APPROVAL OF SUMMARY
The April 10, 2000 summary was approved as written.
BUSINESS ITEMS
PUBLIC SAFETY PRESENTATION
A presentation was held honoring Detective Frank Cortez for his contribution to law enforcement. Jim McCarty of
the Federal Protective Services presented a plaque to Detective Cortez. Charles Mandigo, special agent with the FBI,
spoke about the privilege of working with Cortez.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRESENTATION
Diane Gellegos with Habitat for Humanity gave a brief summary of her organization, which is a non-profit group
working in partnership with families, cities, churches, and the community, to provide affordable housing. A duplex is
currently under construction on 3081& Street that will house two families. Volunteers construct the homes and the
families also put in approximately 500 hours of work before they move in. Habitat for Humanity holds the no interest
mortgage. The three criteria used in selecting families includes I) the need of the family, the housing they currently
live in; 2) their ability to partner - can they volunteer 500 hours? and 3) whether they can afford the mortgage.
Dororthy Lengyel gave a presentation on Home Sight, which has helped over 500 people become home owners.
Their clients are primarily from the 50-100% of median income level ($60,OOO/year for a family of four). The
organization uses standard criteria for selecting clients. They offer classes and one-on-one counseling to help clients
with fmancial management. Westway was the basis for the beginning of their work in Federal Way. HUD asked
them to purchase a six-plex unit trom them, which had deteriorated. Home Sight renovated the unit at a cost of
$40,000 per unit. Ms. Lengyel showed committee members other projects that have been completed.
2001 CDBG PASS-THROUGH ACCEPTANCE
Mr. Parker reported that as part of the City's joint agreement with the King County Community Development Block

AGREEMENT/SACAJAWEA PARK SPORTS FIELD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Ms. Schroder reported that the Sacajawea Sports Field Improvement Project involves the renovation of the existing
natural grass field to a new synthetic turf-playing surface. The project budget, including the lAC grant funds of
$150,000, is $565,000. This is a joint project between the City of Federal way, Federal Way School District and the
Federal Way Youth Soccer Association. On April 18, 2000, Council authorized the project for public bid. The
agreement acknowledges each party's fmancial contribution and responsibilities for the project. The ongoing
responsibilities for the City in the area of maintenance and scheduling of the field reflect the current and past
practices between the City and the other parties. The agreement, however, does emphasize that should this field in
the future be improved by adding lights, the City reserves its right to schedule evening usage as a lust priority.
DEAN MCCOLGAN MOVED, JEANNE BURBIDGE SECONDED A MOTION TO APPROVE
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
FEDERAL WAY, FEDERAL WAY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE FEDERAL WAY YOUTH SOCCER
ASSOCIATION FOR THE SACAJAWEA PARK SPORTS FIELD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. MOTION
PASSED.
PARK PROPERTY PUBLICIPRIV A TE PARTNERSHIPS
Ms. Schroder noted that over the course of the City!s history, the department has received proposals for public/private
partnerships. Most recently, over the last year, Ms. Schroder was contacted by organizations interested in building,
on public property, ice arenas, an indoor soccer facility and a batting cage. Although the.Parks, Recreation and Open
Space Comprehensive Plan identifies the support for similar facilities, it does not include an evaluation or review of
the existing inventory for potential public/private site suitability. The Parks and Recreation Commission's work plan
includes recommending to City Council the parks Capital Facility Plan for 2001/2002 as part of the commission CIP
review. Staff would like to work with the commission to review the current inventory of parks for potential site
suitability for public/private partnerships. The outcome will provide the City with a proactive plan to respond ~o
future inquiries and/or provide the framework to conduct a request for proposal to initiate interest in public/private
partnerships with the City.
RESOLUTION/ AOUA TIC LANDS ENHANCEMENT ACCOUNT
Ms. Schroder reported on the Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA). The purpose of ALEA is for aquatic
lands enhancement projects, for the purchase, improvement or protection of aquatic lands for public purposes and for
providing and improving access to such lands. In this grant cycle, the ALEA grant program is emphasizing habitai
protec\ion and restoration projects. Projects approved during this grant cycle will receive funds during the 2001-2003
biennium (July 1,2000 to June 30, 2003). The Dumas Bay Centre property experiences significant erosion yearly to
its sandy banks. The erosion to some extent is contributed to the ongoing tide action, but more visibly, erosion is
occurring from the southwest portion of the site's asphalt areas. The surface water runoff from this area caused a
significant section of the bank to erode in 1996. As a result of the erosion that occurred, the fence on top of the bank
directly behind the gazebo was moved by approximately 10 feet.
Parks, Recreation, Human Services & Public Safety Council Conunittee
May 8, 2000 Summary
Page Three
The project scope proposed is to remove existing asphalt and increase storm water infiltration to reduce erosion and
help protect the existing aquatic habitat in Dumas Bay. A preliminary cost estimate to remove the asphalt and restore
the areas in the southwest section of the site is $500,000 including A&E, 20% contingency and sales tax. The grant
match requirement is 50% or $250,000.
Applications are due June 1,2000. A resolution authorizing the application is required. Staff recommends
submitting the Dumas Bay Restoration project for ALEA funding. The City's 50% matching share for the project
will be considered as part of the City's 2001/2002 biennium budget.

Business Registrarion RenewallEnfoccemcnt Process
Subject:
This memorandum will provide Council information and a reCOII1JJlâldation on business rcgisaatioD
enforcement options. Under the City's current cade (FWCC, Article IT Registration) violators are subjecl
to both civil and criminal penalties foe non-registration or non-renewal of existing registcarioJlS.
BnçkerfJund;
The CÍ[y adopted its business registration regulation in 1991 to allow the City to determine whether a
proposed business location was in compliance with the City's land use designations, and to detennine
whether or not a business registration should be:: issued based upon denial criteria set forth in the Çode.
The registration fees and late p~nalties were set at a minimum level to recover the cost of administering
the program. The fee was initially sel at $15 for both new registrations and renewals and raised to S2S
for renewals and $50 for new registrations in 1999. The Code also prescn"bes that the annual renewal is
due and payable on January 1 of eacb year, and a business is deemed delinquent on Febroary 1. The
delinquent pcnalty kicks in at the same time at 5% of the renewal fee, or $1.25, which is increased by 5%
per month, but not to exceed 20% of the fee, or $5 in total. Neither the fee nor the late penalty provides
sufficiönt motivation for businesses to comply.
In 1996, staff recommended, and Council Finance Committee approved, that me City proceed with using
the civil penalty provision provided in the Code and to 8$sess a $200 fine against those:: businesses who
do not renew their registrations after two written notifications 31ld one teJepbonè contact. The pUIpOSC
for the telephone contact is to verify the business is still active. However, it is not always possible to
establish the statUs of the business aff111I1anvely through the process. The administrative procedure
approved by Council provides for progressive action every two montl1s -- to issue the first delinquent
notice at the end of February (60 days tram the date the registration fee first be::comcs due), second notice
in April, and phone contact in June witb the $200 civil penalty notice sent [0 businesses in July by
certified mail (0 those businesses Wè believe are in operation. Criminal citation or prosecution is
considered to be (he Jase resort.
Options:
After a review of me current procedure by Law, Public Safety and Management Services DeparonenI5,
the follo\'ving options are identified for Council to consider:
A. Do nothing, and leave me Code language "as is" allowing for both civil and criminal options;
B. Change the Code to allow only civil enforcement (civil fIne up to $5,000 - delete FWCC §9- 27(a»;
C. Change the Code [0 allow only criminal enforcement (criminal fIDe up to $5,000 and/or up to 6
months in jail time - delete FWCC §9-27(b»);
D, Maintain the Code's civil aI1d criminal options subject to the following:
1. Implement an administrativc process consistent with prior Council direction, with defmitivc
rimelines during which period no criminal enforcement will apply;
1. Amend FWCC ~9-27 to decriminalize failure TO obtain a business registration until on or after
J July 1 of each year to allow staff to implement the administrative norice process set f0l1h in
Scction 1;
3. Upon exhaustlon of the six-month administrative process, a lean wilJ be Sent from the

ProsecutOr's Office providing that iftb.~ busines:¡ owner docs not comply (obtain registration

subject to an additional fine of up to S5,000 and up to 6 months injail;
5. Prosecutor will then review cases for consideration of criminal.
Stf!fJ RecolJl1nen(/oûoll:
Staff recommends Option D for these reasons:
. We feel the City should preserve the flexibility of criminal enforccmellL However, this option would
only be used in the mOst egregious cas~s wh~ the business owner has failed to comply with
repeated reminder letters and telephone calls, independently or in coqjunction \\oilb other tools
available, to achieve the desired rcgulatory results oflbe Council;
. A written administrative process provides predictability for borb staff administering the ~ode as well as
businesses following the Code;
. Unless el1forc~d, legislation loses its effectiveness over time. Code enforcement brings the awareness of
the law, creates fairness between those who comply voluntarily and those who choose not to, and
improves the efficiency in administering the Codt:.

Wireless Communication F
Background: On April 13, the Parks and Recreation Commission received a presentation from AT&T to locate a
wireless communication facility at Sacajawea Park. AT & T's proposal includes replacing all the ball field light poles
on field 2 with a Musco Lighting system. The proposal provides the City with an improved lighting system and
provides an antenna mount that is less obtrusive.
In addition, the proposal includes adding onto the park's existing concession building the electrical equipment that
would store the electrical equipment required for the system. Therefore, there would be no utility cabinets in the
outfield next to the light pole selected to mount the antenna.
The Parks and Recreation Commission's Policy and Procedure Committee further reviewed AT&T's proposal and
forwarded the following recommendation to the commission on May 4,2000. The Policy and Procedure Committee
recommended that staff negotiate with wireless communication vendors to obtain benefits to mitigate the visual impact
of the installation of panel antennas. The committee also recommended that a minimum design standard that would
integrate the antenna with the light structure be established and for the Parks and Recreation Commission to review
the fmal design standard.
Parks and Recreation Commission Recommendation: On May 4, the full commission accepted the Policy and
Procedure Committee's recommendations and approved the following motion: "The Commission recommends staff
negotiate with wireless communication vendors to obtain benefits to mitigate the visual impact of installation of panel
antennas."
Staff Recommendation: To provide opportunity for public review of requests to locate wireless communication
facilities in City parks, staff. initiated including the commission in the department's review of these requests. The
wireless industry can provide, at no cost to the City, innovative opportunities to improve existing park facilities for
the community while at the same time improve wireless communication coverage within the City of Federal Way.
The AT&T proposal to replace the ball field lights on field 2 at Sacajawea Park will improve the quality of play and
provides a system that is more energy efficient and reliable than the existing system that is more than 20 years old.
The proposal to integrate the antenna system into the light pole is less visually obtrusive than the protruding antenna
system. Staff concurs with the commission's recommendation. Staff recommends option one.
Committee Recommendation Options:
Option I:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Move to place under consent on the City Council's June 20 meeting approval of the Parks and
Recreation Commission's recommendation to direct staff to negotiate with wireless communication
vendors to obtain benefits to mitigate the visual impact of the installation of panel antennas in City
of Federal Way parks. An application to locate wireless communication facilities within the City
of Federal Way must be submitted for permit to the Department of Community Development and
can only be approved based on the City's code requirements for such facilities by the Community
Development Director.
Move to approve to place under consent on the City Council's June 20 meeting approval of the
Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation as amended by the Council Committee.
Return this item to the Parks and Recreation Commission for further review.

Youth Wall of Fame
ublic Safety Council Committee
Background: The Federal Way Youth Hall of Fame (FWYHF) came to the March 9 Parks and Recreation
Commission meeting to request the commission's support to locate a Youth Wall of Fame in a city park. The purpose
of the Youth Wall of Fame is two-fold:
. To honor Federal Way's outstanding young people and celebrate their commendable efforts and
. To be actively involved in the community through volunteering efforts.
The Commission agreed to review the proposal as part of their 2000 work plan.
Capital Facilities Committee Recommendation: The Committee reviewed the FWYHF materials distributed on
March 9. The Committee discussed the appearance of the wall and how to incorporate the youth's sense of art along
with what would present a pleasing appearance to others. The committee felt that the Youth Wall of Fame should
be placed in an area where the general public will pass by it on a regular basis and where there is some official
acknowledgment of the recognition for our youth. "
Therefore, the Committee recommended the following:
1. A Youth Wall of Fame be included in the original design phase of the new City Hall. The wall could be free-
standing so it can be adjusted as necessary.
2. In addition, there should be a combined group formed with members from the Arts Commission, Youth
Commission and the Youth Wall of Fame to develop the artist guidelines for the fmal work.
Parks and Recreation Commission Recommendation: At the commission's May 4 meeting, they moved to accept
the Capital Facilities Committee recommendation for the Youth Wall of Fame to be included in the original design
phase of the new City Hall and a combined group be formed by members form the Arts Commission, Youth
Commission and Federal Way Youth Hall of Fame to develop artist guidelines for the [mal work.
Staff Recommendation: Given that the City Council has not approved any decision to build a new City Hall, it would
be premature for the City Council to approve the proposed design element of a Youth Wall of Fame for a future City
Hall facility. Staff recommends option one.
Committee Recommendation Options:
Option I:
Option 2:
Option 3:
To table the Parks and Recreation Commission's reconunendation to locate a Youth Wall of Fame
in a new City Hall, until the City Council determines the need for and approves the funding to build
a new City Hall.
To move to City Council on June 20, under consent, to approve the Parks and Recreation
Commission recommendation to locate a Youth Wall of Fame in a future new City Hall facility, and
when appropriate to form a committee comprised of members for the Arts Commission, Youth
Commission and Federal Way Youth Hall of Fame to develop design guidelines for the final work.
To return this item to the Parks and Recreation Commission for further review.

PARCOURS SYSTEMlBP
SE III
Background: At the April 10 PRHSPS Council Committee meeting, the committee asked the Parks and Recreation
Commission to look at the possibility of adding a Parcours as a design element to the BP A Trail phase III project.
Parcours is a trade name for a self-guided recreation and fitness course that combines jogging or walking with a
sequence of exercise stations. The course is designed to provide participants of all ages with a comprehensive physical
conditioning program.
Capital Facilities Committee Recommendation:
The Commission's Capital Facilities Committee discussed their personal use of the trails and their experience of
existing Parcours systems in the areas of Renton, Kent, Tacoma and within the Southcenter area.
After much discussion the committee unanimously agreed that a Parcours should not be the top priority for the BP A
Trail Phase III project for the following reasons:
1.
2.
3.
Security issue in the area of BP A Trail Phase III that would be appropriate for sighting
Lack of use of Parcours systems at other existing facilities
In era of "tight" money, this does not seem to be the best use of funds
The Committee further recommends that any additional money be used to ensure that a trail system be master planned
within the City of Federal Way which would include connecting trails to other trails outside the City. These trails
would be targeted for walkers and bicyclists. Additionally, the committee recommends that benches be added to BP A
Trail phase III and 1.
Parks and Recreation Commission Recommendation: On May 4, the Parks and Recreation Commission passed
a motion to accept the Capital Facilities Committee recommendation to not include a Parcours as part of the BPA
phase III project. The Commission also supports the committee's recommendation to fund, when possible, a Trail
Master Plan and to include benches in BP A phase III and 1.
Staff Recommendation: Staff concurs with the Parks and Recreation Commission's motion. As a point of
information, as part of an Eagle Scout project, an exercise course was installed in Lake Grove Park in 1999. In
addition, as part of another Eagle Scout project, two stretching stations were installed on BP A Phase I last year. Staff
recommends option one.
In response to a trail study, one was completed in 1991. The trail study was funded through an ISTEA grant and
looked at the BP A corridor as a means to reduce transportation- generated emissions. The trail was a joint project
between King County, Metro and the City of Federal Way. The outcome was a master plan for the City's portion of
the BP A trail that connects the BP A Trail to the Interurban Trail system to the north.
Committee Recommendation Options:
Option 1:
Move to accept the Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation to not include a Parcours
as part of the BrA Phase III project.
Move to approve the Parks and Recreation Commission recommendation as amended by the
committee.
Retum the item to the Parks and Recreation Commission for further review.

Procedure Guidelines for Ce e
Background: Last year, the Batting Cage proposal for Celebration Park was flrst presented to the PRHSPS Council
Committee without fIrst going to the Parks and Recreation Commission. The Parks and Recreation Commission is
an advisory body to the City Council. The Commission is concerned that any proposal to either add a facility or
propose a change of use of a park should fIrst come to the Commission. The Comnússion, after a thorough review
of the proposal, including, but not limited to, a public meeting, would forward a recommendation to the Council
Committee. To review this issue further, the Parks and Recreation Commission asked the Parks and Recreation
Commission's Capital Facilities Committee to recommend a procedure on the review of proposed changes or
installations at Celebration Park.
Capital Facilities Committee Recommendation: The committee recommended that the process to consider any
change in use or the installation of new facilities be the following:
Any changes in use of Celebration Park or change/installation of new structures or facilities beyond
replacement of existing structures or facilities be reviewed and approved by the Parks and Recreation
Commission, Parks and Recreation Council Committee, legal staff and City Council.
Parks and Recreation Commission Recommendation: On May 4, the commission passed a motion to approve the
Capital Facilities Committee's recommendation and forward to City Council for approval.
Staff Recommendation: Staff supports the commission's recommendation. However, the motion should be amended
to read: "when legal review is appropriate, the Law Department will review the issue prior to forwarding the
