DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas(PRNA) Plan Update—Statistically Valid Survey—Erica Schmitz reviewed the highlights of the PRNA update's statistically valid survey results, noting that overall, community members are satisfied with the parks, recreation and natural areas system (65%), and very few are unsatisfied (9%). See attached survey memo and PowerPoint Briefing. Board members asked about the question on safety, and if it was possible to find out the reasons for the answers. The question asked was about the top priorities for funding. Safety and maintenance were identified as top funding priorities.The nature of the survey didn't allow for differentiation between those who felt continuing to fund safety was important versus allocating new resources. One way that safety concerns are being addressed in the updated plan is through prioritizing park improvements that increase the sense of safety by providing amenities that draw people to generate a higher level of use and creating or maintaining open sightlines in parks.The survey,which was sent to 3400 people, resulted in 325 responses and the results confirms what they heard at the other opportunities of engagement. Tour of Coulon Projects—Alan Wyatt provided an overview of the structural improvement projects that have been completed at various locations in the park. Illustrative graphics were furnished to Board Members for reference of the recently completed projects.The Ivar's deck, Boat Launch, Day Moorage,Sailing Club, and Trestle Bridge projects received structural improvements.

Revealed during construction work, extensive deterioration of the foundation and fasteners and required unforeseen repairs and replacements to the facilities were discovered which required additional investment and work. In the course of repairing the Trestle Bridge, it was determined that the Trestle Bridge would require extensive repairs or replacement due to the condition of the existing pilings. The recognition of capital improvement and maintenance projects and the issuance of the bonds in March of 2019 identified several projects within Coulon Beach Park.A sequencing chart and overview of these recommended projects on Park Bond and CIP project list was provided to the Park Board. Playground Equipment Replacement—Renton received a $605,400.00 legislative grant for the replacement of the play equipment at Coulon Park. Bond projects for consideration include: Swim Beach-erosion of the current bulkhead will require further investigation and research to determine the scope of repairs. North Water Walk —meeting the 2028 Department of Natural Resources lease requirement for removal of all wood timber,the North Water Walk& Picnic Floats are being planned for major improvements including light penetrating decking, replacement of wood timber with plastic timber, refurbishment of utilities, lighting, and guardrails. Trestle Bridge—replacement of the existing bridge with a new clear-span (no pilings) bridge similar to the new Riverview Bridge and an overlook area with interpretive signage. North Bulkhead/Rose Wall-structural improvements to the North Bulkhead/Rosewall will require further investigation in order to determine the scope of the repairs or replacement.

The City is updating the Plan with guidance from staff, partners, and community members, including the City's Inclusion Task Force. The Washington Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) requires that agencies have an adopted parks plan every six years to be eligible for grant funding. The Plan was last updated in 2011. This Plan update kicked off in January 2019 and is scheduled conclude in January 2020 in order to renew grant eligibility. Since last presenting to the Committee of the Whole on May 13th, the project team has engaged the community in the planning process with a second open house, including an online open house, and a community survey. These engagement activities and the resulting public input are briefly described below. Additionally, Inclusion Task Force members are leading a second round of inclusive community discussions about the Plan. Alongside the engagement, the project team has advanced the technical components of the plan including a Natural Areas Evaluation Tool and the analyses of access to park and recreation opportunities. The project team is also preparing for upcoming public engagement activities. The Steering Committee will convene September 12th to discuss project prioritization. The third and final Open House, October 3rd from 6:00-8:00 pm at the Renton Community Center, will invite community members to prioritize categories of projects included in the Plan and will also include an online open house. The Draft Plan will be available for public review and Council consideration this winter. Council President Persson Page 2 of 5 September 13,2019 Community Survey A statistically valid survey was conducted between July 10 and August 15, 2019 by EMC Research among 325 residents in the City of Renton.The overall margin of error is +/- 5.4% at a 95% confidence interval. Surveys were mailed to randomly selected addresses, and respondents had the option of taking the survey online or via mail. The survey was offered in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Following are key takeaways from the survey findings. For an executive summary of survey results, see Attachment A. Residents are satisfied with parks, recreation, and natural areas in Renton The majority of residents are satisfied overall with the parks, recreation, and natural areas system in Renton. 64% of all residents rate their overall satisfaction as a 4 or 5 [on a scale of 1 (Not at All Satisfied) to 5 (Extremely Satisfied)]. More than half(57%) of residents are also satisfied with the number of parks and natural areas available in their neighborhood. 62% of all residents are satisfied with how well maintained and clean the parks, recreational facilities, and natural areas a re. Usage of neighborhood parks and natural areas is highest Half(52%) of all residents frequently visit (10+times a year) a local neighborhood park. More than half(58%) also use multi-use paved trails regularly (at least five times a year), and more than half (56%) of all residents say they walk or hike a Renton trail at least five times a year. Safety and community outreach are improvement opportunities Safety in parks, recreational facilities and natural areas, as well as communication and outreach, are potential improvement areas. Nearly three-quarters (73%) consider safety to be important (giving a rating of 4 or 5 on a 1-5 scale). Comparatively,just over half(52%) say they are satisfied with the safety of parks and natural areas. There is also a large gap between how important residents rate communication and outreach. 57% of residents rate communication and outreach as a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1 (Not at all Important) to 5 (Extremely Important). 42% rated their satisfaction level with how Renton is doing this aspect as a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1 (Not at all satisfied) to 5 (Extremely satisfied). Priorities for Investment Residents do not want to decrease funding to any existing services, facilities, or amenities. The survey tested a number of potential investments.There were no potential investments for which a plurality said the City should invest less or not at all. 68% of residents are in favor of Renton investing more in a year-round farmers market, and 57% of residents suggest Renton should invest in enclosing the aquatics center. Over a majority (58%) of all residents support investing more to remove invasive plant species in natural areas and 52% support investing to acquire more land to expand natural corridors. There is less interest overall in increasing investments in recreation programming, but there is also little call to invest less. Council President Persson Page 3 of 5 September 13,2019 Open House #2 and Online Extension The second Community Open House for the Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan was held June 4th b from 3:00 to 7:00 pm in the Renton Pavilion Events l Center and coincided with the opening day of the - Renton Farmers Market. The open house was adapted in an online format that was available in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese from June 4t" to June 30t", extending participation opportunities. Approximately 150 community members participated in the in-person open house and there were 364 responses to the online open house, with 186 responses completing all online questions. The Open House and online extension were promoted to community members through a variety of communication channels; for a summary, see Attachment B. Open House #2, June 4, 2019 Key themes emerged from input received at the open house and through the online open house and are summarized below. For a summary of the in-person and online open house, click here. • The goals established in the 2011 Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan were confirmed as important by the community. Goal B, "Creating a Connected System", Goal E, "Ensuring a Sustainable System" and Goal F, "Promoting Health and Community Through Programming" were most emphasized by participants as "Very Important". • Nature, especially animals, spending time in nature, hiking or observing wildlife were highlighted by community members as important features of the parks, recreation and natural areas system. • Access to water, especially paddling and viewing points, was also a common theme. Participants are interested in exercise opportunities in parks, especially fitness equipment, and opportunities for play. • City-wide events and arts and culture events were prioritized higher than other event types by respondents in both the in-person and online versions of the open house. • The highest priority park type according to respondents was natural areas. Natural Areas Evaluation Tool Management of Renton's natural areas is an important need. Findings from the public involvement process indicate that residents feel strongly about balancing public access to natural resource areas with the need to protect and conserve these important assets. When urban natural areas like those in Renton are untended, they typically do not function as stable, healthy ecosystems. Council President Persson Page 4 of 5 September 13,2019 Without management and intervention, these natural areas are more likely to be on a long-term trajectory of deterioration. Heightened management and maintenance of natural resources is recommended. The future management and maintenance of natural areas within the city will require coordination to ensure efficient and strategic use of resources. The Natural Areas Evaluation Tool, developed for the updated Plan, will support the community and City staff in gradually improving stewardship of Renton's natural areas. This tool utilizes a systematic continuum approach to prioritizing and managing these areas. The approach begins with inventorying natural areas and moves into stabilization, at which point the natural area is no longer deteriorating, and then improvement, and gradually, restoration and maintenance. The tool provides guidance about the maintenance activities and restoration that are needed at each phase of the continuum. The tool also provides prioritization criteria that will help the City identify the natural areas to focus on first. The Natural Areas Evaluation Tool will be an appendix to the Plan. Access Analysis Access to parks and facilities is one of the key analyses informing recommendations in the Plan. The project team reviewed and improved the analysis conducted in 2011, by refining and updating the street and trail network and access points. These analyses identify areas that are within a 10- minute walk (about % mile) to developed parks, natural areas, sports fields and trails. Each analysis measures the 10-minute walk based on paths of travel along streets and trails and access points into parks. The analyses also accounts for barriers such as dead-ends and highways. In recent years, providing parks within a 10-minute walk has emerged as a national standard backed by the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA), the Trust for Public Land (TPL) and the Urban Land Institute. Renton was a leader in this methodology, having first applied it in 2010, long before this approach became the national best practice. Renton continues to advance the industry standard by evaluating access to specific facilities that are important to the community. • Developed Park Access: A base-level analysis identifying the locations in Renton that have, and do not have a developed neighborhood, community or regional park within a 10- minute walk (1/2 mile). The Valley,Talbot, Benson and East Plateau Community Planning Areas contain the largest unserved areas. Pockets in other parts of the city exist as well. • Developed Park Access and Residential Density: Identifies areas planned for higher density commercial or residential development. Due to the anticipated increase and intensity of use, a higher density of parks (within a 5 minute walk or% mile) is proposed. • Natural Area Access: Proximity to natural areas is examined. Ready access to nature is primarily located in the Valley and Cedar River Community Planning Areas, along with the north (May Creek) and southeast (Soos Creek) edges of the City. • Sports Field Access:The combined locations of the City of Renton and the Renton School District sports fields provides much of the City with access to fields within a 10-minute walk. The largest gaps are in Valley,Talbot and Benson Community Planning Areas. Council President Persson Page 5 of 5 September 13,2019 • Trail Access: This analysis map illustrates the 10-minute walk access to either a formal trailhead or other trail entry, with the goal of identifying areas for signage or trailhead improvements. Goals and Objectives Public input received and technical analysis completed to date have substantially confirmed that the 2011 Plan goals and objectives have succeeded as long-term guidance for the system. The only major changes are to address equity within the goals and to add an objective to develop and implement a consistent system of wayfinding signage to help users navigate the parks, recreation and natural areas system. Next Steps Public Outreach • Currently, members of the Mayor's Inclusion Task Force are completing the second phase of inclusive community outreach. • The full Inclusion Task Force will receive an update and lessons learned in November. • The Steering Committee is meeting September 12 to weigh in on prioritization of project categories for the updated plan. • The third and final Community Open House is October 3rd from 6:00—8:00 pm at the Renton Community Center and will focus on community preferences and priorities. Spanish and Vietnamese interpretation will be available. • An Online Open House will replicate the open house activities in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. Plan Update Process: Council Action Needed • A final Committee of the Whole Briefing is requested for late October/early November to inform council members about the plan before it moves to the SEPA process. Topics covered will include level of service, park concept plans, the project list and cost model, recommendations, implementation plan, and the results of the third Open House and second phase of inclusive outreach. • The draft plan will begin the SEPA process in early November, concluding at the end of December. • The plan is targeted for council adoption by the end of January 2020 and certification by March 2020, in order to meet RCO deadlines for grant eligibility. Thank you for the opportunity to provide this update. Please let us know if you have any questions about the contents of this memo or the plan update in general. Attachments Attachment A: EMC Research Community Survey Executive Summary Attachment B: Outreach for Open House#2 and Online Open House ATTACHMENT A EMC research TO: Interested Parties FROM: Ian Stewart, EMC Research RE: City of Renton Parks, Recreation, and Natural Areas Community Survey DATE: September 4, 2019 Summary Most residents are satisfied with parks, recreational programming, and natural areas the City of Renton provides. Local neighborhood parks and natural areas get a high amount of usage. Most recreational programming is used at least once yearly by a plurality of residents, although there is some variation across demographics. Safety and communication are opportunity areas to focus on. Looking forward, there is no strong call to pare back on investments for any park, programming, or natural area priorities that were tested. However, only a few priorities tested over a majority wanting more/new investment: a year-round farmers market, enclosing the aquatics center, removing invasive species in natural areas, and acquiring land to expand natural area corridors. Ivey Findings Residents are satisfied with parks, recreational programming, and natural areas in Renton The majority of residents are satisfied overall with the parks, recreation, and natural areas system in Renton. 64%of all residents rate their satisfaction as a 4 or 5 (on a scale of 1 Not at All Satisfied to 5 Extremely Satisfied).There is very little difference in opinion across age groups, gender, ethnicities, geography, and between households with children vs.those without. More than half(57%) of residents are also satisfied (4 or 5 on a scale on a scale of 1 Not at All Satisfied to 5 Extremely Satisfied)with the number of parks/natural areas accessible in their neighborhood, and 62% of all residents are satisfied with how well maintained and clean parks, recreational facilities, and natural areas are kept. Usage of neighborhood parks and natural areas is highest Half(52%) of all residents frequently(10 or more times a year)visit a local neighborhood park. More than half(58%) also use multi-use paved trails regularly(at least five times a year), and more than half (56%) of all residents say they walk or hike a Renton trail at least five times a year. Fewer residents in the South (as defined residents in the planning areas of Benson, Cedar River, and Talbot) regularly visit (5+times a year) a local park compared to elsewhere in the City (57%of residents in the South regularly visit a neighborhood park compared to 72%citywide). Fewer residents over the age of 65 and Asian residents regularly visit (5+times a year) natural areas to walk or hike (40%and 38% respectively, compared to 56%citywide). Facilities such as sports courts and fields get less use overall (18%of all residents use a sports court at least five times year; 17% regularly use a sports field), but a higher proportion of parents use sports courts regularly(38%of parents say they play on sports courts and fields at least 5 times a year). A quarter (26%) of seniors regularly (5+times a year)visit the community or senior activity center.

There is support to offer more recreational programming. Overall, 53%of residents rate the importance of offering more recreational programming a 4 or 5 (on a scale of 1 Not at all important to 5 Extremely Important). Safety and community outreach are improvement opportunities While a majority(52%) of residents say they are satisfied (giving a rating of 4 or 5 on a 1-5 scale)with the safety in Renton parks/recreation facilities/natural areas, and a plurality(42%) are satisfied with communication and outreach, these are two areas that could receive additional focus. When asked in an open-ended question what would encourage more use of the system, nearly 1 in 5 said something related to improving safety/security. Furthermore, nearly three-quarters (73%) consider safety in parks/recreational facilities/natural areas to be important (giving a rating of 4 or 5 on a 1-5 scale). Comparatively,just over half(52%) say they are satisfied (4 or 5 on a 1-5 scale) with the safety of parks and natural areas.This indicates that while safety isn't a glaring problem at the moment, there is an opportunity to close that gap and improve residents' perceptions. The gap between the importance of safety and the perceived safety of parks is widest among women, residents under<65, residents living in the South or Northwest, and non-white residents. There is also a large gap between how important residents rate communication and outreach (57%of residents rate this as a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1 Not at all Important to 5 Extremely important) to their satisfaction rating with how Renton is doing on this aspect (42%say rated their satisfaction a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1 Not at all satisfied to 5 Extremely satisfied). Priorities for Investment Overall, residents are generally satisfied with how the City handles tax dollars for parks, recreation facilities, and natural areas, with 60% rating their satisfaction a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1 to 5.There are really no services, facilities, or amenities residents want to pull back funding from. On a number of potential investments tested, there were none in which a plurality say Renton should invest less or not at all. 68% of residents are in favor of Renton investing more in a year-round farmers market, and 57%of residents suggest Renton should invest in enclosing the aquatics center. A plurality also support investing in a new all-weather field complex(45%), new multi-generational center (45%), and support investing in new playgrounds with unique play equipment (43%). Over a majority (58%) of all residents support investing more to remove invasive plant species in natural areas and 52%support investing to acquire more land to expand natural corridors. �IMC' research City of Renton Parks,Recreation,and Natural Areas 2019 Community Survey When it comes to recreational programs, over half(53%) say it is important (4 or 5 on a scale of 1 Not at all important to 5 Extremely Important) to offer more recreational programming.
