SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Request concurrence with Park Commissioners' recommendation to expand membership
from five (5) to seven (7) committee members. The Park Board was formed in the 1950s, an
ordinance was passed in 1974 defining the membership numbers. Our programs have greatly
expanded over the last 20 years
The Board is a powerful means of securing and building support for future programs and
services while serving as a liaison with other public, private and volunteer groups. When
limited to 5 members we are unable to divide into subcommittees to cover the many new
projects currently in progress.

SUBJECT: Park Board Meeting
At their May 10th meeting the Renton Park Board recommended an expansion of
the number af Park Board Commissioners from 5 members ta 7. They feel this
additian would pravide better representation of the city as it continues to graw
and would assist in maintaining a quorum at our Park Board meetings. We have
had periodic difficulty in having a quorum present to conduct business due ta
illness or personal commitments. In addition, there have been times when
additional input would have been he(pful in dealing with a subjec#.
We have forwarded an agenda bill to the clerk's affice and �arry Warren has
amended the original ordinance to reflect this suggested change. ffy�ave
