SUBJECT: Water Quality Monitoring Equipment — Request to Replace Sensor
BACKGROUND
In 2001, Surface Water Management (SWM) began a comprehensive water quality ambient monitoring
program throughout the City. This program included the initial deployment of automated data loggers at
five separate stormwater and in-stream sites that record continuous water quality measurements including
temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH.
In 2003, SWM was awarded a State of Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) Centennial Clean
Water Fund Grant which allowed for the addition of four West Hylebos Creek sites to the ambient
monitoring program. The four-site enhancement included an upgrade to more sensitive and reliable
instrumentation (YSI 6920 series data loggers) which supports optical dissolved oxygen and turbidity
measurements. Collectively, these instruments are a key part of the City's ongoing water quality
monitoring program, which provides valuable insight into the condition of our surface waters.
The YSI 6920 series data loggers and associated sensors are rapidly approaching their useful life and as a
result, we have been experiencing an increase in equipment glitches and failure of one unit. Therefore,
SWM is requesting to utilize replacement reserve funds to purchase one YSI 6920 multi-parameter water
quality data logger to replace the failed unit. The cost of a replacement data logger is $8,230.50.

VIA: Skip Priest, Mayor �
FROM• Rick Perez, P.E., City Traffic Engineer i�/0 �
' Cary M. Roe, P.E., Director of Parks, Public Works, and Emergency Management
SUBJECT: Truck Route Code Amendment
BACKGROUND:
Law Department, in responding to a request for interpretation, has determined a need to clarify the intent
of FWRC 8.40.040. Current code allows up to 10 truck trips per day for local deliveries, allowing any
street in the City to be used. However, "deliveries" is defined such that it could be interpreted to include
truck trips where neither origin nor destination is within the City. This language was created when the
code language was last amended in 2000. This interpretation has made it difficult to enforce the truck
route restrictions that were intended to prohibit truck trips through Federal Way without impinging on
deliveries within the City.
Therefore, staff proposes to clarify the intent by striking the portion of the definition of "deliveries" in
FWRC 8.40.040(1) such that at least one end of a tnxck trip would have to be within city limits in order to
use streets that are not designated truck routes.
