The Les Gove Community Campus bid came in $750,000 under budget. A street will connect the White
River Valley Museum to Auburn Youth Resources. The entrance to the library may be moved 30'to the
north to give a marketplace feel. We must keep the same amount of parking spots, will add an ADA
ramp. We are considering sidewalks on H St SE so citizens can walk or bicycle from Auburn High School
to the Campus. Lighting will be added throughout the Les Gove Community Campus. (Faber)
Green River Park Property at the base of Lea Hill has been transferred to the City from King County and
Washington State as of last week. We will be cleaning up the area and putting together a long range
plan. (Faber)
Deferred Maintenance Study— Bob Droll (Landscape Architect) is involved in completing the study which
includes organizing & prioritizing parks updates for the Parks Plan update. This plan gives us the ability
to apply for various grants. The deadline is early October for the draft, review with Park Board then on
to Ciry Council meeting in November. (Kelly)
Summer camp numbers were up from last year, the climbing wall was very busy. Teen Trip Thing and
Movin'On Up sold out nearly every week. Daycamp and Sports Camp numbers were strong. We have
been integrating special needs kids into summer camps. One or two days per week will be with special
needs kids and three days will be with non-special kids only. Summer camps are fun, active and fast
paced. (Faber)
Vegetation management is underway at Cedar Lanes Park. We are removing understory so homeless
folks can no longer hide out. There are drug houses in that area contributing to the problem. (Kelly)
West Hill Lake —A volunteer group may begin to clean up understory at West Hill Lake property. Will
need parking to access from west side.
