Subject:
1999 Community Development Block Grant Funding, Contingency Plan
Backqround
On September 1, 1998, the City Council took action on the 1999 Community Development Block
Grant funding for the Public Service, Capital, and Planning and Administration projects. In addition
to the funding recommendations, the City is required to submit a Contingency Plan. The current
funding recommendations for $651,596 are based on an estimate from the Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG allocation amounts will be finalized when the federal
budget is adopted in late 1998 or early 1999. The purpose of the Contingency Plan is to identify the
changes the City would make to the 1999 CDBG funding recommendations, should the final 1999
allocation from HUD be less or greater than the current estimates.
The Parks, Recreation, Public Safety and Human Services (PRPSHS) Council Committee reviewed
the Contingency Plan recommended by the Human Services Commission and forwarded the Plan
to the full City Council for approval, during the review of the CDBG recommendations. However,
the full City Council did not take action on the Contingency Plan. In addition, changes need to be
made to the Contingency Plan to reflect changes that have been made since the Plan was
developed.
Staff is seeking the Council Committee's review of the Plan and recommendation to take to the full
City Council at the September 15, 1998 meeting. Attachments to this package include the
Contingency Plan with proposed revisions, and the 1999 CDBG Funding Plan.
Council Action Needed
The City is required to submit the Contingency Plan to the King County CDBG Consortium by
October 1, 1998, with the 1999 CDBG funding plan and related materials. In order to meet this
deadline, Council action is required in the following areas:
1 )
Provide direction on how to spend additional capital project funds should they become
available, since that portion of the Plan is now outdated;
2)
Approve the Plan for submittal to the King County Consortium.
Chanç,es Needed to the Plan
In the section that describes how additional funds would be allocated to capital projects, the original
wording of the Plan stated that additional funds would be allocated to the Habitat for Humanity of
South King County project up to the requested level, and to the Mental Health Housing Foundation
up to the requested level. Since the Plan was developed by the Human Services Commission, the
City received additional capital funds, which were allocated to these projects. The Habitat for
Humanity of South King County project has been funded to the requested level of $40,000. The
Mental Health Housing Foundation recently reduced their request level from $125,000 to $40,000,
and the Foundation was funded at $40,000. Since these projects have both been funded at the
_.- r.eqlle5ted-level,.the Contingency Plan now provides no direction for where additional funds should
be allocated.
Staff recommends dividing any additional funds equally among the three' projects that are now
partially funded, up to the request amount. These projects are outlined below.
Capital Project Request Recommendation Balance
Greater Federal Way Chamber
of Commerce $225,000 $99,283 $125,717
Ruth Dykeman Children's Center $ 25,000 $ 5,000 $ 20,000
Valley Cities Counseling
& ConsultatioÏ1 $ 75,000 $ 10,000 $ 65,000
Total $325,000 $114,283 $210,717
The Contingency Plan is attached, with the changes recommended by staff noted. The strikeout
sections are the recommended deletions and the double underlined portions are the recommended
additions to the Plan.
Greg Moore will be at your September 14 meeting to present the Contingency Plan. If you have any
questions before that meeting, please call me at (253) 661-4039.
Committee Recommendation:
1.
Approve the revised 1999 Community Development Block Grant Contingency Plan, as
recommended by staff. Forward to the full City Council for approval on September 15, 1998.
2.
Approve the revised 1999 Community Development Block Grant Contingency Plan, with the
modifications made by the Council Committee. Forward to the full City Council for approval
on September 15, 1998.

APPROVAL OF AUGUST 10. 1998 SUMMARY
LINDA KOCHMAR MOVED, JEANNE BURBIDGE SECONDED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AUGUST
101998 SUMMARY AS WRITTEN. MOTION PASSED.
BUSINESS ITEMS
LAKE KILLARNEY PARK DEVELOPMENT BID AWARD
The Lake Killarney Park Development project was re-bid on August 3. Five bids were received on August 19. The
project is funded by the 1989 King County Open Space Program, with a total budget of $272,000. This amount funds
both the architectural/engineering and construction costs of the project. Staff recommended awarding the bid to Golf
Landscaping, Inc. in the amount of $226,431 plus a project contingency of $20,850 for a total project budget of
$247,281. Deleting alternate number one, the boardwalk, resulted in Golf Landscaping being the lowest responsible,
responsive bid. LINDA KOCHMAR MOVED, JEANNE BURBIDGE SECONDED A MOTION TO
RECOMMEND AWARDING THE LAKE KILLARNEY PARK DEVELOPMENT BID TO GOLF
LANDSCAPING, INC., THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE, RESPONSIVE BIDDER IN THE AMOUNT OF
$226,431, APPROVING A TEN PERCENT CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY OF $20,850 FOR A TOTAL
PROJECT AMOUNT OF $247,281 AND FORWARDING TO FULL COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. MOTION
PASSED.
WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICA nONS FACILITY AT SACAJAWEA PARK
Mr. Dovey excused himselffrom discussion of this item due to a conflict of interest. US West Wireless is requesting
approval to install a cellular antenna facility at SACAJAWEA Park. The proposal includes expanding the existing
concession building to house the ground equipment and replacing the existing light pole with a new pole. The proposal
would not change the park's current use. JEANNE BURBIDGE MOVED, LINDA KOCHMAR SECONDED A

MOTION TO DIRECT STAFF TO BEGIN NEGOTIATION FOR A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH US WEST
WIRELESS FOR A TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITY AT SACAJAWEA PARK. MOTION PASSED.
POLICE SERVICES AT HIGH SCHOOLS
Mr. Wood reported that over the last two and a half years, there have been periodic discussions with the School District
regarding school security. Mr. Wood is proposing an interlocal agreement with the School District to provide a police
officer at Decatur High School and one at Federal Way High School for the present salary and benefit cost of the two
campus security positions now vacant beginning September 1, 1998. This program would be on a trial basis, lasting
the first semester of school. The School District would reimburse the City $32,000 per officer per year. The estimated
five month trial basis would give time for the City and School District to discuss a longer time period, assess whether
it is productive with the students, and also allows the City Council to receive community feedback regarding this
relationship. Mr. Wood noted the importance of interaction and communication with students. It would leave the Police
Department short two officers; however, officers already spend time at the schools addressing criminal issues. Ms.
Gates would like to see if there is another way to work with the School District in securing grants for safety in schools.
LINDA KOCHMAR MOVED, JEANNE BURBIDGE SECONDED A MOTION TO APPROVE
NEGOTIATIONS TO ENTER INTO AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT UNTIL THE END OF THE FIRST
SEMESTER wITH THE FEDERAL WAY SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR POLICE SERVICES, AND FORWARD
TO THE FULL COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 1 FOR DISCUSSION AS A WHOLE. MOTION PASSED.
LEGISLATIVE AGENDA AND POSITION PAPER
Mr. Matheson asked committee members for their comments on the previously distributed Legislative Agenda and
Position Paper. Mr. Dovey asked that the words "voter-approved" be removed from the Local Finance section, "Sales
Tax Exemption for Parks and Cultural Arts Facilities Construction."
BP A TRAIL PHASE III UPDATE
Mr. Jainga reported that he is working with the design team for the BP A Trail Phase III, which consists of the consultant,
the Parks Department and Public Works Department. Two proposals will be presented to the committee in September.
1999 CDBG RECOMMENDATIONS
Public Forum:
Dini Duclos, Executive Director, South King County Multi-Service Center, spoke to low income housing as a regional
issue. For human service agencies, to receive King County, state or private money, funding from individual cities is
looked at before they will consider funding. The SKCMSC housing is not in Federal Way, but is available to Federal
Way residents, or perhaps some of the residents will have jobs in Federal Way. Ms. Duclos urged the committee to
continue their leadership by recognizing that housing is a regional issue.
Michael Pollowitz, Executive Director, Parkway View Homes: Parkview Group Homes provides housing to individuals
with developmental disabilities. They are requesting $22,500 for a three bedroom home. The rent is set at $ 120/month.
Support services have been committed on a 24 hour/week basis on site for 50 years. King County Housing has awarded
$75,000 in Housing Opportunity funding for this project with a requirement that the city where the housing is to be
located (in this case Federal Way) make a contribution to the project.
Barbara Miller, Ruth Dykman Children's Center, shared the philosophy of the center. It has supported families in crisis
for 75 years, and is a safe place for kids with severe abuse and neglect, ages 7-17. Last year, 17 Federal Way youth
received assistance., which reflects 8% of the total number served. The center is requesting $25,000 to build a new
home for eight to ten youth, which is 1 % of the total needed for the home. This funding will help to leverage funds
from other cities and King County. The new home will address their unique needs. For example, the window sills are
sloped so kids can't jump, the lighting is recessed so there are no hanging wires. It is a safe, clean home-like
atmosphere.
Vic Coleman, Valley Cities Counseling, is asking for housing funds for young adults with mental illness. There are two
treatment sites in Federal Way. Mr. Coleman noted that the only way to receive funding these days, is to have a funding
commitment from cities; everyone needs to pitch in, it is short-sighted to look at geography alone.
Parks, Recreation, Human Services & Public Safety Council Committee
August 25, 1998 Summary
Page Three
Bill Isabell, Executive Director, Mental Health Housing, expressed the need for housing for the mentally ill. The typical
income of a disabled person is $525 per month. Rent in an apartment in Federal Way is just under this amount.
However,-n1ost landlords would rathenent-apartment to those-wi~steady-jobs. There are approximately 750 people
in Federal Way with mental disabilities. Federal Way has fewer affordable beds than most other cities. The Mental
Health Housmg request will help in obtaining additional funds from King County.
Trish Crocker, Community Health Centers of King County, thanked the Human Services Commission for
recommending funding of the dental program, as it is important to provide this service to low income residents.
Deborah Coates, Economic Development Executive, stated that the downtown revitalization program application meets
four of the five stated CDBG needs, and encourages community development activities consistent with the City and
Human Services Commission comprehensive plans. Ms. Coates briefly described the proposed revitalization of the
international district.
Richard Bye, Human Service Commissioner, encouraged the committee to approve the CDBG recommendation as
presented, and stated that the Commission used a very rigorous process. Requests were in excess of $1 million. The
process included looking for projects with a very clear benefit to low to moderate income residents with the highest level
of benefit to targeted audience, which includes the elderly and disabled. Commission then looked at each agency's track
record, whether the agency can deliver on the project and manage the size of the project, the agency history, the
population served, etc. Mr. Bye stated that he is personally comfortable that the agencies chosen will deliver and that
they were the Commission's highest priority.
Darren Paschke, Vice Chair of the Human Services Commission, stated that he sees economic development as a
collaborative effort, and to truly develop the international district, the Chamber of Commerce and businesses should
help fund the project.
Del Hoover, Human Services Commissioner, stated that the City of Federal Way is receiving 26% of the CDBG funding
already, and is concerned with the amount of money being requested. If the international district project was granted
the funds in full, 66% of the CDBG dollars available would go to the City. Mr. Hoover stated that he has no problem
with the actual need for economic development in the international district, but that there was no question as to where
the real needs are. He is also concerned with the numbers presented in the application of low income and minority
residents actually living in that area. Mr. Hoover does
not feel the revitalization application measures up against the needs of the disabled, elderly and mentally ilL
Teresa Peffley, Human Services Commissioner, noted that nine programs could be affected if the international district
is funded. All of these nine programs are committed to helping Federal Way residents, and she felt that these programs
take priority over the importance of economic development.
Lisa Welch, Chair of the Human Services Commission, stated that as a business woman, she understood the needs of
economic development; however, she requested that the Commission's recommendation for the capital projects category
as presented be forwarded to the City CounciL The Commission believes that it has followed the intent of the City
Council for funding. Ms. Welch felt it apparent that something was going on behind the scenes, and funding the
intemational district above the others, which have a more direct impact, was embarrassing. The international district
merchants were interviewed by local newspapers and they knew little about this project and saw no benefit to it. She
urged the committee to take the politics out of it and consider the strength of the applications.
Ms. Burbidge had previously asked Ms. Guenther about the flexibility among the three categories, and if any of the
funding for the other categories could be used for another. The answer was yes; funding from the public service or
planning/administration category can be used for capital projects.
Mr. Dovey stated that the money available needs to stay in Federal Way. Mr. Dovey proposed funding the projects as
presented with the exception of Habitat for Humanity, Mental Health Foundation and Valley Cities Counseling and have
the remaining funds assigned to the revitalization of the international district.
Ms. Kachmar expressed concern about taking money away from agencies that provide services to the low income,
elderly and disabled and give to the revitalization project.
