BUSINESS ITEMS .~\ Valley Corn InterIocal Al!reements - Phase II Because two of the committee members were not on the council at the time the first council considered this, Assistant City Manager Derek Matheson provided some history. Since the police department was formed in 1996, the 911 calls have been answered and dispatched by Valley Corn. Between 1996 and 1999 we were a subscriber entity. We did not have any ownership with Valley Com, but we had a contract with them to handle our dispatch services. In the late 1990's, the four owner cities recognized that Valley Com was outgrowing its facilities. They decided to move forward with a new facility, also located in Kent. At this point, they invited Federal Way to become a fifth owner of Valley Com in exchange for us providing about 2.5 million do}lars towards a new facility. At the same time, the Fire Department had raised some issues regarding the City of Federal Way entering into a permanent relationship with Valley Com, because they operated the South Com Dispatch Center. They were concerned that we would be fragmenting dispatch of fire services and police services in our community. After numerous meetings with the Fire Department, it became clear that they had a similar interest in going to Valley Com because it could reduce their cost per call. In July of 1999 the City Council approved the five way inter-local. Since that point we have issued 2.5 million dollars in debt through a public development authority and that facility is scheduled to open in February 2002. The second agreement is a three way inter-local that creates a direct tie between Valley Com and the Federal Way Fire Department. The purpose for having the City as a party to the agreement is that the agreement protects the City from liability by creating a direct relationship between Valley Com and the Fire Department. This will allow each entity recourse against the other without having to file a claim or suit against the City. It sets forth their roles and responsibilities and provides for proper indemnification of the city. In exchange for the Fire Department coming on board with Valley Com, they have agreed to contribute 15% of our debt service cost for the new service facility recognizing that of all the public safety calls in Federal Way, IS')!" of them are for the Fire Department, and 85% are for the Police Department. That comes out to about PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES & PUBLIC SAFETY COUNCIL COMMITTEE Monday, September 10,2001 Summary Page 2 $450,000, which the fire department would transfer to the City as a lump sum once Valley Com starts providing services to the Fire Department next February. Council member McColgan asked Derek who had he worked with at the Federal Way Fire Department. Derek stated he worked with Grant Gaspard, Chief Technology Officer, who handled the negotiations, and Chief Al Church. Council member McColgan asked if the Federal Way Fire Department was involved in developing this agreement. Matheson stated that they almost exclusively handled the negotiations between their two entities, and were very much involved. Deputy Chief Kachmar stated that there was nothing that indicates the billing standards. Matheson stated the billing relationship would be directly between Valley Com and the Federal Way Fire Department. He stated this was referenced in Section 2 of the original agreement, and that in the separate agreement it was referenced in Section 5, Fee for Services. Kochmar expressed concern that a twenty-year agreement may be too long. Matheson stated that the purpose for the twenty-year agreement is that the expected life of the new facility is twenty years, and we're paying debt for twenty years and the Fire Department is paying 15% of the debt for twenty years. They would not like it if we backed out a few years into the agreement. McCOLGAN MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO FULL CITY COUNCIL TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN THE TWO AFOREMENTIONED PHASE IIINTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS IMPLEMENTING THE FEDERAL WAY FIRE DEPARTMENT'S USE OF VALLEY COM FOR DISPATCH SERVICES. BURBIDGE SECONDED. MOTION PASSED. Amendinl! Park Regulations Rel!ardinl! Expulsion from Parks Schroder explained that the Director currently has the authority to expel individuals from parks under Chapter 11, Section 11-55. This past year, Schroder had to expel someone from the Park. During this process it became clear that the language needed to be changed in the code. It would be difficult to enforce the notice of expulsion from the Parks Director if a citizen chose not to abide by the notice. Burbidge clarified that this is an effort to make the regulation enforceable. Deputy Attorney Richardson stated that once the letter was issued, we were unable to enforce it if the individual chose to ignore it. In order for the expulsion order to be enforceable, the written notice of expulsion needs to be a notice 'of trespass. The notice of trespass will give Police Officers the authority that they need to issue citations for criminal trespass. The amendment also provides that the Director may designate another employee to issue the notice of expulsion. The City Attorney's office and the Public Safety Department have reviewed the amendment. The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed it at their September meeting, and recommended a "do pass" to the Council Committee. McCOLGAN MADE A MOYION TO FORWARD THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 91-82, SECTION 11-55 OF ARTICLE III TO CHAPTER 11 OF THE PARKS REGULATIONS, TO THE FULL CITY COUNCIL, WITH A "DO PASS" RECOMMENDATION.

She presented Chief Kirkpatrick with photos of the woods that are located next to the Nine Lakes Baptist Church. She would like the city to require the church to clear out the wooded area. It is ruining the neighborhood and bringing down property values. She would like the Police to go into the woods, so they can witness what is happening in the¡;e. Deputy Mayor Kachmar suggested that the city set up a meeting with City staff, Police and residents. City Manåger Moseley stated that staff has looked at the area. Staff is focusing on the area and getting it cleaned out. He has also talked with staff on coordinating a meeting with public works, public safety, community development with the condominium owners in the area. Strategies will be pursued.

BUSINESS ITEMS 2002 CDBG Proposed Use of Funds Margot Tsakones represented the DAWN organization. She reiterated that the need for shelter is critical. Last year 7,000 bed nights were used in Federal Way. This year there have already been 5,000 bed nights used. She wished to extend her appreciation and encourage the Committee to forward the recommendation for shelter renovation and expansion to full council.

PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES & PVBUC SAFETY COUNCIL COMMITTEE Monday, August 13,2001 Summary Page 2 Guenther introduced Stanley Yntema the new CDBG Coordinator. Stanley took a few moments to tell the committee and staff about himself. Ann attended the meeting with Richard Bye the Chair of the Human Services Commission. They were prepared to give a presentation on three areas. I) Overview of the recommendations 2) Requested changes to the contingency plan that Council Committee members have made, and 3) Update on a new project cancellation that happened late last week. Due to the fact that the Human Services Commission had a chance to talk with the Council members last week it was decided that the overview was not necessary. Guenther distributed handouts of the contingency plan showing the revisions that occurred after she met with the Council members. There were two revisions that council committee members requested. The first is in the Capital Projects Section under increased funds. The Council Committee members asked that in the RFP it would specify that the available funds would be used to increase the supply of housing for low- and moderate income Federal Way residents, including permanent affordable housing, and/or emergency shelter, and other eligible capital projects. Due to the fact that we know we have a large sum of money, the Council Committee members would like to open it to all Capital Projects. We will recapture the International District Funds in 2002. The amount of the recaptured funds is approximately $174,000.00. The second change is on Capital Projects for decreasing if we have less money than anticipated. The recommended change is that the first decrease will be made to any unallocated funds available before reductions are made to specific projects. When the original recommendations were made, there were not any unallocated funds. Hellickson stated that the money from the International District is coming back to us, and will be going back out for an RFP. He wanted the attendees to be aware that if they had some good use for that money to please submit an RFP. Guenther distributed a revised copy of the memo. The committee recommendation has been altered due to the fact that the Multi Service Center had requested that their driveway enhancement project be cancelled. The City allocated $6,677 dollars for this project for 2000, and the lowest bid came in at $17,082.00. In order to recapture the money and use it in the future, the council needs to take action to cancel it and reallocate it to 2002. Chair Burbidge asked if anyone had any questions regarding the Multi Service Project. Burbidge and Guenther have had a discussion on whether thera was any way to come up with a solution for that project sooner, rather than waiting until next year. It is apparent that it is not possible. Guenther explained that if the contingency plan is approved, then they could come in for those special funds in early 2002. This is because the contingency plan has been revised to include any other Capital Project. . HELLICKSON MOVED T2 APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATION APPROVAL OF THE 2002 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROPOSED USE OF FUNDS, AS PRESENTED BY THE HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION AND MODIFIED BY THE COMMITTEE. BURBIDGE SECONDED. MOTION PASSED. Resolution to Accept the 2001 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Chief Kirkpatrick stated that this is a resolution to accept the grant awarded to them by the Bureau Justice Assistance Local Law Enforcement Block Grant. The Public Safety applied for the grant, and received an immediate response, rewarding the grant to the Public Safety Department. There is a 45day time period to accept this giant. The total amount of the grant is $96,133.70. This grant will go towards the implementation of surveillance cameras, in hopes of reducing narcotic and prostitution activities within the Pacific Highway Downtown Core. Chief Kirkpatrick stated that they do not have all of the numbers put together. She said they will be within the project money. HELLICKSON MOVED THE MOTION TO FORWARD THE RESOLUTION TO APPROVE ACCEPTANCE OF THE 2001 LLEBG AWARD TO FULLCOUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION AT ITS SEPTEMBER 4,2001 MEETING. BURBIDGE SECONDED. MOTION PASSED. Hellickson congratulated Chief Kirkpatrick on obtaining this grant. 2001 Washine:ton Traffic Safety Commission 3-FLAGS Traffic Safety Grants Chief Kirkpatrick stated that the City applied for a block grant that focuses on traffic.

The current programs can be subdivided into five primary functions. The functions incorporated in Volunteer Programs include: . recruitment of volunteers and . recognition. Neighborhood Programs can be divided into: . disaster preparedness training and . administering the Neighborhood Matching Fund mini-grant. A fifth function is marketing all of the programs and services. I will be attending your October 8, 2001 meeting to give you a brief presentation and answer any questions you might have concerning the programs. Volunteer ProQrams , , Recruitment ~ In the first half of this year, 150 volunteers contributed over 4,000 hours of service to the City of Federal Way. While the city has an active volunteer program, there are still tasks that could be completed by a?ditional volunteers. Since May, I have incorporated two new tools for recruitment. 1. I now post volunteer openings on a nation-wide website called "VolunteerMatch." This service is free of charge and has resulted in over 30 expressing interest in volunteering for specific openings at the city. 2. I also have published a flyer listing volunteer opportunities. The flyer was made available to citizens at this year's Family Fest and in the City tialliobby. I hope to distribute copies to area libraries and other public places. ' I work closely with other city departments to recruit volunteers for them and to provide support in managing those volunteers and keeping records. Re~ognition The main form of recognition is the annual volunteer dinner. Planning for the February 2002 dinner has already begun. The planning and execution of this event is a huge undertaking. Last February, over 300 people attended! We are exploring ways to provide other recognition to volunteers based on number of hours worked. I am also planning on providing low-to-no-cost recognition ideas for volunteers' supervisors. (-.1- Neiç¡hborhood Proç¡rams Disaster Preparedness Training Employees from the Human Services Division, and the Public Safety and fire Departments as well as volunteers from the Federal Way School District, Weyerhaeuser, and the American Red Cross conduct disaster preparedness training. This training is offered to the citizens of Federal Way free of charge. There are currently two disaster preparedness programs: 1. Neighborhood Emergency Teams, or NETs, are organized similar to a block watch group. Neighborhoods get together and a representative from the City's Disaster Preparedness program trains them and organizes them into disaster response units to handle things such as First Aid, Care and Shelter, Communication, and Light Search and Rescue. Over 70 neighborhoods have participated in NET meetings. We are in the process of surveying each of the NET captains to assess their team's status and determine their current needs. 2. NET Responders receive more extensive training in disaster preparedness based on the Federal Emergency Management Association's CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams) program. NET Responders attend seven training sessions: . Orientation . Disaster Fire Suppression . Disaster Psychology . Light Urban Search and Rescue . Damage Assessment . Disaster First Aid . Practical Drill and Graduation I have scheduled a NET Responder course to begin October 4th. Attendance is limited to 24 people, and wè'are quickly approaching that number. We are planning on offering the program in the Fall and Spring of each year. Another benefit to these programs for the city is that we are establishing a foundation of trained and reliable citizens that we can call on in times of need. We maintain communication with thes'å people by email and with a new quarterly newsletter, NET News. Neighborhood Matching Fund Mini-grant The Neighborhood Matching Fund mini-grant is a very worthwhile program that matches city funds of up to $2,500 with in-kind donation and volunteer hours to help community groups improve the quality of life in a neighborhood or the community as a whole. Past and pending projects include improvements to the BPA trailhead on First.Avenue by an Eagle Scout, beautification of neighborhood traffic circles, and installation of a streetlight. This year, I revised and updated the mini-grant guidelines and application. Marketinç¡ One.of the most challenging things about all of these programs is getting the word out to the citizens of Federal Way. I have addressed this challenge in a number of ways. . Brochures and flyers about volunteer opportunities, NETs, and the Neighborhood matching fund have been produced. Newspapers have been notified and press releases written. I have included articles in the employee newsletter and the City Update. The information on the web site has been reorganized and updated. We have some very exciting programs in place to facilitate interaction between the city and its citizens and to provide innovative services to the community. I will continue to strive to reach as many people as possible in my work. L-L. SoD CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES AND PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE Date: From: Via: Subject: October 1, 2001 Ann Guent~er, Hu n Services Manager d~ David Mose anager Letter to the g Co nty Executive Regarding Proposed Cuts to Human Services Programs Backç:¡round The purpose of this memo is to provide the Committee with information regarding the reductions proposed to human services programs in the 2002 King County budget, the implications for services to Federal Way residents, and to provide a draft letter to the King County Executive from the City Council regarding the human services reductions for the Committee's consideration. The Committee is asked to review the letter, make any desired changes, and forward it to the full Council for approval at the October 16, 2001 meeting. Attachments to this memo include: 1) Draft letter to King County Executive Rom Sims from the City Council regarding the reductions to human services programs; 2) June 1, 2001 memo to the Parks Recreation Human Services and Public Safety Council Committee with attachments outlining reductions to specific programs and; 3) August 9, 2001 letter to Mayor Park from King County Executive Ron Sims regarding the elimination of child care subsidies for residents of incorporated cities. , . ~ 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 Executive's 2002 proposed budget addresses this shortfall by combining several departments and making reductions in the areas of Human Service,s, Arts and Heritage, Law and Justice, and Public Health. The Human Services reductions ar~projected to be approximately 5.4 million dollars to the Department of Community and Human Services and the Children and Family Commission budgets. ~f Implications for Services to Federal Way Residents The proposed reductions will impact services to Federal Way residents in a number of ways including: elimination of child care subsidies to residents of incorporate.d cities, reductions to specific programs funded in the Community Services Division (CSD) budget; and elimination of the Special Program Appropriations budget allocated each year by individual County Council members. Below is a summary of the proposed cuts that will impact Federal Way residents. For a detailed list of the agencies to receive reductions, see Attachment 2. !-he King County Child Care program currently provides subsidies for 24 Federal Way residents, at a c<:,st of $114,794 per year. These subsidies will not be available to City residents as of January 1, 2002. Families currently receiving subsidies through the King County program will need to find child care subsidies from other sources. Of the agencies funded through the King County CSD budget, the following agencies serving 1')--1- Federal Way residents will receive reductions in 2002: Child Care Resources, Information and Referral; Crisis Clinic, Community Information Line and Teen Link; Evergreen Club, Korean Seniors; and the King County Domestic Violence Coalition. The Special Program Appropriations funds allocated each year by individual County Council members total 1 million dollars annually. In 2001, 20 organizations serving Federal Way received more than $95,000 including these human services programs: ACAP Courthouse Child Care (RJC); Community Health Centers of King County; Domestic Abuse Women's Network (DAWN); Evergreen Club, Korean Seniors; Federal Way Boys and Girls Club; Federal Way Community Caregiving Network, FUSION Program; Federal Way Norman Center, YMCA; King County Sexual Assault Center, Multi-Service Center, and the South King County Youth Violence Prevention Committee. In addition to human services agencies these funds were also allocated to service clubs, the Greater Federal Way Chamber of Commerce, the Federal Way Historical Society and the St. Francis Hospital Foundation. The Special Appropriations are not included in the King County Executive's 2002 proposed budget. 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. This program does not receive City human servic~s funds. , I will be at your October 8, 2001 meeting to discuss the proposed reductions to human services programs and the draft letter to King County Executive Rom Sims from the City Council (See Attachment 1). If you have any questions about the reductions before the meeting, please call me at (253) 661-4039. . ~'( Committee Recommendation 1. Move to approve the attached letter to King County regarding proposed cuts to human services programs and forward to the full Council for approval on October 16, 2001. 2. Move to approve the attached letter to King County regarding ,proposed cuts to human services programs as modified by the Committee and forward to the full Council for approval on October 16, 2001. c APPROVAL OF COMMITTEE REPORT: Committee Chair Committee Member Committee Member 2 0-2 ATTACHMENT 1 DRAFT October 1, 2001 The Honorable Ron Sims King County Executive King County Courthouse 516 Third Avenue, Room 400 Seattle, WA 98104-2312 Dear Executive Sims: I am writing to you on behalf of the Federal Way City Council regarding your proposal for budget reductions in 2002. While the Council recognizes the serious fiscal issues facing the County, we are concerned about the cuts proposed for human services. As you know, the City of Federal Way contributes financial support to agencies to help address the human services need of Federal Way residents. Through the City's Human Services general funds and Community Development Block Grant funds, the City contributes more than 1 million dollars annually to human services programs serving Federal Way residents. In addition to the funding some agencies receive from the City of Federal Way, they also rely on funds provided by the County to serve the needs of their clients. Those same agencies provide services to a substantial nùmber of county residents as well. ~ The proposed $5.4 million reduction in human services from the Current Expense Fund and the Children and Families Commission will have a serious impact on the residents of the City of Federal Way, especiallY,ln the provision of subsidized child care for the working poor, case management services fòr the Korean elderly population, a teen crisis line and access to information regarding available services. In addition, the proposed elimination of the Special Appropriations program would also have serious impacts on services funded by the County and the City of Federal Way. Services potentially impacted by elimination of the prograrr include basic health services for low-income residents, emergency shelter for homeless individuals and families; youth support programs and domestic violence and sexual assault services. The Council is particularly concerned that the proposed reductions are in conflict with the County's human services policies. The policies indicate that funds will be used to help assure access to basic services for those most vulnerable and most in need and provide services that reduce the impact on the County's juvenile and adult criminal justice systems. However, the proposed funding reductions would reduce or eliminate critical basic services that are needed to keep individuals and families self-sufficient. In addilion, we are concerned that designating the proposed cuts based on the County's adopted polices could unfairly affect agencies within cities because they may not primarily serve unincorporated residents. King County residents who reside in cities provide financial support for countywide services through the payment of county taxes and they should be provided the b-.3 DRAFT same access to services as residents in unincorporated areas. In 2000, Federal Way residents paid more than $20;784,769 in property, sales and other taxes to King County. In closing, the Federal Way City Council urges you to reconsider the proposed reductions for these critical human services. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ann Guenther, Human Services Manager at (253) 661-4039. Sincerely, Mike Park Mayor cc: King County Council Members Federal Way City Council Federal Way Human Services Commission David Moseley, Federal Way City Manager Kathy McClung, Director, Community Development Services Ann Guenther, Human Services Manager " ',,~ . . Q-Y ATTACHMENT 2 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES AND PUBLIC SAFETY DATE: FROM: VIA: SUBJECT: June 1, 2001 Ann Guenther, Human Services Manager David Moseley, City Manager 2002 King County Budget - Proposed Cuts to Human Services Programs Information Item Background On May 24, 2001, King County Executive Ron Sims held a meeting with representatives of suburban cities to discuss the County's 2002 budget and his proposed reductions to human services programs. Executive Sims noted that there is a 36 million dollar deficit in the 2002 King County Current Expense Fund budget. Increasing criminal justice demands, the increasing cost for health care coverage and benefits, and constrained revenue growth have contributed to this shortfall. The County also expects a 22 million dollar deficit in 2003. Attachment 1 describes the budget reductions proposed by Executive Sims to address the budget deficit. Proposed Reductions to Human Services Of the reductions proposed are 5 million dollars to the Department of Community and Human Services and the Children ànd Family Commission budgets. Programs were evaluated for their alignment with the Human Services Policy Framework adopted by the King County Council in 1999. County staff noted that the reductions proposed are 3% of the total Human Services budget administered by the County. The County will maintain funding for the following core programs - youth and fa(llily service network agencies, domestic violence programs, at-risk youth and juvenile justice, and services for the homeless. Though no reductions have been made in their aging programs budget, the County is currently reviewing their policies for aging services, which may impact the funding for those programs. The King County Child Care Program will be cut ($1.2 million) and closed by September 2002. Currently 17 Federal Way families receive child care subsidies through the King County Child Care program. Attachments 2 and 3 outline the proposed reductions to specific nonprofit agency programs. Of the nonprofit agency programs serving Federal Way residents, the following are proposed for reductions in 2002: Child Care Resources, Information and Referral; Crisis Clinic, Community Information Line and Teen Link; Evergreen Club, Korean Seniors; and the King County Domestic Violence Coalition. Please see Attachment 2 for amount of the funding reductions to each program. In addition, County staff noted that the Sp3cial Program Appropriations allocated each year by individual County Council members are not included in the proposed 2002 budget. These total more than $1 million each year. In 2001, 20 organizations serving Federal Way received more than $95,000. The human services agencies funded include: ACAP Courthouse Child Care (RJC); Community Health Centers of King County; Domestic Abuse Women's Network (DAWN); Evergreen Club, Korean Seniors; Federal Way Boys and Girls Club; Federal Way Community D-S Caregiving Network, FUSION Program; Federal Way Norman Center, King County Sexual Assault Center, Federal Way Norman Center, YMCA; Multi-Service Center, and the South King County Youth Violence Prevention Committee. In addition to human services agencies these funds were also allocated to service clubs, the Greater Federal Way Chamber of Commerce, the Federal Way Historical Society and the St. Francis Hospital Foundation. Next Steps King County Executive Ron Sims will meet with human services agencies impacted by these reductions on June 7, 2001. The County has stated that they will assist agencies in seeking funding from other sources, including providing assistance with grant writing. The Executive's budget will be forwarded to the King County Council for review in October. City staff will forward additional information to the Council regarding reductions in human services funding as it becomes available. King County staff are available to answer questions regarding the proposed reductions.

"'- ~-~ Attachment 1 2002 Budget Proposed Reductions and Efficiencies $36 Million Shortfall in Current Expense for 2002 - Overview King County faces the most serious Current Expense Fund financial problem in memory. King County's Current Expense Fund or general fund pays for our regional justice system, parks, social services and the general government infrastructure. Increasing criminal justice demands, the increasing cost for health care coverage and benefits, and constrained revenue growth have left us with a projected $36 million imbalance in the 2002 budget and another $22 million imbalance in 2003 if we do not immediately address this issue. The breakdown below does not add up to $36 million in reductions to the Current Expense Fund, but the county continues to review programs, services and functions to find other efficiencies. King County Government Reorganization Projected $13 Million Reduction On May 15,2001 King County Executive Ron Sims submitted an ordinance to the King County Council that if approved, will save more than $ 13 million per year, over $5 million of which is Current Expense savings. More than 130 jobs will be eliminated. These proposed changes will combine four existing departments into one Department of Executive Services, move the King County Parks Department into the Department of Natural Resources, and implement a variety of other efficiencies that will assist us in dealing with the $36 million shortfall. .> . Human Services Projected $5 Million Reduction The Department of Community and Human Services and the Children and Family Commission total projected reduction is approximatel" $5.4 million. Programs were evaluated for their alignment along the Human Services Policy FrameworR adopted by the King County Council in 1999. The County has created the Human Services Transition Program to assist affected agencies secure funding from other sources. A reduction of $5 million in human services represents less than 3 % of the total budget for human services countywide. King County's role as a partner in regional human services remains very strong. '~ '~ Arts and Heritage Projected $1.7 Million Reduction The King County Office of Cultural Resources is identifying ways to shift most of the arts and heritage programs and staffing to hotel-motel tax funding and greatly reducing the current expense burden. Further, King County is exploring ways to shift the grant dispensing and administrative functiùns funded by hotel- motel tax to a newly created public development authority. This shift would generate even more reductions from the general fund. Law and Justice Projected $10 Million Reduction The King County Executive is currently working with the separately elected officials (Prosecutor, District and Superior Court Judges, Sheriff) to identify $10 million in cuts and efficiencies in the county's criminal justice expenditures. Current expense reductions are also being identified in the Executive criminal justice agencies~' Efficiencies in this area will not affect public safety in King County. Public Health Projected $1 Million Reduction. The Public Health Department was asked to identify $1 million in targeted reductions from their current expense budget. They are currently reviewing core programs that rely on Current expense monies. \":). l Cities Affected by c~n Human Services Reductions ,. <~achment 2 CSD funding as % of Proposed reduction budget (italic =full agency County wide Subregion/other entity ffected ,..,yt:II"Y I VI ...""... ~_W~W'/ -...-- "'-_w -..----- -_..,-- Auburn Youth Resources: Rural Outreach 28,714 1.0% Auburn Auburn School District Bel/evue Family YMCA: Capital Project 100,000 Capital project Boys & Girls Club-Rainier Vista 43,488 5.0% Seattle Boulevard Park Catholic Community Svcs: legal Svcs low Income Tenants 9,096 3,0% Yes Child Care Resources: Carino Partnerships 41,719 1.0% Yes Child Care Resources: Child Care Referral & Svcs 187,204 6.0% Yes Chinese Info & Svc Ctr: Family & Youth Svcs 75,429 7.0% Seattle Yes Crisis Clinic: Community Info Line 60,000 3.0% Yes Crisis Clinic-Teen Link 34,286 2.0% Yes Eastside legal Assistance Program 24,211 8.0% Eastside cities Eastside Literacy 12,979 2.0% Bellevue Eastside cities Elderhealth Northwest: Elder Friends 17,143 47,0% Yes Evergreen Club - Korean Srs 25,911 61.0% Federal Way Food Lifeline 52,000 0.2% Shoreline Yes Fremont Public Assoc-Aging Services 99,000 82.0% Shoreline Friends of Youth: Sno Valley Youth Ctr 16,255 4 3.0% Carnation Sno-Valley Cities Issaquah Chamber of Commerce 25,000 not known ~ Issaquah KC Domestic Violence Coalition 25,000 25,0% Yes Kent Youth and Family Services: Housing Project Outreach 40,207 18,7% ' Kent King Co.

Background The King County Children and Family Commission (CFe) fund 21 community-based agencies to provide "best practice" or "promising practice" demonstration projects that service children and families throughout King County. The total CX budget for these programs is $2,179,065, The CFC funds projects in three specific program areas; Healthy Families/Early Childhood, Family Support, and Safe Communities. Al1 of the awards are granted through a competitive process and extend up to five years, The purpose of the awards is to create systemic change in the communities by providing money, teclmica1 assistance, and a strong evaluation component. All projects are required to generate a 25% cash match; projects are monitored annually, and foITIìally evaluated. The evaluation occurs during the last 18 months of the contract and measures the child/family, community, and system impact. All projects are considered "best practice" or "promising practice" and what is leamed from the evaluations is shared with other funders, communities, and providers, () I (J ,A small number of the CFC projects have been funded beyond the demonstration phase because of the significant impact and results that were documented through the evaluation. Programs funded beyond the demonstration phase are evaluated every 3.4 years to continual1y measure results and to assure the project has not been compromised or no longer effective. Methodology for Proposed Reductions In the process to identify potential programs for reduction the criteria used to measure each program area and specifc projects was the Human Service Framework Policies and the Recommendations Report for 2001-2003. .

Due to incorporations and annexations, King County government has seen its local tax base shrink dran1atically over the last ten years. We have no choice but to reduce programs and services to bring expenses in line with projected revenues. As a first step, I looked for internal efficiencies and reductíon of administrative costs through the reorganization of several executive departments and functions. This reorganiza6on, if approved by the King County Council, will save more than $13 mi11ion per year. I am also proposing a $] 2 million reduction in the 2002 law and justice budget, and reducuons in other service areas, Ìncluding an approximately $5 ¡ni1lion cut to human services. ~ The King County Framework Policies for Human Services adopted by the King County Council in 1999 provides policy guidance for determining funding priorities for human services. Given the magnitude of the shortfall, an across the board reduction to.hwnan seI\/ices would ha..{t been devastating to all of our programs and would have undennined our effectiveness in all of these areas. Inslead, after careful examination of our priority populations, market share, and other factors demi1ed in the Framework Policies, me decision was made to preserve core funding for several of our programs serying t4e most vulnerable and low-income populations - including youth and family service networks) aging programs, juvenile justice, domestic violence/sexual assault, and low-incorne! special needs housing. Fiscal realiùes force us to maIce difficult budget choices. Included in the programs slated for reductions are ones Ùlat I have personally championed over the years, including the King County Child Care Program. King County will continue funding for Child Care Resources, this area's child care resource and referral agency. We will continue to provide child care subsidies in 2001 for culTently enrolled eligible parents living in King COLmlY'S unincorporated areas, and continue to ensure that the approved child care sites used by children in our program meet standards of quality. However, as of January 1, 2002 we will no longer be able lO fund child care subsidies for residenlS of incorporated cities. KING COUNTY COURTHOUSE 516 THIRD AVENUE.

The attached document provides summary infonnatíon on the children from local cities currently emolled in the King County child care subsidy program, and the projected costs (0 each city to continue child care subsidy assistance to their residents, The estimates are based on the assumption of providing services to at least 125 children; costs to maintain the program would have to be negotiated separately if enrollment is significantly lower. If you are interested in pursuing Ihis option, please call Sadikifu Akina-James, Community Services Division Manager, King County Deparunem of Community and Human Services at (206) 296-7683. We would like to hear from you by September 12,2001 in order to proceed with our final cost analysis and notification process to atfected families. The Framework Policies define regional human services as a shared responsibility among state and local goverriments - including the cities of King County - and the private sector. Since I first announced my proposed reductions, T have convened several meetings wirh human service providers, suburban cities representatives, elected officials, and others to discuss how we can work together to address the fiscal realities of this year and the forecast we see for the future. It is my hope to build partnerships with local government, not just to address the child care funding issue, but to seek ~"ays to stabilize and sustain human services throughoUt King County. As a key partner in the broader human service community,I would welcome your assistance in these efforts. I appreciate your support and understanding of the difficult budget issues we face in King County. If you have any questions about the 2002 budget situation, or the child care program specifically, please don't hesitate to contact me. '~,~ ~. King County Executive cc: Barbara J.

This is phase II of the Sacajawea Sports Field Improvement Project. Phase I was the install of the synthetic field turf for youth soccer and football. The Federal Way Soccer Association would also be working together with the city as a partner, contributing funds toward the project. The field lights would add an additional field time for both practice and games. This is equivalent of adding another sports field to our recreational soccer need. Staff requested cost estimate from sports lighting vendors / manufacturers. Musco Lighting was the only vendor that could meet the specifications on product warranty. Musco is still the only lighting manufacturer, which has a volunteer installation program where groups can assist with the install of the product, and in return, contributes a credit for the labor provided. Musco is also the only manufacturer that provides a 1 O-year warranty on their light system. The other vendors offer a one-year warranty with their product.

Heritage Woods Neighborhood Park was constructed as part of the developer's open space requirement when developing the Heritage Woods sub-division. Heritage Woods Neighborhood Park is located at 28200 24th Place South (see attached map). n: Thursday, June 28th the Parks and Recreation Commission hosted an open house meeting with the residents of the Heritage Woods Home Owner's Association. The purpose of the meeting was to determine the preference ofresidents with regard to the design and construction of a children's play area in Heritage Woods Park. The residents voted on a variety of play elements, which they preferred for the play structure. Staff subsequently used this information to prepare the bid for playground equipment vendors.

The commission addressed this issue at its Thursday, September 6th meeting. The commission went in to executive session to discuss this matter as requested by Deputy City Attorney, Pat Richardson. After lengthy discussion, review of surrounding cities' policies, review of existing case law and information presented by Ms. Richardson, the commission voted unanimously to take no action to restrict the use of tobacco in City of Federal Way parks. Factors identified that influenced this decision included enforceability, constitutional rights issues and other potential legal challenges. The commission also expressed serious concerns regarding the amount of time staff would spend developing the ordinanèe changes and ultimately how much time field staff would spend trying to fairly enforce the regulation. Commission Recommendation: The Federal Way City Cout;lcil take no further action on this issue. ( '( \~ - J-- , , '\
