2:38 ↗ from public for comments

2:41 ↗ i do not and we did not get any emails

2:43 ↗ either okay

2:47 ↗ so i guess public comments are open and

2:49 ↗ closed

2:53 ↗ and that leads us into regular business

2:56 ↗ we're going to have

2:57 ↗ uh four items tonight for regular

2:59 ↗ business a central park pad

3:02 ↗ three we're going to be having a

3:03 ↗ discussion about turf replacement

3:06 ↗ uh we have uh some information about

3:09 ↗ the 2021 work plan that jeff's going to

3:12 ↗ clarify some things we have some

3:15 ↗ information about the recovery task

3:17 ↗ force

3:18 ↗ and the 2020 community awards is going

3:21 ↗ to be something up for us to make a

3:23 ↗ action item uh

3:27 ↗ so given that i guess we'll get started

3:29 ↗ with uh

3:30 ↗ central park chad three i don't know if

3:33 ↗ jeff

3:33 ↗ or jennifer probably a tag team match on

3:36 ↗ this one

3:38 ↗ a bit of a tag team i'll uh i'll kick it

3:40 ↗ off and then turn it over to jennifer

3:42 ↗ for the presentation and

3:43 ↗ dave andrews as well thanks a lot brad

3:47 ↗ good evening everyone happy new year

3:49 ↗ i'm excited to present this update to

3:53 ↗ you

3:53 ↗ as you likely recall late last year as

3:56 ↗ we were going through the budget process

3:58 ↗ and also identifying our initial work

4:00 ↗ plan uh the replacement of

4:03 ↗ um the turf fields at central park pad

4:05 ↗ three um were

4:07 ↗ on our uh approved budget list and

4:10 ↗ therefore on our our work plan to get

4:11 ↗ done this year

4:13 ↗ tonight really is a chance to update you

4:15 ↗ on the work we've done to get that

4:17 ↗ project ready

4:18 ↗ um and and out to bid early so that we

4:20 ↗ can

4:21 ↗ have flexibility in not only awarding

4:25 ↗ that but

4:26 ↗ getting it scheduled um we also

4:29 ↗ um for some from some prior conversation

4:32 ↗ we have with you really want to have a

4:34 ↗ conversation a little more focused

4:35 ↗ conversation with that project

4:37 ↗ about a a policy decision and and i have

4:40 ↗ a discussion around

4:42 ↗ um the choice of of infill um

4:46 ↗ that we would like to utilize within

4:47 ↗ that that project if you recall with

4:49 ↗ synthetic turf

4:51 ↗ synthetic turf systems consist of the

4:54 ↗ fiber

4:54 ↗ the grass itself but then the infill

4:59 ↗ often sand crumb rubber mix is what

5:02 ↗ historically has done

5:04 ↗ we think there's a real opportunity with

5:05 ↗ the timing of this project

5:07 ↗ industry advancements have come a long

5:09 ↗ ways even the last three years

5:11 ↗ from when we had this discussion with

5:13 ↗ pad one

5:16 ↗ and uh just the the budget that was

5:18 ↗ awarded with this project i think gives

5:20 ↗ us some real opportunities to consider

5:22 ↗ some alternatives

5:23 ↗ and and is this the time that we want to

5:25 ↗ consider a more

5:27 ↗ organic infill type

5:30 ↗ uh for these two fields so we really

5:34 ↗ um in the presentation that jennifer

5:36 ↗ jennifer's going to give

5:38 ↗ dave andrews who's our consultant

5:39 ↗ landscape architect and and turf guru is

5:42 ↗ here too

5:43 ↗ uh to facilitate um answer any questions

5:45 ↗ you have and just have a discussion

5:47 ↗ tonight and see if there's a

5:48 ↗ perspective you all have as we

5:52 ↗ move forward with this project i know

5:54 ↗ the mayor will be very interested

5:56 ↗ to hear um your opinions and and where

6:00 ↗ you might want to go

6:02 ↗ in terms of type of infill we may want

6:04 ↗ to consider so with that

6:06 ↗ uh jen fink project manager take it away

6:13 ↗ first thing is unmute and now let me

6:15 ↗ share my screen

6:16 ↗ bear with me

6:32 ↗ um

6:49 ↗ sorry bear with me a second here

7:00 ↗ is pulling the wrong screen hold on

7:18 ↗ there we go hold on one second here

7:22 ↗ there we go how's that

7:26 ↗ looks great so

7:29 ↗ um hi everyone nice to be giving you

7:33 ↗ an update on the central park pad 3

7:36 ↗ project um tonight we have with us

7:39 ↗ dave andrews who is our consultant with

7:42 ↗ cph consultants and he also helped us

7:46 ↗ with our

7:46 ↗ um pad one and also central park pad

7:50 ↗ three

7:51 ↗ way back when back in 2008 when it was

7:54 ↗ first installed so dave has a lot of

7:55 ↗ history

7:56 ↗ um with central park and we look forward

7:59 ↗ to his contribution to the conversations

8:01 ↗ tonight

8:02 ↗ as well as artificial turf fields

8:06 ↗ um we're going to provide a brief

8:09 ↗ presentation on the central park pad 3

8:12 ↗ background kind of the previous project

8:14 ↗ that

8:15 ↗ we're going to be replacing the turf on

8:18 ↗ we'll also talk about the framework

8:20 ↗ of the church replacement project for

8:23 ↗ this year

8:25 ↗ um also we'll be talking about the

8:27 ↗ different types of

8:28 ↗ infill and then we're going to pose the

8:30 ↗ question and open it

8:32 ↗ up for discussion is there a preference

8:34 ↗ that you the park board would like to

8:36 ↗ use for infill at central park pad 3.

8:42 ↗ central park pad 3 some of the

8:43 ↗ backgrounds the the fields that are

8:45 ↗ there now

8:46 ↗ were constructed in 2008 and they were

8:49 ↗ funded with the 2006

8:51 ↗ park bond the carpet and

8:54 ↗ infill that is used there is pure sbr

8:58 ↗ rubber

8:59 ↗ uh there is no sand in those in on those

9:02 ↗ fields

9:03 ↗ as infill and artificial turf

9:06 ↗ systems um their life cycle is pretty

9:09 ↗ short

9:10 ↗ it's a 8 to 15 year period depending

9:13 ↗ upon use and where

9:14 ↗ and right now we're in that you know 12

9:17 ↗ 13 year

9:18 ↗ mark or replacement

9:22 ↗ uh here are the aerial view of the

9:25 ↗ fields

9:25 ↗ and you can see some of the wear that is

9:27 ↗ occurring up there they get a heavy

9:30 ↗ use um the turf itself

9:33 ↗ is at the end of its useful life it's

9:35 ↗ starting to

9:37 ↗ not respond like it should and we also

9:40 ↗ have the turf replacement fund with

9:43 ↗ with the creation of central park pad

9:45 ↗ one

9:46 ↗ artificial turf field with the rental of

9:49 ↗ those fields we take

9:51 ↗ a portion of the fund the money's

9:53 ↗ received

9:54 ↗ to pay for maintenance and operations

9:56 ↗ but also to go into the turf replacement

9:58 ↗ fund

9:59 ↗ as part of our annual maintenance

10:01 ↗ project knowing that with these

10:02 ↗ artificial turf field investments there

10:05 ↗ is a life cycle

10:06 ↗ cost and so we do have some funding

10:08 ↗ available

10:09 ↗ to use for this project

10:13 ↗ here's another view you can see that

10:16 ↗ these fields are typically

10:18 ↗ used for your rectangular sports which

10:22 ↗ are soccer lacrosse and football

10:24 ↗ and you can see some of the wear

10:26 ↗ patterns that are starting to

10:28 ↗ happen in the fields from heavy use

10:33 ↗ some of the framework for this turf

10:35 ↗ replacement project

10:36 ↗ was really we want to maintain the same

10:38 ↗ uses that we're getting which is soccer

10:40 ↗ lacrosse and football

10:42 ↗ we have to replace both the carpet

10:46 ↗ and the infill system which is much like

10:50 ↗ replacing the carpet in your home

10:53 ↗ the drainage which is part of the

10:55 ↗ substructure of the artificial turf

10:57 ↗ fields

10:58 ↗ that is going to remain as is um

11:01 ↗ we hope to not have to touch that and

11:03 ↗ other than maybe fill in some low spots

11:05 ↗ or some settling

11:06 ↗ but that is pretty much remaining as is

11:10 ↗ um but as part of this project we also

11:13 ↗ wanted to avoid

11:15 ↗ certain types of infill that may require

11:18 ↗ watering as additional forms of

11:21 ↗ maintenance

11:24 ↗ we'll get into it in the next screen but

11:26 ↗ there are also as part of the

11:28 ↗ carpet and infill systems there's

11:32 ↗ oftentimes

11:32 ↗ a pad that gets added to much like a pad

11:36 ↗ on your carpet at home

11:39 ↗ part of the scope of the project is also

11:42 ↗ to replace

11:43 ↗ the damaged fence sections if you've

11:45 ↗ been up there

11:47 ↗ from soccer and lacrosse balls

11:49 ↗ specifically

11:50 ↗ when they miss the net they hit the

11:52 ↗ fence and

11:54 ↗ do some damage and there's quite a bit

11:55 ↗ of bowing so in just some certain areas

11:58 ↗ we'll be replacing

11:59 ↗ um four foot sections of fence it is not

12:02 ↗ a

12:02 ↗ it's a nominal cost to the project uh

12:05 ↗ but fortunately

12:07 ↗ uh we are going to be able to do the

12:10 ↗ full project

12:11 ↗ carpet replacement infill options

12:14 ↗ available and potentially add a carpet

12:17 ↗ and still stay within

12:18 ↗ or a pad and still stay within our

12:21 ↗ available budget of 1.6 million provided

12:24 ↗ for this project

12:27 ↗ here's kind of where we're at with the

12:30 ↗ line configurations

12:33 ↗ going more towards a universal striping

12:36 ↗ system for men's and women's lacrosse

12:39 ↗ and also it's very hard to see but there

12:42 ↗ are going to be tick lines out here for

12:44 ↗ football which

12:46 ↗ had not previously been on the field

12:49 ↗ but still have the soccer and lacrosse

12:52 ↗ lines much like they do right now

12:59 ↗ so as we explored infill options for the

13:02 ↗ artificial tour

13:04 ↗ we looked at um the sbr rubber

13:08 ↗ with sand and pea gravel infill this is

13:11 ↗ the same type of infill that we have

13:13 ↗ existing up at central park pad one

13:16 ↗ um it's an economical

13:21 ↗ and very commonly used product

13:24 ↗ but one of the other options we explored

13:26 ↗ was looking at going to a more organic

13:29 ↗ infill which

13:32 ↗ in doing so it does require a pad to be

13:36 ↗ laid down

13:37 ↗ underneath the carpet before it goes

13:39 ↗ down and it helps with fall

13:42 ↗ attenuation and those pads typically

13:46 ↗ though it's an

13:46 ↗ initial investment at this time they do

13:49 ↗ have a 20 to 30 year life span so they

13:52 ↗ could last

13:54 ↗ another one two and maybe even a third

13:57 ↗ replacement cycle depending upon

14:01 ↗ the product used but we've also explored

14:05 ↗ a hybrid which is an organic port

14:08 ↗ with rubber the percent of rubber used

14:11 ↗ is much less than

14:15 ↗ what would be on a full rubber field or

14:17 ↗ a sand rubber

14:18 ↗ mixed field but there is a little bit of

14:22 ↗ rubber in there like i said all of the

14:26 ↗ options we explored

14:28 ↗ fit within our available budget and

14:31 ↗ i did send out um as a pre-meeting

14:35 ↗ informational item some definitions

14:38 ↗ about

14:38 ↗ the different types of rubber

14:42 ↗ the rubber infill what cork infill how

14:45 ↗ silica sand is used as part of these

14:47 ↗ infill systems

14:49 ↗ um and i'm sorry they didn't get it

14:53 ↗ attached as part of the meeting packet

14:55 ↗ but we will attach them as part of the

14:56 ↗ meeting minutes as well

14:58 ↗ but if you have any questions about that

15:02 ↗ we've got dave here that can also help

15:04 ↗ answer some questions

15:06 ↗ um so with that i would like to just

15:09 ↗ open it up to jeff

15:12 ↗ or if he has any additional comments or

15:16 ↗ dave

15:16 ↗ and the park board

15:22 ↗ jen thank you for that that overview

15:24 ↗ it's jeff again just

15:25 ↗ i think real quick and then turn it over

15:27 ↗ to you brad for discussion

15:29 ↗ um jen mentioned the turf replacement

15:32 ↗ fund uh we just wanted to note that

15:34 ↗ in the presentation as you recall um as

15:38 ↗ that is a new funding source that was

15:39 ↗ adopted in 2018

15:42 ↗ that's not fully funding this project

15:44 ↗ and wasn't

15:45 ↗ intended to but um it is certainly

15:48 ↗ funding a portion of the project

15:50 ↗ the intention is as that turf

15:51 ↗ replacement fund builds up over multiple

15:53 ↗ years by the time we're replacing

15:56 ↗ the turf at pad one that was done in

15:59 ↗ 2018 we'll be

16:01 ↗ much closer to if not fully funding

16:05 ↗ the turf replacement projects um

16:08 ↗ jennifer's mentioned reference of

16:10 ↗ football tick lines what those will be

16:12 ↗ is 10 a 10 yard increments along the

16:15 ↗ sidelines there will be

16:17 ↗ different coloration that will allow as

16:20 ↗ we know there's a lot of football

16:22 ↗ practices that are up there but would

16:24 ↗ allow

16:25 ↗ sort of an easy placement of cones or

16:27 ↗ other markers

16:29 ↗ to assist with uh with those practices

16:32 ↗ and those

16:33 ↗ uses one thing i was going to mention in

16:36 ↗ terms of as we're exploring these

16:37 ↗ options

16:38 ↗ um sbr um i'm gonna have to phone a

16:42 ↗ friend i don't know what that acronym is

16:44 ↗ but

16:45 ↗ basically it's reference to the

16:46 ↗ traditional crumb rubber

16:48 ↗ crush tire product dave can probably

16:51 ↗ give specifics of that

16:53 ↗ um there's a fourth type of

16:56 ↗ um infill that we um

16:59 ↗ that's out there that we're not

17:01 ↗ considering um

17:02 ↗ really because of i think more than

17:04 ↗ anything budget what we're presenting

17:06 ↗ with these three general options

17:07 ↗ is as we look at at prices

17:11 ↗ we'd be purchasing this turf through

17:14 ↗ kcda which is a co-op we belong to it's

17:17 ↗ how we purchase

17:18 ↗ pad one fields we feel confident that we

17:21 ↗ have budget

17:22 ↗ with any of those three options we

17:24 ↗ presented

17:25 ↗ there's a there's a the industry's

17:27 ↗ starting to look at thermoplastics

17:29 ↗ and i'm not going to act like i'm a

17:30 ↗ scientist that i know what

17:32 ↗ thermoplastics are but imagine

17:34 ↗ the infill being plastic instead of

17:36 ↗ rubber

17:38 ↗ it's still quite costly and would

17:40 ↗ probably be more than what we have

17:41 ↗ budget for

17:43 ↗ and as we look at organic options we

17:45 ↗ wanted to present

17:46 ↗ and explore options and again feel like

17:48 ↗ the industry is getting more

17:50 ↗ advanced enough to consider pure organic

17:54 ↗ versus

17:55 ↗ just replacing rubber with plastic as as

17:58 ↗ another

17:59 ↗ non-organic substance so that's why

18:02 ↗ that's not necessarily an option we're

18:04 ↗ looking at but happy to

18:06 ↗ to have discussion about that

18:09 ↗ dave anything to add in that really

18:11 ↗ broad

18:13 ↗ overview uh no i think you've done an

18:15 ↗ excellent job

18:16 ↗ um i'd just like to add that um

18:19 ↗ it's really disturbing to me that

18:23 ↗ it's it's been 12 years since this field

18:25 ↗ was built because i feel like it was

18:27 ↗ just done

18:27 ↗ and so it makes me feel old

18:33 ↗ i feel the same way

18:37 ↗ oh time what fun yes yes

18:41 ↗ so that brad is as chair i i turn it

18:43 ↗ back over to you

18:44 ↗ um if there's q a or discussion or

18:46 ↗ whatever you guys want to handle it

18:49 ↗ okay i think let's uh kind of go around

18:51 ↗ the horn here

18:52 ↗ and i have a whole bunch of questions

18:54 ↗ but i don't want to hog all the time

18:56 ↗ so i'll let everybody else on the board

18:57 ↗ go first and uh so go ahead and raise

19:00 ↗ your hand i'll call on you so reuben

19:01 ↗ what questions do you have

19:03 ↗ yeah of the three options for infill is

19:06 ↗ there any particular infill that

19:08 ↗ made this wise is easier to maintain

19:11 ↗ than any of the others

19:14 ↗ uh should i take that um

19:17 ↗ they're all they're all essentially the

19:19 ↗ same and that was really kind of one of

19:21 ↗ the criteria

19:23 ↗ that we looked at was was ensuring that

19:26 ↗ we were

19:28 ↗ we were evaluating and and

19:31 ↗ selecting options that wouldn't require

19:34 ↗ any additional maintenance and jennifer

19:36 ↗ mentioned

19:36 ↗ that the earlier iterations of the

19:40 ↗ the cork or the cork and coconut husk

19:43 ↗ organic truly organic infills

19:46 ↗ required supplemental watering

19:51 ↗ to keep them settled down or they would

19:54 ↗ float

19:54 ↗ during heavy rainstorms and and so

19:58 ↗ i think part of the reason that

20:01 ↗ the city is is entertaining doing an

20:04 ↗ organic infill now is that the

20:06 ↗ technology has improved to the point

20:07 ↗ where

20:09 ↗ not only is it safe in terms of gmax and

20:12 ↗ impact attenuation but it's also

20:15 ↗ easy to maintain okay thank you

20:20 ↗ uh danielle i have a couple questions um

20:24 ↗ one is in one of the pre-reads um

20:27 ↗ there was a note about um rubber that

20:30 ↗ wasn't recycled but was rather

20:32 ↗ like like new rubber is that what's

20:35 ↗ used in that hybrid model or is the

20:37 ↗ hybrid the recycled rubber as well

20:40 ↗ no you're correct the one of the two

20:43 ↗ options we settled on and i should

20:45 ↗ say we had we basically had two separate

20:47 ↗ vendors

20:48 ↗ price this in order to make it even

20:50 ↗ though it's going through kcda

20:52 ↗ we wanted we wanted them to sharpen

20:54 ↗ their pencils

20:56 ↗ one of the vendors has a pure cork

20:59 ↗ infill as an organic alternative

21:02 ↗ the other vendor actually has two

21:05 ↗ different

21:06 ↗ types of cork one

21:10 ↗ is a cork and coconut mix which again

21:13 ↗ requires

21:14 ↗ additional watering and maintenance so

21:16 ↗ that one got ruled out

21:18 ↗ and the the blended

21:22 ↗ product that we did have them bid it

21:24 ↗ basically consists of

21:26 ↗ cork natural tree rubber

21:31 ↗ and then they call it virgin

21:35 ↗ sbr which basically means that

21:38 ↗ it it hasn't gone through the chemical

21:41 ↗ processes like vulcanization that tires

21:44 ↗ go through

21:45 ↗ so it's not an end of life product like

21:48 ↗ a

21:49 ↗ crumb rubber is it's it but it's used in

21:52 ↗ the manufacture of gaskets

21:55 ↗ so if you can imagine they they make

21:56 ↗ this sbr

21:58 ↗ they manufacture the gasket and then the

22:01 ↗ waste

22:02 ↗ from the manufacturing process is what

22:04 ↗ goes into this product

22:05 ↗ so that they call it virgin sbr

22:08 ↗ but it's essentially still synthetic

22:11 ↗ rubber

22:13 ↗ that would be the option that's used in

22:14 ↗ the hybrid kind of

22:16 ↗ connection option

22:20 ↗ yes so it does have a little bit of

22:23 ↗ it has it has some cork it has

22:27 ↗ some natural rubber from rubber trees

22:30 ↗ and it has some uh synthetic rubber

22:33 ↗ it's just not post consumer product okay

22:37 ↗ in back probably in 2008 when we were

22:39 ↗ doing this project

22:41 ↗ um so i guess it would have been like

22:42 ↗ before that we were talking about these

22:44 ↗ um

22:45 ↗ one of the other my recollection is that

22:46 ↗ one of the other drawbacks

22:48 ↗ um on the natural surfaces was maybe a

22:51 ↗ higher

22:53 ↗ okay a concern about um uh

22:56 ↗ bacteria growth or kind of like

23:00 ↗ um staph um

23:03 ↗ growing is that still a concern or are

23:06 ↗ these

23:07 ↗ products like has that also been

23:09 ↗ eliminated as a

23:11 ↗ issue well i wouldn't say it's been

23:13 ↗ eliminated

23:15 ↗ um because they're organic materials

23:18 ↗ um they not so

23:22 ↗ much staph or or bacterial but

23:25 ↗ uh seedlings will sprout in them

23:29 ↗ so um so you have to make sure that

23:32 ↗ you're

23:33 ↗ you're dragging and and sweeping the

23:35 ↗ field on a regular maintenance schedule

23:37 ↗ to keep stuff from

23:39 ↗ from setting up in there but in terms of

23:42 ↗ staph infection i have not seen any

23:45 ↗ data that suggests it's any any more

23:47 ↗ prone to that

23:48 ↗ than the traditional sbr infiltrator

23:51 ↗ okay and then i have one more question

23:53 ↗ and that is um probably the big concern

23:56 ↗ for the athletes

23:56 ↗ is like how are those alternatives

23:59 ↗ what's the playability

24:01 ↗ and what other fields in our region

24:04 ↗ are using those and you know um

24:07 ↗ i would like to be able to like you know

24:09 ↗ talk to people who are playing on them

24:10 ↗ and see how

24:11 ↗ how they play what to do yes and and

24:14 ↗ that really is the big deal

24:15 ↗ um the again you know 10 years ago this

24:18 ↗ technology was brand new and people were

24:20 ↗ on a steep learning curve

24:22 ↗ and there weren't any any case studies

24:25 ↗ to go look at um now there are quite a

24:28 ↗ few

24:29 ↗ and the manufacturers have continued to

24:31 ↗ refine their product and their

24:33 ↗ installation procedures

24:35 ↗ uh the city of woodenville at carroll

24:39 ↗ edwards park which is the park if you

24:41 ↗ come down

24:42 ↗ if you go out 405 and you come down into

24:43 ↗ woodenville it's the park right at that

24:45 ↗ main corner when you first arrive into

24:47 ↗ town

24:48 ↗ the big multi-use that's correct yes

24:51 ↗ they just installed

24:54 ↗ uh the 100 cork

24:58 ↗ in uh that is one of our two

25:02 ↗ bid options um there are

25:05 ↗ so that's the best one that i could

25:07 ↗ point you to

25:09 ↗ there are several others that are close

25:11 ↗ but not quite the same

25:13 ↗ rentons memorial stadium has the cork

25:16 ↗ and coconut

25:17 ↗ husk no that's not that's not right

25:20 ↗ south kitsap high school has the cork

25:22 ↗ and coconut husk

25:24 ↗ i know that chief self stadium in west

25:28 ↗ seattle

25:28 ↗ is a cork field and actually the city of

25:32 ↗ seattle parks department has gone

25:34 ↗ to 100 they're they're doing all their

25:36 ↗ fields with

25:37 ↗ with cork or cork and coconut products

25:41 ↗ so um so now we can see we can go and we

25:44 ↗ can look at how these fields have been

25:46 ↗ acting and behaving and their

25:48 ↗ playability over a five-year period or

25:50 ↗ so

25:51 ↗ and generally what we're hearing and

25:54 ↗ finding is that

25:55 ↗ the infill um is great it's fine

25:59 ↗ it's the playability of these fields has

26:01 ↗ more to do with the

26:02 ↗ the type of turf fiber that you choose

26:06 ↗ and so we're going with a hybrid fiber

26:09 ↗ which is

26:09 ↗ 50 monofilament 50 slit film

26:13 ↗ which gives you the best of both worlds

26:15 ↗ in terms of encapsulating the infill so

26:17 ↗ you don't get a lot of fly out

26:19 ↗ but the monofilament fibers stand up

26:21 ↗ straight so soccer balls bounce and roll

26:24 ↗ true

26:26 ↗ so generally they've been well received

26:30 ↗ the other point i would make is that the

26:32 ↗ the organic infills as jen

26:34 ↗ mentioned do require a pad a shock pad

26:37 ↗ underneath

26:39 ↗ to ensure that you're getting the gmax

26:41 ↗ or impact attenuation

26:44 ↗ numbers that you want and one of the

26:45 ↗ advantages of having a pad

26:48 ↗ is that once you've got that pad you're

26:50 ↗ really sort of

26:52 ↗ insulated against having a field get too

26:55 ↗ hard over time

26:57 ↗ which can be a problem with the

26:59 ↗ traditional infills if they're not

27:00 ↗ properly maintained

27:05 ↗ hey dave can i ask a follow-up question

27:08 ↗ thanks for those questions danielle

27:10 ↗ really good in terms of the

27:12 ↗ you you mentioned to go with a full

27:14 ↗ organic

27:15 ↗ obviously the recommended maintenance

27:17 ↗ for grooming um

27:19 ↗ to make sure seedlings don't sprout

27:21 ↗ that's a that's a pretty typical

27:23 ↗ recommended grooming

27:25 ↗ um weight even with um a full

27:29 ↗ you know sand rubber mix right

27:33 ↗ yes i have seen uh two inch tall

27:36 ↗ cottonwood trees in a sand rubber field

27:39 ↗ before

27:39 ↗ right so yes yes so without without

27:42 ↗ the the that maintenance frequency of

27:45 ↗ grooming

27:46 ↗ regardless of the infill right there's

27:48 ↗ that risk of

27:50 ↗ yeah growth yeah and and um and just

27:53 ↗ based on my own

27:54 ↗ personal experience uh the pad three

27:57 ↗ site isn't

27:58 ↗ isn't so much a worry for that it's the

28:02 ↗ sites that

28:03 ↗ um you know are close to a forested area

28:06 ↗ and so maybe that

28:08 ↗ first you get a lot of leaf drop on them

28:10 ↗ or they're in the shade

28:12 ↗ quite a bit so you can actually get moss

28:14 ↗ on them

28:15 ↗ those are the fields where we usually

28:17 ↗ see that kind of thing

28:18 ↗ but yours is is so out in the open

28:21 ↗ that i i'm sure you haven't had that

28:24 ↗ problem

28:25 ↗ in the past and i wouldn't expect that

28:27 ↗ you will now

28:28 ↗ yeah no i just appreciated danielle's

28:30 ↗ question and again i think our

28:32 ↗ our grooming frequency is is is really

28:35 ↗ essential

28:36 ↗ um for health and safety um regardless

28:39 ↗ of what

28:40 ↗ surface we go with right

28:44 ↗ uh marlene i see a hand there yes hi

28:48 ↗ thanks um i appreciate this conversation

28:50 ↗ i don't know about

28:51 ↗ how many of you guys are trying to clean

28:53 ↗ that rubber off of your kids clothes or

28:56 ↗ it's in the car

28:58 ↗ my son actually got some in his eye

29:00 ↗ playing at dodd field last week

29:01 ↗ so like um i'm excited about the idea if

29:04 ↗ we can do something that's safer but

29:06 ↗ still

29:06 ↗ it keeps the playability and the

29:08 ↗ maintenance and so i think that's

29:10 ↗ exciting

29:11 ↗ a question that i had regarding the full

29:14 ↗ cork versus the hybrid

29:15 ↗ i'm curious if you could help us

29:17 ↗ understand sort of the pros and cons or

29:18 ↗ benefits of

29:20 ↗ you know to me it sounds like oh if we

29:22 ↗ can go all organic why wouldn't we do

29:23 ↗ that but maybe there's some benefits i

29:25 ↗ don't understand

29:26 ↗ about the the hybrid model

29:30 ↗ um the short answer is

29:33 ↗ um no there really isn't

29:37 ↗ um the the

29:41 ↗ we arrived at the choices we arrived at

29:43 ↗ in in

29:45 ↗ kind of by a process of elimination

29:47 ↗ trying to find the

29:48 ↗ the best most highest percentage of

29:52 ↗ organic

29:54 ↗ product choices that we could um

29:57 ↗ kind of coupled with selecting vendors

29:59 ↗ that have a turf

30:00 ↗ product that's proven and has a good

30:03 ↗ track record

30:04 ↗ and who have a good track record

30:08 ↗ of being able to deliver their product

30:10 ↗ on time and install it properly

30:12 ↗ and stand up behind their warranty you

30:14 ↗ know kind of all of those things that

30:15 ↗ you would look for in a contractor

30:17 ↗ or a vendor the

30:20 ↗ and and then again also the maintenance

30:23 ↗ the the

30:24 ↗ the the vendor who has this hybrid

30:27 ↗ product also does offer a 100

30:31 ↗ organic product it's cork

30:34 ↗ and coconut and it requires

30:38 ↗ additional maintenance so we we kind of

30:42 ↗ weighed those choices and decided well

30:44 ↗ it's not

30:45 ↗ a hundred percent natural but it's

30:49 ↗ i can't tell you the exact percentage

30:51 ↗ but it's a lot closer

30:53 ↗ so it seemed like the the best choice

30:57 ↗ yeah and just to add to that marlene um

31:00 ↗ yeah i think to compare you know to look

31:03 ↗ at the playability again and dave did a

31:05 ↗ good job of explaining playability is

31:07 ↗ really the mix of fiber

31:08 ↗ we choose and the infill right the

31:10 ↗ difference between the

31:12 ↗ the fiber and all cork and fill versus

31:15 ↗ the fiber that was in that bid with this

31:18 ↗ hybrid model everything we've seen and

31:22 ↗ heard i

31:23 ↗ playability is not going to be a

31:24 ↗ trade-off between one or the other it

31:26 ↗ really is going to come down to

31:28 ↗ you know do we want to consider it all

31:31 ↗ organic or a partial organic

31:34 ↗ between those two options um

31:38 ↗ and as dave said you know what we felt

31:40 ↗ the trade-off was

31:41 ↗ was going with this hybrid option versus

31:46 ↗ a coconut cork mix that we didn't feel

31:50 ↗ was viable because of the

31:51 ↗ added maintenance um and need for

31:53 ↗ watering

31:55 ↗ so that's the one bowl that's the one

32:00 ↗ seattle put in that's the one that south

32:03 ↗ kitsap

32:04 ↗ okay high school has and again

32:07 ↗ they're watering that pretty frequently

32:12 ↗ thank you for those the other thing that

32:14 ↗ i would just add and i liked the

32:15 ↗ analogy of the carpet um and uh in your

32:19 ↗ house and i always find the best place

32:20 ↗ to spend the money is in that pad

32:21 ↗ so um i guess i appreciated a little

32:24 ↗ reading on the safety of that even in

32:26 ↗ other fields so appreciate you know

32:28 ↗ really thinking about sort of the safety

32:30 ↗ of our athletes with the pad and

32:31 ↗ would want to encourage us just to think

32:33 ↗ about you know as we're allocating

32:34 ↗ budget making sure that that's

32:36 ↗ you know top of mind for safety

32:40 ↗ we want to think of this investment too

32:42 ↗ as

32:43 ↗ um how are we positioning for the future

32:46 ↗ where's the industry going and and i

32:49 ↗ think understanding

32:50 ↗ as infill options continue to evolve

32:53 ↗ and will likely evolve by the next time

32:55 ↗ we're replacing carpet

32:57 ↗ um i think with a pad we're going to be

33:01 ↗ more

33:02 ↗ um better resourced for

33:05 ↗ those other infill options so this is

33:07 ↗ sort of an investment now but i think it

33:09 ↗ also positions those fields

33:12 ↗ into the future as well

33:19 ↗ are you done marlene

33:22 ↗ chris go ahead yeah uh with the

33:26 ↗ hybrid infill is the are the rubber

33:29 ↗ particles are they shredded or are they

33:32 ↗ the cryogenerated

33:34 ↗ they're cryo

33:37 ↗ and that that for those that may not be

33:39 ↗ familiar if you look

33:41 ↗ under a microscope the shredded ones

33:44 ↗ kind of look like this they have a lot

33:46 ↗ of surface area but then they release a

33:48 ↗ lot of dust and

33:49 ↗ whatever but then the cryo ones are more

33:51 ↗ like a little cube

33:52 ↗ and they're a little bit more stable so

33:54 ↗ last longer

33:59 ↗ anything else chris

34:04 ↗ questions from anybody else

34:10 ↗ i'll jump in with a couple um

34:14 ↗ jen and jeff has there been any feedback

34:16 ↗ from the sports leagues that actually

34:18 ↗ use these fields to get their feedback

34:20 ↗ or input

34:23 ↗ in terms of their preferences

34:31 ↗ no a lot of our conversations last year

34:34 ↗ as we were framing this up were

34:36 ↗ um really focused on striping and what

34:39 ↗ um lines look like um i think

34:42 ↗ you know taking feedback we hear from

34:44 ↗ you um

34:45 ↗ getting feedback from those groups

34:48 ↗ will be a next step okay so that is

34:51 ↗ something you plan to do though

34:55 ↗ yes before this would go to council we

34:57 ↗ would we would let those groups know

35:00 ↗ what we're what we're considering and

35:01 ↗ get their feedback

35:03 ↗ okay what does the

35:06 ↗ seahawks and uh husky use in uh

35:10 ↗ in their fields out of curiosity they

35:13 ↗ are all still um uh

35:16 ↗ crumb rubber well crumb rubber and

35:19 ↗ and sand blended

35:23 ↗ which is similar to what we have at

35:24 ↗ central park pad one

35:26 ↗ so that's the generation we just

35:28 ↗ installed right

35:30 ↗ they have pads underneath they do yes so

35:33 ↗ with a pad

35:34 ↗ good point chris we do not have a pad at

35:36 ↗ pad one that's a bit redundant

35:39 ↗ and they do it a little different

35:43 ↗ a football team wants a really fast

35:45 ↗ field

35:46 ↗ and a soccer team wants something to

35:48 ↗ play more like natural grass

35:50 ↗ and so they have competing interests in

35:52 ↗ that respect

35:53 ↗ and they can kind of balance it with the

35:55 ↗ pad and the pad underneath

35:59 ↗ and out of curiosity you said that every

36:03 ↗ all these options can stay within budget

36:06 ↗ whereas the sbr only doesn't have a pad

36:10 ↗ whereas the organics do

36:14 ↗ how are you able to add a pad and still

36:17 ↗ stay within budget

36:19 ↗ is the organics less expensive than the

36:21 ↗ sbr to offset those costs

36:23 ↗ or how does that work no it's a great

36:26 ↗ question brad i think as we budgeted the

36:28 ↗ project

36:29 ↗ itself we um

36:32 ↗ we're the 1.6 is at a level where

36:36 ↗ to add a pad and to go with the organics

36:39 ↗ we would still be within that number

36:41 ↗ if we were to go without a pad and just

36:43 ↗ do the

36:45 ↗ more traditional svr sand mix

36:49 ↗ it would be less expensive so we

36:51 ↗ wouldn't be

36:52 ↗ we wouldn't be spending as much um again

36:55 ↗ we haven't gotten final prices but it's

36:58 ↗ probably a couple hundred thousand

36:59 ↗ dollar

37:00 ↗ uh difference

37:04 ↗ but again a question of what you know i

37:07 ↗ think what we should anticipate with any

37:09 ↗ synthetic field we put in

37:11 ↗ um and manage for the next 20 30 40

37:15 ↗ years

37:16 ↗ is um we will be neat we will need to be

37:18 ↗ putting a pad

37:19 ↗ um on synthetic turf fields um at some

37:22 ↗ point in the future

37:24 ↗ so might as well do it now then right

37:26 ↗ well that's a consideration

37:28 ↗ but your your question is a really good

37:30 ↗ one is that yeah there would be

37:32 ↗ a near there'd be a near-term savings if

37:35 ↗ we went

37:36 ↗ with notepad and chrome rubber and sand

37:40 ↗ but it might be an expense we're going

37:41 ↗ to end up paying

37:43 ↗ you know 10 years from now 15 years from

37:45 ↗ now when we do it next time

37:50 ↗ and and are these organic products not

37:52 ↗ safer in the long run

37:54 ↗ i mean dave what's your thought on that

37:57 ↗ well if you're referring to the the

38:00 ↗ concern about

38:01 ↗ carcinogens um cancer in the sbr

38:05 ↗ you know they're just to date to my

38:08 ↗ knowledge there's been no

38:11 ↗ scientific testing or evidence to

38:14 ↗ support

38:16 ↗ the claims of cancer from

38:19 ↗ the sbr rubber infills um

38:23 ↗ there's a lot of anecdotal evidence

38:25 ↗ there's a lot of stories but there's

38:27 ↗ doesn't doesn't seem to be backed up by

38:30 ↗ by

38:30 ↗ scientific research

38:33 ↗ it's also true that uh the

38:37 ↗ the measurable pollutants in runoff

38:41 ↗ and off-gassing uh from sbr fields

38:46 ↗ are below any federal thresholds

38:49 ↗ i think we all when we stand on a

38:52 ↗ rubber field on a hot day can kind of

38:54 ↗ smell it

38:56 ↗ you know and so there clearly is off

38:58 ↗ gassing

38:59 ↗ um and so you know intuitively

39:02 ↗ going to an organic infill there'll be

39:04 ↗ there be less or none of that

39:08 ↗ so so to answer your question they're

39:11 ↗ not

39:11 ↗ safer because no one's proved that the

39:13 ↗ sbr rubber infills are unsafe

39:17 ↗ i think we all like the idea of

39:20 ↗ of getting away from using the recycled

39:23 ↗ tires as an infill and going to a more

39:25 ↗ organic approach

39:26 ↗ i think that's where the industry is

39:28 ↗ headed

39:30 ↗ another thing i might mention is that

39:32 ↗ from a

39:33 ↗ in terms of the the heat on these fields

39:37 ↗ the organic infills

39:41 ↗ because you're not putting that black

39:43 ↗ heat

39:44 ↗ heat absorbing product on the ground

39:47 ↗ um you know they have a lower albedo so

39:50 ↗ they don't get quite as hot

39:52 ↗ which is definitely a benefit has there

39:55 ↗ been any

39:56 ↗ litigation that's addressed any of these

39:58 ↗ safety concerns

40:00 ↗ that's an excellent question um i'm i'm

40:03 ↗ sure there has

40:05 ↗ i can't point to specific um

40:08 ↗ lawsuits however um

40:11 ↗ and to my knowledge um no one has

40:15 ↗ successfully litigated against any of

40:18 ↗ the turf companies

40:19 ↗ uh for the use of uh or

40:22 ↗ you know one in a court of law um

40:26 ↗ a claim against them for injury related

40:30 ↗ to sbr rubber

40:32 ↗ and the rubber versus organic the

40:35 ↗ longevity is about the same

40:38 ↗ yes they're um they're all warranted the

40:41 ↗ same

40:42 ↗ and with maintenance proper maintenance

40:46 ↗ the playability and the gmax is the same

40:50 ↗ that's one of the benefits of being you

40:53 ↗ know six eight

40:54 ↗ ten years down the road now and and

40:56 ↗ starting to be able to have case studies

40:58 ↗ where we can actually see

41:00 ↗ what one of these fields looks like

41:01 ↗ that's been played on for for that

41:03 ↗ length of time

41:04 ↗ so yeah we're confident that um

41:07 ↗ that the life the life cycle cost and

41:09 ↗ the lifespan is

41:10 ↗ is equivalent yeah that consistent

41:14 ↗ uh vendor warranty with any of the

41:16 ↗ products is is

41:17 ↗ really helpful

41:20 ↗ is there any moisture buildup problems

41:23 ↗ with these organic products that's a

41:25 ↗ pretty

41:25 ↗ sloppy area up there i mean is that a

41:28 ↗ concern at all

41:29 ↗ in terms of getting it too too wet

41:34 ↗ well no um these the

41:38 ↗ the fields are designed to drain

41:41 ↗ extremely efficiently

41:43 ↗ um and you know that there's a full

41:46 ↗ drainage system

41:47 ↗ the base rock underneath them is very

41:50 ↗ porous

41:51 ↗ the the turf product itself drains

41:53 ↗ extremely well

41:55 ↗ and you know i think some of the earlier

41:58 ↗ attempts at the organic

42:01 ↗ coconut products did have some problems

42:06 ↗ with um you know biodegrading

42:09 ↗ and turning to mush and or floating

42:12 ↗ literally floating and now

42:16 ↗ through you know refinements to

42:19 ↗ what goes into the mix and the particle

42:21 ↗ size

42:23 ↗ and how it's how it's you know you can't

42:26 ↗ cryogenically break up crumb rubber

42:30 ↗ i mean uh cork but you can you can cut

42:32 ↗ it

42:33 ↗ to shape and size you know so that the

42:35 ↗ particle size is

42:36 ↗ is getting the best of both worlds in

42:38 ↗ terms of drainage but also knitting

42:40 ↗ together

42:40 ↗ to to perform the way we want those

42:43 ↗ infills

42:44 ↗ to perform so so not so much

42:47 ↗ an issue in terms of of getting moist

42:50 ↗ and again i'll go back to what i said

42:51 ↗ earlier about

42:52 ↗ the fields that i've seen that i've done

42:54 ↗ that have problems are the ones that are

42:55 ↗ in shade

42:57 ↗ um or up against a forested or wooded

42:59 ↗ edge

43:00 ↗ and and we don't have that condition

43:01 ↗ here

43:04 ↗ jeremy you're kind of the sports guy of

43:06 ↗ the of the crew here

43:08 ↗ you got any comments about uh

43:09 ↗ preferences or anything

43:13 ↗ uh can you hear me yep yeah sorry uh i'm

43:17 ↗ having technical difficulties tonight

43:18 ↗ i'm not sure what's going on but uh

43:21 ↗ you know i i guess i i played on all

43:24 ↗ sorts of different

43:25 ↗ surfaces i don't know as if i played on

43:27 ↗ one that's the uh

43:28 ↗ the cork a lot of creme rubber

43:32 ↗ i don't know as if i have a preference

43:33 ↗ either way you know it ends up in your

43:35 ↗ shoes

43:36 ↗ no matter what maybe this cork would not

43:39 ↗ be as much i

43:40 ↗ you know did i worry um

43:44 ↗ i'm not sure how to put this in terms

43:46 ↗ but you know like when you fall and the

43:48 ↗ absorption of

43:49 ↗ the fall and injury and stuff does it

43:51 ↗ still have the same

43:53 ↗ property absorption properties the cork

43:55 ↗ stuff

43:57 ↗ yes it does it's in and i would argue

44:00 ↗ that with the addition of the pad

44:02 ↗ um it may be better um you certainly

44:06 ↗ have

44:06 ↗ the the g-max which is the the

44:10 ↗ the units that they use to measure uh

44:13 ↗ the impact attenuation

44:15 ↗ is is the same and again because you've

44:18 ↗ got that pad

44:20 ↗ which has a certain amount of cushion

44:22 ↗ that does not go away over time

44:25 ↗ um even if you're having some issues

44:28 ↗ with the infill which we wouldn't expect

44:29 ↗ to have you're always going to have that

44:31 ↗ pad

44:32 ↗ so from a safety from a cushioning

44:35 ↗ perspective uh they're the same

44:38 ↗ and what about spreadability i mean how

44:40 ↗ do they uh

44:41 ↗ do you have to add more to it all the

44:43 ↗ time just like the current crab rubber

44:45 ↗ one

44:45 ↗ yeah because right right now in this

44:47 ↗ current way we do it

44:49 ↗ there's times where there's like massive

44:51 ↗ piles of crumb rubber just sitting there

44:53 ↗ and you know the kids are having to like

44:55 ↗ spread out with their feet

44:57 ↗ right um so

45:02 ↗ if you're having massive piles of chrome

45:03 ↗ rubber then something else has gone

45:05 ↗ wrong

45:06 ↗ that that shouldn't be happening um and

45:09 ↗ i do

45:09 ↗ and i i know that up at pad three now

45:12 ↗ that i know there were some issues with

45:14 ↗ maintenance for a while

45:15 ↗ um i think it maybe got overfilled at

45:17 ↗ some point

45:19 ↗ um but to answer your question more

45:21 ↗ directly

45:22 ↗ um you know the system is designed for

45:25 ↗ that infill to stay in place

45:27 ↗ as best it can one of the reasons that

45:30 ↗ we're

45:31 ↗ we're going with the hybrid fiber type

45:33 ↗ is that that

45:34 ↗ slit film fiber over time as it

45:37 ↗ fibrillates and breaks up

45:39 ↗ um it curls over and does a good job of

45:42 ↗ holding that infill in place

45:46 ↗ but you do have to maintain it you do

45:48 ↗ have to rake it

45:50 ↗ because that helps keep the infill

45:52 ↗ properly distributed

45:54 ↗ and in the high wear areas you know

45:57 ↗ right in front of the goal mouth

45:59 ↗ or right at the center circle or the

46:01 ↗ corner kick area

46:03 ↗ where you get a lot of you know

46:05 ↗ intensive

46:06 ↗ traffic you know you do have to pay

46:08 ↗ attention to those areas

46:10 ↗ and they may require a periodic

46:14 ↗ top dressing um but that's no different

46:17 ↗ than an sbr

46:18 ↗ field so would you say it sits down

46:21 ↗ inside the turf better than the crumb

46:23 ↗ rubber

46:24 ↗ i would say it's it's really the same

46:26 ↗ you know

46:27 ↗ it i don't i don't think it sits down

46:30 ↗ particularly

46:30 ↗ better but i don't think it flies out

46:33 ↗ anymore

46:34 ↗ and and we're not seeing issues with it

46:37 ↗ floating that was an issue

46:39 ↗ early on in this experiment with core

46:42 ↗ was that sometimes this stuff would

46:44 ↗ float in fact i went up and i would

46:45 ↗ really encourage you all to go

46:47 ↗ up and take a walk on that at carol

46:50 ↗ edwards park because that is a

46:52 ↗ true apples to apples comparison to what

46:55 ↗ we're looking at here so if you really

46:57 ↗ want to see what it's like

46:58 ↗ i'd go i'd go look up there and i went

47:00 ↗ up there the other day after we had that

47:02 ↗ big storm because i was curious and

47:04 ↗ there was no evidence of any infill

47:07 ↗ movement at all

47:12 ↗ any other questions or comments from

47:14 ↗ anyone

47:17 ↗ so i'm assuming the hybrid oops did you

47:20 ↗ have something danielle

47:21 ↗ oh yeah i just want to say like to the

47:23 ↗ extent that um

47:24 ↗ that they're all the same budget-wise in

47:26 ↗ my instinct

47:27 ↗ did you do the organic material um you

47:30 ↗ know like

47:31 ↗ there were reasons why we haven't done

47:33 ↗ that in the past

47:34 ↗ um but i know that there aren't

47:38 ↗ you know i understand that there aren't

47:40 ↗ studies or that say

47:42 ↗ or you know definitively that the chrome

47:44 ↗ rubber is a problem but

47:46 ↗ just it seems like if i was going to

47:49 ↗ choose one or the other i would

47:51 ↗ organic especially because those little

47:53 ↗ pellets end up everywhere

47:54 ↗ you know they really do so

47:58 ↗ sorry for missiles so are we replacing

48:00 ↗ the um the turf portion two or just the

48:02 ↗ infield

48:03 ↗ or you gotta replace the whole thing

48:04 ↗ terrible thing yeah the whole deal

48:07 ↗ old ball walks yeah and my computer

48:09 ↗ finally came back on when i heard

48:10 ↗ football lines so

48:12 ↗ uh but i missed a good portion of that

48:14 ↗ so are we going to have some sort of

48:15 ↗ football lines this time

48:17 ↗ so go ahead dave um we're not going to

48:21 ↗ stripe it for football

48:22 ↗ we're going to put uh four inch square

48:26 ↗ layout markers um at

48:29 ↗ each ten yard interval all the way

48:32 ↗ around what would be the perimeter

48:34 ↗ of a football field so it would make it

48:36 ↗ very easy to set out cones

48:38 ↗ or theoretically you could paint it and

48:41 ↗ you'd use be able to use those as layout

48:43 ↗ markers

48:45 ↗ other than that we're just going to have

48:46 ↗ soccer and then we're going with the u.s

48:50 ↗ lacrosse

48:50 ↗ unified lacrosse layout so it's a

48:54 ↗ it's a blend of the boys and girls

48:57 ↗ lacrosse so we don't have two sets of

49:00 ↗ lacrosse lines competing with each other

49:02 ↗ is that because lacrosse is more popular

49:04 ↗ than football

49:07 ↗ that was a facetious question i thought

49:09 ↗ so i can't answer that one

49:12 ↗ that one's jeff's have you talked to the

49:14 ↗ lacrosse is it

49:15 ↗ a lot with the cross clubs and are they

49:17 ↗ okay with that

49:20 ↗ yes we got the recommendation from them

49:22 ↗ that the unified was acceptable

49:24 ↗ i mean i think that the fewer lines that

49:27 ↗ are confusing probably the better

49:30 ↗ well i'm not sure how issaquah high

49:31 ↗ school can do it

49:33 ↗ but we can't figure it out don't they

49:35 ↗ have soccer and football in the same

49:37 ↗ field

49:42 ↗ yeah i'm not sure what your question

49:44 ↗ you're asking jeremy are you saying

49:46 ↗ i'm saying why don't we why can't we get

49:47 ↗ football lines on there

49:49 ↗ it's the most popular sport

49:53 ↗ a full football field well knowing that

49:56 ↗ there's not

49:57 ↗ traditionally there's not games up there

50:00 ↗ there is

50:01 ↗ an added cost with that much

50:04 ↗ inlay of of striping

50:09 ↗ we certainly thought it would be a

50:10 ↗ benefit to again at least have those

50:13 ↗ tick sheets to aid in

50:17 ↗ the number of practices that take place

50:19 ↗ up there

50:24 ↗ so overall is the hybrid what you're

50:26 ↗ recommending

50:30 ↗ the hybrid infill threat

50:33 ↗ i think if if you were asked to ask a

50:36 ↗ staff recommendation as we've

50:38 ↗ kicked the tires and looked at the

50:39 ↗ woodenville field and other ones

50:41 ↗ are our recommendation would be to go

50:45 ↗ with

50:46 ↗ the corp this sort of third generation

50:48 ↗ of cork and go with an

50:50 ↗ all organic infill with with the

50:53 ↗ addition of the pad

50:58 ↗ but again really appreciate this

51:00 ↗ discussion and really want to hear what

51:02 ↗ you know what your all perspective is

51:04 ↗ jennifer and i have a meeting with the

51:06 ↗ mayor and city administrator later this

51:08 ↗ week

51:08 ↗ to talk about a couple capital projects

51:10 ↗ this being one of them and

51:12 ↗ again would just be open to any input

51:15 ↗ you all have um if there's consensus

51:18 ↗ you know if you want to sort of give an

51:20 ↗ advisory recommendation

51:22 ↗ and or just summary discussion um

51:26 ↗ i would love to deliver your feedback

51:28 ↗ either either way

51:30 ↗ okay back to your comment about not

51:33 ↗ having games up there

51:34 ↗ if we were to have games up there then

51:36 ↗ it would warrant putting lines on the

51:37 ↗ field

51:37 ↗ because i mean the reason there's no

51:38 ↗ games up there is there's no lines on

51:40 ↗ the field

51:42 ↗ right a bit of a chicken in the egg

51:45 ↗ perhaps

51:46 ↗ perhaps yeah i i

51:50 ↗ that is that is not something again i

51:52 ↗ get i guess as we did this replacement

51:54 ↗ jeremy we were looking at

51:55 ↗ the historical use and understanding

51:58 ↗ i think the intensity of use and the mix

52:00 ↗ of use that we're having to manage in

52:02 ↗ the fall

52:03 ↗ when football games are in football

52:04 ↗ season is happening

52:06 ↗ and the likelihood of that being able to

52:09 ↗ host football games

52:10 ↗ and soccer games is

52:13 ↗ is relatively light relative to the

52:17 ↗ investment and the cost and the

52:20 ↗ visible impact of all those football

52:22 ↗ lines i think brian probably has a

52:24 ↗ little bit more of that history than i

52:26 ↗ do

52:26 ↗ yeah and jim i could just speak it's

52:28 ↗ been a little while but i know that in

52:30 ↗ the past the discussion was that the

52:31 ↗ football games

52:32 ↗ were intentionally wanted to be held at

52:34 ↗ the high schools

52:35 ↗ for that you know you're at the high

52:36 ↗ school that's where you're going to be

52:37 ↗ in the future

52:38 ↗ the stadium the whole feel that was i

52:41 ↗ know that that

52:42 ↗ feeling and that's where at least way

52:44 ↗ back when for a number of years that was

52:45 ↗ at least the philosophy was that games

52:48 ↗ wanted to be at the high school because

52:49 ↗ of

52:50 ↗ just more energy just by the very nature

52:52 ↗ of what you're playing on right

52:54 ↗ that's just a little history yeah but i

52:57 ↗ i

52:57 ↗ think the excuses of uh you know it

52:59 ↗ doesn't look as good

53:00 ↗ it doesn't enter into my mind every high

53:03 ↗ school field i've been on

53:04 ↗ football and has soccer and football so

53:06 ↗ it's not you know

53:08 ↗ it's not like people are not used to

53:09 ↗ seeing football and soccer together on

53:10 ↗ the same field

53:15 ↗ april did i see you had something

53:18 ↗ uh yeah i just wanted to kind of throw

53:22 ↗ in my vote for

53:23 ↗ a more option a lot of the um

53:27 ↗ chrome rubber type options from what i

53:30 ↗ have read it seems that the runoff

53:33 ↗ can be um it could potentially

53:37 ↗ contaminate streams and things so

53:39 ↗ i think going with an organic or a more

53:42 ↗ organic

53:42 ↗ option or a more natural option would

53:46 ↗ help with keeping chemicals potentially

53:48 ↗ out of our streams

53:52 ↗ i'd be curious going back to jeremy's

53:54 ↗ question about football and lacrosse and

53:56 ↗ soccer

53:57 ↗ um is this one of the few places where

53:59 ↗ they there's an opportunity to do

54:00 ↗ lacrosse where the lines are marked

54:02 ↗ it's my understanding there's lots of

54:04 ↗ places to do soccer and football but

54:05 ↗ maybe fewer for lacrosse but maybe i'm

54:07 ↗ wrong on that

54:08 ↗ so i'm just curious as an intended use

54:10 ↗ are these fields meant to be sort of a

54:12 ↗ housing place for lacrosse

54:16 ↗ yes um we also have lacrosse lines

54:19 ↗ at um pad one uh fields as well that we

54:23 ↗ just installed

54:29 ↗ i kind of am on the same boat with april

54:31 ↗ that and

54:32 ↗ others that made comment i think organic

54:34 ↗ is a better way to go

54:36 ↗ environmentally and potentially safety

54:39 ↗ and it sounds like they've worked out

54:40 ↗ the issues

54:41 ↗ that they're not as if they're as

54:43 ↗ playable

54:44 ↗ as rubber so i mean it seems to make

54:46 ↗ sense that that's the way to go

54:49 ↗ not to mention ultimately recycling

54:51 ↗ capability when you

54:53 ↗ when you remove the field you know those

54:56 ↗ products

54:57 ↗ probably could be recycled versus the

54:59 ↗ rubber would

55:00 ↗ i don't know have to go to a landfill

55:02 ↗ maybe i don't know

55:11 ↗ jeff do you need an action item here

55:15 ↗ i don't don't need it no i i guess

55:19 ↗ you know hearing it and and i guess

55:21 ↗ seeing

55:22 ↗ head nods um i don't know if you're

55:25 ↗ comfortable just giving a sense if i was

55:27 ↗ to communicate that

55:28 ↗ um given given the discussion and given

55:31 ↗ what you know

55:33 ↗ there's a preference to strongly

55:34 ↗ consider uh the

55:36 ↗ the all cork um option uh for the

55:39 ↗ install

55:40 ↗ is that a accurate way to put it i would

55:43 ↗ say as

55:44 ↗ especially subject to the sports

55:48 ↗ um teams the local sports teams kind of

55:50 ↗ blessing as well

55:52 ↗ that really does it does matter as far

55:55 ↗ as you know if

55:56 ↗ if there are significant differences and

55:58 ↗ i understand some of that might be on

55:59 ↗ the

56:00 ↗ artificial grass but completely agree

56:03 ↗ yes that playability is still a um

56:07 ↗ primary um reason for

56:11 ↗ this investment so um

56:15 ↗ okay i'll communicate that thank you

56:17 ↗ very much

56:18 ↗ really appreciate the discussion if i

56:20 ↗ could just add it jeremy i appreciate

56:21 ↗ your questions about football

56:23 ↗ um and i guess respecting those

56:25 ↗ questions i just want to get a sense

56:26 ↗ from

56:26 ↗ other board members is there um i

56:30 ↗ i don't want to misspeak and again work

56:33 ↗ you know as we're proceeding with the

56:35 ↗ program as was

56:37 ↗ um decided upon um previously we're not

56:41 ↗ considered football striping but is that

56:44 ↗ um something you as a board want to

56:46 ↗ discuss

56:47 ↗ or um who decided that how do i remember

56:51 ↗ talking about

56:52 ↗ are we considering football or not

56:56 ↗ i missed that meeting

57:01 ↗ i i think that meeting took place um

57:04 ↗ given the original

57:05 ↗ when the when the lines were put in in

57:06 ↗ 2000

57:08 ↗ um the mid-2000s i guess is what i'm

57:10 ↗ referencing jeremy

57:12 ↗ any recollection on that danielle i

57:15 ↗ don't i don't remember that but you know

57:17 ↗ i think i mean the games have been at

57:20 ↗ the high school

57:21 ↗ for you know as long as my kids and

57:26 ↗ probably brian's kids were playing um

57:29 ↗ and then also you know the older kids

57:32 ↗ practice at the middle school

57:33 ↗ so the middle schools have turf fields

57:36 ↗ that have football lines

57:38 ↗ um as well so but

57:42 ↗ but you know there's all the all the

57:44 ↗ younger kids all practice

57:45 ↗ at central park so you know to the

57:48 ↗ extent that

57:49 ↗ my football alliance would help with

57:51 ↗ those practices

57:53 ↗ um i guess i would want to just know

57:55 ↗ what the you know what the cost is

57:57 ↗ and then also be cognizant of like you

57:59 ↗ know once you put like those

58:00 ↗ those lines on pad one are

58:04 ↗ i mean there's so many lines right so at

58:06 ↗ some what point do you get

58:09 ↗ line over here

58:12 ↗ on there too yeah i just wanted to add

58:14 ↗ in in talking with the user groups about

58:17 ↗ lines um they all get used to which

58:20 ↗ lines they're playing with

58:22 ↗ and it tends not to be so much of an

58:24 ↗ issue for the players

58:25 ↗ as more from the outsiders who maybe

58:27 ↗ aren't as familiar with the field

58:29 ↗ markings

58:30 ↗ trying to watch a game because the users

58:32 ↗ learn to adapt

58:34 ↗ so whether it's a boys and girls or

58:37 ↗ just the unified lines and soccers i

58:39 ↗ mean kids over at

58:40 ↗ one we have baseball soccer boys

58:43 ↗ lacrosse and girls lacrosse so

58:46 ↗ there's four different lines at least on

58:48 ↗ one field

58:49 ↗ um for people to have to pay attention

58:51 ↗ to

58:52 ↗ um but the user groups really don't have

58:54 ↗ much of a

58:56 ↗ care either way but they did opt to

58:58 ↗ instead of doing the boys and girls

59:00 ↗ lacrosse lines

59:01 ↗ to go the unified route for these field

59:04 ↗ updates

59:06 ↗ yeah the only user group i've heard

59:08 ↗ complain about the lines is the

59:09 ↗ footballs

59:10 ↗ not having football lines and we just

59:12 ↗ kind of try to guesstimate and walk off

59:14 ↗ step off where 10 yards is

59:16 ↗ i haven't seen how these little markers

59:19 ↗ you're talking about look

59:20 ↗ maybe if i saw a picture of it how it is

59:21 ↗ i don't know

59:23 ↗ so picture along all the sidelines there

59:26 ↗ would be

59:27 ↗ these different colorations jeremy that

59:30 ↗ would denote

59:31 ↗ 10 yard increments so all along the

59:33 ↗ sidelines so

59:35 ↗ something that i i've certainly seen in

59:37 ↗ practice with a number of fields that

59:38 ↗ i've installed

59:40 ↗ with other cities if we wanted to

59:42 ↗ consider

59:44 ↗ painting right maybe a couple of those

59:47 ↗ we

59:48 ↗ you know we work with the football group

59:49 ↗ and paint 10-yard

59:51 ↗ 10-yard lines as a way of better

59:54 ↗ assisting in practices if that's really

59:57 ↗ a

59:57 ↗ primary place for that program's

1:00:00 ↗ practice and not games

1:00:02 ↗ i think there's some things we could do

1:00:03 ↗ within that football season

1:00:05 ↗ to use those 10 yard marks

1:00:08 ↗ either just you know if it helps for

1:00:10 ↗ certain age groups that just have cones

1:00:12 ↗ every 10 yards it's going to be real

1:00:14 ↗ simple for coaches to do that but if

1:00:16 ↗ there's a desire to maybe paint some of

1:00:18 ↗ those 10 yard lines

1:00:21 ↗ as an assistant it just gives much more

1:00:24 ↗ flexibility

1:00:26 ↗ to aid in in those practices what is the

1:00:28 ↗ cost difference

1:00:29 ↗ to add football fines

1:00:33 ↗ a complete football field i i i don't

1:00:35 ↗ know

1:00:38 ↗ well yeah it would depend on how how far

1:00:41 ↗ you went with that

1:00:42 ↗ um like if you're replicated it's like a

1:00:46 ↗ high school field

1:00:47 ↗ that has soccer football doesn't it have

1:00:50 ↗ lacrosse as well

1:00:51 ↗ but you're never going to put games

1:00:53 ↗ there because you don't have goal posts

1:00:54 ↗ and stuff right

1:00:55 ↗ i mean i don't think you'd have to i

1:00:58 ↗ think

1:00:59 ↗ what you would want are enough

1:01:00 ↗ sufficient lines to make a

1:01:02 ↗ make practice easier and useful but

1:01:05 ↗ i don't think you'd ever it would be

1:01:07 ↗ unusual i think that you would actually

1:01:08 ↗ have a

1:01:09 ↗ an actual

1:01:16 ↗ okay let's move along anybody else got

1:01:18 ↗ any questions or comments

1:01:21 ↗ is that good enough for now jeff so

1:01:24 ↗ thank you

1:01:24 ↗ thank you very much for the discussion

1:01:26 ↗ jennifer thank you dave

1:01:27 ↗ thanks so much for joining and

1:01:30 ↗ and providing all your insights you bet

1:01:35 ↗ thank you

1:01:39 ↗ unless you want to just keep with us

1:01:40 ↗ you're welcome

1:01:42 ↗ what else are you going to talk about

1:01:45 ↗ work plan i'll i will i will say my

1:01:48 ↗ goodbyes

1:01:49 ↗ thank you very much to read thanks thank

1:01:52 ↗ you all

1:01:53 ↗ i have one more question that's not turf

1:01:55 ↗ related but related to the field

1:01:58 ↗ okay go ahead um have have you you

1:02:01 ↗ mentioned

1:02:01 ↗ um replacing the fencing because it's

1:02:03 ↗ been damaged with balls getting kicked

1:02:05 ↗ and whatnot

1:02:06 ↗ i was just wondering um like i know up

1:02:09 ↗ in

1:02:09 ↗ preston for um east side fc when they

1:02:13 ↗ when they installed like an actual

1:02:15 ↗ cement wall

1:02:16 ↗ um for kids to intentionally kick kick

1:02:19 ↗ off of individuals and whatnot

1:02:21 ↗ and i don't know if that's something

1:02:22 ↗ that's uniformly like desired by soccer

1:02:24 ↗ people

1:02:25 ↗ or um if so if that would be something

1:02:28 ↗ that could be

1:02:29 ↗ kind of accommodating like wrapped into

1:02:32 ↗ the project

1:02:34 ↗ chris i don't know you're a soccer guy

1:02:36 ↗ right so

1:02:38 ↗ um if you have an opinion i designed

1:02:40 ↗ that wall

1:02:41 ↗ it's just a retaining wall um that we

1:02:44 ↗ decided to make

1:02:45 ↗ into something that the soccer kids

1:02:46 ↗ could use as best we could

1:02:48 ↗ yeah you know one thing that

1:02:52 ↗ could be looked at though is you know

1:02:53 ↗ heavier gauge mesh or also

1:02:55 ↗ um you know even on a four foot putting

1:02:58 ↗ a mid rail in it just

1:03:00 ↗ because the kids will just you know kick

1:03:02 ↗ and kick yeah

1:03:03 ↗ and yeah we do we do have a mid-rail

1:03:08 ↗ um i believe it has a mid-rail yes oh

1:03:11 ↗ man we are and we are going to six

1:03:12 ↗ gauge chris on that fabric penitentiary

1:03:17 ↗ quality yeah we thought about going to a

1:03:20 ↗ smaller

1:03:20 ↗ smaller you know like inch and three

1:03:22 ↗ quarter inch and a half

1:03:24 ↗ but the cost goes up

1:03:28 ↗ and i'm not sure how much benefit you

1:03:29 ↗ really get from that so

1:03:34 ↗ if you have is it okay then for kids to

1:03:37 ↗ kick on it

1:03:38 ↗ or is it still something that you would

1:03:40 ↗ not want to discourage them from doing

1:03:44 ↗ we would we would likely just discourage

1:03:47 ↗ them

1:03:47 ↗ it would wouldn't meant to be that i

1:03:49 ↗ think as we work with issaquah soccer

1:03:51 ↗ club and

1:03:52 ↗ i mean much like eastside does in

1:03:54 ↗ preston right they have rebound little

1:03:55 ↗ rebound walls and other

1:03:57 ↗ portable devices that accomplish some of

1:03:59 ↗ that same goal

1:04:01 ↗ right so i think the the budget allows

1:04:04 ↗ for something you know increasing the

1:04:05 ↗ gauge

1:04:06 ↗ um as dave said increasing a mid-bar but

1:04:09 ↗ pouring a a cement wall would be pretty

1:04:12 ↗ cost prohibitive pretty

1:04:14 ↗ pretty quickly and i also just wanted to

1:04:17 ↗ add

1:04:18 ↗ with the scope of work that we're doing

1:04:20 ↗ right now this is being done as a

1:04:22 ↗ maintenance project

1:04:23 ↗ and not having to go through a full

1:04:25 ↗ permitting project because it is really

1:04:27 ↗ just

1:04:27 ↗ we're pulling up the old carpet and

1:04:29 ↗ putting down new carpet there's no new

1:04:32 ↗ construction

1:04:33 ↗ um by doing a wall or something we'd

1:04:35 ↗ have to go through a whole permitting

1:04:36 ↗ process

1:04:38 ↗ in order to construct a wall

1:04:44 ↗ okay thanks everyone and thank you dave

1:04:47 ↗ appreciate you thank you

1:04:49 ↗ have a good evening youtube

1:04:52 ↗ okay so i guess we're on to the next

1:04:54 ↗ phase here which is uh

1:04:56 ↗ jeff gonna talk a little bit about the

1:04:58 ↗ 2021 work plan

1:05:01 ↗ i will brad thank you um melissa or

1:05:03 ↗ jennifer thanks so much for

1:05:05 ↗ for volunteering to share the work plan

1:05:08 ↗ as i go through this

1:05:11 ↗ again appreciated the discussion

1:05:13 ↗ previously

1:05:14 ↗ i think make up a little bit of time

1:05:16 ↗ with this but

1:05:19 ↗ you know what this represents if you've

1:05:21 ↗ had a chance to open it

1:05:22 ↗ is similar to what we've done the last

1:05:24 ↗ couple of years

1:05:26 ↗ really a quarter by quarter look at

1:05:30 ↗ our major projects and initiatives

1:05:32 ↗ within the entire department

1:05:35 ↗ obviously

1:05:38 ↗ a lot of what your focus is as the parks

1:05:41 ↗ board

1:05:42 ↗ is related to our park projects which

1:05:44 ↗ make up the first two pages

1:05:46 ↗ of this document but also wanted to give

1:05:48 ↗ you some context as to

1:05:51 ↗ other projects that are

1:05:54 ↗ within our department and and what we're

1:05:58 ↗ managing

1:06:00 ↗ as we start to fine-tune this and look

1:06:03 ↗ at

1:06:04 ↗ really cadence of

1:06:07 ↗ our year what our staff resources are

1:06:11 ↗ how we're looking at

1:06:15 ↗ sequencing what we're going to get

1:06:16 ↗ started right away what we're going to

1:06:17 ↗ hold off on

1:06:18 ↗ this work plan tries to tries to really

1:06:21 ↗ balance and

1:06:22 ↗ and be informed by a lot of those things

1:06:26 ↗ just to remind you the color coding what

1:06:28 ↗ we tried to do

1:06:29 ↗ when you look at the tasks within the

1:06:31 ↗ quarter

1:06:33 ↗ the sort of the orangey salmon color

1:06:36 ↗ is really meant to denote when we're in

1:06:38 ↗ a

1:06:40 ↗ planning sort of a conceptual planning

1:06:43 ↗ initial engagement phase with a project

1:06:46 ↗ the yellowish color

1:06:51 ↗ is meant to denote when we're in design

1:06:54 ↗ and permitting

1:06:54 ↗ [Music]

1:06:56 ↗ of that specific project or initiative

1:07:00 ↗ and then the blue is meant to note when

1:07:03 ↗ we

1:07:03 ↗ are transitioning to and we're in either

1:07:06 ↗ a construction phase we're actually

1:07:08 ↗ building what it is we were designing

1:07:10 ↗ and

1:07:11 ↗ planning or in some cases with a project

1:07:15 ↗ what we're implementing actually

1:07:18 ↗ implementing some work

1:07:22 ↗ the i would note as well

1:07:26 ↗ that late last year

1:07:30 ↗ the city adopted a new environmental

1:07:33 ↗ review process

1:07:35 ↗ that any capital project private or

1:07:38 ↗ public

1:07:39 ↗ is going to be asked to embed on and go

1:07:42 ↗ through

1:07:43 ↗ when you're doing any type of um

1:07:46 ↗ site-paced

1:07:46 ↗ site-based development so that's you

1:07:49 ↗ know any development that's on a parcel

1:07:51 ↗ of land and so what you'll see within

1:07:54 ↗ this work

1:07:54 ↗ plan i'll point out the two play area

1:07:57 ↗ projects that are

1:07:58 ↗ that are first you'll note that we talk

1:08:01 ↗ about the environmental review for this

1:08:02 ↗ work

1:08:04 ↗ what we are working on currently and

1:08:06 ↗ have already had some meetings with the

1:08:08 ↗ planning department that'll be

1:08:09 ↗ overseeing that environmental review

1:08:11 ↗ is that's not a single sort of task

1:08:15 ↗ but that's going to be work that

1:08:16 ↗ environmental review work is going to be

1:08:18 ↗ work that we want to

1:08:20 ↗ embed early on in our community

1:08:23 ↗ engagement

1:08:25 ↗ and then obviously as we're going

1:08:26 ↗ through design and permitting so

1:08:29 ↗ just using the two claria projects for

1:08:31 ↗ example as we

1:08:33 ↗ schedule out our neighborhood engagement

1:08:36 ↗ we want to

1:08:37 ↗ have neighboring neighborhood engagement

1:08:40 ↗ both

1:08:40 ↗ addressing sort of the environmental

1:08:44 ↗ realities of the site what's going on

1:08:45 ↗ with the site while we're also

1:08:47 ↗ seeking public input

1:08:50 ↗ on the project itself um as we do a

1:08:53 ↗ later stage of engagement

1:08:55 ↗ uh you'll see where it says further

1:08:56 ↗ public engagement under design and

1:08:58 ↗ permitting that public engagement would

1:09:01 ↗ both be intended to talk about the

1:09:02 ↗ project itself but also accomplish

1:09:05 ↗ the environmental review as we're

1:09:08 ↗ working that through with planning

1:09:10 ↗ so the same would be true that

1:09:14 ↗ environmental review process again would

1:09:16 ↗ be embedded in really all of our

1:09:17 ↗ projects so

1:09:18 ↗ our master planning projects that are

1:09:21 ↗ identified a little farther down

1:09:23 ↗ um on this first page uh where we plan

1:09:26 ↗ on later in the year

1:09:28 ↗ um starting again

1:09:31 ↗ our master planning efforts sort of side

1:09:33 ↗ by side with tibbetts valley park

1:09:36 ↗ veterans memorial park and iscar creek

1:09:38 ↗ corridor

1:09:40 ↗ that engagement work in that orangish

1:09:43 ↗ color

1:09:44 ↗ while we're doing sort of the planning

1:09:47 ↗ and conceptual

1:09:48 ↗ level still that environmental review

1:09:50 ↗ will be part of that

1:09:52 ↗ master planning work as we as you see in

1:09:56 ↗ this schedule we anticipate

1:09:57 ↗ actual implementation or adoption

1:10:00 ↗ completion of that master plan the blue

1:10:02 ↗ color

1:10:03 ↗ um is going to um definitely go into

1:10:05 ↗ 2022.

1:10:07 ↗ um you'll see too with that project

1:10:10 ↗ specifically

1:10:11 ↗ um we um with one park planner on staff

1:10:15 ↗ now the first two quarters of our year

1:10:17 ↗ are really going to be focused on those

1:10:19 ↗ play area projects

1:10:21 ↗ the turf replacement project we were

1:10:23 ↗ just talking about

1:10:25 ↗ the wayfinding and park signage

1:10:28 ↗ continuation of work that started

1:10:30 ↗ last year and then this master planning

1:10:33 ↗ work

1:10:34 ↗ we see picking up late uh second quarter

1:10:36 ↗ or third quarter

1:10:37 ↗ of the year uh and thus going into 2022

1:10:42 ↗ which we also see is beneficial in that

1:10:44 ↗ what

1:10:45 ↗ master plan adoption looks like is going

1:10:47 ↗ to be dependent upon some work that the

1:10:49 ↗ planning department's going on

1:10:51 ↗ uh with what what they call title 18

1:10:53 ↗ title 18

1:10:54 ↗ is a full section of the city code

1:10:56 ↗ that's getting updated

1:10:58 ↗ as that code is getting updated it's

1:11:00 ↗ going to inform us what

1:11:02 ↗ adoption of future master plans look

1:11:04 ↗ like so

1:11:08 ↗ i'll stop there and see maybe if you

1:11:10 ↗ have any any of you have specific

1:11:12 ↗ questions about

1:11:13 ↗ some of these capital projects that i

1:11:16 ↗ can um

1:11:17 ↗ point out or help answer before i

1:11:20 ↗ sort of have some concluding comments

1:11:22 ↗ looks like jen has some added

1:11:24 ↗ feedback as well

1:11:33 ↗ jen you might need to unmute

1:11:43 ↗ still needed you damn you can

1:12:01 ↗ thank you sorry i couldn't find the the

1:12:03 ↗ mute wasn't working

1:12:05 ↗ um and isn't that the term of 2020 and

1:12:08 ↗ mute

1:12:09 ↗ um the just to clarify the environmental

1:12:13 ↗ review

1:12:13 ↗ is necessary only on a level two

1:12:16 ↗ or greater project that has

1:12:19 ↗ environmental impacts if there are no

1:12:21 ↗ environmental impacts um it doesn't need

1:12:24 ↗ to be completed like

1:12:26 ↗ sometimes a street project per se

1:12:28 ↗ wouldn't need to go through that project

1:12:30 ↗ or that process so i just wanted to

1:12:32 ↗ there is a threshold

1:12:34 ↗ level for which that's being implemented

1:12:39 ↗ right and that's all is how it was

1:12:41 ↗ adopted and i think what we're

1:12:42 ↗ how we're approaching is parks realizing

1:12:44 ↗ that our our projects aren't in public

1:12:47 ↗ right away our projects are on

1:12:49 ↗ parcels that we

1:12:53 ↗ really want to set into practice

1:12:56 ↗ demonstrating even as we go into that

1:12:58 ↗ initial public engagement with a

1:12:59 ↗ community or a neighborhood

1:13:01 ↗ is demonstrating and showing that

1:13:03 ↗ environmental checklist and what we

1:13:05 ↗ understand and what we know

1:13:06 ↗ of the site itself and what we're

1:13:08 ↗ intending

1:13:09 ↗ um intending to do and um

1:13:12 ↗ understanding what's happening

1:13:13 ↗ environmentally on the on that property

1:13:15 ↗ or that parcel

1:13:17 ↗ so any questions comments

1:13:20 ↗ so on the anchor on the anchor parks

1:13:23 ↗ jeff

1:13:24 ↗ you know starting into looks like uh

1:13:27 ↗ partly into the second quarter i guess

1:13:31 ↗ is there going to be some public

1:13:32 ↗ engagement uh

1:13:34 ↗ that's anticipated and they're we're

1:13:36 ↗ probably not going to be ready for that

1:13:38 ↗ unless you're going to do it online by

1:13:40 ↗ then is that

1:13:41 ↗ is that what you thought about yeah so

1:13:45 ↗ you know where we identify engagement

1:13:47 ↗ phase two it's really

1:13:48 ↗ you know we're at that point in that

1:13:50 ↗ project of the next phase of public

1:13:52 ↗ engagement uh that's one of the things

1:13:53 ↗ we want to wait and see brad

1:13:55 ↗ right so um where are we at uh

1:13:58 ↗ in terms of can we host those person to

1:14:01 ↗ person or will they need to be virtual

1:14:02 ↗ or some combination thereof depending on

1:14:05 ↗ where we're at

1:14:06 ↗ um with cobit recovery

1:14:13 ↗ uh reuben i see your hand there

1:14:16 ↗ he done moot rare reuben

1:14:22 ↗ okay can you hear me yep there you go

1:14:27 ↗ i had a question on the carbon credit

1:14:28 ↗ program i don't quite understand it but

1:14:31 ↗ how is the money how is money generated

1:14:33 ↗ that

1:14:34 ↗ you get yeah

1:14:39 ↗ so so um i'm i'm not a i'm not a carbon

1:14:43 ↗ expert but i'll try and put this

1:14:45 ↗ succinctly

1:14:46 ↗ so there is an industry there's a market

1:14:48 ↗ now

1:14:49 ↗ um companies are interested in buying

1:14:52 ↗ uh as as they seek to become carbon

1:14:55 ↗ neutral

1:14:56 ↗ they want to purchase

1:15:00 ↗ carbon sequestration so there you know

1:15:02 ↗ as we as a city

1:15:04 ↗ plant thousands of trees every year as

1:15:06 ↗ part of our succession planning

1:15:08 ↗ what we want to pilot and this was a

1:15:10 ↗ discussion we had with council last year

1:15:12 ↗ is what would it look like to apply like

1:15:15 ↗ you know last year we're

1:15:17 ↗ we're planting nearly um 10 000 trees

1:15:20 ↗ about 9 500 trees

1:15:22 ↗ we'd love to take those 900 9500

1:15:26 ↗ trees and work with a non-profit partner

1:15:30 ↗ a group called city forest credits out

1:15:32 ↗ of seattle and offer that

1:15:34 ↗ into the carbon market and there are

1:15:36 ↗ businesses that

1:15:37 ↗ would love to purchase in essence the

1:15:40 ↗ carbon that's going to be gained from

1:15:42 ↗ those 9

1:15:42 ↗ 9 500 trees so it's work that we're

1:15:45 ↗ already doing

1:15:47 ↗ is there a way to receive those funds

1:15:50 ↗ then

1:15:51 ↗ those funds could then help be part of

1:15:54 ↗ of funding our ongoing work with green

1:15:58 ↗ issaquah

1:15:59 ↗ or other urban forest goals

1:16:06 ↗ so the companies are buying credit is

1:16:09 ↗ what they're right

1:16:11 ↗ okay so they would in essence pay us

1:16:15 ↗ over the next 10 15 20 years

1:16:18 ↗ the the carbon that would be

1:16:21 ↗ additionally captured

1:16:22 ↗ in those new trees that we're planting

1:16:27 ↗ okay

1:16:32 ↗ any other questions or comments

1:16:38 ↗ oh danielle you got something

1:16:43 ↗ yeah i just my recollection with the um

1:16:47 ↗ where we were on the master planning

1:16:49 ↗ process um

1:16:51 ↗ was that we were starting to engage with

1:16:54 ↗ um the baseball community in particular

1:16:58 ↗ we have about a deeper conversation with

1:17:00 ↗ tibbetts and veterans memorial

1:17:02 ↗ and i just you know like i i think that

1:17:04 ↗ there's probably room to have some of

1:17:06 ↗ those

1:17:07 ↗ continued some of those conversations

1:17:09 ↗ maybe before

1:17:10 ↗ you know maybe there's not time or

1:17:13 ↗ manpower to do that

1:17:14 ↗ for your engagement plan kind of gets

1:17:17 ↗ full steam

1:17:17 ↗ but it seems like that would be

1:17:19 ↗ beneficial sometimes

1:17:21 ↗ trying to sort of just

1:17:24 ↗ follow up with conversations agreed some

1:17:27 ↗ of the conversations we've initiated

1:17:29 ↗ some of the work

1:17:30 ↗ um in particular the the sub consultant

1:17:34 ↗ who specializes in fields d.a hogan

1:17:37 ↗ and we've done some work in looking at

1:17:40 ↗ how those baseball fields have been

1:17:42 ↗ scheduled over the last number of years

1:17:44 ↗ what the

1:17:44 ↗ anticipated need is um we do

1:17:48 ↗ we do anticipate um hosting um a couple

1:17:51 ↗ of those conversations with the baseball

1:17:52 ↗ groups

1:17:54 ↗ as we and before we head back out into

1:17:56 ↗ engagement

1:17:57 ↗ there's some other work that we're i was

1:17:59 ↗ going to highlight in the director's

1:18:00 ↗ report but i'll highlight now

1:18:02 ↗ there's also some work we're doing at

1:18:04 ↗ tibbetts valley park now in the rainy

1:18:06 ↗ season

1:18:07 ↗ um we wanted to do some initial site

1:18:10 ↗ analysis

1:18:11 ↗ um and so we've done that in terms of

1:18:14 ↗ really

1:18:15 ↗ best understanding the hydrology that's

1:18:18 ↗ happened i think we all know

1:18:20 ↗ where tibbetts valley park is and the

1:18:22 ↗ gorgeous park that it is

1:18:23 ↗ um it deals with a lot of water uh

1:18:26 ↗ throughout

1:18:27 ↗ the years so we've worked with the sub

1:18:30 ↗ consultant herrera our environmental

1:18:32 ↗ consultant to

1:18:33 ↗ dig some wells and give us some analysis

1:18:36 ↗ and further data about

1:18:37 ↗ where and how much water is moving

1:18:40 ↗ through that site so

1:18:42 ↗ that work combined with some of these

1:18:44 ↗ conversations with baseball are just

1:18:45 ↗ going to help us

1:18:46 ↗ become that much more informed when we

1:18:49 ↗ go into this next phase of engagement

1:18:51 ↗ later in the year great

1:18:54 ↗ thanks also can you tell us

1:18:58 ↗ um i can't see i think i'm falling on

1:19:00 ↗ you on the screen here but

1:19:01 ↗ where is that engagement part on the

1:19:04 ↗ calendar

1:19:05 ↗ for the master planning is that like

1:19:07 ↗ august or september or

1:19:12 ↗ acute end of q2 into q3

1:19:15 ↗ sometime to revive that project okay um

1:19:17 ↗ so again we'll just have to kind of wait

1:19:19 ↗ and see where

1:19:31 ↗ anything else on this topic anybody

1:19:33 ↗ comments

1:19:34 ↗ questions

1:19:38 ↗ not seeing any hands hit it on this jeff

1:19:43 ↗ yeah just again thank you our plan is

1:19:46 ↗ uh that this will be posted online

1:19:49 ↗ uh this will be something we'd love to

1:19:50 ↗ bring back to you every quarter

1:19:52 ↗ um we we see this and use this as a a

1:19:55 ↗ working management document for us

1:19:57 ↗ in that things change right

1:20:01 ↗ how are we negotiating covid what can we

1:20:03 ↗ do in terms of engagement how are we

1:20:05 ↗ progressing in terms of these tasks and

1:20:07 ↗ so

1:20:08 ↗ uh just because it becomes a tool for us

1:20:10 ↗ um

1:20:11 ↗ either as work plan items change things

1:20:13 ↗ get added to our docket

1:20:14 ↗ so look for these to just at least

1:20:17 ↗ provide us information

1:20:19 ↗ quarterly and how we're doing

1:20:25 ↗ good thank you for that looks like

1:20:28 ↗ you're up next for

1:20:29 ↗ talking about recovery task force

1:20:33 ↗ all right uh while i kick this off i

1:20:35 ↗ think this will be relatively quick

1:20:37 ↗ um just wanted to to follow up and close

1:20:40 ↗ the loop thank you again for

1:20:42 ↗ uh into last year and some emails we

1:20:44 ↗ sent out

1:20:45 ↗ the recovery task force which is a group

1:20:47 ↗ the mayor had

1:20:49 ↗ created last year really focusing on

1:20:52 ↗ covid recovery and how we're serving

1:20:56 ↗ supporting this community from

1:20:57 ↗ everything from public health

1:20:59 ↗ to now you know vaccination discussion

1:21:02 ↗ uh to how we're utilizing our public

1:21:04 ↗ spaces and and encouraging community to

1:21:06 ↗ still come together

1:21:07 ↗ marlene i know you're serving on that

1:21:09 ↗ committee so thank you for representing

1:21:10 ↗ the park board

1:21:12 ↗ um at the uh recovery task force meeting

1:21:16 ↗ i'm going to share my screen here on the

1:21:18 ↗ 14th of this year

1:21:21 ↗ um

1:21:24 ↗ boards and commissions were invited to

1:21:26 ↗ come and and sort of share

1:21:28 ↗ and express their ideas uh brad and i

1:21:30 ↗ took part in that conversation

1:21:32 ↗ uh thank you again for your feedback we

1:21:35 ↗ were able to have a conversation brad i

1:21:38 ↗ i think it's safe to say that the park

1:21:40 ↗ board related

1:21:42 ↗ public gathering use of public space

1:21:45 ↗ um topics um probably where the most

1:21:48 ↗ commented

1:21:49 ↗ and most uh discussed so again really

1:21:52 ↗ appreciate your creativity what you're

1:21:54 ↗ seeing

1:21:55 ↗ here i just shared this screen

1:21:58 ↗ tomorrow evening at the city council

1:22:00 ↗ study session

1:22:02 ↗ the bulk of the study session is

1:22:05 ↗ a presentation to talk about just

1:22:07 ↗ citywide pandemic recovery but then also

1:22:09 ↗ the recovery task force and some of

1:22:11 ↗ these ideas and opportunities that came

1:22:13 ↗ out

1:22:13 ↗ of that discussion um following that

1:22:17 ↗ meeting on the 14th

1:22:19 ↗ we circled up with the mayor's office

1:22:21 ↗ and with staff to

1:22:22 ↗ to really try and explore what we could

1:22:25 ↗ implement

1:22:26 ↗ of those ideas this is a slide one slide

1:22:29 ↗ that's gonna be part of that

1:22:30 ↗ presentation tomorrow night i wanted to

1:22:32 ↗ share with you

1:22:33 ↗ uh these are opportunities that i'm

1:22:34 ↗ gonna present to the

1:22:36 ↗ the council and get their feedback um

1:22:39 ↗ that came out of those opportunities

1:22:42 ↗ what they are

1:22:43 ↗ is um furthering this idea of installing

1:22:46 ↗ some outdoor fitness stations

1:22:47 ↗ um on a site to be determined we would

1:22:50 ↗ still need to determine that site jen

1:22:52 ↗ fink would lead that effort

1:22:53 ↗ we would work with community members as

1:22:56 ↗ well as

1:22:57 ↗ some professionals in the sports

1:22:59 ↗ medicine field to determine what type of

1:23:01 ↗ equipment

1:23:02 ↗ and where we would locate it we would

1:23:04 ↗ need additional resources of about fifty

1:23:07 ↗ thousand dollars

1:23:08 ↗ to make that happen uh but that was an

1:23:10 ↗ idea that was very well received by the

1:23:12 ↗ recovery task force

1:23:14 ↗ uh this idea of how we might consider

1:23:17 ↗ um multi-use of our tennis courts

1:23:21 ↗ there's some innovative ways that

1:23:23 ↗ pickleball striping is done

1:23:24 ↗ not just on the center net but also

1:23:27 ↗ multiple pickleball courts

1:23:30 ↗ with portable nets that could be added

1:23:34 ↗ we would reach out and work with um our

1:23:36 ↗ pickleball community

1:23:37 ↗ the pickleball folks that use our

1:23:38 ↗ community center that are are

1:23:40 ↗ limited as of now with pandemic but how

1:23:43 ↗ could we encourage that

1:23:44 ↗ more outdoors this idea of

1:23:48 ↗ exploring scavenger hunt ideas um

1:23:51 ↗ working with partners on geocaching and

1:23:53 ↗ other ideas

1:23:54 ↗ april thank you i know this is an idea

1:23:56 ↗ that you supported

1:23:58 ↗ a lot of support from the recovery task

1:24:00 ↗ force on that

1:24:01 ↗ i've asked our recreation team at the

1:24:04 ↗ community center they're going to begin

1:24:05 ↗ exploring if this is something council

1:24:07 ↗ wants us to support

1:24:09 ↗ um they'll be reaching out to you april

1:24:11 ↗ and seeing how we might creatively work

1:24:13 ↗ with

1:24:15 ↗ some of the existing geocaching groups

1:24:17 ↗ and maybe add

1:24:18 ↗ a scavenger hunt idea another idea we're

1:24:22 ↗ going to talk about tomorrow night

1:24:23 ↗ is this concept of what we're calling

1:24:26 ↗ walk and learn tours

1:24:28 ↗ where we would create some temporary

1:24:30 ↗ installations

1:24:31 ↗ of interpretive signs in various areas

1:24:34 ↗ of

1:24:35 ↗ um along our city trail system

1:24:38 ↗ brad i know this is something that you

1:24:40 ↗ were very fond of

1:24:42 ↗ sort of replicating if you haven't see

1:24:44 ↗ if any of you have seen what um

1:24:46 ↗ um has happened at the state park uh

1:24:48 ↗ this month with

1:24:49 ↗ martin luther king um interpretive

1:24:52 ↗ signage

1:24:52 ↗ celebrating mlk day um we would work

1:24:56 ↗ with a couple a number of our partners

1:24:58 ↗ to

1:24:58 ↗ identify content whether it's historical

1:25:01 ↗ society

1:25:04 ↗ library cultural groups

1:25:08 ↗ and set up a series of three or four

1:25:12 ↗ areas again within our within our park

1:25:15 ↗ system amy dukes who's our arts

1:25:17 ↗ coordinator has agreed

1:25:18 ↗ should this be something we proceed with

1:25:20 ↗ to take the lead in that effort

1:25:23 ↗ again so brad any other park board

1:25:25 ↗ members that would love to be part of an

1:25:26 ↗ effort like that

1:25:27 ↗ um stay tuned uh we'll see how the

1:25:30 ↗ conversation goes tomorrow night

1:25:32 ↗ and then another

1:25:35 ↗ opportunity that was really discussed

1:25:36 ↗ and affirmed and

1:25:38 ↗ expressed was our 2021 concert on the

1:25:41 ↗ green

1:25:42 ↗ um series uh really i think confirming

1:25:46 ↗ we already have budget in 2021 for this

1:25:49 ↗ um

1:25:50 ↗ continuing our efforts with our partners

1:25:52 ↗ kiwanis being a huge partner in that

1:25:55 ↗ we very much want to see the show go on

1:25:57 ↗ and so

1:25:58 ↗ it was just really confirmation that

1:25:59 ↗ even if we need to

1:26:02 ↗ modify what those concerts look like we

1:26:04 ↗ still want to do them

1:26:05 ↗ even if they're in a modified fashion

1:26:09 ↗ meaning maybe we have to keep

1:26:12 ↗ crowd size to a certain size if we need

1:26:15 ↗ to manage spacing

1:26:17 ↗ we want to make sure that there's a

1:26:21 ↗ summer concert series done in a safe way

1:26:24 ↗ there's a an additional ask for some

1:26:26 ↗ funding that

1:26:28 ↗ should we need to either spread out or

1:26:30 ↗ add some additional maybe smaller

1:26:32 ↗ concerts

1:26:32 ↗ in in some other areas throughout our

1:26:35 ↗ parks again just as opportunities as

1:26:37 ↗ summer and fall comes

1:26:39 ↗ depending on what's allowable from where

1:26:42 ↗ we are coveted recovery just to

1:26:44 ↗ encourage and foster

1:26:46 ↗ community coming back together and

1:26:48 ↗ celebrating their public spaces so

1:26:50 ↗ i just wanted to share these with you um

1:26:53 ↗ say thank you

1:26:54 ↗ again for your feedback it was really

1:26:56 ↗ good uh discussion with the recovery

1:26:58 ↗ task force

1:26:59 ↗ uh we'll see how conversation goes with

1:27:02 ↗ council

1:27:03 ↗ tomorrow night brad marlene i know you

1:27:05 ↗ were part of that discussion with the

1:27:07 ↗ recovery task force don't know if

1:27:08 ↗ there's anything

1:27:17 ↗ that looks good jeff any questions or

1:27:20 ↗ comments from anyone

1:30:44 ↗ never mind surprise um

1:30:47 ↗ next we have uh tara michaels and uh

1:30:50 ↗ betty roberson they're from the

1:30:51 ↗ quest senior center uh they are like

1:30:53 ↗ librarians

1:30:54 ↗ extraordinaire sort of a real life

1:30:56 ↗ dynamic duo

1:30:58 ↗ um tara and betty have been with at this

1:31:00 ↗ point senior center since uh the city

1:31:02 ↗ took over operations in january of 2017.

1:31:05 ↗ in a nutshell they manage all the senior

1:31:07 ↗ centers books puzzles games

1:31:10 ↗ this includes like organizing labeling

1:31:12 ↗ and shelving paperback

1:31:13 ↗ hard book covers categorizing them by

1:31:16 ↗ mystery adventure romance biographies

1:31:19 ↗ history and other sections of interest

1:31:22 ↗ this also includes uh you know them

1:31:24 ↗ organizing the puzzles and games

1:31:26 ↗ making them easy to find access and use

1:31:29 ↗ um we also create a special puzzle

1:31:31 ↗ program where seniors can take puzzles

1:31:33 ↗ home to complete on their own if

1:31:34 ↗ for some reason come in and out it's a

1:31:36 ↗ little hard we can set them up with

1:31:37 ↗ puzzles to do on their own

1:31:38 ↗ and their own location if that's a if

1:31:40 ↗ that's an issue um under normal

1:31:42 ↗ circumstances you know that it doesn't

1:31:44 ↗ sound like much but under normal

1:31:45 ↗ circumstances the senior center gets and

1:31:47 ↗ receives a lot of

1:31:49 ↗ books puzzles and games to go through

1:31:51 ↗ just normally

1:31:52 ↗ much less now that you know with all the

1:31:54 ↗ covid people had a lot of time to like

1:31:56 ↗ clean up their closets and do some of

1:31:57 ↗ that kind of stuff so

1:31:58 ↗ there was a huge volume um so much so

1:32:01 ↗ that we had to sort of put a stop on it

1:32:02 ↗ and bob pause that

1:32:04 ↗ pause that program for a little bit

1:32:05 ↗ because it would become a lot of stuff

1:32:07 ↗ to come to go through

1:32:09 ↗ and they have spent countless hours

1:32:11 ↗ sorting through and cataloging and

1:32:12 ↗ maintaining

1:32:13 ↗ all the senior centers books puzzles and

1:32:15 ↗ games

1:32:16 ↗ and those that aren't that we don't keep

1:32:19 ↗ we then make sure they get donated so

1:32:21 ↗ they can be used elsewhere

1:32:22 ↗ um yeah tara and betty have helped us

1:32:24 ↗ make the library a welcoming environment

1:32:25 ↗ where seniors can have a comfy place to

1:32:27 ↗ sit and read

1:32:28 ↗ work on a puzzle play a game watch a

1:32:30 ↗ movie or sit and visit with their

1:32:31 ↗ friends

1:32:32 ↗ um and above all this they bring a

1:32:34 ↗ tremendous joy that just uplifts

1:32:36 ↗ everybody they come into contact with so

1:32:38 ↗ you know when we ask them so like hey

1:32:40 ↗ how long do you plan on doing this and

1:32:41 ↗ how long you guys in this

1:32:42 ↗ in this form they said uh yeah we could

1:32:45 ↗ just do this forever

1:32:46 ↗ and they don't plan on ever leaving that

1:32:48 ↗ so

1:32:49 ↗ those are the two people from the senior

1:32:51 ↗ center and i've said as we've been

1:32:53 ↗ allowed to

1:32:54 ↗ we and we've been on this continual

1:32:55 ↗ decision-making process and saw the dial

1:32:57 ↗ we've

1:32:58 ↗ allowed things to happen and then we've

1:32:59 ↗ had to back them off we'd love them

1:33:01 ↗ as we've been allowed to through the

1:33:02 ↗ governor's ordinance and guys so

1:35:39 ↗ so uh we'll go on to reports unless

1:35:42 ↗ there's anything else

1:35:44 ↗ i guess i'm up first we finally changed

1:35:47 ↗ that to give jeff a break

1:35:49 ↗ and i don't really have much so actually

1:35:52 ↗ and what i do have is

1:35:54 ↗ rather gloomy unfortunately i just

1:35:56 ↗ wanted to announce to everybody that

1:35:58 ↗ maybe have not been aware of this that

1:36:00 ↗ um

1:36:02 ↗ chief uh andy de los angeles

1:36:05 ↗ uh from the snoqualmie tribe passed away

1:36:08 ↗ last week

1:36:09 ↗ uh and a very sad affair andy was

1:36:13 ↗ chief andy was just a great leader for

1:36:17 ↗ the tribe

1:36:17 ↗ very inspirational uh he was

1:36:22 ↗ a real strong advocate which enabled the

1:36:25 ↗ tribe to actually

1:36:27 ↗ become federally recognized here

1:36:30 ↗ a few decades ago that was a very long

1:36:34 ↗ fight

1:36:34 ↗ that he spirited and probably one of the

1:36:37 ↗ more significant

1:36:38 ↗ uh aspects of some of the things that he

1:36:42 ↗ provided to the tribe so he's going to

1:36:44 ↗ be greatly missed

1:36:46 ↗ don't have much details beyond that

1:36:48 ↗ right now

1:36:49 ↗ but just wanted to at least let

1:36:51 ↗ everybody know of of his passing and

1:36:54 ↗ and uh and everybody keep them in our

1:36:57 ↗ thoughts

1:36:58 ↗ so that's actually all i had uh so jeff

1:37:02 ↗ you're up for anything you'd like to add

1:37:04 ↗ as a director's report

1:37:06 ↗ yeah just two quick items to add

1:37:09 ↗ additional lots going on

1:37:10 ↗ obviously as we turn the calendar

1:37:14 ↗ i mentioned i think last

1:37:17 ↗ meeting when a budget was adopted the 21

1:37:20 ↗ budget

1:37:21 ↗ includes the addition of a park

1:37:23 ↗ operations manager

1:37:25 ↗ this is a position that the city hasn't

1:37:29 ↗ had for

1:37:29 ↗ a number of years for the last dozen

1:37:32 ↗ years

1:37:33 ↗ we've had one manager overseeing all of

1:37:36 ↗ our facilities maintenance

1:37:37 ↗ so all of our building maintenance and

1:37:39 ↗ all of our park maintenance

1:37:40 ↗ um with the addition of this park

1:37:42 ↗ operations manager position it's

1:37:44 ↗ it's a real a real plus for us that

1:37:46 ↗ position's been posted

1:37:48 ↗ it closed over the weekend on sunday

1:37:53 ↗ we had a really strong pool of

1:37:55 ↗ candidates as i'm looking at the initial

1:37:57 ↗ review so

1:37:58 ↗ i look forward to that screening process

1:38:01 ↗ happening

1:38:02 ↗ and i'm having that position on board

1:38:04 ↗ ideally

1:38:05 ↗ uh before we um really i'd love to have

1:38:09 ↗ someone on board in early march

1:38:11 ↗ as we head into the the spring growing

1:38:12 ↗ season so

1:38:14 ↗ um stay tuned for that um

1:38:17 ↗ and then uh last item i wanted to update

1:38:19 ↗ on um

1:38:21 ↗ uh as we um have looked at youth

1:38:24 ↗ basketball

1:38:25 ↗ um i think that is a clear example of

1:38:30 ↗ our recreation programs that have been

1:38:31 ↗ impacted by kovid

1:38:34 ↗ brian and i have been working closely

1:38:35 ↗ with jared our athletic supervisor

1:38:39 ↗ in crafting a program that

1:38:42 ↗ we would we can offer um

1:38:46 ↗ through covid and through uh

1:38:50 ↗ phasing we have if any of you are aware

1:38:54 ↗ i believe you are

1:38:55 ↗ been marketing youth basketball program

1:38:59 ↗ that's going to look a little bit

1:39:00 ↗ different than a league this isn't going

1:39:01 ↗ to be a full-blown

1:39:03 ↗ league as it's historically looked we've

1:39:06 ↗ had a lot of community interest

1:39:08 ↗ we're over 500 participants who have

1:39:10 ↗ signed up for that

1:39:12 ↗ we've had some really good discussions

1:39:14 ↗ with the school district

1:39:15 ↗ and how we can deliver this program in a

1:39:18 ↗ really

1:39:19 ↗ safe uh way the goal

1:39:22 ↗ is that these participants would be put

1:39:25 ↗ into

1:39:26 ↗ pods of 15 or 20 players uh that would

1:39:30 ↗ then

1:39:30 ↗ be coached and really play inner squad

1:39:33 ↗ games within that pod

1:39:35 ↗ um so again just an effort to be really

1:39:38 ↗ creative really safe

1:39:40 ↗ but to allow boys and girls in this

1:39:43 ↗ community to have

1:39:45 ↗ an option for some for some recreation

1:39:48 ↗ where we stand right now as we are in

1:39:51 ↗ um waiting for um transition of

1:39:55 ↗ king county to go to phase two should we

1:39:58 ↗ go into phase two

1:39:59 ↗ uh this would be a program that would be

1:40:02 ↗ allowed well within those

1:40:04 ↗ those phase two uh parameters so

1:40:07 ↗ again just real hats off to our

1:40:10 ↗ recreation team

1:40:11 ↗ as the department really we're trying to

1:40:13 ↗ strike that balance between being really

1:40:15 ↗ really safe

1:40:17 ↗ but also offering opportunities for

1:40:21 ↗ our community young and old to to

1:40:23 ↗ recreate so

1:40:26 ↗ we'll see what we'll see what happens in

1:40:27 ↗ the coming in the coming weeks

1:40:30 ↗ and jeremy you got a question about that

1:40:32 ↗ yeah i was just wondering if you've

1:40:34 ↗ received any feedback from parents or

1:40:36 ↗ anything after all those emails went out

1:40:37 ↗ about

1:40:38 ↗ uh how they're how you're doing the

1:40:40 ↗ basketball with the pods and stuff

1:40:42 ↗ i i coach in i've been coaching for the

1:40:45 ↗ youth basketball as well i

1:40:46 ↗ just thought it was kind of interesting

1:40:47 ↗ i'm not quite sure how it's going to

1:40:49 ↗ work

1:40:50 ↗ yeah yeah it's going to be different um

1:40:52 ↗ but i'd say it's been overwhelmingly

1:40:54 ↗ positive

1:40:55 ↗ um given that the number of

1:40:57 ↗ registrations that that we've

1:40:58 ↗ seen um in terms of community interested

1:41:03 ↗ i think there's a general understanding

1:41:04 ↗ that it it

1:41:06 ↗ it's better than nothing we would not be

1:41:08 ↗ able to

1:41:09 ↗ offer a league that looks like um it

1:41:12 ↗ traditionally

1:41:13 ↗ traditionally looks um in 2021

1:41:16 ↗ brian i don't know if you have anything

1:41:18 ↗ to add or what you've heard in general

1:41:19 ↗ from

1:41:20 ↗ from jared um coaches and parents yeah

1:41:23 ↗ no jeremy great question because this

1:41:25 ↗ year is just looking unique in the sense

1:41:27 ↗ of

1:41:27 ↗ in order for us to meet the pods you

1:41:29 ↗ know making like a larger team of people

1:41:31 ↗ so they can enter

1:41:32 ↗ scrimmage and play amongst that and keep

1:41:34 ↗ that pod contained

1:41:35 ↗ is going to be a different look and feel

1:41:36 ↗ this year but it is what fits within the

1:41:38 ↗ model of what we've been given

1:41:40 ↗ and like jeff mentioned it's really

1:41:42 ↗ tough because we just can't have the

1:41:43 ↗ cross team play

1:41:45 ↗ right now with basketballs not just not

1:41:47 ↗ on the on the list of approvals right

1:41:49 ↗ now

1:41:50 ↗ so stay tuned yeah we were still

1:41:53 ↗ hoping that we can we can deliver it but

1:41:56 ↗ it will be dependent upon public health

1:41:58 ↗ danielle i just want to say

1:42:01 ↗ um or add that i think anything that we

1:42:04 ↗ can do

1:42:04 ↗ as a community to give opportunities for

1:42:06 ↗ kids to have something to do

1:42:09 ↗ you know like as a parent i don't really

1:42:11 ↗ care if it's

1:42:12 ↗ you know if it's if i may expect it to

1:42:15 ↗ look different and be different

1:42:17 ↗ um but kids just need um

1:42:20 ↗ need something right and they need

1:42:22 ↗ something to look forward to and they

1:42:23 ↗ need to know that there's

1:42:25 ↗ you know that they're gonna get out of

1:42:26 ↗ this and part of that is just by doing

1:42:28 ↗ more activities so

1:42:29 ↗ thank you for being creative and and

1:42:31 ↗ flexible

1:42:32 ↗ yeah appreciate that those comments and

1:42:35 ↗ appreciate again the district's been

1:42:36 ↗ very supportive

1:42:38 ↗ we can't do this without some access to

1:42:39 ↗ schools um

1:42:41 ↗ appreciate mayor paulie and and council

1:42:43 ↗ to really being

1:42:44 ↗ supportive of us getting creative um and

1:42:47 ↗ finding that mix of safe healthy but

1:42:50 ↗ also part of safe and healthy is letting

1:42:52 ↗ letting kids recreate

1:42:56 ↗ hey jeff any movement at all in the park

1:42:59 ↗ ranger position

1:43:02 ↗ park ranger position another position

1:43:04 ↗ that was uh approved in the 21 budget

1:43:06 ↗ yes in fact i was just talking to human

1:43:08 ↗ resources this afternoon

1:43:10 ↗ a job description is nearly final we

1:43:13 ↗ hope to have that

1:43:14 ↗ position posted um end of this week

1:43:18 ↗ again with a similar goal of having that

1:43:20 ↗ position filled

1:43:21 ↗ um as we head into spring so lots lots

1:43:24 ↗ going on

1:43:25 ↗ in january 2021.

1:43:32 ↗ anything else edited jeff i think that's

1:43:35 ↗ enough

1:43:35 ↗ thanks okay so ryan you have something

1:43:40 ↗ to share

1:43:41 ↗ to us uh from the youth board i do

1:43:44 ↗ well thank you all for having me back

1:43:45 ↗ again tonight i have

1:43:47 ↗ learned a lot about turf and all sorts

1:43:50 ↗ of other things that

1:43:51 ↗ i will report back to the advisory board

1:43:53 ↗ tomorrow during our meeting we have met

1:43:55 ↗ i believe three times since uh the last

1:43:58 ↗ parks board meeting

1:43:59 ↗ so i'll just go through what we did at

1:44:00 ↗ each of those meetings um

1:44:03 ↗ the first one we met with a couple other

1:44:04 ↗ youth leadership groups in the area with

1:44:06 ↗ the highlands youth board

1:44:07 ↗ and some others and we just had a

1:44:09 ↗ motivational speaker who came and talked

1:44:11 ↗ about

1:44:12 ↗ just effective leadership and different

1:44:13 ↗ strategies so that was really great

1:44:16 ↗ our second meeting in december we had

1:44:18 ↗ which is sort of a holiday party

1:44:20 ↗ usually we have a white elephant gift

1:44:21 ↗ exchange which we obviously couldn't

1:44:23 ↗ really do over

1:44:24 ↗ zoom but we played holiday jeopardy and

1:44:26 ↗ some other games

1:44:27 ↗ um and then at our last meeting earlier

1:44:30 ↗ this month

1:44:31 ↗ we basically spent the entire meeting

1:44:33 ↗ brainstorming various ideas

1:44:35 ↗ for the recovery task force uh myself

1:44:37 ↗ and some other members on the leadership

1:44:39 ↗ team went and presented

1:44:40 ↗ the ideas that the board came up with

1:44:42 ↗ but that was just a really good time of

1:44:44 ↗ brainstorming we broke up into breakout

1:44:46 ↗ breakout rooms on zoom um and that's

1:44:48 ↗ what we were doing at our last meeting

1:44:51 ↗ in terms of events the first youth

1:44:53 ↗ advisory board event of the school year

1:44:54 ↗ happened

1:44:55 ↗ in december uh one group led like it was

1:44:58 ↗ a winter crafts sort of

1:44:59 ↗ class i think it went pretty well from

1:45:03 ↗ um and moving forward a lot of our

1:45:05 ↗ groups are getting ready to hold events

1:45:07 ↗ uh march late march and into april

1:45:10 ↗ we're really starting to get uh a lot of

1:45:13 ↗ work done with our groups now that we're

1:45:15 ↗ done with our

1:45:16 ↗ we sort of reorganized ourselves at the

1:45:17 ↗ beginning of the school year and so now

1:45:19 ↗ that we've really figured out our

1:45:20 ↗ project groups and that sort of thing

1:45:22 ↗ uh groups are really getting ready to

1:45:23 ↗ start having events in the spring
