Mayor’s community-center plan to be revealed in West Seattle

Two weeks before Mayor McGinn sends his budget proposal to the City Council, he’s coming to West Seattle to announce a key part of it: Recommendations for how city-owned community centers should be operated next year. He and Councilmember Sally Bagshaw, who chairs the Parks Committee, are scheduled to make the announcement at High Point Community Center, with Acting Parks Superintendent Christopher Williams, on Monday. You’ll recall that last year’s budget led to cuts including the downgrading of Alki Community Center to “limited use.” Whatever they propose, the formal budget presentation is on September 26th, and almost two months of meetings and hearings will ensue before a final plan is adopted in November.

Of course he is. This is the only place he comes for press conferences apparently. Gag!

Any word about what time that will happen? Is it a public meeting?

The notice came to us as a media briefing. Sorry, I should have included it in the story. It’s set for noon, and we will get the word out as it happens … TR
