C. AMEND FEDERAL WAY REVISED CODE TITLE 2 TO CREATE THE COMMUNITY J. BENNETT 25 Ordinance
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT LOAN REVIEW ADVISORY COMMITTEE 5:25 07/03 Council
Discussion /Changes: Jay Bennett, Community Services Manager 253 835 -2650
Jay outlines proposed ordinance, language mirrors the recently passed procedure in the CDBG Commercial Loan and
Commercial Exterior Improvement programs.
Councilmember Honda would like the city to advertise for LRAC members in the Mirror, not just the City website, since it
is a new committee. Jay said City Clerk will publish notice and that he had mentioned it to the Korean community, at
their quarterly meeting.
Councilmember Celski — Targeting loan officers or opening to citizens in general? Jay responds that we would like
qualified people to advise committee but do not want only one lender represented. Ultimately, the Council will appoint
the members.
Discussion ensued about LRAC recommendations and where they go. Patrick Doherty addressed the question; LRAC will
make recommendation on the loan. The recommendation will go to FEDRAC and be considered as a consent item. City
Attorney Richardson explains that committees are not named in code because names can change. Council rules apply to
what type of material goes to what committee. Attorney will add the following clarifying sentence to Agenda Bill: "The
committee's recommendation will follow the process set out in Council Rule of Procedure 2.2(5)."
Motion: Councilmember Celski moves to forward ordinance to first reading on 7/3, second and passed.
D. FUNDING FOR 2012 DESNA CUP AND FESTIVAL P. DOHERTY 32 Consent
10:58 07/03 Council
Discussion /Changes: Patrick Doherty, Community & Economic Development Director 253 835 -2612
Patrick describes Desna Cup and purpose. Organizers want the event to grow and include more participants. They
submitted a proposal for $5,000 in lodging -tax funding and LTAC recommended $5K for advertising purposes. Future
requests to go through the Tourism Enhancement Grant process.
Weather was a challenge; the soccer field was in ok shape but the water from heavy rain drained off the field and
presented the fans with some serious water problems. There was some dissention among the community groups and
other events interfered with the attendance. Hopefully these issues will be overcome next year.
Committee discussion.
Question about effect on the budget; Patrick responds that there was $25K unallocated in the $190K budget.
Mention of the budget moved the conversation to the other events, mainly the Aquatic Center and the diving trials. The
attendance — 2297 — was an all -time record. Several related their experiences at the event, comments were positive.
CITY OF
FEDRAC June 26, 2012 Federal Way Page 4 of 8
Responding to a question of hotel occupancy, Patrick said hotels did well and were very happy with the events.
Questioned on parking, Chief Wilson weighted in with comments on the parking, shuttles and traffic flow. Parking and
traffic went very smoothly. He also mentioned the low criminal activity, saying that there were no thefts or auto break
ins at hotels or venue. Presence of the Homeland Security vehicle sent a message that the security was serious.
Patrick said we are looking at NCAA events every other year and the positive testimonials of the participants in the
recent events will certainly help in acquiring future events. Because of competition around the country, the diving trials
will probably not be available again for twelve years.
A conversation about the advertising ensued; the banners were a big plus and are also possible for the sand sculpture
event. It was noted that the banners are not necessarily single use, can change the dates. The buttons were in demand
and garnered good comments; they were also covered in the budget.
Motion: Councilmember Celski moves Option 1, second and passed

prohibited, people often bring them and it would be a good opportunity to have the animal services
represented.
