7. COUNCIL BUSINESS
a. Police Department Proposing Additional Personnel and Resources
Chief of Police Andy Hwang and Finance Director Steve Groom presented information
which has been presented previously: to the City Council as informational on September 21
and Council Committee on October 12. Chief Hwang presented crime statistics including
gun violence and changes in public safety in Washington State. He also reviewed the
historical staff of the department and his recommendation to increase staffing both with
sworn officers and department personnel as well as additional vehicles.
Chief Hwang believes the changes in the public environment compels the department to
commit more resources. He is requesting the City Council provide the Police Department
with additional staffing and resources which will impact the rise in crime and gun violence.
These changes will send a strong message to the community that safety is a priority and
criminal conduct will not be tolerated.
The request includes 13 new police officer positions to reach a ratio of 1.49 officers per
1,000 residents; 13 police vehicles added to the fleet to accommodate each new position;
two (2) new record specialist positions for a total of 12; 15 additional police vehicles; and
hiring bonuses for entry-level and lateral hires. He provided the estimated costs of salary &
benefits for 13 police officers ($1,275,378 per year); salary & benefits for two (2) records
specialists ($126,386 per year); equipment/uniforms/registration costs ($183,000 one-
time cost); hiring bonuses ($98,000 one-time); 28 equipped patrol vehicles ($2,072,000
initial cost); and yearly replacement cost of added vehicles ($259,000 per year).
Finance Director Groom spoke to the options for funding the request. He noted the formal
budget process allocates the city resources to the top priorities and that intermediate course
correction obligations must also consider future budget consequences. He reported current
year savings including jail costs and existing vacancies, which will decline as open positions
Federal Way City Council Regular Minutes Page 5 of 11
October 19, 2021
are filled. Sales Tax revenue was cautiously forecasted due to COVID factors and has been
favorably projected.
Director Groom noted that in addition to the one-time costs, adding vehicles and staff will
increase the annual reserve funding and increases the annual budget commitment to an
approximated increase of $1,660,764 per year. He provided an option to partially fund the
request using ARPA funds and an option without use of ARPA funds.
Mr. Groom noted the Mayor's recommendation is Option 1 to approve the increase in police
department staffing, hiring bonus and new vehicle purchases committing ARPA Revenue
for the vehicle purchases and funding the remainder from current -year savings. He
acknowledged the study session presentations and the need for an ARPA Master Plan
Update once final federal guidelines are received.
Councilmembers thanked Chief Hwang and Director Groom for their joint presentation and
asked various clarifying questions including confirming if the purchase of police vehicles are
an allowable use of ARPA funds and to clarify these costs will fall to the general fund in
2024.
COUNCILMEMBER TRAN MOVED APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSAL WITH OPTION 1 AS
OUTLINED; SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER MOORE.
Council discussion continued. Questions were raised regarding the eligibility of future COPS
grants, upcoming police retirements and vacancies, and if Sound Transit will supply security
officers for the Light Rail station.
Council also raised concerns about increasing the Police Department yet not adding
additional positions to address social concerns such as a homeless liaison or imbedded
social worker positions.
Chief Hwang addressed the current procedures and policies with partner agencies; Mayor
Ferrell clarified this recommendation is for an increase in police officers and the records
staff increase is a "force multiplier" to ensure reports and paperwork are handled timely.

direction at the first reading of the proposed ordinance. He noted this version of the
