IV. Correspondence/PublicInput
V. Old Business
VI. New Business
Pete Lymberis and Alex Wilford from The Pulte Group present their idea to build 27 homes on Auburndale
II property. The project would include a developed park on roughly half of the 9.34 acres. The park
could include an off leash area, active recreation area, walking path, basketball court. The board
discussed and would like Director Faber to contact King County for feasibility.
VII. Department Report (Faber& Kelly)
Lighted crescent & restroom project at Les Gove needs to be completed soon as they are using CDBG
funds. Restrooms include 3 women's toilets, 2 men's, 1 urinal, and 1 family. The synthetic surFacing at
Brannan will be completed in November. A 3rd pickle ball court is being added at Game Farm and will be
done this fall, lines will be added in spring.
Recreation Manager Brian Petty reports on summer camps. This year we had 1,525 registrations and
$241,000 in revenue. Last year we had 988 registrations with $191,000 in revenue. The increase is
most likely due to Mix & Match camps. Kids were able to select a morning camp and different afternoon
camp each week. Camps such as science, film making, dance, art, climbing wall etc. Also offered were
teen camps, adventure camps, theater camp and day camp.
Public Art update: The art piece selected for Les Gove Park (a large spark plug) is being reconsidered.
The artist is working on six new ideas for the old Big Daddy's site. The board recommended something
great to represent Auburn and suggested a lighted piece.
VIII. Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 6:55 pm.
