BUSINESS ITEM
South Kinl! Fire & Rescue's Proposed Boundarv Line Adjustment
Ms. Richardson presented the background information. The South King County Fire & Rescue (SKCF&R) would
like to do a boundary line adjustment on a parcel that they own on S. 356th, east of the Blueberry Farm. In 1985
there was a deed that gives the County future rights to the Brooklake Community Center's property. The Title
Company found a 1970 Statutory Warranty Deed that Lakehaven had conveyed the property to King County Fire
District 39. The City had thought that they owned the whole parcel. The SKCF&R is seeking a boundary line
adjustment of about 50 feet around the North and East side of their parcel. They need Council approval for their title
insurance. Deputy Fire Chief Knorr stated that pursuant to state law, there are response guidelines that need to be
followed. SKCF&R have 5 years of good response data that shows that they have weaknesses in the response area
along the development of South 356th, the Senior Retirement Homes and up into the Crossings area. A new Fire
Station would alleviate a lot of the longer response times in those areas. They have projected that if they opened that
station today they would have about 1,400 calls a year. They are projecting that the station will be running in 2013.
Mr. Ikerd asked if the Parks Department would be able to access the Blueberry Farm. Deputy Chief Knorr stated
they would maintain a driveway at that location for access. Council member Ferrell moved to not oppose South
King County Fire & Rescue's proposed boundary line adjustment for the parcel on S. 356tb Street. Chair
Burbidge seconded. Motion passed.
PUBLIC COMMENT
H. David Kaplan preferred to save his comments until a particular agenda item was going to be presented.
COMMISSION COMMENT
Brian Ailinger, Parks & Recreation Commission Vice Chair, spoke in support of the items that were being presented
tonight by Mr. Steve Ikerd.
APPROVAL OF SUMMARY
Council Member Burbidge moved to approve the July meeting minutes as written, Council Member Ferrell
seconded. Motion passed.
BUSINESS ITEMS
Centerstal!e Proposal
Mr. Bryce presented the information. Mr. Bryce stated that the proposal document is also a document that is open
for discussion. They are open to any solution that will solve the problems that they have identified. Mr. Bryce stated
PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES & PUBLIC SAFETY COUNCIL COMMITTEE
Tuesday September 9, 2008 Summary
Page 2
that when he first came onto the job he noticed that the Knutzen Family Theatre (KFT) was built for 10 local
performing arts organizations. At this time, there are only two that still operate and use the KFT; Centerstage (CST)
and 9th A venue Dance. He feels that this is going in the wrong direction. They are also aware that 9th A venue Dance
may not be using KFT this year. Due to the confusion of whether or not 9th A venue Dance is using the facility, CST
has had to move 1/3 of their Christmas show to Tacoma. Mr. Bryce stated the current business model with the city
does not work. In 2007 CST paid back to the City 23% of their annual operating budget. That was in rental and
mandated technical fees. By comparison the Seattle Public Theater pays the City of Seattle 1.5% of their operating
budget. CST made their first written proposal to the City in the Spring of 2005. They had proposed that the City pay
a management fee of $50,000. They have had to raise that fee. They are suggesting two things: 1) The City gives to
CST $50,000 in a direct grant. CST does not believe that this is a good solution. 2) CST manages the KFT. CST
would receive $75,000 from the City. This money would be used only to manage the facility. They would employ
and sub-contract the technical operations of the KFT. CST would do 5 productions of 4 weeks each; this would
leave them 32 to weeks to make other revenues. He stated that it is not a losing situation for the City Of Federal
Way because even if it only breaks even, the City is securing the future of performing arts at the KFT. He says the
numbers make perfect sense, and it releases the city from any further obligations that the City has with KFT. CST
would save $40,000 on rental and technical labor, $8,000 in office space rental, and $5,000 in all other events. For
the past three years they have gone back to the City Of Federal Way for grants, which have kept them alive. Mr.
Bryce also discussed concerns that have been previously expressed by the City Of Federal Way. Those concerns are
1) The payment ofa management fee is unfair to other performing Arts Organizations in Federal Way, 2) Will CST
cooperate with other groups who use KFT, 3) Is CST competent to manage the KFT? 4) Is CST strong enough? 5)
W ill CST's operation of the KFT safeguard the mission and vision ofthe KFT? 6) Will CST staff cooperate with
Dumas Bay Centre staff?
Roger Wood Vice President of CST stated that bringing CST Theatre and Knutzen Family Theatre together would
serve the citizens of Federal Way much better.
Maintenance Plan to Remove & Replace Cottonwood Trees
Mr. Ikerd presented the background information. Safety inspections have been done on our trails, and they identified
a section of the West Campus Trail that has a lot of damage from shallow rooted trees. This problem was put on
their work plan to remove the trees and repair the asphalt. In the process of putting together a plan, there was a large
storm that blew over a lot of cottonwoods; the trees were removed and replaced with Evergreens and Conifers.
Staff is recommending removing approximately 60 non-significant trees. Staff will mail out letters to the neighbors
detailing what their plan is - removing the cottonwoods and replacing them with more suitable tree varieties. The
Committee requested that when a letter is sent out, it includes information about cottonwood trees, and also that
taking down trees is a last resort for the parks department. Council member Ferrell is concerned with the loss of
trees and what it will do to the aesthetics of the area. Committee requested that staff provide them with pictures of
the area, and a more specific identification ofthe area. Mr. Roe stated that a large number of those trees are leaning,
and are also destroying the trails. Ms. Hanson stated that the number of trees being removed is related to the damage
that they are doing to the trail. It is more cost effective to remove the trees damaging the trails and remove the
leaning trees all at one time, and staff wanted to inform the Council of the process that is being used. If need be, the
Parks Department can take down the leaning trees now, and do the trail repair at a later time. This item will be
brought to Council on September 16 as an emerging issue. Staff will provide visual aids, information about
cottonwoods and a copy of the draft letter for the meeting.
Name for SW 363Td Open Space
Public Comment: H. David Kaplan stated that Alma Bennett was very instrumental in getting Federal Way parcels
on a King County open space bond. The Bennett family agreed with the name and the Parks Commission approved
it at their August meeting. Council member Ferrell moved to recommend approval of naming SW 363rd Open
Space after Alma Bennett. Chair Burbidge seconded. Motion Passed.

Celebration Park Maintenance Buildinl!
Mr. Ikerd provided the background information. Staff bid the supply and installation of the Celebration Park
Maintenance Building separately. Council approved the bid on March 20th. When staffwentto order the building,
the supplier stated that he was unable to supply the building as specified. Staff then went out to bid again, but this
time they bid it as a whole package; the building, supply and install, and the cement slab. Three bids were received.
The lowest responsive bid was from CHG Building Systems, Inc. for $146,200. The total bid is $168,598 - this
includes insulation and tax. Council member Ferrell moved to forward the bid acceptance for the installation
of a pre-engineered meal maintenance building in Celebration Park to full Council on September 16 for
approval. Chair Burbidge seconded. Motion passed.
The acceptance of the sole bidder, "Sound Harley Davidson", for the purchase of two Harley Davidson
motorcycles
Chief Wilson presented the background information. The Police Department is moving away from leasing vehicles
and moving towards purchasing their vehicles. They received one bid. Council member Ferrell asked why they are
purchasing the high end priced Harley Davidson's. Chief answered that there are limited options for the types of
bikes that can be used in emergency situations. The Department has tested many different bikes. The Harley
Davidson has the capabilities that they need, and it is also what the officers prefer. They also already have Harley
Davidson bikes in their fleet, and this would maintain some continuity. Council member Ferrell moved to approve
and award the bid to "Sound Harley Davidson" for the purchase of two Harley Davidson motorcycles. Chair
Burbidge seconded. Motion passed.
Look Alike Weapon Lel!islation
Chief Wilson presented the background information. This is to be added to the Legislative Agenda. Earlier this year
an officer was investigating a vehicle prowl. He was in a foot chase with the suspect. The suspect pulled what
appeared to be a firearm from his waist band and pointed it at the officer. The officer fIred at him twice and missed.
This fIrearm was later identified as an "airsoft" pistol. While working with the Prosecutor's Office a loop hole was
discovered; the Charge of Assault 2nd Degree did not apply. The weapon has to be capable of producing bodily
harm. It is tough to argue that an airsoft pistol is capable of producing bodily harm. They are looking for a solution
to make an adjustment to the Assault Statute. If you use a look alike weapon, and point it at a Police Officer in the
Commission of a crime this would be a class B felony. Council member Ferrell moved to amend this item, and
make it an action item. Chair Burbidge seconded. Motion passed. Council member Ferrell moved approval to
support Legislation to modify the Assault Statute to include "Look Alike Weapons". Chair Burbidge
seconded. Motion passed.
Al!reement between City of Federal Way and Ehli Turner Auction to auction surplus vehicles and
motorcycles
Chief Wilson presented the background information. The contract amount is not to exceed $10,000 in
compensation. There is a 1O%Jee that is put to the auction house for the value per vehicle. There is a minimum fee
of$150 and a maximum fee of$500 per vehicle that is sold. In 2007 the Police Department auctioned 11 vehicles
for $20,360, and in 2008 year to date there have been four vehicles with a value of$2,743.00. Council member
Ferrell moved approval ofthe Agreement between Federal Way and EhliTurner Auctions to auction surplus
vehicles and motorcycles. Chair Burbidge seconded. Motion passed.
Bid award for the Federal Way Police SWAT Van
Chief Wilson presented the background information. The Police Department received four bids. The bidding
companies were asked to bid the chassis of the vehicle and the 20 foot box together. The low bid came from a Ford
Dealer in Pasco, and Trivan is the company that has done three previous project vehicles for the Department.
Council member Ferrell moved approval ofthe Agreement between Federal Way and Ehli Turner Auctions
to auction surplus vehicles and motorcycles. Chair Burbidge seconded. Motion passed.

Grant Fundinl! for Graffiti Abatement Prol!ram
Chief Wilson presented the background information. The gang and graffiti funding was approved by the State
Legislature. There were specific criteria on how that money could be used. The Washington Association of Sheriffs
and Police Chiefs (W ASPC) was asked to manage and disperse the funds for the Legislature. The City of Federal
Way Police Department asked for $10,000 to support our Graffiti Abatement Program. The grant will allow the city
to support the equipment used to remove graffiti. Council member Ferrell moved approval to accept the grant
funding under the specific terms and conditions set forth by W ASPC. Chair Burbidge seconded. Motion
passed.
Enhanced Enforcement Rel!ardin2 Danl!erous D02S
City Attorney Pat Richardson presented the background information. Ms. Richardson stated that she was seeking
Council direction if Council wants to do anything regarding dangerous dogs. There have been some concerns about
some recent incidents. Two years ago Council amended the code to ban dangerous dogs. Yakima has banned the
. breed of Pit Bulls, and this has withstood a Constitutional challenge in 1989. If Council is interested, then the legal
department staff can come back to the next meeting with more information regarding banning pit bulls. Also, as
another alternative, the city of Auburn has enhanced the licensing requirements based on breeds. Their breeds are
broader than Yakima's. They are more expensive in the licensing and they require proof of insurance and Auburn
has contracted with King County Animal Control for an Animal control Officer that services only Auburn. Auburn
has paid for their vehicle to transport the animals. They have found this to be very successfuL Council member
Ferrell asked that Ms. Richardson follow-up on receiving a media packet regarding a recent attack in the Norpointe
area. Ms. Richardson stated that Yakima's Ordinance has withstood the challenge because with their definition, the
public can identifY if the dog was a pit bull. Council member Ferrell would like a presentation from an expert in dogs
and pit bulls. Ms. Richardson suggested scheduling a study session with the Full Council - information provided at
this session would be media information, a veterinarian or a specialist on pit bulls and dogs, and information on
studies that have been conducted. They will also include Federal Way Police Department reports on actual cases
involving dog attacks, information on breeds and the cost of the various parts of Auburns program, and somebody
from King County Animal Control.

SUBJECT:
Centerstage Management Proposal
In June, Centerstage Theatre (CST) presented a proposal to the Arts Commission for
consideration of the following requests:
· Management of the operations of the Knuzten Family Theatre (KFT) for a
management fee of $75,000.
· In lieu of management of the Theatre a $50,000 annual award for the provision of
live theatrical theatre program services.
For the July meeting, the Arts Commission asked staff to provide information on the
budget and program operations of the Theatre. The Commission did not meet in August
and in September the proposal was reviewed and discussed at the Commission meeting
and the committee work plan meeting. The Commission felt that a thorough review of
the proposal was necessary to recommend to City Council a final policy decision
regarding the on-going requests by CST.
In October, the Arts Commission voted on the two requests outlined in the Management
Proposal. In consideration of CST managing the KFT there were three votes for
approval and six votes for disapproval, the motion failed.
The minutes state that the second request for a $50,000 annual award to CST for live
theatre program services failed, however, in review of the minutes the voting record
indicated that there were five votes in approval of the $50,000 award annually and four
that voted against. The motion did have enough votes to pass and the Chair of the Arts
Commission was notified. The minutes are scheduled to be amended at the November
meeting.
h-~
Following the October Commission meeting, the Chair of the Arts Commission
suggested that the city consider another option- to lower the rental costs for all local
performing groups to use the Theatre. She felt that Centerstage has a high volume of
use and this warrants a review of their current fees and would also assist them in
management of their budget.
The current theatre use agreement includes a base fee per production of $5,150 for up
to 170 hours of use. The agreement provides the theatre space, one staff member who
serves as a facility supervisor, general house lighting, heat, ventilation, and the use of
the stage, seats and elevations. The use of the sound system and stage lighting are
available at no charge, but additional fees for technical staff are assessed. Technician
fees are billed at Fourteen and No/100 Dollars ($14.00) per hour.

THE ISSUES
1. In 2007, The City of Federal Way subsidized the Knutzen Family Theatre (KFf)
in the amount of $125,000. The Theatre showed a net "surplus" of $27,000. KFr
therefore cost the taxpayers of Federal \Nay $98,000. *
2. KfT \Vas created in 1998 to hOllse ten Federal Way performing arts organizations
(see Appendix A). Only two of these organizations still use the Knutzen. Of these
two, 9th Avenue Dance (incorporating Aria Dance) is exploring the possibility of
mo\ing to the Middle School in Fife. Centerstage (CST) has been compelled by a
City-initiated change of schedule at the Knutzen to hold one third of the
performances of its 2008 Christmas Show at the Theatre On The Square in
Tacoma.
If aggressive action is not taken, the real possibility exists that in the near future
the KFTwill house no local performing arts groups.
3. It has been clear to CST for the past four years that the current business model
with the City of Federal Way does not work. In 2007 Centerstage's payments to
the City for rent of the facility and for labor required by the City, amounted to
23% of its expenditures for that year. In contrast, Seattle Public Theatre rents the
Bathhouse Theatre from the City of Seattle (for year-round occupancy) for 1.41%
of its total expenditures.
The preSSllre of these costs has resulted in Centerstage being compelled to
request emergency funding from the City Manager's Contingency Fund. This
solution is not a good one for either the City of Federal Way, or for Centerstage,
because:
(1) The City Manager has other needs and cannot be expected to continue
subsidizing CST through his contingency fund.
(2) CST cannot continue to operate at KFT when it is uncertain whether
or not the City Manager is willing or able to make these monies
available. .
'We understand that some of the items funded in the Knutzen Family Theatre budget do not relate directly to the
operations of the KFT The principles of savings to the taxpayer under our management proposal are, howe"er, still ,'alid.
whatever the REAL numher may be.
{\-lv
....
J
THE SOLUTIONS
After discussions ..vith the City Manager and others within the Department of
Parks and Recreation, two potential solutions have been suggested:
1. A Direct Grant. To increase Centerstage's funding through the Federal Way
Arts Commission to cover the costs of rental and labor at the KFT
2. Centerstage Manages the Kl:<f. That the City pays Centerstage a
Management fee to operate the KFT.
If Centerstage's own needs were the only cOTlsidemtioTl, it is clear tha,t Solution
#1 would be its preferred option. However, this solution only addresses Issue
#3 (see Page 3 above) and does not address the other two issues.
}\-1

A DIRECT GRANT
L The City of Federal Way, through the Arts Commission, would pay
Centerstage the full cost of renting the theatre and the labor costs for
technicians as required by the City. The size of this grant would be variable
each year, depending upon the number of productions (4 or 5) and the
technical requirements of individual productions. These costs would
therefore be arrived at in discussion between the City and Centerstage.
2. This grant would not compromise Centerstage's eligibility to apply for the
Contract For Services Grant through the Arts Commission, nor any Tourism
Enhancement grants.
3. We estimate that this grant would be in the range of $40,000-$45,000 per
yea r.
r\-<6
5
CENTERSTAGE MANAGES THE KFf
L The City of Federal Way pays Centerstage a Management Fee of $75,000 to
operate the KFT. This saves the City $50,000. Centerstage is saved $40,000
in rental and labor costs.
2. The $75,000 \vill be used only for operations, utilities, custodial and routine
maintenance of the facility. Any major capital expenditure would remain the
responsibility of the City, as owner of the property. None of the Management
Fee will be used for production or artistic purposes. (See Appendix B:
Proposed Budget)
3. The Management Agreement would not affect Centerstage's ability to receive
funding under Contract for Services from the Arts Commission, or grants
from the Tourism Enhancement Grant program, which are for services not
covered by the Management proposal.
4. CST will sub-contract the upkeep and operation of all KFr electrical, sound,
lighting, soft goods and space to Scottie Scenic Studios Inc. Seattle Scenic
Studios currently designs, builds and lights all CST shows. Their client list
includes Seattle Shakespeare Compony, Book-It Repertory, Bellevue Opera,
Wooden 0, Youth Theotre Northwest, React, Civic Light Opera, Spectrwn
Donce Theotre, Seattle Public Theatre, University of Washington, Civic
Light Opero, Taproot Theotre, The Village 71leotre, Langston Hughes
Center for the Performing Arts, Seattle School District, Seattle Opero Youth
Program, Historic Everett Theatre, the Seattle Seahawks...and many others.
A fee has already been agreed upon and is shown in the budget. In other
words: the City's property would be expertly maintained.
5. Although further discussion may be needed, it is proposed that Centerstage
employ the same custodial staff as the Dumas Bay Centre.
6. Regarding other uses of the Knutzen: Centerstage produces five 4-week
productions each year, which amounts to 20 weeks total. This leaves 32
weeks of revenue potential to Centerstage. Centerstage believes that with
itself as managing entity, there are many advantages. For example:
(a) Presentation - In 2008, Centerstage produced "An Evening With
Mark Twain". Although this made a profit, $1,000 of that profit had
to be returned to the City as rent. As manager of the KFT, we would
be able to retain a larger portion of presentation revenues for events
such as this, further enhancing our financial situation.
(b) Rental - Since Centerstage's overheads are much lower than the
City's, we can be much more aggressive in rental pricing of the space.
We propose that 100% of all rental fees remain with Centerstage.
(c) Children's Theatre - We would continue the programming of
children's performances such as Storybook Theatre. Fees may have to
he re-negotiated with these companies. Ho\\'en'r, only in exceptional
~-~
6
circumstances would we promote a company that does not hold the
possibility of making a profit.
(d) Summer Workshop for Youth - We support the City's program.
Further discussion is needed to establish how this would operate.
(e) Offices - Centerstage would move its offices from the Spectrum
Business Park to the Knutzen Family Theatre. Costume and other
storage would be moved to rooms already identified in previous
discussions. This "\'ould save Centerstage more than $8,000 per year.
7. All the items outlined in Paragraph 6 would secure Centerstage's financial
position. They would eliminate the need for further grant requests from the
City.
Savings on rental and tech labor
Savings on current office space
Conservative projection of revenue
From ALL other events
40,000
8,000

TOTAL FINANCLAL BENEFIT
$53,000
8. CST suggests that this agreement be entered into as a 24-month trial. A long-
term agreement can then be entered into to the satisfaction of both parties.
9. CST will present the City with a full Business Plan before a Management
agreement is signed.
~- \-0

ANALYSIS OF MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL
1. CST must, with the help of the City, accurately predict operating costs, so
that both parties agree that the management fee is appropriate.
2. Centerstage will continue to operate as prudently as it has in the past,
but now with a $53,000 shield. Some of this will be used for salary
for Centerstage's 2 employees (see Appendix B). Otherwise this funding
exists to protect Centerstage from the uncertainties of the performing
arts market, and to also protect the City from additional requests for
funding.

CONCERNS PREVIOUSLY EXPRESSED BY THE CITY OF FEDERi\L WAY
1. Is the payment of a management fee unfair to other Perfo.'ming
Arts O.'ganizations in Federal Way?
The management fee has nothing to do with arts funding. It is a fee for
non-artistic services, none of which any other performing arts
organization in Federal Way performs.
2, Will CST co-operate with other groups who use the KFT?
Centerstage has demonstrated over the past three years that it is co-
operative to a fault with the only other local arts organization who uses
the KIT. We refer you to the scheduling performances of Christmas
shows, where Centerstage has accommodated all 9th Avenues needs.
3. Is CST competent to manage the Knutzen Family Theatre?
(a) CST has dramaticalllj increased its annual revenues from $107,000
in 2003 to $199,000 in 2007. Sources:
*lmproved Box Office Revenues
*New funding from major funding organizations (See Appendix D)
*Personal gifts increased from $9,000 in 2003 to $26,000 in 2007
*More effective fundraising events
* Assistance from City Manager's Contingency Fund
(b) Managing Artistic Director, AJan Bryce has spent a career in the
Theatre. Here are some resume points:
* Artistic Director, Overground Theatre, London. 8 years.
*Development Director, Proctor's Theatre, Schenectady NY. 8 yrs
* Artistic Director, Proctor's Too (Second Performance Space) 3yrs
*Theatre Consultant, John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts, Washington DC 2 years
*Executive Director, Landers Theatre, Springfield, Missouri. 3 yrs
* Author of several plays produced in over 40 theatres in Great
Britain and the United States.
*Has appeared as an actor in theatres throughout Great Britain,
and on TV and Hollywood movies.
(c) CST has entered into an Intern arrangement with DeVryUniversih),
designed to enhance its marketing effectiveness. Starting in July
2008, DeVry interns will be working on website design and
maintenance; group sales; research of media outlets.
(d) Seattle Scenic Studios are Seattle's premier nonprofit technical
theatre support organization and bring a wide range of experienced
personnel.
(e) Board q{Trllstees. CSTs Board is a highly-competent group

An Advisory Board has also been created to assist \vith community profile
and fundraising. This Board has already raised money for a special project
III 2009.
(f) Artistic Accomplishment. CST has produced exceptional work on a
very modest budget. Among many accomplishments in the last 4 years,
CST has:
*Employed Martin Charnin, creator of Annie on Broadway
*Employed John Forster, s-time Grammy Nominee
*Employed Karen Archer of the Royal Shakespeare Company
*Employed Dawn Clement, pianist who has played Carnegie Hall
*Employed Peter Sipos, European Composer of the Year
*Has received "Best Season of any theatre in the Region" from The
Volcano (Tacoma's Arts newspaper)
* Artistic Director received "Best Director" Award 2007 from
Tacoma News Tribune
*Blue Plate Special received "Best Comic Actor" Award 2006, from
Tacoma News Tribune
*For each of the past three years, CST has been voted "Best
Community Arts Organization" by the readers of the Federal Way
Mirror.
*The Federal Way News wrote: "Mark my words: in time, the
current era at CST will be viewed in the regional, if not national,
theatrical \"'orld as a golden age of creatin' adventure"

4. Will CST Staff cooperate with Dumas Bay Centre Staff?
CST has nevcr fully understood this objection, since it has never been
discussed, simply asselted.
CST firmly believes that by re-establishing the nature of the relationship
between City and Theatre, the current tensions (with KFT staff, not with
Dumas Bav Centre StafD would be eliminated. A<; it stands, CST
employees and volunteers have excellent relationships v,1th Dumas Bay
Centre Staff. Day-to-day practicalities would have to be discussed, and
will be easily resolved.
4. Is CST strong enough?
CST is strong in every respect but one. The significant weakness is our
business relationship "\1th the City. It is that relationship that this
proposal addresses. CST has never in its 30 years operated under a deficit.
5. Will CST's operation of the KIT safeguard the mission and
vision of the KFf?
CST produces twice as many performances each year than all the other
performing arts organizations in Federal Way combined, including the
KFT itself. Its advertising expenditure in promoting the Knutzen is more
than ten times larger than the city's marketing budget for the KFf. Under
the City, eight performing arts organizations have left the KIT, and both
CST and 9th Avenue Dance have actively explored other options.
We believe, therefore, that CST already safeguards KFT mission and
\1sion more aggressively than the City. It is our contention that the City
has itself failcd to safeguard the mission and vision of the KFT.
CST offers no guarantees, but we believe that this proposal provides the
template for a far more successful safeguarding of KIT mission and
VISion.

APPENDIX E
PRECEDENT IN OUR REGION FOR NONPROFIT ARTS ORGANIZATIONS
MANAGING A CITY-OWNED FACILITY
Although our proposal is specific, there is no template which both parties
must agree to. There are many options.
To explore some options, CST met ,,\lith representatives of The Village Theatre and
Kirkland Performance Center.
The Village Theatre receives a management fee from the City of Everett to operate the
Everett Performing Arts Center.
The Kirkland Performance Center is used, rent-free, by a nonprofit corporation in a
facility owned by the City of Kirkland.
We have outlined below sketches of the agreements both these non profits have with the
local City. These notes are intended as a reference, which offer other options for Federal
Way and CST to explore.

Sherrill Dryden, Manager, Everett Performing Arts Center: (425) 257-6363
wW\N.ci.everett. wa. us
The Village Theatre produces shows in Issaquah and then moves them to Everett. In the
City of Everett's budget for 2005, the City described the project as providing:
*quality performing arts events for Everett citizens
*a home for indigenous needs: artistic, business, educational
*a destination attraction, generating a flow of dollars
*flagship professional arts to citizens of Snohomish County
The expected results \;vere:
*enhancement of the quality of life for Everett citizens
*facility rentals
*a full season of Main Stage productions
"provision of children's programming
*The Village Theatre guarantees Everett a certain number of
performances per year.
*The City of Everett has an M&O line item in its budget of
$290,000 (how that is exactly broken down was not shared
\Nith us.)
*By happenstance, rather than by planning, some of the
technical equipment is owned by the City and some by
the Village Theatre.
*The Village theatre maintains the facility.
*However, the City is responsible for maintenance and custodial costs
*Sherrill Dryden, the local manager liaises \;\ith the City of
Everett, but is an employee of the Village Theatre (as are all
theatre stafO.
*Theatre supervises all rentals, bears, and is reimbursed for,
all labor costs, but rental fees go to City of Everett.
Sherrill Dryden said to us that this arrangement: "makes financial sense for the City of
Everett" .

Kirkland Performance Center
*Contad: Steve Lerian, Executive Director, KirlJand Performance Center
(425) 828-0422. www.kpcenter.org
Dave Ramsay, Manager, City of Kirkland, (425) 587-3001
vvw\v.ci. kirkland. wa. us
*The Kirkland performance center has three lO-year leases with the City of Kirkland. It
was opened in 1997.
*The City provided the nonprofit corporation \vith the services of a Business Consultant
to draw up a viable business plan.
*No rent is paid to the City. Hmvever, the Kirkland Performance Center raised $4 million
of the $5.7 million required to build the facility. Steve Lerian characterized this as "rent
in advance". (This is comparable to, but very different from, the arrangement at the
Knutzen, where $400,000 was raised through private fundraising -in which CST
was intimately involved - and $2 million provided by The City of Federal Way to meet
the cost of converting the convent chapel into a theatre).
*The nonprofit corporation has full authority over the uses of the building, except for 7
days annually which the City may use for its own purposes. The nonprofit corporation is
reimbursed .for labor costs for any such uses.
*The City othen"ise has no programming input.
*The City of KirkJand levies an Admissions Tax on all performance admissions in the
City. These taxes are re-granted to the nonprofit corporation (at about $40,000 per
year). The City further grants $50,000, which is used mostly for maintenance and
upkeep.
*The City is responsible for HV AC, elevators, exterior landscaping and the fabric of the
building. The nonprofit corporation is responsible for everything else, including
plumbing, maintenance, utilities, sound and lighting.
*If the nonprofit corporation fails, the City of Kirkland inherits everything, including all
stage and related equipment.

Proposed
Contract
Under the proposed contract, the City would pay $75.000 to
Centerstage The $33,000 indirect costs will not be charged
to Centerstage but will be picked up by Ihe General Fund.
Management Fee
75.000
Because a great portion of the indirect costs are directly
related to personnel. the CIty can only reduce these costs
if we layoff employees This would be difficult to do
because Ihese costs are marginal. Other indirect costs will
not go away because they are shared costs and would
need to be transferred to other departments. Capital cost
also will not go away SInce the City will continue to maintain
the facility.

Because a great portion of Ihe indirect costs are directly
related 10 personnel, the City can only reduce these costs
if we layoff employees. This would be difficult to do
because these costs are marginal. Olher indirect costs will
not go away because they are shared cosls and would
need 10 be transferred to olher departments. Capital cost
also will nol go away since the City will continue 10 maintain
the facility.

Human Services Commission Recommendations for the 2009-2010 Human
Services General Fund
On Monday, September 29,2008, the Commission held a public hearing. Both written and
verbal comments were received from some of the agencies who have requested funding via an
application process for the 2009-2010 Human Services General Funds.
The Human Services Commission provided all of the agencies being considered for funding a
preliminary funding decision prior to the public hearing. After the comments were received, the
Commission deliberated. A motion was received by the Commission chair to present the funding
recommendations to the City Council via the Parks and Recreation, Human Services and Public
Safety (PRHS&PS) Council Committee on October 14, 2008. The spreadsheet is attached.
Backt?,round
The common application process in which Federal Way joined with other South King County
Cities began in March, 2008. Federal Way staff participated in the Funders Forum where the
agencies were invited to discuss with staff from the represented cities questions or comments
regarding the ftUlding process. Agency turn out was mixed with new applicants and returning
applicants.
The City Of Federal Way received 61 applications from approximately 35 agencies located
throughout King County that serve Federal Way residents. The sum of Human Services General
Funds requested totaled $1,050,145. This was an increase from 2007-2008 total request of
$957,668. Year after year Human Service agencies see an increase in requested services and this
year the city received a few new agency/program requests.
The Human Services Commission's Ad Hoc Committees reviewed all 61 applications during
their 4 sessions. The Ad Hoc Committees saw at least two Commissioners participate along with
staff. At these meetings questions regarding some of applications were identified which raised
further questions. Additional questions were sent to the applicants if their application was not
clear or essential information was missing. All requests for additional information were received
and were considered by the full Commission.
The Human Services Commission held special business meetings in July, August and September
to review the applications and consider staff's recommendation for funding. A straw poll was
C-Z-
. ,
conducted by the chair as to each application to determine whether to consider the application for
funding or eliminate the application from consideration. This was done based on multiple factors
,
from the Ad Hoc committee's reviews, the additional questions and responses by the agency and
the agency's past contractual performances.
Human Services General Fund Demo2raphics
The estimated funds available for the 2009/2010 Human Services General Fund total $430,000.
If the City Council approves the request to hold the estimated funding at the 2007-2008 level for
the Human Service General Fund grant program, then the Human Services Commission
recommendations are appropriate to be forwarded through the Council Committed for
consideration as recommended. However, should the City Council reduce the over all estimated
budget of $430,000, the percentage of the decrease will be equitability distributed among all
recommended applications. In other words, without eliminating a program the shortfall will be
equally dispersed.
Four applications were not considered for funding due to being incomplete or late submission.
It is recommended that 37 applications be funded which is approximately 60% of the
applications received (61 applications). Four additional applications are recommended for
funding through a one-time funding contingency plan. The second contingency plan is the place
holder for one agency listed to receive the United Way/Human Services employee pledges and
collections during the 2008 campaign for 2009.
City's Human Services Strate2ies
The Human Services Strategies are outlined in the Housing and Human Services Consolidated
Plan (attached) and are the basis for decision making and recommendations for funding the

Proposed Staff Recommendations:
,
Based on the anticipation that the estimated funds'will be available for the budget cycle of 2009-
20 I 0, staff assisted in the development of the attached funding recommendations using the
following criteria:
1. Addressed the City's Human Services Strategy as outlined in the Housing and Human
Services Consolidated Plan.
2. Allocated a minimum of37% of the Human Services General Fund budget to support the
basic/emergency needs in Federal Way. In April 1998 the City Council established a
policy to assure the residents of Federal Way that a portion of the budget will be allocated
to support basic/emergency needs.
3. The culmination of the Ad Hoc Committee Meetings, Agency's documentation and the
overall straw poll from the full Human Services Commission.
In addition to the recommendations, staff recommended contingency plans to include the $33,000
that could be carried forward from the 2007-2008 budget cycle. The Capacity Building
Partnership Program will not have spent its allotted dollars by end of year 2008. Contingency
Plan I will utilize a reserve of approximately $33,000 to fund 4 additional programs. Seeing the
need for continued support for the needed services in Federal Way, staff suggested the following
agencies be considered for contingency funding should the Commission have the ability to secure
the one-time funding. The Commission approved the recommendation.
The following agencies are considered for Contingency Plan I funding:
· My Service Mind - Ethnic Senior Services - Goal I
· Jewish Family Center - Refugee & Immigrant Services - Goal I
· Emergency Feeding Program - Emergency Feeding Program - Goal 1
· HOME/REACH OUT - Homeless shelter for single men - Goal I
The Contingency Plan 2 allocates pending pledges and fundraising monies from the 2008 United
WaylHuman Services giving campaign. The Commission felt strongly about allocating all the
funding from the fund raiser to the Boys and Girls Club in Federal Way.
Conclusion
The attached 2009-2010 Human Services General Fund recommendation is a result of a
comprehensive assessment process which the Human Services Commission undertook over the
past several months. Staff is assured that the process was wholesome and although strenuous at
times was very productive. All agencies presented compelling documentation to support their
programs and needs; the decisions were made based on a culmination of several factors. In the
end the funds have been equability divided as follows:
· Family Needs/Services (food, clothing and shelter) $134,000 (31 %)
· Self Sufficiency (literacy, mental and physical health care) $104,000 (24%)
· Community Protection $90,000 (21 %)
· Youth Services $63,000 (15%)
· Senior Services $39,000 (9%)

service programs, include donated funds, in-kind donations, foundation grants, and the

Strategies
The. following strategies flow from the needs analysis and reflect the input of citizens and
agencies that were consulted through interviews and 'communityforutns. They have
been developed to guide fund allocation decisions so that locally identified priority needs
are addressed, within the context of the national COBG program objectives for improving
the lives of low- and moderate-income people. Those objectives direct that GOBG funds
be used to provide:
· Decent Housing
(Achieved through strategies such as assisting homeless persons obtain affordable
housing; assisting persons.at risk of beComing homeless; increasing the supply of
supportive housing for those with'. special needs; housing repair, increasing the
supply of affordable permanent housing) ,
· A Suitabl~ Living Environment
(Achieved through strategies such as improving the safety and livability of
neighborhoods; increasing access to quality public and private facilities and services;
and energy conservation.)
· Expanded Economic Opportunities
(Achieved through slich strategies as job creation and retention; assistance to small
busineSSeS (including micro-businesses); the provision of public services concerned
with employment; availability of mortgagefinaricing for low-income persons at
reasonable rates using non-discriminatory lending practices; self-sufficiency for low-
income persons through housing and service assistance.)
Housing Strategies
Low-income residents of Federal Way experience a wide range of housing needs from
homelessness to the inability to purchase a first home. The health of the community, in
part, relies on the availability of a range of housing choices from emergency shelter and
transitional housing to affordable permanentrenfulhousing and homeownership.
Thtoughpolicy, regulation, and funding, the City is committed to supportinglhis
continuum for all its citizens, but particularly for those with limited resources or special
needs. The strategies, targets, and activities listed below provide the framework through
which the City will realize that commitment.

Human Services Strategies
Human service needs exist across a broad range of low-income and special needs
populations. The needs of people who are homeless are particularly acute, since
without intervention through service programs they are not likely to find or maintain
housing. For many low-income families the burden of increasing housing costs severely
limits their ability to take care of their other basic needs. The City has long recognized
its critical role in sustaining the. human services delivery system. In addition to the
allocation of COSG funds for human services,. the City has also allocated general
revenues for this purpose. The following strategies will guide the investment of these
resources.
GOAL - Address human services needs by supporting service models that
encourage self-sufficiency, empower families, enhance the quality of life, and help
build strong communities6.
Strategy

income people.
· Strengthen the inter-agency referral system by encouraging funded agencies/to link
clients with other appropriate service providers.
· Work with other jurisdictions and human services agencies to maintain and/or
increase funding available to meet basic needs.

to increase self-sufficiency and independence) and Goal 4 (Support service models that improve
community-based collaborations and build strong neighborhoods) of the 1999 Human Services
Comprehensive Plan that is being updated by the Housing and Human Services Consolidated Plan.

City of Federal Way
From:
Barry Turnbull
Worker for Operation Blessing
Community of Christ St. Luke's
Federal Way, WA
Dear Council,
It has been brought to my attention that the city is planning on dropping the
financial support for the Emergency Feeding Program of Seattle & King
County in the years 2009-10. Operation Blessing uses these services to help the
poor and oppressed people in our area.' We serve hundreds of people in various
ways and provide food for families. This organization helps us give the patrons of
Federal Way a support when they really need it.
Operation Blessing has been very active in this emergency help and it is only on
that basis that we operate. If we do not receive food from Emergency Feeding
Program of Seattle & King County we will loose one element of our program
that is worthy of its cause. If you could see the lineup of clients at our front door
before it opens you would be amazed at how many people we help. This year we
have reached our receiving numbers in September that has risen more than
previous years. The financial picture is getting bleaker and bleaker. This makes it
harder on us because we had to cut back on the amount of funds we could give
to each client. If the food program is eliminated it would take from the program.
This is a list of how we help people:
Provide monies for help with Electric, Rent and other emergency purposes.
Help place homeless people into homes for safety.
Gas vouchers to aid in getting to work or for applications for employment.
The very most important aspect is that we pray with them in this time of need and
hope the Grace of God will helpl them.
Please consider our request and keep the program going.
Sincerely,
Barry Turnbull

Dear Human service committee:

Dear Human Services Commission Members:
For over 12 years My Service Mind of Federal Way has been working
closely with the community to provide services to a diverse group of
disadvantaged, low-income and ethnic residents in the Puget Sound region.
MSM has recently partnered with the Evergreen Senior Club to provide important
case management and human services that will help these clients conquer the
social, language. and economic barriers that often plague this growing
demographic.
Although MSM does receive funding through King County as well as
through community donations, the funding provided by the City of Federal Way's
Human Services Commission is crucial to support their mission of caring for
elderly and minority populations in Federal Way. Last year, MSM served 216 low
income clients who were in desperate need of the services this organization
provides. Please reconsider the Ethnic Senior Services proposal to assist MSM.
the Evergreen Club, and to better address the needs of this vulnerable
populatio

Ms. Lynette Hynden, Human Services Manager
City of Federal Way Human Services Commission
33325 8th Ave. 5_
Federal Way, WA 98063-9718
To Members of the Human Services Commission:
I am writing today in support of a proposal being presented to you by the Evergreen Senior Club
and My Service Mind. As you know, these are organizations that have been serving our community for
over 10 long and dedicated years. Together they have provided a much needed connection between
the diverse and growing ethnic population here and those of us that serve the community.
The challenges facing our ever increasing senior population, particularly minority elders, are well
documented. Seniors, in general, often face numerous obstacles due to very low fixed incomes,
transportation and health issues. And ethnic seniors must overcome even greater hurdles due to
language and cultural barriers. Too often, many Jose their sense of independence and are left helpless
in their struggle for day to day life. Not surprisingly, Federal Way, as it so often does, mirrors the
challenges faced by other communities in providing necessary services in this critical area.
The proposed Ethnic Senior Services plan addresses the needs of these individuals. Through a
comprehensive case management approach it helps provide access to DSHS services; Basic Health,
Medicare, or Medicaid and mental health providers; referrals to food banks and other meal services; bill
counseling; housing assistance, public transportation guidance and assistance with immigration and
naturalization services. It is the type of collaborative approach that has often proved successful in other
areas.
Needless to say, I am certainly very appreciative of the budget challenges you face as you decide
how to allocate scarce resources to meet the extraordinarily important goals of the commission. My
thanks in advance for your consideration of this creative and thoughtful initiative.

INTERlOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
MUNICIPALITIES OF AUBURN, BEAUX ARTS VilLAGE, BONNEY
lAKE, BURIEN, COVINGTON, DES MOINES, FEDERAL WAY,
KENT, MAPLE VALLEY, NEWCASTLE, PACIFIC, RENTON,
SEATAC, SUMNER, TUKWILA, AND THE MUCKLESHOOT
RESERVATION, THE KING COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THE
PORT OF SEATTLE, AND THE KING COUNTY PROSECUTOR'S
OFFICE FOR CREATION OF THE
PATROL AUTO THEFT TASK FORCE
I. PARTIES
The parties to this Agreement are the King County Sheriff's Office, the Port of
Seattle, the King County Prosecutor's Office, the Muckleshoot Reservation, and
the municipalities of Auburn, Beaux Arts Village, Bonney Lake, Burien,
Covington, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Maple Valley, Newcastle, Pacific,
Renton, SeaTac, Sumner, and Tukwila, each of which is a municipal corporation
I operating under the laws of the State of Washington.
II. AUTHORITY
This Agreement is entered into pursuant to Chapters 10.93, 39.34, and 53.08 of
the Revised Code of Washington.
III. PURPOSE
The parties hereto desire to establish and maintain a multi-jurisdictional team to
effectively investigate and enforce the laws relating to auto theft.
IV. FORMATION
There is hereby created a multi-jurisdictional team to be hereafter known as the
"PATROL Task Force", the members of which are named above (I. Parties). The
future admission or elimination of a jurisdiction as a member of the Task Force
may be accomplished by an addendum to this agreement.
V. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
King County and the municipalities within the Puget Sound area have
experienced an increase in urbanization and population densities. The increase
F5
in urbanization and population within the area has resulted in an increase in
crime associated with auto theft. The ability to address auto theft and the crimes
associated with it has stretched the resources of individual police department
investigative units.
Law enforcement efforts directed at dealing with auto theft issues have, for the
most part, been conducted by law enforcement agencies working independently.
A multi-jurisdictional effort to handle specific and complicated auto theft
investigations will result in more effective pooling of personnel, improved
utilization of funds, reduced duplication of equipment, improved training, and
development of specialized expertise, improved information sharing and
increased utilization/application of a combined auto theft task force. The results
will improve services for all of the Agencies, increase safety for the community,
and improve auto theft prosecution.
VI. TEAM OBJECTIVES
The assigned personnel from each Agency will form a combined investigation
task force that serves each of the Agencies' service areas. The PATROL Task
Force may also be available to outside law enforcement agencies as provided by
laws relating to mutual aid.
The objective of the PATROL Task Force shall be to provide enhanced and more
efficient use of personnel, equipment, budgeted funds, and training. The Task
Force shall respond as able and as approved by the Supervisor or Commander
when requested by any of the Agencies.
VII. DURATION AND TERMINATION
The minimum term of this Agreement shall be one (1) year, effective upon its
adoption and pursuant to the grant period. This Agreement shall automatically
extend for consecutive one (1) year terms with reapplication and approval of the
Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority (WAPTA) grant process.
A jurisdiction may withdraw its participation in the Task Force by providing written
notice of its withdrawal, and serving such notice upon each Executive Board
member of the remaining jurisdictions. A notice of withdrawal shall become
effective ninety (90) days after service of the notice on all participating members.
The Task Force may be terminated by a majority vote of the Executive Board.
Any vote for termination shall occur only when the police chief of each
participating jurisdiction is present at the meeting in which such vote is taken.
VIII. GOVERNANCE
The affairs of the Task Force shall be governed by an Executive Board ("Board"),
whose members are composed of the police chief, or his/her designee, from
F-~
each participating jurisdiction. Each member of the Board shall have an equal
vote and voice on all Board decisions. All Board decisions shall be made by a
majority vote of the Board members, or their designees, appearing at the meeting
in which the decision is made. A majority of Board members, or their designees,
must be present at each meeting for any actions taken to be valid. A presiding
officer shall be elected by the Board together with such other officers as a
majority of the Board may decide.
The Board shall meet monthly, unless otherwise determined by the Board. The
presiding officer, or any Board member, may call extra meetings as deemed
appropriate. The presiding officer shall provide no less than forty-eight (48)
hours notice of all meetings to all members of the Board; PROVIDED, however,
that in emergency situations, the presiding officer may conduct a telephonic
meeting or a poll of individual Board members to resolve any issues related to
such emergency.
The Task Force written policies, regulations, and operational procedures shall
apply to all operations. Thus, to the extent that the written policies, regulations,
and operational procedures of the Task Force conflict with the policies,
regulations, and operational procedures of the individual jurisdictions, the Task
Force written policies, regulations, and procedures shall prevail.
IX. STAFF
Upon establishment of this agreement, the following staff shall serve at the
pleasure of the Board; provided that the Board may, by majority vote, change,
eliminate or add staff positions as deemed appropriate. A staff member of the
Task Force may be removed from his or her position for any reason by majority

SUBJECT: King County Regional 800 MHZ Radio System - Poor Radio Signal Coverage in
Federal Way - Westside Sector I
Back2,round'
This report is inform the Council of the on-going effort by the city staff, Police and Information
Technology Department and other government and non-government agencies to address the
inadequate radio signal level in portion of the City (Westside - Sector I) to include the City of
Des Moines.
Since the inception of the Police Department, we have experienced poor radio reception and
transmission by officers working in the field. Throughout the years, officers complained of areas
within the city in which they could not effectively communicate with the Valley Communication
Center (dispatch center) or with fellow officers. The primary geographical location where the
officers have experienced problems has been on the Westside of the city and at Decatur High
School where a School Resource Officer is assigned on a full-time basis.
In early 2005, the Police Department worked cooperatively with King County
Telecommunications Service Division and Valley Communication Center to find an acceptable
solution to the problem. This initiative was launched after a School Resource Officer John Stray
was involved in a physical altercation with an out of control student. The officer was unable to
radio for assistance and was ultimately able to reach his supervisor via Nextel phone, summoning
other officers to the scene.
The Federal Way Police Department was informed by Valley Communication Center and King
County Telecommunications that the King County Regional Radio System was working as
designed, meeting the coverage at street level design criteria. It was also recommended that
different radio antennas (e.g., dipole style antenna), service of the portables and unrealistic
operational changes as a remedy to improve the performance of the radio system. The
implementation of the technological changes by our officers made no noticeable difference and
the remedies failed to address the on-going safety concerns by our officers working in the field.
The Police Department was informed that the King County Regional 800 MHZ Radio System
was working as designed and no feasible options existed to fix the system in Sector I or at the
Decatur High School.
G-\
I
In 2007 and 2008, several incidents occurred again that raised serious public and officer safety
concerns. In a tactical operation, Commanders Kyle Sumpter and Stan McCall complained of a
poor radio signal in the Twin Lakes Neighborhood, south of Decatur High School, significantly
hampering the communication of the officers involved (e.g., officers could see each other but
could not communicate with the portable radios). In a separate incident, Officer Keith Pon was
involved in a vehicle pursuit when the Valley Communication Center and other officers briefly
lost radio contact with the officer while he was driving in the vicinity of S. W. Dash Point Road.
The department also received complaints from officers during patrol briefing sessions about the
inadequate radio signal level.
On September 20,2007, a critical incident occurred at the Decatur High School that prompted
the Police Department to work with many of the same stakeholders again to explorer the radio
signal levels to include Decatur High School. A School Resource Officer Stacy Eckert at
Decatur High School was involved in a violent struggle with a student suspect. Officer
attempted to activate the "Emergency" Panic Button and to communicate on the portable radio
failed. The officer was unable to use other means, i.e. cell phone to call for help. Fortunately,
school staff heard the violent struggle and dialed 91 I, prompting a significant police response.
Officer Eckert sustained minor injuries and the suspect was controlled with the assistance of
other officers.
As result of this incident, Chief Brian Wilson directed that a second officer, John Stray, be
assigned at the school until a solution could be found to enhance the radio system, This
commitment highlights the officer safety and safety of the students and staff at the school as
result of the limited or no coverage of the 800 MHZ radios signal and Nextel system. The
reallocation of the second officer placed a strain on the School Resource Officer Program,
creating an urgency to find a quick solution to the problem.
Since September 2007, numerous meetings and communication has taken place with the
stakeholders to identify potential solutions to the non-existent radio signal at the Decatur High
School and pockets in the city - Westside Sector 1. The stakeholders included: City of Federal
Way Police and Information Technology Department, King County Telecommunications Service
Department, Valley Communication Center, Federal Way Public Schools, South King Fire and
Rescue, Sprint Nextel Corporation and Adcomm Engineering Company.
Several solutions were identified and the most viable option at the Decatur High School was to
install a Bi-Directional Amplifier (BOA). Engineering and installation of the BOA system by
Sprint Nextel Corporation was the most viable technical fix to the poor radio signal and Nextel
reception at Decatur High School. The City of Federal Way, Federal Way Public Schools and
Sprint Nextel actively negotiated a three-way discussion and a contract was signed by the City
and the Sprint Nextel to install a BDA system. In May 2008, Sprint Nextel completed the
installation and the Nextel phones immediately worked flawlessly and the 800 MHZ radio
system worked sufficiently throughout the school to release the second officer at the school.
To address the poor radio signal coverage in Federal Way and Des Moines, King County
L.- ?-
2
Telecommunication agreed to consult with Adcomm Engineering Company to get more detailed
analysis than what has been done to date in terms of proposed solutions and feasibility. After the
study was completed, the King County Telecommunications Service Manager David Mendel has
acknowledged that there is not adequate signal level in the portions of Federal Way - Westside
Sector 1 and Des Moines to support the level of communications of the Federal Way Police
Department and South King Fire and Rescue staff, especially for portable usage.
This is significant in that this was the first time the King County Telecommunications has
acknowledged the existing radio signal level is inadequate in Federal Way. It should be noted
that the problem is exacerbated by vehicle system and portable maintenance issues impacting
performance degradation. This issue is being addressed by our staff; however, the service
maintenance is not adequate to bring the low radio signal to an acceptable level. In the best of
conditions, small pockets of Westside - Sector 1 are intennittent at best much of the time.
King County Telecommunications Service Manager David Mendel will be presenting to King
County Officials about the radio problem in Federal Way and Des Moines with several
recommendations. To increase the signal to an adequate level, Manager Mendel believes that a
new radio tower needs to be built in Federal Way, even though it is the most expensive option.
The price tag for a new tower is estimated between $1.5 and $1.85 million with an estimated
time of 12- I 8 months should funds become available. Manager Mendel is not very optimistic
with the currently financial situation of the county that he will be able to secure funding to
construct a new tower.
On September 15, 2008, Manager Mendel briefed the group that he has been directed to perform
detailed engineering analysis of all weak signal areas within the county to determine what
options exist for mitigation. There has been four studies completed to date confirming the
problem in Federal Way and additional study countywide will significantly delay addressing the
issue for our staff and the community. Representative from the Federal Way Police Department
and the South King County Fire and Rescue voiced our concerns about this approach. The group
also provided suggestion to Manager Mendel to use the existing radio tower at the 15t Ave Fire
Station which would bring substantial savings versus finding a site and building a new tower at a
price tag of $1.5M - $2M. In addition, other less costly options are available to potential repair
the problem (see attached Adcomm Engineering report).
The King County Regional Radio System when constructed did not provide adequate radio signal
level to portion of Federal Way and Des Moines, resulting in inability of police officers and fire
fighters to communicate effectively with the dispatch center and with each other. The work is
just beginning for the Next Generation Radio System and it maybe 6 to 10 years or longer before
the system is in place in King County, We have been assured that the new system will be
properly designed and engineered to avoid similar situation such as the current King County
Regional Radio System. However, the current radio system radio signal level posses a risk to the
public and first responders' safety and the system should be repaired or modified to meet the
needs of the users.

Recommendation
The Pollce Department is seeking the support of the Council to communicate with King County
officials and Regional Communication Board on the importance of repairing the inadequate radio
signal level in Federal Way. King County Regional Communication Board should take
affirmative steps to fix the problem as it relates directly to the operation of the police and fire
services and the safety of the public and first responders. The South King Fire and Rescue will
also seek support and approval of the Fire Commissioners so that both agencies can speak as one
voice, stressing the importance of repairing the current King County Regional Radio System.

Subject: Radio Coverage in Portions of the Federal Way Area - DRAFT VERSION
Users of the King County Regional Trunked Radio System have complained of poor radio
coverage and poor audio in portions of the City of Federal Way area. My initial review of this
problem was discussed in a memo written in May 2005. That memo should be reviewed to
provide additional information and background to my comments that follow. After the memo was
written, additional information was requested regarding signa/levels from the Cambridge(CA),
Federal Way(FW), and View Park(VP) radio sites in order to evaluate the sites that were
providing the primary RF signal into the greater Federa/ Way area.
The following information was evaluated:
1. A map from Federal Way showing the areas that are considered "800 MHz Radio
Dead Signal Areas" dated September 27,2007.
2. STI drive test data from a file dated October 15, 2007
A review of the drive test data showed:
1. The signal levels in the lower Dash Point Road area are primarily coming from
Cambridge and View Park at the -90 to -100 dBm level. This area should have
acceptable mobile coverage but portable-on-the-hip coverage is likely poor in much
of this area and in-building coverage is expected to be poor i n this area also.
2. The area west of 1 st Avenue South and north of approxi mately SW 336th Street
generally has signal levels of -90 to -100 dBm. As mentioned above, this area should
have adequate mobile coverage but portab/e-on-the-hip coverage is likely poor in
much of this area and in-building coverage is expected to be poor.
3. Previous subjective listening drive testing mentioned there is a significant amount of
mobile flutter in the area of SW 320th Street west of 1st Avenue South. The drive
testing data shows the signal level s from the View Park, Cambridge, and Federal
3929 184th Place SE

Way sites is likely within 10 dB or less of each other. This relatively close signal
strength from the three sites is likely exacerbating the "simulcast multipath" that
causes the mobile flutter (popping sounds in the audio) throughout much of the area.
This data reinforces the information previously obtained and the previous conclusions. They
are:
1. This area meets the requirements outlined in the original system design specification
of coverage for a portable radio on the street held at head height. This specification
goes back to approximately 1992 when there was much less use of portable radios
and portable radios with remote speaker-mics.
2. The signal levels are not adequate for current user expectations where portable
radios with remote speaker-mics are routinely used.
3. In general, the signal levels are not adequate for in-building coverage except in
cases where the building signal attenuation is small and the signal levels are on the
higher side.
Unfortunately, the terrain in the affected area has a significant effect on how signals are
propagated throughout this area. Interestingly, the site that has some of the highest signal
levels in this area is the Cambridge site. This is because the site is not too far away and the
terrain drops away heading west, so much of the signal path is unobstructed. View Park
appears to be somewhat terrain blocked along the southwest shor eline by the Vashon Island
and the relatively high terrain along the southeast edge of Maur y Island.
Possible solutions to the cover age problems in this area are:
1. Build another si mulcast site in a location that would provide significantly im proved
coverage throughout the Federal Way area. Possible locations would be on Vashon
Island or in the Federal Way area. Because of the terrain in the affected area, some
tradeoffs will need to be made. For example, placing a site in the Federal Way area
will improve the signal levels in the built up areas north of approximately SW 3401ll
Street and west of 151 Avenue South but will provide less signal improvement along
the shoreline. Placing a site on Vashon Isl and would significantly improved shoreline
coverage but have less of an effect south of SW 320 III Street. This option would not
require additional frequencies but is the highest cost option. The fu" set of trunking
features (e.g., multiple channels, multiple talkgroups, EMER button operation, etc.)
would be availabl e with this option.
Estimated time to deploy is 12-18 months depending on site choices and
permitting issues.
Estimated equipment cost: $1,500,000.
Estimated site cost: $50,000 to $350,000 depending on location.
2. Move the View Park site to a location on Vashon Island that would pr ovide better
coverage along the mainland shoreline. Moving the site to Vashon Island could
significantly improve the coverage along the shor eline since the terrain blockage
caused by Vashon Island and Maury Island would be eliminated. This assumes, of
course, that a suitable location could be found. This option would not require
additional frequencies and woul d reuse existing equipment resulting in a less
expensive option than a new site. However, moving the View Park site could result in
significant losses in coverage on Vashon Island especiall y to the west half of the
island. The full set of trunking features (e.g., multiple channels. multiple talkgroups,
EMER button operation, etc.) would be available with this option.

Estimated time to deploy is 12-18 months depending on site choices and
permitting issues.
Estimated equipment cost: $200,000 (depends on connectivity).
Estimated site cost: $50,000 to $350,000 depending on location.
3. Install an Intelli-Repeater(/R) site to provide coverage in localized areas much like
EPSCA doing at Coal Creek and considering at Canyon Park. This option, while
probably less expensive than option 1 and would not result in the reduced coverage
changes of option 2, requires additional frequencies or reusing existing frequencies.
Given the relatively large area to cover, finding frequencies could be a problem
unless a relatively low power site was used with highly directional antennas. The full
set of trunking features (e.g., multiple channels, multiple talkgroups, EMER button
operation, etc.) would be available with this option.
Estimated time to deploy is 12-18 months depending on site choices and
permitting issues.
Estimated equipment cost: $450,000 (depends on connectivity).
Estimated site cost: $50,000 to $350,000 depending on location.
4. Using Bi-Directional Amplifier (BOA) systems to treat specific buildings where regular
communications is required can resolve specific problems but does not provide an
overall solution for a wide area. Depending on the si ze of the buildings and other
technical issues that need to be res olved, the cost for several systems can equal the
cost of a site. However, the BOA systems use existing frequencies so finding
frequencies should not be a probl em. The full set of trunking features (e.g., multiple
channels, multiple talkgroups, EMER button operation, etc.) would be available with
this option.
Estimated time to deploy is 2-6 months depend ing on building construction
and any lease agreements required.
Estimated cost: $20,000 to $100,000 depending on the size of the buildi ng
and building construction.
5. Using a vehicular repeater system such as the FutureCom unit can provide improved
coverage installed either as a fixed unit used instead of a BOA or installed in
vehicles. Vehicular repeater systems have been around since the early 1970's and
while they have improved, there are significant operational issues that can arise with
their use in an urban setting where multiple vehicular repeaters may be operating in
the same or nearby vicinities. These units are usually less expensive than a BOA
system for in-building coverage but have a limited number of channels where a BOA
system transmits all of the system channels into the buildi ng. A limited set or no
trunking features may be available with this option depending on the specific
equipment purchased. This option also requires FCC licensing on 700 MHz
channels.
Estimated time to deploy is 4-6 months depending on eq uipment delivery and
building issues.
Estimated cost to deploy approximately $30,000 to $40,000 per location
depending on building and inst allation.
6. A single frequency repeater permanently patched to a specific trunked system
talkgroup could be install ed to provide spot coverage in specific areas. This option
would operate in a similar manner to a vehicular repeater installed at a fixed location
3
G'l
except the site would have a dir ect connection to the conventional repeater. This
option may be one of the least expensive options but it requires additional
frequencies which may not be available depending on the coverage ar ea desired.
No trunking features would be available with thi s option.
Estimated time to deploy is 8 to 12 months including FCC licensing time
assuming suitable frequencies can be found. .
Estimated cost is $30,000 not incl uding site developm ent costs if a
standalone site is built. This option will require on-going telephone com pany
telephone line costs of betw een $200-300 per month depending on location
of the transmitter.
Unfortunately, there are no easy quick fixes to generalized coverage problems in the Federal
Way area that to not have operational short comings. Fixing the coverage problems in the
subject area may require more than one approach.
