RE: Dumas Bay Centre Options Summary
This summary of information related to options identified by City Council for Dumas Bay Centre
is provided by Legal, Community Development and Parks. More detailed background
information from each department is attached. Finance has also attached a five year financial
summary.
. Maintain status quo
. Transitional overnight homeless shelter
· Nonprofit organization office space
. Live in artist colony
. Replace current building with corporate retreat facility with or without the Knutzen Family
Theatre
Maintain Existin2 Buildin2 and Use Status Quo
. Land use - No impact to existing building and land use non-conformances. The existing
building is classified as an R-l building code occupancy with a land use classification of
government facility providing community recreation activities including: recreation,
cultural and arts activities (passive); meeting room rental; conferences and retreats;
weddings; receptions; associated lodging; and, city offices, all managed by the city parks
department.
. Legal- No impact.
· Program - Services stay the same, invest in marketing, and repair and renovate the facility
as planned and/or needed. No interruption in current conference and retreat business,
maintains long standing relationship w/neighbors and community. Consider this a 5 year
plan and begin discussion on long-term plan.
Transitional overni2ht homeless shelter
· Land use - This use would likely constitute a change of land use and may not be allowed
unless qualifying as a government facility. Although new land use approvals would be
required, there are no apparent significant nonconforming development requirements that
. would be triggered by this change of land use. This use would not constitute a change of
occupancy under the building code. Any major revision to the building may require
upgrade to the fire alarm system, exit lighting and seismic upgrades.
. Legal- Financial impact could be $3,188,086 as a result of the following funds accepted:
$405,000.00 from the State Legislature in 1993; $1,395,099 from the King County Open
Space Bond Proceeds; $901,086 from King County Conservation Futures Levy Funds;
$197,000 in CDBG funds and $290,000 from the King County Arts Commission. May
require repayment or investment into like-kind property to satisfy condition of funds.
. Program - Serves a community need as an overnight shelter for individuals. Provide
access to medical and mental health services, living and job training support. Funding for
transportation, maintenance, and food service would need to be identified. Loss of
Retreat/Conference service. Potential impact on KFT programs and neighborhood.
Nonprofit or2anization office space
. Land use - This use would likely constitute a change ofland use and may not be allowed
unless qualifying as a government facility. New land use approvals would be required.
With the exception of parking, there are no apparent significant nonconforming
development requirements that would be triggered by this change ofland use.
. Legal- Financial impact could be $3,188,086 as a result ofthe following funds accepted:
$405,000.00 from the State Legislature in 1993; $1,395,099 from the King County Open
Space Bond Proceeds; $901,086 from King County Conservation Futures Levy Funds;
$197,000 in CDBG funds and $290,000 from the King County Arts Commission. May
require repayment or investment into like-kind property to satisfy condition of funds.
· Program - Provide a central location for non-profit organizations, with office space as an
in-kind contribution to the success of these organizations. Loss of Retreat/Conference
business, re-model cost, on-going subsidy costs, would still have to deal wlbuilding
systems, out ofthe way location for business operations. Identify capital improvements
required, budget and funding sources. Research interested non-profits, develop a service
model.
Live in artist colony
· Land use - This use would likely constitute a change ofland use and may not be allowed
unless qualifying as a government facility. Although new land use approvals would be
required, there are no apparent significant nonconforming development requirements that
would be triggered by this change of land use. This use would not constitute a change of
occupancy under the building code. Any major revision to the building may require
upgrade to the fire alarm system, exit lighting and seismic upgrades.
. Legal- Financial impact could be $3,188,086 as a result ofthe following funds accepted:
$405,000.00 from the State Legislature in 1993; $1,395,099 from the King County Open
Space Bond Proceeds; $901,086 from King County Conservation Futures Levy Funds;
$197,000 in CDBG funds and $290,000 from the King County Arts Commission. May
require repayment or investment into like-kind property to satisfy condition of funds.
. Program - Support for local art community, identity of City as artist friendly and tourism
enhancement. On-going subsidy costs, management, would still need to deal wlbuilding
systems. Identify capital improvements required, budget and funding sources. Research
potential models for artist work/living/retail space.
Implement recommendations of Performin2 Arts & Conference Center Analvsis to replace
current buildin2 with corporate retreat facility with or without Knutzen Familv Theatre
. Land use - Demolition and reconstruction of the existing structure would require new
land use review as a permitted use within the RS zone and a building permit for the new
structure. Any new structure and related site improvements would be required to comply
with all city codes in affect at that time.
. Legal- Financial impact could be $2,991,086 if the Knutzen Family Theatre remains as
a result of the following funds accepted: $405,000.00 from the State Legislature in 1993;
$1,395,099 from the King County Open Space Bond Proceeds; $901,086 from King
County Conservation Futures Levy Funds; and $290,000 from the King County Arts
Commission. This reduced figure accounts for the CDBG funds that would not be
affected. May require repayment or investment into like-kind property to satisfy
condition of funds.
· Program - Higher and better use of site as a corporate retreat/conference center, enhances
tourism, develops public private partnerships. Loss of existing retreat/conference
business, cost of demolition, cost to rebuild, currently have no identified partners and
may be difficult in this economy to solicit corporate partners. Research demolition costs,
close current facility, identify capital costs and funding for new building, look for
corporate/non-profit partners. Develop capital improvement plan for Knutzen Family
Theatre and funding options.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 30, 2008
To: Donna Hansen, Director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services
FROM: Greg Fewins, Director of Community Development Services
RE: Dumas Bay Centre Options
Community Development Services staff have reviewed the information titled 'Dumas Bay
Centre Options' prepared for the May 6, 2008 city council study session. The purpose of our
review is to provide preliminary feedback on potential nonconforming building and zoning
requirements related to the proposed options. This information may be helpful in establishing
the magnitude of costs related to upgrade of potential nonconformances.
Options identified in the 'Dumas Bay Centre Options' memorandum addressed by this analysis
are described as:
. Maintain status quo
· Transitional overnight homeless shelter
· Nonprofit organization office space
. Live in artist colony
· Replace current building with corporate retreat facility with or without the Knutzen Family
Theatre
There is presently only limited information available on each ofthese options related to the
extent of the use, operation and ownership of the facility, and the extent and costs of anticipated
facility and site improvements. Therefore, conclusions contained in this memorandum are
preliminary at best, and will require further evaluation as potential options are refined.
Existin2 Buildin2 and Use
The existing building is classified as an R-l building code occupancy with a land use
classification of government facility providing community recreation activities including:
recreation, cultural and arts activities (passive); meeting room rental; conferences and retreats;
weddings; receptions; associated lodging; and, city offices, all managed by the city parks
department. Although building code allows an occupancy load of 968 people, the prior land use
approval limited occupancy to 400 people. 104 parking spaces are provided to serve the existing
use at a ratio of one parking stall for every four people. Exterior activities are restricted to
passive recreation with a range of 15 to 30 people using the beach at anyone time. These are the
parameters by which any change of use will be measured. There may be other restrictions
related to grants used to acquire and redevelop the site that are not included in this analysis.
Preliminary Nonconformin2 Findin2s
Thresholds for determining when building and land use nonconformances must be brought up to
current code are principally driven by change of use/occupancy, expansion of existing building
area, or value of proposed improvements. Change of use under the zoning code is based on such
factors as changes to hours of operation, parking, traffic generation, general appearance, outdoor
storage and drainage. Change of occupancy under building code is primarily related to changing
from one occupancy classification to another, such as residential to business.
A change of land use, whether for a single tenant or multiple tenant use would require upgrades
of existing nonconformances geographically or throughout the site. Change of occupancy under
the building code would require upgrading certain building nonconformances per code. Again,
without more specific information it is not possible to be conclusive on the need to upgrade
nonconformances, but the following provides a preliminary assessment of the existing facility for
each of the proposed options.
. Maintain status quo
No impact to existing building and land use nonconformances.
. Transitional overnight homeless shelter
This use would likely constitute a change of land use and may not be allowed unless
qualifying as a government facility. Although new land use approvals would be required,
there are no apparent significant nonconforming development requirements that would be
triggered by this change of land use. This use would not constitute a change of
occupancy under the building code. Any major revision to the building may require
upgrade to the fire alarm system, exit lighting and seismic upgrades.
. Nonprofit organization office space
This use would likely constitute a change of land use and may not be allowed unless
qualifying as a government facility. New land use approvals would be required. With
the exception of parking, there are no apparent significant nonconforming development
requirements that would be triggered by this change of land use. Additional parking may
be required, potentially requiring drainage upgrades. This use would constitute a change
of occupancy under the building code requiring upgrades to electrical, mechanical,
plumbing, fire protection, accessibility, seismic and energy code systems and
improvements. There may be a fire separation issue between the auditorium and new
business areas and the addition of sprinklers does not reduce the requirement for fire
separation.
. Live in artist colony
This use would likely constitute a change of land use and may not be allowed unless
qualifying as a government facility. Although new land use approvals would be required,
there are no apparent significant nonconforming development requirements that would be
triggered by this change of land use. This use would not constitute a change of
occupancy under the building code. Any major revision to the building may require
upgrade to the fire alarm system, exit lighting and seismic upgrades.
. Replace current building with corporate retreat facility with or without the Knutzen
Family Theatre
Demolition and reconstruction of the existing structure would require new land use
. review as a permitted use within the RS zone and a building permit for the new structure.
Any new structure and related site improvements would be required to comply with all
city codes in affect at that time.
Summary
The existing use, structure and site improvements are generally compliant with current land use
regulations. Elements that are not entirely compliant, such as building design, have code based
processes to relieve the strict application of current codes. One area that may be most affected
by changing uses is required parking.
The existing building has a fire alarm system that does not meet current standards. The
auditorium is the only area ofthe existing building that is sprinkled. Many ofthe building's
details do not meet current codes, such as hand rails, door hardware, exiting, mechanical and fire
protections systems, and seismic requirements.
A more detailed analysis of building and land use implications and costs can be provided once
options become more refined.

MEMORANDUM

MAY 13,2008
CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
PATRICIA A. RICHARDSON, CITY ATTORNEY
KAROLYN R. KLOHE, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: DUMAS BAY CENTRE RESTRICTIONS
The City Council is currently considering options for future use of the Dumas Bay
Centre. This paper will look at whether there are any restrictions on the use of the Dumas Bay
Centre property based on the City's source of funding for acquisition of the property and later
improvements. As you will see from the discussion below, because the City received funding
from the State for acquisition of the retreat center, the City must allow public access to the
property. In addition, because the City received funding from King County for acquisition of the
open space area, the City must maintain those lands as open space. If there is a change in use to
the open space or sale of the property, the City must reimburse King County in cash based on the
changed use value of the land or find replacement property and likely repay any funds used for
improvements.
BACKGROUND
In 1993, when presented with a unique opportunity to purchase a former monastery from
the Sisters of the Visitation, the City acquired the Visitation Retreat Center and surrounding
property for the purpose of preserving open space, providing a public retreat facility and
recreation programs, and public waterfront access. The City purchased the property, consisting
of 12.06 acres ofland with a 47,214 sq. foot retreat center built in 1956, for a total price of $2.7
million. The Visitation Retreat Center was later renamed the Dumas Bay Centre. Today, the
property, located at 3200 SW Dash Point Rd., consists of a retreat and meeting center, a park
with views ofthe Puget Sound and Maury Island, and the Knutsen Family Theatre.
Prior to purchase of the property from the Sisters of the Visitation, a seller's appraisal
valued the improvements, consisting ofthe Visitation Retreat Center, at approximately $700,000.
The total market value of the property was valued at $3.3 million. Another appraisal requested
by the City valued the property at $2.52 million. The City sought funding for acquisition of the
property from the State and King County. Ultimately, acquisition of the improvements on the
property appear to have been funded solely by an appropriation from the State of Washington for
$402,975, administered by the State Department of Community Development, and possibly some
of the City's own funds. Acquisition for the remainder of the property, which was essentially
open space, was funded by the King County Open Space Bond Proceeds ($1,395,099) and King
County Conservation Futures Levy Proceeds ($901,086).
Construction of the Knutzen Family Theatre, built in 1997-1998, was also funded by
multiple sources, including a utility tax bond ($1,550,000), private donations ($407,490), King
County Arts Commission Grants ($245,000), and Community Development Block Grant
("CDBG") funds ($5,000) and additional funding from the City Council ($454,529). In addition,
there have been a number of improvements made to the retreat center and parking lot that were
funded from outside sources, including a CDBG Grant in 1995 for ADA Improvements
($148,110) and another CDBG Grant in 1997-98 for a parking lot expansion ($44,838). There
also were a number of grants from the King County Arts Commission, including a restroom
renovation in 1996-97 for ($50,000) and upgrades to the basement in 1996 ($4,826).
DISCUSSION
As explained above, the City and the seller had appraisals of the property done that
allocated a value to the improvements on the property, consisting of the Visitation Retreat
Center, and a value to the surrounding property, which consisted of open space, including
landscaping and a parking lot. Consistent with this valuation method, the City was able to seek
funding for the improvements and the surrounding open space from different funding sources.
As result, there are different use restrictions on the property improvements (i.e. the conference
center) and the open space. Following is a summary of the funding sources and applicable use
restrictions.
A. State Department of Community Development Funding
The Washington Legislature appropriated $405,000.00 to assist the City of Federal Way
in purchasing the Sisters of the Visitation property. As stated above, these funds were used
solely for the purchase of the improvements on the property. However, the resulting Property
Covenant explained in more detail below was recorded against the entire parcel. Following the
Legislative appropriation, the City of Federal Way and the Washington State Department of
Community Development ("State") executed a capital contract (Federal Way Agreement No. 93-
212) on August 6, 1993, which contained the following relevant terms:
3. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
The [City of Federal Way] hereby agrees to perform in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Property Covenant which shall be executed
in substantially the same form as Attachment C, which is incorporatedeherein by this reference.
2
15. OWNERSHIP OF PROJECT/CAPITAL FACILITIES
The DEPARTMENT makes no claim to any real property purchased,
improved or constructed with funds under this contract and, by this grant,
does not assert and will not acquire any ownership interest or title to the
land, capital facilities and/or equipment constructed or purchased with
state funds under this contract. ...
There are two key provisions in the above language that affect the future use and
disposition of the Dumas Bay Centre property. First, the State required the City to record a
Property Covenant, which contained a restriction on the City's use of the property. Second, the
State expressly stated that it did not make any claim to the real property or improvements and did
not assert any ownership interest or title to the land or capital facilities. It is also important to
note what the contract does not contain. For example, although the contract certainly could have
required language requiring the City to allow public access to the property in perpetuity or to
provide reimbursement or replacement land if the City disposes of the property (similar to the
Interlocal Agreement between the City and King County discussed in Section B below), it does
not contain such requirements.
The restrictions on use arise from the Property Covenant, executed by the City and the
State Department of Community Development on July 23, 1993, which provided the following
terms and conditions:
1. Prooertv Covenant. The City hereby agrees to allow public access
to the Property during the City's standard accepted park operating hours.
2. Successors in Interest. This Property Covenant shall burden the
City only and shall not be a covenant running with the land and shall not be
binding on successors in interest and assigns ofthe City.
(Emphasis Added).
Based on the plain language in the Property Covenant, it appears that so long as the City
retains ownership of the property, the City must allow public access to the property during
standard park operating hours. One question that may arise is what it means for the City to allow
"public access." Currently, the facility is open to the public during regular business hours. Most
of the Centre is either dedicated to specific programming events (e.g., dance classes, other art
programs, etc.), or is made available for rental as part of the conference center facilities (e.g.,
meeting space rentals, overnight conference accommodations, and wedding and other special
event rentals). The current use of the building does not allow the public access to the entire
facility at all times. However, the facilities are available equally to all citizens.
Potential future uses that mayor may not qualify as allowing "public access" in
accordance with the funding documents and would require a more detailed analysis. However,
the following history may be helpful. The 2003 Legislative Appropriation stated that "its
appropriation was subject to the City ensuring continued public access to the [Visitation Retreat
3
Center]." Apparently, the City also emphasized in its grant application that the Visitation Retreat
Center property "was a limited waterfront resource and its acquisition would provide additional
public access to the beach. It was based on these representations and conditions that the State
elected to fund this project."
In regard to potential disposal of the property if the City wishes to sell the property to a
third party for its highest and best use, the Property Covenant arguably does not restrict the City
from sale of the property.
B. King County Open Space Bond Proceeds
The citizens of King County approved the Open Space Bond program on November 7,
1989. King County and the City of Federal Way subsequently entered into an Interlocal
Cooperation Agreement for the Open Space Acquisition Projects, dated March 29, 1990 (Federal
Way Agreement No. 90-36) ("Interlocal Agreement #90-36"), and a subsequent amendment,
dated September 20, 1993 (Second Addendum to Interlocal Agreement #90-36(b)).
Interlocal Agreement #90-36 differs from the contract with the State in that it contains a
requirement that the property be maintained as "open space" in perpetuity:
Section 4.3 Maintenance in Perpetuity. The City and any successor in
interest, agree to maintain the lands and facilities constituting the Projects
acquired with Bond Proceeds provided pursuant to this Agreement, the Election
Ordinance and the Bond Ordinance for the purposes set forth herein in verpetuity.
If the City changes the status or use of lands or facilities acquired with Bond
proceeds pursuant to this Agreement to any other purpose or use, the City shall
pay the County an amount acceptable to the County in cash to provide for
replacement of the open space land or facilities or substitute other proverty for
which King County determines, through its normal legislative process, to be
consistent with the purpose of King County Ordinance 9071. In either case, the
value of the propertv shall be established at the time of the chanfle in status or
use, based on the changed status or use not based on its value as vubUc green
svace, green belt, open space, park or trail. In no event, shall the use of any land
or facilities constituting a Project be changed to any private use, which would
jeopardize the tax exempt status ofthe interest on the Bonds. ...
Nothing herein shall prevent the City from granting easements, franchises
or concessions or from making joint use agreements or other operational
agreements which are compatible with the use of a Project for the purposes
authorized in this agreement and the Ordinance.
(Emphasis added).
"Open space" is defined in the Interlocal Agreement as follows:
4
2.11 Open Space. The term "open space" or "open space land" means (a)
any land area so designated by official comprehensive land use plan and adopted
by a city or county and zoned accordingly or (b) any land area, the preservation of
which in its present use would (i) conserve and enhance natural or scenic
resources, or (ii) protect streams or water supply, or (iii) promote conservation of
soils, wetlands, beaches or tidal marshes, or (iv) enhance the value to the public of
abutting and neighboring parks, forests, wildlife sanctuaries or other open space,
or (v) enhance recreational opportunities (vi) preserve historic sites or (vii) retain
in its natural state, tracts of land not less than five acres situated in an urban area
and open to public use on such conditions as may be reasonably required by the
legislative bond granting the open space classification.
C. King County Open Space Conservation Futures Levy Funding
In addition to King County Open Space Bond Funds, the City received $901,086 in King
County Conservation Futures Levy Proceeds. Conservation Futures Levy funds are authorized
by RCW 84.34.230 and are collected from property taxes levied throughout King County. On
June 5, 1990, King County entered into Interlocal Cooperation Agreement Between King County
and the City of Federal Way for Suburban City Open Space Acquisition Projects (Federal Way
Agreement No. 90-52) ("Interlocal Agreement #90-52").
Although very similar to Interlocal Agreement #90-36 with King County for the
use of bond funds to purchase open space lands, Interlocal Agreement #90-52 pertained
to the allocation of Conservation Futures levy funds. According to the records available
it appears that the total amount received from the Conservation Futures Levy Funds was
$901,086. The terms and conditions of the original Interlocal Agreement are the only
restrictions that apply. The relevant provisions are very similar to those provided above
for in Interlocal Agreement #90-36 governing bond funds and read as follows:
Section 6.5. Maintenance in Perpetuity
The City, and any successor in interest, agree to maintain properties
acquired with funds provided pursuant to this agreement as open space in
perpetuitv. If the City changes the status or use of properties acquired with funds
provided pursuant to this agreement to any other purpose, the City shall pay the
County an amount in cash to be mutually determined or substitute other property
acceptable to the County. In either case, the value of the property shall be
established at the time of the change in status or use, based on the changed status
or use and not based on its value as open space.
(Emphasis added).
"Open Space" is similarly defined as in the previous King County Interlocal Agreement.
Taking into account the similar maintenance requirements and definitions of open space,
this essentially means that the same basic use restrictions and requirements apply to the funds
5
received from the King County Open Space Bond Fund and the Conservation Futures Levy
Fund, even though they are governed by separate Interlocal Agreements. In summary, the City is
required to maintain the open space land area of the Dumas Bay Centre property as open space in
perpetuity and, if the property is sold, the City must reimburse King County for the value of the
land based on the value of the change in use or substitute other replacement property.
D. Improvements Made After Acquisition
Since the City acquired the Dumas Bay Centre property in 1993, a number of
improvements have been made to the retreat and meeting facility, including construction of the
Knutzen Family Theatre, ADA improvements, and expansion of the parking lot. These
improvements were funded in part with approximately $197,000 in CDBG funds and $290,000
from the King County Arts Commission. If there is a change in use of the property or the
property is sold, the City may have to reimburse those funds. For CDBG funds, reimbursement
of funds is subject to negotiation with the King County Department of Community and Health
Services. If the property is sold and proceeds of the sale are used for additional City services
previously offered at the Dumas Bay Centre, the City may be able to reallocate some of those
funds.
If the City Council decides to change the use of the property or to sell the property,
additional research on the reimbursement requirements for CDBG and King County Arts
Commission funds will be necessary to establish the exact amount.
CONCLUSION
The City received funding for purchase of the Visitation Retreat Center from the State
Legislature. As a result, a property covenant requires the City to allow continued public access
to the property. This provision does not appear to prevent the City from disposing of the
property. King County also provided Open Space Bond Funds and Conservation Futures Levy
Funds that require the City to keep the property surrounding the retreat center as "open space."
Although the King County funding does not prevent the City from selling the property, if the
property is sold, the City must reimburse King County in cash based on the current value of the
changed use of the land or find replacement property.

FROM: Mary Faber, PRCS
RE: Dumas Bay Centre Options
The operations ofthe Dumas Bay Centre conference and retreat facility were briefly reviewed as
part ofthe Performing Art Center and Conference Center analysis by C.H. Johnson Consulting, Inc.
The major items reported in that assessment were as follows:
~ The Dumas Bay Centre has a long standing history with the community.
~ The facility amenities are substandard with peer locations.
~ Services provided and staffing are key reasons for returning customers, food services
were rated as excellent.
~ Marketing efforts are restricted by a low budget and limits the building to a more passive
marketing outreach.
~ Many groups are interested in the facility due to the views and site location but had concerns
because of limited parking. Expansion of parking would not be possible without adding
a fire suppression system.
The report indicated that the Dumas Bay Centre maintains a minimal annual loss when compared to
other facilities profiled. The current use is primarily a retreat facility with minimalist guest rooms,
but also provides meeting and classroom space for a number of local community events as well as
Knutzen Family Theater. With no program or financial analysis, the study recommended the
following:
~ Demolish existing Conference Facility Centre and transfer current demand to existing/
future hotellballroom complexes. Keep the current Knutzen Family Theatre structure
and make some improvements.
~ Market the site to a corporate or non-profit as a site for a corporate retreat center, similar
to Cedarbrook, in SeaTac.
~ Have the future retreat center co-exist with the Knutzen Family Theatre.
1
City Council reviewed this information during the annual retreat in January and briefly discussed
options for future planning of the Dumas Bay Centre facility. Following the discussion, Council
requested additional information ofthose options for further review.
II. Options for Consideration
1. Maintain Status Quo
Status Quo-Services stay the same, invest in marketing, and repair and renovate the
facility to whatever level Council directs.
Challenges: Building systems will fail at some point, not achieving financial goals,
building amenities substandard.
Benefits: No interruption in current business, strong service commitment by staff,
long standing relationship w/neighbors and community, enhances tourism.
Next Steps: Consider this a 5 year plan, begin discussion on long-term plan.
Develop criteria for decision making on what level of capital funding would be
acceptable for major capital repairs/system failures.
2. Change of Use
a. Transitional Shelter-Serve as an overnight shelter for individuals who need shelter,
provide access to medical and mental health services, living and job training support.
Challenges: Loss of Retreat/Conference business, transportation, funding, we
currently do not have a service partner for these types of services, provision of food,
affect on KFT programs, would still have to deal wlbuilding systems, security needs
and perceived negative effect on neighbors
Benefits: Serves a community need.
Next Steps: Identify capital improvements required, budget and funding sources.
Research partners, develop a transportation plan, work with human service providers
to develop medical, mental health services, living and job training skills.
b. Location for city supported Non-profits-Remodel as office space for non-profits
Challenges: Loss of Retreat/Conference business, re-model cost, on-going subsidy
costs, would still have to deal wlbuilding systems, out of the way location for
business operations.
Benefits: Provide a central location for non-profits, provide office space as an in-
kind contribution to the success of these non-profits.
Next Steps: Identify capital improvements required, budget and funding sources.
Research interested non-profits, develop a service model.
2
c. Artist Colony-Serve as a live in artist colony, provide live/work space
Challenges: On-going subsidy costs, management, would still need to deal
wlbuilding systems
Benefits: Support for local art community, identity of City as artist friendly and
tourism enhancement
Next Steps: Identify capital improvements required, budget and funding sources.
Research potential models for artist work/living/retail space.
3. Implement recommendations of Performing Arts & Conference Center Analysis
a. Demolish the existing Dumas Bay Centre, seek a corporate sponsor or sponsors and
seek to replace the current building with a corporate retreat facility, maintain
current operations of Knutzen Family Theatre.
Challenges: Loss of existing retreat/conference business, cost of demolition, cost to
rebuild, currently have no identified partners and may be difficult in this economy to
solicit corporate partners.
Benefits: Higher and better use of site as a corporate retreat/conference center,
enhances tourism, develops public private partnerships.
Next Steps: Research demolition costs, close current facility, re-Iocate services so
area facilities identify capital costs and funding for new building, look for
corporate/non-profit partners. Develop capital improvement plan for Knutzen
Family Theatre and funding options.

Subject:
Citizen Survey
Introduction
$30,000 was allocated in the 2007-2008 budget to survey the community. This survey will
be the City's first comprehensive, statistically valid baseline survey. It will help us in our
performance measurement efforts and budget process. Staff is recommending use of the
National Citizen Survey.
The National Citizen Survey is administered through the National Research Center which
is affiliated with ICMA. They are able to provide this service at a relatively' low cost
through careful standardization and automation of the survey process. Each participating
jurisdiction can make a limited number of customizations for its locale.
National Citizen Survey
The base survey consists of a standard survey instrument plus three customized policy
questions and one customized open-ended question. The survey will be statistically valid
with a plus or minus 3% margin of error. The survey includes a comparison report with all
other cities nationwide participating in the National Citizen Survey.
The survey will be administered in three ways:
· Mail: The survey will be mailed to 3,000 randomly selected households in Federal
Way. This hardcopy survey will also be available in Spanish, Korean and Russian.
Also, respondents will have the chance to take the survey online instead of mailing
back their hardcopy.
· Phone: The National Research Center will complete 400 phone interviews.
· Web: After the mailed survey takes place, the same survey will be posted on our
website so that others outside the original sample group can answer the questions.
This data will be tabulated for us in conjunction with the other results.

o The City should only raise taxes to maintain core services such as public safety, streets, buildinglland
use, and court and legal services.

Environmental sustainability is important, but the City should not develop new
programs. The City should wait for the green market to develop because current
up-front costs for "going green" (even those that simply reduce emissions) are not
justifiable yet for a local government.

facility instead of contracting for services. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the
following statements concerning jail services?
Strongly Somewhat Somewhat Strongly Don.t
Agree Agree Disagree Disagree Know
The City should find alternative jails for all its prisoners and continue to contract
for jail services."
The City should partner with other jurisdictions to build a jail to serve all the
jurisdictions involved in the artnershi .
The City should build and operate a short-term jail facility (housing prisoners for
up to 30 days) in Federal Way, and continue to contract with other jails, such as
Yakima, for long-term jail services.
