SKATE PARK UPDATE
Mr. Wilbrecht reported that staff have submitted preliminary construction drawings to the Development Review Committee
and have received feedback on the effects of code requirements on the design of the project. Staff is now in the process of
appraising the value of the structures at Steel Lake Park to determine if the project exceeds certain code thresholds. The value
of the skate park relative to the value of the property will determine if additional site improvements are needed to meet code
requirements. The appraisal will be completed in late summer. Anticipating the value of the skate park project will be greater
than 25% of the appraised value ofthe existing park structures, staff is considering construction/design alternatives and phasing
the construction of the project. Both phasing and reconfiguring the design will reduce the scope of the project. Staff will give
a status report to Council Committee on August 23.
GRAFFITI PROGRAM UPDATE
In 1994, the City began to address graffiti city-wide by implementing the Graffiti Removal Involvement Program. This
program was designed to work with local businesses and homeowners to educate and remove graffiti from their properties.
Resources were allocated to implement the program including a seasonal maintenance worker, a step van, a graffiti hotline,
equipment and supplies. In 1997, the program was downsized along with other maintenance programs. The department
continued to respond to calls and park graffiti, but discontinued the pro -active approach of looking for and removing graffiti
that had not been called in. The amount of graffiti that would-be removed was also limited. Several businesses were reporting
that the entire sides of their buildings needed to be repainted. Since 1997, the size of the graffiti has been limited to three square
feet or less. In 1999, Park Operations continues to remove graffiti from park locations, but no longer removes it from private
property. Property owners are advised to contact painters or private sector graffiti removers that are listed in the yellow pages.
2000 CDBG PROPOSED USE -OF FUNDS
Staff presented the Human Services Commission recommendations for 2000 CDBG proposed use of funds. The total amount
of funds available for the year 2000 is estimated at $606,881. Of this amount, $434,480 is available for capital projects
(including $91,032 targeted toward eligible economic development applications), $89,760 is available'for public service
programs and $82,641 is available for planning and administration. Seventeen CDBG applications were received. During
weekly meetings, the Commission reviewed each application and interviewed all applicants. A public hearing was held to
collect citizen comments on the preliminary recommendations. New for this year is the 15% set-aside for eligible economic
development projects. The Commission reviewed three eligible applications and recommended funding for two of the
applications, totaling $149,526. A contingency plan was completed in the event the funds are increased or decreased. Ms.
Kochmar had concerns regarding the International District project, as maintenance has yet to be defined, support from the local
businesses had not been received, and the land for the pocket park had not been donated. Mr. Hoover, Chair of the Human
Services Commission, responded to Ms. Kochmar that funding for this particular project is contingent upon the land being
donated. After a brief question and answer period, JEANNE BURBIDGE MOVED, JACK DOVEY SECONDED A

PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES & PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
Date: August 17, 1999 .
From: Jennifer Schroder, Director
Parks, Recreation and Cultur ervices Department
Subject: Field Usage Policies at Celebration Park
Background:
Prior to the May opening of Celebration Park, the City received requests from youth leagues to use
the ballfields. Per Council's request, the Parks and Recreation Commission has reviewed the use
policies for Celebration Park.
The Parks and Recreation Commission's Subcommittee for Policies and Procedures reviewed the
usage policies adopted as part of the revenue expectations and current field allocation for all youth
sports among the City's six park facilities.
Parks and Recreation Commissipn Recommendation
On August 5, 1999, the Parks and Recreation Commission moved to approve the committee's five
recommendations for field use and fee policies at Celebration Park as follows:
1. Celebration Park be treated as a stand-alone entity for budgeting objectives. All operating
costs and revenues generated by the park as a result of the fees and usage should be reported
in a separate cost/expense report, designated exclusively for Celebration Park.
By keeping all costs and revenue associated with the park account, the City will be able to
better track expenses and revenues associated with the park. Maintaining top quality
facilities, as constructed, will ensure an attractive and well-managed facility. .
2. Continue the policy to allow scheduling of tournaments for 1999 and 2000. Tournaments
that have been scheduled for the past five years consecutively whose directors and organizers
are in good standing may be considered to have the first option of scheduling tournaments
at Celebration Park.
3. Continue a usage and fee schedule to reflect the needs of the community while keeping in
mind the world class tournament quality of Celebration Park and its maintenance needs. The
usage and fee schedule needs to be reviewed annually to ensure that the level of maintenance
is balanced with usage schedules (see Attachment A).
Parks, Recreation, Human Services & Public Safety Council Committee Page Two
August 17, 1999
4. The Celebration Park Policies and Procedures Subcommittee will continue to review other
revenue opportunities and future park needs, specifically advertising, signage, rental for large
community or special events and additional park amenities.
5. Schedule youth use of the batting fields in March and April. Youth for this policy include
the following youth organizations in the Federal Way area (i.e., within the city limits or the
Federal Way School District): Federal Way National Little League, Federal Way Girls Fast
Pitch, Federal Way American Little League, and Steel Lake Little League.
The age group using the batting fields must play in a division, which uses a 65 -foot or
shorter base length.
Hours of use will be Monday through Friday, 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in March and Monday
through Thursday, 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in April. Fields will not be used on Fridays in
April to make them available for tournament use. City shall conduct regular and periodic
inspections of field conditions to ensure world class tournament quality fields.
Fields will not be used on weekends to reduce early spring overuse.
No mounds will be installed.
The City of Federal Way staff will do all field prep work. Only City of Federal Way
equipment will be used to maintain the fields.
Restrooms will be open.
Concession services may be offered, but not guaranteed.
Use of lights will be charged at a rate that will pay for direct costs of energy consumption.
The hourly charge will be established on an annual basis.
Council Committee Recommendation
Motion to approve the Parks and Recreation Commission's five recommendations for field and use
policies at Celebration Park.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
CITY COUNCIL
PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES & PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
Date: August 23, 1999
From: Derek Matheson, Assistant to the City Manage
Subject: 2000 Legislative Agenda and Position Paper
Background:
Attached is a draft copy of the CityP s Legislative Agenda and Position Paper for the 2000 Legislative
Session. The document has been revised from last year to address current issues such as housing
capacity and buildable lands, gambling and social card rooms, district and municipal judges, electronic
commerce, and other issues.
Staff is presenting the document to all Council Committees for feedback and will forward it, along
with possible amendments, to the full Council on September 21. Sections of this document
specifically pertaining to the Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Committee include
Land Use and Community Development (Social and Human Services subsection), Law and Justice,
and Public Works, Parks, and Environment.
Committee Recommendation:
None. Information and feedback only.
City of Federal Way
Legi$lative Agenda and Position Paper
1999 2000 Legislative Session
General Policy
The City ofFederal Way supportslegislative efforts to encourage cost-effective regional policy planning and
delivery of government services, cod by local program implementation These efforts must be focused on
eliminating duplicate services and p rving local control over service delivery. The City also supports legislation
which enhances local flexibility to address issues of local concern. The City opposes legislation which mandates
increased local costs or which results in an inappropriate diminution of local authority over local affairs.
General Local Government
Home Rule
The City of Federal Way strongly "pports the adoption of a constitutional home rule amendment which would
guarantee decision-making authority for local matters at the local level. The City also urges the Legislature to
refrain from enacting legislation that adversely impacts the concept of local self-government or restricts the ability
of cities and towns to exercise existing power.
Mandates
All local governments have been impacted by the elimination and reduction of various federal domestic aid
programs. Changes at the state level have also affected local government revenue options. Equally important are
the growing number of mandates passed from the federal and state governments to local governments, mandates
which are not accompanied by additional resources. Delivering public services requires a strong state -local
partnership, and local revenue needs must be recognized when new programs are enacted or if the state revenue
system is restructured.
As directed by Initiative 62 (RCW 43.135.060), Federal Way strongly urges the Legislature to cease imposition
of additional financial or operating burdens on cities unless such mandates are compelled by an overriding state
interest and are accompanied by financial resources to accommodate the costs of compliance.
Public Records
Federal Way firmly supports the right of the public to have access to the records and operations of local
government. The City -supports legislation to define the calculation of cost recovery fees for records retrieval from
municipal electronic information systems.
Advisory Boards
Adopted 9/99
Finance and Economic Development
State Fiscal Policy
Motor Vehicle Excise Tax
Federal Way opposes any reduction or redirection of the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) that restricts or
lessens MVET support for local programs unless equal revenues that accommodate inflation are substituted
Current MVET-funded programs include sales tax equalization, public health, criminal justice, theMunicipal
Research and Services Center (MRSC), and transit and transportation funding for cities.
AmaWod 9/99
Electronic Commerce
Federal Way supports efforts to develop a taxation system for electronic commerce that ensures a level playing
field for electronic and non -electronic businesses.
Adopted 9/99
State Tax Roll Back/Expenditure Limitation Efforts
Federal. Way receives significant support from state -collected, locally -shared revenues. As such, the City
opposes efforts to alter state fiscal operations unless they enhance City receives.
Sales Tax Non -Remittance Penalties
The City supports allocating sales tax non -remittance penalties to all affected iurisdictions using the same
proportional allocation system that is used for distribution of regular sales tax collections.
Adopted 9/99
Continuation of Grant Programs
Federal Way opposes any erosion in its financing sources and strongly encourages the Legislature to maintain
Criminal Justice Funding and other grant programs which support local program operation.
Local Finance
Sales Tax Exemption for Parks and Cultural Arts Facilities Construction
Labor costs for the construction of road, street, and trails projects are currently exempt from state and local
option sales taxes. Federal Way supports extending this exemption to all capital improvement projects.
Tax Increment Financing -
Tax increment financing allows cities to pay for the infrastructure costs related to development or
redevelopment projects by earmarking the tax revenues attributable to the increase in tax receipts over current
receipts in the apportionment district The tax increment would be dedicated to paying the, debt service on
the bonds issued After the bonds have been retired, the tax increment would be distributed in the same
manner as other non increment property taxes. The overriding benefit of tax increment financing districts
would be to facilitate quality and comprehensive development, and redevelopment ofourcommunity. Federal
Way thus supports efforts to amend the state constitution as necessary to accomplish a tax incrementfinancing
program.
VotedExcess Levy for Capital Improvement Bonds
Municipalities should be authorized to seek voter approval for an excess property tax levy to fund capital
facilities projects. The levy could be used for projects on a pay as you go basis or for debt service on bonds.
The levy would not be tied to one project, but could be used to realize any of the projects in the adopted
facilities plan. The bonds would be unlimited general obligations of the City. Voter approval would be by
simple majority. Benefits of this option include the development of a comprehensive community tax policy
to deal with its infrastructure needs using a multi-year business plan approach.
Voter Registration Maintenance Costs
State law presently allows counties to charge cities to maintain voter registration records. This law, passed
in 1987, when the counties took over voter registration from the cities, did not include a sunset provision to
eliminate the charge when the transition was complete. Furthermore, these charges are not uniform, ranging
from $.22 to $ 1.55 pervoter. St w does seta $.30 maximum charge for smaller cities, but does not specify
a charge for larger cities. Kin County collects over $1 million in voter maintenance fees each year, which
should more than cover the costt minor data entry changes. Federal Way supports legislative changes which
would standardize this charge m a manner which accurately reflects the cost of maintaining voter records.
Economic Development
Economic Development Funding Sources
Federal Way supports new funding sources for local economic development, accompanied by significant
latitude in the use of funds to allow cities to meet diverse local economic development needs.
Economic Development Partnerships
Federal Way supports government partnerships with the private sector for the purposes of promoting quality
governmental services and economic vitality.
Personnel and Labor Relations
Civil Service Reform
Federal Way supports civil service in for police officers that allows cities to streamline hiring processes,
diversify workforces, and recruit, r terminate and reward employees.
Police and Fire Arbitration
Federal Way supports legislation would make mandate that arbitrators in binding interest arbitration with
police and fire personnel to consider the following factors in malting an award: a) the city's financial ability to
meet the costs of the contract, giving, due consideration and weight to other competing city services and priorities
as determined by the City Council; b) local labor market conditions, c) internal equity with other city employees,
and d) efforts by new organization to move away from traditional methods of compensation in favor of innovative
compensation strategies (such as incentive pay).
Limit Liability for Reference Checks
The City supports legislation that would provide local governments with immunity from civil liability for
disclosing information about an employee's job performance during a reference check.
Prevailing Wage
The City of Federal Way supports legislation to clarify that maintenance activities performed by contract, like
those performed byregular employees, are exempt from prevailing wage requirements. Current law creates a
disincentive for the use of contracting by local government entities.
Land Use and Community Develoumentt
Special Purpose Districts
Assumption of Special Purpose Districts
The existence of multiple urban service providers inside urbanized areas is inconsistent with the values of the
Growth Management Act, whicstates that cities are the appropriate providers of urban services in these
areas. The City therefore supports legislation which sintpliftes and cim i continued legislative efforts to
simplify and clarify the circumstances under which a city may dissolve and assume jurisdictioa-a the
functions of a special purpose district, and opposes any legislation that would efforts to diminish that authority
of cities — especially withinIcity Umits and potential annexation areas. .

Capital Facilities Planning
Federal Way supports Legislative measures to ensure that special purpose districts and ports are required to
prepare capital facilities plans on a regular basis that are consistent with the planning done by cities and
counties.
Growth Management
Growth Management Act
Federal Way endorses the Growth Management Act (GMA) as an essential and responsible planning tool.
However, the Act creates challenges for state, county and cities. To meet these challenges, the Legislature
must continue to monitor the efforts of local agencies, and address any necessary additional refinements to
the Act in an effective and timely manner. Such refinements may include clarification of the role and
responsibilities of the state in developing policies and capital plans in conformance with locally adopted
comprehensive plans, assuring the adequacy of funding sources to provide adequate infrastructure, urban
services, housing and employment opportunities within urban growth areas. The Legislature must also act to
provide sufficient time, technical and financial resources to cities completing growth management planning.
Land Use Decisions and Permitting
Federal Way supports legislation that further defines, coordinates, simplifies and streamlines land use
decisions and permitting under the GMA as well as under the State Environmental Policy Act and the
Shorelines Management Act. Such legislation should balance the benefits of statewide uniformity with the
need for local communities to govern themselves.
Housing Targets/Buildable Lands
Federal Way strongly opposes efforts to break GMA twenty-year housing targets into smaller time intervals,
as well as efforts to hold cities responsible for housing market performance rather than the content of their
comprehensive plans. The City also opposes the imposition of additional reporting requirements under the
buildable lands review and evaluation program that are not accompanied by requisite funding.
Adoptod 9/99
Growth Management Hearings Boards
Federal Way supports legislation recognizing the need for local flexibility in effectively implementing the
GMA and requiring Growth Management Hearings Boards to defer to local decisions, policies and processes
implementing the goals of the GMA when these actions are otherwise consistent with the GMA.
Boundary Review Boards
The City supports elimination of Boundary Review Boards. These non -elected boards have been rendered
obsolete by Potential Annexation Area (PAA) planning under the GMA
Shorelines Management Act
The City supports eliminafing the roqufiemont that local governments pmkwe separate shorelines
managementplaas continued efforts to integrate shoreline management planning into local comprehensive
plans and eliminate the requirement for separate shoreline master plans.
Separate state -level shoreline use permits should also be eliminated in favor
of permits issued by cities in accordance with approved eomprchcnsive plans.
Amended 9/99
GMA Impact Fees
Federal Way supports continued local authority to collect GMA-based impact fees at the time a building
vermit is issued.
Adopted 9/99
Technical Amendments to Comprehensive Plans
Federal Way supports legislation authorizing GMA-planning cities to adopt technical amendments to their
GMA plans and regulations more than once a year.
Annexation Law
Federal Way supports current state law regarding annexations. The City also supports retention of city
authority to review the impacts of an annexation on the overall operation of the City and to make the final
determination regarding acceptance of petitions for annexation. The City supports legislation that would
reduce boundary adjustment ments, clarify'franchise relationships between trash and garbage haulers,
expedite transfer of property from the County to the City, and provide direction for land use and
permitting functions in newly, exed areas.
Land Use Dispute Resolution
Federal Way also supports practical solutions to private property disputes that address specific concerns ofproperty
owners, including regulatory reform if necessary. These solutions should not alter the Constitutional definition
of takings, place an undue financial burden on taxpayers, or diminish local governments' ability to protect the
public health, safety and welfare of their communities.
Forest Permits
The Department of Natural Resources is presently authorized to issue Class II and Class III Forest Practice
Permits, which allow logging witht review by municipal authorities within urbanized areas contained within
city limits or designated urban groboundaries. Class IV permits, however, do require municipal authority
review. The past practice of W* uint these permits has precluded city governments from providing appropriate
controls to deal with the erosion and sedimentation in those permitted areas. As well, the uncontrolled logging
of parcels within an urban area has precluded local government from providing regulations to help ensure
that the property properly transitions into appropriate urban development.
Therefore, Federal Way supports state legislative efforts to require that all Forest Practice Permits issued within
the city limits or within the designated urban growth boundary be subject to the same local government review
process now provided in the consideration and issuance of Class IV Forest Practice Permits. Alternatively, cities
should be allowed to adopt and enforce land clearing, significant tree protection and related issues for Class II and
III forest permits. i -
Social and Human Services
Support for Human Services
Federal Way supports legislative action that will maintain support for human service programs including those
which may be delegated to the state from the Federal Government. Such legislative action should ensure
appropriate local government input into development of block grant dispersal regulations or procedures and into
development of any new processes to assist or support low-income, high -need populations.
Affordable Housing
Federal Way supports efforts to identify a dedicated funding source for affordable housing which is acceptable to
developers, maltors, and state and local government.
Collaboration with School Districts
Federal Way supports efforts by the Mate to provide incentives to cities and school districts to work collaboratively
in addressing local youth issues. Such collaboration should go beyond historical roles of each local agency.
Local Public Health
Contractual Funding
Federal Way opposes efforts to reestablish contractual funding arrangements for public health services.
Boards of Public Health
Federal Way supports local government representation on County boards of public health.
Youth Issues
Funding of Youth Programs
Federal Way supports legislation improving funding to local governments for initiating and expanding youth
services, especially programs that achieve reductions in youth violence.
Child Care
Federal Way support budget provisions to enhance the Department of Social and Health Services' (DSHS)
ability to enforce its day cane licensing requirements, to improve support services for daycare providers, and
to ensure the accessibility to child care for all citizens. In addition, the City will cardully monitor legislation
clarifying its role in regulating the siting and operation of daycare facilities.
Child Abuse
Federal Way supports funding for programs designed to prevent child abusetneglect.
Law and Justice
Funding Issues
Drug Seizure Funds
Federal Way supports efforts to enhance the ease with which cities can apply for and receive drug seizure
funds and particularly supports the expansion of the definition of what those funds can be expended upon to
include all law enforcement functions.
DUI Cost Recovery
The City supports continued legislation to strengthen DUI laws. Federal Way also supports legislation to allow
recovery of necessary public expenses, including detention costs, which result from incidents involving
impaired driving convictions.
Costs of Incarceration
Federal Way supports legislation that would do away with the current limit of S50 per day thatcan be assessed
as jail costs against a person convicted of a misdemeanor. The city would support legislation that would allow
the city to impose a calculated amount representing the city's actual costs of incarcerating the individual.
High Crime Law Enforcement Grants
Federal Way supports changing the state's criteria for awarding High Crime Law Enforcement Grants.
Current grant practices provide year-to-year grant funding to cities that have 125% of the state average for
eight specific crimes, but immediately terminate funding once the crime level drops below the 125%
threshold. This practice creates a disincentive for innovative policing and punishes successful police
departments. Funding decisions should instead be based upon a city's policing strategies and its crime rate
over a longer period of time, such as five years.
District and Municipal Courts
District Court Judges
Federal Way supports legislation allowing counties to determine the appropriate number of district court
fudges within their iurisdictions.
Adopted 9/99
Municipal Court Judges
Municipal Court Commissioners
Court Revenues
Federal Way opposes any effort o increase the percentage of district and municipal court revenues that must
be remitted to the state.
Adopted 9/'99
Gambling. LlauorControl. andAdulltErtertainment
Gambling Establishments i
The City supports giving local Ommments the authority to regulate the siting of gambling establishments
and enact moratoriums on the acceptance of applications for gambling establishments. The City also supports
legislation allowing the state Gambling Commission to limit the number of licenses it avoroves for a given
geographic area.
Adopted 9/99
Card Room and Liquor Licenses
Federal Way strongly supports arty efforts to make the commercial liquor license and house -banked card room
license application processes more accessible to the public. A public hearing process would improve access
by the community and would encourage greater input and comment from all interested parties. In addition,
liquor license applications should be make made available for public inspection and subsequent written
comment at the local government level '..— "otdd need to place a pdbHc notice in paper advettising
Amended 9/99
Liquor Control Board
The state should conduct a performance evaluation/audit of the liquor control board as it relates to its mission
of regulating liquor for the sake of our state's communities. The Legislature should restructurrheaffirm
Liquor Control Board as mandated by audit.
Adult Entertainment
The City supports model ordinance legislation for adult entertainment consistent with the provisions of
Federal Way's adult entertainment ordinance which have been sustained through numerous court appeals.
Adult Retail
Federal Way supports authorizinlg local governments to minimize the negative secondary impacts of adult
retail establishments on their communities by adopting strict requirements for location and hours ofoperation.
Secondary impacts have been documented by a number of studies and include increased criminal value,
diminished neighborhood character, and downward pressure on property values.
Law Enforcement Issues
Local Law Enforcement Authority
Federal Way opposes legislation and/or other efforts to remove the authority of municipalities to provide local
law enforcement services, including special services, regardless of the potential for service contracting. The
City also opposes actions or legislation which would transfer incarceration responsibilities from the state or
county to municipalities without additional funding.
Police Officer Jurisdiction
As a part of the state's certification of police officers, make officers able to enforce the state's laws anywhere
in the state. This would reduce the liability for cities with officers who assist with incidents outside the city's
borders. As it stands now, jurisdictions must exchange letters giving consent to officers to enforce law outside
of their jurisdictions.
Police Officer Privac
Federal Way supports efforts to protect the identities of law enforcement personnel by eliminating public
disclosure reauirements for officer names and addresses. allowi-m private entities such as credit agencies to
withhold officer names and addresses. and allowing officers to register personal vehicles at their places of
employment.
Adopted 9/99
Radar Testimony
Current state law requires law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to utilize the testimony of expert
witnesses, when the defense specifically requests said witness, to introduce the speed readings of radar
detectiondevices. TheNationalHighwayTrafficSafety Administrationhasestablishedminimumperformance
specifications for speed measuring devices that create reliability sufficient to justify their acceptance. Many
traffic infractions were decriminalized to create a uniform and expeditious system for adjudication, yet these
expert testimony requirements have cost the City thousands of dollars each year, and causes unnecessary
dismissals and delays.
Federal Way supports legislation allowing for the admission in court of the readings of speed measuring
devices without the need for additional expert testimony if the device satisfies specific requirements
established by the Legislature. Federal Way would also support alternative legislation which would allow the
City to impose the cost of witness fees in cases where the infraction is found to have been committed.
Juvenile Issues
Parental Accountability
Federal Way supports legislation which makes parents more accountable for their juvenile offender children.
Disposition Standards for Juvenile Offenders
Federal Way supports legislation revising the current juvenile disposition standards to provide stronger
sanctions for chronic, misdemeanor behavior for juvenile offenders and to permit the court greater discretion
to impose detention or some form of secure treatment in cases of juvenile offenders who have prior criminal
history.
Emergency Communications
Federal Way opposes the creation of a E-311 non -emergency communications system. Rather, efforts should be
made to further educate the community about the use of the existing E-911 system and existing 7 -digit non-
emergency lines.
Empty Chair Defense -
Federal Way supports legislative action related to tort reform to clarify that the defendant should not be required
to mandatorily join all potential "at fault" entities into litigation, or have to risk losing the ability to apportion fault
to the third party(s). Any move to the contrary would inappropriately shift the burden of proof from the plaintiff
to the defendant in proving fault.
Public Works. Parks, and Environment
Transportation Issues
Transportation Funding Reform
Federal Way supports continued reform of state funding for transportation to include a broad range of funding
solutions able to address traffic congestion, growth and High Capacity Transit alternatives. Such reform
should seek funding sources, v�hich will be dedicated to major local transportation projects, keep up with
inflation, and will provide the oily with local option revenue authority for the expansion, maintenance and
operation of local transportation systems.
Public Works Trust Fund
The Public Works Trust Fund benefits many local governments with dependable, long term funding
for repair and reconstruction local public works systems. The Legislature is now required to approve an
annual list of projects, but has never deleted a project recommended by the Public Works Board. Federal Way
supports continued allocation of funds to the PWTF and supports elimination of the efiminatinrthe
Legislative approval requirement Expediting the
approval process would facilitate the construction of these projects by the summer construction season.
Amended 9/99
Bidding Procedures and Limits
Federal Way supports efforts toi streamline state laws and regulations governing the bidding process, giving
cities greater flexibility in bidding procedures and limits This could include raising the ceiling for small
works roster projects from S10Q,000 to $1,000,000 to reduce the costly bid process.
Public Works Project Definition
The City supports defining small public works projects as those costing less than $ 100,000 and exempting
such projects from the state's Public Works Projects definition. The current definition of small public works
projects is easily confused and is applied inconsistently across different local jurisdictions.
Transportation Improvement Plan
Federal Way encourages efforts to secure state support for City priority transportation projects as outlined in
the City's 1999-2664 2000-2005 Transportation Improvement Plan.
Amended 9/99
Water Resources
Salmon Issues
State initiatives related to salen habitats should contain local components that recognize the vast diversity
of conditions across the state. t addition, all state initiatives and processes related to salmon should include
meaningful input from local government
Water Resource Managemen
Addressing water resource ma Lgeinent issues will require increased intergovernmental coordination among
local and regional government and the state Federal Way supports continued state financial assistance for
water supply, wastewater ement, groundwater protection, and storm and surface water facilities and
programs. These programs especially important in complying with state and federal water quality
standards (NPDES, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System). The City also supports retention of
the authority of local water districts to manage their assets, participating in regional planning as appropriate,
to provide and protea for the current and future water needs of their customers.
Flood Damage Reduction
Federal Way contains a number of flood prone areas, both developed and undeveloped which require
specialized planning. Recent proposed flood damage reduction legislation was flawed, partially due to the fact
that is was based on an overall floodway approach, which does not consider all flood prone areas in the state.
The City supports comprehensive flood damage prevention planning accomplished at the local level as a
partnership among impacted cities, the county, state and affected area interests. Each flood prone area is
unique and should be planned for accordingly. Locally developed and adopted flood damage protection plans
must seek to establish a balance between the need for appropriately designed growth and the need to reduce
further flood damage.
Parks and Open Space
Federal Way encourages efforts to secure state support for Eity priority parks and open space projects as outlined
in local plans. This support could include
legislation which -would to exempt public park and public cultural arts facility construction from state and local
option sales taxes.
Amended 9/99
Funding of county -wide recycling programs
Federal Way opposes efforts to fund countywide solid waste by allowing counties to collect a fee directly from
customers of cityfranchisers. Cities are the appropriate collectors of these fees through city -negotiated solid waste
franchise agreements.
Energy and Telecommunications
Telecommunications
Federal Way continues to strongly oppose legislation which would preempt local authority over such items as pole
attachments, cellular tower siting, cable refranchising, and telecommunications charges.
Federal Way supports legislation -that continued Legislative efforts to protects the right of local governments to
negotiate right-of-way agreements and exercise other controls on the operation of telecommunication business in
the public rights of way.
Amended 9/'99
Utility Facility Relocation
Federal Way supports efforts to affirm the duty of private utilities to include bearing the cost of relocating their
facilities within city rights-of-way when requested by a city.
Tax Collections by Out -of -State Providers
State law should require out-of-state electricity providers to collect state and local utility taxes on services provided
to customers within the State of Washington.
Electric Industry Regulation
Federal Way supports energy utility regulation based on the following principles: a) Local governments should
retain the authority to manage industry facilities within the public right of way and the authority to tax the utility
providers, b) Electricity service should be available to customers at prices that are reasonable and affordable, c)
A non -economic bypass and the inappropriate shifting of costs of the electric system between or among customers
do not constitute fair and efficient competition. Customers of continuing monopoly service should benefit, at least,
not be harmed, from choices made by customers with access to competitive options, d) The long-term safety,
integrity, reliability and quality of the bulk electric system and retail electricity service should not bejeopardized,
e) Consumers should be afforded a broad range of choice in electricity service and pricing options, f) Development
of competitive electricity markets should not undermine environmental protection, energy efficiency, resource
diversity and technological innovation, and g) the public should maintain a voice in the industry's regulatory
process and the interests of customers should continue to be balanced with the opportunity for shareholders to earn
fair returns.

PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
August 9, 1999 Meeting
Date: August 2, 1999
From: Londi Lindell, City Atto
Subject: Controlling Jail Costs - Fife Jail Option
Background: The City of Fife is considering constructing a 500 bed low to medium security jail
facility on property already owned by the City of Fife. Fife has put out a Request for Proposal to
Construct, Furnish and Operate a Municipal Jail, a copy of which is attached for your review.
The construction of the Fife jail may provide the City of Federal Way with an opportunity to obtain
approximately 100 beds per day at a much lower cost than we currently pay King County. We pay
King County a misdemeanor booking fee of $121.58 plus a daily maintenance fee of $63.54. At this
time, the City of Fife has advised that it will not have a booking fee and its maintenance fee would
be less than the daily fee charged by King County. The Fife jail will also have video arraignment
which would further lessen the City's costs.
The purpose of this memorandums is simply to notify the Council that staff is in discussions with
police and court staff from the City of Fife regarding this option. Any interlocal agreement
memorializing such an arrangement will come back to this Committee and to the full City Council
for its review and consideration.

Item 5E
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
CITY COUNCIL
PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES & PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
Date: August 17, 1999
From: Jennifer Schroder, Director
Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department
Subject: Canoe Club/Amendment to Ordinance No. 91-82
Background:
The Kikaha 0 Ke Kai Canoe Club of Federal Way is a member of the Pacific Northwest/Oregon
Racing Canoe Association, which is a 501-C associate of the International Polynesian Canoe
Federation. The LPCF organizes the World Sprints and Pacific games competitions.
The club has been in existence for two years. Membership is comprised of youth and adults. Teams
from both age groups currently practice at Steel Lake.
During the summer of 1998, the City received several complaints about canoe club activities from
citizens living on the lake. Most of the complaints revolved around three issues. The canoes were
traveling too fast on the lake, canoes were often too close to docks, and the activity was occasionally
loud. Staff reviewed Ordinance No. 91-82 and determined that it specifically prohibited certain
activities. The ordinance states "...any trials or competition for speed, endurance or hill climbing
involving any vehicle, boat, aircraft or animal in any park" is prohibited.
The Canoe Club came to the Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Council
Committee on November 23, 1998, requesting the City reconsider the park ordinance that prohibits
"...any trials or competitions for speed, endurance, or hill climbing involving any vehicle, boat,
aircraft or animal in any park."
Council asked that staff review the ordinance, gather information on the needs of the Canoe Club
and review impacts to Steel lake Park and Steel Lake.
On July 19, 1999, the Parks and Recreation Commission held a public meeting at Truman High
School. The purpose of the meeting was to take public comment on the recommendation to change
Ordinance No. 91-82, Section 29 Trials and Competitions. Approximately 100 citizens were in
attendance.
On August 5, the Parks and Recreation Commission invited the Canoe Club to hold a demonstration
at Steel Lake Park prior to their regular meeting. The Canoe Club demonstrated the stopping ability
of the canoe. In addition, commissioners and the public were given the opportunity to experience
the canoe first-hand.
Parks, Recreation, Human Services & Public Safety Council Committee Page Two
August 17, 1999
Parks and Recreation Recommendation
At their August 5 meeting, the Commission moved to recommend to Council that Ordinance No.
91-82 be amended to approve the Canoe Club's authorization to hold trials/competitions at Steel
Lake. The Commission further requested that -staff work with the City Attorney to draft an
amendment and policy to review requests for use of park facilities for trials/competitions on a case-
by-case basis. The Parks and Recreation Commission will review a draft amendment and
administrative policy for implementation at their September 2 meeting.
