PROJECT NARRATIVE
1. Project Description: Describe the scope of work. Indicate the major work involved, including a brief
comparison of existing and proposed conditions.
The proposed scope of work includes replacing or moving structures in Runje Field including bleachers
multi-game court, and climbing poles ; locating bike racks and wayfinding signs at major intersections in the
downtown.
2. Explain the specific Infrastructure issues the project addresses and how they are linked to economic
development improvements.
Visitors experience difficulty while navigating the downtown area which could be resolved by installing
wayfinding signs for restrooms, parking, parks, trailhead, and the cemetery.
We have seen a significant increase in bicycle traffic downtown, but without the ability to lock a bike up
safely, we find that most visitors get their business done quickly and move on. With the addition of bike
racks in the commercial zone, we hope to extend their visits and encourage them to patronize more
businesses.
Through feedback from citizens and event organizers, we have identified several small projects in Runje
Field that would improve the functionality and safety of the space, which is a cornerstone to our downtown
core. These projects include bleachers, replacement of climbing poles, relocation of multi-game court, and
increased power service.

Please explain phase status (work already completed, in progress, awaiting funding, etc., and factors that
may slow phase progress).
Awaiting Funding: multi-game court relocation , way-finding signs, bike racks, power to park .
The wayfinding signs and bike racks can be designed, purchased, and installed by staff. The power and
court work will need to be completed by a contractor, and therefore may be delayed in the process of
contracting.

In Progress: The climbing poles have been received, and a volunteer group from the High Country Log
Show will be removing the old poles and installing the new ones in July 2016. The bleachers are on order
and a volunteer group from the Upper Kittitas County Coed Softball League will be removing the existing,
dangerous bleachers and installing the new ones once they arrive.
Awaiting Funding: multi-game court relocation, way-finding signs, bike racks, power to park.
The wayfinding signs and bike racks can be designed, purchased, and installed by staff. The power and
court work will need to be completed by a contractor, and therefore may be delayed in the process of
contracting.

7. Explain how this infrastructure project has been coordinated, or will be coordinated with other
jurisdictions, such as counties, cities, state/federal agenc i es, and with \economic development organizations
during planning, deSign , finanCing, construction and/or operation phases.
These projects have been identified as a priority after receiving community feedback as well as feedback
from event coordinators. The design for the facility improvements will include work done by the Roslyn
Downtown Association as part of their 2009 and 2010 Storefront Studio Project completed in conjunction
with the University of Washington, both of which were formally adopted by the Roslyn City Council in
October 2010.
In June 2016, a Community Meeting was held in conjunction with the Roslyn Planning and Historic
Preservation Commission to discuss parking in the Commercial Zone, which resulted in the identification of
wayfinding signs as a priority.
We have received feedback and offers to coordinate efforts on the proposed projects from the Roslyn
Business Group, Upper Kittitas County Coed Softball League, High Country Log Show, and Northwest
Bicycle Improvement Company.
Further, all projects will be reviewed by the Roslyn Planning and Historic Preservation Commission as
well as the Roslyn City Council, both in Open Public Meetings.

8. Explain how the infrastructure project will help meet the economic development goals of your
community and/or region. If this project is not done, will the anticipated private development still take place?
By making the downtown more visitor friendly, we hope to prolong visits both by citizens as well as
tourists, which is a staple in Roslyn's economy. Once that has occurred, we anticipate a need for the
businesses to increase staff to meet the need, which will increase the economic vitality of the citizens as well
as the businesses.
If funding is not received , the bleachers and poles will be the only projects completed.
9. Describe any feasibility or predevelopment studies that demonstrate the linkage between the
proposed Distressed County Infrastructure improvements and the anticipated economic outcomes.
The Storefront Studio, which was a cooperative effort between the Roslyn Downtown Association and
the University of Washington, to provide ideas for economic vitality in Roslyn, was completed and adopted
in 2010.
The Roslyn Business Group, Roslyn Citizens, and Roslyn's Planning and Historic Preservation
Commission have had many discussions regarding the proposed projects over the last 3 years. The result of
these discussions is this application for funding.
10. Indicate if other needed infrastructure (e.g., sewer, water, power) is in place or if there is a plan for
getting it in place.
Runje Field is currently partially served with power, and there are several public restrooms available . Increased
power is needed due to the increased use of the park.
Additionally, parking is antiCipated to be repainted this summer.
11. Indicate the Estimated Number of Businesses Created/Retained by the Project • ..=..1 ..:;..0 __ _
This number is the number of businesses that rely on the steady flow ofpeopJe passing by their
establishments as well as vacant storefronts, currently available for in-fill.
12. Indicated the Estimated Number of Jobs Created/Retained by the Project. ..:;.1 =-5 __ _
This number is based off of an estimate for hiring one additional employee at each of our highest
performing downtown businesses. This number does not reflect the increase in temporary employment due
to the project construction itself.

Parks & Recreation Plan
Section 1: Introduction
Roslyn is located 80 miles east of Seattle near Interstate 90 in sunny central Washington. Incorporated in
1886, the coal-mining town of Roslyn played an important role in Washington State History. The
extensive coal fields in the area fueled the Northern Pacific Railroad's trains during construction and
early operation of a direct rail line through the Cascade Mountains.
The City of Roslyn Recreation Plan is the culmination of many years and dedicated volunteer hours of
work since the City of Roslyn acquired the Roslyn Urban Forest (RUF) in 2007 and established the RUF
Citizens Advisory Committee (CAe) which began meeting bimonthly in 2008. This work was completed
by the City of Roslyn CAC, Staff, Elected Officials, local volunteers, and stakeholder groups. The City and
the CAC have partnered with other organizations, such as the Wilderness Society, the National Parks
Service (Rivers, Trails, Conservation Assistance Program), the Washington Chapter of the American
Society of landscape Architects, Kittitas Conservation Trust, Forterra, Mountains to Sound Greenway,
The Nature Conservancy, the Roslyn Downtown Association, and University of Washington to help
effectively organize and strategize the best way to engage citizens and stakeholders to create this plan.
Vision for the City of Roslyn Recreation Plan:
A recreation plan that has recommendations that fit with Roslyn's community needs, fosters a sense of
place, promotes health and weI/-being of residents, aligns with Roslyn's comprehensive plan goals, and
enhances the quality of life for local citizens. This includes non-motorized public access to open space in
and adjacent to the City of Roslyn, sustainable recreational opportunities, flexible and adaptive to local
needs, connected and integrated into the Wildlife and recreation networks in the region, embraced by the
City and the local citizens and users, and provides educational opportunities for the community. (Roslyn
Urban Forest CAC -Design Charrette Summary Report, 2012)
Goals of the City of Roslyn Recreation Plan:
Provide a range of recreational opportunities within Roslyn's parks, forest, and open-spaces
Balance recreational amenities to minimize negative impacts to forest health, wildlife habitat
and local residents and businesses
Identify and enhance regional recreational opportunities and public access
Integrate the needs of the town center (downtown), including visitor parking and other ancillary
services (i.e. Stormwater management, etc.)
Celebrate Roslyn's history and community

Slim Runje Field is Roslyn's largest park (approx. 5 acres) located one (1) block to the northeast of
Roslyn's Downtown core. It provides for both adult and youth organized sporting activities . In 2006,
new playground equipment was added that is very popular with children and their parents. Many large
annual events take place here over the summer weekends like the antique RV show, Run to Roslyn car
show, the Roslyn Log Show, Croatian Picnic, Black Pioneers Festival, and softball tournaments. There are
smaller events and family gatherings that utilize that park and its facilities. It is adjacent to the Coal
Mines Trail and from the park you can take that trail to the City of Cle Elum or the township of Ronald
and see the history of coal mining in the area. It is the most popular of the parks within the developed
footprint of Roslyn with daily use by residents and visitors alike.

INTRODUCTION
City of Roslyn
2016-2021 Capital Facilities Plan
To comply with State and Federal mandates, maintain, or improve City services to citizens, and protect
the City's unique character and quality of life, the City of Roslyn anticipates the need for steady
investment in its Capital Facilities.
These projects include improvements to water supply and treatment, streets, sidewalks, sanitary and
storm sewers and routine replacement of worn-out City equipment. The City is also planning to improve
its public buildings, parks, and historic cemeteries . Improving the area behind City Hall to accommodate
visitors is a priority.
To approach these projects in a coordinated and cost effective way, the City has developed this Capital
Facilities Plan ("CFp II
) for 2015 through 2021. This plan also provides an inventory of existing capital
facilities, describes needed projects, and establishes a construction chronology, including possible
funding sources for meeting the City's goals. One possible funding source is revenue generated from
the collection of impact fees.
CAPITAL FACILITY PROJECTS GUIDELINES AND CRITERIA
The CFP addresses each element required by RCW 36.70A.070 (3). The CFP includes an inventory of all
existing capital facilities showing the locations and capacities of the capital facilities, including City
equipment and City properties identified on the historic register 1 • Appendix A, which maps City
properties and facilities, is attached. The CFP also provides a forecast for future needs exceeding
$300.00 and lists those projects in order of priority. 2 The CFP requires the City to reassess the land use
element if probable funding falls short of meeting existing needs and to ensure that the land use
element are coordinated and consistent.3 Finally, the City has not identified a need for expanded or
new capital facilities. As a result, the CFP does not address the proposed locations and capacities of
expanded or new capital facilities. 4
