Councilmember Ferrell reported that at the last EDC-EVC meeting at the Chamber of
Commerce, a subcommittee was fonned to discuss the businesses that have left Federal
Way. Both he and Councilmember Dovey are members of that subcommittee. The
changing of the municipal judge from an appointed position to an elected one took another
step forward at the February 14 Parks/Recreation/Human Services and Public Safety
Committee meeting. The next meeting on March 14 will involve a draft ordinance that
would change that designation. If passed at the committee level, it would then go to full
Council on March 15 for first reading. The Suburban Cities Association had a meeting on
February 9 at Renton City Hall to discuss issues of mutual interest.
Councilmember Park reported that the Land Use/Transportation Committee will have their
meeting on February 28 instead of21, due to the holiday.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
The City Council's Strategic Planning Retreat
D~tAfT
';;¡:J-:y If s:-
Saturday, 29 January 2005
Dumas Bay Centre
REVISED SUMMARY
of the Key Discussions, Decisions and Agreements
Attendees: Mayor Dean McColgan, Council members Jeanne Burbidge, Jack Dovey, Eric
Faison, Jim Ferrell, Linda Kochmar and Mike Park; City Manager David Moseley; Assistant
City Manager Derek Matheson; Department Directors Donna Hanson, Anne Kirkpatrick, Kathy
McClung, Mary McDougal, Cary Roe and ¡wen Wang; City Attorney Pat Richardson; Economic
Development Director Patrick Doherty; Executive Assistant to the City Manager Patrick Briggs;
and Facilitator Jim Reid.
This is a summary of key discussions, decisions and agreements of the seven
Federal Way City Council members at their annual strategic planning retreat,
which occurred this year on Saturday, 29 January at the Dumas Bay Centre.
COUNCIL'S VISION AND FUTURE DIRECTION STILL VALID
The Council members rather quickly reaffirmed the vision, mission and goals that are stated in
the City's budget, and the future direction they charted at their strategic planning retreat in
January 2004.
The Future Vision and Mission Statement that are in the budget address the full range of issues,
services and programs the City is responsible for, and characterize the philosophy, culture and
spirit with which the City approaches working with citizens and delivering services.
fu January 2004 the Council agreed that for the next three years, through the end of 2006, the
Council's highest priority is to "increase sales tax revenues to provide services that the citizens
of Federal Way expect from their City government." Council members also acknowledged that
they share five mutual interests for economic development, and agreed on five goals and a
number of strategies to achieve their priority.
This year the Council reaffinned the direction reflected in all these documents, but adjusted some
of the language to reflect the Council's interest in economic revitalization throughout the City,
not just in downtown. The Council agreed to these language changes:
FUTURE VISION (Budget)
Responsible 2rowth:
4. "Preserve a primarily residential community and open natural areas with concentrated urban
development in the City's Center and in other business districts."
Mutual Interests (January 2004 retreat)
2. "A mix of jobs, housing, recreational and cultural amenities within downtown and
neighborhood business districts, and more of them than exist today."
During this discussion some other important points were articulated that more precisely define the
Councils' direction regarding economic development.
.
We need to expand our definition of economic development to include education. We should
work closely with the School District and Highline Community College to address and help
stimulate education as a tool for economic expansion and/or revitalization.
.
We need to continually assess our policies, programs, rules, regulations and procedures to
ensure that we are not inadvertently doing anything to undennine business growth and
vitality.
.
The City is not entirely responsible for the economic health of the community. Businesses
make independent decisions that affect the economy, and, of course, the national and state
economic climates playa factor. But the City should ensure that for those things it is
responsible for, its actions help lead the "horse to the water."
.
The public may feel a bit more panicky about the current business climate because citizens
are not privy to all the infonnation we are given. The lesson learned is this: The City must
constantly educate the public by providing facts that we can share, offering our perspectives,
and engaging citizens in our economic development vision and goals.
.
We need to be proactive in learning lessons from recent developments in our community.
For example, we should look into the recent closures of businesses so that we have a better
understanding of the causes. Such an understanding will enable us to identify actions we may
be able to take to prevent similar situations in the future. It may also provide us with a body
of evidence we can offer to companies that are considering locating in our City.
.
While we are concerned about recent business closures and moves, we need to remember that
the City has granted more business licenses than ever in recent years, and in just the past four
years, that number has risen significantly.
2
The suggestion was made, and no voices were in opposition, that a City Council Goal should be
revised to expand it beyond the needs and interests of "voters."
CITY COUNCIL GOALS (budget)
Be Responsible and Responsive to the (Voters') Citizens' Message:
.:. "Make responsible program choices in balancing the budget such that the City does not
penalize the (voters) citizens."
Finally, as the discussion wound down, the suggestion was made that at some date in the future,
these documents from the budget and last year's retreat should be combined and reconciled into a
vision/missionlpriorities/goals document that is a little more user friendly, and which provides
staff with unequivocal direction from the Council. The process, including schedule, for doing
this was not discussed.
COUNCIL DISCUSSES DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION, CITY'S ROLE IN IT
This retreat was focused primarily on downtown revitalization, and addressed the questions:
"What is the Council's vision for downtown?" and "What should the City do now (in the short-
tenD) to respond to business closures and relocations?"
Council members quickly agreed that the elements of the long-term vision for downtown that
they articulated in January 2004 are still valid. They suggested that the challenge is to agree on
the strategies or tactics the City will undertake to achieve it.
Patrick Doherty reviewed for them the steps to be taken by the Leland Group as part of its work
on behalf of the Council and the City to address the long-tenD focus of downtown. As a result of
his presentation, the Council members provided further direction on key points and/or agreed
on specific steps.
.
Interview a broad range of stakeholders as part of the first step of the study (gather
infonnation and data). Communicate to the representatives of the Leland Group that Federal
Way is a community with many stakeholders who are tremendously interested and engaged
in, and willing to devote time and energy to, economic development, the revitalization of
downtown and other related issues.
.
Among the stakeholder groups that need to be involved in the study are the Chamber of
Commerce, School District, Fire District, Utility District and medical community.
.
Council members will provide Patrick with the names of and contact infonnation for people
and/or organizations that should be interviewed by the Leland Group. As the list of
interviewees is being finalized, he will provide it to them so that they can suggest any
additions.
.
To solicit public input from those whose interest in downtown may not be known to the City,
a solicitation notice will be placed in the newspaper, on the City's website and on the
government television station.
3
.
Once the study is finished, the City needs to conduct public outreach to explain its findings
and solicit the reactions and responses of citizens.
Based on the Council's direction, Patrick commented that there are a variety of ways to capture
public comment during the study, such as one-on-one interviews, "focus group" interviews in
which groups of people are convened for a discussion of the key questions, and community
forums.
During their discussion about revitalizing downtown, the Council members articulated these
outcomes:
.
More citizens are involved in the discussions and decisions about downtown, including many
who have not been traditionally involved in economic development issues.
There is broader public knowledge about, understanding of and support for the City's vision.
The City's actions and the actions of others do not contradict the City's vision for downtown
and the policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The City is helping businesses and others gain access to vital information that they need to
make informed and wise decisions.
The City more often thinks like a business and makes decisions or takes actions that reflect
that perspective. .
City investments stimulate business activity.
All options are on the table, such as assembling land, so that both the public and private
sectors have more choices.
There is a public square in downtown for community gatherings and activities.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
In terms of its role in achieving these outcomes, the Council members offered these directions:
.
The City needs to be solicitous and proactive in engaging people and organizations in the
process of defining the long-term future for downtown and agreeing on the short-term actions
that will improve downtown vitality.
.
Ensure that City policies, programs, rules, regulations and procedures are not obstacles to
economic vitality.
.
Share the economic development and downtown visions of the Council, and work to build
public support for them. Be even more effective in getting our message out.
.
Communicate realities to thç key stakeholders, including business community, and the public.
.
Make wise investments that stimulate business activity.
In terms of what the City can do now, in this interim period before the Leland Group study is
completed, CouncÍI members agreed that:
.
The City needs to learn lessons from recent closures of several businesses. What has caused
or is causing businesses to close or relocate? Is anything the City doing a cause of those
closures and relocations? Might the City do more to convince businesses to invest in
downtown? Use EDClEVC members to help conduct this outreach to the business
community, analyze the lessons learned and suggest long-term solutions.
4
.
Get people to more fully understand the City's vision for downtown, and build public support
for that vision.
.
Help businesses recognize and understand that some of the agreements made among
themselves may be contrary to the City's vision; facilitate their discussions to explore
different ways of achieving both their interests and those of the City.
.
Work with the private sector to fund an effort to recruit businesses. To ensure that existing
businesses do not feel ignored or threatened by this approach, gain their support for the effort
and involve them in it. To launch this effort, the City will consult with the Chamber of
Commerce and talk with Buxton about overseeing the recruiting effort.
.
Make clear to the representatives of prospective new businesses that Federal Way welcomes
them and has much to offer them and their employees. Put together teams of City Council
members, Chamber of Commerce representatives and others to meet with the leaders of these
companies to communicate this message.
.
Continue to expand outreach to the business community and others who are interested in the
future direction of downtown.
.
Add to FEDRAC's agenda a discussion of providing the services of an ombudsman.
Detennine what the interests are in this position, how those interests mayor may not be
achieved by current outreach to the business community, and the costs and benefits of the
position.
COUNCIL REVIEWS SELECTION OF MUNICIPAL JUDGE
As a result of a brief discussion by the Council about the selection of the Municipal Judge, three
key interests were articulated: I) judicial independence, and the appearance of it; 2) direct
accountability to the people (representative government); and 3) a high quality official.
The City's Municipal Judge, who is appointed by the City Manager and approved by the Council,
works approximately thirty-three hours per week; a court commissioner is employed for thirty-
two hours per week. To some this means that in essence the City has 1.5 judges. That fact, the
interests listed above and a desire to comply with what they see as the spirit of State law
prompted some Council members to express interest in changing the process from an appointed to
an elected Municipal Judge. Others indicated that they are comfortable with the current system,
likening it to the federal system in which judges are appointed and confinned.
While the Council members did not intend to make a decision on this possible change at the
retreat, they did acknowledge that the decision needs to be made sometime this Spring. Council
members agreed to work through the issue in the parks and public safety committee before
bringing it to the full Council. They also identified key pieces of infonnation that will be needed
to make the decision: costslbudgetary impacts; the advantages and disadvantages of each
selection method, including the ability and inability of each method to achieve the Council's three
interests; the opinions and perspectives of the State Court system; what has happened since the
last time the Judge was appointed that warrants the change; and the process and timeline for
making the change in the event it is agreed upon.
5
STRATEGIES TO PROMOTE THE COMMUNITY
This half-day retreat concluded with a brief discussion of strategies to promote the City more
effectively. The ideas included:
.
Continue to promote our vision for the future and all the good things the community has to
offer.
Continue to reach out to the general public and key interest groups.
Communicate our message through video, television, press releases, the website, newspapers,
newsletters and tourism publications.
Put high school sports events on the local government television station.
Put other kinds of community events, such as excerpts from the Martin Luther King Day
celebration and local arts perfonnances, on television.
.
.
.
.
As this discussion concluded, the suggestion was offered that we need to continue to try to do
more with what we already have by using it more strategically.

This is a summary of the meeting of the management team on Monday, 7
February 2005 from 10 a.m. until noon in which the team reviewed the summary
of the City Council's retreat and developed strategies to implement the Council's
direction. The summary was prepared by Jim Reid, facilitator of the Council's
retreat, who attended the management team meeting.
UPDATING THE VISION, MISSION AND GOALS
Council Retreat Summary p. 1-3
The Council made three changes to its vision, goals and mutual interests (see pages 2-3 of this
summary and the revised language, which is an attachment to it). As their retreat wound down,
Council members said that at a future date they would like to review, consolidate and/or update
the various documents that constitute their overall vision and goals, and their economic
development vision, priority and goals. .
.:. The management team will work with the Council to detennine when it would be appropriate
to undertake this work and the process for completing it.
CONDUCTING THE LELAND STUDY
Council Retreat Summary p. 3-5
To implement the direction provided by the Council regarding the conduct of the Leland Study
for downtown revitalization, the management team identified these actions:
.:. Patrick Doherty will email the Council members requesting they recommend individuals who
should be interviewed by The Leland Group, either individually or as part of an open house.
.:. The City will host an open house for people interested in discussing the City Center with
representatives of The Leland Group and City staff. Comments generated at this forum are
intended to infonn the study.
.:. Patrick will serve as a liaison between The Leland Group and the Council members to ensure
that each member is interviewed as part of the infonnation-gathering and context for the
study.
7
.:. The management team will work with The Leland Group and Council to finalize the list of
people to be interviewed for the study, and, if needed, help schedule the interviews.
.:. To achieve the Council's interest in reaching out to Federal Way residents who have not
been part of past discussions about downtown revitalization or the community's economic
growth and development, the management team will use the City's website, newspapers and
television programming to solicit citizen involvement in the study.
.:. After the study is completed and released, City staff will work with the Council to
specifically determine how to present and market its findings to the public, and stimulate
public discussion about them. Patrick Doherty is already planning a City-hosted Economic
Development Forum later this year, and that may be one way to present and gain feedback on
the study's findings and recommendations.
RECRUITING NEW BUSINESSES NOW AND PROMOTING FEDERAL WAY
Council Retreat Summary p. 5-6
To implement the Council's direction regarding actions that could be taken to recruit new
businesses to downtown while the Leland Study is underway, the management team agreed that:
.:. Staff will work with the Council, Chamber of Commerce and business owners to learn
lessons from the recent closures and relocations of businesses in City Center and determine
what those lessons indicate about City policies or actions.
.:. The City will work with the EDCIEVC and the Chamber of Commerce to see if there is an
interest within the private sector to fund the effort to recruit new businesses.
.:. When the representatives of businesses or corporations that are thinking oflocating in Federal
Way express the interest in talking with a delegation of City and business officials, staff will
informally pull together a team representing the Council, staff and existing businesses to meet
with them and explain what the community has to offer and the benefits of locating here.
To implement the Council's interest in reaching out to the business community and general public
regarding the revitalization of the City Center, the management team identified these actions:
.:. Staff will work with the FEDRAC and all Council members to determine how to continue to
reach out to those with an interest in downtown revitalization, and to determine what role the
Council members may wish to play in this effort.
.:. Staff will also work with the EDCIEVC to identify strategies and tactics for involving those
who are interested in downtown revitalization.
.:. Planning staff will monitor private property covenants for their impact on the City's vision
and goals, and if helpful, will try to facilitate discussions among businesses to ensure the
vision and goals are achieved through their decisions and actions.
8
.:. The City will continue to work with the Planning Commission and business owners to
monitor City policies, programs, rules, regulations and procedures to ensure that they are not
obstacles to the expansion of existing businesses and the establishment of new ones.
.:. Staff will work with the FEDRAC members to pursue incorporating the functions of an
ombudsman into the work of the City as it reaches out to and learns trom the business
community.
.:. Staff will work with the FEDRAC members to discuss the idea of bringing in speakers to
periodically open Committee meetings with presentations about economic development
issues, business activity in Federal Way and other topics that focus on downtown
revitalization and economic growth.
To implement the Councils' direction regarding promoting Federal Way, the management team
reported that:
.:. Staff is working with the School District to put high school sports events on the local

SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: The Federal Way Department of Public Safety maintained a 2004 Jail Contract
with the City of Auburn and requests to continue the jail services of the City of Auburn in 2005.

charged as a bed maintenance fee by Yakima County (Yakima County daily fee less the medical fee) to house
Federal Way inmates for every 24-hour period, or portion thereof, that said inmate is in the custody of Auburn.
For 2005, the daily fee shall be $59.04

Background
The City of Federal Way Department of Public Safety maintained an Interlocal Agreement with

misdemeanor inmates for confinement under the agreement that may be legally confined for 24
hours per day. The Auburn Jail daily fee for 2004 was $56.23. The daily fee for 2005 is $59.04.

ATTACHMENTS: Memorandum to the Parks, Recreation Human Services, and Public Safety Committee dated
February 7, 2005 with attachments.
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: The 2005 CDBG program funded adult day health services to provide health care,
rehabilitative care and caregiver respite for Federal Way residents with chronic or terminal illnesses such as Alzheimer's.
ElderHealth Northwest in Renton and MultiCare Adult Day Health in Auburn were both funded in 2004 and applied for
2005 CDBG funds. 2005 funding was awarded to the MultiCare program because of the proximity to Federal Way and
the implementation ofa $10,000 minimum for CDBG public service programs. MultiCare closed the Aburn Adult Day
Health Program in December 2004 and will not be able to use the $10,000 CDBG award for 2005. ElderHealth
Northwest has transferred Federal Way patients to their program. Reallocation of the 2005 CDBG award to ElderHealth
Northwest will assist Federal Way residents in need of adult day health services.
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: At its February 14,2004 meeting, the PRHS&PS
Committee forwarded the following Human Services Commission recommendation: Amend the 2005 CDBG Proposed
Use of Funds to reallocate $10,000 from MultiCare Health System Adult Day Health to ElderHealth Northwest
Connection Adult Health Care.
PROPOSED MOTION: I move to amend the 2005 CDBG Proposed Use of Funds to reallocate $10,000 from MultiCare
Health System Adult Day Health to ElderHealth Northwest Connection Adult Health Care.

Reallocation. ~ 2005 CDBG Funds for Adult Day Health Services
Policy Question:
Reallocate 2005 CDBG funds awarded to MultiCare Adult Day Health due to closure of
the program.
BackQround:
MultiCare Health Services notified Federal Way that they would be closing down the
Auburn Adult Day Health Program effective December 17, 2004 (attachment 1) and will
therefore not be able to use the 2005 CDBG award from Federal Way. The Auburn
Adult Day Health Program had been allocated $10,000 for 2005.
Options:
1. Reallocate $10,000 from MultiCare Health System Adult Day Health to Federal
Way Norman Center YMCA - CARES per the 2005 CDBG Contingency Plan
(Attachment 2).
The 2005 Contingency Plan was developed to allocate any additional funds available
for CDBG projects by category. The first priority for increased funding of public service
programs was to split additional funds between the Auburn Adult Day Health Program
and the Norman Center YMCA CARES Program. With the closure of MultiCare's
Auburn facility, there is no adult day health program funded. The Federal Way Senior
Center provides adult day care with no health care services. Funding to the CARES
program would provide additional childcare scholarships at the YMCA to Federal Way
residents based upon financial need. The Federal Way Norman Center YMCA was not
able to fully utilize the 2004 CDBG allocation of $31,006 (attachment 3). .
2.
Amend the 2005 CDBG Proposed Use of Funds to reallocate $10,000 from
MultiCare Health System Adult Day Health to ElderHealth Northwest Connection
Adult Health Care.
Federal Way funded both ElderHealth Northwest and Auburn Adult Day Health with
CDBG funds in 2004. The Commission recommended funding the MultiCare program
in Auburn and discontinued funding of the ElderHealth Adult Day program in Renton for
2005 (Attachment 4). This was due to the following factors: proximity of the Auburn
program to Federal Way; declining Federal Way clients at the ElderHealth program
since the opening of the Auburn facility; and the increased minimum funding of $10,000
for CDBG public service programs. Ten Federal Way clients transferred from the
MultiCare program to ElderHealth Northwest in January. ElderHealth served 16 .
b-\
Federal Way clients in 2004 and added two more clients in 2005 from referrals.
ElderHealth Northwest has been working to expand their capacity following the closure
of the MultiCare Adult Day Health Program and opened an evening program for adults
with developmental disabilities on January 1, 2005.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends Option 2 because of the need for day health services for seniors and
adults with developmental disabilities. The closure of the MultiCare Adult Day Health
facility was an unanticipated occurrence that was not anticipated in the 2005
Contingency Plan.
Commission Recommendation
The Human Services Commission moved to forward option 2 to the Parks, Recreation,
Human Services and Public Safety Committee for recommendation to the full Council at
their January 24,2005, meeting.
Committee Recommendation
Forward option - to the full City Council for consideration at the March 1, 2005, City
Council meeting.
Please contact me at (253) 835-2653 or kellio@fedway.org if you have any questions

Attachment 1
December 8, 2004
Dear Kelli,
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I must inform you of the closure of the
Auburn Adult Day Health Program.
The closure will be effective December 17, 2004.
Due to the current health care and economic environment, the Auburn Adult Day Health
Center has been operating at a significant financial loss and has not grown as expected
since opening in December 2001.
This was a very difficult decision for us to make. We came to South King County
because it was underserved and we wanted to provide supportive services to those
people who were most at risk for losing their independence due to physical, cognitive
and/or developmental disability.
Federal Way recognized this need and supported us through CDBG funds. The Federal
Way clients we served benefited from skilled nursing, rehab services and therapeutic
activities. While funding for community services are being cut each year in our state, it is
with great respect that I acknowledge the investment Federal Way made to their
. residents through support of the Auburn Adult Day Health Center.
Auburn Adult Day Health has been partnering with Elder Health Connections in Renton
to transition our clients to their facility. Connections had previously not accepted clients
who needed substantial support for personal care and/or to participate in programming,
and instead referred them to our program. I am pleased to report that Connections
plans to transition most of our clients to their program and they have met with our staff
to better understand the skills needed to serve them. More than 40 clients are
scheduled to transition to their facility over the next several months, including clients
from Federal Way. .
.-
It would be my recommendation that CDBG funds be reallocated to their program so
tha~t a continuum of care can be supported.
I would like to express my appreciation for your support in the program and we are
honored and humbled to have been able to provide service to the residents of Federal
Way.
Sincerely,
Anne Vander Seek RN BSN
Auburn Adult Day Health
Program Manager

funds as follows:

amount requested for 2005; and,
2, If an additional $10,000 of public service funds become available after the first contingency is
fully funded, funds will be allocated to Catholic Community Services for the Katherine's
House Transitional Housing program; and,
3. If less than $10,000 of public service funds become available and/or any additional public
service funds are received after the second contingency is fully funded, funds will be
allocated to 2005 CDBG Capital projects in accordance with the priority order listed above.
Planning and Administration - The City will apply any increase in the amount of CDBG planning
and administration funds as follows:
1. Any additional funds for planning and administration activities will be allocated to Planning
and Administration to cover administraH\lf'. costs for Federal Way's CDBG program; and

applied toward the costs of additional planning activities consistent with the King County

allocated to capital projects in accordance with the priority order listed above.
SHOULD THE GRANT AMOUNT DECREASE:

King County Housing and Community Development Federal Way Housing Repair Program;

Policy Question
May the City of Federal Way create a Resolution to Accept and Support the 2005 USA PAC
RIM Sports Summit?
Background
The United States Olympic Committee has signed an agreement with the Olympic Committees of
China and Canada to lay the foundation for a USA Pac Rim Sports Summit, which will include
elite athletes and other participants from the United States, China, Canada, Russia, Japan, South
Korea, New Zealand, and Mexico, as well as, other Pacific Rim Countries.
The Federal Way Aquatics Center has been selected as the location for a portion of the USA Pac
Rim Sports Summit.
The Seattle Organizing Committee plans to raise $10 million from concessions, ticket sales, and
sponsorships; however there is no guarantee that the City of Federal Way will receive any of this
funding. The Federal Way Department of Public Safety (FWDPS) estimates the potential cost to
our Department to be $88,182.60 if we do not receive funding from the Seattle Committee.
These dollars would have to come from the FWDPS overtime budget.
Attached is a Resolution to approve, accept and support the USA Pac Rim Sports Summit, and a
spreadsheet of our personnel cost estimate.
Options
1. Motion to approve the Resolution, with a cost of $88,182.60, of the City Council of the City
of Federal Way, W A, Approving Acceptance and Support of the USA Pac Rim Sports Summit
(also known as "The Road to Beijing") and the Pacific Health Summit and Related Events
coming to the City of Federal Way in 2005, and forward to Full Council for consideration at it's

SUMMARYIBACKGROUND: The council heard a staff presentation on the East Branch of Lakota Creek Restoration Project
on February 15th, 2005. Staff presented four options for council consideration. Council split 3-3 between options 1 and 4 which
resulted in the project being continued to the March 1 st City Council meeting.
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: At its January 24, 2005 meeting, the Land Use and
Transportation Committee forwarded the staff recommendation pending further discussion on the options available for the
overflow and existing pond at 22nd A venue SW on Lot 10 of the Lakota Ridge Plat. The Committee requested the item not be
placed on the consent agenda and be discussed under 'other business'. This was done on February 15th. After deliberations, a
vote was taken resulting in a split 3-3 vote between options 1 and 4.
PROPOSED MOTION: "I move to Approve 100% design and authorize Surface Water Management Division staff to
advertise project for bid, returning to Council for authorization to award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible
bidder based on Option 1 as described in the attached February 15th Council Agenda Bill with a 20-inch pipe in lieu of the
originally designed 18-inch pipe."

SUMMARY /BACKGROUND: This project restores apl}\.tØ;elY 2,625 lineal feet of the East Branch of Lakota Creek
from the mouth of the creek, upstream to SR-509 at Lak:Mo/1>ark (the upstream limit); including an unnamed tributary
(hereafter refeITed to as the North Tributary) which extends}lpproximately 500 feet off of the right bank half way through
the project limits. Several fish passage impediments willÄ5e eliminated; selected stream banks stabilized, and fish habitat
structures added. In addition, stormwater flows will b71ight lined from the upper end of the North Tributary to the East
Branch to reduce channel erosion in the North Tributapý and reduce sediment input to the East Branch.
,I
I
The LUTC Committee approved the 85% design ~~ge of the project on November 15, 2004. The 100% project design is
completed and was presented to the Land Use ..ánd Transportation Committee on January 24th, 2005. At this meeting,
residents on 22nd Avenue E, the Zuriligens, mrie a request to redesign the project to eliminate an existing pipe discharge
onto their property. 1/
The Zuriligen's own Lot 10 in the Lakot Ridge Plat which contains a private drainage pond created through the platting
process and constructed in 1974. Neit r the pond nor the drainage easement was ever dedicated to King County so they
were never transfeITed to City owner ip. The City does not own or have maintenance responsibility for the pond or the
inlet or outlet pipes. The 1974 Plat ocument shows a IS-foot building setback and drainage easement on the lot and the
approved 1974 engineering plans how the same information and a designation for a "drainage basin" along with the
information necessary for cons ction of the pond. There is no doubt that the pond was a requirement ofthe development
in 1974 and that it has existed nce as a pond since construction in 1974.
I
/
When the City's project~' under design, it was thought that the pipe discharging onto the Zurilgen's property could be
removed, however a~th project came closer to the 100% design, it was determined that due to the close proximity of a
steep sloped ravine (were the water cuITently flows), it would be in the best interests of the City to maintain the existing
flow path in the eve ality of an overflow from the new pipe system.
/
The Zurilgen's ¡e" dissatisfied with this option and have requested the City redesign the project to eliminate the existing
pipe dischargiJig into the pond on their property. They have proposed a new overflow be constructed off of their property
into the raviné. At the LUTC meeting on the 24th, the Committee requested SWM prepare options for their consideration
at the Cou~~il meeting on February 15th, 2005. The following are the options as SWM sees them along with the pros and
cons fo~ e~h. /// . ( hi6: - ~ '
~ ~
;j¡~~! d-U~~' "
,J ~(
OPTIONS:
In considering the options, an additional factor needs to be included at this time. As a part of reviewing the project
components in order to respond to the Zurilgen's request, the City's consultant has identified an issue with the current
design. Based on investigations into pipe availability, the consultant has been informed that the 18-inch pipe called for on
the plans is expected to be in limited supply nationally. There is a high likelihood that if bid as proposed, the contractors
will not be able to obtain the required pipe. As such, the consultants are recommending the design be modified to increase
the pipe size to 20-inches, which is expected to be readily available. The increased cost to the project is expected to be
between $15,000 and $20,000. The project has available funding to cover this increase. This has been reflected in the
new cost estimate below. The total project cost due to construction costs, contingency and construction management has
increased by $25,000 due to the increased pipe size.
Option 1: Continue with the project as currently designed with continued use of the pipe into the pond on the Zurilgen's
property .
.
Pros: continued use of the existing drainage system will not require a redesign, SEP A documentation revisions,
schedule delay, or increased costs. The existing pond will no longer see flows with every rain event. Instead, the
frequency of flows to the pond will reduce to approximately the 50 year rainfall event (3.9" of rain in 24 hours).
.
Con: The Zurilgen's will see flow into their pond occasionally due to excessive storms and/or blockages of the
new pipeline. The Zurilgen' s will not be able to fill the pond and access more of their property.
Option 2: Plug or remove the pipeline from the street to the Zurilgen's pond and keep the design as planned.
.
Pros: Zurilgen's increase opportunity to fill the pond. Action by the Zurilgen's to do so would require them to go
through the Plat Revision process.
.
Con: Overflows from the pipe system would flow over the ravine sides potentially causing damage and
significant erosion which could create liability to the City. Damage to the ravine would also result in increased
sedimentation down in Lakota Creek which could negatively impact the restoration efforts of this project and
existing habitat for salmonids.
Option 3: Plug or remove the pipeline from the street to the Zurilgen's pond and construct a new overflow into the ravine.
.
Pros: Same as above for Zurilgen's. City would now have overflow back into ravine for extreme events or
occurrences where pipe is blocked.
.
Cons: Construction of a new overflow onto the downstream property would necessitate obtaining an easement
from the adjacent property owner. The current owner's family contested the original discharge with King County
and the issue was very contentious. It is highly unlikely that the City would be able to obtain an easement to
construct a new piped discharge with a free outlet into the ravine on their property without legal action.
Construction of a new overflow would likely require modification to the SEP A documentation that would result
in a delay of the project. In consultation with the design engineers, we see the following issues with a new
overflow: the design of the new outlet and plans and specifications modifications would require an additional
eight (8) weeks; due to the steepness of the existing slope into the ravine, a geotechnical firm would need to
conduct evaluations of the bank to determine how the pipe overflow and structures could safely be designed and
installed; the preliminary costs for engineering, geotechnical evaluations, and construction are between $42,000
and $70,000. The project could be delayed long enough that the WSDF&W Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA)
permit could not be complied with for construction within the creek within the allowable fish window (typically
July 15 through September 30) and therefore construction in 2005 would be unlikely. Delays in construction
would likely require plan modifications for habitat restoration components in 2005/2006 due to changes in the
creek topography from winter storm events.
Option 4: Upsize the new bypass line to accommodate up to the 10O-year storm and continue use of the pipe into the
pond on the Zurilgen's property:
.
Pros: Same as for option 1. Risks for overflow down the steep ravine are diminished for large events.
Cons: Construction of the larger pipe will increase project costs approximately $40,000 over current estimates.

POLICY QUESTION:
Should the Council approve design of the East Branch Lakota Creek Restoration Project and authorize Surface
Water Management Division staff to advertise the project for bid?
BACKGROUND:
This project restores approximately 2,625 lineal feet of the East Branch of Lakota Creek from the mouth of the
creek, upstream to SR-509 at Lakota Park (the upstream limit); including an unnamed tributary (hereafter referred
to as the North Tributary) which extends approximately 500 feet off ofthe right bank halfway through the project
limits. Several fish passage impediments will be eliminated; selected stream banks stabilized, and fish habitat
structures added. In addition, stormwater flows will be tight lined from the upper end of the North Tributary to
the East Branch to reduce channel erosion in the North Tributary and reduce sediment input to the East Branch.
The LUTC Committee approved the 85% design stage of the project on November 15, 2004. Currently, the
project design is completed and hereby presented for your consideration and approval to bid.

Page 2
OPTIONS:
1.
Approve the 100% design for the East Branch Lakota Creek Restoration Project and authorize
Surface Water Management Division staff to bid the project and return to the City Council for
permission to award the project to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on available
funding. This option complies with the SWM Capital Facilities Plan.
2.
Recommend Suiface Water Management Division discontinue this project. This option would be
a cost savings to the Utility; however, there would be continued degradation to an aquatic
resource. There would likely be damage to recent main stem restoration efforts due to deposition
of erosion materials from the East Branch.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends forwarding Option 1 to the February 15,2005 City Council Consent Agenda for approval:
Approve 100% design and authorize Surface Water Management Division staff to advertise project for
bid, returning to Council for authorization to award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible
bidder.

Presentation presented to FEDRAC on February 8, 2005.
SUMMARYIBACKGROUND: WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) is a growing technology used at home. in businesses, and by
communities around the world. The City received funds through a COPS grant for providing wireless access for public
safety purposes. In addition, many communities are examining this technology as a cost effective way of providing
affordable broadband access for both their businesses and residents. The preliminary pro-forma shows the potential of a
self-funded citywide WiFi network that would provide affordable broadband Internet access. This action will authorize
staff to construct a small scale pilot project that will allow the City to test the assumptions for a self-funded citywide WiFi
network in conjunction with the public safety wireless project.
The Public Safety WiFi network will equip 30-40 cars with access to the city network from five to ten wireless access
points through a secure network covering a portion of the cìty, which will be tied into the existing city fiber I-Net system.
The Public WiFi pilot project will consist of two or three mixed demographic areas in the city, covering up to two square
miles with ten to fifteen access points, which will connect to the central network using city-owned or leased
linesfequipment.
Total cost ofthe project is $350,000 with $100,000 funded by grants; it will require an additional $250,000 in City
resources. Staff recommends using excess REET collected in 2004 for this additional funding need.
Staff is requesting to expedite purchasing approval process to meet the grant deadline of May 2005.
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: FEDRAC forwarded this item to the March I Council
meeting as a business item for deliberation; with final action anticipated at the March 15 regular Council meeting.

Wireless Broadband (Wi-Fi) - Proof of Concept Scope
Subject:
Background
At the Feb 8, 2005 FEDRAC committee meeting staff presented background information on the WiFi
technology and its growing use at home, in businesses, and by communities around the world. The
preliminary pro forma shows the potential of a self-funded citywide WiFi network that would provide
affordable broadband Internet access. The next step would be to construct a small scale pilot project that
will allow the city to test the assumptions. The Committee approved that staff to develop a proposal for
such a pilot project and to incorporate the proposed funding in the carry-forward budget for Council
consideration.
Summary
Attached is the conceptual scope of the pilot project. A key consideration in selecting the pilot areas is
the distance from the City Hall -- the nerve center of the system, where all signals collected by the
Access Points must go for authentication and access; and!or the availability of city or other government
owned conduits and facilities.
Overall, the conceptual pIan for the public safety and the public access systems combined consists of
around 25 fixed Access Points (APs), up to 5 mobile APs, possible adding copper and fiber optics lines
or wireless backhaul equipment. The public safety system will cover an area around one (1) square mile,
with an extended area of four (4) square miles. The public access APs will cover a core oftwo (2) squire
miles containing approximately 5,000 dwelling units, businesses, office parks, and public spaces, with an
extended coverage area up to five (5) square miles covering 12,000 dwelling units.
The exact 10cations of these pilot areas will be adjusted during the detail design phase. The
implementation of the public safety element and the public access element will be coordinated to
maximize efficiency and economy of scale.
The proposed time line is very aggressive. In addition to the importance of starting a unifonn network to
minimize competing networks challenges in the future, during the investigative process, staff found that
the demand for the WiFi equipment has been increasing over the past 90 days and is still growing
quickly, some vendors warned that the delivery may be delayed up to 120 days. The nonnal bid award!
approval processes would typically add 30 days to the equipment selection process. To meet the grant
timeline and to prevent the project delay by backlogs, staff requests Council wave section 11 (h) of the
purchasing policies in the attached resolution authorizing staff to award the bid and execute the necessary
purchasing orders as early as possible. Staff will provide reports of the equipment selection and project
progress to the FEDRAC monthly.

PUBLIC SAFETY ELEMENT
2005 WiFI Pilot Project Scope
The purpose of this project is it to set up a wireless (WiFi) network for Public Safety purpose so officers
can access the City network and other technology capabilities at lower costs and higher bandwidth than
current cellular data services.
Project objectives
The Public Safety WiFi grant objective is to equip as many police cars as possible and provide the
largest and most critical coverage for access to the network through WiFi technology, while maintaining
the systems security and reducing cellular connection cost. The funding available through COPS grant
and the City match for this project is approximately $100,000.

Network Expansion Potentials
Once the infrastructure is in place, it could provide wireless broadband access to other City
departments as well as other government entities. Staff has made some initial contacts with the Fire
Department, School District, and Lake Haven Utility District in their interest in accessing the system
and potential sharing costs and/or facilities to expand the coverage area. In addition, City will continue
seeking grant opportunities to expand the network.

PUBLIC ACCESS ELEMENT
The purpose of this pilot project is to determine the feasibility of providing a citywide broadband access
system at an affordable price for the general user but without public subsidy. This will require the city
to test technology, customer needs, as well as the financial feasibility.
Technology Test: To provide citywide fee-based service, the technology must provide a
carrier grade service, provide secure and reliable accesses; is expandable and built on
standard technology that is supportable and with good chance of forward compatibility.
Financial Feasibility Test: To be financially feasible, the system must allow us to get clear
understanding of capital and operating costs; service demand and appropriate pricing;
customer billing and payment system; and the ability to remain competitive in the long term.
Public pilot network structure overview:
. The pilot will consist of wireless network access points in two or three areas of the city with mixed
demographics.
. Access points will be connected to a central location (network hub -- City Hall) through City
installed fiber or other wireless/wired connections.
. Network hub will be equipped with systems for accounting, access, and authentication and will
provide other basic ISP services (E-mail, web hosting).
. The network hub will have a gateway to the Internet.
. City and will make the network available to any registered user at no cost during the testing period
and for a period of two months after system reach stability.
. Paid subscription will start thereafter with a targeted fee of $24.95 per month.
. City will provide network equipment on a free loaner basis during the pilot period.
. A paid subscriber can keep the equipment at no charge with a one-year subscription.
. Professional installation will be available at user's cost.
. City will provide customer service during business hours.
Project components and cost estimate
1. Special client equipment for network access
2. Access Point equipment (Radios, APs, antennas, amplifiers,
Power supply, cables)
3. Network Backhaul (fiber optic line, twisted pair, or point to
point wireless bridge to connect access points to the central
network)
4. Hub equipment: servers, switches, firewall, routers
5. Office support software: for user security, authorization,
accounting, access, payment, and traffic monitoring

Wireless Broadband (Wi-Fi) - Proof of Concept
Date:
To:
Policy Question
Should the City proceed with developing a "proof of concept" pilot project to determine the viability of
providing citywide wireless broadband services.
Background
Many communities had long ago determined that universal and affordable access to broadband internet
service is essential to their community's long term economic vitality. Until recently, few communities
could afford to provide broadband service at an affordable price to their citizens. With the advancement
of wireless technology and the decrease in deployment costs, communities large and small are actively
deploying Wi-Fi based broadband services.
The attached whitepaper provides more detailed background information and a glimpse at what
communities around the country are doing. Using experiences from some of these communities, staff
developed a set of assumptions and a preliminary financial performa for a citywide broadband network,
and believes it is feasible for the City to provide the service at a very reasonable rate and recover its
investment in 3 - 4 years.
Before the discussion of a citywide Wi-Fi project, the City had a plan to deploy a wireless solution for
the police department funded with COPS grant. The grant and city's matching fund total $lOOk, with a
spending deadline of May 31, 2005. While this grant can not be used for non-police purpose, it could
cover the police portion of a Wi-Fi project cost.
Staff Recommendation
The performa suggests a citywide wireless broadband service is financially viable. But it is imperative
for the City to perform a "Proof of Concept" pilot project to test the assumptions in the performa. If the
Council approves this idea, staff will develop the proposed scope and cost for the pilot, and return to
Council for approval and any funding. To meet the COPS grant deadline, and more importan~ly to
develop the necessary knowledge and skills, staff further recommends performing and managing the pilot
project internally. We believe it will provide the best knowledge base for the city to make the citywide
project decision later.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDA nON:
Direct staff to develop the scope and cost associated with the "proof of concept" project for the
deployment of a city-wide Wi-Fi network. Incorporate the necessary funding in the 2005 Carryforward
Budget Adjustment for the Committee to consider at its Februa~ meeting.

Introduction
The internet revolution was an incredible boon to the overall strength of the u.S. economy in the
mid 90's. While the bust of the dot com bubble has dampened market exuberance, internet
applications continue to evolve and expand. New applications such as high quality graphics,
audio, and yideo require a much larger pipeline to accommodate the uninhibited flow of
intensive digital data that come :with such applications. Therefore, the availability of b~ndwidth
is what separates a community that is able and ready to reap the full benefits from the next level
of technology infused economic growth and those are not.
In a 2001 study, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter found that over 70% of the U.S. population have
multiple choices in broadband access. However, only 10% elected to use it. The high costs
involved are believed to prevent the universal adaptation of broadband. Many communities had
long ago determined that universal and affordable access to broadband service is essential to
their community's long term economic vitality; Until recently, few communities could afford the
level of subsidies required to provide broadband service at an affordable price.
With advancements in both performance and cost of wireless technology, affordable broadband
is now possible. Not only is wireless becoming a cost effective alternative to fixed-line solutions
for broadband access, it also opens the door for unprecedented mobility and efficiency for a wide
range of applications for institutions, governments, businesses, and individual users. The type of
wireless technology that is best delivers these services is debatable; however, with the level of
acceptance it has achieved, there's little question that wireless technology will be a key element
of the global broadband fabric in the near future.
Today, communities across the nation both large and small are aggressively acquiring this
technology to enhance their appeal for economic development and quality of life. The question
is no longer if government should facilitate its availability, affordability, reliability of broadband
connectivity, but what role it should play and when to take action.
I
What is Broadband?
At its most basic level, "broadband" refers to the transmission of multiple communications
signals via a single physical pathway. The physical pathway can use one or more transmission
media, such as copper/coaxial wire, optical fiber or radio spectrum. The communications signal
can be voice, data, video, music, or other format. In comparison, a "baseband" connection
allows the analog transmission of only one communication signal over a single pathway.
Speed is also an important part of the definition, and it is measured both coming and going.
Downstream speeds of 1.54 Megabytes per second (Mbps) or higher deliver broadband services
like streaming video, interactive online games and downloads of high-resolution graphics, music
and video clips like movie trailers. Because of the nature of these particular applications, the
upstream transmission requirement for these services can be far less. On the other hand, 1.54
mbps may be too slow to support high bandwidth applications like video on demand.
Throughput speed is in the eye of the beholder, however, and some organizations are willing to
include far slower rates in their definition.
Broadband has become synonymous with high speed Internet connectivity. This service is
provided in multiple ways, with cable modem and Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) being the
most common. Other broadband delivery mechanisms include fiber optic, fixed wireless, digital
broadcast, third generation wireless, satellite and a more recent phenomenon, Wi-Fi (wireless
fidelity).
Wireless Technologies
There are many wireless technologies. The table below shows those available today or in the
near future that deliver broadband access.

Under Wi-Fi, there are various "flavors" utilizing different radio frequencies. Most wireless
equipment use the following two bands of unlicensed frequencies.

connection
The 2.4GHz is a multi-path, very high frequency that can pass though concrete, brick, steel, but
is challenged by foliage or other material that absorbs radiation (water resonance). The 5GHz
technology is very similar, but has limited absorption from foliage. However it also has a
decreased coverage area.
Wi-Fi IWLAN Hardware/Software Architecture
A wireless network generally consists of Access Points (AP), Gateways, Antennas, and Wi-Fi
receIvers.
Access Points are radio transmitter and receivers that communicate with the other Wi-Fi
transmitter and receivers in edge devices like laptops, PDAs or Wi-Fi Phones.
Antennas are an important part of a Wi-Fi network, allowing direction of the network a certain
way, or having it open to all directions.
Gateways are access points that are also connected through hardwiring to other networks.
Wi-Fi Software
There are several layers of software that are needed in a Wi-Fi network for security,
compression, authentication, accounting, design tools and maintenance.
Wi-Fi Limitations
Shared Frequency:
Wi-Fi frequencies are not licensed and can be used by anyone for any purpose. This increases the
chance of interference amongst Wi-Fi equipment and other appliances. It also increases the
security concerns of the system.
Distance:
The FCC allows a maximum of I-Watt output power from any Wi-Fi device, making it less able
to penetrate buildings, walls or cover a long distance.
Bandwidth:
As the number of users increases, the bandwidth available to each person reduces. An 802.11 b
Wi-Fi network, which provides a maximum of 11 MBPS can only effectively handle 3-6 users at
a gIven.
3
Demand and Competitive Environment
Like any business venture, a citywide Wi-Pi operation has inherent business risks. Knowledge,
skills, planning, and sound management practices provide the best protection against business
risk. The chosen business model must ensure the City's ability to have a good handle on these
factors. In addition to the operational risks, the current broadband service providers are all
telecommunication giants with deep financial resources. Should the City decide to provide
citywide service directly or indirectly, it needs to be ready for both political and financial
challenges.
The table below shows the primary players of high-speed Internet service in the area and their
monthly fees. Even the least expensive service will cost $40 per month. In comparison, dialup
services are available at as little as $7 per month. Wireless broadband "hot spots" are only
available at a few locations; however, many are free in coffee shops, bookstores, and hotels.
We have not seen evidence that communities that offer free or cheaper Wi-Fi broadband services have
affected prices of commercial service providers. However, service bundling, enhanced speed, and richer
internet service features are very common and could also affect competition.

T e of Service

Dialup service
In addition to business risks, the high tech industry is also subject to the risk of changing
technology. A new system deployed today can easily become a "legacy" system tomorrow, and
lose its competitive edge against faster, cheaper, more reliable, and more efficient systems
tomorrow. The "window of opportunity" for this generation of Wi-Pi equipment, we believe, is
between 3 - 4 years. By this time, the more robust WiMax or better equipment will very likely
be widely affordable and can provide more reliable signals, much broader bandwidth, and lower
overall operating costs due to fewer required units in the infrastructure. Therefore, to remain
competitive, the system will need to be able to pay for itself within 3 years and continue to
upgrade every 3 years or so. It needs to build on a common platfonn to have the best chance of
support and compatibility for future equipment.
With these considerations in mind, we believe a public service as well as a financial case can be
made for a citywide Wi-Pi broadband network.

I Total Household'
As shown in the very performa above, with a monthly fee of $24.95, assuming a 5% rollout
subscription, and ramping up to 35% households over a five-year period, a citywide Wi-Fi could
be self-sustaining financially and provide cheaper broadband access for a number of city
operations and potentially other governmental and educational organizations.

Business Model
There has been a long history and many examples of government broadband service. Most of
these communities operate the service as part of or in conjunction with their electric utilities.
Some set up a separate utility to provide broadband service. The provision of Wi-Fi is less
consistent at this time. As shown in Appendix 2, the two-dozen or so cities/communities in the
U.S. have approached it differently. Some cities decided to totally leave it to the private sector.
Seattle's CTO was quoted, saying that the city government may be poorly suited to oversee
network security and customer service, and "with the advent of new wireless technologies like
the Wi-Max standard, in which transmitters could send signals 30 miles instead of 300 feet, the
city risks adopting a system destined for obsolescence." For those communities that have
decided to take on more active roles, the following are three typical models.
1. Public Utility Model
City/community owned/operations system. Can be a single entity or composed of different
companies that provide different parts of the value chain: ownership,
operations/maintenance, services and support, settlement and billing, marketing and sales.
Objectives
To provide affordable, universal broadband service at a self-funded basis.
Focused on quality of service, security, and at a breakeven or slightly better price.
Funding
Governmental grants
General governmental funds
Borrowing from internal utility funds
External borrowing (LaC, notes, or bonds)
Advantages
Have full control over policy and pricing to achieve intended goals.
Have full control over security of the system, particularly if public safety agencies
will be part of the users.
Access to the ROWand other city and government owned properties, including
fiber lines and conduits.
Results in a high quality of service and secure network.
Disadvan tages
Ability to adapt quickly to changing business environment.
New line of business for the City; need to acquire the knowledge and skills
2. Free Community Wireless Network
Objectives
Provide free wireless access for citizens
Mainly used by citizens for low bandwidth activities for short periods
Lower reliability and security because it is viewed as an amenity
Used for economic development, often in more historic areas
Funding
Government funding! grants
Foundation grants, fundraising efforts in the community
Exchange access to governmental properties and governmental business accounts
for a private operator to build and provide limited free access in certain hot zones.
6
Advantages
No direct governmental investment, and thus no risk
Little concern over level of service
Provides wireless service
May help revitalize certain areas in a community.
Disadvantages
Network security and reliability is uncertain.
Cannot be securely and consistently used to enable Digital City applications
If privately owned, city will have no control/influence of pricing thus achieve the
goal of universal access
3. Cooperative Wholesale Model
Objectives
Provide network connections for all government agencies at cost, thereby saving
taxpayer money. .
Sell excess capacity at wholesale prices to private providers who then retail wireless
services to businesses and individual consumers.
Funding
Local governmental fund
State and federal grants
Revenue by selling excess capacity wholesale to wireless Internet service providers,
existing te1cos, etc.
External borrowing
Advantages
Share risk and profit with other government agencies
Provide base for universal access
Does not directly compete with commercial service providers.
Saves government offices, schools, and hospitals money
Retain control of network security
Retain control of level of service
Influence of retail price
Disadvantages
Multiple government decision process can be slow and inefficient for a high tech
businesses
Multiple entities with different missions/objectives

Legal Environment
Does a Washington code city have the authority under current law to offer Wireless Fidelity
(WiFi) service to the public? The brief answer is yes. Under current federal and state law, a
Washington city may provide WiFi services to the public.
Analysis
Washington State Law
The Legislature has authorized cities and towns to provide certain utilities such as electricity,
gas, water, sewerage, and solid waster services. See RCW 35.92.010, 35.92.020, 35.92.050,
35A.80.0l0. But the question arises whether the list ofpennitted utilities set forth in statute is
exclusive. This was considered in City o/Issaquah v. Teleprompter Corp., 93 Wn.2d 567, 611
P.2d 741 (1980). The court found that providing cable television service was of appropriate
local concern to be the subject of city legislation, and that the state had not preempted the field.
!d. at 572-575. Issaquah establishes that code cities do not need express statutory authority to
exercise their legislative authority.
However, code cities are not exempt from legislative control. Massie v. Brown, 84 Wn.2d 490,
492,527 P.2d 476 (1974). A city ordinance will be invalid (1) if a general statute preempts city
regulation of the subject or (2) ifthe ordinance directly conflicts with a statute. Heinsma v. City
o/Vancouver, 144 Wn.2d 556,561,29 P.3d 709 (2001).
State law broadly defines "telecommunications" as "the transmission of infonnation by wire,
radio, optical cable, electromagnetic, or other similar means." RCW 80.04.010. This definition
would encompass WiFi service. A telecommunications company under state law "includes
every corporation, company, association, joint stock association, partnership and person, their
lessees, trustees or receivers appointed by any court whatsoever, and every city or town owning,
operation or managing any facilities used to provide telecommunications for hire, sale, or resale
to the general public within this state." RCW 80.04.010 (emphasis added). Although these
statutes neither expressly pennit nor expressly prohibit cities from providing telecommunications
services, the definition of telecommunications company includes cities. This would support the
position that cities are not preempted from offering such services.
The scope of a municipal corporation's powers also may depend on whether the powers are
governmental or proprietary. Hire v. Pub. Util. Dist. 2, 112 Wn.2d 456,459, 772 P.2d 481
(1989). Proprietary powers are more broadly defined than governmental powers. Where a
municipal corporation is authorized to conduct a business, it may exercise its business functions
in much the same way as a private entity. City o/Tacoma v. Taxpayers o/Tacoma, 108 Wn.2d
679,694, 743 P.2d 793 (1987). The provision of a product or service to the public - such as
water, electricity, or telecommunications - is a proprietary rather than a governmental, function
of a city or county. Id. at 694. See also AGO 2003 No. 11.
Federal Law
The status of cities is similar under federal law. Cities are authorized under the
Telecommunication Act of 1996, 110 Stat. 70,47 US.c. Sec. 253, (the Act) to provide
telecommunications services, but a state may prohibit its political subdivisions from providing
telecommunication services under state law. A recent United States Supreme Court decision,
8
Nixon v. Missouri Municipal League, 541 u.S. 125, 124 S. Ct. 1555, 158 LEd.2d 291 (2004),
has made it clear that political subdivisions of a state are not protected entities under Section
253(a) of the Act which states:
No State or local statute or regulation, or other State or local legal requirement,
may prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the ability of any entity to provide
any interstate or intrastate telecommunications service.
The Nixon case arose out of the enactment of a statute by the General Assembly of Missouri
prohibiting political subdivisions of the state from providing or offering for sale a
telecommunication service. MRS Section 392.410 (7). A variety of municipal entities petitioned
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for an order declaring the Missouri statute
unlawful and preempted under Section 253 of the Act.
The FCC refused to declare the Missouri statute preempted. In re Missouri Municipal League,
16 FCC Rcd. 1157,2001 WL 28068 (2001). The FCC concluded that "the tenn 'any entity' in
section 253(a) ... was not intended to include political subdivisions ofthe state, but rather
appears to prohibit restrictions on market entry that apply to independent entities subject 0 state
regulation."z It also relied on the principle of Gregory v. Ashcroft, 501 U.S. 452, 111 S.Ct. 2395,
115 LEd.2d 410 (1991), that Congress needs to be clear before it constrains traditional state
authority to order its government. 16 FCC Red., at 1169. The Supreme Court ofthe United
States sided with the FCC and the Missouri General Assembly. Nixon, at 1560.
2005 Legislation
The report over the last several years has been that Congress would take on a major overhaul of
the 1996 Telecommunications Act during 2005. To date, however, nothing comprehensive has
been introduced to Congress. Similarly, no bills have been introduced yet this year in the
Washington State Legislature to address the issue of municipal telecommunications services.
Conclusion
Under current federal and state law, a Washington code city may provide WiFi services to the
public. Although there is no express authority under Washington law for a city to provide
telecommunications services to the public, a code city possesses all of the legislative powers of
the state unless preempted or in conflict with state law. Federal law likewise authorizes
municipal entities to provide telecommunications serviGes. States may, however, prohibit the
provision of telecommunications services by political subdivision within the state. In the
absence of such a statute, though, a Washington code city may provide these services, including
WiFi service, to the public.
2 The FCC relied on its own earlier order resolving a challenge to a comparable Texas law, In re Public Utility
Commission of Texas, 13 FCC Red. 3460,1997 WL 603179 (1997), as well as the affirming opinion of the United
States Court of Appeals for the district of Columbia Circuit, Abilene v. FCC, 164 F.3d 49 (1999).

- Operate as a self sustaining utility/business enterprise
- City invests in the infrastructure
- City can operate or contract out part or all services
. Free Community Access
- City funded or City/Private jointly funded and operated
syste m
- Depends on funding sources, it may not be city-wide
- Minimum/low guarantee of availability, service level, or
secu rity
. Cooperative Consortium/Wholesale
- Jointly funded by government/educational organizations
- Serve participating entities' needs
- Sell excess capacity to wireless ISPs

Legal Environment
. Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 authorizes cities to provide
telecommunications services.
. Washington code cities are not preempted by state statute from
operating telecommunications services for hire, sales, or resale to
the general public within the state.
. Rumors over the past few years indicated that an overhaul of the
1996 Telecommunications Act would be introduced in 2005. No
comprehensive bills have been introduced yet.
. Legal issues will need to be monitored and researched as the
business plan is developed.

Next Steps
. The Performa suggests the potential viability of a Wi-Fi service
. To validate the assumptions, staff recommends a proof of concept "pilot project"
. The City has a COPS grant for PS wireless project; we must proceed
immediately
. To leverage the grant, staff recommends we start the pilot project at the same
time
. With the committee's approval, staff will develop and bring a specific scope and
cost of the pilot project back to Council at Feb 22 FEDRAC with the carry-
forward budget adjustment.
