Commission Comments: None
APPROVAL OF SUMMARY
Council member Park moved to approve the March meeting summary. Council member Burbidge seconded.
Motion passed.
BUSINESS ITEMS
Purchase a Ford F250 Super Cab Pickup Truck using Replacement Reserve money currently allocated for
vehicle replacement
Commander Norman presented the background information. The Traffic Section was scheduled to receive a
Chevrolet Tahoe. Officers attended training for commercial vehicle enforcement through the Washington State
Patrol, and they did not feel that the Tahoe would be a suitable vehicle. The F250 Super Cab pickup would be more
versatile and enhance the capability of the Traffic Section. This truck is slightly more expensive; approximately
$1500 more. If needed, the additional funding would come out existing traffic school funds. Council member Park
moved to approve the purchase of one new Ford F250 Super Cab Pickup Truck with Replacement Reserve
Monies. Council member Burbidge seconded. Motion passed. Mr. Wilson stated that the Commercial Vehicle
enforcement is something that has been in their focus since their inception. It is something that is dependent upon
training and equipment. There are many vehicles that come into the City to use Pacific Highway South to bypass the
truck scales_
Landscape Bid Award
Parks & Facilities Manager Ikerd presented the background information. The Department had a $40,000 decrease in
the contract budget. Staff decided to cut down landscape services to six months. Bids were sent to six companies;
five of them submitted bids. During the pre- meeting the companies were alerted that they may not receive the
contract award for all of the sites. Three companies were awarded the bid — they are Osaka Garden Services, Omni
Landscape Services and C &C Industries. By taking the low bid from these three companies there will be an annual
savings of $2,889.58 per year. The companies are aware of this recommendation, and are okay with it. Council
member Park moved to authorize bid awards for Landscape Maintenance Services for 8 City sites and award
3 year Maintenance Agreements in the amount of $59,840.55 for Omni Landscape Services, $38,946.00 for
Osaka Gardens and $49,058.19 for C &C Industries. Council member Burbidge seconded. Motion passed.
Proposed Resolution to Authorize the use of the Performance -Based Contract process for Energy Services
Pursuant to Chapter 39.35A RCW
City Attorney Pearsall presented the background information. The typical process would be to obtain an engineering
firm to do the design for the HVAC system and then a public works contractor to build and install the system as
designed by the A &E firm. But with the energy savings element, it is more difficult to mesh it all together. The
Legislature is aware of this and has created a process specifically for performance -based contracts. It requires us to
PARKS. RECREATION, HOAN SERVICES & PUBLIC SAFETY COU 4201L COMMITTEE
Tuesday April 13, 2010 Summary
Page 2
announce our intention to use this process and to advertise it. This Resolution fulfills half of the requirement and
directs staff fulfill the other half; which is to publicize that we will be using this process. Mr. Roe stated that staff
was concerned that we would hire a firm to do the design work, and target the savings, and then hire a second firm to
realize the savings. The savings need to be obtained in order to pay the debt service on the state grant. If we did it
the traditional way, we could end up with two different contractors and one contractor not wanting to honor the other
contractors estimate. With the performance -based contract we can package it into one contractor to do the design
work and the same contractor to implement. That company will be held accountable to the savings. Council
member Park discovered this grant was available after he attended a meeting with Mt. Lake Terrace city staff. Using
this process will save time and money. Council member Park moved to approve the proposed resolution to
authorize the use of the performance -based contract process for energy services pursuant to Chapter 39.35 A
RCW. Chair Burbidge seconded. Motion passed.
Other Items
Mayor Kochmar discussed the Local Jobs for Americans Act, which is in Congress right now. It is based on CDBG
program; every city with a population over 60,000 receives direct funding. Council member Park stated that after
Congress approves it, there will be a funding mechanism, and we can get more information.
Committee Chair Burbidge stated that at a future PRHSPS Committee meeting she would like an update on two
projects that the Parks & Recreation Commission is working on: (1) trails project and (2) disc golf.
Fred Konkell, Chair of the Parks & Recreation Commission stated that some terms are expiring, and we also have
vacancies on the Commission. Mr, Roe stated that those positions have been advertised, and we also have some
commissioners whose terms are expiring that would like to reapply, and there are also alternates that are interested in
serving as a voting commissioner. Council member Park stated for the record that the City Council received
information that the Diversity Commission is developing a Senior Forum, and he thinks that this is a very good idea.
City Manager/Police Chief Wilson stated that they are still pursuing combining Human Services and a Senior
Commission.
Mayor Kochmar would like to have recognition for the J.R. Celski family at a Council meeting. Com rr ittee
Burbidge stated that at the Council meetings, they have been recognizing sports groups. She would also like to have
other groups recognized, and make sure that they are covering all of the High Schools as equally as possible.

Policy Question
Should the City enter into an Interlocal Agreement with Department of Social & Health Services

Background
The purpose of respite care for the clients of DDD is to provide intermittent relief to persons
providing care for developmentally disabled individuals. The way that we provide this is
through our Inclusive Recreation programs which take place at the Community Center and out
in the community. Programming varies but includes day trips, classes, social clubs, cooking,
theater, and much more. This agreement would allow clients to register for eligible recreation
programs at no charge. DSHS would then reimburse the city for program fees. A copy of the
agreement is attached.

Subject: Rush Commercial Construction, Inc. Retainage release
History: The City contracted with Rush Commercial Construction, Inc. for the Cafe
construction and installation of equipment at the Federal Way Community Center.
The total construction amount of $60,455.60 including tax ended up being $1,273.97
above the original contract amount, due to one change order. The change order
resulted from the difference between the bid plans to the discovery of extra thick
concrete in the floor where new drain lines were installed. This extra concrete
removal and pour back resulted in more work and materials than quoted.
The entire Cafe project was funded with $111,896.00 in the budget. The project was
planned with two separate contracts, which included the supply of commercial
restaurant equipment for a total of $25,458.25 and this construction phase total of
$60,455.60, resulting in a grand total of $85,913.85. 10% contingency was not
included in the Rush Commercial Construction, Inc. contract, so an amendment to
their contract was created. The $1,273.97 will be paid out of the balance in the
allocated project amount of $111,896.00.
Rush Commercial Construction, Inc. has completed all the work within their contract
and staff is requesting that Council approve to accept the work as complete and
release the 5% retainage amount of $2,760.53.

TO: CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
CC: BRIAN WILSON, CITY MANAGER/POLICE CHIEF
FROM: PATRICIA RICHARDSON, CITY ATTORNEY
AMY JO PEARSALL, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: PROPOSED ORDINANCE REVISING TITLE 9. --ANIMALS"
On, February- 16, 2010, City Council authorized the termination of the City's interlocal Agreement with
King County for Animal Control Services. That termination will be effective on June 30, 2010. A new
Animal Services Unit of the Federal VC,ay Police Department has been created to provide animal services to
the residents of the City of Federal Way beginning July 1, 2010. This proposed ordinance would update Title
9 to reflect the change in the animal services authority for the City, remove reference to the King County
code, consolidate duplicative provisions and chapters of the title, and provide for the continuation of services
throughout the transition from King County animal Care and Control to the Federal Way Animal Services.
Unit.
The following is a broad -view outline of the changes that were made:
A. Consolidate /restructure Title 9 from 9 chapter to 4 chapters as follows:
• Chapters 9.05 and 9.35 combined into the new Chapter 9.05
• Chapters 9.40 and 9.45 combined into the new Chapter 9.09
• Chapters 9.10, 9.15 and 9.20 combined into the new Chapter 9.18
• Chapters 9.25 and 9.30 combined into the new Chapter 9.25
B. Definitions:
• Updated `'animal control" to "animal services"
• Director has been redefined as the Chief of Police
• Authority has been updated to F %X PD Animal Services Unit
• Updated age of an adult cat and dog from 6 months to 21 weeks (recommendation from our city -
contracted shelter)
• New definitions added: leash, neutered /spayed, pet daycare, proper enclosure, and provocation
C. Removed all references to the county and the county code
D. Consolidated exemptions to certain provisions (they were scattered throughout)
E. Referenced enforcement options we already have in place in Chapter 1.15 RVRC (provides for consistent
enforcement of civil violations)
F. Streamlined cat and dog licensing into one, more user - friendly code section
G. Added /created licensing requirements for pet daycares (missing from existing chapter)
26
0
0
H. Added language to businesses licensing sections to make it clear that general business registration also
required (this is our current practice, but it is not expressly contained in our code)
I. Consolidated dangerous animal chapters into one chapter for case of use — no changes were made to the
substance of these provisions
As you can see, most of these changes are housekeeping in nature. Staff's goal was to facilitate the
transition of services and not overhaul our animal control code provisions. With very few, minor exceptions,
the substance of our current code remains the same.
The proposed effective date of this ordinance is July 1, 2010. Because the City will be taking over animal
services from the county on July 11t, this ordinance must be in effect by July 1St to allow for a seamless
transition. if this committee recommends approval of this ordinance, it will go to First Reading on May 18
and to Second Reading on June 1. If it is enacted on June 1St, it will be published on June 5; however, 30 days
from June 5 is after July 1. Therefore, in order to ensure that there is not a break in animal services to the
residents of Federal Wav, it is recommended that the Council find that this ordinance is necessary for the
immediate preservation of public peace, health and safety and not subject to initiative or referendum. Such a
finding, along with unanimous consent of the Council, will allow for an effective date of July 1, 2010.
A copy of the proposed ordinance is attached to this memo.
