Reciprocal EOC Use Agreement Between the Cities of Auburn, Federal Way and Kent The idea for this agreement was created because of the potential failure of the Howard Hanson Dam. If one of the participating cities EOC is not operational, they will call one of the signatories to see if their EOC is available. The potential host city can turn down the request for use of their EOC. The EOC operational equipment and room is available to the requesting city. The host EOC will provide a liaison. Training in each participating city's EOC will occur every year. This is an ongoing Agreement, but there is an option to withdraw from the Agreement. The requesting City will be responsible for any damage to the EOC. Deputy Mayor Burbidge moved to forward the Reciprocal EOC Use Agreement between the Cities of Auburn, Federal Way and Kent to the July 18, 2017 consent agenda for approval. Committee member Assefa- Dawson seconded. Motion Passed.

Restorative Justice Judge Larson stated that restorative justice deals with treating the disease rather than symptoms. Most people that the Judge sees in court over and over again have three things in common: Mental illness, addiction or both. Restorative justice gets down to the underlying causes of crime rather than just treating the symptoms. The focus is on the defendant, and they get rid of the impetus for crime, which will reduce the number of victims. Judge Larson gave a brief explanation of the nine restorative justice programs in Federal Way. Those programs are: 1) Domestic Violence Victims Panel, 2) DUI Victims Panel. 3) Juvenile Diversion, 4) Consumer Awareness Class, 5) Community Service, 6) Work Crew, 7) Restitution, 8) New Connections and 9) Mediation /Conflict Resolution. Judge Larson also discussed suggestions for the future. Possible ideas are: 1) Community partnerships to develop structured Community Service. Those partnerships could include Parks, Public Works, Federal Way Public Schools, South King Fire, Lakehaven and community based non - profits. The difficulty with this is that there is not enough support to manage it. 2) Fund a pilot project with the Dispute Resolution Center of King County (DRCKC) at one or more problematic multi- family housing developments 3) Develop a "Community of Peace" in cooperation with DRCKC and the Court — this would "breathe life into Resolution 10- 375 ", which is endorsing the use of alternative dispute resolution services through the DRCKC. Judge Larson stated that you can add more police officers and courts, but the issues come from the ground up. The underlying issues need to be treated. 4) Work with the King County Prosecutor to enhance Juvenile Diversion, 5) Work with the Federal Way Public Schools in the development of Youth Courts. 6) Cooperate in the development of a Community Court. Forming partnerships in the community is very important. The next steps are forming partnerships with the apartments and police for mediation. The idea of having a "Community of Peace" is resolving issues at the grassroots.
