was established to provide instruction, education and information for the proper, lawful and safe operation of motor
vehicles. The Traffic School has proven to be successful and the Public Safety Department recommended an
ordinance be adopted to establish the school for the benefit of the citizens of Federal Way. Ms. Gates recommended

Chelan County Regional Jail Interlocal Agreement
Via:
Subject:
Back~round: Pursuant to the Interlocal Cooperation Act as governed by RCW Chapter 39.34.080,
the City of Federal Way Department of Public Safety requests approval to enter into an Interlocal
Agreement with Chelan County for a cooperative effort to provide Federal Way Department of
Public Safety with cost-effective housing of inmates in the Chelan County Regional Jail.
The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions by which Chelan Ç,ounty will
provide Federal Way Department of Public Safety a place of confinement for the incarceration of
one or more inmates lawfully committed to its custody, as well as compensation mutually agreed
upon by both County and City for said services. The term set forth will begin Þlugust 1, 2000 and
end December 31, 2001 and will automatically renew until terminated by written notice received
sixty (60) days prior to the termination date. This Þlgreement also outlines other specific concerns
relevant to mutual expectations and responsibilities.
With the estimated 40% increase to the King County Jail billings over the past 18 months, the
Department is exploring several proactive approaches to reduce jail costs. The benefits realized by
this new venture would afford Federal Way an opportunity to build a favorable relationship between
the Department of Public Safety and Chelan County and allow the Department to obtain one of the
jail cost objectives. The Chelan County Regional Jail maintains 192 beds and is currently
undergoing renovations to add 40 work release beds with an additional 1 00 work release beds to be
added in one year. Þlt the present, the County is contracting with the Federal Border Patrol and is
currently negotiating with another law enforcement agency. The County contracts private medical
staffing and provides the inmates with commissary accounts.
Þlttached is the final draft for an Interlocal Þlgreement between the City of Federal Way and Chelan
County.
Committee Recommendation:
~otion to approve and accept the Interlocal Þlgreement between the City of Federal Way and the
Chelan County for the housing of inmates.

County of Okanogan Jail Interlocal Agreement
From:
Via:
Background: Pursuant to the lnterlocal Cooperation Act as governed by RCW Chapter 39.34.080,
the City of Federal Way Department of Public Safety requests approval to enter into an Interlocal
Þlgreement with Okanogan County for the purpose of providing the City of Federal Way with
adequate facilities and personnel for the lodging and processing of persons placed under arrest by the
City and to establish a basis for identifying and distributing costs and responsibilities to-each party.
The purpose of this Þlgreement is to set forth the terms and conditions by which Okanogan County
will provide Federal Way Department of Public Safety a place of confmement for the incarceration
of one or more inmates lawfully committed to its custody, as well as compensation mutually agreed
upon by both County and City for said services. These rates will be in effect through December 31,
2000 and will increase annually on the first of each calendar year based on the cost of living. The
term set forth will be for five (5) years with the option to renew until terminated by written notice
received ninety (90) days prior to the termination date. This Þlgreement also outlines other specific
concerns relevant to mutual expectations and responsibilities.
With the estimated 40% increase to the King County Jail billings over the past 18 months, the
Department is exploring several proactive approaches to reduce jail costs. The benefits realized by
this new venture would afford Federal Way an opportunity to build a favorable relationship between
the Department of Public Safety and Okanogan County and allow the Department to obtain one of
the jail cost objectives. Þlt the present, the County contracts with several other jurisdictions
throughout Washington State. The County will provide medical services as needed.
Þlttached is the final draft for an Interlocal Þlgreement between the City of Federal Way and
Okanogan County.
Committee Recommendation:
~otion to approve and accept the Interlocal Þlgreement between the City of Federal Way and the
Okanogan County for the housing of inmates.

Background
The Human Services Commission is pleased to present the 2001 Community DeveloP!llent
Block Grant (CDBG) Proposed Use of Funds. The Council Committee is asked to review the
funding recommendations and forward them to the full City Council for final approval. Included
with this memo is (1) a summary chart listing each project, the requested amount, the proposed
funding level and a brief rationale; (2) a contingency plan providing guidelines for adjusting
grant awards should the funds available increase or decrease; (3) project descriptions for each
application, (4) a two-page overview of the CDBG program guidelines, and (5) a reference copy
of the City's CDBG Funding Strategies, 2000-2003.
The Council received a copy of the Commission's preliminary recommendations based on an
original grant estimate of $488,302. On July 21, the City received a revised grant estimate of
$591,177 (detailed below). The Commission's contingency plan was used to adjust the
recommendations after the CDBG Public Hearing to accommodate the change in funds available.
Recommendation Process
The total amount of funds available for the year 2001 is estimated at $591,177. This includes:
$488,018
$31,094
$70,863
$1,202
of2001 CDBG grant
of recaptured CDBG funds from prior year projects that did not expend
their total award
of Federal Way Home Repair Program loans that were repaid
of CDBG program income generated by interest income received from
King County CDBG Consortium-wide loan programs.
Of the $591,177 total, $434,735 is available for capital projects (including $88,677 available to
eligible economic development applications), $82,255 is available for public service programs,
and $74,187 is available for planning and administration activities.
On April 26, 2000, applications were received for capital projects and public service programs.
Eleven proposals requested a total of $593,334. Of that total, $400,000 requested funds for
capital projects and $119,147 requested for public service programs. No applications were
received that were eligible for the economic development set-aside. Human Services staff
prepared a proposal for the use of planning and administrative funds totaling $74,187.
During weekly meetings, the Commission carefully reviewed each application and interviewed
all applicants before developing a preliminary recommendation. The Commission then hosted a
public hearing to collect citizen comments on the preliminary recommendations. These
comments were considered as the Commission voted on the final Proposed Use of Funds.
The Commission is confident that the Proposed Use of Funds complies with local and federal
statutory guidelines. 1\t the same time, it offers a diverse portfolio of projects and programs that
predominantly benefit low- and moderate-income individuals.
Concern Regarding Potential Barrier to Transitional Housing
The application from the Federal Way Community Caregiving Network - FUSION, requested
$125,000 in grant funds to purchase one condominium unit in Federal Way. This agency has
five times previously used grants of $50,000 to purchase condominium units. The applicant
stated that the increased request amount was due to (1) overall increases in the cost of housing in
Federal Way, and (2) a limited pool of condominium complexes where siting of transitional
housing is allowed. The Federal Way Zoning Code requires that such housing units be located at
a distance of 1000 feet from a similar unit. FUSION believes that the locations of their existing
five units restrict them from purchasing a sixth unit in the more affordable condo complexes
within the city. The Commission suggests that the Council review and the 1000 foot dispersion
requirements in the Zoning Code to determine if the benefits of dispersing transitional housing
units are outweighed by the increased cost borne by agencies and the City (as a granting body) to
provide additional transitional housing units.
Allocation of Additional Funds
With our current estimate of $591,177, there are more grant funds available for capital projects
($434,735) than there are requests ($400,000). 1\s the City received the revised estimate amount
after the Commission's public hearing and final recommendation vote, the Commission was
polled via fax and e-mail as to how to address the uncommitted grant funds.
Human Services staff provided the Commission with a staff recommendation to consider. The
recommendation was to revise the CDBG contingency plan to accommodate this and future
changes to the grant estimate. The suggested changes are underlined on the enclosed copy of the
contingency plan. Staff recommended allocating additional funds, up to $50,000 to the First
Time Homebuyer Program. Funds awarded in excess of that requested can be used to benefit
additional clients and the funds will be matched with King County grant funds. If uncommitted
funds exceed $50,000, then a Request for Proposals would be issued by the Human Services
Division based upon a recommendation from the Commission and direction fronrthe Council.
The other option presented was maintaining the Commission's recommendation and leaving any
uncommitted funds ($34,735) to be allocated in next year's CDBG funding cycle.
Seven of the nine voting Commission members responded to the poll. Each respondent
concurred with the staff recommendation. Since this recommendation was not discussed at a
regular Commission meeting, it was not officially put to a vote. However, the Commission's
recommendation via e-mail regarding allocation ofthe additional funding is provided for your
consideration.

Project Description
The C1\RES Program provides childcare subsidies for low and moderate-income families in
Federal Way. The scholarships are provided to families whose incop1e is not high enough to afford
quality childcare, but not low enough to be eligible for State assistance. The program includes
before and after school care as well as summer and school break child care services. The
scholarships allow parents to work or attend school or other training opportunities while feeling
assured that their children are in properly supervised learning programs and age-appropriate
activities.
From 1992 to 1998, the City of Federal Way Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department
administered the program. As of January 1999, the SKC~SC assumed administration of the
program, with the local Y~C1\ providing service delivery supervision. The agencies providing
childcare for the CARES program include the YMCA, ~edallion Children's Services, and
Rainbow Connection. The program has sites in 11 Federal Way elementary schools.
Feasibility
Demonstrated Need and Effect of Project (including performance and outcome measures)
The application describes the need for the program, but does not provide quantitative information,
which would give a sense of the scope of the need for subsidized childcare services.
Based on performance in previous years, the performance measures look realistic. The proposed
outcome measures are on the right track. Program staff have participated in outcomes training and
technical assistance sessiC'ns. The program is serving an ethnically diverse population. Translation
services are utilized as needed to assist clients.

levels)
The City funds the Dental Access program through both CDBG and Human Service Fund
programs. The CDBG award has been used to fund a portion of one dentist's salary at the Federal
Way clinic. The City's CDBG contribution supports a small portion of the overall program budget
(two percent). An average dental visit costs approximately $120. The average subsidized portion
for an uninsured client is $89. Funds provided by Federal Way CDBG will support 116 dental
visits over the course of the year.
CHCKC's operating budget is broad based and includes all levels of government. CHCKC has
consistently been able to maintain its existing services while expanding to other parts of the
County.
Capacity of Applicant (to manage project and/or provide long-term operating support)
CHCKC has been providing dental care services in Federal Way for the past five years. Dental
services are also offered in Kent and 1\uburn. The applicant has the expertise and experience to
continue operating this program. In addition, CHCKC employs staff who are repres~ntative of
their client population. Approximately 29 percent of the Federal Way Community Dental Center
staff are members of an ethnic minority - including Eastern European, Hispanic, and 1\sian
Nilerican.

Project Description
Federal Way Dental Access provides operative, preventative, restorative and emergency dental
care to low and moderate-income Federal Way residents. At least 85% of the Federal Way patients
.'
served through this program will have family incomes at 80% or below King County median
income. Services are provided on a sliding-fee scale, according to family size and income.
Interpretation services are provided free of charge for clients with limited English speaking ability,
hearing impairment and sight impairment.
Federal Way Community Dental Center recently established weekly half day emergency walk-in
clinics at which no appointments are scheduled and only urgent care cases are served. The patients
are triaged to prioritize the severity of cases.
Feasibility
Demonstrated Need and Effect of Project (including performance and outcome measures)
According to statistics provided by the applicant, less than one-third of ~edicaid enrolled children
in South King County received dental care in the previous year. 1\ccess to dental care for
uninsured adults is also extremely difficult. This is due to a lack of dentists willing to serve these
client groups. CHCKC has addressed these needs by focusing their dental services on family
practice and on adults with emergency dental needs.
CHCKC is applying for their third year of funding from the CDBG program. Their request equals
their 1999 award and the performance measures have been increased by 26 percent. The increase
is in anticipation of adding a full time dentist to one of the clinics. Even with the addition of a
dentist, a 26 percent increase may be unrealistically high.
The agency is on the right track with development of their outcome measures.

program under this request (the hotel vouchers and pamphlets) will not increase the unduplicated
number of victims served, but will increase the level of service that can be provided to each victim.
If these elements receive funding, the applicant will be asked to develop performance measures for
them (such as number of hotel vouchers distributed).
The outcome measures provided in the application will build upon data collected in previous years
and will attempt to track the number of successful prosecutions resulting in guilty verdicts, plea
agreements, or batterers entering court ordered treatment/education programs.
Fiscal Evaluation (including appropriate funding sources, cost-effectiveness, realistic expenditure
levels)
The City assumed responsibility for the prosecution of domestic violence from King County in
1997. 1\ one person DV Unit was established with CDBG funds in 1998. The cost of that position
was transferred to the City General Fund in 1999. CDBG funds in 1999 and 2000 have supported
an additional part-time position to assist with the workload and broaden the number of services
available to victims. Assuming full funding at $60,550 and 3,120 hours ofadvocaG-Y, CDBG funds
will support domestic violence advocacy and prosecution at a rate of $19.40 per homo
.:¡¡
~
In past years, CDBG has contributed primarily labor costs. The r~quest for 2001 includes labor
and adds funds to start a hotel voucher program and reproduce informational brochures. The hotel
voucher program raises questions. There is no doubt that the service would be a valuable addition
to the DV Unit program. However, there are six voucher programs currently available to Federal
Way residents through various emergency assistance programs. The applicant believes that they
need to be able to issue vouchers immediately rather than working through a separate non-profit
group.
Capacity of Applicant (to manage project and/or provide long-term operating support)
As stated, this project is currently in its third year of CDBG funding and is applying for a fourth
year. It has shown growth over the time it has been funded with CDBG and has provided a
valuable service to the residents of Federal Way. The City's Legal Services Department has also
shown its intent to provide long term operating support by adding one FTE position (funded by
CDBG in 1998) to the City's 1999 to 2000 budget. As of now, it is unknown what components of
the DV Unit will be funded in the City's 2001 to 2002 budget. The City also contributes materials,
supplies and administrative assistance to the DV Unit.

Project Description
The Federal Way Domestic Violence Unit (DV Unit) provides Domestic Violence Victim
Advocates for residents of Federal Way who are victims of domest~c abuse. These Advocates
promote victim safety, abuser accountability, and community awareness through education,
prevention, intervention and treatment. The Advocate Program serves as a victim's guide through
the legal system. The DV Unit's goals are to aid in safety planning for victims, as well as to refer
them to other agencies that are able to meet their specific needs, i.e. shelters and financial aid.
Advocates also collect information that is useful and relevant to the case thereby assisting in the
prosecution of the defendant batterers. The program also provides follow-up services to assure that
the batterers are following court assigned treatment programs.
Feasibility
Demonstrated Need and Effect of Project (including performance and outcome measures)
During 1999, the City's Domestic Violence Unit pursued 451 cases. That translates to
approximately 38 cases every month. The DV Unit offers services to victims of these offenses by
offering them assistance in seeking the full protection available to them by the law, The Unit also
helps clients understand and access the different types of services that are available. If necessary,
the Unit will assist a victim in leaving the home.
For clients who are limited English speaking, the applicant makes use of translators and a network
of ethnic counseling agencies. Education and advocacy for this group of clients is particularly
needed, as they tend to be less aware of their rights in the legal system.
~aintaining funding for the 0.5 FTE Victim Advocate will enable the program to serve 336
victims above that which will be served by the 1.0 FTE position that is funded through the City's
General Fund. The second 0.5 FIE, if funded, will enable the program to offer more assistance in
the prosecution ofbatterers resulting in an increased rate of conviction (forty percent of last year's
cases were dismissed due to lack of evidence or witnesses). Likewise, the other elements of the

county cities, even if not located in the funding city. In 1998, the City funded a similar type of
project in Des ~oines (Victorian Place II). For that project, the applicant offered that marketing
would take place in the cities that funded the project for future vacancies. Also, Federal Way
families going through the SKCMSC's emergency and transitional housing programs will have
access to this property for permanent housing (as vacancies allow).
Fiscal Evaluation (including appropriate funding sources, cost-effectiveness, realistic expenditure levels)
Costs for the project have been developed in a conservative manner with sufficient contingencies
built into the budget to cover unanticipated or underestimated costs. The benefits of this project
are that the applicant has secured the project site and 36 percent of the budget has already been
secured. The applicant proposes to use City CDBG funds for purchase of major appliances for
kitchen upgrades in each unit (CDBG regulations require that any equipment purchased by
permanently installed in the unit).
Public subsidy toward the preservation of existing affordable housing is often more cost-efficient
than subsidy of new affordable housing construction. --
Capacity of Applicant (to manage project and/or provide long-term operating support)
The SKC~SC has over 100 housing units in their ownership inclu~ing emergency, transitional and
affordable rental housing. The agency is currently pursuing funding for four different housing
projects in South King County (this project in Auburn, one in Kent and two in Federal Way). If
they are successful in receiving funding for all their projects, a capacity question during
implementation might arise. However, the agency has established several partnerships with other
non-profits and housing development consultants to limit their investment of time and agency
resources in anyone project.

Project Description :
The Tall Cedars Apartments are located at 1315 - 3151 Street in 1\uburn. There are 24 apartment
units with approximately 800 square feet of space including two bedrooms and a bath. The
complex is two stories and sits on 39,878 square feet of property. There is a playground at the end
of the property. This project will rehabilitate the property, upgrade the quality of the housing
units, and guarantee that rents will remain affordable to low- and moderate-income households.
The SKCMSC, as landlord, will work with the 1\ubum Police Department to reduce the
historically high number of calls and complaints from this building - working toward a healthier
atmosphere for children and their families. The 1\ubum Y~CA and Auburn Youth Resource
Center are located within two miles.
1\ purchase and sale agreement is already in place. If successful in receiving funding, the applicant
believes this site can be acquired by ~ay 2001.
Feasibility
Demonstrated Need and Effect of Project (including performance and outcome measures)
South King County is the last region of King County that has a stock of rental housing affordable
to a wide range of income levels. This project will preserve current affordable housing, as rent
charged will be dictated by the income of the tenants rather than the overall current market for
rental housing. Rents will be kept affordable for. households making 30 to 55 percent of the King
County median income. Thirty percent of median for a family of four is $19,750. Fifty-five
percent of median for a family of four is $36,190.

location. With this agency, there is an indirect benefit, as programs offered by the agency in
Federal Way will be administered from the new project site. These programs include Meals on
Wheels, Congregate Meals and Volunteer Transportation Services (all funded through the Human
Services General Fund).
Fiscal Evaluation (including appropriate funding sources, cost-effectiveness, realistic expenditure
levels)
Like the HSDC proposal, the funding package is uncommon as the City of Federal Way has not
funded a project located in Seattle (a similarly structured application was received but not funded
last year). Neither do we know of a case where the City of Seattle has funded a project located in
Federal Way. While the applicant estimates that 1.9 percent of the clientele come from Federal
Way, the funding requests equals 0.36 percent of the total budget.
The project budget is sound. The CDBG request is coming at the very beginning of the funding
process. No other public funding sources have been secured at this time. To facilitate the
process, Senior Services has hired Common Ground, a nonprofit development congultant, who
has extensive background in CDBG funded development projects.
Capacity of Applicant (to manage project and/or provide long-term oper,ating support)
Senior Services is a large, well-respected nonprofit organization. They receive programmatic
operating support from several South King County cities for services they provide across King
County. While they have no track record in real estate development, they have hired respected
and capable development consultants for the construction of the new housing and office space.

Project Description
This proposed project is an 8-story, 35,700 square foot, new construction building that will include
3 floors with 16,700 square feet for Senior Services programs and 19,000 square feet (25 units) of
low-income senior housing. The project will be located in downtown Seattle. The Senior Services
office space will include nine Senior Services programs. The seniors who live in the building will
have easy access to and be linked with Senior Services programs and the Senior Health and
Wellness Center. There will be a rooftop garden that will be available for Senior Services clients
and housing residents.
,~
If successful in receiving funding, the applicant believes this project can be complete by 1\ugust
2002.
Feasibility
Demonstrated Need and Effect of Project (including performance and outcome measures)
Senior Services is the largest provider of services for seniors in King County, serving 50,000
seniors per year. Twenty-eight thousand of those seniors are served through programs located in
the downtown Seattle location. Due to steadily increasing leasing costs, Senior Services must
vacate its current location by Summer 2002. Senior Services anticipates the need for services to
increase significantly over the next twenty years and there is currently a significant increase in
service needs for persons over age 85.
From the Project Benefit section of the application (question 13), less than two percent of the

project benefit numbers, the applicant responded that client residence is asked when a client calls
or comes in to the Seattle facility. Similar to the Speech, Hearing and Deafness Center (HSDC)
proposal, it will be important to show how Federal Way residents ~re directly--served at the project

2001 CDBG Application Summary
Potential tenants apply to the Oxford House based upon their own geographic preference. The
residents of the house then select from the applications received for any opening that occurs.
Although highly probable that Federal Way residents would choose to apply to a South King
County Oxford House, there is no guarantee that city residents will be served.
Fiscal Evaluation (including appropriate funding sources, cost-effectiveness, realistic expenditure levels)
The majority of the project budget is given to property acquisition costs. The estimated costs are
extremely preliminary, as no site has yet been identified. The anticipated costs seem sufficient to
cover the acquisition of a six-bedroom home. The most difficult aspect of this project will be
locating an existing six bedroom home (big enough to accommodate eight individuals) that is near
shopping and transit. If required, the project includes funds to rehabilitate or modify the structure
to meet the needs of the program.
Capacity of Applicant (to manage project and/or provide long-term operating support)
The King County Housing Authority will be the property owner and manager. KCHA owns over
400 units of housing in Federal Way ranging from single-family homes to large-scale apartment
complexes. Oxford Houses of Washington is a state chapter of a national organization. They will
oversee the day-to-day operation. Oxford House has 77 houses in Washington State with 15 in
King County (there are no Oxford Houses located between Renton.and Tacoma). Each Oxford
House is self-sufficient, providing enough operating support through rents charged to each
resident.

Project Description
The goal of Oxford House is to provide a supportive, clean and sober living environment in which
residents can pursue a program of recovery. This housing provides a transition time between
treatment and full recovery. Although there is no time limit, most residents remain for about a
year. The goal is to purchase a newer home constructed in 1980 or later that needs a minimum of
rehabilitation to accommodate the program.
"'I
The living arrangements will be that of a single family with residents sharing common spaces. It
will house eight residents with four sharing bedrooms and four with individual bedrooms. All
residents participate in the management ofthe house, tasks/duties are rotated among members and
none are permitted to opt out. No social services are provided on site. Oxford Houses focus on
providing a supportive environment where a highly democratic form of house management serves
as training for learning new behaviors. There are 15 Oxford Houses in King County. Two are
located in South King County (Burien and Renton).
If successful in receiving funding, the applicant believes this site can be acquired by ~arch 2001.

Feasibility
Demonstrated Need and Effect of Project (including performance and outcome measures)
Housing for persons in recovery is in short supply throughout King County. Each year about 1,400
unduplicated persons exit Cedar Hills Treatment Facility Gust south of Seattle). 1\nother 3,600
persons complete treatment at 10 other facilities in King County. According to the King County
Housing and Community Development Plan, there is a need for 700 more transitional housing
units for persons in recovery. Eighty-two percent ofthe existing housing resources for this
population are located in Seattle, with thirteen percent in South King County.

assistance to clients until the beginning of 1999 (delay was due to regional coordination and
contracting processes - not due to the program). In thirteen months beginning in February 1999,
HomeSight issued $253,200 in purchase assistance within Federal Way ($512,440 in South King
County). Of that total, $90,000 was Federal Way CDBG and funds and $163,200 was matched
King County funds. This is a ratio of King County to City funds of 1.81.
The past expenditure rates indicate that HomeSight will be able to issue the full request during
2001. As interest rates continue to rise over time, more and more moderate-income households
will need assistance in moving from rent to home ownership.
Fiscal Evaluation (including appropriate funding sources, cost-effectiveness, realistic expenditure levels)
The funds invested in this program are given to a revolving loan fund. Similar to the City's home
repair program, principal and interest are repaid to the loan pool and redistributed to new Federal
Way clients. Over time, this loan fund will be self-supporting, however due to the structure of the
loans, funds will not begin revolving for another six years (assuming no early repayments).
Purchase assistance has been extremely cost effective in the previous years. City cõntribution to
the purchase assistance has been limited to $10,000 per household. This has been matched with up
to $15,000 of King County funds. FirstHomes clients are requiredto provide a down payment at a
minimum of two percent of the purchase price. 1\dditionally, FirstHomes clients receive
comprehensive homeownership education and counseling at no cost to the City.
Capacity of Applicant (to manage project and/or provide long-term operating support)
HomeSight has been providing first-time homebuyer education, counseling and loan assistance and
newly constructed homes (for sale) to low- and moderate-income buyers since 1990. Two years
ago, HomeSight expanded their program from Seattle to South King County and Snohomish
County. Since 1990, HomeSight has created ne~ly 600 new homeowners, constructed 171 homes
and has administered $6.3 million in buyer assistance loans. Nineteen new homeowners have been
assisted in Federal Way.

Project Description
This project will help provide financing for nine new first-time buyers in Federal Way who earn at
or below 80% of the King County median. The loan terms are three percent interest accrued
annually with deferred principle payment for seven years, with principle plus interest due
beginning in year eight. The loan amount offered is based upon the client's need. The range of
assistance varies between $10,000 and $25,000 per household with an average loan amount being
$23,000.
These funds will enhance the existing FirstHomes revolving loan fund where local funds are
matched with King County Housing Finance Program funds. In previous years, the Cities of
Federal Way, Kent, Auburn and Tukwila have funded this loan pool.
HomeSight provides education and counseling services for all FirstHomes clients (on campus at
Highline Community College and at HomeSight's office in Kent). These services are primarily
supported with private funds. Outreach to potential clients is made through a community-based
approach in cooperation with private lenders, real estate professionals and participating cities. '

Demonstrated Need and Effect of Project (including performance and outcome measures)
The Puget Sound area is recognized as the eighth most expensive real estate market in the country.
A household making $30,000 and paying five percent down has a purchase affordability of
$87,400. Only 400 homes (1%) in King County sold for this amount or less last year. Federal
Way's 1999 median home price was $176,500. To buy here, a household must earn $47,066 gross

2001 CDBG Application Summary
The application indicates that the main benefit of this project will be a consolidation of office
space for the agency and the new housing units produced. Due to CDBG regulations, grant funds
may only be used for programmatic office space (as opposed to general administrative space).
For the purposes of this grant request, there appears to be no additional or new services that will
be made possible by the project. There is mention of possible new programs in the future.
Fiscal Evaluation (including appropriate funding sources, cost-effectiveness, realistic expenditure levels)
The proposed funding package is uncommon, as the City of Federal Way has not funded a
project located in Seattle (a similarly structured application was received but not funded last
year). Neither do we know of a case where the City of Seattle has funded a project located in
Federal Way. While the applicant estimates that three percent of the clientele come from Federal
Way, the funding request equals less than one percent of the total budget.
The project budget is sound. The CDBG request is coming at the very beginning of the funding
process. No other public funding sources have been secured at this time. To facilitate the
process, HSDC has hired Common Ground, a nonprofit development consultant, who has
extensive background in managing CDBG funded development projects.
Capacity of Applicant (to manage project and/or provide long-term operating support)
HSDC has been operating as a non-profit in the Seattle area for almost 50 years. Significant
operating revenue is generated through the agency's fee-based services and their retail store.
While they have no background in real estate development or property management, they have
hired respected development consultants and management firms for the construction and long-
term operation of the new housing and office space.

Project Description
Grant funds are requested for new construction of a mixed use bu~lding in downtown Seattle that
will include 30,000 square feet of program, office and retail space for the Hearing Speech and
Deafness Center. Above will be five floors of affordable housing for households between 30 and
80 percent of the median income range. The project includes 150 underground parking stalls.
The housing portion ofthis project is proposed to be funded by the Washington State Housing
Finance Commission Low Income Housing Tax Credit program. HSDC will demolish and
rebuild on 1.4 acres of property where the HSDC has been located for the past 37 years. 1\s per
CDBG regulations, grant funds can only be used for the construction of the programmatic office
space.
Services that will be provided from this location include the Audiology program, Speech -
Language Pathology Program, the HSDC retail store, Parent Infant Program, Training
Assessment and Placement Program, Community Education and Training, as well as the
possibility of a new child care program and physical and occupational therapy program.
If successful in receiving funding, the applicant believes this project can be complete by April
2002.
Feasibility
Demonstrated Need and Effect of Project (including performance and outcome measures)
The key point of consideration is how this project will benefit residents of the City of Federal
Way. The application indicates that three percent of the overall client load resides in Federal
Way. When asked to describe the source of this information, the applicant responded that client
residence was pulled from the agency's 1999 client database. The applicant is seeking to match
the funding sources for the project to the clientele base. They have applied to the Cities of
Seattle, Bellevue, and six other smaller suburban cities in King C~unty.

market. Project costs are also affected by the City's zoning code, which requires that transitional
housing units be placed over 1,000 feet away from any existing transitional housing unit. The
2001 request is based upon the assumption that the next condominium unit will have to be located
in an area of Federal Way outside of the Pac Highway corridor - where average acquisition costs
will be higher. The benefit of purchasing a newer, higher priced unit will be a probable reduction
in FUSION's annual maintenance costs.
Capacity of Applicant (to manage project and/or provide long-term operating support)
FUSION is volunteer-run agency. As additional units are added to the agency's portfolio, concern
increases regarding the capacity of the agency to raise annual operating funds to support each unit.
Those costs include operating and maintenance expenses for each unit, and a contract with South
King County YWCA for case management. This is not a yet a major concern as the agency has
been operating five units without difficulty for the past two years. 1\dditionally, if the unit
purchased with 2001 funds is fairly new, the burden of extra maintenance costs should be minimal
for the foreseeable future.

Project Description
This project will assist FUSION in acquiring one condominium unit in Federal Way. The unit will
be used to provide no cost transitional housing (including rent, utilities, and telephone) as a bridge
between emergency housing and public housing for women and their young children. These
families are screened and placed by the South King County YWC1\ and can stay for a period of six
months to one year. The goal of the program is to assist these families in achieving self-
sufficiency by providing no cost housing and other services as needed. This will be the sixth
condominium to serve as a temporary home for women and their children. All units are located in
Federal Way. The YWCA provides the case management for the program. Five to ten eligible
families are screened for every opening in these units during the year.
Iffunded, FUSION will locate and purchase the condominium by mid- to late-200l.
Feasibility
Demonstrated Need and Effect of Project (including performance and outcome measures)
Even with public assistance from the State, homeless [amilies are still unable to afford housing-
up to seventy percent of newly homeless families in the state are already receiving public
assistance. The FUSION housing unit allows recently homeless Federal Way families to stay in
the area while the parent works to find stable employment. After five years in operation, there has
not been a vacancy at any of the five FUSION units for a period longer than two weeks.
Fiscal Evaluation (including appropriate funding sources, cost-effectiveness, realistic expenditure
levels)
FUSION's requested amount was based upon discussion with City staff and a local real estate
professional. In previous years (1995 to 1998), FUSION has been able to find condominiums in
Federal Way selling for approximately $50,000. This is no longer possible in today's real estate

Regarding cost-effectiveness, the application states that 55 children will be served with the funds
requested ($1,073 per child), but does not provide information on the level of services to be
provided to those residents, such as the number of child care days or hours provided. Without
information on the level of services to be provided, it is difficult to assess cost-effectiveness of the
program and the value that the City will receive for the funds requested. The agency has been
asked to estimate the number of childcare days or hours to be provided in 2001. The City's 2000
CDBG contract with this agency is for $50,280 to serve 35 children, which is $1,437 per child.
The funds requested from the City represent 89 percent of the program budget and Federal Way
residents represent 100 percent of the caseload.

OVERVIEW
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GR1\NT
INTRODUCTION
The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development's
(HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program
provides an annual grant to entitled cities and counties. The
purpose of this grant is to help develop viable urban communities
by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and
by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and
moderate-income persons.
The City of Federal Way receives its CDBG allocation through the
King County CDBG Consortium. The allocation is b~d upon the
City's population and percentage share of low- and moderate
income individuals. The City implements programs by contracting
for services with its own departments Qr through area non-profit
agencIes.
-
NAllONAL OBJECTIVES
The Community Development Block Grant can be used to carry
out a wide range of community development activities directed
toward revitalizing neighborhoods, economic development, and
providing improved community facilities and public services.
The City funds CDBG programs by means of an annual application
process. Each project or program proposal is measured against
locally established goals and three nationally established
objectives. The national objectives support activities that:
.
Benefit low- and moderate-income persons;
Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or
~eet other community development needs having a particular
urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and
immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community
where other financial resources are not available to meet such
ne~ds (i.e. disaster recovery relief).
.
.
In general, the City of Federal Way does not exhibit the
characteristics necessary for a project to be justified under the
second or third objectives. Therefore, the vast majority of the
City's CDBG projects are justified undçr the first Qbjective of low-
and moderate-income benefit. -

Code of Federal Regulations Title 24, Part 570 (24 CFR 570)
ELIGIBLE ACTlVmES
IMPLEMENTlON OF
ACTlVm ES
EXAMPLES
The criteria for how an activity may be considered to benefit low-
and moderate-income persons are divided into four subcategories:
.
Those involving area benefit,
Those serving a limited clientele (i.e. the disabled or elderly),
Those involving housing, and
Those involvingjob creation or retention.
.
.
.
Once a project meets a national objective, it must also qualify as an
eligible activity under local and federal requirements. CDBG
funds may be used for activities that include, but are not limited to:
.
Acquisition, disposition, or clearance of real property;
Rehabilitation of residential and non-residential structures;
Construction of public facilities and improvements, such as
water and sewer facilities, streets, and neighborhood centers;
Direct human services; -
Homeownership assistance programs;
Activities relating to energy conservation and renewable
energy resources, and
1\ssistance to for-profit businesses to carry out neighborhood
economic development or job creation or retention activities.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The City, as a CDBG recipient, can undertake activities directly, or
can identify a sub-recipient to undertake activities. Sub-recipients
are public or private non-profit agencies, authorities, or
organizations. CDBG assistance to private for-profit businesses is
allowed with the addition of an extra level of regulatory scrutiny
and performance reporting. Exceptions to this rule include aid
given to microenterprises (businesses employing less than five
persons) and exterior rehabilitation of commercial buildings.
Since Federal Way incorporated, a wide variety of programs and
projects have benefited from complete or partial CDBG funding.

HOUSING 1\ND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
FOUR-YEAR STRATEGIES, 2000-2003
The Housing and Community Development Four-Year Strategies evolved from the 1993
Community Development Block Grant (COB G) Local Program Policies. The strategies were
developed in 1994 and updated in 1995. At that time they were given a four-year term, from
1996 to 1999. They were revisited in 1998 and again in 1999. In May 1999, the strategies were
renewed for another four year term, 2000 to 2003. These strategies provide guidelines for the
allocation ofCDBG funds and are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan developed
under the Growth ~anagement Act and the Human Services Comprehensive Plan.
GOAL STATEMENT
Service needs for City residents far outweigh the availability of resources. As a relatively newly
incorporated jurisdiction with a large and diverse population, the City is faced with the challenge
of providing services that address needs in the areas of affordable and special needs housing,
human services and community development.
The City will use COBG funds to develop a viable community in which quality of life is
enhanced by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and by expanding
economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income persons.
OBJECTIVES
)0> To fund projects which address local needs and strategies
)0> To ensure that the basic human service needs of low- and moderate-income persons are
addressed
)0> To adequately address the City's housing needs to accommodate projected growth in low-
and moderate-income households, as well as senior and special needs populations
)0> To preserve the existing housing stock
)0> To stimulate economic development and strengthen the City's infrastructure
Four- Year Strategies
Page 2 of 5
NEEDS
The City of Federal Way has identified housing and non-housing community development needs
through public involvement activities, studies, needs assessments, and planning processes.
1. Public and Community Facilities Improvements - Senior and Community Centers, Child
Care Centers, Parks and Recreation Facilities, and Health and Social Services Facilities
which predominantly serve low- and moderate-income persons and address severe health and
safety problems.
2. Housing - Affordable housing for low- and moderate-income people, seniors, special needs
populations, transitional housing and emergency shelters, and preservation of existing
housing stock.
3. Accessibility - ~odifications to community facilities and existing structures to remove
barriers and improve safety conditions especially for elderly and disabled persons.
4. Infrastructure Improvement - Neighborhood revitalization projects such as Surface Water
Improvements, Street, Sidewalk and Pedestrian Crossing Improvements, Transportation
Improvements, and Street Lighting.
5. Public Services - Projects which meet the following City Council human services goals:
}> support basic human needs through funding of emergency services;
}> support a strong service delivery system that increases public safety;
}> provides support that supplements federal, state, and county programs designed to
increase self-sufficiency and independence; and
}> support service models that improve community-based collaboration and build strong
neighborhoods.
6. Planning and Administration - CDBG Program staffing and administration, planning for
affordable housing resource development and potential annexation areas.

STRATEGIES
The City of Federal Way adopts the following three strategies to guide funding decisions for the
annual Community Development Block Grant allocation.
Strategy #1
Develop a range of housing opportunities aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing to
accommodate the projected growth in low- and moderate-income households. Create housing
opportunities for seniors, youth, special needs groups and impact the availability of transitional
housing and emergency shelters.
~ Activity 1
Preservation of housing stock in existing neighborhoods has been cited as an important
community value in Federal Way, one which played a large role in the commu!.lity's
decision to incorporate. The City will maintain a Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Grant
Program to maintain health and safety standards in the homes of low- and moderate-
income households and persons with disabilities.
~ Activity 2
According to established service providers, suburban homelessness is increasing. There is
a limited supply oftransitional and emergency shelter facilities in South King County to
meet this overwhelming need. The City will continue to support local and regional
shelter and transitional housing service providers. The City will encourage and support
more homelessness prevention services, including youth shelter services.
~ Activity 3
The City will explore a variety of methods to increase the supply of affordable housing
for low- and moderate-income families. The City will:
. Consider participating in a South King County regional entity to address housing
needs.
. Assess the value of pooling technical resources between jurisdictions to assist in the
development and implementation of housing policies and programs.
. Look at the benefits of collaborative efforts to coordinate local government money
and resources in a way that will attract greater private and not-for-profit investment
into affordable housing.
. Consider funding homeownership programs such as down payment assistance, sweat
equity, homebuyer education, community land trust or those that reduce development
costs or reduce mortgages.

F our- Year Strategies
Page 4 of 5
Strategy #2
Prioritize and fund projects that strengthen the City's infrastructure and stimulate economic
development. Fifteen percent (15%) of the annual CDBG allocation will be targeted toward
projects categorized under this strategy.
~ Activity 1
The City will seek opportunities for public funding of capital facilities, services and
infrastructure by working with the Human Services Commission, and soliciting input

Legislative Agenda and Position Paper
20001 Legislative Session
General Policy
The City of Federal Way supports state legislative efforts to establish broad, cost-effective policies for local government
structure, financing, and service delivery systems; combined with adequate l1exibitity for localgovemments to adapt their
structures. finances. and service delivery systems to unique local conditions. These efforts must be focused on
eliminating duplicate services and preserving local control over service delivery. The City also supports legislation wRiGA I
that enhances local flexibility to address issues of local concern. The City opposes legislation which mandates increased
local costs or which results in an inappropriate diminution of local authority over local affairs.
General local Government
Home Rule
The City of Federal Way strongly supports the adoption of a constitutional home rule amendment whiGR-that would I
guarantee decision-making authority for local matters at the local level. The City also urges the legislature to refrain from
enacting legislation that adversely impacts the concept of local self-government or restricts the ability of cities and towns
to exercise existing power.
Mandates
All local governments have been impacted by the elimination and reduction of various federal domestic aid programs.
Changes at the state level have also affected local government revenue options. Equally important are the growing
number of mandates passed from the federal and state governments to local governments; mandateswRiGA-thatar&do I
not have accompaniedyjng by additional resources, Delivering public services requires a strong state-local partnership,
and local revenue needs must be recognized when new programs are enacted or if the state revenue system is
restructured.
As directed by Initiative 62 (RCW 43.135.060), Federal Way strongly urges the legislature to cease imposition of
additional financial or operating burdens on cities unless such mandates are compelled by 3R o'JerÄdiRIiJ &tate iAteroot I
and are accompanied by financial resources to accommodate the costs of compliance.
Amended 9/00
Public Records
Federal Way firmly supports the right of the public to have access to the records and operations of local government
The City supports legislation to define the calculation of cost recovery fees for records retrieval from municipal electronic
information systems.
Interlocal Aareements
Federal Way supports eliminatinQ the requirement that interlocal aQreements be filed with county auditors. Aareements
are already recorded with all siQnatorv Qovernments and can be obtained via a public records request
Adopted 9/00
Advisory Boards
Federal Way supports clarifying the ability of city council-appointed advisory boards to analyze the impacts of ballot
propositions and make recommendations to city councils. Although city councils are allowed to take positions on baIot
propositions, the advisory boards upon which they frequently rely for analysis and advice appear to be inadvertently
preempted from providing analysis and advice in these matters.
Adopted 9/99

Amended 9/99, 9/00
Electronic Commerce
Federal Way supports efføFt6Ieaislation to develop a taxation system for electronic commerce that ensures a level I
playing field for electronic and non-electronic businesses.
Adopted 9/99
State Tax Roll Back/Expenditure Limitation Efforts
Federal Way receives significant support from state-conected, Iocally-shared revenues. As such, the City opposes
efføft&-Ieaislation tathat altef'§ state fiscal operations unless they enhance City receivoorevenues. I
Sales Tax Non-Remittance Penalties
The City supports allocating sales tax non-remittance penalties to all affected jurisdictions using the same
proportional allocation system that is used for distribution of regular sales tax collections.
Adopted 9/99
Criminal Justice Fundina Allocations
Federal Way suPPOrts eliminatina the reQuirement that cities submit a orant application in order to receive General
Fund Municipal Criminal Justice Account anocations. The sianificant reduction in the allocation, caused by Initiative
695. has further reduced the cost-benefit of the application process.
In addition, the City suPPOrts eliminatina the separate allocation to cities that contract for a majority of their law
enforcement. as every citv must fund law enforcement reaardless whether the services are provided in-house or by
conuact .
Adopted 9/00
Continuation of Grant Programs
Federal Way opposes any erosion in its financing sources and strongly encourages the Legislature to maintain
Criminal Justice Funding and other grant programs whiGh-that support local program operation, I
Local Finance
Sales Tax Exemption for Parks and Cultural Arts Facilities Construction
Labor costs for the construction of road, sueet, and trails projects are currently exemptfrom state and local option
sales taxes, Federal Way supports extending this exemption to all public capital improvement projects. I
Amended 9/00
Voted Excess Levy for Capital Improvement Bonds
Municipalities should be authorized to seek voter approval for an excess property tax leVy to fund capital facilities
projects. The levy could be used for projects on a pay as you go basis or for debt service on bonds. The levy would
not be tied to one project, but could be used to realize any of the projects in the adopted facilities plan. The bonds
would be unlimited general obligations of the City. Voter approval would be by simple majority. Benefits of this
option include the development of a comprehensive community tax policy to deal with its infrastructure needs using
a multi-year business plan approach.
Voter Registration Maintenance Costs
State law presently aUows counties to charge cities to maintain voter registration records. This law, passed in 1987,
when the counties took over voter registration from the cities, did not include a sunset provision to eliminate the
charge when the transition was complete. Furthermo.re, these charges are not uniform, ranging from $.22 to $1.55
per voter. State law does set a $.30 maximum charge for smaller cities, but does not specify a charge for larger
cities, King County conects over $1 million in voter maintenance fees each year, which should more than cover the
cost of minor data entry changes. Federal Way supports legislative changes whiGh-to wewlGstandardize this charge I
in a manner wRiGR-that accurately reflects the cost of maintaining voter records.
Economic Deve/ooment
Economic Development Funding Sources and Incéntives
Federal Way supports new funding sources for local economic development, accompanied by significant latitude in
the use of funds and incentives. -to allew-help cities to meet diverse local economic development needs. I
Amended 9/00
Tax Increment Financing
Tax increment financing allows cities to pay for the infrastructure costs related to development or redevelopment
projects by earmarking the tax revenues attributable to the increase in tax receipts over cùirent receipts in the
2
apportionment district. The tax increment would be dedicated to paying the debt service on the bonds issued. Mar
the bonds have been retired, the tax increment would be distributed in the same manner as other non-increment
property taxes. The overriding benefit of tax increment financing districts would be to facilitate quality and
comprehensive developmen~ and redevelopment of our community, Federal Way thus supports effGft6\eaislation I
to amend the state constitution as necessary to accomplish a tax increment financing program.
Economic Development Partnerships
Federal Way supports government partnerships with the private sector for the purposes of promoting quality
governmental services and economic Vitality.
Personnel and Labor Relations
Civil Service Reform
Federal Way supports civil service reform for police officers that allows cities to streamline hiring processes, diversify
workforces, and recruit, retain, terminate and reward employees.
Police and Fire Arbitration
Federal Way supports legislation that would mandate that arbitrators in binding interest arbitration with police and fire
personnel te consider the following factors in making an award: a) the citY.s financial ability to meet the costs of the I
contract, gMng due consideration and weight to other competing city services and priorities as determined by the City
Cou ncil; b) local labor market conditions, c) internal equity with other city employees, and d) efforts by new organizations
to move away from traditional methods of compensation in favor of innovative compensation strategies (such as
incentive pay). -
The City also supports leaislation to amend interest arbitration statutes and mandate final offer arbitratíon,
Amended 9/00
Limit Liability for Reference Checks
The City supports legislation that would provide local governments with immunity from civil liability for disclosing
information about an employee:s job performance during a reference check. I
Prevailing Wage
The City of Federal Way supports legislation to clarify that maintenance activities performed by contract, like those
performed by regular employees, are exempt from prevailing wage requirements. Current law creates a disincentive for
the use of contracting by local government entities.
Land Use and Community Development
Special Purpose Districts
rlAssumption of Special Purpose Districts
The existence of multiple urban service providers inside urbanized areas is inconsistent with the values of the
Growth Management Act, which states that cities are the appropriate providers of urban services in these areas.
The City therefore supports continued legislativeon effeFt&-to simplify and clarify the circumstances under which a I
city may dissolve and assume the functions of a special purpose district, and opposes any effarts teleaislation that
diminishes that authority of cities 8-especiaUy within city Nmits and potential annexation areas.
Amended 9/99
Capital Facilities Planning
Federal Way supports Legislative measures to ensure that special purpose districts and ports are required to
prepare capital facilities plans on a regular basis that are consistent with the planning done by cities and counties.
Growth Manaaement
Growth Management Act
Federal Way endorses the Growth Management Act (GMA) as an essential and responsible planning tool.
However, the Act creates challenges for the state, county and cities. To meet these challenges, the Legislature I
must continue to monitor the efforts of local agencies, and address any necessary additional refinements to the M
in an effective and timely manner. _Such refinements may include clarification of the role and responsibilities of the I
state and regional governments in developing policies and capital plans in conformance with locally adopted
com prehensive plans, assuring the adequacy of funding sources to provide adequate infrastructure, urban sefVices,
housing and employment opportunities within urban growth areas. The Legislature must a~Q act to provide and I
maintain sufficient time, technical and financial resources to cities completing 'growth management planning.

Amended 9/00
Land Use Decisions and Permitting
Federal Way supports legislation that further defines, coordinates, simplifies and slreamines land use decisions and
permitting under the GMA as weft as under the State Environmental Poficy Act and the Shorelines Management
Act. Such legislation should balance the benefits of statewide uniformity with the need for local communities to
govern themselves.
rlHouslng Targets/Buildable Lands
Federal Way strongly opposes efført6-tøIeaisiation that break,!! GMA twenty-year housing targets into smaller time
intervals, i.e.. annual tamets, as well as effartG toleaislation that hold§ cities responsible for housing market
performance rather than the content of their comprehensive plans. The City also opposes the imposition of
additional reporting requirements under the buildable lands review and evaluation program that are not
accompanied by requisite funding.
Adopted 9/99, Amended 9/00
Growth Management Hearings Boards
Federal Way supports legislation recognizing the need for local flexibifrty in effectively implementing the GMA and
requiring Growth Management Hearings Boards to defer to local decisions, poficies and processes implementing
the goals of the GMA when these actions are otherwise consistent with the GMA
Boundary Review Boards
The City supports elimination of Boundary Review Boards. These non-elected boards have bEten rendered
obsolete by Potential Annexation Area (PM) planning under the GMA -
Shorelines Management Act
The City supports continued effeFls legislation to integrate shoreline management planning into local I
comprehensive plans and eliminate the requirement for separate shoreline master plans. Separate state-level
shoreline use permits should also be eliminated in favor of permits issued by cities in accordance with approved
plans.
Amended 9/99
rlGMA Impact Fees
Federal Way supports continued local authority to collect GMA-based impact fees at the time a subdivision is
approved or building permit is issued.
Adopted 9/99
Technical Amendments to Comprehensive Plans
Federal Way supports legislation authorizing GMA-planning cities to adopt technical amendments to their GMA
plans and regulations more than once a year.
Annexation Law
Federal Way supports current state law regarding annexations. The City also supports retention of city authority to
review the impacts of an annexation on the overall operation of the City and to make the final determination
regarding acceptance of petitions for annexation. The City supports legislation that would reduce boundary
adjustment requirements, clarify franchise relationships between trash and garbage haulers. expedite transfer of
property tax from the County to the City, and provide direction for land use and permitting functions in newly
annexed areas.
Building Code Council Jurisdiction
Federal Way supports continued State Building Codes Council jurisdiction over the Uniform Building Code, Plumbing
Code, Mechanical Code. Fire Code, and other state codes now under its jurisdiction.
Adopted 9/99
Land Use Dispute Resolution
Federal Way supports practical solutions to private property disputes that address specific concerns of proper.y owners.
including regulatory reform if necessary. These solutions should not alter the Constitutional definition of takings, place an
undue financial burden on taxpayers, or diminish local governments: ability to protect the public health, safety and I
welfare of their communities.

Forest Permits
The Department of Natural Resources is presenUy authorized to issue Class II and Class III Forest Practice Permits,
which allow logging without review by municipal authorities within urbanized areas contain~ within city limits or
designated urban growth boundaries. Class IV permits, however, do require municipal authority review. The past
practice of issuing these permits has precluded city governments from providing appropriate controls to deal with the
erosion and sedimentation in those permitted areas. Ñ3 well, the uncontrolled logging of parcels within an urban area
has precluded local government from providing regulations to help ensure that the property properly transitions into
appropriate urban development I
I
Therefore, ~ederal Way supports state legislafive effaFtß 19 on that requir~ that all forest Practice Permits issued within
the city limits or within the designated urban growth boundary be subject to the same local government review process
now provided in the consideration and issuance of Class IV Forest Practice Permits. Alternatively, cities should be
allowed to adopt and enforce land clearing, significant tree protection and related issues for Class II and III forest permits.
Social and Human Services
Support for Human Services
Federal Way supports legislative action that will maintain support for human service programs induding thosewRiGR-that I
may be delegated to the state from the Federal Government Such legislative action should ensure appropriate local
government input into development of block grant dispersal regulations or procedures and into development of any new
processes to assist or support low-income, high-need populations.

DUI Laws and Cost Recovery
The City supports continued legislation to strengthen DUllaws. includina leaislation to make a third DUI offense a
felony. Federal Way also supports legislation to allow recovery of necessary public expenses, including detention
costs, which result from incidents involving impair-ed dFMRfJDUI convictions.

Adopted 9/99
Card Room and Liquor Licenses Application Processes I
Federal Way strongly supports any effoFls toleaislation that make§ the commercial ¡quor icense and hou~nked
card room license application processes mOre accessible to the public. A public hearing process would improve
access by the community and would encourage greater input and comment from all interested parties. In addition,
license applications should be made available for public inspection and subsequent written comment at the local
government level.
Amended 9/99
Liquor Control Board Review and Restructuring
The state should conduct a performance evaluation and/QLaudit of the liquor control board as it relates to its
mission of regulating liquor for the sake of our &tate-:sstate's communities. The Legislature should
restructure/reaffirm Uquor Control Board as mandated by the evaluation and/or audit.
Adult Entertainment
The City supports model ordinance legislation for adult entertainment consistent with the provisions of Federal
Way-:sWay's adult entertainment ordinance which have been sustained through numerous court appeals. I
Adult Retail
Federal Way supports authorizing local governments to minimize the negative secondary impacts of adult retail
establishments on their communities by adopting strict requirements for' location and hours of operation.
Secondary impacts have been documented by a number of studies and include increased criminal value,
diminished neighborhood character, and downward pressure on property values.
Law Enforcement Issues
Local Law Enforcement Authority
Federal Way opposes legislation and/or other efforts to remove the authority of municipalities to provide local law
enforcement services, including special services, regardless of the potential for service contracting. The City also
opposes actions or legislation wRiGRthat would transfer incarceration responsibilities from the state or county to I
municipalities without additional funding.
Police OffICer Jurisdiction
Federal Way supports effeRsIeaisiation to allow ponce officers to enforce the state:s laws anywhere in the state. This I
would reduce the liability for cities with officers who assist with incidents outside the citY.s borders. As it stands now,
jurisdictions must exchange letters giving consent to officers to enforce law outside of their jurisdictions.
Amended 9/99
Public Safety Personnel Privacy
Federal Way supports efføRs/eaisiation to protect the identities of public safety personnel by eliminating public I
disclosure requirements for names and addresses, allowing private entities such as crecflt agencies to withhold
names and addresses without prior consent of the individual, and allowing such individuals to register personal
vehicles at their places of employment
Adopted 9/99

Disposition Standards for Juvenile Offenders
Federal Way supports legislation revising the currentjuvenHe disposition standards to provide sCronger sanctions for
chronic, misdemeanor behavior for juvenße offenders and to permit the court greater discretion to impose detenion
or some form of secure treatment in cases of juvenile offenders who have prior criminal history.
Emergency Communications
Federal Way opposes the creation of aan E-311 non-emergency communications system. Rather, efforts sho¡jd be I
made to further educate the community about the use of the existing E-911 system and existing 7 -digit non-emergeocy
lines.
Empty Chair Defense
Federal Way supports legislative action related to tort reform to clarify that the defendant should not be required to
mandatorily join all potentia' "at fault" entities into litigation, or have to risk losing the ability to apportion fault to the Ulird
party(s). Any move to the contrary would inappropriately shift the burden of proof from the plaintiff to the defendant in
proving fault.
Public Works, Parks. and Environment
TransDortation Issues
tl Transportation Funding Reform
Federal Way supports continued reform of state funding for transportation to include a broad rarTge of funcing
solutions able to address traffic congestion, growth and High Capacity Transit alternatives. Such reform should
seek funding sources, which will be dedicated to major local transportation projects, keep up with inflation. and
provide ~es with local option revenue authority for the expansion, maintenance and operation of local I
transportation systems.
C*) Deslon-Build Authority
Federal Way suPPOrts reauthorization of the desicn-build and ceneral contractor / construction manacer (GC,CM)
procedures for major caDitaI projects. and suPPOrts reducinc the population and project value thresholds to 50,000
and $5 million, resoectivelv.
Adopted 9/00
Public Works Project Definition
The City supports defining small public works projects as those costing less than $100,000 and exempting such
projects from the state:s Public Works Projects definition. The current definition of small public works projects is I
easily confused and is applied inconsistently across different local jurisdictions.
Public Works Trust Fund
The Public Works Trust Fund (PWTF) benefits many local governments with dependable, long term funding for
repair and reconstruction of local public works systems. The legislature is now required to approve an annual 1st of
projects, but has never deleted a project recommended by the Public Works Board. Federal Way supports
continued allocation of funds to the PWTF and supports elimination of the legislative approval requirement I
Expediting the approval process would facilitate the construction of these projects by the summer construction
season. Federal Way opposes attempts to divert PWTF funds and other local caDital fundina sources to ororects
not selected throuch the competitive apolication process.

Amended 9/00
Water Resource Management
Addressing water resource management issues will require increased intergovernmental coordination among local
and regional governments and the state. Federal Way supports continued state financial assistance for water
supply, wastewater management, groundwater protection, and storm and surface water facilities and programs.
These programs are especially important in complying with state and federal water quality standards (NPDES,
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System), The City also supports retention of the authority of local water
districts to manage their assets, participating in regional planning as appropriate, to provide and protect for the
current and future water needs of their customers,
Flood Damage Reduction
Federal Way contains a number of flood prone areas, both developed and undeveloped which require specialized
planning. Recent proposed flood damage reduction legislation was flawed, partially due to the fact that is was based
on an overall floodway approach, which does not consider aU flood prone areas in the state. The City supports
comprehensive flood damage prevention planning accomplished at the local level as a partnership among impacted
cities, the county, state and affected area interests. Each flood prone area is unique and should be planned for
accordingly. Locally developed and adopted flood damage protection plans must seek to establish a balance
between the need for appropriately designed growth and the need to reduce further flood damage.
Parks and Open Space
Federal Way encourages effoftsIeaisiation to secure state support for parks and open space projects as outlined in local I
plans. This support should indude legislation to exempt public park and public cultural arts facility construction from
state and local option sales taxes. '

Electric Industry Regulation
Federal Way supports energy utility regulation based on the following principles: a) Local governments should retain the
authority to manage industry facilities within the public right of way and the authority to tax the utility providers, b)
Electricity service should be available to customers at prices that are reasonable and affordable, c) A non-economic
