The newly prioritized list is available on the PLCAC website at www.seattle.gov/parks/legacy/files/subcommittee_preliminary_prioritization.pdf.
Also, the PLCAC is considering what type of funding mechanism to use: short-term, long-term, levy or Metropolitan Park District. The committee will have a public hearing to comment on the initiatives and their prioritization, as well as on the funding mechanism options. The public hearing will take place Thursday, Nov. 7, starting at 6 p.m. at Miller Community Center (330 19th Ave. E.).
To give verbal testimony at the hearing, community members must sign in, beginning at 5 p.m. Testimony may be for up to two minutes.
The Associated Recreation Council will provide on-site child care from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. for up to 20 children ages 5 to 12.
Written testimony carries as much weight as verbal testimony. To submit written testimony to the PLCAC, send e-mail to parkslegacy@seattle.gov, or mail to Parks Legacy Comments, 100 Dexter Ave. N., Seattle, WA 98116.
After the public hearing, the committee will continue to prioritize the list of investment initiatives and evaluate funding mechanism options, with the goal of completing its preliminary recommendations by December.
In January, the committee will host open houses throughout Seattle to hear additional public comments before the final prioritization.
In March 2014, the committee will forward its final recommendations to the mayor and City Council.
