total.
,/ City funds total 43% made up of Utility Tax Bonds 31 %, General and
Arterial Street Fund 12%.
The 6-year TIP identified $103.4 million in proposed improvements. Assuming

k :\fin \cip\cipplandoc\summary .doc

. This is a combined total of $225.6 million in planned and or desired projects, of
which $150.7 is currently without identified funding.
. Funding Assumptions and Options:
if Future operating surplus will be scarce if any.
if Early retirement of the 1993 Celebration Park acquisition bonds with
excess Utility Tax collected to free up the REET.
if If the Utility Tax is continued at the current 5% level, it will provide
approximately $12 million between 2002 - 2007.
if The projected other sources, primarily REET, will provide approximately
$7 million between 2002 - 2007.
if We can borrow against these revenue streams (REET, Utility Tax) to raise
more capital funds.

Local Government Capital Financing Options
(Also see attached capital funding survey of surrounding cilies.)
The following are typically sources used by municipalities to finance capital
projects. They can be used on a "pay-as-you-go" basis, or in many cases, used to
finance long-term bonds
. All unrestricted general purpose sources
(e.g. Sales, B&O, and Utility Taxes (up to 6%), Admissions Tax and/or
General Fund operating surplus)
. Project Specific Grants
. Impact Mitigation Fees/System Development Charges
. REET
. Arterial Street Fuel Tax
. Local hnprovement Districts
. Sources require voter approval:
./ Property Tax (lid lift and/or excess levy)
./ Utility Tax (over 6%)
. Capital Facilities District (except KC)
Debt Capacity
At the beginning of 2002, the City has the following legal and policy limitations
in the amount of bonds can be issued.
. Legal Limitation:
./ $57 million in Councilmanic Bonds (1.5% of A V less current debt);
./ $56 million in voter approved Excess Levy Bonds (1 %of A V).
. Policy Limitation:
Debt Policy B (10): Debt service to be repaid with operating revenues
should not exceed 8% of the respective operating budget.
./ No general/street operating revenues will be used for debt service in
2002.
./ At 8% of the $30 million general/street operating budget, the amount
could be used for debt service, if available, would be $2.4 million a year,
which could finance between $15 million (10 years (iil 6% interest) to $25
million (20 years (,i! 6% interest) in bonds.

SUMMARY OF COOMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES
GOVERNING CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
The Growth Management Act requires the City to include a Capital Facilities Element in
its Comprehensive Plan. The Capital Facilities Element must include "at least a six-year
plan that will finance such capital facilities within projected funding capacities. . . . n Further,
the GMA mandates that the City "shall perform its activities and make capital budget
decisions in conformity with its comprehensive plan."
Federal Way's Comprehensive Plan contains several goals and policies that speak both
to the City's commitment to provide capital facilities, as well as to the City's general priority
list for the kinds of capital facilities the City will fund. The key goals and policies are
summarized as follows:
. The City will provide capital facilities. and adequate funding for them, to serve both
current needs as well as future growth in the City and its PM.
. The City will give priority consideration to:
(1) capital projects mandated by law;
(2) subsequent phases of phased projects when phase one is fully funded and under
construction;
(3) capital projects that renovate existing facilities or reduce O&M costs;
(4) capital projects that correct existing capital facilities deficiencies or replace worn
out facilities;
(5) capital projects needed to meet concurrency requirements for growth
management
. The City will also give priority consideration to specific types of projects,including:
(1) Transportation projects necessary to maintain specified levels of service;
(2) Parks and recreational facilities, including those in the City Center, community
parks. and future parks in the Potential Annexation Area; and
(3) Civic and cultural facilities in the City Center Core, including a city hall, library,
performing arts complex, and structured parking
. If the City is faced with capital facility funding shortfalls, the City will either:
(1) increase revenues by enacting utility taxes. imposing impact fees. or raising
property tax levy rates; or
(2) decrease the level of service standard. the facility cost, or demand for the service
or facility.
. The City will monitor, review and update its Capital Facilities Plan annually, to respond
to changes in City priorities and budget and financial considerations.

of a new station that is more centrally located in the
north end of the City. This realignment of stations,
response areas and revenues would require closure of -
Station #5 (4966 South 298th).
Second, the Department may have need for an
additional station in the south end of the City in the
vicinity of356th and Pacific Highway. If this area
continues to experience significant commercial
growth, the Department anticipates that the calls for
service will also continue to grow. In this eventuality,
an additional station may be needed to maintain accep-
table response times. The Department has acquired
property in this area through a swap of properties with
Lakehaven Utility District to assure future availability
of a station site.
-)
Any new station should be able to accommodate an
on-duty crew of three fire fighters, with appropriate
living and sleeping quarters. In addition, the structure
should be able to house two engines and an aid car,
with room for growth dictated by LOS demands. It
may also be appropriate to provide a public meeting
room and an office for community policing in new
facilities. The cost ofthese facilities is approximately
$1,500,000. Equipment would be in the range of
$500 000 for a new station in the south end. Equip-
ment' for a new station in the north end would be
provided from the closures of Stations 5 & 6.
Funding Plan
.f
)"
The Fire Department has established a capital reserve
fund for the systematic replacement of all capital
equipment. These reserves are funded from the annual
revenues of the Department. The Department also has
established a goal ofa minimum of three paid fire
fighters on each fire apparatus. Additional staff that
are hired in support of that goal will be funded from
new construction levies. The Department has not
established any funds for purchase of new stations or
associated equipment. These purchases would require
voter approved bonds.
In the Department's annually adopted budget, capital
projects are identified. This capital projects list is up-
dated based on completed projects and changing
Revised December 1998
priorities. This plan adopts by reference the Depart~
ment's Fire Master Plan as well as the annual capital
improvements program update.
6.10 GOALS AND POLICIES
The goals and policies in this section implement the
State's Growth Management Act requirements and the
cWPP's. The City of Federal Way takes responsibility
for implementing only those goals and policies for
services provided by the City.
Special service districts, such as the school, utility,
and fire districts, must implement goals and policies
which are consistent with their respective plans. The
City does intend, however, to closely coordinate the
City's plan with these service districts so that the
citizens of Federal Way receive the highest level of
service possible.
Goal
CFGl Annually update the Capital Facilities Plan to
implement the Federal Way Comprehensive
Plan by coordinating urban services, land use
decisions, level of service standards, and .
financial resources with a fully funded
schedule of capital improvements.
Policies
CFPl
Provide needed public facilities and services
to implement the City's Comprehensive Plan.
CFP2
Support and encourage joint development and
use of community facilities with other govern-
mental or community organizations in areas
of mutual concern and benefit.
CFP3
Emphasize capital improvement projects
which promote the conservation, preserva-
tion, redevelopment, or revitalization of
commercial, industrial, and residential areas
in Federal Way.

Federal Way Comprehensive Plan - Capital Facilities
CFP4 Adopt by reference all facilities plans and
future amendments prepared by other special
districts which provide services within the
City. These plans must be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
CFP5 Adopt by reference the annual update of the
Federal Way Capital Improvement Program
for parks/recreation, surface water manage-
ment, and the Improvement Program.
CFP6 Protect investments in existing facilities
through an appropriate level of maintenance
and operation funding.
CFP7 Maximize the use of existing public facilities
and promote orderly compact urban growth.
Goal
CFG2 To meet current needs for capital facilities in
Federal Way, correct deficiencies in existing
systems, and replace or improve obsolete
facilities.
Balancing existing capital facilities needs with the
need to provide additional. facilities .to serve growth is
a major challenge for Federal Way. It is important to
maintain our prior investments as well as serve new
growth. Clearly, tough priority decisions are facing
Federal Way policy-makers.
Policies
CFP8 Give priority consideration to projects man-
dated by law, and those by State and Federal
agencIes.
CFP9 Give priority consideration to subsequent
phases of phased projects when phase one is
fully funded and under construction.
CFPIO - Give priority consideration to projects that
renovate existing facilities and preserve the
community's prior investment or reduce
maintenance and operating costs.
CFPll Give priority consideration to projects that
correct existing capital facilities deficiencies,
encourage full utilization of existing facili-
ties, or replace worn out or obsolete facilities.
)
CFP12 Give priority to projects where leveraged
monies such as grants and low interest loans
can be used.
Goal
C~3 Provide capital facilities to serve and direct
future growth within Federal Way and its
Potential Annexation Area as they urbanize.
It is crucial to identify, in advance of development,
sites for schools, parks, fire and police stations, major
stonn water facilities, greenbelts. open space. and
road connections. Acquisition of sites for these facili-
ties must occur in a timely maimer and as early as
possible in the overall development of the area.
Otherwise, acquisition opportunities will be missed,
with long tenn functional or [mancial implications.
Policies
:;
CFP13 Provide the capital facilities needed to serve
the future growth anticipated by the Compre-
hensive Plan.
CFP14 Give priority consideration to projects needed
to meet concurrency requirements for growth
management.
CFP15 Plan and coordinate the location .of public
facilities and utilities in advance of need.
CFP16 Implement a concurrency management sys-
tem for which pennits project approval only
after a finding is made that there is capacity
available in the transporta-tion system
sufficient to maintain the adopted level of
service standard.
CFP17 The provision of urban services shall be
coordinated to ensure that areas identified for
urban expansion are accompanied with the
maximum possible use of existing facilities
and cost effective service provisions and

preservation of resources.
CFP18 Coordinate future economic activity with
planning for public facilities and services.
CFP19 Purchase property in the Potential Annexation
Area and keep it in reserve for future City
parks and surface water facilities.
Goal
CFPG4 Provide adequate fundingfor capital
facilities in Federal Way to ensure the
Comprehensive Plan vision and goals are
implemented
)
The GMA requires that the Land Use chapter be
reassessed if funding for capital facilities falls short of
needs. The intent is to ensure that necessary capital
facilities are available prior to. or concurrently with
new growth and development. Capital facilities plans
must show a balance between costs and revenues.
There are essentially five options available for bal-
ancing the capital facilities budget: increase revenues,
decrease level of service standards. decrease the cost
of the facilities. decrease 'the demand for the public
service. and reduce the rate of growth and new
development.
.......
Policies
CFP20 Manage the City of Federal Way's fiscal
resources to support providing needed capital
improvements. Ensure a balanced approach
to allocating financial resources between: (1)
major maintenance of existing facilities; (2) .....
eliminating existing capital facility deficien-
cies; and (3) providing new or expanding
existing facilities to serve new growth.
CFP21 Use the Capital Facilities Plan to integrate all
of the community's capital project resources
including grants, bonds, general funds.
donations, impact fees, and any other
available funding.
\ ) CFP22 Ensure that long term capital financing
strategies and policies are consistent with all
the other Comprehensive Plan elements.
CFP23 Pursue funding strategies that require new
growth and development to pay its fair share
of the cost of facilities that are required to
maintain adopted level of service standards.
One such strategy that should be implemen-
ted in the near tenn is an impact fee program
for parks, and .
CFP24 Promote a more efficient use of all public
facilities by enacting interlocal agreements
which facilitate joint maintenance and opera~
tions ofthose facilities.
CFP25 Use the following available contingency
strategies should the City be faced with
capital facility funding shortfalls:
. Increase revenues by selling general obli-
gation bonds, enacting utility taxes. im-
posing impact fees. and raising property
tax levy rates.
. Decrease level of service standards to a
level that is more affordable.
. Decrease the cost of the facility by chang-
ing or modifying the scope of the project.
. Decrease the demand for the service or
facilities by establishing a moratorium on
development, focus development into
areas where facility capacity is available.
or changing project timing a,nd/or phasing.
CFP26 Aggressively pursue grants or private funds
when available to finance capital facility
projects.
CFP27 Maximize the usefulness of bond funds by
using these monies to the greatest extent
possible as matching funds for grants.
Goal
CFPGS Ensure that the Federal Way Capital Facili-
ties Plan is current and responsive to the
community vision and goals.

~,
Federal Way Comprehensive Plan - Capital Facilities
The role of monitoring and evaluation is vital to the
effectiveness of any planning program and particu-
larly for the Capital Facilities chapter. The City's
revenues and expenditures are subject to economic
fluctuations and are used to predict fiscal trends in
order to maintain the City's adopted level of service
for public facilities. This Capital Facilities Plan will
be annually reviewed and amended to verify that fis-
cal resources are available to provide public facilities
needed to support adopted LOS standards.
Policies
CFP28 Monitor the progress ofthe Capital Facilities
Plan on an ongoing basis, including the
completion of major maintenance projects,
the expansion of existing facilities, and the
addition of new facilities. Evaluate this pro-
gress with respect to trends in the rate and
distribution of growth, impacts upon service
quality, and Comprehensive Plan direction.
CFP29 Review, update, and amend the Capital
Facilities Plan annually. Respond to changes
in the rates of growth, new development
trends, and changing City priorities, budget,
and financial considerations.
-')
Make provisions to reassess the Comprehen-
sive Plan periodically in light of the evolving
Capital Facilities Plan. Take appropriate
action to ensure internal consistency of the
chapters in the plan.
CFP30 Continue to coordinate with other capital
facility and service providers to ensure that
all necessary services and facilities are pro-
vided prior to or concurrent with new growth
and development. ~

SUMMARY OF POLICIES
from the
FEDERAL WAY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Encourage the development of transportation routes and facilities to
serve single family neighborhoods. Special attention should be
given to pedestrian circulation.
Encourage the development of parks and the dedication of open
space in and adjacent to residential areas to preserve the natural
setting of Federal Way.
Encourage development of regional uses in the City Center.
Encourage transformation of Pacific Highway (SR-99) Community
Business corridor into a quality mixed-use retail area. Retail
development along the corridor, exclusive of the City Center,
should be designed to integrate auto, pedestrian, and transit
circulation. Integration of public amenities and open space into
retail and office development should also be encouraged.
Increase public access to shoreline areas provided that private
rights, public safety, and the natural shoreline character are not
adversely affected.
Priority for access acquisition should consider resource desirability,
availability, and proximity of population.
a. A shoreline element in the parks acquisition and
development program should be encouraged so that future
shoreline access is acquired and developed by established
criteria and standards as part of an overall master plan.
General policies.
c. Shoreline recreational facilities and other public access
points should be connected by trails, bicycle pathways, and
other access links where appropriate.
A balanced variety of recreational opportunities should be provided
for people of different ages, health, family status, and financial
ability.

LUP187
Federal Way should extend its trail and bicycle trail system,
particularly as it relates to shorelines, to western Federal Way.
Establish priority areas for public facility and service improvements,
especially for transportation. These priority areas should be
located where public facility and service improvements would
effectively advance Federal Way's growth vision. Priority areas will
shift over time as improvements are installed and an acceptable
level of service is attained.
When and where service deficiencies are identified, the City, along
with service providers, will develop capital improvement programs
to remedy identified deficiencies in a timely fashion or will phase
growth until such programs can be completed.
The City should limit spending on capital facilities in those areas of
the City and potential annexation area that are not designated as
priority areas for capital projects.
Transportation

Provide funding necessary for transportation needs at the
appropriate levels of service.
Arterial HOV improvements will be constructed along key corridors
to improve flow and encourage use of these more efficient modes.
Minor capital projects, placing spot (localized) traffic improvements,
will be carried out to extend the capacity of system components.
Capacity enhancements will be made where other, lower cosf
improvements will not correct deficiencies. They will be carefully
justified to compete for limited funds.
Provide sidewalks on both sides of arterial streets as funding
allows.
Provide a one-mile grid of bicycle facilities connecting major activity
centers, recreational facilities, and schools.
Incorporate pedestrian and bicycle features as design elements in
the City Center as reflected in the CityShape Vision and City Center

business. These Rules shall be in effect upon adoption by the Council and until
such time as they are amended or new Rules adopted in the manner provided by
these Rules.
SECTION 2.
COUNCIL MEETINGS
2.1
TYPES OF MEETINGS
(1) Reeular Meetines. Council's regular meetings will be held the first and
third Tuesdays of each month in Council Chambers, City Hall.
Regular Council meetings will begin at the hour of 7:00 p.m., and will
adjourn no later than 10:00 p.m. To continue past this time of
adjournment, a majority of the Council must concur.
If any Tuesday on which a meeting is scheduled falls on a legal holiday,
the meeting shall be held at 7:00 p.m. on the first business day following
the holiday, or on another day designated by a majority vote of the
Council.
(2) Special Meetines. A Special meeting is any Council meeting other than a
Regular Council meeting. Notice shall be given at least 24 hours in
advance specifying the time and place of the meeting and the business to
be transacted. A Special Council meeting may be scheduled by the
Mayor, City Manager or at the request of a majority of the Council
Members.
(3) Study Sessions. Council's Study Sessions will be held, when needed, as
follows:
Study sessions may be called by the Mayor, City Manager or by two (2)
or more Council Members.
Study Sessions will be informal meetings for the purpose of reviewing
forthcoming programs, receiving progress reports on current programs
or projects, or receiving other similar information. The Mayor and City
4
Manager will determine on-going dedicated schedules for regular Study
Sessions.
No final decisions can be made at a Study Session. Decisions on those
issues will be scheduled for a Regular or Special Council meeting.
(4) Emereency Meetines. An Emergency meeting is a Special Council
meeting called without the 24-hour notice. An Emergency meeting deals
with an emergency involving injury or damage to persons or property or
the likelihood of such injury or damage, when time requirements of a 24-
hour notice would make notice impractical and increase the likelihood of
such injury or damage. Emergency meetings may be called by the City
Manager or the Mayor with the consent of a majority of Council
Members. The minutes will indicate the reason for the emergency.
(5) Executive Session Meetines. An Executive Session is a Council meeting
that is closed except to the Council, City Manager and authorized staff
members and/or consultants authorized by the City Manager. The
public is restricted from attendance. Executive sessions may be held
during Regular or Special Council meetings and will be announced by
the Mayor or the Chair of the Special Council Committee, respectively.
Executive session subjects are limited pursuant to Chapter 42 RCW,

CITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES
20.1 Federal Way's commissions, committees and task forces provide an invaluable
service to the City. Their advice on a wide variety of subjects aids the Mayor
and Council Members in the decision-making process. Effective citizen
participation is an invaluable tool for local government.
20.2 These advisory bodies originate from different sources. Some are established by
ordinance while others are established by motion ofthe City Council. It is at the
discretion of the Council as to whether or not any advisory body should be
established by ordinance.
20.3 Federal Way advisory bodies bring together citizen viewpoints which might not
otherwise be heard. Persons of wide-ranging interests who want to participate
in public service but not compete for public office can be involved in
governmental commissions, committees and task forces. These bodies also serve
as a training ground or stepping stone for qualified persons who are interested
in seeking public office.
20.4 As Federal Way advisory bodies have been formed since incorporation, the
adoption of uniform rules of procedure is necessary to assure maximum
productivity. The following policies govern the City's advisory groups; some of

these advisory groups may have more specific guidelines set forth by ordinance,
resolution, the Federal Way City Code, or at times by state law.
Every advisory body, when it is formed, will have a specific statement of
purpose and function, which will be re-examined periodically by the City
Council to determine its effectiveness. This statement of purpose is made
available to all citizen members when they are appointed.
The size of each advisory group is determined by the City Council and the size is
related to its duties and responsibilities. Another determination to be made
prior to formation, is the cost impact for City staffing a proposed advisory body.
The Council may dissolve any advisory body that, in their opinion, has
completed its working function or for any other reason.
Members and alternate members of all advisory bodies are appointed by
majority vote of the Council Members during a regularly scheduled meeting.

shall be convened to review, interview and recommend Citizen Advisory
Committee appointments to the City Council at a regularly scheduled meeting.

eligible to vote on the recommendation to be made to the full Council. A
quorum of three (3) Council Members shall be required to forward any
recommendation to the full Council. The full City Council shall vote on the
appointments to the Citizen Advisory Committee at a regularlv scheduled
Council meeting.
The City Council may approve reappointment of citizens wishing second terms
subject to any limits established by ordinance or other laws.
Council Members will raise any concerns about any recommendation prior to
the City Council meeting that is scheduled for the approval oCthe appointment.
Vacancies are advertised so that any interested citizen may submit an
application. Applicants must be citizens oCthe City of Federal Way if required
by the Federal Way City Code or if required by the City Council. Council
Members are encouraged to solicit applications from qualified citizens.
Applications shall be available from the Office of the City Clerk.

overlapping terms are intended. On special work task forces, where a specific
project is the purpose, there need not be terms of office.

consistent with the establishing resolution or ordinance.

public meeting laws ofthe State of Washington which requires a minimum 24-
hour advance notice; no advisory committee will schedule a meeting earlier than

advisory body.

instance of conflict of interest. No individual should use an official position to
gain a personal advantage.
Lobbying efforts by any advisory bodies on legislative, or political, matters
should first be checked for consistency with existing City policy by contacting
the City Manager's office. In the event a position is taken that differs from that
of the City's policy, an advisory body acting as an official body of the City of
Federal Way, cannot represent that position before another body, i.e., the State
Legislature or the King County Council. An individual member is free to voice
a position, oral or written, on any issue as long as it is made clear that he or she
is not speaking as a representative of the City of Federal Way, or as a member
of his or her commission, committee or task force.
Members of advisory bodies are encouraged to attend City Council meetings to
keep abreast of Council actions.
The City Council transmits referrals for information or action through the City
Manager to the advisory groups. These advisory groups transmit findings,
reports, etc., to the City Council through the City Manager.

force, the City staff members are not employees of that body. The City staff
members are directly responsible to his or her Department Director and the

FINAL BILL REPORT
DB 1084
C 73 L 01
Synopsis as Enacted
Brief Description: Authorizing independent salary commissions for cities, towns, and
counties.
Sponsors: By Representatives Ogden, Dunn, Boldt and Fromhold.
House Committee on Local Government & Housing
Senate Committee on State & Local Government
Background:
Article XXVIII, Section I of the Washington Constitution establishes an independent
salary commission to fix salaries for members of the Legislature, elected officials of the
executive branch of state government, and judges of the state supreme court, court of
appeals, superior courts, and district courts. No state official, public employee, lobbyist,
or any immediate family member of a state official, public employee, or lobbyist may
serve on the salary commission. The constitutional salary commission provisions
supersede conflicting state constitutional salary provisions for legislators, state officers,
and judges.
Salary changes established by the salary commission are filed with the Secretary of State
and become effective 90 days after filing. Decisions of the salary commission are subject
to referendum for a 90 day period.
The Washington Constitution also specifies that the salary of any county, city, town, or
municipal officer may not be increased or decreased after the officer's election or during
the officer's term of office unless these local officials do not fix their own compensation.
Summary:
Salaries of city and town elected officials may be set by salary commissions in
accordance with city charter or by ordinance. The members of these local salary
commissions are appointed by the mayor with the approval of the city council.
Counties are authorized to establish ten member independent salary commissions for
county commissioners and council members by ordinance or by resolution of the county
legislative authority. Six members are selected at random by the county auditor from the
list of registered voters in the district. The remaining four members are appointed by the
county executive or commissioner, or by a majority vote of the county legislative

authority. These four members must have experience in the personnel management field,
and represent each of the following four sectors: business, professional personnel
management, legal, and organized labor.
Salary commission members may not be appointed to more than two terms. City and
county officers, officials, and employees and their immediate family members are not
eligible to serve on the salary commissions. Commission members may be removed
during their tenns only for incapacity, incompetence, neglect of duty, malfeasance in
office, or a disqualifying change of residence.
Salary changes detennined by the local salary commission are filed and become effective
and incorporated into the budget without further action. Salary increases may be
effective during the term of office, but salary decreases become effective during the
subsequent term.
Decisions of the local salary commissions are subject to referendum in the same manner
as an ordinance upon filing a petition within 30 days. If a valid referendum petition is
filed, any challenged salary changes do not become effective until approved by the voters
at the next general or municipal election occurring at least 30 days after the petition is
filed.
Local salary commission decisions to fix salaries supersede other provisions of state
statute or local ordinances related to municipal budgets or salaries for local officials.
Current salaries established under an ordinance or charter provision substantially
complying with the salary commission requirements remain in effect unless and until
changed according to the new requirements.
