The committee previously approved the contingency plan; however, some minor changes were made to the plan and those changes must be approved prior to presentation to full Council on September 15.

MOTION PASSED. BP A TRAIL PHASE III In February 1998, the Public Works Department hired Parametrix, Inc., to develop the trail alignment for the BP A Trail Corridor Phase III. The Public Works and Parks Departments have been working together on this project. On May 27 and June 16, the City hosted public meetings regarding the design proposals for Phase Ill. The consultant presented three trail alignment proposals ("A", "B" and "C") to the public. Of the 22 comments, 11 indicated their approval of Alignment "A". Additionally, staff did a direct mailing to the residents in the area (300-500). Previously, it was asked if a practice soccer field could fit on a section of the trail. Staff researched locating a soccer field on the most level and open portion of the trail, and presented three options. The first option would encroach on the Tacoma pipeline #5 site and the proposed trail would cut through the field. A smaller youth soccer field would also encroach on this site. The yd option would encroach on the BP A tower. The youth field is the best dimension. One problem associated with a soccer field is the need for parking. The City will have to coordinate the trail design and potential soccer field plan with BP A and Tacoma Pipeline #5. The cost for installing a soccer field at the BP A Trail Phase III would be approximately $200,000-250,000. Mr. Miller noted that staff can look at moving the existing trail over for option number one field. Mr. Miller displayed the three trail alignments as follows: Parks, Recreation, Human Services & Public Safety Council Committee September 14, 1998 Summary . Page Two Alignment A: This option received 11 of 22 votes. It has the least amount of grading and slope. It is best cost-wise, has the most separation from the road, and would have the least affect on utilities. However, the homeowners living close to this option do not want people walking by and looking in their homes. Alignment B: This option is steeper than Alignment A, but is further away from the homes. Alignment C: This option is the most expensive; it has the most grading, the most retaining walls, switchbacks (which makes it difficult to maneuver for bike riders and skaters. This option is the greatest distance from the intersection of Campus Drive. To allay the fears of the homeowners with Alignment "A", Mr. Miller noted, additional plant vegetation would be installed for screening purposes. LINDA KOCHMAR MOVED, JEANNE BURBIDGE SECONDED A MOTION TO RECOMMEND BP A TRAIL ALIGNMENT "A" AND HAVE THE ENGINEERING FIRM P ARAMETRIX, INC., PROCEED WITH THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE OF THE PROJECT. MOTION PASSED. This project is funded through design. City staff will apply for ISTEA funds for construction. NEXT MEETING Monday, September 28, 1998, noon ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 6: 12 p.m. Item SA CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES AND PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE Date: October 2, 1998 Lisa Welch, Chair, Human Services COmmiSSj~M ì/~ 1999-2000 Human Services Funding Recommendations From: Subject: Backqround The Human Services Commission is pleased to present the 1998 Human Services Funding Recommendations. Through these recommendations, the City achieves the following: . Addresses Council goals as outlined in the Human Services Comprehensive Plan. These goals, in priority order, are: <D Support basic needs through funding of emergency services; (lJ Support a strong service delivery system that increases public safety; @ Provide support that supplements federal, state and county programs designed to increase self-sufficiency and independence and; @ Support service models that improve community-based collaborations and build strong neighborhoods; . Allocates 40% of human services general funding to Goal 1 - Basic Needs, exceeding the Council goal of allocating 37% to this area of need; . Presents a plan that funds a continuum of services for Federal Way residents; Funds two new projects that address needs of low-income Federal Way residents: 1) a congregate meal program for seniors and; 2) al') adult day health care program for seniors and disabled adults. By funding new and innovative projects, the City can be responsive to the chal)ging needs in our community; In 1997, the City Council approved the City Manager's recommendation to move from an annual funding process for human services funding to a biennial process to be in line with the City's two- year budget cycle. The attached plan represents the City's first two-year human services funding plan. Second year funding for agencies will be contingent upon satisfactory contract performance and upon City funding available. . Attached is a summary of the applications received which shows the 1997 and 1998 City funding levels for each project, the 1999 and 2000 requests, and recommended funding level. Also included is a detail account of each project, including a program summary and the Commission's recommendation. The recommendations are presented in order of the four Council goals and funding strategies. (See Attachment 1 for the Council goals and strategies from the Human Services Comprehensive Plan.) In addition, an Additional Funding Plan is attached, which outlines the Commission's recommendations for anyone-time funding that may become available. Application Review Process The City received 39 applications for 1999-2000 human services funds totaling $748,024 and $772,739 for 2000. The Commission recommends funding 27 of these projects. The attached plan outlines the recommendations for allocation of the $300,000 human services fund base for each year, 1999 and 2000. The Commission logged more than 145 volunteer hours reviewing applications, interviewing applicants, receiving public comment from applicants, and discussing and deliberating the merits of each proposal as they relate to City goals. In addition to reviewing proposals in regards to how they addressed Council goals and priorities, the Commission evaluated applications in the following areas: 1) demonstrated need; 2) fiscal evaluation; 3) performance objectives and outcome measures; 4) use of volunteers/collaboration and; 5) diversity issues. (See Attachment 2.) The process of preparing the recommendations for 1999~2000 was especially challenging given the disparity between the total amount of funding requested and the amount of funding available. The amount requested for 1999 is 25% higher than the total 1998 request of $596,578. The 1999-2000 human services fund base of $300,000 is significantly higher than the 1998 base of $200,000. However, the total amount available for 1999-2000 is $88,775 less than 1998, given the amount of one-time funds allocated for programs this year. As a result, twenty-one of the programs that were funded by the City in 1998 have received reduced allocations for 1999-2000, and six of the 1998-funded programs are not recommended for funding, given the limited funds available. The Commission is concemed about the reduction in services to low-income and otherwise disadvantaged Federal Way residents that will occur as a result of City funding reductions. If approved (in full or in part), the Additional Funding Plan would restore funding to 1998 levels for many programs and provide small increases to others. Additional FundinQ Plan In addition to the recommendations for the $300,000 human services fund base, the Commission has prepared an Additional Funding Plan for allocation of anyone-time funds that may become available in the next biennium. The plan outlines the Commission's recommendations for additional funding by listing programs in priority order, with recommended amounts. The purpose of the Plan is to actively anticipate anyone-time funds which may become available and to have an allocation plan in place, which can be immediately administered as additional funding becomes available. Sources for additional funding include: one-time funds allocated by the Council, any unexpended general human services funds approved by the Council to be carried forward, and employee donations to the human services fund. At this time, the Commission seeks approval for the prioritized plan to allocate the potential funds. The Commission is not seeking approval for the one- time funding itself, as that issue will be decided by the Council at a later date.

(See Attachment 3.) The chart also includes the levels of 1998 and 1999 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for public service projects. These direct human services programs also achieve the Council goals as outlined in the Human Services Comprehensive Plan. These CDBG-funded programs are: Community Health Dental Services (Goal 1), Emergency Feeding Program (Goal 1, 1998 only), Domestic Violence Witness Coordinator (Goal 2), and the CARES Child Care Program (Goal 3). The request amounts for 2000 were $24,715 (3%) higher than 1999 request amounts. It is anticipated that agencies will receive the same level of funding in both 1999 and 2000, dependent on satisfactory contract periormance and on funds available. This would be true for the base funds only, as any additional one-time funds are expected to fluctuate from year to year. Ann Guenther, Human Services Manager, and I will be at your October 12th meeting to present these recommendations and answer any questions you may have. If you have any questions before the meeting, please call Ann at 661-4039.
