SUPERINTENDENT WILLIAMS, PLEASE

>> OKAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE
WILL ATTEMPT TO MOVE THROUGH
THIS EXPEDITIOUSLY. IT'S
POSSIBLE. I DO WANT TO START OU
BY RECOGNIZING AND APPRECIATING
THE AMOUNT OF TIME AND ENERGY
YOU AS COUNCILMEMBERS ACTING I
YOUR CAPACITY AS THE PARK
DISTRICT GOVERNING BODY PUT
INTO THIS EFFORT. SO THANK YOU
FOR THAT. THERE'S A LOT OF
HEARTFELT APPRECIATION FOR HOW
WE'VE ENDED UP ACROSS THE
DEPARTMENT. AS YOU ARE AWARE,
MOST OF THE CHANGES TO THE PAR
BUDGET HAVE RELATED TO THE CYCL
TO PLAN , WHICH YOU AND YOUR
CAPACITY AS GOVERNING BOARD
APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER, WITH
SEVERAL AMENDMENTS. THIS
REPRESENTS A HISTORIC INVESTMEN
IN PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICE
AND WE GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR
SUPPORT AND EFFORT TO HELP
ENSURE THE DEPARTMENT FULFILLS
ITS MISSION AND PROVIDES
WELCOMING AND SAFE OPPORTUNITIE
TO PLAY, LEARN, CONTEMPLATE, AN
BUILD COMMUNITY. WE'VE COVERED
THE CHANGES IN DETAIL IN
PREVIOUS PRESENTATIONS AND
DISCUSSIONS, SO WE'LL QUICKLY
RECAP WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE
2020 PARK DISTRICT BUDGET. NEXT
SLIDE. SO WHAT THIS IS SHOWING
HERE, I THINK THE MAIN POINT IS
OUR COMBINED PROPOSED OPERATIN
AND CAPITAL BUDGET NEXT YEAR
WILL BE ABOUT $335 MILLION
WITH OVER TWO THIRDS OF THAT
COMING FROM THE PARK DISTRICT
AND GENERAL FUND. THERE ARE
SEVERAL OTHER FUND SOURCES THAT
MAKE UP THE PARK DISTRICT BUDGE
. THE REST OF THE BUDGET IS
SUPPORTED BY SMALLER FUNDING
SOURCES LIKE THE SUITE AND
BEVERAGE TAX AND KING COUNTY
LEVY SOURCES AMONG OTHERS. NEX
SLIDE HERE. OKAY, THIS
COMPLICATED SLIDE IS BASICALLY
ATTEMPTING TO HIGHLIGHT THE
PARK DISTRICT FINANCIAL PLAN ,
PARTICULARLY OUR OPERATING
BUDGET . THESE NEXT TWO SLIDES
REFLECTS THE 2023 THROUGH 2028
PARK DISTRICT FINANCIAL PLAN
THAT YOU ADOPTED ON SEPTEMBER
27th. THE RESOLUTIONS , TRACY
WILL PRESENT LATER AT THE END O
THE SLIDE DECK, ALIGNED WITH A
2023 ADOPTED COLUMN TOTALING
ABOUT $118 MILLION IN REVENUES
NEXT YEAR, WHICH REVIVED FOR
ABOUT $67 MILLION FOR PROGRAMS
AND OPERATIONS, AND ABOUT $48
MILLION FOR CAPITAL PROGRAMS AN
PROJECTS. THE MAYOR'S PROPOSED
PACKAGE OF CYCLE TWO INVESTMENT
THAT TOTALED ABOUT $150 MILLION
IN 2023 , TO WHICH YOU MODIFIED
WITH AMENDMENTS TOTALING BOUT
$3.7 MILLION BETWEEN 2023,
HIGHLIGHT, HIGHLIGHTS OF THE
FINAL PROPOSED SLATE OF
INVESTMENTS INCLUDE THAT
CONTINUATION OF CYCLE ONE
SERVICES , AGAIN, THIS AMOUNTS
TO ABOUT $58 MILLION THAT WILL
CONTINUE IN 2023, AND THE NEW
AND EXPANDED PROGRAMS MAKE UP
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS THAT
BALANCE OUT THE BALANCE OF
THAT. THE NEXT SLIDE IS A
FOCUS ON OUR CAPITAL SPENDING,
SO SIMILAR TO THE OPERATING
SLIDE , THE SLIDE IS SHOWING TH
FIRST YEAR OF CAPITAL SPENDING
WHICH YOU APPROVED BACK IN
SEPTEMBER, WILL TOTAL $48
MILLION IN THAT FIRST YEAR.
CYCLE TWO INCLUDES SIGNIFICANT
INVESTMENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT
OF NEW PARK , NEW PARKS, AND TH
RENOVATION OF , AND RENEWAL OF,
RECREATION FACILITIES. THIS
INCLUDES COMMUNITY CENTERS.
AGAIN, THE RESOLUTIONS WILL BE
PRESENTED AT THE END OF THE
SLIDE DECK, WHERE TRACY WILL
WALK THROUGH THE '23, THE 2023
ADOPTED CAPITAL INVESTMENTS THA
YOU SEE HERE . NEXT SLIDE. SO
AS WE LOOK AHEAD , WE'RE GOING
TO COME BACK NEXT YEAR , WE'LL
BE FOCUSING ON PERFORMANCE
MANAGEMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY
FOR ALL OF THE INVESTMENTS PER
RESOLUTION 51 . WE'LL BE COMING
BACK TO YOU IN EARLY APRIL
AFTER ENGAGING THE BOARD OF PAR
AND RECREATION COMMISSIONERS AN
THE MAYOR TO HAVE A DISCUSSION
ABOUT WHAT OUR PERFORMANCE
MANAGEMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY
STRATEGY WILL LOOK LIKE GOING
FORWARD. AND THEN WE'LL BE DOIN
A MIDYEAR UPDATE IN JUNE OF NEX
YEAR, WHERE WE'LL ALSO BE
PROVIDING YOU WITH A 2022 ANNUA
PARK DISTRICT REPORT . SO WE'LL
REPORT OUT THIS YEAR'S
PROGRESS. SO I'LL PAUSE RIGHT
THERE. I WENT THROUGH THAT
REALLY QUICKLY. BUT WOULD LIKE
TO PAUSE TO SEE IF THERE ARE
QUESTIONS, AND IF NOT, WE'LL
HAND IT OVER TO TRACY.

THE UNDERLYING PRESENTATION FOR
SUPERINTENDENT WILLIAMS OR OTHE
PANELISTS? COUNCILMEMBER

RELATING TO CLEAN CITY
INITIATIVE AND THE SEATTLE PARK
DEPARTMENT BUDGET IN THE
GENERAL FUND PROPOSALS, AND
SORT OF OTHER FUND SOURCES. AND
, YOU KNOW, REVIEWING THE
RESOLUTION WAS, WAS FAMILIAR A
A RESULT, AND I THINK THAT
MIGHT'VE BEEN THE CASE FOR
SEVERAL COLLEAGUES. THAT WAS
REALLY ABOVE AND BEYOND, AND NO
SOMETHING THE EXECUTIVE NEEDED
TO DO THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL. SO
DO COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY QUESTION
FOR TRACY? AND IF NOT , ANY
COMMENTS ON THE UNDERLYING
LEGISLATION? BOARD MEMBER
PEDERSEN.
>> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT LEWIS.
FOR CENTRAL STAFF , I GUESS TH
QUESTION IS, I'D VOTED AGAINST
THE SIX YEAR PLAN, MAINLY DUE T
THE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE. SO T
BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT VOTE,
I'M PRESUMING I WOULD NEED TO
VOTE NO ON 52, 53, AND 54. DOES
