Mor!?an U(:Fellyn: Mr. L1cwellyn urged the Committee to look forward into the future and purchase the Kilworth
Property. The time is now to get that property. This is an unprecedented opportunity.

off-leash dog park in Federal Way.
Chri~topher Ochs: Mr. Ochs is a First Class Boy Scout. He is working on a citizenship merit badge. lIe attended the
meeting to learn about Civic duties. lIe chose to learn about French Lake Park, and wanted to thank all of the
citizens that he learned from.
Bob Ke!lQgg. Barbara Reid: Opposes use of French Lake Park as an off-leash dog area.
H. David Kaplan: Spoke in favor of a compromise. He suggested creating a fenced gated area that is exclusively for
off-leash dogs, using the remaining area as a general use park.
Marilyn Kellogg: Ms. Kellogg stated that many people wanted Federal Way to become their own City so they could
govern their own community, and not have the County do it for them. Many of her neighbors were surprised to hear
that a problem with a chronic barking dog had to go through King County and not City of Federal Way officials.
Ms. Kellogg believes that if the City Code Compliance Officer had the responsibility to resolve this problem, the
situation would have been resolved much sooner. A city of 85,000 people needs its local laws enforced locally.
Council member Burbidge clarified that the notices posted at the park are not official.
COMMISSION COMMJ.:NT - None
APPROVAL OF SUMMARY
Council members Dovey and Ferrell moved to accept the May meeting minutes as written. Motion passed.
BUSINESS ITEMS
French Lake Park - Future Plans
Ms. Sanders reported that this item came to staffs attention from residents that requested that staffreview the Park
Capital Plan, and the sequence of projects that are listed on that plan. French Lake Park is listed for master planning
in thc year 2009-2010. Ms. Sanders reviewed the background history of French Lake Park. A Maintenance
Agreement was developed between Lakehaven and the City of Federal Way. Lakehaven has agreed that thc City
may continuc to use the Parcel as a public park. Lakehaven may revoke authority for public use of any or all of
Parcel B for park purposes with 30 days notice. Ms. Sanders pointed out that the Chair of the Parks and Recreation
Commission is not comfortable asking Council Committee to take aetion tonight without the Parks Commissions
input. Council member Dovey stated that he preferred to take action, and not bring this back to the Parks

Commission. This has been going on for too long, and a decision needs to be made. Council member Ferrell was in
agreement. This item was discussed at a previous Parks and Recreation Commission meeting. Ms. Sanders stated
that what was discussed was the long range planning that needed to happen. They did not discuss immediate action
that could take place, and that is what staff wanted to discuss with the Parks and Recreation Commission. Council
member Dovey stated that it is very apparent that thcre is a need for a dog park in Federal Way. It seems logical to
make this an off-leash dog park on a trial basis. Council member Ferrcll thanked everyone that camc to speak
publicly about the issue on both sides. He agrces that something needs to happcn short term. It bothers him that
people are being forced to be lawbreakers. Deputy Mayor Kochmar stated that she is in the park quite a bit, and it
seems to be a use that has developed over time. She thanked the community for stepping forward and policing the
parks. She also agreed that that this should bc done on an interim basis, and brought back to the Parks Commission
for their review. Council membcr Dovey stated that whcn this goes forward to full Council, the citizens needed to be
aware that this eould change in the future. Council member Dovey motioned to accept option 2, Council member
Fcrrell seconded. Council member Ferrell moved to amend the motion. Council member Dovey withdrew his
motion. Council member Ferrell moved to allow off-leash use of French Lake Park on a trial basis during the
interim for a period of 12 months, while the Park Plan is being prepared. Have this matter forwarded to full
council on June 21, 2005 and forwarded to Parks and Recreation Commission at their August 4 meeting.
Toward the end of that period, in concert with the Park Plan, conduct an analysis of whether this trial has
been successful, and whether the use should be continued, discontinued, or moved to another location.
Council member Dovey seconded. Motion passed. Council member Burbidge apprcciated the testimony this
evening. It is clearly an issuc that needs to be dealt with very seriously and carefully. The suitability of the park,
Lakchaven's future plans and thc potential costs all necd to be taken into consideration.
Council member Dovey moved to move item F. and place it before item B. Ferrell seconded. Motion passed.
Animal Control Discussion
Ms. Wang introduced Walter Washington From King County Animal Control. Ms. Wang provided some history and
background information about thc City's Animal Control Services. She stated that there are 38 cities in King
County. 33 of those cities are contracting with King County Animal Control. The agreement provides that King
County will issue and rcccive aU animal license fecs gcncratcd in Federal Way. The Agreement also requires the city
to adopt animal control codes that are thc same as King County. The system covers over 2,200 square miles. There
is an estimated cat and dog population of760,000. Approximately 138,796 are licensed. Because the service is
countywide, the level of service performed is limited. King County Animal Control has stated they could provide an
enhanced level of service. For $60 an hour, the City of Federal Way could have a dedicated officer in Fedcral Way
during the contracted hours. Ms. Wang also stated if there is specific enforcement issues, King County Animal
Control could be contacted to provide special code enforcement at no additional cost to the city. The estimated setup
cost for operating our own animal control is $100,000. The projected annual operation cost is $250,000 per year.
Mr. Washington stated there are seven animal control officers for all of King County. Hc explained the process for
responding to service ealls. Mr. Washington explained the shared officer program. Two cities would enter into an
agreement to sponsor dedicated scrvices. This would enable the city to call their own officer, and they would receive
a quicker response. The city would pay for the Employec; the county would provide the trucks, shelter and
everything else. The city does not have to partner with another city; they could pay the whole bill for their own
offieer. The officer would report to King County Animal Control, and be dispatched to the City of Federal Way.
Authorizinl! Resolution for Grant for West Hvlebos Boardwalk
Ms. Sanders stated shc has started thc process to apply for a grant for the West HyJebos Boardwalk. The Authorizing
Resolution is a required part of the application. Council member Dovey moved to authorize a resolution to apply
to lAC for funding assistance from the Land and Water Conservation Fund in the amount of $250,000 for
design and construction of the West Hylebos Wetlands Boardwalk and forward to City Council on June 21
for approval. Ferrell seconded. Motion passed.
A!!reement between the City of Federal Wav and Public Health-Seattle & Kin!! County for the Medicaid
Administrative MATCH Pro\?ram
Ms. Allen-Mpyisi reportcd that the Birth to Three Developmcntal Center Executive Director approached staff asking
if the City would be interested in participating in the Medicaid Administrativc MATCH program, which would allow
them to use their Human Services General Fund grant award as matching funds to earn Medicaid Administrative
MATCH funds through thc Medicaid Administrative MATCH Program. If the City allowed Birth to Three to use
these funds, the City would have the ability to leverage the grant and receive a 1: 1 match through the Medicaid
Administrative MATCH program. This would allow Birth to Three to expand and enhance its services to Medicaid-

eligible clients in Federal Way. The City would enter into a separate contract with Birth to Three referencing the
proposed agreement with Public Health Seattle-King County. Birth to Three would still be required to adhcrc to the
terms of their contract with the City. Council member Dovey moved to recommend that the City enter into an
agreement with Public Health Seattle~King County to enable Birth to Three Development Center to use its
Human Services General Fund award totaling $21,000 to earn Medicaid Administrative MATCH funds
through the Medicaid Administrative MA TCR program, and forward to the full City Council and place this
item on the June 21conscnt agenda. Ferrell seconded. Motion passed.
Joint Interlocal Al!reement Ree:ardinl! the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Prol!ram
Ms. 0 'Donnell stated that City staff along with city staff from Renton and Shoreline has been negotiating with King
County to form an Interlocal agreement to stabilize the County costs of administering the program charged to thc
cities and retain as much local control as possible. Ms. O'Donnell stated that the City Attorneys officc has reviewed
the agreement, and is making some technical changes to the agrcement. Staff from the cities of Federal Way, Renton
and Shoreline also would like to strengthcn the language regarding the amount of money that the City would keep.
During the process they realized that they had not discussed futurc changcs to public service limits. Ms. O'Donnell
requestcd that if an acccptable agreement can be reached, that committcc would consider authorizing the Interlocal
Agreement to go forward, with thc final Interlocal Agreement being presented at the July 5 City Council meeting.
Council membcr Dovey requested that Ms. O'Donnell give a brief presentation of the Interlocal agreement at the
July 5 Council meeting. This item is to bc placed on the business agenda. Council member Dovey moved to
authorize the City Manager to sign an Interlocal agreement regarding the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program for continued participation in the King County CDBG Consortium for the 2005-
2008 period that incorporates the clements of the Joint Agreement Cities counter proposal to King County
outlined in the April 25, 2005, memorandum to the Human Services Commission from Angelina Allen-Mpyisi
and forward to the full City Council for consideration at the July 5, 2005 City Council meeting. Council
member Ferrell seconded. Motion passed.
Steel Lake Park Concession Bid A ward
Mr. Reuter reported that a Request for Proposal was advertised for eoncessionaire services at Stecl Lake Park on
June 4,2005. One proposal was received from H&P Concessions. References have been checked. Two local
Federal Way residents operate H&P Concessions. The contract is a one-year agreement with the ability to extend the
term. Council member Ferrell moved to authorize the City Manager to enter in to an Agreement for Park
Concessionaire Services with R&P Concessions for the 2005 summer season at Steel Lake Park and forward
to Full Council for approval on June 21, 2005. Dovey seconded. Motion passed.
Information Only - Pocket Bikes/Mini-motorcvcles
Chief Kirkpatrick thanked Christopher Ochs, she stated he was extremely sharp and very articulate. Pocket Bikes do
meet the definition ofa motorcycle as outlined in RCW 46.04.330, but they do not meet many of the equipment
requirements for motorcycles that may be legally operated on roadways. They arc not legal to be ridden anywhere on
public streets in Federal Way. Because they are so popular, they receive many service calls about them. The
department takcs an enforcement action perspective. Their goal is to solve the problem through education. They
prefer not to cite people. There is an enforcemcnt option where they will cite adults if they do not get compliance
from them. They do not tickct children. A child is someone that is IS years or younger. In this ease they will
confiscate the bike and talk to their parents. Couneil member Dovey feels the City of Federal Way should take a
strong position on this issue. Council member Ferrell agreed with Council member Dovey, but feels that it is
important to educate the community. It needs to be outlined very clearly that they are not legal. The bikes are legal
on private property. There are businesses in Federal Way that sell these bikes, and need to educatc thcm that these
are illegal. They necd to be notified. Council member Burbidge questioned whether or not this is the City's role to
educate thcse businesses. Ms. Pearsall answered that there are liability issues if we take on this role. How would we
enforce it? Deputy Mayor Kochmar suggested having police officers speak at thc schools. Committee rcquested that
staff add the Rules of pocket bikes to the next City newsletter.

Proposed CO II cation Process
Policy Question:
What process should be used to allocate 2006 Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) capital funds?
Background:
As outlined in the attached Human Services Commission memorandum (Attachment 1), the
2006 CDBG Capital application process has been delayed due to negotiations with King
County for future CDBG administration. Allocations for Federal Way 2006 capital projects
are due to King County in September. Due to the abbreviated time line and limitations on
capital projects, the Human Services Commission is recommending that 2006 capital funds
be allocated to existing capital projects.
Options:
1. Do not open for applications for 2006 CDBG capital projects. Identify existing projects
that qualify for funding.
2. Hold an abbreviated process for 2006 COSG capital funds and request concept
papers for projects serving Federal Way.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends Option 1 because the new Community Center will benefit Federal Way
seniors and the Multi-Service Center Employee Development Services program is successful
and continues to serve a need for Federal Way residents (Attachment 2). A list of additional
sub-regional and/or existing projects will be reviewed by the Human Services Commission in
July to make recommendations to the City Council on 2006 capital projects by September.
Committee Recommendation
Forward option _ to the full City Council for consideration at the July 19, 2005, City
Council meeting.

Proposed COBG Capital Allocation Process for 2006
Policy Question:
What process should be used to allocate 2006 Community Development Block Grant (COBG)
capital funds?
Background:
In the past, the application process for 2006 projects would have begun in March of 2005 with
applications due in May. The City of Federal Way has been in negotiations with King County
regarding participation in the King County COBG Consortium for the 2006-2008 program years.
These negotiations, and the over haul of the Consortium, have delayed the annual allocation
process for Federal Way's COBG capital funds. If an acceptable agreement can be reached,
Federal Way will remain in the King County COBG Consortium for the 2006-2008 period.
Federal Way allocated COSG public service funds for two years in 2005 and will review existing
projects for continued funding in 2006 at the July and August Human Services Commission
meetings.
Under the proposed new agreement, the City will be limited to two stand alone capital projects
with only one that can be a construction project that triggers federal wage requirements.
Federal Way may choose to add funding to capital projects funded by the Consortium and/or
add funding to existing Federal Way capital projects that are open for the same activity.
Estimates have not been received from King County for 2006 yet due to the negotiations. City
staff estimates that approximately $345,000 will be available to allocate in 2006 under the new
COBG Interlocal Agreement if funding is not reduced by Congress. In 2005, Federal Way
funded a COBG capital project to fund the improvements at the new Federal Way Community
Center that would benefit seniors. The project included commercial quality built-in kitchen
equipment for the senior lunch program and Meals on Wheels, hydro lifts for assisted entry and
exit from the lap and leisure pools, and a physical therapy table for the senior health
assessment room. The COBG project was amended in 2005 to cover the development costs
related to the portion of the facility to benefit seniors so that the funds could be spent within the
grant timeframe. During the amendment process, the Parks and Recreation staff indicated that
they would be requesting additional capital funds in 2006 to cover the cost of construction for
senior improvements. The original application was for approximately $100,000. This would be
the stand alone construction project that triggers federal wage requirements if Federal Way
chooses to fund construction of the senior improvements at the Federal Way Community
Center with the 2006 COBG program.
Federal Way also funded the Employee Development Services by a Community Based
Development Organization program at the Multi-Service Center in 2005. As noted in the
previous staff report, this program was implemented in the fourth quarter of 2003 and has been
successful in helping Federal Way residents obtain or improve their employment. This program
Page I of3
~-L
is funded by COBG capital funds and if Federal Way chooses to fund it as part of the 2006
COBG program would be the second stand alone COBG capital for Federal Way. The 2005
application was for $103,050.
Staff recommends that the Commission consider recommending continued funding of these
projects. The Community Center project would invest COBG funds into a facility that will serve
Fede'ral Way seniors. The Multi-Service Center Employee Development Services by a CBOO
program has been successful and continues to fill a need to assist low-income Federal Way
residents obtain or improve employment. If the Commission concurs, staff will work with the
projects to complete COBG applications for consideration at the July Commission meeting.
Staff would also prepare a list of existing projects that may be considered for funding for 2006
and provide an update on the process for 2006 allocations to South King County regional
projects that could be considered for funding with the remaining COBG capital funds, estimated
to be $145,000. Preliminary 2006 COBG capital recommendations would be developed at the
July Commission meeting and a pUblic hearing would be scheduled at the August Commission
meeting.
The alternative to funding the above projects would be to open for an abbreviated application
process. In June, staff would advertise for concept papers for 2006 COBG capital projects. In
July, staff would work with Human Service Commission Ad Hoc Committee(s) to review the
concept papers and identify questions of the applicants. Summaries of the projects with any
technical issues, responses to questions, and staff recommendations for funding would be
brought to the August Commission meeting. A public hearing would be scheduled at a special
meeting of the Human Services Commission on August 29, 2005.
Options:
1. Do not open for applications for 2006 COBG capital projects. Identify existing projects
that qualify for funding,
Advantaqes:
· Funds existing projects that have already been identified as serving a need in Federal
Way;
· Eliminates additional work for agencies for limited funds if existing projects are likely to
be funded;
· Federal Way could fund COBG capital projects serving Federal Way that are funded
by the Consortium;
· Expedites the COBG capital process for 2006 while the new King County COBG
Consortium Interlocals are implemented;
· Projects are ready to go to spend COBG capital funds within the 17 months required
by Consortium policies.
Oisadvanta08s:
· Agencies serving only Federal Way residents would not be able to apply for COBG
capital funds for 2006;
· It is unknown how the South King County COBG capital allocations will be made for
consideration of funding sub-regional projects that serve Federal Way residents;
Pa~e 2 of3
1-\-3
2. Hold an abbreviated process for 2006 CDBG capital funds and request concept papers
for projects serving Federal Way.
Advantaaes:
· Agencies serving Federal Way residents would be able to apply for CDBG capital
funds for 2006;
· The City may receive additional capital projects that are ready to go to consider for
funding within the new parameters;
Disadvantaaes:
· A number of concept papers may be submitted with limited funds available and time to
review and make recommendations;
· The Commission/Council may choose to fund the existing projects rather than any
new concepts submitted creating additional work for agencies;
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends Option 1 because the new Community Center will benefit Federal Way
seniors and the Multi-Service Center Employee Development Services by a CBDa is successful
and continues to serve a need for Federal Way residents. A list of additional sub-regional
and/or existing projects will be brought to the Commission in July for consideration when
determining funding amounts for 2006 capital projects.
Commission Recommendation
Forward option _ to the Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Committee
for recommendation to the full Council.

Human Services Commission
Kelli O'Donnell, CDBG Coordinato~
Evaluation of the MSC Employee Development Services Program
Background:
The Human Services Commission identified the need for additional employment services for
Federal Way residents during the 2003 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
allocation process. The Commission proposed requesting applications for employment services
by a Community Based Development Organization (CBDO) when additional 2003 capital funds
became available. The City Council approved the process and during the review of the
proposal received from the Multi-Service Center, the Commission and Council Committee
requested that the program address the following issues:
· Not duplicate employment services already available to Federal Way residents
through the state, county or federal employment programs;
· Be funded as a pilot program with measures of success; and,
· Have minimum of 20% of clients receiving job assessments placed in a job within 12
months.
The program was initially funded for a 12-month period that began on October 1, 2003, and
ended on September 30, 2004. The City of Federal Way funded the program for the remainder
of 2004 to complete the year and funded the program again for 2005 based upon results of the
program for the first 9 months.
The Multi-Service Center CaDO Employee Development Services program has now been
operational for 20 months and staff has met with the Multi-Service Center (MSC) to evaluate the
program. Attached are some highlights of the program that the MSC furnished along with two
success stories. The MSC staff reported that the program is going well and that they have
made adjustments based on their experience over the past 20 months. The original program
was set up for an intake and assessment appointment prior to completing an Individual
Development Plan. When clients were not returning for their next appointment, the program
was adjusted to complete the Individual Development Plan at the initial appointment. The MSC
staff are also working to complete at least one crucial component of their job search at the initial
interview. Depending on the client, this could be the resume, interview skills, and/or job leads.
Making this change has helped to motivate the clients to return and continue working on the
elements of their Individual Development Plan to obtain employment. The Agency also
reported that they are working with clients on their short and long-term goals. This enables
them to help identify short-term jobs so that the client can begin building their job history while
continuing to work with the Multi-Service Center toward their long-term goals. One client of the
Federal Way program took a position as a barista and through continued assistance from the
Multi-Service Center was able to obtain a position as a legal assistant.
The Multi-Service Center confirmed that clients served by the program are not eligible for other
employment benefits. Ninety percent of the clients served are unemployed and do not have
Page 1 of2
f\-(o
financial resources. A few may be at the end of benefits from the State Employment Security
program. The individual employment services such as a resume and interview skills and

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MSC EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT
INFORMATION - MAY 2005
· To date, MSC has served 159 people under this contract. 90% of these people
received a customized individual employment plan AND assistance with at least
one crucial component of their job search (i.e. resume, interviewing skills, job
leads, etc.)
· 90% of Federal Way clients are unemployed and are not being served by other
employment programs. They are not able to navigate the Worksource office at
Auburn when they seek service at MSC. Through the development of a resume,
goals, and interview skills, clients are better able to utilize the services at
Worksource in addition to job referrals at the MSC.
· 78% of the people we served were classified as being extremely low income (0-
30% Median Family Income) according to HUD standards. Another 18% were
classified as being low income (31-50% Median Family Income). Only 3% were
classified as being moderate income (51-80% Median Family Income).
· 35 people obtained jobs through this program. 76% of these jobs were full time
and 60% of them offered benefits.
· The jobs obtained by program participants covered a wide range of diverse
positions. Some of the jobs obtained by participants include:
* Administrative Specialist for King County Courts

· Of the 36 people who obtained employment, 15 received wages of$lO or more

~-<g
. We have recently begun implementing a customer satisfaction survey for
participants who are no longer active in our employment programs. Of the
surveys we have received from Federal Way program participants thus far, 100%
of the respondents stated that they were satisfied with our services and that they
would recommend us to a friend. 100% of the respondents also said that their job
search skills have improved as a result of participating in our program.
The people that we serve would not be able to effectively receive services elsewhere.
Many are on the brink of homelessness, and are having to access services such as food
bank assistance. The employment services we provide decreases the reliance our
participants have on other services funded, in part, by the city of Federal Way. By
helping these individuals improve their ability to obtain employment means that these
individuals ~ some of whom have a criminal background in their past - will be less likely
to negatively impact our community by committing crimes. In addition, by helping
people to become more economically self sufficient through obtaining employment, we
are supporting the economic development of Federal Way. Federal Way currently
experiences a high rate of business leakage. Individuals who become employed as a result
of participating in our program are in a better position to contribute positively to the
economy and are more likely to spend money in our community, thereby improving the
economic livelihood of Federal Way businesses and stimulating our city's overall
economic development.

2005 Dry Cleaning Contract
Policy Question
Should the Council authorize acceptance of Police uniform and plainclothes dry cleaning
services from Regency Cleaners?
Backe:round
Since 1996, the Police Department has provided dry cleaning services for both uniform and
plainclothes duty assignment. Staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Dry Cleaning
Services on OS/21/05, and received three proposals (Bel Custom Cleaners, Regency, Cleaners,
and West Campus Cleaners) as requested by 06/10/05. The proposals were evaluated based on
responsiveness (40%), price (30%), and ability and history (30%). Bel Custom Cleaners was the
most responsive to what was requested in the RFP and provided the lowest bid. However, the
references that were provided were less than favorable. Regency Cleaner, our current contract
holder, was also responsive to what was requested in the RFP. The bid for the services was
slightly higher (4%) than Bel Custom Cleaners. Regency has provided an acceptable service to
the department over the last two years and has been responsive to department requests. West
Campus Cleaners was not responsive to what was requested in the RFP and was notably higher
in price. The references for West Campus Cleaners were very favorable. The below table is
reflective of the outlined selection criteria:

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 11,2005
TO: Parks Recreation, Cultural Services and Public Safety Committee
VIA: David H. + Manager
FROM: Patricia A. Richardson, City Attorney ~#-
SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance Amending Chapter 2, Article ill, Section 2-54 of the
Federal. Way City Code to provide for the certification of seven candidates
on the police eligibility register.
Policv Issues:
Should the City Council pass the proposed Ordinance to amend the current Federal Way
City Code to allow certification of seven candidates on the police eligibility register from
the current Code certification rule of "five eligible persons or 15 percent of the eligible
persons, whichever is greater" in order to comply with the current law and maximize the
number of eligible persons which may be considered under the current law?
Backe:round:
To ensure promotion of police officers on the basis of merit, Chapter 41.12 RCW
established a prototype civil service system which requires that the top candidate on the
civil service register be promoted. Under RCW 41.12.010: "The provisions of this
chapter shall have no application to cities and towns which...sha11...provide for civil
service in the police department by local charter or other regulations which.. . substantially
accomplish the purpose of this chapter."
In response and recognizing the need to give appointing authorities at least a modicum of
discretion, most Washington cities enacted ordinances allowing certification of anywhere
from 3 to 10 candidates and sometimes with a percentage alternative provision (for
example, "the top 5 or the top 15% ofthe eligible register, whichever number is larger").
In 2004, the Washington State Supreme Court ruled that certification of a percentage of
eligible persons gives too much discretion to an appointing authority. Rather, the
Supreme Court determined that the rule of seven, which is the certification of no greater
than six more names than there arc vacancies to be filled, substantial1y accomplishes the
purpose of RCW 41.12.
c-\
To comply with the change in state law, the Federal Way Civil Scrviee Commission
updated Rule 10.3 to reflect the rule of seven at its mecting on September 1,2004, but thc
amendment to the FcdcralWay City Code was inadvertently delayed.
The proposed amendment of Chapter 2 reflects this change in state law. The amendment
is necessary to ensure consistency with the law in the certification of eligible police
candidates on the register.
Options:
Option One. Recommend approval of the proposed Ordinance and forward to full Council
for first reading at the July 19, 2005, City Council Meeting.
Option Two. Suggest modifications to the proposed Ordinance and provide direction to
staff.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Parks, Recreation, Human Services, and Public Safety Council
Committee recommend approval of the proposed amendment to Chapter 2, Article III,
Section 2-54 of the Federal Way City Code and forward to full Council for first reading at
the July 19,2005 City Council Meeting. (Option 1)

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
PARKS, RECREATION AND CULTURAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
DATE:
July 8, 2005
TO:
Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Council Committee
FROM:
Mary Faber, Recreation and Cultural Services Superintendent
VIA:
David Moseley, City Manager
CC:
Donna Hanson, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director
Iwen Wang, Finance Director
SUBJECT: CenterstageTheatre Conservatory Arts Funding
Policy Question: Should the City increase funding support to Centerstage Theatre for 2005/06
to reduce the budget gap and potential cancellation of on-going rentals at the Knutzen Family
Theatre?
Backqround: Earlier this year Centerstage (CS) approached the City to contract with them for
management and operation of the Knutzen Family Theater (KFT). CS stated that they were in a
difficult financial position and were looking for options. Without additional city assistance CS
may not be able to continue in the 05/06 season. The basic proposal requires the City to pay
Centerstage $50k a year and CS is to retain all revenues and pay normal operating expenses
incurred by the theater. This arrangement would relieve CS of its rental payment to KFT, and
potentially generate additional revenues for CS while reducing City subsidy to KFT. CS
believes this may provide long-term financial stability for CS.
In closer look at the budget and proposed operations, staff believes it is not likely the City would
realize any savings through the proposed contract; and it is likely we will see fewer
presentations, reduced programs, and potentially less community access to the KFT.
Separating the management of KFT from DBC can also pose challenges to coordinating the use
of common areas. More importantly, CS's lack of financial stability means increased liability for
the City in this business relationship.
Centerstage is a very important member of Federal Way's performing arts community and is the
primary non-city user of the KFT. If CS discontinues use of the Theatre there would be a
financial impact to the City. Therefore, it is in the City's interest to see CS continue its
operations. City and Centerstage staff discussed the concerns of the contracting proposal and
explored other potential options and agreed that a one-year increase in funding support to CS'
to assist with the bUdget gap for the 2005/06 season would allow Centerstage to regain its
financial footing under the new leadership. This would limit the city's financial exposure and will
not cause disruptions to the DBC and other uses at the KFT.
Two potential sources to consider funding the budget gap on a one-time basis is approve
additional funding to CS from the Arts Commission budget through the Contract For Services
Cultural Arts Programs in 2005/06; or wait until year-end and request one-time funding with any
remaining general operations fund balances.
Options:
~Provide an additional $10k offunding through the Contract for Services Cultural Arts
D Programs for 2005 (the total contract would be $18,000) and $5,000 in 2006 as a one-time
solution to assist with stabilizing the CS budget. Make a motion for the PRHSPS
Committee to approve increasing the CS contract $10k in 2005 and 5k in 2006 and forward
to City Council on July 19 for approval.
2). Provide an additional $10k of funding for 2005 and $5,000 in 2006 as a one~time
solution to assist with stabilizing the CS budget. Make a motion to recommend that the
City Manager review any savings in the City's operational budget and re-direct to CS and
forward to City Council on July 19 for approval.
3). Decline any additional financial support to CS. Make a motion to decline any additional
funds to CS and forward to City Council on July 19 for approval.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the approval of Option 1 and forward to the Parks,
Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Committee for approval on July 11.
Arts Commission Recommendation: The Arts Commission. approved Option 1 on July 7 and
voted to provide an additional 10k of funding through the Contract for Services Cultural Arts
Program in 2005 and 5k in 2006 forward to the PRHSPS Council Committee on July 11 for
approval.
