d. Off-leash area (SODA): Winter maintenance underway, including seasonal closure of some areas.
e. Cascade Music Collective and Seattle Event Solutions (Concert venue): Their website has some concerts already listed. They are aiming at 20-25 shows, and a more diverse line-up.
f. Maintenance: Nothing much going on, beyond continuing storm cleanup. Three additional sculptures are due to be installed in 2025. All of the pedestals are in place now. One of the main signs for the park is going to be replaced, since the existing one is showing its age.

Redmond will be replacing a culvert just south of the Rowing Club parking lot that will feed into the Sound Transit mitigation area. In the next 2-3 weeks, ST will be making an announcement about when the Opening Date will be announced. The Marymoor station will likely be open in May. Phase 2, when the connection over the I-90 bridge to Seattle, will possibly be in November. The Gateway Trail from Light Rail into Marymoor is moving forward. There will be a presentation on that for the February meeting on February 26th.
i. Cricket Facility Proposal: No update, but Laura sent the FOMP board a link to for a questionnaire that the Orcas club has been putting on FaceBook..
