improve the visual sight of the lobbies. There will also be space for a future x-ray machine. Court room 2 will have
a door added directly to the Judge and Clerk’s bench. This will improve the security for this court room. The amount
of the award is $37,931.89. The work will be done in the evenings, so the court can function during the day.

MOU Between Center for Children and Youth Justice and Federal Way Poli ce Department- Information
Only
Chief Hwang stated that they partner with Suburban King County Coordinating Council on Gangs (SKCCCG). They
have been partnering with them since 2011. There is a regional effort to impact gang activity, and at risk youth.
SKCCCG needs to renew this MOU to apply for grants. The Federal Way Police Department collects data and
reports the data to a uniform reporting system.
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Program – Information Only
Chief Hwang reported that they received a grant to purchase 14 AED’s. These will be placed in the police vehicles.
They are partnering with the Fire Department and EMS. Many times Police Officers are first responders to cardiac
arrest situations. The officers will be trained on the AED’s. Each shift and squad will have an AED.
King County Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) for Decatur High School – Information Only
Chief Hwang stated that a BDA was installed many years ago at Decatur High School. This system is no longer
working, and it needs to be replaced. There is a history of the radios not working at this location, and it is imperative
that the system be replaced prior to the 2014-2015 school year. The cost of the replacement is $17,240.00.
Discussion of Ordinance for Youth Commission
Chair Honda stated that the Ordinance for the Youth Commission needs to be updated because it does not list all of
the schools in the Federal Way School District. The committee and Council member Assafa-Dawson discussed the
changes that they would like to make to the ordinance. The Legal Department will draft up the ordinance with the
requested changes, and inform the Mayor that the ordinance is being updated. The ordinance will be brought back to
the September PRHSPS committee meeting. It will have its second reading at the first Council meeting in October,
and then will be enacted 30 days after publication. Advertising and interviews for the positions can take place
anytime. The appointments would be effective in November. Ms. Pearsall will look into waiving the 30 day rule, to
see if this can be effective sooner; it may be possible to do first reading and enactment at the same Council meeting.
Parks Property Tax Levy Agreement
The Parks Department has been receiving money thru Proposition 2 parks property tax levy. The department has
received and average of $150,000-$160,000 per year. The money received thru proposition 2 could only be used for
trail improvements. The levy has expired, and in 2013 another levy was passed. This new levy can be used on any
park improvements. This levy will be enacted for six years. Committee member Moore asked if some of the funds
could be allocated towards Lakota Park. Ikerd answered that with the change in language in the agreement it could
go towards that. Committee member Duclos moved to forward option 1 to the September 2, 2014 City Council
consent agenda for approval. Committee member Moore seconded. Motion passed.
Town Square Playground Equipment
Mr. Hutton stated that this concept was presented at the August 6 Parks Commission meeting. Mr. Ikerd and Mr.
Hutton presented a power point displaying three different options for playground equipment, trees, and shelter ideas
for the park. Each playground option includes a 2 bay swing set. All of the playground equipment is ADA
compliant. Committee member Duclos stated that we should no longer be calling Town Square Park a temporary
park; it needs to be acknowledged that this is a real park, and will become a part of the park system. Chair Honda
stated that she is not in favor of playground equipment at that park; she does not want to spend any more money
because it is a temporary park, and part of that property is supposed to be for sale. She would like to see a park plan
so that they can be assured that this can be moved to another location at that site. Committee member Duclos stated
that there needs to be a decision on whether or not this property is for sale or is it going to become a downtown park.
If the property is going to be sold, then nothing else should be done at that site. Deputy Mayor Burbidge stated that
it is challenging to predict the future; she thinks that more planning needs to be done. Hutton stated that everything
that has been placed in the park is moveable. It is his understanding that if something changed, everything could be
moved within the site itself. Committee member Moore stated that clearly there are questions that need to be
answered, but he would like to see this move forward to do whatever the city can to bring families to the Town
Square Park. Ms. Pearsall stated that they would not sell a portion of the property, the entire parcel would be sold,
developed and the developer would re-dedicate back the portion that is the park. Ms. Pearsall added that it is a
requirement for any development that goes in that location that they develop a part of the parcel as a park. Council
can change this requirement, but this has been the vision. Chair Honda stated that is has been her understanding that
we are only selling two acres and keeping the other two acres for a park. After discussion it was decided to move
this forward, and place it on the Business Agenda for discussion, and at the agenda setting add another item for a
more in-depth discussion about the property. Shelter options were reviewed, and the types of trees and the location
of those trees in the park were also discussed. Committee member Moore asked what the process was in discussing
PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES & PUBLIC SAFETY COUNCIL COMMITTEE
Tuesday, August 12, 2014 Summary
Page 3
and deciding on the trees. Hutton answered that this was discussed at the Parks Commission meeting; everyone
wanted fall colors, foliage and shade. Committee member Duclos made a motion to put a discussion on the
agenda for the September 2, 2014 Council meeting to talk about the development of Town Square property
and the future of it. Committee member Moore seconded. Motion passed.
Committee member Moore moved to forward option 1 to the September 2, 2014 City Council Business
agenda for approval. There will be a presentation and discussion on the Town Square Park property, then a
discussion on the Playground Equipment. Committee member Duclos seconded. Motion passed.

To:

From:

Subject:
Parks Property Tax Levy Agreement
Background:
In June of 2012, the County Executive convened the King County Parks Levy Task
Force to recommend a funding plan for the current park system and to examine how to
address the parks and recreation needs of King County residents in the future.
The King County Parks Levy Task Force recommended that the County replace the
expiring levies and put a ballot measure before the voters in 2013 that requests a six -year
inflation- adjusted property tax levy lift at a total rate of $0.1901 per one thousand dollars
of assessed value with a percentage of the levy proceeds to be distributed to cities for
their local parks system projects.
On April 30, 2013, the King County Council adopted Ordinance 17568 which called
for a special election in accordance with RCW 29A.04.321 to authorize an additional 6-
year property tax levy for specified park purposes.
On August 6, 2013, King County voters approved Proposition No. 1 Parks Levy that
authorized an additional six year property tax levy at a rate of $0.1877 in the first year,
with subsequent levies adjusted by inflation for the purpose of: maintaining and operating
King County's parks system, improving parks, recreation and mobility by acquiring open
space, expanding park and recreation opportunities, continuing to develop regional trails;
repairing, replacing, and improving local parks and trails in King County's cities; and
funding environmental educations, maintenance, conservation, and capital programs at
the Woodland Park Zoo.
Cities within King County will share the funds raised by these levies. The City of
Federal Way averaged receiving between $150- 160,000 during the past 6 -year Levy
which expired in 2013. It is expected that the City of Federal Way will receive
approximately $160,000 for each of the next 6 years that this new Levy will be in effect.
These funds must be used for Park and Recreation improvements within the City.
Action:
Council approval to accept the voter approved King County Proposition No. 1 Parks Levy
and authorize the Mayor to sign the Parks Property Tax Levy Agreement.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends accepting the new Proposition 1 King County Parks Levy and authorize
the Mayor to sign the Parks Property Tax Levy Agreement.
