Chair Burbidge called the meeting to order at 6:05p.m. COMMISSION COMMENT None APPROVAL OF SUMMARY Council members Ferrell and Burbidge moved to accept the February meeting minutes as written. Motion passed. BUSINESS ITEMS Community Center 2% for Art Program Ms. Faber introduced Laura Sindell and Bruce Myers, the selected artists for the Community Center 2% for Art Program. The artists were present to show the Committee how far along the designs have come. Ms. Sindell stated that the artwork displays the human body in motion. It talks about motion in a way where the unseen is made visible. The background pattern is a heartbeat. Ms. Sindell also showed the cafe tables. There are 4 tables. The tables are meant to be public art space for interchangeable exhibits. Bruce Myers is creating the exterior fountain. The circular plan is inspired by a raindrop pattern. The overlapping circles identify the different zones. Within some of the circles there will be two circles with a mosaic. Three areas within the fountain zone will have pebble mosaics. The idea is that the exterior art is brining in outdoor elements. Boulders will be used for the fountain. Community Center Update Mr. Demming presented the Community Status report for February 2006. The billings to date are $3,490,601. We continue to be on budget with the project, and continuing to do a monthly monitoring of the project schedule. The pool piping issues have been resolved. They are in the process of negotiating change orders. The climbing wall subcontractor has been selected. The company is Entre Prises USA, Inc. The climbing wall is scheduled to be installed in October 2006. The design is a blended system of free form, which relates to the natural rock and a panelized system. They have also negotiated the rest of the kitchen equipment pricing and installation schedule. West Hvlebos Wetlands Park: Boardwalk 85% Design Ms. Sanders stated that there are three problems with the boardwalk at this time. I) Damage from trees resulting from storms and tree roots extending into the area 2) Foundation decay 3) Alignment problems. They have tried to maintain the overall alignment with the boardwalk. They are doing minor alignment adjustments to avoid trees encroaching into the boardwalk. The viewing area at Brooklake will be enlarged. They are also going to improve the interpretive signage. They are looking at other materials for the foundation that are not wood-based. There are two different types of material that they are looking at. Those items are: 1) Diamond Pier Foundation with concrete block that have piers that are driven down into the soil. 2) A foundation that is made up of recycled tires with Styrofoam inside to help them float. They are then encased in a heavy plastic. The goal is to get back a beautiful trail in the woods. The trail will be a little bit wider to meet the ADA requirements. Deputy Mayor Ferrell moved to complete design, with direction established by the 85% documents and place this item before Council on April 4, 2006. Council member Burbidge seconded. Motion passed. PARKS, RECREA nON, & PUBLIC SAFETY COUNCIL COMMITTEE Monday March 13, 2006 Summary I)age 2 Public Comment Bob Kellogg, Bob Roper and Toni Mikesell spoke in support of a breed specific legislation. Glen Bui, Laina Cole, Janet Noble, Juli Goodrich, Cynthia McCammon, Jim Anable, Susan McBain, Rachel Dube, Nikki Osborn, Julia Jones, Aaron, Suzanne Danielle, and H. David Kaplan spoke against a breed specific legislation. H. David Kaplan asked for clarification on what the Ordinance is that is being proposed. Chair Burbidge answered that they do not have a recommendation from staff at this time, but there is a potential for asking staff to modify the existing code, and present the proposed modification at the next committee meeting. There has not been a specific Ordinance or change to the existing code at this time. There is nothing breed specific. Deputy Mayor Ferrell read the 4 options that they can consider to the audience. Dangerous Dogs Ordinancc Deputy Mayor Ferrell stated that this issue presents a real challenge. If committee were to implement option 3 it would not address what occurred to the Mikesell Dogs. He does not want to penalize people that already own certain breeds of dogs. He would like to find a creative way to prevent things like this happening in the future. We need to have a responsive system, and hold people accountable. Council member Dovey stated that we needed to look at the laws we have in place and make sure that we are enforcing them. We need to ensure that we've done everything within our current ordinance and enforcing what we have. Deputy Mayor Ferrell thinks it is important to analyze every option. What can we do pro actively? Mr. Ferrell would like to move option 1, to have the City Attorney and staff come up with different options that would address and try and prevent what happened to the Mikesells. Chair Burbidge seconded. Chair Burbidge stated that it makes sense to support option I with consideration in modifying the existing code. It is important to base this legislation on behavior and consider animal control issues. Chair Burbidge stated that Seattle, Olympia, Kent, Renton and Tacoma have adopted ordinances that follow dangerous dog regulation based on dog behavior. Seattle Municipal code states that the dog's breed will not be a factor in the designation of a dangerous dog. There are stringent registration requirements in some cities. Council member Dovey stated that option 4, which is do not modify the City code makes sense to him. He needs to be convinced that the current ordinance is not working. The real issue is enforcement and possibly having our own animal control. Mayor Ferrell is envisioning regular ordinance language with 3 to 4 options. Deputy Mayor Ferrell stated that there is confusion about what the existing state of the law is. He would like a staff presentation about the current status of the law and what the proposed changes are going to be and what the possible options will be. City Attorney Richardson stated that the motion that is on the floor is to direct staff to modify the ordinance and bring back to the committee. If this is not the direction that is being given, then the motion and the second needs to be withdrawn. Ferrell stated that the ordinance can be drafted with options, and then to modify and increase the fines and penalties and have several options to add in. Ms. Richardson wanted to know what the options are that they want to work in. Are you going beyond fines and penalties? After further discussion, it was clarified that the Committee wants to know what other more restrictive requirements that could be placed on the dog owners. Deputy Mayor Ferrell moved to amend option one and include consideration of other restrictive measures. Chair Burbidge seconded. Discussion was held. It was moved and seconded to move option 1 which is to: Direct staff to prepare and ordinance modifying the City code to increase the fines and penalties for violations of the existing dangerous dogs and potentially dangerous dogs definitions, and consideration of other restrictive measures. Memorandum of Understanding with the Friends of the Hylebos Wetlands for the Invasive Weed Removal Program Ms. Wang stated that The Friends of the Hylebos are proposing to continue to monitor the work they started in 2005 and also to start a new invasive weed removal program. The two programs they started in 2005 and want to continue to monitor are in the Hylebos Wetland Park and the Brooklake Blueberry Farm. They removed the invasive weeds in 2005. This year they would be monitoring to ensure that there is not any re-growth and if there is additional re- growth they will manually remove the weeds. In the Historic Cabins Park there is a sufficient amount of Himalayan blackberry and they are proposing to remove that, cover the area with thick fabric to make sure that there is not any re-growth. If they receive additional grants then they will help the City of Federal Way replant that area. The City will compensate them with $10,000 for their effort. Deputy Mayor Ferrell moved to approve the attached MOU and authorizc $] 0,000 as compensation for the proposed scope of work forward to the April 4, 2006 City Council Consent Agenda. Chair Burbidge seconded. Motion passed. Police Officer "Over-hiring" Program Ms. Wang stated that council has been talking about the police department staffing issue. They have identified that the issue is recruiting difficulties, staffing level and the training process for new recruits. It takes approximately nine months before a position can be filled. The program would allow the City of Federal Way to hire more officers PARKS, RECREATION, & PUBLIC SAFETY COUNCIL COMMITTEE Monday March 13, 2006 Summary Page 2 I'ublic Comment Bob Kellogg, Bob Roper and Toni Mikesell spoke in support of a breed specific legislation.

The goal is to maintain a steady stream of officers in the pipeline to fill the vacancies as needed. The questions to consider is what is the level of over-hiring, the type of vacancies where over-hiring may help, and at what cost? Ms. Wang stated that they are asking council to allow for the over-hiring of seven officers, and also want to recommend Council to allow the over-hiring program to be used to cover both regular vacancies as well as extended military leave - we have had three officers put into military leave for approximately two years. Because the vacancies do fluctuate and they will need to carry additional officers from time to time, there will be additional costs than the current budgeted amount. The ongoing costs will depend on how long the over-staffing condition persists and how quickly attrition occurs to allow the staffing level to be lowered back to normal. They are looking at about 3.5-4 FTE officers at an annual cost of $340,000 for the salary and wage and $100,00 for the equipment. When they have too many officers they can stop hiring, and allow the attrition to come down to the authorized level. Deputy Mayor Ferrell moved approval of option 1, Chair Burbidge secondcd. Discussion was held. Council member Dovey asked if seven officers were enough. Ms. Wang stated it will depend on the current vacancy, and how soon we can fill those vacancies. Right now we have a vacancy of five. Ms. Wang did clarify that this is not in lieu of additional staffing needs, this is so we can bring our regular staffing to the budgeted level. Motion passed to forward option 1 to the April 4, 2006 City Council Consent Agenda. Interlocal At!reement between the City of Federal Way and Federal Way School District No. 210 for School Resource Officers Chief Kirkpatrick reported that this is a contract that the City entered into in 1999 to put school resource officers into the school system. This is a three year term from September I, 2005 through August 31, 2008. There are a few changes to this contract, they are as follows: 4 full time school resource officers, which will be assigned to the following schools: Decatur, Todd Beamer, Federal Way, and Thomas Jefferson, one full time officer to serve as relief, and one half time officer for Truman High School. When that officer is not at Truman his other responsibilities will be to traffic. Deputy Mayor Ferrell moved to authorize the City Manager to execute the new Interlocal Agreement between the City of Federal Way and Federal Way School District No. 210 for School Resource Officers, forward to the full City Council for approval on March 21,2006. Chair Burbidge seconded. Motion passed. PENIlING ITEMS Deputy Mayor Ferrell asked if the April meeting could be changed to April 17, he would like to be in attendance when the Dangerous Dog Ordinance is discussed. Ms. Richardson stated that a motion was made; it could be put on the agenda and delay action on the Ordinance, and do it in May. The motion does not need to be amended if the meeting will be moved to April 17. Council member Kochmar was absent from this meeting, so her availability needs to be verified.

JAG allows state and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime and improve the justice system. The funding distribution is based on population and crime statistics as well as law enforcement expenditure data. The Federal Way Police Department has selected Planning, Evaluation, and Technology improvement programs as outlined in the JAG. Below you will find a detailed description on how the Federal Way Police would like to apply this funding. Type of Program: Planning, evaluating, improving, and expanding law enforcement through technology Program Narrative The City of Federal Way would like to enable and expand our police field officers capability to access public safety related data, pictures, voice and video "outside" of the vehicle by providing a vehicle docking station. The city currently provides broadband wireless technology on the police vehicle laptop; however, the laptop is "hard wired" into the vehicle, thus restricting the officer's ability to bring technology to our consumer. If awarded we will outfit 46 front line patrol fleet vehicles. Once installed officers can remove the laptop to take into a reporting parties home or business to complete statements and field reporting requirements without the need to return to the station for report preparation. Documents such as search warrants can be prepared on scene and executed in a timely and efficient manner. Officers can take laptops to neighborhood or community meetings, having instant access to data and provide feedback on a real-time basis. f\~\ -----.---- _._-_._._~ Providing this flexibility allows officers to remain deployed in their Patrol Sectors for longer periods of time during their shift, as they are not restricted to their Patrol car for the purposes of report writing. It further affords the officers an ergonomically friendly way of using their laptop. The docking station allows the officer to remove the laptop from its cradle and it easily hangs from the steering wheel for reporting writing purposes while parked in highly visible area within the Patrol Sector.

This is necessary to meet GMA requirements and to be eligible for celiain lAC Grants. We began the process of selecting a consultant in the fall, but waited to begin the public process until January, when we could plan on more community participation. A request has been submitted to the Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation to extend their deadline for adoption by City Council fi-om June 1 to June 20, 2006. If that extension is approved, the schedule for adoption of the Plan will be as follows: April 6 -- Parks Comrnission Review April 10 -- Briefing before City Council PRPS Committee April 22 -- Issue SEP ^ May 3 - Public Hearing before the Planning Commission May 8 - SEP A Comment period ends May 8 - Recommendation by the Council Committee to full Council May 22 - SEPA Appeal period ends June 6 - First Reading of Ordinance before City Council June 20 - Second Reading of Ordinance before City Council While this is a tight timeline, staff and the consultant team have made every effOli to allow maximum public participation within the existing time constraints. The attached public comment summary provides an overview of the oppOltunities for public input as well as a summary of themes and core values that we heard fi:om the community. This summary was presented to the Stakeholder group on March 27, 2006, who forwarded it to the Parks Commission for their regular meeting on April 6, 2006. The Stakeholder Group represented senior program participants, environmental groups, neighborhood groups, school district, youth commission, athletic organizations, and Parks & Recreation Commission. The Stakeholder Group met three times and the Parks Commission and PRCS Depaliment hosted two open houses. A third open house will be scheduled prior to Council adoption in June. Through the various forms of public input, five "Core Values" have been identified and discussed with the Stakeholder Group and Parks Commission for verification. A series of actions and recommendations are being developed based on these Core Values, which include: Core Value #1-1mprove Existing Facilities & Provide Multiple Function in Parks D,.I r Core Value #2-Develop a Walking & I3iking Community through an Integrated Trail & Sidewalk Network Core Value #3-Retain & Improve Our Natural Open Spaces Core Value #4-Create Community Gathering Places & Destinations Core Va lue #5-Provide A l3alance of Services for a Diverse Population This is for Council Committee information, no action is requested at this time, but we will be asking for review of the draft and recommendation to the full Council on May 8th. b-L. ------------- Federal 'Vay Parks & Open Space Plan Update Public Comment Sumrnary March 27, 2006 The core values which shape the Federal Way Parks and Open Space Plan Update recommendations emerged f)'om the following extensive public input and sources: .
