TO: MAYOR, DEPUTY MAYOR, AND COUNCIL
FROM: DOUG RUSSELL, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2026
SUBJECT: DEPARTMENT BUDGET PRESENATIONS
ATTACHMENTS: DEPARTMENT BUDGETS AND PRESENTATIONS
Summary
On Wednesday, October 7, we will review the initial department budgets for
the 2027-28 Biennial period.
These reports will provide the initial introduction to the proposed budget for
the respective departments, highlighting the activities of the departments
and respective changes from the previous year.
Based on information received the week of September 28, it appears there
will be a significant reduction in available revenue, leading us to revisit and
modify the budget prior to recommendation for approval in November. As
such, there will likely be changes to the department budgets between now
and then. Despite this, we recommend moving forward with the workshop to
review the department activities and initial budget presentation, knowing
there will likely be changes.
October 7 presentations:
City Council
City Manager
Parks, Recreation & Community Services
Police Department
Legal Department
A further review of the budget is scheduled for November 9 with scheduled
adoption on November 16.

City Council Goals & Commitment
Goal 1: Downtown Park(s) & Multi-Generational Community Center Development
By 2030, Lakewood will boast a vibrant and inclusive downtown park(s) and multi-generational community center
that serves as a central hub for recreation, culture, and community engagement. This space will reflect our
commitment to enhancing quality of life, promoting diversity and inclusivity, fostering a sense of belonging for all
residents, regardless of age, background or circumstances, and provides a welcoming space for all to enjoy.
Goal 2: Public Safety
Continue to reduce crime and create a safer City by implementing comprehensive public safety strategies, fostering
community partnerships, and investing in people and resources that support crime prevention, emergency
response, accountability, and community well-being. Public safety is a collaborative effort that encompasses
community policing, court, and social human services.
Goal 3: Parks & Lake Access
Ensure equitable water access by prioritizing acquisition, development and protection of public open spaces along
Lakewood shorelines.
Goal 4: Downtown and Lakewood Station District Subareas Revitalization for Sustainable Growth
Promote redevelopment incentives of underutilized spaces in key growth areas such as the downtown and station
district subareas, ensuring the City’s vision I met for sustainable and vibrant urban growth that promotes and

vibrant, sustainable, and economically thriving urban environments that align with the City’s long-term vision.

Primary Alignment with City Council Goals / Strategic Plan Objectives and Strategies
Goal 1: Downtown Park(s) & Multi-Generational Community Center Development
By 2030, Lakewood will boast a vibrant and inclusive downtown park(s) and multi-generational community center
that serves as a central hub for recreation, culture, and community engagement. This space will reflect our
commitment to enhancing quality of life, promoting diversity and inclusivity, fostering a sense of belonging for all
residents, regardless of age, background or circumstances, and provides a welcoming space for all to enjoy.
Goal 2: Public Safety
Continue to reduce crime and create a safer City by implementing comprehensive public safety strategies,
fostering community partnerships, and investing in people and resources that support crime prevention,
emergency response, accountability, and community well-being. Public safety is a collaborative effort that
encompasses community policing, court, and social human services.
Goal 3: Parks & Lake Access
Ensure equitable water access by prioritizing acquisition, development and protection of public open spaces along
Lakewood shorelines.
Goal 4: Downtown and Lakewood Station District Subareas Revitalization for Sustainable Growth
Promote redevelopment incentives of underutilized spaces in key growth areas such as the downtown and station
district subareas, ensuring the City’s vision I met for sustainable and vibrant urban growth that promotes and
supports a dynamic and robust economy. The revitalization of downtown and the district subareas will create
vibrant, sustainable, and economically thriving urban environments that align with the City’s long-term vision.

Nearcation.com &
The 2027 NEARcation campaign will build on the success of
City Event Branding the City’s ongoing efforts to promote Lakewood as a great
place to visit, explore, and attend events. The goal is to keep
Lakewood’s major events and attractions top of mind while
also highlighting parks, restaurants, local businesses,
recreation, and overnight stays. Consistent marketing helps
bring more visitors to Lakewood, supports local
businesses, and creates more opportunities for economic
activity.

In Proposed
Budget?
Yes

In 2027, the focus will be on keeping that momentum going
and making the City’s event marketing more consistent and
recognizable. This includes continuing to promote
SummerFEST and other major annual events, maintaining
strong-performing NEARcation activity and lodging pages,
and updating the SummerFEST brand to better reflect the
energy and character of Lakewood. The 2026 campaign
showed strong results, with 1.37 million video views,
nearly 50,000 clicks to NEARcation.com, and nearly 9,500
event responses on Facebook and Instagram. Continued
funding will help maintain that reach, grow awareness of
Lakewood’s events and attractions, and support local
tourism and businesses.
Technology CivicPlus Website

Implement CivicPlus platform to modernize the City's
website and improve digital services across departments.
CivicPlus provides an integrated technology solution that
enhances communication, public engagement,
accessibility, and service delivery for residents,
businesses, and visitors. Communications, Planning and
Public Works, and Public Safety will all benefit from a
modern, integrated platform that improves how the City
serves residents. The new website will be easier to use,
more accessible, and provide better access to information
and services. It will also improve emergency alerts and
internal communication for Public Safety, streamline
resident service requests through an enhanced 311 system,
and support more efficient operations across departments.
Overall, the investment will improve customer service,
transparency, and the City's ability to communicate with
the community.

SkidSteer; it doesn't have the horsepower or traction
needed for road-side and fireline mowing. We will tradein the current unit for the tracked unit with the heavy
mower and paving attachments. The new unit will have
the power to operate attachments on terrain and support
asphalt repairs as well.

tractor. The tractor has a high burden of work at Fort
Steilacoom Park to support events and movement of
materials. A tractor with loader is necessary for
operations. Potential $10K trade in value.

based on mileage, age, service reecord, and extended
maintenance costs. The Supervisor truck (42271)
accrues several miles and will hit the 120,000 threshold
for replacement in 2028. There is extended lead time for

Dump Trailer

Replace dump trailer #42520. Dump trailers are in high
demand. A second dump trailer was brought into the
system in 2019, however, Courts and other departments
continued to use the original trailer off and on, and
demand has established the need for two dump trailers
in the Streets maintenace division. Replacement of #
42520 with a modern trailer unit is needed for safety
reasons.

Park Equipment Replacement

Project Description & Justification:

Equipment Replacement is needed at all of the parks. All site furnishings follow a specific standard for tables, benches, bbqs, drinking fountains, trash cans, that
ensure durability through years of high-traffic usage. This annual replacement program allows for regular replacement of site amenities and park maintenance
equipment. The standard is for all park assets to score at least fair in the condition assessment and for damaged items to be replaced as expeditously as possible.
We are able to offset the cost and/or expand this program by allowing visitors to purchase memorial benches at the parks. Private groups purchase benches and
pay $1,500 for installation and a plaque.
Specific projects to be determined based on park need and equipment replacement schedules. Anticipated projects for the biennium include: Picnic tables across
the system in 2027. Small playground and sport field equipment in 2028.

Operational Impact:
There is no m&o impact.

Park Playground Resurfacing

Project Description & Justification:

Playgrounds at all City parks are used year round. The engineered wood chips below the structures gets compressed, worn down and migrates to the edges of the
fall zone. Replacement is needed to keep the areas safe and to meet national playground and risk management safety standards. Besides wood chips, mats and
other surfacing materials are purchased to support areas under swings, slides and entry ramps. Additional surfacing is also needed to update areas impacted by
high usage or when new playgrounds are installed.
Purchase of approximately 200 cubic yards each year to update all city parks. Traditionally purchase large quantities in advance of Park Appreciation Day or other
volunteer service events to move and spread the material. Anticipated projects for the biennium include: Tile replacements at Springbrook Park and engineered
wood chips across the system in 2027 and engineered wood chips at Fort Steilacooom Park in 2028.

Operational Impact:
There is no impact to m&o.

Project Support

Project Description & Justification:

The City has increased the number and size of park projects over the past 5 years. Increases are based on age of sites, lifecycle of buildings and facilities, complexity
of projects and success receiving grants and community donations. Over 14 projects are being planned, in permitting or in construction over the next biennium to
include FSP partnership projects, Edgewater Park, and advancing the adopted CIP in the Legacy Plan, with a need to prepare projects for grant deadlines and future
phases. Project management is needed for grant proposals, community engagement with design, permitting and construction management to ensure we are
meeting project timelines and grant expectations.
Edgewater Park and H-Barn projects include funding for .40 FTE (.20 FTE per project manager).

Operational Impact:
$250,000 per year for two Parks Development Managers and 20% Director. A few large project may allow personnel costs to be charged to specific projects.
Edgewater & H-Barn have .20 FTE per position built into project budget.

Playground Replacement

Project Description & Justification:

Playgrounds are an important amenity in city parks, especially neighborhood parks. Playgrounds are regularly inspected and repaired as needed. The life span of a
playground is influenced by use, materials and environment but can typically last between 15-20 years. The Legacy Plan identifed the following playground
replacement priorities based on a site rotation, with design of playground, routes and basic park features occuring in 2026, and advancement of the park
construction project every other year. With playground replacement, accessible routes and other amenities may be added.
2027: Design Washington Park & Active Park - $90,000
2027: Design FSP Playground - $90,000
2028: Apply for grants for Fort Steilacoom Park $1,000,000 and Active Park $600,000
2028: Construct Washington Park Improvements - $300,000
Design is needed to compete for grants; 2028 grants will be funded in 2029 to construct Active Park (2029) and FSP Playground (2030).

Operational Impact:
Generally site improvements will replace or lessen costs depending on the size and scale of the amenities. Fort Steilacoom Park playground will likely increase in
costs given it is a destination feature.

Street Ends - Water Access

Project Description & Justification:

The City completed a street end study in 2009 to gather data on the feasibility of improved public access at 13 street ends located on 4 lakes within the City. The
report was updated in 2022 and identified 11 sites as having potential to be improved. PRCS provided a prioritization matrix to create a recommended action plan
for a pilot project at Westlake Ave SW. This budget provides design funding for one additional site in order to prepare for future grant funding through RCO ALEA. If awarded, funding could be available in 2029 or 2031 depending on a 2028 or 2030 submission. Grant requires a 50% match; however as projects are in the
right of way qualification of the projects for specific grants is yet to be determined.

Operational Impact:
Improved sites will require regular and seasonal support to maintain improvements.

Downtown Park

Project Description & Justification:

The Legacy Plan as well as the Lakewood Central Business District or "Downtown" Plan include a variety of projects to support desired change and development in
the City. One of the improvement goals is to establish a downtown area to create a sense of identity and pride and provide citizens with recreation and cultural
features. The park would be connected to the anticipated green street loop and the Colonial Plaza at Motor Ave. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
would be used to develop the space while providing infrastructure to support events and a park-like experience.

Operational Impact:
Operation plan would be needed to support improved areas for regular, seasonal and routine maintenance; .25 FTE. Community Center removed from scope and to
be introduced seperately.

Park Wayfinding Sign Program

Project Description & Justification:

The City updated park signs in 2024. During design development it was determined that wayfinding was needed to and throughout larger park sites, especially Fort
Steilacoom Park, street ends, habitat areas and community parks. A family of signs was selected to be used based on what needed to be identified (area, parking
lots, directional).

Operational Impact:
Sign maintenance once created and installed.

Fort Steilacoom Park Main Entry Signs

Project Description & Justification:

Fort Steilacoom Park is the largest park in the City. The City updated park signs in 2024. During design development the City was reconfiguring the entry to the
park which included a traffic circle. There was concern about where to locate the proper entry signs. It was recommended to defer to find a permitable location
that fits with the park given expanded uses and future planning.
Due to regional and national events, this project could be eligible for LTAC funding.

Operational Impact:
All signage is inspected and maintained by assigned park personnel once installed.

Edgewater Park - Phase 1 - Park Development

Project Description & Justification:
This 2.8 acre linear park is relatively undeveloped. In 2006 the City replaced the boat launch at Edgewater Park but no additional improvements have been made for
the past 18 years. A master plan for the park was completed in 2024; the design was used to apply for grant funding support which was secured in 2025. Project
enhancements will include shoreline restoration, water access points, park pathways, a fishing pier, parking and native habitat suitable to the site. Improvements
supported by ALEA, WWRP.

Project Timing:
2025-2027: Design, engineering & permitting
2028: Construction
ALEA: $2,230,000
WWRP: $500,000
Dept of Commerce (Design) $175,000
Operational Impact:
This site is currently on a responsive maintenance plan. Development of the site will increase the need for a daily, seasonal and annual care as other waterfront
properties. An estimated 900-1200 annual hours of service will be required.

Edgewater Park - Phase 2 - Boat Launch

Project Description & Justification:

In 2006, the City replaced the boat launch at Edgewater Park but no additional improvements have been made for the past 18 years. A master plan identified the
preferred location for an improvement boat launch with parking. The City secured a BFP grant to support this development scope in 2025. Phase 1 and Phase 2 are
concurrently being designed, permitted and constructed.
2025-2027: Design, engineering & permitting
2028: Construction
Phase 2 funds:
Boating Facilities Grant: $1,000,000
WA Dept of Commerce (Legislative Request): $175,000

Operational Impact:
This site is currently on a responsive maintenance plan. Development of the site will increase the need for a daily, seasonal and annual care as other waterfront
properties. An estimated 900-1200 annual hours of service will be required for the park; some type of permitted launch and parking system will be helpful to
mitigate demand beyond the capacity of the site.

Project Description & Justification:
The park shop was last painted in 2006 when the building was remodeled for City use. A 10 year lifecycle on exterior paint is a

Baseball Parking Lot
Fort Steilacoom Park

Project Description & Justification:

The parking lot was originally paved back in the 1970's. There have been several Park improvement projects that have occurred over the years
that have increased the users in the park. With the recent completion of a new entry and the Ballfield projects, the parking lot is the last piece to
complete to finish the transformation. New landscape islands and stormwater facilities would be incorporated into the newly paved lot. Pathways
that extend the lot to the soccer fields are also needed for ADA access.

Secure Vehicle Storage
O&M Front Street Shop

Project Description & Justification:
There is a need to store impounded and seizure vehicles in a covered and secure location.
Currently major crimes vehicles are stored in a barn at FSP that regularly gets broken into compromising evidence. The police also store
seizure vehicles uncovered and exposed to the weather in a fenced lot at the police station. The city has suffered claims against it for
damage to some of these vehicles due to the way they are stored. Storing vehicles like this also impacts the useable space for police
operations vehicles. Building a secure building inside the secured yard at Front Street provides the needed vehicle storage and allows for
the needed operational space at the station.

Operational Impact:
To be determined.

Create a Dumpster Ramp
Front Street

Project Description & Justification:
Currently staff dumps garbage on the ground and then has to use the backhoe to lift items over and into a dumpster. By creating a
ramp or depressed area for dumpster placement, they will be able to dump the trailer directly into the dumpster, saving time and
resources.

Operational Impact:
Garbage collection and disposal is a large part of what O&M does. Making the task of emptying the trailers more efficient would
benefit everyone.
