After review of 35 applications received for the new Parks Funding Advisory Committee, City Manager Debbie Tarry has selected 16 Shoreline citizens.

Factors considered included different community organizations and interests, neighborhoods, and demographics.

Citizen's Advisory Committee members:

• Donald Bell

• Bill Franklin
• Philip Herold
• Joan Herrick
• Jean Hilde
• Carolyn Hope
• Julian Larson
• Jeff Potter
• Esaac Mazengia
• Sara Raab McInerny
• Yvette Perez

The Committee will meet roughly every three weeks beginning Wednesday, September 12, 2018 through March 2019 from 7:00 to 9:00pm at City Hall. Meetings are open to the public and are posted on the city's community calendar.

The goal of the Committee is to explore funding options and prioritize projects for park improvements and a community and aquatics center. 

Using the Committee’s input, the City Manager will make recommendations on park funding to the City Council. Council will review the City Manager’s recommendations and make a decision on next steps.

The City Council adopted the 2017-2023 Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan on July 31, 2017.

The PROS Plan includes a new Community and Aquatics Center to replace the Shoreline Pool and Spartan Recreation Center, and strategies to make sure Shoreline’s park and urban forest system keeps pace with growth in the City.
