7. ORDINANCES
First Reading
a. Council Bill #736/Imposing an Excise Tax on Public and Private Water
and Sewer Utilities
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY, WASHINGTON,
RELATING TO THE IMPOSITION OF AN EXCISE TAX ON BUSINESS
ACTIVITIES OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE WATER AND SEWER UTILITIES
WITHIN FEDERAL WAY; AND AMENDING FWRC 3.10.040.
Finance Director Ade Ariwoola thanked the City Council for all of the questions and support over
the last few weeks. He discussed the structural imbalance which happens when ongoing
expenditures exceed ongoing revenues, creating a budget deficit.
At 9:50 p.m. Mayor Ferrell asked for a motion to extend the meeting past 10:00 p.m.
DEPUTY MAYOR HONDA MOVED TO SUSPEND COUNCIL RULES AND EXTEND THE MEETING
PAST 10:00 P.M. SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER KOPPANG. The motion passed unanimously
as follows:
Deputy Mayor Honda yes Councilmember Koppang yes
Councilmember Assefa-Dawson yes Councilmember Moore yes
Councilmember Johnson yes Councilmember Duclos yes
Councilmember Tran yes
Finance Director Ade Ariwoola invited department directors to the podium to speak about current and
past staffing levels, increased responsibility, and overall budget concerns in their department.
Parks Director John Hutton gave staggering statistics showing staffing levels in his department. He
noted parks maintenance workers are responsible on average for 95 acers per employee. He also
noted the city has recently added Town Square Park, Laurelwood Park, Brooklake and two (2) new
ballfields at Lakota Park which equal 30 new acres of property which needs upkeep and maintenance.
The staffing levels as compared to neighboring cities are as follows:
• Federal Way (96,350) 38.5 FTE 1 FTE for every 2,503 residents
• Auburn (77,442) 50 FTE 1 FTE for every 1,549 residents
• Renton (100,953) 94.5 FTE 1 FTE for every 1,068 residents
• Kent (127,514) 98 FTE 1 FTE for every 1,301 residents
• Tukwila (20,000) 34 FTE 1 FTE for every 588 residents
Mr. Hutton noted the Parks Department had a staffing of 44.25 FTE in 2009 and since that decrease
due to the recession, has remained fairly even in staffing since that time. He has recently lost four
long time employees to other jurisdictions who offered more competitive salaries and job duties.
Public Works Director Marwan Salloum spoke regarding the lean staffing levels as compared to the
increase in lane miles, roads, and infrastructure. He is concerned over shifting priorities over the years
to respond to current homeless issues and shopping carts pull staff from the daily duties ongoing
normal maintenance issues which need attention. The department should be fully staffed in order to
respond to normal priorities and new or emergent issues.
Mr. Salloum has worked for the city for 23 years and the staff levels are similar in his department as
shown in the traffic division alone has the same amount of staff (4 FTE) as was the year he started in
1995. The only slight increase in staff overall is due to mandated requirements from the state. He
shared concern with the rate of inflation and unfunded state mandates.
Federal Way City Council Regular Minutes Page 5 of 10
March 6, 2018
He noted the street overlay budget is 1.1 million; the same budget amount as it was in 1995. Every
year since 2007 the direction has been given to cut department budgets back by at least 3% and
when combined with the overall inflation rate, the allocated dollars are not going as far. He stated
cutting budgets consistently and not accounting for inflation (2007 to 2017 inflation rate is 20%) has
caused this imbalance.
Mr. Ariwoola added the cost of living adjustment non -represented staff received of 1% is less than the
current inflation rate of 1.5%.
Police Chief Andy Hwang briefly spoke regarding the Police Department budget as authorized in 2006
at 136 officers and we have been operating below that number. The increase of population and
tremendous growth in the city in that same time frame has also affected calls for service. Average
response time for all calls a few years ago were at fifteen (15) minutes and are currently at nineteen
(19) minutes. He is focusing and hopeful to reach the staffing level of 136 later this year.
Community Development Department Director Brian Davis highlighted staffing concerns in his
department and the loss of long term employees to other jurisdictions with better salary and job
duties. His department was staffed in 2010 with a high of 31.4 FTE's and currently has a level of
24.75 FTE. In the last five years there has been an increase of 5% annually in volume and only 2.5%
increase in staffing means the need is outpacing the staff.
He highlighted the Targe projects in the city and direction from Council has made it challenging to keep
up with the demand of what the department could be and should be working on. Unfortunately, his
department is not nimble and flexible to cut any additional staff at this time with the added demand
and lower pay of non -represented staff. In response to questions, Mr. Davis feels increasing staff pay
for current employees to retain them is preferred over increasing the amount of new staff.
Information Technology Manager Thomas Fichtner provided historical staffing on his department
which shows 9.0 FTE in 2002 and a high of 10.6 FTE in 2008. Currently, the IT department is at 7.0
FTE. He further compared multiple neighboring cities including the following:
• Federal Way
• Auburn
• Kent
• Renton
7.0 FTE
17.0 FTE
31.0 FTE
18.5 FTE
49.8 city employees to every IT staff member
25.7 city employees to every IT staff member
22.8 city employees to every IT staff member
30.6 city employees to every IT staff member
Mr. Fichtner reported there have been an increase in IT needs across all departments over the years
including addition of new city facilities, the Safe City program, FWWireless, web permitting, patrol car
technology, cell phones, fiber networking, and email archiving. Large programs and applications such
as Spillman (police), JustWare (court), AMANDA (permits), Eden (Financial), Laserfiche (document
management/retention), VueWorks (public works), and CLASS (parks) are also all supported heavily
by his staff. His staff across the board, multi -tasking over different job duties such as help -desk
support, in addition to working night meetings, and weekends on system updates. He is concerned
with retaining the amazing long-term, dedicated staff that could easily double their salaries at other
agencies with less job duties.
Director Ariwoola closed his presentation with presenting the funding options to close the 2018 budget
shortfall. Options included Admissions Tax, delay of hiring police officers, extend the useful life of
patrol cars, and adjust Performing Arts & Event Center staffing levels with the use of fund balance.
These options are all one time not ongoing. He reviewed the major projects which have been
completed in the last few years and the funding sources of these projects. He reviewed the questions
and answers he has received and given to Council throughout this process.
Councilmembers thanked Mr. Ariwoola and the department directors for the thoroughness of the
Federal Way City Council Regular Minutes Page 6 of 10
March 6, 2018
presentations and asked clarifying questions regarding the information presented.
At 10:06 p.m. Mayor Ferrell announced the council would take a brief recess. At 10:14 p.m.
Mayor Ferrell reconvened the meeting.
Councilmembers asked additional questions and clarification regarding police department overtime,
permit processing timelines, Sound Transit projects and timelines, economic development, and IRG.
Council also asked the possibility of increased automation of services, and performing a salary survey
for non -represented staff. Councilmembers concurred they need to find a sustainable revenue source.
Deputy City Attorney Mark Orthmann presented the draft ordinance for Council Bill #737. Mr.
Orthmann noted state law authorizes every cities to levy taxes on businesses including water and
sewer utilities. More than 150 cities in Washington currently impose and excise tax on water and
sewer. While the city does not currently tax water and sewer utilities, it has enacted 7.75% excise tax
on other utilities and activities including natural gas, electricity, solid waste and communications. If
enacted, the excise tax will result in a net collection of approximately $980,000 a year.
In response to questions, Mr. Orthmann said there is no state mandate for amount and the rate would
not increase without legislative action. The average cost per household is estimated at $6-$7 every
two months.
City Clerk Stephanie Courtney read the ordinance title into the record.
COUNCILMEMBER DUCLOS MOVED TO FORWARD THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO THE
MARCH 20, 2018 COUNCIL MEETING FOR SECOND READING AND ENACTMENT;
