear Park Board Members,
Maplewood Golf Course is requesting approval for the following fee increases:
*Proposed Rental Club fee increase from $10 to $15 =net increase of$5
*Proposed Senior 18 hole weekdav green fee increase from $19 to $20 = net increase of$1
*Proposed 18 hole weekend�reen fee increase from $33 to $35 =net increase of$2
*Proposed 9 hole weekdav�reen fee increase from $19 to $20=net increase of$1
The Senior 18-hole weekday and 9-hole weekday green fees were last increased in April of
2006. The last rental club fee increase occurred in 1999.
The 18-hole weekend green fee was increased in 2008, this increase will keep Maplewood at
the market average.
The proposed fee increase will allow Maplewood to remain competitive within the market,
continue to grow our business and complete major maintenance and CIP projects needed to
provide a quality facility. In addition, support operational increases including benefits and
non-budgeted repair work that arise from an aging building.
The attached Competitive Market Analysis, 2008 Fee Comparison and proposed 2009 Major
Maintenance projects will support our request and demonstrate that Maplewood, while one of
the better-maintained and popular golf courses in the area, is now comparable to the
municipal fee average.
Thank you for your consideration,
Kelly Beymer
Golf Course Manager

Park Board Status Report
September 2008
PARKS AND TRAILS
Cascade Mall Recreation Improvements
Staff is in discussion with the Cascade Mall owner and Cascade Vista Athletic
Club (CVAC)for proposed improvements to the mall's ball field (leased to
CVAC), and other possible athletic opportunities.
Cascade Park
APS Survey and Mapping, LLC, completed surveying property boundary lines at
the park in late August. Existing fence lines coincide with the property boundary
in most instances and no major encroachments could be found. A record of
survey is being filed with King County.
Cedar River Boathouse Structural Review
Structural review was completed in July 2008. The building, pier, and floats are
in good shape, with minor repairs needed to the building and floats.
Cedar River Shoreline at Jones Park Bank Slope Protection
Design work for bank slope protection will commence this fall, with construction
in late summer 2009.
Trails and Bikewavs Studv and Map
A contract with MacLeod Reckord has been executed for Parks and
Transportation to jointly prepare a non-motorized plan which includes
transportation routes for bicyclists; recreational trails; including soft surFace for
hiking and multi-use paved trails; trail standards; signage recommendations; a
map; a planning document; and the ability to link a trails map to the City's
website. A final revised draft will be available for staff review the first week of
August. Briefings to Park Board, the Mayor, and Council, as well as a third Open
House will be scheduled to obtain additional input. The estimated time for
completion of this project is the fourth quarter of 2008.
Loqan Avenue Bike Lane
Transportation Systems Division is coordinating with Boeing (with Parks input)for
�ocating a southbound bike lane on Logan Avenue between North 6th and the
intersection of Park and Logan. Construction should commence this summer
and be complete in mid-September 2008.
Burnett Linear Park Improvements
Work will be complete the first week of September 2008. The new ten foot-wide
walkway and plaza are completed and the horse structure has been relocated to
the little plaza on the south end. A re-dedication of the park will be held on
October 11, 2008, at 9:00 a.m.

Jones Park Walkwav Improvements
Work expected to commence this fall and includes sidewalk removal and
replacement.
Ron Reqis Park
Staff is applying for two grants through the State of Washington and King County
to help fund proposed improvements including synthetic turF for the two soccer
fields. Design expected to start in September 2008, with construction in summer
of 2009, and completion by late fall of 2009. Parks will also be requesting
funding from the City, the Parks Mitigation Fund, and most likely the Custer Fund
for 2009. This will be the focus of capital improvements for parks in 2009. A
scout volunteer project is being planned for the fall to plant trees and shrubs
along flood-control blocks adjacent to the Cedar River Trail.
Teasdale Park Irriqation
A new irrigation system and improved field drainage design is underway.
Construction started on July 14, 2008, and will be complete by late September
2008.
