The City of Sammamish aims to ensure that all its residents can receive needed human services. To do that, Sammamish uses some of its local tax money to fund specific programs and all of them are carefully selected through a competitive process. These city-supported programs offer services that are affordable (low cost, adjusted according to income, or free) and accessible. Programs typically receive support from the city for two calendar years. Every even year the City accepts proposals from non-profit agencies seeking funding support in the next biennium budget.

Land Acquisition Strategy & Implementation Policy The City of Sammamish is developing a land acquisition strategy to proactively acquire more land to serve public needs. The City is focused not only on developing new parks and trails, but also on capturing the environmental benefits of preserving natural resources, wildlife corridors, and tree canopy. In part, this strategy has been prompted by growing concerns in the community about rapid residential growth. The strategy will guide near-term and long-term acquisition activities to support the community’s growth and diverse needs and interests. We will be engaging the City Council and Parks and Recreation Commission with special emphasis on public engagement in development of the land acquisition strategy, slated for completion by summer of 2017. Please follow the link to the City’s webpage for upcoming surveys, meetings and other ways to provide your valued input in this exciting process: www.sammamish.us/parks-recreation/studies/ land-acquisition-strategy-and-implementation-policy/.

Beaver Lake Preserve This year we added approximately half a mile of new trails just north of Beaver Lake Drive SE, and are in the process of completing another quarter mile of trails to the south of Beaver Lake Drive SE. The new trails to the north allow users to complete a loop within the Preserve without crossing Beaver Lake Drive SE. We have added wayfinding signage to help residents navigate their way through the new network. Trails to the south are anticipated to be completed in spring 2017. This work includes a crushed-rock trail leading down to Beaver Lake, and a soft-surface trail loop with an overlook of the wetlands. All this work would not have been possible without the countless hours contributed by local high school students, Boy Scouts, YMCA members and other interested groups, all under the supervision of the Washington Trails Association.

PRO Plan Update Do you love your Sammamish Parks? Do you have ideas to improve your Parks? The City of Sammamish is updating its Parks Recreation and Open Space (PRO) Plan. You have the opportunity over the next year to help shape the parks and recreation opportunities in the city. Keep an eye out for the opportunity to make your voice heard. Public input is welcome at Parks Commission meetings and City Council meetings, Virtual Town Halls, surveys and other convenient venues. Watch for updates on our web site: www. sammamish.us/parks-recreation/studies/park-recreation- open-space-plan/. www.sammamish.us/parks-recreation
