1. Description of Request:
a) Describe the proposed activity or service, and indicate whether it is a higher or lower priority
than existing services in your department budget.
This project entails the renovation of the main park campground to include new water and electrical
service„ road alignment and surfacing and campsite improvements including leveling, surfacing and
installation of new pedestals, tables and fire rings. Two of the existing cabins will be renovated as part of
this project.. Design, permitting, and construction work is also planned for a phased replacement of
restrooms and showers at the park.
Work planned in 2019 includes reconstruction and surfacing of roads, realignment of campsites, signage,
site preparation for future shower /restroom building, tree removal, registration kiosk, lighting, shouldering,
pedestrian paths and new site amenities for the Maple Creek campground. One rental cabin will be
updated with new electrical, wall coverings, cabinets and counters, windows and flooring. Design,
engineering and permitting will be initiated for the proposed Red Mountain restroom building.
In 2020, work will include construction of the septic field, utilities and a new shower /restroom building in the
Red Mountain campground. Design, permitting and engineering will be completed in anticipation of the
proposed construction of a new restroom /shower building for the Maple Creek campground in the next
budget biennium and renovations for one cabin to include flooring, windows, wall coverings, appliances,
cabinets and counters and electrical upgrades.
b) Who are the primary customers for this service?
This project will serve the over 200,000 visitors that use Silver Lake Park annually.
2. Describe the problem this request addresses and why Whatcom County needs to address it.
The condition of the park's roads, restrooms, utilities and campgrounds require renovation and updating.
Many of these original improvements are at the end of their useful life and were not designed to
accommodate the high volume of use the park receives today. Breakdowns and maintenance costs
continue to increase and visitors have repeatedly asked for better facilities. Staff is challenged to maintain
the park to acceptable standards due to the condition and age of the infrastructure. Renovation of the
rental cabins allows continued use of these structures by the public. Improvements will give park visitors a
better experience and help the department maintain revenues.
3. Options
a) What other options have you considered? Why is this the best option?
None. Without well maintained infrastructure, park use would be expected to decrease and some facilities
may need to close or be removed for safety purposes. This is a very popular park area experiencing
growing visitation annually and use is expected to remain high over the life of these improvements. .
b) What are the specific cost savings? (Quantify)

ASR It 2019- 6112 Fund 361 Cost Center 361100 Originator. Michael McFarlane
Costs for improvements are off set by campground, shower and other concession fees. In 2017, over
$378,000 were generated from camping and park fees. In addition, the park increases traffic and
customers for small businesses in the area. Maintenance costs are expected to decrease with new
infrastructure improvements.
4. Outcomes/ Objectives
a) What outcomes will be delivered and when?
Improvements and specific tasks will be completed as per design and development schedules for the
project..
b) How will you know whether the outcomes happened?
Facilities will be open and in use by park visitors upon completion.
5. Other Departments /Agencies
a) Will this ASR impact other departments or agencies? If so, please identify the departments and /or
agencies impacted and explain what the impact(s) will be.
Whatcom Planning and Development Services and the Health Department will be involved in the permitting
and inspection of construction work.
b) If another department or agency is responsible for part of the implementation, name the person in
charge of implementation and what they are responsible for.
N/A
6. What is the funding source for this request?
