TO: Federal Way City Council Members
FROM: Patricia A. Richardson, City Attorney

VIA: Derek Matheson, Interim City Manage
ot-.--
SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance to Add Crimes for Domestic Violence in the Presence of
Children and for Domestic Violence with Use of Strangulation.
BACKGROUND
Domestic violence is pervasive and the impacts of domestic violence touch more than just the
physical victims. The National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information notes
that even when children are not the direct targets of domestic violence, they are harmed by
witnessing the violence -including auditory, visual, and observation of the aftermath of domestic
violence. Research shows that children who witness domestic violence often suffer severe
emotional and developmental difficulties similar to children who are the direct victims of abuse.
The City of Federal Way has partnered with the South King County Community Network on a
project studying the adverse effect on children that witness or are victims of domestic violence in
Federal Way. Statistics show that in 2004, children were present during 232 charges of domestic
violence.
According to the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence, strangulation
has been identified as one of the most lethal forms of domestic violence. Strangulation is used
by perpetrators as a method of power and control to silence their victims. The effects of
strangulation are potentially fatal and have devastating psychological effects on the victim. Ten
out of 100 violent deaths occur in the United States are due to strangulation, with six female
victims to every male.
The proposed ordinance also reorganizes the current Federal Way City Code adoption of the
Washington State domestic violence statutes for clarity.

STAFF REPORT BY: PATRICIA RICHARDSON, CITY ATTORNEY DEPT: Law
On May 8, 2006 the Parks, Recreation and Public Safety Council Committee directed Staff to prepare an
ordinance modifying Chapter 4 of the Federal Way City Code in regards to dangerous dogs as follows:
1. Expand the definition of dangerous dogs to include:
a. Known propensity, tendency or disposition to attack without provocation to cause injury or
otherwise endanger human and/or domestic animals based upon notice to the owner.
b. Bites without provocation after prior notice to the owner.
c. Attacks without provocation after prior notice to the owner.
2. Expand the definition of potentially dangerous dogs to include:
a. Owner reasonably knows dog has aggressively bitten, attacked or endangered humans and/or
domestic animals.
3. Add due process notification, hearing and appellate process for determination of dangerous dog or
potentially dog.
4. Strict liability for damage caused by dangerous dog.
The Committee then directed Staff to prepare two alternatives for Council consideration:
Alternative A provides:
1. A complete prohibition of dangerous dogs within the City limits.
2. Upon confiscation, the dangerous dog may be released to the Owner to remove the dangerous dog
from within the City limits.
Alternative B allows dangerous dogs but expands owner requirements to include:
1. An additional fee of $100 for owning a dangerous dog or potentially dangerous dog within the City.
2. Only individuals 18 years or older may own a dangerous dog.
3. Require a microchip to be implanted in the dangerous dog.
4. Require the Owner to provide a photo of the animal to animal control.
Attachments: May 1, 2006 Staff Report with attached Tables; proposed ordinance prohibiting dangerous dogs
within the City, and an alternative proposed ordinance allowing dangerous dogs, but expanding requirements for
owners of dangerous dogs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Amend FWCC to clearly provide notice and due process procedures for
determination of dangerous dog or potentially dangerous dog, and for penalties as a result of violations of
the requirements. Follow Council direction in regards to the definitions, banning or allowing dangerous
dogs, and owner requirements, if applicable.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 1, 2006
TO: Parks, Recreation and Public Safety Committee VC
FROM: Patricia A. Richardson, City Attorney
Jenni Snell, City Staff Attorney
SUBJECT: Staff Report Dangerous Dogs Ordinance
Council requested comparison information of the Federal Way City Code ("FWCC") and
those of other jurisdictions regulating dangerous and potentially dangerous dogs to determine
whether the City should consider modifying FWCC Chapter IV, Article IV to be more
restrictive. Please the attached current FWCC language.
To produce the requested information, the following codes were reviewed: Auburn,
Bellevue, Brier, Enumclaw, Kent, Kirkland, Lakewood, Mountlake Terrace, Renton, Sea
Tac, Seattle, Tacoma, Tukwila, Yakima and King County.
The attached tables for comparison between the FWCC and those of other jurisdictions
begin with State law in the left hand column. It is intended that the State law indicate the
basic regulations, and the notations under other jurisdictions depict additions to State law
or more restrictive provisions.
State law expressly authorizes the City to completely prohibit dangerous dogs within the
City limits, to place additional restrictions on the owners of dangerous dogs, and to
charge an additional registration fee for dangerous dogs. Additionally, although the City
has no jurisdiction over felony crimes it is noted that State law sets forth felony criminal
penalties for (1) Owners with a prior conviction of dangerous dog violation, or (2)
Owners of any dog that "aggressively attacks and causes severe injury or death of any
human".
State law and case law require notification, opportunity for a hearing and an appellate
process for owners before the authority designates a dog as dangerous. If the local
jurisdiction has not established a process, State law mandates the process, the criteria, and
the appeal to the municipal court or district court in the absence of a municipal court.
The FWCC does not specify a hearing process or an appellate process in the designation
of dangerous dogs. Instead FWCC 4-41 authorizes animal control to enforce the
provisions regarding dogs, and the contract with King County Animal Control specifies
that the City relies on the County's in-house procedures which follow state statute. It has
come to our attention that the County's in-house process may not be sufficient in a 2006
case where Kirkland relied upon the County's procedures and the court found that the
owner's due process rights were violated when the County designated the dog as vicious.
Consequently, Staff recommends that FWCC Chapter 4, Article IV be amended to
expressly set forth the notice, hearing and appellate process for the designation of
dangerous dog.
Additionally several provisions in Chapter 4 establish the due process procedure when the
owner violates the restrictions for dangerous dogs. FWCC 4-59 sets forth the criteria and
procedure for animal control to notify the owner of alleged violations, and Division 3,
FWCC 4-71 through 4-76, set forth the appellate process before King County Board of
Appeals. Depending upon Council's direction, Staff recommends clarifying the process
by cross referencing the applicable sections.

SUMMARY: Update of Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan-2006
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department is in the process of updating the City's
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, which is a component of the Federal Way Comprehensive
Plan (FWCP). This is done every six years, in compliance with the Washington State Growth
Management Act (GMA). The FWCP is updated on an annual basis. At the time that the FWCP is
updated later this year, the updated Parks Plan will be incorporated by reference. In addition, Chapter
6 "Capital Facilities" of the FWCP will be amended to reflect the changes made in the Parks Plan.
The purpose of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan is to express the community's values and
vision in these areas and to periodically assess implementation progress, identify needs for the future,
and develop plans and funding strategies for future programs and improvements. A public hearing
before the Planning Commission is a required part of the adoption process for this plan.
The City last updated the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan 2000 in September
2000. Adoption is scheduled for June of this year, to be eligible for grant funding from the
Washington Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation (IAC).
Planning Process
The planning process has included an extensive assessment of the City's existing parks and open
spaces, and its recreation programs. It has also included efforts to determine the needs and desires of
the community using a series of different approaches. These have included public opinion surveys,
open house meetings, meetings with a stakeholders group (made up of individuals representing
organizations that. have an interest in the future of the City's park system), and briefings and working
sessions with the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Parks, Recreation and Public Safety
Committee of the City Council.
A Determination of Nonsignificance pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) was
issued April 22, 2006. A public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on May 3, 2006:
Accomplishments Since 2000 Plan
Substantial achievements have been made since the last plan was prepared. This includes acquisition
of several properties, including West Hylebos Wetlands State Park, the site for Madrona Park (the
former Armstrong property), and several parcels in the Hylebos Basin. Purchase of Camp Kilworth,
an existing Boy Scout Camp with Puget Sound waterfront, is in process. Facility improvements
include development of Madrona Park, BPA trail extensions, new playground equipment and
improvements in several parks, phase one of site restoration at Dumas Bay Centre, and installation of
an artificial turf soccer field at Steel Lake Park. The largest project undertaken during this period is .
the planning and design of the new Federal Way Community Center. Construction on this project is
expected to be completed in late 2006.
Community Direction
A set of "Core Values" emerged from a consensus of ideas and opinions expressed through the public
outreach efforts. These core values have been used to guide the concepts and proposals developed
throughout the planning process. These are outlined briefly below:
Core Value #1: Improve Existing Facilities and Provide Multiple Functions in Parks
Public input indicated that there is strong community desire to focus on improving the resources
the City currently owns, rather than acquiring additional property. With future improvements the
City is encouraged to provide a variety of uses and facilities at each park site to appeal to a wider
range of user groups, and to serve different ages within a family.
Core Value #2: Develop a Walking and Biking Community through an Integrated Trail and
Sidewalk Network
According to survey results, walking; hiking; arid. walking dogs are some of the activities people
participate inmost frequently. Having an improved system of loop trails, or an interconnected
network of sidewalks and trails that connect to parks, schools and other destinations, will provide
additional recreation and nonmotorized transportation options for Federal Way residents.
Core Value #3: Retain and Improve Our Open Spaces
The City of Federal Way owns more than 500 acres of land categorized as open space. These
open spaces provide a valuable amenity and resource in the community. A balance between
protecting and improving the ecological health of these areas and providing opportunities for the
community to enjoy and use them is essential. A particular challenge facing the City and the
region is the rapid spread of invasive plant species, such as ivy, blackberry and Scot's broom.
Core Value #4: Create Community Gathering Places and Destinations
One of the consistent messages heard from the public is that the City lacks places to gather, meet
with friends and neighbors, and socialize. Creating community gathering places is especially
important as the City Center develops, and as parks are designed (or redesigned) and developed.
Core Value #5: Provide a Balance of Services for a Diverse Population
The City should offer a diversity of facilities, services and programs to accommodate a variety of
age groups, interests, income levels, and abilities. Public input encouraged special consideration
be given to youth, seniors, and persons with special needs. With an increasingly diverse
population, the City should continue to be pro -active in assessing recreational trends and needs.
Plan Components
The Core Values listed above were used in developing the heart of the Parks, Recreation and Open
Space Plan. The plan components include:
• Plan purpose and process —Chapter 1
• Community profile ---Chapter 2
• Overview of existing parks and open space system —Chapter 3
• Assessment of recreation programs and recreation trends ---Chapter 4
• Needs assessment and level of service standards --Chapter 5
• Goals and Policies --Chapter 6
• An implementation plan --Chapter 7
• Individual park and athletic facility assessments —Appendices
Changes in this Plan
This updated plan differs from the 2000 Plan in several ways. The 2006 Plan has:
• Less emphasis on development of new neighborhood parks, and increased emphasis on
enlivening existing ones
• Less emphasis on quantity of park land (and a numeric level of service standard), and more
emphasis on their future development
• A detailed assessment of each individual park and open space site
• A focus on meeting a variety of social and recreational needs, including for community
gathering spaces, and for a diverse community
Revisions to the Draft Plan
Several revisions have been incorporated into the final draft document since it was reviewed by the
Parks, Recreation and Public Safety Committee on May 8, 2006. Most of these are minor text edits,
as suggested by Parks and Recreation Commission, Planning Commission and PRPS Committee
members, and by staff. In addition two more substantive additions (based on material in the 2000
Plan) have been added to the final implementation chapter. These are attached to this memo and
include:
1. The Park Planning Areas Map that was adopted in the 2000 Parks Plan has been updated and
added to the 2006 Parks Plan. This map is used in locating where mitigation fees (based on
SEPA )that are received from developers shall be spent.
2. The 2000 Parks Plan contained a table of criteria to guide decisions concerning acquisition,
development and renovation of park properties. The 2006 Plan has changed the table into a
list of criteria, using the same concepts as before, but in a simplified approach.
Action
Planning and adoption of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan has moved quickly due to the
need to be eligible for grant funding this year. The adoption schedule includes:
May 3—Public Hearing by Planning Commission
May 4—Final review and recommendation by Parks and Recreation Commission
May 8—Parks; Recreation and Public Safety Council Committee
June 6—City Council: 1 " Reading of Ordinance
June 20—City Council: 2nd Reading of Ordinance and Adoption
June 22 Transmittal to Washington Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation(IAC)

Add new section:
Park Acquisition, Development and Renovation
At times unexpected opportunities occur to purchase land or develop a project
that has not been identified in this plan or listed in the Capital Improvements
Plan. In those circumstances, the following criteria may be used to evaluate the
property or project as an. aid indecision- making. Staff may assess the situation
using these criteria, identify potential funding sources, then present to the Parks
and Recreation Commission and.the City Council for their consideration.
Park Acquisition Development and Renovation Criteria
1. Responds to an important gap in the park system or an urgent need or
opportunity such as geographic location or unique circumstances not
otherwise provided. Also may conform to legal contractual mandate.
2. Documented need based on evidence of unsanitary conditions, health and
safety code violation, visible deterioration, and/or injuries.
3. Funding availability for the capital project as well as maintenance and
operation or potential for leveraging 50% of project costs from other
sources.
4. Deferring the project will have negative implications for future park and
recreation use or other capital projects within the City.
5. Conforms to the Parks and Recreation and Open Space Plan or other
adopted plans.
In order for acquisition, development, or renovation to be considered, the majority
of these criteria need to be met.

To: . Finance, Human Services, and Regional Affairs Committee
From: Kelli O'Donnell, CDBG Coordin
Via: Derek Matheson, Interim City Manage
Subject: Allocation 2005 and 2006 CDBG funds to the Small Business Development Center
at Highline Community College
POLICY QUESTION:
Should the City of Federal Way allocate available 2005 and 2006 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds in the amount of $33,940 to the Small Business Development Center at Highline Community College?
BACKGROUND:
The City of Federal Way has $59,863 available to allocate to CDBG capital projects from 2005 CDBG project
under runs and unallocated 2006 CDBG capital funds as outlined in the attached memorandum to the Human
Services Commission. At their May 15'h meeting, the Commission considered allocating a portion of these
funds to the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Highline Community College as an economic
development activity. CDBG funds would match the funds allocated by the City Council in the 2006 budget to
serve Federal Way entrepreneurs and businesses with one-to-one counseling at the SBDC. A Business
Development Specialist would provide counseling that may include financial planning, marketing strategies,
production and organization issues or other services needed for small business development. Funding of this
program would meet strategies of Federal Way's Housing and Human Services Consolidated Plan and the King
County CDBG consolidated plan to expand economic opportunities. After considering the pros and cons of
allocating CDBG funds to this project, four options were presented to the Human Services Commission:
OPTIONS'
1. Fund the Small Business Development Center for 18 months with the addition of a .50
FTE.
Allocate recaptured 2005 CDBG funds and unallocated 2006 CDBG capital funds in the amount of $33,930
to the King County Economic Development Program for the addition of Federal Way to the Small Business
Development Center at Highline Community College for July 1, 2006 to January 31, 2007, with the
following conditions of funding:
1) The project is not considered a Federal Way stand-alone project under the joint interlocal
agreement for the King County Consortium's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program for 2006 through 2008; and,
2) Appropriate performance measures for clients served and job creation are negotiated in addition
to meeting the CDBG economic development minimum job creation; and,
3) King County Economic Development program staff will assure that CDBG requirements are met for
job creation and recordkeeping; and,
4) Funding for July -December of 2007 would be contingent upon the City of Federal Way allocating
funds to the project at the same level as 2006.
2. Fund the Small Business Development Center for 12 months with the addition of a .50
FTE.
Allocate recaptured 2005 CDBG funds and. unallocated 2006 CDBG capital funds in the amount of $22,620
to the King County Economic Development Program for the addition of Federal Way to the Small Business
Development Center at Highline Community College for July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007, with the following
conditions of funding:
1) The project is not considered a Federal Way stand-alone project under the joint interlocai
agreement for the King County Consortium's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program for 2006 through 2008; and,
2) Appropriate performance measures for clients served and job creation are negotiated in addition
to meeting the CDBG economic development minimum job creation; and,
FHSRAC - May 23, 2006
C-2
3) King County Economic Development program staff will assure that CDBG requirements are met for
job creation and recordkeeping; and,
3. Fund the Small Business Development Center for 18 months with the addition of a .45
FTE.
Allocate recaptured 2005 CDBG funds and unallocated 2006 CDBG capital funds in the amount of $26,250
to the King County Economic Development Program for the addition of Federal Way to the Small Business
Development Center at Highline Community College for July 1, 2006 to January 31, 2007, with the
following conditions of funding:
1) The project is not considered a Federal Way stand-alone project under the joint interlocal
agreement for the King County Consortium's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program for 2006 through 2008; and,
2) Appropriate performance measures for clients served and job creation are negotiated in addition
to meeting the CDBG economic development minimum job creation; and,
3) King County Economic Development program staff will assure that CDBG requirements are met for
job creation and recordkeeping; and,
4) Funding for July -December of 2007 would be contingent upon the City of Federal Way allocating
funds to the project at the same level as 2006.
4. Fund the Small Business Development Center for 12 months with the addition of a .50
FTE.
Allocate recaptured 2005 CDBG funds and unallocated 2006 CDBG capital funds in the amount of $17,500
to the King County Economic Development Program for the addition of Federal Way to the Small Business
Development Center at Highline Community College for July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007, with the following
conditions of funding:
1) The project is not considered a Federal Way stand-alone project under the joint interlocal
agreement for the King County Consortium's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program for 2006 through 2008; and,
2) Appropriate performance measures for clients served and job creation are negotiated in addition
to meeting the CDBG economic development minimum job creation; and,
3) King County Economic Development program staff will assure that CDBG requirements are met for
job creation and recordkeeping.
FINANCIAL IMPACT'
Allocation of 2005/2006 CDBG funds would distribute funds to eligible activities in a timely manner but lower the
amount of funding available for the 2007 CDBG program year capital projects proportionately. Funding of the final
six months of the proposed motion would be contingent upon the City Council allocating matching funds in the
2007 budget process. Future CDBG funding would be considered as part of the annual CDBG capital allocation
process.
HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Human Services Commission Forward option 1 with the authorization for the City Manager to enter into the
appropriate contracts to implement to the Finance, Human Services and Regional Affairs Committee for
recommendation to the full Council. Public notice will be published and posted. Any public comments received will
be included in the City Council agenda packet for consideration of the Committee's recommendation.

During the.2006 mid. biennium budget adjustment process, the City Council funded the SBDC in
the.amount of $17,500 with the caveat that these funds would be matched by funding from area
banks and financial institutions to meet the minimum $35,000 to hire a .45 FTE Business
Development Specialist. The. City's Economic Development Director has approached Federal
Way banks and -other institutions for matching funds and has been unsuccessful.In securing
commitments.
Economic development is an eligible CDBG activity that would require the creation of one job
for every $35,000 allocated to the project in addition to any requirements set by the City. The
.King County CDBG Consortium partially funds the King- County. Economic Development
program that oversees.the SBDC. This means that..Federal Way can add CDBG funds to the
project without it- being: counted' as.one.of our two: stand-alone. capital projects as long as it-i's
funded by the Consortium.::Funding .the project from..July 1;.2.406 to..June. 0, 20..07. would: -
distributdavailableCDBG funds in a timely:manner rather than waiting for the'2007 CDBG
allocation process. The City could also choose to fund the remaining 6 months of 2007 with
CDBG funds contingent upon the City Council allocating 2007 general funds to the project.
After meeting with staff from' our Economic Development program, King County Economic
Development, and Highline Community College, it is proposed. to utilize available CDBG funds
as a match to 2006 Federal Way general funds. The proposal funded by the City for $35,000-a
year was -for a .45 FTE that would limit the position to 1,000 hours per year. If the position was
increased to a .5 FTE at a cost of $40,120, the position could. be expanded in the future. should

Date: October 6, 2005
To: Finance, Economi Development and Regional Affairs Committee
Via: David H. Mosel ager
Froth: Patrick Dohe omic Development Director
Subject. Fai eipation to the mall Business Development Center at Highline
Community College
Should the City of Federal Wayparticipate in the funding of the Small Business
Development Center at Highline Community College to provide assistance to small
businessesattFederal Way?
BACKGROtM
In February 2605, Federal 'Way was invited to participate in the Southwest King County
Economic Development Initiative's Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at .
Highhue-Community College. -The Southwest King County Economie DevelopmSeaT
ent
lotiati've (SKCRDI) includes the cities of Burien, Des es, Normandy Park, ac ,
and Tukwilat tiic PorCof Seattle, King County and Hi a Corntxtunity College. A s part
of SKCEDI's goal to generate jobs, increase h- i ehold income and cneourage quality
development. in the member communities, the SBDC was formed in February 2063 to
provide assistance to small businesses.
The services provided on a one-to-one basis -include assisting enirepreneurswith financial
planningand. marketing strategies, production and organizational issues, and business
performsncc assessment. In addition, businesses have access to a wide range; of resources
including traditional and oon-traditional small business lenders, workshops and trc tft
In 2004, SBDC counseled 102 businesses, closed $130,000 in loans, invested $53,500 in
equity, and a total of 13 jobs created and/or retained. Year to date in 2005, the center has .
counseled 165 businesses, closed $2.1 million in loans, invested $593,000 in equity,
created 62 new jobs and retained 13 jobs.
Since its inception, approximately l0% or 20-25 oftotal annual assistance inquiries
represented Federal Way businesses. Highline SBDC has been able to serve a small
number of business owners who reside in Federal Way -but have businesses -in one of
cities in the SKCEDIpartnership. host ofthe businesses were referred to the Tacoma
SBDC office; however, it appears that the majority of these businesses remain unserved
since Tacoma_ SBDC counts very few Federal Way businesses among its clientele.
FHSRAC - May 23, 2006
C-9
Currently, one full time Business Development Specialist -and a halftime administrative
support personnel staff the SBDC at Ilightine. The Business Development Specialist
handles a full case load of approx*ately 40-50 per month. If Federak'UVay chooses. to
participate iri'the program, the Center wink -have to, increase its business development staff
to accommodate the anticipated increase in demand. Initially a half --lime• Business
Development Specialist will be more then sufficient in handling Tcderal Way's
businesses. This change in staffing means an increase of $35,000 in SBDC's 2M6
budget.
All the participants contribute $10,000, with the exception of $5,000 from Normandy
Park due to low number of businesses located within its boundary. In addition to the
.tninimutn contribution, -caebjurisdiet on also: actively works with SBDC and M Mine
Community Colkege to recMt, private sponsor flan i . el : from banks .'. Ih M

Avereit, Dean and Director of the Center has been leading this effort. In 2004, SBDC
raised approximately $30,000 from •local flanking institutions. A budget is attached with
the memo.
Given. Federal Way's population and number of businesses (approximately 2,6M2,800),
SKCADI has requested that Federal Way contribute a minimum of $35,000;.m.any -
combination of city funds and private sponsor funding, in order to extend SBDC services
to Federal Way's businesses.
PROPOSAL
Option :1: Consider City: landing :for up _to approxitnakly orie-half of the projected SBDC,
participation cost (approximately317,500) during the -upcoming 2006 Supplemental
Budget process; to be contingent upon nine -to -one matching contributions from the
banking community; and, direct'staff to seek matching funding.from area banks and.
financial institutions.

Small Business Development Center.at Highline Community College.
I.ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND
Mission, Activities and History
Mission: The Southwest King County Economic Development 1nitiative's Small. Business
Development Center (SBDC) ,at Highline Community College is an all-purpose small
Business resource; providing Southwest King Countyentrepreneurs with the technical
assistance necessary to -grow their businesses and create and retain jobs in order to enhance
the area economy:
Activities: The $BD.C.is designed.to meet e. individualneeds of southwestKing.C:otinty
small businesses by providing counseling, iralr6g i6d technical assistance in all aspects of
-business management.. The services provided on a one=to-one basis include assisting•
entrepreneurs with financial planning and marketing strategies, aiding them in dealing with
production and- organizational issues, and helping them to. assess the performance of their
business. in-.- ddition, the SBDC offers business'owhers aecess`to a wide range -of
resources including traditional -and non-traditional small business lenders, workshops and
training. -
The Business Development Specialist (BDS) employed at the SBDC is an experienced
counselor capable of providing business. owners with assistance on the full gamut of .
management and technical topics. - Specifically; the BDS may help entrepreneurs with:
Expanding; stabilizing, selling -or buyin0.'.business ventdre;
• Business planning;
Analyzing financial data and information;
■ Improving marketing techniques and efforts;
Starting a business that is past the pre -development stage.
Assistance from the SBDC is available to anyone interested in starting a small.business-or
expanding: on existing small business and who does not have the resources.to hixe the.
services of a private consultant. The SBDC makes.aspecial effort to serve -those
businesses and entrepreneurs who are socially and economically disadvantaged. Within the
area of the county served by the Highline SBDC there are four cities and an unincorporated
area each with median household income more than 20910 below the median for King
County as a whole. For example, median household income in North Highline (White
Center), an area with a large immigrant and refugee population, is 75% of the County's
median. Moreover, North Highline is the only Census Tract in•King County with a
poverty level of over 20%.
His o • In 1998 an informal partnership between the cities of Burien,--Des -Moines,
Normandy Park, SeaTac and•Tukwila; the Port of Seattle; King County and Highline
Community College was formed to promote economic development in the area in
proximity to Sea Tac International Airport. This partnership, named the Southwest;King
County Economic Development Initiative (the Utlative), is an inter -jurisdictional, sub- -
regional cooperative economic development effort whose goals are to 1) generate jobs, 2)
1

increase household income and 3) encourage quality development in the member
communities.
By collaborating on economic development goals, the partners are able to achieve more
than they can accomplish by each jurisdiction or institution acting. individually.. It is
hoped that sometime: in the future this cooperative-approach-to•economic development can
serve as a model transferable to other areas.
The Initiative has produced an economic development plan that, among other things,
evaluated the potential. for real estate development in the area, assessed the strengths and
weaknesses of the Southwest King County economy and identified areas of potential
involvement: The.plan, in turn, vlas based on a series of economic development
roundtables andpanels which sought to uncoverthe best,means for the. area's.economic
developmcnt. Out of the plan .came two implementation projects,: a small business export
promotiori program-ahil'tlie creation -of the SBDC -at Highline.
The SBDC was established by the partnership because no such service existed in the area,
a need for small business technical. assistance was -observed and a business -technical
assistance entity such.as the SBDC .was seen as fundamental to business retention, job
creationand�overali-enhancement of -the area's economic base. Tit I7ebruary 2003. staffwas-
hired and the SBDC opened its -doors; Since its -opening, the SBDC has served over 90
entrepreneurs and currently has an active case load of 30 businesses. In recognition of its
achievements, the SBDC received the 2003 Outstanding At -Large Business Award from
the Southwest King County Chamber. of Commerce..
Organiz.0001 Gaalr
The SBDC's 2004 organizational goals are to:
1. Secure a coinmitment.from the Washington State SBDC to a) recognize the
I ighline SBDC aspart ofthe State System,*b) designate the SBDC'as an. official
small business development center in 2005 and c) provide partial funding for the
SBDC in 20.04 and continued finding in 2005.
2: Be reco :... i .
gt ed as the primarytiusmess resource center for Southwest King County
small businesses by the area. funding institutions, local governments, residents and
other stakeholders.
3. Act as a catalyst for economic development efforts in Southwest King County
through cooperation and partnership with the public, private and non-profit sectors:
II.OPERATIONAL FINANCES
Ovemew
Funding for the first year of the SBDC's operation (2003) came from a grant from the U.S-.
Economic Development Association (EDA) and matching fiords supplied by the Initiative
partners. Year 2004 revenues include a relatively small portion of these funds ($7,095)
thaih4ve been carried over�and am -available to meet expenses. In addition, the Initiative
partners have pledged a total of at least $65,000 for the year 2004 budget These funds are

over and above money they had contributed to the -Initiative in the past. Additional "gap"
funding totaling $24,500 has been received for Key Bank, US Bank, Washington Mutual,
the Puget Sound Energy Foundation, Sterling Savings Batik and the State SBDC system.
The Initiative is working with Washington State University (WSUJ) to have the SBDC at
Highline designated as a full member business development center within the Washington
State SBDC system in 2005. We are confident of securingthis designation.
With the State system designation will come financial support. However, the Initiative -and
the SBDC must secure funding to finance the SBDC's operation in 2005 as well as to
establish a basis for permanent long-term funding.
Future Funding Sftlegies
Worts to raise.additiond funds for .both.2004-and 2005. arelcurrently.underway..-
It is.anticipated thait-the SBDC will receive recognition by tiie State SBDC as a participant
in the state program. As a result of this designation, up to 50% of the annual operational
expense for the SBDC at I ighline could be funded by the State. This level of funding is
predicated on the USSma11 Business Administration receiving increased financial.support
for:this fiscal year irtim Congress. 'If this does not occur, glower level of revenues roi n
the -State system would be forthcoming. At Whatever level of support, the local-SBDC-will
have to match the State contribution dollar -for -dollar and at least one-half of the match
must be in cash. Thus, the Initiative will have a role in seeking funding to match the State
eontribution in 2005 and beyond.

CC: "AVERETT, MARY" <maverett@highline.edu>
Kelli: Please share this message with the Human Services Commission. I sure wish I or Zev could be there with you
for this meeting. You did such a nice job putting together the pieces. Please call me with the news at��!
Dear Federal Way Human Service Commissioners:
I wish I.could be.there. tonight to:answer-any questio7ns.yW might have about the issue Before you, that of=CDBG funds
providing a portion of the funding of small business development services for Federal Way residents. I write with. just
a few points to add to the materials Kelli provided for you.
1) CDBG funds are used in many places around the country to provide these services for residents of CDBG program
areas. This would not be.anew use of CDBG funds, and this plan, with CDBG covering only a portion of the funding
will -leverage CDBG furids:well. .:
2). Most of -the business. owners and :operators who -use: the SBDC. services qualify under CDB G.'mcome guidelines.
Nationwide, a huge percentage of the clients served by SBDCs have low to moderate income levels. They don't always
stay there, because the SBDC helps small and medium sized businesses -succeed at a higher rate than they do on their
own. See materials Kelli provided.
3) If what occurred in the= other five cities. that the Highliw SBDC has served now .fi ir- 1years becomes: true in Federal.
Way, and I-piedict it will, -within _six months, you:will begiri:to'see real and substantive outcomes you can cite as
benefits of having provided CDBG funding. .,There will be jobs created, jobs4saved, loans acquired -to grow businesses
and equity investment to show for your commitment of these funds. In addition, there will be great stories from
Federal Way businesses who are happy with the services.
You will be.'amazed at:how helpful ono -cost -to -the -recipient business development counseling and education -can be to.
smart -people who are in business, or thinking of starting.a business; it helps them separate the forest &ni the trees, it -
helps them figure out what they need to do to move their businesses forward; it helps them with the technical
information and.skills that they can'.t yet afford to hire, but that they need in order to grow. Federal. Way has thousands.
of small .businesses will have. the opportunity to benefit from this service, and CDBG funding is key to the project
coming together for Federal Way.
Sincerely,
Mary Averett, Dean

SUBJECT: 9" Avenue S at S 336th Street Signal Modification Project/Flashing Yellow Arrow Pilot
BACKGROUND:
This project would modify the traffic signal phasing to improve the level of service, and reduce delays and
queuing. The extent of queuing during the midday and evening peak hours. is such that driveways near the
intersection are blocked and storage lengths for left turn lanes on S 336th Street are exceeded, contributing to a
reduction in safety. The traffic signal phasing on S 336th Street would be changed from protected left -turn
phasing (where left -turns are allowed only during a green arrow indication) to protected/permitted (where left -
turns are provided a green arrow and also allowed during a green ball but yielding to oncoming traffic). The
phasing would also be changed on 9th Avenue S from permitted (where no separate left -turn phase is provided) to
protected/permitted. These changes will better accommodate traffic generated by Celebration Park, the new City
Hall, and the new Community Center.
In addition, staff is proposing a pilot project for a new type of signal display for protected/permitted left -turn
phasing, called Flashing Yellow Arrow. This type of display has been undergoing experimentation nationally for
about 5 years and has undergone extensive study. Preliminary results from agencies experimenting with this
display have been so promising that Federal Highways Administration has given a blanket interim approval to
agencies wishing to experiment further, and it is expected that this will become a new standard in the next update
of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices in 2008. One study conducted on a similar signal display used
in Dallas, Texas suggests that this will operate more safely than any other type of signal phasing.
Other benefits of Flashing Yellow Arrow include greater flexibility in signal coordination and the ability to vary
between protected only, protected/permitted, and permitted only phasing by time of day. Other installations in the
Northwest include Everett, Kennewick and Vancouver, Washington, and Beaverton, Woodburn, Bend, Redmond,
and Medford, Oregon.
Studies have shown that the current standard display for protected/permitted left -turn phasing has a relatively low
level of driver understanding. Many agencies have attempted to improve this by including the explanatory sign,
"Left Turn Yield on Green •", but more recent studies have ironically concluded that this sign actually reduces
driver understanding. Locally, Seattle has experimented with a flashing yellow ball display, but studies indicate
that driver understanding is better with an arrow display. FHWA insists that the Flashing Yellow Arrow is so
intuitive that no explanatory signing is allowed, although agencies are free to.develop their own public education
materials. Attached is an example developed by Oregon Department of Transportation.
The project account balance is currently $112,281, consisting of $100,000 in REET funds and the remainder in
developer mitigation funds. Because of the limited scale of the project, staff proposes to implement the project
using King County, forces. King County estimates the project cost at $19,702. Based on the experience of other
agencies experimenting with Flashing Yellow Arrow, staff anticipates that the Flashing Yellow Arrow display
will prove to be popular and effective at reducing collision rates, and therefore recommends that any remaining
budget be reserved for similar signal modifications at other locations within the City subject to Council approval.
However, the project could be implemented with either Flashing Yellow Arrow or conventional
protected/permitted left -turn phasing.

Understanding the Flashing Yellow Left -Turn Arrow
Do you know what to do if you are waiting to turn left and you see a
flashing yellow left -turn arrow? It's simple: be cautious, and after
yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, make your left turn.
After it flashes, the flashing yellow left -turn arrow then becomes the
better-known steady yellow left -turn arrow. The steady yellow left -
turn arrow means what it has always meant: stop, if you can do so
safely.
A solid red arrow means STOP. Drivers turning left must stop.*
A solid yellow arrowmeans stop if it is safe to do so.
A flashing yellow arrow means turns are permitted, but you must first yield to
oncoming traffic and pedestrians and then proceed with caution.
A solid green arrow means turn left. Oncoming traffic must stop. Do not go straight.
In Oregon, flashing yellow left -turn arrows are becoming more and more common. Currently, there are
several flashing yellow left-tum arrows in the west side Portland Metro area, in Woodburn, in Bend, and
throughout Jackson County in Southern Oregon. Based on national research, the flashing yellow arrow is
expected to improve intersection safety in certain locations.

FROM: Cary M. Roe, P.E., Public Works Director '
Brian H. Roberts, P.E., Street Systems Project Engineer
SUBJECT: Pacific Highway South -Northbound Left Turn Lanes at S 332id and S 316'h Streets
BACKGROUND:
The Pacific Highway South HOV Lanes Phase II project (between South 324h Street and South 3401h Street) was
originally designed with no median breaks between the signalized intersections. Mr. Kim, a business owner on
Pacific Highway South at South 333d Street, requested a median break at South 333`d Street, and submitted a
traffic analysis in January 2004 to support it. Subsequent Council action resulted in the median break being
provided until such time that more pressing needs developed to require left turn access at South 332"d Street. In
particular, Federal Way School District was considering relocating its bus barn and other district facilities to a site
on South 332"d Street between Pacific Highway South and Celebration Park. Several City Council members also
expressed an interest in revising the median to permit a left turn from northbound Pacific Highway South to
westbound South 332"d Street. This would provide access to both Pacific Coast Ford and Ernie's Fuel Stop, as
well as facilitating a future east -west road connection between Pacific Highway South and I" Avenue South..
Council requested staff to submit a revised channelization plan to WSDOT for approval, and to investigate and
secure a source of funding. WSDOT approved the revised channelization plan on May 8`' of this year. Project
funding will come from unexpended funds from the Pacific Highway South Phase II project.
Providing a left -turn lane from northbound SR 99 to S 332"d Street is estimated to cost $81,760, including a 10%
City contingency. Project design is estimated to cost $16,000, for a total project cost of $97,760.
Phase I of SR 99 (between S 310`h Street and S 324"' Street) was originally designed with 210 feet of storage for
the northbound to westbound left turn at S 316'h Street. After Phase I was complete, the Pavilions I retail
development was completed, increasing traffic in the area. Today, the left turn queues routinely back up onto the
inside northbound through lane at mid -day and the afternoon peak. In response to numerous citizen requests, staff
evaluated increasing left turn storage to alleviate the congestion. Staff concluded that the left turn pocket can be
lengthened to 390 feet without compromising the length of the southbound to eastbound left turn pocket serving S
318`h Street. No channelization plan revision is required to increase the northbound left turn pocket at South 316'h
Street.
Providing the additional 180 feet of left turn storage to westbound S 316`h Street is estimated to cost $81,480,
including a 10% City contingency. Project design is estimated to cost $16,000, for a total project cost of $97,480.
Project funding will come from unexpended funds from the Pacific Highway South Phase H project.

VIA: Derek Matheson, Interim City Manag
FROM: Cary M. Roe, P.E., Public Works Director
Paul A. Bucich, P.E., Surface Water Manage_
SUBJECT: NPDES Phase H Permit status update
BACKGROUND:
The federal Clean Water Act of 1972 with later modifications (1977, 1981, and 1987) established water
quality goals for the navigable (surface) waters of the United States. One of the mechanisms for.
achieving the goals of the Clean Water Act is the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination S sy tem permit
program (NPDES Permits), which is administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Many years ago the EPA delegated responsibility to administer the NPDES permit program to the State of
Washington under Chapter 90.48 RCW, which defines the Department of Ecology's (DOE) authority and
obligations in administering the state wastewater discharge permit program. Through this process, the
DOE agreed to be responsible for issuing all NPDES permits in the state and to issue them through
existing permitting processes.
In 1987 Congress amended the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) to address stormwater discharges based
on a lawsuit from environmental interests. The CWA amendments established two phases for a
stormwater permit program that required controls to reduce stormwater pollutant discharges to the
maximum extent practicable (MEP). Phase I of the permit program covered large and medium sized
municipalities (over 100,000 populations) with Phase 11 to cover smaller jurisdictions. Snohomish
County, King County, Pierce County, Clark County, Seattle, Tacoma and WSDOT are the only Phase I
permittees in Washington State. There are over 85 Phase II jurisdictions subject to the impending permit.
In 2000, EPA finalized the NPDES Phase II rules regulating municipally -owned separate storm sewer
systems (MS4's) within census -defined urban areas. The Phase 11 rule extends coverage of the NPDES
program to small municipal separate stormwater sewer systems and requires Ecology to expand its
stormwater program by issuing permits to additional operators of MS4's that discharge to surface waters.
The federal Register outlining the intention of the Phase 11 Stormwater Rules requires that a jurisdiction
create a Stormwater Management Program that contains the following six minimum measures:
1. Public education and outreach
2. Public involvement and participation
3. Illicit discharge, detection and elimination
4. Construction site storm water runoff and control
5. Post -construction storm water management in new development and re -development
6. Pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations.
6/6/2006
Land Use and Transportation Committee
Draft NPDES Phase II Permit Update
Page 2
The Phase II Rules also contain specific requirements for waterbodies that are subject to a Total
Maximum Daily Load ("TMDL") due to pollutant loadings violating numeric water quality criterion.
Federal Way does not have a TMDL established for any waterbodies at this time but it is anticipated that
ones will be developed based on already having waterbodies or segments of waterbodies on the State
303(d) list (Joe's Creek, Redondo Creek, Steel Lake, and Hylebos Creek — all for Fecal Coliform).
The DOE issued a preliminary draft permit in early 2005 with the express intent of gauging the reaction
from all interested parties. This was not a broadly distributed document and did not follow the normal
procedures for Ecology. Based on the comments received (thousands of pages), DOE went back to the
drawing board and worked on a new draft permit which was issued on February 15" of this year. While
the new permit draft was improved, there was still much within it to concern municipalities,
environmental interests, federal agencies, and engineers.
The DOE has only issued drafts of the permit language. There is a concern that significant issues remain
to be addressed before the final permit can be completed. We are encouraging DOE to work with the
effected parties closely as well as the State Legislature in resolving the issues prior to release of the final
permit.
A copy of a comment letter along with specific comments sent to Ecology on the draft permit has been
forwarded to Council under separate cover. The purpose of this memorandum and LUTC presentation is
to go over the bigger issues with the council on the draft permit.
Maior Issues:
Re -Development requirements — The current draft permit refers to Ecology's 2005 Stormwater
Management Manual for Western Washington (Manual) in multiple places. Of great concern is the
manner in which the Manual addresses redevelopment on a site. Applicants would need to treat the site
as an undeveloped, forested parcel when addressing stormwater quantity and quality. No longer would
applicants be allowed credit for facilities installed legally in accordance with State vesting laws. This
would lead to significantly increased re -development costs potentially dampening the redevelopment
market. Additionally, there is a strong question as to the legal ability of municipalities to do so in light of
state law and court decisions.
Monitoring — We have joined with multiple other municipalities, both Phase I and Phase H. in requesting
that Ecology form a Stormwater Partnership to coordinate monitoring of stormwater with salmon
recovery, Puget Sound Recovery efforts, Water Resource Inventory Area Plans, along with other efforts
dedicated to improving the quality of water in our streams, lakes, rivers, and Puget Sound. As currently
structured, the draft Permit language has been structured to lead to "wet chemistry" water quality
monitoring within the next permit cycle. Based on ten plus years of similar intensive monitoring efforts
by the Phase I jurisdictions, little benefit will be derived from this effort but at a great deal of cost.
Stormwater professionals are interested in seeing and participating in an effort to develop a state wide
monitoring program that would provide meaningful management information for improving Best
Management Practices (BMP) selection and making other stormwater management decisions.
Further, since the Permit language. states that monitoring results are to be used as a metric for determining
if program actions are making reasonable progress towards desired outcomes, it is desirable that the
indicators are reliable, reasonable, and scientifically defensible.

Land Use and Transportation Committee
Draft NPDES Phase II Permit Update
Page 3
Use of Ecology's 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington — The permit
requires municipalities to adopt the Ecology Manual in part or in total depending on interpretation of the
permit language. The Ecology Manual was not intended to be used as a rule of law but instead was
developed as a guidance document. Inclusion of the Manual in the Permit language as a standard to be
achieved gives the Manual the force of law allowing Ecology to violate State rule making provisions.
Federal Way currently uses the 1998 King County Stormwater Manual as modified for our jurisdiction.
The Permit language would allow us to adopt the 2005 King County Manual once Ecology has deemed it
equivalent to their manual. There are likely provisions in the King County Manual Federal Way would
like to modify at the time of adoption however, the Permit language does not provide for individual
jurisdiction's modifications. Ecology staff have indicated they are not prepared to review or comment on
any alternative manuals submitted by Phase II jurisdictions.
Annual Cost Tracking and Reporting - The current permit language will require all municipalities to
report on expenditures down to a level of detail well in excess of that required by the adopted budgeting
practices from the State Auditors Office. The concern is that this level of detail tracking will require
either a reworking of our cost accounting practices or, at a minimum, an extensive effort to provide the
details required by December 31' of each year. We are also concerned that our expenditures will be
compared against other jurisdictions whose focus is on different aspects of stormwater management based
on their community needs.
Testing of Ecology BMP's — As currently written, Ecology is requiring municipalities to test and verify
the effectiveness of BMP's already approved of in their Manual. It is our opinion that if the State has
approved of and required the use of these BMP's, verification of their effectiveness rests on the DOE.
Fiscal, liability, and DOE staffing concerns — The new permit will require Federal Way to submit an
annual permit fee of approximately $34,000 with an inflationary factor increasing the permit fee annually.
Ecology has already stated that it will not have staffing necessary to review our Phase II permit, manual
submittals, nor annual reports. This leaves us wondering what we are paying for and whether the permit
issuance will provide Phase II jurisdictions any coverage from third party lawsuits. It has been our
understanding that once the final permit is issued, compliance with the permit affords us a legal "shield"
to some extent from third party lawsuits. Without annual certifications from Ecology of permit
compliance, we are wondering what level of legal protection the permit will give us.
Next Steps — The DOE will be reviewing the comments received and preparing responses to groupings of
comments. The stated intend is to issue a fmal permit in September of this year. Due to the significant
issues in the draft permit, we have requested they not issue the permit based upon an arbitrary deadline to
the .detriment of resolving the issues or that they issue a second draft permit for further discussion.
Further, based on the nature and scope of these issues, many municipalities are requesting the State
Legislature get involved to help find an equitable and defensible permit.

SUBJECT: Old City Hall Fixture Easement ( northwest corner S 33e Street and 1' Way South)
BACKGROUND:
In February 2005 the City sold the "Old City Hall" on the corner of S 336`h Street and V Way
South to Acrobat Financial Services LLC. At that time the right of way necessary for the future S
330h Street Right Hand Turn Lane Project was deeded prior to the sale of the building.
Construction on the project is now well under way and it has come to our attention that the
existing building sign on the corner is approximately 5.5 feet into the new right of way. The
building owner wishes to leave the sign in its current location to allow for optimal visibility. It
does not conflict with any currently planned improvements.
When the building was sold and the property deeded for right of way the existing sign location in
the new right of way was missed. Staff has researched how the sign can remain in its current
location and a fixture easement (attached) has been prepared which will allow the sign to remain
and also addresses the sign in the future.

JKiNG COUNTY Venture Fund Contract
For the fiscal year July 1, 2005 - June 30, 2006
Background Information:
United Way of King County (UWKC) distributes Venture Funds to address sub -regional health & human
service priorities identified by UWKC's four Community Councils. Examples of appropriate uses for
Venture Funds used in the context of council priorities include: testing new and innovative approaches for
service delivery; responding to critical or. emergent needs; developing essential services in under -served
communities; and supporting community planning and community building efforts that lead to improved
lives. Venture Funds constitute one-time only awards for the purposes listed above, and are not intended as a
source of permanent or, ongoing funding. They are generally small grants ranging between $5,000 and
$20,000. These awards are distributed pursuant to contracts establishing the purposes for which the funds
will be used and the results to be achieved
CONTRACT
This Contract is made between United Way of King County, referred to herein as UWKC and the City of
Federal Way, Community Development Services Department Human Services Division, referred to
herein as "the Agency."
Section I: General Provisions of the Contract
Amount of Venture Fund Award:
Upon receipt of this signed contract, UWKC will provide a one-time payment of $14,000 to City of Federal
Way, Community Development Services Department Human Services Division.
This is an award of a set amount that is determined through a proposal evaluation process established by the
South Community Council. This process assesses a proposed project's alignment with UWKC'.s. countywide
and sub -regional prioritiCs as well as the Agency's track record of successful performance or likelihood of
success in producing measurable outputs and outcomes.
Outputs and Outcomes to be Achieved:
Under the terms of this contract, the Agency will produce the .following outputs and outcomes as outlined in
their proposal and submit a report documenting outputs and outcomes measurement During the period
covered by this contract, should the agency plan/intend to discontinue a program that is tied to.the
achievement of negotiated outcome(s), the Agency will notify the United Way of King County Community
Affairs Manager for the sub -region. If as a result of eliminating a program and/or other internal or external
circumstances the agency is unable to perform to achieve approved outputs and outcome(s), UWKC may
request repayment of venture funds awarded, and/or the Agency may negotiate a related but alternative use
for the venture funds received.
The Agency may also be asked to present interim results to the Community Council through a presentation at
a Community Council meeting or a visit or tour by the Council's members to the project site.
The Agency is awarded venture funding under the following regional or sub -regional UWKC priority:
Families have access to the resources needed to stabilize their lives and provide for the basic

shift scheduling with the Association. Any such bargaining will be handled on an
expedited basis. After 45 days, either party may request a mediator from the PERC. If

request the Executive Director to submit the matter to interest arbitration. In such

panel and agree to select a single arbitrator in accordance with the parties' grievance
procedure, and to cooperate in expediting the arbitration procedure.

annually for their work shift and days off based upon seniority. The bid sheets will be
posted for one week, and lieutenants on leave may bid by proxy.

results, based upon reasonable necessity. A reasonable necessity would involve a
change made by the City due to legal concerns. In the event the change will be for
more than four (4) months, the Association may request a rebid of positions.
Section 3. Specialty Assignments. The assignment of employees to
specialty units shall be made by the City.

made, upon request of the employee. Under no circumstances will a shift trade result

out of class (i.e.- as a commander) for a period of time exceeding thirty (30) calendar
days, assumes substantial responsibility when assigned to substitute in a vacant

additional compensation will come from the department budget. The added
compensation will cease when the assignment ends.

much advance notice as reasonably possible of such time off requests.
2005-2007 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT

Section 5. Bulletin Boards. The City shall permit the use of a bulletin
board by the Association for the posting of notices relating to official Association
business, so long as the matters posted are not inflammatory or otherwise
detrimental to the operations of the Department.
Section 6. Damage of Personal Effects. Employees who, in the line of duty,
suffer damage to personal property and/or clothing, will have same repaired or replaced
at Department expense. Damage caused by ordinary wear and tear will not be
covered, and replacement will be limited to personal effects of regular and ordinary
value (i.e.-no Rolex watches).
Section 7. Personnel Files. Employees shall have access to complete copies
of their personnel files at any reasonable time. The employee may request removal of
material that he/she believes is erroneous or irrelevant. If the employee does not agree
with the City's decision, he/she may prepare a statement responding to or supplementing
the material in the file, and that statement will be placed in the file. Employees may
request that written reprimands be expunged from personnel files after a minimum period
of three years if there is no recurrence of similar misconduct for which the employee was
disciplined during that period. Employees may request that records of more serious
discipline be expunged from personnel files after a minimum period of five years if there is
no recurrence of similar misconduct for which the employee was disciplined during that
period. Requests for the expunging of disciplinary references in personnel files, pursuant
to this section, shall not be unreasonably denied. In making this determination a factor
the Chief may consider is that the Lieutenant is in a supervisory position. Nothing in this
section shall be construed as requiring the City to destroy any employment records
necessary to the City's case if it is engaged in litigation in any way related to that
employee's employment at the time those records would otherwise be destroyed.
Section 8. Uniforms and Equipment. All commissioned lieutenants shall
be furnished all required uniforms and equipment. Uniforms shall be dry-cleaned at the
City's expense as necessary. Lieutenants assigned by the City to non uniform
positions (detectives and administrative) will be paid an annual clothing allowance of
$275.00 which will be available for the reimbursement of expenses incurred in the
purchase of clothing needed in the investigations unit (sport coats, etc.). Such payment
shall be made upon assignment to investigations and each anniversary date of the
assignment to investigations thereafter.
Section 9. Jury Duty. An employee required by law to serve on jury duty shall
continue to receive salary for up to forty (40) hours for each separate occasion the
employee is required to serve, shall be relieved of regular duties, and assigned to day
shift for the period of time so assigned to jury duty. The fees, exclusive of mileage,
paid by the Court for jury duty shall be forwarded to the City. The City shall have the
right to request the court to excuse the employee from any or all jury duty if there are
circumstances that would make the absence of the employee an undue hardship on the
2005-2007 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT
14
City or other personnel.
When an employee is notified to serve on jury duty, he/she will inform his/her
immediate supervisor as soon as possible, but not later than two weeks in advance,
regarding the dates of absence from regular duties.
Lieutenants who have time remaining on their shift at the time of release or
dismissal from jury duty shall immediately contact their supervisor to determine whether
they should report for duty.

defense and indemnification pursuant to the City Code.
ARTICLE 11: PROHIBITED PRACTICES
Section 1. Neither the Association nor the City shall initiate, authorize, or
participate in any strike, work stoppage, work slow -down, lock -outs, or any other
organized effort that interferes with the efficient operation of the Department.
Section 2. Employees covered by this Agreement who engage in any of the
actions prohibited in Section 1 above shall be subject to such disciplinary actions as
may be determined, up to and including discharge and termination, by the City. The
Association agrees that the level of any such disciplinary action issued by the City,shall
be final and binding, and in no case be construed as a violation by the City of any
provision of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 12: REDUCTION -IN -FORCE
Section 1. Layoff. Employee layoffs shall be made on the basis of job
performance and seniority. Absent significant and material distinctions in job
performance, the employee with the least amount of seniority shall be laid off first.
Relative job performance shall be determined on the basis of qualifications and job
performance evaluations.
Section 2. Recall. Employees laid off in accordance with the provisions of
this Article will be offered reinstatement into future vacancies of the same classification
in the inverse order of layoff, for a period of one year from the date of layoff. An
employee that has been laid off must keep the City informed of their current address
and phone number. An employee who fails to report for duty within three days of being
recalled (or commits to return within three days, even though he/she can not actually
return for up to two calendar weeks due to the requirement to give notice to an interim
employer), or who rejects an opportunity for reinstatement, shall be removed from the
recall list.
2005-2007 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT
15
ARTICLE 13: DISCIPLINARY INVESTIGATIONS
Section 1. Disciplinary Standards. No employee shall be subject to
discipline except for just cause. An employee who engages in off -duty misconduct may
be subject to discipline when: (1) the off -duty misconduct, if known, would harm the
City's reputation in the community; (2) the off -duty conduct materially affects the
employer's business operation; or (3) the conduct is inconsistent with the office that the
police lieutenant holds.
Section 2. Disciplinary Investigations. In criminal matters, an employee
shall be afforded those constitutional rights available to any citizen. In administrative
matters relating to job performance, the following guidelines shall be follows:
a. "Interrogation" as used herein shall mean any questioning by an agent of
the City who is conducting an investigation (as opposed to a routine inquiry) of the
employee being interrogated, when the agent knows (or reasonably should know) that
the questioning could result in employee discipline.
b. Before interrogation, the employee shall be informed of the nature of the
matter in sufficient detail to reasonably apprise him/her of the matter. Nothing herein
shall operate as a waiver of the Association's right to request bargaining information.
C. Any interrogation of an employee shall be at a reasonable hour,
preferably. when the employee is on duty, unless the exigencies of the investigation
dictate otherwise.
d. Any interrogation shall take place at the City Police Department, except
when impractical. The employee shall be advised of their right to and shall be allowed
that Association representation to the extent allowed by the law.
e. The questioning shall not be overly long and the employee shall be
entitled to such intermissions as are reasonably necessary.
f. The employee shall not be subjected to any offensive language or
abusive questioning, nor shall he/she be threatened with dismissal, transfer or other
disciplinary punishment as a guise to attempt to obtain his/her resignation.
g. The Employer shall not require any employee covered bythis Agreement
to take or be subjected to a lie detector test as a condition of continued employment.
Nor shall polygraph evidence of any kind be admissible in disciplinary proceedings,
except by stipulation of the parties to this Agreement
h. The Department may, and upon request will, tape record any
interrogation. Upon request, a copy of the tape/transcript (if made) will be provided to
the lieutenant.

ARTICLE 14: GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Section 1. Grievance Procedure Steps.
a. Any grievance that may arise between parties concerning the application,
meaning, or interpretation of this Agreement, shall be settled in the manner prescribed
by this grievance procedure.
b. A "Grievance" is defined as a claim or dispute by an employee, group of
employees, or the Association concerning the interpretation or application of the
provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this procedure shall prohibit an employee from
discussing a complaint directly with his supervisor or department head without
representation by the Association, as provided by State Law.
C. Should a subject for claim or dispute arise, there shall be no stoppage of
work by employees, but an earnest effort shall be made to settle such claims or
disputes promptly and in the manner hereinafter outlined.
Step 1
. An employee or a group of employees claiming to have a grievance shall
discuss the complaint with the immediate supervisor within ten (10) calendar
days of the alleged occurrence, or when they reasonably should have known of
the alleged occurrence.
Step 2
The supervisor shall attempt informal resolution of the grievance within
seven (7) calendar days after it is presented.
Step 3
Provided the grievance is not settled satisfactorily at step 2, it may be
presented to the Police Chief (or designee) by the Association within seven (7)
calendar days of the supervisor's response or the expiration of the time limit in
step 2. The submission shall be in writing, setting forth the nature of the
grievance, the articles of this agreement allegedly violated, and the requested
remedy.
Step 4
The Police Chief or designee shall attempt to settle the grievance within
ten (10) calendar days after it has been presented, and shall respond in writing.
Step 5
If the grievance is not settled by the Police Chief within the time allowed, it
may be presented in writing to the City Manager, with a copy to the Director of
Human Resources, by the Association within seven (7) calendar days of the
Police Chiefs response or the expiration of the time limit in step 4.
2005-2007 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT
17
Step 6
The City Manager shall have fourteen (14) days to review the grievance.
If the City Manager does not respond or otherwise settle the grievance within
the fourteen -day period, the grievance shall be automatically advanced to Step
7, and shall not be forfeited by either party.
Step 7
a. If the grievance is not settled at Step 6, and involves a matter other
than discipline, the dispute will be referred to the negotiating committee of both
parties. The two committees shall meet within ten (10) calendar days to
consider the dispute. At that meeting, all pertinent facts and information will be
reviewed in an effort to resolve the matter through conciliation. If no satisfactory
solution is reached in this step, the matter may be submitted in writing to
arbitration within 30 calendar days of the conciliation meeting.
b. If the grievance is not settled at Step 6 and involves discipline
other than an oral or written warning, the matter may be submitted, in writing, to
arbitration within thirty (30) calendar days of the date that the City Manager's
review is due. Oral and written warnings may only be grieved through step 6 of
this procedure. However, if the City attempts to introduce prior oral or written
warnings in a subsequent discipline case that is subject to arbitration, the City
shall be required to prove that it had just cause to issue those prior oral or
written warnings as well as the instant discipline.
Section 2. Arbitration Panel. The City and the Association shall try to agree
upon a mutually acceptable arbiter. If the parties fail to agree, they shall request a list
of seven (7) arbiters from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, with all
arbiters being members of the National Academy of Arbitrators. The parties shall
alternatively strike from the list until only one name remains. The decision of the
Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties.
a. The Arbitrator shall make his/her own rules of procedure. The Arbitrator
shall have no authority to amend, alter, or modify this Agreement or its terms, and shall
limit his/her decision solely to the interpretation and application of this Agreement.
b. Each grievance or dispute will be submitted separately except when the
City and the Lieutenant Association mutually agree to have more than one grievance or
dispute submitted to the Arbitrator.
C. The losing party shall bear the expense of the Arbitrator. The losing party
shall be denominated in the award. When there is no winning party, the cost of the
Arbiter shall be bome equally by the parties. All other costs and expenses will be paid
by the party incurring them, including costs of representation.
2005-2007 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT
18
d. The Arbitrator shall have thirty (30) days from the close of the hearing to
issue an award.
Section 3. Time Limits. Time limits will be strictly adhered to, but may be
extended by mutual written agreement upon reasonable request, except for situations
where no timely grievance is filed. While forfeiture under this clause will finally resolve
the matter in dispute, it will not establish a precedent between the parties on issues of
contractual interpretation.
Section 4. Multiple Procedures. In the case of disciplinary actions, both
appealable to the Civil Service Commission and grievable under the terms of this
contract, a written election of remedies shall be made after receipt of the Step 6
response. An employee may elect to either pursue an appeal to the Civil Service
Commission or continue with the contractual grievance procedure, but not both. If
mutually agreed, time limits will be extended to complete a reasonable investigation
before the selection of remedies is made. An appeal will be timely under the Civil
Service rules if it is filed within ten (10) days of the completion of step 6 of the grievance
procedure.
Section 5. Step 3 Submission. In those instances where disciplinary action
is based on reasonable evidence of the commission of a crime, or the proposed
discipline involves suspension or termination of the employee, Step 3 of the Grievance
Procedure will be initiated immediately.
Section 6. Just Cause Standard. No employee may be discharged,
suspended without pay, demoted (except as provided below) or disciplined in any way
except for just cause. The City may withhold a step increase, for a specified period of
time, if it has just cause.
Section 7. Probationary Period. All newly promoted employees must serve
a probationary period. The probationary period upon promotion shall be one yearfrom
the date of appointment. The probationary period shall be extended for the number of
work days equal to the number of work days an employee was absent in excess of 10
work days during the probationary period; provided that the taking of scheduled and
approved vacation shall not be counted toward the ten day period for promotional
probationers. The probationary period is an extension of the promotional process;
therefore, the provisions of this Article will not apply to employees- if -they are demoted
during the promotional probationary period for not meeting the requirements of the
classification. Grievances brought by probationary employees involving issues other
than demotion may be processed in accordance with this Article.
Section 8. Parties to the Agreement. In as much as this is an agreement
between the City and the Association, no individual employee may make use of the
2005-2007 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT
19
provisions of this Article, except as expressly provided above.
ARTICLE 15: NONDISCRIMINATION
The Employer and the Association shall not unlawfully discriminate against any
individual with respect to compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment
because of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, or disability. Claims of
unlawful discrimination shall not be processed in accordance with the grievance
procedure denominated herein.
The Employer and the Association agree that they will cooperate in complying
with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
ARTICLE 16: DRUG TESTING
Section 1. Reporting to work under the influence of alcohol and/or illegal drugs,
or the use, sale, or possession by an employee of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited and will
result in disciplinary action, including immediate termination. For the purpose of this
policy, substances that require a prescription or other written approval from a licensed
physician or dentist for their use shall also be included when used other than as
prescribed. Each employee must advise the Employer if they are using prescription or
other over-the-counter drugs they know or reasonably should know may impair their ability
to perform job functions and/or operate machinery such as automobiles. Under
appropriate circumstances the Employer may request the employee to provide written
medical authorization from a physician to perform various essential job functions while
using such drugs.
Any voluntary request by an employee for assistance with his/her own alcohol
abuse problem will remain confidential and shall not be used as the basis for any
disciplinary action provided that the request for assistance is initiated prior to being
identified as impaired through the procedures herein.
The parties recognize the essential purpose of any law enforcement agency is to
enforce the criminal laws. Moreover, the parties recognize the courts have held it would
substantially impair law enforcement agencies if they were required to employ individuals
within their ranks who have violated the very laws said agencies are charged with
enforcing. Therefore, the Employer reserves the right to refuse to employ or continue the
employment of individuals who are or have been engaged in serious criminal conduct,
whether drug related or not.
Section 2. Where a supervisory employee of the City has a reasonable
suspicion to believe an employee is under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, or is
abusing the use of prescription or over-the-counter drugs, or is using illegal drugs, the
employee in question will be asked to submit to discovery testing. Such tests include
breath tests, urinalysis and/or blood screens to identify any involvement with alcohol or
2005-2007 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT
P1
such drugs.
An employee who refuses to submit to discovery testing for alcohol and/or illegal
drugs shall be conclusively presumed to be under the influence of alcohol or an illegal
drug for the purpose of administering this Article, and therefore will be subject to discipline,
including immediate discharge.
Section 3. For the purpose of administering this Article the following definition of
terms is provided:
a. Reasonable Suspicion. Reasonable suspicion is based on specific
objective facts and reasonable inferences from those facts, that discovery testing will
produce evidence of a violation of this policy;

shall not be observed by the Employer when the urine specimen is given.
e. All specimen containers, vials, and bags used to transport the specimen,
shall be sealed to safeguard their integrity (upon request, in the presence of the
Employer, employee and Association representative) and proper chain -of -custody

specimen may be requisitioned and sent to a laboratory chosen by the Association for
testing. The cost of this test will be paid by the Association or the employee. Failure to
exercise this option may not be considered as evidence in an arbitration or other
proceeding concerning the drug test or its consequences. The results of this second test
shall be provided to the City.
Section 7. The employee and the Association (upon consent of the employee)
shall be informed of the results of all tests, and provided with all documentation regarding
the tests as soon as the test results are available. Such disclosure shall be in
conformance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Section 8. The parties designate Robert Petrie and Samuel Straus as the
Medical Review Officer (MRO) to review all confirmed positive test results and
