Resolution ofIntent to Fonn Lake Management District Number Two (North Lake)
FROM:
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND
Since incorporation in 2005, Surface Water Management (SWM) has been working with the residents living
adjacent to North Lake in the management of noxious freshwater aquatic weeds, including fragrant water lily,
purple loosestrife, yellow flag iris and narrow leaf cattail Because non-native plants have few natural controls in
their new habitat, they spread rapidly, out-compete native plant and animal habitats, and degrade recreational
opportunities. In addition, the presence of noxious freshwater weeds may lower values of lakefront properties.
Through this period, S WM has been charged with administering a Washington State Department of Ecology
Aquatic Weeds Management Fund Grant procured for North Lake. The grant has allowed funding for the
program, which has included contractor management, annual aquatic plant surveys, herbicide treatments, manual
control and public educatim. The five-year grant is set to expire December 31,2009
In order to continue a long-tenn aquatic weed management program beyond December 2009, North Lake residents
submitted a signed letter on August 25, 2008 to the City Manager requesting assistance in fonning a Lake
Management District (LMD). In subsequent North Lake Steering Committee meetings, agreement was reached
concerning the LMD scope, annual cost (see attached resolution), boundary, duration, and assessment rate
structure for lakefront properties
On February 24, 2008, a public meeting for the residents of North Lake was held to discuss LMD development
The meeting was well received with no opposition to the proposed plan. A petition (attached) to the City Council,
was signed by sixteen property owners affected by the LMD, including WeyerhaeuserCo. By this action, the
petition met the requirement set forth in RCW 36.61.030 (signed by ten landowners or owners of at least fifteen
percent of the acreage contained within the proposed LMD) and enables the Council to take action regarding the
formation of a North Lake LMD.

Day File
K:\LUTC\2009\04-6-09 North Lake Resolution of Intent to form LMD,doc
Petition to the Federal Way City Council to Create a
Lake Management District for North Lake
We, the undersigned North Lake property owners, request that the Federal Way City Council
approve the creation of a Lake Management District (LMD) for North Lake pursuant to RCW
36.6 L The LMD funds will finance efforts to protect and enhance North Lake in terms of water
quality, recreational and aesthetic value.
L Purpose of the Lake Management District:
· Form a Lake Management District that creates a funding source and an operational
program for all future designated aquatic plant management and water quality
management, maintenance and monitoring activities.
· Perform annual diver surveys to monitor changes in the aquatic plant community.
· Control, remove, and contain aquatic plants, including non-native populations at as
Iowa density as is envirorunentaUy and economically feasible, and at levels that will
not impact public safety or the beneficial uses of the lake.
· Reduce all other identified species of noxious weeds per the requirements of WAC
16-750, and further to levels that do not impact public safety, beneficial uses, or
ecology of the lake,
· Use appropriate aquatic plant control and treatment methods as needed for aU other
problematic aquatic weeds, using the best available science to identify and understand
their effects on human, aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems prior to implementation.
· Control, improve, and monitor water levels and water quality.
· Continue public education to prevent the introduction of noxious weeds, nuisance
plants and non-native animal species to the lake; and to aid in the early detection of
aquatic weed re-infestations.
· Conduct a limited volunteer-driven water quality monitoring program that Wl:. .,
lake health based on the collection of data, including but not limited to: water level,
temperature, Secchi depth, phosphorous and nitrogen.
· Conduct public education to reduce the amounts of non-point source pollutants
entering the lake, which can result in an increase in aquatic algae.
· Continue to involve the North Lake Community in the aquatic plant management
process.
The attached 2004 North Lake Integrated Aquatic Vegetation Management Plan
(lAVMP) and subsequent Annual Reports (2005-2008) include the basis for the annual
LMD work plan and LMD management goals. The LMD will reimburse the City for
costs incurred by staff in providing aquatic vegetation program management tasks.
All management district lake improvement and maintenance activities described in RCW
36.61.020 may be considered in the LMD scope, including: (1) controlling or removing
aquatic plants and vegetation; (2) improving water quality; (3) controlling water levels;
(4) treating and diverting stormwater; (5) controlling agricultural waste; (6) studying lake
water quality problems and solutions; (7) cleaning and maintaining ditches and streams
entering the lake; (8) monitoring air quality; and (9) the related administrative,

engineering, legal, and operational costs, including the costs of creating the lake
management district.
2. Boundary
The proposed boundary of the LMD would include all the property with lake front on
North Lake, and two individual adjacent properties that have lake access deeds. See
attached map of proposed properties within the district.
3. Duration
The proposed duration of the LMD is 10 years.
4. Charges to property:
Annual rates and charges will be used to raise funds to support LMD activities.
The following is the formula of rates and charges proposed for establishment of the
assessment role for the LMD:

.
Commercial property (3,714 ft) X $0.80 per lakefront foot $2,971
WOFW Public Boat launch Single annual assessment $4,000
TOTAL ANNUAL ASSESSMENT $12,536
The estimated maximum amount that is proposed for the LMD in 2010 is $12,536.20.

in each annual billing after 20 10 per approval by the North Lake Advisory Committee.
At no time is the increase to be more than five (5) percent per year. Total maximum
LMD rate revenue for the ten year LMD based on an annual five percent increase for

North Lake LMD Petition
Page 2 of 4
The LMD budget and rates will be approved through a public hearing and a public vote
after the city council adopts a resolution to form the LMD. Once approved by the public
and city council, the annual rates and charges may not be altered without another public
vote and city council approval with the exception of the CPI increase described above.
5. North Lake Management District Steering Committee
The volunteer North Lake Management District Steering Committee is proposed to
represent the interests of LMD property owners in the various neighborhoods around the
lake. City staff will work with the Steering Committee to develop the annual work plan.
The annual LMD work plan and budget will be forwarded by the Steering Committee for
implementation by the City's surface water utility. The Steering Committee will track
and review activities and expenditures by the City as well as outside contractors. City
staff will provide Steering Committee support including quarterly financial reports.

Public Works Surface Water Maintenance H~ Equipment Trailer Replacement-
Authorization to Bid
DATE:

VIA:
FROM:
BACKGROUND:
Public Works Surface Water Maintenance Division purchased a 12 ton equipment trailer in 1994 and
gave it a replacement life of 12 years. This trailer can carry 17,000 lbs. In 2003 a John Deere Backhoe
was purchased for SWM that weighed 16,800. This left only 200 lb. payload that the trailer could carry
when the backhoe was loaded on the trailer. Items such as road plates, extra buckets and drain pipe
must be brought out on a separate truck. The ramps on this old trailer had to be lengthened so the new
John Deere backhoe could be loaded without dragging the digging boom. The extra weight from
lengthening the loading ramps has been hard on the driver's backs lifting them into place for transport.
The 17,000 lb. payload is not enough to transfer the newer equipment that the crew rents during the
summer and equipment we want to purchase in the future.
The SWM staff wishes to replace the old Butler trailer with a new heavy equipment trailer that can carry
40,000 lbs. and uses a tilt deck instead of ramps to load equipment. This new payload capacity will
allow the SWM crew to leave the road plates loaded on the new trailer at all times and to carry extra
equipment and supplies when the backhoe is loaded. The tilt deck will allow the SWM crew to load all
types of equipment with no restrictions and load it safely, without the strain of lifting heavy loading
ramps.
Available Fundine:
The current reserve balance for the SWM Heavy Equipment Trailer is $18,679.00. During review of the
2009-2010 budget the Council approved $23,000.00 for the replacement of the equipment trailer. This
amount includes the $18,679.00 plus an estimated trade in or auction value of $4,321.00 for the old
Butler heavy equipment trailer currently used by the SWM department.

Dear Chief Wilson,
This letter is to confirm our request of a vehicle to the Washington State Criminal Justice
Training Commission (WSCJTC). We appreciate vehicle and equipment donations as
this is an area where we have serious needs. We utilize the vehicles in our mock scene
scenarios where recruits perform traffic stops in our parking lot and are evaluated on their
performance as to whether they have followed correct procedure, considered all of the
legal issues involved, etc. We have had a problem obtaining good vehicles which, even
though not used on the road, would work when needed.
Your agency has been very supportive of the work performed by the WSCJTC, which is
to provide quality training to our recruits who will in turn perform their work with
excellence in the community to which they return. It is only with the support of
organizations such as yours and individuals such as yourself that we are able to carry out
this mission.
Again, I would like to thank you for considering this request. I can assure you that any
donated equipment would be put to good use. We continue to be in need of equipment
and vehicles for training and would appreciate your assistance now or in the future. If I
may be of any assistance in regards to any training in the criminal justice area, please let
me know.
Sincerely,
A.4-td~~~ .~.

Agreement between City of Federal Way and Puget Sound Educational Service
District relating to Funding for Reinvesting in Youth
Background
The Federal Way Police Department has been helping fund Reinvesting in Youth since 2003. It
is a countywide effort that seeks to increase resources for proven cost-effective services for
troubled youth that reduce youth crime and save criminal justice and other costs. They reinvest
in research-based intervention and prevention programs, which will serve youth and families
throughout King County.
The annual cost to the City of Federal Way is $5,000.00. In the past funding has come from the
seizure account, this year it will come from the Traffic School account #001-2100-112-521-73-

This agreement is entered into between the City of Federal Way and the Puget Sound
Educational Service District I Reinvesting in Youth.
I. INTRODUCTION
Launched by the Puget Sound Educational Service District, City of Seattle, King County
and suburban city partners, Reinvesting in Youth (RIY) Phase 2 is a countywide effort
that will work with King County local governments, school districts, community based
providers and state policy makers to develop and implement comprehensive local
strategies and programs to prevent and retrieve dropouts; it will also support state policy
reforms focused on increased accountability and increased funding for dropout
prevention and retrieval. It is anticipated that local government contributions to RIY
administrative costs will leverage much larger amounts of support from private
foundations for program implementation.
The Puget Sound Educational Service District is the fiscal agent for the RIY project, and
its director and deputy director are employed by Puget Sound Educational Service
District. They are advised by an inter-governmental staff team and receive policy
direction from a Steering Committee of elected officials from King County, the City of
Seattle, suburban cities, school districts and other government and community leaders.
Reinvesting in Youth will provide quarterly and year-end reports to all funders and other
stakeholders.
The parties enter into this agreement to allow the City of Federal Way to reimburse the
Puget Sound Educational Service District for a portion of the management costs of the
project.
II. CITY OF FEDERAL WAY RESPONSIBILITIES
The City of Federal Way serves as a key partner in RIY through its ongoing support of
the RIY mission and strategies. Upon receipt of an invoice the City of Federal Way
shall pay $5,000.00 to Puget Sound Educational Services District for a portion of the
RIY management costs.
III. PUGET SOUND EDUCATIONAL SERVICE DISTRICT REINVESTING IN
YOUTH RESPONSIBILITIES
The Puget Sound Educational Service District shall be responsible for hiring the RIY
management staff and providing administrative support to the project.
IV. AGREEMENT DURATION
This agreement shall be effective from January 1,2009 to December 31,2009. This
agreement may be extended by mutual agreement of the Puget Sound Educational

Background
The Federal Way Police Department applied for the Washington Auto Theft Prevention

The ALPR device would be permanently mounted into a patrol vehicle. The ALPR vehicle
would be deployed specifically to address auto theft issues within the City of Federal Way to
achieve a greater rate of recovery for stolen vehicles, and to make more arrests associated with
occupied stolen vehicles.
The ALPR would cost $30,000, which is the amount that was awarded in the Grant.

RE: RFP Community Fireworks Display
Dear Jeri Lynn:
Thank you for the invitation to participate in this process. As you know,
Entertainment Fireworks, Inc. has been your production vendor in the past.
Enclosed for your review and consideration is our Proposal "A" in the amount
of $16,000 per year for your July 4, 2009-10 fireworks displays. The price is
all-inclusive per the following proposal, produced using 35% Recycled
EnvirocopyTM paper.
It is our understanding of your "Scope of Work" that you wish to engage with
a Display Company to prepare and produce a July 4th program for years' 2009
and 2010. The Program will be launched from Celebration Park - 1095 South
324th Street, Federal Way, WA, at approximately 10:15 PM each of the
respective years of the agreement. The Program should include choreography
to music with a welcoming address to the citizens of Federal Way.
Implied in this "Scope of Work" is your desire to have this program produced
in a safe, secure, ard professional manner and to have the activity managed
and assembled so as to be ready to initiate the display as defined in the RFP.
We have also noted and understand your request for the event to be
performed in compliance with all provisions of Chapter 70.77 RCW, and other
applicable laws and standards, notwithstanding NFPA (National Fire Protection
Association) Standard 1123, as identified by reference in WAC 212.17.
You have also requested an identification between price and length of
program. The RFP targets a minimum length of 20 and a maximum length of
22 minutes.
It is important to perceive that what you are purchasing is the "opportunity to
be entertained". Albeit, a potentially shorter program that features design and
entertaining presentation, and makes use of your material and service that
you have the budget to purchase, may garner more positive response from all,
vs. a longer program with large gaps between launches and effects.

Yet, relying upon our past service, we have achieved or adequately serviced
this target through careful music selection and collaboration with the City
Event Director.
We have included with this proposal the quantities of each respective size of
item that will be furnished to the programs. The full "laundry list" of each
item and description would consume the majority of space allowed for this RFP
and possibly serves little purpose in the broad scope of the information you
wish to evaluate to make your choice.
You will note that the product inventory for your successive programs is close
to a "carbon copy" of materials used during the previous RFP cycle, and is
sufficient to support the RFP's "length" target and design objectives.

proposal. These 18 units are capable of projecting 1547 shots.
In preparing your DISPLAY SHELL RECAP, 18 devices are used to give
you a practical sum of the total units, and does not total the number of
shots these devices can perform.

DISPLAY AGREEMENT
1. This agreement, entered into this 16th day of March, 2009, and between Entertainment Fireworks, Inc., hereinafter
referred to as "EFI", and City of Federal Way, herein after referred to as PURCHASER.
2. EFI agrees to furnish PURCHASER, in accordance with terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, 2 fireworks displays
per PROGRAM A, proposed, accepted and made part hereof, together with the services of a pyrotechnic operator
licensed for the state of the display to be in charge of, and along with sufficient crew to safely discharge the display.
Said display is scheduled to be performed on the 4th day of July, 2009-10, at Celebration Park, Federal Way,
WA.
3. PURCHASER, at it's own expense, agrees to provide to EFI: A) A suitable DISPLAY SITE in which to stage the
fireworks display, including a firing and a fallout zone acceptable to EFI in which the fireworks and fireworks debris
may be exhibited, rise and fall safely. B) Adequate policing, guard protection, roping, fencing, and/or other crowd
control measures to prevent the access of the public, or it's property not authorized by EFI into the display site. C)
The services and cost of standby firemen and/or applicable permit fees as required by state and local statutes,
ordinances or regulations. D) Access by EFI, at all times to the DISPLAY SITE to set up the display. If PURCHASER
fails to fully comply with all requirements of A, B, C, and/or D set forth above, EFI shall have no obligation to perform
and PURCHASER agrees to pay EFI the entire contract price plus any additional expenses incurred because of said
failure. If in it's sole discretion, PURCHASER designates an area for members of the public to view the display
("spectator area") and/or area for parking vehicles, ("parking area"), the PURCHASER shall: E) Ensure that the
Spectator Area does not infringe on the Display Area; F) Have sole responsibility for insuring that the terrain of the
Spectator Area and any structures thereon, including, but not limited to grandstands and bleachers are safe for use
by spectators; G) Have sole responsibility for insuring that the Parking Area is safe for use; H) Have sole
responsibility to police, monitor, and appropriately control spectator access to the Spectator Area and Parking Area
and police, monitor and appropriately control the behavior of persons in these areas. It is expressly agreed that EFI,
(including it's operators and crew) shall not inspect, police, monitor or otherwise supervise any area of the site other
then the Display Area, except to insure: I) That any Spectator or Parking Area are outside the Display Area; and J)
After completion of the Display, that the Display Area is cleared of any live fireworks debris originating from the
program.
4. PURCHASER shall pay to EFI Sixteen Thousand Dollars ($16,000.00), plus a $25.00 fuel surcharge if
applicable. Full final payment is due within ten (10) calendar days after the date of the display. A finance charge at
a periodic rate of 1.5% per month, 18% annual percentage rate, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever
is less, will be charged on the unpaid balance after 10 days from the date of the display. PURCHASER, by signing this
agreement, authorizes EFI to receive and verify financial information concerning PURCHASER from any person or
entity.
5. PURCHASER agrees to assume the risk of weather, or causes beyond the control of EFI which may prevent the
display from being safely discharged on the scheduled date, which may cause the cancellation of any event for which
PURCHASER has purchased the display, or which mayor effect or damage such portion of the exhibits as must be
placed and exposed a necessary time before the display. It shall be within EFI's sole discretion to determine whether
or not the display may be safely discharged on the scheduled date and at the scheduled time. If for any reason
beyond EFI's control, including, without limitation, inclement weather, EFI is unable to safely discharge the display on
the scheduled date or should any event for which PURCHASER has purchased the display be canceled, the parties
shall attempt to negotiate a new display date, which shall be within 60 days of the original display date. PURCHASER
further agrees to pay EFI for any reasonable additional expenses made necessary by this postponement. If they are
unable to agree on a new display date, EFI shall be entitled to liquidated damages from PURCHASER as if
PURCHASER had canceled the display on the date set for the display, as provided in the following paragraph.
6. PURCHASER shall have the option of unilaterally canceling this display prior to the date of the display. If PURCHASER
exercises this option, PURCHASER agrees to pay EFI, as liquidated damages, the following percentages of the agreed
contract price: 1) 25% if cancellation occurs three (3) or more days before the date scheduled for the display, 2)
50% if cancellation occurs within two (2) days of the actual date set for the display, 3) 75% if the cancellation occurs
on the date set for the display but prior to the time physical set-up of the display actually begins, 100% thereafter.
If cancellation occurs prior to the date of the display, PURCHASER agrees to pay EFI, in addition to the above
percentages, the reasonable value associated with any specific custom work performed by EFI or it's agents including
but not limited to music, narration tape, production and/or sponsor logo.
7. In the event the PURCHASER cancels the display, it will be impractical or extremely difficult to fix the actual amount
of EFI's damages. The foregoing represents a reasonable estimate of the damages EFI will suffer if PURCHASER
cancels the display.
8. EFI reserves the ownership rights and trade names used in or a product of the pyrotechnic display to be performed
herein. Any reproduction by sound, video or other duplication or recording process without the express written
permission of EFI is prohibited.

amount PURCHASER agreed to pay EFI under this agreement. PURCHASER shall not, under any circumstances, be

SUBJECT: 2009 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) - Informational
Memo
Background
The grant is authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of2009 (public Law 111-
5) (the "Recovery Act") and by 42.U.S.C. 375l(a). The stated purposes are: to preserve and create
jobs and promote economic recovery; to assist those most impacted by the recession; to provide
investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science
and health; to invest in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure that will
provide long-term economic benefits; and to stabilize State and local governments budgets, in order
to minimize and avoid reductions in essential services and counterproductive State and local tax
Increases.
The application period for this grant program ends May 18, 2009.
The grant requires King County and 18 King County municipal law enforcement agencies to enter
into an inter-local agreement, select a fiscal agent, and submit one grant application. The fiscal agent
will have full responsibility for mandatory reporting and disbursement of funds to municipalities.
The King County Grant award is $4,882,208 the federal allocation for City of Federal Way is
$211,276 (allocation spreadsheet attached). The federal allocations are subject to negotiation with
King County. These negotiations are predicted to begin on April 8, 2009.
Staff seeks inform council of the current application timeline and pursuit of the grant funds. The
City will not realize a financial impact or obligation by submitting the application. However, if an
inter-local agreement cannot be reached between all participants, the entire King County grant award
will be lost until the next application cycle in 2010 or later.

Recovery Act: JAG Formula Program
Application Guidelines Summary
All applications are due to. BJA by 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 18. 2009
Jurisdictions certified as disparate must identify a fiscal agent that will submit ajoint
application for the total eligible allocation, All of the 18 jurisdictions listed along with King
County on the distribution list are disparate, and must submit one joint application. The joint
application must specify the award distribution to each unit of local government and the
purposes for which the funds will be used, A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that
identifies which jurisdiction will serve as the applicant/fiscal agent for joint funds, must be
completed, and signed by the Authorized Representative for each participating jurisdiction. The
signed MOU should be attached to the application.
The fiscal agent is responsible for the administration of the funds including: distributing the
funds; monitoring the award; submitting reports including performance measures and program
assessment data; and providing ongoing o~ersight and assistance to any subrecipients of the
funds. .
Disparate Status
If your jurisdiction is listed with another city or county government, you are in a funding disparity.
The 18 jurisdictions listed along with King County are in a disparate situation for purposes of
submitting this JAG application. The JAG statute requires that if a city qualifies for one-and one-
half times (150 percent) more funding or if multiple cities receive four times (400 percent) more
funding than a county with concurrent jurisdiction, there is a funding disparity. In this situation,
the units of local government must apply for an award with a single, joint application. The units
of local government within the disparate jurisdiction must agree upon an allocation process. BJA
is not involved in that decision,
Purpose Areas
JAG funds may be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel,
equipment, supplies, contractual support, information systems for criminal justice, and criminal
justice-related research and evaluation activities that wi.1I improve or enhance:
· Law enforcement programs.
· Prosecution and court programs.
. Prevention and education programs.
· Corrections and community corrections programs.
· Drug treatment and enforcement programs. .
· Planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs.
. Crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation).
In addition to fulfilling program-specific purposes, projects funded under the Recovery Act
should be designed to further one or more of the general purposes of the Recovery Act, which
are to preserve and create jobs arid promote economic recovery; to assist those most impacted
by the recession; to provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring
technological advances in science and health; to invest.in transportation, environmental
protection, or other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits; and to stabilize
state and local government budgets, in order to minimize and avoid reductions in essential
services and counterproductive state and local tax increases

Hello Diane,
I passed your question by my boss and fie said that according to the rules for the JAG recovery funds
and JAG in general, we expect only one application to be submitted for the 18 jurisdiction listed as
disparate with King County and we also expect one MOU to be included signed by all jurisdictions
involved.
I'm so sorry for the confusion in this matter. I guess my mind still has not recovered from the
monitoring I did last week and I hope this information clarifies everything for you.
Fondly,

Reference Information:
What is the authorizinc lecislation for the American Recoverv and Reinvestment Act of 2009
JAG Awards?
The awards are authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public
Law 111-5 (the "Recovery Act"), which was signed into law by President Obama on February
17,2009. It is an unprecedented effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs,
and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in
the 21 st century. The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great
Depression, and includes almost $2 billion in critical resources for state and local law
enforcement and other criminal justice activities through the Recovery JAG program. The
awards are also authorized by the JAG program, 42 U.S.C. ~~ 3750-3758, which isfound in
subpart 1 of Part E of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968.
What is the Cataloa of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for the Recovery Act JAG
Procram?
The CFDA number for the Recovery JAG Program (State) is 16.803, and for the Recovery JAG
Program (Local), it is 16.804.
Award Eligibility/Formula Information:
What is the Transition Rule?
The Recovery JAG statute requires that local governments that have not reported at least 3
years of data (within the last 10 years for which UCR data are available) on Part I violent crimes
of the UCR to the FBI are ineligible for direct Recovery JAG local formula funding. As a
tra'nsition to implementing the grant program, the law permitted Recovery JAG units of local
government during 2006, 2007, and 2008 to qualify for Recovery JAG formula funds based on
the last three years of UCR data which they had submitted, in any prior years. That Transition
Rule, by statute, has expired.
Who is eliaible?
Applicants for Recovery JAG State awards are limited to all states, the District of Columbia,
Guam, America Samoa, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern
Mariana Islands,
In addition, in order for states to be eligible to receive these funds, the Recovery Act requires
that certain advance certifications must be made by governors or mayors, as appropriate. See
section 1607 of the Recovery Act, which requires a Governor's certification regarding use of
funds (or a concurrent resolution by a state legislature), and section 1511, which requires a
detailed certification from a governor or mayor in connection with infrastructure projects.
Applicants for Recovery JAG local awards are limited to units of local government listed under
the appropriate state or territory name at
www.ojo.usdoi.aov/BJAlrecovervJAG/recovervallocations.html.
For Recovery JAG Program purposes, a unit of local government is: a town, township, village,
parish, city, county, or other general purpose political subdivision of a state; any law
enforcement district or judicial enforcement district that is established under applicable state law
and has authority to, in a manner independent of other state entities, establish a budget and
impose taxes; or, a federally recognized Indian tribe or Alaskan Native organization that
performs law enforcement functions as determined by the Secretary of the Interior. In Louisiana,
a unit of local government means the office of a district attorney or a parish sheriff.
How is the formula calculated?
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) calculates for each state and territory a minimum base
allocation which (based on the statutory JAG formula) may be enhanced by (1) the state's share
of the national population and (2) the state's share of the country's Part 1 violent crime statistics.
Once the state funding is calculated, 60 percent of the allocation is awarded to the state and 40
percent to eligible units of local government.
States also have a variable percentage of the allocation that is required to "pass through" to
units of local government. This amount, also calculated by BJS, is based on each state's crime
expenditures. Additionally, the formula calculates direct allocations for local governments within
each state, based on their share of the total violent crime reported within the state. Local
governments that are entitled to at least $10,000 awards may apply directly to BJA for Local
Recovery JAG grants, For those local governments whose direct allocation under the formula
would be less than $10,000, the funding is provided directly to the state.
How do I know if I am eliaible for a direct Recovery JAG award from BJA?
A list of eligible jurisdictions, as determined by the JAG formula and corresponding allocation
amounts, is provided on the BJA Recovery JAG web site at
www.oio.usdoi.aov/BJAlrecovervJAG/recovervallocations.html.
Mv citv/countv/oarish/township/tribe is not listed as aualifvina for a direct award, Is there other
Recoverv JAG fundina available?
Yes. Your state government also receives a Recovery JAG award from BJA, and you may
qualify for funding from the state. States are required to "pass-through" a percentage of their
award to support local projects that support approved Recovery JAG purpose areas. To identify
the state agency that administers the award in your area, visit the Office of Justice Proarams
SAA web paae. State agencies that administer the Recovery JAG "pass-through" funds will be
listed under the Bureau of Justice Assistance heading.
Where can I find Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Part I violent crime data and crime expenditure
data for mv city or county?
Data is available on the FBI's UCR web site.
2
Will the 10 oercent oenaltv for failure to comoly with the Sex Offender Reaistration and
Notification Act (SORNA) aooly to the Recoverv JAG fundina?
No. Any reduction required for failure to comply with SaRNA (or to request an extension of time
in which to do so) will be applied in the fiscal year following SaRNA's deadline for
compliance. Because the deadline for compliance is not until July 27, 2009-with the possibility
for two one-year extensions-no Recovery JAG funding will be affected.
I don't see my iurisdiction on the allocation list? Why?
-If your city/county is not on the list, it does not qualify for a direct JAG award from Bureau of
Justice Assistance. The JAG legislation specifies that allocations to local governments are
based on their share of the total violent crime reported by the state's units of government to the
FBI over 3 of the last 10 years. Either your jurisdiction did not submit 3 years of UCR data to the
FBI since 1999, or the level of crime did not meet the threshold to be eligible for a JAG award.
The 2005 Bureau of Justice Statistics Technical Reoort explains the entire formula that is
statutorily-based.
Application Requirements:
How do I obtain a Data Universal Number System (DUNS) number?
Ask the grant administrator, chief financial officer, or authorizing official of your organization to
identify your DUNS number. If your organization does not know its DUNS number or needs to
register for one, visit Dun & Bradstreet at htto:/Ifedaov.dnb.comlwebform/disolaYHomePaae.do.
The federal government has adopted the use of DUNS numbers to track how federal grant
money is allocated. DUNS numbers identify your organization. The time it takes to request and
obtain a DUNS number is approximately one day.
How do I reaister my iurisdiction with the Central Contractor Reaistration (CCR)?
Ask the grant administrator, chief financial officer, or authorizing official of your organization if
your organization has registered with the CCR. If your organization is not registered, you can
register and then renew your registration once a year.
If your organization already has an Employment Identification Number (EIN) or Taxpayer
Identification Number (TIN), then you should allow one to three business days to complete the
entire registration process with the CCR. Your EIN and TIN should be provided by the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS), If your organization does not have an EIN or TIN, then you should allow
two weeks for obtaining the information from the IRS when requesting the EIN or TIN via phone
or Internet. The additional number of days needed is a result of security information that needs
to be mailed to the organization. .
You may apply by phone (1-888-227-2423) or register online at www.ccr.aov, CCR has
developed a handbook (www.ccr.aov/handbook.aso) to help you with the process. When your
organization registers with CCR, you must designate an E-Business Point of Contact (E-Biz
POC), This person will identify a special password called an "M-PIN", This M-PIN gives the E-
Biz POC authority to designate which staff member(s)'from your organization are allowed to
submit applications electronically, Staff members from your organization designated to submit
applications are called Authorized Organization Representatives (AORs),

__ ______n___________________.--.J
How is my Recovery Act JAG award different from FY 2008 or FY 2009 JAG funds?
Significant differences between the Recovery JAG awards and regular JAG funds include, but
are not limited to: 1) an emphasis on job creation and job retention; 2) submission of particular
Recovery certifications specified in the solicitation (e.g., an infrastructure certificate); 3) time-
specific quarterly progress reports due 10 days after the end of a quarter; 4) specific Recovery
Act performance measures; and 5) increased federal grant oversight. The American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009 JAG solicitation includes specific information on these
differences and additional requirements.
How should I notify BJA if my iurisdiction. althouah eliaible for fundina. will not applY for
fundina?
Send a letter of declination (on letterhead) via e-mail, or fax it to the BJA State Policv Advisor
assigned to your state. The letter should indicate that your jurisdiction is declining the Recovery
JAG funds, the reason(s) why, and should be signed by the jurisdiction's Chief Executive Officer
or authorized representative. '
Our local iurisdiction (e.a.. city. county. parish. township. or tribe) is eliaible to apply for a direct
award from BJA. Who must applY. and where do I find more information on how to apply?
Only a unit of local government (e.g., city, countY, parish, township, or tribe) may apply to BJA
for Recovery Local JAG funding. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a unit of local
government is responsible for determining which government official will apply for funding, and
may designate an agency head, such as a police chief or sheriff, to be the signing authority on
the application. For example, if the applicant is a city and the project will be implemented by the
police department, the chief of police can be designated, and the chief would then have signing
authority for that application. In this instance, the city will be listed under the "Legal Name"
section of the application, and the police department will be listed as the "Organizational Unit"
on the application.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Recovery JAG Awards solicitation will
be posted on the BJA Recovery JAG web paae, Applications for funding must be submitted via
the online Grants Manaaement System (GMS) within the prescribed application period. Detailed
instructions on submitting an application, as well as guidance on managing your grant award,
are available in the GMS computer-based trainina tool.
Will our city/county receive the amount listed one time or for every year of the proiect period?
The amount listed on the eligible jurisdiction list is a one-time award amount. The project start
period is March 1, 2009, and there is a statutory 4 year period within which to spend funds.
What is a "Governina BodY." and what does the "Governina Body Review" entail?
Examples of governing bodies are a state commission, city council, tribal council, county
commission, county board of supervisors, or other legislative body at the local level. Follow your
local laws and procedures for providing the application to the governing body. For example,
based on your internal procedures, you may need to provide a copy of your grant application to
the administrative assistant for the city to distribute to the city council. The manner in which you
notified your governing body, and the date this was completed should then be included in the
Review Narrative portion of your application (along with information regarding public comment),
4
Applicants for a Recovery JAG award must make the grant application available for review by
the governing bOdy of the state or unit of local government, or an organization designated by
that governing body, not fewer than 30 days before the application is submitted to BJA.
Our city council meets onlv once a month. How can I meet the 30-dav aovernina body review
reauirement and still submit mv aoolication before the aoolication deadline?
The application must be submitted for review by a governing body at least 30 days prior to
submission to BJA. Governing body approval is not required in order to submit the application
to BJA. Submit your application via GMS no later than the application deadline, regardless of
whether the local review process is complete. If the application is not complete, or you do not
meet the 30-day governing body review requirement, BJA will add a special condition to the
award that will withhold grant funds until you submit documentation confirming the requirement
has been met.
What is the "Public Comment" reauirement?
Applicants must provide an opportunity for the public to comment on their Recovery JAG
application. The manner in which the public is notified and given an opportunity to comment, as
well as the pertinent dates, should be included in the Review Narrative portion of the application
(along with information regarding the governing body review). If the requirement is not met at
the time of submission, BJA will process the application, but funds will be withheld until the grant
recipient provides documentation that the public comment requirement is complete. Common
forms of public notification include web site and newspaper postings, city council, tribal council,
and county board hearings that are open to the public.
Does the oublic comment reauirement have to be comoleted 30 days orior to submittina the
aoolication?
No, the governing body notification must occur 30 days prior to application submission.
This requirement should not be confused with the public comment requirement, which
requires that the application be made public, with an opportunity for comment, anytime
prior to application submission.
Am I reauired to hold a oublic hearina. or can I oost a notice in our local newsoaoer or on our
deoartment's web site in order to satisfy the oublic comment reauirement?
The JAG statute does not specify how you notify the public. BJA recommends that you follow
your local public notification process.
Is there a reauirement to have an advisorv board review the aoolication?
No, There is no statutory requirement under JAG to have an advisory board review the
application,
Is match reauired?
Match is not required.
5
Is the Qovernor of a state reauired to sian the two certifications attached to the Recoverv
JAG solicitations?
No. For the two certifications attached to the Recovery JAG solicitations (entitled "Certification
as to Recovery Act Reporting Requirements" and "General Certification as to Requirements for
Receipt of Funds for Infrastructure Investments") as indicated in the text of these certifications,
the certifying official must be a person with legal authority to make the particular certification on
behalf of the entity applying directly to OJP. Therefore, while the certifying official does not have
to be the governor of a state, he or she must be a person with the ability to legally bind
the applicant entity (Le., the state or unit of local government that is applying directly to OJP for
Recovery JAG funding).
Use of Funds:
What can Recoverv JAG funds be used for?
Grantees may utilize Recovery JAG funds for state and local initiatives, technical assistance,
training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for
criminal justice, as well as research and evaluation activities that will improve or enhance law
enforcement programs related to criminal justice. Some examples include: prosecution and
court programs; prevention and education programs; corrections and community corrections
programs; drug treatment and enforcement programs; planning, evaluation, and technology
improvement programs; and crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation).
In addition to fulfilling program-specific purposes, projects funded under the Recovery Act
should be designed to further one or more of the general purposes of the Recovery Act, which
are to preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery; to assist those most impacted
by the recession; to provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring
technological advances in science and health; to invest in transportation, environmental
protection, or other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits; and to stabilize
state and local government budgets, in order to minimize and avoid reductions in essential
services and counterproductive state and local tax increases, For additional information on
Office of Justice Programs' Recovery Act Grant Programs, please visit the OJP web site at
www.oio.usdoi.Qov/BJAlrecovervJAG/recoverviaa.html.
Is there anvthina that the Recoverv JAG funds cannot be used for?
Yes, Recovery JAG funds may not be expended outside of the JAG purpose areas, Even within
the purpose areas, however, Recovery JAG funds may not be used directly or indirectly for
security enhancements or equipment to nongovernmental entities not engaged in criminal
justice or public safety. In addition, no Recovery JAG funds may be used directly or indirectly to
provide for any of the following matters unless the Attorney General certifies, in advance, that
extraordinary and exigent circumstances exist, making them essential to the maintenance of
public safety and good order: vehicles (excluding police cruisers); vessels (excluding police
boats); aircraft (excluding police helicopters); luxury items; real estate; construction projects
(other than penal or correctional institutions); and any similar matters.
6
Where can I find more information on supplantina?
For additional guidance regarding supplanting, refer to the information provided at
http://www.oip.usdoi.aov/recovervlsupplantinaauidance.htm.
The current JAG statute prohibits the use of arant funds for vehicles. vessels. and aircraft
(excludina police cruisers. police boats. and police helicopters) unless extraordinary and exiaent
circumstances exist. It also states that BJA must certify in writina that yOU may use the funds for
these purposes. How do I obtain this certification?
Submit a written request (email is acceptable) with your Recovery JAG application number or
post-award grant number to your BJA State Policv Advisor. The written request must clearly
identify the circumstances that require the use of Recovery JAG funds to purchase a non-police
vehicle, vessel, and/or aircraft, describe the purpose of the non-police vehicle, vessel, and/or
aircraft, and how it relates to criminal justice. BJA will expeditiously review your request and
notify you in writing. Funds should not be obligated or expended for these purposes until you
have received this approval. Requests that are not linked to improvements in criminal justice will
not be approved.
Disparate Information:
Mv city is listed alona with mv county under the column "Joint Application (Disparate) Award
Amount." What does this mean?
If your jurisdiction is listed with another city or county government, you are in a funding disparity.
The JAG statute requires that if a city qualifies for one-and one-half times (150 percent) more
funding or if multiple cities receive four times (400 percent) more funding than a county with
concurrent jurisdiction, there is a funding disparity. In this situation, the units of local government
must apply for an award with a single, joint application. Crime expenditure data for the units of
local government is included in the disparity calculation. For more information about the
disparate allocation process, see the Bureau of Justice Statistics Technical Report.
How do we determine which sinale unit of local aovernment will be the fiscal aaent responsible
for applvina for the funds?
This is a decision to be made by the units of local government. Consider which local
government is most capable of adhering to the financial and programmatic requirements
according to federal guidelines governing expenditure, monitoring, and reporting for Recovery
Act funding.
Are the city and the county reauired to work on the same proiect or purpose area?
No, All units of local government within the disparate jurisdiction may fund individual projects.
For example, the city may choose to purchase equipment, and the county may wish to fund a
drug task force, On the other hand, funds may also be combined to fund one joint project.
7
Are disoarate iurisdictions reauired to submit a Memorandum of Understandina (MOU) even if
they aaree to use the entire award amount for the same ouroose?
Yes. A Recovery Act MOU, signed by each jurisdiction's authorized representative, is required
from all disparate applicants, regardless of the manner in which funds will be used or
distributed. As an example, the county would like to administer a drug court that would benefit
all cities listed as disparate. The cities agree with this strategy, and the total allocation is
awarded to the county. In this scenario, each city must be included in the Recovery Act MOU,
and indicate agreement that the county will receive the total allocation. The Recovery Act MOU
must certify that the city or county that does not receive funds: 1) recognizes the funds in
question will be provided for a single project; 2) believes the proposed project will provide a
direct local benefit to their city or county; and 3) agrees providing funding for a single project is
in the best interest of their city/county.
How do we determine how to solit the award in a disoarate situation?
The units of local government within the disparate jurisdiction must agree upon an allocation
process. BJA is not involved in that decision.
What haooens if the disoarate iurisdictions cannot reach an aareement on how the Recoverv
JAG funds will be distributed?
Recovery JAG funds are withheld until a Recovery Act MOU signed by the CEO, or the
designee, of each unit of local government is submitted,
How do I find out what my iurisdiction's ootential allocation is within the disoarate allocation
orocess?
Each disparate jurisdiction's eligible amount (based on the formula) is available at
www.oio.usdoi.aov/BJAlrecovervJAG/recovervallocations.html.
How do I orovide the Recovery Act MOU to BJA?
When completing your application in GMS, upload the signed Recovery Act MOU as an
attachment to that application. If your Recovery JAG grant has already been awarded, fax or
email the signed Recovery Act MOU to your State Policy Advisor. Your Recovery JAG award
will be withheld until the Recovery Act MOU is received and approved by BJA.
Reporting:
What will be the reoortina reauirements once the Recoverv JAG arant is awarded?
Consistent with the Recovery Act emphasis on accountability and transparency, reporting
requirements under Recovery Act grant programs will differ from and expand upon OJP's
standard reporting requirements for grants, In particular, section 1512(c) of the Recovery Act
sets out detailed requirements for quarterly reports that must be submitted within 10 days of the
end of each calendar quarter. The information from grantee reports will be posted on a public
web site, and receipt of funds will be contingent on meeting the Recovery Act reporting
8
requirements. Accordingly, grant recipients under this program are required to file a
"Certification as to Recovery Act Reporting Requirements."
In addition, funds from a Recovery Act grant must be tracked, accounted for, and reported
separately from all other funds (including DOJ grant funds from non-Recovery Act grants
awarded for the same or similar purposes or programs). To the extent that grant funds are
available to pay a grantee's administrative expenses, those funds may be used to assist the
grantee in meeting the accelerated time-frame and extensive reporting requirements of the
Recovery Act.
In addition, all Recovery JAG recipients will be required to follow any applicable provisions of
government-wide guidance that may be issued in the future, pursuant to the Recovery Act.
For additional information regarding Recovery JAG Program reporting requirements, please
refer to the Recovery JAG Prooram solicitations or the Recovery JAG web paoe.
Are there performance measures?
Yes. Please refer to the Recovery JAG Prooram solicitation or the Recovery JAG web paoe for
the specific performance measures.
Administration:
How do I receive mv Recovery JAG award payments?
Payment requests are made through the Phone-Activated Paperless Request System (PAPRS).
Once you request a payment, funds are electronically deposited to your bank account. You
must have an up-to-date Automated Clearing House (ACH) banking form on file with the Office
of the Chief Financial Officer prior to attempting to access funds. Please see Step 5 Accessing
Payment in the Office of Justice Programs Post Award Instructions for step-by-step guidance.
Where can I find instructions for submittina financial status reports. Recovery JAG prooress
reports. orant adiustment notices (GAN) and/or closeouts in GMS?
Detailed training guides are available on the GMS Computer-Based Trainina web paae.
How willi be notified when mv award is made?
Grantees are automatically notified by email after BJA awards your grant. Because of this, it is
critical that contact information entered into your grant application is accurate.
Now that I received mv Recovery JAG award. are there any written post-award instructions?
Yes. The online Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Post-Award Instructions includes detailed
guidance.
Can I speak to a live person at BJA reoardino mv Recovery JAG award?

SUBJECT: Acceptance of the Interlocal Agreement Between the City of Federal Way and the
Federal Way School District No. 210 for School Resource Officers.
Policy Question
Should the City of Federal Way and the Federal Way School District No. 210 enter into a new
Interlocal Agreement for School Resource Officers?
Backe:round
School Resource Officers are commissioned officers that provide law enforcement and security
services to the School District. They provide school campuses the opportunity to heighten safety,
to increase public awareness, and to increase outreach in the community.
The original SRO Agreement was set in August of 1999 and was amended twice. It renewed for
another 3 year term from September 2005 through August 2008. At the beginning of the
2008/2009 school year, the Federal Way School District chose to exclude Thomas Jefferson High
School from the Interlocal Agreement with the City of Federal Way. This Agreement reflects
that change. The term of this Interlocal Agreement is from September 1, 2008 to August 31,
2010. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew year to year unless terminated
pursuant to Section VII hereof. This agreement has been reviewed and approved by the legal
departments of both parties and is ready for final signatures.
Options
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the new Interlocal Agreement between the City of
Federal Way and Federal Way School District No. 21 for School Resource Officers
The benefit of accepting this Agreement is the added safety and law enforcement that SRO's
provide at each of our Federal Way High Schools. Also, this Agreement will automatically
renew on a year to year basis.
2. Not authorize the City Manager to accept this Agreement
1
Not accepting an SRO Agreement with the Federal Way School District would mean a decline in
the safety and law enforcement within our Schools.
Staff recommendation
Recommend option # 1 to accept the lnterlocal Agreement between the City of Federal Way and
Federal Way School District No. 210 for School Resource Officers
Committee recommendation
Forward option #1 to the full City Council for approval on April 21, 2009.

SUBJECT: Acceptance of the Interlocal Agreement Between the City of Federal Way and the
Commons Mall Management Company.
Policy Question
Should the City of Federal Way and the Steadfast Commons II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, (owner of the Commons Mall at Federal Way), enter into a new Interlocal Agreement
for Mall Resource Officers?
Backe:round
Officers who are assigned to work at the Commons Mall are commissioned police officers
providing full law enforcement and security services for the Commons Mall property. The Mall
Resource Officers provide the opportunity for increased safety and security for patrons and
businesses which enhances the environment for greater commerce, increases public perception of
safety, and broadens our outreach and visibility in the community.
The original Commons Mall agreement was first set in 1999 and has been renewed by both
parties each year. The term of this Interlocal Agreement is for one year, commencing January 1,
2009. Thereafter, this Agreement shall come up for renewal again in 2010. This agreement has
been reviewed and approved by the legal departments of both parties and is ready for final
signatures.
Options
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the new Interlocal Agreement between the City of
Federal Way and the Steadfast Commons II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (owner
of the Commons Mall at Federal Way), for Mall Resource Officers
The benefit of accepting this Agreement is the added safety and law enforcement that Mall
Officers provide at this property.
2. Not authorize the City Manager to accept this Agreement
1
Not accepting this Interlocal Agreement with the Commons Mall owners would mean a decline
in the security and perception of safety and our business partnerships at this vital location.
Staff recommendation
Recommend option # 1 to accept the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Federal Way and
the Steadfast Commons II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (owner of the Commons
Mall at Federal Way), for Mall Resource Officers
Committee recommendation
Forward option # 1 to the full City Council for approval on April 21, 2009.

EXHIBIT "A"
SERVICES
1. The City will provide to the Property three (3) full time, experienced police officers ("Contract
Officers") to provide security (in addition to other policy duties) for the Property, its businesses,
tenants, and customers. The Contract Officers will work in conjunction with private security or other
police agency representatives employed by the Owner at the Property or any of the Property's stores
or tenants. Contract officers will combine foot patrol and vehicle patrol of the Property, including its
parking lot and perimeter, with office, booth, or kiosk fixed positions to provide security, visibility,
and police services. Contract Officers will lose no benefits, assignment, training, or promotional
opportunities due to the Agreement. Contract Officers will be assigned in one (1) year increments,
but may be rotated to address City needs or Owner interests.
2. The Property will be considered by the City as a mini-beat within the general geographical dispersal
structure of the City, placing it as a section within a regular beat. The regular beat officer, in which
the Property mini-beat exists, will provide presences and response capabilities consistent with
general beat management strategies. The Property's coverage by the regular beat officer will not be
reduced by the presence of the Contract Officers or by the use of other police agency representatives
or private security staff or agency representatives in the Property or in individual stores. All
supplemental police services will remain unaffected by the coverage provided for in this Agreement.
3. During assigned periods, the Contract Officers will respond to police or public safety incidents. If
the matter can be resolved by the Contract Officers expediently, no general assignment or specialized
assignment officers will need to respond. Ifneeded, as determined by the City, other officers will be
dispatched as in the resolution of any similar matter through the City. If the incident requires
extended investigation or follow-up investigation away from the Property, or prisoner transportation
general assignment officers will relieve the Contractor Officers to allow them to resume the Contract
Officer duties as soon as practical.
4. The City will retain control over the Contract Officers and the Contract Officers will work under the
general and direct supervision of the Federal Way Police Department and the City. The Contract
Officers will work in a full duty status while on duty as in any Police Department duty assignment,
and will adhere to departmental policies and procedures. Contract Officers will be in uniform during
duty hours and will be provided with regularly used police equipment including vehicles and radios.
The City may at its option also provide bicycles, computers, or other equipment.
5. The Owner may provide office space, a public access kiosk, or other facilities. Property
Management may coordinate the security efforts of the Contract Officers on a day-to-day basis,
consistent with City policy, to assure continuity, coverage, and coordination of efforts; provided that
in the event of a conflict between any direction from the Owner or its agents and the City, the City
direction shall control.
6. Contract Officer absences due to illness, time off, or training will be replaced by general assignment
police officers, to maintain a continuity of coverage, when the absence will result in no Contract
Officer being on duty at the Commons Mall for that day. The number of shifts shall be set in Exhibit
B Compensation, and may be reduced based on the level of compensation actually provided to the

VI. SCOPE OF SERVICES.
Back2round
In March of2007, the City of Federal Way (City) opened the Federal Way Community Center (Center).
The 72,000 square-foot facility features two pools, a climbing pinnacle, gym bays, community rooms,
class space, daycare, a fitness center, group exercise classes, rental space for special events and
meetings, and much more. An abundance of natural light showcases the building's modern architecture
and sets off its location in wooded Celebration Park.
Although overall attendance was good and most visitors to the Center ranked the building and its
offerings as excellent, first year of revenue fell below City expectations. In order to increase the
Center's visibility and stature in the community, the City in 2008 hired an outside firm to complete a
communications audit and to craft a Strategic Communications Plan that would work hand-in-hand
with its business model which is designed to increase pass sales, daily drop-ins and rentals.
Research shows the Center needs to develop a stronger, more consistent brand and implement a
comprehensive communications strategy that standardizes its fragmented communications as well as
integrates its print, broadcast and interactive marketing efforts.
As part of the Strategic Communications Plan, a new identity was established in the form of a logo and
- 3 -
tagline: "It all happens here. "
The Strategic Communications Plan also identified four key audiences and a set of key messages
tailored to each of those audiences:
. Pass-holders and drop-ins
. Rental customers
. Community Center patrons (those who use the free side ofthe facility)
. Media
The Strategic Communications Plan has more detail about the key messages and other work done to
support the Center's new identity. The City strongly encourages responders to this RFP to use the plan
as a basis for their submissions.
SU2:2:ested Production Schedule
The Center is headed into its second-busiest time of year: summer. The production schedule submitted
should be designed to get visibility in time for the summer rush. Focus should be on strategies that can
promote summer specials and can highlight awareness ofthe facility among Federal Way area residents
as a great drop-in center for families with children or out-of-town visitors. While the Center's business
objectives include goals to increase the number of pass-holders, drop-ins and rentals, the summer is a
perfect time to capture the drop-in market.
Deliverables
Task 1: Visual Look and Feel. Create a visual look and feel for Center communications based on the
identity work done in the Strategic Communications Plan and specifically the new logo and tagline, "it
all happens here." The look and feel should be lively, creative and represent the excitement, passion
and care for the community that exists at the Center. The visual look and feel will be applied across all
communications vehicles.
. The Contractor will provide an assortment of different examples of a look and feel to the City
for approval, but not less than two choices.
. The look and feel should include a recommended set of fonts, a color palette (to complement
the color used in the Center's logo), and other graphic elements as warranted.
. Once a final look and feel has been chosen, the contractor will provide usage guidelines. These
usage guidelines will complement the City's new Graphic Standards Guide that governs the
City's logo as well as co-branded applications (City and Center, for example).
Task 2: Visual Library. Working with a professional photographer, develop a base of original images
that captures the vibrant offerings of the Center, the diversity of people who enjoy the facility, and the
building itself. Based on planning for tasks I through 6, identify a list of key images needed, and work
with Center staff to create an initial bank of signature photos that can be used over the next few years
on key communication pieces and the Web site. For example, photos that illustrate the personal or
human element inherent in activities at the Center including but not limited to sports activities,
weddings and business rentals, senior gatherings, teen activities and community life. Custom shots that
embody the tagline are also desired. Original high quality photography will be a key element of
communications from the Center.
- 4 -
Task 3: Boilerplate description ofthe Community Center. Create boilerplate language for the
Center that can be used in a variety of settings from news releases and rack cards to flyers and coupons.
Task 4: Print Communications. Develop a full suite of print ~ommunication materials that will help
the Center reach its goals of raising visibility and stature in the community as well as meet its business
revenue expectations. Note: all communications should embody the chosen look andfeel in some
manner to signify they are all part of the same family of communications.
4.1. Seasonal Pass Holder Promotions (4): The Center offers four seasonal promotions during
the year. Write and design four oversized (9 x 6) direct-mail postcards specifically addressing
these promotions, with the emphasis on completing the summer promotion first:
. Summer 2009
. Fall 2009
. Winter 2009-2010
. Spring 2010
4.2. Community Center Presentation Folder (1). Develop a standard-size, pre-printed, fully
branded folder with business card cutout that can be used for all types of event activities such as
rentals (family birthdays, weddings, and corporate meetings), and sporting events (swim meets
basketball tournaments) in addition to special packages, parties and promotions. The
presentation folder would be ordered in mass quantities 'to save on printing costs.
4.3 Community Center Rack cards (4). Write and design four separate, standard-size rack
cards that are activity and audience-focused. Photography and text should focus on the specific
activity/audience and encourage a call to action.
. Swimming
· Fitness and Recreation (Group exercise, fitness center, climbing wall, gym, jogging
track)
. Teens
. Seniors
4.4 Community Center Schedule templates (24). Re-write and re-design the current facility
schedule to be professional, yet simply designed templates that staff without a graphic design
background can easily update and re-print. Include boilerplate language. Recommend a
standard size. Both 8.5 x 11 and half-sheets have been used in the past. Design four seasonal
versions of each schedule template so it is easier for patrons to tell that they have the updated
version. The schedules are:
. Pool
. Swimming Lessons
. Group Fitness
. Gymnasium
. Climbing Pinnacle
. Walk/Jog Track
- 5 -
4.5. Community Center Rate-sheet template (1). Re-write and re-design the current rate sheet
that covers pass-holder and drop-in fees (not rental charges). Include promotional introductory
copy that highlights at least one of the premiere benefits of being a pass-holder - no joining or
initiation fees, for example. Streamline the presentation of rates. List only the resident prices
and include a footnote that states non-residents will be charged slightly higher rates. The
template design should be professional, yet simple enough that staff without a graphic design
background can easily update and re-print. Recommend a standard size. Both 8.5 x 11 and half-
sheets have been used in the past.
4.6. Community Center Templates for coupons and passes (2). Create two different
templates for regular coupon promotions and pass deals. The templates should be consistent
with the current size (6.5 x 2.78) and should be cleanly designed for easy modification to
smaller formats-such as when the coupons/passes appears in the City's quarterly newsletter.
4.7. Community Center Facility tour card (1). Write and design a tour card that focuses on
the Center's fitness capabilities and can work as a self-guided tour when staff is not available. It
should be well designed with an attractive illustrated map of the Center and a specific call to
action. Although it can have a few bullets to cross-sell other Center services such as rentals, its
focus should be on fitness and the benefits of being a pass-holder. Key benefits should be
clearly and prominently highlighted. The rate sheet (see Task 4.5) would work as a companion
piece to the tour card so that someone who visits the Center can walk away with all the
information he or she needs to make a membership decision.
4.8 Rental materials. Develop a suite of print and electronic outreach communications to serve
the Center's distinct rental markets. Printed pieces will be placed in the presentation folder
(Task 4.2) as dictated by the clients' needs. Some materials should be duplicated in Spanish.
Original professional photography of actual and staged events in the Center will playa key role
in rental communications.
A. Youth birthday party packages.
. Direct mail postcard (1). Write and design a 9 x 6 full-color direct-mail postcard
focusing on birthday party packages for young children. The Center offers three types of
parties: pool, climbing pinnacle or gym-based.
. Flyer (1). Write and design a comprehensive 8.x 5 x 11 color flyer for youth birthday
party packages.
B. General birthday parties.
. Direct mail postcard (1). Write and design a 9 x 6 full-color direct-mail postcard
focusing on the Center's unique rental experiences for older teen and adult birthdays.
The pool, climbing pinnacle, gym or community rooms can be rented for longer periods
of time with fewer restrictions that with the youth party packages.
. Flyer (1). Write and design a comprehensive 8.x 5 x 11 color flyer older teen and adultlbirthdays.
- 6-
C. Rental rate sheet. Write and design an 8.x 5 x 11 flyer listing the rates for those portions
of the building that can be rented (other than for the youth birthday party packages). Each
part of the building should be accompanied by appropriate photos.
. Community Rooms (photos of special events and business meetings)
. Senior Lounge
. Classrooms
. Climbing Pinnacle
. Pool
. Gym
D. Fundraisers and auctions (1). Write and design an 8.5 x 11 flyer aimed at growing the
business from groups or organizations that hold yearly fundraising events and auctions.
These types of groups include but are not limited to Little League, the Chamber of
Commerce, Friends ofthe Hylebos, Rotary and Kiwanis.
E. Corporate clients: business meetings, trainings, retreats (1). Write and design an 8.5 x
11 flyer focused on cultivating corporate business activities such as meetings and trainings. A
secondary focus on business retreats is desirable. For example, the bulk ofthe flyer could
feature photography of speaker/audience or classroom training sessions but also include a
shot of business men and women at the pool table or climbing the pinnacle (samples of actual
events held at the Center).
F. Special occasion rentals (weddings, quinceaiieras, bah mitzvahs, family reunions,
etc.).
. Overview flyer (l/English, l/Spanish*). Write and design an 8.5 x 11 double-sided
flyer focused on special event rentals. Copy should be warm and friendly and target the
special nature of these once-in-a-lifetime events. Copy should highlight not only the
quality ofthe facility but also the professional and caring staffwho are willing to go that
extra mile. Photography should stand out.
. Cover letter (l/English, l/Spanish*). Write a single-page generic cover letter with key
attributes of the Center for special events. This letter can be customized by staff for
particular inquiries or bookings and can be economically printed on letterhead.
. Addendum to contract (l/English, l/Spanish*). Edit and format text supplied by staff
for a single-sided 8.5 x 11 addendum to a rental contract. Format to match special event
rental materials.
. Checklist of do's and don'ts (l/English, l/Spanish*). Edit and format text supplied
by staff for a single-sided 8.5 x 11 checklist of do's and don'ts tailored to the Center's
most popular special events. Format to match special event rental materials.
. Post-event survey form (l/English-electronic, l/Spanish-printed). Edit and
format text supplied by staff to match special event rental materials. Suggest best format
for electronic survey.
- 7 -
Task 5. Electronic Communications.
5.1. Overall Web site. Re-write and re-design the Center's current Web site to be visually
engaging and easy to navigate. Use the City's existing Content Management System (access
will be granted to the contractor). Web work should be all-inclusive: site architecture,
storyboarding, written content (Tasks 3 & 4), photography (Task 2), usability testing, brief
how-to manuals and staff training. The Center already has databases, class registration systems
and other e-commerce features built into the site. User testing should include current and
prospective patrons.
5.2 Rentals sections with the Web site. In addition to the above elements, the Center's Web
site should include a number of virtual tours. These tours should cover rooms when they are
empty and then feature a variety of different types of events in those same rooms. Suggest the
best format for the virtual tours: stitched photography, videography, etc.
Rooms to be included in the virtual tours include but are not limited to:
. Community Rooms, all three bays open as one room
. Community Room 1
. Community Room 2
. Community Room 3
. Classrooms
. Senior Lounge
. Gym Bays
5.3 Fitness e-newsletter template (1). The fitness staff at the Center earn high marks from the
community (and from competing fitness facilities). They have the ability to market their
expertise to a wide range of audiences through a fitness e-newsletter. Develop three suggested
names for the newsletter, a simple HTML format, and brainstorm suggested topic headings.
Staff will write the newsletter, either on a monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly basis.
Task 6. Advertising plan. In order to conserve the Center's limited advertising dollars and to increase
effectiveness with timely placements, create an advertising plan to span Summer 2009 through
Summer 2010. The plan should take into account the other types of advertising being used (rack cards,
direct mail, email promotions) and should focus on those outlets and avenues that offer the highest
visibility and the best chance of return on investment. Consider a focus on awareness building, special
offers, citywide celebrations and various rental markets.
Include the following elements in the plan:
. Strategy and goals for advertising explaining why and how this plan meets these goals.
. Breakdown of target audiences by demographics or lifestyle.
. Outlets and avenues that should be targeted (consider print, electronic and other forms such as
bus advertising. Also consider general media vs. specific trades).

Market Me NOW!
Proposal for Federal Way Community Center's
Marketing and Strategic Plan Implementation
We are pleased to present our response to the request for a marketing and strategic plan implementation
for the Federal Way Community Center.
"It all happens here. " Federal Way has a wealth of opportunities for its residents and surrounding
community members. From urban attractions to the gifts of nature, there is something for everyone. And
in this atmosphere of economic uncertainty, it is imperative that people spend their money wisely. The
Federal Way Community Center is where it's at. With options for individuals and families, people can
have fun, get fit, and make new friends while not emptying their wallets. With this in mind, it is important to
remember that to make money, we must spend money. Market Me Now! understands the need to
maximize marketing dollars that will yield the highest return possible.
In business since 2005, Market Me NOW! (MMN) is a full-service marketing and advertising agency
serving clients in Federal Way and the greater Puget Sound. MMN's goal is to provide the highest quality
service at a cost-effective rate that maximizes the growth of its customer. Through time-tested
campaigns, we've developed new and powerful advertising solutions utilizing various advertising
products: Internet, brochures, flyers, and magazine advertising.
Using a unique strategy called Cross Media Paradigm Marketing, MMN is able to combine all marketing
avenues into one cohesive strategy-ideal for the Federal Way Community Center. This means that print
and electronic media work hand-in-hand to provide the best coverage to the target audience.
For example, MMN has the ability to implement a direct mail campaign that utilizes a personalized URL to
capture real-time data from users that builds a deeper customer profile. This allows us to redefine
marketing objectives as a program develops. By doing this, we are able to adjust the call-to-action to
reach the goals faster or more cost-effectively.
The following is just a sample of successful campaigns designed and implemented by MMN:
Christian Faith Center Schools
Goal: To increase student enrollment for the 2008-09 year.
Solution: Implemented a demographic study of their target market and produced and mailed a direct mail
piece.
Result: They enrolled 10 new students, resulting in a 1000% return on investment.

Creative & Production Focus & Timeline
Market Me NOW! has the ability to turn around effective marketing strategies in a short time frame. To
achieve the primary goal of increased patrons and rental usage, MMN will develop a plan utilizing Cross
Media Paradigm Marketing. A strategy and technique that is exclusive to Market Me NOW!
The Focus
To implement an effective advertising program, an overall level of expectation must be established for
goals to be set and maintained. At our kick off meeting, we will discuss the percent of growth desired and
the current rate of attrition in order to set a base line for reasonable growth.
A demographic study of Federal Way residents, businesses and local tourism trends will allow us to
segment the target audience and choose the most effective methods of marketing to the most desirable
groups.
The advertising plan will focus on deliverable results by developing key indicators for measuring the
success of the campaign-by developing real-time triggers that automatically alert key supervisors of new
prospective *members and *rentals.
Based upon the established growth, we can then develop a budget and timeline to direct the frequency
and placement of the advertising for maximum Return on Investment.
The focal point is to educate the Federal Way community that "it all happens here" at the Community
Center with particular emphasis on special offers, citywide celebrations and various rental markets
MMN utilizes many forms of marketing to achieve the highest Return on Investment. Taking into
consideration placement of rack cards, traditional direct mail, cross media-direct mail, and email
promotions, we will also propose targeted Internet, radio, local publications, and online viral and social
networking, transit advertising, Le., buses, Movie Theater or On-Screen Advertising, and key placement
of signage.
Proposed Creative & Production Timeline
"It al/ happens here. "
To create excitement and interest in the community of Federal Way and surrounding areas by branding
Federal Way Community Center as the place to take a break from the rush of daily life to enhance and
enjoy your life whether you are a member of the community or just stopping by for a short visit.

Introduction: Marketing the Federal Way Community Center
Cipalla Communications Inc., a local woman-owned business, is pleased to submit this proposal
to implement a series of marketing recommendations that grew out of the Federal Way Community
Center's Marketing and Strategic Plan, submitted by this firm to the City of Federal Way in
November 2008.
My team of professionals is ideally suited to the tasks outlined in this proposal. We combine strong
marketing and communications backgrounds with a solid grounding in the Federal Way community
and its municipal government. We will bring an informed and innovative approach to implementing the
Community Center's plan, as we create materials that will inform, excite and persuade current users to
continue and expand their relationship with the center, and entice new audiences to sample, enjoy and
recommend to others the myriad of programming and activities, offered.
In addition to our professional qualifications, we believe we are also ideally suited for this project
because of our personal interest in fitness and exercise. Our team has two members who were
competitive swimmers. We have two rock climbers, one serious cyclist, and all of us are dedicated
fitness enthusiasts. We are familiar with the family uses of a community center, such as birthday
parties and swimming lessons, and value easy-to-read schedules and programming information. We
understand the mind set of this audience and know our passion for a healthy lifestyle will translate to
creative and effective communications
The Strategic Communications Plan was designed to create a strong, effective and consistent
communications strategy that will not only integrate print, broadcast and interactive media but will
also support the Community Center's mission and its business goals. We will know that our efforts
have been successful when we have not only increased pass sales, drop-ins and rentals, but also
when the Federal Way Community Center becomes the place where the community gathers for
exercise, fitness instruction, socializing and plain old fun.

In addition to developing the strategic communications plan for the Federal Way Community
Center upon which this RFP is based, Cipalla Communications also created:

those audiences, and a cross-promotional marketing strategy.
. Logo and tagline for the Federal Way Community Center.

attributes, either for a venue, an event or a city. We are skilled in packaging those attributes in such a
way that they are recognizable, memorable and motivational. Our experience includes creating
successful positioning statements and identity materials for city and county marketing programs,
nonprofit organizations and employee campaigns. We have positioned Braided River/The

Look and feel. Our most immediate task will be to take current brand and develop a cohesive,
creative and energetic look and feel to all Community Center communications. Fully integrated,
clearly branded communications with consistent look and strong messaging are essential to creating
memorable and effective marketing collateral.
Collateral. Our team is skilled at writing crisp and creative copy, with strong headlines and calls to
action to spark interest and excitement. Key messages developed as part of the Strategic
Communications Plan will be applied to concepts, headlines and copy to ensure high-impact
communications thatwill resonate with your audiences and motivate them to act. We will
incorporate electronic communications to reach diverse audiences who look to the Internet for
sources of information and activity planning.
Web site: We have created information architecture (IA), navigation, Web branding, content and
Web site design for clients -as well as managed the online reviews, refmements, hosting services

who will be actively involved in the day-to-day activities of this project. We pride ourselves on
Cipalla Communications
Federal Way Community Center Proposal

listening to our clients and checking in with them regularly, seeking feedback on our personal
performance as well as that of our campaign tactics.
We consider ourselves skilled communicators, both visually or verbally, whether it's through
advertising, written materials, media outreach, promotion or electronic avenues. We believe our
messages and collateral are created in a way that is direct and uncomplicated but also compelling and
informative.
As a team, we have successfully collaborated on a number of projects over the years. Because of
these relationships, we understand and value each other's strengths and we have developed efficient,
smooth working mechanisms that result in highly creative, effective campaigns.
Our approach to this work
Our process to successfully complete this contract will follow these steps:
TASK 1: Create the visual look and feel for future communications.
We will create a "look and feel" that extends the Community Center logo andtagline, which our
team developed in 2008 in partnership with Community Center staff. We will provide two design
approaches, including recommended fonts and full color palette that builds on the Center's signature
purple. (This work is based on a finished and approved logo.)
We will write graphic standards that govern the use of the logo in print and electronic
communications, signage and apparel. These standards will be incorporated into the City's overall
Graphic Standards Guide and work in concert with the City's brand objectives. Our budget allows
for up to six pages of graphic standards.
The "look and feel," which is codified in the graphic standards, will streamline future communications
materials, whether print or electronic, and ensure a cohesive, distinctive and coordinated look for all
Community Center marketing materials.
Design files will be handed off to the Center's inhouse designer.
TASK 2: Begin developing the visual library
We will hire a professional photographer (Kim Zumwalt) who will schedule two half-day shoots in
late spring/summer to capture images documenting Center amenities and offerings, the diversity of
its users, and the building itself. We will begin this work by developing a shot list of images, which
will be approved by a designated Community Center staff member.
One half-day shoot will be split between static building shots and images showing children and
adults enjoying the facility's main attractions (pools, climbing pinnacle, gyms, weight rooms and
senior lounges, for example). A second half-day shoot can be used for additional images of the
facility and its customers, or - depending on the availability and scheduling of rental events - for
event-specific photography, perhaps of a birthday party, wedding or business luncheon. These event
photos might show an empty room set-up with tables, linens and floral arrangements in place, or
they might show happy and excited children celebrating a friend's birthday. The challenge here will
be selecting a day when several diverse and colorful events are scheduled to maximize the
parameters of the photo shoot.
Cipalla Communications
Federal Way Community Center Proposal

Photo rights will be for unlimited use of the images in print collateral, advertising or the City's Web
site. In addition to the two half-day shoots, we will also provide basic digital processing. The
deliverable will be large JPG images provided on a CD. Further digital enhancements (i.e., for a
custom print job) are not included as part of this proposal and will be billed at the consultant's
hourly rate. Obtaining all model releases will be the responsibility of Community Center staff.
TASKS 3 a 4: Boilerplate and print collateral
Our team will write a crisp and creative boilerplate descriptive paragraph that can be used in print
and electronic communications, in press releases, in speeches given by City officials, or in
presentations delivered at conferences, trade shows or other public forums.
We will also write and design the following key marketing materials:
4.1 Four direct-mail seasonal postcards
4.2 Presentation folder
4.3 Four rack cards, audience-specific
4.7 Facility tour card, with illustrated map.
Tasks 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.8C
All communication materials, print and electronic, will flow out of the look and feel developed as
part of Task 1. To accommodate the variety of templates specified under Task 4, we will design a
banner or framework to accommodate introductory copy, content and schedule matrices with
appropriate typography and color palette. We will write promotional introductory copy, as
requested, for these four sub-tasks. Files will be built in InDesign and handed off to the Center's
inhouse designer for future updates.
Please note: In Task 4.4, we will create four templates, not six. We believe the Center should
combine the gym, climbing pinnacle and jog track schedules on one sheet for maximum cross-
promotional benefits, particularly since individuals (many teens and young adults) using one of these
features would likely be inclined to use another.
Task 4.8: Rental materials
We are prepared to write and design the materials specified in the RFP for the rental audience: 2
direct mail cards and 5 flyers, and we will write and format the cover letter, contract addendum,
checklist and survey. However, we recommend that this assortment of materials be assessed in light
of what is best for each specific audience, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. If we are chosen
for this work, we will work with the Center to suggest alternate communications for some of these
audiences without an undue burden on the budget.
TASK 5: Create content and design for Web pages
For this task, we will develop the site architecture, write site content, design the wire frames and
build up to ten (10) site pages describing the Community Center and its Rental program in Content
Management System. We will conduct usability testing with up to four (4) individuals, and will
provide a one-hour training session with 1 to 3 staff members responsible for updating the site.

Because of budget restrictions, the site will not include dynamic components or ACP scripting.
Website cross-browser compatibility, W3C compliance and other feature performance will be
dependent on the city's Content Management System (CMS). Our budget is based on being allowed
remote access to the City's CMS (after an initial training session). If development must be
performed onsite, we will need to adjust our budget accordingly to allow for additional time spent in
travel and on site.
We will also provide a finished Quicktime/Flash VR tour of seven (7) "rooms" as specified in the
RFP, that will include shooting on location and preparing all files needed to post to the web.
Finally, we will create an newsletter template for the Center's fitness program and provide simple
HTML coding. Distribution will be the responsibility of the Community Center. We will create three
names for the newsletter and suggest titles for recurring columns or editorial departments.
TASK 6: Advertising plan
We will create an advertising plan that helps the Center maximize its budget with creative and timely
placements of ads. The plan will include the following elements:
. An overarching strategy statement that will guide our media buys.
. A breakdown of target audiences to ensure we are reaching the right audience with the right
message.
. A matrix of media outlets covering print, broadcast and electronic media. We will take a look
at general media versus trade media (such as Seattle Bride Magazine or Seattle's Child), as
well as other modes of advertising, such as mass transit.
. A budget and calendar that outlines what money is to be spent where, and when. Our
calendar will include deadline dates for creative that will help ensure that placement
deadlines are met.
As recommended in the Community Center Strategic Communications Plan, we will look at
purchasing media to support the following: awareness-building; special offers; citywide
celebrations/ events, and corporate/community rentals.

Dear Recreation and Cultural Services Superintendent,
Enhanced Visual Images has a varied and highly successful track record working with
government entities. Based in Federal Way, we are uniquely qualified to fulfill the
deliverables set forth in this proposal. We lead an active community life, understand the
demographics of our fellow citizens and can put together an effective mix of new (social
networks) and traditional media so that our citizens take action; action that leads to the
Federal Way Community Center.
Our team has produced marketing materials for the Washington Traffic Safety
Commission, Governor Gregoire's Get Healthy campaign with the Washington Health
Foundation, and worked for political bodies such as the Washington Realtors
Association and the Washington Restaurant Association.
One key element in our proposal includes a professional video and still record of the
Second Annual Birthday Bash on March 29. We believe strongly in giving back to the
community and this service, provided free of charge, demonstrates our commitment to
this project. With your blessing, we intend to capture the spirit of the FWCC like no one
before.
In short, we have a proven public service track record, offer the best marketing value per
dollar and welcome the opportunity to work with your staff in establishing the Federal
Way Community Center as the destination for fun, fitness and family. It all happens here!

Dear Ms. Clark:
Let's build some excitement about the Federal Way Community Center. Let's create an
experience for the Center's audiences that drives them to action. Let's increase membership,
drop-ins, rentals, access, and awareness about the Center's many offerings. Let's show the
community that it all happens here.
Located in Federal Way, in I house communications is a multi-faceted marketing
communications agency that excels in providing strategic and tactical creative services on
behalf of its clients. We believe that because we are a "home grown"team of communications
professionals, we can provide results-driven success based on our knowledge of the
community, other local health facilities, and the Community Center.
With in I house, you'll receive priority treatment and a team approach to all aspects of
your campaign. Our experts have dozens of years experience in their respective fields and
apply creativity and ingenuity to their work.
The project lead and your primary contact will be Kelly Maloney, owner ofln I house
communications. Joni Atkinson, professional photographer, will do the photography and
create the visual library. Linda Sholberg, graphic designer and artist, will work with Kelly to
create the overall "look and feel" of the campaign. Kelly will incorporate the look into all
components for consistent and easily recognizable materials. Linda will create the usage
guidelines. Mike Dziak, professional videographer and web designer, will do the technical
aspects of the videos and web. Kelly will write the boiler plate and do all other writing. Please
see Attachment A for details on our experience and Attachment 8 for a timeline with
breakdown of fees/hours, deliverables and responsibilities.
Our projected fee of $50,000 reflects a significant reduction in charges. We recognize
this is the maximum budget under the RFP and hope our bid is competitive in all of the
categories. We are trimming our fees because we believe it is to our benefit, as business
owners and residents, to help the Community Center achieve success.
Thank you for this opportunity to respond to the Federal Way Community Center-

on this important and exciting campaign!

!!!..I house team--experience
Kelly Maloney, owner
Kelly has been offering integrated marketing communications for nearly two decades
in her roles as employee and business owner. Her experience includes marketing strategy and
implementation for Valley Medical Center's Fitness Center and marketing strategy for Puget
Sound Adventure Boot Camp.
Kelly oversaw the creative, development, and dissemination oftwo successful
integrated, multi-media campaigns for Highline Community College-a branding campaign
and a targeted advertising campaign. Both needed to reach diverse audiences with
specialized messages. This was accomplished using direct mail, outdoor, transit, radio, web,
posters, copy development, scripted videos for Web 2.0 dissemination, collaterals, in-theater
advertising, and radio and TV ads with a very small budget. The success of the campaigns was
measured by "driving" students to the college's web site, which increased the experience for
the audience with fun quizzes, ways for them to identify with other higher education
students, and a link to a Highline page to help them figure out their career interests. Web hits
reached record highs, and registrations and enrollments of male students--the key audience
for the ad campaign--was significantly increased.
Kelly has been working with Franciscan Health System and Franciscan Medical Group
for the past five years, writing hundreds of headlines, ad copy and other content for
advertising, direct mail and annual reports. In this consultancy relationship, Kelly works with
and oversees the work of various professionals, such as graphic designers and photographers.
Kelly held the position of Director of Marketing Communications for Provider Services,
Inc., Puget Sound Physicians Association (PSPA), and Insignia TPA. For all ofthese
organizations, she was the creative, strategic leader on branding, messaging, and all facets of
marketing communications. An example of the success of these efforts is the increase in
physician memberships for PSPA, which increased by more than 200 percent.
Kelly has a BA (Magnum Cum Laude) in Communications with a minor in Journalism
from the University of Houston and continues her education through seminars, workshops,
conferences and self-training.

Websites I 09
UNAIDS needed an website portal geared for a younger audience to promote
selected UNAIDS information in an engaging way and facilitate access to more
specific information on the main site.
Visually the site is much more dynamic and lively for the target audience with content
being more advocacy related and less scientific and technical as their main site.
The primary content is divided into four easy to navigate sections: The Epidemic,
Prevention, Treatment, Care + Support.
The prototype is viewable at:

Websites 1010
The primary objective of the Hearst Corporation website is to educate the general
public about the breadth and depth of brand offerings and to function as a news and
public relations tool.
The project was a total redesign replacing a legacy site that was about 8 years old.
The site integrates scripted flash components that allow easy updates to new
images, for instance, monthly updates of magazine covers.

Ci Center Access Pro. ect - A roval of the Recom ded Alternative
BACKGROUND:
In December of 2008, the Core Support Team for this project as represented by the Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), King County,
Sound Transit, and the staff of the City of Federal Way recommended Alternative 1 North City Center
locate access to 1-5 at S 312th Street. The team had 100% consensus based upon the scoring and
screening of the three (3) alternatives. A summary of those meeting minutes are attached.

ENDORSEIIENT FOR CITY CENTER PHASE' -ALTERMTIVES SCREENING CRITSRfA
OVERALL SCREENING CRITERIA RATING SUMMARY
The overall ratings for all criteria. are shown in the following table. Each alternative has different
transportation system and environmental impacts and benefits shown in the summary table. A sum of all
+ and ratings without weighting the criteria results in the following finall5C<m:S:
· No-Build Alternative-- + 7
· Alternative 1-+ 14
. Alternative 2--. + 10
This does not necessarily mean that Alternative 1 is the best overall alternative since so~e crtteria may be
more important than others. The intent of this screening process is to provide technical information and a
discussion tool for the Core Team, Stakeholder Team, and Federal Way City Council to reach consensus
on a ~ferred alternative.
In December of 2008, the Public Stakeholder Team, the Council appointed advisory team for this project
as represented by the following members that participated in the final evaluations, and the staff of the City
of Federal Way recommended Alternative 1 North City Center locate access to 1-5 at S 3 12th Street. The
team had 100% consensus based upon the scoring and screening of the three (3) alternatives. One (1)
team member recommended building both build alternatives.

August 2008 through February 2009, Community Briefings were held to take specific comments
regarding the alternatives. Those meeting summaries can be found on the project web page at
http://www.cityoffederalway.com/Page.aspx?page= 1429
Main themes of comments from the lriefmgs are:
Concerns of additional traffic impacts, impacts to Steel Lake and Steel Lake Park, and property impacts to
include cultural resources, if found. Currently we are in the progress of addressing mitigation solutions to
impacts from the project and the planned program projects that are adopted in our comprehensive plans
and approved 6-year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP).
February 11,2009 the last in a series of Open Houses was held and that event summary is attached.
Today, we are recommending dropping Alternative 2 South City Center at S 324th Street from the
Environmental Assessment (EA) process which should conclud(: in January of 2010 with a Public
Hearing and thirty (30) day comment period, as well as move forward with design refmements to the
Alternative I North City Center.

Meeting Summary
1. InboduCDons
The meeting began at lO:03am. Ms. Zukowski informed the team that a
repr~sentative from King County would not be present at the meeting. All
attendees introduced themselves then the meeting opened with Ms. Zukowski
presenting a summary of the last public open house.
2. Public Meeting Summary and Debrief
Ms. Zukowski presented a PowerPoint presentation of the open house event held
at the Commons Mall. A summary of the Comments and questions from the
open house were included in the presentation. Mr. Miller commented he liked
using the Commons mall as a venue for the event and asked if it would be used
again for future upcoming public open houses. Mr. Perlic responded that while
1
he agreed the Commons Mall worked out well, other venues will be considered
for future public open houses. Mr. Basha asked if there were any comments
about wetlands or the other environmental findings presented at the open
house. Mr. Perlic answered that the environmental display boards were viewed
but there were not many questions about them. It was noted, though, that
alternative 1 would have greater impacts to wetlands than the other alternatives.
Attendees were primarily interested in the. traffic visualizations and property
acquisition information. Ms. Zukowski added that while there was some interest
in the information regarding the bogs and wetlands, questions about impacts to
property east of 1-5 were more common.
3. Review of Draft AltematlvesScreenlng Memo
Mr. Perlic stated he wanted to quickly walk through the summaries in the
screening memo that tallied the ratings that begins on page 32. Any changes
that were made stemmed from the comments from the previous Core team and
Stakeholder's team meetings. He added that the totals of plusses and minuses
were added up but only to best illustrate the overall view of how each of the
alternatives were rating thus far. The totals for the alternatives were no build at
a total of +7, alternative 1 at a total of + 14 and alternative 2 at + 10. Weighting
was not used for the updates to the. memo as was also the case in previous
drafts of the document.
The following is a summary of the criteria that were reviewed by the team and
includes updated comments and ratings information:
Transportation
Traffic congestion/operations:
. Compatibility with Freeway Operations
Freeway operations and traffic flow are much better alternative 1, the S
312th Street option. With the added ramp improvements at S S 312th
Street the congestion clears up and improves freeway flow. Alternative 2
is also an improvement, but not quite as strong as alternative 1 so it is
rated slightly lower. Safety increases also as there are fewer accidents
with less potential for rear-end traffic collisions due to stopped or slow
traffic and fewer back ups.
. Impact on local Traffic Operations/Degree of Congestion
Local network operations are improved with alternative 1. There are
significantly lower local system delays with alternative 1, which also drives
the improvements to freeway operations.
2
· Effect on Weekend Traffic Congestion
Alternative 2, S 324th Street was rated slightly better than.alternative 1.
The Saturday traffic analysis was slightly better for alternative 2 due to
better access and circulation as both ramps are near the mall area which
improves circulation of shopping traffic on the weekends around the S
324th Street area.
Safety:
. Impact on Freeway Safety
Alternative 1 was rated slightly higher than alternative 2 due to the
reduction of traffic congestion backing up onto 1-5 that would occur with
the addition of the bridge at S 312th Street.
. Impact on Local Safety
Alternative 1 is rated to be better than Alternative 2 due to the
improvements to freeway operations.
Access/Circulation:
· Connectivity with and Circulation within the City Center
Alternative 1 is rated higher than alternative 2 as it provides better
balance and distribution of traffic. Alternative 1 opens up traffic on the
north end of the city center whereas alternative 2 opens up the south end
of the city center and traffic still needs to get up to the northern end of
the city center area.
. Compatibility with Non-Motorized MocIes
Alternative 2 was rated slightly higher due to two new connections across
1-5.
Design/ Construction:
· Ability to Meet Design Standards
_ .Both alternatives currently meet design standards. Neither of the
alternatives shows any significant design deviations and as such, both
have high ratings.
3
Natural Environment:
Plants and Animals
. Impact to Threatened or Endangered Species
Neither alternative has a direct impact to threatened or endangered
species. Alternative 1 has a rating of least impact as it is farther away.
There is a smalr chance for stormwater to head into various branches of
Hylebos. Alternative 2 is closer to those so it received a lower rating.
Water Resources:
. Wetlands
Wetlands receive a double-minus for alternative 1. Alternative 1 has
about 3 acres of impact and alternative 2 has.about half of that space
impacted.
Mr. Perlic reminded the team that this version of the screening memo features a,
first, rough cut of the design drawings and meets design standards. A design
refinement phase will be the next step in the project to minimize wetlands .
impacts no matter which alternative is chosen.
. Air:
. Impact on Air QVality
Air Quality was related to the change in traffic. There are fewer delays in
the local systems and air quality improves with alternative 1 more than
with alternative 2 so it receives a higher rating than alternative 2.
Human Environment:
. Property Acquisitions and Displacements
Property acquisitions and displacements are about the same for both
alternatives. Alternative 2 has slightly higher impacts as 2 to 4
displacements will affect Belmor Mobile Home Park. 16 to 17 properties
preliminarily identify as affected. Those numbers are common to both
alternatives.
Neighborhoods:
. Environmental Justice
Alternative 1 has a higher rating as alternative 2 has impacts to Belmor
Park.
4
To summarize, Mr. Perlic pointed out that the overall ratings for each of the
three main categories show a higher benefit for alternative 1.
The team was then asked for any comments prior to selecting a preferred
alternative recommendation. Mr. Roberts noted that freight mobility rating was
the same for each alternative and under drculation within the city is rated as a
double plus for alternative 1 and a single plus for alternative 2. Mr. Roberts felt
those should have the same rating. Mr. Perlic agreed as both alternatives
improve freight mobility. Alternative 2 is closer to freight destinations in the
south end of the city, which could improve its rating in freight mobility, but it is
subjective. Team asked why alternative 1 had a minus rating under
constructability. Ms. Zukowski answered that the minus was given due to the
direct access ramps at S 317th Street. Cut and cover would be needed at S 317th
Street. for the abutments below which affected the constructability rating. Mr.
Perlic added it could include a temporary signal to make those improvements.
Ms. Zukowski asked Mr. Roberts if he thought the freight mobility rating should
change, but Mr. Roberts answered no after hearing Mr. Perl ie's response.
Next, the team went around the table stating their recommendation and reasons
why. Mr. Roberts started first recommending alternative 1 due to improved
circulation in the north end of the city, safety and mobility. Mr. Basha stated he
wanted to make sure alternative 1 didn't have a fatal flaw in the natural
environment compared with alternative 2. Ms. Zukowski added the bog could
prove to be difficult to the permitting process. Both alternatives impact the bog
area, but alternative 2 has a higher impact. Mr. Perlic stated the bog would be
examined further as designing for the preferred alternative gets better defined.
Mr. Basha then chose alternative 1, but has reselVations about the bog being
permittable, possibly creating a fatal flaw. Mr. Basha also asked about future
meetings with the Recreation ConselVation Office (RCO) regarding 4(f) and 6(f)
issues. Ms. Zukowski answered that once an alternative was selected then work
would resume on the 4(f) and 6(f) process. Mr. Perlic added that the process
would involve establishing a mitigation plan with the COFW before moving
forward.
Ms. Vogler chose alternative 1. Her concerns, however, were how the Puyallup
tribe would react to the permitting process should alternative 1 be chosen. Ms.
Zukowski stated the Puyallup tribe requested a briefing after an alternative has
been chosen and that would happen in January 2009 to work through any issues
they may have. Mr. Smith chose alternative 1 based on how it will impact transit
and freeway operations. Mr. Hasselbach chose alternative 1 taking into
consideration Mr. Basha's environmental and permitting concerns and due to
improved traffic circulation. Mr. Sielbach chose alternative 1, but also with the
same permitting and environmental concerns previously mentioned. Mr.
Chestnut stated he is in favor of alternative 1 for some of the same reasons as
5
other team members, such as safety and improved circulation, but also because ,
of interchange spacing. There is more distance between alternative 1 and S
320th Street. Mr. Miller felt that travel time, safety, delays and level of selVice
would be most improved with alternative 1. He also stated that in regards to the
Purpose and Need for the project, alternative 1 is the best selection.
There was a unanimous consensus amongst the team to recommend alternative
1 as the preferred alternative.
Ms. . Zukowski then let the team know that they were welcome at the upcoming
stakeholder's team meeting, Friday, December 5th if they wanted to attend.
The meeting adjourned at 11:20am.

The Stakeholder group represents a wide and full range of interests and
expertise. That experience ranges from former City Council members, ex-City
Managers, City staff, Public Safety & Fire Department representatives, business
owners, private interest groups, and citizens.
SummarY:
The meeting commenced at 7:35am with the introductions of all attendees. Ms.
Zukowski opened the meeting by showing the team the first part of a Powerpoint
summary presentation, including photos, about the public open house on held on
November 12th. She added that not all the design visualizations are complete,
but the ones that are have been posted to the webpage. Traffic simulations
have also been added to the webpage. Ms. Hauge then reviewed the rest of the
open house summary regarding feedback and comments received from the
public about each alternative. Mr. Kaplan stated that some of the people he
spoke with at the open house were not aware that a bridge at S 312th Street was
already part of the city's comprehensive plan. Mr. Denckla asked if there were
other agency or city endorsements on a preferred alternative similar to the
endorsement received from South King Fire and Rescue supporting alternative 1.
Ms. Zukowski answered no other endorsements had been submitted.
Ms. Zukowski noted that a lot of members from the stakeholder's team were
present to help answer questions from the public and extended her thanks for
everyone's participation at the open house.
Mr. Perry asked if the total of the costs given for each alternative, $283 million
for alternative 1 and $279 million for alternative 2 reflected other costs of
construction such as engineering and rights of way. Mr. Kaplan agreed that
those costs should be a part of any final cost estimates. Mr. Perlic and Ms.
Zukowski answered that they did not, but those figures will be prepared for the
selected preferred alternative. Mr. Perlic distributed copies of those estimates to
the team for their review. Ms. Zukowski and Mr. Perlic added that cost could 'not
be considered a deciding factor in selecting an alternative per the state and
federal policies; environmental impacts were to be considered deciding factors.
Ms. Zukowski then asked the team to go around the table and give their opinion
on a preferred alternative. Mr. Ribary asked if a written selection would also be
necessary and Ms. Zukowski answered that it would not be required, but that it
was up to each person to make that decision and were welcomed to submit one
if they would like to do so.
Each team member was given a handout of three questions to consider when
selecting a preferred alternative prior to the meeting:
1. Do you agree with the process that we have provided for you for the
selection of a preferred alternative to be evaluated in a full Environmental
Assessment (EA) in the EA process?
2. Do you agree with the scoring and moving forward Alternative i-North
City (S 312th Street)?
3. Do you have any other issues or concerns that need to be provided for
formal documentation purposes and public presentation?
The following answers from the team were all stated in response to these
questions and are summarized in the same order.
Mr. Heinz started the team responses. His responses were as follows:
Yes, absolutely in support of the process. Yes in support of moving forward with
alternative 1. It doesn't come out clearly what the impacts will be to the Steel
Lake area in both alternatives. If they didn't occur with both alternatives, our
(Weyerhaeuser's) position might change in supporting alternative 1.
Weyerhaeuser supports recommending Alternative 1, primarily because of
transportation impacts. Alternative 2 would have positive impacts for
Weyerhaeuser, but would also include more traffic coming through the campus
and an arterial running through the campus. That said, Weyerhaeuser supports
alternative 1.
Mr. Griebenow's responses:
I definitely agree with the process. Yes, I agree with the scoring. There doesn't
seem to be an overwhelming response by the team to either alternative.
Alternative 1 seems to be the best and most direct access to the freeway for
residents on the west side of S 312th Street. Also,development on the north
side of the city center would be opened up for future opportunities. I would,
however, like to hear more points of view in reference to alternative 2. I ask the
question, is the outcome of either alternative worth nearly $300 million dollars?
Ught rail was not included in the rating and evaluation of either alternative as we
don't have information about the future of light rail at this time and I would like
to have learned how that would affect the city. My recommendation is for
alternative 1.
Mr. Denckla's responses:
I agree with the scoring. I support alternative 1. Belmor Park is a passive
community with immediate access to everything we need. We've witnessed bad
traffic, accidents and losses at the crosswalk outside Belmor. There are
emergency service vehicles coming in frequently and the less (additional) traffic
we have on S 324th Street, the better. We support alternative 1.
Mr. Kaplan's responses:
The process is fine and I support alternative 1, much to my surprise. I feel very
strongly that if alternative 1 is constructed, the City Of Federal Way must be
responsible for all the mitigation around the Steel Lake area. All the streets,
sidewalks, everything must be maintained by the city. Since the widening of S
312th street is already a part of the City Of Federal Way's comprehensive plan, it
makes sense to consider alternative 1 as a part of that since building that bridge. --_
has been on the city's books for over 50 years. I am very concerned that a
proper environmental assessment and more mitigation still need to be done. I
guess 111 be a part of that committee too.
Mr. Martindale's responses:
I support the process and support alternative 1. I am opposed to alternative 2
primarily because the purpose of the project is to alleviate traffic around the city
center, particularly on S 320th Street. I believe more people would do business
and shop in the city center if they would not have to fight the traffic congestion
on S 320th Street. Residents north of the city center have to either use the S
27tld Street exit or the S 320th Street exit and that puts unnecessary traffic
where it doesn't need to be, around the mall property. Alternative 1 would take
care of a lot of those issues. Also, more work would need to be done to S 324th
Street if alternative 2 was chosen and that would seriously impact the mall's
ability to perform effectively. I am not sure if either alternative is the best choice
because of the cost, but if one is going to be done, I am in support of alternative
1 and strongly opposed to alternative 2.
Mr. Hwang's response:
The process was good. The police department would like to focus on three
areas, managing crime, response times and collision rate. Neither alternative will
make a difference in managing crime. In terms of response time and having
east to west access, the S 324th Street alternative would best meet that need.
Collision rate is among our top five calls for service. Based on safety needs,
alternative 1 is better to manage traffic and reduce the numbers of collisions.
There would be more bottlenecks with alternative 2 is chosen. In terms of
response time, crime rate and collision rate, the police department is in favor of
alternative 1.
Mr. Ribary's response:
I agree with the process and have come to appreciate how complicated this part
of the process is. I am in favor of alternative 1. While the process is fine, I do
have issues with the criteria for the process not including visual impacts. It
should have been obvious alternative 2 is fatally flawed. As moving the power
lines along S 324th Street is prohibitively expensive, alternative 2 can not be
considered as a viable option. If we would have had both a preliminary planned
view and an elevation view at the same time, maybe we could have foreseen
some of the complications with the slope planned for alternative 1 sooner. I feel
closer to the community as a result of this process and think the city is doing a
responsible job.
Ms. Zukowski added she does have early drawings of the east side of 1-5, but
they are not yet ready for public viewing.
Ms. Paul's response:
The process is awesome but very complex. 1 wish more citizens would get
involved and better understand the process. 1 spend a lot of time explaining the
process to my friends and family and now they understand it better. One of my
biggest complaints is that other highway transportation projects were built
without vision. As soon as they are finished, they are obsolete. We really need
more vision as to what the city's needs will be in 25 years. In a perfect world, 1
would choose to build both options. 1 supported alternative 2 from the
beginning and still do, but also support alternative 1. It will only get more
expensive the longer we wait. 1 really think we should build both alternatives
regardless of cost. By the time one alternative is built, it will be obsolete upon
completion.
Ms. Zukowski stated that building both alternatives at one time was an original
option but is not at this time. It was eliminated because of the other
alternatives.
Mr. Perry's response:
The process is fine and the scoring is fine. I support alternative 1. The city
bridge at S 312th Street has to be communicated to the public as already being
part of the comprehensive plan. Alternative 1 would open the north side of the
city and we need another east-west route other than S 320th Street. We have
always supported the S 312th Street option for access to Lakehaven's water
mains. The cost is a lot of money and is this the best way to spend $300 million
dollars? That said 1 don't see another option for the city. 1 wish you luck.
Lakehaven supports alternative 1 versus alternative 2. The entire utility district
is valued at less than $300 million dollars, to put this into perspective.
Ms. Ascheman's response:
The process has been excellent. 1 live right off of S 312th Street. There are
older homes in the community and the responses 1 am hearing is from my older
neighbors is that they don't care as they won't be around at the time the new
alternative opens. They have to consider what will happen for their children and
grandchildren. I'd rather see a new alternative somewhere else, but it makes
sense if the money is available it should be built there (on S 312th Street). Cost
wise and common sense wise, 1 don't like it but support alternative 1.
When the team was finished Ms. Zukowski asked if anyone had any other
questions. Mr. Ribary asked if the city had $300 million dollars for the project
and how will funding happen. Ms. Zukowski answered that we needed to go
through the environmental process before asking for any funding and explained
the next steps in the process. She added that the cost for the entire project will
not come solely from the City of Federal Way. The intent is not to burden the
citizens with paying for this project.
Ms. Zukowski stated that this could be the last stakeholder's meeting. More
community briefings will be scheduled and the week of February 9th, 2009 is the
date of the next open house. She invited the team members to contact her if
they were interested in participating in coordinating that meeting. Team
members were also invited to come and audience future core team meetings as
well. Ms. Zukowski went on to say that another meeting could be set up before
the next open house to keep the team informed and further understand the
process.
Mr. Kaplan stated that citizen participation should be a part of the mitigation
process also.
Ms. Zukowski told the team their participation has been an important part of the
process and that everyone has done an excellent job and is receiving national
attention for their efforts. She asked if there was anything that could have been
done better, to please let her know.
The meeting adjourned at 8:45am

Federal Way City Center Access Study
Dear Mr. Roe:
The Federal Highway Administration (FHW A) would like to recognize the outstanding work
performed by the City of Federal Way on the City Center Access Study. Because of our
involvement in the process, the FHW A can say, with all honesty, that this project was one of the
most organized and best managed studies of this nature we've witnessed. FHW A is impressed
with the process that was followed, especially the public involvement portion.
The project team, managed by Maryanne Zukowski, did an amazin~job of balancing and
organizing all the information from two work groups. This project IS a great example of a
Context Sensitive Solutions approach. While it adhered to governmental regulations and polices,
it also took into consideration the public's concerns and desires.
Knowing this was one part of a larger process to get a final project built, the project team also
did an excellent job of incorporating other factors, such as the National Environmental Policy
Act and the FHW A Access Decision Point Policy.
This study is truly a great example of the results that can be achieved when you get the right
partners to the table and work cooperatively. However, it can't be done effectively without a
great manager and supporting team. So please congratulate your staff and CH2M Hill for a job
well done.
Sincerely,
~'f1L.~

Mr. Beets,
Let me first take the time to thank you and the City of Federal Way for inviting South
King Fire & Rescue to participate in the City Center Access project, Stakeholders
Committee. Our community can only benefit from the mutual respect and cooperation
developing between the City of Federal Way and its Fire Department. Maryanne
Zukowski has been a very patient leader while coordinating a committee made up of
persons with very diverse backgrounds, ideas and interests.
In addressing our preference of the three alternatives available for the City Center
Access, South King Fire & Rescue took into account traffic congestion, freeway access
points, response routes and response times to identify which of the alternatives best
suited emergency services for our community. In addition, the department is looking at
possible locations for a new training center and incorporafed available property sites
into our decision making process. With that said, South King Fire & Rescue would
prefer the choice of Alternative 1 with freeway on and off ramps located on a new
overpass at South 312th Street. This choice )Vould allow for a more rapid concentrated
response to the city center areas and cut response times to the neighborhoods east of
Interstate 5. Another eastlwest roadway crossing Interstate 5 would be a valuable tool
in our efforts to reach our citizens in need.
Again, we thank you for the opportunity to participate in this decision. Please let me
know if you have additional questions or ways that we can provide assistance.
Sincerely,
'-

Re: City Center Access Project
Dear Maryanne:
It has been a pleasure and a privilege to serve as a member of the Public Stake Holder Team for
the City Center Access Project. There was a great deal of hard work and careful thought that
went into this project culminating into what I feel is the right choice for additional access to and
from 1-5 for our City.
The final option that our stake holder group felt comfortable in recommending is A1temative 1,
which would run through Steel Lake Park',~romthe,.perspective of mall ownership, this is the
only alternative that we'feel we'Can supPOt1'ai'fd 'wtlotehe8rtedly agree with the stakeholder
group's recommendation;> '. '. : .
The other option that was considered, known as Alternative 2, would be at S 324th Street, which
in fad more or less borders the south property line of The Commons. Though it would seem that
mall ownership would embraCe the opportunity to have tr8ffic drop.right down into the mal, that is
actualy quite the contrary. We have serio.... concerns abOut..AAemative 2 as foUows:
. To add this ~altemative,'. S324th Street WOUld need to be widened which would
significantty impact the maIJproperty, (i) most probably necessitating the
relocation of the two detention ponds) on mall property, (ri)<YIOuld most likely
require a taking of a portion of the maHparldng lot threatening the mati's parking
ratios which are alreadyb8rely above the required level, (iii)would be nnpacted
by the BonnlVlllePower easement that parallels the mall's!SC)uthem border, (iv)
would seriou~ impact traffic to the trailer park (mostly OCCUpied by seniorS)
south of S 324 Street adjacent the existing. park and ride... ',. .., .... ,. ." '.. ..'
. It is our understanding that the reason for the City Center ACC$SSproj8d was to

Re: City Center Access

above, it is our feeling that Alternative 1 will also take a noticeable amount of non essential
(commuter) traffic off of S 320lh Street and surrounding streets and redirect it to the north at S
312th Street. The commuters will like another option for access, which should speed up their
commute and those wanting to conduct business or shop in the ceo will be able to do so with
less congestion. This would be a win- win for all concerned.
We trust that the Core Team will agree with the Public Stake Holder Team's recommendation and
proceed with their endorsement of Alternative 1 to the Federal Way City Council.

Re: City Center Access Project
Good Day.!
Both management and residents of Belmor Park urge you to approve the plan for this access to
be constructed at S. 31th Street. If the S. 324th Street plan was constructed, it would further
congesfour access to and egress from Belmor Park. There are times that we have to wait as long
as five minutes to enter or leave our property due to excess traffic at this time and the addition of
more traffic would be overwhelming to our lives. ill addition, the proposed plan for the S. 324th
Street route would eliminate three or four senior families' homes. Affordable senior housing is
short and should be protected at all cost.
We urge you to move forward with the project at the' 31th site as was the consensus of those on
the Public Stakeholder Team who researched the pros and cons of the project. They did a good
job and I trust that you will follow their lead, see the advantage of the 312th access and approve
construction at that location.

Subject: City Center Access Project
Dear Neil;
Lakehaven Utility District has been an active member ofthe City Center Access Project
Public Stakeholder Team since the City Center Access Project began in 2003. The Public
Stakeholder Team was formed as an advisory group to provide input to the City Council
regarding safety and access issues associated with alternative locations for entry to the
City Center . We believe that our community can benefit greatly from the mutual
planning for future infrastructure needs in this vital area and thank the City for the
opportunity to participate.
After evaluating the three alternatives proposed for access to the City Center,
Lakehaven agrees with the consensus of the advisory team to move forward on Alternate
I: North City Center access at S. 31ih Street. We believe Alternate I is consistent with
our overall utility requirements and will minimize the impact to current and future
infrastructure within the local area. Alternate II impacts both the District's existing
facilities and future infrastructure plans significantly.
Again, we thank: you for the opportunity to participate in this decision. Please call Don
Perry at 253-946-5405 if you have additional questions or seek additional assistance.
Sincerely,

Federal Way 1-5 City Center Access Project
Maryanne,
Thank you for the opportunity to recap in writing, my comments on this subject at our last Public Stakeholder meeting. I
am impressed with the diligence being devoted to ensuring public input is received and incorporated into the decision
process.
Comments that follow represent my personal thoughts. They do not represent an official Weyerhaeuser position or
statement because I did not assemble Weyerhaeuser leadership to develop and approve an official position and
statement. My thoughts noted below are based on informal conversation with a number of Weyerhaeuser leaders
knowledgeable about this project and Weyerhaeuser's Federal Way campus.
Overall, we believe both options are needed and will significantly improve traffic on 320th for all who drive in thatarea.
Regarding Weyerhaeuser specifically, we believe both will provide traffic improvement to our campus employees and
visitors, but for different reasons: North due to offloading traffic on arterials that will movenon-Weyerhaeuser traffic away
from 320th and Weyerhaeuser; South because it will provide very direct access to I from 1-5 and our campus.
Considering from a perspective of "what is best for the general public" we feel the North alternative is best, because
although it will affect a small number of homeowners and the Steele Lake Park roadway, these negative impacts appear
to be much less significant than the South Alternative impact on homeowners.
We are aware of the various consulting and other analyses that suggest the North Alternative is somewhat more effective
at addressing the anticipated future traffic volumes than the South Alternative. We also note that an overpass on 314th,
along with widening of 314th is already planned as a separate project, so - much of the negative impact to the public from
the North Alternative is not really from the North Alternative, it is from another project. Thus the true impact of the North
Alternative appears to be significantly less than that of the South Alternative, and the benefit greater.
We are concerned that while 1-5 freeway access to I from our campus will be improved, the overall traffic impact to our
campus employees and visitors will be significantly negative, due to expansion of 32nd Avenue, addition of a roundabout
right in the middle of our East Campus complex, and - due to the direct connection to a new 15 entrance I exit from the
above roadway areas.
Last, we understand most other impacts, while different, are not significantly different enough between alternatives, to be
instrumental to a decision.
Summary, we believe the North Alternative will do a better job of addressing the transportation issues, with less negative
impact to both the public and Weyerhaeuser. For these reasons, we recommend (and if voting, we would vote for) the
North Alternative.
Thanks again for the opportunity to give input. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Dear Gentlemen:
The City of Federal Way held an open house on February 3, 2005, for the public to review
the two remaining options to improve transportation access to Federal Way's city center.
Weyerhaeuser would like to respond to the City Center Access Study Team and the City of
Federal Way on how those options will impact the company's campus.
We believe the South 324th Street bridge crossing option would significantly increase
traffic on Weyerhaeuser Way South, particularly during peak commute hours.
Additionally, the traffic flow would end at 32nd Avenue South or Weyerhaeuser Way
South, which will require traffic to merge on to 320th or 336th. These streets already are
overcrowded. This option would take fewer vehicles off of South 320th, would also require
use of some part ofWeyerhaeuser's property behind the company's technology center, and
would disrupt our walking trails, all of which is a concern to us.
In our view, the South 31 ih street option provides the potential to enhance a street grid that
can eventually connect to Hi~hway 167. Traffic moving south from Seattle could exit at
Sou$. 312th or the Sou~ 317t car pool lane, taking veh~c1es offofl~5 prior to reaching
South. 320thwhere the City Center Access Study Team Improvements are targeted.
We appreciate your consideration ofWeyerhaeuser's concerns. Please feel free to contact
lan Gibson, Weyerhaeuser Facilities Director, at 924-4442 if you have any questions or
concerns.

Dear Senators Murray and Cantwell and Congressman Smith:
On behalf of the Puget Sound Regional Council I am writing to encourage consideration of the
City of Federal Way's 2010 federal funding requests to address capital infrastructure needs and
aid our local economy.
Federal Way is building partnerships with the local community, the state and the federal
government. With your help, the city will be able to obtain federal funding of$3.2 million that
can be invested in the City Center Access Project, Phase 3. This project is important to helping to
move overall regional economy, and it is consistent with the region's growth strategy and
transportation planning. Partnering in support of this project will complete a major transportation
and economic development initiative for Federal Way, which is important to the wider region.
Working in partnership with the people of Federal Way and the rest of the region, the city is
creating a vision and strategy that not only attends to community needs today, but is also
building a foundation for the future.
Thank you for your consideration of this important federal funding request.
Sincerely,
~~~~

Project Partners: Federal Highway Administration, Washington State Department of
Transportation, King County Road Services Division, King County METRO, Pierce
Transit, Sound Transit, Puget Sound Regional Council, City of Federal Way Public
Stakeholder Team
Overview
The third open house for Phase II of the City Center Access Project was held on Wednesday,
February 11, 2009, from 4 to 7 p.rn. at Truman High School. A presentation was offered at 5:30
p.rn. with an opportunity for questions at the close of the presentation. Approximately 103
community members attended the open house to learn more about the project, review and
comment on the information shared, and ask questions of the project team.
The purpose of this open house was to present the recommendation for a preferred alternative
and share new visual simulations of proposed future improvements. The project team also
provided information on plans to comply with the Section 4(f) and 6(f) requirements for any
potential use or conversion of park property associated with project improvements and
encouraged comment on the de minimus process and preliminary finding. Other public meetings
for the project during Phase II included the Public and Agency Scoping open house on April 9,
2008, an open house on November 12,2008 as well as briefings with community and
neighborhood associations. The project's Public Stakeholder team also meets on an ongoing
basis to advise the project from a community perspective.
At the February 11th open house, attendees were asked to sign in upon arrival and then received
a guide to the open house and comment form, as well as Title VI forms. Display boards were
arranged in stations around the room and project team members were assigned to specific
stations to provide details and answer specific questions. The display boards included information
on the project alternatives, screening process and preferred alternative recommendation, traffic
analysis results and simulations, key environmental findings and the Section 4(f) and 6(f)
process. In addition there was a Design Visualization and detailed maps for each of the build
alternatives. Open house attendees had the opportunity to provide comment via comment forms,
or by talking with a member the project team. In addition, the public could provide comments by
email.mail. or the project hotline.
To advertise the event to both interested parties and a wide array of Federal Way residents, the.
City of Federal Way mailed newsletters with open house announcements, issued two press
releases, distributed e-mail invitations, issued display ads in area newspapers, placed posters
and newsletters at key community locations, posted signs and variable message boards around
the city and announced the meeting on the city and Washington State Department of
Transportation Web page.
The following highlights the advertising efforts and feedback received. Verbatim public comment
follows as received by individuals.

COMMENT HIGHUGHTS
The following is an overview of the 44 public comments received between February 11th and
1 ih. While a full record of verbatim comments is provided in Appendix A. this section lists the
common themes, divergent points of interest, as well as new ideas by topic. Direct quotes from
interested parties are italicized to highlight the tone of the comments.
Pedestrian safety
. Concern for gang activity and crime in proposed underpass area.
. Increased traffic volumes on 31ih St. are dangerous to pedestrians near Steel lake Park
and on surrounding residential streets
. Support for improved sidewalks, bike lanes and safe pedestrian crossing.
· "If it is chosen we need a tunnel for safe crossing access to streets from
neighborhoods. ..
· "I am very pleased that All. 1 is the preferred alternative! It will improve public
safety, improve 31th with sidewalks and bike lanes and a safe crossing, which
does not currently exist. "
Section 4(t) & 6(t) Options
. Support for pedestrian undercrossing option.
· "I would prefer options C or 0 for routing pedestrians under the 31 th roadway to
minimize injuries and maximize traffic flow. "
. "Of the pedestrian management plans using 31 th plan c or d (especially 0) are
much safer and would facilitate traffic flow while minimizing pedestrian injuries. "
Alternatives
. Provide more information on the pros and cons of each alternative and why Alternative
#1 is the preliminary preferred alternative.
. Alternatives may relieve freeway congestion but just lead to congested arterials.
. Mixed opinions on best option to improve access to Federal Way City Center.
o . 'Traffic from freeway onto S 324th (Alternative 2) would lead people right to the
commons mall, where they need the business, better for the city. "
· "I feel that we would get better access with #2-i.e. Park and ride, Commons,
Celebration Park and Hwy 99 to the west and east of 1-5 would have better
access to Weyerhaeuser and the other businesse~ east of 1-5.
· "I don't agree with the 31 t" plan at all. To destroy our park and put our children's
lives in danger. Kids will not use the cross walks! How about the impact on the
lake and neighborhoods. "
· "Option #1 most aggressively appeases impact to larger community. "
· "I do feel for the residents west of the proposed interchange, but mobility needs
to be increased into the city. "
· "Alt. 1 will move traffic from Tacoma and Military Rd to City Center!"
· "As one who lives on 2ffh Ave and 311th St, I'm not particularly thrilled with the
notion that the next blocks is going to become a heavily used freeway exit-
although it may prove convenient to me for freeway access. Both alternatives
appear to include 31 t" St, so there isn't much I can say about it."
· "I support both alternatives build both so the project is not obsolete at the grand
opening. "
· "Alternative # 2 provides two bridges over 1-5, one at South 312th and the bridge
interchange at South 324th providing more relief to South 320th. It lessens the
impact on our Steele Lake Park and neighborhoods on either side of 1-5, provides
another route to the large Park and Ride lot, better access to Celebration Park,
The Commons, the other businesses near our City Hall, and provides another
alternative to businesses that are in and around the Weyerhaeuser complex. "
Traffic
· Area residents concerned about increased traffic through neighborhoods near 312th
Street.
· "Keep traffic and commercial areas away from parks and residential areas. "
· "I do not like the idea of more traffic affecting my ability to tum east on 31 i" (take
a left). "
· Several attendees inquired about proposed traffic lights and additional transportation
improvements.
· "We need more yellow turn lights on our intersections like there is on 31 t" /Pac
Hwy. It is especially needed at the intersection tum (with) the oriental garden and
the high school and 304th St."
· Look at other options to improve traffic flow (i. e. bus pull-outs, bicycle barriers and
synchronized lights).
· Keep traffic limited to commercial areas (i.e. 324th Alternative).
Environmental
· Opposition to 31ih Street alternative due to impacts to Steel Lake Park.
· Concern regarding impacts to air quality and wetlands.
· Pleased that a minor design change to Alternative #1 resulted in avoiding impacts to bog
wetland.
Public Process
· The City should hold a public vote to determine the best alternative.
· Give greater consideration to concerns of surrounding neighbors to the park.
· Area residents wanted to receive greater notification of project meetings and activities.
· "I think most the public was not aware of the process as it was taking place. "
Property Impacts
· Concern regarding impacts to property value and neighborhood quality.
· "The cost and impact to the 10 homes on South 31i" Street would be much
lower with realignment to the north only impacting 1 home"
· We have been improving our condo units over the last 1 0 years by adding
special assessments.. .totally around 2 million dollars.... The north Alt. will bring in
more loud traffic and crime. "
Parking
· Concern for loss of parking at Steel Lake Park.
· Increase in parking on residential streets.
· Request for a parking garage to accommodate Steel Lake Park visitors.
Other
· Concern that selection of preferred alternative is pre-determined,
· Population growth assumptions may need to change given economic climate,
OTHER COMMENTS/QUESTIONS
The following comments were written on a flip chart near the comment station:
· I would prefer plan 2 - the off ramp south of the mall rather than routing traffic through
our only lake park in Federal Way. - Susan Pearson
· Of the pedestrian management plans using 31ih plan cor d (especially D) are much
safer and would facilitate traffic flow while minimizing pedestrian injuries.
· Go to the no build (no change) option. There will be too much traffic at Steel Lake Park.
The transportation delay times are not so important as a livable city and we need a good
park and Steel Lake.
Open house attendees also had the opportunity to ask questions of the project team following the
5:30 p.rn. presentation. The questions asked after the presentation are listed below to highlight
areas of interest.
· How much will the project cost? Will property taxes increase?
· Will the widening affect the skate park?
· What type of mitigation is being considered for neighborhoods on the east side of 1-5 due
to increased traffic? It makes more sense to put the access ramp in a commercial area.
· What will happen when cars exiting at 312th St. reach Highway 99 South and other cross
streets? Will traffic lights be installed? People will cut through the residential areas.
· How many cars/day do you anticipate using 312th?
· People park on 31ih St. to use Steel Lake Park. There is a significant parking deficiency.
Are there plans to correct traffic circulation around the park?
· People use both sides of the park. Will there be a pedestrian bridge to connect the park?
· Where will 312th St improvements end? At Military Rd.?
· Are there plans to widen Military Rd?
· Did I hear correctly that there is currently no parking on 312th? If so, the law is not
enforced.
· Are there plans for a stoplight at 31ih St and 28th Ave? Existing and future traffic on 28th
Ave creates problems with access in and out of my driveway.
· What property will be bought to mitigate loss of Steel Lake Park? I think some of the
options affect my house.
· Steel Lake is the most versatile park in Federal Way - why would you put a major
thoroughfare through the park?
· People will continue to park in front of adjacent residences to Steel Lake, especially if you
get rid of side street parking.
· Why dump all traffic onto Military Rd.?
· What are the plans to use the property around the transit center?
· I would like to know more about the plans for accommodating pedestrians and bicyclists.
Appendix A: Verbatim Comments
No Freeway ramps at 312th. What makes cars slow down? Pedestrians, buses and bicycles. So let's
reduce pedestrians, buses and bicycles to improve traffic flow. Let's build sidewalk barriers to improve
traffic flow. Let's give the right of way to vehicles to improve traffic flow. Let's reduce crosswalk use to
improve traffic flow. Let's build and enforce bus pullouts to improve traffic flow. Let's build bicycle barriers
and enforce speed limits to improve traffic flow. Let's synchronize lights to improve traffic flow. Let's stop
wasting time, energy, resources and money before we build freeway ramps to our residential driveways. I
am willing to volunteer! Please contact me.

1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
I do not like Alternative #1. I feel that we would get better access with #2 i.e. Park and ride. Commons,
Celebration park, and Hwy 99 to the west and east of 1-5 would have better access to Weyerhaeuser and
the other businesses east of 1-5. Also it would integrate the existing ramps of the S. 320th interchange.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred Alternative.
I like the 31ih bridge over 1-5 without the on/off ramp there.
3. Do you have any comments regarding the section 4f and 6f processes and preliminary
findings?
The only concern I have for Steel Lake Park is pedestrian safety.
Name: Gordon Elley
1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
Alt. #1 North 312th too much traffic dumped on 312th endangering park attendees, loss of park usage,
parking - a mess. I do not think enough planning has been taken, at least from answers given today.
Freeway access/exist should be located @ and to travel on 324th St. Put an underpass @ elderly trailer
park. Traffic from freeway onto S 324th would lead people right to the commons mall, where they need the
business, better for the city.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred Alternative.
Put in on S 324th.
3. Do you have any comments regarding the section 4f and 6f processes and preliminary
findings?
Presenters did not appear to know the information they should, especially when they know they will be
faced with questions from the effected.

1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
No on Alternative 1 -(S 31ih St) Ok on Alternative 2 - (S 324th St)
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred Alternative.
What's there to say? Make a great "jewel" area of the city a traffic alternative? I say No! It seems to be a
no-brainer to choose a location with no water feature and little, if any pedestrian traffic.
4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
I was told at a previous meeting that this is all because the "mdp" from 1950-something shows a 31ih
overpass - sO..maps and times change!! I bet the commons wasn't on an early map of Federal Way...or
the Transit Center... or Truman High School where we are meeting... or...
Name: Debbie O'Neal
1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
Don't like the way it was handled with no public vote. Unfair to current residents definitely impacted by
your decision. I was never notified of your meetings with Steel Lake homeowners. Many residents were
not informed.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred Alternative.
Will need stop lights on 28th entrance and exit to Steel Lake Park. Fire lane access between 2200 at Park
exit will be used much more and damage "quiet" residential street of 30ath street. Five lane is already
improperly used. "Underpass" for pedestrian crossing will cause increase in crime and gang presence.
Park as is needs increased enforcement by police department which already is short on man power.
Name: Carol Otto
1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
There was no alternative. The presentation was focused on the 31ih street only. The speakers talked as
if that is a done deal.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred Alternative.
It was talked about as if it was preferred. It was talked about as if it was the only.
4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
The sidewalk ideas won't help at all. The kids will J-walk because they're kids and the undertunnel will
cause people to get raped or mugged because of the bad types of people already hanging around the
skatepark.
Name: Anonymous
1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
Not enough information is provided on the pro's and con's of each alternative. Very little information was
provided on why Alt. 1 was chosen.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred Alternative.
I live on 22"d Ave South. I do not like the idea of more traffic affecting my ability to turn east on 31ih (take
a left). In regards to Steel Lake Park I could care less that Alt. 1 will take a tiny strip-those trees are ugly
anyway. So long as you do NOT increase my property tax I'd go so for Alt. 1 just to spite everyone else
who wants Alt 2. I also would like the benefit of quick freeway access that way I could get rid of my
mannequin-however I still might put her in my car every now and then for "old times sake" Bottom Line -
Do whatever the hell you want so long as it does not cost me tax money. If you charge me for it then I am
an advocate for Nothing.

1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
I don't think that the comment and concerns of the surrounding neighbors of the park were given due
consideration.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred Alternative.
We don't like it but it is chosen we need a tunnel for safe crossing access to streets from neighborhoods.
3. Do you have any comments regarding the section 4f and 6f processes and preliminary
findings?
You can't replace what you are taking away.
4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
Keep traffic and commercial areas away from parks and residential areas.

1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
Same as before.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred Alternative.
Same as before-I support both altematives build both so the project is not obsolete @ the grand
opening.
3. Do you have any comments regarding the section 4f and 6f processes and preliminary
findings?
Same as before.

1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
I think minds were made up before the screening even took place.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred Alternative.
We were told there would be an additional 10,000 cars a day using an expanded 312th. To cut Steel Lake
Park in half with that many cars is irresponsible.
4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
If Federal Way is estimated to have 100,000 people by 2020, a major road through a fark that will have
additional usage doesn't make sense. Do any of the decisions makers live in the 312' area?
Name: Anonymous
1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
I am very pleased that Alt. 1 is the preferred alternative! It will improve public safety, improve 312'h with
sidewalks and bike lanes and a safe crossing, which does not currently exist. Kids currently have no
crossing or sidewalks along 312'h! All. 1 will move traffic from Tacoma and Military Rd to City Center!
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred Alternative.
I like "Option Dn access to the park for several reasons: It provides nice wide pedestrian path with cars, so
pedestrians don't have to walk under alone. In other words, drivers can help monitor pedestrian activity
and help keep kids safe. Eliminates a traffic light that would otherwise stop 312th traffic. Very nicely joins
a currently disjointed park!
3. Do you have any comments regarding the section 4f and 6f processes and preliminary
findings?
Not real clear in the questionnaire what these are. Might need to be more clearly spelled out in future
"comment forms. n
4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
I am very pleased to hear that a minor design change to Alt. 1 was done to save the bog wetland. Alt 1 is
by far the best option for the future of Federal Way!

1.What do you think about the alternative screening results?
I think that alternative #2 makes much more sense. How much does Weyerhaeuser have to do this. They
don't want it, they pay big bucks to the City -the + for Alt. 2 vs. ++ for Alternative #1 seems backward -
cost is less for 2.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred alternative.
I think it is weighed towards Alt. #1 by reasons that are political because it makes sense why #1 is
preferred over #2!
3. Do you have any comments regarding the section 4f and 6f processes and preliminary
findings?
Buying property? This hurts the whole area and property values. #2 does much less to impact homes,
parks, etc. Quality of life.
4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
When it costs less, impacts less. Why would we go with #1? Go with the commercial side - listen to the
people that live around that area.

1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
As one who lives on 26th and 311th, I'm not particularly thrilled with the notion that the next blocks is going
to become a heavily used freeway exit -although it may prove convenient to me for freeway access. Both
alternatives appear to include 312th, so there isn't much I can say about it.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred alternative.
Unless there are improvements in the flow at 31zth/Pac Hwy and 320/Pac Hwy, these alternatives will
work for getting cars off of 1-5, but only to have the congest off-freeway. It seems that the whole
transportation plan is to have speedy freeways but congested arterials. You're just delaying the frustration
factor by 5 minutes.
4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
The growth assumptions are based on continued population growth because of an economic bull market.
Should this bear market prove to be a full-fledged depression that lasts for 2 to 7 years, such projections
will be erroneous. As it iSh the only businesses thriving in our city are poverty stores such s the Dollar
Store and Wal-Mart. 31zt by Pac Hwy is already ghetto-like. How will that be improved with this road
expansion? We need sidewalks on our streets- not just on 31zth!!
We need more yellow turn lights on our intersections like there is on 31zth/Pac hwy. It is especially
needed at the intersection turn oriental garden and the high school and 304th.

4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
Please do the traffic impact studies on the impacts to the smaller, local residential access streets the little
grid roads. And please explain the traffic calming/mitigation measures to keep car traffic on the "main-
arterials" .

I think most the public was not aware of the process as it was taking place. Time for comments is pretty
well passed. The decision has already been made.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred alternative.
I've heard all the facts (?) and I still believe that a freeway exit will endanger Steel Lake Park and its
users. All side streets will be highly impacted and there is no way that will be mitigated.
3. Do you have any comments regarding the section 4f and 6f processes and preliminary
findings?
What about wetlands at west end of the lake where water goes out? Could city purchase that to save
more of the lake?
4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
Has air quality been addressed in any real way? The park is the "jewel" of the community as agreed by
your spokesperson. How can you take any chances of destroying it?

Shocked -I am shocked! I can't believe Fed Way would alter the only "Oasis" the city has! This makes no

Plan #2 makes much more sense? There is no Lake at 324th!

Leave the park alone! Why fix something that doesn't need to be fixed? (Or tampered with)

Ms. Zukowski is very rude! I was appalled with her lack of attention to our concerns! Everyone wants the

asked! Unbelievable! Ms. Z is rude! She is arroQant! Who is she anyway? Rather...who does she think
she is?

I think that the alternatives should have been put up for vote. The city of Seattle did the same with A'\MI
options.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred alternative.
I like the alternative. As a commuter to Military Rd. S, I feel that this will give me more options to get home
and avoid the long delays on the SB 1-5 offramp to 320th.
4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
I do feel for the residents west of the proposed interchange, but mobility needs to be increased into the

I don't agree with the 312th plan at all. To destroy our park and put our children's lives in danger. Kids will
not use the cross walks!! How about the impact on the lake and neighborhoods.

Leave our park alone. It's the peoples not yours. How much money are you getting for this idea.

Well I think you should use the 31]'h exit and the 320th exit as do to the park and schools and elderly
home won't be impacted then.

I do not think alternative #2 impacts people, park activities, etc. as much as Steel Lake Park. Why not
keep traffic in a commercial area.

#2 is the "people's" choice clearly. Please hear that!

We like our park just the way it is. Why move park property when the established property is preferred.

You need to put the ramp at 288th. Don't dump all the traffic in 8 blocks, 312, 317, 320!
Why ruin a lovely park and surrounding homes with this poorly thought out plan. You need to go back ot
the drawing board.

If the council decides to go through the park I would prefer options C or D for routing pedestrians under
the 31ih roadway to minimize injuries and maximize traffic flow. Please let us know of all meetings
where we will have an opportunity to say what we want.
Name: John and Susan Pearson
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred alternative.
I think we should drop the project and go back to no build. The change in transportation times is not worth
ruining Steel Lake Park's atmosphere. Aren't we supposed to be encouraging public transportation over
individual cars? When I look at a 4 or 5 lane road on 31ih, with or without a pedestrian tunnel (which will
be a real crime draw) I feel that building the road exits at 312th is a mistake and that it should be left
alone.
3. Do you have any comments regarding the section 4f and 6f processes and preliminary
findings?
Since it looks like the land on the S. side of 31ih at Steel Lake Park is partial wetland, it probably doesn't
matter which alternative site you choose. But hopefully, the alternate site will be usable for recreation or,
in an area where there is not already a lot of open space. You need to "spread" open space out around
the city.

Interested in traffic, noise, etc. on Military Rd north of 312th and details of Alt. 1 development.

They are interesting however there is not that much time changed in the commute from the north or south
alternative.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred alternative.
We live in Chelsea Court Condos on 31 th and would not like the North Alternative. We have been
improving our units over the last 10 years by adding special assessments onto our units totally around 2
million dollars. Each unit over (100 units) has paid an additional $10,000 to improve our condos. The
north Alt. will bring in more loud traffic and crime. Please do not build the North Alt. We vote for the South.
You may contact Targa Real Estate. Michael P. he can give you exact #'s. We just resided, painted, new
roof, etc. this year. Please do not let our money go to waste. It is a nice neighborhood now that we have
been cleaning it up.

City Center Access Project 2/11/09
We live on the east side of 1-5 on South 312th Street. Please change the alignment of proposed South
31ih Street to behind our houses to the north of the existing South 312th Street right of way. This would
avoid the city having to purchasing our 5 homes and partial right of way purchases of 5 other homes on
South 31ih Street. There would be less cost for the right of way because it is vacant land with only 1
older home. This alignment would have better line of sight on Military Road than South 31ih Street at
Military Road. South 31ih Street could be opened up back to 32"d Ave. South instead of out to Military
Road. The owner said he wants to sell all three parcels and his home. The cost and impact to the 10
homes on South 312th Street would be much lower with realignment to the north only impacting 1 home
that wants to sell anyway. It seems like a no brainer. Please save our neighborhood.

Alt. #1 put traffic to and from 1-5 underground past Steel Lake Park. Local traffic to the park and 28th on

graffiti danger of foot traffic tunnel.

unreasonable environmental impact! Mitigation efforts are futile.

1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
The people who live east of 1-5 in unincorporated King County will be shouldering the burden of this
project. Don't put on/off ramps @ 312th. Leave the intersection or interchanges out of the neighborhood
and build it on 324th closer to Weyerhaeuser and all of those businesses.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred alternative.
Don't approve Alt. 1. It provides only 1 bridge or additional access point into the City of Federal Way. Alt.
2 provides 2 access points into the city. Don't let Weyerhaeuser push you into Alt. 1. What about the
transient problems we have near our on/off ramps? (Pan handlers)

1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
I would like to see a public poll on the number of folks in favor of each. It sounds like there are a lot of
folks opposed to 31ih. This sounds like there are a lot of folks opposed to 312th. This sounds like a poor
plan for accommodating parking at Steel Lake.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred alternative.
Dash pt Rd. 31ifi backs up badly at rush hour and would need to be improved for traffic flow. Also, a trust
would need to be put up for impact to Mirror Lake which currently as a private park cannot access public
funds.
3. Do you have any comments regarding the section 4f and 6f processes and preliminary
findings?
Do not any options A-D as I believe a traffic light is needed.
4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
Option 2 looks like a seamless option, easy to implement with less impact to current residences. Why was
this dismissed in favor of Option 1???
Name: Anonymous
1. What do you think about the alternative screening results?
I think option 2 is the best option - Steel Lake Park is the jewel of Federal Way. The 1st option destroys
the area around the park by creating massive traffic around the lake and dumping all kinds of traffic into
neighborhoods on both sides of the express way.
2. Please share your input regarding the preliminary preferred alternative.
Its crap -Weyerhaeuser obviously influenced the City's decision in order to avoid having the exit close to
their land - when have you ever seen a main exit from the expressway that dumps traffic into
neighborhoods of houses.
3. Do you have any comments regarding the section 4f and 6f processes and preliminary
findings?
No. how could the #1 be the favorite option when almost everyone at the open house is upset and
horrified by the prospect of the horrible impacts to Park and the City this will have.
4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
Why isn't there a more appropriate exit around 336 - Look at exits everywhere they don't dump traffic into
neighborhoods like option 1 does. 316th absolutely should be turned into a dead end street at 32nd street
or else there will be a constant stream of traffic cutting through the neighborhood. 316th is an undeveloped
road with a blind curve right next to our house, it can't handle a lot of traffic.

4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
Storm water issues and the field running from 312th to the lake is chronically flooded now because of poor
drainage. Will expanding 31ih exacerbate the problem? There is also a lot of water flow from the ball field
down to the parking lot.

4. Please share any additional thoughts or concerns.
City/State must take into account needs of larger community.

Flip Chart Notes
· I would prefer plan 2 - the off ramp south of the mall rather than routing traffic through our only
lake park in Federal Way. - Susan Pearson
. Of the pedestrian management plans using 312th plan cor d (especially D) are much safer and
would facilitate traffic flow while minimizing pedestrian injuries.
. Go to the no build (no change) option. There will be too much traffic at Steel Lake Park. The
transportation delay times are not so important as a livable city and we need a good park and
Steel Lake.
Electronic Comments
Maryanne - Thank you for the presentation and displays you provided at last nights public meeting, we
found it very interesting and agree that North City Alternative #1 looks to be the best choice. Today we
went to Steel Lake Park to observe the area of change and have the following question. - Thanks, Pete &
Kathy Stobart
Why don't we take advantage of the natural valley, between 23rd and 28th Avenues, in which most of
Steel Lake Park exists. If the new 312th were to bridge between 23rd and 28th Avenues we would gain a
number of advantages. The new 312th could also maintain a common level between 23rd & 28th
Avenues without restricting anyone's view. I expect it would cost more to build the bridge but the benefits
are real.
- The 'under bridge' part of the existing 312th would become part of the park and offer the following
benefits, and solve a number of the questions we heard last night.
- There would be a small increase in the size of the park.
- Both sides of the park would be joined into a single contiguous whole.
- The area could provide space for additional parking helping alleviate parking problems both inside
and outside ofthe park.
- Natural traffic and pedestrian underpass options would become available.
- Park pedestrian traffic would not be exposed to the traffic flow along the new 312th.
- etc.

Dear Council,
I attended the open house for the Access Federal Way project tonight and am convinced that Alternative
#1 is a BAD alternative. It only provides the city with one additional option to enter the city and that is
South 312th Street bridge and interchange.
Alternative # 2 provides two bridges over 1-5, one at South 312th and the bridge interchange at South
324th providing more relief to South 320th. It lessens the impact on our Steele Lake Park and
neighborhoods on either side of 1-5, provides another route to the large Park and Ride lot, better access
to Celebration Park, The Commons, the other businesses near our City Hall, and provides another
alternative to businesses that are in and around the Weyerhaeuser complex.
Currently, for the businesses that are off of SR18 and Weyerhaeuser Way interchange the only option
for patrons is SR 18. The new 324th interchange proposal would give drivers another viable option to
enter our city core or get to their place of work easier.
I hope that Weyerhaeuser's influence does not force you one way or the other on making this decision.
This is a great opportunity for our city and I hope that we choose the best option for the right reasons.
