PlJBLlC FORUM
John Leskovar: Mr. Leskovar stated his concern is public safety. Mr. Leskovar is wondering if there arc different
approaches to Public Safety? He is proposing volunteerisl1l. Is it possible to get more citizens to contribute to the
efforts of public safcty and make the City of Federal Way a safer place to live? Mr. Leskovar also stated that the
City sct a new record for the number of homicidcs. llc is also unable to get statistics off of the City's web site. He
would like crimc statistics reported on a monthly basis at these lnectings. Chair Burbidge stated that there is
considerable data on line. Thc organization is Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, and their web
site is www.waspc.org. Crime statistics are availablc on this web site. Deputy Mayor Ferrell is not sure that if
counting the number of homicides in the City is a good indicator oflhe overall erimes occurring in the City of
Federal Way. Mr. Ferrell also encouraged Mr. Lcskovar to attend the City Councils retreat being held on January 28
at the Dumas Bay Centre. This issue is on the agenda. Chair Burbidge stated that staff is currently working on
preparing a report, and it will be presented at the February 13 PRPS Comlnittee meeting.
Theresa Jackson: Ms. Jackson is a long tirne Girl Scout Leader. The girl scouts haven been hosting a summer day
camp at Camp Kilworth for the past three years. She wants to makc sure that the camp will be available to them
again this summer. The Boy Scouts have said that they will reserve the site for them at this time, and if they still own
the property at thc start of camp, then thcy will honor the reservation. She would like assurance from the City that if
the City has taken over owncrship prior to the date of the camp, that the City will back them up, and allow them to
host the camp at Camp Kilworth. Ms. Hanson stated that the City does not own the property at this time, and is
unsure when the closing of the property will take place. Also safety concerns at the site have not been identified.
Ms. Jackson stated that they are ACA acercdited, and are very strict on their safety rules. Council member Kochmar
request Ms. Jackson to provide them with a copy of the Girl Scouts insurance policy. Ms. Jackson stated that they
needed to start publicizing the camp very soon. Ms. Jackson stated that they do have a backup plan if Camp
Kilworth is unavailable, but they need to know soon. Mr. Matheson stated there are two issues I) Ownership 2)
There has not been any conversation with the City Council on what the policy will be for outside groups using the
facility, and what type of staff support will be necessary, and who would provide that support. There arc also
internal conversations that need to take place about how to make the property available or not available to outside
groups.

funding opportunities that are in progress. Ms. Koehmar reeomrnended geuing a large sign with a barometer that
shows what level they're at for fundraising, and that now is a good tirne to start contacting businesses and
organizations. Ms. Faber stated that the group met last week, and decided which eommiuee members would
approach which business, and madc a commitment to make personal contacts with people. Deputy Mayor Ferrell
and Mayor Park met with H. David Kaplan and Barbara Reid, and one of the items discussed was fundraising. They
were very involved in the fundraising for Celebration Park. They had suggested creating a miniature model of the
Community Center building to help generate excitement. Ms. Faber statcd that she too had met with them, and shc
did contact the Architects regarding developing a model. The price was over $5,000, and the eommiuee felt they
couldn't spcnd that amount of money at that time. Thcy havc devcloped a power point presentation and color boards
of the building. They do have a model of a building that an intern created for them, and have taken that rHode!
around. The committee is discussing possibly taking the color boards or thc Illodelto a business or the mall, and
leaving them at that location for about a week. Ms. Faber stated that what is really needed is the one-on-one contact
with individuals. Ms. Ilanson reported that the Community Center project and the Community Ccnler Support Drive
were added to the web site.
Celebration Par-k Weekend lJsa~e
Mr. Hutton reviewed tournaments and events that arc booked this year at Celebration Park. Mr. Hutton stated that
we havc and exciting year planned, with several marquis evcnts. We will be hosting the first ever True National Fast
Pitch Tournament for ages] 6 and undcr. The entire country will be represented at this tournament. A group in
Seattle bid $45,000 to bring the tournament to this area. Kent and Tukwila are also hosting the games. We are also
hosting a World Senior Softball Tournament in September. This is a week long event. Senior softball is thc fastest
growing area in softball. Mr. Hutton stated that wc arc also hosting the Men's Major NIT for the seventh year in a
row. The participants are the best of the best in thc country. To sum up, the City of Fcdcral Way is hosting fivc
State, two Nationals and one Senior World Event this season at Celebration Park. The weekend rate for peak season
is $1240, and off -season rate is $900. Mr. I-IuUon stated that wc have only had two tournaments that have been
rained out from start to finish; this is due to the COlnbination of a great design and hard work by our Maintenance
Department. They do a wonderful job of making the fields playable, when other facilities fields are unplayable.
Accept Madrona l)ark/BP A Trail Phase IV ConstructioJl
Ms. Sanders stated that the work was performed by Precision Earthworks, Inc. There is no irrigation at the site, and
there is a one-year plant maintenance and warranty requirement. Precision Earthworks has completed everything but
the one-year plant maintenance. There is still Six months of plant maintenance rcmaining. Staff felt that it was
reasonable to allow the close out of the contract. Precision Earthworks, Inc. has provided the City of Federal Way
with a bond, to ensure that they will complete thc plant maintenance and warranty requirement. Deputy Mayor
Ferrell moved to acccpt the projcct as.complete, and release retainagc, and forward to the Full Council OJl

Policy Question
Should the Council adopt the Master Plan as prepared for Lakota and Sacajawea Parks?
BaQJ<ground
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department hired the firms of MacLeod Reckord
and PACE Engineers to prepare master plans for the redevelopment of Lakota and Sacajawea
Parks. These are parks that were transferred from King County to the City of Federal Way when
it incorporated. The parks were built in the 1960s and I 970s and arc both heavily used for
athletic practices and competition. They are now experiencing the multiple effects of age and
poor drainage, and no longer meet the expectations of the public and sports community.
These parks serve a dual purpose: they are public parks, and they also provide the athletic
facilities for the adjacent middle schools. In preparing the mastcr plans the staff and consultants
met several times with the public, the Parks Commission, and Federal Way Public Schools
representatives concerning their needs and their observations about the existing park and
facilities. After public review of several alternatives, and development and review of additional
alternatives, final master plans were developed that satisfied all parties.
The consultant team was asked to prepare the master plans using the following guidance:
. maintain the existing number of athletic fields if possible, and addrcss inadequate field
Size;
. use artificial turf for some ofthe fields, and upgraded design techniques and drainagc
for all fields;
. providc additional or improved parking;
. provide other recreational facilities in addition to sports fields, such as walking trails,
playgrounds and picnic shelters
. improve the appearance of each property, so that it feels more "parklike."
The selected master plans meet these requirements. Initially it was believed that a rehab of the
I
13;0\
existing facilities might be sufficient. Howevcr, aftcr cxamining thc sites in detail and hcaring
from many of the uscrs it was concluded that both parks arc bcyond thcir uscful lifc, and that a
master plan for the future would nccd to includc major rcdcvclopmcnt efforts.
At Lakota Park thc cntirc park property is envisioned as completely redeveloped, including a
revised layout of the fields. With the recent addition of] 2 more acres to Lakota Park, this is a
substantial size park to develop. The layout at Sacajawca Park would remain more similar to its
current layout. It has an artificial turf socccr ficld that was installcd a fcw ycars ago, and it would
rcmain in placc, though the track around it would bc replaced with new drainage and a
rubbcrizcd surfacc. Thc ball ficlds would also remain in their prcscnt position, though rcsizcd
and rcconfigurcd for a bcttcr layout, and completely rcbuilt to dcal with cxtcnsive drainage
problems.
Thc master plans arc intcnded to guidc thc next phases, which include sehcmatic and dctailed
design. Many details not developed at this level will be more fully explored and developed at
that time, including potential phasing to address the high costs of these projects. Staffwill
continue working with the School District to cnsurc that layouts and design ofthe two properties
arc suitable to both partics. A summary of the mastcr plan document is attach cd to this staff
report.
Options
l. Adopt the mastcr plans as prcparcd.
2. Rcquest revisions to the master plans.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Plans for the developmcnt of Lakota and Sacajawca Parks were launched in carly 2004 whcn the City of
Federal Way retaincd MacLeod Reckord to evaluate the sites and creatc a Master Plan for future llse of
thc properties. Programming needs werc asscssed to ensure all ideas and concerns relevant to this
planning process wcrc addressed. Thc complex relationships betwccn natural site characteristics such as
topography and vegetation, built fcatures, aesthetic fcaturcs, access and parking, adjacent and on-sitc land
uses, inter-local agreemcnts with the schpol district, and regulatory restrictions all play important roles in
the master planning process. Tn addition, mectings with the City staff, thc Parks Commission, the School
District, and public meetings with community members providcd crucial input in the evolution of the
Final Master Plan.
Thc Final Master Plans for Lakota and Sacajawea Parks accommodate a variety ofuscrs. Both plans
include public gathering areas, athlctic events, a multi-usc path systcm, parking, restrooms, a basketball
court, family picnic areas, children's play areas, and meadows and wooded areas that may bc used for a
variety of informal activities. Sacajawca Park is unique in its provision of tcnnis eourts. The Lakota Park
plan offers volleyball courts and vicwing platforms into the largc wctland on the south half of the
propcrty. The design proccss and plans are prescntcd in the following master plan report.
INTRODUCTION
The City of Fcderal Way acknowledgcs thc necd for long term planning to mcct the increasing demands
for community rccreation facilitics as well as passive use arcas. Thc firm MacLeod Reekord was retained
in early 2004 to evaluate the existing Lakota and Saeajawea Park sites and to develop a mastcr plan for
their future usc as community parks with athletic facilities to bc sharcd with the Federal Way School
District and local athletic clubs. The purposc of this rcport is to describe the master planning process,
make recommcndations for each of thc sitcs, estimate probable costs and suggcst potcntial construction
phasing for thc various master plan clements.
BACKGROUND
The City of Federal Way was incorporated in February of ] 990. Prior to that time King County managed
both Lakota and Sacajawea Parks. The City of Fedcral Way Comprchcnsive Plan (rev. 2002) identifies
Lakota and Sacajawea Parks as Community Parks. The City has entcrcd into inter-local agreements with
thc School District to jointly maintain and opcrate reercational facilities at both park sites.
Thc Park Capital Improvemcnts Program identities a necd for $5.] million for improvemcnts to Lakota
Park bcginning in 2007. Prcvious studies of Lakota Park ineludc alternative conccpts for athletic facility
rcdcvclopmcnt on the north sidc of the site and a wctland delineation and cvaluation report for the parcel
to thc west and south of the firc station. At this timc thc School District has cntercd into an agrecment to
sell thc land to the west and south of the Fire Station to the Fire District. Thc School District plans to
build a new school on their property within the ncxt 15 ycars. The City recently acquired a +/-]2.4 acre
parcel ofland, primarily wetland, which now constitutes the south half of the park sitc.
Thc Park Capital Improvcmcnts Program idcntifies a need for $1 million for improvcments to Sacajawea
Park beginning in 2007. Previous studies of Sacajawea Park includc altcrnative concepts for athlctic
facility redcvclopment. The 10calliu1c Icague organization eonstructcd two ficlds at the south side of thc
school sitc for shared use with the School District. Thc casternmost field partially ovcrlaps Sacajawea
Park propcrty.

PROJECT SITES
LAKOTA PARK
Lakota Park is a +/-40.6 acre community park located in north central Federal Way. The park is bordered to the
north by Dash Point Road and to the east by 21 st ^ venue SW. The I /- 13.4 acre Lakota Middle School property
abuts the park to the west. Thc Fire District recently acquired property rrom the School District to the north ofthe
school site and abutting the northeast corner ofthe park property. Residential properties border the site to the
south and southwest. The current park design reinrorces its image as a part or the Lakota Middle School grounds
rathcr than a separate public racility.

DESIGN PROGRAM
A thorough assessment of programming needs was ncecssary to ensure that all ideas and concerns relcvant to the
Lakota and Sacajawea Park mastcr plans wcrc addressed. Meetings and intervicws with City staff, the Parks Com-
mission and the School District, and public mectings with community membcrs provided a basis for the final mas-
ter plan program for caeh park.
PUHIJC INPUT
A total of four public meetings were held betwecn April 2004 through March 2005, two mectings for each park.
The purpose of the initial two meetings was to gathcr additional background data on the sites from the local resi-
dents, to listen to their concerns and intercsts rcgarding the park sites, and to discuss potential site programming.
The purpose of the second two meetings was to prcscnt some alternative ideas for thc site design for each park
and to rcecivc fcedbaek and additional information from the community. The final master plans werc first pre-
sentcd to the City Council Parks Committee on October 10, 2005. They were presented to thc full City Council on
October 18,2005.

FINAL MASTER PLANS
The Final Master Plans for Lakota and Sacajawea Parks evolved from the Final Schematic Alternatives based
upon public, City and Parks Commission input on September 1,2005. The Parks Comrnission moved to forward
the Final Master Plan to the City Council wilh the following added concerns.
At Lakota the Commission noted:
1. The existing stormwater facility at the west side of the playfields is retaining water when it should not be.
2. There may not be enough demand for the two volleyball courts. Alternative activities should be considered in
their place such as tennis courts, informal lawn space, or a small amphitheater.
3. Provide low fencing around the play areas (this was indicated in the cost estimate).
At the Sacajawea Park the Commission notcd:
1. Provide a larger restroom at the bascball/softball track area.
2. The City has a 5 year lease agreernent with Qwest. The lease agreemenl was negotiated 2 to 3 years ago. The
Qwest equipmenl could not be moved al Qwest expense until the lease agreement has expired.
3. A workable joint agreement should be negotiated with School and Little League organization for their part of
the park property.
FINAL MASTER PLAN FOR LAKOTA PARK
Traffic, Parking and Access
New parking lots accommodate a total of 255 autos on park property, 134 autos on school district property, and
10 busses. Thcse lots replace +/-48 auto spaces on park property, +/-120 auto spaccs on school district property,
and +/-10 bus spaces. Existing vehicular access points to the site are maintained in their current locations as rec-
ommended by the City's traffic engineers. Turning movements althe north entrance, across from SW 3141h Street,
arc restricted to right in/right out only. A vehicular connection is maintained betwecn this entrance and 14th Ave-
nue SW (Adalaide Road). One vehicular entrance is added opposile SW 3161h Street. Accessible parking and ac-
cess are provided to all site facilities.
Active and Passive Recreation Facilities
The final concept plan for Lakota Park maximizes development of athletic facilities on the north side of the site,
and emphasizes passivc recreational activities on the south side of the site.
New synthetic turf outfields and lighting allow for maximUlll scheduling of the baseball field and softball fields.
One baseball and two softball games may be played simultaneously. The softball infields are constructed with col-
ored synthetic turf to allow overlap of soccer fields with the infield areas. Two regulation size soccer fields fit into
the baseball/softball outfield area. One full size soccer field may overlap the baseball outfield in two alternative
directions which reduccs wear on the turf at the goals. Ncw bleachers arc situated at the backstops, and also at the
south side of the field for viewing soccer games.
The existing track is relocated and expanded to 8 lanes with new synthetic surfacing. The track and field events,
and the football/soccer field are convenient to thc school for shared use, and are ideally oricnted in a north-south
direction. The artificial turf fIeld is lighted to allow more intensive scheduling. A wall is required along the east
side of tlle track to retain the steep slope there. Bleachers arc built into the slope.
A public gathering area, a children's play area, a restroom and a basketball courl border the north side ofthe site.
A trellis structure accents the gathering area. This area is casily monitored from Dash Point Road and the parking
lots.
The existing pickleball courts and practice field arc maintained in their current location south of thc school build-
Lakota and Sacajawea Parks Master Plan 40
~-l
ing. An office and storage facility for the Hawks, and a restroorn are added adjacent to the existing school gym.
Development at the SE comer of the site includes parking, a restroom, sand volleyball courts, a children's play
area, a picnic shelter, and trails. Accessible exercise stations are located along a woodland path close to the park-
ing lot. A soft surface loop trail surrounds the existing large wetland. Three platforms with informational signage
provide views into the wetland. Additional information for points of interest will be providcd along the loop trail.
Wetland restoration and enhancement in the large wetland will mitigate impacts on the small wetlands on the
north side ofthe site.
Storm Drainage, Scwc.- and Water
Lakota Park and the adjacent Middle School will have separate storm drainage systems. The Park project will add
about 2.9 acres of new proposed impervious surfaces. The Park improvcments will requirc stormwatcr detention
and water treatment facilities. The southwest corner of the site is divided from the main park sitc by a wetland. As
such, storm water facilities will be provided to the southwest corner area separately. An underground detention
vault will be utilized in the southwest corner to hold approximately 16,500 cubic feet of storm water and release
the water to match existing flows. The rcdeveloped parking lot located on thc west side of the main park site is
approximately the same elevation of the ball fields and track. The parking lot drainage will be routed around the
main park's detcntion facility and considered bypass. Water treatment will be provided for both the southwest
corner and the west end redcveloped parking before it enters the existing storm drainage system. A biofiltration
swa1e will be utilized and will be located between thc southwest corner and west end parking lot and run for ap-
proximately 250 feet and discharged to an existing catch basin located just south of the ball fields.
The central park area will use an undcrground detention vault and will hold approximately 10,000 cubic feet of
storm water and release the water to match existing flows. This area consists mainly of ball field use not subject to
frequent vehicle use.
The east end of the park will add approximately 1.5 acres of new impervious surface. A detention vault of ap-
proximately 25,000 cubic feet and watcr treatment volume of approximately 8,000 cubic feet will be required to
mitigate for the improvements.
Catch basins shall be utilized throughout the entire park site to collect runoff generated in the parking lots as well
as from the under drainage systcms to be installed at thc play areas and all of the various ball fields. A trench
drain will be installed at the basketball court and routed to the detention vault via the tight lined catch basin sys~
tern.
The area used in calculations for the modifications to the Middle School is approximately 8.8 acres, which in-
cludes the building roof area, the area of the surrounding parking lot and fire access, and the parking lot at the
north end of the school site. The Middle School improvements will require a storm water treatment vault of ap-
" proximately 25,000 cubie lCet.
Catch basins shall be utilizcd throughout the Middle School parking area and collect runoff generated from the
parking area and existing roof drains from the building. The conveyance system will route runoff through the
stormwater treatment vault. The treated stom1 water will discharge north to an existing eatch basin along SW
Dash Point Rd.
All underground detention facilities are sized for a Level Two Flow Control analysis as specified by the
KCSWDM (King County Surface Water Design Manual). All storm water from both the Park site and Middle
School sitc will be conveyed north towards S.W. Dash Point Rd and exit into Lakota Creek.
Sewer service will be provided for the two proposcd restrooms and water fountains located on the Lakota Park
site and the proposed restroom adjacent to the Middle School building. The Park restrooms will requirc two eon-
ncctions, one along S. W. Dash Point Rd. and the other along 21 sl A vcnue S. W. The other restroom is located adja-
Lakota and Sncajawen Pnrks Master Plan 41
t3-~
cent to the Middle School building and will connect to the existing Middle School system.
Watcr service will be provided to the two proposed restrooms and water fountains located on the Lakota Park site
and one proposed restroom adjacent to the Middle School through a I" polyethylene service line. It is assumed
that water fountains will be located at or near the restrooms. The Lakota Park restrooms will require two connec-
tions, one along S.W. Dash Point Rd. and the other along 21'[ Avenue S.W. which both will require new water
meters. The restroom located adjacent to the Middle School will connect to the existing Middle School system.
Frontage Improvements
Frontage improvements will be made along SW 3121" St, SW Dash Point Rd, and 21 <I A venue S W. The assump-
tion is madc that improvements will only be made on the side of the street adjacent to thc site and the existing as-
phalt road is in good enough condition to remain. Frontage improvement costs were converted into a unit cost per
linear foot for ease in preparing the cost estimate.
Wellhead I)rotcction
There are three primary zones of wellhead proteetion and arc defined using a time of travel of groundwater crite-
ria. The three principle zones are I-year, 5-ycar, and 10-year time oftravcl factors. Parcels within wellhead pro-
tection areas are identified and ranked according to their land use, location within the well's capture zone, and
possible susceptibility to contamination. Parcels arc then ranked into three classifications for potential to cause
wellhead contamination, low risk, medium risk, and high risk parcels.
Lakota Park falls into the 1 O-year capture zOlle for well tl7 of the Lakehaven Water District system, per figure
MAP IX-3 ofthe City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. Lakota Park would likely fall into a medium risk par-
cel because of the possible use of fertilizers Oil the fields. Without the use of fertilizers, J _akota Park would most
likely be considered a low risk parcel. Lakota Park is not located within any of Lakehaven's other 12 wells princi-
ple zones that provide drinking water to the area.

FINAL MASTER PLAN FOR SACAJAWEA PARK
Traffic, I)arking and Access
New parking lots accommodate a total of 217 autos and 16 busscs on both school district and park properties_
These lots replace -1/-] 77 existing auto spaces and 18 bus spaces. Paved service/fire access is provided around the
south and east sides of the school building. Existing vehicular access points to the sitc arc maintained in their cur-
rent locations as recommendcd by the City's traffic cngineers. A vehicular entrance is added near the south-cast
eorncr of the site. Accessible parking and access are provided to all site facilities.
Active and Passive Recreation Facilities
The final concept plan for Sacajawea Park proposes Inodest changes to the locations of the existing athletic facili-
tics and adds passive rccreational uses to the SF corncr of the park.
The existing track is expanded to 8 lanes with new synthctic surfacing, and maintains it's current position in order
to preserve the existing artificial turf football/soccer field. A combined long jump/pole vault with synthetic run-
ways is located to the north of the track. A synthetic surfaced high jump fan and a shot put fan surrounded by arti-
ficial turf are located in the track "J)"s. The track, field events and football ficld arc all lighted.
Several retaining walls arc located betwcen thc track and the bascball/softball fIelds due to the steep slope and ac-
cessibility requirements there. The track bleachers are set into thc hillsidc. An accessible axial pedestrian pathway
that doubles as an emergency vehiclc access road dividcs the track from the baseball/so/lball fields. A large public
gathering space overlooks the ball fields and track, and acts as a "knuckle" where the pedestrian path turns toward
the main parking lot. A trellis structure accents the gathering area. A restroom is conveniently situated close to the
spectator areas for the track and play fields. Storage facilities arc provided for both the track and baseball/soilball
arcas. A fenccd storage and utility area is located at the cast side of the school building. Ten pickleball courts and
a basketball court are in an easily monitored location close to the school building and parking.
The existing baseball and softball field locations have becn rotated so their outfields no longcr ovcrlap, and are
moved slightly to the south to allow space for the emergency access/pedestrian pathway between the traek and
fields. The new baseball/soccer fields are lighted and have artificial turf to allow more intensc scheduling of those
fields. One full size soccer field may overlap the baseball outfield in two alternative dircetions which reduces
wear on the turf at tbe goals. A large retaining wall is necessary at the south and northwest edges of the baseball
outfield due to the steep slopes there. The softball field is ideally oriented in a south-easterly direction and has an
under-drained, irrigated natural turf outfield. Games may be viewed from the bleachers located at the backstops,
from adjacent sloped lawn areas, or from the public gathering area at the northwest corncr of the baseball/soccer
field. The existing Qwest equipment is relocated to allow for a full 200 foot softball outfield.
The Little League fields are redeveloped close to their existing location. The fields have under-drained, irrigated
natural turf outfields. Adequate space between them allows for dugouts, bleachers and pcdestrian access to the
outfIelds.
A children's play area, four tennis courts, a restroom, parking, and a picnic area occupy the SE corner of the park
close to 116th Avenue. These uses arc intended to improve safety by increasing activity and allowing better moni-
toring of that area. Visibility into the SF part of the park is improved with selective removal of existing vegetation
and trimming tree branches up.
Storm Drainage, Sewer and Water
Sacajawea Park and the adjacent Middle School will have separate storm drainage systems. The Park project will
add about 2.3 acres of new proposed impcrvious surfaces. The football field located on the north side of thc Park
sits in a depression, thus flows from this area cannot be routed into the main Park storm drainage system and will
need to be considered bypass. The Park improvements will require stornl water detention and water treatment fa-
Lakota and Sacajawea Parks Master Plan 45

cilities. An underground detention vault will be utilized to hold approxinlately GO,OOO cubic feet of storm water
and release the water to match existing flows. This facility is sized for a Level Two Flow Control analysis as
specified by the KCSWDM (King County Surface Water Design Manual). Water treatmcnt will be provided
through a biofiltration swale that will be located downstream of the detcntion vault and run along the north side of
the football field for approximately 250 feet and discharged to SW Dash Point Rd.
Catch basins shall be utilized throughout the Park site to collect runoff generated in the upper parking lot as well
as from the under drainage systems to be installed at the play area and all of the various ball fields. Trench drains
will be installed at the pickle ball courts, basketball courts and tennis courts and routed to the detention vault via
the tight lined catch basin system.
The proposed area used in calculations for the modifications to the Middle School is approximately 7.2 acres,
which includcs half of the building roof area and the area of the parking lot proposed for improvements. The
amount of ncw proposed impervious surface is small enough that detention for the Middle School area can be
negligible. Catch basins shall be utilized throughout the Middle School parking area and collect runoff generated
from the parking area and existing roof drains from the building. The conveyance system will route runoff
through a water quality vault of approxirnately 29,000 cubic feet to provide treatment. Thc treated storm water
will discharge north to SW Dash Point Rd.
Sewcr service will be provided for the three proposed restrooms and water fountains located on thc Sacajawea
Park site. The Park will require two connections along IGu1 Avenue S. One sewer line and appurtenances will run
approximately 900' betwecn the soccer/football field and the baseball fields to scrvc two oftbc proposed rest-
roOmS. The other restroom is located on the south side of the Park site and will connect to the existing system
with a 6" I'VC side sewer line.
Water service will bc provided to the thrce proposed restroonls and water fountains located on the Sacajawca Park
site through a 1" polyethylcne service line. It is assumed that water fountains will be located at or near the rest..
rooms. Water service lines will run parallel to the side sewer lines with proper separation and have two connec-
tions along 16th Avenuc S and two new 1" water metcrs.
Frontage Improvements
Frontagc improvements will be made along SW 3I21h St, SW Dash Point Rd, and 21st Avenue SW. The assump-
tion is made that improvements will only be made on the side of the street adjacent to the site and the existing as-
phalt road is in good enough condition to remain. Frontage improvement costs were converted into a unit cost per
linear foot for ease in preparing the cost estimate.
Wcllhcad Protection
There are three primary zones of wellhead protection and arc defined using a time of travel of groundwater crite-
ria. The three principle zones are I-year, 5-year, and IO-year timc of travel factors. Parcels within wellhead pro-
tection areas are idcntified and ranked according to their land use, location within the well's capture zone, and
possible susceptibility to contamination. Parcels are then ranked into three classifications for potential to cause
wellhead contamination, low risk, medium risk, and high risk parcels.
Sacajawea Park falls intothe 1 OO-year capture zone for well #23 of the Lakehavcn Water District system, per fig-
ure MAP IX-5 of the City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, which is beyond the three principle zones. Saca-
jawea Park is not located within any of Lakchaven's other 12 wells principle zones that provide drinking water to
the area.

COST ESTIMATES
SUMMARY ESTIMATES
The total estimated construction costs for Lakota and Sacajawea Parks arc compiled from building and site de-
velopment costs of similar recent projccts in the Pugct Sound area. The cost cstimates for cach site were divided
into three parts: "Park Property," "Sehooll'roperty," and "Street Right-of-Way." The division line between
school and park estirnates docs not always follow the property line, but rather follows the edges of distinct site
elements as illustrated below. The division line for the right of way is located at the back of sidewalk. The esti-
mates do not include state and local sales tax, design fees, maintenance aftcr construction, wetland dclineation,
geotechnical investigations, or unknown subsurface conditions. Contractor's overhead and profit are included in
thc unit costs. The phasing will accomplish manageable project costs for cach phasc while maximizing cost ef-
fectiveness and rcsponsiveness to City priorities.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 13,2006
TO: Parks, Recreation and Public Safety Committee
VIA: Derek Matheson, Interim City Manager ~
FROM: Patricia A. Richardson, City Attorney -+~
SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance to Criminalize Drug-Related Loitering, Nonfelony
Counterfeiting, Nonfelony Vehicular Assault and Hit and Run, Pedestrian.
Policy Issues:
1. Should the Federal Way City Code, Chapter 6, Articles IV and VII, be amended to
add two new sections, criminalize drug-related loitering and nonfelony
counterfeiting?
2. Should Article X be added to Chapter 15 of the Federal Way City Code, to add a
new section, criminalize nonfelony vehicular assault and hit and run, pedestrian?
Back2found:
Recently, the Federal Way Police Department has conducted lengthy investigations into
crimes that ultimately did not meet felony guidelines and did not have misdemeanor
counterparts. For these reasons, the crimes could not be prosecuted.
Other municipalities around the area have drafted or adopted similar ordinances to
address this issue to promote the safety of persons and property. The adoption of this
amendment would facilitate law enforcement and protect the citizens of Federal Way.
Options:
Option One.
Recommend approval ofthe proposed Ordinance and forward to full Council for first reading
at the February 21, 2006 City Council meeting.
Option Two.
Suggest modifications to the proposed Ordinance and provide direction to staff.
6-1

Proposed Police Cadet and Reserve Officer Programs
Background
The Federal Way Police Department is seeking ways to provide cost-effective service to the
public. Many agencies across the US have reserve police officer and police cadet programs.
A Reserve Police Officer is any law enforcement officer who does not serve as a law
enforcement officer of the state on a full-time basis; but when called upon for active service,
he/she is fully commissioned on the same basis as full-time officers to enforce the criminal laws
of the state.
The Police Cadet Program introduces college students to the law enforcement profession. Cadets
would attend college and be part-time employees ofthe Police Department. Cadets are
uniformed civilian positions.
We will continue to evaluate these proposals along with other options to address staffing. We
would appreciate any feedback that Council members wish to offer.
