APPROVAL OF SUMMARY
Chair Kochmar and Council member Park approved the April 8 meeting minutes.
BUSINESS ITEMS
Washin¡:ton Campail!n to Promote Racial Justice
Matheson stated that in February, the Association of Washington Cities (A WC) sent a letter to cities regarding the
campaign to promote racial justice. This is an effort to create a greater understanding of racism and remove
barriers. The Diversity Commission was asked to review the program. This program is a networking opportunity
for Washington Cities on diversity issues. It asks cities to create racial justice and diversity efforts. The campaign
is very similar to the Diversity Commission's purpose and mission statements. Matheson reviewed the three
strategies of this campaign. Matheson is not recommending that the city participate in their pilot project, because
the City has already taken steps in addressing theses issues. This program would allow Federal Way to take
advantage of other cities' knowledge, and to share the commission's experiences with other cities. The Diversity
Commission recommends that the City Council authorize the city to join the A WC Campaign using the Diversity
Commission mission statement as the city's pledge statement. Matheson will be the contact person, and there are no
expenditures from the City. Council member Park moved to place this item on the May 21 City Council
agenda with a recommendation that the full City Council authorize Federal Way to join the A WC Campaign
for Racial Justice using the Diversity Commission mission statement as the city's pledge statement. Kochmar
seconded. Motion passed.
Authorization to Enter into Interl!overnmental Al!reement with Washinl!ton State Department of Personnel-
Retreat Facilitator
O'Donnell stated that the Human Services Commission has used Debbie Rough-Mack as the facilitator of their
annual retreats for the past five years. The City Attorney's Office advised the commission that City Council
approval is required because Rough-Mack works for the Washington State Department of Personnel. The City's

Request for Proposal- Police Dry Cleaning Services for Uniforms and Plain Clothes
Brian Wilson informed the Council Committee that the Department of Public Safety is processing a Request for
Proposal to provide dry cleaning services of Uniform and Plainclothes. In the past the contract has been for
uniforms only. The plainclothes dry cleaning services are intended for Command Staff and Detectives. The
Department will come back to the Council Committee when the bids have been received.
Dumas Bay Restoration Project Final Cost Estimate/Authorization to Bid
Faber reported that on April 9 the City Council approved the final design for the Dumas Bay Restoration Project.
Faber stated that the final cost estimate has not changed, but they have not asked for authorization to bid. The
funding sources are from the general fund budget, and the ALEA Grant. Chair Kochmar asked how Faber was
going to go out to bid. Faber answered she would follow the purchasing process for bids. Council member Park
moved to recommend to Council a "do pass" to accept the final cost estimate in the amount oC$516,822.00 Cor
the Dumas Bay Restoration Project, approve the public bid process and to place this tem be Core Council on
June 4, 2002. Chair Kochmar seconded. Motion passed.
Sae:halie Junior Hie:h Interlocal Ae:reement Amendment
Reuter reported that during the summer of2001, City staff was performing repairs to the irrigation system at
Saghalie Park. During the work, staff discovered that the water meters were incorrectly marked. Staff from the
City, Federal Way School District and Lakehaven Utility District met on site to confmn the correct identification of
the water meters. The amendment to the Interlocal Agreement formalizes and documents these corrections. The
City of Federal Way law department prepared the Amendment. Council member Park moved to recommend to
Council a "do pass", to accept approval of the First Amendment to the Interlocal Cooperative Agreement
Between Federal Way School district No. 210 and the City oCFederal Way and place this item beCore Council
on May 21~ 2002. Chair Kochmar seconded. Motion passed.
Parks and Recreation Commissions Recommendation Cor a Parks 6-year Capital Improvement Plan
Reuter reports the Parks and Recreation Commission 6-year CIP sub-committee held a public meeting, and has met
several times in the past months. The commission toured all of the city's neighborhood and community parks.
They also looked at the condition of the parks, their uses, and evaluated future needs for athletic fields, .
neighborhood parks and trails. Chair Kocbmar asked what is the commission's highest priority. Chair Purdom
responded the highest priority is getting more use out of the athletic fields. This includes the all weather turf, and
increased lighting. Discussion was held regarding King County Parks. . Reuter stated that the County has sent a
letter requesting that a meeting take place with County representatives to discuss what the interest is on the part of
the City to maintain and operate and/or take ownership of the five County properties within the City's PAA. The
pools were not mentioned in this letter. Chair Kochmar stated that if this were to òccur, and the County was to
turnover the operations of the Parks, there would need tobe a discussion on priorities. Council member Park would
like a brief report/presentation at the June 4 City Council meeting. This report/presentation will include further
elaboration on the priorities of the 6 year CIP plan, and emerging issues with King County Park District.
2002 Interlocal Ae:reement for Waterfowl Manal!ement Prol!ram
The purpose of this agreement is to provide the joint funding to contract with the Wildlife Services Program of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture to manage the Canada Geese population within King County. The plan will include
an egg addling program, lethal control, and population monitoring. The City participated in this program last year.
The City's contribution is limited to $3,400. Reuter stated the program was very effective last year. Chair Kochmar
asked Reuter to explain the egg addling. Reuter responded that egg addling is an oil treatment that is put on the eggs
to prevent them from hatching. Council member Park moved to approve the 2002 Interlocal Agreement for
Waterfowl (Canada Goose) Management Program and Corward to Cull Council at the May 21 meeting Cor
consideration to authorize the City Manager to execute the Interlocal Agreement. Chair Kochmar seconded.

PENDING ITEMS
Deputy Chief Wilson was asked to update the committee on the past weekends activities. Wilson responded that the
Public Safety Department had a very successful and productive week. The search warrants that were issued for
stolen fuearms were very successful. They had warrants for four different residences. Three out of the four
locations turned up stolen fuearms. They are now matching the recovered fuearms to burglaries in the City. At the
same time this operation was going on, there were two armed robberies that occurred. A patrol officer spotted a
vehicle involved in a carjacking at the Pointe of Redondo. Four suspects were eventually arrested. The department
is able to link six robberies, a home invasion robbery, carjacking and six other crimes that these four individuals
committed over a period of 36 hours. The department is familiar with these people. They are from this area. There
were three commercial burglaries on Friday night. After the third burglary, the police apprehended the suspect with
evidence from that burglary. Council member Park asked about the possibility of the department hosting another
gun buy back program. Wilson answered that this was certainly something the department could pursue. Wilson
stated that promoting gun safety and security in the City is also an effective campaign.
Reuter reported that in reference to King County Parks, the draft proposal is due to the Executive's office on June
l2.

Regional Disaster Plan for Public and Private Organization in King County
Backl!round: State law WAC 118.06-30 and RCW 38.52 authorizes and directs cities to have emergency
management plans, but provides minimal guidance to special purpose districts, businesses and non-profit
agencies. The Regional Disaster Plan will allow potentially hundreds of entities to behave in a coordinated
manner following a severe disruption. Participation in the Regional Disaster Plan is voluntary and a list of the
signatories to date is attached. Participation in the plan provides a legal framework within which organizations
in King County can share resources in times oflarger scale emergencies. There are five documents included in
the plan:
.
The Omnibus Legal & Financial Agreement
The "Basic Plan"
Appendix 1: Direction and Coordination
Emergency Support Function 1: Transportation
Emergency Support Function B: Health and Medical Services

Regional Disaster Plan for 'Public and Private Organizations
in King County
What is the Plan?
. Elected officials from Seattle, Suburban Cities and King County, serving on the Regional
Policy Committee of King County, passed a motion in October 1998 to initiate the
development of a regional disaster plan for King County
. The plan will provide the framework needed to inter-link the emergency response plans of a
wide range of organizations
. The plan will allow potentially hundreds of entities to behave in a coordinated manner
following a severe disruption; "who is going to do what"
. Representatives from local government, specific emergency functions, schools, private
sector, hospitals and other stakeholder groups have been involved in creating this plan
. The plan emphasizes collaborative response operations that capitalize on geographical
coordination within the county that are already utilized by fire and emergency medical
services
. This plan will streamline the information necessary to assess the county-wide impacts of
disasters and increase the speed and efficiency of the relief effort
. It will also assist with larger scale emergencies such as large aircraft accidents or hazardous
material incidents
Your Role as an Elected Official
. As an elected official, who establishes public policy for your jurisdiction or agency, you have
an obligation to ensure the safety of your community and citizens
. State law (RCW 38.52) requires incorporated cities to have emergency management
programs
. However, minimal guidelines exist formulti-disciplinary or multi-jurisdictional response
involving municipalities, fire districts and private industry
. To ensure proper emergency response to the citizens of King County, regardless if they
reside in a city, district or unincorporated area, the region needs to be prepared to work
together
. Elected officials support for this regional planning is CRUCIAL to the success of these efforts
Timeline & Goals
. Some jurisdictions and agencies in the four different county zones have been working on
developing their collaborative response plans
. The completed plan will go to the Emergency Management Advisory Committee (EMAC)
prior to being forwarded to all the participating entities for formal approval of the plan
. Upon approval from all participants, the plan will move forward to the Regional Policy
Committee
How You. as an Elected Official. Can Help
. Provide the support internally towards your organization's emergency management efforts
. Support and participate in the regional planning process
. Interact and become involved with your neighboring jurisdictions, agencies and districts
regarding emergency management endeavors
. Join in the plan when official participation is asked through individual jurisdiction and
business sign-on's

May 24,2001 Elected Officials Disaster Forum
Executive Summary
King County is 2,134 square miles of diverse terrain with almost 1.7 million people, 39
cities, over 100 other taxing districts (fire, school, water/sewer, etc.), and over 500
elected officials. The county faces periodic river valley and urban flooding events,
earthquakes, severe weather, hazardous materials releases, and transportation accidents,
and it has the potential to be affected by volcanic and terrorist activity.
State law requires that cities and counties have emergency programs, but provides only
minimal guidance to special purpose districts, businesses, and non-profits. State statutes
offer minimal guidance on multi-disciplinary or multi-jurisdictional disaster responses.
The population density, complex system of governance, and significant risks we face (for
both natural and technological disasters) create the need to plan for a coordinated
response among public and private entities in the county.
The Regional Policy Committee of King County, comprised of elected officials from
Seattle, Suburban Cities, and King County, passed a motion in October, 1998, that
initiated development of a regional disaster plan for King County. This Regional Disaster
Plan for Public and Private Ore:anizations in Kine: County provides the framework needed
to inter-link the emergency response plans of a wide range of organizations. By
conveying "who is going to do what" among all public and private organizations, this
plan allows potentially hundreds of entities to behave in a coordinated manner following
a severe disruption.
The process for creating this plan involved representatives from local government,
specific emergency functions, schools, private sector, hospitals, and other stakeholder
groups.
. The plan emphasizes collaborative response operations, capitalizing on geographical
coordination within the County already utilized by fire and emergency medical services.
The goal is to streamline the infonnation necessary to assess county-wide impacts of
disaster and increase the speed and efficiency of the relief effort.
Activation of this plan may be for an intense, localized event, or a widespread regional or
catastrophic event. It is intended to be activated in conjunction with other state and local
emergency plans. Mutual Aid Agreements are still the "first line of defense" for plan
participants. Because mutual aid (sharing with '~like" agencies) may be unavailable
during regional disasters, the plan defines the legal and fmancial ground rules for
resource sharing among plan.
(\-y
The Regional Disaster Plan for Public and Private Organizations in King County is being
designed using the model of the Federal Response Plan; i.e. basic plan followed by a
series of "Emergency Support Functions" such as communications and transportation.
The Regional Policy Committee has provided its endorsement ofthe work completed on
the Omnibus Legal and Financial Agreement and early drafts of several Emergency
Support Functions.
The Regional Disaster Planning Task Force has developed three other documents as part
of the initial phase of planning work. This "Basic Plan Package" includes:
. The Omnibus Legal and Financial Agreement
. The "Basic Plan"
. The Basic Plan's Appendix 1: Direction and Coordination, and
. Emergency Support Function 7: Resource Support.
This initial "Basic Plan Package" will be sent to participating organizations for their
signatures.
Changes to the Omnibus Agreement, the Basic Plan, the Plan's Appendices, or any ESFs
will be developed by the Task Force and then reviewed and approved by the Emergency
Management Advisory Committee prior to being sent to participating organizations for
their endorsement.
Following the initial Basic Plan Package, other Emergency Support Functions, or ESFs,
for the Regional Plan will be developed. The Task Force has selected four ESFs as their
priority for the remainder of2001: .
. Health and Medical Services
. Communications
. Transportation
. Debris Management
These ESFs will be submitted to all participating entities for review and approval as they
are developed.
Participation in. the Regional Disaster Plan is voluntary and its success will be dependent
upon widespread endorsement of various cities and organizations throughout the County.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Regional Disaster Planning in King County
1. Why do we need a Regional Disaster Plan?
King County is 2,134 square miles of diverse terrain with over 1.7 million people, 39 cities, over
120 special districts (fire, school, water/sewer, etc.) and over 600 elected officials. The county
faces many natural (flooding, earthquakes, severe weather) and technological disasters
(hazardous materials releases, transportation accidents, civil unrest). RCW 38.52.070 requires
cities and counties to have emergency management programs, but minimal or no guidance is
provided to special purpose districts, businesses and non-profits. With the dense population and
complex system of governance and significant risks, disasters present the need to plan for a
coordinated response among govemments, non-profits and businesses. .. Potentially hundreds of
entities would behave in a coordinated manner during a severe regionaL disruption. This plan
focuses exclusively on disaster response and may be applied to any~event that concurrently
challenges multiple jurisdictións or multiple disciplines.'
2. What makes this plan different?
This agreement pioneers new territory as a cooperative endeavor, in that any private business,
nonprofit organization, government agency or special purpose district can choose to be a
signatory and participate with this plan. Any regional response in geographic King County will not
be "perfect" This plan is an attempt to .create a shared concept for how individual, autonomous
private and nonprofit organizations, and government agencies and jurisdictions will work together
in times of extreme emergency or disaster. It supplements - NOT replaces - the loea'
emergency plans required by state statute.
3. Why is the private sector involved in this plan?
Disasters don't respect jurisdictional boundaries, let alone economic environments. The citizens
expect that public, private and non-profit entities know how to work together to effectively respond
to and recover from a disaster. Whether we represent a public, private or non-profit, we are all
stakeholders and interconnected to the continued viability of our communities. The private and
non-profit sectors provide services and have resources that are critical during regional response
efforts, and their availability and use can be coordinated through this regional plan.
4. Don't we already have mutual aid agreements that exist for this purpose?
Very few official mutual aid agreements exit within King County. A number of sewer and water
districts participate in the "Washington's Water & Sewer Agencies Mutual Aid Agreement" For
the fire service, the "King County Fire Resource Plan" exists. A number of public works
departments have also signed on the "Public Works Mutual Aid Agreement" Hazardous material
response teams have an existing mutual aid agreement within Zone 4 (between Federal Way and
Port of Seattle). Mutual aid is a pre-agreed sharing of resources between entities to support
response activities. This plan will go beyond just a mutual aid that provides assistance within a
discipline. This plan will facilitate cross-zone and cross-discipline sharing of resources. The
typical sort of emergency for which this framework plan is designed will overwhelm the mutual aid
systems available on a daily basis.
05/30/02
r\-lp
Page 2
5. Does this plan put King County government in charge?
This is a voluntary and cooperative agreement. In no way is King County government in charge.
The key is coordination rather than control, and the Appendix One to this plan reflects that...
"Direction and Coordination." No participating organization has "control" or authority over another
except where stated in federal, state or local laws. The "ReQional Disaster Plan for Public and
Private Oroanizations in Kino County" may only be initiated by a chief elected official (or their
designated representative) of a public jurisdiction or agency. An example of an appropriate use
of the Regional Plan may be by: (1) A jurisdiction's formal proclamation of a disaster; (2) A
jurisdiction in anticipation of exhausting all normal capabilities, resources and zone mutual aid
available to the jurisdiction(s).
6. How can we be sure our personal interests will be protected?
All participating organizations, agencies and districts will commit all their available resources to
address their internal challenges BEFORE supporting a wider regional response. Participation in
this plan does in no way impose any partnership obligation or liability upon any participating
organization. Signatory entities that offer available resources and services do so voluntarily, but
in the context of working within a coordinated response system. All regional coordination
activities will NOT supercede the authority of, or take over the resources, assets, or personnel of
those public, private and non-profit organizations.
7. What if there are parts of the plan we don't agree with?
The planning process for this disaster plan has been a collaborative one involving various
representatives from a broad range of participating organizations. The overall goal is to
achieve a document that is accepted by the majority agencies. Compromise has been a key
element of the planning process. Organizations need to decide if they wish to participate or
feel confident that their internal resources are sufficient for any disaster. This plan is a living
document and suggested changes will be reviewed annually by the Task Force and the
Emergency Management Advisory Committee (EMAC).
8. What will this cost my jurisdiction, district or agency?
An "Omnibus Legal and Financial Agreement" has been developed to provide the legal platform
for resource sharing among participating organizations. The ground rules encourage a sense of
security to those with available resources so they feel safe in offering assistance without risking
excessive losses or liabilities, as well as establishing an accounting /billing process that is
congruent with FEMA polices to encourage appropriate financial recovery. Resources and
services that are loaned to other participating organizations will remain under the operational
control of the borrowing entity until recalled or replaced by the lending entity.
9. When will the plan be implemented?
The "Basic Plan Package" (consisting of the Plan, Omnibus Legal & Financial Agreement,
Appendix One, Emergency Support Function (ESF) 1-Transportation, 2-Communications, 7-
Resource Support, and 8-Health and Medical Services), at the first step, will be sent out to all
participating jurisdictions for "formal" coordination and review. From there the Regional Disaster
Planning Task Force (RDPTF) will revise, forward to the Emergency Management Advisory
Committee (EMAC), then send to the Regional Policy Committee and on to the King County
Council for final approval. This planning process does take time. It took Washington State
Emergency Management over ten years to develop their state-wide comprehensive emergency
management plan.

Without prejudice to a Lender's right to indemnification under
Article XIV herein, in the event loaned equipment is lost or
damaged while being dispatched to Borrower, or while in the
custody and use of the Borrower, or while being returned to the
Lender, Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for the reasonable
cost of repairing said damaged equipment. If the equipment

capability. Any detenninations of what constitutes "equal
condition and capability" shall be at the discretion,of the Lender.

Lender's operator(s).

loaned personnel. The Subscribing Organizations' Emergency Contact Points or

Lender under the tenus of this Omnibus Agreement. Lender personnel providing

organizational units will come under the operational control of the command
structure of the Borrower. Lender shall not be liable for cessation or slowdown of
work if Lender's employees decline or are reluctant to perfonn any assigned tasks
if said employees judge such task to be unsafe. A request for loaned personnel to
direct the activities of others during a particular rèsponse operation does not
relieve the Borrower of any responsibility or create any liability on the part of the
Lender for decisions and/or consequences of the response operation. Loaned
personnel may refuse to direct the activities of others without creating any liability
on the part of the Lender. Any valid licenses issued to Lender personnel by
. Lender or Lender's state, relating to the skills required for the emergency work,

materials and equipment, and the Borrower is responsible for any required
documentation of use of material and equipment for state or federal
reimbursement. The documentation will be presented to the
AdministrationlFinance Section of the Incident Management structure. Under all
circumstances, the Borrower remains responsible for ensuring that the amou~t and
quality of all documentation is adequate to enable disaster reimbursement.

Renton Jail Services Interlocal Agreement
From:
Via:
Subject:
Background:
The language in the proposed Renton Jail Service Interlocal Agreement is similar to the Fife
Interlocal Agreement. However, the intent of the Renton Agreement is to provide for cost
effective transitional housing for inmates (1) waiting to be transported to serve their sentence in
the Yakima County Jail; or (2) waiting to be transported to the Municipal Court provided that the
Council approves and executes the proposed long-term Yakima County Jail Services Interlocal
Agreement. Accordingly, Section 2 entitled "Compensation" addresses the situation whereby the
inmate is at the Renton Jail for a few hours before being transported.
Additionally, unlike Fife, the Renton Agreement also provides housing for female inmates
provided there is available bed space.
Staff recommends that the Parks RecreationlHuman ServiceslPublic Safety Council Committee
approve the proposed Renton Agreement contingent upon approval of the proposed long-term
Yakima County Jail Agreement.
Committee Recommendation:
Approve the Renton Jail Services Interlocal Agreement and forward to full Council for consideration
at the June 18, 2002, Council meeting.

Yakima County Jail Services Interlocal Agreements
From:
Via:
Subject:
Back2round:
In an effort to contain spiraling jail costs, in 1999 the City of Federal Way began contracting with
jurisdictions other than King County for jail services. The City Council approved an interlocal
agreement with the City of Fife for misdemeanor defendants incarcerated prior to being
sentenced or those with short sentences. Post-sentence misdemeanants with longer sentences are
sent to Chelan, Okanogan, and Yakima County jails. Nevertheless, some Federal Way prisoners
are still being sent to King County jail, either because they are female (Fife jail accepts only male
prisoners), or because the prisoners have charges from other jurisdictions on which they are
awaiting trial and transporting them over the mountains would create tQ9 many problems and
costs during their subsequent proceedings.
In May, 2001, King County gave Federal Way and other cities notice oftermination of the jail
contract. During the course of negotiations over a new jail contract with King County, the
County proposed to cut back the cities' jail capacity in the near term and to eventually cease
providing cities misdemeanor jail services entirely. The cities then began pro actively exploring
other options by which the cities could collectively and efficiently contract for misdemeanant jail
services. During the course of these discussions, the cities were approached by Yakima County
about a long-term jail contract under which Yakima County (rather than King County) would be
the primary provider of the cities' jail services.
Yakima already contracts with several cities west of the Cascades (including Federal Way). Its
jail operation has been financially successful, so much so that Yakima County has already
designed and is ready to go to bid to build an additional wing to its facility to provide additional
jail capacity. This allows Yakima County to commit to provide a specific number of jail beds to
each city out to a specific future date, and agree to make additional capacity available as it
occurs, as opposed to King County's approach, which is to reduce the city's use of the King
County jail even while jail costs per inmate are increasing.
In addition, Yakima's jail is a modem, state-of-the-art facility, and Yakima provides
comprehensive in-custody alcohol and substance abuse treatment to offenders. This kind of
treatment is offered only minimally at the King County jail, even though such treatment is
commonly imposed as a condition of sentence, and such treatment is often difficult for offenders
to obtain outside of jail because of expense and ~ong waiting periods. In fact, due to budgetary
considerations, King County is considering phasing out the limited treatment services it does
provide at its North End Rehabilitation Facility ("NERF").
Yakima County has also agreed to provide video links to the cities' municipal courts, as well as
daily transports to and from the Yakima jail to designated drop-off points at the cities, to address
the issues raised by prisoners with criminal charges trom multiple jurisdictions. These features
have uniformly impressed a number of municipal court judges who have toured the facility.
Finally, because labor costs are lower and better managed, Yakima County offered these jail
services at a lower cost then charged by King County ($56.00 per day vs. $77.00 per day plus a
bookingJee of$148.00 at King County).
For these reasons, a joint contract among the cities and Yakima County was the most workable
option developed to address the long-tennjail needs. The overall agreement is actually broken
into two separate interlocal agreements: (I) one among the cities collectively and Yakima
County ("the Yakima Agreement"); and (2) a second interlocal agreement among only the cities
("the Cities' Agreement"), to address responsibility for unmet jail bed commitments made to
Yakima County or overuse of a city' sestimated use.
The final piece of Federal Way's jail services strategy is to enter into an interlocal agreement
with the City of Renton (submitted separately), to provide transitional jail services for prisoners
being held prior to pick-up by Yakima County, or after delivery by Yakima if the prisoner must
be returned to Federal Way Municipal Court for trial or other proceedings. This will allow
transportation to and. from Yakima County to be more efficient, and also provide additional
short-term jail capacity above and beyond the capacity provided by the existing interlocal
agreement with the City of Fife. .
The key components of the Yakima County interlocal agreement, and the interlocal agreement
among the cities, are highlighted below. The features of the proposed interloca1 agreement with
the City ofRent<?n are summarized in a separate memorandum trom Chief Anne Kirkpatrick.
Hi2:hli2:hts of Interlocal A2:reements
A. Interlocal Agreement Between Yakima County and the Cities ("Yakima
Agreement")
1. Term. The Agreement's initial effective date occurs when it has been executed by a
sufficient number of cities to represent 90% of the 440 minimum bed commitment. The cities
have estimated the projected number of inmates each will supply, as shown in Attachment A, and
these estimates will be used for purposes of determining the initial effective date. If the
Agreement is not signed by the requisite number of cities by September I, 2002, it is null and
void as to any city that has executed it prior to that date.
Following the initial effective date, Yakima County will proceed to obtain permits and
build the new jail facility. The Agreement's Effective Date will then be the date the new facility
is completed and ready for occupancy, estimated by Yakima County to be July 1, 2003.
The Agreement will expire on December 31,2009, unless terminated or renewed prior to
that date.
D-2.
2. Minimum Bed Commitment and Minimum Bed Availability. Yakima agrees to
provide, and the cities agree to pay for and maintain in the Yakima facility, a minimum of 150
city inmates until June 30,2003 and 440 city inmates from July 1, 2003 until termination. If the
cities do not maintain the ADP at the specified number, the cities will be billed for the difference
between the actual ADP and the Minimum Bed Commitment, i.e., the cities will pay for the
Minimum Bed Commitment in any event. This is comparable to Federal Way's existing
agreement with the City of Fife for 10 beds.
If Yakima County has bed capacity above and beyond the 440 beds, Yakima will accept
additional city inmates if requested by the cities. If King County refused to accept additional city
inmates prior to July 1, 2003, Yakima County will use its best efforts to accept the city inmates
by contracting with Benton County, Okanogan County and/or Chelan County.
3. Compensation. The charge for jail service is $56.00 per day, with a 5% annual
escalator. There is no booking fee. This charge is inclusive, and encompasses includes all basic
and expanded medical care, dental care, and psychiatric and mental health treatment, and all
transportation costs for daily transportation of all city inmates available for transport. Under our
current contract with Yakima County Federal Way pays $48.00 per inmate per day, but this
charge includes only routine medical costs, and inmate transportation is. available only once per
week. By contrast, King County currently charges a booking fee of $148.00 and a daily fee of
$77.00 for 2002.
As part of its monthly hilling, Yakima County will provide itemized statements of each
city inmate receiving care, the case/citation number, the number of days of care, and the
date/time booked into and released from the jail. Yakima County will pro-rate the daily fee of
any inmate with multiple charges from different cities, and will show on each individual city's
statement the number of bed days used by all other cities.
4. Indemnification / Hold Harmless and Insurance. Yakima and the Cities agree to
indemnify, defend and hold each other harmless for their own negligent acts or civil rights .
violations. Each party must obtain and maintain insurance of$l million per occurrence and $2
million in the annual aggregate. This amount is lower than Federal Way's typical requirements
of $2 million per occurrence and $5 million in the annual aggregate, but the interlocal agreement
specifically provides that evidence of insurance with this limit does not relieve Yakimà County
for liability for losses and settlement expenses greater than the insurance minimums.
5. Termination. Any city and Yakima County may terminate the agreement, but only as
to that city, by mutual consent. Any party may terminate the Agreement for "cause," meaning
material violation of the terms of the Agreement, but again, this terminates the Agreement only
as between the party claiming breach and Yakima County. In both cases, the Minimum Bed
Commitment for the non-terminating cities is reduced by the ADP attributable to the terminating
city in the prior year.
6. Most Favored Nation Clause. Yakima County has agreed that no other King, Pierce or
Snohomish County or city located within such county will receive more favored treatment under
a contract for inmate care with Yakima County.
\:)-3
B. Highlights of Interlocal Agreement Among the Cities ("Cities Agreement")
1. Term. The Cities' Agreement is effective when executed by all Cities, and would
remain in effect until December 31, 2009 or the termination of the Yakima Agreement,
whichever occurs first. The Cities' Agreement is null and void if Yakima County is unable to
obtain permits for financing for its new jail by September, 2002.
2. Unused Beds. Only those cities that have Unused Bed Commitment for a given year
will be responsible for paying Yakima County for the underutilization. Those cities must pay a
proportionate share, calculated by multiplying the total amount owed to Yakima County for
unused beds by the the ratio of each city's EADP to the total EADP of all cities with unused beds
for that year.
3. Overuse of Beds. Prior to using jail beds in excess of5% ofa City'sEADP, that City
must enter into an agreement with another city or cities to use jail beds included. in the other
City's EADP. Any city that has an EADP ofless than 20 must automatically deal with other
cities if they want to exceed their EADP.
4. Indemnification I Insurance. Each city will indemnify, hold harmless and defend other
cities for actions arising out that city's negligence. Each city agrees to maintain insurance with
minimum limits of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the annual aggregate. This is the
same as provided in the Yakima Agreement.
5. Termination. The Agreement may be terminated with 12 months' notice in writing to
each other city. If any City's agreement with Yakima County is terminated for cause due to that
city's breach, then the city will remain responsible to Yakima County for that city's EADP
through December 31, 2009 or the end of the then-existing term if the Yakima Agreement has
been extended.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Parks RecreationIHuman ServiceslPublic
Safety Council Committee approve the proposed Interloca1 Agreement Between Yakima County
and the Cities, and the proposed Interlocal Agreement Among the Cities.
Committee Recommendation:

Each City has generated an EADP. Attached hereto as Exhibit A, and incorporated by

their Minimum Bed Commitment for any year during the term of the Long Term Jail
Contract, the _EADPs set forth in Exhibit A shall be used by the Cities as a baseline for
the calculation of the proportionate share owed by any individual City to Yakima:. Only

paying Yakima for such Unused Bed Commitment:.
For purposes of this section, "proportionate share" shall mean_the productresulting ftom
multiplying the (Amount owed to Yakima for Unused Bed Commitment) by the quotient
obtained by dividin&.the (EADP of a City with Unused Bed Commitment) by the (Sum of
EADPs of all Cities with Unused Bed Commitment.) As expressed in the formula below:
(Amount owed to Yakima for' X
Unused Bed Commitment)
(EADP of a City wlUnused Bed Commitment)

The Cities acknowledge that the Long Term Jail Contract does not require each City to
maintain a jail usage equal to that City's EADP. Overused Bed Commitment by one City
may inure to the benefit of the parties hereto. However, Overused Bed Commitment in
excess of 5% may create a hardship for other contracting Cities. Therefore, prior to
usage in excess of 5% of its EADP, a City must obtain consent ftom any other of the
Cities to use a portion of the other City's EADP.
6.

2003 CDBG Pa s-Through Acceptance
Background
As part of the City's joint agreement with the King County Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Consortium, the City must annually elect to receive a pass-through of CDBG funds.
The form (Attachment 1) indicates the City's desire to receive a CDBG pass-through for 2003.
The.form must be reviewed by the City Council, signed, and submitted to the County prior to
June 28, 2002.
The County Consortium estimates the amount of CDBG funds that will be available to
Consortium members for the next program year. This estimate is based upon the President's
proposed 2003 budget. As budget deliberations continue at the federal level, the estimate may
be adjusted. The final 2003 CDBG allocation for the Consortium will be set by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development in mid-December 2002.
CDBG in 2003
The City of Federal Way's share of the Consortium's estimated 2003 grant is $551,800
consisting of $505,094 CDBG pass-through and $46,706 of program income. The estimate is
broken down as follows:
Planning and Administration
Additional Planning and Admin Requested
Public (Human) Services
Capital Projects
Housing Repair Program
Economic Development Set-aside
Discretionary Capital Projects
$57,765
$20,000
$90,714
$120,000*
$82,770**
$180,551
$383,321
Total: $551,800
* Additional information on Housing Repair provided in Attachment 2
** Represents 15% of $551,800
Ad.ditional funds available to the City may be added in July 2002. These are recaptured or
unspent funds from prior year CDBG projects and funds from CDBG projects that generate
program income (repaid home repair loans and other county-wide loan programs funded with
CDBG).
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends accepting a pass-through of CDBG funds from King County for the year 2003
and earmarking $120,000 of capital funds for the Federal Way Home Repair Program.
b-\
2003 PRHSPSC CDBG Pass Through
2003 Planning and Administration -- Staff recommends accepting the $57,765 available for
administration of the City's CDBG Program. The estimated amount of funds available for
Planning and Administration in 2003 is 13% lower than the $66,056 available for 2002. The City
is eligible to request additional Planning and Administration funding for 2003. Staff ,
recommends requesting additional funding at this time of $10,000 to cover the existing planning
and administrative costs necessary to administer Federal Way's CDBG Program in 2003. It will
not be known until after the final amount of 2003 CDBG funds are allocated in December of
2002 whether additional planning and administration funds will be available to cities requesting
them. Additional planning and administration funds must be requested as part of the pass-
through certification in order to be eligible.
Commission Recommendation
At their June 3, 2002 meeting, the Human Services Commission discussed the 2003 CDBG
Pass-Through estimated amount available, the process for acceptance of the funds, and the
revised estimates, which will include recaptured funds from canceled projects and be available
in July. The Commission also discussed the staff recommendation for the Home Repair
Program and the request for additional planning and administrative funds for the Federal Way
CDBG program. Finally, the Commission discussed the estimated amount available for
Planning and Administration and how that compares to the amount available for 2002 as well as
additional costs required to return to direct entitlement in 2006.
The Human Services Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the Council accepting a
pass-through of CDBG funds from King County for the year 2003, earmarking $120,000 of
capital funds for the Federal Way Home Repair Program, and requesting and an additional'
$20,000 in Planning and Administration funds. (The Commission recommended requesting
$10,000 more than the staff recommended to be applied to the cost of a Consolidated Housing
and Human Services Commission Plan estimated to cost $50,000.) Of the $20,000 additional
Planning and Administration funds requested, $10,000 would cover the administrative costs of
Federal Way's CDBG program and $10,000 would be applied toward the cost of the -
Consolidated Housing and Human Services Plan.
Committee Recommendation Options
Option 1 - Move to accept the Commission's recommendation to accept a pass-through of
CDBG funds from King County for the year 2003 - earmarking $120,000 of capital funds fot the
Federal Way Home Repair Program and requesting an additional $20,000 for Planning and
Administration. Forward to the full City Council for consideration at the June 18, 2002 meeting.
Option 2 - Move to accept a pass-through of CDBG funds from King County for the year 2003,
earmarking an amount for the Federal Way Home Repair Program as recommended by the
Committee and/or requesting an additional amount of Planning and Administration funds.
Forward to the full City Council for consideration at the June 18, 2002 meeting.

Attachment 2
Federal Way Home Repair Program
Background
Through its membership in the King County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Consortium, the City has the opportunity to access the Consortium-wide housing repair
programs. The City has offered a home repair program since 1991, and has taken part in the
King County Consortium program since 1994.
Each year as part of the pass-through acceptance process, the City earmarks a portion of its
CDBG allocation for home repairs. As the Home Repair Program is a program of the
Consortium, they do not apply for Consortium funds. Access to the program is considered a
benefit of Consortium membership.
By participating, Federal Way residents are able to obtain:
(1 )
Emergency Grants and Deferred Payment Housing Repair Loans
This program provides both emergency grants of up to $3,000 ($5,000 for mobile homes)
and deferred payment, zero-interest loans of up to $20,000 to low- and moderate-income
homeowners. Priority is given to low-income homeowners, and to critical repair needs
necessary to protect health and safety.
(2)
Affordable Monthly Payment Loans (AMPL)
This program combines funds from private lenders with no-interest CDBG funds in order
to provide housing repair loans that are affordable to moderate-income homeowners.
The maximum loan is $40,000; the minimum is $3,500. Most home repairs are eligible.
2003 Recommendation
The recommendation to earmark $120,000 for this program is based on an analysis ofthe
program's expenditures over the past five years. Demand for this program has been steady,
with 20-25 Federal Way households served each year.' City staff continue to market the
program to Federal Way residents. City staff plan on doing at least one targeted mailing each
year to qualified neighborhoods to make sure potential eligible households are aware of the
program. Currently, there are 15 applications pending for projects in Federal Way, with an
estimate total amount of $90,000 requested.
Home Repair in other Cities
In response to Human Services Commission questions about home repair programs, staff
collected information on programs offered by neighboring cities in 2000. This information is

Renewal of In I cal ooperation Agreements for HOME Consortium and King County
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consortium
Background
Automatic Renewal of HOME Interlocal Cooperation Agreement
The King County HOME Consortium includes King County and all cities within the county with the
exception of Seattle. HUD gives one HOME grant to the Consortium each year, which is
administered by King County Housing and Community Development. There is no pass-through
system for HOME funds and Federal Way does not meet the minimum threshold to stand-alone.
Non-profit housing developers apply directly to King County for use of funds. Member cities and the
Joint Recommendation Committee (JRC) are involved in project selection. Similar to the King County
CDBG Consortium, membership in the consortium is accomplished through an interlocal cooperation
agreement (ICA) with a three-year term. The current ICA (Attachment 1) expires at the end of 2002
and will automatically renew for another three-year period. No action is recommended at this time.
Automatic Renewal of CDBG Joint Agreement
Federal Way has the option of receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds directly
from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as a direct entitlement community.
The City of Federal Way received CDBG funds directly from HUD from 1991-93. Federal Way joined
the King County CDBG Consortium in 1994. Membership in the Consortium is accomplished through
a three-year joint agreement. The current agreement with King County (Attachment 2) to participate
in the Consortium will automatically renew at the beginning of 2003 for another three-year period.
The City must provide written notification to the King County Department of Housing and Community
Development and HUD by June 28, 2002 in order to withdraw from the King County Consortium.
(Correspondence from Barbara Gletne - Attachment 3)
Federal Way joined the Consortium because membership provided a greater amount of CDBG funds
available to Federal Way residents at lower staff costs with reduced administrative requirements. As
outlined in the May 10, 2002 memorandum to the Human Services Commission (Attachment 4), King
County's administrative costs will rise significantly in 2003. This information was received on April
19, 2002. The Human Services Commission and staff have been reviewing the feasibility of returning
to direct entitlement in 2003 since that time.
The City notified King County of our concerns regarding King County administrative costs at the May
23, 2002 Joint Recommendation Committee (JRC) meeting (Letter from David Moseley - Attachment
5). City staff from Shoreline and Redmond stated that they share the concerns raised by the City of
Federal Way. In response, the JRC recommended that a letter be sent to the King County Executive
regarding the increased costs of overhead being charged to the CDBG program. The Committee
also recommended a letter be sent to federal representatives stating that the increased federal
regulations on the CDBG program are impacting the costs of administering the program. A written
H-I
response to the May 22, 2002 letter from David Moseley has not been received but is expected by
June 7, 2002.
Staff Recommendation
At the June 3, 2002 Human Services Commission meeting, staff gave a verbal recommendation to
not pursue direct entitlement for the 2003 term but to pursue returning to direct entitlement in 2006.
This recommendation was made due to the lack of time to adequately evaluate staffing needs and
federal requirements for the program. While the City would have additional funds available for
planning and administration as a direct entitlement community, all federal requirements for
administering the CDBG program would become the responsibility of the City.
Additionally, entitlement communities are required to adopt a Consolidated Housing and Community
Development Plan that entails an extensive evaluation and planning process çegarding housing and
human services needs in our community with required public input. Withdrawal at the end of 2002
would mean that this process would need to be done at an accelerated rate at~an unbudgeted cost of
$50,000.
By remaining with the Consortium for the 2003-2005 term, the above analysis and Consolidated Plan
could be completed before the next renewal of the CDBG Joint Agreement. '
Commission Recommendation
At the June 3, 2002 meeting, the Human Services Commission, passed the following two motions:
Motion to recommend that the City of Federal Way stay in the King County CDBG Consortium, but
so under protest due to the late receipt of information from King County, the short time frame given
for making a decision, and the rising administrative costs charged by King County for administering
the program.
Motion to recommend to the City Council that the City of Federal Way initiate the process to withdraw
from the King County CDBG Consortium at the end of the 2003-2005 term;

The Honorable Jeanne Burbidge
Mayor, City of Federal Way
P.o. Box 9718
. Federal Way, WA 98063-9718
Dear Mayor Burbidge:
I am writing to invite the City of Federal Way to continue participating in the King County
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consortium under the existing joint agreement
arrangement as well as the King County HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program
Consortium. The Interlocal Cooperation Agreements (ICAs) for the CDBG Consortium and the
King County HOME Consortium cover 2000-2002. This letter is to notify you that these ICAs
will be automatically renewed for the years 2003-2005 unless the City of Federal Way notifies
. King County and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that it has
decided to not participate in one or both of them during the 2003-2005 term.
Benefits of King County CDBG Consortium
Although the City of Federal Way qualifies as a "metropolitan city" and can therefore receive a
CDBG entitlement, over the past several years, the City of Federal Way has chosen to defer this
status and participate in the King County CDBG Consortium under a joint agreement. Under the
joint agreement, King County administers the City of Federal Way's CDBG entitlement "jointly"
with the King County Consortium funds. There are several important advantages to a.joint
agreement:
First, the City of Federal Way receives more funds. The King County Consortium joint agreement
guarantees the higher of (1) the amount calculated by the King County Consortium's formula, or
(2) the HUD 'entitlement amount (in both cases, less a pro rata share of the administrative costs,
which are low due to the Consortium's economy of scale). The City of Federal Way city retains
control over the choice of activities to be funded.
Second, the City of Federal Way can take advantage of Community Development Interim ("float")
Loans for economic development or public improvement projects. King County administers a
large amount of CDBG funds on behalf of the Consortium and therefore can make sizable loans.
\-\~'\
The Honorable Jeanne Burbidge
May 6, 2002
Page 2
Third, the City of Federal Way would have more CDBG funds available for human services.
Under federal regulations, entitlement jurisdictions are limited to spending no more than 15
percent of their grant (plus program income) on human services. The Consortium is able to make
this higher amount available for human services because of the large amount of program income
the Consortium is able to generate through its Community Development Interim Loan program
and other income-producing activities.
Please note that the joint agreement modifies the King County CDBG Consortium configuration
with respect to census block groups. This change may affect the relative ranking of specific block
groups by quartile, thus affecting the minimum percentage oflow- and moderate-income
population necessary to qualify public improvement projects for CDBG funding. We cannot
confirm at this time how this percentage will be affected, but we have requested this information
ITom HUD and will provide it to you when we receive it.
Benefits of the King County HOME Consortium
Participation in the HOME Consortium is advantageous for the following reasons:
. The City of Federal Way may apply directly for HOME funds to help meet locally identified
affordable housing needs.
. The City of Federal Wayy can take advantage of scarce financial resources for the
development of affordable housing for those in the community on fixed or limited incomes.
. The City of Federal Way may utilize HOME funds to support the rehabilitation and
preservation of affordable privately-owned multifamily rental housing.
. The City of Federal Way can participate in the city/county staff-working group that develops
recommendations for the inter-jurisdictional Joint Recommendations Committee on program

SUBJECT:

Human Services Commission .
Kelli O'Donnell, CDBG Coordinato~
Renewal of Interlocal Cooperation Agreements for King County Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consortium and/or the HOME Consortium
Background
At the March 18, 2002 Human Services Commission meeting, the Commission considered
whether or not to recommend the City of Federal Way return to direct entitlement for CDBG
funds. At that time, staff recommended remaining part of the King .County CDBG Consortium in
order to minimize staffing costs through reduced administrative requirements. Since t-hat-time,
King County Department of Housing and Community Development has distributed the
estimated 2003 CDBG pass-through allocations which includes the estimated administrative
set-aside forKing County. -
In 1994, the Council directed that the City of Federal Way join the King County CDBG
Consortium (an urban county entitlement). Membership in the consortium is accomplished
through an interlocal cooperation agreement (lCA) with a three-year term. The- current ICA
expires at the end of 2002 and will automatically renew for another three years, unless: King.
County is notified that the City of Federal Way wishes to withdraw from the consortium ,by June'
28, 2002. . . .
The amount of funds the City of Federal Way would receive as a direct entitlement has had a
modest increase annually while the amount received through the King County .consortium has
decreased slightly. Additionally, the King County administrative set aside has continued to rise,
which reduces the amount available for cities to administer local CDBG programs. ' The
following charts show the CDBG funding history for 2000-2003

CDBG Funding 2003
The City of Kent is withdrawing from the Consortium effective 2003 and will become a direct
entitlement community. Due to Kent leaving, CDBG entitlement, King County Consortium will
be reduced by $587,000. On April 19, 2002, the remaining Consortium cities were provided
King County's proposed 2003 administrative set aside and the cities projected 2003 pass
through amounts. King County's administrative set aside was' not reduced after Kent's
departure but had actually increased by 9% over 2002. As a result, Federal Way's pass
through allocation will be reduced by approximately $12,000 and the amount available to spend
on planning and administration for Federal Way's CDBG program will be reduced by
approximately $8,000. The projected pass through for Federal Way will not cover the expenses
for the current staffing level for it's CDBG program. If Federal Way continues as a member of
the King County Consortium, either staffing will need to be reduced or the City will need to
assume a portion of the cost. Additional planning and administration funds can be requested
from the Consortium, however, the amount of funds available will not be known until the end of
2002. If Federal Way, does receive additional planning and administration funds, the amount
available for capital funds will be reduced proportionately.
Returning to Direct Entitlement .
Although Federal Way would receive more funding for CDBG programs and planning and
administration activities as a direct. entitlement, the City would assume.all of the monitoring and
reporting responsibilities required by HUD. Further analysis is needed to determine whether the
projected funds available for planning and administration would be sufficient to cover staffing
costs. Additionally, the City of Federal Way. would be required to complete a Consolidated
Housing and Community Development Plan that must be completed before the release of
CDBG .funds. The Consolidated Plan entails an eXtensive planning and public participation
process. The City 'of Kent utilized an RFP process to hire a' consultant to complete their
Consolidated Plan with' a budget of $45,000. Federal Way has not budgeted any funds to
complete a Consolidated Plan for 2002.
If the City of Federal Way chooses to return to a direct . entitlement, program income and (.)
recaptured funds from prior participation in the Consortium would be returned to the Consortium
and not the City. Any future program income or recaptured funds resulting from programs
H- 2-\
funded as a direct entitlement would return to the City. Federal Way's share of the King County
Consortium program income for 2003 is estimated to be $46,706. Estimates for Federal Way's
2003 recaptured funds have not been provided by King County yet. Staff is currently aware of
$126,000 that would be recaptured in 2003 by Federal Way as a consortium member.

Automatic Renewal of HOME Interlocal Cooperation Agreement
The King County HOME Consortium includes King County and all cities within the county with
the exception of Seattle. HUD gives one HOME grant to the Consortium each year, which is
administered by King County Housing and Community Development. There is no pass-through
system for HOME funds and Federal Way does not meet the minimum threshold to stand alone.
Non-profit housing developers apply directly to King County for use of funds. Member cities
and the Joint Recommendation Committee (JRC) are involved in project selection. Similar to
the King County CDBG Consortium, membership in the consortium is accomplished through an
interlocal cooperation agreement (ICA) with a three-year term. The current ICA expires at the
end of 2002 and will automatically renew for another three-year period. No action is
recommended at this time. .
Staff Recommendation
The City of Federal Way will need to make a commitment by June 28, 2002, either to remain in
the King County CDBG Consortium for 2003-2005 or become a direct entitlement. Staff is
continuing to research staffing issues and funding and the feasibility of completing a Housing
and Community Development Plan.
Staff will present a recommendation at t~May 20, 2002 Human Services Commission meeting
for consideration. Options would therÎbe brought forward to the Council in June to either
formally accept the King County Consortium Pass Through or notify King County that Federal
Way will become a direct entitlement community in 2003.
The King County HOME Interlocal Cooperation Agreement will automatically renew for another
three year period. No action is recommended at this time.
I will be glad to answer any questions the Commission may have at the May 20, 2002 meeting.
Please contact me at (253) 661-4153 or kellio@fedway.org if you have any questions regarding
the information provided.

Ms. Barbara J. Gletne, Director

Dear Ms. Gletne:
Thank you for your letter of May 6, 2002, notifying the City of Federal Way of the opportunity
to continue participation in the King County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Consortium and the King County HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program
Consortium. I understand, per e-mail from Kathy Tremper on May 9, 2002, that we must'
notify King County and the u.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)' by
June 28, 2002 if the City decides to not participate in one or Qoth of the consortiums. '
As.you are aware,the City of Federal Way is a CDBG entitlement community that has
chosen to participate in the King County Consortium since 1994. Since joining the'
Consortium, the City has continually evaluated the benefits of receiving GDBG entitlement
through the Consortium.
Although membership in the King County Consortium has been an economical way of
providing CDBG projects and programs to benefit the low- and moderate-income residents of
Federal Way, the City has the following concerns regarding the increasing administrative
costs of the CDBG Consortium. .
1.) The set-aside has increased every year since 1996, causing the amount available for
most cities to decrease annually: The proposed 2003 CDBG administrative set-aside
budget is a 9% increase over the 2002 set-aside. The preliminary CDBG estimates
for 2003 project a reduction in funds available to allocate to Federal Way's CDBG
projects and administration, largely due to the increasing costs of administering the.
. Consortium's CDBG program.
2.) The City of Kent has announced its departure from the Consortium effective 2003. The
Consortium's CDBG entitlement will be reduced by $587,000 with the City of Kenfs
departure. However, it is my understanding that there has been no reduction in the
County's CDBG administrative costs, resulting in higher costs to the remaining cities.
The combination of these two factors have caused Federal Way's 2003 share of King
County's administrative set-aside to increase by over $20,000 without a corresponding
increase in service.

The City of Federal Way is currently evaluating the benefits of returning to direct entitlement
status effective 2003. Reductions in human services funding at the state and county level are
expected to continue to impact the low- and moderate-income residents of the City of Federal
Way. It is imperative at this time for Federal Way to seriously consider how the CDBG
program can most effectively benefit our community.
In the event that the City of Federal Way decides to remain in the Consortium for the 2003-
2005 term, we would like to work with King County and participating jurisdictions to amend
the current CDBG Joint Agreement to address the following issues:
. Review of King County administrative costs . .. ~
. Review of the formula used to calculate whether entitlement communities reœive'tHe
Consortium formula amount or entitlement amount . . ;:3
. Opportunities for participating jurisdictions to have input into items broughUorward}to
the Joint Recommendation Committee . .
. Sixty-day notice to cities when items require local Council action
. Improved reporting of County managed projects
