STAFF REpORT By: Patricia A. Richardson, City Attorney
DEPT: Law
Background: Under the current Federal Way City Code junk vehicles are declared public nuisances. Since
2000, code enforcement officerS have responded to nearly 400 complaints of junk vehicles. Enforcement of junk
vehicles on private property has been limited to civil and criminal penalties because the traditional process of
abatement is time consuming and costly. .
.
The proposed ordinance would give enforcement officials the authority to impound such vehicles and vehicle
parts after giving the property owner and registered owner notice and an opportunity for a hearing.

RTID/ST2 Comments
VIA:

SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND:
Barring significant changes in plans, both Sound Transit (ST) and the Regional Transportation Investment
District (RTID) will use the October-December time period to finalize project lists and financing plans. for .
a combined ballot measure itii'<:iill.2007. . .
RTIn's funding sources are 0.1 % saies tax and 0.8% ni~tor vehicle excise tax. Sound Transit~s fuildlng
sources for STI is an increase of up t~0.5% sales tax. The Sound TransitBoard is considering three
funding levels: . .. .
. A 0.3% sales tax would extend light rail south to Kent-Des Moines Road, thus falling short of the.
City Council goal ofserYing..Fed~nVay . . . .. .. · . , .
. A 0.4% sales tax would extend light'rilil south to the Federal Way Transit Center, meeting the
nrinimum goal"of seivingFederal Way. ..
. A 0.5% sales tax would extend light rail south to the Port of Tacoma, most closely attaining the
goal of connecting Federa~ Way to Seattle and Tacoma.
This next three months becomes an absolutely critical period not only for the RTID and for ST, butfor the
qty as well. D~cisions will be made ~~t williinpact transportation ~nd tr;m~it i.nyestrnents in 9ur region.
.. for the-next tWodecad~. .... . . ... H.. .... .. ........-. .",.....
From a. staff standpoint, we see a Vital need for the City, from the elected-officialleveI on down, to be
active in both the Sound Tran~it .and RTIo proceSS<:.S. Doing so will enable us to push for investment
strategies that inclU:de key Federal Way project" priorities, and to work to ensure that any combined ballot
measures deliver a fair share of benefits to our cornritimity, our residents, our businesses, and all those
who want to efficiently move peOple and .goods through the City. .
As we look to the RTIDand ST efforts, we believe the.best. strategy is to key in on the most important
. investments to Federal Way:
. The Triangle Interchange: This project is being carried on the RTID list and would receive $50
million in funding through the RTID's current "Blueprint for Progress" proposal. But we have to
be Vigilant, given that cost increases for the Alaskan Way Viaduct and the State Route 520 Bridge
- and expected sharp cost increases for all other RTID projects ~ will put pressure on how many
"Blueprint for Progress" projects can be funded, and at what level. While the Triangle has been,
is, and will be the top RTID prior!ty, the City also has a stake in supporting full funding for the
Intersate 5/State Route 509 project as well.

.. Light-rail transit extensions to Federal Way: In draft plans for a Sound Transif"Phase 2"
baJ10t measure, light-rail extensions to 320lh StreetlFederal Way Transit Center are incorporated
Into both the 'medium' and 'maximized rail' investment scenarios that are being taken to open
houses. Again, in view of the fair-share issue - and with the knowiedge that our coinmunity is an
integral part of the larger regio~ - the City needs to be vigilant in working the prOCess and
speaking to its priorities. With regard to light-rail, the Council also has made its feelings known
regarding the most appropriate LRT ali~ent through Federal.Way, favoring.an Interstate 5-area'
extension;
.
While we caIUlot predict the outcome of an RTID-ST2 baJ10t measure, it is clear that the stakes are huge,
and that the climate is an uncertain one. As .noted above', sharp cost sPikes for materials suc~ as asphalt;
steel, and concrete are driving project costs up accordingly, and RTID in particular will have t'o make'
difficult decisions about project lis~. .. . .
In short, we believe that our biggest enemy at this junctUre is complacency, and suggest'implementation '
of an. action plan that includes the foJ1owing: . ' .
. .
· Written Documentation .of *he City's prio~tiesi The RTID has requested written: .commeiitS on
its "Blueprint for Progfess".by Oct. 27, and STcoiltinues to solicit cOtnments as 'Weil. We would
propose to prepare a written connnenlletter for both RTID and ST purposes. Critical to ST is
what funding level should be recommended. :.
· . Council,role in verbaJIy c()m~unicating aty.prio~ti~s: there will he.. a n~~ber~fupcoming
meetings of the RniJExeCqtive Board,tbe ST Board, arid joint meetings ofthe tWo boards,
~here time is allocated .on the agenda for public comment. Vie recommend. using these .
opportunities to communicate City priorities. Upcoming meetings include a joint meeting of.
RTID and the st Board for 1 (j a.in:l'hursday, Oct. 5 at Sound Transit (Union Station, Seattle),
and a meeting of the RTID Executive Board for9:30a.m.. Friday; Oct. 13.at the King County
Courthouse Cotindl Chambers (516 Third St.~ Seattle).
. Re-establish Aefion'Group:.to tight for Tria'ngle-fu:odi~g: Previously'theCity:aiul Chan1ber~ ' , .., . .'.' ,.,
joined by .state Senator Tracey EideandState Rep. Skip Priest, as well as King County Council '
MemberPeteVon Reichbauer, formed an action team to fight forTriangle funding. .At that point,
we did no.t have assurances-regarding the Triaitgle's place on RTID lists. Giveti theuricertain
climate referenc;ed. above, we will reconvene :the group and we will specifically seek to add
Weyerhaeuser, the Washington Trucking Association, the Port of Tacoma, and perhaps organiZed
labor to the group. Weyerhaeuser's participation C()uld be particularly important, given the fact. .
that the company will be asked to be a major 'funder' of any roads-transit ballot campaign.
..
Staff proposes to prepare Written inateiial and talking points, to make contacts regarding'the action group,
and to do arty other staff work requested both by LUTC and the full Council on October 17dt.

ltE: Concerns with no funding for Interstate 5, High!Vay 18, Highway 161 "Triangle"
Inter~hange in October..24work-in-progress draft of Chairman's Proposal .
DeafChainnanaunney:
.....
I write this letter on behalf of the City of Federal Way, to e~press our concerns with the RTID
Chairman's Proposal, a copy of which we re~eived on Tuesday. We are extremely disappointed
to see that this 20-year regi()nal tran~ortati()n proposal includes n~.fundi!lg forthe !ri3IlgJ~
-Interchange tht()uih FederaiWay- one or't~e. most congested. and unsafe.interch~g~ iJ.l the.
State,ofWashington~ ..' .
It seems iJl~gical to have ~ RTID package go forward that does not complet~ the funding f9i.the .
]- 5/SR -l8lSR.-l <>}. interchang~~ This 1-5 interchange .is rated as th.e fifth-most-congestedfreeway
chokepoint in the state, and is the site ofnumerous "high accident locations." The interchange
also is a major through-put connection for freigh~ traffic cOll)ing from and bound to the. Port of
Tacoma. Furth.er, there are co~sider~b~e returns oninv~tinen~ with this project': if the $100
million in funding :from the 2005 Transportation Partnership Act remains:iJ)ta~t, another $50 .
. milli()n will complete this interchange, giving R TlD a project that provides major vallie for Ii .
relatively small inve~tment compared.to other mega-projects on. the list.
. . '
. .
Ad~itionally, the Triangle ~terchange is a very g~od fit for any RTID proposals based on the
very "Guiding Principles" that you set forth hi developing your 20~year proposal:
.
. No.2 and No.3 - Build off the Nickel Package and take into account actions by this .
year's L.egislatur~: The Triangle project fits both principles very welJ,. having r~~ei:v.ed.
$2.96 million. through ,the Ni.ckel Package for environmental work,.and $l()(lmiJIion' i.n
. the 2005 TP A toward final pre-construction work and project cOl1structiori. The project
also received a'$5.6 million eannark through the "SAFETEA-LU" measure recently.
enacted by Congress~ As we noted". it is estimated ,that RTID can round out.funditigJor.
this project with a.$50 million investment.
.. No.4 --Identify corridors and investments to maximize improved traffic flow: As
we noted, the Triangle is a major 1-5 chokepoint, several hours per day on a seven-day..;a-
week basis. Revamping this interchange m*es a significant iinprovement in .traffic flow
, - both on 1-5 and through parallel stat~,routes and 10calc.orridorsjJi FederafWay.
. No.. 6 - Enhance economic' prosperity and movement offreight: . Aswe indi~ated, the
Triangle plays a major role in moving freight to and from.the Port of Tacoma. For that.
very reason~ thePort ofTaco~ahaswritten'lett~rs of support forfunding this project. .
. No.8-Integrate with major safety projects: The Triangle Interchange is a major
safety concern to the Washington State Departm~nt ,of Transportation (WSDOT). The
interchange is the site. of five (5) WSDOT -designated High Accident ~cations (HALs).
· No.9 -Identify where key rights':'of-way ar:e neceSsary and,cost-,effectiveness is
enhanced it land is acquired a~ today's prices: Again, the Ti:iangle project meets this
criterion. The.WSPOT i~ U$ingJederal,dQlIm:s to help with:rigbt-~f-way.acquisition; and
nearby development projects wiH be driVIng up land yalues.'. .
.
. '
Mr. Chainnan, ~llong with putting our concerns in writing, we would like to' set 'up a meeting
where we can discuss these isSues and'convey our thoughts face-to-face. We will be working to
schedule such.a meeting. It is' the same concern we relayed to you when ail,initial Chairman's
Proposal was fashioned earlier ihis yea.r. . ' . . ' ,.
W elook fo~ard to discussing these issues with you and tha~' YOU in advance for aJlowing us to
forward our concerns. '

Dear Mayor Park:
Thank you for your March 22, 2006, letter informing me of the City 'CoWlcil's
. support for extending light ~il to fedetal Way during SOUnd~ralJsit 2 (ST2), the
next phase of regional transit improvements. As you may now be aware, I sent you a:
letter on MarCh 27, 2006, seekIDg yoUr review and c<>II1IIlent-on the. ScOpe definitions .
of candidate S1'2 projeCts that affect your jurisdiction. Your recent letter helps
accomplish that goat However, as you mention in your cOITespondence~ there is yet
more work to be done .by. both your cOWlcil and SOWld Tr3nsit and I look forward to
. . p.earing.fromyou:fUrther.
. The currertfproJect ~t exten& liglitrall to.F~deral Way (pro]ect.i1umber S2)
d~scn"bes aJight rail extension from the K,ent-Des Moines. ROad area to the Tacoma
Dome. We developed a representative alignment for the pUrposes of developing a
cost esti~te;this aJjgmtlent is generally along State Route 99 an~ is assumed to be
in an aerial configuration along the entire len~h. Through the urban core of Federal
Way, the alignment is assmned.to deviate from SR 99 and serve the recently
~omplet~d Federal W ~y Transit Center with a'rail station locate4 there: Further
south,:the ali~entagain follows;S~ 9~,.and ~en travels a sh~.distance west of
the. highway to the South Fedeial Way Park & Ride area, where another station
would be lo~ted to serve yotircity. . .
We reall.ze.:that.th~ are o~er optionS for sei'vipg Federal Way with light rail,
ittcluding following Interstate S for some portions of the syStem, as weil asnmning
light rail at street surface for portions. I want to re-emphasize that the alignment
described in project si is repre~entative in n~ture, and does not indicate any
decisions by SOWld Transit as to the preliminary OT mal design or location of such a
future light rail syste'nl. The representative alignment is intend~d.to provide
infomiationa~ui the gen~l bCnefitS.. itnpa<;:tS and costs oftlns System at a
. conceptual level. Should this project be inclUded in whole or in part in the ST2 Plan,
[mal design decisions would be made after the project receives voter approval for
funding, and thro~gh a rigorous environmental review of alternatives and
Consultation with you, yoUr citizens .and other jurisdictions along the route.

In. your letter, you a:dvisedof~e City's preferencethat,ajight rail extension to.

businesses. TIiank you for sharing your concem,.and I appreciate Your efforts to help.
us address .such a significant and complex issue at this~rltstage of planning for
ST2 projects. Though lrealize that Joni Ead. and' her staff have been conSulting with
you,.your cOWleil and y()ur staff, I want to. again explam why the projects that extend
light rail from Sea-Tac to Tacoma were scoped as an aerial alignment along SR 99.
Please note that the scope and cost e~mates for thisse~ of projects have been
updated and are nownumbered S27. S28, S29/S30 ~ 82. They ~ be viewed on
our.ST2 website at ~:soundtrtinSit.org/st2. .
As you know. lilajor cllpital projects such as transit rail lines mUst go through an
extensive environmentalievieW process before a final design and cost 'estimate is.
developed. Extending light rail to Federal Way would require such review and
would include a thorough evaluation of alignment alternatives. Given that we are in
a very early stage of pl~ing. it is. more appropriate to develop a "represeI:1tative"
alignment to use as the basis for developing a cost estimate rather than developing
multiple alignments, scopes and cost estimates. Our objective is to'develop a cost
es~te that is rob~st ~Qugh to encompass the rang.e of -alternative routes and help
.the Sound Transit Board Understand the scale of the investment and its potential
benefitS and impacts without getting intQ details that would be more thoroughly
examined at a future date. In addition.. we. want to provide affected' corinnunities with
that same information so that they can provide the type of conunents and suggestions
that the City ofFedeial Way haS provided. We will be using your comments in the
next stage of work on.the project.

DRAFT

Dear Chair -Ladenburg:
At the June; July and August~eetings, the South County Area Transportation Board
(SCA TBd) reviewed information provided by Sound Transit on possible sCeQarios for
Sound Transit Phase 2 (ST2), and discussed the following policy questions that are
illustrated by the various scenarios.
1, Does SCA TBd want to recommend scenarios that focus on capital more than operating?
For example, extensions of light rail compared to new .or expansion of existing regi~mH
e:(C.press bus routes? . .
2. What is SCATBd's preference for focusing on the regional spine (light rail) compared to
dispersed investments (parking facilities)?
3. How.in1ichdoes.s~ATBd.wantto recommend for ST2 :investments versus planning for
or securing right otway for ST3?
4. Does SCATBd warino rule out the lower tax levels? If so, wouldSCATBd recommend
only .4 and .5, or also .3 scenarios?
5. Would SCATBd want to recommend that ST identify revenues for a 25-year period,
rather than a 20-year period? Does SCATBd want to weigh in on the assumption that .
construction will occur.simultaneously in the east, south.andnorth corridors?
. .. . ." .
.
Based on thatdiscussi.<)TI, the following are SCATBd'g preliminary recommendations for
. your consideration in deve.lopiIig more refined plan options for ST2.
Emphasize capital investments: The ST2 plan should emphasize eriensions of the. .
light rail line and 'IncludeotJIer early investments that will improve the use of Phase
. 1 investments while the Ught rail is being extended.
. SCA TBd members agree that extending light rail as far south as possible is a high
priority for STI. In addition, SeA TBd feels it is imperative to show citizens early
progress on STI projects. .Because extension ofthe light rail spine will take longerto
complete, SCA TBd recommends providing complementary investments early in the
Phase 2 implementation timeframe. This would include projects such as.additional
parking in the commuter rail corridor, and a direct access ramp between SR 167 and .
- Smith Street. In developing ST2 plans, Sound Transit will need to find the optimal
balance between extension of the spine, which will occur over the longer term, and
. continued improvements tQexisting serVice and dispersed investments, which could be
implemented sooner.
Support Urban Centers: Regionally-designated urban. centers not served on .this
prioritized system should be supported with transit facilities that will increase th~
centers' readiness for "future Sound Transit service and system connectivity."
.

The Sound Transit Long-Range Plan, adopted by the ST Board in 2005, states,
"Throughout the ttre<1An~lft1tation of the all-day, frequent; and fast high capacity
transit system, SodndlIQs~ prioritize its light rail investment funds for the
completion of the Everetl-Seattle- Tacoma Link light rail system and the HeT system.
directly connecting Bellevue with that north-south rail spine. Regionally-designated
. urban centers not served on this prioritized system should be supported with transit
facilities that will increase the Centers' readiness for future Sound Transit service and
system conriectivity."
Pursuant to this policy, SCATBd supports that inc1usionofthe Burien Parking .
Garage/Transit Oriented Development project in the S1'2 plan. This project will enhance
connectivity and service for the West Seattle-Burien area of Southwest King County..
Increasing parking availability for transit riders in tl:iis part of King County would

limited at the ST South 154th Street station, such that the Burien Transit Center. Parking .
. Garage would assist'both Sound. Transit .andMetro in addressing an ever':'iticre$ing .
demand for .parking~ . . ... .
Focus on hiS!her levels of investment: The ST2plan should focus on. investments
that can be achieved with a 0.4% or .0.5% saies tax increase, so that .significant

At this early stage, if appears that the 0.4% or 0.5% sales tax increase levels will he
needed in order to generate sufficient funds for the improvements that are needed.
SCA TBd believes 14at the public will support higher levels of investment if it is
convinced. that the projects are needed and can be delivered. SCATBd encourages Pierce.
County's contributions to the extensions of light rail in south King County to increase the
services.to Pierce County residents. In addition, recognizing that STI will be coupled
with RTID projects, both agencies will need to clarify the total cost to taxpayers. so they
understand what the package will buy and at what cost. SCA TBd looks forward to .
additional details about financial plaris that will be available over the coming monthS.. ..
Consider a 25 vear timefraine: A longer duration for the plan may result in a
greater ability to make the needed investments.
SCATBd understands that the current scenarios have been developed for a 20-year
financing and implementation timeframe. SCA TBd suggests that Sound Transit and
RTID consider a 25 year period for financing, which may improve bonding capabilities.
However, this would need to be balanced with a concern about extending the
implementation of projects until 2030.
Minimize plalininenr secunnS! neht of way for ST3: ST2 should be a large enough
package to include the necessary improvements in this phase.

While SCA TBd recognizes that not all candidate projects are likely to be included in
S1'2, it is supporting the higher levels of taxes at this time because it believes that the
voters will support a package that will deliver projects of regional benefit. Because no
one can be certain if or when ST3 will happen, it would be very confusing and
presumptuous tovoters to publicly referto ST3 until we can have a firm delivery
schedule for Phase Land Phase II improvements. .
. .
Coordinate seQuencine of investments: The sequencing of Sound Transit and .RTID
investments should be coordinated to provide the greatest benefit and minimize '. . .
impacts.
-;;.
SCATBd believes. the Board should explore with th~ RTID Board the oppo~ties of
sequencing improvements so that early results are visible to the public, and
improvements can be distributed geographically and modally to lninimize impacts and
ensure continued mobility throughout the constructio~ period. The following examples'
are provided: . .
· Accelerate RTID and ST improvements iIi the SR167, 1- 405 and SR 509 Corrid<;>rs .
so that the maxim~ corridor capacity in both roads and transit can be. deliveted td the
public prior to the closure of the ViadUct. With an}'protractedclosure of the Via4uct;J.;. .
5 alone cannot handle the significant traffic volumes' that would normally detour to it.
Therefore, the two Boards should seek to expedite improvements in other Corridors in
advance of the' Viaduct closure to provide commuters and freight a reliable d~tour
during the .~e when Jhe Viaduct is closed. Itmigllt be useful to conduct .some
regional modeling to determine the best alternatives for maintaining mobility duriD.g .
the closure of the Viaduct.
· IfRTID investments in the SR 520.corridor are a high priority for early
implementation, RTID and ST might consider focusing ST2 early investments in the .
South corridor. This would distribute the impacts of construction throughout the .
region, minimizing adverse effects in .one. area. In addition, 'improvements such as .
parking in the commuter tail corridor would maximize use of Phase 1 investments and.
encouragecoinmuters to shift from SOVs to transit. This could also improve.rnobility
for freight during this timeframe.
:. ",. . ~ '.
i:
. Once Sound TraDsit has finalized plans forST2, SCATBd recommends that ST2 plans
clearly articulate how the proposed regional investments would benefit the region and
citizens of all subareas'so that these issues do not become obstacles to Sound Transit's
success in the next phase. In addition, SCATBd members have indicated the need to
clarify for the public the distinctions betweeIiMetro Transit, Sound Transit and the
Regional Transportation Investment District (RTID) and explain how the investments. of
each are complementary. This is important now in order to lay the groundwork for a .
. successful vote in the future.
We want to remind you that these are our preliminary comments on ST2, and they are
predicated on assumption that these investments will be balanced with RTID investments
throughout the region. When more information is available on potential RTID projects,
we may provide additional comments for your use in re~ning ST2 plans.

'..
Overall Points .
. ...; ~ ...... ..... ..:: -.' ~"
· . Federal Way strongly supports continued investment in transponation and transit
infrastructure, both in terms of improving congested state highway corridors and
in providing high-capacity transit alternatives to the public.
· The City has strived to be a regional player on these issues, but also wants to.
ensure our growing community is treated fairly as joint ballot propositions are
ironed out for Sound Transit Phase II and the RTID. .
. ST Phase II
. .
· Federal Way believes that any Phase II ballot package should contain a Light Rail
Transit extension to our City - specifically, extending LRT from the current
SeaTac Airport terminus at least to the Federal Way Transit Center at 31 ih Street.
.
.
.
.
. Many ofthe most capital- and operating-intensive Sound Transit Phase I
investments in South King County were devoted to commuter rail trains and
commuter rail service running through the Green River Valley. We believe it is
. critical that Phase II focus on light-rail transit extensions to the south and also
believe it is important to c~imect the starter-light rail"'system in Tacoma to Federal
Way at some future point.
. The City has worked with our Federal Way Chamber, Sound Transit staff, and
citizens at large, and strongly believes that a light-rail ali~ent running south
should utilize the Interstate 5 corridor. We have previously communicated this
strong community preference to the ST Board. A previously-considered.
alignment along State Route 99 would unduly inipact businesse~ that have been.
affected by recent SR-99wideningprojects, could cause vehicular and ped~strian
safety problems, and would have visual and. noise impacts as well.

.investments. ''Completion of the Triangle Interchange -:the state's fifth most
. congested interchange - is Federal Way's highest RTID priority. '
. The City::~sosupports the full funding: of the S~te Route 5.09 proj~Ct and.vimts
..to ensure, that as .RTID deals with project cost increases due to rising concrete and
asphaltprices, that the 509 project continue to feature "collector/distributor" latles
along 1-5 down to 320th Street. ... .. . .. .. . '
. In terms of the. Triangle, its. overall cost has increased, as has been: the case with. .
other projects. Because the Triangle can be completed for a relatively modest
amount offun4ihg, webcilieve'it makes senSe for the RTID to increase itS.

(NOTE: Overall cost figures and project components are still under discuSsio~,

Target Corporation/Safe City Equipment Grant
Background:
The Target/Safe City Equipment Grant will provide the Federal Way Police Department with
stationary and mobile video surveillance capabilities in the downtown Core and The Commons
Mall. This equipment will be used in conjunction with the development of a community
partnership with the business community that encompasses information sharing regarding trends
in retail theft and crimes against the businesses and their patrons. The addition of the video
surveillance will give officers the ability to view potential crimes in progress while responding to
the call. It will also provide video for prosecution of those cases. The grant would provide the
City of Federal Way with approximat~ly 20 PTZ video cameras that would be placed in The
Commons Mall, parking lots, Steele Lake Park and along the streets within the Downtown Core. .
The grant would also provide one mobile surveillance trailer, which would also have video
surveillance capabilities. The video system would be able to be controlled and viewed over the
Federal Way Intranet the same way that the current cameras are available at 320th arid Pacific
Highway S and also at 31th and Pacific Highway S.
The Target Corporation has generously made the equipment available through this grant so that
the Safe City Program can be implemented in Federal Way. The Safe City program is designed
to improve economic development by encouraging businesses to locate in an area where crime is
deterred through the use of video surveillance and info;rmation sharing. It also provides citizens .
with a greater sense of security due to the crime reduction efforts.

Federal Way, WA
.Police Department
Grant Proposal
&3
.
My name is Shawn Swanson. I am a police officer for the City of Federal Way in
Washington State. I am assigned as a mall resource officer at the Commons Mall.
The Commons Mall lies in the middle of our city of 85,000 citizens. It is at the hub of our
city's business district.
The City of Federal Way is a diverse and
dynamic community that hosts a number of
cultural events, such as Han Woo Ri.
Han Woo Ri is an annual festival celebrating
our large Korean-American population. The
event is held in several locations around
Federal Way including the Commons Mall
and Celebration Park.
The city hosts a large Fourth of July event in
Celebration Park. Each year, approximately
10,000 people come to the city's premiere park to enjoy fireworks~ live music and food.
Federal Way plays host to a
large number sporting events
every year. The Reebok
Women's Triathlon is a
hugely successful event that
is held downtown.
.
Federal Way is also home to
the King County Aquatics
Center. The Aquatics Center
is a world-class venue that
has hosted numerous state
and national events as well as
the 1991 Goodwill Games.
The City of Federal Way is about to undergo a metamorphosis. Our city leaders are
working diligently in creating a more definable downtown core that will become a
destination for Federal Way citizens and out of town visitors. The new Federal Way
envisions replacing a number strip malls with a compact urban center that will include
street frontshops with condominiums and business offices above. The downtown core
will be a place for people to work, live and shop. Everything will be within walking
distance. It is an t?xciting makeover that Safe City will only enhance.
.

Challenf!es We Face
Federal Way is adjacent to Interstate-5 between Seattle and Tacoma. SR-18 connects to
Interstate-5 as well and is a major state highway linking eastern Washington cities such
as Spokane and Yakima to the west side of the mountains. In addition, there are two
major transit centers within the city's center.
Unfortunately, this junction creates a convenient meeting point for the criminally minded.
The FWPD has recognized that, often times, out of town criminals would victimize
businesses in our city and then utilize the immediate access to the freeways and/or transit
for a quick getaway.
&5
The Federal Way Police Department
understands how important this
project is to the city. We are
determined to ensure that the area is
crime free so that the project can
flourish and realize it's full potential.
The economic vitality of the
downtown core is paramount to the
success of our city in the long run.
The Federal Way Police Department
and the City of Federal Way are
excited to team up with the Target
Corporation in pursuing the Safe
City grant.
.
The Federal Way Police
Department has committed two
full-time police officers to patrol
the Commons Mall. The mall
ownership contributes roughly
$86,000 per year to staff two
officers and they provide retail
space to be used as a police
substation.
Added police presence and the
The Commons Mall police substation allaws us a quick response time to
advent of new technology have crimes committed on the mall property. Police officers are also available
helped us reduce crime at the mall to assist citizens with other matters.
in recent years; however, I feel we can take that one step further. The FWPD has
established an excellent working relationship with AP teams in the major retail chains
and this has allowed us to make many arrests in cases that would otherwise go unsolved.
.
A great example of
this was a case from
Target earlier this
year. CCTV
surveillance cameras
and Target's POS
system allowed me to
arrest a team oflD
and credit card
thieves who were
victimizing people
from Tacoma, W A to
Everett, W A (a
stretch of over 60
miles!). The case was
made possible largely
because ofthe
technology available
to the store. The hard evidence obtained from Target's AP team allowed me to file felony
forgery and financial fraud charges not only in Federal Way, but in several other
jurisdictions as well. These suspects victimized over 15 different people that we know of
so far. They are career criminals with long criminal histories, all of who are looking at
lengthy prison sentences now. This would not have been possible without the help of the
Commons Mall Target AP team.
FWPD Officer Shawn Swanson and Target AP Team Leader Ramon
Franco team up to make the Commons Mall a safer place to shop.
L-~
.
.
.
.
The Federal Way Police Department takes pride in being an innovative police
department. The success of our department can be attributed to the use of new and cutting
edge equipment, some of which is detailed below. Safe City will enable our city to
continue that tradition and provide the best service possible to our citizens.
Bait Car
The FWPD has made reducing auto theft in our city
a priority. In the past year, we have conducted
several sting operations utilizing a "bait car". This
is a Honda Accord that is outfitted with GPS and
LOJAK. It has in-dash cameras and several silent
alarms that contact the 911 dispatcher if the car is
entered. If a person steals this car, responding
officers can shut the engine off and lock the doors
so that an arrest can be made safely and quickly.
This bait car has greatly reduced the number of car prowls in the Commons Mall parking
lot. It should be noted that Target's parking lot cameras added to the effectiveness of this
program.

allows officers to identify potential suspects and to confirm their identity on the spot. It
allows officers to detect criminal patterns as well.
The program can be used to search for suspects based on physical characteristics or
MO's. This is truly a high-tech solution that has real and verifiable results.
C-l
.
Each and every police report is submitted into the Spillman system and can be accessed
at any time from a department authorized computer terminal. Officers with a working
knowledge of this program have a virtually unlimited information gathering ability.
FWPD Atl..
Every patrol car
computer is
outfitted with
the FWPD atlas.
The atlas gives
officers the
choice of four
maps ~ well as
a contact list for
businesses and
apartment
complexes. The
maps are
interactive and
an officer can
zoom In on
apartment
complexes and
businesses to get
a detailed view. For example, officers can pull up the maps and find out exactly where
specific apartments are located within the property or where a store is located at the mall.
.
Another mapping option shows outlines of each home in our city and what the house
number is. This map can be toggled back and forth between a line view and a satellite
Image.
The atlas has complete contact information for apartment complex managers and access
codes for secured buildings and/or properties.
RAIN (Regional Automated Infonnation NetworkJ
Federal Way Police Officers have access to the RAIN program from their vehicles. This
program is a database that is accessible my multiple law enforcement agencies. Now a
Federal Way Police Officer can see if their suspect has been involved in criminal activity
in other cities around the Seattle/Tacoma metropolitan region. If their suspect is located
in RAIN, the officer can learn more information by viewing the other agency's police
report( s) online.
.
c-~
.
GUI Mobile
The FWPD utilizes a program called GUI Mobile. This is the system most used by
officers on the street. It is a direct link to the Valley Comm dispatch center in Kent, W A.
The program
gives real-time
updates on
officer's calls.
When an officer is
dispatched to a
call, he or she is
provided with a
contact person's
information and is
notified if there is
a hazard
associated with
that address.
Officers can use
GUI Mobile to
run names or
check vehicles.
By giving officers the ability to obtain this information on their own, valuable radio time
is freed up. This is very important for officer safety.
.
Wi-FI Network
The City of Federal Way has developed its own wireless network for use by city agencies
and the general population. www.federalwavwireless.com provides affordable
broadband internet services to Federal Way citizens in the downtown business corridor
and in the area around 21 st Ave S.
The City of Federal Way has recognized the
benefits of installing a wi-fi network for
businesses and private citizens. In addition
to being a public service to Federal Way
residents, city officials believe wi-fi could
prove to be an economic boon to the city.
~.
.---
Jr is oIl wlrlJi,l (ooch
There seems to be an economic advantage if
a city is wired, and there's an advantage to small business. Businesses see mobility as a
benefit. It makes business sense for the city to be involved. Citywide wi-fi coverage
.
&1
might be a reason to locate here. The city believes that it's a technology that's going to be .
standard, and Federal Way is ahead ofthe curve by installing the network now.
Online Capabilifies
The Federal Way Police Department is taking advantage of internet technology as well.
Now, citizens can.file online police reports by visiting the Online Reporting System at
www.citvoffederalwav.comlfolderslhome/vourcitvservices/oolice/newonlinecrimereo
ortlstart-reoort.html.
This link is part of the city's website. It is convenient and
easily accessible. More importantly, it affords our citizens a
greater level of police service because patrol officers are more
readily available to address in-progress or priority calls.
The FWPD is also looking at expanding the citizen/business
input segment of the city's web site. Currently, a citizen or
business owner can access the website and alert the patrol
section of any concerns that they want addressed. We would
like to expand this further to include criminal intelligence on
problem spots. The improved program would supplement our
crime analysis section instead of only being sent out as a
. patrol bulletin at the daily briefings. The city's website also
allows citizens the ability to file a compliment or complaint
online. They can analyze crime statistics or find out when the next town hall meeting is.
.
To date, the City of Federal Way has invested over $400,000 in the current wi-fi/internet
program. The benefits of the system and the economic possibilities are proving to show
that this was money well spent.
Online Refail Theft Program
The Federal Way PD is currently implementing a retail theft program. The program
would enable large retailers, such as Target, to file cases directly through the city's
computer network. In cases where the suspect is cooperative and they have a valid photo
ID, the store would be issued a police case number and the suspect could be released.
Charges would be filed just as if a police officer had issued the citation in person. This
program would allow for a quicker turnaround time for AP teams. In the past, AP teams
would have to wait for the next available patrol officer to clear their previous call and
then respond. Now the process would be much quicker.
Again, this program affords our citizens a greater level of police service because patrol
officers are more readily available to address in-progress or priority calls.

The City of Federal J 40....@ I! &1 ill 111 q~I~'S 1iiI. ~
Way has installed _
traffic cameras at
most of the major .
intersections in the
downtown corridor.
TheSe cameras are
accessible by police
computers by using
WJ-NT204 via the
city's intranet
network.
Police officers have
the ability to view
the intersections by
moving one of four
PTZ cameras at
each intersection.
The cameras have presets and can be used to view surrounding businesses as well.

The Federal Way City Council and the Federal
Way Chamber of Commerce have developed a
plan on how they would like to reshape
"downtown" Federal Way.
The city plans to redevelop the 414 acre city
center and establish an urban center that
contains a mixture of retail space, offices and
residential. This area would be flanked by the
two transit centers and immediate access to
Interstate- 5. This would be in contrast to the
separate strip mall complexes that dot the area
right now.
Our city leaders realize that a vital city center is
important to Federal Way's future because it
provides a gathering place for the community,
promotes economic development, reduces the .
tax burden on residential homes, is a natural step in Federal Way's evolution, and helps
Federal Way address rapid growth in Western Washington.
The city plans to implement the following changes;
· Limiting new single story construction to 16,000 sq ft
· Prohibiting gambling activities and the sale of second hand merchandise
. Removing residential density caps
. Increasing some base building heights
· Updating the height bonus program to allow for additional building height in
exchange for more open space and visual amenities
. Modifying site and building design standards in relation to pedestrian-friendly
developments, and
· Allowing 100% replacement of improvements that are damaged or destroyed by
accidental cause
The City of Federal Way created a City Redevelopment F1,1Ild with initial investment of
up to $5 million to help fund partnerships and/or optioning/acquiring property to position
for redevelopment.
The City Council created a Private-Public Partnership Advisory Committee that is made
up of various members from the community. It is responsible for developing criteria for
the City Council to use when disbursing the City Redevelopment Fund.
.
C-J2.
.
.
.
The area slated for redevelopment is in the heart of the Safe City area the FWPD has
designated. It is also the area most covered by the city's wi-fi network.
Recently, I learned that Target offers grants to local police departments. I would like to
request your consideration for such a grant to assist us in purchasing wireless PTZ
cameras to place in our business core. The cameras would make use of the city's wi-fi
network that is already in place. The cameras would be placed in strategic locations to
combat the increasing vehicle break-in/thefts, assaults, drug problems, etc.
I would also like to request hard line equipment to outfit the Commons Mall with
cameras.
The areas in red represent "blind spots" in the mall parking lot. These areas are havens for criminals such as car
thieves. dru!! dealers and mu!!!!ers. The addition ofCCTV cameras in the red zones will make our mall much safer.
Right now, the south side parking lot of Target (as well as the rest of the mall) does not
have adequate CCTV coverage. This creates a zone where criminal activity has an
opportunity to blossom. In the next few months, the mall will open a new movie theater
on the south side of the building. According to mall manager Gary Martindale, the theater
is expected to increase mall sales/traffic by 30%. The increased traffic will surely
L-}~
generate more crime. We are working diligently with the stores at the mall to keep the
crime out, but we truly need your help.
.
The FWPD relies on its community partnership. We understand that our citizens and
business owners are the eyes and the ears of the community and that they have valuable
input that we can use to make our city safer and more livable.
With Safe City, we can
bring all of the business
representatives together
and conduct regular
information sharing
meetings. All too often, the
same criminals are
victimizing multiple
businesses, but the
businesses don't have a
forum to share information.
Target may have
photographs of a forgery
suspect. Best Buy may
have a license plate of a car
the suspect used. Wal-Mart
may have contact information of an associate. Rite-Aid may know the suspect as a
regular customer in their pharmacy. When all of this information is presented together,
the FWPD can build a strong case and file criminal charges.
~: --,
.
Safe City can conduct citizen meetings where new focus areas can be developed. The
FWPD proactive unit can then address those areas and put an end to the crime.'
The Federal Way Police Department can use Safe City as a medium in which to involve
the city's youth. The department already has a Police Explorer program in place and it
can be an intergral part of the program. For example, Explorers can monitor the cCTV
system from the safety of the FWPD main station. Any suspicious activity can be
reported directly to an officer patrolling the street.
Safe City can also sponsor programs to
promote education and social
responsibility. The "Good Grade Brigade"
could be such a program. Federal Way
school district students holding a "B"
average or higher can bring their report
cards to the FWPD mall substation and be
entered into a drawing for $100 gift card
to one of our local movie theaters.
C-Pi
.
.
.
.
Young people can often times be enticed by gangs. A number of factors playa role in
this, such as the need for acceptance or sense of family. Safe City can sponsor anti-gang
programs through the use of volunteer advocates. Former gang members serve as
volunteer youth counselors and can be a trusted source of information for troubled youth.
Where gang members may not want to open up to a police officer, .they may relate to a
person who has "been there and done that."
Safe City can sponsor weekend cleanup parties to paint over gang graffiti or clean up
debris along the side of the road. Safe City partners can donate paint, trash bags or snacks
and drinks to support the cleanup teams.
The prosecutor's office can playa large roll in Safe City. The Federal Way Police
Department will recommend that crime enhancements or multipliers be applied to crimes
committed within the "Safe City Zone". Criminals will face stiffer penalties if they
commit certain crimes (such as theft, vandalism or assault) within this area.
The local media can add to the effectiveness of the program as well. The City of Federal
Way will make it very clear to the criminally minded that they are not welcome in our
city. Our efforts to protect our citizens and business owners should be unsurpassed and
the model for every other police agency in the State of Washington. Safe City will surely
promote growth and prosperity in our city and help us greatly towards this goal.
We are excited about the interest the Target Corporation ~ taken in teaming up with
local police departments to make our communities safer and we look forward to
continuing our strong relationship with your company.
The Commons Mall employs its own security staff who patrols the parking lot in ~ marked vehicle. The
FWPD's mall resource officers park their cruisers in high-traffic areas to further deter crime.

In Safe City Federal Way, patrol officers will be able to access all of the CCTV cameras
from their patrol car. The luxury this system affords the police department is
immeasurable. Officer safety will be increased tenfold and crime monitoring can reach
new heights.
Stint( Ooerations:
Proactive unit officers can conduct surveillance in target areas from a safe distance. They
can do so with the assurance that the suspect(s) will not see them.
Priori/v Incidents:
In the Safe City zone, Federal Way Police Officers will.no longer have to arrive on-scene
of violent or out-of-control incidents without knowing what challenges await them.
Officers will be able to view the scene before they arrive. An action plan can be devised
"on the fly" that will maximize officer safety and ensure that the bad guys are taken into
custody.
Crime Prevention:
Safe City areas can be monitored at all times from the Federal Way Police Station. If
something suspicious is observed, a. police officer can respond immediately. Safe City
will enable the FWPD to take a more proactive role instead of reactive. A true benefit to .
our citizens!
c.- Jtp
.
.
.
CCTV Cameras
The Safe City program in Federal Way will make use of wireless PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom)
cameras set in strategic locations throughout the Safe City zone. These areas will be
targeted by the Federal Way Police Department's crime analyst. The Crime Analyst's
recommendations will then be forwarded to patrol representatives for additional input.
Once areas.are chosen to place cameras in, the final recommendation will be sent to the
city's MIS division to see ifthe camera placement is operable with the city's wi-fi
network.
The City of Federal Way can also make use of mobile platforms such as the Cerberus
mobile tower. This system will allow for the FWPD to place cameras in special event
areas such as Celebration Park during the Fourth of July festival. Where large gatherings
are expected to take place, these mobile towers will offer an added layer of security for
the citizens of our city.
The mobile towers can also be placed in strategic
areas to address specific criminal activity. An
example of this would be to place the tower in an
apartment complex that is experiencing an unusual
amount of vehicle break-ins or thefts.
Since the City of Federal Way is located in the flight
path ofSeaTac airport, the towers can be used to
enhance site security in the event of an air disaster in
our city. The towers can also be used to monitor
areas that may have been exposed to a HAZ-MAT
incident as well. The use of the camera towers will
reduce the risk of exposure to officers and minimize
the department's expenses.

SUBJECT: Target Corporation Equipment Grant
Background:
The Target Equipment Grant will allow the Federal Way Police Department to provide the
Federal Way Municipal and King County Superior Courts with recordings from our client
businesses in DVD format. The courts have requested that the police begin providing copies of
videos held for evidence in DVD format. All of the client businesses at the Commons Mall
provide our agency with the videos in VHS format and we then have to arrange to have the video
transferred to DVD for prosecution. We normally do not submit the evidence video with the case
filings until the case is ready for trial due to the current steps necessary to get a video transferred
to DVD. With the ability to provide the video to the prosecutor prior to filing, the prosecutor's
, office can,see the criminal act prior to filing and also use that video for plea negotiations. This .
,will be a cost savings for all involved parties by providing greater evidence for the filing decision
and also expedite guilty pleas eliminating the need to pay overtime for officer's court
appearances and allow prosecutors to apply their time to other cases.
The Target Corporation has generously made the equipment available through this grant so that
the officers assigned to the Commons Mall can do the tape conversions at our Mall Substation
thus expediting the process. This equipment would also be available for any officer needing to
utilize that equipment.

OVERVIEW
.
My name is Shawn Swanson. I am a police officer for the City of Federal Way in
Washington State. I am assigned as a mall resource officer at the Commons Mall. The
Commons Mall lies in the middle of our city of 85,000 citizens. Federal Way is adjacent
to Interstate-5 between Seattle and Tacoma. SR-18 COlmects to 1-5 as well and is a major
state highway linking eastern Washington cities such as Spokane and Yakima to the west
side of the mountains. In addition, there are two major transit centers within one block of
the mall property.
Unfortunately, this junction creates a convenient meeting point for thecriminal~y minded.
The FWPD has recognized that, often times, out of town criminals would victimize stores
here and then utilize the immediate access to the freeways and/or transit for a quick
getaway.
The Federal Way Police
Department has committed two
full-time police officers to patrol
the Commons Mall. The mall
contributes roughly $80,000 per
year to staff one officer and they
provide retail space to be used as a
police substation. The City of
Federal Way provides the second
officer.
.
The Commons Man jJolice substation allows us a quick response time to .
crimes committed on the man property. Police officers are also available
to assist citizens with other matters.
The FWPD relies on its
community partnership. We
, understand that our citizens and business owners are the eyes and ears of the community
and that they have valuable input that we can use to make our city safer and more livable.
We are excited about the interest the Target Corporation has taken in teaming up with
local police departments to make our communities safer. With your help, we can achieve
this goal much fuster.
REOUEST
The Federal Way Municipal and King County Superior courts have moved into the high
tech era and the prosecutor's offices are requesting that CCTV evidence tapes be
submitted in DVD format. Currently, all of the major retailers at the Commons Mall
record their security videos on VHS format.
tJ-y
.
.
.
.
I would like to request your assistance in procuring one VHS to DVD recorder and a
small monitor. This unit would allow us to convert all CCTV tapes to DVD immediately
and we could send a copy to the prosecutor with each case filing. We would place the
unit at the Commons Mall Substation and would make it available to other Federal Way
police officers who may need to utilize the technology.

I believe that the units above would suit our needs perfectly. I located these items at
Target.com. The DVD- VHS unit is $249 and the television is $89.
The Federal Way Police Department is committed to making the mall a better place to
shop, but our resources are limited. We fuel that by teaming up with the large retailers,
we can make a noticeable impact on reducing crime.
Please consider us for any funds that you
may be able to allocate towards achieving
our goal. If you have any questions about
our department or the mall, please feel free
to contact us any time. The Federal Way
, Police Department would also be glad to
invite you on a ride along with one of our
officers so you can get a fuel for how our
department operates and to get an in-depth
look at our dynamic community; ,
Sincerely,
Officer Shawn M. Swanson, #104

1. INTRODUCTION
.
Severe influenza pandemics represent one of the greatest potential threats to the
public's health. Pandemics are distinct from seasonal influenza epidemics that happen
nearly every year, causing an average of 36,000 deaths annually in the United States.
Seasonal influenza epidemics are caused by influenza virus.es,;,yhic.h circulate arqund
the world. Over time, people develop some degreeofimm1.Nl~~o;these viruses, and
vaccines are developed annually to protect people from s~~us illness. Pandemic
influenza refer. s to a worldwide epidemic due to.a .n. e~H. Wr~. ; ht~'callY different strain of
influenza virus. A pandemic virus strain can sprea9 i~idly fiR.' erson to person
and, if severe, can cause high levels of diseasell~Ia~~th aroun "llliOrld.
Pandemic viruses develop in two main w~l..rst, Wi)~~birdS arethe~llftm. €Sir for all
influenza viruses. Most avian influenza virus . . t . . r~~t or cause si~!licant
disease in humans. However, new pandemic in iru~es can arise when avian

DUrinMIat~20th centu~npree p~~demics occurred that spread worldwide within a
year. ri,'l! .. fljte.n. .za pan. ill~mic of 1918 was especially virulent, killing a large numher
of young, 0 H~5ise h~#iihy adults. It is now known that this pandemic was caused by
an avian influe ,.' ~,us that suddenly developed the ability to infect humans and to
easily spread fro ..~erson to person. The pandemic caused more than 500,000 deaths
in the United States and more than 40 million deaths around the world. Subsequent
pandemics in 1957-58 and 1968-69 caused far fewer fatalities in the U.S., 70,000 and
34,000 deaths respectively, but caused significant morbidity and mortality around the
world. These two pandemics were caused by an influenza virus that arose from
genetic reassortment between human and avian viruses.
.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (cDc) estimates that in the U.S.
alone, an influenza pandemic could infect up to 200 million people and cause
between 200,000 and 1,900,000 deaths. The worldwide public health and scientific

community is increasingly concerned about the potential for a pandemic to arise from
the widespread and growing avian influenza A (H5Nl) outbreak across several
continents. Although many officials believe it is inevitable that future influenza
pandemics will occur, it is impossible to predict the exact timing of these outbreaks.

vaccines against the new virus will not be available for six to eight months following the
emergence of the virus. Basic services, such as health care, law enforcement, fire,
. emergency response, communications, transportation, and utilities, could be disrupted
during a pandemic. Finally, the pandemic, unlike many other emergency events, could
last for several weeks, if not months.

2. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
.
The Pandemic Influenza Response Plan for the City of Federal Way provides guidance
regarding detection, response and recovery from an influenza pandemic. The Plan
describes the unique challenges posed by a pandemic that may necessitate specific
leadership decisions, response actions, and communication mechanisms. Specifically, the
purpose ofthe plan is to:
a Define preparedness activities that should be unde~en before a
pandemic occurs that will enhance the effec~ i.v,e,ly'llt1h tresponse me. asures.
a Describe the response, coordination and deci' making structure that
will incorporate Public Health Seattle K.. inH1J. '0 'lPHSKC), the health

are included ~lbi.,~light p....... . ts of coordination between agencies during a pandemic. It is
expected that h~UJ", re f: Ilities and health care professionals, essential service
providers, local go ~t officials, and business leaders will develop and incorporate
procedures and proto s addressing influenza preparedness and response activities into
their emergency respons~ plans.
This plan currently does not address measures that would be taken to contain an outbreak
of the avian influenza virus in birds or other animal populations occurring in King
County. Federal and state departments of agriculture are primarily responsible for
surveillance and control of influenza outbreaks in domestic animals, although agricultural
control measures interface with public health actions to prevent transmission into
humans.

4. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS
1. An influenza pandemic will result in the rapid spread of the infection with
outbreaks throughout the world. Communities across the state and the country
may be impacted simultaneously.
2. There will be a need for heightened global, national and local surveillance.
3. Birds with an avian influenza strain may arrive and cause ~l'ian outbreaks in King
County prior to the onset of a pandemic, significantly i~~ domestic poultry,
wild and exotic birds, and other species. ill

will need to be developed and implemented at health care facilities, out-
patient care settings and long-term care facilities.
f. The health care system may need to develop alternative care sites
(designated "flu clinics") to relieve demand on hospital emergency rooms
and care for persons not ill enough to merit hospitalization but who cannot
be cared for at home.

6. PHASES OF A PANDEMIC
The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a global influenza preparedness
plan that includes a classification system for guiding planning and response activities for
an influenza pandemic. This classification system is comprised of six phases of
increasing public health risk associated with the emergency and spread of a new
influenza virus subtype that may lead to a pandemic. The Director General of WHO
formally declares the current global pandemic phase and adjust the phase level to
correspond with pandemic conditions around the world. For each phase, the global
influenza preparedness plan identifies response measures WHO... 'YtwHl' I take, and
recommends actions that countries around the world should im~~t.

Ill,
PHSKC will be the ll~ad agency in coordinating the local health and medical response to a
pandemic with State, Federal, and local agencies and officials. PHSKC will work through
the Health Care Coalition to monitor and, if necessary, direct the use of health care
system resources and restructuring of health care system operations.
The City of Federal Way should devote all possible resources to ensuring that protection
of life, property and the environment is carried out by City resources as well as
supporting and enforcing any public health orders within the City's jurisdictional
boundaries.

D. Mitigation
Mitigation actiyities are taken in advance of an influenza pandemic to prevent or temper
its impact. Mitigation efforts should occur primarily during pandemic phases 1-3.
The City of Federal Way's mitigation activities include:
o Planning, evaluating and revising the Pandemic Influenza Response Plan..
o Training and equippi?g City staff to assure competencies tffl~. capacities needed to
respond to a pandemIC outbreak. 'ifill, ;"11

G. Vaccine and Antiviral Medications
Vaccine serves as the most effective preventive strategy against outbreaks of influenza,
including pandemics. However, dissemination of an effective influenza vaccine during a
pandemic faces several challenges:
o A pandemic strain could be detected at any time, and production of vaccine could
take six to eight months after the virus first emerges.

Basic Plan
o The target population for vaccination will ultimately include the entire U.S.
population.
o It is expected that demand for vaccine will initially outpace supply and
administration of limited vaccine will need to be prioritized based on national
guidelines and in consultation with the Washington DOH.
o It is likely that two doses of vaccine occurring two to four weeks apart will be
required.

value in preventing ftirther spread of the disease.
I. Social Distancing Strategies
.
Social distancing strategies are non-medical measures intended to reduce the spread of
disease from person-to-person by discouraging or preventing people from coming in
close contact with each other. These strategies could include closing public and private
schools; minimizing social interactions at colleges, universities and libraries; closing non-
essential government functions; implementing emergency staffing plans for the public
and private sector including increasing telecommuting, flex scheduling and other options;

and closing public gathering places including stadiums, theaters, churches, community
centers and other facilities. It is assumed that social distancing strategies must be applied
on a county-wide or state-wide basis in order to maximize effectiveness.
Decisions regarding the closing of all public and private schools, and minimizing social
interaction at colleges, universities and libraries in King County willbe made by the
Local Health Officer after consultation with local school superintendents, school
presidents and elected officials. The Local Health Officer will coordinate in advance the
timing and implementation of social distancing decisions in King County with Pierce, .
Snohomish, Kitsap and Thurston Counties as well as the state De....R .wartment of Health and
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Loca~iHI8i~\il\ Officer will

Pandemic Response Plan
Basic Plan
J. Hea~th and Medical Response
A severe influenza pandemic is expected to significantly increase the demand for health
care services at a time when the availability of health care workers will be reduced due to
illness. In a severe pandemic, the imbalance between supply and demand is likely to
overwhelm current health care system capacity and necessitate implementation of
alternate strategies to manage the demand on health system resources. During a pandemic
impacting King County, all efforts will be employed to sustain the functionality of the
health care system while maintaining an acceptable level of medical care. During a
pandemic, altemate care facilities may be identified and activatedw provide additional

L. Recovery
Basic Plan
Recovery from an influenza pandemic will begin when it is determined that adequate
supplies, resources and response system capacity exist to manage ongoing activities
without continued assistance from pandemic response systems.
In consultation with the Health'Care Coalition and local elected leaders, the Local Health
Officer will recommend specific actions to be taken to return the health care system and
government functions to pre-event status.
PHSKC will assess the impact of the pandemic on the commun~!Y~alth as measured
by morbidity and mortality and report findings to all respon,.~~~ners. PHSKC staffwill

employees and/or the public is endangered by the ill health of an employee. Supervisors
are not to make judgments as to medical diagnosis but may rely on observations of an
employee's symptomology in making a determination to send an employee who appears
ill home. Symptoms of the flu in humans may be: fever, cough, sore throat, muscle
aches, eye infection, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress and viral pneumonia. For
updates on pandemic influenza symptomology, consult
www.metrokc.gov/health/avia/index.htm. Supervisors should first seek the approval of
their manager or director prior to sending an ill employee home.

Most patients with pandemic influenza will be able to remain at home during the course of their
illness and can be cared for by others who live in the household. This information is intended to
help you recognize the symptoms of influenza and care for ill persons in the home, both during a
typical influenza season and during an influenza pandemic.

At the outset of an influenza pandemic, a vaccine for the pandemic fl~~1r~~\Will not be available
for several m~nths. However, it's still a g~od idea to ~et a seaso~~"Hjvaccine to protect from

her at risk for:J vere influenza disease. Medical conditions that are considered "high risk"
include the following: .

· If possible, contact your health care provider if you have questions about caring for the ill
person. However, it may be difficult to contact your usual healthcare provider during a
severe influenza pandemic. Public Health - Seattle & King County's pandemic flu website
(listed below) will provide frequent updates, including how to get medical advice. If '
special telephone hotlines are used, these numbers will also be on the website and
announced through the media.
· Wearing surgical masks (with ties) or procedure masks (with ear loops) may be useful in
decreasing spread of influenza when worn by the patient and/or caregiver during close
contact (within 3 feet). If masks are worn, to be useful they must be worn at aD times
when in close contact with the patient. The wearing of gloves and gowns is not
recommended for household members providing care in the home.

PETITIONER:

LOCATION:
See attached vicinity map, legal description and vacation map
REPORT PREPARED BY:
John Mulkey, P. E., Street Systems Engineer
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is not making a recommendation as to the vacation as this vacation request
is a matter of a decision on Policy for the Council in regards to the creation of
gated communities.
I. BACKGROUND
The Campus Highlands Homeowners Association has petitioned the City to vacate a portion of4111 Place SW, 5d.
Avenue SW, 5111 Place SW, SW 345111 Street, SW 346th Place, SW 347th Place, SW 347d. Way, SW 348111 Court and
SW 350th Place, located East of 6th Avenue SW between SW Campus Drive and Enterprise Elementary School,
constituting the Campus Estates Neighborhood. See the accompanying legal description (Exhibit A) and map of
the area to be vacated (Exhibit B) for exact location. The area is a system of connecting streets that are improved
with asphalt concrete roads, curb and gutter, sidewalk, and storm drainage facilities. The street system in the
neighborhood connects to 6th Avenue SWat two locations, at SW 3451h Street to the north and SW 347th Way to
the south. The only other connection to this system is an emergency access to Enterprise Elementary School,
which connects to the south end of 5th A venue South. The zoning of the Campus Estates neighborhood is divided
into two sections. The properties abutting 4th Place SW, 51h Place SW, SW 345th Street, SW 346111 Place, SW 34th
Place and SW 347th Way are zoned Residential 7.2, the properties abutting 51h Avenue SW, SW 348th Court and
SW 350lh are zoned Residential 9.6. Both areas are listed as single family, High Density in the Comprehensive
Plan. The Homeowners Association is seeking the street vacation in order create a private gated community with
privately owned streets. The Homeowners Association believes they can reduce crime in their neighborhood by
constructing gates on SW 345d1 Street and on SW 3471h Way, east of the intersections with 61h Avenue SW. They
Campus Highlands Division t, 3 &5
Street Vacation Staff Report
believe the access restriction would reduce crime levels in their neighborhood as criminals would no longer be
able to drive into their neighborhood. The area to be vacated has sixty,eight (68) abutting private property owners,
5 tracts owned by the Campus Estates Homeowners Association, of which 43 signatures have been received,
Other abutting property includes a 20-foot section owned by the City of Federa I Way, which connects to the Storm
Water Retention Pond on the southwest end ofS1h Avenue SW and the emergency access to Enterprise Elementary
at the extreme south end of 5th Avenue SW.
.
II. COMPLIANCE WITH CRITERIA DESCRIBED IN THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CODE
(FWCC) SECTION 13-102
A. Mandatory Criteria:
The following criteria are mandatory and must be met before a petition for a street vacation may be approved:
Criteria #la ~ The vacation provides a public benefit or is for a public benefit. The benefit may include
economic or business support that the community as a whole derives from the abutting
property owner.
The land is currently public streets and sidewalks and is maintained by the City of Federal Way. The vacation of
the portion 41h Place SW, Sdl Avenue SW, 51hPlace SW, SW 34Sd1 Street, SW 3461h Place, SW 347lh Place, SW
347lh Way, SW 3481h Court and SW 350lh Place could provide a public benefit in that the land will be purchased
and maintained by property owners, so the City would no longer be responsible for costs to maintain the streets,
sidewalks or storm drainage system, however it would no longer be open to the public. The petitioners assert the
vacation would benefit the neighborhood in that they could have greater sec;:urity, once the gates have been
installed.
.
Criteria #lb - The street, alley or portion thereof is no longer required for public use.
These areas encompass fully developed public streets which are currently open Right-of. Way, which are used by
residents and businesses to access the residences and by public and private utilities to access facilities and provide
services in that neighborhood. If it was determined the streets were to be vacated, primary public uses (garbage
collection, inspection, code compliance, etc.) could be accommodated through other means and easements could
be granted for utilities. Access to the emergency entrance to Enterprise Elementary School could be maintained by
allowing pedestrian access to the school and emergency vehicles at the gates. Businesses or services that utilize
these roads to provide services can be addressed by allowing access through the gates.
Criteria #lc - The vacation does not abut a body of water, such as a river, a lake, or salt water, exceptfora
public purpose such as a park or port facility and which reverts to a public authority.
This Right-of-Way is. not located in the vicinity of a body of water, therefore this cr~teria is not applicable.
B. Discretionary Criteria:
Compliance with the following criteria is not mandatory, but the Council must consider them in making its
decision.
Criteria #2a - The vacation meets the intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan's general purposes and
o~iectives.
The City's Comprehensive Plan has no requirements for future roads in the locations proposed for vacation. The
areas in which the Right-of-Way areas are located are zoned Residential 7.2 and 9.6 and are currently fully
developed with no open lots and are listed as single family, High Density in the Comprehensive Plan. There are
2
.
Campus HIghlands DivIsIon 1,3 &5
Street Vacation Stan' Report
.
three Policies in the City's Comprehensive Plan that could affect the vacation of a street.
The City Comprehensive Plan states in TP 10 "Protect existing and acquire future right-or-way consistent with
functional classification cross-section (transit, rail, bike, and pedestrian) needs, Require developments to dedicate
right-of-way as needed tor development commensurate with the impacts of development. At a minimum; setback
limits shall be used to assure that buildings are not placed within the right-of-way requirements for planned
transportation facilities. Right-of-way dedication shall be commensurate with a development's impact to the
existing and planned transportation system". The right-of-way was preserved for access during the construction of
the homes in this area, which were built with proper setbacks. The gates, if constructed would impact the function
of the roadway, but as there are no through streets in this neighborhood, it would not impact vehicular access to
other areas of the City. Pedestrian access could be impacted if the gates were to restrict pedestrian as well as
vehicular access.
TP 21 states "Enhance traffic circulation and access with closer spacing of through streets, unless geographical
constraints do not permit. Limit the area to be served by a single access point commensurate with planned
density". In regards to TP 17, there are two access points and geographical constraints would most likelyprevent
through streets from being built in this area.
.
LUP 17 states "Encourage the development of transportation routes and facilities to serve single family
neighborhoods. Special attention should be given to pedestrian circulation". In regards to LUP 17, the
transportation routes are in place. This area is used only for local access, as the only access egress to the area is
through the two streets proposed to be gated. There is an emergency entrance to Enterprise Elementary School,
which is used only for emergencies, so access for emergency equipment would need to be allowed. Pedestrian
access to the school through this route may also be used so the pedestrian access to this may need to be
maintained. As long as the gates allow for free pedestrian access to the streets and use of the sidewalk this should
not be an issue. If the gates were to block pedestrian access through the neighborhood, specifically access to the
school, this would contradict this policy. In order to remain within the constraints of this policy, the gates should
not be allowed to impact established pedestrian access into or through this neighborhood.
As such if the gates to this area do not impact pedestrian access, and established pedestrian routes to the school are
not impacted then the vacation should be in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan".
Criteria #2b - The vacation provides for an exchange of public property in the public interest.
There is no exchange of public property associated with this vacation petition.
Criteria #2c - Whether conditions may so change in the future as to provide a greater use or need than
presently exists.
The neighborhood in the area being sought for vacation is fully developed with no open lots. The properties
surrounding the areas proposed for vacation are either in required open space tracts or a school. Unless the zoning.
for this area changes in the future there is no reason to believe any changes in use would occur.
Criteria #2d - Whether objections to the proposed vacation are made by owners of private property
(exclusive of petitioners) abutting the same.
As of this time, the City has received one objection in comment to Council and one email objecting to the
vacation.
. Criteria #2e
- The vacation would /lot interfere with future developmellt or access to other existing or
future developments.

Campus H tghlands DI vision I, 3 &5
Street Vacation Staff Report
The neighborhood in the area being sought for vacation is fully developed with no open lots. All but two of the
sixty-eight lots in this neighborhood are at least double the size of the lot zoned. Although these lots would be
theoretically sub-dividable, based upon lot square footage and zoning, as there exist high-end homes on all of
these lots, the potential for further sub-division is unlikely. The properties surrounding the area proposed for
vacation are either in required open space tracts or a school.
.
III. COMMENTS BY LOCAL AGENCIES AND UTILITIES
The Draft staff report was distributed to all City Departments, all affected utilities, Fire and Transit for review to
determine if there are any issues they would have in regards to the vacation.
The responses we receive are as follows:
. South County Fire has requested the gate meet their gate policy, which would require a remote opening
device (Opticom) for emergency access into the proposed area for vacation. The gate policy also
mandates minimum widths and set back from the intersecting roadway.
. Puget Sound Energy has requested they receive easements for all roadway crossings of their utilities.
. Comcast has requested they receive easements for all roadway crossings of their utilities.
. Qwest Communications has requested they receive easements for all roadway crossings of their utilities.
. Lakehaven Utility District has requested the following
1. The proponents must retain a licensed professional land surveyor at their own expense to
field-verify the locations of the public water and sewer facilities that lie within the
current public rights-of-way, and then to write legal descriptions and prepare exhibit
maps for the strip easements over the water mains/fittings, fire hydrant assemblies, water
service connections, air-vacuum valve assemblies, and sewer mains/manholes. The
District would not accept easements over the side sewers in the rights-of-way; they
would then become private building sewers beyond the mainline easements. The new
easements (using the District's templ~te forms) would need to meet the District's current
standards for widths, offsets, terminal points, etc.
.
2. In accordance with the provisions of the easements to be provided over these facilities,
Lakehaven personnel must be afforded access to these facilities 24 hours per day, 7 days
per week, and 365 days per year. Due to the emergency nature of some of the responses
District personnel must oCGasionally make (such as in a water main break situation), and
other more-routine activities (such as water meter reading), prior notice for this access
cannot be provided to the homeowners. District personnel must be provided keys; entry
Godes, etc. to allow entry through all vehicular gates into the community at all times.
. Metro Transit had no comment
. Federal Way Public Schools had no comment
. WSDOT Property Management had no comment

Campus Highlands DIvision 1,3 &5
Street Vacation Staff Report
City Of Federal Way Staff comments:
· Surface Water Management Division requested the City owned facilities would need.to be completely
taken over by the Homeowners Association. S WM would not be interested in continued maintenance of
the drainage infrastructure within the gated community. Further, the HOA will be reqUIred to accept ofY.
site drainage that currently utilizes the conveyance, storage, or water quality features located within the
gated areas.
· Street Systems Division had comments relevant to staff report language and the need for an agreement
evidencing a maintenance obligation by the homeowners association.
· Traffic Division had comments relevant to staff report language and code requirements as they relate to
the City's comprehensive plan, queing length minimums, turnaround ability and pedestrian access to the
school.
· Solid Waste and Recycling Division had comments regarding access to provide City services.
· Development Services Division had comments regarding access to provide City services.
IV. OTHER ISSUES
In order for this vacation to be effective the issue as to ownership of the vacated property must be addressed. As
all property owners abutting the area to be vacated have the first right to that property as a condition of the
vacation, the homeowner association must provide evidence of 100% control oftheright of way for maintenance
purposes.
Also the City currently has no gated community standards and they would need to be developed in conjunction
with this vacation.
V. PAYMENT
As per RCW35.79.030, Section I, because the property was dedicated to the County less than 25 years ago, the
oldest areas having been conveyed to King County in 1989, an amount that does not exceed one-half the appraisal
value of the area vacated (based on an appraisal accepta:ble to the City) of the land and any improvements would
be required as payment to the City if the proposed vacation is approved.
VI. RECOMMENDATION
All Mandatory Criteria can be met with proper access and three of the five Discretionary Criteria have been met.
Item 2b is riot applicable to this vacation and item 2d has not been me in that there have been objections received
from abutting property owners. As this vacation request is a matter of a decision on Policy for the Council in
regards to the creation of gated communities, Staffis not making a recommendation as to the vacation of Right of
Way within the Campus Highlands Division 1,3 & 5 (41h Place SW, 51h Avenue SW, 51h Place SW, SW 3451h
Street, SW 3461h Place, SW 34th Place, SW 34th Way, SW 3481h Court and SW 350lh Place).

Campus Estates Street Vacation
FROM:
VIA:
RE:
On October 17th the City will be holding a Public Hearing in regards to the vacation of the streets in the
Campus Estates neighborhood to allow for a gated community with private streets. In preparation for the
Public Hearing, staff was asked to provide information pertaining to the City's street vacation process and the
vacation of streets to form a private gated community in other jurisdictions. Public Works Staff conducted a
telephone survey of other local cities to find out if they had dealt with a similar type of vacation. The survey
results are summarized in the attached spreadsheet.
The questions summarized in the attached table are:
1. Has the city or county ever vacated a street for the purpose of creating a private gated community?
2. Has the city or county ever vacated a developed/improved street?
3. If the answer to # I or # 2 is yes, did the city or county receive compensation for the vacated street?
4. Does the City or County have code provisions for gated communities?
A similar survey was completed by the legal department through an internet list serve, as summarized
below:
The following eleven cities responded to a question regarding gated communities posted on the
Washington State Association of Municipal Attorneys (WSAMA) listserve: Auburn, Bellevue, Gig
Harbor, Kent, Kirkland, Lacey, Longview, Mill Creek, Seattle, Snoqualmie, and Spokane.
Overall, very few of them have gated communities. Of those that do, the City of Gig Harbor was
the only one to have vacated a street to allow for it to be closed off; even then, only one entrance to
the community was gated, while the other side of the community remains open. The City of
Snoqualmie currently has a similar request pending for a street vacation to allow f9r a gated
entrance to a private community.
A couple of the cities have vacated streets for private purposes, Longview vacated for a church
expansion and Spokane vacated for a retail development. However, the City of Seattle indicated
that it would deny such a request on the basis that a vacation for private use privatizes a public
asset intended for the public and would not meet Seattle's vacation criteria.
With regard to gated communities, those cities that do allow gated communities do so by
ordinance. The City of Bellevue does not allow gated communities and Mill Creek prohibits gated
entrances for public streets and strongly discourages gated entrances on private streets.
.
The City of Federal Way Street vacation ordinance, consistent with RCW 35.7910, requires a process for a
street vacation that includes the submission of a petition signed by owners of two-thirds of the property
abutting the street to be vacated, the production of a staff report, the holding of a public hearing, the
approval of the vacation by Council and the adoption of an ordinance to vacate the property. 1be City has
vacated portions of three streets since incorporation. The vacations were located in portions ofS 344!II
Street, Milton Road S, and S 2981h Street. With the exception of S 2981h Street, in which there was an
exchange of property, the City received monetary compensation for the street vacations. The City has
never vacated for the purpose of creating a private gated community. The S 3441h Street and Milton Road
S vacations were unused rights of way that were vacated to be used in the development of the adjacent
properties. S 2981h Street was vacated in the creation of a new plat, in which the roadway was relocated to
a new, safer alignment.
If Council authorizes the street vacation, the conditions for vacation outlined in the staff report would need
to be included in the ordinance and completed before the vacation is finalized. The conditions include:
. All utilities would be granted easements for their existing facilities.
. The gate would need. to be installed per the standards required by South King Fire Department,
which include a minimum setback for the adjacent road, standards for the gates and access through
the gates, through the use of an automated detector.
. Access must be granted to all services, including utilities, City inspectors, solid waste and
recycling, post office, etc.
. The gate must be set back to allow for adequate queuing length for traffic approaching the gate so
it does to not impact the adjacent through street (6th Avenue SW).
· The Homeowners Association must provide evidence of 100% control of the right of way for
access and maintenance purposes.
.
At this time there are no provisions in the City Code for the maintenance of private roads or for access.
The issue of roadway maintenance could also be made a condition for vacation in the ordinance. Some
other jurisdictions currently have codes provisions that address the issue of gates and maintenance of
private roads.

STAFF REPORT
Date: October 10, 2006
To: Finance, Human Services and Regional Affairs Committee
From: Iwen Wang, Management Services Director ~VJ
Via: Neal Beets, City Manager
Subject: Follow-up: Definition of a Disabled Person
At its September 26, 2006 meeting, the Finance, Human Services and Regional Affairs Conunittee raised
concerns about the broad definition of "disabled" under CDBG and Human Service grants and the City's
consequential ability to administer the program in an cost-effective, efficient manner.
Based on these concerns, staff researched other tax exemption programs and now recommends using the state's
disability definition for property tax exemptions. The state's basic definition of disabled person is someone
who can not engage in "gainful employment" by reason of disability. .
Proof of such disability can be obtained through a signed affidavit by a licensed medical professional, a
disability determination/Supplemental Security Income (SSI) award letter from the Social Security
Administration, or a Medicare eligibility determination/award letter. The City's disability affidavit will
include a perjury statement to be signed by both the applicant and the medical professional certifying
that the disability is true and correct under the penalty of perjury. .
.
The property tax exemption system has long been in place without known abuse. Furthermore, with
established procedures and forms, it is reasonably easy to administer. I believe this definition addresses
. the concerns raised at the meeting; the attached draft ordinance reflects this definition.
Please let me know if you have any concerns or questions.

Utility Tax Rebate/or Low-Income, Disabled Persons
BACKGROUND
In 2003 Council adopted ordinance 03-436 providing a full rebate on the City's utility tax paid by low-income-
seniors. The ordinance was first applicable for utility consumption and taxes paid starting February 2003, with
rebates processed in the first quarter of 2004. At the September 5, 2006 Council meeting. Council asked staff to
analyze. the possibility of expanding the current rebate program to include low-income, disabled persons, and
bring the information back to Council Committee for further consideration.
The current low-income senior utility tax rebate program eligibility requirements prescribe that participants must
be 65 years of age or older, earn/receive an annual household income at or below 50% of Seattle Metropolitan
Area medium income level and live within city limits. In the past three years, the number of eligible low-income
seniors whom applied for the rebate fluctuated between sixty and ninety with a total rebate amount between
$6,000 to around $10,000 a year.
To expand the program to include low-income, disabled persons, the City would need to add the defmition of a
disabled person. Staff recommends using the standard Federal Bureau of Census' def'mition of "severe
disability". This definition is utilized by the cDBG and other human services agencies to detennine eligible
disabilities for similar programs.
Specifically, the definition identifies persons who have a severe disability as a person who:
. Uses a wheelchair, or has used another special aid for six months or longer;
. Is unable to perform one or more functional activities 1 or needs assistance with activities of daily living2 or
instrumental activitie~ of daily living3;
. Is prevented from working at a job or doing housework;
. Has. a selected condition including autism, cerebral palsy, Alzheimer's Disease, senility or dementia, or
mental retardation; or
. Is under 65 years of age and covered by Medicare or receiving SSI.
Note:
1. Functional Activities: seeing, hearing, having one's speech understood, lifting and carrying, climbinga
flight of stairs, and walking.
2. Activities of Daily Living: getting around inside the home, getting in or out of bed or a chair, bathing,
dressing, eating and using the toilet.
3. Instrumental Activities of Daily Living: going outside the home, keeping track of. money of bills,
preparing meals, doing light housework and using the telephone.-...

FINANCIAL IMPACT
.
Currently the City screens cable TV discount applications for both low-income seniors and low-income disabled
persons before forwarding them to Comcast for .processing. Using the number of individuals who apply for cable
discounts as a gauge, staff estimates the number of individuals who would qualify for the new low-income,
disabled exemption would be about half of the number who currently qualify under the low-income seniors
rebate. Remember low-income customers who.. are both disabled and 65 years of age or older currently qualify
under the existing Senior Citizen Rebate Program; therefore no additional impact will be experienced from these
individuals.
Based on this information, we anticipate approximately 40 additional persons would be eligible for the rebate
with a total of approximately $5,000 refunds per year. Staff also anticipated an additional $1,000 in temp help
would be needed to assist staff in processing the additional applications.
OPTIONS
1. Maintain status quo.
Cost: No impact.
Pros: No change needed.
Cons: Does not address the concerns expressed about the regressive nature of utility tax.
2. Expand the current low-income, Senior Citizen Utility Tax Rebate Program to include low-income,
disabled persons effective January 1, 2007. .
Cost: Around $5,000 per year for actual rebate and an estimated $1,000 in temp help to assist staff in
processing the additional applications.
Pros: Addresses the concerns expressed about the regressive nature of utility tax.
Cons: Slightly higher costs.

FEMA provided city staff with a template ordinance and exhibit which have been used to create the attached
ordinance and exhibit. Adoption of this ordinance amending Chapter 21 by adding a new Article V, Flood.
Damage Prevention, in City Code will allow the resi~tsofFederal Way to continue to participate in the NFIP
and obtain flood and l~dslide insurance on their residential and coinmercial properties. . At this time,. there are .
seventeen policy holders Within federal Way that would be affected if Council should chose not to adopt this .
ordinance and would lose their ability to participate m the NFIP.

Section 1. Findings and Conclusions. After full and careful consideration, the City Council' .
of the City of Federal Way finds that the proposed Ordinance and new Article V, Chapter 21 , Flood
Damage Prevent~on, will protect and benefit the public health, safety and welfare. Further, the
Council finds
1. The flood hazard areas.ofFed~1 Way are subject to periodic inundation which
results in loss oflife and property, health, and safety hazards, disruption of commerce
and govenimental services, extraordinary. public exp~ditures for flood protection
and relief, ~d inipairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public
health, safety, and general welfare.
2. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of
special flood hazards which increase flood heights and velocities, and. when
inadequately anchored, damage uses in other:areas. Uses that are .inadequat~ly flOod
proofed, elevated, or otherwise prot~cted from flood damage also contrlbuteto the
flood loss.
. Section 2. Amendment . FWCC Chapter 21 is hereby amended to add Article V~'. floOd .
Damage Prevention, as'set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
Section 3. Severabilitv. The provisions of this ordinance are declared separate arid severable.

(b) Application for Development Permit. .
Application for a development permit shall be made and will include, but not be limited to, plans in
duplicate drawn to scale showing the nature, location, dimensions, and elevations of the area in question,
existing or proposed structures, fill, storage of materials, drainage facilities, and the location of the
foregoing. Specifically, the following information is required:
(1) Elevation in relation to mean sea level, of the lowest floor (including basement) of all
structures recorded on a current elevation certificate (FF 81-31) with Section B completed by the City of
Federal Way Building Official;

(4) Description of the extent to whiCl1a watercourse will be altered or relocated as a
result of proposed development. . . .
(c) Designation ofthe Administrator.
The Director or designee is hereby appointed to administer and implement this article by granting or
denying development permit applications in accordance .with its provisions. The Director :s~all:, -
"(1) ReView all developmentapplicatiollSto determme that the reqUirements of this article
. have been satisfied; .
(2) Review all development applications to determine that all necessary permits have
been obtained from those Federal, State, or local governmental agencies from which prior approval is
required; and
(3) Review . all development .applications' to determine if the proposed .development is
located in the floodway. Ifloc~ted in the floodway, asSure that the en~i'oaChment provisions ofFWCC .
21-115 (a) are met. .
21-106 Use of Other Base Flood Data '(In A and V. Zones).
. When base flood elevation data has not been provided (in Aor V Zones) in accordance with
FWCC 21-104 (a), the Director shall obtain, review, and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation and
floodway data available from a Federal, State or other source, in order to administer FWCC 21-113,
Specific Standards, and FWCC 21-115 Floodways.
21-107 Information to be Obtained and Maintained.
(a) Where base flood elevation'data is provided,through the FIS, FIRM, or required as in FWCC
21-106, the applicant shall obtain and record, the actual (as-built) elevation (in relation to mean Sealevel)
of the lowest floor (including basement) of all new or substantially"improved structures, and whether or
not the structure contains a basement and provide such information to the Director or designee on a
current FEMA elevatio:p certificate (FF 81-31). Section B will be completed by the City.
(b) For all new or substantially" improved flood proofed nonresidential" structures where base
flood elevation data is provided through the FIS, FIRM, or as required in FWCC 21-106, the applicant'
shall obtain and record the elevation (in relation to mean sea level) to which the structure was flood
proofed and provide such information to the City: The City shall maintain the flood proofing ,
certificatioris required in FWCC 21-105 (b)(3);
(c) The City shall maintain for public inspection all records pertaining to the provisions of this
article.

.
21-108 Alteration of Watercourses.
.
.
.
(a) The City shall notify adjacent communities and the Department of Ecology prior to any
alteration or relocation of a watercourse, and submit evidence of such notification to the Federal
Insurance Administration; and
(b) shall require that maintenance is provided within the altered or relocated portion of said
watercourse so that the flood carrying capacity is not diminished.
21-109 Conditions for Variances.
(a) Generally, the only condition under which a variance from the'elevation standard maybe
issued is for new construction and substantial iniprovements to be erected on a small or irregularly ,
shaped lot contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base flood
level. As the lot size increases the technical justification required for issuing the variance in~reases.
(b) Variances shall not be issued within a designated floodway if any increase in floodJevels '.
during the base flood discharge would result
(c) Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the mh1immn
necessary, consi4ering the flood hazard, to afford relief.
(d) Variances shall only be issued upon:
(I) A showing of good and sufficient cause; .
(2) A determmatioilthat failure to grant the variance would result in exceptiOnal
hardship to the applicant; and
(3) A determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood
heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on
. or Victimization of the public, oiconflict with other existing laws'or or4inance~. "
(e) Variances as interpretedm the National Flood Insurance Program are based on the general
zoning law principle that they pertain to a .physical piece of property; they are not personal in na~ and
do not pertain to the structure, its inhabit;uits, economic or financial circumstances. They pri~ly
address small lots in densely. popuiated resideJ;ltial neighborhoods. As such, variances from tlood
elevations should be quite rare.
(f) . Variances may be issued for nonresidential buildings in .very limited circumstances'to allow a
lesser degree of fl9Qd proofmg than watertight or dry-flood proQfing~ where it can be determine~. that
such action will have low damage potential, complies with all other variance criteria except FWCC:21-.
l09(a) and otherwise complies with FwCC 21-110(a), 21-110(c), and iI-Ill.
(g) Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given Written notice that the peni1itted
. structure will be built with its lowest floor below the base flood elevation and that the cost of flood
insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk.
21-110 Provisions for Flood Hazard Reduction
In all areas of special flood hazards. the following standards are required:
(a) Anchoring.
(I) All new construction and substanilill improvements shall be anchored to, pr~vent
flotation. collapse, or lateral movement of the structure;
(2) All manufactured homes shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral
movement, and shall be installed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. Anchoring
methods may include, but are not limited to, use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground anchors.
(b) Construction Materials and Methods.
8
(1) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with
materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage.
(2) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed using
methods and practices that minimize flood damage.
(3) Electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air-conditioning equipment and other
service facilities shall be designed and/or otherwise elevated or located so as to prevent water from
entering or accwnulating within the components. during c.onditions of flooding. Locating such equipment
below the base flood elevation may cause annual flood insurance premiums to be increased.
(c) Utilities.
, (I) All new and replacement water supply ,systems shall be designed to minimize or
eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems;
(2) Water wells shall be l~ated on high groWld tIult is not in the floodway;
(3) New and replacement sanitary seWage systems shall be designed to minimize or
eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and discharges from the systcmls into flood waters;
'.. (4) Onsite waste disposal systeins shall be located to avoid impairment to them or
contamination from them during flooding. "
21-111 Subdivision Proposals.
(a) All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage;
(b) All subdivision proposals shall have public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas,
electrical, and water systems located and constructed to minimize or eliminate fl~ damage;
(c) "All subdivision proposals' Shall luive adequate drairiagc proVided Jo reduce exposUre to flood
-damage; ,
(d) Where base flood elevation data has no~ been provided or is not available from another
authoritative source, it shall be generated for subdivision proposals and other proposed developments
which contain at least 50 lots or 5 acres (whichever is less).
21-112 Review of Building Permits.
Where elevatiOn data is not availabl~ either through the FIS, FIRM,or from another authoritativc,source.
(FWCC 21-106), applications for building permits shall be reviewed to assure that proposed construction,
wili be reasonably safe from flooding as determined by the Director. The test of reasonableness is a local
judgment and includes use of historical data, high water marks, photographs of past flooding, etc., where
available.
21-113 Specific Standards.
The following provisions are required in all areas of special flood hazards where base flood elevation
data has been provided as set forth in FWCC 21-104 (a), or FWCC 21-106.
(a) Residential Construction.
(1) New construction and substantial improvement of any residential structure shall have
the lowest floor, including basement, elevated one foot or more above the base flood elevation (BPE).
(2) Fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are subject to flooding are
prohibited, or shall be designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by
allowing for the entry and exit of floodWaters. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be
certified by a registered professional engineer or architect 'or must meet or exceed the" following
9
.
'.
.
.
.
.
minimum criteria:
(i) A minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one
square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided.
(ii) The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade.
(iii) Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, or other coverings or
devices provided that they pennit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters.
Foundation vent standards required by the mClIRc outside the floodplain do not meet this standard and
are often inadvertently permitted. Insurance rates reflect an "all or nothing" standard. Partially ventilated
crawlspaces may be subject to an additional loading fee of 20-25% attached to the annual insurance
premium.
(b) Nonresidential Construction. .
New construction and substantial improvement of any conunercial, industrial or other nonresidential
structure shall either have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated one foot or more above the base
flood elevation; or, together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities, shall:
(1) Be flQod proofed so that below one foot Of more above the base flood level the
structure is watertight with walls substantially iffipermeable to the passage of water;
. .
(2)Have structural components capable of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads
. and effects of buoyancy;
(3) Be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect that the design and
methods of construction are in accordance with accepted standards of practice for meeting provisionS of
this subsectio~. based on their developmentandlor review of the structural design, ~cifications,and
plans. Such:eertifications shall be provided to the official as set forth in FWCC 21~105 (b);
(4) Nonresidential strucu.u-es that are elevated, not' floodproofed. must meet the s8me
, standards for space below the lowest floor as described in FWCC 21-113 (a) (2); ,
Applicants who are floodproofmg nonresidential buildings should be ware that flood insurance premiums
will be based on rates that" are one foot below the floodproofed level (e.g. a building floodproofed to the
base flood level will be rated as one foot below). Floodproofmg the building an additional foot will
reduce insurance premi1lIIl& significantly. '
. (c) Manufactured Homes.
(1) All manufactured homes in the floodplain to be placed or substantially
improved 6~ sites shall be elevated on a permanent foundation such that the lowest floor of the
manufactured home is elevated one foot or more above the base flood elevation and be securely
anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system to resist flotation, collapse and lateral
movement.
(d) Recreational VehiCles.
Recreational vehicles placed on sites are required to either:
(1) Be on the site for fewer than 180 consecutive days; or,
(2) Be fully licensed and ready for highway use, on wheels or japking system, attached to
the site only by quick disconnect type utilities and security devices, and have no permanently attached
additions; or
(3) Meet the requirements of (c) above and the elevation and anchoring requirements for
manufactured homes. "
10
21-114AE and AI-30 Zones with Base Flood Elevations but No Floodways. .
In areas with base flood elevations (but a regulatory floodway has riot be~ designated), no new
construction, substantial imProvements, or other development (including fill) shall be, pennitted within
Zones AI-30 and AE on the community's FIRM, unless it is demonstrated that the cumulative effect of
the proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated development, will not
increase the water surface elevation, of the ,base flood more than one foot at any point within the
community.
21-115 Floodways.
Located within areas of special flood hazard established in FWCC 21-104 (a) are areas
. designated as floodways. State of Washington RCW &6.16 will need to be consulted ,in. addition to this
FWCC. The more restrictive provisions shall apply. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area
due to the velocity of ~floodwaters that can carry 'debris, and increase erosion potential,. the following'
provisions apply: . . . .. ,
, (a) Encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and other
development shall be prohibited unless certification by a registered professional engineer is provided
demonstrating thro\Jgh hydrologic and hydraulic 'ana1ysesperformed in accordance with .standard
engineering i>racti~e that the proposed encroachment would not ,result in any increase' in flood levels
during the occurrence of the base flood'discharge~ . " . . .'
(b) Construction or reconstruction of residential structures is prohibited within designated
floodways, except for (1) repairs, reconstruction, or improvements to a structure which' do not ulcrease
the ground floor area; and (2) repairs, reconstruction' or improvements to a structure, the cost- of which
does not exce~ 50 pc:rcent of the mar~t value of the structure either, (i) before the repa4", or
, reconstruction is starte~' or (ii) if the structure has, 'been 'damaged, and is being restored, before the .'
damage occurred.. Any project for itnprOvement of a structure to correct existing' violations of state or
local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified ,by the local 'code
enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to assure safe living conditions, or to
structures identified as historic places, may be exclu"ed in the 50 percent.
(c) If (a) above is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements'shall comply with
all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of FWCC 21-110, Provisions for Flood Hazard
Reduction.
21-116 Critical Facility.
Construction of new critical facilities shall be, to. the extent possible, located outside the limits of the
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) (IOO-year floodplain). Construction of new critical facilities shiUl be
permissible within the SFHA if no feasible alternative site is available. Critical facilities constructed
within the SFHA shall have the lowest floor elevated three feet above BFE or to the height of the 500-
year flood, whichever is higher. Access to and from the critical facility should also be protected to the
height utilized above. Floodproofing and sealing measures must be taken to ensure that toxic substances
will not be displaced by or released into floodwaters. Access routes elevated to or above the level of the
base flood elevation shall be provided to all critical facilities to the extent possible.
