DIRECTOR’S REPORT:
1. Capital Facilities Plan: Director Delikat discussed the 2020 CFP, including funded, newly added projects, and non‐funded
projects.
2. Departmental Updates:
a) Park Shop Building: City Council approved the purchase of the new Park Shop Building on June 27, 2019. The new
building was relocated to the Port for storage on August 15, 2019. After receiving an additional $83,247 in
insurance, The City was able to pay back the amount borrowed from the General Funds Reserve ($37,000). The
City will put the remaining $46,000 towards the demolition of the original building this winter.
b) 2019 Day of Play: Director Delikat discussed the various activities that occurred during this year’s Day of Play. The
event was a success due to its partners and the implementation of “passports” and prizes.
c) Generation II Dream Playground Foundation: The conceptual design for the Generation II Dream Playground was
unveiled in June, after the DPF and playground designer met with the local community to gather design ideas.
Funding is needed, as the pour‐in‐play surfacing will cost approximately $250,000. The DPF is currently working
with the designer to find new ways to reduce costs.
d) Veteran’s Memorial Park: The fence project is nearly complete. Lighting was recently installed, and security
cameras will be installed in December.
e) Park Shop Building & PW&U:. To protect the new Park Shop Building and Public Works & Utilities’ sub‐station
from future storm damage, an estimated 62 trees will need to be removed. Director Delikat will discuss this matter
further as new details emerge.
f) Boat House Move: The Olympic Rowing club has informed the City that the Boat House move, originally scheduled
for August 2019, has been delayed until further notice due to scheduling conflicts.
g) Nature School: The newly founded Nature School, being held at the Loomis, is excited to have its first 4 students
and hopes to grow in the future.
h) Stages: The Parks & Recreation Department recently built a new stage for the Fine Arts Center’s Shakespeare In
the Woods Program and rebuilt the failed stage at City Pier.
i) Erickson Fence Repairs: After receiving three bids, the fence at the Erickson Playfield Tennis Court was repaired.
j) Parks Sign Replacement II: The Parks & Recreation Department has completed the second phase of a three‐phase
sign replacement program. Over the next two years, the department would like to focus on revamping smaller
parks; making City parks feel fresh and new.
k) Tables and Chairs: The tables and chairs requested by Mayor Bruch were deployed to the Fine Arts Center, the City
Hall Lobby, the Gateway, and the downtown fountain. These will be stored inside later this fall throughout the
winter season.

m) Summer/Fall: Director Delikat discussed Parks & Recreation Summer/Fall season events, accomplishments and
undertakings.
n) Tree Removal: The City received a request from the Public to remove hazardous trees along the Olympic Discovery
Trail. Director Delikat approved the removal after the Staff Arborist deemed the trees to be an immediate hazard.
The project begins September 23, 2019 and will cost $6,000.
o) Lodging Tax: The City will be applying for lodging tax funds for the following projects: the Dream Playground;
yearly basketball, softball and baseball tournaments; and the 24‐Hour Restroom Pilot Project. Director Delikat will
provide the Commission with updates in October.
3. Committee Discussion‐ Director Delikat encouraged the Commissioners to serve on other local committees/boards. This
opportunity will allow the Parks Commission to be more informed and involved with events taking place within the local
community relating to Parks, Recreation & Beautification.
