I l5 trees will be distributed and a proclamation forArbor Day will take place October 21,2025 (Planting Day). 2. Ediz Hook Erosion Control: Ediz Hook Erosion Control has been a joint project with the City of Port Angeles and the Army Corp of Engineers. Every seven to eleven years this project arises to mitigate erosion on the outer borders of the Hook. Director Delikat noted the positive attributions of Us Congressman Derek Kilmer advocating for the Army Corp of Engineers to fully fund this project. So, going forward the City no longer is required to fund this work. The schedule for implementing the erosion control is still to be determined. 3. Cal Ripken State Tournament: Director Delikat highlighted the exemplary outcome of the Cal Ripken State Tournament hosted for the first time in 20 years. The incredible efforts of David Melnick's leadership and the Board of Directors for North Olympic Baseball and Softball even led to a financial contribution of $10,000 towards the Parks and Recreation Department for their investment preparing the fields and facilities for participating teams. There were 2,000 people who visited the City of Port Angeles during the toumament including34l players and 31 teams for the four-day event. Robert Merritt, previous Parks Commissioner and Parks employee, was recognized by Director Delikat as his l3-year age group team with North Olympic Baseball and Softball won the State Toumament followed by Regionals in Montana and a seat in the World Series in Florida. 4. Parks Seasonals: Director Delikat acknowledged the successes of the incredible Seasonal Laborer employees this year. Previously, the Parks Department struggled post- covid as usually 1 4- I 8 Seasonal employees would be hired vs seven in 2022 and six in 2023. However, increased pay encouraged a greater applicant pool and produced a strong, impressive crew in 2024 and especially, 2025 as an outcome. Director Delikat noted some of the parks, including 9/11 Memorial particularly, look exemplary and their attention to detail shows. The Parks Laborer Seasonal Season is coming to an end but a sendoffBBQ for them and Clerk Wimberly's final day with the City will be following next week. 5. City Comp Plan: The City Comp Plan exemplifies the communify vision of the City of Port Angeles for the next 20 years. The Comp Plan is imperative to the Parks and Recreation Department as it shapes the department's goals, grant opportunities, and assesses quantitative information respective to parks and facilities. Director Delikat Page2 of 5 PARKS & RECREATION DTPARIMENI highlighted the core focuses of the City's Comp Plan and how it impacts the directives of the City of PortAngeles moving forward. There will be a work session at the upcoming City Council meeting Tuesday, 9123125 followed by the Planning Commission Public Hearing in November 2025 and City Council approval in December 2025. 6. Day of Play: Day of Play is a communal event acknowledging July as Parks and Recreation Month. Facility Coordinator, Carter Droz encouraged the event to resurface post-covid. Droz has done an incredible job providing an invaluable resource supporting participating organizations that encourage children to recreate and play in our community. 7. HVAC Upgrades: z. City Hall: $75,000 was awarded to the Parks and Recreation Department for an Energy Grade Audit Report. This is helpful asby 2027, reports must be submitted to the State regarding Washington State Clean Building Standards for appropriate upgrades. b. Senior Center: The HVAC and solar portion of the project is complete. However, installation of the solar battery was put on hold due to delays regarding shipping from China. However, the contractor will be moving forward with the installation shortly. c. Fire Hall: A new roof for the fire hall was installed and completed. HVAC upgrades along with solar and battery installation will likely follow in Quarter 1 of the upcoming fiscal year,2026. 8. National Night Out: The PortAngeles Police Department wanted to facilitate National Night Out locally as it's a nation-wide event for community members to interact with law enforcement. The new scoreboard played a movie for the public for the first time and was well attended. Student Representative Garcelon mentioned her high school Key Club volunteered their efforts for the event. 9. City Pier Ediz Hook and Float Protection Removal: In years past, there was pressure to remove the floats later in the year. However, easterly winds and adverse weather conditions unfortunately damaged them. Going forward, there has been a joint compromise with local fishermen. So, the Ediz Hook floats will be removed 1011512025 with the City Pier floats removed 09/19-0912612025 with consideration of local fishing seasons. As for reinstallation, the Ediz Hook floats will be contingent on the fishing season whereas, the City Pier floats will be reinstalled 0512212026. Page 3 of5 PARKS & RECIEAIION DEPARIMENI 10. Waterfront Tfial Annual Maintenance: Maintenance on the Olympic Discovery Trail Waterfront will take place 09/22 through 0912612025. This is to facilitate brushing and ditching mitigating debris and removing water along the trailway in the winter months. The previous year, all culverts were found improving waterflow fuither assisting water on the trail. 11. Locomotive#4 Project Update: Director Delikat acknowledged the Restore the 4! Rayonier Locomotive project has made great progress. All permits associated with the project have been acquired. Director Delikat has been working with Public Works and Utilities for the Bid Package for restoration. The Restore the 4 Locomotive Committee is moving forward with the shelter and coordinating with manufacturers for steel. The Locomotive Committee is still fundraising, and the Groundbreaking Ceremony is nearing. Director Delikat also mentioned the roof of the train will be installed after the painting of the Locomotive and restoration occurs. Commissioner Hilory inquired about fundraising. Director Delikat acknowledged the $100,000 contribution and the project being roughly 80% funded. The website information was also relayed to the Commission for further details. 12. Shane Park Tennis Courts:_The tennis courts will be removed along with some mitigation work in the woods. It has been intentional to wait until the fall for soiling and seeding the area as there's no other way to naturally irrigate the location. Director Delikat will be meeting with the Police Chief to secure an area for the emergency pod to fence it in with potential wrapping. 13. Laurel Street Stairs:_The Laurel Street Stairs is a joint project with Public Works and Utilities. The Laurel Street Stairs are allocated as a transportation project. However, federal grants have been limited. So, that has been a challenge. Design options for moving forward with the stair upgrade will be presented to the Parks Commission in November for a recommendation to City Council in December 2025. The stairs was initial a project proposed by Elevate PA before they merged with the Port Angeles Waterfront District which Parks Manger, Tim Tucker previously lead.
