directly affected. He would not like to see a road punched through that would cut his property in half and come within 20 feet
of his house. He is also requesting that the extension be removed from the comp plan.

extension would go through a wetland. The proposed amendment is also 200 feet longer which he believes would increase
cost. He would like to see a better solution.

work for Federal Way.

Phillip Omelchenko, a Federal Way resident, spoke about item F and expressed concerns about the ecosystem and the
potential for speeding due to the road creating a shortcut.

traffic it would bring, potential speeding, and the safety of the kids in the neighborhood.

not use those neighborhoods to solve traffic congestion issues.
Rick Beard, a Federal Way resident, spoke in support of item F but also stated his understanding of the concerns expressed
by other residents. He listed the benefits of being able to develop to improve the roads, eliminate a 900 curve, and allow
another access point for emergency vehicles into the neighborhood.

impact to school capacity and buses, specifically at Rainier View Elementary.

SUBJECT: Brook Lake Center Connector Trail at West Hylebos Wetlands Park 85% Bid Award
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
This project was included within the approved budget under the 2019/2020 Surface Water Management
(SWM) CIP budget(304, Project 284). In accordance with the approved budget, and additional
unallocated funding this project is fully funded by SWM Utility Tax.Upon completion of this project,
ongoing costs associated with operations and maintenance will be performed and funded through Parks
Department maintenance. Funding requirements for operations and maintenance of infrastructure is
reviewed and adjusted as required during the budget process.
BACKGROUND:
This Project will connect the terminus of the West Hylebos Wetlands Park Boardwalk Trail to the Brook
Lake Center property on the east side of Brook Lake. The project is entirely on City-owned property and
will provide a second access point to the West Hylebos Wetlands Park Boardwalk Trail.
The West Hylebos Wetlands Park and Boardwalk Trail are critical to SWM's public education and
outreach efforts, including the annual Storming the Sound with Salmon Release Event, which has grown
significantly since 2014. Logistics, safety, and parking are a challenge as the number of students, school
busses, education stations,and salmon fry to be released have increased each year. Presently,the
Boardwalk Trail ends at the northern end of Brook Lake at the Brook Lake Overlook. Building the
Connector Trail will connect the Brook Lake Center to the existing Boardwalk Trail and allow additional
access to facilities for students and the 40+volunteers that sponsor education stations. Improved logistic
efficiency during the release event will allow SWM to sustain the event and the completed Connector
Trail will provide all City residents another access point to the Park.
Two bids were received and opened on March 20,2019 for the Brook Lake Center Connector project;
please see attached Bid Tabulation Summary. The lowest responsive,responsible bidder is Talakai
Construction,LLC, with a total bid of$281,231.50. Staff reviewed the bids received. As both bids were
relatively close in cost, staff believes that the City is unlikely to receive better bids if the project was to be
rebid.
AVAILABLE FUNDING:
SWM CIP Funds 1 $232,872.00
SWM Fund 304 Transfer $136,482.65

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 1, 2019
TO: Land Use&Transportation Committee
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: EJ Walsh,P.E.,Public Works Director
Leah Myhre, Water Quality Program Coordinator lt/\
SUBJECT: North Lake LMD—North Lake LMD Petition Review, Resolution of Intent, and Setting
of a Public Hearing Date
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
North Lake Management District 2 (NLMD)activities are funded through the collection of special
assessments that will be collected annually. These assessments are collected from property owners having
properties adjacent to North Lake with lakefront footage or with deeded lake access.All City of Federal
Way staff activities related to the NLMD are funded through these assessments,and thus will have no
direct financial impacts on the City.
BACKGROUND:
After 10 years of successful lake management, 2019 will bring to a close the existing NLMD(2010-
2019). The NLMD provided an organizational structure and funding mechanism that allowed for
proactive lake management focusing on the protection and enhancement of water quality, recreational
use, and aesthetic value of North Lake. Citizens involved in the formation and operation of the NLMD are
now interested in reforming the North Lake Management District Number 2 for another 10-year period.
Attached is a signed petition to the City of Federal Way City Council to renew the Lake Management
District Number 2,beginning in 2020 with duration through 2029.The petition is being submitted by the
current North Lake Advisory Committee and contains the signatures of 27 property owners that represent
17.74%percent of the acreage contained within the boundaries of the proposed district. This meets the
criteria set forth in RCW 36.61.030 for the initiation of a lake management district. A copy of the petition
is attached.
Should the Council find that the attached petition is sufficient,the NLMD reformation process requires
that a resolution of intent to reform the NLMD be adopted and that a public hearing date be set on the
reformation of the lake management district.
16
Petition to the Federal Way City Council to Renew the
Lake Management District Number 2 for North Lake,2020-2029
We, the undersigned North Lake property owners, request that the Federal Way City Council
renew the Lake Management District(LMD)Number 2 for North Lake pursuant to RCW 36.61
that will otherwise expire in 2019. The LMD funds will finance efforts to protect and enhance
North Lake in terms of water quality, recreational uses, and aesthetic value.
1. Purpose of the Lake Management District
• Form a Lake Management District that creates a funding source and an operational
program for all future designated aquatic plant management, water quality
management, and maintenance and monitoring activities.
• Perform annual diver surveys to monitor changes in the aquatic plant community.
• Control,remove, and contain aquatic plants, specifically non-native populations at as
low a density as is environmentally and economically feasible, and at levels that will
not impact public safety or the beneficial uses of the lake.
• Reduce all other identified species of noxious weeds per the requirements of WAC
16-750 and even further, to levels that do not impact public safety, beneficial uses, or
ecology of the lake.
• Use appropriate aquatic plant control and treatment methods as needed for all other
problematic aquatic weeds, using the best available science to identify and understand
their effects on human, aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems prior to implementation.
• Assess, improve, and monitor water levels and water quality.
• Continue public education to prevent the introduction of noxious weeds, nuisance
plants and non-native animal species to the lake; and to aid in the early detection of
aquatic weed re-infestations.
• Conduct a volunteer-driven water quality monitoring program that will track lake
health based on the collection of data, including but not limited to: water level,
temperature, Secchi depth, phosphorous and nitrogen.
.• Conduct public education to reduce the amounts of non-point source pollutants
entering the lake, which can result in increased aquatic algae.
• Continue to involve the North Lake Community in lake quality improvement.
• Advocate for the preservation of the forested lakeshore and wetlands of the former
Weyerhaeuser Campus in Federal Way, a vital component of the North Lake-Hylebos
watershed.
• Uphold the Shoreline Management Act that protects shoreline natural resources
against adverse environmental impacts.
The 2004 North Lake Integrated Aquatic Vegetation Management Plan(IAVMP) and
subsequent Annual Reports (2005-2018) include the basis for the annual LMD work plan
and LMD management goals. The LMD will reimburse the City for costs incurred by
staff in providing aquatic vegetation program management tasks.
All management district lake improvement and maintenance activities described in RCW
36.61.020 may be considered in the LMD scope, including: (1) controlling or removing

aquatic plants and vegetation; (2) improving water quality; (3) controlling water levels;
(4)treating and diverting stormwater; (5) controlling agricultural waste; (6) studying lake
water quality problems and solutions; (7) cleaning and maintaining ditches and streams
entering the lake; (8) monitoring air quality; and(9) the related administrative,
engineering, legal, and operational costs, including the costs of creating the LMD.
2. Boundary
The proposed boundary of the LMD would include all property with lakefront on North
Lake, and two individual adjacent properties that have lake access deeds. See attached
map of proposed properties within the district.
3. Duration
The proposed duration of the LMD renewal is 10 years.
4: Charges to Property Owners
Annual rates and charges will be used to raise funds to support LMD activities. The
following is the formula of rates and charges proposed for establishment of the
assessment role for the LMD:
Assessment Category Rate Revenue ($)
Single Family Residential (RS9.6), Lakefront property
Developed property (57 units) X$ 125.00 per unit $7,125
Vacant property(220 ft) X $ 0.85 per lakefront foot $187
Single Family Residential (RS9.6), Non-lakefront property with deeded lake access
Developed property (2 units) X$ 90.00 per unit $180
Weyerhaeuser(CP-1)
Commercial property (3,796 ft) X$ 1.00 per lakefront foot $3,796
WDFW Public Boat Launch Single annual assessment $4,000
TOTAL ANNUAL ASSESSMENT $15,288
It is proposed that unallocated funds in the current LMD at the end of 2019 roll over into
the LMD Number 2 for North Lake, 2020-2029.
The estimated maximum amount that is proposed for the LMD in 2020 is $15,288.00. An
automatic increase based on the Seattle Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be included in
each annual billing after 2020 per approval by the North Lake Advisory Committee. At
no time is the increase to be more than five (5)percent per year. Total maximum LMD
rate revenue for the ten-year LMD based on an annual five percent increase for inflation
is $192,290.82. Issuance of revenue bonds is not proposed.

The LMD budget and rates will be approved through a public hearing and a public vote
after the city council adopts a resolution to form the LMD. Once approved by the public
and city council,the annual rates and charges may not be altered without another public
vote and city council approval with the exception of the CPI increase described above.
5. North Lake Management District Advisory Committee
The volunteer North Lake Management District Advisory Committee (Advisory
Committee) is proposed to represent the interests of LMD property owners in the various
neighborhoods around the lake. City staff will work with the Advisory Committee to
develop the annual work plan. The annual LMD work plan and budget will be forwarded
by the Advisory Committee for implementation by the City's surface water utility. The
Advisory Committee will track and review activities and expenditures by the City as well
as outside contractors. City staff will provide Advisory Committee support including
quarterly financial reports.

TO: City Council
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: EJ Walsh,P.E.,Public Works Director
Erik Preston,P.E., Senior Traffic Engineer
SUBJECT: Authorization to Accept WA State Transportation Improvement Board Grant Funding
for Complete Streets Project
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
This Complete Streets project was not included in the current budget due to timing of the grant
application process. The total project costs are estimated to be $200,000 with the proposed funding make-
up to include $100,000 (TIB Grant); and $100,000 from the Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) account. A budget
amendment will be required prior to project construction in 2020.
This project is a sidewalk and signal retrofit project and therefore, no additional operation and
maintenance funds will be required.
BACKGROUND:
In 2015, the legislature authorized Complete Streets Award funding (administered through the
Transportation Improvement Board (TIB)) to any local agency who has an adopted complete streets
ordinance and shows an ethic of planning and building streets that use context sensitive solutions to
accommodate all users, including pedestrians, transit users, cyclists, and motorists. This program is
unique in that it provides flexible funding to be utilized to improve the transportation experience for all
users and can range from operation and maintenance to capital improvements.
In order to be considered for a Complete Streets Award,the local agency must receive a nomination from
at least one of eight eligible non-motorized transportation advocate groups or agencies. The City received
two nominations: one from Feet First and Community Transportation Association-NW.
Once confirmed for an award, TIB requests a work plan from each agency detailing what the funds will
be utilized for. Funds need to be utilized within 20 months in order to be eligible for the next round of
Complete Streets awards. After consultation with TIB, it was determined that funding should be focused
on upgrading known obstacles within high priority pedestrian corridors. Consistent with the city's Draft
American with Disabilities Act(ADA) Transition Plan,the highest priority pedestrian corridors are within
the city center.
The proposed project will upgrade the curb ramps and pedestrian signal push buttons at the intersection of
S320 1h Street and Pacific Highway South to meet current ADA standards.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 1, 2019
TO: Land Use&Transportation Committee
VIA: Jim Ferrell. Mayor /J
EJ Walsh, ['.L;., [)hector of Public WorkWe
FROM: 7esiree S.Winkler, P.E.,Deputy Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Underground Utility Locating Services Agreement
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
This project was included within the 2019-2020 budget for both Surface Water Management and Traffic
Division for a total of$92,410 per year.
This will replace the current Traffic contract of$27,410 per year with King County. No new General
Fund money will be allocated to this contract, however the City's risk associated with utility strikes will
be reduced from the current contract amount.
Within the Surface Water Management $65,000 per year has been programmed to fund this contract.To
continue to meet the expanding requirements of our NPDES Permit, without this contract,the City would
need to either hire an additional SWM Inspector or outsource other inspection work. Both of those
options would have a larger financial burden on the City than outsourcing the utility locate contract.
This contract will be managed by existing staff, and no other Financial Impacts are anticipated.
BACKGROUND:
During the 2019-2020 budget process Public Works reviewed all of our in-house and contracted services
to identify both financial savings and also opportunities to create efficiencies within the Public Works
Department. One area that was identified was the Underground Utility Locate program.
The City is required by RCW to mark-out or confirm there are no City owned utilities (Surface Water,
Street and Traffic Lights,Fiber)when a One Call is requested within City Limits. Currently a Surface
Water Management Inspector marks-out Surface Water utilities; Street and Traffic Lights are marked out
as part of a contract with King County; and Fiber is largely not marked. In the event of a utility being hit
during construction, if the City did not mark or cause the utility to be properly marked, the City is liable
for the repair costs.
Surface Water Management originally had 0.2 FTE of an inspector dedicated to meeting this requirement.
Currently SWM has 0.5 FTE dedicated to complete the increased workload associated with the increasing
amount of development occurring within the City. Inspection requirements from Ecology associated with
the City's NPDES Permit have also increased over the last several years and without outsourcing this
SWM will be required to bring in additional staff or contracts to complete other NPDES Permit mandated
requirements such as Commercial Inspections, Surface Water Outfall Inspections,and Catch Basin
Inspections. Within the 2019 -2020 budget, Surface Water allocated$65,000 towards contract funding.
Traffic currently contracts with King County to complete this work at an approximate cost of$27,410 per
year. In accordance with the King County Contract, they operate as an extension of our staff,meaning if
32
April 1,2019
Land.Use and Transportation Committee
Underground Utility Locate Agreement
Page 2
something is not marked or miss-marked the City is liable for the damage to the utility, not the County.
This same funding amount is proposed to be transferred to this program,with no increase in funding.
IT typically does not mark out fiber,meaning if there is a strike or damage,the City is fully liable for
damages. While these are not budgeted,when a strike occurs it typically costs approximately$5,000 to
$50,000.The cost for IT to be included within this contract was identified as approximately$10,000 per
year,however this was not funded as part of the 2019-2020 budget.
The approved budget includes outsourcing both the Surface Water Management and the Traffic
components to a single,competitively secured, contract.As part of the new contract,the successful firm
will assume the liability that is currently being transferred from King County to the City.
The request for proposals includes an hourly rate for locating fiber optic cable upon City special request
outside of the one call system.Although currently not budgeted for,this pre-determined rate provides
flexibility to add this service at a future date if additional funding becomes available or is necessary as
part of a separately funded project.
Only one proposal was received.Although seemingly non-competitive, it was not surprising, as USIC
Locating Services,LLC is the primary underground utility locator in the area and therefore benefits from
economies of scale providing locates for other utilities in the same location.USIC Locating Services,
LLC has a proven track record,positive references, and reasonable costs,and therefore,staff recommends
entering into this agreement.

SUBJECT: Authorization to Change Sponsor or King County Conservation Futures Funding Award
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The Hylebos Conservation Property Acquisition project was included in the 2017 SWM CIP update and
approved by City Council on June 6, 2017. The approved budget for this project is$2,000,000 of which
$1,000,000 is SWM CIP (304)funding and$1,000,000 is King County Conservation 2018 Futures Tax
levy(CFT) award.
On January 15, 2019 City Council authorized SWM staff to accept the 2019 CFT funding award in the
amount of$500,000.
Forterra previously received funding from the State Legislature for the same cause, and the Conservation
Futures Funding award identified this State funding as the match for the 2019 CFT award of$500,000.
SWM Staff is requesting authorization to submit to King County CFT program for a change in sponsor
for this approved fund award to Forterra, as they are the lead sponsor for this project.
There is no impact to the SWM(304)budget as no matching funding was identified for this award.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 1, 2019
TO: Land Use &Transportation Committee
VIA: Jim Ferrell,Mayor
FROM: EJ Walsh,P.E., Public Works Director
Tony Doucette, Sound Transit Liaisons
SUBJECT: Authorization to Apply for Sound Transit System Access Funds
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
This authorization is to apply for Sound Transit System Access Funds to be used on projects that improve
access to and from Sound Transit's transit facilities. Of the projects proposed in the City's grant funding
application, one is included in the Streets Capital Improvement Plan but is not funded in the
Transportation Improvement plan. The second project is not included currently but will be programmed
if selected to receive grant funding. These projects will be implemented in 2021-2022. Proposed
matching finds of$250,000 and$300,000 will be budgeted out of the annual LIFT and/or BEET funds
dedicated to Transportation Capital Projects. Ongoing operations and maintenance will be funded out of
the streets operations and maintenance budget.
BACKGROUND:
Puget Sound voters approved Sound Transit 3 (ST3) in 2016 to dramatically expand Transit
facilities in the region. ST3 included a$100M System Access Fund to be allocated equally
among Sound Transit's five subareas, where the South King County subarea includes the City of
Federal Way. Each jurisdiction within Sound Transit's service area is allowed two submit up to
two applications for funds. The stated goal of the System Access Fund is to help fund
improvements that make it easier for riders to get to and from Sound Transit's stations and
facilities as well as facilities that Sound Transit serves.
Consistent with the goal of the System Access Fund, Public Works and Community
Development staff reviewed planned Streets Capital and Transportation Improvement Plans and
brainstormed potential new projects to both benefit the citizens of Federal Way and improve
transit system access. Two projects stood out for applicability to the grant goal, strength
compared to the grant evaluation criteria, and quality of the project to benefit downtown Federal
Way.
The first project is the Pedestrian Pathway Improvements to the Federal Way Transit Center and
involves four different pedestrian pathway improvements:
• Connection A will provide a sidewalk on the north side of S 319th PI between the
Gateway Center Plaza shopping center and 23rd Ave S.

Land Use and Transportation Committee
Authorization to Apply for Sound Transit System Access Funds
Page 2
• Connection B will connect the west side of 25th Ave S between Steel Lake Presbyterian
Church and S 322nd St.
• Connection C will provide a pathway between S 314th St and S 316th St on the east side
of the Performing Arts and Events Center.
• Connection D will create a midblock connection between Pete Von Reichbauer Way S
and 21St Ave S.
All four connections will construct a dedicated sidewalk and preserve pedestrian access between
large blocks within the City Center. Connections A and D will require easements while
connections B and C are within existing right-of-way or property that the City owns.
The second project is Signalizing the Intersection at 21St Ave S and S 320th St. This project is
currently identified on in the City's Capital Improvement Plan but is not funded in our
Transportation Improvement Plan. The project will add a traffic signal at 21St Ave S and S 320th
St to provide a safer pedestrian crossing on the west side of the Federal Way Transit Center
station improvements. The signal installation will include accessible pedestrian push buttons,
countdown pedestrian,signal heads,new crosswalks and a pedestrian rcfitge island across S 320th
St.
Staff are requesting authorization to submit applications for both projects to the Sound Transit
System Access Fund and will return to Committee and Council for further updates if selected to
receive funds. Maps of both projects are attached to this memorandum and applications are due
by April 12, 2019.

APRIL 1, 2019 COUNCIL ULTRA FINE ACTION REQUEST
To: Federal Way Transportation Committee &Council Members
From: John Resing
Subject: Request for Council Resolution(s) Concerning Airport Ultra Fine Pollution
Professor Timothy V. Larson reports to the Transportation Committee today that Federal Way
residents are exposed to Sea-Tac Airport ultrafine (less than 100 nm sized) particles as a result of the
measurements made in the on-going MOV-UP ultrafine study.This study is to be completed in 2019.
Citizens request that the Federal Way Council timely act to encourage the UW researchers extend the
study in two respects: 1) make measurements at ground level along the Pacific Coast such that a
comparsion is possible between the expected "clean" Pacific on-shore airflow and the airplane ultrafine
particles found along our streets; and 2) that the MOV-UP study be extended into the vertical dimension
by making measurements in Federal Way from a drone at various altitudes and in those parts of Federal
Way that the social justice provisions of NEPA/SEPA require special analysis and mitigation if
appropriate.Town Square Park where children play is another location for attention.
The Council is requested to also adopt a resolution supporting the UW undertaking the design of a
permanent ultrafine monitoring network as Prof. Larson describes.The permanent ultrafine network
would measure the ultrafine exposure of our residents, and especially our children at schools such as
Nautilus Elementary and the "social justice" emphasis census tracts.This design should be an "ideal"
reference design made without compromising considerations of lower cost that reduces functional
performance.The resolution should call upon the Port of Seattle to fully fund the UW design cost, if the
UW so desires, and fully fund the establishment of such a monitoring network as a part of the in-
progress NEPA/SEPA process and the required abatement/mitigation actions for approval of the
airport's expansion plans.Accurate exposure data is vital for accurate health impact assessment.
In his presentation, Prof. Larson speaks to one proven example of adverse health impacts from airport
nanoparticles in the lung study by Habre, et. al.
Lastly, is a recommendation that the Council retain a permanent, part-time consultant to act as council
Ystaff dedicated to airport matters as has been done by the City of Medina for more than ten years. A
consultant can bring existing expertise to airport matters and avoids the loss of knowledge that occurs
with the loss of staff such as we have seen with Yarden's departure or the City of SeaTac has
experienced with its change in city manager.The airport and its ultrafine impacts upon health will be
with us for a long time and deserves dedicated, knowledgeable staff to guide Federal Way.
I am available to you anytime at 253 252 7574 or 0resing comcast.net. Thank you for your attention to
this topic.
