PRSRT STD US POSTAGE Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District 7666 NE High School Rd Bainbridge Island, WA 98110 PAID ECRWSS Postal Customer Park Bond on February 10th Ballot The Park District is proposing a $6.2 million dollar bond issue to fund the purchase of approximately 23 acres in the Winslow area from the Sakai family. The former farm property sits across Madison Avenue from the Aquatic Center and Ordway School and extends all the way to Highway 305. There is a 2.2 acre lake in the lower part of the property. The bond measure will require a 60% (supermajority) voter approval to enable this purchase. Why has the Park Board decided to purchase this land? The District’s Comprehensive Plan and a report from the Winslow Parks Task Force indicate a shortage of park land in the Winslow area. The Park Board has noted that the Sakai property purchase will provide an opportunity to accommodate a variety of future passive and active recreational uses desired by the community as expressed in surveys and public meetings. Nature trails, trail connections including the Sound to Olympics Trail, sports fields and courts, and indoor community recreation facilities are a few options to be considered. Why Now? This time-sensitive opportunity only recently became available to the Park District. The Park Board acknowledges that recent high density developments have resulted in this being the last large parcel of undeveloped land in the area. If the District is not able to secure funds for the purchase, the property may also go for high density development, thus limiting the potential for a future park of this size in Winslow. How was the purchase price determined? The appraisal prepared by Gibbons & Riely PLLC established the agreed-to purchase price for the property. How much more will this cost me in property taxes? Rates will not go up from last year. The projected cost will be 8 cents per $1,000 assessed value, approximately $36 per year for a $450,000 home. However, low interest rates combined with retirement of the Grand Forest and Gazzam Lake bonds in 2014 and retirement of the Aquatic Center bonds in 2018 have allowed the proposed bonds to be structured so tax payers would see no net increase in their payments for park bonds. What does the Park District plan to do with the property? The zoning and terrain indicate that the property will accommodate a wide variety of passive and active uses from nature trails to recreation facilities. Although the District has been approached with ideas from a number of community interest groups, the Board has committed to no specific plan for the future park site. The Park District intends to host a public planning process following the purchase to plan the future park with the community. Seattle, WA Permit No. 12723 Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District 50 Celebrating years of service Winter/Spring 2015 Programs Registration begins Januar y 6, 10:00am See registration info on Page 63 Ta b l e o f C o n t e n t s o n P a g e 4 January 2015 Dear Bainbridge Island Residents: In 2015, the Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District will be celebrating 50 years of service to our community. On behalf of the District, I would like to invite you to celebrate this momentous occasion with us. The anniversary celebration will be on-going throughout the year and will offer the community a variety of ways to celebrate and get to know its Park District better. The local residents who created the Park District in 1965 had a vision of a park and recreation district that would initially offer ball fields and a swimming pool and then expand to parks and recreational programs. With the support of the community we now have 41 parks and properties, 1479 acres of park land, and we offer recreational programs for all ages ranging from aquatics and sports to cultural arts and outdoor programs. With an incredible staff, dedicated board members and enthusiastic volunteers, we have taken the founders’ vision and made it a reality over the last 50 years. During this time, we have had the opportunity to work with many great partners in the acquisition of park land that has come to us over the years through a variety of means. Through partnerships, donations, local fundraising, grants, purchases, and bond measures, the Park District has acquired properties that have become the exceptional parks, trails and open space you enjoy today. Mark your calendars for August 29, when we plan a big Birthday Bash at Battle Point Park with hands-on children’s activities, music, food and a gigantic birthday cake. Throughout the year we will be offering a variety of activities including a fifty-cent pool party, volunteer recruitment and recognition programs, special classes and events, a passport program where you will be awarded for the number of parks you visit or programs you attend, and much more. We want to thank you for supporting our efforts to offer exceptional parks and recreation programs to the community and look forward to a wonderful year of celebration! The Park Board, staff and I are committed to continuing the vision of our founders from 50 years ago. e Terry Land Warmly, Terry Lande Executive Director Terry a nd Fam Page 2 ily Celebrating 50 years! Calling All Volunteers We love Volunteers! The Park District is celebrating 50 year of service to our community. We have a variety of activities planned throughout the year. Volunteers have been an important element to the success of the district throughout these past fifty years. We are looking for volunteers to assist in all aspects of the district. We will be offering a program that recognizes those volunteers who give fifty hours of volunteer service to the District. You can select the area in which you would like to volunteer. We will monitor those hours and reward you with a gift when you have completed your fifty hours. Your name will then be placed in a drawing for some great prizes at our big Birthday Bash on August 29. Email Lori Mejia at lorim@biparks.org to sign up to start your volunteer hours in January. If you want to volunteer and are not sure what the best fit for you would be, we would be happy to talk with you about the different opportunities. Volunteer work is so rewarding and seeing the final product of your hard work benefiting your community is unbeatable! Passport to Fun and Adventure As we celebrate 50 years of service to our community we have a great way for you to have fun and experience new adventures on Bainbridge Island. How many parks have you been to? How many trails have you walked? How many programs have you attended? We have a challenge for you. The Passport program will recognize those residents that attend programs, walk our trails and visit our parks fifty times throughout the year. You can pick up your passport at the Strawberry Hill office starting January 2, 2015. Every time you attend a program, walk a trail or visit a park you will get your passport stamped. Once you hit fifty activities you will be rewarded with a prize. All names of those who have completed the 50 Passport program will go into a drawing for some wonderful prizes that will be given away at our big Birthday Bash on August 29. When you pick up your passport it will include instructions on how to achieve your 50 activities. Start your New Year by picking up your passport and let the fun and adventure begin!
