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 308 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 1) 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 ($60,000 /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 m Federal Way. HUD asked
them to purchase a six-plex unit from 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
Grant Consortium, the City must annually elect to receive a pass - through of CDBG funds. A signed form indicating

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 IAC 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 financial 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 first 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 PUBLIC/PRIVATE 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 to
future inquiries and/or provide the framework to conduct a request for proposal to initiate interest in public /private
partnerships with the City.
RESOLUTION /AQUATIC 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
protection 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.

May 8, 2000 Summary
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.

SUBJECT: Wireless Communication F. A sties at Sacajawea Park
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 final 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 1: 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 Depaitnient of Community Development and
can only be approved based on the City's code requirements for such facilities by the Community
Development Director.
Option 2: 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.
Option 3: Return this item to the Parks and Recreation Commission for further review.

SUBJECT: Youth Wall of Fame
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 fmal 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 1: To table the Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation 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.
Option 2: 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 fmal work.
Option 3: To retum this item to the Parks and Recreation Commission for further review.

VIA: David Moseley, City Manage i
SUBJECT: PARCOURS SYSTEM/BP • T ` • IL P • 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 BPA 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 BPA
Trail Phase III project for the following reasons:
1. Security issue in the area of BPA Trail Phase III that would be appropriate for sighting
2. Lack of use of Parcours systems at other existing facilities
3. 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 BPA
Trail phase III and I.
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 BPA phase III and I.
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 BPA 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 BPA 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 BPA trail that connects the BPA 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 BPA Phase III project.
Option 2' Move to approve the Parks and Recreation Commission recommendation as amended by the
committee.
Option 3: Return the item to the Parks and Recreation Commission for further review.
APPROVAL OF COMMITTEE REPORT: Option No.

SUBJECT: Procedure Guidelines for Ce e.ration Park
Background: Last year, the Batting Cage proposal for Celebration Park was first 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 Commission, 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 Depaitnient will review the issue prior to forwarding the
commission's recommendation to the Council Committee." This procedure, if approved, will not prevent, for
example, a citizen, an organization or even a Council member from first presenting a proposal to the Council
Committee. But it is the intent of the policy that the Council would not take action on the proposal without first
receiving the commission's recommendation. Staff recommends option one.
Council Committee Recommendation Options:
Option 1: To move to City Council on June 20, under consent: to approve the Parks and Recreation
Commission's recommendation on procedure guidelines to review changes of use and installations
of new structures or facilities at Celebration Park as amended by staff.
Option 2: To move to City Council on June 20, under consent: to approve the Parks and Recreation
Commission's recommendation on procedure guidelines to review changes of use and installations
of new structures or facilities at Celebration Park.
Option 3: To not approve the recommendation.

TO: Parks, Recreation, Human S: ; ,,: Public Safety Council Committee
FROM: Jennifer Schroder, Director
VIA: David Moseley, City Mana: 71
SUBJECT: Procedure Guidelines for Ce e',ration Park
Background: Last year, the Batting Cage proposal for Celebration Park was first 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 Commission, 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 Depaitnient will review the issue prior to forwarding the
commission's recommendation to the Council Committee." This procedure, if approved, will not prevent, for
example, a citizen, an organization or even a Council member from first presenting a proposal to the Council
Committee. But it is the intent of the policy that the Council would not take action on the proposal without first
receiving the commission's recommendation. Staff recommends option one.
Council Committee Recommendation Options:
Option 1: To move to City Council on June 20, under consent: to approve the Parks and Recreation
Commission's recommendation on procedure guidelines to review changes of use and installations
of new structures or facilities at Celebration Park as amended by staff.
Option 2: To move to City Council on June 20, under consent: to approve the Parks and Recreation
Commission's recommendation on procedure guidelines to review changes of use and installations
of new structures or facilities at Celebration Park.
Option 3: To not approve the recommendation.

SUBJECT: Youth Wall of Fame
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 fmal 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 1: To table the Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation 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.
Option 2: 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 fmal work.
Option 3: To return this item to the Parks and Recreation Commission for further review.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
PARKS, RECREATION & CULTURAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Date: April 7, 2000
To: Parks, Recreation, Human Servi ublic fety Council Committee
From: Jennifer L. Schroder, Director
Subject: Skate Park
Background:
In 1998, Council approved $15,727 for architectural and engineering services to master plan a skate park. The Parks
and Recreation Commission held public hearings to solicit the community's interest and ideas for a skate park. Several
youth stepped forward to provide the commission with recommendations of the size and features the park should
include. Federal Way youths, Tom Sexton and Jerry Motomatsu developed a clay model for a skate park design
concept.
As part of the department's 1999/2000 budget proposal,$250,000 was requested to build a skate park. This amount was
determined from the construction costs incurred by neighboring cities who completed skate park projects. The majority
of skate parks in the area are 3,000 square feet to 7,000 square feet and have cost between $65,000 to $130,000.
The department's submittal for $250,000 was based on the community's comments that the park should be twice as big
as the neighboring cities. The larger park can accommodate a wide range of ability from beginner to advance. The
feedback on small parks was that advanced skaters dominate the park.
The architects, Purkiss -Rose, compiled all of the comments received and produced two plans. On October 29, 1998,
the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended the current plan (Plan B). On March 2, 1999, Council approved
the proposed plan and directed staff to complete the design. On October 19, 1999, Council directed the City Manager
to spend up to $250,000 to fund the skate park. With funding in hand to build the park, the project architect completed
the drawings, incorporating site conditions and other permit requirements. On March 9, 2000, staff presented the Parks
and Recreation Commission with the architect's cost estimate to build the full plan.
Cost Estimate
The skate park master plan is 19,608 square feet. The architect's cost of the structure and contingency is $361,224 (tax
not included). The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed proposals that create two alternatives from the full plan
(minutes attached). The alternatives divide the plan into two phases. Phase one is 12,800 square feet ($212,680), and
phase two is 6,808 square feet ($148,544).
PHASE I COST ESTIMATE
Architectural/Engineering $8,000
Construction* $200,000
10% Contingency $20,000
Sales tax $17,500
2% for Art $4,500
$250,000
*Based on 10,000 SF
PHASE II COST ESTIMATE
Architectural/Engineering $8,000
Construction* $192,160
10% Contingency $19,216
Sales tax $16,525
2% for Art $3,850
$239,751
*Assumes Phase I @ 10,000 SF/Phase II @ 9,808 SF
Parks and Recreation Commission Recommendation
The commission held a special meeting on March 27 to discuss skate park and passed a motion recommending to full
Council approval of the skate park plan at Steel Lake as presented, and for construction to occur in two phases. Phase
I to proceed this year and Phase II to be funded when the need supports expansion.

Staff Recommendation
In order to move forward with Phase I, keeping within the $250,000 budget, the plan's fmal cost estimate must provide
for sales tax, a 10% contingency and approximately $4,500 for 2% for the arts portion. Therefore, the skate park's final
dimensions will most likely be between 9,000 to 10,000 SF. At 9,000 SF, this facility will still be larger than any other
skate park currently built in King County. Staff recommends moving forward with Phase I as the final concept to
develop a complete skate park project within the budgeted amount of $250,000.
Committee Recommendation:
Motion to approve to full Council Phase I Skate Park for construction in Steel Lake Park and authorize staff to proceed
with the public bidding of the project. Total project budget not to exceed $250,000.
