BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEATTLE, THE MAYOR CONCURRING:

Section 1. Management Plan. If the levy lid lift proposed in Council Bill 113228 is approved by the voters, the Department of Parks and Recreation shall develop a Management Plan that (1) identifies the key positions that will be involved in managing the programs and projects funded under the levy lid lift, and (2) describes their specific role in levy implementation. This Plan will also include a description of how staffing levels are expected to change over a ten-year period. It is the Council's intent that positions funded through levy proceeds will sunset at the end of the levy term unless otherwise authorized by ordinance. A written report describing this Plan will be presented to Council no later than June 1, 2001. The Department will make annual Plan updates to the Mayor and City Council.

In addition, the Mayor is directed to work with the Seattle Park Foundation in seeking private and public resources for enhancing projects and programs funded through the levy. The Plan should also include a description of how levy funds will be leveraged by these private and public resources.

Section 2. Acquisition and Development Opportunity Fund Category. The criteria for project selection for the Acquisition and Development Opportunity Fund category established by Council Bill 113228 used by the Superintendent and the Parks and Green Spaces Levy Oversight Committee shall give high priority to projects in underserved areas of the City as defined in the Seattle Parks and Recreation Plan 2000, and next priority to projects in areas of the City experiencing population growth, particularly those with expected and actual growth in urban center and urban village locations, and to projects in Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas. Other criteria to be considered include, but are not limited to, having been identified as a key strategy or high priority in a neighborhood plan or in a City plan or being consistent with a neighborhood plan; and having identified funding partners for capital development. In addition on-going operations and maintenance costs and/or service levels will be considered in evaluating proposed projects.

Section 3. Attachment A to this resolution describes each of the categories and subcategories of projects and programs to be funded if the proposed neighborhood parks, green spaces, trails, and zoo levy lid lift is approved. The Superintendent and the Oversight Committee will use these descriptions in developing their reports and making recommendations on projects and programs to be funded.

Section 4. Attachment B to this resolution is a preliminary financial plan describing the expected use of levy lid lift proceeds and anticipated interest earnings. The Superintendent will submit an update to this plan each year as part of the annual budget process, as is required by Council Bill 113228.

Section 5. Attachment C to this resolution is a brief description of each of the projects and programs expected to be funded by the proposed levy lid lift. The costs shown in Attachment C may be adjusted in some cases for inflation and may be subject to future adjustments as described in Council Bill 113228.

ATTACHMENT A CATEGORY/SUBCATEGORY DESCRIPTIONS

ACQUISITION CATEGORY

The Acquisition category includes acquisition of two types of properties: specific properties for use as neighborhood parks and specific properties for use as green spaces.

Acquisition Subcategories

Neighborhood Park Acquisition: This subcategory includes the acquisition of properties specifically identified in Neighborhood Plans and other planning efforts. Such properties would generally be developed into new neighborhood and community parks as part of the Development category, described below. Acquisitions include a number of City Light surplussed Substations.

Green Spaces: This subcategory includes acquisition of properties necessary to fill gaps in the existing public ownership and preserve continuity within the City's designated Greenspaces (greenbelts and natural areas). Acquisitions will target critical properties in St. Marks, Longfellow Creek, Thornton Creek, Leschi, Me-Kwa-Mooks, Duwamish Head, West Duwamish, East Duwamish and other designated areas. It is anticipated that most of the acquisitions in this category would be eligible for matching grants from state and county sources thereby significantly increasing the amount to be spent on Green Spaces.

DEVELOPMENT CATEGORY

The Development category includes four subcategories: development of specific neighborhood parks acquired through the Acquisition category and certain other existing Parks properties, development of Major Neighborhood Parks, restoration and renovation of existing playfields and facilities, and development of trails and Parks properties adjoining historic boulevards.

Development Subcategories

Neighborhood Park Development: This subcategory includes development of specific projects identified in Neighborhood Plans and other planning efforts including some of the City's current park master plans. It includes development of most neighborhood park sites expected to be acquired through the Neighborhood Park Acquisition subcategory.

Major Neighborhood Park Development Projects: This subcategory includes an allocation to develop phases of projects at major park sites or park facilities, to leverage other funding and includes possible acquisition of the Beacon North Reservoir site.

Playfields and Facilities: This subcategory includes restoration and renovation of existing sportfields and facilities at sites throughout Seattle consistent with the Seattle School District and Department of Parks and Recreation Joint Athletic Facilities Development Plan, as it may be amended from time to time. Fields to be improved are part of a citywide system serving all of Seattle. A significant athletic field project will be undertaken at Sand Point.

Trails and Boulevards: This subcategory includes an allocation to improve parklands on historic boulevards, develop key trail links in Seattle's urban trails system, and improve Lake Washington Boulevard.

ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY FUND CATEGORY

The Acquisition and Development Opportunity Fund category provides funding to acquisition and development projects identified by neighborhood and community groups.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, MAINTENANCE, AND PROGRAMMING CATEGORY

The Environmental Stewardship, Maintenance and Programming category includes five subcategories: maintenance of new parks and green spaces acquired and developed through the Acquisition, Development, and Acquisition and Development Opportunity Fund categories, environmental stewardship of existing properties, enhanced maintenance of existing properties, increased recreational programming for youth and seniors, and increased operational support for the Woodland Park Zoo.

Environmental Stewardship, Maintenance and Programming Subcategories

New Park/Green Space Maintenance: This subcategory includes maintenance of properties acquired and/or developed through the Acquisition and the Development categories. It could also include maintenance of properties acquired and/or developed through the Acquisition and Development Opportunity Fund category. As new park properties are acquired and/or as development and improvement projects are completed, this subcategory includes increased maintenance and operations funding thus addressing some of the potential negative impacts on the City's budget for parks and recreation purposes.

Environmental Stewardship: This subcategory includes improvements to the existing park system and green spaces, including enhancements to the urban forest and green spaces, and more educational programming and volunteer opportunities.

Enhanced Park and Facility Maintenance: This subcategory includes enhanced service for parks and comfort stations during peak use periods, and additional community center custodial and pool operator capacity to handle increased use and hours of operation. The annual allocations in this subcategory are phased based on the assumption that over the eight years of the levy, the general fund will assume increasingly greater levels of support for the park cleaning, peak use maintenance, and recreational facility cleaning.

Recreational Programming: This subcategory includes increases in recreation programming, especially after school and summer youth programs and senior programs. The subcategory includes providing each community recreation center with a staff person devoted to teen (middle school and high school age) programming and each sector of the City will be provided with a staff person devoted to programming for senior adults. During the life of the levy, it also includes giving every third and fourth grader in Seattle public schools the opportunity to learn how to swim.

Zoo Programming: This subcategory allocates funds to improve environmental education, animal care, research, and conservation at the Woodland Park Zoo.
