camera that shows our existing program is working well. We are confident that the contract with
ATS is appropriate and we believe the fees are reasonable. The reported revenues and fees are
being closely tracked by our Finance Department. Our current program continues to be 100 percent
violator funded.
Recommendations:
The Professional Services Contract with ATS has provided data which indicates that our RLPE
program is achieving the desired voluntary compliance results we anticipated. The City may renew
and extend the term of this contract cansistent with other Professional Service Agreements entered
into by the City. Such renewal requires the approval of the Federal Way City Council.
We recommend extending the tei of the existing contract with American Traffic Solutions to June
16, 2013. The City, at its sole discretion, may extend the term of this contract for one additional
three (3) year term upon approval by the City Manager.
Photo enforcement technology does not replace traditional methods of traffic enforcement. Rather, it
serves as a supplement to traditional traffic enforcement techniques, in addition to educational and
engineering effoi designed to enhance traffic safety. The Police Department will continue to
measure and evaluate the effectiveness of the red-light photo enforcement program with regard to
safety, traffic flow and citizen compliance with traffic control devices.

West Hylebos Creek Culvert Replacement/Removal and Flood Control Improvements
Project— Bid Award
BACKGROUND
Six (6) bids were received and opened on June 29, 2010, for the West Hylebos Creek Culvert
Replacement/Removal and Flood Control Improvements Project. See attached Bid Tabulation Summary. The
lowest responsive, responsible bidder is Lloyd Enterprises, Inc. with a total bid of $181,094 (sales tax included).
The low bid received was (39%) below the engineer estimate.
This RFB consists of two bid schedules. Schedule A is to remove a culvert, regrade the stream channel, and
replant the area with native plants. Schedule B is to construct a storm drain outfall and a portion of the sanitary
side sewer for the private developer. Per our agreement, the private developer is completely responsible for the
cost of Schedule B work. The low bidder's bid for Schedule A and B are $174,398 and $6,696, respectively. We
have notified the developer of the cost to construct the private improvements and if the funds to complete the
work are not received, schedule B will not be included in the contract with Lloyd Enterprises, Inc.
Reference checks on Lloyd Enterprises, Inc. by City staff indicates that the contractor has performed similar
work. As a result, City staff believes Lloyd Enterprises, Inc. can successfully complete this project to the City's
satisfaction. Therefore, the lowest responsive, responsible bidder is Lloyd Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of
$181,094 (sales tax included). Any funds remaining in the project when it is complete will be transferred to the
unallocated SWM funds for future capital project.

TO: Land Use and Transportation Committee
VIA: Brian Wilson, City Manager/Police Chief ,�� ���
FROM: William Appleton, P.E., Surface Water Manager
SUBJECT: DOE Stormwater Retrofit and LID Competitive Grant
BACKGROUND•
The 2010 Washington State Legislature appropriated over $54 million to the Department of Ecology for
local governments to address stormwater management and control. The funding is available to local
municipalities covered by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase I and II
Municipal Stormwater permits.
On June 17 2010 the Departxnent of Ecology announced the availability of Stormwater Retrofit and
Low-Impact Development Competitive Grants to support the planning, design, and construction of
stormwater retrofit and LID projects. Ecology will distribute a total of $23,447,000 under this program.
The maximum grant amount for individual projects is $1.0 million of total eligible costs and recipients are
required to provide a 25% cash only match.
Surface Water Management recommends submitting a grant application for the S 356�' St Regional
Detention Pond Expansion Project, a project proposed to be programmed in SWM's 2011-2012 budget
cycle and a project that SWM believes would be competitive for grant funding.
The project entails expanding the existing regional detention pond facility (RDF) to the south, utilizing
the property vacated as part of the realignment of S 356th and the associated S 356th/SR 99 intersection
work. Expansion of the RDF will provide the following water quality benefits: 1) Reduce downstream
erosion as evidenced by the failing system of existing weirs; 2) Reduce channel migration and bed load
movement downstream; and 3) Enhance water quality in the North Fork of the West branch of Hylebos
Creek.
The total project cost is estimated at 1.7 million dollars. One million dollars could potentially be covered
by grant funding with the remaining $700,000 provided by SWM capital funds, covering the 25% cash
match requirement.
Grant applications must be submitted by August 31, 2010, and project completion must occur within four
years of the fmal grant offer.
Staff is requesting authorization to submit a grant application for the expansion of the S 356�' RDF for
consideration of funding thru the DOE Stormwater Retrofit and LID Competitive Grant.

SECTION �-819. CITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES
�819.1 Federal Way's commissions, committees and task forces provide an invaluable
service to the City. Their advice on a wide variety of subjects aids �l�e-A�a�
�-Council Members in the decision-making process. Effective citizen
participation is an invaluable tool for local government.
�819.2 These advisory bodies originate from different sources. Some are established by
ordinance while others are established by motion of the City Council. It is at the
discretion of the Council as to whether or not any advisory body should be
established by ordinance.
3819.3 Federal Way advisory bodies bring together citizen viewpoints which might not
otherwise be heard. Persons of wide-ranging interests who want to participate
in public service but not compete for public office can be involved in
29
governmental commissions, committees and task forces. These bodies also serve
as a training ground or stepping stone for qualified persons who are interested
in seeking public office.
��819.4 As Federal Way advisory bodies have been formed since incorporation, the
adoption of uniform rules of procedure is necessary to assure maximum
productivity. The following policies govern the City's advisory groups; some of
these advisory groups may have more specific guidelines set forth by ordinance,
resolution, the Federal Way City Code, or at times by state law.
I�$19.5 Every advisory body, when it is formed, will have a specific statement of
purpose and function, which will be re-examined periodically by the City

said new applicants and announce the appointment at a regular City Council
meeting. Applicants must be citizens of the City of Federal Way if required by
the Federal Way City Code or if required by the City Council. Applications
shall be available from the Office of the City Clerk.

overlapping terms are intended. On special work task forces, where a specific
project is the purpose, there need not be terms of office.

committee or task force chairperson and/or City staff, regarding duties and
responsibilities of the members of the advis�ry body. This will include a review
of the� City of Federal Way Ethics Code. Each newly-appointed member will
receive an information packet which will include a Certificate of Appointment
signed by the City Council, a commission, committee or task force membership
list, responsible City staff inember, statement of purpose for the advisory body

committee meeting.

the removal of an advisory body member. Three (3) consecutive absences will

member has requested, and been granted, an excused absence. The advisory
body granting the excused absence will determine the validity of the request.

prevent effective service.
Members may be removed, from any advisory committee, prior to the
expiration of their term of office, by a majority vote of the City Council.
I 3819.22 A quorum for conducting business is a simple majority of the
membership of the advisory body.
I �819.23 All members of advisory bodies should be aware of the need to avoid any
instance of conflict of interest. No individual should use an official position to
gain a personal advantage.
��819.24 Lobbying efforts by any advisory bodies on legislative, or political,
matters should first be checked for consistency with existing City policy by

differs from that of the City's policy, an advisory body acting as an official body
of the City of Federal Way, cannot represent that position before another body,

meetings to keep abreast of Councii actions.

ensure that the complaint is supported by identifiable facts, and to ensure
that the complaint is not based on frivolous charges.

insufficiency within ten (10) days of its receipt of the written complaint.

:
requested by the Board and has been approved by the Council; provided,
however, that the running of these time periods shall be tolled and the
complaint proceedings shalf be stayed in the event the Board makes
application to the City Council for subpoena power or in the event the City
Council issues a subpoena and any person refuses to obey such
subpoena. The stay of the complaint proceedings shall continue until
such time as the subpoena is either reissued or denied by the City Council

the Board. The Baard shall request subpaena power by making a written
application to the Mayor and Deputy Mayor describing in detail the subject
matter of the proposed subpoena and an explanation of why such
information is reasonably necessary in order to conduct the Board's
investigation or hearing. The subpoena may be issued in the event the
Mayor and Deputy Mayor determine the subpoena request is reasonable.
In the event the Mayor and Deputy Mayor are unable to agree upon such
a determination or the complaint alleges a violation of the Ethics Code by
the Mayor or the Deputy Mayor, the entire City Council shall make a
determination as to the reasonableness of the Board's application for
subpoena power. In the event any person disobeys a subpoena, the City
Council may invoke the aid of any Superior Court of the state. Such court
may issue an order requiring such person to appear before the Board, to
produce documentary evidence, and/or to provide testimony, and any
failure to obey such order may be punished by that court as contempt.

complained against has had an opportunity to present information on his,
her or its behalf at a hearing before the Board.

made by the Mayor to the individual.
(2) Reprimand — A reprimand shall be administered to the individual by

letter, he or she may file a request for review of the content of the
letter of reprimand with the City Council. The City Council shall
review the letter of reprimand in light of the advisory opinion and
the request for review, and may take whatever action appears
appropriate under the circumstances. The action of the City
Cauncil shall be final and nat subject to further review.
(3) Censure — A censure shall be a written statement administered
personally to the individual. The individual shall appear at a time

--'Federal Way is presently a car-
dependent city with farge block perimeters and very little bicycle and pedestrian
' connectivity. The adoption and subsequent implementation of a Master Pfan will benefitthe
entire city population by providing opportunities for physical activity via bicycling and
waiking. Moreover, i# will:provide the greatest benefit to those who don't have access to a
c�r and must by necessity travel by non-motorized modes as it will provide safe dedicated
� bicycling and walking roates. The planning process envisioned for #he preparation of the
Master Plan will solicit participation from a wide representation of the;comm Particular
care will be taken to have full participation' in those parts of the City with lower income and
� minorities. We will utilize both;the Hispanic and Korean liaisons in the neighborhood -
meetings to ensure tthat there are no cultural or'ianguage barriers to full participation, We
will also have a Russian volunteer available at meetings� Better connectivity via bicycle and
pedestrian paths will ensure safe passage and encourage people to become more active
and should increase �ttendance at such events as the weekly Farmers' Market. The end
result of a the Master Plan will be a healthier and more active community with better
access to schools, recreation, shopping,-and jobs. 21 Avenue SW and SW Campus Drive
Sub-area Plan -- A sub-area plan is proposed for this area due to the number of lower-
income people who iive here. Saghalie Middle School, with 572 sudents, is located within
the subarea. The school's minority population is approxirnately 66 percent, compared to 54
percent district-wide and approximately 57 percent are on free/reduced lunch program
compared to 48 percent district-wide There is no' risk tha# either the adoption of the
( Master Plan or Neighborhood Plan wilf cause any`unintended increases or inequities.

13. Feasibility of completing activity within 20 months (10 points)
The City of Federal Way has 'rdentified staff in the Community Development, Public Works,
Parks and Information Services {GIS) departments who are available to manage and begin
work on the project immediately upon grant award. The 20-month timeframe is adequate
to complete both' a bicycle/pedestrian plan and a neighborhood subarea plan, as these
planning efforts typically take about 16-18 months to complete including the City Council
Adoption process. We intend to utilize grant funds to hire consultants with national
expertise in preparation af bicycle/pedestrian master plans and sustainable, mixed use
neighborhood subarea plans. Our In-Kind staff effort along with the Consultant expertise
will enabie the City of Federal Way to maximize our community involvement efforts with
multiple neighbarhoad-based meetings/work sessions. Our proposal will build both city
staff capacity and community capacity (through citizen engagement and personal
investment) in developing the city-wide and neighborhood-based plans. The potential
obstacles to completing the proposed activities within the 20-month period are most likely
to be process-related during the plan adoption phase. Sometimes elected or appointed
officia)s will request additional meetings that were not anticipated. Staff will provide periodic
council updates and encourage participation in public workshops to lessen the chance of
requests for more process at the end of the grant period. Preparation of a detailed bicycle
ped'estrian master plan and the model neighborhood subarea plan are supported by
adopted policies in the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. The City Council
Finance/Ecanomic Deve(opment/Regional Affairs Committee (FEDRAC) authorized. this
grant application on May 18, 2010. We have attached copies of :existing comprehensive
plan policy and the approved FEDRAC agenda bill.

RE: COMMUNITIES PUTTING PREVENTION TO WORK AWARD
Dear Mr. Fewins:
Public Health - Seattle & King County is completing the selection of grantees for funding under
the Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) initiative. I am pleased to notify you that
City of Federal Way has been selected as a candidate for a Healthy Eating/Active Living award
for the period of July 21, 2010 through March 18, 2012.
The overwhelming response to the Request for Proposal led to a total amount requested that far
exceeded what we are able to fund, making the award process very competitive.
Congratulations on being selected!
This information is not yet public, so you are required to keep this information confidential and
embargoed from anybody outside of your organization as well as the media until the official
grant awards are announced on July 21, 2010 at 10:00 A.M. You can only share this
information with the most senior leadership within your organization and those in your
organization who need to know for planning purposes. Confidential communications with
subcontractors is acceptable.
The deliberations for awards included both internal and external review. External review panels
scored proposals based on the criteria included in the RFP and also made funding
recommendations. The Public Health CPPW team used the review panel recommendations as a
guide to develop a mix of grants that we believe will best support policy, systems and
environmental changes to reduce tobacco and obesity, address health inequities and improve the
health of King County residents.
Because of the large number of applications and limited funds, we may offer many award
candidates a revised scope of work (and budget) during contract negotiations. This allows us to
fund more applicants.
Attachment 4
CPPW Proposal Award
July 7, 2014
Page 2
Please note that this award is conditional, contingent on negotiation of contract scope and
budget and on continued funding availability through the Communities Putting Prevention to
Work federal initiative. You will receive a call within the next week to schedule a meeting to
negotiate your scope of work and budget. These meetings will be approximately 90 minutes and
held between July 8 and July 2p
Please plan on having decision-makers present for the contract negotiations. Final scopes of
work and budgets will be due to Public Health no later than one week following the contract
meeting.
Congratulations again on being selected! We look forward to working with you to create a
healthier King County.
Sincerely,

CONTRACT EXTENSION AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, the City of Federal Way ("City") and the Federal Way Police
Lieutenants' Association ("Association") have been and are signatory to an existing
collective bargaining agreement effective through December 31, 2010 ("the
Agreement"), setting forth the wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of
employment for members of the bargaining unit represented by the Association; and
WHEREAS, the City and the Association have agreed to extend the Agreement
for an additional two (2) years with the amendments that are set out in this Extension
Agreement; it is therefore
AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO, in consideration of
the mutual promises contained herein and in other good and valuable consideration, that:
l. The Agreement is attached hereto and incorporated by reference as if fully
rewritten herein.
2. All of the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall be continued in full
force and effect except as specifically amended below.
3. In the event Lieutenants are demoted for non disciplinary involuntary
basis, the Lieutenant may choose to 1) receive the current base salary, which does not
include any other pays or extra duty amounts, ar 2) receive the Guild salary Patrol per the
Police Officer Guild contract including extra pay and Career Development (assuming
qualified). The Lieutenant will notify Human Resources of their choice priar to the
effective date of the demotion of their choice.
4. Article 17 defines seniority as the time served as a Lieutenant.
Those Lieutenants demoted for non disciplinary involuntary demotion will not be
serving as lieutenants, and therefore, will not continue to accrue lieutenant

5. The City agrees to a three (3) year/thirty-six (36) month recall
period for non disciplinary involuntary demotions.
6. This contract extension agreement does not set a precedent for future

Benefits Task Force. In the event there is an agreement between the City and the
Association as a result of the Health Care Task Force efforts, said agreement will be
reflected in a memorandum of understanding during this 2011-2012 contract period.

CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
DATE: JULY 12, 2010
TO: LAND USE/TRANSPORATION COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEMBERS
VIA: BRIAN WILSON, CITY MANAGER/POLICE CHIEF
FROM: PATRICIA RICHARDSON, CITY ATTORNEY � n"
SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE FEDERAL WAY REVISED CODE
In an effort to streamline service to citizens and to use Ciry staffing resources efficiently, the City
rlttorney� identified sections in the Federal Way Revised Code ("Fti`��RC") where the City Council acts as the
appellate body for some decisions made by the Hearing Examiner, and is proposing modifications. Granted
appellate hearings before the City Council are not frequent. Ho�vever, historically some of the hearings have
required more than one evening to conduct the hearing, which does not account for time spent in
prepararion. Depending upon the compleYiry of the issue, it may take a fair amount of time for City Council
to issue the decision.
T'YPES OF ISSUES THAT CAN BE APPEALED TO CIT'Y COUNCIL
1. Permit for right-of-wav activitv.
Generally a permit is required when individuals or groups of individuals want to conduct an activity in
the right-of-way. FWRC 430.110 establishes the appeal process. Appeals to City Council must occur witivn
thirty (30) days of notice of appeal.
2. Revocation of business license/registration.
If a business registration/license is revoked or an application denied, FWRC 12.05.230 states that the
Hearing Examiner's decision can be appealed to the City Council. The process for the appeal is "Process
IV". ("Process N is addressed in more detail below under development regulations).
3. Develo�ment reeulations (including environmental decisions.
Process N is the procedure described for appeals of the Hearing Examiner's decision in regards to
environmental decisions — FtiY/RC 14.10.060 — and for development, activities and land • ues — FWRC
19.70.010. The procedure requires staff to prepare a report for the hearing before the Hearing Examiner.
The report is quite detailed and involves several pages with exhibits. The detailed report is then sent to the
applicant, the Hearing Examiner, and citizens within a certain area. If the Hearing Examiner's
decision/recommendation is appealed, Staff is required to prepare a second report, attached the hearing
examiner's written decision/recommendation along with all documents submitted at the hearing and again
mail copies to individuals participating in the hearing and those indicating an interest.
APPEARANCE OF FAIRNESS DOCTRINE
An addiuonal considerarion in bringing forth the pYOposed modificauons to the FWRC was the
application of the quasi-judicial role in appeals. When Council acts in the quasi-judicial capacity, the
Appearance of Fairness Doctrine ("Doctrine'�, as required by state law, applies. The basic premise of the
Doctrine is that the decision making body will only consider the information in the record of the hearing
examiner's hearing when rendering a decision. This limitation is counterintuitive to the legislative body
because citizens are encouraged to interact with the legislators, and because the legislators seek citizen input.
This limitation can be particularly difficult for Council because aIl are very involved in the community, �vhich
results in additional, outside knowledge.l
The proposed modifications would not change appeals to the Ciry Council under the following
provisions:
F��1RC 3.30.070 Tas exemptions
Fti`URC 11.45.100 — S��UNI rates
Fti 18.35 — Preliminary Plat
FWRC 18.45 — r�lteration of plat
FWRC 18.50 — Vacate subdivision
PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS
The Fti�RC process provisions below are identified in the proposed ordinance. The proposal identifies
provisions to be modified and provisions to be repealed entirely depending upon the substance. In each
provision the Hearing Examiner conducts a hearing to provide the applicant and others an opportunity to
present information, and then the Hearing Examiner issues detailed fmdings and conclusions to support the
determination. The proposed modifications would indicate that the Hearing Esaminer's decision is final for
the City and appeal is then to superior court.
Research reveals that more than ninery cities use a Hearing Examiner process, and many provide that the
appeal goes to superior court. Municipal Research and Services Center ("MRSC") indicates the trend
continues to move towards sending appeals to superior court instead of city council. Attached is a list of
cities that use the Hearing Esaminer process and appeals to superior court. Some cities limit the appeals to
superior court for land use decisions.
2 The provisions in FWRC where the Hearing Examiner makes a recommendarion to the City Council are excluded
fxom the proposed amendments. Council would continue to make all decisions concerning zoning, plats and
subdivisions.
