COMMISSION COMMENTS
Joann Piquette spoke regarding the article that was in the Tacoma News Tribune about the SeaTac Theater. She

the Federal Way Coalition for the Arts. The Arts Commission is not involved at this time.
Chair Burbidge was asked to revise the order of the agenda. Bringing item L to the first item of the agenda.
APPROVAL OF SUMMARY
Council member Hellickson McColgan approved the August 13 and September 10 meeting minutes as
written.
BUSINESS ITEMS
Public Art Update: Skate Park and 272"' Park & Ride
Mary Faber and Joann Piquette were there to update Council Committee on the Skate Park and 272nd Park & Ride.
The artist prospective has gone out three times to potential artist. The prospective is due back October 10. At the
next commission committee meeting, they will review the proposals, and hope to be able to share their decision at
the November Council Committee meeting. Some of the things that have changed the process is that the arts
Commission is now seeing how the park is used, and whether or not it will be fenced. This helps the commission
understand what kind of project might be better. The commission is looking at metal and things that aren't easily
vandalized, or are easy to repair if they are vandalized. Two artists have submitted, they are hoping to get three
more. The artwork will probably be installed in June of 2002. Council member McColgan asked what the budget
for the project is. Faber stated it is around $18,450. Council member Hellickson wanted the Chiefs opinion on how
we can prevent vandalism at the park. She responded that getting the youth involved in the artwork was successful
in Ellensburg. Faber stated that this is one of the things the Arts Commission is considering. Hellickson asked how
they found the artist in Ellensburg. City Manager Mosely stated that they hired an artist, and that artist worked with
the kids to come up with designs. Hellickson wanted to know if we have talked to Universities to find artists. Faber
stated that we use King County Resources who have lists of established public artists. We are looking for people
who have public art experience. They have their own set of standards and insurance coverage. Due to risk
management issues, they have to be insured. They need to understand architectural engineering. The Arts
Commission typically works with those who are on rosters and have experience. Hellickson wanted to know how
difficult it is for an artist to get on a roster. Faber stated they have to complete some information and go through

reviews. McColgan asked about Seattle Art Institute. Faber stated that they are more into graphics technology. She
stated she would send them information. Hellickson stated he feels it's important to open up the process to
everyone. He wants to make sure that people are not excluded from getting on the rosters. He would like to
encourage younger artists. 272"" Park and Ride. This is not a City of Federal Way project; it is a Sound Transit
and King County Arts Commission Project. They have asked for community input on what we feel about the
project. Piquette stated she was very impressed with how the artists looked at the history, and geography and
incorporating it into Drumlins. They are working with our Community Development Department to make sure that
everything is in compliance. Council member Burbidge tentatively suggested that the name of the Park & Ride be
North Federal Way Park & Ride.
Diversity Commission Business 2001/2002 Plan
Matheson reviewed the Diversity Commissions accomplishments last year. They adopted a new Mission Statement,
and a new business planning process. This year's business plan is built on continuing what they were able to
accomplish last year. Council member Burbidge commented that it was a very ambitious plan. One of the projects
is involvement in schools. Council member McColgan asked if the Diversity Commission had been involved with
the Federal Way School Board in the past. Matheson answered no, but that the issue of Equity and Achievement
was something that the Diversity Commission was interested in. They invited a member of the Equity and
Achievement Task Force to come to a meeting and give them an overview. McCOLGAN MOVED THAT WE
FORWARD THE DIVERSITY COMMISSION PLAN 2001-2002 TO THE FULL CITY COUNCIL ON
NOVEMBER 6, 2001 WITH A DO PASS RECOMMENDATION. HELLICKSON SECONDED. MOTION
PASSED.
Sister City Baseball Tournament
Last May, Mayor Michael Park and Mayor Nobuo Nakasato of Hachinohe agreed to organize a tournament to honor
the 10 year relationship as sister cities. The coaches from Decatur and Federal Way High Schools have agreed to be
the coaches for the team. Sister City Association members have been designated to take the lead on this project, and
the hired Management intern will work on this project also. The tournament will occur between June 18-27, 2002
in Hachinohe. It will be an All Star team of 15 members drawn up from all three high schools in Federal Way and
also private school baseball players. The tryouts are scheduled for November I I' at Decatur High School. The
team will play four games. Two games will be against Kosei-Gakuin High School, and two games against the
Hachinohe All-Star Team. They have agreed to house our students in their Dormitories and provide all ground
transportation. The cost is estimated to be around $25,000 to send the team over there. It will be a combination of
fundraising by the Sister City Association, and individual funds contributed from each baseball player. There may
be some assistance for those who are outstanding baseball players, but may not have the financial backing as some
of the other players. There is still a lot of work to be done. Once the teams have been selected, they will start
working on the fundraising.
Volunteer and Neighborhood Program Update
Jennifer Teeler wanted to update the Council Committee on some of the changes that have been going on with her
programs, and some of the projects that she is working on. She explained that her program could be divided into
two areas: volunteers and neighborhoods. When it comes to volunteers, she focuses on two areas, which are
recruitment of volunteers and recognition. We have had 150 volunteers who have contributed over 4,000 hours of
service to date this year. This program is very active, but Teeler stated she still has a lot of volunteer opportunities
for people. She has incorporated two tools for recruitment. They are a nation-wide website, and she has published
a flyer listing volunteer- opportunities. The volunteer dinner is the biggest recognition event that the city has. Last
year there were over 300 attendees. Teeler is also interested in doing another type of recognition. She will also
work with supervisors to assist them in finding some low cost ways to recognize volunteers. Deputy Mayor
Kochmar requested that Teeler provide a copy of the flyer in each Council Members box. The Neighborhood
programs are divided into disaster preparedness training and Neighborhood Matching Fund mini -grant. There are
two disaster preparedness programs. They are Neighborhood Emergency Teams (NET) and NET Responders.
Currently there are over 70 neighborhoods that have participated in the NET meetings. The NET responder is a
more extensive training for individuals. The Neighborhood Matching Fund Mini -grant is a program that matches
City funds of up to $2,500 with donations and volunteer hours to help groups improve the quality of life in a
neighborhood. Council member McColgan asked if there are projects identified ahead of time that people can work
on as opposed to people deciding they want to go clean up a park. Teeler stated they do not think of projects that
would be a good idea, and then go and contact the neighborhood. McColgan asked if a group wanted to do a
PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES
& PUBLIC SAFETY COUNCIL COMMITTEE
Monday, October 8, 2001 Summary
Page 3
fundraiser, and we had a project for them to do, would they be able to do it as a fundraiser for their particular group
and receive those funds. Teeler and Schroder answered that they have not had anybody explore that option.
McColgan stated that there are always sports teams that are doing fundraisers such as carwashes. Would it be
possible to have them do something that would benefit the conumutity, as well as receive sonic money for their own
specific team. Schroder stated that we did do this for the RW&B Festival. Service organizations were in charge of
parking, and were able to keep the proceeds. However, it was not a Neighborhood Matching Fund project. Council
member Hellickson requested that Teeler provide a copy of the guidelines for the Matching Fund Mini -grant.
Letter to King Countv Rewarding Proposed Reductions to Human Services Programs
Ann Guenther, Human Services Manager discussed the proposed reductions to human services programs in the
2002 King County budget. Council member Burbidge asked Guenther to draft a letter for the Council to send to
Executive Sims regarding the reductions. Guenther reviewed what the cuts are, and how they will impact the City
of Federal Way. The King County Executive projects a 36 million dollar deficit in the 2002 Current Expense Fund
budget and an expected 22 million dollar deficit in 2003. The Human Services reductions are projected to be
approximately 5.4 million dollars to the Department of Community and Human Services and the Children and
Family Commission budgets. The Korean Evergreen Club, Korean Seniors funding is "up in the air". The County
is looking at their aging policies and may revise them. If the revised policies are approved by the King County
Council, the Evergreen Club funding would be maintained. Deputy Mayor Kochmar is concerned that the County
will not be providing any money for aging services in the Federal Way area. If the money is cutout from each
council members discretionary fund of $100,000 this community will be lacking funds for Human Service needs.
She wants a letter sent as soon as possible to King County Executive stating that we are aware of the proposed cuts
and it will be a problem for our community. There was discussion held about the Lakeland Senior Center. Deputy
Mayor Kochmar would like Lakeland Senior Center to also be referenced in the letter. It would impact the whole
area. Kochmar would also like the possibility of incorporating the two senior centers added to a future work plan
item. Guenther said the Lakeland Center is also known as the Federal Way Senior Center. Council member
Burbidge asked about funding for the Childcare program. There are two categories listed one was subsidy for the
program, and the other was a non -subsidy cost. What does the non -subsidy cost reference? Guenther is not sure of
the answer, but she will research and get back to council member Burbidge. McColgan moved to approve the
attached letter to King County regarding proposed cuts to human services as modified by the Committee and
forward to the full Council for approval on October 16, 2001. The modification is referencing the Lakeland
Center.
2001 School Zone Enforcement Program
Chief Kirkpatrick stated this is a reimbursement via grant of a program they have instituted which was the School
Zone Enforcement Program. That reimbursement was over $6,500.
2000 Enforcement Emphasis Patrol Program
Chief Kirkpatrick wanted to inform the Council Committee that they intend to apply for this grant. The Washington
Traffic Safety commission also sponsors the grant money. It is for a DOTS program. This is a reimbursement of
wages, salaries, dispatcher's use of cars etc. for traffic safety program. They use this for their DUI programs, and
other traffic safety enforcement activities.
Evaluation of Property Acquisition Evaluation Criteria
Reuter presented the Evaluation Criteria for Proposed Acquisition, Purchase or Donation of Land. The reason
behind this document is to have established criteria that the Parks & Recreation Commission could look at for
potential parcels of property that could be acquired as park land. There are five criteria on which each parcel of
land would be evaluated. Those five criteria are: Community Need, Project Scope, Immediacy of Threat, Site
Suitability and Expansion. This document will be incorporated into the Park & Recreation Open Space Comp Plan
Update, which would become a part of the Cities Comprehensive Plan Update for this year. Council member
McColgan asked if this form would not be used until it became approved as part of the comp plan. Reuter stated it
is in use at this time. Schroder stated that there are currently four parcels that have come forward for the Parks
Commission and the City to look at, and that this is form is now being used in reviewing those properties. The
commission will be forwarding their recommendations to the Council Committee soon.

& PUBLIC SAFETY COUNCIL COMMITTEE
Monday, October 8, 2001 Summary

Sacajawea Field Lights
Jainga stated that the Sacajawea Field Lighting is part of the 2001 budget process. $75,000 was approved by the
Council for four additional field lights to be installed at the Sacajawea Sports Field. The lights will add nighttime
usage for the Soccer Association. This is the equivalent of adding another sports field to our recreational soccer
need. Jainga gave a lot of credit to the Soccer Association because they accepted a volunteer program to help
assemble the four poles. Musco Lighting has a volunteer program where groups can assist with the installation of
the product. Because of this program Musco Lighting was able to give us a $7,000 credit, for a purchase price of
$60,000. Because of the Soccer Associations strong partnership with the City of Federal Way, they donated
$15,000 to this project. Council member McColgan asked Jainga when the light installation would start. Jainga
stated they plan to start at the end of October. Council member McColgan moved and Hellickson seconded to
recommend approval of the Sacajawea Field Lights Project and authorize staff to proceed with the site
preparation for a total project funding cost of $100,000 and move to full Council on October 16, 2001 for
final approval. Motion Passed.
Heritage Woods Park Playground Equipment Vendor
As part of the 2001/2002 budget process, Council approved $32,000 for play equipment for the newly developed
Heritage Woods Neighborhood Park. Jainga, Reuter, Teeler and Park Commissioners have met with the
neighborhood association. The residents voted on a variety of play elements. Three companies submitted proposals
for the project. The vendors attended a Parks & Recreation Commission meeting. Numerous residents from
Heritage Woods Homeowners Association attended that same meeting, and were able to voice their comments.
McColgan moved and Hellickson seconded a motion to recommend approval of Playground Environment
International as the playground equipment manufacturer for the Heritage Woods Park Playground Project,
in the amount of $26,186.72 and authorize staff to proceed with the site preparation work in the amount of
$5,813.28 for a total project cost of $32,000 and move to full council on October 16, 2001 for final approval.
Motion Passed.
Banner Program Update
Schroder reviewed the list of donors that have participated in this program. Currently there are 15 banners that have
been funded through this program. Parks staff will be installing the fifteen banners this month. The Friends of
Federal Way have been very active the last nine months going out into the community and getting people involved
in this program. The banner company that we are using told Schroder that it is not uncommon for more people to
get involved in the program once the banners have been installed. If this occurs, the Parks department will take over
the management of accepting and processing the donations. The Friends of Federal Way originally identified 35
poles that could be used for banners. We have decided to focus on the first 22 light standards that are along the 13"
Avenue South. Council member Burbidge would like to have Bob Kellogg, Barbara Reid and H. David Kaplan
recognized for their efforts on this program and directed staff to develop a certificate of appreciation. The
certificate will be presented at a future Council Meeting.
Tobacco Use in the Parks
Reuter stated that this issue was discussed at the September Parks & Recreation Commission meeting. Reuter
wanted to thank Pat Richardson for all of the information she provided on this subject. After a discussion and
review of the materials in executive session, it was the recommendation of the Parks & Recreation Commission to
not take any action on this item. Commissioner Pfeiffer stated that it was a consensus that commissioners did not
feel it was an issue. Council member Hellickson stated that he completely disagrees with this decision. He plays
softball at the Park every Tuesday night, and he his there 2-3 times per week and he has heard from 75% of his
team, and from several players on other teams. Hellickson also stated that he thought this had been discussed as
more of a policy than a rule or regulation, so that enforcement would not be an issue. Parks and Recreation
personnel or anybody authorized would have the ability to politely remind somebody that there is a policy of no
smoking in the parks. The general consensus seems to be that in places where people are waiting in line to purchase
concessions, or watching a game, it would be easy to regulate it. Council member McColgan stated that he was
going to support the Parks Conunission with their findings. He is not sure if like Council member Hellickson stated
it was a rules and regulations vs. a policy issue and whether those things were clearly delineated for the commission.
He stated that the memo talks about enforceability and constitutional rights, which to him is a regulation and rules
issue, and not a policy issue. As far as rules and regulations, he will support what the Parks commission has come
up with. If there were another route like a policy, he would be open to hearing more about that. Hellickson stated
lie wants us to give our Citizens an opportunity to recreate in a healthy way. Schroder asked Hellickson if he wants
PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES
& PUBLIC SAFETY COUNCIL COMMITTEE
Monday, October 8, 2001 Summary
Page 5
the City to take an "informational role" and increase public awareness on the hazards of smoking. Hellickson stated
he wants a visible sign that talks about tobacco smoking. He wants the people to have the ability to "police"
themselves. Hellickson stated the only thing he wants to see is a sign somewhere that says "Please smoke in the
parking lot" or something like that. Burbidge stated she would support something, but not sure what form it would
take. Schroder stated that this would go back to the Parks and Recreation Commission, and they will come back to
this committee with a recommendation.
OTHER BUSINESS
Schroder discussed incidents between users of the skate park and the soccer field. They have taken a look at the
skate park and the proximity to the skate park. They have been in contact with City Manager regarding building a
fence. This would help regulate after hours use, and maintenance. Schroder stated that if we had more information
than we had, we would've recommended fencing the area in the beginning. Council member Hellickson asked what
the cost would be. Schroder stated the first bid came in around $12,000. Hellickson asked if we were working with
Public Safety on the issues at the park. Schroder stated the Public Safety Department is aware. Hellickson asked
chief Kirkpatrick what she would do; Kirkpatrick stated she would fence it. Reuter also stated that it is not the users
of the park that are causing the problems; it's the people that come to just hang out.

FEDERAL WAY MUNICIPAL COURT
NOVEMBER 2001
f\ -Z
A NEW BEGINNING
On December 31, 1999, Federal Way
Municipal Court did not exist. On
January 4, 2000, Federal Way Municipal
Court had its first calendar with 10
cases. By the end of the year, the Court
had 14,820 cases filed and had held
11,405 hearings. To be able to establish
the procedures to deal with this case load
and hearings involved required 17 full
and part time staff by years end
Usually, when someone joins a Court,
one person is being added to a group.
Only one person needs to learn the
system, procedures and culture of the
Court. Not so with Federal Way. Ten
clerks, 2 security persons, 2 probation
officers, Court Administrator, Court
Commissioner and Judge for a total of
17 persons with experiences from 17
different courts brought their own
concepts of how a court should be run.
Everyone worked together to forge one
system using the experiences of all to
establish the best court possible.
Of course, none of this would have
been possible without the assistance and
input from other departments of the City
including but not limited to the City
Manager's office, the Law Department,
the Public Safety Department, Human
Resources, and Management Services
Especially important has been quarterly
meetings when the Court, Law
Department, City Manager office, Police
and Public Defender Association meet to
discuss procedural issues and their
resolution.
By using the experience of all involved
we were able to consider how to
improve procedures to better serve those
who come in contact with the Court, to
be more efficient and effective.
IMPROVING CUSTOMER
SERVICE AND SATISFACTION
k-3
High Customer service has been a goal
of the Court from the beginning.
Although the clientele for the Court can
be difficult, the Court has strived to
always be patient, respectful and helpful.
Staff is always looking for ways to
improve Customer service. Some actions
taken to date include:
-At arraignment, a prosecutor is
present to advise defendants of the
City's recommendations or to discuss a
possible resolution to the case. Although
the Court has at times talked defendants
out of resolving the case at arraignment
out of concern for a fair representation,
approximately a third of all matters that
defendants appear on are resolved at
arraignment. It is a service to the
customer as they do not have to return
again and it is a benefit to the Court
saving the time and resources for later
hearings.
- Police volunteers call to remind
defendants of their arraignment hearing
so that as many as 65% or more appear
at arraignments. Other Courts report that
these procedures increase the appearance
of defendants by 10-30%. That means
more cases are resolved and less Bench
Warrants that result in increased
efficiency.
-Instead of having jurors on call for a
week or more, we have panels for two
days. We allow jurors to take notes. We
tell jurors after the case is resolved why
they are not advised what is going on
and what the reasons for any delay in
using their services. We treat jurors with
respect and try to educate them to issues
involved while protecting the jurors
from improper influences. This appears
to help jurors value their experience
more.
-List of treatment resources for
defendants. For example Domestic
Violence Batterers Treatment lists 27
different agencies including three in
Federal Way
DOLLARS AND STATISTICS
On January 1, 2000, the Court had no
history to determine what revenues
would be generated and the expenses
involved with operating a court. The
City did have the experience of revenue
and expenses while the City was a part
of the district court system.
For the year 2000, the Municipal Court
generated $396,143.85 from fines and
costs. Total revenues from fines and
forfeitures were 6.0% above revenues
for 1999. Through August 2001, the
municipal court alone has generated
$361,077 from fines and costs. Through
August court revenues from both the
District and Municipal Courts was 3.7%
a head of projections for 2001 and
10.1 % ahead of last year's revenue. That
does not include monies raised through
probation through August of $14,095.00,
or Traffic school fees totaling $74,488
through August. This revenue was
generated despite a reduction in filings
for June through August of 39% for
traffic infractions and 24% for criminal
violations.
The Court is also concerned about the
expenses incurred and has taken actions
to be more efficient and cost conscious.
Examples include:
-The use video hearings for
arraignments for those in jail. That was
expanded to pre -trials, reviews and bail
hearings. This saved transportation costs,
less time in jail for prejudgment and
allowing defendants to resolve their
matters quicker.
-The use of interpreters' calendars have
saved the court approximately 50% of
what other courts have been incurring.
-The use of alternative sentencing such
as Electronic Home Monitoring, along
with other actions instead of jail has
saved the expense of jail costs.
-The implementation of procedures to
encourage court attendance has reduced
the issuance of Bench Warrants.
-The use of private company for
probation services who also assumes the
responsibility for liability for their
mistakes. This is something new for this
area.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE -A
SERIOUS PROBLEM
The first year the Court existed was
spent on setting up systems and
procedures. The second year the Court
focused its attention on understanding
and improving the response to Domestic
violence crimes. There is no question
that Domestic Violence is a serious
problem. Twelve to fifteen percent of the
cases filed in our Court are Domestic
Violence ranging from throwing a T.V.
Selector on the floor during an argument
to serious injuries such as choking or
cutting another person. Not that long
ago, society looked the other way on
these issues. Some parts of society still
do. The rest of us continue to learn how
to improve our response to these issues.
Domestic Violence is an area of
balancing contradictions. For example,
Courts should issue "no contact orders"
to protect victims. However, the risk of
serious injury or death is significantly
higher just after Defendant and victim
separate. The victim knowing the circle
of violence may feel the level of danger
will go down if the "no contact order" is
rescinded. Does the Court continue the
"no contact order" or not. This is just
one of many issues to be decided in a
domestic violence case.
To improve domestic violence
procedures the Court reviewed materials
on Domestic Violence and made a list of
k- L�1
topics. Prosecutors, police and public
defenders were invited to attend
meetings to contribute and comment.
Probation and Domestic Violence
Advocates were asked for input. The
Domestic Violence Task Force heard of
these discussions, approved the
discussions and provided information.
The prosecutor indicated that many
topics for improvement were good
suggestions.
Some of the changes implemented are a
follows:
-Defendants are often required in
addition to any other treatment to attend
a Domestic Violence Victim's Impact
Panel.
-To bring these cases to resolution
sooner, continuances will be shorter.
-Studies indicate that abusers who
attend Batterers Treatment are less likely
to recommit. Those studies also show
that 30 to 50 percent of persons sent to
Batterers Treatment fail to go after the
first or second session and that the
success rate than goes down. The Court
is considering a required court review
hearing at times to encourage defendants
to continue treatment.
-The Court has joined with other
municipal courts in South King County
to report to each other about treatment
providers that have a continuing problem
complying with State requirements and
to establish a uniform reporting form to
be used by all Treatment agencies.
-The prosecutors have reduced filing
from as much as 30 days to file
Domestic Violence crimes to filing
between 7-10 days.
-The Police Departmznt has given
warrants issued for Domestic Violence
Crimes a priority so that defendants can
be arrested sooner. This is a positive as
studies show that a person arrested does
not reoffend as soon.
In the area of Domestic Violence, Our
court should be in the lead. To do that
requires self-evaluation and self
assessment. That is not always pleasant
but if it leads to a better understanding
and response to Domestic Violence than
it will be worth it
COURT AUDIT -PASS WITH
FLYING COLORS
The Court's financial procedures were
audited by the State Auditor for six days.
The auditors went through the Court
with a fine toothcomb. They checked
procedures and asked for the Court's
legal authority on a number of matters.
In the end, the auditors had no
recommendations for change or
improvement. This is unusual for a new
court. The staff of the Court should be
�V t)
congratulated on their thoroughness,
high standards and hard work to
accomplish this result.
TRAINING -HOW TO GET BETTER
The Judge has been to New Judge
Training (1 week), General Jurisdiction
Training (2 weeks) 2 Spring
Conferences and 2 Fall conferences (3
days each). The Court Commissioner has
been to New Judge Training and will be
attending the Spring and Fall
Conferences. The Judicial officers are
continuously reading new decisions
issued by the State's Appellate Courts.
The Court recently sponsored a
Domestic Violence Seminar for Judges
and Pro Tem Judges with many of the
Pro Tem Judges used by this Court being
present to learn how to better deal with
these issues when on the bench.
Both the Judge and the Court
Administrator are on their respective
Associations education committee to
keep them on top of the latest
information on how to improve the
Courts. The Judge is also on the
Technology committee that is exploring
ways to use technology to improve court
efficiency including a pilot program
having WSP input defendants name and
cause number etc., in their computer and
that data base becomes the starting point
for all records for the court and other
parties to the case. These memberships
will provide valuable information for the
court to improve its procedures and
response to its work.
COMMITMENT TO SERVE OUR
DIVERSE COMMUNITY
The concept of an interpreters' calendar
was established. This is where all
persons needing interpreters are put on
one calendar. We always have an
interpreter for Spanish and often for
Russian and Korean. This saves the cost
of interpreters and assures the
defendants can communicate with the
court. This has been expanded to having
written documents in different languages
so that when persons who speak a
different language can be given a
document in their language advising
then of when to return and that an
interpreter will be present. The look on
their face is enough to know their
appreciation and relief that they
understand what needs to be done. Court
staff frustration with communication is
also reduced. This has been expanded to
other forms including advise of rights.
This greatly improves customer service
for those who speak languages other
than English.
SECURITY
With recent events this has become a
concern to many persons. The Court had
already taken security precautions that
include security officers with monitor,
24 hour surveillance recording from
security cameras, door metal detector
and wand metal detector. There are other
security devices in place. These
precautions were put in place due to the
clientele that the Court serves but also to
avoid an inquiry from the Department of
Labor and Industries concerning safety
of employees that other courts have had.
FUTURE PLANS
The Court is not yet finished and after
consulting with appropriate persons and
departments is looking forward to
considering:
-Teen Court
-Mental Health evaluation and
improvements
-Listing resources for Domestic
Violence Victims including Petitions for
financial support from Superior Court
and Office of Support Enforcement.
-Expanding the existing
volunteer program.
-Expanding and improving the
use of technology in the Court.
DRIVING UNDER THE
INFLUENCE
From January 1, 2001 through August
2001, there have been 255 cases filed for
Driving Under the Influence. Defendants
with *epeated alcohol related offenses
are most frequently involved alcohol
related accidents. The Court has required
individuals that are in this high risk
group to take a breath test twice a day on
equipment installed on their phone. This
has enabled the Court to monitor these
individuals alcohol consumption. Where
the defendant has been unable to control
their drinking as indicated by these tests,
the court has imposed higher bail. This
often results in the defendant being in
jail until their case is heard in court. It
has also been helpful persuading
defendants to enroll in treatment.
Programs such as this reflect the efforts
of the Court to help provide the citizens
of Federal Way with a place they can
live, work, and play safely.
CLOSING
The success of the Court is due to a
group of dedicated professionals. Each
employee performs tasks that are
essential to the operation of the court.
They are courteous, hard working and
make good suggestions for
improvements to the Court. Their efforts
are invaluable to the success of this
Court. The Court is confident that the
new challenges that inevitably come will
be met by the staff with as much success
as they have had in the past. The court
and court administration looks forward
to working with the other participants to
meet those challenges to provide a court
that the citizens of Federal Way feel
gives them a fair hearing.

FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL
PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES & PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
Date: November 19, 2001
Jnr
From: David Moseley, City Manager ,-)
Item: Municipal Judge Reappointment
Background:
Washington State Law requires that all municipal judges serve four-year terms that run on the
same statewide cycle. The current cycle began Jan. 1, 1998 and ends Dec. 31, 2001. The
upcoming cycle begins Jan. 1, 2002 and ends Dec. 31, 2005.
Because the city formed its Municipal Court mid-cycle, the City Manager's appointment of
David Tracy as Federal Way's Municipal Judge was effective for only the final two years of the
1998-2001 cycle. Therefore, the City Manager must reappoint Judge Tracy to a new four-year
term in order for him to continue in office.
Based upon a review of the Municipal Court's work in its first two years, I have chosen to
reappoint Judge Tracy to a new four-year term. State law requires that the City Council confirm
the City Manager's judicial appointments.
Committee Recommendation:
Mot;on to 1) recommend that the full City Council confirm the City Manager's reappointment of
Municipal Judge David Tracy to a full four-year term commencing Jan. 1, 2002 and expiring
Dec. 31, 2005, and 2) place this item on the Dec. 4 City Council Consent Agenda.

PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES AND PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
Date: November 8, 2001
From: Richard Bye, Chai , Human Services Commission T�
Via: David Mos aV
Manager
Subject: Mid-Bienniuview of 2001-02 Human Services Contracts
Background
At your November 19, 2001 meeting, the Committee will take action on the Commission's
recommendations regarding 2002 Human Services Commission allocations, based on our
evaluation of agency contract performance. I will be at the meeting to present the
recommendations and respond to your questions. This memo describes: the purpose of the
mid -biennium review; the process used to evaluate contract performance; the Commission's
recommendations regarding the 2002 Human Services Fund allocations and 2002 one-time
funding. Attachments include: 1) Human Services Commission Mid -Biennium Review
Recommendations for 2002; 2) Mid -Biennium Review Criteria; and 3) Memo to the Human
Services Commission regarding 2002 One -Time Funding dated October 11, 2001. Detailed
summary sheets are available from the Human Services Division office if you would like specific
contract performance information on each program. If you have any questions about the mid -
biennium review prior to the meeting, please contact Ann Guenther, Human Services Manager
at (253) 661-4039.
Last year the Council approved the two-year allocation plan, with the understanding that the
second year funding (for 2002) is contingent upon satisfactory contract performance and upon
City funding available. When the City Council approved the use of the two-year funding cycle,
they directed the Commission to conduct a mid -biennium review of agency contract
performance. The purpose of the Commission's review was to evaluate agency contract
performance and recommend for each program whether funding for 2002 should continue at
the allocated level, or if the program's funding should be decreased in the case of
unsatisfactory contract performance.
The other part of the mid -biennium review process is to review options for one-time funding for
2002. The Council has allocated $412,500 human services general funds for each year of the
2001-02 biennium. In addition, a small amount of one-time funds is available each year.
Sources of one-time funding include: employee and defendant donations to the Human
Services fund and unspent portions of previous year human services contracts. The estimated
amount of one-time funds available for 2002 is estimated to be available is between $25,000
and $28,000, compared to $11,500 for 2001.
Process Used to Evaluate Agency Contract Performance
The Commission conducted the mid -biennium review of 2001-02 contracts at our September
and October meetings. The Commission reviewed individual reports on each of the 31 Human
Services funded programs. The contract performance review included evaluating program
performance in three areas: 1) how agencies were performing on the contract goals for the
number of service units provided (i.e. number of Federal Way residents served, number of
counseling hours provided); 2) how agencies were progressing in developing outcome
evaluations for their programs which measure the results and effectiveness of services; and 3)
general agency operation. (See Attachment 2, Review Criteria for more detail.)
In September, the Commission began the evaluation of contract performance for the 31 human
services funded programs. The recommendation options the Commission used were to
maintain the 2002 allocation level due to satisfactory contract performance, decrease the 2002
allocation level due to unsatisfactory contract performance, and to recommend for 2002 one-
time funding as available. In October, the Commission continued the evaluation contract
performance, prepared the 2002 one-time funding plan, and finalized the recommendations for
transmittal to the City Council.
Commission's Recommendations Regarding 2002 Base Funding ($412,500)
Due to the fact that the 31 programs funded by the City in 2001 are performing, well on their
contracts, the Commission is recommending that all programs be maintained at the 2002
allocation level. The Commission's evaluation found that the majority of the programs funded
by the City are on track to meet or exceed the annual contract goals; are developing
evaluations for their programs that focus on effective results for clients; and are running
smoothly administratively.
The Commission continues to watch the Domestic Abuse Women's Network (DAWN) agency
closely due to the administrative transition the agency is currently undergoing. However, the
agency is providing the contracted services of confidential shelter for Federal Way domestic
violence victims and is meeting contract goals, so the Commission recommends continuing the
2002 allocation for this program as well.
In addition to the 31 human services programs that received 2001-02 funding, ElderHealth
Northwest Connections Adult Day Health Program received 2001 one-time funding only. They
did not receive a regular allocation for 2001-02, but were awarded $3,000 in 2001 one-time
funding. The Commission reviewed the contract performance of this program as well and
recommends 2002 one-time for this program as available. (See below for more information on
the 2002 one-time funding recommendations.)
Commission's Recommendations Regarding 2002 One -Time Funding ($25,000 - $28,000)
Each year, a small amount of one-time Human Services funding becomes available, over and
above the Human Services Fund base. Due to the sourcesof these funds, the specific amount
cannot be predicted during the biennial allocation process. For this reason, the Commission
recommends a one-time funding plan so that the one-time fund can be used as they become
available. Sources of one-time funding include: employee and defendant donations to the Human
Services fund and unspent portions of previous year human services contracts. The estimated
amount of one-time funds available for 2002 is between $25,000 and $28,000, with approximately
$21,000 coming from defendant donations. During the first quarter of 2001, City prosecutors
began including certain provisions in their plea negotiations to address the impact of criminal
conduct on the community. Defendants with no criminal history are permitted to make a donation
to the City's Human Services Fund, along with conditions relating to the specific crime charged
(i.e. alcohol/drug awareness or domestic violence treatment).

� --2
In preparing the 2002 one-time funding recommendations, the Commission reviewed the original
2001-02 human services funding recommendations and contingency plan, the 2001-02 allocations
approved by the City Council, and the 2001 one-time funding plan approved by the Council.
The Commission considered a number of options for allocating 2002 one-time funding including
using the 2001 one-time funding plan, using the original 2001-02 contingency plan, allocating
part of the defendant donations to human services agencies providing services that are related
to the Law Department's work (i.e. motel vouchers for domestic violence victims), setting aside
part of the funds for a specified future project, and increasing funding to programs that may lose
funding from King County and/or other sources. (For more detail on the options considered,
see Attachment 3.)
After reviewing all of the options available for allocating 2002 one-time funding, the Commission
chose to recommend a one-time funding plan that uses a combination of the 2001 one-time
funding plan and the original 2001-02 Contingency Plan. Below are the Commission's one-time
funding recommendations for 2002 in priority order. These recommendations are based on an
estimated amount of $25,000 - $28,000. The Commission recommends using this order to
allocate one-time funding up to the amount that becomes available for 2002.

Summary
The Commission is confident that the 2002 allocations and recommended one-time funding
plan address the most critical needs in Federal Way and the City Council's four funding
priorities for human services - basic needs, public safety, self-sufficiency and independence
and strong neighborhoods. I look forward to discussing the 2002 Mid -Biennium Review and
One-time Funding Recommendations with you at your November 19, 2001 meeting. If you
have any questions about the recommendations before your meeting, please contact Ann
Guenther, Human Services Manager, at 253-661-4039.

City of Federal Way
2001-02 Mid -Biennium Review of Human Services Contracts
Review Criteria
The review of each program summarizes the program's performance in the areas of outputs,
outcomes and agency administration. Below are the criteria for each of these areas.
Outputs (Quantity of services delivered)
Agencies will be at 50% of the annual goal (second quarter report).
Agencies who are at less than 50% of the goal will have a solid rationale for being
behind and an action plan for meeting all annual goals.
For those agencies that were funded in past years, their contract performance of the
previous full year will be taken into account. (ie. If an agency is behind in meeting
contract goals, is this the first time they've been behind or do they have a history of
being behind?).
Outcomes (Is the program making a difference?)
• The agency staff/volunteers have received outcomes evaluation training.
• The agency is collecting and reporting outcomes data to the City.
• The agency uses clear indicators and appropriate measuring tools to document
progress toward outcomes.
• The agency revises their outcomes, indicators, tools and data collection methods as
needed.
• The agency reports results that can demonstrate whether measurable differences have
occurred.
Agency Administration
The agency complies with City contract requirements, including submission of timely
and accurate quarterly reports.
The agency appears to be running smoothly, without major turnover or negative
program changes.
The City has received no complaints about the program's services.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 11, 2001
TO: Human Services Commission
FROM: Ann Guenther, Human Services Manager
SUBJECT: Mid -Biennium Review, One -Time Funding Plan
ATTACHMENT 3
(253) 661-4000
Federal Way, WA 98063-9718
Background
At your next meeting, the Commission will prepare a prioritized plan for the 2002 one-time
funding, which will be presented to the Council with the Mid -Biennium Review
recommendations. This memo provides information on the purpose of the one- time funding
plan, a summary of the estimated funds available, and several options for the Commission to
choose from in developing the plan.
Each year, a small amount of one-time Human Services funding becomes available, over and
above the Human Services Fund base. Due to the sources of these funds, the specific amount
cannot be predicted during the biennial allocation process. For this reason, the Human
Services Commission recommends a one-time funding plan, so that the one-time funds can be
used as they become available.
Sources of one-time funding available for 2002 include unspent funds from previous year
contracts, employee donations, and defendant donations. The amount of one-time funding
available for 2002 is estimated to be between $25,000 - $28,000. Of that approximately
$21,000 is expected to be collected from defendant donations.
Options Menu
As you review the options below, keep in mind that the Commission can choose one option or a
combination of the options in preparing your recommendation for allocating 2002 one-time
funds.
It has been past practice to allocate one-time funds to agencies that have been allocated funds
for the current biennium and/or those who applied for funding for the current biennium rather
than conduct a special funding process for the one-time funding.
1) Use the 2001 One -Time Funding Plan - When the Commission prepared the 2001-02
funding recommendations in the summer of 2000, they prepared a plan for allocation of the
$400,000 base funding available and a Contingency Plan for allocating any one-time funds
available. When the Council approved the 2001-02 funding plan, 95% of the Commission's
base funding recommendations were funded. In addition, some of the programs in the
Commission's recommended Contingency Plan were allocated base funds.
When the Commission prepared the 2001 one-time funding recommendations in January of this
year, they reviewed the 2001-02 allocations and one-time funding plan. The Commission noted
that there were several programs in the original base plan of $400,000 that did not get funded to
the full recommendation. The Commission recommended that the available one-time funds for
2001 be allocated to those programs.
The amount of one-time funding available for 2001 was $12,000. Using the list below, the
Commission recommended funding the first four programs in the list below (shaded programs),
using $11,500 of the one-time funding available. The Council approved that recommendation.
If the Commission chooses to use this prioritized list for 2002 one-time funding, the Commission
could recommend funding for the first four in the list (those funded in 2001) as well as the other
programs in the list, since the amount of 2002 one-time funding is estimated to be higher than
the $12,000 available in 2001.

' Council Human Services goals are: 1) Basic Needs, 2) Public Safety, 3) Self -Sufficiency and Independence, and 4)
Strong Neighborhoods.
2) Use the original 2001-02 Contingency Plan - Allocate the one-time funding according to
the prioritized 2001-02 Contingency Plan. During the 2001-02 Human Services General
Funding allocation process, the Commission presented a contingency plan to the City Council to
be used for additional funds that become available. At the time the contingency plan was
developed, it assumed that the $400,000 base funding plan would be fully funded. The chart
below outlines the Contingency Plan's first eight priorities for additional funding totaling $28,500.
The Commission did not recommend using this plan for the 2001 one-time funding, as they
determined that the programs in Option 1 (above) were a higher priority.

with different priorities. 3 - CCS After -Hours Voucher Program 2001 allocation of $5,000 includes $1,500 of one-time
funding. Their base allocation for 2001 and 2002 is $3,500.

3) Defendant donations to designated programs — In the first quarter of 2001, the
prosecutors in the City's Law Department began recommending sentences for misdemeanor
defendants to make a donation to the City's Human Services Fund. In the first three quarters of
2001, $15,952 has been collected through this program. Due to the level of donations from this
source, the Commission may want to consider allocating part of the funds collected to human
services programs related to the Law Department's work. One possible option is allocating one-
time funds to agencies that provide motel voucher programs such as the Catholic Community
Services, After-Hours Voucher program and the Federal Way Community Caregiving Network,
Emergency Shelter program. Staff have asked the Law Department if they have any other
ideas regarding the allocation of these funds. Staff will provided that information to the
Commission at your October meeting.
4) Set aside a portion of the total one-time funds available each year for a specific future
project - Due to the collection of defendant donations, the amount of one-time funding for
human services is now significantly higher each year than it was when the primary sources of
one-time funding were unspent contract funds and employee donations. Given this, the
Commission may want to consider setting aside a specified portion of the funds each year for a
specific future project. Potential projects that may fit in this category include operating funds for
a new youth shelter or operating funds for expanded domestic violence shelter services.
5) Funding to programs that are expected to lose King County funding — As discussed in
previous Commission meetings, King County is reducing their human services budget by more
than 5 million dollars in 2002. A separate memo in this packet details the reductions and the
implications for Federal Way residents. Two of the most specific reductions to Federal Way
programs are the elimination of the King County Child Care subsidies for residents of
incorporated cities (24 Federal Way children received these subsidies in 2001 totaling $114,794
for the year), and the proposed reduction of funding for the Evergreen Club, Korean Seniors
program. The Commission could choose to recommend allocating 2002 one-time funds to local
child care subsidy programs, the Evergreen Club, or other programs due to receive reductions.
The County is currently reviewing changes to their policies for aging services, which may impact
the funding for those programs. Specifically, funding for the Evergreen Club, Korean Seniors
Program ($25,911 annually), is slated to be eliminated in the King County Executive's 2002
proposed budget. However, if the revised aging policies are approved, the Evergreen Club
would be funded at the current level. The Evergreen Club, Korean Seniors program provides
case management, meals and socialization for Korean seniors. The program provides services
from the Klahanee Community/Senior Center. The program also received $2,000 Special
Appropriations funding from King County in 2001. The City supports this program by providing
space and other in-kind services for program operations. In 2000, the Evergreen Club applied
for City of Federal Way and King County funding for 2001-02. The program received full
funding from the County, so the Commission did not recommend City 2001-02 funding for the
program.
I will be at your October 22, 2001 meeting to present the 2002 one-time funding options and to
respond to your questions. If you have any questions before the meeting, please call me at
(253) 661-4039 or e-mail at anng(a-_)fedway.orr .

Subject: Revise the Number of Positions Serving on the Arts Commission
Background:
At the October Arts Commission meeting the Commission passed a motion to recommend to
Council a revision of the number of positions from eleven members to nine members. The
Commission is recommending the change for several reasons. When originally formed in 1991,
the City was just beginning services and the budget and Work Plan were larger. The budget has
diminished over the last several budget cycles and the Work Plan is reflective of the change in
financial resources. A re -organization from four Committees to three Committees was made in
in 2001 and the Commission feels a smaller number of Commission members can adequately
administer the current work program.
Committee Recommendation:
Move to recommend to full Council approval to Amend Ordinance Nos. 91-84 and 97-285 to
reduce the number of Commission positions from eleven members to nine members.

Subject: 2002 Contract for Services Funding
Background:
The Cultural Arts Contract for Services Program is a program of the Arts Commission that funds
local arts agencies who offer cultural programs within the community. The City serves as a
partner rather than a producer of arts programming which allows the City to provide services at
very reduced cost. Local arts agencies apply by completing an application; the Commission
reviews the applications, interviews each agency and develops a funding proposal.
The 2002 Arts Commission budget allocated $27,200 for the Contract for Services Program. The
Arts Commissions recommendation is attached.
Committee Recommendation:
Move to recommend to the full Council the approval of the 2002 Cultural Arts Contract for
Services funding as recommended by the Arts Commission.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 5, 2001
TO: PRI -[SPS Coun onuttee
VIA: David Mose y, n ger��.�
f ROM: Jennifer Schroder, irector
SUBJECT: Use of tobacco in parks ,
At the Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Committee meeting on October 8, staff
presented the Commissions recommendation to not pursue a policy or ordinance to ban tobacco use in the
parks. After reviewing the commissions' recommendation, the Committee directed staff to develop a sign
that would proactively discourage tobacco use in areas where people gather and that the language did not
have to be based on a policy or ordinance.
Attached to this memorandum is two exhibits, exhibit A and B. Exhibit A is the draft sign presented to the
Parks Commission at their November 1, meeting for review. Exhibit B is the Commissions edited version.
In the public meeting the Parks Commission expressed their preference that no signs be installed regarding
the use of tobacco in parks. The following are the Commissions general comments concerning the signs:
• The signs could cause antagonistic responses that would other wise not be prompted
• No one will read the signs
• Use only the symbol and delete any language
■ Include in information (symbol and language) from the signs in the league packets
• Agree with intent but uncertain that sign will solve the issue
• The signs extend government involvement too far
• People need to be more self -policing
The proposed sign is not a policy statement nor is it based on the park rules ordinance therefore it is not
enforceable. The intent of the signage is to have tobacco users voluntarily refrain from the use of tobacco in
park areas where people gather.
Committee alternatives
If the Committee prefers to post the signs in city parks encouraging tobacco users to voluntarily refrain from
the use of tobacco where people gather, then staff recommends to post the signs at Celebration Park play area
and soccer fields for a designated test period (currently the ball fields are closed for the season). The signage
does not create a policy or an ordinance, and therefore can be implemented administratively by the
department. Alternatively, the Committee accepts the Parks Commissions recommendation declining to
implement the proposed signage.
Committee recommendation
Option 1) Move that staff not post in parks signage asking tobacco users to voluntarily refrain from the use of
tobacco in the park where people gather, or,
Option 2) Move to authorize staff to install park signs at the play area and soccer fields in Celebration Park
for a trial period of six months beginning January 1, 2002, that asks tobacco users to voluntarily refrain from
using tobacco in the park where people gather. At the end of the six-month trial period, staff will provide the
Committee a report of the impact from the signs.

Property Acquisition Reco�ndation
Background:
On August 28i' 2001, the Parks and Recreation Commission toured four properties that citizens requested the city
consider for parks. These properties are referenced by the owner names. They are the Kenwood, Armstrong,
Gadberry and Danilchek properties.
Property locations are:
• The Kenwood property also referred to as the "Kenwood Pit", it is approximately 9 acres and owned by
King County. The property is located between 8'h and 10`' Avenue SW at S.W. 3501 Street
■ The Armstrong property is approximately a 20 -acre site and is located south of S.W. 356°1 ST and west of
15`h Ave S.W. The property lies underneath the BPA Power lines and includes the Tacoma Water Pipe
Line.
• The Gadberry property, also know as the "Vantana" plat is approximately 10 acres. The property is located
between SW 304`' and SW 306`h Street, at 25`h Avenue SW as extended.
• The Danilchek property is located at the north east corner of S. 304`' and Highway 99 is approximately 22
acres.
The properties were evaluated using a set of five criteria approved by the commission at its September meeting and
then presented to the Council Committee at its October meeting. The five criteria are: Community Need, Project
Scope, Immediacy of Threat, Site Suitability, and Expansion.
Upon thorough review of each property by the commission, the properties were scored using the established criteria.
Once scores were tallied, the commission voted to remove the Danilchik property from future consideration based
on a low score of 7.2. The total possible score is 25, the remaining properties scored as follows: Armstrong 15.4
Gadberry 15.1 and Kenwood 12.3. It is the desire of the commission to keep the property acquisition list as a work
in progress. When additional properties become available the commission recommends using the established criteria
and placing potential properties that score at least 60% of the total score on the list in rank order. (The summary of
the Commissions scoring of these sites is attached).
Opportunity
The Armstrong property is located within the city's Parks and Open Space Comprehensive Plan planning area "D".
At present, there are no neighborhood parks serving this planning area. The closest public neighborhood park is
Coronado Park. Coronado Park is a 1.5 -acre park located at 2501 SW 3491h Place.
The Armstrong property (20+ acres) is listed with Horan Reality for $110,000. The property is made up of four
separate tax lots that include a 4.83 acres lot within Pierce County. The site includes a wetland, however sections of
the property outside the wetland buffer appears to have the potential to provide for the development of neighborhood
park elements i.e., play area, play field and trails.
Fundinp,
Currently in the Parks Capital Improvement Project (CIP) account there is $109,225 in unallocated interest earnings
that have accumulated from appropriated Parks CIP projects. Additionally the City has collected $31,562 through
mitigation fees for parks. The mitigation fees are collected from developers of subdivisions that can not meet the
land use code that requires 15 percent of the gross land area of the subdivision to be set aside for open space and
recreation. The mitigation fees can be used for the propose of park acquisition and/or development within the park
planning area the subdivision is located. Total amount of unallocated Park CIP funds available is $140,787.
L .j—
Parks and Recreation Commission recommendations:
At the Commissions November 1, meeting the following motions were passed:
• Recommend to the City Council to allocate, unallocated Park CIP funds that have been collected through
mitigation fees and interest earnings on Park CIP fund balances to a Park Acquisition Fund in the amount
of $140,787 and,
■ Recommend to the City Council to authorize staff to negotiate the purchase of the Armstrong Property for a
Neighborhood/Cornmunity Park.
Process for negotiating the purchase:
Should Council accept the commission's recommendation, the city would execute a 90 -day option to purchase the
Armstrong Property. This would allow staff to conduct a feasibility review of the property's ability to be developed
for the purpose of a park. Based on the review, Council at that time would either direct staff to negotiate a purchase
agreement or to terminate the option.
Council Committee recommendations:
• Move to full Council approval to allocate, unallocated Park CIP funds that have been collected through
mitigation fees and interest earnings on Park CIP fund balances to a Park Acquisition Fund in the amount
of $140,787 and,
• Move to full Council authorization to the City Manager to execute a 90 -day purchase option, for the
Armstrong Property at a nominal cost ($10.00) for the purpose of a Neighborhood/Cornmunity Park. The
90 days will allow staff to evaluate the property's value and development restrictions for the purposes of
negotiating a purchase price.
