BUSINESS ITEMS
Community Center Project Update
Ms. Sanders provided the committee an update on the Community Center. The exterior site is 95% completed, the
final plantings and irrigation piping need to be finished. The windows are installed, with the exception of the glass
artwork above the front door. The gymnasium is the furthest along in the building. It has been painted, and the
backboards have been installed. The one remaining item is the installation of the gym floor. Ms. Hanson updated the
committee on the Community Center budget. She reported that we are on schedule for completion on January 12,
2007. We are through change order number 12, with additional change orders to be negotiated. These change
orders will be charged against the contingency balance. She stated that we are getting close on the contingency
balance. There is still furniture and equipment to purchase. Ms. Hanson stated that she is being very cautious about
stating that we are on time and on budget.
Department of Homeland Security Buffer Zone Grant Addition
Interim Police Chief Wilson reported that in the fiscal year of 2005, the Homeland Security Department appropriated
$50,000 to the City of Federal Way, as a Buffer Zone Protection Grant. The purpose of this money is to protect
critical infrastructures, and key resources that are located within the City of Federal Way. Wildwaves/Enchanted
Village has been identified as a critical infrastructure site because of the number of people that visit that site. They
received money in 2005 and used it to enhance their bomb unit, and the response capabilities of that unit. In 2006
there is approximately $48,000 available on the Buffer Zone Grant. The Department is proposing to provide
additional bomb equipment and supplies. Deputy Mayor Ferrell moved to accept the Buffer Zone Grant
addition and authorize staff to purchase emergency equipment in accordance with the purchasing plan.
Council member Kochmar seconded. Motion passed.
