urban forest and the number of cities that currently participate in this program in our
state. He additionally discussed formation of a Citizen Tree Board (a volunteer group
of citizens that have an interest in promoting urban forestry in the community). He
further explained the next steps in preparing a draft of the Development Plan for the
Park Board's review and adoption of the Plan by City Council.
Kelly Beymer, Golf Course Manager, gave a Concessionaire Comparison for 2008 to
update the Board on reports and revenue for our new concessionaire at RiverRock.
Several golf course restaurants have suffered this last year, the one at Foster has
closed. Auburn is struggling and is only open for breakfast six months out of the year.
The Riverbend restaurant in Kent does not have a banquet facility and their revenue
reports are down significantly from years past. The RiverRock food and service
reports are good. There is a 10% decrease in revenue from last year, but that is
attributed to the current economy. The restaurant is currently running several
promotions and expects to rebound from numerous weather cancellations they
experienced during the snowy weather.
Bonnie Rerecich, Resource and Funding Manager, presented the 2008 Volunteer
Wrap-up. She noted the Community Services Department received over 26,767 hours
of volunteer service throughout our community in every division. Volunteers
participated in numerous events throughout the year, as well as participating and
providing service at youth activities, the Renton Senior Activity Center, and specialized
recreation. Bonnie showed everyone the Graffiti Removal Kit and outlined the steps
being taken in graffiti removal program.
VII. ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
Off-Leash Doa Park
Terry Higashiyama noted $50,000 was approved in the CIP budget for an off-leash
dog park. Staff will be meeting with volunteers to secure additional funding. Todd
Black will be working on the design phase.
2009 Budaet Update
Staff is looking at further reductions for 2009. We will be conservative the first quarter
of the year then revisit`where' we are. It could be a tough year and we will have to be
creative.
VIII. OLD BUSINESS
Park Board Retreat
Retreat notes from the November retreat were mailed with the packets. Tim and Terry
will refine and bring to a future meeting with an indication of how to proceed from here.
Ron Reqis Park uadate
Leslie Betlach, Parks Director, gave the Board an update on the scaled back projects
planned for Regis Park. Design is currently on hold for park improvements. It is
unlikely that City funding will be budgeted in 2009 for the proposed 4.5 million dollar
project. Staff will evaluate the feasibility of constructing a scaled-down project

utilizing funding from Parks Mitigation Fees and the Custer Fund.
IX. OTHER COMMUNtCATION

Subject: Kudos to City of Renton
Mayor Law and City Manager Covington-
I'd like to take a quick moment to say "great job!" with the recent winter snow storm response by City
of Renton Public Works and to let you know how much my family appreciates Renton Parks.
I live on a very residential street- Anacortes Ave NE, and was absolutely impressed by the Public
Works crews who plowed my street on at least 3 separate occasions and sanded on 2 occasions. In
addition, the Vac truck recently came through and serviced the many catch basins to prevent the potentiat
of urban flooding. While you may have been prompted by concerned neighbors or responding to a specific
service request, I applaud the hard work by Public Works staff given the enormity of the multi-phase
storm, the high expectation levels of some Renton residents, and the limited equipment and resources to
effectively add�ess all of the needs. You far exceeded my expectation levels given all of the challenges.
I'm impressed!
My family continues to enjoy and actively use our neighborhood parks- whether sledding down a snow
covered hill at Kiwanis Park, playing soccer at Heritage or Kennydale Lion's Parks, playing t-ball at
Maplewood Park or enjoying the Cedar River Trail. During these tough and likely tougher economic times,
I value and appreciate our parks and recreation system and urge your continued support of what is critical
in making Renton such a livable and enjoyable place to live.
In the mountains of critical communications you might likely receive from residents (particularly with
the adverse weather we have and are experiencing), I hope that this might help balance "the public's
point of view" of their local government. Keep up the great work and I thank Mr. Zimmerman and Ms.
Higashiyama for their leadership!
Pete
