Attachments: None.
Background:
Every year City employees hold an auction and pledge drive to raise money for human services. The funds raised
are divided equally between United Way of King and Pierce Counties and the City of Federal Way Human
Services Fund.
By the end of December 2013, the City of Federal Way employees raised $6,392 for the Human Services Fund to
be allocated in 2013. The Human Services Commission considered allocating these funds at their December and
January meetings.
Staff recommended looking outside of currently funded agencies to award these funds by supporting the Federal
Way Coalition Against Trafficking (FWCAT). This small group of dedicated Federal Way volunteers is doing
outstanding work communicating with youth /adults through their "Deceptions" trainings, how to protect youth
from being victims of human trafficking.
FWCAT is sponsored by Washington Engage. Founded in January 2011, Washington Engage is a
recognized non - profit developing strategies to end human trafficking in Washington State in
partnership with government and grassroots advocates.
After extensive discussion, the Human Services Commission is recommending allocating the entire $6,392 of
2014 Human Services Funding to FWCAT. The HSC is recommending that no more than 20% of these funds be
used to assist FWCAT in finalization of its business plan for the purposes of organizational growth and
sustainability matters.
Options Considered:
1. Approve the Human Services Commission's recommendation to allocate $6,392 to the Federal Way
Coalition Against Trafficking with the stipulation that no more than 20 percent of the total be used to
finalize their business plan to assist in the organization's sustainability.
2. Do not approve the Human Services Commission's recommended funding and give staff alternate
direction.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 11, 2014
TO: Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Council Committee
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy Hwang, Interim Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Acceptance of "Nick & Derek Project" DUI / Distracted Driving Project.
Background
One of the 2014 goals for the Police Department is to strengthen traffic enforcement along with
education and prevention in two specific areas to make our streets safer to protect our citizens.
First, DUI enforcement can be strengthened by allocating necessary funding for overtime DUI
patrols. We have completed a DUI enforcement pilot project, dubbed the "Nick and Derek
project" in honor of two Decatur High School students (Nicholas Hodgins & Derek King) killed
in a DUI collision in June, 2010.
The pilot project (April — November, 2013) was modeled after the Washington Traffic Safety
Commission's (WTSC) highly successful Target Zero campaign. FWPD deployed highly trained
DUI traffic officers on weekends, holidays and special event evenings, typically from 2000 -0300
hours. Our funding of $10,000 resulted in 20 overtime patrols, netting 18 DUI arrests. Of these
18 arrests, eight offenders provided breath samples which indicated impairment 2x the legal limit
of .08.
The second traffic area in need of attention is that of Distracted Driving. The WTSC has
recognized the value of dedicating resources to distracted driving enforcement and has provided
limited grant funding for such enforcement. These enforcement measures require officers to
issue a minimum of three citations per hour for texting and cell phone violations. The FWPD
Traffic Unit took part in this grant program in 2013 and it was successful; the officers easily
found violators. This distracted driving is a growing problem nationwide, as well as, regionally
and locally in Federal Way.
Proposal
A request that the City of Federal Way allocate annual funding in the amount of $50,000 to
sustain police overtime patrols, focusing on DUIs and Distracted Drivers. These patrols will
serve to prevent DUI and Distracted Driving related violations and collisions, reducing injuries
and fatalities to our citizens.
Funding Source
Red Light Photo Enforcement (RLPE) Revenue Fund

(MUTCD) in Chapter 2J, and adopted in Washington State in RCW 47.36.310 through .390. These
standards were developed to limit the use of large billboards along Interstate Highways while providing
guidance to motorists in locating basic services.
FWRC 19.140.130 prohibits all off -site signs except those expressly allowed in the Sign Code. FWRC
19.140.080 excludes "street and traffic signs" from the Sign Code. Historically, staff had interpreted this
to mean that Motorist Information Signs were prohibited as off -site signs because of the use of logo
panels that advertise specific businesses, and therefore not subject to the exclusion granted to "street and
traffic signs ".
State law provides limits to the number and location of MIS signs, including a restriction that businesses
had to either be located on or visible from the arterial intersecting the freeway or local zoning codes had
to allow the use of subsequent MIS signs to guide motorists from the arterial intersecting the freeway to
the business. As such, given the staff interpretation of City Code, businesses using MIS signs had to be
located on S 3200' Street or S 348`" Street to be eligible for MIS signs on I -5. However, WSDOT recently
discovered they had been allowing two businesses to have MIS signs on I -5, but were not located on or
Motorist Information Signs

visible from S 320th Street. They are the Clarion Hotel on 201h Avenue S and the Comfort Inn on Pacific
Highway. In order to conform to state law, these two businesses would each need one additional sign
directing tourists from S 320th Street to the hotels. WSDOT staff has agreed to defer action to allow the
City to determine whether we would be willing to permit such signs. Without such action, WSDOT
would remove the existing signs on I -5 and off -ramps to these two hotels.
It should be noted that other businesses have historically expressed interest in having such signs but were
told that, due to the City's sign code, WSDOT would not permit them. As such, a revised interpretation
of the Sign Code allowing such signs may increase the total number of signs to be installed, up to the
limits established in RCW, as outlined in the following tables. RCW allows the City to charge fees for
the installation and maintenance of MIS signs on City streets (averaging about $600 each, based on the
experience of the City of SeaTac). Since there are limits to number and type of each sign, businesses are
granted these signs on a "first come, first serve" basis. Thus the impacts to the City are the visual impacts
of the additional signing and the economic development potential of a few more businesses being allowed
to advertise their locations from I -5 and on City streets.
The MUTCD limits the number of signs at an interchange to four, and RCW limits the number of
businesses on any given sign to six. In addition, no more than two signs may be used for the same type of
business. Thus the maximum number of businesses that could be advertised from any given interchange
is 24, and each business must be located within three miles of I -5. As such, although the potential
number of businesses eligible could be significant, the impact would be limited to only those businesses
choosing to use such signs that are not located on S 320th Street or S 348th Street.
Table 1— Signs from S 348th Street
There are eleven businesses that could potentially add signing at S 348th Street, but no more than three of
them could be for restaurants, up to nine of them each could be for gas stations or lodging, and up to five
of them could be tourist activities.

Attachments: Exhibit A White Paper, Mobile/Manufactured Home Park Zoning Designation
Background: At the beginning of 2013, the City was approached by residents of the Belmor Mobile Home Park who
requested that the City adopt regulations creating a Mobile/Manufactured Home Park (MHP) Zoning Designation. On
April 16, 2013, the City Council adopted the 2013 Planning Commission Work Program, which included the potential
creation of such a designation. Thereafter, on September 3, 2013, the Belmor Homeowners' Association asked that any
future rezoning issues regarding mobile and manufactured home parks exclude Belmor. At that time, the Council
requested staff to research the issue further to determine how changes in zoning would affect existing parks. The Council
also removed this item from the Planning Commission Work Program. In preparing this report, staff has reviewed the
zoning regulations of Kent, Tumwater and Marysville which have all adopted provisions related to the preservation of
mobile /manufactured home parks.
Options Considered: Amend the 2014 Planning Commission Work Program to include: 1) A new Mobile/Manufactured
Home Park (MHP) Zoning Designation that allows mobile /manufactured home parks, mobile homes and manufactured
homes, accessory uses and other limited uses; 2) A new code section that requires owners /operators of
mobile /manufactured home parks to prepare and implement relocation plans that provide assistance to tenants if the park
were to be closed; 3) No new regulations related to mobile homes and manufactured homes.

MOBILE /MANUFACTURED HOME PARK ZONING DESIGNATION
A. POLICY QUESTION
Should the City Council place the consideration of a Mobile /Manufactured Home Park (MHP)
Zoning Designation on the 2014 Planning Commission Work Program?
B. BACKGROUND
There is interest on the part of some residents of local mobile /manufactured home parks for the City
of Federal Way to create a MHP Zoning Designation that would limit the permitted use within that
zone to only mobile /manufactured home parks. The City was first approached by residents of the
Belmor Mobile Home Park, who were soon joined by residents of other parks in pursuing this
request. There are eight mobile /manufactured home parks in the City with approximately 1,168
spaces. On April 16, 2013, the City Council adopted the 2013 Planning Commission Work Program,
which included the potential creation of a MHP Zoning Designation. Thereafter, on September 3,
2013, the Belmor Homeowners Association asked that any future rezoning issues regarding mobile
home parks exclude Belmor. The reason for this request was that residents of Belmor were able to
reach an agreement with the Hines ownership group, who own the park. At that time, the Council
stated that they would like staff to research the issue further to determine how changes in zoning
would affect existing parks. The Council also removed this item from the Planning Commission
Work Program. In preparing this report, staff has researched the zoning regulations of Kent,
Marysville, and Tumwater, which have all adopted provisions related to the preservation of
mobile /manufactured home parks.
C. SUMMARY OF OTHER CITIES' MOBILE/MANUFACTURED HOME PARK ZONING
REGULATIONS
CITY OF KENT
The City of Kent allows mobile /manufactured home parks in any multi - family residential district.
However, the City has adopted regulations intended to protect the interests of the residents of
mobile /manufactured home parks. These regulations require a mobile /manufactured home park owner
to obtain approval of a relocation plan from the City of Kent Housing and Human Services Office
before they can close a park, or obtain final approval of a comprehensive plan or zoning
redesignation. The relocation plan must provide that the mobile /manufactured home park owner will
assist each household to relocate, in addition to making any state or federal required relocation
payments. Such assistance must include providing tenants an inventory of relocation resources,
referring tenants to alternative public and private subsidized housing resources, helping tenants obtain
and complete the necessary application forms for state - required relocation assistance, and helping
tenants to move the mobile homes or manufactured homes from the park. This approach does not
create a MHP Zoning Designation per se, but ensures that tenants are assisted in relocating their
homes.
CITY OF TUMWATER
In 2009, the City of Tumwater adopted a MHP Zoning Designation that permits manufactured home
parks, mobile home parks that were legally established prior to July 1, 2008, manufactured homes on
single family lots, single - family dwelling units, and certain recreational and child day care uses.
Manufactured/Mobile Home Park Zoning District Page 1 of 4
Churches, schools, community centers, agriculture, and bed and breakfast establishments are
permitted based on obtaining a conditional use permit. Use exceptions can be granted if the property
owner demonstrates, "... they do not have a reasonable use of their property under the MHP zoning,"
or "... the uses authorized by the MHP zoning are not economically viable."
CITY OF MARYSVILLE
In 2010, the City of Marysville adopted a Mobile/Manufactured Home Park (MHP) Zoning
Designation that was modelled after the Tumwater ordinance. Allowable used within this zoning
designation include mobile /manufactured home parks, single- family dwelling units, and mobile
homes which are permitted outright and conditional uses such as senior citizen assisted facilities,
recreational vehicle parks, community centers, libraries, museums, art galleries, churches,
synagogues, temples, funeral homes, schools, and regional detention ponds.
D. POLICY ISSUES
• Mobile homes and manufactured homes are considered affordable housing. Adopting a MHP
Zoning Designation could help to preserve existing affordable housing.
• Regionally many existing parks have been converted to other uses and it can be difficult to find
another mobile home space if an existing park closes.
• Once a manufactured or mobile home has been placed on a lot, it no longer is mobile and it is
very costly to move the home to another park.
• In many cases, the homes that are displaced are older, single -wide models that can be difficult to
relocate because of restrictions placed by park owners?
• The State Mobile Home Relocation Assistance Program requires a landlord to give each
homeowner at least 12 months written notice if he or she intends to permanently close a mobile
home or manufactured home park. The state will also reimburse a low- income household3 for all
actual moving costs up to a maximum of $12,000 for a double -wide mobile home and $7,500 for
a single -wide on a first -come, first - served basis4. However, residents of parks have stated that on
average, it may be closer to $25,000 to move a manufactured or mobile homes.
Mobile /manufactured Home Parks are an allowable use only in the City's Multi - Family (RM)
Zone. All eight mobile /manufactured home parks in the City are located in RM Zones. This
zoning designation allows the following uses:
1This list does not contain all permitted uses in the Marysville's MHP Zoning Designation.
2 In 1991, the Washington State Legislature passed a new law establishing the Mobile Home Relocation Assistance Program to
provide financial assistance to low- income mobile home park tenants who are forced to relocate due to a park closure. In addition
to the financial assistance measure, this law also exempts mobile homes that are relocated due to a park closure from complying
with the requirements of city or county fire, safety, or construction codes (see RCW 59.21.105).
3 A low- income household means households whose adjusted income is less than 80 percent of the median family income.

• Day care facilities
• Private noncommercial sports field, or similar open area use
• Community recreation area or clubhouse
• Public transit shelter
• Public utility
• Government facility
• Public park
• Personal wireless service facility
• Restricting existing properties developed as MHPs to remain only as that use may affect the value
of said properties and could potentially be considered a taking, depending on how restrictive such
a provision would be.b
If a MHP Zoning Designation were imposed on existing mobile /manufactured home parks,
owners of the parks may take compensatory or even retaliatory actions such as:
o Raising the cost to rent a space
o Converting the property to condominiums and putting the spaces up for sale in order
to preserve the value of the property.
• Any such responses intended to compensate for lost property value could undermine the initial
intent of preserving existing affordable housing.
• Drafting regulations for a MHP Zoning Designation and rezoning property developed as MHPs to
said designation will consume many hours of planning and legal staff time due to the subject
matter being contentious and potentially being appealed by the owners of the parks.
6 In 2009, the City of Tumwater adopted a zoning district and accompanying comprehensive plan designation for manufactured
and mobile homes and rezoned six of the ten manufacturing parks to this designation. Several of the park owners challenged the
ordinances as a regulatory taking. The Ninth Circuit Court upheld the city's actions; concluding that the ordinances had minimal
economic effect on the plaintiffs, that the impact on their investment - backed expectations was highly speculative, and that the
ordinances did not force plaintiffs to continue operating their properties as manufactured home parks. The court also rejected
Plaintiff's allegations that the ordinances amounted to "spot zoning."
In 2008, residents of Kloshe Illahee, located outside of the City, claimed that the owners of the park, Chicago -based
Manufactured Homes Communities Inc. (MHC), raised their rent in retribution for a lawsuit filed against the company by the
residents association the previous year.

H. POTENTIAL 2014 PLANNING COMMISSION WORK PROGRAM/STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The long range planning staff is comprised of 1.5 Full Time Equivalents (FTE) and the current
planning staff is comprised of 2.5 FTE's, for a total of 4.0 FTE's. Long range planning activities
include comprehensive plan amendments, code amendments, and monitoring and reporting
development activity.
In the past, current planning staff has assisted the long range division in preparing code amendments
based on the current planning staff's capacity and depending on the level of development activity.
Applications for development activity increased during 2013, and therefore, current planning staff did
not have much capacity to assist with code amendments. From all indications current planning activity
appears to be increasing even more for 2014. Therefore, similarly to 2013, it is unlikely that current
planning staff will have the capacity for much assistance with code amendments in 2014. Moreover, in
2014, approximately 1/2 FTE current planning staff will be shifted to long range to assist in the major
comprehensive plan update. Subsequently, there may be little overall capacity to work on code
amendments. Nonetheless, staff recommends the following Planning Commission Work Program
recognizing that many of these items may have to be carried over to the 2015 Work Program.'
The potential work program is organized as follows:
REQUIRED ACTIONS
• 2015 Major Comprehensive Plan Update
• Critical Areas Regulations Update$
6 This will be used to prepare the 6 -year and 20 -year forecast for transportation facilities in Chapter 3, "Transportation," and
Chapter 6, "Capital Facilities."
7 The 2014 Planning Commission Work Program is recommended to be the same as the 2013 Work Program.
8 This is part of the 2015 Major Update of Development Regulations, which is expected to continue into 2015.

CC: MAYOR FERRELL
BRIAN WILSON, CHIEF OF STAFF
FROM: PAT RICHARDSON, CITY ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: PROPOSED SUSPENSION OF COUNCIL RULE 21.4 - INTERVIEW PROCESS
The City Clerk received twenty (20) eligible applications as verified by King County
Elections. Council Rule 21.4 establishes a thirty (30) minute interview process for each
applicant. (The language from Rule 21.4 follows this paragraph). Under the current Rule it
would take approximately ten (10) hours to interviews of all the applicants; plus time to
deliberate. The issue before Council is a proposed interview process to suspend Council Rule
21.4 to shorten the interview time, and prevent an unfair advantage for later appearing
applicants.
COUNCIL RULE 21.4
Each interview of an applicant/candidate shall be no more than 30 minutes in length as
follows:
(1) The applicant shall present his/her credentials to the City Council. (10 minutes).
(2) The City Council shall ask the predetermined set of questions which must be
responded to by the applicant. Each applicant will be asked and will answer the
same set of questions, and will have 2 minutes to answer each question. (14
minutes).
(3) An informal question and answer period in which Council Members may ask and
receive answers to miscellaneous questions. (10 minutes).
(4) The applicants' order of appearances will be determined by a random lot drawing
performed by the City Clerk.
(5) The Council may reduce the 30- minute interview time if the number of
applicants exceeds six (6) candidates, or alternatively, the Council may elect not
to interview all of the applicants if the number exceeds six (6) candidates. The
decision as to which applicants to interview will be based on the information
contained in the application forms.
Council Rule 21.4.
On January 7, 2014 the City Council suspended Council Rule 21.4 to provide for written
questions and responses with the application instead of orally asking the questions. The
proposed modification to subsection 2 below addresses only the allotted time.
PROPOSED PROCESS SUSPENDING COUNCIL RULE 21.4
21.4(l) Shorten the time for the applicants to present their credentials to five (5) minutes.
21.4(2) Council shall ask clarification or follow -up questions to the written responses. (10
minutes)
21.4(3) Delete step.
Council Rule 21.5 would remain: Council will consider the qualifications of the
applicants in Executive Session, and will return to the public meeting where the Mayor will
conduct the nominations and voting. Once Council has made the appointment, the City Clerk
will administer the oath of office.'

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 31, 2014
TO: City Councilmembers
FROM: Patrick Doh 4ie6`ior, Community and Economic Development

SUBJECT: Final Administrative Decision/Appeal Process Code Amendment
In several places in the Federal Way Revised Code Council is identified as the final
body to make administrative decisions or hear administrative appeals, after which an issue
may be further appealed to Superior Court. In this role, Council acts in a quasi-judicial
manner and can only consider information in the record when rendering a decision. If a
Councilmember makes a decision based on outside information or appears to be biased, the
decision of Council can be subject to challenge and overturned. To prevent this,
Councilmembers limit their contact with the public on pending issues that may come before
Council on appeal. However, limiting contact with the public may be counterintuitive to
Council's general role as a legislative body where citizens are encouraged to engage Council
and Council actively seeks citizen input.
An alternative is to delegate to the City's Hearing Examiner the responsibility of
making final administrative decisions and hearing final appeals. Currently, Council limits
the Hearing Examiner to making recommendations or making decisions that can be appealed
to Council. However, more and more cities are delegating final decisions and final appeals
to hearing examiners who are experts in these areas of the law. The Municipal Research
Services Center indicates that more than ninety cities delegate certain final decisions and
final appeals to hearing examiners. Attached is a list of cities that use the hearing examiner
to make final decisions — the cities of Des Moines, Edmonds, Fife, Kirkland and Maple
Valley are now included in the list since 2010.
The proposed ordinance authorizes the Hearing Examiner to make the final
administrative decision and/or hear the final appeal in the following matters:
1) Development Regulations - FWRC 19.70
2) Right of Way Activities - FWRC 4.3 0.110
3) Surface Water Fee, Individual Rate Adjustment - FWRC 11.45. 100
4) Environmental Regulations - FWRC 14.10.060
5) Preliminary Plat Approval - FWRC 18.35
(By law Council is required to approve /accept final plats but this is a
ministerial, nondiscretionary process of determining whether the conditions
of the preliminary plat have been met.)
If passed, Councilmembers would be removed from having a potential quasi-judicial role in
these matters.
