BUSINESS ITEMS

Kochmar moved to forward the proposed JAG Grant to the October 16,2012 City Council Agenda for
approval. Chair Honda seconded.Motion passed.
Interlocal Agreement for Services Rendered to Outside Agencies
Chief Wilson stated that this was initiated by the Federal Way Police Department. There are six agencies that are a
part of the Valley SWAT Team. A member of each of these agencies makes up the Board that oversees the Valley
SWAT Team. Committee member Freeman arrived at 5:55. One of the concerns is that we are asked to provide
services outside of the six-member agencies. The concern is who is responsible for liability and costs associated
with legitimate things that the team may be involved in. If they go outside of the six agencies,the Mayor of that City
must sign the agreement prior to the Valley SWAT Team providing those services. There is a strong chance of high
liability in responding to critical incidents. This document has been reviewed and approved by the contract signees
and the City Attorneys from the six agencies. Committee member Kochmar moved to forward the Interlocal
Agreement for Services Rendered to Outside Agencies form to the October 16,2012 City Council consent
agenda for approval. Committee member Freeman seconded.Motion passed.
Washington Traffic Safety Commission(WTSC)Grant—Target Zero Teams MOU
Chief Wilson stated that this is a grant that is allocated periodically for Target Zero DUI patrols. This grant will go
towards paying for overtime so additional officers can be placed in service. The period of the Grant is October 1,
2012 through June 30,2013. The total amount of the grant is$16,320.00. In the past two years the overtime patrols
made over 45 DUI arrests within the Federal Way area. Committee member Freeman moved to forward the
proposed Agreement to the October 16,2012 City Council agenda for approval. Committee member
Kochmar seconded. Motion passed.
Pending Items
Chair Honda reported that she will be meeting with the Special Events Coordinator for the City of Auburn to discuss
parades. She has met with Patty from the Chamber of Commerce to ask if the Chamber would be interested in
helping with Festival Days and a parade. Patty's response was not favorable,and that she feels that the focus should
be on something different than Festival Days or parades. Chair Honda said that she would meet with her again,and
explain why it is important for the Community. Council member Burbidge suggested that they meet with Patty
together. Council member Burbidge has also met with the Federal Way Lions. She thought it would be a good idea
to possibly join the Federal Way Lions Car Show and have a parade that would include the cars.
