BUSINESS ITEMS
Retainage Release for All Around Fence
Mr. Ikerd reported that there is a formal process to go through to release the retainage held from contracts. The city
must show the state that the project has been completed, and accepted by the full Council. The City had a contract
with All Around Fence to install backstops and fencing at Lakota Park. The amount of the contract was $40,405.50.
The work has been completed, and the amount of retainage to be released is $1,845.00. Council member Kochmar
moved to forward the acceptance of the All Around Fence contract as complete and authorize staff to release
their $1,845.00 Retainage to the full Council February 21, 2012 consent agenda for approval. Council
member Freeman seconded. Motion passed. Council member Freeman stated that the site looks good. Mr. Ikerd
stated that bleachers and benches for the dugouts will also be added.
CrimeReports.com — Information Only
Chief Wilson stated that one of the most frequently asked questions and phone calls the Department gets is from
citizens wanting crime information on their neighborhood, the city, and the location of where the crimes are taking
place. The Federal Way Police Department would like to use a program called CrimesReport.com. With this
program, citizens will have the ability to go online and get the information that they are looking for. This program
has been successful for many agencies. CrimeReports.com will provide email notifications to subscribers, search
capabilities and basic crime analysis. Citizens will also have the ability to provide anonymous tips, and to look up
registered sex offenders in their area. The annual subscription is $2,388.00. By doing a 3 year subscription, the cost
would be reduced by 20 %. Active investigations and personal information will not be put on the program.
PENDING ITEMS
Chair Honda asked the committee if there was anything they would like to add to pending items. Council member
Kochmar would like Festival Days to be added as a pending item. Chair Honda asked who would be in charge of
the event. Council member Kochmar stated that it would be the Parks Department, and volunteers, and the funding
would come from the Lodging Tax. Council member Kochmar suggested asking other cities what they do. Council
member Burbidge stated that Buds n' Blooms Festival is coming up, and they formed their own independent group.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
DATE: March 13, 2012
TO: Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Council Committee
VIA: Skip Priest, Mayor
FROM: Brian J. Wilson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Acceptance of WTSC Grant Money for Two (2) Traffic "ProLaser" Lidar Systems
Proposal
The Federal Way Police Department is a full service law enforcement agency. A core function of
our agency is the Traffic Unit, specifically geared towards Prevention, Education and
Enforcement. Our aim is to provide the safest possible roadways for all of our motorists and
pedestrians. Most importantly, we are committed to providing safe school zones through strict
school zone speed enforcement.
Traffic officers use speed measuring devices, (Radars and Lidars), to conduct speed enforcement.
Over the years, usage and weather have taken a toll on our current Radar and Lidar equipment.
Further, not every traffic officer is equipped with a Lidar system.
This proposal requests the acceptance of grant funds to purchase two new Lidar systems. These
new Lidars will enable our traffic officers to be more effective in our school zone speed
enforcement efforts.
Funding Source
The Washington Traffic Safety Commission, (WTSC), provides grant funding to law
enforcement agencies for school zone speed enforcement. These proposed Lidar systems will be
funded entirely from a WTSC grant.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
DATE: March 13, 2012
TO: Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Council Committee
VIA: Skip Priest, Mayor
FROM: Brian J. Wilson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Request to replace Command Vehicle #5701 with a late model used SUV
The City of Federal Way Police Department has eleven (11) vehicles allotted to the Special
Investigations Unit (SIU). SIU is currently functioning with ten (10) vehicles in the fleet. These
vehicles are either seized as a result of criminal investigations or purchased using seizure funds.
The maintenance and ongoing expenses for these vehicles are paid for out of the seizure fund.
ud lZt
I am recommending the purchase of a full sizdSUV for SIU to replace vehicle #5701. The
purpose of this purchase is to provide the Police Department with a full size SUV that can carry
multiple uniformed officers at the same time for emergency deployment. Currently the PD has
no vehicles available that meet this operational need.
The SUV would be assigned to the Commander Arbuthnot. Commander Arbuthnot is the CIS
Commander and the Valley SWAT Commander. The SUV would be used on SWAT operations
to carry team members, deliver equipment, and conduct surveillance.
Vehicle #5701 is a 2006 Ford Fusion that was purchased in 2007 with seizure funds. The vehicle
has approximately 83,000 miles. The Fusion is currently assigned to Gang Detective Jason Ellis
and is used by the Special Operations Unit for emphasis projects. The Fusion is a smaller sedan
that is difficult to conduct surveillance operations out of. I am recommending trading the fusion
in on the new SUV.
In addition to the Fusion, vehicle #5721 is a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix that is assigned to Lt.
Grossnickle and is experiencing some significant mechanical issues — the Grand Prix has 103,000
miles on it. I am recommending auctioning the Grand Prix to recoup some of the cost for the
SUV. Due to Lt. Grossnickle's position on the PATROL Auto Theft Task Force, he has been
assigned a loaner vehicle by the National Insurance Crime Bureau that will be maintained by
seizure funds. This vehicle is considered a "loaner" and is not owned by the City of Federal
Way. I recommend not replacing vehicle #5721, the Grand Prix, which will reduce the SIU fleet
from ten (10) to nine (9) operational vehicles.
The final result of this proposal will reduce the total number of SIU vehicles from ten (10) to
nine (9) and it will allow the Police Department to enhance its operations.
