Mayor Skip Priest
City Of Federal Way
33325 8` Ave S.,
Federal Way, WA 98003
Mayor Priest,
February 25, 2011
The intent of our letter is a request to honor one of our city's pioneer conservationists, Thais Bock,
who passed away Feb. 25, 2010. We propose naming the Brooklake Spur of the West Hylebos
Wetlands Boardwalk in her honor.
On our first visit to the Hylebos, Thais introduced us to the Marck�c family, who themselves had
realized the treasure of the wetland they owned. Her knowledge of birdlife in the area. was well
studied, and amazing in scope and depth. For decades, she taught classes on bird�ng, ar�d led countless
birding field trips throughout the county and state. She helped to build a network of birders throughout
the region. Thais had a special fondness for the West Hylebos Wetlands and worked to increase
understanding and awareness of the West Hylebos Wetlands and the Hylebos Creek watershed. She
was instrumental in developing bird surveys of the park that allowed the local community and decision
makers to properly value the park as a key birding habitat. Working through Friends of the Hylebos,
she developed brochures and other public education materials that spread awareness of the park's
unique birding habitat.
Mrs. Bock was one of the founding members of the Tahoma Audubon Society and founder of the
Rainier Audubon Society. Through her continued involvement in each, she was instrumental in
developing knowledge and awareness of native bird populations in the South Puget Sound area. In
addition to the cultural impact of Mrs. Bock's efforts to develop birding in the West Hylebos Wetlands
and surrounding areas, Mrs. Bock played an important role in the preservation of the West Hylebos
Wetlands. She was a close friend of the West Hylebos Wetlands' founders, Ilene and Francis Marckx,
and worked closely with local conservationists to secure preservation of the park. In addition, Mrs.
Bock also led the successful efforts to preserve the Dumas Bay Preserve and the Peasley Canyon heron
rookery.
In recognition of her lifetime of conservation work in the Federal Way area, the Friends of the Hylebos
honored her with its Lifetime Stewardship Award in 2009.
As advocates for protection of West Hylebos Wetlands, it has been exciting to see this park become a
jewel in the Federal Way park system. The boardwalk improvements, interpretive signs and
connecting trails brought the vision of many residents to reality. Dedicating the Brooklake Spur to
Mrs. Bock would be an ideal part of the West Hylebos Wetlands to bear tribute in her dedication to the
park. This section of the boardwalk, including the overlook at Brooklake, is one of the prime areas of
the park for outstanding bird and wildlife observation.
Respectfully yours,

SUBJECT: NPDES Permit Requirements/Annual Report and SWMP
BACKGROUND•
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is a federal permit that regulates
stormwater and wastewater discharges to waters of the State. While it is a federal permit, regulatory
authority lies with Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE).
The NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit for Western Washington was issued by DOE on
January 17, 2007 and went into effect on February 15, 2007. The permit requires that all affected
municipalities create and implement a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) which addresses six
required program elements: 1) Public Education and Outreach, 2) Public Involvement and Participation,
3) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, 4) Construction Site Run-Off 5) Operations and
Maintenance of Post Construction Stormwater Facilities, and 6) Monitoring. While the Permit went into
effect in February of 2007, the permit phases program implementation requirements through 2012.
In addition to the SWMP, the permit also requires permittees to submit an Annual Report intended to
update the DOE on the status of the permittee's compliance with the NPDES Phase II Permit. Annual
Reports must be submitted to DOE on or before March 31S` of each year.
Since the effective date of this permit, City staff has been working with the DOE and several regional
forums to determine how to best meet the permit requirements. City staff has prepared the following
documents to meet the 2010 SWMP and Annual Report requirements as specified under the permit.
• The SWMP describes the City's applicable existing programs, as well as the plan to update and
modify these programs as necessary to meet the requirements of the permit. The SWMP is a
planning document which will be updated each year.
• The components of the 2010 Annual Report include: a checklist detailing the status of individual
permit requirements, a report describing the City's preparation for future monitoring
requirements, and a Low Impact Development implementation report.

City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program
BACKGROUND
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is a federal permit authorized
under the Federal Clean Water Act of 1972 (as amended in 1977) that regulates stormwater
and wastewater discharges to waters of the State. While NPDES is a federal permit, it is
primarily administered by state governments. The NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater
Permit for Western Washington was issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology on
January 17, 2007 and went into effect on February 16, 2007.
While there are several types of NPDES permits, the municipal permit is intended to reduce the
impacts from both point source (i.e. construction site runoffl and non-point source pollution
carried by stormwater. Construction site run-off and non-point source pollution, such as oils and
metals from cars, fertilizers and pesticides from lawns, soaps from car washes, and pet waste
are major contributors to water quality degradation in our lakes, streams, wetlands and the
Puget Sound.
One of the major requirements under the Municipal NPDES Permit is that all affected
municipalities create and implement a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) which
addresses the required program elements: 1) Public Education and Outreach, 2) Public
Involvement and Participation, 3) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, 4) Construction Site
Run-Off 5) Operations and Maintenance of Post Construction Stormwater Facilities, and 6)
Monitoring. While the permit went into effect in February of 2007, the permit phases program
implementation requirements through 2012.
On June 17, 2009, the Washington State Department of Ecology issued a general permit
modification to address outcomes of appeals and orders made by the Pollution Control Hearings
Board. This Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit modification became
effective on July 17, 2009.

NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program
INTRODUCTION
This document has been prepared to meet the City of Federal Way's Western Washington
Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit (Permit) requirement for development of a Stormwater
Management Program (SWMP) identified in Section S5.A.2 of the Permit.
The City's SWMP provides guidance on reducing the discharge of pollutants from the City's
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) to the maximum extent practicable (MEP),
meet Washington State's All Known and Reasonable Technology (AKART) requirements, and
protect water quality once it is fully implemented.
Many of the required SWMP elements are already being implemented by the City. The City
gathers, tracks, maintains and uses information on an ongoing basis to facilitate development of
the SWMP, its implementation, Permit compliance, and to set surface water related priorities.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Permit, the SWMP is updated annually. The SWMP is a
draft document and is used as a planning tool until such time as the SWMP and any supporting
ordinances have been formally adopted by the City of Federal Way City Council.
Relationship to 1995 Surface Water Manaqement Comprehensive Plan
The following SWMP should be considered a draft update to Chapter III (Surface Water Utility
Programs) of the City of Federal Way 1995 Surface Water Management Comprehensive Plan.
The other chapters of the 1995 Comprehensive Plan are stitl in effect.

SECTION 1- PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
1.1 Permit Requirements (S5.C.1)
. Develop education and outreach programs that are designed to reduce or eliminate
behaviors and practices that contribute to or cause adverse stormwater impacts.
• Prioritize and address the target audiences and subject areas listed in the permit based
on stormwater issues and practices currently existing in Federal Way.
. Measure changes in the understanding and adoption of behaviors by the target
audience, and use that information to evaluate past programs and to direct future
programs.
. Maintain records of public education and outreach activities.
• Summarize activities in the Annual Report.
Program implementation was required by February 16, 2009.
1.2 Current Activities
The City of Federal Way Surface Water Management Division (SWM) maintains an active
Public Education and Outreach Program. SWM uses a variety of approaches to inform
residents and businesses about stormwater pollution prevention, stewardship opportunities,
capital improvement projects, watershed planning, and maintenance activities. The program is
consistently evolving and expanding to reach new audiences and cover additional pollution
prevention and stormwater related topics. Staff documents and maintains records of all public
education activities. A summary of the major public education activities in 2010 is provided
below.
. Printed Materials- SWM produces and distributes a number of printed public
educational materials (i.e. posters, brochures, booklets and flyers) on a variety of
subjects related to improving water quality such as pet waste, vehicle maintenance,
household pollution prevention, erosion and sediment control, and yard care.
. Quarterly Newsletters- SWM produces three different newsletters quarterly which
target different audiences: the general public, lake residents, and shoreline property
owners. The newsletters cover a variety of topics on pollution prevention and general
awareness of stormwater related issues.
• SWM Web Pages- Surface Water Management maintains a comprehensive website
that provides the public with information on the NPDES permit, pollution prevention,
storm system maintenance, stewardship opportunities, and much more.
. Public Access Channel 21- In 2010, the City of Federal Way broadcasted several
programs on the local public access channel related to water quality including an
educational program about stormwater management, a history of conservation efforts
Page 3 of 17
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program
related to the Hylebos wetlands, a program describing the goals of the Puget Sound
Partnership, and a gardening series on natural yard care. In the spring, the station also
ran all four of the television ads produced by the Puget Sound Starts Here campaign.
Press Releases 8� Newspaper Articles- SWM crafted several Press Releases in 2010
promoting the Rain Garden Workshop, Charity Car Wash Program, and the Curb Marker
and Stream Team programs. Articles in the local newspaper, the Federal Way Mirror,
included a piece on household pollution prevention tips related to summertime projects,
and an article describing how Federal Way's Car Wash Program helped a classroom in
Colorado.
. Targeted Mailings & Outreach- Outreach is often conducted to provide specific
information to a narrow target audience. For example in 2010, SWM mailed out letters
to every automotive related business in Federal Way describing the potential impacts of
the industry on stormwater and highlighted Best Management Practices (BMPs) that
should be implemented to minimize their impact.
Targeted mailings were also sent out to Steel Lake and North Lake residents with
specific information on pollution prevention related to lakes such as dock and boat
cleaning BMPs, reasons not to feed the ducks, and ways to help prevent the spread of
invasive species.
In April, Federal Way and King County staff met with a group a group of representatives
from several local property management companies to discuss proper stormwater BMPs
specifically related to pressure washing activities.
Volunteer Programs � Activities- Surface Water Management has several ongoing
programs that encourage public involvement. The Stream Team and Curb Marker
program receive many volunteers each year. In 2010 SWM hosted a number of
additional volunteer activities including the Redondo Creek Cleanup, Lakota Creek
Cleanup, and the Panther Lake and BPA Trail Cleanup events. SWM also led a rain
garden planting event, two volunteer tree planting projects, . and a day of invasive plant
removal at a shoreline park.
• Rain Gardens 8 Natural Yard Care- In the fall, Surface Water Management provided a
free Rain Garden workshop for Federal Way residents, landscapers, and contractors. In
addition to learning how to design and build rain gardens, participants were invited to
participate in the construction of a demonstration rain garden at a local public school.
SWM provided a Natural Yard Care presentation at the City's annual Buds and Blooms
event to encourage residents to reduce the use of chemicals in their yards which often
become a pollutant in stormwater runoff.
Fish Friendly Car Wash Program- The City has operated a very successful "fish
friendly" charity car wash program for a number of years. The number of businesses and
groups participating in this program consistently grows each year. Special kits, designed
to divert wash water to the sanitary sewer system, are available from the City at no cost.
In 2010 SWM improved the program by purchasing an additional car wash kit,
incorporating survey questions into the checkout form, and by creating educational
postcards to be handed out to car wash customers regarding the impacts of residential
car washing on stormwater.

NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program
• Federai Way Public Schools- The Surface Water Utility waives the stormwater fee for
the Federal Way School District and in exchange the School District provides surface
water related public education to its students as part of its curriculum.
SWM staff has also helped teachers at a few local schools, who have access to a
stream, implement a water quality monitoring component to their curriculum.
Each spring SWM holds a stream clean up event for students in an environmental
program at Nautilus Elementary.
Solid Waste and Recycling Program- The City's Solid Waste and Recycling Division
(SWR) compliments many of the educational efforts of the Surface Water Management
Division. SWR promotes household pollution prevention, proper disposal of chemicals,
and proper handling of pet waste. SWR also provides Federal Way residents with
information and options for disposal of used motor oil, leftover paint, and other liquids
that pose a threat to surface water and the environment. The department also
advertises the City's Spill Hotline number in a number of its publications.
Regional Participation- SWM staff participates in a number of regional forums that
focus on stormwater education: WRIA 9 Watershed Ecosystem Forum and Management
Committee, Puget Sound Partnership Ecosystem Coordination Board, STORM, EcoNet,
and the South King County Stormwater Outreach Group. The City of Federal Way also
actively promotes the regional stormwater education campaign Puget Sound Starts
Here.
1.3 Planned Activities
SurFace Water Management is planning some additions to the Public Education and Outreach
program in 2011.
In January, SWM will introduce a new public education program, Salmon in City Hall.
Staff will take care of several hundred salmon eggs which will be on display in the public
lobby of Federal Way City Hall. The goal is to grasp the attention of residents, children
and community members who visit City Hall and promote responsible behavior towards
our water resources. Educational materials will highlight the relationship between
people's everyday activities at home, stormwater, and the health of salmon.
. A complete re-design and update of the Surface Water Management web pages will take
place in March, and will include a new module for implementing online surveys and polls
which can be used as a tool for measuring public understanding of stormwater issues
and adoption of various stormwater BMPs.
. In the spring, SWM will conduct a large-scale mailing of educational information to
households within the greater Joes Creek and Lakota Creek watersheds that focus on
nutrient reduction addressing pet waste, car washing, and lawn care BMPs.
. A Natural Yard Care Workshop for residents in the Joes and Lakota Creek watersheds
will be held in the spring.

NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program
• Through a Saltwater Algae grant, SWM will be hiring an environmental consultant to
conduct an audit of the Twin Lakes Golf course. The consultant will then recommend
BMPs that can help to reduce the golf course's impact on surface waters.
• SWM will be providing targeted outreach to property owners bordering Puget Sound in
Federal Way. This outreach will provide residents with information encouraging
shoreline stewardship.
. SWM plans to develop a Fact Sheet on Snow & Ice Removal BMPs for private property
and business owners in Federal Way. This will most likely be distributed by mail next fall
or early winter.
• SWM staff intends to conduet an evaluation of the Federal Way School District's
stormwater education elements in their curriculum.
• Federal Way will continue to promote recognition of the Puget Sound Starts Here brand
and logo using a variety of new approaches over the next year.
• SWM intends to hold an Aquatic Plant ID Workshop in the summer in coordination with
the Steel and North Lake Management Districts. The workshop is used to help lake
residents identify which plants are both beneficial and detrimental to the health of local
lakes.
. Numerous volunteer events will take place in 2011 including stream cleanups, tree
planting events, and invasive species removals.

SECTION 2- PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT & PARTICIPATION
2.1 Permit Requirement (S5.C.2)
Create opportunities for public involvement through advisory councils, watershed
committees, participation in developing rate structures, stewardship programs,
environmental activities, or other similar activities. At a minimum, the public must be
provided an opportunity to participate in the decision-making processes involving the
development, implementation, and update of the SWMP.
• Make the SWMP and Annual Report available to the public, ineluding posting on the
City's website.
• Summarize activities in the Annual Report.
The Public Participation Program was required February 16, 2008.
2.2 Current Activities
The City of Federal Way encourages residents and interested parties to participate in the
decision making processes involving the update and implementation of the City's Stormwater
Management Program (SWMP). Opportunities for public participation in the development of the
SWMP are available through the following venues:
• The quarterly Surface Water Management (SWM) newsletter, "The Water Log", is used
to raise awareness of the Permit requirements, update the public on the development
of the SWMP and solicit comments.
. The City's Surface Water Management webpage provides a general description of the
Permit, describes the progress on the development of the SWMP and displays the
updated SWMP and the Annual Reports as they become available. Opportunity for
public comment and participation is provided via e-mail.
. The annual public meeting of the development, permitting and zoning stakeholders (i.e.
engineers, architects, developers, business owners, utilities and public school
representatives) is used to assess the City's permitting process as well as provide
updates on NPDES requirements.
. An opportunity for participation in the development of SWMP is available to City
residents through Land Use and Transportation Committee (LUTC) meetings. The
LUTC reviews many of the programmatic and policy changes proposed under the
SWMP and allows public comment on all of their agenda items.
. City Council reviews and approves many of the programmatic and policy changes
related to the SWMP. Public comments are accepted during all City Council meetings.

SECTION 3— ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION & ELIMINATION
3.1 Permit Requirements (S5.C.3)
• Develop an ongoing program to detect and remove illicit connections, discharges and
improper disposal including spills into the municipal stormwater system.
. Develop a municipal storm sewer map that includes attributes listed in section
S5.C.3.a. of the permit.
. Adopt and implement an ordinance to prohibit non-stormwater discharges, spills, illicit
connections, and illegal dumping into stormwater systems.
. Publicize a number for public reporting of spills and other illicit discharges.
. Identify and prioritize areas likely to have illicit discharges.
. Conduct a visual inspection of three high-priority water bodies and conduct an
inspection of at least one each year thereafter.
. Inform public employees, businesses, and the general public of hazards associated
with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste, and publicize a hotline phone
number for the public to report spills, dumping, and illicit discharges.
. Adopt and implement procedures for program evaluation and assessment which
includes spill tracking, inspection tracking, and feedback from public education efforts.
. Provide training for municipal field staff on the identification and reporting of illicit
discharges in the stormwater system.
• Summarize activities in the Annual Report.
The City shall fully implement the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program no later
than August 18, 2011.
3.2 Current Activities
The City of Federal Way maintains an active Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE)
program designed to identify and remove prohibited discharges and illicit connections to the
City's stormwater system. The City has implemented the majority of the requirements for this
program ahead of the permit deadline.
• The City maintains a comprehensive map of the City's municipal separate storm sewer
system (MS4) which includes all known storm sewer outfalls, receiving waters, and
municipal structural stormwater BMPs. The map is continually updated to reflect new
connections and changes based on field verification. The map is available upon
request.
Page 9 of 17
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program
• In August 2009, the City adopted and implemented Ordinance 09-619 in order to meet
the requirements of the Permit. The ordinance effectively prohibits all of the categories
of non-stormwater discharges listed in the Permit and includes escalating enforcement
procedures and actions pursuant to those outlined in FWRC 16.45, 16.50, and 16.55.
• The City identified priority areas where illicit discharges are most likely to occur. The
evaluation was based upon a prioritization of sub-watersheds using eight individual illicit
discharge potential (IDP) screening factors such as land use, past complaints, and
number of pollution generating sites.
• Receiving waters in Federal Way are prioritized for visual inspection, and field
assessments of three priority water bodies (Joes Creek, Lakota Creek, and Redondo
Creek) were completed in the summer of 2010. During the assessment, outfall
locations were verified and screened for illicit discharges, and newly discovered outFalls
were mapped.
. The City has developed IDDE procedures regarding the characterization of the nature
and environmental threat posed by illicit discharges, procedures for tracing the source
of illicit discharges, and procedures for eliminating the source of discharges. The
existing IDDE program includes notification of appropriate authorities, notification of
property owners, technical assistance for eliminating the discharge, follow-up
inspections, and escalating enforcement and legal actions if the discharge is not
abated.
Surface Water Management's existing Public Education and Outreach Program
includes educational materials designed to prevent illicit discharges by educating
business owners, employees, and the public on pollution prevention best management
practices and waste disposal techniques. Educational materials are disseminated to
targeted audiences on an ongoing basis. Many of these materials are described in
Section 1 of the SWMP.
. The City's Public Works Department main number (253-835-2700) is publicly listed for
reporting spills and illicit discharges. After normal business hours, the public can report
stormwater pollution to the city's call service at (800) 400-0749. The report will then be
forwarded to on-call City staff. The phone numbers are publicized on the web, in
newsletters, brochures, and many other educational materials.
Information regarding IDDE reports and complaints, follow-up inspections, and
enforcement actions are carefully tracked and documented.
• Training is provided to all field staff responsible for identification, investigation,
termination, cleanup and reporting of illicit discharges. Training is also provided for
staff who may observe an illicit discharge while performing their normal job duties. Field
staff from the following City departments have received training: Public Works,
Community Development, Parks and Recreation, and Public Safety.
3.3 Planned Activities
• The municipal storm sewer system map will continue to be updated as necessary and
new information added as it becomes available.
Page 10 of 17
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program
• Field assessment of at least one high priority water body will be completed annually.
• City staff will continue to evaluate and improve the IDDE program based on
experience, lessons learned, and feedback from public education efforts.
Follow-up training will be provided as needed to address changes in procedures,
techniques or requirements. All training records (including course information and the
staff trained) will be documented and maintained.

• Summarize activities in the Annual Report.
The Construction Site Runoff Program was required to be fully implemented by February 16,
2010.
4.2 Current Activities
The City of Federal Way recognizes that construction site run-off is a major contributor to water
quality degradation in the greater Puget Sound region. To address this issue and to better
protect our natural waterways, the City's current construction site run-off program exceeds the
minimum requirements of the Permit in many respects. Construction site run-off is reviewed
and inspected for all construction projects, ranging from single family structures to large
commercial developments.
. The City has adopted the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual, effective
February 16, 2010, which has been deemed an equivalent to the Washington State
Department of Ecology's (DOE) 2005 Stormwater Manual.
. The City's BMP selection and site planning process was also updated through the
adoption of the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual �2009 KCSWDM).

NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program
The authority to conduct inspections on new developments is granted during
construction pursuant to an access agreement allowed under Federal Way City Code
(FWRC) 19.25.080. Authority to conduct post construction inspection of private
drainage facilities discharging to the City's storm system from new development is
established through drainage covenants, conditions attached to the final permit, and
through FWRC 16.10.065.
• Non-structural preventive actions and source control improvements measures, such as
LID, are currently allowed. In 2008, the City worked with a consultant, funded through a
technical assistance grant from the Puget Sound Partnership, to develop
recommendations for further integrating LID techniques into the City's development
regulations.
. Staff has completed a report on LID implementation that identifies obstacles to
implementing certain LID techniques in Federal Way and suggests measure to address
those barriers.
. Prior to any clearing and grading activity on a construction site, a Pre-construction
Inspection is conducted with the contractor to review initial erosion control
requirements and the inspection process.
. A minimum of two erosion control inspections are conducted by City inspection staff to
ensure erosion control measures are being implemented and maintained throughout
construction of the project.
. A final erosion control inspection is conducted prior to final building permit approval of
single-family, multi-family and commercial construction.
. The ability to conduct enforcement of erosion control and stormwater requirements is
provided within the City's existing development review and inspection process (FWRC
1.15.010 through 1.15.100 and International Building Code R113 and R114).
. Covenants are attached to all new developments with stormwater detention and flow
control facilities at the time of final approval. The covenant allows access for inspection
and requires long term operation and maintenance of stormwater facilities (FWRC
16.36.020 and 16.35.030).
. Maintenance standards for private stormwater systems are established in Appendix A
of the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual.
. Developments containing storm systems are encouraged to dedicate these stormwater
facilities to the City at the time of final approval. The developer is required to maintain
a two-year maintenance bond to ensure maintenance of these facilities during the first
two years (most often the heaviest construction period) following final approval. Staff
conducts inspections of tl�ese facilities during this period to enforce compliance with
maintenance standards. The City takes over operation and maintenance of these
facilities once the bond is released.
. Records of inspections, violations, and enforcement activities are tracked through a
database permit tracking system.

. NPDES Construction Stormwater General. Permit Focus Sheets are available at the
City's Permit Center. Pursuant to a communication from the Department of Ecology,
these focus sheets may be made available to the public in lieu of the application
(Notice of Intent).
. All staff responsible for implementing the program to control run-off from construction
sites are trained to conduct these activities.
4.3 Planned Activities
The requirements in section S5.C4 of the Permit have been met and the Construction Run-off
Control Program has been fully implemented. The City will continue to carry out all related
activities to ensure compliance with the Permit.
• The program is continuously being reviewed and refined to ensure consistent
application of the most current adopted regulations.
• The City will continue to provide training as necessary.
• Several staff will obtain LID Certification through Washington State University's
Extension Program in spring of 2011.
SECTION 5 POLLUTION PREVENTION, OPERATIONS AND
MAINTENANCE
5.1 Permit Requirements (S5.C.5)
• Establish maintenance standards that are as protective, or more protective, as those
specified in the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
. Perform inspections of municipally owned or operated water quality treatment and flow
control facilities and catch basins at the frequencies specified by the permit.
• Maintain records of inspections and maintenance or repair activities.
. Implement practices to reduce stormwater impacts associated with maintenance
operations for streets, parking lots, roads or highways owned or maintained by the City.
• Implement practices to reduce pollutants in runoff from all lands owned and maintained
by the City.
• Develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for all heavy equipment maintenance
or storage yards owned or operated by the City.
Page 14 of 17
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program
. Develop and implement an ongoing training program for City staff whose job functions
may impact stormwater quality.
• Summarize activities in the Annual Report.
All elements of the Operations and Maintenance Program were required by February 16, 2010.
5.2 Current Activities
The City of Federal Way maintains a proactive and effective maintenance program of the City's
drainage infrastructure, which includes catch basins, pipes, open channels, as well as
residential and regional retention/detention facilities.
. The City adopted the maintenance standards found in Appendix A of the 2009 King
County Surface Water Design Manual.
. Regular maintenance of SWM's facilities is conducted by SWM Maintenance staff
consistent with the adopted standards to ensure stormwater facilities are functioning
properly.
• Alf known municipally owned or operated stormwater treatment and flow control
facilities are inspected and maintained at a minimum, annually. All known City owned
or operated stormwater retention/detention ponds are currently inspected and
maintained twice a year. Staff inspects at least 95% of the structures annually.
. SWM maintains a"Hot Spot" list of locations vulnerable to surface water related
problems during major storm events. Staff inspects these locations after all major
storms to ensure the systems are functioning properly, and to determine/conduct any
maintenance or repair needs.
. Sediment levels in catch basins (CBs) are evaluated on a circuit basis annually. When
sediment levels equal or exceed 50% of the sump capacity on average in the sampling
circuit, all CBs and inlet structures in that circuit are cleaned. Catch basins in high use
areas, such as main arterials, are cleaned throughout the City each year.
. SWM has implemented practices and procedures that reduce stormwater impacts
associated with runoff from streets, parking lots, roads and highways owned or
maintained by the City, as well as road maintenance activities conducted by the City.
Activities addressed include: pipe and culvert cleaning, ditch maintenance, street
cleaning, road repair and resurfacing, snow and ice control, utility installation,
pavement striping, maintaining roadside areas and vegetation, and dust control.
Page 15 of 17
City of Federal Way
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Management Program
Staff has modified policies and procedures regarding the maintenance and operation
of lands owned or maintained by the City in an effort to reduce the discharge of
stormwater pollutants. Policies and procedures that have been addressed include:
application of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, sediment and erosion control,
landscape maintenance, vegetation disposal, and cleaning and maintenance of
building exteriors.
. The City has an on-going training program for employees whose job functions may
impact water quality. The program addresses the importance of protecting water
quality, the requirements of the Permit, operations and maintenance standards,
inspection procedures, BMP selection, and ways to perForm their job activities to
prevent or minimize impacts to water quality.
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the City's heavy equipment
maintenance and storage yard has been implemented. The SWPPP includes periodic
visual inspections of the facility to evaluate the effectiveness of the BMPs.
• Records of inspections and maintenance or repair activities are kept in accordance
with the S9 Reporting Requirements of the Permit.
5.3 Planned Activities
• Staff will continu� to evaluate the effectiveness of selected pollution prevention BMPs
and will continue to ensure full implementation of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan.
The City will provide follow-up training as needed to address changes in procedures,
techniques or requirements. The City will track and maintain records of training
provided.

City of Federal Way
December 10, 2010
On October 29, 2010, the Stormwater Work Group (SWG) submitted a report to the Department of
Ecology (Ecology) titled: "Recommendations for Municipal Stormwater Permit Monitoring". This
report suggests specific monitoring requirement recommendations for the next Phase II Municipal
Stormwater Permit term, and is an important component in the establishment of a new Stormwater -
Assessinent and Monitoring Program for Puget Sound (SWAMPPS).
The SWG is comprised of a divergent group of stakeholders, including Ecology, Puget Sound
Partnership, State Agencies, Federal Agencies, Local Governments, Business Groups and
Environmental Groups. All members of the SWG and its various caucuses have provided strong
support for the "Recommendations for Municipal Stormwater Permit Monitoring" document.
Department of Ecology staff has publicly expressed their support of the SWG report referenced
above, and are preparing to fashion the next reissuance of the Phase II permit and associated
monitoring requirements based on the detailed recommendations provided therein. This includes
monitoring focused on receiving waters rather than outfalls. Given this, the City of Federal Way
anticipates that the stormwater monitoring design proposed in the current Phase II Municipal
Stormwater Permit (S8.c, stormwater monitoring and targeted Stormwater Management Program
effectiveness monitoring) will not be prescribed in the next permit cycle as it does not align with
the SWG recommendations.
The following information includes "preparation for future, long-term monitoring" per section
S8.0 of the current permit. These are proposed monitoring programs only, and should be
considered draft and subject to modification as necessary.
S8.C.a. Stormwater Monitoring
The City of Federal Way has identified the following three (3) outfalls or conveyances where
stormwater sampling could be conducted:
Commercial Land Use
Sampling Location: Kitts Corner Regional Detention Facility (RDF) Outlet
See Map 1
The Kitts Corner RDF drainage basin captures runoff from approximately 746 acres. The
following is a breakdown of land use area by percentage:
72.1% Highly developed commercial (zoned Community Business)
23.4 % Multi family
4.5% Residential -
The Kitts Corner RDF is situated within an easement on private property. The 68 acre-feet facility
is located at the headwaters of the Main Branch West Hylebos Creek, a watercourse that provides
spawning and rearing habitat for Chum, Coho, Chinook salmon as well as resident cutthroat trout.
Flow from the RDF is characteristic of the quality of the stormwater in the selected drainage area.
Preparation for Future, Long-term Monitoring

The site is currently equipped with automated stormwater monitoring (YSI� 600XL sonde) and
flow monitoring (ISCO� 4150/42501ow profile area-velocity probe) equipment. Future
modifications could allow flow-proportional stormwater monitoring.
Currently, there are no known significant water quality concerns downstream of the Kitts Corner
RDF. A future permit-required long-term water quality monitoring program would specify the list
of stormwater contaminants to be sampled.
Hi�h Densitv Residential Land Use
Sampling Location: Discharge from Club Palisades apartment complex
See Map 2
A survey of potential locations in the city was conducted to determine the feasibility of establishing
long-term stormwater monitoring which captures a majority percentage of stormwater from a high
density residential land use area. Following the survey, a review of each location's practical
limitations (size constraints, access, security, and structural configuration) was conducted. As a
result, the Club Palisades apartment complex discharge site was selected as the best alternative.
Flow from the apartment complex is characteristic of the quality of the stormwater in the selected
drainage area. Stormwater exits the apartment property through an 18 inch CMP, and discharges
into a 60" CMP stormwater trunk MS4 near the southeast corner of S. 272" St. and Star Lake
Road. Stormwater is conveyed from here to a wetland located in the City of Kent and ultimately
into McSorley Creek which is tributary to Puget Sound.
One hundred percent (100%) of the stormwater tributary to the Club Palisades sampling site is
generated from the 19.6 acre-750 unit apartment complex.
Currently, there are no known significant water quality concerns downstream of the Club Palisades
apartment complex discharge point. A future permit-required long-term water quality monitoring
program would specify the list of stormwater contaminants to be sampled.
Industrial Land Use
Sampling Location: South 356` Street Regional Detention Facility (RDF) Outlet
See Map 3
The South 356`�' Street RDF drainage basin captures runoff from approximately 230 acres. The
following is a breakdown of land use area by percentage:
• 100% Industrial (zoned Commercial Enterprise)
The South 356` Street RDF is situated on city-owned property. The 21 acre-feet facility is located
at the headwaters of the North Fork of the West Hylebos Creek, a watercourse that provides
spawning and rearing habitat for Chum, Coho, Chinook salmon as well as resident cutthroat trout.

Flow from the RDF inay not be entirely characteristic of the quality of the stormwater in the
selected drainage area due to the placement of a coalescing plate oiUwater separator at the inlet. If
this is considered a practical limitation, the sampling site may be moved upstream of the O/W
separator.
The site is currently equipped with automated stormwater monitoring (YSI� 600XL sonde) and
flow monitoring (ISCO� 4150/4250 low profile area-velocity probe} equipment. Future
modifications could allow flow-proportional stormwater monitoring. '
Currently, there are no significant water quality concerns downstream of the Kitts Corner RDF.
A future permit-required long-term water quality monitoring program would specify the list of
stormwater contaminants to be sampled.
S8.C.b. Stormwater Effectiveness Monitoring
The City of Federal Way has selected the following two sites where water quality monitoring may
be conducted to determine the effectiveness of the Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) at
controlling stormwater-related problems which are directly addressed by actions in the SWMP.
South 356` Street ReEional Detention Facilitv (RD� Outlet
SWMP component affected.• SS.C.S, Pollution Prevention and Operation and Maintenance for
Municipal Operations
Statement of the Question: Will the planned South 356`� Street Regional Detention Facility (RDF)
Retrofit project produce a measurable improvement in downstream water quality?
Hypothesis: The South 356'�' Street Regional Detention Facility (RDF) Retrofit project will
improve water quality downstream in the North Fork West Hylebos Creek including temperature,
turbidity, B-IBI, and excessive flows/ stream channel erosion.
Description of the project.• The proposed project, funded by the ZO11 Department of Ecology
Stormwater Retrofit and LID Grant Program, will involve the following:
• Adjustment of model parameters to optimize pond design.
• Development of improved conveyance outlet controls.
• Construction of a deep water wet pool with sub-surface outlet to facilitate cold water
releases.
• Incorporation of additional capacity to improve flow control and add an additional level of
spill control.
How and w� is this issue siQnificant to the Cit�o�Federal Wav and the communitv?
Regional storage facilities are important part of the MS4 conveyance system. When operating
properly, they help to control untreated stormwater (which may contribute elevated temperatures,
toxic metals, organic compounds, and bacteria) from impacting aquatic habitat and downstream
beneficial uses (beach closures for swimming and shellfish harvesting). Flow contro( also prevents
stream bank erosion, downstream flooding and is a critical feature deployed during spill events.
Federal agencies identified habitat loss from stormwater runoff as one of the primary obstacles to
salmon recovery, (Ecology, 2010}.

What types ofwater c�uali samplin wiZl�rovide answers regarding effectiveness?
Water quality monitoring will be conducted at both the RDF outlet (stormwater) and at
downstream North Fork West Hylebos Creek locations (receiving water) by Surface Water
Management (SWM) staf£ Temperature, turbidity and benthic macro invertebrates (B-IBI) will be
monitored.
• Temperature will be monitored at both the RDF outlet and at downstream locations
utilizing continuous temperature monitoring thermistors contained in optical TidbiT
StowAway Loggers � and YSI � 6-series multi-parameter sondes. A sample collection,
calibration, quality control and data management Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP)
will be based upon a previously prepared document: Stormwater Temperature Monitoring,
City of Federal Way, Washington, 2006.
• Turbidity grab samples will be collected at both the RDF outlet and at downstream
locations and analyzed with a HACH 2100P Portable Turbidimeter that is periodically
calibrated with StablCal Stabilized Formazin Standards. Measurement, data acquisition and
quality control procedures will be developed.
• Benthic macroinvertebrate field sampling procedures will be consistent with those of Fore
et al., 1996 and Karr and Chu, 2001, modified per Chad Wiseman, Department ofEcology.
Procedures will follow a previously prepared document: West Branch Hylebos Creek
Restoration QAPP, City of Federal Way, Washington, 2003
How might the results of the monitoring be signi�cant to other MS4s?
The proposed monitoring may inform other MS4 permittees as to the effectiveness of a RDF
retrofit with the same scope, size, and downstream water quality concerns.
What are the expected modi�cations to mana�ement actions based upon the outcome of the
hypothesis testing?
In order to determine whether the selected SWMP component (SS.C.S, Pollution Prevention and
Operation and Maintenance for Municipal Operations) is achieving the targeted environmental
outcome, the SWMP may be adjusted. Although the project design has not commenced yet,
features will be installed that will allow for the regulation of flow at the outlet. The results of the
on-going monitoring effort (temperature, turbidity and B-IBI) at both the RDF outlet and at
downstream locations can be used in the implementation of the RDF optimum management action
(i.e. decrease flow rate) that is best protective of water quality.
IDDE Comnliance Samnling
SWMP component affected.• SS.C.3, Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Statement of the Question: Will water quality compliance sampling inform whether the selection of
an Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) compliance action is effective?
Hypothesis: The effectiveness of the ongoing program to detect and address non-stormwater
discharges, including spills, and illicit connections into the MS4 will be assessed through the
implementation of a water quality compliance sampling program.
Description of the program: Once an IDDE compliance investigation is initiated (based upon
complaints, reports or monitoring information that indicates a potential illicit discharge, including
spills), Surface Water Management (SWM) will collect confirmatory water samples (if possible) at

the time of discovery, or shortly thereafter. These initial samples will be used as a pre-enforcement
baseline. Sampling will then be repeated following the completion of prohibited discharge
corrective actions pursuant to enforcement prescribed by FWRC, Title 16, Surface Water
Management.
How and why is this issue si�ni�cant to the Cit�ofFederal Way and the communitv?
Prohibited stormwater discharges occur for various reasons, including but not limited to: illicit
discharges, illicit connections, illegal dumping, equipment malfunctions, and operating accidents.
These incidents may result in contamination of private or public property that causes harm to
public health, as well as natural, cultural and economic resources.
Illicit discharges into MS4s can often include wastes and wastewater from non-storm water sources
which can enter the system through various means. This results in untreated discharges that
contribute to high levels of pollutants including heavy metals, toxics, oil and grease, solvents,
nutrients, viruses, and bacteria.
What txpes o�water qualitv sa�linn� will �rovide answers re a� rdin�e�f'ectiveness?
The following lists some of the most common types of water quality problems caused by prohibited
stormwater discharges:
• Sewage flows produced from sewer pipes and septic systems.
• Wash wastewater flows generated from a wide variety of activities and operations.
Examples include discharges of gray water from private property and commercial sites.
• Liquid waste discharges such as oils, paints and process wastewaters that enter the storm
drain system from spill events, illicit discharges ar illegal dumping activity.
SWM will utilize various indicator parameters and analytical methods that are simple, cost
effective, and safe. The exact combination of indicator parameters and methods selected will be
unique for each prohibited discharge investigation.
How mi�ht the results of the monitorin� be significant to other MS4s?
The proposed monitoring may inform other MS4 permittees as to the effectiveness of various
prohibited discharge enforcement options, and the selection of appropriate BMPs to control and/or
eliminate stormwater pollution.
What are the expected mod�cations to mana�ement actions based upon the outcome of the
hvnothesis testinQ?
In order to determine whether the selected SWMP component (SS.C3, Illicit Discharge Detection
and Elimination) is achieving the targeted environmental outcome, the SWMP may be adjusted.
Water quality sampling results may inform the proper selection of enforcement actions that are
most effective. These include: Stormwater Quality Inspection Notices;_Informal IDDE
Enforcement Actions (i.e. Water Quality Warning Letters); Stormwater Discharge Voluntary
Correction Agreements; and Notices of Violation and Order to Correct and Order to Cease
Activity.

Low Impact Development Implementation Report
City of Federal Way
February 10, 2011
The February 2, 2009 Pollution Control Hearings Board (PCHB) ruling on an appeal of the Phase
II Municipal Stormwater Permit required that Ecology begin to prepare Western Washington
Phase II permittees for future implementation of Low Impact Development (LID). On June 17,
2009 Ecology modified the Phase II Western Washington permit conditions to add reporting
requirements on advancing the use of low impact development practices in new development and
redevelopment.
Special condition S9.E.4 of the modified permit requires the permittee to submit with the
Annual Report information that includes:
■ A Summary of Identified Barriers to the use of Low Impact Development (LID)
within the area covered by the permit and measures to address the barriers.
■ A Report Describing:
• LID practices that are currently available and that can reasonably be
implemented within this permit term.
• Potential or planned non-structural actions and LID techniques to prevent
stormwater impacts.
• Goals and metrics to identify, promote, and measure LID use.
• Potential or planned schedules for the Permittee to require and implement the
non-structural and LID techniques on a broader scale in the future.
In October 2009, Ecology convened a stakeholder advisory process to provide input on LID
requirements that are expected to be incorporated into the next permit cycle. The stakeholder
committee worked closely with Ecology to define the scope of low impact development
techniques, criteria for determining the feasibility of LID techniques, performance standards, and
a timeline for future implementation. At the final meeting of the LID advisory process on August
12, 2010, Ecology presented a draft LID proposal outline.
The process of permit reissuance includes a number of opportunities for public input. Ecology
plans to issue a draft permit in Spring of 2011 for public review and comment and over a two
year review process, will make final decisions on LID permit requirements.
The following report produced by the City of Federal Way is intended to provide Ecology with
additional input and to better prepare the City to implement LID requirements that are expected in
the upcoming permit cycle. Please note that listing an action in this report does not constitute a
commitment to implement suggested changes. Federal Way intends to wait for further direction
from the Department of Ecology for specific implementation and deadline requirements.
LID Implementation Report
City of Federal Way
January 24, 2011
Page 1 of 6
Section 1. Identified Barriers and Measures to Address Them
The Federal Way Municipal Code is already very compatible with low impact development
concepts and principles and does not pose any clear impediments to its implementation. For the
purpose of this exercise, specific sections of code have been identified that pose opportunities to
further incorporate and encourage the use of LID:
1.1 Federal Way Fire Code
Cha�ter 5: Section- 5-34
In the fire code, two LID-related issues arise relate to road surfaces and road width. Roads
and parking areas are the largest contributors of imperviousness in most developed areas. LID
emphasizes minimizing impervious surface coverage. This can be achieved through narrower
roadways and incorporation of pervious paving materials.
There is no language in the Federal Way fire code that specifically precludes use of pervious
surfaces along emergency access routes. Code language could be developed that encourages
pervious pavements that also address the need for these surfaces to be capable of supporting
emergency equipment.
The specifications for dimensions of the fire apparatus road require an unobstructed width of
no less than 20 feet. The City offers some flexibility allowing more narrow driveways and
fewer turn around areas on driveways where structures are sprinklered or other fire
suppression techniques are employed.
In the section of Code addressing smoke and heat vents there may be a perception of potential
conflict when vegetated roofs are incorporated. It may be helpful to supply recommendations
for vegetated roof use that accommodate smoke and heat vent requirements.
1.2 Federal Way Subdivisions
De� Criteria c� Im�rovements — Chapter 20, Article III & IV.•
Reducing impervious surface coverage in site development is one important component of
LID design. The LID Technical Guidance Manual for Puget Sound identifies LID as a
stormwater management strategy that emphasizes conservation and use of natural site
features with distributed, small-scale stormwater controls to more closely mimic hydrologic
patterns in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
The City does have a current policy to not allow LID in the public rights of ways due to
insufficient information regarding performance and future maintenance requirements.
Federal Way's Subdivision Design Criteria (Article III) and Improvements (Article IV) are
already LID compatible, with provisions for cluster subdivisions, the conservation of open
space, natural vegetation retention, identification and protection of significant trees, as well as
the use of bioretention swales for storm drainage.
LID Implementation Report
City of Federal Way
January 24, 2011
Page 2 of 6
This section of the code contains a few areas where existing standards could be adjusted to
further encourage the use of LID practices. The amount of open space required in
subdivisions could potentially be increased from the current standard of 15 percent of the
gross land area. Under the "Landscaping protection and enhancemenY' (section 20-186),
further language could be added encouraging the preservation of existing trees on the site
whenever feasible, as well as planting new trees and shrubs of a native character. The
inclusion of a selected native trees and plant list could also be beneficial.
In regards to storm drainage (Section 20-183), additional criteria for the design of stormwater
facilities which incorporate LID techniques could be established.
1.3 Federal Way Zoning — Chapter 22
Article XI — Land Use Charts:
As noted above, reducing impervious surface coverage in site development is one important
component of LID design. Some zones within the City, including the Professional Office (PO
zone), Neighborhood Business (BN), Community Business (BC), City-Center Core (CGC),
City Center and the Office Park (OP) zone have no maximum lot coverage requirement. The
City may consider setting some maximum lot coverage standards by zone to minimize
impervious surfaces while still allowing for the type of vertical development that Federal
Way is pursuing for its Downtown Core.
Article Xi�— Off-Street Parkin�
In many communities, parking lots are second only to roads as a source of impervious surface
coverage. Reducing impervious surfaces associated witl� parking can be achieved in a variety
of ways such as:
■ Reduce the minimum number of parking stalls
■ Specify a maximum number of parking stalls
■ Reduce parking space dimensions and circulation corridors and/or provide for
higher percentage of compact stalls
■ Limit the amount of impervious surface coverage and provide direction for the
use of pervious pavement and other materials
Reducing the effective impervious surface area of parking is equally important, and can be
mitigated by interrupting massive sheet run-off through landscaping and planting islands.
Originally, the main purpose behind most planting islands was aesthetic. However, slight
modifications to planting details and plant selection can allow planting islands to fulfill
stormwater functions as well as provide an aesthetic benefit.
It would be beneficial to add provisions to the code that directly address reducing the amount
of impervious surfaces in parking lots as well as provisions for the use of pervious paving.
These code revisions could include detail drawings for LID parking lot design, and refer to
the landscaping and stormwater drainage details, so that the incorporation of LID is
consistent throughout various sections of the City Code.
LID Implementation Report
City of Federal Way
January 24, 2011
Page 3 of 6
Article Xijl — Improvements:
With respect to road sections and other improvements described in Article XVI, the primary
obstacles to LID are that the City's requirements call for all curbs to be vertical, except for
areas located in the low and medium density single-family residential comprehensive plan
designation or temporary improvements. Curb and gutter requirements in street construction
can limit opportunities for LID stormwater management techniques such as roadside
bioretention swales. The City may want to allow alternative cross-sections that reflect the
following LID road design principles:
■ Roads that are canted or pitched to a bioretention swale
■ Curbs and gutters with "breaks" to allow surface water to enter the bioretention
faciliTy
■ Sections consistent with manufacturer recommendations for alternative surfacing
materials for sidewalks, parking, and vehicular travel.
Article XVII — Landscapin�
The City's landscape code has provisions for native tree retention, encouraging the use of
native Pacific northwest and drought-tolerant plant materials, inclusion of bioretention swales
and other surface water/water quality structures incorporated into landscape areas, mulching
standards, the protection of significant trees and flexibility for creative design through
modification options (Section 22-1570).
The City's current tree retention standards establish general percentages for the amount of
significant trees to be retained on the property, in addition to a replacement rate. The City
has further detail in the code that introduces the concept of "Tree Canopy Cover" which
enhances the existing significant tree retention requirements by establishing a system of tree
unit credit requirements.
There are only a few areas where LID practices could be encouraged further. Landscaping
and the retention of native vegetation are two LID tools that can play a key role in reducing
stormwater runoff, providing ecological habitat, arid preserving natural drainage patterns.
The City could also consider adding low Impact incentives to the code offering an increase in
the spacing of trees and shrubs and groundcover in exchange for implementing low impact
practices and techniques.
The inclusion of an appendix with detailed descriptions of species native to the Pacific
Northwest would also be helpful in this section.
LID Implementation Report
City of Federal Way
January 24, 2011
Page 4 of 6
Section 2. LID Practices, Goals, Planned Actions and Timelines
2.1 LID Practices Currently Available
Federal Way has effectively removed all barriers that would prevent the use of LID for new
development and redevelopment in the City and offers the use of LID techniques on a voluntary
basis. The City has adopted as guidance, the latest version of the Low Impact Development
Technical Guidance Manual for Puget Sound and allows the use of BMPs from this manual to
meet identified pollutant removal goals and flow control performance standards with approval.
Specifically, the City encourages the use of the following LID practices when conditions make it
a feasible option:
The use of LID alternatives, such as permeable surfacing and on-site stormwater
management facilities are encouraged.
Developments are encouraged to use parking lot landscaping as on-site stormwater
infiltration facilities.
Pervious paving techniques may be used on private roads where feasible.
City code also contains provisions for cluster subdivisions, the conservation of open space,
natural vegetation retention, protection of significant trees, as well as the use of bioretention
swales for stormwater drainage.
2.2 Potential Non-Structural Actions and LID Techniques
Low Impact Development principles and applications present a significant conceptual shift in
stormwater management. Conventional tools to manage stormwater emphasize collection and
conveyance of stormwater while LID is a strategy that emphasizes conservation and use of
existing features to mimic natural hydrology. In arder to fully embrace the shift to LID
stormwater management, changes may be necessary within the City's comprehensive plan or
other land use policies in order to reflect this new vision.
In the future, the City may consider adopting additional policies to further advance the
implementation of LID practices such as:
■ Developing an incentive-based program to promote the use of LID
■ Increasing flexibility to allow for more experimental designs
■ Impervious surface limits
■ Allowing for alternative building designs to reduce footprint and disturbed areas
■ Changes to Site planning and layout that takes advantage of natural features
■ Programs to encourage Infill and redevelopment to reduce creation of new impervious
surfaces
Section 3. Goals and Metrics to Identify, Promote, and Measure LID Use
LID Implementation Report
City of Federal Way
January 24, 2011
Page 5 of 6
Ecology recommends that permittees provide indicators of progress in implementing LID
techniques identified in this report. Permittees should identify goals for expanding the use of LID
and establish methods for achieving these goals.
As we wait for Ecology to develop the anticipated LID requirements for the next permit, the City
of Federal Way plans to focus on expanding staff training and public education as a means to
further prepare for LID implementation.
Staff Training-adequate training is necessary for planning department counter staff,
permit reviewers, inspectors, staff performing code enforcement, and also those involved
in maintenance activities in order to provide guidance, review permit applications, and
inspect LID facilities. There will be various levels of training which may include
participation in a certification program, in-person training or tutorials available on the
web. It may be necessary to prioritize workload internally to increase staff availability to
work on implementing future changes to code and regulations for LID.
Developers- Developers that are more knowledgeable in LID will produce better products
for review (during permit review process). City staff will provide brochures, pamphlets,
and mailings illustrating the benefits provided by LID, the uses of LID, and the types of
LID techniques available.
Elected Officials and the Public- There is a need to increase acceptance and
understanding of Low Impact Development within upper management, among elected
officials and within the community in general. Because LID is a relatively new concept,
there is a general perception that LID is not proven and that the technology is untested. It
would be beneficial to highlight local LID projects that have been successful and
encourage people to visit various demonstration LID projects in the region.
Regional Collaboration-Collaboration and sharing of information among local
municipalities would be very beneficial. The City of Federal Way will support and
participate in local forums where permittees can share strategies for successfully
implementing LID and share LID accomplishments and lessons learned.
Section 4. Timeline to Implement LID Techniques on a Broader Scale in the Future
The City anticipates that Ecology will outline very specific deadlines for implementation of LID
requirements in the next permit cycle. At this point in time it is difficult to generate an
implementation schedule before knowing what changes will be necessary within the City's codes,
development standards, comprehensive plan, and other policies in order to meet future NPDES
permit requirements. The City intends to comply with deadlines in the next permit that Ecology
determines feasible.

' William Appleton, P.E., Surface Water Manager �
SUBJECT: Freshwater Algae Control Program Grant Acceptance
BACKGROUND•
Lakes within Federal Way are sensitive to excessive nutrient loadings due to their urbanized setting.
Additionally the lakes are relatively shallow. These conditions combine to favor algal bloom
formation. Due to an increase in Federal Way lake algae bloom-related incidents in recent years,
Surface Water Management (SWM) applied for funding last fall through the Department of Ecology
(Ecology) Freshwater Algae Control Program (FACP).
On February 7, 2011, SWM received an offer letter from Ecology to fund SWM's proposed Federal
Way Lake Algae Project. The four-year project covers algae monitoring and outreach efforts
involving nine public and private lakes in Federal Way. Elements include: response to bloom
reports, early detection investigations, water quality sampling, sample delivery/analyses, public
notification, data collection, reporting, and community outreach.
The Federal Way Lake Algae Project will identify problematic conditions occurring in City of
Federal Way freshwater lakes that contribute to algal bloom formation. Most importantly, it will
reduce public health threats and assist in the development of long-term nutrient reduction solutions.
Additionally, the project will complement the following on-going surface water quality programs
and public outreach efforts: the Steel Lake Management District, the North Lake Management
District, the Dumas Bay Saltwater Algae Management/Research grant, and the Municipal Phase II
Stormwater Permit.
The FACP grant requires a 25% match, which will be obtained from unallocated SWM funds. The total
amount being proposed for this program is $44,690.00, of which $11,172.50 would be SWM matching
funds. This amount has been included in the 2011-2012 SWM Budget as a new program proposal.
Staff is requesting that the Mayor sign the Federal Way Lake Algae Project Grant Agreement
between the City of Federal Way and Washington State Department of Ecology.

SUBJECT: 2012 King County Conservation Futures Grant
BACKGROUND:
King County Conservation Futures tax levy ("CFT") funds are available for 2012 to fund the
purchase of public open space land. SWM has been successful in obtaining funding from this grant
source in the past to purchase conservation properties described in the Hylebos Creek Project. The
recent acquisition of the Enticknap property and the high likelihood of the purchase of the Bridges
properiy in 2011 has obligated all of the current grant funding. Properties identified for acquisition
under the Hylebos Creek Project (excluding the Bridges property) that have not yet been purchased
include the Barovic Property (11.2 acres), the Snyder Property (6.9 acres) and the Castellar Property
(4.6 acres). Staff has also identified one additional conservation property, Gowers (1.9 acres) and
three conservation easements, Carlson, Ostrum and Harms that all have high conservation value and
are critical with respect to conservation property connectivity and a future trail system. A map
showing the remaining and newly proposed target properties is attached.
Staff is requesting authorization to apply for additional grant funding in the amount of $400,000
through the King County Conservation Futures Grant in order to pursue the acquisition of those
remaining properties identified as part of the Hylebos Creek Project, in addition to the four new
target properties (Gowers, Carlson, Ostrum and Harms) shown on the attached map. Matching funds
for the grant are available within the utility's unallocated reserves. The total amount required for
matching is $400,000.

Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Council Committee
Lynnette Hynden, Human Services Division Manager
March 2, 2011
RE: Request for Proposal for Neighborhood Stabilization Program 3(NSP3)
BACKGROUND
In September 2010, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded an additional $1 billion
dollars to the states. This is the third round of Neighborhood Stabilization recovery program dollars. As you recall,
the Ciry Of Federal Way accepted the NSP1 dollars and as a result recaptured 11 houses that were vacant and
foreclosed. Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 dollars were not available to the State of Washington. We are
now recognized as a state to receive $5,000,000 in federal funds under NSP3. The State of Washington
Department of Commerce is the recipient of the dollars and will be allocating funds to the identified high risk areas
throughout the state via a RFP process.
NSP3 RFP Process:
The NSP3 funds are to be allocated to the determined areas that have the greatest need in the state. The City Of
Federal Way is within that group of areas, specifically census tracts 300.02 and 303.03. For the past three years
the City Of Federal Way has seen on average well over 250 completed foreclosures of housing units per year.
These homes are vacant or bank owned, but in any case it is proven that foreclosure activity in neighborhoods
destabilize and aid in more rapid deterioration of the community. The NSP funds are a tool to assist in stabilizing
the community and recapturing the high risk vacant housing.
The City Of Federal Way Human Services Divisional staff has identified a partner in Habitat for Humanity that can
assist in the development on an action plan to recapture the housing stock in the specified areas of concern, but
first we need to submit a proposal as outlined in the attach RFP announcement. There is a very short turnaround
for submitting the proposal that would benefit the City Of Federal Way.
There are 25 jurisdictions within the State of Washington that on the surface qualify and subsequently been invited
to apply for the NSP3 funds. Four of the jurisdictions are within King County; 4 are in Pierce County; 6 in Eastern
Washington and finally the remaining 11 are divided between North of Seattle or South of Tacoma a{ong the I-5
corridor. The jurisdiction must have a"need score° above 9 to be accepted for review and the City Of Federal Way
has need scores of 13.4 and 13.0 for their two identified census tract areas.
Timeline
The RFP was released on February 28, 2011. Proposals are due to the Department of Commerce no later than
April 14, 2011. The jurisdictions will be notified of their awards in May, 2011 and Department of Commerce will
submit the Action Plan Application /Amendment to HUD by end of June, 2011. It is currently estimated that final
fund awards will be allocated to the state by HUD in July/August 2011. Approximately 30-days after the state
receives the funds, they will be executing the NSP3 grants out to the jurisdictions selected.
SUMMARY:
The Neighborhood Stabilization Program which has been embedded in federal stimulus legislation since 2008 is
another layer of programming that while on the surface seems like an opportunity to seize, is a complex program to
administer. The city has utilized these funds in the past under the NSP1 allotments. The program at that time had
more options than the NSP3 proposal does today. Also, taking on the prospect of receiving and implementing these
funds is not accounted for within the current staffing levels of the Human Services Division, however, joining with a
non-profit developer such as Habitat for Humanity that has already been successful in our community with such
projects as Westway is very beneficial to the division. In addition, the NSP3 funds will also provide an allotment for
administrative costs to ensure staffing levels are appropriate to perform the requirements of the funding criteria.
Without the already established partnership befinreen the City of Federal Way Human Services Division staff and
Habitat for Humanity Seattle/King County, exploring this opportunity with such short timelines would not be possible.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff would recommend that at this time council approves the exploration and execution of a proposal to be
submitted by the City Of Federal Way in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity, partnering to achieve successful
implementation of the NSP3 funding from HUD via Washington State Depa�tment of Commerce. If the city were to
be awarded the funds, a more in-depth analysis will be provided to council to assess the feasibility of achieving what
will be required under the agreement before a contract is executed.
There are no costs, other than staff time, associated with this partnership. The potential benefits from examining
this opportunity far oufinreigh the risk of remaining silent on the invitation to submit a proposal for NSP3 dollars.
Options Considered:
1. The City of Federal Way will partner with Habitat for Humanity Seattle/King County to submit a
proposal requesting funds necessary to recapture necessary housing units recognized by HUD because
the City Of Federal Way is well-known by Department of Commerce and HiJD as a targeted area with
a score of 13.4 and 13.0 in two of the census tracts (300.02 & 303.03) within the city limits.
2. The City Of Federal Way will not submit a RFP for the NSP3 funding from Department of Commerce.

foreclosure crisis. These grants represent a third round of funding through HUD's Neighborhood Stabilization
Program (NSP), also known as NSP3. Washington State Department of Commerce (Commerce) was allocated
$5,000,000 in federal funds through NSP3. These NSP3 funds, as authorized under Section 1497 of the Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Proiection Act of 2010, are to be used to further stabilize and revitalize
neighborhoods whose viability has been, and continues to be, damaged by the economic effects of properties
that have been foreclosed, abandoned, or vacant.
HUD generally is treating NSP3 funds as a special allocation of Fiscal Year 2010 Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funding, thus CDBG regulations apply to NSP3, as well. For the complete NSP3 statutory and
regulatory provisions, refer to pages 64322-64348 in the Federa/ Register/Vol. 75, No. 201/Tuesday, October
19, 2010/Notices, which can be accessed at:
http://hudnsphelq.info/media/resources/NSP3FederalRe�isterNotice October192010.pdf.
Commerce, as a HUD NSP3 grantee, is required to target its allocated NSP3 funds to one or more areas of
greatest need in the state of Washington. HUD has determined the areas of greatest need (or "target areas")
by census tracts around the country. NSP3 must target the areas that are located in the top 20% of the
foreclosure needs scores in the state, and NSP3 projects must meet or surpass the minimum impacts identified
for each of the target areas. For more details refer to HUD's "Foreclosure Need Website" at
http://www.huduser.ore/portal/datasets/NSP.html.
Commerce is publishing this Request for Proposals (RFP) on February 28, 2011, to solicit proposals for NSP3
grant funding for projects promoting the stabilization and revitalization of neighborhoods located in the areas
of greatest need in Washington State. The total amount of NSP3 funds available for projects is $4,750,000.
(Commerce is retaining 5% of the state allocation for its internal administrative and planning activities.) The
minimum NSP3 funding amount the applicants can request for a project is $500,000.
Commerce will not be liable for any costs incurred by the applicants in preparation of a proposal submitted in
response to this RFP or any other activities related to responding to this RFP. This RFP does not obligate the
state of Washington or Commerce to contract for services specified herein. Commerce reserves the right, at its
sole discretion, to reject any and all proposals received without penalty and not to issue a grant contract as a
result of this RFP.

The NSP3 Target Area table on the following page shows the NSP3 target areas determined by Commerce to
have the greatest need in Washington State. Commerce is initially targeting areas with the greatest need for
NSP3 funds that have a foreclosure need score of 12 points or higher. Commerce will consider proposals from
NSP1 jurisdictions that have a foreclosure need score of at least 9 points, which is the minimum foreclosure
need score established by HUD for the state of Washington. Areas with a foreclosure need score that is less
than 12 points must use HUD program data to demonstrate that the area has significantly higher than average
vacancy rates, subprime rates, foreclosure starts, and deflation rates.
Applicants may submit proposals for one or more of the target areas listed in the NSP3 TargetArea table or for
any other target area in their jurisdiction that they identify to have a great need for NSP3 funding. In order to
identify the need scores and the minimum impact housing units for other target areas than the ones listed on
the following page, the applicants must use HUD's Mapping Tool provided at
http://www.huduser.or�/NSP/NSP3.html.
In order for a project to be eligible for NSP3 funding, it must make a significant impact in its neighborhood
(target area) and satisfy the following conditions:
1. Minimum Need Score. The project must be located in a target area that has an NSP3 need score of 9
or higher; 9 is the minimum need score established by HUD for the state of Washington.
2. Minimum Impacted Housing Units. The project must recover at least three (3) or the minimum
number of impact housing units in its target area, whichever is higher. HUD provides these minimum
numbers of impact housing units relative to the number of properties that need to be recovered in
order to make an impact on a neighborhood (based on the number of REOs in the target area).
3. Readiness to Proceed and Complete the Project. The proposal must demonstrate readiness to
proceed with the ability to spend 50% of the NSP3 funds in 24 months (approximately July 2013) and
100% of the IVSP3 funds in 36 months (approximately luly 2014).
Note: HUD requires that all NSP3 projects spend 50% of the NSP3 funds within 24 months and 100%
of the NSP3 funds within 36 months of the date HUD executes the NSP3 grant agreement with
Commerce. For NSP3 purposes, spent funds mean costs were incurred to purchase a property or pay
for a contractor. Even if a project is awarded funds, Commerce reserves the right to withdraw all or
part of the awarded funds and reallocate them to another project if the awarded project is not
making progress towards meeting the two spending deadlines.

Innovaiio� is in our naturc. NSP3 Request for Proposals
4. NSP3 Set-Aside for Low-Income Households/Individuals. The proposal must demonstrate that at
least 28% of the requested NSP3 funds will benefit households or individuals earning less than 50% of
the area median income (AMI). Since HUD's 25%set-aside requirement applies to all NSP3 funds,
including administration; jurisdictions will need to expend 28� of their NSP3 funds for set-aside
activities in order to meet the minimum set-aside requirement.
5. Minimum NSP3 Funds Requested. The minimum award under NSP3 will be $500,000. The project's
budget must include at least $500,000 in NSP3 funding.

Section 3. Application & Award Process
Applicants must submit their complete proposals to Commerce by 5 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on
Thursday, April 14, 2011 (follow the submittal instructions in Section 5). Proposals that demonstrate making a
significant impact on their neighborhoods, that are ready to proceed, and that rank the highest will be selected
for funding and publicly announced in May 2011.
Proposals will be evaluated and ranked by a review panel consisting of Commerce staff with expertise in
neighborhood stabilization, community development, and housing. Preference will be given to proposals that:
� address areas of greatest need;
� demonstrate readiness to proceed, with a clear plan to spend 50% of the NSP3 funds in 24 months
(approximately July 2013) and 100% of the NSP3 funds in 36 months (approximately July 2014);
■ leverage other funds by demonstrating partnerships and local commitment;
� generate or recover more housing units;
� generate or recover more rental housing units;
r commit a larger percent of their requested NSP3 funds to benefit households/individuals earning less
than 50% of the AMI; and
• encourage vicinity hiring (for the purposes of NSP3, vicinity means the neighborhood identified in the
project's target area).
In their proposal, applicants must demonstrate a clear readiness to proceed, have capacity to undertake an
NSP3 project, address the state's areas of greatest need, and demonstrate an ability to produce the desired
impact and results. Proposal evaluation will be based on the applicants' answers to the following scored main
categories (detailed contents of each main category are listed in Section 4):
Scored Main Categories Max. Points
1. Capacity � 15
2. Project Description & Market Analysis 35
3. Project Readiness & Implementation 35
4. Results 15
Total Maximum Points � 100
Proposals will be scored and then ranked by their total score from highest to lowest. Grant awards will be
made to projects in rank order until the available NSP3 funds are exhausted. Commerce may negotiate funding
levels with the successful applicants on a case-by-case basis and may make an offer of funding that is lower or
higher than the requested amount.
Once projects are selected, Commerce will include them in the final NSP3 Action Plan Application/Amendment
for HUD's review and approval (due to HUD on June 30, 2011). After HUD approves this final NSP3 Aciion Plan
Application/Amendment, they will prepare and execute the NSP3 grant agreement in which they will grant the
allocated NSP3 funds to Commerce (estimated for July-August 2011). Commerce expects that grant contracts
for the selected projects will be executed in approximately 30 days from the date HUD and Commerce execute
the NSP3 grant agreement.

event that HUD or Commerce recaptures NSP3 funds from an awarded grant, the administration
and planning percent allowance will be reduced accordingly.
3. Program Income. Describe any anticipated program income and how it will be managed and used
by your project. Explain if and how the anticipated program income was taken into the calculation
of your project's budget. For purposes of NSP3, program income means gross income (e.g., total
proceeds from the sale of a unit prior to any deductions for closing and/or homeownership
assistance) received by a NSP3 recipient, which was directly generated from the use of NSP3 funds.
For a more accurate description of what constitutes program income, refer to 24 CFR 570-500(A).
Note: HUD requires that all program income be disbursed for eligible NSP3 activities before
additional cash withdrawals are made from the U.S. Treasury for a NSP3 project/program. NSP3
program income must stay in the NSP3 program/project and must be used for additional NSP3

1. The City of Federal Way provides notice to King County and HUD before Apri130, 2011 of its intent
on receiving its entitlement directly. T'his means that the city will allocate the necessary funds
needed, as recommended by the feasibility study, to ensure that the completion of the transfer from
the interlocal agreement with King County to becoming a direct recipient from HUD is built upon a
firm foundation. In addition that the capital priorities for at least the next three years will be housing
rehabilitation and micro-enterprising activities as recommended by the Human Services
Commission. Knowing that this transition process has to be supported and embraced by city and all
of its Departments, it is encouraged that other departments within the city are schooled on the
processes and engaged in the transition. Finally, the feasibility study provides descriptive
recommendations on how to support the Human Services Divisional staff by ensuring that the
program is properly staffed and the city also agrees with its recommendations.
2. The City Of Federal Way will notify King County that its intent is to sign the Joint Interlocal
Agreement as a Joint Agreement city whereby, allowing King County to receive the City Of Federal
Way's entitlement. This action would by action put the city into a sub-recipient relationslup with

MEMORANDUM
TO: Federal Way City Council
FROM: Lynnette Hynden, Human Services Division Man
VIA: Bryant Enge, Administrative Services Director
CC: Skip Priest, Mayor
DATE: March 10, 2011
RE: Direct Entitlement Consideration Supplemental Information
BACKGROUND
On March 8, 2011 staff presented to the Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Council Committee
an Agenda Bill recommending that the City Of Federal Way notify King County and HUD of its intent to receive
entitlement funding direcUy from HUD beginning in 2012.
Council member Park raised a question on funding the start-up costs as identified in the memorandum attached to
the Agenda Bill. Where would the funding come from and what if any additional FTE's would be needed and how
they would be funded was also explored. The unpredictable CDBG funding levels that have been volatile and could
flux beyond the estimated entitlement range the city is accustom to receiving was talk about.
The Agenda Bill was moved forward from committee without a recommendation pending fu�ther staff presentation
under council business on March 15, 2011.
STAFF RESPONSE AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff has confirmed that funds not exceeding $50,000.00 from the year-ending fund balance, one-time dollars will be
set aside to accomplish the federally required start-up processes to include but not limited to Consolidated Plan and
other necessary plans as outline in the staff memorandum dated March 1, 2011 under paragraph "Start-up Costs."
The start-up costs are reimbursable from the direct entitlement allotment once the City is under the entitlement
agreement between HUD and the City Of Federal Way. If the allotment maintains at the level it has for the past 4
years, there is little to no concern of the citys ability to reimburse itself for the up front costs. However, should the
allotment waiver and decrease, there is slight risk that full reimbursement will not be achieved due to the limited cap
on administrative cost allotment.
Additional FTE staffing is not necessary to implement the conversion to direct entitlement.
The unpredictability of what the allotment will be, while concerning, does not waiver staff's the decision to
recommend notifying HUD and King Counry of its intent to dissolve our Joint Agreement. In fact, should allotments
decrease slightly or significantly it is more beneficial for the city to be a direct recipient because of the greater impact
to King County and what would be their inability to provide the same level of services.
Staff recommends that the City Of Federal Way provide notice to King County and HUD before April 30, 2011 of its
intent on receiving its entitlement directly. The short-term budgetary risk due to the unpredictability of the federal
appropriations does not outweigh the overall long-term benefits to the City Of Federal Way. The city will be better
suited to manage for a sudden and almost violent swing in funding levels from HUD should that occur, rebuild
community relationship pertaining to capital improvements and finally, most important eliminate an additional layer
of unnecessary communication between HUD and the city.
MOTION:
"I move approval for the City Of Federa/ Way to provide notice to King County and HUD before April 30, 2011 of its
intent on receiving its entit/ement directly. The city will set aside no more fhan $50,000.00 from its ending fund
balance one-time funds to use for the start-up costs necessary to develop the required Consolidated Plan and other
necessary and legal documents for transitions from a Joint Agreement City to a Direct Recipient of its CDBG
Funds."

DATE: March 1, 2011
RE: CDBG Direct Entitlement Consideration
Background:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars have been woven in the fabric of the Federal Way community
for well over 16 plus years. Both capital projects and public services have benefited our residents. At one point in
the city received its allotment directly from Housing and Urban Development (HUD) when it was a very young city
and wasn't properly staffed. From approximately 1995 every three years the city assesses and had made the
determination to continue in the Joint City Interlocal Agreement with King Counry where that puts the city as a sub-
recipient of its own funds or to ramp up and support the necessary processes to become a direct recipient.
The Joint Inter-Loca/ Agreement (JIA) outlines for those cities who chose to be a sub-recipient of their direct entitled
funds being administered by King County. There are administrative costs and program impacts as well as
procedures that are agreed upon belween King County and joint agreement cities. The countys role is as the
technical advisor to the JIA cities because under the agreement, HUD recognizes the county as its client and the JIA
cities are sub-recipients.
Joint Agreement Cities contribute agreed upon portions of its allotment for such costs associated with the
administrating the grants. There is very little if no flexibility in negotiation on the inter-local agreement. Everything
from capital implementation (environmental reviews and Davis Bacon monitoring), minor housing repair to the
administrative and planning dollars are all jointly and clearly negotiated in the agreement. Also discussed are
limitations to number of service programs and capital projects the joint agreement cities can contract with within the
program year. King County prepares all required documents that are directed by HUD. While the City Of Federal
Way has the ability to select public service programs and capital projects, it is the County, through the JIA, that has
the final determination on the projects selected.
Purpose:
At the end of this year, December 2011, the City Of Federal Wa�s Joint Agreement with King County expires. The
city is now once again faced with either renegotiating the JIA for another three years or the city could opt to
undertake the process of receiving its entitlement directly from HUD. Infrastructure within the Human Services
Division will need to be set up as statutorily required by law and monitored by HUD. This infrastructure creates the
foundation for greater responsibility and a direct relationship to HUD. The city's administrative dollars over the past
years has supported the countys infrastructure to provide such support that now would need to be switched.
The consultant hired to examine the pending question explored and assessed the "Pros and Cons of the City Of
Federal Way assuming their Entitlement status beginning in 2012'. The consultant provided his final report in
November 2010 (report is attached).
In addition to the consultants work, staff also participated in lengthy discussions between King County staff and the
two other joint agreement cities as well as the two potentially new joint agreement cities. Discussions on such
topics as whether or not there could be changes to the Joint Inter-local Agreement, what type of activities a direct
entitlement ciry can do that would limit the risks of greater liability for project management, Housing Repair
programs and potential South King County City collaboration. The discussions and outcomes from the meetings are
incorporated into the overall staff recommendation.
CDBG Program
Since 1974 Congress has allocated funding to support the Community Development Block Grant program which is
both public services and capital projects that benefit the community of need. The Direct Entitlement average for the
city has been in the mid $700,OOO.range. There are a few ways to increase this base line entitlement by generating
program income, recapturing funds and supplementing CDBG with local funds. Another option to increase the
allocation is the potential of annexing another 20,000 persons that would increase our entitlement by approximately
$150,000.
CDBG Administrative Costs
The consultant compared five most comparable cities to the City Of Federal Way and found that most cities
recorded under the 20% administrative service cap on the program. However, across the board cities reported that
it is very difficult to truly capture the total FTE used on any one activity. Dedicated CDBG staff hours are recorded
and reported, but depending on the project activity other ciry departments provide in-kind supportive services. Other
services such as environmental reviews, David Bacon monitoring and in-house projects are just a few that come to
mind but have to be supported as needed per activity. The more complex activities selected require more staff and
technical expertise that if not provided by employed city staff will have to be done on an outside contractor basis.
It is suggested that the city allocate 1.75-2.25 FTEs to just CDBG to assure adequate staffing is available within the
Human Services Division to support the added administrative responsibilities, regardless of what program activities
are selected. If complex capital activities become a city priority another increase in FTEs would be necessary to
support additional labor intensive oversight. Eventually, after a couple of years of ramping up the program and that
time commitment levels off the city could maintain a limited number of the FTEs at the 1.75-2.25 suggested level.
This is assuming that the staffing expertise remains stable and sustainable. It is staff expertise that makes this
program successful or potentially a liability for the city. Also, this assumes that only slight modifications are made to
desired program activities over the years.
Start-up Costs
Developing a Five-year Consolidated Plan as well as the Assessment of the Impediments to Fair Housing
and the Anti-Displacement and Relocation Plan are all required to be created and maintained. Currently King
County absorbs these costs and burdens for the city. Public comment and participate is the backbone structure of
CDBG programming.
The Consolidated Plan ranges from $25,000. to $40,000 and must be complete before the city would be approved
to receive its allotment. This can be reimbursed; however, the city must front the costs. The other reports range
from $5,000 to $10,000 dollars for the initial start-up.
The IDIS system for reporting programming and expenses to HUD is required. While this is a web-based system,
there will be minimal costs associated with having the appropriate set-up, but there will be soft human capital costs
such as technical support from the IT Department will be essential and necessary.
While staff have gone through hours of updating our monitoring process, tracking systems and document storage
systems. The infrastructure required by HUD as a direct entitlement still lays ahead of us and more work and staff
resources are needed to ensure the city's operations meets HUD guidelines.
Summary:
The consultant's report in addition to staff time spent over the past 6 months examining the question of what benefit,
if any, will becoming a Direct Entitlement from HUD be a better option for the City Of Federal Way can be answered.
The most important and pervasively absent benefit for the city is community relationships that the City Of Federal
Way has not maintained because of the barriers between our community and King County. The inter-local
agreement arrangements, with or without intention, inhibits the city staif from developing on-going relationships
needed to achieve the necessary spend down ratios required by HUD. The city needs to embrace its community by
forming lasting strategic planning partnership for its residents. To date, while the city has spent dollars in our
community to enhance capital projects, it is the county tMat is seen as the lead and decision maker. At times those
decisions have been detrimental to actually realizing community projects but at other times we have been
successful. The inconsistency in services provided by the county to meet its agreements is impacting the citys
ability to fully engage the community partners and realize completed projects.
Determining whether the city would be interested in changing its program mix is a policy decision that neither staff
nor the consultant answered in making its recommendations. However, the Human Services Commission offers its
recommendation that capital projects be limited to housing rehabilitation and micro-enterprising activities. Certainly
if the city minimized the number of public service agencies they contract with and then limit the capital project
activity, managing the entitlement would be done with less risk.
The overall organizational change involved in transitioning the current work processes to support the Human
Services Division taking on this grand operation needs to be accepted throughout the entire city's organizational
structure. The effect the change necessary to make such a shift of this magnitude requires internal support and
recognition of the potential impacts if not fully embraced. With organizational support that allows ownership for
controlling the change and then having the city adapt to the change will prove to be a successful shift for this
program and the city. Come short of an organizational buy in, the risks again to the overall functionality of the
CDBG program could be high for the City Of Federal Way if not supported on every level of the organization.
Staff Recommendation:
I am honored to have had the opportunity to examine in depth the pending question of what is the appropriate
decision to make this year as it relates to continue the status quo of engaging in the Joint Interlocal Agreement
between the city and King County, or pursue the cities entitlement in a completely different direction. The decision is
difficult because of multiple factors. More than 9 months with six of them being consumed with research and
queries of partners both internally and externally has transpired. Finally, an unbiased consultant weighed in as well.
Engaging the Human Services Commission and their combined wealth of knowledge and vested interest were also
done throughout the process and leading to their recommendation on February 28, 2011. The HS Commission
after carefully weighing the options unanimously recommends to the City Council that the City Of Federal Way
provide notice and sets out a course to receive its entitlement funds directly from HUD starting in 2012.
Options for the council committee to consider:
1. The City of Federal Way provides notice to King County and HUD before April 30, 2011of its intent
on receiving its entitlement directly. This means that the city will allocate the necessary funds needed,
as recommended by the feasibility study, to ensure that the completion of the transfer from the
interlocal agreement with King County to becoming a direct recipient from HUD is built upon a firm
foundation. In addition that the capital priorities for at least the next three years will be housing
rehabilitation and micro-enterprising activities as recommended by the Human Services Commission.
Knowing that this transition process has to be supported and embraced by city and all of its
Departments, it is encouraged that other departments within the city are schooled on the processes and
engaged in the transition. Finally, the feasibility study provides descriptive recommendations on how
to support the Human Services Divisional staff by ensuring that the program is properly staffed and the
city also agrees with its recommendations.
2. The City Of Federal Way will notify King County that its intent is to sign the Joint Interlocal
Agreement as a Joint Agreement city whereby, allowing King County to receive the City Of Federal
Way's entitlement. This action would by action put the city into a sub-recipient relationship with
HUD and has to remain as such for not less than 3 years.
Staff recommends option 1.

DATE: February 16, 2011
RE: CDBG Direct Entitlement Consideration
Background:
The City of Federal Way has been eligible for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) doltars for well over 16
years. History will recall that at one point the city did receive its allotment directly from Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) when it was a very young city and wasn't properly staffed to manage the laborious funding
requirements and processes necessary to be a direct recipient.
There are few cities in King County with populations above 50,000 that qualify to receive funds directly from HUD;
Federal Way being one of them. With a population count over 88,000, the City of Federal Way receives the largest
entitlement sum of the cities that remain under a Joint Interlocal Agreement (JIA) partnered with King Counry. King
County also receives funds directly from HUD for all the smaller cities that have a population under 50,000 as well
as the unincorporated areas of the county. The smaller cities and unincorporated King County in addition to the JIA
cities are known as the "Consortium" that is governed by the "Joint Recommendation Committee." Over the years
the City of Federal Way has participated in the King County CDBG Consortium as a Joint Agreement City.
Currently, Renton and Shoreline combined with Federal Way make up the three cities that are identified as "Joint
AgreemenY' cities. There are two seats identified for the Joint Agreement cities to rotate among them and
participate as members. If more agreements are reached between cities and the county, at this time only two seats
are still available to all JIA cities and must be rotated. Joint Agreement cities are those cities that qualify to receive
their allotment directly from HUD but for several reasons have chosen not to. Every three years the JIA between the
county and the eligible cities is revisited and executed for continued collaboration. Pursuant to HUD's guidance,
cities can opt out of the JIA every three years.
The Joint Inter-Local Agreement (JIA) outlines the administrative costs and program impacts as well as procedures
that are agreed upon between King County and joint agreement cities. The county's role is as the technical advisor
to the JIA cities because under the agreement, HUD recognizes the county as its client and the JIA cities are sub-
recipients. Joint Agreement Cities contribute agreed upon portions of their allotment for such costs associated with
administrating the grants. Everything from capital implementation (environmental reviews and Davis Bacon
monitoring), minor housing repair, to the administrative and planning dollars are all jointly and clearly negotiated in
the agreement. Also discussed are limitations to number of service programs and capital projects the joint
agreement cities can contract with within the program year. King County prepares all required documents that are
directed by HUD. While the City of Federal Way has the abiliry to select public service programs and capital
projects, it is the County, through the JIA, that has the final determination on the projects selected.
The City of Federal Way's "seaY' at the King County Housing Consortium, "JRC" membership allows for
collaboration and contribution to larger regional projects. Being a member of the consortium allows the city to work
cooperatively with others among the region on housing and capital projects which would otherwise not have enough
funding to be completed.
Purpose:
At the end of this year, December 2011, the City of Federal Way's Joint Agreement with King County expires. The
city is now faced with either renegotiating the JIA for another three years, or the city could opt to undertake the
process of receiving its entitlement directly from HUD. If the decision is to receive the city's entitlement directly, the
city has to notify both the county and HUD by April 2011. Infrastructure within the Human Services Division will
need to be set up and plans drawn up as statutorily required by law and monitored by HUD. This infrastructure
would be creating the foundation for greater responsibility and being directly responsive to HUD. The city's
administrative dollars over the past years have supported the county's infrastructure to provide such support that
now would need to be switched.
In preparation for making a determination regarding the feasibility of the ciry receiving our entitlement directly, the
Human Services Division hired a consultant. The consultant explored and assessed the "Pros and Cons of the City
of Federal Way assuming the direct entitlement status beginning in 2012". The consultant provided his final report
in November 2010 (report is attached). Also in preparation for making this decision, staff has participated in lengthy
discussions between King County staff and the two other joint agreement cities as well as the two potentially new
joint agreement cities. Discussions on such topics as whether or not there could be changes to the Joint Interlocal
Agreement, what type of activities a direct entitlement city can do that would limit the risks of greater liability for
project management, Housing Repair programs and potential South King County City collaboration. These
discussions and outcomes from the meetings are incorporated into the overall considerations staff will weigh when
making a recommendation.
CDBG Program
Since 1974 Congress has allocated funding to support the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program
which is both public services and capital projects that benefit the community of need. The funding level between
1974 and 2006 remained constant, and then there was a slight decline in 2008. The Direct Entitlement average
from the last 4 years is in the mid $700,000 range. There are a few ways to increase this baseline entitlement by
generating program income, recapturing funds and supplementing CDBG with local funds. Another option that is
lingering that could increase the allotment is per the Growth Management Area there are another 20,000 persons
that could at sometime join the city via annexation. The annexation would increase our entitlement by
approximately $150,000.
There are ongoing costs are associated with managing CDBG. Administering the grant requires more staff time
than what the city is currently devoting to the CDBG program management. Developing an Annual Action Plan and
annually reporting the program's progress is essential. Both of these reporting processes require public
participation. Record keeping and program management in addition to contract management will rest entirely upon
the city's purview. Fiscal management is also necessary and depending on what contracts are written and fund
source disbursements, there could be extra burdens on other city departments and divisions. Finally, technical
experience assistance and training for sub-recipients is another duty in addition to monitoring agency compliance.
Staff will have to assume reporting into the IDIS HUD electronic system for all of the city's sub-recipients.
CDBG Administrative Costs
The consultant compared the five most comparable cities to the City of Federal Way and found that most cities
recorded under the 20% administrative service cap on the program. For example, he has shown most operate
within average of 1.47 FTEs. What is not used for administrative management can be put into project activities.
However, across the board cities reported that it is very difficult to truly capture the total FTE used on any one
activity. Dedicated CDBG staff hours are recorded and reported, but depending on the project activity other ciry
departments provide in-kind supportive services. Other services are environmental reviews, Davis Bacon
monitoring and in-house projects to name a few. The more complex activities selected naturally require more staff
and technical expertise that if not provided by employed city staff will have to be done on an outside contractor
basis.
Currently under the JIA, the City of Federal Way is compelled to support the salary of its CDBG Coordinator with
General Fund dollars. The city has dedicated 1.0 FTE to the CDBG grant coordination and the 10% of its
administrative allocation ceiling does not cover the salary/benefits of its coordinator. It also does not have monetary
allowances to reimburse the ciry for operating costs such as mailing, legal postings and such required by law.
It is suggested that the city allocate 1.75-2.25 FTEs to assure adequate staffing is available within the Division to
support the added administrative responsibilities, regardless of what program activities are selected. If complex
capital activities become a city priority, another increase in FTEs would be necessary to support additional labor
intensive oversight. It appears regardless of whether or not the city becomes a direct entitlement, supplementing
staff salary and operating costs with General Funds is necessary. Eventually, after a couple of years of ramping up
the program and the time commitment levels off, the city could maintain a limited number of the FTEs at the 1.75-
2.25 suggested level. This is assuming that the staffing expertise remains stable and sustainable. It is staft
expertise that makes this program successful or potentially a liability for the city. Also, this assumes that only slight
modifications are made to program activities over the years.
Stan-up Costs
Developing a Five-year Consolidated Plan as well as the Assessment of the Impediments to Fair Housing and the
Anti-Displacement and Relocation Plan are all required to be created and maintained. Currently King County
absorbs these costs and burdens for the city. In general, expert consultants are hired to complete these required
documents because of the labor intensive activities needed to complete these reports. Public comment and
participation is the backbone structure of CDBG programming. While some of these reports can be delayed and
implemented in a rolling fashion, they still have to be completed and will absorb funds from the limited 20% cap
maximum limit for administrative costs allowed. The Consolidated Plan ranges from $25,000 to $40,000 and must
be complete before the city would be approved to receive its allotment. This can be reimbursed; however, the city
must front the costs. The other reports range from $5,000 to $10,000 dollars for the initial start-up that then can be
updated by staff.
The IDIS system for reporting programming and expenses to HUD is required. While this is a web-based system,
there will be minimal costs associated with having the appropriate set-up. On-going technical support from the IT
Department will be essential and necessary. In addition, the new federal Transparency Act requirements and
associated reports appear to consume significant staff resources.
While staff have gone through hours of updating our monitoring process, tracking systems and document storage
systems, our current internal corrtrols are sufficient for compliance with our JIA. The infrastructure required by HUD
and in anticipation of preparing to become a direct entitlement city, more work and staff resources are needed to
ensure the city's operations meet HUD guidelines.
Summary:
The consultanYs report, in addition to staff time spent over the past 6 months, examines the question of what
benefit, if any, becoming a Direct Entitlement from HUD will have, and would it be a better option for the City of
Federal Way. To answer this question there appears to be benefits on both sides of the question. Project activities
the ciry has accomplished in the past would have a greater impact and drain and still require Regional Support;
however, determining the greatest needs of the local community could be better served being a direct entitlement.
In general, there is no compelling reason not to engage in the continued Joint Interlocal Agreement; conversely,
there are no compelling reasons not to discontinue the agreement relationship as well. The JIA provides much
more protection and a safe#y net when administering the program activities. The bureaucracy with the additional
layer having King County administratively support the city can be cumbersome and certainly communication at times
has been strained which resulted in less than outstanding outcomes; however, over the years there have been
many program activities that have benefited the city due to the current arrangement.
Specifically, questions 1- 3 on page 15 of the consultanYs report outlined next steps to consider before making the
decision. Question 1 was explored and at this time all mentioned cities are not interested in further negotiations
outside of the JIA. Question 2 the other South King County entitlement cities are not interested in developing a
localized consortium to reduce costs or operate a larger housing repair consortium. No other cities are considering
to opt out of the JIA and in fact at least one of the two newer cities are,committed to opt in, as suggested in
Question 3 this topic be explored.
Determining whether the city would be interested in changing its program mix is a policy decision that neither staff
nor the consultant could answer. Certainly if the city minimized the number of public service agencies they contract
with and then limit the capital project activity to microenterprise and perhaps home repair, both of which are
identified as community needs for Federal Way, managing the entitlement would be done with less risk and
significantly less impact to the Finance Department.
The organizational change that would be involved in transitioning the current work process into a Division that will
receive the entitlement directly needs to be accepted throughout the entire organization. Effecting change is merely
not enough to make a shift of this magnitude for the size of this organization. With organizational support that
allows ownership for controlling the change and then having the city adapt to the change will prove to be a
successful shift in this program. Come short of an organizational buy-in, the risks again to the overall functionality of
the CDBG program could be high for the City of Federal Way if not supported on every level of the organization.
Staff Recommendation:
As staff it is my duty to assess and weigh the overall outcomes of implementing policy change successfully. This is
a very difficult situation for the Human Services Divisional staff and was not made in a vacuum. Detailed
assessments were completed and queries made on all levels of the organization both internally and externally. As
an unbiased participant, a consultant was also asked to make a recommendation based on his work and
assessment. All that being said, there is no one obvious answer on which direction to pursue.
The pros for "Direct EntitlemenY' are that the ciry has its own autonomy from King Counry but also separate from the
Regional King County combined cities. To be frank, it appears as if the struggles for the ciry to fully participate in
the current JRC and JIA structure is the disjointed and fragmented communication between the city and King
County personnel. Staff is trying to determine if the overall outcome change of being a direct entitlement city based
on personnel shortcomings and past experiences is a benefit to the City of Federal Way. The collaborative nature
or lack thereof is strained due to personnel performances and not merely the structure that the city has been
operating under for the past several years. Another jurisdiction outside of King County that is similar in size reported
to staff that their collaborative relationships and open communication have benefited their region to have joint
agreements. While it is true that leveraging and combining CDBG entitlement dollars within the Region would
provide greater opportunity to expunge the balances on the yearly dollars in meaningful ways to benefit the
community it is intended to serve.
Option A: The Human Services Commission recommends that the Ciry of Federal Way continue in its long-standing
Joint Interlocal Agreement with King County. However, it also recommends that the city actively pursue open
communication and convey to King County the necessity to be collaborative by enhancing the working relationships.
Option B: The Human Services Commission recommends that the City of Federal Way provides notice before April
15, 2011 to King County as well as Housing and Urban Development (HUD) of its intent on receiving its entitlement
directly. Which means the city will have to fund the necessary documents required by HUD before the city receives
its entitlement. The 20% Administrative Costs allotment of the entitlement funds will remain with the Human
Services Division to ensure appropriate implementation to safeguard potential liability associated with risk of not
managing the allotment appropriately.
Option C: Other:

Federal Way CDBG Entitlement Feasibility Study
Potential for City of Federal Way to Assume CDBG Entitlement Responsibilities
November 2010
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to assess and present the Pros and Cons of the City of Federal Way assuming
CDBG Entitlement status beginning in 2012; and to study the potential for improving (or deteriorating)
CDBG Prograrn outcomes.
Background:
As an urban city with a population over 50,000, the City of Federal Way receives a HUD CDBG allocation
based on its population, extent of poverty and condition of its housing stock. The grant allocation for
housing and community development activities in the City activities in 2010 is $779,391. For the 2012
program year, the City has the choice of renewing its existing loint Interlocal Agreement (JIA) with King
County to receive and administer the program on behalf of the City or it can choose to receive the funds
directly from HUD. At least 4 other King County Consortium members are considering the same
question (Renton, Shoreline, Kirkland and Redmond). The purpose of this analysis is to provide
information on which the City ean make an informed decision regarding which option would best serve
the City's interests.
Financial Considerations
Annual Funding Stability/Instability
CDBG Entitlement Funds
The City should expect to receive in the area of $750,000 in CDBG funds for the foreseeable future
(notwithstanding any potential drastic changes resulting from the continued economic recession). Since
the legislation forming the CDBG Program was passed in 1974, there has been a federal allocation of
funds for communities every year. For the past 36 years, Congress has seen the Program as a fixture in
providing basic needs of both large and small cities. The Program has significant and powerful support
from the Mayor's Conference and national county government associations. In the early years following
the turn of the century, formula-based Entitlement funding levels for Federal Way were consistently
over $800,000 per year. Beginning in 2006, Entitlement funding levels for the City dropped into the
$700,000 level and only in the 2010 fiscal year has it approached earlier tevels at $779,391. The
proposed FY 2011 Federal budget for the formula-based CDBG Program remains at the same level as the
Congress appropriated funds for FY2010. This means the City can expect approximately $780,000 for
the 2011 program year and a similar amount for the 2012 year. Following are the annual Entitlement
allocations for the City of Federal Way over the past five years, showing a steady funding base,
averaging $738,207 over the period:
Annual Entitlement Allocations for the City of Federal Way 2006-2010
FY 2006 FY 2007 FY 2008 FY 2009 FY 2010
$733,274 $740,582 $714,719 $723,071 $779,391
OtherResources
Program Income - An additional source of program funds is possible from income generated from loans
or deferred loans made with CDBG funds which are repaid. Estimated 2010 program income was
$37,000. Both City and County staff indicate it is likely to drop somewhat in 2011. It is probable (as a
result of recent negotiations between other consortium cities and the County) that future program
income generated from past activities in Federal Way would revert to the City. This is an area that is
subject to negotiation with the County. The current HUD regulations allow the funds to be formally
shifted to a newly qualified Entitlement but they also do not require them to do so and the current
Interlocal agreement does not include any post-agreement termination provisions. While program
income is a relatively small part of the current program, it still represents 5� of total resources.
Regardless of the status of current loans made to Federal Way homeowners, if the City is concerned
about increasing funds available for administration, it can over time, augment its budget by
implementing activities which generate program income such as housing rehabilitation or economic
development loans.
Recaptured Funds — In discussions with King County CDBG staff, it appears that any project activities
that would be open at the time the City would elect for direct Entitlement status would continue to be
administered by the County until the project is completed. However, if funds that have been
programmed to activities eventually do not ultimately proceed, the County would likely re-convey them
to the City. Should this event occur, it is a subject to negotiation between the two entities.
Local Funds to Supplement CDBG Funds - City staff not paid with CDBG resources — In discussions with
other CDBG Entitlements, it is apparent that many cities are supporting program activities through staff
hours that are not charged to the program. It should be noted that in those same discussions, it was
apparent that CDBG-assigned staff do not spend 100% of their time strictly on CDBG activities and, in
fact, CDBG staff were considered an overall asset to the City as a result of their contributions to other
City activities and representations.
Potential Entit/ementAllocation Intreases—There is a potential for increased allocations of CDBG
formula funds. It is estimated that potential annexations of areas in the Growth Management Area
containing approximately 20,000 persons could occur at some point. This could mean as much as
$150,000 additional annual allocations. However, it appears from conversations with City staff that
annexations are very unlikely in the next 3 years, so it would have no or little impact during the up-
coming JIA period.
On-going Costs
There are several major, on-going responsibilities of administering the program, each requiring staff
time and/or expense that the City would have full responsibility for in a direct Entitlement status (for
many of these, the City currently has full or partial responsibility under "pass-through" provisions of the
current County Consortium Contract):
Developing the Annual Action Plan — The Annual Action Plan requires citizen participation, at least 2
hearings, review and selection of projects, preparation of a written plan, publishing notices in
newspaper (at least 3 legal notices annually).
Program Management — Overall management of the program assures compliance with the HUD
requirements and public trust.
Program Documentation/Record-keeping Systems — Within these requirements, the eligibiliry of
program beneficiaries and eligibility of activities are among the most important.
Annual Program Progress Reporting — An annual report (CAPERS) to HUD and the public is required
annually. The City currently provides some of the information for the County report while the County
provides the rest.
Contracting and Contract Management — Contracts with Sub-recipients and private contractors will
need to be developed and managed. County models or other Entitlement City models could be used.
Fiscal Management —
• LOCs system management
• Payment of funds to sub-recipients and contractors
� Audits and the costs of a periodic audit
Sub-recipient Reporting — IDIS is one of the most difficult requirements to manage. Training of staff
would be required to meet these data keeping requirements.
Sub-recipient Training and Technical /lssistance — To assure compliance with the requirements so that
the City itself remains in compliance with HUD requirements, training and technical assistance of sub-
recipients is necessary periodically.
Sub-recipient Monitoring — If the City has sub-contracts, periodic monitoring of the sub-recipient's
performance and compliance is required.
Federal Davis-Bacon Wage Rate Monitoring — If public works construction contracts are entered into,
the City is responsible for monitoring federal and state wage rates.
Environmental Reviews and Clearances— Depending on the project activity, this may be fairly simple or
it may be complex.
Loan Servicing for Housing and Economic Development Loans, if applicable - If there is program income
from loan or recapture activities, these funds must be accounted for and used for eligible activities.
Preparation for, and Responses to, HUD Monitoring — HUD periodically monitors (site audits)
Entitlements for compliance, progress and performance. These visits often involve both preparation
and significant attention during the monitoring visit. An early visit within a year should be expected and
if relatively clean, several years may pass before a subsequent monitoring visit is made.
Staff Training — New staff will need training. While HUD provides periodic training, it is often only
available at regional or national training sites which will require travel expenses. If asked, the local HUD
office will try to accommodate a request for 1-1 training.
Estimated Cost of Administering Activities Based on the 2011 Proposed
Activities
In order to determine the approximate cost of potential planning and administration as a direct grantee
with the full program responsibilities of a CDBG Entitlement, we reviewed two sources. First, to
determine the probable budget for 2011, we used the July 19 staff report to the Human Services
Commission outlining potential project activities for the 2011 Program Year. We then used a survey to
obtain comparative data from 6 other CDBG Entitlement communities in the state of Washington with
similar entitlement allocations. We later decided to limit the use of information from the City of
Bellingham because they receive a much higher level of program income ($237,000 annually).
If we assume the 2011 HUD CDBG allocation remains essentially the same as 2010 ($779,000) and there
is no program income available, approximately $156,000 would be available for planning and
administration of the program (this is a conservative estimate as it now appears that a small amount of
program income would become available to the City).
As can be seen by the attached "Comparable CDBG Entitlements in the State of Washington (CDBG
Funds only)", the average amount of resources available to the five most similar Entitlements is
4
$741,000, approximating Federal Way resources of $779, while the average number of programs
managed (8.4) by the others is 23% less than the probable number of Federa) Way projects (il).
Program Mix
In general, the larger the number of project activities administered, the iarger the administrative budget
(including financial staff). But even more important than the number of activities, is the type of projects
managed. For instance, staffing of a housing rehabilitation program can be paid from the housing
rehabilitation program budget, whereas administration and support for a public works construction
projects must come from the administration budget. Construction projects involving public works
require a significant amount of monitoring and documentation, including administration of the Davis-
Bacon Wage Rate and envi�onmental review and clearance requirements.
The five most comparable cities used approximately $113,000 of their resources and consumed 1.47
CDBG-funded FTEs for basic administration costs of the program. The average amount of funds spent by
these other Entitlements on administration was 14%, indicating that some Entitlements are using some
of the funds for planning activities within the 20� cap on planning and administration funds and some
(most notably Bellevue and Kennewick) have chosen to use a significant portion of funds — available
within the planning and administration cap - for project activities. And in those two cities, other non-
CDBG funds are used to pay for a portion of the planning and administration costs. It should be noted
that it was very difficult for Entitlement staff to estimate with accuracy the FTEs committed to the
program from non-CDBG sources - so the extent of other funds used to support the program may be
underestimated.
Estimated Administrative Costs
If the City were to choose to administer the CDBG directly in 2012, they would need to budget for
additional FTEs. Looking at the comparative data, the kind of projects proposed for Federal Way in 2011
and taking into account the somewhat higher number of activities projected compared to other CDBG
Entitlements, the City may want to budget for 1.75-2.25 FTEs to assure that adequate staffing is
available.
Assuming an average staff cost of $40.00/hour including benefits, 2 FTEs would be approximately
$10,000 more than the $156,000 that would is likely to be available from CDBG Program resources. This
is approximately double the $81,607 budget in the 2010 administrative budget (which is for a more
limited scope of program responsibilities). Other costs for travel, mileage, training, public notices, etc.
may add $5,000-$10,000/year. If program income could be generated or a slightly less expensive mix of
program activities were programmed, on-going program expenses would be almost cost-neutral for the
City. And, once systems have been established after a year or two of administering the full
requirements, a slightly lower level of FTE consumption may be sufficient to operate the program. In
addition to these on-going costs, there are infrequent, periodic costs outlined in the next section that
will likely require City resources.
5
City Finance Office staff indicated that adding any responsibilities to the Office beyond their existing
responsibilities for CDBG, would cause a"tipping point" to be reached, resulting in the need for an
additional position within the Office. Also of concern to the Office should the City seek Entitlement
status at this time were several unknowns. Among those are the program activities mix (including the
impact on FTEs) and the need to carefully plan for how the Office would gain the level of expertise and
experience necessary for direct grant administration.
Start-up Costs/Pre-Agreement costs
Should the City determine it is in their best interests to become a direct grantee, there are both
obligations to be met and resources to defray the start-up costs of ineeting those obligations.
Obligations
There are two major documents that must be prepared during the start-up stage or shortly following the
start-up of a new Entitlement.
1. Development of a Five Year Consolidated Plan. Every S years, Entitlement cities must prepare a
Housing and Community Development Five Year Consolidated Plan. The plan must be
developed prior to the first year of an Entitlement program. The plan has value beyond being a
pre-requisite for CDBG funding as it can serve as a guide to action in housing, community
development and human services. The vast majority of Entitlement communities enter
contracts with consultants to conduct a planning process to develop a Consolidated Plan largely
because of the concentrated time commitment necessary to prepare the Plan, their staff's lack
of experience in preparing the Plan and the typical consultant's familiarity with the
requirements and facilitating the planning process. In almost all cases of communities gaining
Entitlement status for the first time, consultants are contracted to complete the plan. Once the
pattern of a plan has been developed and a base of information is available, it is easier for the
community to prepare future plans. (It is recognized that a"Federal Way 2006-2010
Consolidated Plan" was developed 4 years ago. While some of the needs/market analysis data
could be used, most of the information would need to be updated and the strategies would
need to be redeveloped. In addition, there have been some changes to the requirements since
then- most notably the performance measurement requirements.) A factor in determining
whether to do this in-house is that some of the changes in HUD's suggested format have made
the plan somewhat easier to prepare. However, it remains a time-consuming task. The cost for
consultant services to prepare a 2012-16 Consolidated Plan and an Annual Action Plan is
estimated in the $25,000-$40,000 range. City staff could potentially prepare the Annual Action
Plan reducing the overall cost.
2. Assessment of the Impediments to Fair Housing (AI). Most the Entitlement communities do
not prepare the initial AI in-house. Roughly one-half prepare the updates every 4-5 years with
staff. There are some technical areas in preparing the AI but HUD generally does not make a
close quality check of the contents. In fact it is not required to be submitted to HUD for
approval; and Entitlements are only required to "prepare" an AI, including a description of
actions to be taken to implement recommendations to overcome identified impediments. The
AI does not have to be completed in the first or second year - although it is more efficient and
cost effective to prepare it during or shortly after the Consolidated Plan is prepared as some of
the data and interviews are complementary. If it is contracted to a consultant, the costs range
from $4,000-$9,000.
3. Other costs: Also to be developed is an Anti-Displacement and Relocation Plan — this is a
simple document that HUD has developed a Guide form to fill out so the costs are minimal. In
addition, a Citizen Participation Plan specific to the Con Plan must be developed if the City does
not already have one. This not a major task; and this Plan can be created in 3-4 hours.
Probably the most time-consuming effort in start-up will be setting up the filing/record-keeping
system and the HUD financial reporting and IDIS reporting system. There may be some initial
phase-in costs to cover the need for specialized attention for such things as IDIS set up, fiscal
record-keeping, program development, etc. that could add to the first or second year costs.
These might be obtained through administrative contracts or extra part-time FTEs. These
activities may either be covered within the personnel making up the 2.0 FTEs (depending on
their particular skills and expertise) or may add up to $10,000 in start-up costs.
Resources
The City can use their Entitlement funds beginning two years before their first program year as a direct
grantee if they request authority to incur pre-agreement costs of the Seattle HUD Office. Such costs are
limited to 25� of the Entitlement (or approximately $195,000). Most of the these pre-agreement costs
are related to planning and staffing to begin setting up files (which will be a lesser task in the Federal
Way case as they have been keeping records on beneficiaries and financial records). It should be
remembered that planning and administrative costs are capped at 20� of the annual Entitlement, so
these pre-agreement costs will count against that cap for up to two years' of Entitlement allocations.
Financial Summary
The national CDBG Program is a very stable program; and the Ciry could expect a stable amount of both
program and administrative funds for the CDBG Program for many years. If the City elects to administer
a direct Entitlement program in 2012, it is suggested 1.75-2.25 FTEs be budgeted. This assumes a
program mix that is similar to the draft 2011 activities listed in the July staff report. The $156,000
available for CDBG planning and administration expenses is almost sufficient to provide for on-going
staffing at this level. It is estimated that the shortfall to cover other administrative support costs would
be $5,000-$10,000. In addition, start up expenses may add $5,000-$10,000 in the first year depending
on several factors. If the City undertakes activities which generate future program income, the annual,
on-going gap could be reduced significantly over time. The Program mix or types of program could
make a major impact by reducing or increasing FTE consumption to come within the available funds.
If the Consolidated Plan and the Assessment of Impediments to Fair Housing (AI) are prepared through
contracts for services, there will be costs every five years that are likely to be in excess of available
funds. These two planning activities will need to take place in the first two years. If the City chooses to
seek consultant assistance to prepare them, approximately $45,000 should be budgeted in the first two
years. The combination of conducting these planning activities, meeting the suggested staffing levels
and paying for other administrative expenses will not fit within the first year budget. There are two
steps the City can take to mitigate this: First, the AI can be deferred to a future year (but would need to
be in place within three years at the latest). Second, HUD regulations allow the City to request
authorization to incur costs prior to the grant award up to 25% of the grant in order to pay for the cost
of preparing for the grant; and after award of the initial grant these funds can be paid out of CDBG
grants over the next two years.
Finally, two issues should be addressed ear�y in the decision process: 1) program mix is a critical factor in
determining staffing needs, including fiscal, and should be determined early in any decision to assume
Entitlement status; and 2) a strategy for obtaining the expertise needed to successfully administer the
program.

Other Major Considerations
There are a number of non-financial considerations and issues that need to be considered. Below is an
issue by issue discussion.
Flexibility/Control Over Project Activity Choice
Membership in the Consortium results in a number of program/project restrictions emanating from the
necessity to have common programs and procedures for efficiency in the King County Consortium. The
County has layered requirements on top of HUD eligibility requirements restrirting project type and
number per year (such as limitations to 2 stand-along capital projects and 4 stand-alone public services
projects).
On the other hand, if the City were to administer the program, there would financial limitations on the
number and types of programs/projects they could effectively administer because of administrative cost
inefficiencies and the necessity of becoming experts on a broader range of program requirements than
currently. The County currently provides a management service taking advantage of a larger workload
among Consortium members to which they can spread costs.
Another factor is the ability and speed of the City to modify or change its programs/projects in mid-year.
The County discourages multiple amendments because of process and costs, whereas the City could
make that choice whether to pursue a formal amendment complete with hearings and public notices.
The City's ability to respond quickly to a needed change is stronger under a direct Entitlement status
than it is currentty. Additionally, the County prohibits amendments from July through October whereas
if the City were the direct recipient, amendments could be submitted to HUD almost year-round. This
has resulted in a more limited ability to undertake activities that may be a higher local priority or
respond quickly to a local need.
There are three crucial questions related to the issue of flexibility to choose program activities:
1) Are the activities currently being funded under the County Consortium reflective of the City's
priorities? City Community Development staff could not recall any cases in recent years where
the City was prevented from following one of its priorities due to a County policy or procedure.
However, City Community Development staff indicated that, although they have had few
proposals for infrastructure projects, these were the project type they might pursue more if
they were a direct grantee. In addition, they expressed that the combination of the slow
process of working through the County on changes/amendments, along with the Consortium's
program mix restrictions, theoretically limits what they could do. If Federal Way were a direct
grantee and wanted to respond to a local priority, these issues would not be present.
9
2) A related question is: If the City were a direct grantee, would it have the capacity to carry out
the full range of activities? In other words, would there be practical issues that would prevent
the City from carrying out activities even if they had that opportunity as a direct grantee? It was
recognized that as a direct grantee the City may still not be able to carry out all types and
numbers of activities because of administrative or technical capacity issues. For example, would
the City have the capacity to administer the Davis Bacon Labor Standards on two capital projects
in a given year?
3) Are there activities not currently being funded that would be carried out if the City were a direct
grantee? In recent years, the City has undertaken few economic development activities and
only a few public works projects have been proposed. There appears to be needs in community
for these types of projects but they have not been generated to date.
If the restrictions placed on the Consortium members are resulting in the City's inability to meet its own
priorities or desired activities, and the City would likely carry out different activities if it had direct
Entitlement status, there would be a strong case for becoming a direct grantee.
Administrative Layering
In order to provide services to Consortium members, some administrative layering of requirements and
processes is inevitable. Most of the requirements affecting the program are pass-through requirements
of the Federal Program. On the other hand, the County must add a layer of County-level requirements
and procedures necessary whenever it contracts with other parties. These do not appear to be major
deterrents to effective program management but do add somewhat to the administrative burden and
timing of actions.
However, one area of concern is over the contracting process, especially related to Program Year start
ups. HUD is chronically late in contracting with Entitlements for funds because the annual Congressional
appropriations process often drifts into early spring. As a consequence, even though the King County
CDBG Program Year begins on January 1 each year, the contract (and eventually access for funds
through the LOCCS/King County fiscal system) does not take place until early spring. Jurisdictions
wishing to continue on-going projects or start new projects on a timely basis, must up-front local funds
which are later reimbursed by HUD. While it is unlikely (because the City's fiscal year is also January—
December) the City would want to change the program year to a later date to avoid this hardship if they
were a direct recipient, the City would have the flexibility to so. Irrespective of these potential changes,
the process of obtaining funds as a direct recipient would be expedited by a matter of weeks if the
annual contracting process with HUD was directly between the City and HUD.
10
Federal Program Responsibilities
Under CDBG Program rules, the direct recipient of funds is required to comply with al) program laws,
rules and regulations. The Joint Interlocal Agreement (JIA) recognizes these as a County responsibility
but also passes to the City compliance with ".... All relevant requirements of federal laws and regulations
that apply to King County as the applicant......" (under Section VII. H of the Agreement).
The JIA requires that the City assign a staff member as liaison to the Consortium to provide information
and attend meetings with the County and Consortium members. There is a City cost in time and energy
in attending these meetings and providing this information. On the other hand, most of the
information would need to be managed by the City if it were a direct Entitlement. For instance, the
CAPERs (Annual Performance Report) contains information that the City supplies (and the County
provides for programs such as the Home Repair Program it administers for the City and other members).
The County also is responsible for preparing the CAPERs document for submission to HUD.
There are several major program responsibilities that the County provides (or partially provides under
the JIA):
1. Preparation of Annual Plan and Consolidated Plans & amendments
2. Setting up projects in the HUD information management system (IDIS)
3. Administration of and reporting on the Housing Stabilization and Housing Repair Programs
4. Request and disbursement of Federal funds (LOCCS)
5. Liaison with and responses to HUD
There are several major areas that are joint responsibilities (in each of these there is actual or potential
County/City duplication of effort):
1. Environmental Review and Clearance responsibilities (City may need to provide information
on the project)
2. Davis Bacon Labor Standards (City will need to attend pre-construction meetings facilitated
by County staff)
3. Monitoring Program Activities
In these and other responsibilities, there are necessarily some areas of inefficiency built into the system
by the division of responsibilities of the City and the Consortium:
� Joint participation in Davis Bacon Labor Standards meetings
• Reports to the County on project activities
� The County monitors the City for compliance and record-keeping
• There are required quarterly meetings (although, in part, these are used by the County to
update City staff and provide them technical assistance)
11
There is great value for direct CDBG recipients having technical and program expertise —something the
County already possesses. It is unlikely that the City, in a direct recipient role, could fully replace the
level of expertise (irrespective of City intent and staff capabilities) currently provided by the County staff
because the specialization that is inherent in the County Consortium role allows them to maintain a
higher level of expertise. If the City were to become a direct grantee, it would be monitored by HUD
staff and subject to Audit. This might result in some findings and the need to resolve them.
However, it is clearly possible for cities the size of Federal Way to provide enough staffing and expertise
to adequately administer the CDBG Program. There are currently 30 communities in the State of
Washington with 2010 CDBG allocations and almost half (14) receive smaller allocations than Federal
Way. Apart from Shoreline and Renton, who are in the King County Consortium, all receive their CDBG
grants as direct recipients from HUD. While probably all have had some findings or concerns reported
by HUD at some point in time (that the jurisdiction responded to and corrected}, it has been rare that
HUD or HUD Auditors have raised serious management/compliance issues related to those
communities.
Impact on Enhancing Partnerships & Relationships
Regional Relationships
There is value to the existing relationship the City enjoys with King County as a Consortium member.
This offers networking opportunities and joint project solutions. To a minor extent this would be
diminished under a direct HUD grantee relationship. At this point in time there seems to be a high level
of interest on the part of several cities to meet, coordinate and cooperate on a range of subjects.
Regardless of the Federal Way decision on Entitlement status, the City can take advantage of these
opportunities. The City can still be part of the HOME Consortium, ESG Consortium and is part of the
County Homeless Continuum.
Sub-Regional Relationships
On the other hand, there has been a growing South King County regional presence. This could be
enhanced through cooperative efforts involving the CDBG Programs of Federal Way, Kent, Renton, and
Auburn through the implementation of common programs in housing or capital facilities. Shared and
coordinated planning efforts are currently possible. It does not appear that that direct Entitlement
status would necessarily hurt existing partnerships with the possible exception of the Federal Way-King
County government relationship.
There are few, strong non-profit agencies operating in Federal Way — a concern voiced by City staff
whether the CDBG program is operated under the Consortium or as a direct recipient. There are several
non-profit housing developers operating in the area that could serve Federal Way, including Common
Ground, Fusion, LIHI, the Archdiocese Housing Authority and Mercy Housing.
12
King County Relationships
The County sees the CDBG Consortium as a viable means of cooperative efforts in housing and
community development in the area. They see the Quarterly meetings as an avenue for networking,
information exchange and technical assistance with Consortium members that benefit the individual
cities as well as regional efforts. Continuing participation in the HOME Consortium and ESG allocations
keep these doors open. If Federal Way were to leave the Consortium, the County has indicated they
would need to reduce FTEs and potentially reduce service/increase fees charged to other city members.
The Entitlement decision should not impact on the City's participation in the King County HOME
Consortium, but the City will have to make that separate decision to continue. The City also has
potential access to the Emergency Shelter Grant through the County and the HIV/AIDS HOPWA through
the Puget Sound Consortium. The CDBG decision should not directly impact any aspect of these
programs.
Other Local Government Relationships
The CDBG decision should not impact the cities relationship with other cities in the county.
Washington State Government Relationships
There would be no apparent impact on State relationships.
HUD Relationships
HUD has no formal position on whether a community takes on direct Entitlement status. HUD expects
communities to make their own choices and supports those decisions. In the past 3 years, jurisdictions
with newly qualifying Entitlement status have become direct recipients in several small cities in the
State, including Mt Vernon, Longview, Anacortes and most recently East Wenatchee, the last two with
annual allocations of less than $125,000. If several Consortium jurisdictions became direct Entitlements,
there would be some limitations on HUD time staff allocated to the new communities as increasing their
staffing (if justified) is typically a drawn out process.
13
Summary
There are some sound reasons for Federal Way to remain in the CDBG Consortium as well as reasons
why they might consider leaving the Consortium and opportunities that may open if they made that
choice. Three primary areas of consideration in the decision stand out: financial feasibility and cost;
ease of administration; and program control/flexibility of choice.
Financially, there is a safety factor in remaining in the Consortium. For the most part, the costs are
known and the sources are non-city (there is some potential for increases in administrative fees the
County may charge however). If the City were to opt for direct grantee status, there would be initial
start-up costs (largely planning) that are unlikely to be able to be covered within the 20% administrative
and ptanning cap. There may also be a modest amount ($5,000-$10,000) of annual supplement needed
to cover all administrative costs. This assumes the type and number of programs which would be
administered remains about the same currently. A change in program mix would likely result in either
reduced or increased costs as this is a major determinant.
Administratively, there is no compelling need to opt out of the Consortium for reasons of inability to
work with County staff or within the Consortium — according to City CDBG staff the working
relationships between the two entities is generally adequate. The City can obtain the capacity to
effectively administer the program. On the other hand, they would p�obably struggle somewhat with
technical capacity, particularly during the first 2 years -just as other new direct grantees have struggled.
Additional staff would need to be hired or assigned. A positive outcome of the direct grantee option
would be that local administration of the program would expedite decision-making, contracting and
fund disbursement.
Programmatically, the City would potentially have more control over what the CDBG funds are used for
than they currently have under the Consortium. This is due to program/project choice restrictions
imposed by the County Consortium. However, an over-riding central issue is, if the City were to simply
continue to operate the same mix of programs as a direct grantee, the value of this increased program
flexibility and control would be essentially nil. Since there appear to be few major compelling reasons
for change/not changing in Federal Way's case, this may help define the decision. If programmatic
choice would remain the same under both systems, there would be few incentives for change.
14
Next Steps
If a decision is made to consider pursuing direct Entitlement status, the following steps should be
considered before making a formal decision and advising HUD and the County:
1. Before making a final decision, suggest working closely with Kirkland, Shoreline, Renton and
Redmond to determine if there are common interests that could affect the negotiations in
closing out the Consortium relationships and in particular determining if there is an interest in
negotiating any set of administrative services that could to be provided by the County in areas
such as Acquisition/Relocation requirements, Davis-Bacon/Labor Standards in shared funding
capital projects (or inclusion in the County capital projects consortium subject to HUD rules on
use of funds outside of the jurisdiction).
2. Before making a final decision, explore with other South King County Entitlements and other
smaller Consortium cities the potential areas of program implementation where cooperation
among potential partners could result in administrative savings or efficiencies of scale such as
entering into administrative agreements to operate a housing rehabilitation program and Davis-
Bacon requirements.
3. Before making a final decision, attempt to determine if other cities are likely to opt out of the
Consortium and then discuss with the County if there are likely to monetary implications
regarding spreading the administrative costs between fewer members in the Consortium.
4. Use the attached Decision-Filter Tools to further assess the value of potential direct Entitlement
status and, in particular, determine the value to the City of changing the current program mix.

About Federal Way City Center
Federal Way City Center is in the midst of a transformation from a traditional suburban form to a
vibrant urban center. Bound by So. 312� Street on the north, Interstate 5 on the east, So. 324�
Street on the south, and the Pacific Highway corridor on the w�st -- and comprising 414 acres --
the area features 2.7 million square feet of existing retail space (much of it large format), more
than 650 hotel rooms, 225,000 square feet of office and 890 multifamily residential units. The
community hosts world-class cultural institutions, engaging open spaces, and close proximity to
regional educational and health care institutions.
While City Center has seen continuing investment in retail and commercial projects, it has not
seen the same influx of new urban mixed-use developments containing a denser mix of
commercial uses and urban housing as other urbanizing suburban communities in the Pacific
Northwest. Urban housing, lifestyle-oriented retail/service development and mixed-use
development are a core component of every successful downtown as they add vitality to the
streets, diversity to the skyline, and buying power to the economy. Even more importantly,
however, is that such uses would satisfy a well documented demand for urban, lifestyle-oriented
living that is currendy lacking in the Federal Way
market. Far these reasons, the Project represents a
unique opportunity to capture part of the Seattle-
Tacoma region's burgeoning market for urban
housing and commercial uses in a mixed-use, lifestyle-
oriented format.
The most recent market analysis far the greater
Federal Way City Center trade area suggested the
following:
• Population and household growth consistent
with the metro area as a whole at;
Median household estimates in a five-mile
radius of City Center were also found to be City Center (showrng the 5tte hignligntea in reaJ
higher than the same area around its two
major retail competitors - Tacoma Mall and Southcenter Mall;
Based on supply and demand conditions across all major land uses, market conditions
support new construction, greater diversification of development types and the potential
for a vital urban center.
The City has a number of tools available to assist landowners, developers and investors
undertaking this and other development and redevelopment projects in the City Center. These
are described later in this Request.

Project Vision and Principles
The City is seeking to select a development
team who shares the enthusiasm and vision
for a vibrant downtown Federal Way as a
place to live, work, shop, and play. The
Project envisions a dense mix of uses,
featuring urban housing, commercial uses
and significant open spaces. A central
approach for the renaissance of City Center
consists of encouraging strategic investment
in a compact environment that contains an
appropriate mix of land uses, gives greater
emphasis to multiple forms of access, and
creates a unique sense of place.
VISIOCI
The Federal Way City Center will be highly
urbanized, mixed-use urban center with a
concentration of housing units, commercial
uses, jobs and public spaces supporting
public transportation, pedestrian activity and
a unique sense of place. Predominant land
uses will be residential, commercial and civic
uses. The Project should serve as a catalyst
within this urban center, designed to bring an
active and vital mix of uses to the area in a pedestrian-friendly, transit-supportive format.
Different land uses will be found side by side or within the same structures. The mix of uses will
be located in a development with minimal setbacks, reduced parking requirements, and taller
structures, all in an effort to achieve higher densities necessar ty o support the unique °sense of
lap ce• It will serve as a catalyst for public and private investment and economic activity,
effectively building off the strengths of the surrounding area and connecting to the adjacent
neighborhoods.
Desired Components of the Vision
The desired components of this catalyst Project include the following:
■ Highest and best use of the site
■ Mid- to high-rise buildings as well as low-rise components, achieving the sense of an
"organic° village of structures, not a single "project."
■ Mix of uses -- residential (both lease / own), office, retail, service, entertainment, or
institutional, etc.
■ A significant public open space in a"town square" farmat that is seamlessly integrated with
surrounding development for activation, programming, passive vigilance, etc., and includinQ
both re� enscape and hardscape components, as well as art work and/or artistic expression.
■ Superior urban design, site planning and building design
� City Center Mixed-Use Development page 7
RFQ: Federai Way City Center Mixed-Use Development
■ Adherence to the Development Goals and Principles enunciated below.
Development Goals and Principles
As a development catalyst in a significant location in the Federal Way City Center, the Project
should embody the best of Smart Growth principles and should be an urban design showcase.
The final development plan to be prepared by the selected developer should incorporate these
goals and principles as a fundamental part of the plan:
Goals:
■ Address underserved market niche
■ Support stabilization and diversification
■ Provide direction for targeting and leveraging public investment
■ Advance a market-tested stakeholder vision over the near- and long-term (as expressed
herein)
■ Advance a physically and economically sustainable plan
Principles:
■ Smart Growth Principles, as defined by the American Planning Association (APA),1998,
including:
■ Efficient use of land resources;
■ Full use of urban services;
■ Mix of uses;
■ Transportation options; and
■ Detailed, human-scale design.
■ "Green" or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) development principles
to the extent feasible (LEED rating not required)
■ Provide maxunum o�portunities for viable mixed-use commercial development.
• Contribute to the creation of a unique sense o�lace in the Federal Way City Center.
■ Provide a variety of urban housing opportunities.
■ Provide interesting and active fa�ades at the street level.
■ Respect and interact with surrounding property values and land uses.
Incentives
The City recognizes the physical and financial challenges that can accompany infill
redevelopment, especially when compared with development of vacant "greenfield" sites.
Consequently, the City intends to consider measures that may help to level the investment and
regulatory playing fields. The City further recognizes that no single measure will address this
objeciive, but rather that a series of ineasures, designed to capitalize on market opportunities and
overcome barriers, may be appropriate.
The City has identified the following potential partnership incentives and is willing to discuss
their possible application to an appropriate redevelopment project:
City Center Mixed-Use Development page 8
RFQ: Federal Way City Center Mixed-Use Development
■ Public funds may be made available to help finance public components, such as public open
space, infrastructure, and public parking. The Cit�s Local Infrastructure Financing Tool
(LIF'T) award by the State may be available to provide contributory funding for these
purposes.
■ Up to 12-year limited property tax exemption may be available for residential development
and certain mixed-use development components;
■ City Center environmental impact statement and resulting Planned Action Ordinance that
substantially lessens the SEPA environmental review burden for individual developers
within the City Center Planned Action Area (that includes the Site).
■ City Center zoning that allows for higher-density uses and from low-rise to high-rise
construction;
■ Building Code provisions that allow 5-story wood-frame-over-concrete construction;
■ Provision of a lead staff contact for the Project to facilitate and expedite permit approvals
among various City departments, consistent with the development goals identified in the
RFQ;
■ Citizen outreach and assistance with public meetings;
■ Other incentives as negotiated.
Incentives potentially available from the City are not intended to replace other project financing
from private sources. Rather, they are intended to be flexible resources that can potentially
bridge funding gaps which may be created by the sometimes more difficult nature of such
preprogrammed, infill developments.
Once City-identified criteria are satisfactorily addressed, staff will work with the developer or
development team to further analyze specific details about the project's financial pro forma and
other factors, as warranted. Any potential financial assistance to the project will be determined
based upon the nature and extent of the "gap' between the total project costs, the amount of
public components, and the amount of private investment available to cover those costs,
assuming a market-average rate of return on the private investment. Based upon this
information, City staff will then recommend the extent of the City's potential financial
participation in the project. Moreover, the level of any potential City financial participation will
be dependent, in part, on the fiscal impact of the project to the community and expected private
investment leverage resulting from its participation. The ultimate goal will be to make the
project economically self-supporting as quickly as possible.

RFQ: Federal Way City Center Mixed-Use Development
Selection Process
Process
An evaluation committee of stakeholders from the community and City staff will review the
developer submittaLs. Additionally, the City's Community and Economic Development Director
will contact references and brief committee members on those findings. Also, if needed, the
committee will ask for and review supplemental written responses.
The evaluation committee will evaluate each RFQ respondent's strength vis-�-vis the evaluation
criteria and will determine a composite ranking of the respondents. Based upon the composite
rankings, the Federal Way City Council will select approximately three (3) of the RFQ
respondents to be invited to respond to a more detailed Request for Proposal.
Evaluation Criteria
Submittals will be evaluated based on the following criteria, listed here in order of importance:
1. Qualifications of Firm and Relevant Experience/ Projects: The City seeks a development team
with demonstrated experience in mid- to large-scale commercial, residential and/or mixed-
use projects, as well as with the financial capacity to develop such projects.
2. Relevant Public/Private Partnership Experience: Since the Project may include a public-
private partnership, any relevant prior experience in similar partnerships should be noted.
3. Development concept. Each development team should present an illustrative development
concept for the Site. If selected to respond to the RFP, the development team will have
latitude to develop said concept broadly in preparation of a schematic proposal that is
financially viable.
4. References: The City will contact references to evaluate past performance and working
relationships.
Development teams are cautioned not to undertake any activities or actions to promote ar
advertise their submittal, other than discussions with the City staff as described in this RFQ.
After the release of this RFQ, developers and their representatives are not permitted to make any
direct or indirect contact with members of the Evaluation Committee, Federal Way City Council,
other Federal Way boards or commissions, or media on the subject of this RFQ, except in the
course of City evaluation committee-sponsored presentations. Violation of these rules is grounds
for disqualification of the development proposal and team.

Within fifteen (15) days of selection as an RFP finalist, the developer or development team must
submit to the City a written statement of intent to submit a complete RFP response, pursuant to
the following requirements:
Within forty-five (45) days (or whatever other timeline expressly set out by the City of Federal
Way) of selection as an RFP finalist, the developer or development team will be required to
submit:
■ Detailed financial and development cost information relating to the proposed development
concept, including preliminary pro forma financial analysis;
■ Preliminary development timeline, including any expected development phasing;
■ Proposed public participation in the project, if any, or other significant "deal points."
■ A project site plan, exterior elevations, dimension of site and building (s) and d'unensions of
property liens, and project sections;
■ Discussion of proposed program for major building material, finishes and colors;
■ A landscaping plan and designation of public and semi-public areas; and
■ Vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns, including parking layouts.
Proposals from invited respondents will be reviewed by City Council, with City staff assistance.
It is anticipated that respondents will make a public presentation of their proposals and be
available for in-person interviews.
The selected developer or development team will negotiate with the City to reach mutually
agreeable terms for acquisition and development of the Site. It is envisioned that these terms will
first be outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and then finalized in a Purchase
and Sale Agreement with Development Covenants (Agreement).
After final selection, the selected developer or development organization will be required to
provide detailed financial statements and agree to a criminal background check. Control of
sensitive financial documents will be reviewed by an independent agent (i.e., CPA) under
attorney client privilege and will not be made public. Further, the selected developer must agree
to an "open book" process in which the City can review on-going financials and assure that there
is no inappropriate windfall profit arising from public property.

Exhibit 5:
City Council-Adopted
Criteria for Public-Private Partnerships in City Center
Preference for public participation will be given to projects that rate highly with regard to the
following guidelines and/or objectives:
The proposed development is comprised of (or contains) a mix of uses in a variety of
building sizes and heights, and/or offers a"village" or "lifestyle center° site and building
design, with such elements as street-oriented storefronts, outdoor eating and dining, and
outdoor public amenities, such as artwork, fountains, plazas and seating. Projects with the
greatest mix of uses (retail/ service, residential, lodging and office) will be given priority.
Phasing may be allowed to accomplish the full mix of uses contemplated in a development
concept.
■ The proposed development is transit-oriented in design and concept, where feasible,
especially when in proximity to the Transit Center;
■ The proposed development is of superior site and building design, including use of high-
quality materials. Parking facilities (both surface lots and structures) are aesthetically
pleasing and integrated into the design of the overall project. Parking structures include
street-level uses and/or are preferably be wrapped by other uses, where possible, to reduce
their apparent bulk and mass.
■ The proposed development is located within the City Center and is of sufficient scale and
scope to have a substantial unpact on the image and desirability of the City Center and
suggests a high probability of inducing additional, spin-off development;
■ The proponent can provide a solid track record with similar private development (previous
experience in public-private partnerships desirable);
■ The project is projected to provide additional jobs at a variety of levels. Projects with family-
wage and higher-paying jobs will rate more highly against this guideline.
■ The proponent provides an economic impact analysis. A detailed analysis and estimate of
the projec�s direct economic impact in increased property, utility, and sales taxes, as well as
an analysis and estimate of indirect economic impacts by multiplier effects throughout the
local economy;
■ When selected for partnership consideration, the proponent provides a financial "gap'
analysis, including development costs, projected revenue, disclosure of developer's desired
capitalization rate, internal rate of return (based on other portfolio projects), etc., in order to
determine the necessary level of public participaiion.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLA►��TNING COlV�MISSION
Amendment to Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC�
Chapter 19.140, "Signs"
File No.10-104254-00-UP
Planning Commission Meeting of Novem6er 3, 2010
BACKGROUND
On October 3, 2010, the City Council gave staff direction to prepare a caie amendmeat to allow
portable signs to be located in street side planter strips within the right-of-way.
II. DISCUSSION
Pursuant to Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.140, portable signs are presently permitted in the
pubiic right-of-way subject to the condirions of FWRC 19.140.060(29xa) through (29x&).
Limita.tions include FWItC 19.140.060(29), which states that portable signs are not to be placed in
street medians or in street side plaater strips. It has been noted that in many areas within the city, a
stceet side planter strip is the only location available to safety locate a portable sign when there is no
other feasible location due to various factors, including but not limited to the absence of a sidewalk.
The placement of portable signs in street medians may adversely impact road safety and is not
endorsed. However, portable signs that are properly tocated with'tn street side ptanter strips would
keep pedestrian corridors c(ear and would not create traffic safety issues. Further, maintenance can
still occur in street side planter strips as portable signs can be easity relocated.
To avoid obstructing sight distance at iutersections and driveways and not impact traveler safety,
portable signs need to be outside of the sight distance triangle reserve area of street side planter
strips. The sight distance triangie reserve area is based on an area having two 30-foot sides along the
protongation or continuation of lines from the face of the curb, or if no curb exists, the edge of the
pavement at each intersection or driveway. A drawing is provided for reference. By incorporating
these parameters, this code amendment would allow portabte signs to be placed in the str�t side
planter strips within the right-of- way while protecting Qublic infrastructure and property, and
promoting traffic and traveler safety.
The draft code amendment is enctosed as Exhibit A. Language proposed to be deleted is shown as
stt�eeteEE and any proposed new language would be shown as undertine. Under this amendment to
19.140.060(29), portable signs wouId be allowed in the street side planter strips of the rig6t-of-way
as follows:
(29) Portable signs located in the public right-0f-way subject to the following standards:
(a) S'tgns may not be affixed to the ground, including through the use of stakes or other means
that may damage propecty;
(b) No more than two signs are a(lowed per event and no person may have more itian two signs at
any one time, except that 10 open house signs are allowed;
(c) Sign area shall neither exceed six square feet per sign face nor 36 inches in height;
(d) Signs are allowed onty between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to sunset and must be removed each
aay;
{e) Signs may not be placed on or at#ached to other objects, inctuding but not timited to buitdings,
structures, trees, plants, utiiity poles, utility boxes, utility ecryipment, or other signs;
(� Signs shall not be located on the traveled portion of a roadway; in parking tanes; on sidewalks;
in bicycle lanes; or placed in a manner that interferes with vehicle, bicycle, wheelchair, or
pedestrian views or travet;
(g) Signs shall not be p(aced in street medians or within an,�! siQht-distance triaagle reserve area of
� street side planter strips: depicted in the following drawine:

III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the cocie amendment as outlined in Section II above and enclosed as Exhibit
A be recommended for approval to the City Council.
IV. REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
FWRC Chapter 19.80, "Process VI - Council Rewnes," establishes a process and criteria for zoning
code text amendments. Consistent with Process VI review, the ro(e of the Planning Commission is as
follows:
To review and evaluate the zoning code text regarding any proposed amendments.
2. To determine whether the proposed zoning code text amendment meets the applicable criteria
provided by FWCC 19.80.240(1).
To forward a recommendation to City Council regarding adoption of the proposed wning code
text amendment.

AowdaKOt to EWKC S9.I40, Si�s � E
V. DECISIONAL CRITEWA �
FWRC 19.80.130 provides criteria for zoning text amendments. The fo(lowing secrion analyzes the
compliance of the proposed zoning text amendment with the criteria provided by sections (1)
through (3) of Ct►apter 19.80.130, FWRC. The City may amend the text of the FWRC on(y if it finds
that:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the compreheusive
ptan.
T'he proposed FWRC text amendment is consistent with the following Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) goal:
EDG-6 The City will encourage and support existing businesses to remain
and/or expand their facilities within Federal T�ay.
The comprehensive plan encourages success of business in Fedecat Way as a aenera.l concept
Enhattced signage can serve to benefit business visibility and viability. The success of business
has a direct impact to the City's tax base, which provides the money to support City services
and amenities.
2. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public 6ealth, safety, or
welfare.
The proposed FWRC text amendment beazs a retationship to the pub[ic heatth, safety, and
welfare because when correctly located, portable signs will not interfere with pedestrian or
vehicle travel while assisting businesses in attracting custoarers. Limiting the number of signs
and hours during which they may be displayed will continue to promote a positive visual image
of the City, and sign portability lends to maintenance ease.
3. The proposed amendmeat is in the best interest of fhe residents of the City.
The proposed FWRC text amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the City because
safely locating portable signs in the street side planter strips helps to attract customers to
business, sales, and other events thus supporting economic development.
VI. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Consistent with the provisions of FWRC 19.80.240, the Planning Commission may take the
fot(owing actions regarding the proposed zoning code text amendment
1. Recommend to City Council adoption of the FWRC text amendment as proposed;
2. Modify the proposed FWRC text amendment and recommend to City Gouncil adoption of
the FWRC text amendment as modified;
3. Recommend to City Council that the proposed FWRC text amendment not be adopted; or

Vice-Chair Etder explained tfie guidetines fc�r the Pub(ic Hearing.
Senior Plannec Deb Barker revie�red the baekground and reasons for the code amendment to allow portab(e
signs in street sEde planter strips v�ithin the right of way. Ms_ Barker a(so reviewed the defuution of a portabte
sign, characteristics of the street side planter strip, and explained the sight distance triangle r�eserve area
language proposed for ttt� code amendment. An email from Mr. Sam Pace, Seattle/King County Association of
Realtors was entered inta �he record. There was one pubtic comment.
Sam Pace, 298391 S4` Ave 5E, Kent — Mr. Pace spoke in support of the proposed code amendments regarding
portable signs. Mr. Pace explained that the code amendment is important for both sellers and buyers, especially
first time buyers. The code amendment is also important to the City. Each real estate sale produces revenue in
the form of taxes paid when a sale is funded Mr. Pace complimented all City sta, ff on their outstanding
customer service on this and past issues and asked for Planning Commission's consideration of the proposed
amendment.
Vice-Chair Elder asked if there were any questionslconcerns from the commissiouers. Hearing none, Vice-
Chair Elder asked for a motion.

text amendment, in regard to Portable Signs as preposed by stat� Commissioner Bronson second. Motion
Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 November 3, 2010
carried, 4-0.
Vice-Chair Elder closed the public hearing.
PUB�[C HEARING - Zoning and Devetopment Code Amendments Retated to the Keeping of Fowl and
Rabbits
Vice-Chair Eider explained the guidelines for the Public Hearing.
Associate Planner Matt Herrera reviewed the background and reasons for the code amendment and summarized
the proposed code amendments_ Staff anatyzed a(1 questions and recommendations from the Planning
Commission's September 29, 2010 Study Session and aiso did further research_ Mr. Herrera presented the staff
recommendation:
• Ban roosters in atl areas of the city with the exception oF Suburban Estate (SE) zoned lots_
• Ailow up to any combination of four chickens/ducks on residential (ots (ess than 35,000 s.f.
• Cap the amount of chickens/ducks a(lowed at 20 (total) for tots 35,000 s.f. and greater in single-family
residential zones (RS) zones.
■ Maintain the cucrent policy of four rabbits for lots less than 35,000 s_f.
There were two public comments:
Alissa Hansen, 356 S 304` Place. Federa! Way - Ms. Hansen asked �these code amendments are passed, whnt
is the anticipated time that they would be allowed to keep chickens. Mr_ Herrera stated that he anticipates the
code amendment to be enacted by the end of the year.
Marion Bartholomew, 30305 19`'' P[ace 56�; Federal Kray - tt�lr. Bartholometiv tivas very happy with stcrffs
recommendations_ He asked the Commission to consider reciucing the period of time for residents to comply
with no roosters from two years to one. t1�lr Bartholomew asked if a chicken coop must be jully enclosed or are
chickens allowed outside of a coop. Mr. Herrera explained that the eacisting regulations allow for free range
chickem. There are als� nuisanc� reg�ilations in place that state that animals may not nm wilci outside of their
own yard_ Mr. Bartholomew hopes that allowing chickens to roam outside of their coops wi[I not create code
compliance issues. As for rabbits, Mr. Bartholvmew supports a ten foot setbcrck for rabbit hutches as well.
Vice-Chair Elcler asked far questions or eomments &om the Commissionecs.
CommissiQnes Bronson suggest� that staf€ may want to recommend four or five appropriate clucken coop
designs. Mr. �errera stated there are currently ao design guidelines for single-family residential uses. In
addition, many residents desire sustainability and may therefore want to build a coop out of recycled materials.
Vice-Chair Elder astced for clariF�eation on the allowed amount of chickens and/or ducks. Mr. Herrera
confinned an allowable tct� of €c2ur, in any combination of chickens or ducks for single-family residential areas
less than 35,000 s.f. To respond to Mr. Bartholomew's comment on rabbits, there is an eacisting code allowing
up to four rabbits in single -family residentiai less than 35,000 s.f. It is assumed that rabbits are household pets,
therefore not requiring outdoor living quarters. For lots an 35,000 s.f_ and greater, there is a 40 foot setback for
rabbit hutches.
Commissionec Medhurst complimented staff for listening to the public on this issue and responding
appropriately. Commissioner Medhurst is not interested in regulating a coop design. �
Commissioner Long concurred with Commissioner Medhurst and thanked Mr. Herrera for a thorough
preseatation. Commissioner Long supports a maximum limit of up to four chickens/ducks, stating that this iimit
is very reasonable and will allow the average famil}r��ore than enough egg production.
Commissioner Bronson wanted to clarifv wE�at was meant in his earlier comment reQardinQ chicken ccx�ns_
Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 IYovember 3, 2010
Commissioner Broason supports not having requirements for coops; rather, having ideas, suggested plans,
materials, etc. for residents who are looking for ideas. Mr. Herrera responded that staff may be producing a
resource document, available to residents in siinple text regarding Urban Chickens and the code as it applies to
them
Commissioner Bronson asked the reason for a ten foot setback for chicken coops. Is there reatiy a difference
between five and ten feet? Mr. Hercera responded that because of concerns raised by residents, staff felt
inclined to meet residents halfway. A ten foot setback is adequate. For example, in a high density sin.gte-family
resideatial area with approx. 5,000 s_E lots, the avecage lot width is 40-b0 feet. Assuming a ten foot setback on
the side and rear of the lot, there is adequate room for an appropriate size coop (48 s.f.). Should this turn out to
not be the case, staff can re-evaluate this ac a later date. The same applies to mobile coops. There should be
adequate space.
Commissioner Long asked if residents will need a permit for chickens or d�cks. Mr. Herrera said that permits
will not be required. This can also be re-evaluated at a later date if any probiems arise.
Commissioner Bronson moved to recommend adoption of the pmposed code amendments to Eederal Way
Revised Code (FWRC) 19.260 "Zoning and Development Gode" as it applies to chickens and ducks as
presented by staff. Commissioner Medhurst second Motiou carried, 4-0.
Vice-Chair Elder closed the pubiic hearing.

Senior Traffic Engineer Hannahs presented information on this item.
Ed Sedlak spoke in favor of installation of speed humps. He has lived on 18�` Avenue
for some 10 years. There are approximately 70 houses in the area with lots of children
and adults walking, biking, and playing in the area. Tacoma residents use the street to
access the freeway. Many speed the straight away just before a blind curve. He and
others have tried at least three times to have speed humps installed.

None
Sandy Ulr spoke in favor of installation of speed humps. She is the petirioner for 20�'
Avenue SW. She will not allow her children play out front because of the speeding
traffic.
Larry A. Gates spoke in favor of installation of speed humps. He has lived in the area
18 years and stated new homes in the area have contributed to the problem.
Karen Ostrand spoke in favor of installation of speed humps. She is a long time
resident and typically sees traffic traveling at a high rate of speed. She would love to
see 20�' Avenue blocked at the Pierce County line (as it once was). She knows it is not
blocked for emergency access, but since the boundary for different emergency districts,
why not block it?
Laura Boyce spoke in favor of installation of speed humps. She is also a petitioner for
20`� Avenue SW. When he was young, she would not allow her son to play in the front
because of the traffic. The neighborhood tried to have speed humps installed six or
seven years ago, but did not meet the city's requirements. The situation has only grown
worse.
Councilmember povey asked why Tacoma residents were included in the voting. Mr. Hannahs
replied that city policy calls for the voting to be done within 600 feet of the proposed trat�ic
calming device locations. Since there are Tacoma residents within the 600 feet and residents
from outside of the city are not precluded from voting by the policy, staff decided to include
them. Councilmember povey expressed concem that Federal Way citizens may be denied an
action because residents outside of the city vote against it. Mr. Perez commented that staff
delineated the results by city for this reason. Chair Kochmar requested that staff provide the
Committee with the policy for discussion of this issue.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.
Moved: Dovey Seconded: Kochmar
Nautilus NTS — S 308 St (1S` Ave S to 4` Pl S)
Senior Traffic Engineer Hannahs presented information on this item. Councilmember povey
commented with placing speed humps on 304` last year and now on 308`�', the city may be
"herding" drivers to create a new cut-through. He encouraged staff to be pro-active on this issue.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
DATE: March 8, 2011
TO: Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Council Committee
VIA: Skip Priest, Mayor
FROM: Brian J. Wilson, Chief of Pol'
SUBJECT: Amend Federal Way Revised ode Regarding Animal Services
The proposed amendment would update Chapters 9.05, 9.18 and 9.25 of the Federal Way
Revised Code. The purpose of these updates are as follows:
Chanter 9.05 FWRC
9.05.010: Add a definition of bite.
Reason: We currently do not have a definition and it would benefit us to clarify that a bite is a
pierced. When the skin is not punctured, we can still pursue enforcement through the aggressive
dog section of the code.
9.05.010: Change defintion of hobby cattery to 6 or more cats.
Reason: This would allow a residence to have up to 5 cats. This encourages people to license
their cats. Right now they may not, because they do not want animal services to know that they
are over the limit. In addition, this encourages people to adopt more cats. We shelter many more
cats than dogs.
Chaqter 9.18 FWRC
9.18.020: Expand definition of animal cruelty to include leaving animals in vehicles during hot
weather and authorize officers to enter vehicles with force, if necessary.
Reason: We respond to several of these calls during hot weather. Right now our only option is to
cite the owner with RCW 16.52.080, which is not as specific and is a misdemeanor. This gives us
more enforcement options, and it will be easier for us to educate the public with a specific section.
9.18.100: Add "poop/scoop" law.
Reason: We currently do not have any law to allow us to enforce cleaning up after a pet. Neighbor
complaints regarding other pets are common.
9.18.100: add parks to list of places where aggressive dogs constitute a nuisance
Reason: Currently, aggressive dogs on sidewalks, streets, alleys or other public ways are considered
public nuisances, but not those in parks — this would fix that over sight.
9.18.110: Clarify when and how the animal services authority may abate nuisances.
Reason: Currently, our code refers to Chapter 1.15 for nuisance abatement, which is geared
towards code enforcement. We are requesting this be changed "abatement procedures
established by director," so our nuisance abatement process can be tailored for animal services.
In addition, we need to change language from "shall" to "may" after three convictions, because,
as the law reads now, if we write an owner three off leash tickets, we then have to abate that dog.
It is essential for the animal services authority to discretion in these types of matters.
Chanter 9.25 FWRC
9.25.030: Clarify how a dangerous dog would be confiscated.
Reason: Need to clarify the term "dispose of' to state humane destruction of the animal.
It is the recommendation of the staff that the City Council approve the proposed ordinance amending
Chapters 9.05, 9.12, and 9.25 of the FWRC regarding updating our animal services code.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 15, 2011
TO: Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Council Committee
VIA: Skip Priest, Mayor
FROM: Brian J. Wilson, Chief of Polic /'
SUBJECT: Amend Federal Way Revised C e Regarding Pawnbrokers and Secondhand
Dealers
The proposed amendment addresses precious metals and secondhand dealers, which is necessary
because the Federal Way Police continue to catch thieves and drug addicts who have stolen
jewlry. No comprehensive statitics on gold or jewelry thefts are available, but burglaries have
increased 18 percent and those burglaries involving jewelry has increased 24 percent overall in
2010 in comparison to same time last year.
The current environment has created a market for stolen items and thus perpetuates the cycle of
crime. This crime trend is not isolated to our community but a nationwide phenomena with high
precious metal prices and hard economic times.
The proposed regulations address secondhand dealers, create a temporary business license for
secondhand dealers, and create an enforcement mechanism whereby failure to document
transactions and/or display registration documents is a gross misdemeanor.
The lack of current regulations on secondhand dealers, coupled with the skyrocketing price of
gold and silver is most likely correlatedto an increase in home burglaries where jewelry is
targeted. Due to the market price of precious metals, there has been an increase of secondhand
dealer precious metal business type of operations from individuals desiring to exploit the market
condition.
These precious metal exchanges have opened in unusual places in our community like gas station
and grocery store with "Cash for Gold" sign holders cropping up at busy intersections urging to
sell gold and silver at these locations. All of which appears to be a growth in criminal trade. It is
the interest of the citizens to amend the Federal Way Revised Code regarding the pawnbrokers
and secondhand dealers to reverse the booming cash-for-gold business for those criminals
converting it into a quick payday at these shops.
The amendment to the exising ordinance will require the secondhand dealers to obtain the
identification of the person conducting the transaction, enter the information into the data base
regulated by the Police Department and retention period of 45 days before selling or disposing of
any article. The intent is to discourage many criminals from anonymously selling stolen jewerly;
increase the opportunity to recover stolen items; and prosecutethe suspects. The proposed
revision is similar to the emphasison scrap metal laws, which were enacted several years ago.
It is my understanding that similar revisions may be proposed in the State Legislature this

BACKGRQUND
The proposed carry forward budget adjustment makes the following types of modifications to the current
biennium budget:
1. Revise Beginning Fund Balance — adjust the beginning fund balance from the estimated amount used
during budget deliberation to the actual as we conclude fisca12010 activities;
2. Continue Existing Projects — appropriate projects that were budgeted in the prior year, but not completed
and will continue during the current year;
3. Grant Funded Projects — appropriate projects funded by grants and contributions;
4. Technical Adjustments — correct the adopted budget and incorporate programs Council previously
approved;
5. New Programs — on an exception basis appropriate projects not previously approved by Council; and
6. Other — reduce budgets as a result of frugal innovation and management changes.
GENERAL&' STREET FUND
2010 Year-End Estimates Compared to Actual Results
(see attached General & Street Fund Results of Operations)
The General and Street Fund 2010 actual ending fund balance of $8,538K is $3,146K over and above the
$5,392K projected for 2010 year-end. However, of this amount, $1,219K'(net of revenues and reductions as a
result of frugal innovation and management) is needed to implement the proposed budget adjustment. This
results in an adjusted excess ending balance of $1,927K. The 2012 revised ending fund balance after the
proposed carry-forward budget adjustments is $4,828K compared to the adopted $2,901K.
While the ending fund balance is higher than projected, it should be noted that the $1,927K increase in ending
fund balance is considered one-time funds. And also, as a reminder, excluding COPS Rehiring grant funded
officers, there are 16.50 positions funded on a one-time basis in 2012 totaling $1,979K. Fourteen (14) of these
one-time funded positions are police officers.
The $3,146K increase in ending fund balance befare the proposed budget adjustments is made up of $214K in
additional revenues/other sources an $2,932K unspent expenditures/other uses.
The $214K increase in revenues is attributable to: $131K sales tax; $108K gambling tax; $85K property tax;
$90K parks & recreation fees; $81K criminal justice sales tax; $64K building permits and fees; $SSK court

offset by decreases in ($20K) public works permits/fees; ($SK} intergovernmental; ($3K) police services;
$(241K) prop 1 utility tax transfer; and ($182K) grants/other one-time.
The $2,932K unspent expenditures is amibutable to: $563K Public Works Streets; $431K Police; $395K
