Legislation Title:   AN ORDINANCE relating to the 2008 Parks and Green Spaces Levy; authorizing the acquisition of property; amending the 2009 Adopted Budget and 2009-2014 Capital Improvement Program; establishing 2008 Parks Levy programs and projects; creating new budget control levels; and increasing appropriations in connection thereto; all by a three-fourths vote of the City Council.

Summary and background of the Legislation:

On November 4, 2008 Seattle voters approved a six-year property tax levy, the 2008 Parks and Green Spaces Levy (Levy), for the purpose of improving and expanding the City’s parks and green spaces.  This legislation begins Levy implementation by amending the 2009 Adopted Budget and 2009-2014 Capital Improvement Program, increasing the 2009 budget of the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT), making appropriations, establishing Levy projects and programs to be started in 2009, creating new budget control levels, authorizing property acquisition, authorizing the Superintendent to proceed with the projects, and appropriating Levy funds.

In 2009, the City will receive about $24 million in additional property tax revenues from the Levy.  This legislation appropriates $24.2 million in Levy proceeds for 26 early start projects and three early start programs identified in Attachment A to this Fiscal Note. These projects, which include nine playground renovations, four ballfield renovations and development of a park on property acquired in the last Parks levy, were selected for inclusion in this legislation because they can move most quickly through the design phase into construction, which will create jobs on the street this summer and in 2010. Other projects on this list include projects that have already been started with other fund sources, but which did not have full funding to complete all phases of the project, such as development of the Jefferson Park reservoir lid and completion of the sidewalk project on Queen Anne Boulevard. DPR and SDOT anticipate spending $19.2 million of Levy proceeds in 2009.  Remaining appropriation authority will carry over into 2010 to be spent next year.

This legislation is for 2009 appropriations only.   Future appropriations will be made with subsequent budget legislation.

Sources (itemize)	N/C

Notes:  Implementation of these Levy projects will lead to increased operating costs for DPR.  The Levy does not include funding for ongoing costs, so other city resources will be needed.  Costs have not been calculated yet; this will be done in conjunction with the annual budgets.  SDOT operating costs for the Burke Gilman Trail extension is expected to be $20,000 per year starting in 2011.

Periodic Major Maintenance costs for the project: N/C

TOTAL	N/C

Funding sources for replacement of project:  The Levy does not provide a revenue source for ongoing major maintenance.  However, many of the Levy projects will ‘renew’ parks facilities that would otherwise need major maintenance investments.

Total Regular Positions Created, Modified, Or Abrogated Through This Legislation, Including FTE Impact:  None.  Existing staff who had been working on the 2000 Pro Parks Levy will transition to these projects.

Position Title and Department*	Position # for Existing Positions	Fund Name & #	PT/FT	2009 Positions	2009 FTE	2010 Positions**	2010 FTE **
TOTAL	N/A

Notes:  Positions may be requested with future legislation or in the annual budget process.

· Do positions sunset in the future?  N/A

· What is the financial cost of not implementing the legislation: Not implementing this legislation would delay implementation of the 2008 Parks Levy approved by voters.  It would also reduce the stimulus impact in the current economic situation.

· What are the possible alternatives to the legislation that could achieve the same or similar objectives?  None. The 2008 Parks Levy identifies specific projects to be implemented and appropriation from Council is required in order to begin the work.

· Is the legislation subject to public hearing requirements: No
