BUSINESS ITEMS
Urban Forest Health
Chris Carrel gave a powerpoint presentation on Urban Forest Health. He stated that this is a slow growing
emergency in our forests. They have found that when we let nature take care of itself we are running into problems
with our forests. Our forests are aging and we have a poor quantity of conifers and a lack of conifer seed sources.
There is also a big problem with invasive plant species. The worst is English Ivy. The ivy climbs up the tree and
strangles it. The ivy also smothers out native species in the forest_ Another significant invasive plant species is the
Himalayan Blackberry. This dominates in open areas and prevents the native plants from re- growing. Once invasive
species are established in the forest, they begin to topple trees, and displace them. Forests are good for passive
recreation and for neighborhoods, they're important for reducing greenhouse gases, and provide natural stormwater
management functions. Friends of the Hylebos have a forest health plan for the West Hylebos. This plan assesses
forests health. The West Hylebos Wetlands is in good health, it has a low level of invasive species. Approximately
10% of the park will require control of the invasive species and replanting of native trees. Using the health plan they
have completed about $80,000 in restoration work. The City has provided $30,000 over the past three years. They
have been able to leverage that $30,000 and tripled it by bringing in $90,000 in additional outside funds for forest
health work. They also have 332 volunteers that contributed $38,000 in volunteer labor. There is about $200,000 m
management actions left to conduct over the next five years. They are working on securing the funding sources to do
that. Over the past four months they have been doing some preliminary assessments on other forests in Federal Way.
There is approximately 1,000 acres of forest m Federal Way. They looked a four specific parks 1) Poverty Bay 2)
Dumas Bay Wildlife Preserve 3) Dash Point State Park and 4) Celebration Park. Dumas Bay Park is facing some
critical issues. 25 -75% of the ground area was invaded with ivy. 50 -75% of the area the trees were invaded by ivy.
The forest is dominated in deciduous species that are in decline. There is not any conifer regeneration; this is a
forest that is in a downward spiral. The problem is too big for any one agency. This will require energizing different
segments of the community, leveraging resources and partnerships and outside funding. The Dumas Bay Forest
Health Pilot Project will be introduced in December. They are going to address the most critical infestation of ivy
and save the trees. They will be in the community organizing volunteers and creating an awareness of the issue.
Interim City Manager Wilson thanked Mr. Carrel for his work. He has been very responsive to questions, and has
been very efficient and effective in the use of the funds. We need to get a handle on how big of a problem this is,
and have a plan of action.

Tuesday November 10, 2009 Summary
Page 2
Federal Way Community Center Agreement to Use as Dormitory Shelter
Mr. Gross stated that the primary mission of the Howard Hanson Dam was flood control for the green river. It was
built in the early 1960's. With the January 2009 severe weather event the Howard Hanson Dam held back a
substantial amount of water. After the event the Army Corps of Engineers found some substantial problems with the
dam. They continued to do some testing and discovered that the amount of water seepage has increased in both
volume and speed. Until there is a permanent fix, the Army Corps of Engineers is going to be releasing more water
more often. It cannot hold as much water as it was able to in 2009. The regional impact is significant flooding in the
green river valley, short term utility outages, impact on transportation and request for city services. There are two
aspects of the Community Center becoming a Red Cross shelter I) If Federal Way is impacted, the FWCC would
help Federal Way residents 2) The benefits of having this in place is that all of the preplanning is done. The Red
Cross would do a site assessment and start putting the plans in place. Mr. Gross stated that the city would not lose
control of the facility; we can say yes or no. If the city says yes, the Red Cross will come in, and there will be an
onsite agreement with them, and there will be an assessment of the site prior to them moving in. We can charge the
Red Cross to use the facility. Some things to consider are the financial impact if we have to cancel an event, and
how would this affect the passholders and the contracts we have with them. It is estimated that it costs $5,700 a day
to run the facility. With the Howard Hanson event the regional plan concept is to go with a mega shelter in Seattle.
The intent of the Red Cross is to have several mini shelters as a backup. Mr. O'Dea from the Red Cross stated that
the County is trying to identify large venues that they can use. They have 283 facilities that they can use right now;
four of those facilities are located in Federal Way. The Red Cross' prime interest is getting a facility agreement.
Once they have the agreement they can assess the facility. It is a 3 step process: 1) Agree to talk 2) Shelter survey 3)
Facility Use Agreement. They will carry their own insurance and restore that facility back to the condition it was.
Council member Kochmar requested that the City be named as an additional insured. Council member Ferrell
moved to enter into an agreement with the American Red Cross, allowing the Federal Way Community
Center to be placed on the list for use as a possible dormitory shelter in times of emergency. Council member
Park seconded, motion passed.
Community Center Pool Chemical Vendor Contract
Mr. Feldman stated that the swimming program has been extremely successful at the center. Because we are having
more bathers than we anticipated, the actual use of pool chemicals was underestimated. Mr. Feldman is asking for an
increase of $6,000 on the current contract that we have with ORCA Pacific, Inc., and would also like to amend the
term.of the contract for another year. The total amount of the contract is $72,000.00, and the term will be effective
until December 31, 2010. Council member Park moved to approve the amendment to the contract with ORCA
Pacific Inc. and authorize the Interim City Manager to execute an agreement for the supply and delivery of
Pool Chemicals at the Federal Way Community Center. Total amount of the contract is $72,000.00. Council
member Ferrell seconded, motion passed.
Fisher Pond Building Demolition
Mr. Ikerd reported that the Historical Society moved out of the building m June. The Federal Way Police
Department had been using the site as a training facility, but is no longer using it. Mr. Ikerd solicited demolition bids
to 11 companies off of the Small Works Roster. Three companies responded. William Dickson Construction was the
lowest responsive bidder. Council member Park asked what the current condition of the house is. Ikerd answered
that it is boarded up, and is a target for a lot of vandalism. Mr. Ikerd stated that some of the costs are taking care of
the environmental part of the demolition; there is asbestos in the building. Council member Ferrell relayed a message
that Mayor Dovey had discussed the possibility of using the building for another organization. Council member
Burbidge is concerned about the condition of the building, and spending the money to bring the site up to code. The
site is very isolated. Council member Ferrell moved to accept the demolition bid from William Dickson
Construction and authorize the Interim City Manager to execute a contract for services in the amount of
$22,256.97 plus 10% contingency for a total amount of $24,481.97. Council member Park seconded, motion
passed.
Services Agreement for The Commons at Federal Way Police Services
Interim Chief Hwang stated that this is a one year contract commencing on January 1, 2010. There are three full -time
officers at the mall. The Commons owner will pay the City 50% of the cost of the salary and benefits of each officer.
The total amount of the contract is $137,645.00 for the year 2010. Originally there were two officers assigned to the
3

Page 3
The Commons. With the addition of the Theaters, they added another officer. The Manager of the mall is very
pleased with the police services. The three officers that are assigned to The Commons have agreed to stay there
another year. Council member Park moved approval of entering into the Service Agreement with Steadfast
Commons II, LLC for Police Services for The Commons at Federal Way and authorize Interim City Manager
Brian Wilson to sign such Agreement. Total amount of compensation is S137,645.00 for 2010. Council
member Ferrell seconded. Motion Passed.
Human Services Challenge Grant
Ms. Hynden stated that she is back with the Human Services Challenge Grant due to an oversight that she reported at.
the October meeting. Originally the Human Services Challenge Grant was an ongoing budget item, but in the course
of budgets changing, it was switched to one time finding. She is still recommending going forward with the grant
being awarded to the Federal Way Senior Center for their ICAN project. Ms. Hynden will have some costs savings
at the end of the year and will carry that forward to 2010, she will also be submitting a new program request,
requesting that the Human Services Challenge Grant be an ongoing budget line item At a future date she will come
back to Committee with a report on the ICAN project. In January they will discuss the Challenge Grant for the food
bank. Council member Kochmar suggested that the Board look into annexing the parcel that the building is on into
Federal Way.
Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration
Ms. Hynden stated that she and the Diversity Commission have worked diligently with the community to put together
a Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration committee supported by City staff. Ms. Hynden stated that they heard numerous
times how important this event is to the community, yet they could not find anybody that could stay committed to the
event. The Diversity Commission met and came up with a plan for the event in January 2010. The Diversity
Commission will highlight the art and poetry contest. The artwork will be displayed at City Hall during4he month of
January. She has heard from some teachers in Federal Way that would like their classes to participate in the essay
contest. There will also be a day of caring; it will be a food drive. The artifacts will also be displayed; the
community flame and the banners are just a few of the items that will be displayed. Instead of focusing on one day,
the celebration event will be for the whole month of January. There will also be nominations to recognize unsung
heroes in the community. They would like to have one adult and one teenager recognized.
2010 Diversity Commission Work Plan
Ms. Hynden stated that at the Diversity Commissions yearly retreat, they discussed what the function of the Diversity
Commission is. They have revised their Purpose and Mission and also added a Brand Promise_ The Commission is
committed to put together three community forums in the next year. These forum will provide a platform for the
Commissioners to listen and et feedback from m the community_ They are going to dedicate themselves to
Community Service. Other projects that they will do include the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Celebration,
Community Garden and Food Drives. Council member Parked moved the approval the 2010 Diversity
Commission Work Plan. Council member Ferrell seconded. Motion passed. Council member Burbidge
suggested adding the Work Plan to the Diversity Commission web page.

Ms. Hynden yn stated that the Commission has two huge g tasks ahead of them. Those tasks are updating
the Human
c t
Sery
P es Consolidated Plan for 2011 and exploring the question xp g q es ion of whether or not they should g o to Direct

STAFF REPORT BY: JOHN HUTTON RECREATION SUPERVISOR DEPT: PRCS
Background:
In 2009 the State Legislature enacted Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5967 prohibiting unfair practices in public
athletic programs by barring discrimination on the basis of sex. This law:
1) Prohibits gender discrimination in the operation of community athletics programs;
2) Prohibits gender discrimination by a third party receiving a lease or permit from the City for a community
athletic program (e.g. sports field rental);
3) Requires the City to adopt a non discrimination policy by January 1, 2010;
4) Requires the City to assign employees responsible for compliance;
5) Requires the City to publish and disseminate the policy.
The Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department currently administers programs, activities and facility
allocations in a non discriminatory manner. The City, however, has not published a policy specifically
prohibiting gender discrimination in our athletic programs. Adopting the proposed Non- Discrimination in
Community Athletics Programs Policy would satisfy the legal requirements of ESSB 5967 and would promote
equal access to community athletic programs by reinforcing current non discriminatory practices.
Attachments: Proposed resolution adopting a non- discrimination in community athletics programs policy and
ESSB 5967.

community athletics programs.

8 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
9 NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds and declares:
10 On June 23, 1972, President Richard Nixon signed into law Title IX
11 of the Education Amendments of 1972 to the 1964 Civil Rights Act. This
12 landmark legislation provides that: "No person in the United States
13 shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be
14 denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any
15 education program or activity receiving Federal financial
16 assistance.__." Title IX has expanded opportunities for males as well
17 as females in educational programs and activities,.,including ensuring
18 access to athletic opportunities for girls and women in educational
19 institutions and to male and female staff to coaching and athletics
p. 1 ESSB 5967.PL
16
1 administrative positions in educational institutions_ The dramatic
2 increases in participation rates at both the high school and college
3 levels since Title. IX was passed show that when doors are opened to
4 women and girls, they will participate_
5 Further, ensuring equality in the state of Washington, the
6 legislature passed an amendment to the state Constitution, ratified by
7 the voters in November 1972, providing "Equality of rights and
8 responsibilities under the law shall not be denied or abridged on
9 account of sex." In 1975, Washington continued to be at the forefront
10 of this issue by adopting legislation that established our own
11 statutory version of the federal Title IX law that prohibited
12 "inequality in the educational opportunities afforded women and girls
13 at all levels of the public schools in Washington state."
14 Athletic opportunities provide innumerable benefits to
15 participants, including greater academic success, better physical and
16 psychological health, responsible social behaviors, and enhanced
17 interpersonal skills. Athletic scholarships make it possible for some
18 young people to attend college. The Washington state legislature,
19 recognizing the importance of full participation in athletics, has
20 passed numerous bills directed at achieving equity and eliminating
21 discrimination in intercollegiate athletics in the state's institutions
22 of higher education_
23 Despite advances in educational settings and efforts by some local
24 agencies to expand opportunities in community athletics programs,
25 discrimination still exists that limits these opportunities. it is the
26 intent of the legislature to expand and support equal. participation in
27 athletics programs,, and provide all sports programs equal access to
28 facilities administered by cities, towns, counties, metropolitan park
29 districts, park and recreation service areas, or park and recreation
30 districts_
31 Nothing in this act is intended to affect the holding in the
32 Washington state supreme court's ruling in Darrin v. Gould, 85 Wn.2d
33 859, 540 P.2d 882 (1975) and its progeny that held it is not acceptable
34 to discriminate in contact sports on the basis of sex.
