7. COUNCIL BUSINESS
a. 2019 Salary Survey Implementation
Councilmember Craft yes
Councilmember Moore yes
Councilmember Kochmar yes
Federal Way City Council Regular Minutes Page 3 of 7
November 3, 2021
Human Resources Manager, Vanessa Audett, provided the history of the most recent
citywide salary survey which was authorized in 2019 and due to COVID was delayed in
completion and has not been implemented. She noted the previous review of salaries was
done in 2008 prior to the economic recession and results were never implanted.
Ms. Audett spoke to the results of the study which show employees dissatisfaction due to
inadequate staffing, heavy workloads, and under market compensation. The voluntary turn
over rate is currently at double from 5-years ago. The implementation plan would include
market adjustments to adjust the salary ranges for 89 non -represented positions. The cost
of this adjustment is $23,157 per month and annualized cost of $277,884 and is funded
through the 2021-2022 budget.
She recommended making this adjustment to restore faith of employees by bringing
longtime under market classifications closer to market wages. Ms. Audett noted the survey
data is aging as it was done in 2019, and the comparable data from other jurisdictions
continue to change. Moving forward she recommends bringing the process in-house for an
on -going salary review policy and procedure; and aligning future salary surveys with the
budget process.
Finance Director, Steve Groom, provided feedback on how to fund the adjustment noting
increasing the city's expenses does strain the current year budget and puts the budget on
a new trajectory with implications for future years. He noted the recommendation of the HR
Manager to implement changes gradually is the best option and then plan for future
budgets. He explained how this cost can be covered by salary savings which have not been
accounted for in other areas to a total of $277,000 in the current year and generally budget
savings from next year.
Council thanked Ms. Audett and Mr. Groom for the information and asked for clarification
regarding the number of vacancies current and expected to fund the savings; if the city can
look at offering internal internships for staff to move up in different positions or departments;
and if there is a proposal for workload issues addressed in the survey.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT HONDA MOVED APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED SALARY
SURVEY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO IMPLEMENT
SAID PLAN; SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER ASSEFA-DAWSON. The motion passed
unanimously as follows:
Council President Honda
yes
CouncilmemberAssefa-Dawson
yes
Councilmember Baruso
yes
Councilmember Tran
yes
Councilmember Craft yes
Councilmember Moore yes
Councilmember Kochmar yes
b. Adding New Position of Title VI/VIII/Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Analyst
Community Services Manager, Sarah Bridgeford, provided information regarding the part-
time DEI Coordinator position Council authorized in the biennial budget. The position is
currently vacant and in working with Human Resources, Community Services and Public
Works staff have created a full-time Title VI/VIII/Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Analyst
position to be funded through the General Fund, CDBG Fund, and Capital Transportation
Fund.
Ms. Bridgeford noted the creation of the full-time, fully funded position was the collaboration
of discussions between the three divisions and she provided primary proposed duties both
internal and external. Deputy Public Works Director, Desiree Winkler, and Human
Federal Way City Council Regular Minutes Page 4 of 7
November 3, 2021
Resources Manager, Vanessa Audett, also spoke to the proposal noting this is a great use
of funding to create a full-time position at a higher level (analyst) than a part-time coordinator
position. An analyst would be able to look city wide with the DEI lens and bring back
impactful recommendations to the Diversity Commission for review and implementation.
Council thanked Ms. Bridgeford, Ms. Audett and Ms. Winkler for the information and
proposal submitted. Clarifying questions were asked regarding concern of the CDBG and
Transportation job duties would pull away from the DEI needs. Director Groom spoke to the
sustainability of the funding for this position.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT HONDA MOVED TO CREATE THE PROPOSED POSITION TO
BE FUNDED THROUGH A COMBINATION OF GENERAL FUND, TRANSPORTATION
FUNDING (306), AND CDBG FUNDING (119); SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY, WASHINGTON, RELATING TO
PEDESTRIAN INTERFERENCE AND OBSTRUCTIONS WITHIN PUBLIC RIGHTS -
OF -WAY; AMENDING FWRC 6.35.030. (AMENDING ORDINANCE NOS. 20-887, 15-
802, 15-784, 11-697, 08-576, 05-509, 94-214, AND 91-89)
Assistant City Attorney Joanna Eide provided background on this proposed ordinance and
how it aligns and clarifies existing code language. She noted the city regulates public
property including parks, rights -of -way, sidewalks and benches. In response to citizen
concerns staff was directed to bring recommendations forward to address safe and effective
use of public property.
Ms. Eide noted the proposed ordinance adds language explicitly prohibiting specific activity
and adds clear exemptions for restrictions for people with disabilities, or activities with an
issued permit. The ordinance would also add a definition of "sidewalk" as it is currently
defined in the FWRC for consistency and clarity.
She further defined the enforcement, follows current case law, clarifies existing language
for enforceability and adds detail and provisions to ensure sidewalks and other areas within
the public rights -of -way are not obstructed and may be used by the public as intended.
Council thanked Ms. Eide for the presentation. Multiple Councilmembers asked for
clarification regarding criminalizing homelessness and asked for the Police Chief to provide
feedback on the current laws regarding pedestrian interference. Chief Hwang answered
questions regarding the enforceability of the current ordinance and the current procedure
the department follows.
Discussion continued. City Attorney Call clarified there has been recent changes to the law
and this is an attempt to clarify the law and ensure the public can use the sidewalks and
benches as they are intended too; which is not for long-term use or for sleeping. Mayor
Ferrell noted this was in response to an uptick in citizen complaints regarding interference
and safety concerns in the rights -of -way.
Public Comment.
Jack Walsh expressed support for this ordinance stating that sidewalk obstructions
impact businesses and those trying to use these businesses.
Ken Blevens gave his support for this ordinance, and feels this will help with what he
believes to be a public health crisis in Federal Way. He believed the city should be
walkable to everyone.

SUBJECT: 2021 Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) Complete Streets Grant Funding Application
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
This project is part of the Citywide ADA retrofits project in the Transportation Capital Fund (Project 228) and is
funded by $200,000 LIFT funds and $200,000 of Motor Vehicle Excise Tax. Any funds received from this
Complete Streets Grant will be added to the project funds and help make up the unfunded needs identified in the
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Awards are anticipated to range between $100,000 and $1,000,000 and
therefore the exact amount the City could receive is not yet determined. There are no additional on -going
expenses as this is replacement of existing facilities and no additional matching funds are required beyond those
already identified in Project 228.
BACKGROUND:
In 2019, the Public Works Department was awarded TIB Complete Street grant funding to upgrade the curb
ramps and pedestrian signal push buttons at the intersection of S 320" Street and Pacific Highway South to meet
current ADA standards. The 2019 funding only addressed a small portion of these needs in City Center.
In order to be considered for a Complete Streets award, the local agency must receive a nomination from at least
one of the nominating partners, which include board approved state agencies and non-profit organizations that
have an interest in transportation or complete streets. The City, if authorized by City Council to submit an
application for this funding, will have to first submit requests to these nominating agencies and organizations,
and then if a nomination is received from one of these organizations, the City will apply to TIB for the Complete
Streets grant funds.
Proposal:
Public Works is requesting authorization to apply for 2021 TIB Complete Streets grant funds to address the ADA
upgrade needs in the City Center (Option 1 below).
Option 1— Authorize the Public Works Department to Apply for 2021 TIB Complete Streets Grant Funds
This option would authorize the Public Works Department to apply for 2021 TIB Complete Streets grant funds.
Option 2 — No Action
This option would not authorize the Public Works Department to apply for 2021 TIB Complete Streets grant
funds.

SUBJECT: Adopting a work plan and public participation plan for updating the Comprehensive Plan
and develo ment regulations, pursuant to RCW 36.70A.130.
Financial Impacts:
N/A
Background Information:
Cities and counties planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA) are required to periodically
update both their comprehensive plans and development regulations (codes). The city's last periodic
update occurred in 2015 and the current update needs to be approved by June 2024. As part of the
process, GMA states:
Each county and city that is required or chooses to plan under RCW 36.70A.Odd shall establish and broadly
disseminate to the public a public participation program identifying procedures providing for early and
continuous public participation in the development and amendment of comprehensive land use plans and
development regulations implementing such plans. The procedures shall provide For broad dissemination of
proposals and alternatives, opportunity for written comments, public meetings after effective notice,
provision for open discussion, communication programs, information services, and consideration of and
response to public comments.
To meet this requirement, the proposed Public Participation Plan (Attachment A) contemplates utilizing
many of the following methods to better reach as large a proportion of the community as possible:
1. Webpage. Create a periodic update page that would identify ways for the community to get
involved and to share their opinions and ideas.
2. Ad hoc Committee. Create an ad hoc Committee that would meet monthly and ensure the public
engagement process is meeting its expectations for reaching a diverse population and ensure the
update is progressing to meet the .tune 2024 deadline for adoption.
3. Task forces. Create three Task forces, one for each of the following: Climate, S. Station, and City
Center. The Task forces will serve as subject -matter experts and will meet for approximately
eight months to discuss appropriate Goals and Policies for these new chapters.
4. Large-scale.public meetings such as open houses, town halls, and public hearings.
5. Small-scale meetings such as table at the Farmer's Market and Movies in the park, presentations
in classes to students, presentations to the Chamber, drive-thru open house, Planners in a park,
etc.
6. Citywide mailings.
7. Utilizing the city's commissions as a resource.
8. Seek out community Ieaders to help reach various ethnic, cultural, and other diverse community
groups that are typically less involved in city outreach efforts.

Comprehensive Plan
Periodic Update
October 2021
Federal Way 2024-2044
tiLLQL;11111G11L tt
I. Background
Federal Way adopted an Interim
Comprehensive Plan at the time of
incorporation in February of 1990. In
November of 1995, after a three-year
planning process with much public
involvement, Federal Way adopted its
first GMA-compliant comprehensive
plan (FWCP). The ideas in the FWCP
were developed through discussion,
debate, and the creative thinking of
thousands of Federal Way citizens,
working with City staff and
elected officials. Consistent with the
GMA, the City of Federal Way
provided early and continuous
opportunities for citizens to
participate. The last periodic update
of the Comprehensive Plan occurred in 2015.
The city is again updating its Comprehensive Plan — setting the vision and the plan for the city to
2044. Under the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 36.70A.130, the city of Federal Way is
required to: (1) plan for the succeeding 20-year population and employment growth forecast, and
(2) update its comprehensive plans and development regulations to ensure the plan and
regulations comply with the requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA). Specifically,
RCW 36.70A.140 states that:
"Each county and city that is required or chooses to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 shall
establish and broadly disseminate to the public a public participation program identifying
procedures providing for early and continuous public participation in the development
and amendment of comprehensive land use plans and development regulations
implementing such plans."
The overarching goal of this participation plan for the 2024 periodic update is to accomplish that
requirement listed above and generate a comprehensive plan that ensures a high quality of life
and access to opportunities for all community members.
Il. Process Overview
The City is planning for the update process to span approximately 2'/2 years, beginning in
January 2022 and ending in June 2024. See Attachment 1 (Project Timeline) and Attachment 2
(Master Schedule).
Public engagement is a key component of this effort and is vital for its success. This plan will
enumerate the state and local requirements for public participation and emphasize efforts to
connect with and engage historically underserved communities.
Federal Way 2024-2044
t1LLdU11111G11L ti
Staff will pair a formal process such as hearings and city -organized open houses with a less
formal approach to public outreach. More casual approaches to gathering feedback will be used
by making greater use of alternative strategies for outreach such as getting on the agendas of and
presenting at existing meetings, using videos to help get the word out, attending community
events, and hosting pop-up meetings in varied places. For the less formal effort, more focus will
be placed on going to "where people are" as opposed to inviting people to join in a traditional
city setting. This double -pronged approach will help ensure the city reaches those more familiar
with current city -hosted events and processes as well as groups and populations underrepresented
in the planning process. These efforts will ensure the planning process is truly open and that
participant input is convenient, authentic, and integrated into the plan update.
The Federal Way Planning Commission will serve as the backbone of the review process. But,
the process will engage a number of stakeholders, will include task forces and other city
commissions and there will be opportunities to connect many groups that may rarely interact.
As chapters are updated, all draft documents will be posted to the project webpage for public
review. The city will also be completing a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review as
part of the project and there will be opportunities for the public to provide comment. All public
comments received will be compiled and be taken into consideration throughout the progression
of this process.
III. Goals
Federal Way's Comprehensive Plan represents the vision of the community for the next 20 years.
It is used to guide decisions by city staff, the Mayor, and the City Council. For this reason, it is
vitally important to hear from as many people and to get participation from as broad a spectrum
of the community as possible. With the support of the Mayor, the Community Development
Department is keen on reaching as many people as possible during the update planning process
and engaging the public's interest to a greater degree than has been achieved in the past.
Federal Way 2024-2044

IV. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Planning decisions have historically instituted social and racial inequities and can perpetuate
these outcomes. To equitably engage with a diverse population, city staff will work with
community leaders and organizations in connection with historically excluded and
underrepresented populations, insure access by translating documents, offering interpretation
services and applying an equity lens to be deliberately inclusive of underserved populations
while implementing the methods of engagement below.

Financial lm acts:
The Program Year 2022 Community Development BIock Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan was
included within the proposed budget under the Community Development Department. In accordance with
the proposed budget, this item is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) in the anticipated amount of $779,935. The grant will fully reimburse the costs
incurred by the City to carry out the projects or to reimburse subrecipients for expenses incurred in
carrying out the projects.

categories of Public Services, Planning and Administration, and CERF, provided that amounts do not
exceed the amount requested; and additionally, staff may make technical amendments to incorporate final
performance measures from 2021."

1. Introduction
The City of Federal Way presents this Annual Action Plan for the 2022 Program Year Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program funds. The City developed these funding decisions based
upon Mayoral and City Council priorities, Human Services Commission recommendations, Community
Services Division staff analysis, public hearing comments, program performance information, and
consultation with various service agencies and other stakeholders.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
The Consolidated Plan establishes local priorities consistent with national objectives and the US
Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
The identified goals in this Consolidated Plan are:
■ Expand economic opportunities - increase local opportunities and create jobs.
• Preserve affordable housing - ensure access to healthy, safe, affordable housing for low- and
moderate -income households throughout the City and advance fair housing to address
discrimination.
Prevent and address homelessness - make homelessness rare, brief, and one-time and
eliminate racial disparities.
■ Establish and maintain suitable living environments - create a healthy, integrated, and vibrant
community by improving the well-being and mobility of low- and moderate -income residents
through an array of services addressing basic needs and progress toward self-sufficiency.
In addition, the 2022 Annual Action Plan provides for planning and the administration of the Community
Development Block Grant program in order to meet community needs and HUD requirements.
Strategies in the Consolidated Plan will be implemented with CDBG funds provided by HUD. Based on
its 2021 formula allocation, the City estimates that approximately $779,935 in grant funds will be
available in 2022.

ends December 31, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the City and its citizens in numerous
ways. CDBG funds have provided meaningful access to services allowing the City to meet the needs of

AP-10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(I)
1. Introduction
Consultation and citizen participation are important elements of the plan and its implementation. The
City follows and regularly updates the Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) for the City of Federal Way
Consolidated Plan to guide the process, provide opportunities for citizen involvement throughout the
development of the Consolidated Plan, and provide input for the implementation and program
evaluation phases in future years via Annual Action Plans. During the process of developing the 2022
Annual Action Plan, organizations (both public and private) were consulted and local groups participated
in providing input on needs and proposed strategies.
The City of Federal Way is an active partner and participant in local and regional community
development and human services efforts. The City engages in ongoing coordination between other
cities in South King County that have common interests and needs for community development, as well
as public policy organizations, housing providers, health providers, service agencies, and faith -based
organizations that are extensively involved in providing support to low- and moderate -income persons
and households. The City works with other members of the King County Consortium (Consortium) to
conduct and participate in ongoing meetings with stakeholders, public housing authorities (PHAs),
including the King County Housing Authority, and for the Continuum of Care, nonprofit housing and
service providers, members of the Housing Development Consortium of Seattle -King County, Public
Health Department of Seattle and King County, Puget Sound Regional Council, South King County Human
Services Planners, and the Washington State Department of Commerce. This coordination takes place
regularly and informs recommendations for decision making bodies such as the City's Human Services
Commission.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(1)).
The City of Federal Way participates in local and regional approaches and engages in ongoing
coordination between other jurisdictions, housing and homeless services providers, health providers,
and service agencies. The collaboration includes monthly human services planners' meetings and
participation in numerous formal and informal regional collaborations such as the Joint
Recommendations Committee (JRC), South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP), the
Affordable Housing Committee (AHC), and AHC's Housing Interjurisdictional Team (HUT). The City is also
a member of the South King County Human Services Funder Collaborative, which provides a more
streamlined application and grant management process for human service agencies and increases
collaboration and alignment, when appropriate, between cities. This coordination is ongoing throughout
the year and, along with other community engagement and public meetings, informs the development
Annual Action Plan
2022
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
of the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plans, and the decision -making of groups such as the Human
Services Commission.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
Coordinating with King County's Continuum of Care (CoQ is critical to our region's implementation. The
City will look for ways of participating in and collaborating with the newly established King County
Regional Homelessness Authority and its Advisory Committee, which will serve as the Continuum of
Care. The City of Federal Way recognizes the need for the continuum of housing including prevention,
emergency shelter, transitional housing, and permanent housing. The City provides financial support for
these efforts with both City general funds and CDBG funds and also commits staff time to the ongoing
development and implementation of the system to address the needs of persons experiencing
homelessness.
Efforts by the City and our many human services partners are targeted to help persons experiencing
homelessness meet three goals:
• achieve residential stability;
• increase skill levels and/or incomes; and
• strengthen their ability to influence decisions that affect their lives.
The City has convened efforts around family homelessness seeking shelter in the City as it is recognized
that keeping families in and connected to their community will result in greater success for the
families. FUSION, a local nonprofit, opened a family shelter in the City at the end of 2020. The City
supported the project during its development by funding a feasibility study with State funds and through
a grant of local general funds in fall of 2020.
The City participates in and supports numerous coalitions and committees, such as the South King
County Forum on Homelessness and the Homelessness Action Committee, focusing on developing
resources in South King County. The City also participates in the annual Count Us In, Point in Time Count,
which provides invaluable data for planning.
The City provides both CDBG and local funds to agencies that serve chronically homeless individuals and
families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth. In addition, Federal Way is fortunate to
have numerous faith -based organizations that provide regular services and support to people
experiencing homelessness in our community. While COVID-19 is impacting these services, the
partnership is essential and likely to return when it is safe to reopen.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal -setting
The City of Federal Way solicited input on needs, goals, and strategies for the 2022 Annual Action Plan. Public input has been encouraged
throughout the planning and development process as well as targeted stakeholder engagement. The City engaged with local and regional
partners including nonprofits; local, county, and state government; and citizens to gather input on the City's goals and strategies for its CDBG
program.
The City regularly engages service providers and citizens in discussions regarding community development and human services needs. The City
seeks input by meeting with individuals and organizations on an ongoing basis. Organizations that receive funding are monitored throughout the
year and discuss trends and emerging needs with City staff. City staff meets regularly with human service providers, other regional cities, and
funders to discuss services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness to seek solutions to both local and regional community
development problems.
These forms of engagement provide invaluable information. Citizen participation informs the City's goals and strategies and, in the process for
the 2022 Annual Action Plan, confirmed the adopted goals and strategies. COVID-19 is significant and was a frequent discussion topic in relation
to CDBG. However, two of the primary areas of concern are housing and economic stability, both of which are addressed in the adopted goals,
objectives, and strategies.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs
identified in the plan
The City of Federal Way owns the property upon which the Performing Arts and Event Center (PAEC) was built. The PAEC will continue to recover
and possibly generate jobs directly; jobs at the PAEC were impacted due to COVID-19 and measures implemented to address the pandemic. The
PAEC acts as a catalyst for redevelopment of the City Center area in Federal Way, resulting in additional jobs. The hotel, a component of the
development, has been delayed. This may change certain performance measures and will be updated accordingly.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
In establishing the priorities for activities to meet the needs of the City, activities are being considered
which are likely to be of high impact. The City looked to its own initiatives and goals to determine how
to best build on efforts already underway which could impact the economic problems affecting low- and
moderate -income persons. This has led the City to develop strategies with a focus on economic
revitalization activities and job creation, safety net/self-sufficiency services, and protecting/enhancing
housing owned or rented by low- and moderate -income households.
In order to continue services helping populations who are at risk, the City allocated the maximum
possible to services that have proven to be effective in the past. The City placed a significant amount of
resources into economic development activities for job creation and allocated funding for
microenterprise technical assistance; and, in order to begin working on affordable housing needs,
identified funds to maintain owner -occupied housing.
The City has chosen to place 100% of program funds toward activities which primarily benefit low- and

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing-91.420, 91.220(j)
Introduction
This section of the Annual Action Plan summarizes actions the City will undertake during the Program Year to reduce barriers to affordable
housing. The City is engaging in the development of a Housing Action Plan (HAP) that will inform the Housing Element of the City's
Comprehensive Plan. The HAP includes an evaluation of policies that may affect residential development including the development of
affordable housing. The Planning Division is lead with Community Services supporting the development of the HAP. The HAP is scheduled for
completion in 2021. As part of the public engagement process, the City hosted two virtual public meetings and an Open House for the HAP to
allow an opportunity for Federal Way residents to review the implementation strategies and provide feedback for future policies.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such
as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and
policies affecting the return on residential investment
The development of the Housing Action Plan (HAP) will inform actions and will be available in 2021 for planning. However, the City has taken
steps to address affordable housing and follow-up actions will continue to occur. In 2019, the City adopted a tax authorized by the State of
Washington allowing for a recapture of a portion of the existing sales tax. These funds support affordable housing. The City is a member
jurisdiction of the South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP). SKHHP has made progress in establishing a Housing Capital Fund
allowing for the sales tax revenue to be pooled with other jurisdictions to increase leverage and better support the development and retention
of affordable housing. The City anticipates providing updates on the HAP and the Housing Capital Fund as they are available. Additionally, the
City deferred to King County on another revenue opportunity. King County has enacted a new tax for affordable housing and connected services.
The King County proposed program will focus on providing affordable housing to the chronically homeless persons, a population that is difficult
to serve and frequently needs the deepest level of subsidy to attain affordable housing. King County has acquired a site in the City of Federal
Way.
Discussion
Public policies can have a direct impact on the development of affordable housing. As mentioned above, the City is currently in the process of
developing a Housing Action Plan (HAP), which may consider policies that have the potential of creating barriers to all housing, but will also

specifically identify barriers to affordable housing. Such proposed actions include zoning regulations, development fees, approval and permitting
systems, manufactured and modular housing, and others. The HAP provides analysis of the current policies and recommendations and action
steps the City may take.

Introduction
The City of Federal Way has been and will remain involved in collaborative efforts that serve the needs
of low- and moderate -income persons and households, the homeless, and those with special
needs. The City participates on numerous committees, boards, and the like and works directly with
agencies and organizations that provide services in order to enhance the level and quality of services in
Federal Way and throughout South King County.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City is working with other communities in South King County to establish and enhance strong
networks for community development and human services delivery. This includes working with service
providers, stakeholders, the faith -based community, other government agencies, and those we serve
directly to identify and overcome or mitigate barriers to meeting underserved needs. There are both
on -going discussions among the parties to share information about current issues, as well as longer term
planning to develop strategies, build public awareness, and enhance the support of elected officials for
increased resources for the underserved.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City operates the Home Repair Program, which is funded by CDBG and serves low- and moderate -
income homeowners in Federal Way. The program provides emergency and standard repair and
renovation services that help families remain in their homes. The program is a means of retaining and
enhancing affordable housing and serves to support aging in place, as well as strengthening the
neighborhoods in which the homes are located. The program does not specifically target households
with elderly individuals, but does serve primarily older adults and often incorporates renovations that
assist individuals in staying in their home longer with additions such as ramps, bathroom upgrades
including grab bars and accessible showers, and so on. While allowable and often part of larger projects,
the City's Housing Repair Program is not well suited for smaller repairs that often allow older adults to
remain in their homes. The City will look at the feasibility of developing a minor home repair program
for older adults focusing on aging in place and retaining their homes.
Additionally, the City will begin feasibility on a low-income homebuyers assistance program to facilitate
additional pathways to homeownership for low- and moderate -income residents.
The City of Federal Way also joined the newly established South King County Housing and Homelessness
Partnership (SKHHP) in collaboration with other cities in south King County and King County. SKHHP will

2022
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
31
focus on assisting the region in in meeting affordable housing and homeless needs.
Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards
The City of Federal Way works to reduce lead -based paint hazards by complying with and requiring
subrecipients to comply with the Lead -Based Paint requirements set forth in 24 CFR Part 35. This
includes meeting the requirements for notification, identification, and stabilization of deteriorated
paint; identification and control of lead -based paint hazards; and identification and abatement of lead -
based paint hazards. The Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home pamphlet developed by the EPA,
HUD, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is also distributed.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
Actions to reduce the number of poverty level families include funding small business and micro -
enterprise training and technical assistance. Additionally, actions include maintaining and enhancing
relationships with school -based mentoring programs that lead to increased graduation and college
acceptance and outreach to increase opportunities for low-income residents to obtain livable wage jobs.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
In 2022, the Community Services Division will:
• Update the Division website to include pertinent information for community -based
organizations for planning and program implementation purposes, and for individuals seeking
resources for community development.
• Continue to advocate for additional resources for a coordinated approach to community
development and planning to address poverty issues, affordable housing, job creation, and
community revitalization initiatives.
Continue to participate in collaborative efforts with other funders, private sector groups, and agency
coalitions such as the Continuum of Care.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City of Federal Way has regularly fostered relationships between these entities and will continue to
develop and participate in these collaborations, including the South King Council of Human Services,
South King County Housing Development Group, the King County Housing Development Consortium,
and South King Housing and Homelessness Partnership (SKHHP). As part of the SKHHP work group, the
City of Federal Way and other local cities work with agencies to develop the system and advocate for

2022

32
coordination between housing and social service agencies.
Discussion
The expressed goal of the CDBG Program is to reduce the number of people living in poverty. The City
gives funding priority to programs that, in addition to complying with federal regulations, address a
priority outlined in the Consolidated Plan, and are consistent with all of the goals and objectives
identified.

Introduction
As a member of the King County HOME Consortium, the City of Federal Way will engage in housing
activities, collaborations, and partnerships to enhance opportunities for equitable development and the
creation/preservation of affordable housing. The Consortium will plan for and support fair housing
strategies and initiatives designed to affirmatively further fair housing choice and to increase access to
housing and housing programs.
We value working together collectively to continue the work to develop a cohesive and coordinated
homeless system that is grounded in the principle of Housing First and fosters shared outcomes. We are
not a one size fits all system and as such, we invest in projects that ensure that homeless households
from all sub -populations:
• are treated with dignity and respect;
• are returned to permanent housing as quickly as possible;
• receive strength -based services that emphasize recovery, as needed;
• are supported to graduate from temporary homeless housing as rapidly as possible and from
permanent supportive housing as soon as they are ready;
■ receive only what they need to return to housing quickly and to be as self-reliant as possible.
To establish and maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low- and
moderate -income people, our investments across the Consortium in low-income communities, and for
the benefit of low-income people, help to ensure equitable opportunities for good health, happiness,
safety, self-reliance, and connection to community. Specific strategies include: 1) improve the ability of
health and human services agencies to serve our low -and moderate -income residents safely and
effectively; 2) improve the living environment in low -and moderate -income neighborhoods and
communities; and 3) expand economic opportunities for low- to moderate -income residents of the
Consortium.

Page 15
Employees "called back" to work (including court appearances on behalf of the

rate for the work for which they were called back. Call back occurs when the employee
has finished his/her last regular shift but before beginning the next regular shift with less
than twelve hours notice; or when requiring an employee to report on his/her day off.
When an employee, not scheduled for call back, is called with less than one hour
notice the pay calculation shall begin from the period when the employee is notified.
When an employee, not scheduled for call back, is called with more than one hour notice
but less than twelve hours notice the pay calculation shall begin from the time the
employee leaves his/her residence. When an employee is scheduled for call back or
receives more than twelve hours notice the pay calculation shall begin when the
employee actually reports for work. Employees called back may be required to perform
other duties for the duration of the minimum guarantee if the duty necessitating the call
back does not take the full two hours.
Section 5. Shift Bidding
a. Records specialists shall be allowed to bid for shifts within their respective
classifications by seniority. The bid cycle shall be for a period of one year, as
determined by the City. Bidding for shifts will commence in October of each

to assign or transfer an employee from one shift to another, where reasonably
required by operational considerations.
b. If there is a vacancy at the time of shift bid, the vacancy will be identified by
management. The identified vacant shift is unavailable for bid; however,
consideration will be given to those members who make their interest known
when submitting their bid (i.e. my bid is graveyard but would prefer vacant late -
mid shift). When fully staffed, the Records members who have demonstrated
interest in the vacant shift will receive first consideration by seniority.
c. Management has the authority to adjust shifts for operation purposes.
ARTICLE 5 — MANAGEMENT RIGHTS
Section 1. The Association recognizes the right of the City to operate and
manage its affairs in all respects in accordance with its lawful authority. The City retains

ARTICLE 6 - SICK LEAVE
Section 1. Accrual and Usage
Sick leave shall be accrued by regular, full-time employees at the rate of eight (8)
hours per month. Regular, part-time employees shall accrue sick leave on a pro -rated
basis in the same percentage as the employee's average weekly scheduled hours relate
to a forty (40) hour week. An employee may accrue up to 720 hours in his or her sick
leave account.
Sick leave is to be used in cases of illness, accident or other conditions which
require medical treatment or supervision and require an employee to be absent from
work. Sick leave may be used to care for an employee's own health condition, to care for
a dependent child (including dependent step -child or foster child) under the age of
eighteen (18) with a health condition that requires treatment or supervision, a spouse,
parent, parent -in-law, or grandparent of the employee who has a serious health condition
or as more particularly established in WAC 296-130. Sick leave may also be used for the
care, treatment and preventative health care of the employee and dependents. The
parties agree that sick leave should not be abused, and that such abuse is cause for
discipline.
Section 2. Washington Paid Sick Leave
Pursuant to Chapter 296-128-600 through 296-128-770 of the Washington
Administrative Code (WAC) and Revised Code of Washington 49.46.210, Washington
Paid Sick Leave is available to Association members to care for their health and the health
of their family members.
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page 18
Washington Paid Sick Leave may be used for: an employee's mental or physical
illness, injury or health condition; preventive care such as medical, dental or optical
appointments and/or treatment; care of a family member with an illness, injury, health
condition and/or preventive care such as medical, dental, optical appointment; closure of
the employee's place of business or child's school/place of care by order of a public official
for any health -related reasons; and when the employee or the employee's family member
is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
Authorized use of Washington Paid Sick Leave for domestic violence, sexual
assault or stalking includes: seeking legal or law enforcement assistance or remedies to
ensure the health and safety of employee's and their family members including, but not
limited to, preparing for, or participation in, any civil or criminal legal proceeding related
to or derived from domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking; seeking treatment by a
health care provider for physical or mental injuries caused by domestic violence, sexual
assault, or stalking; attending health care treatment for a victim who is the employee's
family member, obtaining, or assisting the employee's family member(s) in obtaining
services from a domestic violence shelter, a rape crisis center, or a social services
program for relief from domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking; obtaining, or
assisting a family member in obtaining mental health counseling related to an incident of
domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking in which the employee or the employee's
family member was a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking; and
participating, for the employee or the employee's family member(s), in safety planning, or
temporary or permanent relocation, or other actions to increase the safety from future
incidents of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
For purposes of Washington Paid Sick Leave, "family member" is defined as: a
biological, adopted, or foster child, stepchild, or a child to whom the employee stands in
loco parentis or legal guardian, or is de facto parent, regardless of age or dependency
status; a biological, adoptive, de facto, or foster parent, stepparent, or legal guardian of
an employee or the employee's spouse or domestic partner, or a person who stood in
loco parentis when the employee was a minor child; a spouse, domestic partner,
grandparent, grandchild or sibling.
Accrual
As established by law, an employee shall accrue one (1) hour of Washington Paid
Sick Leave for every forty (40) hours worked. Washington Paid Sick Leave will accrue in
conjunction with regular sick leave according to the collective bargaining agreement.
Carry Forward
The total sick leave hours that will be carried forward at year-end, for both standard
sick leave and Washington Paid Sick leave, will be seven hundred sixty (760) hours. This
will include a maximum of forty (40) hours of Washington Paid Sick Leave as provided by
law. If an employee is not at the maximum carry forward of seven hundred sixty (760)
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page 19
hours, any hours of Washington Paid Sick Leave in excess of the forty (40) hour carry
forward amount will be transferred to the city sick leave bank, so that employee does not
lose hours that they previously would have banked prior to the establishment of
Washington Paid Sick Leave. In no case will more than a combined total of seven hundred
sixty (760) hours be carried forward.
Verification of Absences Exceeding Three Days
If an employee is seeking to use or has used Washington Paid Sick Leave for
authorized purposes for more than three (3) consecutive days during which the employee
is/was required to work, the employee may be required to provide -documentation that
establishes or confirms that the use of paid sick leave is for an authorized purpose.
Reinstatement of Employment
Employees separating or retiring from employment will not be provided with
financial or other reimbursement for unused, accrued Washington State Paid Sick Leave.
If an employee leaves employment and is rehired within twelve (12) months of separation,
any accrued, unused paid sick leave will be reinstated to the employee's paid sick leave
bank. Should the reinstatement occur in a new fiscal year, the maximum bank will be the
forty (40) hours carry over provided that the employee had forty (4) or more hours banked
upon separation.
Retaliation Prohibited
Pursuant to Chapter 296-128-770 of the WAC, any discrimination or retaliation
against an employee for lawful exercise of paid sick leave rights is prohibited. Employees
will not be disciplined for the lawful use of Washington Paid Sick Leave.
Section 3. Domestic Partner
A person whom a City employee identifies as his or her domestic partner by
completing an Affidavit of Domestic Partnership will be provided the same consideration
as an employee's "spouse" for purposes of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 7 — HOLIDAYS
Section 1. Holidays Observed

2 Floating Holidays
For employees hired after January 1st in a given year, the City may prorate the
hours to be banked and shall bank (provide) the number of hours of holiday pay calculated
by multiplying the number of holidays remaining to be celebrated in that year by eight (8)
hours (e.g., for an employee hired on March 1st, sixty four (64) hours calculated by
multiplying the number of holidays remaining to be celebrated in that year [eight (8)] by
eight (8) hours); provided that the City shall not be required to bank hours for a Floating
Holiday for any employee hired after July 1st during the employee's year of hire. If an
employee permanently leaves the service of the employer before December 31st of any
given year, the City may deduct banked hours credited to the employee's holiday pay
bank equal to the number of holidays remaining to be celebrated in that year multiplied
by eight (8) hours, as well as eight hours for the floating holiday if the termination occurs
prior to July 1st of that year.
Section 2. The decision of whether an employee will be required to work on an
observed holiday will be made by the City. An employee who is required to work on an
observed holiday as set forth above shall receive his/her regular rate of pay for hours
worked, except that, an employee who is required to work on either Thanksgiving,
Christmas, New Year's Day or an additional day each year to be designated by the City
prior to December 1 of the previous year, shall be paid at time and one half for all hours
worked.
Section 3. All employees shall make reasonable efforts to expend their banked
holiday hours prior to the end of each year (December 31). Employees may use their
banked holiday hours in increments no smaller than two hours, and shall use all banked
holiday hours prior to using any vacation hours. Banked holiday hours shall be used on a
first earned, first out (FIFO) basis.
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page111
In the event an employee does not use all of his/her banked holiday hours prior to
December 31, the employee will forfeit the remaining banked holiday hours, except that
an employee may carryover unused banked holiday hours until June 30 of the following
year, if:
a. the employee makes a reasonable effort to use his/her banked holiday
hours/pay, the employee is denied the opportunity to use banked holiday
hours/pay by his/her supervisor, and the employee has written
documentation of said effort in the form of completed Department leave
request forms reflecting that the use of banked holiday hours/pay had been
denied by the employee's supervisor, and/or
b, the employee was prevented from using banked holiday hours/pay
because of approved leave resulting from military service, long term
disability, work related injury, or a similar reason.
If an employee is unable to schedule banked carry-over time to be used by June
30th of the following year, the Deputy Chief shall attempt to schedule the banked carry-
over time prior to June 30th of that year. If the Deputy Chief is unable to schedule the
banked carry-over time by June 30th of that year, the City shall, upon the employee's next
regularly scheduled payday, cash out the hours that cannot be further carried -over under
these provisions at the employee's then -current rate of pay.
An employee whose work schedule is other than an eight -hour day may use
accrued vacation leave or compensatory time to supplement the holiday pay in order to
receive the entire workday off with pay.
ARTICLE 8 - EDUCATION ALLOWANCE
Section 1. General Policy
a. The City recognizes the need to encourage and promote educational
opportunities for employees. The City will reimburse personnel for costs
incurred in receiving approved education upon satisfactory completion of
such education to the extent covered by the City's education reimbursement
policy. Eligible costs include:
Tuition; and
2. Books.
b. If an employee is attending an accredited State institution, the employee
shall be reimbursed based upon that institution's tuition schedule. If an
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page 112
employee is attending a non -State supported institution, the employee shall
be reimbursed on the basis of the University of Washington tuition schedule.
Any and all education assistance reimbursement is suspended indefinitely-
C
. Continuing Education Incentive
AA- $40.00 per month
BA- $80.00 per month
In order to receive this premium, the degree must be in a field of study related to
the employee's assignment, as reasonably determined by the Department. In addition the
employee must fulfill a continuing education requirement of at least one Department
approved college class per year or 20 hours of pre -approved specialized training over
and above Department mandated training. The decision of whether to attain this incentive
is discretionary with the employee, and all time spent travelling to and attending classes
shall be on the employee's own time. The City's education reimbursement program shall
apply to the Association, and should the City fail to fund the program, such that the
employee can not receive reimbursement for the tuition, the continuing education
requirement shall be waived for that year.
ARTICLE 9 — VACATION
Section 1. Vacation
Members of the bargaining unit shall receive annual leave benefits as follows:
COMPLETION OF:

Section 2. Scheduling Annual Leave — Seniority Basis
During January, the Department shall conduct a bid for vacations for the following
year. The bid shall be by seniority, and conducted by division and shift. All vacation bid
requests shall be for work weeks. Vacation requests submitted subsequent to the
vacation bid shall be considered dependent upon Department needs on a first, come first
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page 113
served basis. The City shall make the determination of how many employees may be on
vacation at any one time.
If the City cancels vacation once it has been approved and the affected employee
has incurred non-refundable expenses in planning for the same, the employee shall be
reimbursed by the City for those expenses. Any employee called back to duty once
vacation has begun shall be reimbursed for any additional transportation costs incurred
in returning to duty.
Section 3. Payout
Upon separation, all vacation hours accrued will be paid at the regular rate of pay.
Section 4. Maximum Carry Forward
a. An employee may not carry over to each subsequent calendar year more
than two hundred forty (240) hours of vacation.
b. Upon the effective date of the termination of an employee's employment,
such employee shall thereupon be entitled to a sum of money equal to the
employee's current straight -time hourly rate for any accrued unused
vacation leave time, which shall be paid on the employee's final paycheck,
up to two hundred forty (240) hours maximum.
C. The City will schedule vacations, consistent with Department needs and
coverage.
Section 5. Service Leave
Regular employees will be provided a one-time accrual of 40 hours (pro -rated for
regular part-time employees) of vacation leave after each consecutive 10 year period of
continuous employment (i.e. after 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, etc.).
ARTICLE 10 — PENSIONS
Pensions for employees and contributions to pension funds will be governed by
Washington State Statute.
ARTICLE 11 - BEREAVEMENT AND OTHER LEAVES
Section 1. Bereavement
Employees may take up to thirty (30) hours of bereavement leave for a death in
the employee's immediate family. For purposes of this section immediate family is defined
as a spouse, siblings, children, grandparents, grandchildren, in-laws, parents, aunts, and
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page 114
uncles. At its option, the Employer may construe this definition more broadly to include
other persons living in the employee's household, or to established relationships having
attributes to familial ties. With advance Department Director approval, up to an additional
fifty-six (56) hours of sick leave may be utilized in these situations.
With Department Director approval, an employee may use sick leave, not to
exceed eight (8) hours, to attend the funeral of close friends or other relatives.
Section 2. Personal Leaves
A personal leave of absence is a privilege the City may extend to qualified regular
full-time and regular part-time employees for specific periods of time under certain
circumstances. It allows an employee to take time off from work for personal reasons (see
also 11.5 Military Duty). All such leaves are taken without pay. A leave of absence must
be requested in writing and submitted to the employee's immediate supervisor and
department director for a recommendation as soon as the need for such a leave is known.
The department director shall then forward the request to Human Resources for review.
Only the Mayor may grant or deny any such personal leave requested. The employee
may request or may be required by the City to use accrued vacation or compensatory
time to offset loss of pay during the leave. No benefits such as vacation or sick leave are
earned while on unpaid leave. Employees on leave may return early from leave if they
notify the supervisor in advance. Failure to return from leave on or before the agreed upon
date, however, will result in termination.
An unpaid leave of more than thirty (30) calendar days will affect an employee's
review dates. These days will be adjusted forward until the employee has completed as
many days of continuous employment as the length of the leave of absence.
An employee normally will be assured of returning to his or her position for a leave
of absence of one hundred eighty (180) days or less in duration. Because of staffing
requirements, however, it may be necessary to fill the current position for a leave of
absence in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days. In this event, efforts will be made
to place the employee in an available, open, comparable position.
During any unpaid leave of one hundred eighty (180) days or less, an employee
may continue his or her group insurance coverage by prepaying on a monthly basis the
premium plus two percent (2%) during any affected period of the leave.
Sick leave accrual shall not be used for non -medical leaves of absence.
Section 3. Leave of Absence — Medical — Non-FMLA
Medical leaves of absence may be granted for regular full-time and regular part-
time employees who are unable to perform their job duties due to an illness or an accident
and who are ineligible for or have exhausted FMLA leave. This medical leave of absence
requires a doctor's certification and cannot exceed one hundred eight (180) days total,
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page115
including any FMLA leave. During medical leave, the employee may receive previously
earned sick pay and earned but unused vacation benefits. A written request for a medical
leave of absence must be returned to the department director along with a doctor's
certification indicating the nature of the medical problem and the anticipated length of
absence. A medical leave of absence may be extended, upon a written request,
accompanied by an explanation from the employee's doctor of the need for an extension
period. Even with an extension, however, a medical leave cannot exceed one hundred
eighty (180) days total, including FMLA leave.
Employees returning from a medical leave of absence must provide a doctor's
written certification of their ability to return to work. The City reserves the right to require
an examination by a doctor of the City's choice. Employees returning from a medical leave
of one hundred eight (180) days or less return to the same position or a similar position
of like pay or status, provided however, that the employee remains subject to legitimate
job changes or layoffs that would have occurred even if they had not been on leave.
During the paid medical leave of absence, the City will pay its portion of the
employee's group insurance premiums for up to six (6) months total, including during
FMLA leave.
An unpaid leave of more than thirty (30) calendar days will affect an employee's
review dates. These days will be adjusted forward until the employee has completed as
many days of continuous employment as the length of the leave of absence.
Section 4. Shared Leave
The City's currently existing shared leave policy will be available for the duration
of this Agreement.
Section 5. Military Leave
Any employee who is a member of the Washington National Guard or a federal
military unit is entitled to leave from his or her duties as provided for by law, and shall be
paid as required by law. An employee shall provide the City with notice of the leave as
soon as the employee learns of the assignment, and shall furnish the City with a copy of
his/her orders. A military leave shall be limited to the time of the military assignment.
ARTICLE 12 - CITY SUPPLIED EQUIPMENT
a. The City shall provide any federal and/or state required safety gear and
apparatus.
b. Employees who suffer a loss or damage to personal property and/or
clothing in the line of duty shall be reimbursed for such loss or damage by
the City, provided a claim is filed with the City. Loss due to neglect,
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page 116
negligence or abuse by the employee shall not be considered for
reimbursement, nor shall damage caused by normal wear and tear.
Reimbursement shall be limited to personal property with a reasonable and
ordinary value (i.e. — no Rolex watches).
c. The City shall purchase the following uniforms for customer service
personnel and provide dry cleaning:
1. Property/Evidence Section: 3 polo shirts with City logo (navy, black, or
tan) and 3 slacks (navy, black, or tan), 1 wool sweater zip or button (navy
or black), and 1 winter jacket (black or navy).
2. Quartermaster: 3 polo shirts with City logo (navy, black, or tan) and 3
slacks (navy, black, or tan), 1 wool sweater zip or button (navy or black),

vest, jacket, duty belt, portable radio with holder, cellphone, and
flashlight. Two less lethal of either OC with holder, collapsible baton with
holder or Taser with holster.
4. Transport Officers: 2 uniform shirts and pants, jumpsuit, ballistic vest,
jacket, duty belt, firearm, Taser with holster, 2 pairs of cuffs with cases,
portable radio with holder, OC with holder, collapsible baton with holder,
cellphone, and flashlight.
5. Animal Service Officers and Transport Officers: shall be reimbursed
$100.00 per year for expenses incurred purchasing work boots. Unused
reimbursement money may be rolled over to the next year in the event
an employee does not purchase boots during a year.
The City agrees to repair and/or replace clothing provided by the City as
determined by the supervisor.
Except as noted above, the City will not require that members of the association
wear employer -provided uniform items. The Association members will instead abide by
Section 9.2 (Personal Appearance and Dress) of the City of Federal Way Employee
Guidelines.
ARTICLE 13 - SAVINGS CLAUSE
If any article of the agreement or any addenda hereto should be held invalid by
operation of law or by any tribunal of competent jurisdiction, or if compliance with or
enforcement of any article should be restrained by such tribunal, the remainder of the
agreement and addenda shall not be affected thereby and the parties shall enter
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page117
immediate collective bargaining negotiations for the purpose of arriving at a mutually
satisfactory replacement of such article.
ARTICLE 14 - ENTIRE AGREEMENT
The agreement expressed herein in writing constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties and no oral statement shall add to or supersede any of its provisions.
The parties acknowledge that each has had the unlimited right and opportunity to
make demands and proposals with respect to any matter deemed a proper subject for
collective bargaining. The results of the exercise of that right are set forth in this
agreement. Therefore, except as otherwise provided in the agreement, the City and
Association, for the duration of this agreement, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly agree
to waive the right to oblige the other party to bargain with respect to any subject or matter
specifically covered by this agreement.
ARTICLE 15 - PERFORMANCE OF DUTY
Section 1. Non -Strike Provisions
Nothing in this agreement shall be construed to give an employee the right to strike
and no employee shall strike or refuse to perform his assigned duties to the best of his
ability. The Association agrees that it will not condone or cause any strike, slowdown,
mass sick call, or any other form of work stoppage or interference to the normal operation
of the Federal way Police Department.
ARTICLE 16: GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Section 1. Grievance Procedure Steps
a. Any grievance that may arise between parties concerning the application,
meaning, or interpretation of this Agreement, shall be settled in the manner
prescribed by this grievance procedure.
b. A "Grievance" is defined as a claim or dispute by an employee, group of
employees, or the Association concerning the interpretation or application
of the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this procedure shall prohibit
an employee from discussing a complaint directly with his supervisor or
department head without representation by the Association, as provided by
State Law.
C. Should a subject for claim or dispute arise, there shall be no stoppage of
work by employees, but an earnest effort shall be made to settle such claims
or disputes promptly and in the manner hereinafter outlined.
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement— 2021
Page 118
Step 1
An employee or a group of employees claiming to have a grievance shall
discuss the complaint with the immediate supervisor within ten (10)
calendar days of the alleged occurrence, or when they reasonably should
have known of the alleged occurrence.
Step 2
The supervisor shall attempt informal resolution of the grievance within
seven (7) calendar days after it is presented.
Step 3
Provided the grievance is not settled satisfactorily at step 2, it may be
presented to the Police Chief (or designee) by the Association within seven
(7) calendar days of the supervisor's response or the expiration of the time
limit in step 2. The submission shall be in writing, setting forth the nature of
the grievance, the articles of this agreement allegedly violated, and the
requested remedy.
Step 4
The Police Chief or designee shall attempt to settle the grievance within ten
(10) calendar days after it has been presented, and shall respond in writing.
Step 5
If the grievance is not settled by the Police Chief within the time allowed, it
may be presented in writing to the Mayor, with a copy to the Director of
Human Resources, by the Association within seven (7) calendar days of the
Police Chief's response or the expiration of the time limit in step 4.
Step 6
The Mayor shall have fourteen (14) days to review the grievance. If the
Mayor does not respond or otherwise settle the grievance within the
fourteen -day period, the grievance shall be automatically advanced to step
7, and shall not be forfeited by either party.
Step 7
a. If the grievance is not settled at step 6, and involves a matter other
than discipline, the dispute will be referred to the negotiating
committee of both parties. The two committees shall meet within ten
(10) calendar days to consider the dispute. At that meeting, all
pertinent facts and information will be reviewed in an effort to resolve
the matter through conciliation. If no satisfactory solution is reached
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page 119
in this step, the matter may be submitted in writing to arbitration
within 30 calendar days of the conciliation meeting.
b. If the grievance is not settled at step 6 and involves discipline other
than an oral or written warning, the matter may be submitted, in
writing, to arbitration within thirty (30) calendar days of the date that
the Mayor's review is due. Oral and written warnings may only be
grieved through step 6 of this procedure. However, if the City
attempts to introduce prior oral or written warnings in a subsequent
discipline case that is subject to arbitration, the City shall be required
to prove that it had just cause to issue those prior oral or written
warnings as well as the instant discipline.
Section 2. Arbitration Panel
The City and the Association mutually agree to a permanent panel of arbitrators to
hear all grievances in arbitration. The panel shall consist of three arbitrators: Janet Gaunt,
Gary Axon, and Ken Latsch. Only one arbiter shall hear each grievance and they shall be
picked in rotation, provided that either party may elect to disqualify one arbiter on the list
for a particular hearing. The Association must exercise its right to disqualify the arbiter at
the top of the rotation list in writing, filed at the same time it submits the dispute to
arbitration pursuant to step 7 of the grievance procedure. If the City wishes to exercise
this right, it must do so within twenty (20) days of being served with the Association's
demand for arbitration. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the
parties.
a. The Arbitrator shall make his/her own rules of procedure. The Arbitrator shall
have no authority to amend, alter, or modify this Agreement or its terms, and
shall limit his/her decision solely to the interpretation and application of this
Agreement.
b. Each grievance or dispute will be submitted separately except when the City
and the Association mutually agree to have more than one grievance or dispute
submitted to the Arbitrator.
C. The losing party shall bear the expense of the Arbitrator. The losing party
shall be denominated in the award. When there is no winning party, the cost
of the Arbiter shall be borne equally by the parties. All other costs and fees
will be paid by the party incurring the cost/fee.
d. The Arbitrator shall have thirty (30) days from the close of the hearing to
issue an award.
Section 3. Time Limits
Time limits will be strictly adhered to, but may be extended by mutual written
agreement upon reasonable request, except for situations where no timely grievance is
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page 120
filed. While forfeiture under this clause will finally resolve the matter in dispute, it will not
establish a precedent between the parties on issues of contractual interpretation.
Section 4. Multiple Procedures
If employees have access to multiple procedures for adjudicating grievances, the
selection by the employee of one procedure will preclude access to other procedures;
selection is to be made no later than at the conclusion of step 6 of this grievance
procedure.
Section 5. Step 3 Submission
In those instances where disciplinary action is based on reasonable evidence of
the commission of a crime, or the proposed discipline involves suspension or termination
of the employee, step 3 of the Grievance Procedure will be initiated immediately.
Section 6. Just Cause Standard
No post probationary employee may be discharged, suspended without pay,
demoted (except as provided below) or disciplined in any way except for just cause. The
City may withhold a step increase, for a specified period of time, if it has just cause.
Section 7. Parties to the Agreement
In as much as this is an agreement between the City and the Association, no
individual employee may make use of the provisions of this Article, except as expressly
provided above.
Section 8. Probationary Period
All newly hired employees must serve a probationary period. The probationary
period for newly hired employees shall be one year. The probationary period shall be
extended for the number of work days equal to the number of work days an employee
was absent in excess of 10 work days during the probationary period. The probationary
period is an extension of the hiring process; therefore, the provisions of this Article
(including the Just Cause Standards in Section 16.6) will not apply to employees if they
are discharged during their initial probationary period. Grievances brought by
probationary employees involving issues other than discharge may be processed in
accordance with this Article.
ARTICLE 17 - EMPLOYER & EMPLOYEE RIGHTS
Section 1. Discipline
It is agreed that the employer has the right to discipline, demote, suspend, or
discharge any employees for just cause.
Section 2. Disciplinary Investigations
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page 121
In criminal matters, an employee shall be afforded those constitutional rights
available to any citizen. In administrative matters relating to job performance, the following
guidelines shall be as follows:
a. "Interrogation" as used herein shall mean any questioning by an agent of
the City who is conducting an investigation (as opposed to a routine inquiry)
of the employee being interrogated, when the agent knows (or reasonably
should know) that the questioning could result in employee discipline.
b. Before interrogation, the employee shall be informed of the nature of the
matter in sufficient detail to reasonably apprise him/her of the matter.
Nothing herein shall operate as a waiver of the Association's right to request
bargaining information.
C. Any interrogation of an employee shall be at a reasonable hour, preferably
when the employee is on duty, unless the exigencies of the investigation
dictate otherwise.
d. Any interrogation shall take place at the City Police Department, except
when impractical. The employee shall be advised of their right to and shall
be allowed that PSSA representation to the extent allowed by the law.
e. The questioning shall not be overly long and the employee shall be entitled
to such intermissions as are reasonably necessary.
f. The employee shall not be subjected to any offensive language or abusive
questioning, nor shall he/she be threatened with dismissal, transfer or other
disciplinary punishment as a guise to attempt to obtain his/her resignation.
g. The Employer shall not require any employee covered by this Agreement
to take or be subjected to a lie detector test as a condition of continued
employment. Nor shall polygraph evidence of any kind be admissible in
disciplinary proceedings, except by stipulation of the parties to this
Agreement.
h. The Department may, and upon request will, tape record any interrogation.
Upon request, a copy of the tape/transcript (if made) will be provided to the
employee.
Section 3. Psychological Evaluations
The purpose of this Section is to balance the interest of the Employer in obtaining
a psychological evaluation of an employee to determine the employee's fitness for duty
and the interest of the employee in having those examinations being conducted
unobtrusively, and so as to protect the employee's privacy. Generally, an evaluation will
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page 122
be ordered only if the employer has a reasonable concern that an employee is
psychologically unfit to perform the job.
a. Results of the Evaluation.
The City shall provide the doctor with the employee's job description and
other information necessary for the doctor to understand the duties and
responsibilities of the employee. The doctor will issue a written report to the
Employer and the employee. The only information which the doctor may
disclose shall be whether the employee is fit or unfit for duty or requires
modified work conditions, and the prognosis for recovery, and the reason
why the doctor has reached those conclusions. Additionally, where the
cause of the unfitness is duty -related, the doctor shall disclose that cause.
If the doctor believes the employee is fit for duty but needs modified work
conditions, the doctor will indicate what modifications are necessary and the
extent or duration projected of the modification. The doctor will keep all data
that has been made available to him or her confidential and not release it to
any of the parties except the employee. Modified work conditions may
include light duty assignments of limited duration.
b. As used in this section, "doctor' refers to a psychologist or psychiatrist.
ARTICLE 18 - COMPENSATION

Extra Duty pay may be awarded to a single individual who, for a period of time
exceeding thirty (30) calendar days, assumes substantial responsibilities when assigned
to substitute in a vacant position, in addition to performing the duties of the position
currently held. The vacancy may be due to termination, leave of absence, extended
illness or other reasons approved by the Mayor or his/her designee. When such an
assignment extends beyond thirty (30) calendar days, the employee may receive up to a
ten percent (10%) increase for the entire extra duty time. The percentage of Extra Duty
pay awarded will be determined by the department director, and funding for the additional
compensation will come from the department budget. The added compensation will cease
when the assignment ends.
ARTICLE 19 - INSURANCE COVERAGE
Section 1. Medical/Dental Plans
a. The City shall pay each month one hundred percent (100%) of the premium
necessary for the purchase of employee coverage and ninety percent (90%) of the
premium necessary for the purchase of dependent coverage (excluding spouses

the Kaiser Permanente PPO Access or HMO insurance plans as selected by the
employee. The City will reimburse actual expenses incurred in order to cover the
annual deductible payments under the PPO Plan ($100 individual, max $300
family).
b. The City offers a two tier co -pay for health insurance (Plan A and Plan B)
depending upon participation in wellness. Employees will remain on the lower co -
pay plan (Plan A) if they earn 1000 points (Biometric Screening and
Healthscreening Questionnaire required and earns 500 points) by November 30 of
each year in order to be eligible for Plan A in the succeeding year.
c. The City agrees to place the members and eligible dependents on dental coverage
Plan F.
Section 2. Life Insurance
The City shall pay the entire premium for double indemnity life insurance coverage
for each eligible employee in the bargaining unit. The City will determine the manner in
which insurance coverage is secured. The amount of life insurance shall be equal to one
times the employee's annual base salary to a maximum of $110,000 and a minimum of
$25,000.
ARTICLE 20 - FEDERAL WAY COMMUNITY CENTER
PSSA members are eligible to receive membership at the Federal Way Community
Center by signing up for a payroll deduction of six dollars ($6.00) per pay period. This
Police Support Services Association
Collective Bargaining Agreement — 2021
Page 124
membership is on a quarterly basis and enrollment must be received by the 15t" of the
first month of the new quarter. Employees who visit the FWCC at least eighteen (18) times
during the quarter will receive a fifteen dollar ($15.00) rebate check. Employees may only
cancel their membership after the last payroll deduction for the quarter has been
completed and upon written request. If an employee cancels their membership mid -year,
they are not eligible to rejoin until the following calendar year. While the City anticipates
adequate funding, should there be higher than projected use, passes will be issued as
indicated above only until the funding is exhausted.
Employees have the option to add family members at an additional cost. For more
information please contact the Community Center directly.
Community Center membership as described above is being provided on a trial
basis and may be modified or discontinued at the sole discretion of the City.
ARTICLE 21 - SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY
No employee shall be required to take or be subjected to any random alcohol or
drug testing as a condition of continued employment, except when:
1. the City has a "reasonable suspicion" that an employee may be under the
influence of drugs or alcohol while on duty and/or
2. an employee who, while driving a City vehicle or while driving on City business,
is involved in an accident which results in a serious injury or in which
the employee is cited under local or state law for a moving traffic
violation.
ARTICLE 22 - PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEES
All newly hired and promoted employees must serve a probationary period. The
probationary period for newly hired employees shall end one year from the date the
employee begins work for the City. The probationary period upon promotion shall be one
year from the date of appointment. The probationary period shall be extended for the
number of work days equal to the number of work days an employee was absent in
excess of 10 work days during the probationary period; provided that the taking of
scheduled and approved vacation shall not be counted toward the ten day period for
promotional probationers. The probationary period is an extension of the hiring process;
therefore, the provisions of the grievance procedure will not apply to employees if they
are discharged during their initial probationary period or are demoted during the
promotional probationary period for not meeting the requirements of the classification.
Grievances brought by probationary employees involving issues other than discharge or
demotion may be processed in accordance with Article 17.
ARTICLE 23 - TERM OF AGREEMENT
The effective date of this Agreement is January 1, 2021 and shall remain in force
until December 31, 2021. Any changes in wages, hours or working conditions from those

DATE: November 8, 2021
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: J. Ryan Call, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Proposed Settlement in the Matter of Feliz-Bordonada v. Keiser et al.
Financial Impacts:
The cost to the City for the proposed settlement is included within the approved budget under
the City's Risk Fund. The proposed settlement is $425,000 for a complete release of all
claims against the City. $250,000 of this total will be paid by the City (to date expenditures
for legal fees will be credited towards the City's retention of $250,000). The City's excess
insurance carrier will pay the balance of $175,000.
Background Information:
On August 17, 2018, plaintiff, Yolie Feliz-Bordonanda was riding her bicycle south on the
east sidewalk of Pacific Hwy. S. As she approached the commercial driveway of Gravity
Coffee, defendant Daniel Keiser drove his lifted Toyota Tundra pick-up truck out of the
Gravity Coffee driveway onto northbound PHS. Mr. Keiser failed to stop at the posted stop
sign at the end of the driveway and ran over plaintiff. Plaintiff original demand was $16
million in damages. Plaintiff amended her original complaint alleging design and
construction defects caused by the City, the property owner (Cadence) and property
developer (PacLand). The cause of action against the property tenant, Gravity Coffee, was
dismissed from the lawsuit. Mr. Keiser was insured at the minimum amount required by state
law, leading to potential joint and several liability against the other defendants in this matter,
including the City.
On November 5, 2021, the parties participated in mediation where a settlement among all
remaining parties was reached.
Major's Recommendation:
Authorize the settlement of this matter as outlined above.

The cost to the City for the proposed settlement is included within the approved budget under

the sidewalk where a commercial mailbox was removed. She complained of injuries to her
foot and knee that she attributed to the fall caused by these bolts. The City had no notice of
the exposed bolts, did not remove or install the post boxes, and had no special duty to Ms.
Williams. Plaintiff sued the USPS, the owner of the building near the mailboxes and the
City. Claims against the USPS were dismissed.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 3, 2021
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Judge Dave Larson
SUBJECT: Acceptance of Grant for Therapeutic Approaches to Criminal Justice
Financial Impacts:
The Court applied for and received a grant of $271,776 out of monies appropriated by the
legislature in SB 5476. The monies with be allocated to the City in two payments;
$135,888.00 in December 2021 and another $135,888.00 in July 2022. The funds are to be
used in 2022 and 2023. Seethe attached Award Letter for SB 5476 Therapeutic Court Grant
Program.
The intended use of the funds will be to contract with Policy Research Associates Inc. (PRA)
for Sequential Intercept Mapping ($24,000) and Peer Washington for peer support
($247,776). We will be sharing peer support services with Des Moines, but we will
administer the grant and the contracts.
Background Information:
The court has operated a community court for just under five years with no funding. There
have been some successes, but we have been hampered in our efforts to pull together
resources to support the people we serve. In addition, COVID essentially shut down the
community court for months and we lost Valley Cities as our care coordinator. Finally,
services and resources are fragmented making it difficult for the court to organize those
services and resources and also difficult for people to engage those services and resources.
1. Sequential Intercept Mapping
We contribute to lack of the success by not having a community coordinated response to the
issues we face in our community. The idea is to have a deliberate mechanism in place that
refers people to resources and services that are organized strategically. The purpose of
Sequential Intercept Mapping is to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the existing system
and then develop partnerships to bolster the delivery of services and resources and fill gaps
that exist.
PRA explains Sequential Intercept Mapping as follows:
"It's a dynamic, interactive tool for developing criminal justice -mental health
partnerships used by communities to assess their resources, gaps and
opportunities at each of five "intercept points." The mapping exercise aims
Rev. 7/18
to identify potential opportunities for diversion, or alternative justice and
behavioral health interventions for persons with mental illness and co-
occurring disorders, within each of the five intercepts."
The five intercepts for intervention in the criminal justice system are as follows:
Intercept I — Law enforcement interaction (could be social contact or arrest)
Intercept 2 — Initial court appearance
Intercept 3 — Pretrial court appearances including therapeutic courts
Intercept 4 — Reentry after jail
Intercept 5 — Probation
Intercept 0 represents the broader community outside criminal justice which includes
self -referrals, and referrals family members/friends, medical providers, EMS, and
other community members such as pastors and others that might refer people for
interventions when needed.

We will be mapping resources and services for all of South King County and will be inviting
all South King County courts and cities to participate.
The goal is to develop a network of services and resources that are organized in a way that
makes it easier for all concerned to interact with those services and resources and that
maximizes effectiveness through collaboration.

2. Peer Support
Much of our failure as a system is caused by our expectation that people who are impaired
will make decisions and behave in the same way that a non -impaired person would.
Probation is the traditional arm of the court that is supposed to assure compliance with court
orders and other requirements, but the crisis we are in is beyond the capability of traditional
probation strategies. We need peer support services to provide the needed guidance and
support to those that are impaired.
We have had some success with our partnership with King County on the PALS program
(Pretrial Assessment and Linkage Services), but peer support is lacking and we could
experience greater success if participants had peer guidance. We have volunteer mentors in
community court, but they do not have the lived experiences of many that we see. Early
intervention is key and we will be utilizing peer support in all of the intercepts.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) peer navigators are essential because, "Through shared understanding,
respect, and mutual empowerment, peer navigators help people become and stay engaged
in the recovery process and reduce the likelihood of relapse. Peer support services can
effectively extend the reach of treatment beyond the clinical setting into the everyday
environment of those seeking a successful, sustained recovery process. "
Our contract with Peer Washington will provide approximately 1.5 FTEs of peer support
services with 1.0 FTE starting on January 1, 2022 and the .5 FTE starting on April, 1, 2022.

TO: Finance, Economic Development & Regional Affairs Committee Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Steve Groom, Finance Director
Chase Donnelly, Deputy Finance Director
SUBJECT: 2022 Property Tax Levy
This ordinance is to authorize increase of the regular property tax consistent with state
statute. The King County Assessor has notified us of the current assessed valuation of the
city, and staff has incorporated their latest information in the calculation.
As in most years, the total assessed property values increased, and at a higher pace than
the city's can increase the levy, meaning that property owners' value increases more than
the city can increase property tax. The 2022 proposed Property Tax Levy increase is based
on the statutory 1% limit on existing property, but new construction is not capped.
Due to the costs of personnel and benefits, as well as all other expense costs of providing
city services, the best interest of the city and of its citizens is to request the maximum levy
allowable.
The City Council has public hearings scheduled for November 3, and 16, 2021 on the
proposed 2021-22 Biennial Budget and 2022 proposed Property Tax Levy.
Staff requests and recommends adoption of the attached ordinance.

Notes:
1) Rates for fire districts and the library district are estimated at the time this worksheet is
produced. Fire district and library district rates affect the maximum allowable rate for cities
annexed to them. These rates will change, mainly in response to the actual levy requests
from the fire and library districts. Hence, affected cities may have a higher or lower
allowable levy rate than is shown here when final levy rates are calculated.
2) This figure shows the maximum allowable levy, which may differ from any actual prior levy
if a district has levied less than its maximum in prior years. The maximum allowable levy
excludes any allowable refund levy if the maximum was based on a limit factor. The
maximum allowable levy excludes omitted assessments if the maximum was determined by
your district's statutory rate limit. If your district passed a limit factor ordinance in the year
indicated, that limit factor would help determine the highest allowable levy. However, if the
statutory rate limit was more restrictive than your stated limit factor, the statutory rate limit is
controlling.
3) Any increase in value in state -assessed property is considered to be new construction value
for purposes of calculating the respective limits. State -assessed property is property
belonging to inter -county utility and transportation companies (telephone, railroad, airline
companies and the like).
4) An omitted assessment is property value that should have been included on a prior year's roll
but will be included on the tax roll for which this worksheet has been prepared. Omits are
assessed and taxed at the rate in effect for the year omitted (RCW 84.40.080-085). Omitted
assessments tax is deducted from the levy maximum before calculating the levy rate for
current assessments and added back in as a current year's receivable.
5) Administrative refunds under RCW 84.69.020 were removed from the levy lid by the 1981
legislature.
6) A district is entitled to the lesser of the maximum levies determined by application of the
limit under RCW 84.55 and the statutory rate limit. Levies may be subject to further
proration if aggregate rate limits set in Article VII of the state constitution and in RCW
84.52.043 are exceeded.
7) This section is provided for your information, and to assist in preparing any Increase
Ordinance that may be required by RCW 84.55.120. The increase information compares the
allowable levy for the next tax year with your ACTUAL levy being collected this year. The
actual levy excludes any refund levy and expired temporary lid lifts, if applicable. New
construction, annexation and refund levies, as well as temporary lid lifts in their initial year,
are subtracted from this year's allowable levy before the comparison is made.
8) Assessed valuations shown are subject to change from error corrections and appeal board
decisions recorded between the date of this worksheet and final levy rate determination.

SUBJECT: Ordinance to Adopt 2021 King County Surface Water Design Manual
(KCSWDM)
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
There are no financial impacts.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City of Federal Way was issued our current Phase II National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Permit on July 1, 2019. As a requirement of the permit the City has three options
for adopting an approved Stormwater Manual:
• Adopt the State of Washington (Ecology) manual,
w Adopt a Phase I Permit holder (King County) manual,
• Create our own.
Currently the City has adopted the 2016 KCSWDM. On July 23, 2021, King County released an
update to their stormwater manual. As a Phase II permit holder, the City must adopt the 2021 King
County Surface Water Design Manual by December 31, 2021.
The King County manual update responds to comments from Ecology on the King County NPDES
permit and brings the KCSWDM into compliance with the Ecology manual. Changes are updates
due to research, studies, and best available treatments since the last manual was adopted.
As part of the Ordinance, the City is also updating the City of Federal Way Revised Code Chapter
16. Chapter 16 revisions reflect code updates not included in the previous adoption and revisions
required to match the 2021 KCSWDM.
The City of Federal Way Addendum to the KCSWDM reflects definition changes, Code changes,
and reference materials updated in the 2021 manual.

proposed projects must be analyzed, designed, and constructed to provide a minimum level of
Ordinance No. 21- Page 3 of 8
protection against overtopping, flooding, erosion, and structural failure as specified in the
KCSWDM.
(e) Core Requirement #S — Erosion and Sediment Control. All proposed projects that will clear,
grade, or otherwise disturb the site must provide erosion and sediment controls to prevent, to the
maximum extent possible, the transport of sediment from the project site to downstream drainage
facilities, water resources, and adjacent properties. To prevent sediment transport, erosion and
sediment control (ESC) measures that are appropriate to the project site must be applied and
performed as described in the KCSWDM. Both temporary and permanent erosion and sediment
controls shall be implemented as described in the KCSWDM.
(f) Core Requirement #6 — Maintenance and Operations. Maintenance and operation of all
drainage facilities is the responsibility of the applicant or property owner, except those facilities
for which Federal Way is granted an easement, tract, or right-of-way and officially assumes
maintenance and operation as described in the KCSWDM. Drainage facilities must be
maintained and operated in compliance with Federal Way maintenance standards.
(g) Core Requirement 97 —Financial Guarantees and Liability. All drainage facilities
constructed or modified for projects (except downspout infiltration and dispersion systems), and
any work performed in the right-of-way, must comply with the financial guarantee requirements
in FWRC Title 19.
(h) Core Requirement #8 — Water Quality. All proposed projects, including redevelopment
projects, must provide water quality (WQ) facilities to treat the runoff from new and/or replaced
pollution -generating impervious surfaces and pollution -generating pervious surfaces.
Ordinance No. 2 1 - Page 4 of 8
Redevelopment projects may also be required to provide WQ facilities to treat existing pollution -
generating impervious surfaces. WQ facilities shall be selected and implemented according to the
KCSWDM.
(i) Core Requirement #9 — Flow Control BMPs. All proposed projects, including redevelopment
projects, must provide onsite flow control BMPs to mitigate the impacts of storm and surface
water runoff generated by new impervious surface, new pervious surface, existing impervious
surfaces, and replaced impervious surface targeted for mitigation as specified in the following
sections. Flow control BMPs must be selected and applied according to the KCSWDM.
(2) Special requirements.
(a) Special Requirement 41 — Other Adopted Area -Specific Requirements. King County has
developed several types of area -specific plans and regulations that contain requirements for
drainage design. These regulations include critical drainage areas, master drainage plans, basin
plans, lake management plans, and shared facility drainage plans. In some cases, these plans and
regulations could overlap with the city of Federal Way's jurisdictional area.
The Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound Basin Plan is the only one of these area -specific
regulations that currently affects Federal Way. King County developed this basin plan which
recommends specific land uses, regional capital projects, and special drainage requirements for
future development within the Hylebos and lower Puget Sound basin.
The drainage requirements of adopted area -specific regulations such as basin plans shall be
applied in addition to the drainage requirements of the KCSWDM and Federal Way Addendum
unless otherwise specified in the adopted regulation. Where eonflicts occur between the two, the
Ordinance No. 21- Page 5 of 8
drainage requirements of the adopted area -specific regulation shall supersede those in the
KCSWDM and Federal Way Addendum.
(b) Special Requirement #2 — Floodplain/Floodway Delineation. Floodplains and floodways are
subject to inundation during extreme events. The 100-year floodplains are delineated in order to
minimize flooding impacts to new development and to prevent aggravation of existing flooding
problems by new development. Regulations and restrictions concerning development within a
100-year floodplain are found in Federal Way's environmentally sensitive areas and flood hazard
regulations.
If an approved flood hazard study exists, then it may be used as the basis for delineating the
floodplain and floodway boundaries provided the study was prepared in a manner consistent with
the KCSWDM and other Federal Way flood hazard regulations. If an approved flood
hazard study does not exist, then one shall be prepared based on the requirements described in
Chapter 4.4.2 of the KCSWDM, "Floodplain/Floodway Analysis."
(c) Special Requirement #3 — Flood Protection Facilities. Developing sites protected by levees,
revetments, or berms requires a high level of confidence in their structural integrity and
performance. Proper analysis, design, and construction is necessary to protect against the
potentially catastrophic consequences if such facilities should fail.
The applicant is required to demonstrate conformance with FEMA regulations using the methods
specified in Chapter 4.4.2 of the KCSWDM. In addition, certain easement requirements (outlined
in Chapter 4.1 of the KCSWDM) must be met in order to allow city access for maintenance of
the facility.
Ordinance No. 21- Page 6 of 8
(d) Special Requirement #4 — Source Control. Water quality source controls, many of which are
listed in the KCSPPM and the LID Manual, prevent rainfall and runoff water from coming into
contact with pollutants, thereby reducing the likelihood that pollutants will enter public
waterways and violate water quality standards. When applicable, structural source control
measures, such as car wash pads or dumpster area roofing, shall be shown on the site
improvement plans submitted for engineering review and approval. Other nonstructural source
control measures, such as covering storage piles with plastic or isolating areas where pollutants
are used or stored, are to be implemented after occupancy and need not be addressed during the
plan review process. All commercial and industrial projects (irrespective of size) undergoing
drainage review are required to implement applicable source controls.
(e) Special Requirement #S — Oil Control. Projects proposing to develop or redevelop a high -use
site must provide oil controls in addition to any other water quality controls required by this
manual. Such sites typically generate high concentrations of oil due to high traffic turnover or the
frequent transfer of oil.
Section 3. Severability. Should any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase
of this ordinance, or its application to any person or situation, be declared unconstitutional or invalid
for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance
or its application to any other person or situation. The City Council of the City of Federal Way
hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence,
clauses, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections,
sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
Ordinance No. 21- Page 7 of 8
Section 4. Corrections. The City Clerk and the codifiers of this ordinance are authorized to
make necessary corrections to this ordinance including, but not limited to, the correction of
scrivener/clerical errors, references, ordinance numbering, section/subsection numbers and any
references thereto.
Section 5. Ratification. Any act consistent with the authority and prior to the effective date of
this ordinance is hereby ratified and affirmed.
Section 6. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days
from and after its passage and publication, as provided by law.

Way. The KCSWDM has been adopted to meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act, the
Endangered Species Act, Washington State Growth Management Act, and the City of Federal
Way's (City) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. This
addendum includes minor revisions to the KCSWDM to address the differences between King
County's and the City's organization and processes. In order to maintain equivalency in review
requirements and level of protection provided by the KCSWDM, no major substantive changes
have been made to the manual.
Addendum Organization
The information presented in this addendum is organized as follows:
Section 1: Terminology: At times King County and the City of Federal Way use
different terminology to describe, or to refer to, equivalent subject matter. This section
identifies these terms and the City of Federal Way's equivalent terminology.
Section 2: Key Revisions: This section specifically identifies the modifications the
City has made to the KCSWDM.
Section 3: Code Reference Tables: King County code is referenced in many places
throughout the KCSWDM. This section identifies these code references and equivalent
City Code where applicable.
Section 4: Reference Materials: This section identifies which reference materials
provided in the KCSWDM are applicable and which are not. It also identifies if
equivalent City of Federal Way reference materials are available.

Chapter 1: Drainage Review and Requirements
The following steps replace Section 1.1.1 of the KCSWDM:
Section 1.1.1 Projects Requiring Drainage Review
Introduction
The following steps shall be used instead of Section 1.1.1 of the KCSWDM to determine
drainage review requirements within the City of Federal Way. This process has been modified to
meet the City of Federal Way water quality review requirements and thresholds for
redevelopment identified in Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.30.120, Nonconforming
water quality improvements.
Determining Drainage Review Requirements:
Step 1
Is the project or proposed activity subject to City Code Title 16 (Surface Water Management)
pursuant to FWRC 16.15.010?
16.15.010 Regulated activities.
The following projects or activities are subject to the provisions of this title, unless exempted in
FWRC 16.15.020:
(1) Single-family residential; or
(2) Projects that add 2, 000 square feet or more of new impervious surface, replaced
impervious surface or new plus replaced impervious surface; or
(3) Projects that propose 7,000 square feet or more of land disturbing activity; or
(4) Projects that propose to construct or modify a drainage pipe/ditch that is 12 inches or
more in size/depth, or receives surface and stormwater runoff from a drainage
pipe/ditch that is 12 inches or more in size/depth; or
(5) Collection and concentration of surface and stormwater runofffrom a drainage area
of more than 5, 000 square feet; or
(6) Projects which contain, are adjacent to or directly discharge to a floodplain, stream,
lake, wetland, or closed depression, groundwater recharge area, or other water
quality sensitive area, or a receiving water with a documented water quality problem
as determined by the Public Works Director, based on a written map, policy, water
quality monitoring data or plan in existence or implemented by the director prior to
submission of a redevelopment application which is determined to trigger application
of this subsection, or based on information developed during review of a particular
redevelopment application; or
(7) Projects that involve a change in use, and the changed use has a potential to release a
new pollutant(s) to surface water systems within the city. For the purposes of this
subsection, "new pollutant(s)" means a pollutant that was not discharged at that
City of Federal Way Addendum to the
King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual
Page 4 of 23
location immediately prior to the change in use, as well as a pollutant that was
discharged in less quantities immediately prior to the change in use;
(8) Projects other than normal maintenance or other than tenant improvements, but
including any increase in gross floor area, in any one consecutive 12-month period
which exceeds 50 percent of the assessed or appraised value (whichever is greater) of
the structure or improvement; or
(9) Project proposing $100, 000 or more of improvements to an existing high use site.
[Note: the dollar amount indicated can be adjusted based on the consumer price index as
identified in the KCSWDM in section 1. 1. 1.]
Redevelopment projects that are subject to water quality improvements may phase construction
of the improvements as described in FWRC 19.30.120, Non -conforming water quality.
Step 2
Projects Subject to Title 16
Projects subject to Title 16 (Surface Water Management) shall determine water quality and
stormwater review requirements using Sections 1.1. LA (Step 3) and 1.1. LB (Step 4) of this
addendum.
Projects Not Subject to Title 16
Projects not subject to Title 16 (Surface Water Management) may still be subject to clearing and
grading review requirements pursuant to International Building Code (IBC) Appendix J and
FWRC 19.120.
Projects which are subject to clearing and grading permit requirements, but do not meet the
thresholds identified in 1.1.LB, are subject to the Erosion and Sedimentation Control (ESC)
requirements and BMPs of Core Requirement #5 and C.1.4 of the KCSWDM as applicable.
Specific ESC requirements shall be determined on a project by project basis during clearing and
grading review.
Those projects exempt from clearing and grading permit requirements, although not required to
be reviewed, are still responsible for implementing Erosion and Sedimentation Control (ESC)
measures to maintain a stable site and mitigate offsite impacts.
Step 3
LLLA PROJECTS REQUIRING WATER QUALITY REVIEW
Water Quality Review (Core Requirement #8) is required for any proposed project (except those
proposing only maintenance) that is subject to a City of Federal Way development permit or
approval, AND that meets any one of the following conditions:
New Development
1. The project adds or will result in 2,000 square feet or more of new impervious surface; OR
City of Federal Way Addendum to the
King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual
Page 5 of 23
2. The project proposes 7,000 square feet or more of land disturbing activity; OR
3. The project proposes to construct or modify a drainage pipe/ditch that is 12 inches or more in
size/depth, or receives surface and stormwater runoff from a drainage pipe/ditch that is 12
inches or more in size/depth; OR
4. The project contains or is adjacent to "frequently flooded areas" or "special flood hazards" as
defined in FWRC 14.05 and 19.142.050; OR
5. The project is located within a Critical Drainage Area, OR
Redevelopment t (meeting the definition identified in FWRC 19.30.120)
6. Redevelopment which involves the creation or addition of impervious surfaces having an area
of 5,000 square feet or more; OR
7. Redevelopment which involves the construction or replacement of a building footprint or
other structure having a surface area of 5,000 square feet or more, or which involves the
expansion of a building footprint or other structure by 5,000 square feet of surface area or
more; OR
8. Redevelopment which involves the repair or replacement of 5,000 square feet or more of an
impervious surface, when such redevelopment is not part of a routine maintenance activity;
OR
9. Redevelopment which involves the collection and/or concentration of surface and/or
stormwater runoff from a drainage area of 5,000 square feet or more; OR
10. Redevelopment which contains or directly discharges to a floodplain, stream, lake, wetland,
or closed depression, groundwater recharge area, or other water quality sensitive area
determined by the Public Works Director, based on a written map, policy, water quality
monitoring data or plan in existence or implemented by the Public Works Director prior to
submission of a redevelopment application which is determined to trigger application of this
subsection, or based on information developed during review of a particular redevelopment
application;
11. Redevelopment which involves a change in use, and the changed use has a potential to
release a new pollutant(s) to surface water systems within the city. For the purposes of this
subsection, "new pollutant(s)" means a pollutant that was not discharged at that location
immediately prior to the change in use, as well as a pollutant that was discharged in less
quantities immediately prior to the change in use;
"Redevelopment" means a project that proposes to add, replace, or modify impervious surface (for purposes other
than a residential subdivision or maintenance) on a site that is already substantially developed in a manner
consistent with its current zoning, or with a legal nonconforming use, or has an existing impervious surface
coverage of 35 percent or more. Water quality for the entire subject property must be brought into compliance
with FWRC Title 16, where the proposed redevelopment meets or exceeds the thresholds set forth, and shall be
done in accordance with the approved King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual or equivalent, as
amended. FWRC 19.30.120)
City of Federal Way Addendum to the
King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual
Page 6 of 23
12. Redevelopment, other than normal maintenance or other than the tenant improvements, but
including any increase in gross floor area, in any one consecutive 12-month period which
exceeds 50 percent of the assessed or appraised value (whichever is greater) of the structure
or improvement being redeveloped. The applicant may provide an appraisal of the
improvement. The appraisal must be from a source acceptable to the City. The Public Works
Director may require the applicant to provide an appraisal from a second source acceptable to
the City if the assessed valuation appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. If more than one
appraisal is provided by the applicant or required by the City, the greater of the two amounts
shall be used. For purposes of determining value under this section, improvements required
pursuant to FWRC 19.30.090 (nonconforming development), FWRC 19.30.110
(street/sidewalk improvements), this section (nonconforming water quality improvements)
and FWRC 19.135.030 (street/sidewalk improvements) shall not be counted towards the 50
percent threshold which would trigger application of this subsection;
13. Redevelopment of property which drains or discharges to a receiving water that has a
documented water quality problem, as determined by the Public Works Director based on a
map, plan, water quality monitoring data or a written policy in existence or implemented by
the Public Works Director prior to submission of a redevelopment application determined to
trigger application of this subsection, where the Public Works Director determines that the
redevelopment requires additional specific controls to address the documented water quality
problem.
Water Quality Review for "Redevelopment"
Projects meeting the "redevelopment" definition and thresholds identified in this section are
subject to Core Requirement #8 for the entire site Z pursuant to the city's Nonconformance code
(FWRC 19.30.120). Please note that application of Core Requirement #8 differs between
redevelopment and new development as indicated in Section 1.2.8 of this addendum.
Step 4
LLLB PROJECTS REQUIRING STORMWATER REVIEW
Stormwater Review is required for any proposed project (except those proposing only
maintenance) that is subject to a City of Federal Way development permit or approval, AND
that meets any one of the following conditions (see Figure 1.1.1.B for flow chart):
1. The project adds or will result in 2,000 square feet or more of new impervious surface,
replaced impervious surface, or new plus replaced impervious surface; OR
Site (a.k.a. development site) means a single parcel as established by the King County Department of
Assessments, or two or more contiguous parcels that are under common ownership or documented
legal control, used as a single parcel for purposes of applying for authority from King County to carry
out a development/project proposal. For projects located primarily within dedicated rights -of -way, site
includes the entire width of right-of-way within the total length of right-of-way subject to improvements
proposed by the project.
City of Federal Way Addendum to the
King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual
Page 7 of 23
2. The project proposes 7,000 square feet or more of land disturbing activity; OR
3. The project proposes to construct or modify a drainage pipe/ditch that is 12 inches or more in
size/depth, or receives surface and stormwater runoff from a drainage pipe/ditch that is 12
inches or more in size/depth; OR
4. The project contains or is adjacent to "frequently flooded areas" or "special flood hazards" as
defined in FWRC 14.05.030 and 19.142.050; OR
5. The project is located within a Critical Drainage Area; OR
6. The project is a redevelopment project 3 proposing $100,000' or more of improvements to an
existing high -use site; OR
7. The project is a redevelopment project on a single- or multiple -parcel site in which the total
of new plus replaced impervious surface is 5,000 square feet or more and whose valuation
of proposed improvements (including interior improvements and excluding required
mitigation and frontage improvements) exceeds 50% of the assessed value of the existing
site improvements.
If stormwater review is required for the proposed project, the type of review must be determined
based on project and site characteristics as described in Section 1.1.2 of the KCSWDM.
3 For the purposes of this section "Redevelopment project" means a project that proposes to add,
replace, or modify impervious surfaces for purposes other than a residential subdivision or
maintenance on a site that is already substantially developed in a manner consistent with its current
zoning or with a legal non -conforming use, or has an existing impervious surface coverage of 35% or
more. The following examples illustrate the application of this definition. (KCSWDM Chpt. 1)
4 This is the "project valuation" as declared on the submitted permit application. The dollar amount of
this threshold is considered to be as of January 8, 2001 and may be adjusted on an annual basis using
the local consumer price index (CPI). Note: January 8, 2001 is the effective date of the ESA 4(d) Rule
for Puget Sound Chinook salmon.

Cited Federal Way Revised Code
The following are applicable excerpts from the City of Federal Way Revised Code and provided
for convenience. In the event of discrepancies or subsequent code updates, the adopted City code
governs.
16.05.180 R definitions.
"Redevelopment"
For the purposes of determining water quality review requirements "redevelopment" -means, a
project that proposes to add, replace, or modify impervious surface (for purposes other than a
residential subdivision or maintenance) on a site that is already substantially developed in a
manner consistent with its current zoning, or with a legal nonconforming use, or has an
existing impervious surface coverage of 35 percent or more. Water quality for the entire
subject property must be brought into compliance with FWRC Title 16, where the proposed
redevelopment meets or exceeds the thresholds set forth, and shall be done in accordance with
the approved King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual or equivalent, as
amended. (FWRC 19.30.120)
For the purposes of determining flow control and other stormwater review requirements, the
definition of "redevelopment project" identified in the KCSWDM applies.
16.15.010 Regulated activities.
The following projects or activities are subject to the provisions of this title, unless exempted in
FWRC 16.15.020:
(1) Single-family residential; or
(2) Projects that add 2,000 square feet or more of new impervious surface, replaced
impervious surface or new plus replaced impervious surface; or
(3) Projects that propose 7,000 square feet or more of land disturbing activity; or

quality monitoring data or plan in existence or implemented by the director prior to
submission of a redevelopment application which is determined to trigger application
of this subsection, or based on information developed during review of a particular
redevelopment application; or
(7) Projects that involve a change in use, and the changed use has a potential to release a
new pollutant(s) to surface water systems within the city. For the purposes of this
subsection, "new pollutant(s) " means a pollutant that was not discharged at that
City of Federal Way Addendum to the
King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual
Page 17 of 23
location immediately prior to the change in use, as well as a pollutant that was
discharged in less quantities immediately prior to the change in use; or
(8) Projects other than normal maintenance or other than tenant improvements, but
including any increase in gross floor area, in any one consecutive 12-month period
which exceeds 50 percent of the assessed or appraised value (whichever is greater) of

All other new development and redevelopment is subject to the requirements of this title.
19.30.120 Nonconforming water quality improvements.
This section sets forth the standards when and under what circumstances a subject property
that does not conform to the development regulations in FWRC Title 16 relating to water quality
must be brought into compliance.
(1) Redevelopment. For the purposes of this section, "redevelop" or "redevelopment" means
a project that proposes to add, replace, or modify impervious surface (for purposes other
than a residential subdivision or maintenance) on a site that is already substantially
developed in a manner consistent with its current zoning, or with a legal nonconforming
use, or has an existing impervious surface coverage of 35 percent or more. Water quality
for the entire subject property must be brought into compliance with FWRC Title 16,
where the proposed redevelopment meets or exceeds the thresholds set forth below
pursuant to this chapter, and shall be done in accordance with the approved King County,
Washington Surface Water Design Manual or equivalent, as amended.
(a) Redevelopment which involves the creation or addition of impervious surfaces
having an area of 5,000 square feet or more;
(b) Redevelopment which involves the construction or replacement of a building
footprint or other structure having a surface area of 5,000 square feet or more, or
which involves the expansion of a building footprint or other structure by 5,000
square feet of surface area or more;
City of Federal Way Addendum to the
King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual
Page 18 of 23
(c) Redevelopment which involves the repair or replacement of 5,000 square feet or
more of an impervious surface, when such redevelopment is not part of a routine
maintenance activity;
(d) Redevelopment which involves the collection and/or concentration of surface and/or
stormwater runoff from a drainage area of 5,000 square feet or more;
(e) Redevelopment which contains or directly discharges to a floodplain, stream, lake,
wetland, or closed depression, groundwater recharge area, or other water quality
sensitive area determined by the Public Works Director, based on a written map,
policy, water quality monitoring data or plan in existence or implemented by the
Public Works Director prior to submission of a redevelopment application which is
determined to trigger application of this subsection, or based on information
developed during review of a particular redevelopment application;
(f) Redevelopment which involves a change in use, and the changed use has a potential
to release a new pollutant(s) to surface water systems within the city. For the
purposes of this subsection, "new pollutant(s) " means a pollutant that was not
discharged at that location immediately prior to the change in use, as well as a
pollutant that was discharged in less quantities immediately prior to the change in
use;
(g) Redevelopment, other than normal maintenance or other than the tenant
improvements, but including any increase in gross floor area, in any one consecutive
12-month period which exceeds 50 percent of the assessed or appraised value
(whichever is greater) of the structure or improvement being redeveloped. The
appraisal must be from a state -certified general appraiser. For purposes of
determining value under this section, improvements required pursuant to FWRC
19.30.090 (nonconforming development), 19.30.110 (street/sidewalk
improvements), this section (nonconforming water quality improvements) and
FWRC 19.135.030 (street/sidewalk improvements) shall not be counted towards the
50 percent threshold which would trigger application of this subsection;
(h) Redevelopment of property which drains or discharges to a receiving water that has
a documented water quality problem, as determined by the Public Works Director
based on a map, plan, water quality monitoring data or a written policy in existence
or implemented by the Public Works Director prior to submission of a
redevelopment application determined to trigger application of this subsection,
where the Public Works Director determines that the redevelopment requires
additional specific controls to address the documented water quality problem.
(2) Timing. All improvements required by this section shall be constructed or installed
concurrent with the redevelopment triggering application of this section, unless an
applicant for redevelopment opts to pursue incremental construction of required
improvements. In that event, the applicant shall develop and submit to the Public Works
Director a stormwater management plan detailing all of the improvements required by this
section, and proceed according to the following subsections:
(a) Extent of construction of required water quality improvements. Where the Public
Works Director determines that incremental construction is physically feasible, the
applicant shall construct that portion of the required improvements according to the
following schedule:
City of Federal Way Addendum to the
King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual
Page 19 of 23
% of Redevelopment
% of Water Quality Improvements
0-24
25
25 — 49
50
>50
1100
Where construction of 100 percent of water quality improvements is required under
this subsection, the improvements may be constructed over a period extending no
more than five years from the date of approval of the redevelopment. A person
choosing to utilize such extended construction shall provide, prior to approval of the
stormwater management plan, a performance bond and bond agreement that:
(i) Have a term equal to the construction schedule proposed in the plan; and
(ii) Comply with the applicable requirements of Chapter 19.25 FWRC, as amended.
(b) Incremental construction not feasible. Where the Public Works Director determines
that incremental construction is not physically feasible, 100 percent of the required
water quality improvements must be installed, concurrent with the redevelopment.
(c) Calculation of redevelopment value. For purposes of calculating the value of
redevelopment in order to apply subsection (2)(a) of this section, the Public Works
Director shall consider the cost of the proposed redevelopment as a percentage of the
assessed or appraised value of all structures on the subject property. The appraisal
must be from a state -certified real estate appraiser.
(d) Subsequent redevelopment. Whenever any person seeks approval for redevelopment
on property for which incremental construction of required water quality
improvements was previously authorized pursuant to this subsection (2), any
additional water quality improvements to be required shall be determined by
application of the schedule in subsection (2)(a) of this section based on the
stormwater management plan prepared as part of the first request for authorization of
incremental construction. If water quality requirements have changed since
preparation of the initial stormwater management plan, a new plan shall be prepared
detailing improvements required to comply with any existing and new requirements,
and the schedule in subsection (2)(a) of this section shall also be applied to the new
plan.
(3) Location of water quality improvements. A person proposing redevelopment on a
property or site having a Federal Way comprehensive plan designation of CC-F (city
center frame) or CC-C (city center core) may construct water quality facilities required
by this section below grade.
19.120.030 Exemptions.
