BACKGROUND • City Facilities Naming Policy,Number 600-04, dated March 8, 1999, governs park naming. This policy states that the Park Board shall, following review and consideration of public and staff input, select a name and then forward the name through the Mayor's office to the Renton City Council for final approval and adoption. • City Policy further states that, in circumstances where a person's name is being considered as the park name,the approval process requires a six-month waiting period before fmal acceptance. Finally,the policy does not prevent the Mayor from recommending another park name,nor does it limit the City Council from considering other names before a final decision is made. • At'the public meetings h?ld during the design process for the new park on Union Avenue, citizens in attendance were asked to identify appropriate names for the . park temporarily called Heather Downs. The most requested names were: (1) Barfield Park; (2)Heritage Park; and(3)Heather Downs Park. • Staff brought these three Inames forward to the Park Board on November 8, 2005, for consideration. After lengthy discussion,without consensus, the Park Board felt they wanted additional citizen input before deciding on a recommendation. • An additional mailing was sent to all residents who left addresses at the public meetings as well as all residents living within 300 feet of the park's perimeter. A total of 89 letters were sent. • Forty-two (42)responses;were returned with the tally evenly split among the three names. Staff, in considering the citizen input,recommended to the Park Board the name"Heritage Park'i in order(1)to honor all groups having historical ties to the neighborhood and(2);to recognize these other groups with suitable features i:\2006 park board\parknaming.doc Park Board Members Page,2 of 2 December 11,2006 (art,markers, etc.) under the umbrella of the name"Heritage Park" (see attached agenda for the staff rationale). • At the December 13, 2005,park board meeting, the Superintendent of the Renton School District attended and introduced another name for the park. Her choice was"Bev Barfield Park",named after a respected, elected school-board member who contributed much to the youth of the community and whose family lived for some time in the area of the park. • After some discussion,the Park Board voted three to one to recommend the name "Bev Barfield Park"(see attached minutes for the detailed recommendation of the Park Board). • The support for the choice of this park name is contained in the correspondence from the Superintendent of Schools(copy attached).. New Administrator met with all parties involved in naming process,commencing in May of 2006. 4z, rust rad' (2,22 Ge55 O 'r- drdti`vr— • Letter submitted from school district on naming(see attached).-}0 gest • Sub-Committee established to review past Park Board work on new park. They have met several times to do research and make a recommendation to park board on the next step. CONCLUSION The Park Board, as outlined in the December 13, 2005, minutes, elected to recommend the name of Bev Barfield Park for the new park. After further review the Sub-Committee recommends the name"Heritage Park". This name celebrates the African American families who settled in the area and also the current and future diversity of the Renton Community. There will be a bench installed in memory of Clyde Barfield and also a bench to honor Bev and John Barfield and their contributions to the community. A celebration and dedication will be coordinated with each family. Storyboards will also be installed at the entrance of the park to share the history of the community. Markers along the trail in the park will help visitors to understand how the land was used in the past. The new artwork will greet visitors.with the word"home"in 48 different languages. The dedication and official opening will occur in May of 2007.

Recommendation: Approve the expenditure of$10,000 from Fund 125 for the proposed art project. Background: • The City of Renton funds art for its municipal building projects through a 1% for Art Program. • Construction of the new area park will generate$13,400 through 1% for Art. • The Municipal Arts Commission(MAC),which is trusted with assessing public art and making related recommendations to the Mayor,developed, reviewed, and discussed a number of concepts for public art for the new park. • The MAC focused on projects that would incorporate the City theme that"Renton is a great place to live, work, and play". Reflecting the diversity of the neighborhood was also an important project component for the Commission. • Beside visual appeal,potentialart concepts were also evaluated for their scale, durability, safety,maintainability, vandal resistance, and relative ease of installation. • Various placement options and methods of production and installation were considered. • The Municipal Arts Commission is proposing inset etched stainless steel panels around the 72' circumference of a concrete seating wall that surrounds a prime feature of the park,a landscaped berm. Attached exhibits are provided to show the scale and location of the work in the park. The word"Home"will be replicated in the 48 languages spoken in the Renton School District. More h:\peter renner 2006\newparkartissuepaper.doc Page 2 of 2 - - September 11,2006 • detailed conceptual representations will be available for review when the project is considered in the Community Services Committee. • The MAC is seeking approval for the project now because funding is needed for the translation service. • The total budget for this project is$10,000 and includes Washington State Sales Tax. The dollars for this project are available in Fund 125. • Presented to Park Board on July 11,2006. Conclusion: The public art that has been developed and proposed by the Municipal Arts Commission will enhance the quality and appearance of the park and serve as an open invitation for all neighborhood and City residents to feel welcome to use and enjoy it.

It is always a joy to welcome a new neighborhood park into the already strong park system in Renton. After our conversation, and the understanding that a fitting memorial plaque or picnic area would be dedicated to Bev and John Barfield at the new park, we are willing to withdraw our earlier request that the park be named for the family. We are pleased to support the memorial area, to be created in consultation with the children of Bev and John and with the input of Al Talley, in lieu of naming the park.

CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Terry Higashiyama gave the Board an update on the budget, which passed December 11. We did not sustain any cuts this year and will get a new Project Manage I for capital projects, some temporary support, a library position, and parks worker. We will invite Michael Bailey, Finance Administrator, to attend a future meeting. VII. CONSENT ITEMS LY. New Park ° Terry Higashiyama gave an overview on the history and background of the naming of the new prk. She explained how she met with all parties involved in May of 2006 and a Sub-Committee was formed and conducted extensive research of the history of the area. The goal was to identify and celebrate the community and research an appropriate name to reflect the past, present, and future. A bench will be installed by the Barfield family in memory of Clyde Barfield, who originally owned the land. A second bench would be dedicated to Bev and John Barfield, who were so active in the community and devoted their time to children. A storyboard, with markers on the trail, will recognize the heritage of everyone. Terry thanked the members of the Sub-Committee for their time and involvement. Tarron and Cynthia both thanked Terry for the opportunity to be involved and preserve the history of the area. Cynthia Burns made a motion to recommend a second name for consideration to the Mayor and Council for the new park on Union Avenue. Upon further investigation into the history of the area, and in consideration of the current and future diverse culture of the community, the Park Board Sub-Committee believes "Heritage Park' would best represent an appropriate name for the park. Troy Wigestrand seconded the motion, all were in favor, motion carried. VIII. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS Homeless Karen Bergsvik, Human Services Manager, reviewed homelessness facts and explained domestic violence is one of the leading causes of homelessness. Manylpeople identify homeless as adult males who are alcoholic or drug dependent, but there are many women and families who also are homeless. Renton will participate this year in the One Night Count, which includes,a street count and a survey of homeless shelters and transitional programs. Katie McClincy, Police Commander, sees another side of the homeless population. She recommended any negative encounters should be directed to 911 and let the police manage the problem.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES Tarron Aquino noted she believed the minutes did not reflect some of the discussion at the last meeting. It was explained all conversation and discussion cannot be incorporated into the minutes; the minutes are to primarily record action items, voting, etc. She further commented she felt the letter/ballot mailed out was biased, because it mentioned Heather Downs numerous times throughout the correspondence and the sample ballot selected Heather Downs for its choice. Ron Regis made a motion to approve the minutes as submitted, Ralph Evans seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion carried, minutes approved. AUDIENCE COMMENT Ralph Evans made a motion to excuse the following absent members: Cynthia Burns, Tim Searing and Marge Richter. (Note: Cynthia Burns arrived later, at City of Renton Park Board Minutes December 13,2005 Page 2 of 4 5:10 p.m.) There was a question if a motion and vote was needed. A motion was made and seconded to excuse the absent members, all were in favor, motion carried. CORRESPONDENCE Dennis Culp,Administrator Community Services, reviewed two letters thanking us for the use of our facilities. CONSENT Cast for Kids requested to hold their annual fundraiser on June 3`d and 4th in 2006 at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park and to reserve 100 parking stalls. Staff recommended approval contingent on payment of parking fees and completion of insurance requirements. After lengthy discussion Ralph Evans made a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented, Troy Wigestrand seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion carried. OLD BUSINESS Naming of New Park Dennis Culp reviewed the history of the process we were utilizing to come to a ) consensus on a name to recommend to the Administration and Council for consideration. After a spirited discussion at the November meeting he reviewed the three suggestions for names. The submittals included Barfield, Heather Downs and Heritage Park (or variations of). Staff had suggested to the Arts Commission that 1% for Art dollars could be used to incorporate some artwork into the park that would recognize the cultural aspects of the area, perhaps by trail markers or artwork on the facade of one of the buildings, etc. Additionally, a bench and plaque would be installed at the park in memory of Clyde Barfield by a fir tree Beverly Barfield planted. Following last month's meeting a letter was sent out to 89 residents comprised of those living within 300 feet of the perimeter of the park, and those who attended the public meetings held during the design process. The information returned was divided equally among the three names. Staffs recommendation to the Board was the name Heritage Park, which would recognize all people connected to that area and would more closely coincide with our City policy, to Administration and Council for consideration. Tarron Aquino asked to speak and share information she had researched on the internet. By doing a Google search she turned up several local Barfields that could fit in the category of"contributing" to the community, therefore, being within the guidelines of the policy. There was a Bev Barfield who served on the Renton School Board and another in law enforcement. Al Talley has been acquainted with the family for 50 years, and clarified the various names being discussed, One of the names mentioned was from a different family altogether and not related. There are two Barfields with the first name of Beverly and they were City of Renton l • Park Board Minutes ' December 13,2005 Page 3 of 4 sisters-in-law. The deceased Bev Barfield served on the School Board and died in a car accident in 1999. The other one is Beverly Barfield and is living and the daughter of Clyde Barfield. Dolores Gibbons, Renton School Superintendent, read a letter sent to the Council outlining the many contributions Bev Barfield made to improve the lives of children. She served on the School Board, worked for an adoption agency and Child Protective Services. She encouraged considering honoring Bev for her work on behalf of children by naming this park after her. Tarron submitted a petition with signatures gathered at Renton High School. She stated she felt it was important for teens to be aware of who is recognized and it would be good to honor someone involved in the education of kids. Ron Regis made a motion seconded by Cynthia Burns to recommend naming the park after the Barfields. There was further discussion regarding the policy and perhaps naming the park after an entire family was not appropriate, since they all may not have been positive influences in the community. It was noted that naming the park after Bev Barfield would meet the terms of the City policy, but naming it after the entire family would not. Staff indicated at the time of negotiating the purchase of the land, Beverly Barfield-Lucas received fair market value for the property and no commitment on naming rights of the area had been made. It was agreed a bench would be put in place as a memorial. Michael O'Donin reminded everyone we did not accept naming the Piazza after the Dobson family based on their history and involvement in the community. Instead we named it Piazza, as a gathering place for all to meet, and there is a need to be consistent. Cynthia Burns commented the Dobson's didn't sell us the property, the Barfields did. Dennis reminded everyone this is a 10-acre park and only four acres was purchased from the Barfields. At Talley stated that the Ms. Barfield that served on the School Board was always known as "Bev" Barfield while her sister-in-law was known as Beverly Barfield- Lucas. So the naming of the park should be Bev Barfield Park. Ron Regis made a motion to recommend to Administration and Council the name of Bev Barfield Park. Cynthia lBurns seconded the motion. Three were in favor, one opposed. Motion carried. Leslie Betlach noted the policy dictates that if the selection of a name for a park considers a person's name, there shall be a time lapse of at least six months before the final recommendation on its adoption.

Citizen Comment: Devine- Matthew D. Devine, 527 S. 28th Pl.,Renton, 98055, spoke as president of the Airport-Related Noise Victoria Park Homeowners Association. He noted that his neighborhood is in the noisy flight path of Renton Municipal Airport,which experienced an increase in aircraft traffic and different types of aircraft as a result of runway repairs at Boeing Airport during August. Mr. Devine pointed out that in addition to the aircraft noise, his neighborhood endures noise from SR-167 and illegal street racing in the Valley. Noting that twin engine jets emit a substantial amount of noise, he requested that Renton not make any changes to the airport that alters the mix of aircraft that currently uses the airport.

Recommendation: Approve the expenditure of$10,000 from Fund 125 for the proposed art project. Background: • The City of Renton funds art for its municipal building projects through a 1% for Art Program. • Construction of the new area park will generate$13,400 through 1% for Art. • The Municipal Arts Commission(MAC), which is trusted with assessing public art and making related iecommendations to the Mayor, developed,reviewed, and discussed a number of concepts for public art for the new park. • The MAC focused on projects that would incorporate the City theme that"Renton is a great place to live, vIvork, and play". Reflecting the diversity of the neighborhood was also an important project component for the Commission. • Beside visual appeal,potential art concepts were also evaluated for their scale, durability, safety,maintainability, vandal resistance, and relative ease of installation. • Various placement options and methods of production and installation were considered. • The Municipal Arts Commission is proposing inset etched stainless steel panels around the 72' circumference of a concrete seating wall that surrounds a prime feature of the park, a landscaped berm. Attached exhibits are provided to show the scale and location of the work in the park. The word"Home"will be . replicated in the 48 languages spoken in the Renton School District. More h:\peter renner 2006\newparkartissuepaper.doc Page2of2 - September 11,2006 detailed conceptual representations will be available for review when the project is considered in the Community Services Committee. • The MAC is seeking approval for the project now because funding is needed for the translation service. • The total budget for this project is $10,000 and includes Washington State Sales Tax. The dollars for this project are available in Fund 125. • Presented to Park Board on July 11,2006. Conclusion: The public art that has been developed and proposed by the Municipal Arts Commission will enhance the quality and appearance of the park and serve as an open invitation for all neighborhood and City residents to feel welcome to use and enjoy it. Attachments as stated cc: Jay Covington,Chief Administrative Officer Michael Bailey,Finance Director Michael O'Halloran,RMAC Chairman • h:\peter renner 2006\newparkartissuepaper.doc "Ni o Name" Park • •:. ••:. 1% PUBLIC ART PROPOSAL June 9, 2006 Prepared by Dawn Murin til The Municipal Arts Commission is submitting the following public art proposal for the new park that is being constructed in the Heather Downs neighborhood. Budget: $10,000 Project Objective: To provide a piece of art that is functional and also representative of the diversity of this Renton neighborhood. Project Concept: The City of Renton's theme is: "Renton—a great place to live, work and play. " The Heather Downs community is rich in cultural diversity. The concept for the art piece attempts to incorporate these ideas cohesively by addressing the City's theme that Renton is a great place to live (it is our"Home") and play(the art is in the park), and the art will reflect the diversity of the neighborhood. Within the new park, there will be a large seat wall to provide an additional seating area in the park piazza. The seat wall will encircle a landscaped berm. On hot summer days, this seating area will be especially inviting, as the trees planted within the berm will provide a cooling shade. The"art part" of the seat wall would incorporate a series of stainless steel sheets installed around the seat wall. Each sheet would have the word"Home" etched into its surface, translated into the dozens of languages currently spoken in Renton as per the Renton School District. Project placement: The placement would be in the approximate center of Piazza just off the parking lot between the restrooms and picnic shelter(see last page map). Project specifics: The seat wall will be concrete, circular, 18"tall, and 72 feet in circumference. The seat wall will have an 11"high recess around its entirety for placement of the metal sheets. The recess is for the safety of the people sitting on the wall (so they don't scrape their legs on the edge of the metal), and to reduce the risk of vandalism. Sixteen stainless steel metal sheets will encircle the seat wall within the 11" tall recess, spaced six inches apart, fastened with 1/4"screws. The sheets are to be .063 stainless steel; 10"tall by 48"wide, with a stock color paint fill in the "home" etchings, and finished with a protective coating. For ease of installation, the metal fabricator will roll the sheets slightly to match the radius of the seat wall. Current quotes (tax not included): Metal Sheets: $5,680 Language Translation: $2,700 Why do we propose using a translation service for such a simple word as "home"? In researching this project, thel MAC discovered that some languages have many words for"home", even more than English. There are translation companies that specialize in making sure the word chosen t'o describe "home" will accurately represent the word as intended and not another concept. We do not have this kind of collective language expertise available locally. It was discussed with the Renton School District using students to assistance with translation but in some cases, the grasp of English is not sufficient. Coordination was also problematic. Furthermore, the translation service will also provide the words in a format acceptable for production, that is, with an appropriate font for each language with the necessary accent marks and digital-scanner-ready. This is part of the expense of the project regardless of the production process we use. As with the art project at the Henry Moses Aquatic Center, etched stainless steel is an ideal art medium. It is very attractive, durable, vandal-resistant, and requires little maintenance. The installation method will not be overly complicated. The project will be located in an area in the Park with relatively high visibility and prominence. • • , . ! . i to • - 1_1 . . . . . . • . . . ,. . • • ' I! , .• II.

FYI... bw >>>Alexander Pietsch 05/17/06 5:01 PM >>> Renton, WA-The City of Renton is scheduled to begin constructing the "New" Park located on the northwest corner of NE 3rd Court and Union Avenue NE. On Friday, June 9, 2006, at 11:00 a.m., the City of Renton will host a groundbreaking ceremony to formally begin construction on our newest park addition. The general"public is enthusiastically encouraged to attend this event! History of the "New" Park Development: The"New" Park site is located southeast of the Highlands Neighborhood in the Leisure Estates neighborhood in the City of Renton. As part of the City of Renton's Long Range Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan, development of this site was identified in 1992 as a priority. The final acquisition of the third parcel of land occurred in 2003, which allowed expansion of the park area from 6.7 acres to 9.18 acres. A gently sloping topography and a well-established forest structure offer valuable resources for park development of the site. The site offers both passive and active recreational opportunities as well as neighborhood gathering spaces for group events. The surrounding neighborhood will be well served by a park for all ages. Four public meetings and one on-site open house were held, providing the public with an opportunity to participate in the planning phase of the park, creating both a vision and set of priorities reflected in the final design. The general construction contract was awarded to Ohno Construction Company, Inc.,with an anticipated completion timeframe of late 2006. A site plan of the planned "New" Park is attached. • Alex Pietsch Administrator Dept. of Economic Development, Neighborhoods& Strategic Planning City of Renton 425.430.6592 voice 425.430.7300 fax www.rentonmarket.com www.ci.renton.wa.us • • CONFORMED COPY RETURN 20060505000303Puget Sound Energy, Inc: Attn: ROW Department,WRC PUGET SOUND ENR 32.00 PO BOX 90868, EST-06W PAGE001 OF 001 Bellevue,WA 98009-0868 KINGgCOUNTY, WA9 RELEASE OF EASEMENT REFERENCE#: : 5199748 • .

AUDIENCE COMMENT Sandel DeMastus,Highlands Community Association(HCA)Vice President, Citizen Comment: DeMastus - 1137 Harrington Ave.NE,Renton, 98056, claimed that false information was Highlands Community given by a speaker regarding the association at the last Council meeting. Ms. Association DeMastus named the nine HCA board members, and shared their professional backgrounds. She stated that the HCA is a 501(c)(3)non-profit organization, who, like other neighborhood associations, left Renton's Neighborhood Program due to its rules. Ms. DeMastus emphasized that the HCA has done a lot for the Highlands area, and she is very proud of the association. Citizen Comment: Petersen- Inez Petersen, 3306 Lake Washington Blvd. N., #3, Renton, 98056, stated that Highlands Subarea Plan although she is excited about The Landing project as discussed during Committee of the Whole, the Highlands Community Association(HCA) is concerned about the related traffic issues. Ms. Petersen announced that HCA filed an appeal on the Environmental Review Committee's SEPA determination regarding the Highlands Subarea rezoning proposal. Ms. Petersen recommended that existing single-family dwellings and duplexes in the Highlands not become non-conforming. Property owners unwilling to upgrade the dwellings should be encouraged to sell to someone who will upgrade, and if they do not, she supports the City's enforcement of laws to acquire the property for development. Additionally, she recommended increased police presence, sidewalk repair and installation, and review of low- interest loans and non-profit assistance availability for low-income citizens. Ms. Petersen encouraged the City to consider a compromise between the area's current situation and high density development. Citizen Comment: McOmber- Howard McOmber, 475 Olympia Ave.NE, Renton, 98056, said he favors Highlands Subarea Plan upgrading the Highlands area. He agreed that upgrades to the zoning are also needed; however, the proposed zoning text still needs substantial revision. Emphasizing that the moratorium has stopped residents from upgrading their property, Mr. McOmber pointed out that residents should be allowed the freedom to improve the area. He stated that he wants to continue to improve the Highlands with the City's help, and stressed that time is needed to do it right and to work things out.

Attachments C: Jay Covington q:\datacenter\templates\communityservices\memo_not yet_in_committee.doc MEMORANDUM CITY OF RENTON COMMUNITY SERVICES 0 Committed to Enriching Lives 0 TO: Kathy Keolker, Mayor Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer FROM: Dennis Culp, Community Services Administrator(x6606) SUBJECT: Park Board Recommendation: Naming Renton's New Park DATE: January 3, 2006 PURPOSE: This memo forwards the draft minutes of the Park Board meeting on December 13,2005, where the Park Board members in attendance voted three to one to recommend naming the new park, "Bev Barfield Park". BACKGROUND: • City Facilities Naming Policy Number 600-04, dated March 8, 1999, governs Park naming. This policy states that the Park Board shall, following review and consideration of public and staff input, select a name and then forward the name through the Mayor's office to the Renton City Council for final approval and adoption. • City Policy further states that, in circumstances where a person's name is being considered as the park name, the approval process requires a six-month waiting period before final acceptance. Finally,the policy does not prevent the Mayor from recommending another park name,nor does it limit the City Council from considering other names before a final decision is made. • At the public meetings held during the design process for the new park on Union Avenue, citizens in attendance were asked to identify appropriate names for the park temporarily called Heather Downs. The most requested names were: (1) Barfield Park; (2) Heritage Park; and(3)Heather Downs Park. • Staff brought these three names forward to the Park Board on November 8, 2005, for consideration of a recommendation. After lengthy discussion,without . City of Renton Memorandum-Park Naminb- January 3,2006 Page2of2 consensus,the Park Board felt they wanted additional citizen input before deciding on a recommendation. • An additional mailing was sent to all residents who left addresses at the public meetings as well as all Itesidents living within 300 feet of the park's perimeter. A total of 89 letters were sent. • Forty-two(42)responses were returned with the tally evenly split among the three names. Staff, in considering the citizen input,recommended to the Park Board the name"Heritage Park"in order(1)to honor all groups having historical ties to the neighborhood and(2)to recognize these other groups with suitable features(art, markers, etc.)under the umbrella of the name"Heritage Park"(see attached agenda for the staff rationale). • At the December 13,2005,Park Board meeting, the Superintendent of Schools attended and introduced)another name for the park. Her choice was "Bev Barfield Park",named after a resrpected, elected school-board member who contributed much to the youth of the community and whose family lived for some time in the area of the park. • After some discussion,the Park Board voted three-to-one to recommend the name "Bev Barfield Park"(see attached minutes for the detailed recommendation of the Park Board). • The support for the choice of this park name is contained in the correspondence from the Superintendent of Schools(copy attached). CONCLUSIONS The Park Board has fulfilled its obligations and via Park Board minutes has forwarded its recommended name to the Mayor's office for further consideration. The City Policy provides for a six-month waiting period before final adoption of park name in instances where a person's name is being considered. Therefore by policy the name"Bev Barfield Park"cannot be approved until after mid-June, 2006. The Mayor and Council may consider other names for the park if they so desire. Attachments ••u.

Staffs recommendation to thY Board was to forward the name Heritage Park, which would recognize all people connected to that area and would more closely coincide with our City policy, to Administration and Council for consideration. Tarron Aquino asked to speak and share information she had researched on the Internet. By doing a Google search she turned up several local Barfields that could fit in the category of "contributing"to the community, therefore, being within the guidelines of the policy. There was a Bev Barfield who served on the Renton School Board and another in law enforcement. Al Talley has been acquainted with the family for 50 years, and clarified the various names being discussed, One of the names mentioned was from a different family altogether and not related.

She served on the School Board, worked for an adoption agency and Child Protective Services. She encouraged considering honoring Bev for her work on behalf of children by naming this park after her.

Grady Way Renton,WA 98055 It is my understanding that the name of Bev Barfield is being considered for the new city park being built on Union Ave. in the Highlands neighborhood. I can not think of a _ more fitting memorial to a person who dedicated her life to children. Please give careful consideration to the name of Bev Barfield for our new city park. Bev was an elected member of the Renton School Board. She served from 1993 to her death in a tragic car accident in October, 1999. In addition to her work on the school board, she was the program director for Children and Family Services in South King County. Her career and her volunteer service were centered around children and democratic ideals. Bev earned her degree in sociology from Washington State University. She took her degree and applied it skillfully to her career and her volunteer work. Bev's passion for children and community started long before her election to the school board. She worked for an adoption agency in Okinawa, Japan in the early years of her marriage to John Barfield. Upon returning home, Bev worked for the Washington State Child Protective Services in Kent for a number of years. The Barfield's raised their children, Aaron and Belinda, in Renton. This area was their home and they were proud and contributing citizens. As a school board member, Bev was a very stable, strong member. She had clear opinions that always put children first. She had a particularly big heart for kids that were at-risk in some way. She was a warm, giving, generous person. She had a strong voice in school policies and led district campaigns for the essential and successful levy and bond measures. I believe Renton's children of today would have a special spirit watching over them at the Bev Barfield Memorial Park! Please give careful consideration to honoring Bev for her enormous work on be 1` of children in Renton by naming the park after her.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: A Statement of Qualifications (SOQ)was published in December 2004, and design consultant JA Brennan Associates was selected to develop the master plan and design and construction documents for Heather Downs Park. As part of the master plan process, four public meetings and an on-site open house were conducted to gather community input and feedback regarding park features. In addition,presentations to solicit feedback from the Park Board and Council were completed,with feedback incorporated into the Draft Final Master Plan. The Draft Final Master Plan was approved by the Park Board on September 13, 2005. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of the Heather Downs Park Master Plan as per Park Board recommendation to Council. 2005-155aa y 0 4• ®�� COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT • ��N�o� MEMORANDUM DATE: September 16,2005 TO: Terri Briere, Council President - Members of the Renton City Council VIA: r) Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor FROM: Dennis Culp, Community Services Administrator JJ, STAFF CONTACT: Leslie Betlach, Parks Director SUBJECT: Adoption of Heather Downs Park Master Plan ISSUE: Should Renton City Council adopt the master plan for Heather Downs Park? RECOMMENDATION: Parks staff recommends that City Council adopt the master plan for Heather Downs Park, as per the September 13, 2005 Park Board approval and recommendation. BACKGROUND: The 9.18-acre site of Heather Downs Park is situated on three parcels of land on Union Ave SE,just south of NE 4th Street. The two,outer parcels were acquired in the 1980s, and the final acquisition of the center parcel was completed in 2003. The property is all City-owned, with some portions managed by Planning/Building/Public Works and some managed by the Parks Division. All portions will be incorporated into park use with limitations (no permanent structures) on the Planning/Building/Public Works areas. A Statement of Qualifications was published in December 2004,requesting firms to submit a proposal for design services by January 12,2005. Firms responding were required to have experience in neighborhood park development including site inventory and analysis, community meetings,master planning, design development drawings, construction drawings, and bid documents. After reviewing proposals from thirteen firms and selecting four consulting firms to be interviewed,JA Brennan Associates was selected in February 2005, and the contract was awarded in March 2005. Community input is vital to successful park development;therefore, four public meetings and an open house, as well as two presentations to Park Board and the City Council were scheduled. The first meeting,held on June 1, 2005,at Highlands Neighborhood Center, attracted over 60 citizens. Attendees were encouraged to complete a survey, indicating prioritized park program features; e.g., basketball court, climbing rocks,play equipment, walking trails, etc. There was also a presentation by JA Brennan Associates, showing 2005-153aa Ten-i Briere,Council Pre:, t Page 2 of 2 September 16,2005 draft concepts of the park layout, in addition to audience participation regarding park features the neighborhood would like incorporated into the master plan. The second public meeting was held on June 28, 2005 at Highlands Neighborhood Center. JA Brennan Associates compiled all the data from the surveys and audience input, and presented two draft park concepts. Audience participation was encouraged with the attendees commenting on the concepts. An on-site open house was conducted on June 30t , so people could j`walk the park,"discuss the concepts, ask questions, and express concerns to Parks Division staff and JA Brennan Associates who were in attendance. A Preferred Alternative was identified. Minor revisions, including a path alignment similar to the concept that was not selected, were incorporated into the Draft Final Master Plan, and presented at the third public meeting July 26th . The last public meeting was held August 16, 2005, where JA Brennan Associates presented the Draft Final Master Plan to the community. The attendees fully supported the Draft Final Master Plan including Park Board and Council recommendations, with one revision regarding trail lighting as noted below. A briefing was made to Park Board on June 14, 2005, and to City Council on July 11, 2005. The recommendation for a basketball court was incorporated into the Draft Final Master Plan. The recommendation to include trail lighting was not embraced by the Community and an informal survey of neighboring cities confirmed that trail lighting is not typically incorporated into;neighborhood parks. However,the park will be designed and constructed to accommodate for future installation of trail lighting and cameras. The Draft Final Master Plan was presented to the Park Board at their regular meeting on September 13,2005. The Park Board approved the Master Plan and further recommended that the plan bei presented to Council for adoption. 2005-153aa 1 Heather Downs Park Development Master Plan • L._ti � �� ,� -:11-_J T�______,______. � l=_=-_- - MASTER PLAN ' --I �'"�' - - '---777 `';tA[Li:- I i rL, I __ I; - '.0 LEGEND -_ I) --� •'� � � L,, .}h.J y ff"'—r, A.PICNIC PLAZA \ _t..—_..- _ -�w t-- 1 `I _ _-.�____�� B.PICNIC SHELTER .- �"'�-=•� _�,NE 3R4 COU= �f�- , c� C.RESTROOM ~ -- .`___ "='-�. �i.• D.PLAYGROUND(2-O) 2•"•:�\in:"..�-..y �� -a w� I — E.PLAYGROUND(5-12) - .. ~ "�- �•^' �� '7,( T� I F.ROCK CIIMBD7G PLAY AREA �..".;,T,"• L,.:`„a�►. = `A� �. ., �nI ,r— G.PARKING AREA I ' 3 ►V H.BASKETBALL HALF COURT " 1 J ---,0,:-41.

I have coached Little League here in Renton for 5 seasons. There is not a park within 2 miles from our neighborhood that could be used for a father and son to play catch, a family to ride bikes to safely or even a neighborhood picnic. One of the things that we have sorely missed is the neighborhood park system that Bellevue has become known for. It was for this reason that we were so pleased to hear that Heather Downs was selected to receive a neighborhood park that would not require a car ride or crossing major thoroughfares on bicycles to reach from our neighborhood. Those of us parents in the neighborhood have waited in anticipation for over 18 months since the site was cleared of the derelict housing for construction to begin on the new park. Please consider this when you discuss the options at hand at tonight's city council meeting. Thank you for your time.

I have heard about the city's intention to build a park in our neighborhood and became quite excited when I found out it was coming sooner than later. It would be so nice to be able to walk to a park, rather than having to get in the car to drive to one. I now understand there is a proposal to delay the building of the park for various reasons. I wish to express my disappointment, for the money has been ear-marked and the wait has been long. Renton rightly prides itself on the quantity and quality of recreation opportunities for its citizens. Please let this be another example of that pride by reconsidering this proposal.

This would be a grave error. This park has been "in development"for over 20 years. When we moved into our home in 1980 and started our family, we spoke with Director John Webley regarding the timeline for park's development. We were hoping our young children would have the opportunity to utilize this. much needed play area. Unfortunately, they never had the chance to enjoy such an area, and are now adults. Since we moved to the Heather Downs area, there has been a tremendous amount of housing growth. The nearest park is Kiwanis, which is over 1-1/2 miles away and across 2 of the busiest streets on the east hill, Union and NE 4th Street. The amount of young children in our area is phenomenal. When we watch the school bus load on the same corner where the park would be developed, there are at least 35 elementary age children. THIS IS ONLY ONE BUS! This does not take into account the numerous other stops in our dead end;area. This park would become one of the most highly used in the Renton system,just by virtue of the • location. We need this park! I The ultimate reason for the development of this park is the safety of our children. There is no access to anlacceptable play area for the population of the Heather Downs area. Many of the streets in the area do not have sidewalks. Four of the major streets in the area carry Metro bus service several times every day. Children who live in apartments and very small home often,play in the street. The undeveloped park does not provide a positive experience for growing families. We have be waiting a generation for this park. If you divert the dollars to another project(i.e. a park maintenance building), it is unlikely that we will ever have the opportunity to see • this park built. Don't take away this opportunity to serve the youth • of our city. They need a positive place to grow and play. Our children cannot wait any longer for a park. Don't delay the development of Heather Downs Park, even for one more year.

We strongly oppose this. With the growth of the neighborhood, we feel that it is important to have a place for our children to play and for,everyone to enjoy the outdoors. We have a 3 and a half year old son who would benefit greatly from a park close to our house. As parents, we feel that having a safe place for children is vital. Much our neighborhood does not have sidewalks and children often play in the street. A nearby park would reduce this problem. The rapid growth in the Highlands neighborhood would support a park. The existing parks are already highly used and we believe that Heather Downs Park would help to reduce overcrowding. After careful consideration, the city has already approved the funds and removing them is inappropriate. Furthermore, it does not speak well of the Council to suddenly attempt to reverse the existing decision without sufficient thought and notice. In conclusion, please do not allow the park that we were looking forward to using be taken away.
