First Amendment to the MacDonald-Miller Performance Agreement
Background:
The City entered into an Energy PerFormance Agreement with MacDonald-Miller Facilities
Solutions November 2010 to upgrade City Hall; front end Direct Digital Controls (DDC), replace
3 rooftop HVAC units and install one new unit. This project was funded through an ARRA Grant,
PSE rebate program and guaranteed future energy savings. The equipment and controls have
been successfully installed.
Now that the new front end DDC controls are installed and the system is operating, additional
testing has revealed that there are 24 repairs needed to interior equipment. City Hall has 78
heating and cooling zones that are controlled by individual Variable Air Volume boxes (VAV).
Each one of these VAV boxes has a proprietary Staefa controller and velocity probe that is
obsolete should they fail. Nine (9) of the 24 VAV boxes in need of repairs have Staefa
controllers that have failed. There is a universal LON controller upgrade available that will allow
these VAV boxes to still function with our new front end controls. Rather than upgrading all
Staefa controllers, staff recommends upgrading 15 controllers now and then use the 15
removed Staefa controllers as spare parts for any future failures. This strategy reduces the cost
to replace all controllers now and extends our serviceability for a much longer period of time.
These needed repairs affect the overall performance and comfort levels in various locations of
the building, so we are requesting authorization to use building replacement reserves to make
these repairs.
Recommendation:
Amend the MacDonald-Miller Performance Agreement to include the 24 repairs and replace 15
Staefa controllers in the amount of $39,346.01. Funding for this project would be from the City
Hall building replacement reserves.

STAFF REPORT BY: Bryant Enge, Administrative Services Director DEPT Mayor's Office
Background:
Congress reduced the 2011 CDBG funding by 16.4%. Consequently, the City's 2011 allocation was
reduced by approximately $129,000, including nearly $12,800 dedicated to CDBG Public Service
Programs. The preliminary 2011 CDBG Plan ("Plan") included a Contingency Plan that provided that an
increase or a decrease in CDBG would be applied first to the Federal Way Emergency Services Project.
This reduction would nearly eliminate all of the Cty's CDBG funds for the HealthPoint Dental Program.
Therefore, staff recommends amending this Plan and allocating this reduction proportionately among the
three public service projects.
Also, the preliminary 2011 CDBG Plan included an approved Capital Plan that allocated $240,179 for
Emergency Feeding Program Facility (C11189), $75,000 for SKCAC Community Facility Improvements,
and $60,763 for the HCC Microenterprise Development (C11283). The Emergency Feeding Program and
SKCAC Community Facility Improvements cannot be achieved. Staff recommends amending the 2011
Plan to reallocate these unexpended funds to the Federal Way Contingency Fund except for
approximately $9,800 to make up the cut in the Highline Community College Microenterprise
Development program due to the reduction in the CDBG funding. Funds in the Federal Way Contingency
Fund will be available to fund the 2012 CDBG Capital Plan.
Attachments: Exhibit A— Memorandum to King County advising that the City of Federal Way chooses to
amend its 2011 Preliminary CDBG Plan.
Options Considered:
1. Staff recommends approve amending the Preliminary CDBG Plan to allocate the $12,754

unexpended CDBG funds to the City of Federal Way's Contingency Fund except for a portion to

Re: Amending City of Federal Way's Preliminary CDBG Plans
Dear Ms. Tremper:
There are several actions requested in this memorandum:
Amend the City of Federal Way's Contingency Plan to reflect a reduction in the city's CDBG
allocation. In 2011, Congress reduced the CDBG budget by 16.4%. The Contingency Plan
provided that an increase or a decrease in the amount of CDBG funding for Public Service would
be applied first to the Federal Way Emergency Services Project. This reduction would nearly
eliminate all of the City's CDBG funds for the HeatthPoint Dentat Program. Therefore, the City of
Federal Way chooses to move to amend the 2011 Contingency Plan to allocate the $12,754
CDBG Public Service Fund reduction proportionally among the three public service projects,
HSS1, HSS2 and HSS3. The following schedule represents the revised funding for the three
public services projects:
Totals after $12,754 reduction distributed proportionately:
HSS1: $16,629 (HealthPoint Dental $10,488; MSC Emergency Feeding Program $6,141)
HSS2: $32,881 (FWSC Adult Daycare $15,432; Orion Industries Rehabilitation Svc $17,449)
HSS3: 15 675 (Institute for Family Development PACT $15,675)
Total: $65,185
- The preliminary 2011 CDBG Capital Plan approved $240,179 for Emergency Feeding Program
Facility (C11189) and $75,000 for SKCAC Community Facility Improvements. Both of these
projects cannot be achieved. The City chooses to amend the 2011 Preliminary Capital Plan to
reallocate to the Federal Way Contingency Fund the approved funding for these projects for
purposes of the City's 2012 Annual Allocation Plan except for a portion to maintain full funding
for the Highlline Community College Microenterprise Development program (see below).
- The Preliminary 2011 CDBG Capital Plan approved $60,763 for the HCC Microenterprise
Development (C11283). The reduction in this project is $9,843.61. The City requests that
$9,843.61 is reallocated from the Emergency Feeding Program Facility to make up the cut in the
HCC Microenterprise Development. The balance for the Emergency Feeding Program Facility
would be reallocated to the City's Contingency Fund.
- In addition, the City requests that unexpended funds be reallocated to the City's Contingency
Fund for purposes to be allocated as part of the 2012 Annual Action Plan.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Bryant Enge

The Federal Way Revise Code regarding Public Defense Standards does not arbitrarily establish a
caseload limit. The current Code provides for public defenders not to accept more cases than can be
reasonably managed. Caseloads anticipated in a contract should allow each client the time and effort
necessary to ensure effective representation. The Code currently provides that caseload limits be based on
the number and types of cases anticipated. This amendment provides guidance concerning the number
and types of cases determining caseload limits. For determining caseload limits public defenders will
consider the number and types of cases being accepted for charging by the City Prosecutor's Office.

Attachments: Proposed ordinance amending FWRC 635.030; clean copy of proposed FWRC 635.030.
Background: Federal Way Revised Code ("FWRC") 635.030, "Aggressive Begging," sets forth the prohibition of
aggressive begging in the City of Federal Way. In June, a King County Superiar Court Judge found that portions of
FWRC 6.35.030 are unconstitutionally vague as applied. The proposed amendments to FWRC 635.030 makes it
clear that the prohibited behaviors are the unwanted acts of intimidation and interference with pedestrian and
vehicular traffic, rather than the actual act of begging, which is constitutionally protected speech. This new version
has been modeled after the City of Seattle's Pedestrian Interference ordinance, which has been upheld as
constitutional. Staff recommends adoption of the proposed amendments.
Options Considered: 1. Approve the proposed ordinance amending FWRC 635.030, Aggressive Begging.

CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
DATE: JLJNE 2Q 2011
TO: CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
CC: MAYOR PRIEST
FROM: PATRICIA RICHARDSON, CITY ATTORNEY - P'C��'�
SUBJECT: CITIZEN INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM POWERS AND PROPOSED ORDINANCE
In 1992, pursuant to RCW 35A.11.100, the City Council enacted Ordinance No. 92-150
giving the citizens the initiative and referendum powers ("Powers") as set forth in Federal Way
Revised Code Chapter 1.30. An initiative is generally defined as the citizens enacting a law via
an election. A referendum is generally defined as the citizens' intervention of a recently enacted
ordinance via an election.
Initiative and Referendum Statutory Requirements
While State law autharizes the City to enact initiative and referendum powers, it also sets
forth specific requirements to bring the matter to the citizens for a vote. The statutory
requirements pertain to:
1. The form/content of the petition.
2. Limitations on the signatures:
a. Must strike multiple signatures so an individual is counted only once, and
b. Must strike all signatures older than six months.
3. Submission of the signatures by the City Clerk to the County within three days of receipt
provided that the number of signatuYes appears to be enough (i.e. if one-thousand
signatures are necessary and the number of signatures totals nine hundred ninety-nine
the City Clerk will not submit the peririon to the County but will follow the process
outlined in the Federal Way Revised Code below).
4. The formula to deternune if there are enough signatures for a Ciry uZiriarive or
referendum "shall be fifteen percent of the total number of names of persons listed as
registered voters within the city on the day of the last preceding city general election."
5. The County representarive, "with reasonable promptness", deterinines:
a. The requisite number of signatures based upon the statutory formula
b. Whether the petition is sufficient based upon:
1) Valid signatures (not longer than siY months and only one), and
2) The percentage number of signatures.
6. When the County completes its analysis of the signatures on the peririon, a certificate of
the determination is completed and transmitted to the City Clerk.
7. If the County deterinines the "peririon is sufficient" (there are enough valid signatures),
the election must occur within a specific window of time:
a. Not more than 45 days after petirion is cerrified by County as sufficient (a special
election�, unless
b. A general election will occur within 90 days. Municipal or city elecrions are the
prunary and general elections in the odd-numbered years; state primary and
general elections are in the even numbered years.
8. Special election dates for City issues are limited to:
a. The second Tuesday in February
b. The foutth Tuesday in April
c. Primary election in even numbered years
d. General election on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in even numbered
years.
Referendum Statutor� Rec�uirements
Referendum powers have additional statutory lirriitations, because the effect suspends the law
pencling the determination of the sufficient signatures oY the outcome of the election. And, the
referendum process is not available for all subjects. For example, referendum is not available for
laws created via an iniriarive perition, for local improvement districts, or for the levy of taxes. The
courts have also deterinined that those actions chaYacterized as administrative aYe not the proper
subject for a referendum, but are appropriate for certain legislative actions not mandated by State
law.
2
Because the City has authorized the uutiative and referendum powers, most ordinances do not
become effecrive for thirty days. The effect of a referendum suspends the new law. Thus, the
deadline to gather signatures for the referendum is sooner: ninety days even though the criteria for
valid signatuYes are the same: the signature is not older than s� months.
Federal Wa� Revised Code
1. Initiative Petitions.
Citizens have the authority to submit a proposed measure to the City Clexk at any time. Once
the perition is submitted the City's response first detertnines whether the topic is appropriate for an
iniriative and following actions are specifically addressed.
The time frame for gathering signatures is ninety days. A review of the iniriarive and referendum
process revealed that State law was enacted in 1996 setting forth the above process whereby the
county, and not the City Clerk, determines whether the signatures are sufficient and cerrifies the
results.
The process to determine if the signatures on the perition for either an iniriative or referendum
would begin with King County inforrning the City C1eYk of the ininiinum number of signatures
required for an initiarive based upon the statutory peYCentage of fifteen percent of the total
registered voteYS in the prior municipal election. The City C1eYk does not review the signatures, but
counts the lines of signatures to ensure that the minimum number has been gathered before
submitting the iniriarive to the County. The County determines whetheY the signatures aYe valid (i.e.
no longer than s�-months old), and whether the number of valid signatures is sufficient. If the
petition is sufficient, the County certifies the results to the City Clerk. The City Clerk notifies the
City Council of the Yesults.
2. Referendum Petitions.
The FedeYal Way Revised Code specifies that a proposed referendum petirion must be submitted
to the City Clerk within 30 days, or before the law becomes effecrive. Upon Yeceiving notice, the
new law is suspended, and the Council must reconsider the new law with the filing of the
referendum peririon.
If the City Council does not modify the new law, the City Clerk will pYOCess the signed petirion
in the same manner as the initiative petitions (i.e. the County determines whether the petirion is
sufficient).
Recommendation
I recommend modifying Chapter 1.30 to incorporate State law for the processing and
determination of the sufficiency of petition. The format throughout the Code adopts state statute
rather than restating it in different sections. This format provides consistency, and automatically
updates the Code when state statutes are modified. The Yecommended modifications are attached in
t�1e pYOposed oTCllnance. K:\memo\2011\6-28 FEDR�IC iniUative-xeferendum
