Foundation or at attempting to preserve Camp Kilworth. He requests the city come up with a plan and
try harder.
Daniel Vann is an employee at a marijuana store and understands that for some, marijuana has a
negative connotation. He agrees marijuana use is not meant for minors. Mr. Vann also reported on
the measures taken at his place of employment to uphold legal requirements.
Julie Buckhanan spoke in favor of allowing marijuana retailers in Federal Way. She feels marijuana
isn't any different from alcohol, which is sold in grocery stores, so she questions the double standard
held between the two. She also feels the City could benefit from the income the stores could bring.
Ken Blevens was born, raised in, and still resides in Federal Way and is disappointed by the amount
of crime taking place in the City. He is disappointed with the nickname "Felony Way" and would like
to see more action taken to help clean up the streets and eliminate crime.
Mason Roberts advocated for marijuana stores in Federal Way. He feels not having stores in Federal
Way, people are forced to travel to other cities or to buy off the black market. If stores were allowed in
the city individuals would stop buying products off the black market would have reputable products
that are held to state standards.

many questions. Mr. Parks shared his discontent that King County doesn't prosecute small amounts
of felony drugs and is curious if the City of Federal Way could prosecute these offences.

who have helped to make the tool library possible. This is the 6th tool library to open in King County.

won't be able to stop kids or adults from getting marijuana. Having retail stores will change the source
to friends and family instead of street dealers.
Jim Stiles questioned whether allowing marijuana stores in Federal Way should be a current priority.
The City has issues like homelessness, crime, and bills to pay to focus on.

Kylie n works as an inventory manager for a cannabis store and shared that she believes the

these stores to allow these people a safe place regardless of their reason for use.
Adam Sheaffer is a manager at a marijuana shop and he shared his perspective that marijuana stores
and the employees are there to follow the spirit of the law. His store is focused on being compliant
and only selling to the appropriate clientele. He also shared his personal story.

mother to enter because she did not have valid identification.

control of Canadian geese and renew their request to implement a city wide moratorium on killing
wildlife of any kind. They requested that the Council study the best practices for non -lethal was to
control the Canadian geese population.

can break families and that shouldn't be worth what revenue comes in.

After providing a brief history of the project, Mr. Doucette indicted the goal of the conversation
tonight was to give Council a voice in this process and indicate which alternatives for the
South Federal Way (SF) location would move forward in the process. Those not selected for
further study will be removed from consideration.
He reviewed maps showing Level 2 Alternatives with six potential stations including three
main rail alignments. He highlighted all six potential stations providing technical, scoping,
stakeholder, and staff feedback for all potential stations.
He noted that the proposed letter lists SF 2 West as was the only station recommended by all
groups and SF 8 & 9 (1-5 at S 356th Street) as South Federal Way Alternative recommended
for further study. The letter also states SF 2 East, SF 3, and SF 4 (A, B, C, and D) are not
recommended for further study.
Deputy Mayor Honda asked if potentially impacted property owners have been contacted. Mr.
Doucette indicated that Sound Transit has reached out to multiple property owners and he is
unaware if there has been any response. Councilmember Johnson suggested the City also
contact owners to make them aware of the potential impacts to their properties and
businesses. He also would like to converse with these owners and understand their sifuations.
Deputy Mayor Honda shared her preferred alternative to stay on 15 which would have less of
an impact on businesses and roads.
Councilmember Koppang outlined what he views as two options for Federal Way: SF 8 and 9
would result in a commuter station while SF 2 has the potential for redevelopment in the city
which would be a long term benefit.
Councilmember Moore shared his understanding that people expect the Council to be
visionary leaders and long term transit development is a good opportunity. Councilmember
Assefa-Dawson indicated her support for sending the three alternatives, but not listing a
preferred.
Public Works Director EJ Walsh responded noting it is advantageous to state a preference at
this point in the process rather than attempting to maneuver at a later date.
Community Development Director Brian Davis reiterated this is a legacy decision on what the
city and area will be in 50 years. There is a decision and opportunity before Council at this
time to take advantage of the Transit Oriented Development that will potentially displace
current businesses in order to redevelop the city and bring in new businesses.
COUNCILMEMBER KOPPANG MOVED TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED LETTER TO THE
SOUND TRANSIT BOARD REGARDING THE TACOMA DOME LINK EXTENSION STATION AND
ALIGNMENT LOCATIONS FOR FURTHER STUDY IN THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
STATEMENT; COUNCILMEMBER DUCLOS SECOND.
Councilmember Tran outlined his understanding of SF2 W and S F8 and 9 having the least
amount of impact both residentially and commercially. He agrees with Mr. Davis that SF 2 has
the most potential for redevelopment and as such he believes SF 2 is the preferred option.
Councilmember Assefa-Dawson questioned if forwarding the three options will lessen the
impact of the letter. Councilmember Koppang believes there is a clear alternative in providing
the best opportunity for the future.

c. Discussion regarding Advisory Vote on Marijuana Stores in Federal Way
City Attorney Ryan Call provided a staff report on the process of an advisory vote; not on the
merits. An advisory vote took place on November 2015 where in 61.38% of 15,486 ballots
returned indicated that Federal Way City Council should not enact an ordinance allowing
marijuana -related businesses within the city. He indicated it was a somewhat small turnout,
but not a -typical for an off-year election.
Mr. Call outlined the anticipated timeline needed if Council moves forward and directs staff to
prepare a ballot item for the general election on November 5, 2019.
Mr. Call also indicated that election costs are split among the cities based on the number of
registered voters on the day of the election. The average cost for the entire election typically
exceeds $200,000. Adding an advisory vote would increase the cost somewhere between $5
and $20,000 on a general election ballot.
Accounting Manager Chase Donnelly reviewed Revised Code of Washington (RCW)
69.50.540(2)(g)(i) regarding marijuana excise tax distribution from the state. The overview
indicated that $4.2 million would be distributed to the cities on a per capita basis with $4.5
million to cities and unincorporated areas based on sales. The remainder is distributed to
counties.
Mr. Donnelly overviewed the projected revenues including sales tax (0.85%) and distribution
from the State (projected by State as $100,000) as follows:
• Gross sale of $1 million = $108,500
• Gross sale of $10 million - $185,000
He overviewed a table with neighboring cities and their revenue from 2018 and estimated
2019 distribution.
Councilmembers asked various questions including if Federal Way participation in marijuana
sales would reduce the revenue to neighboring jurisdictions; if stores have had a negative
impact on nearby businesses; and if illegal activity has increased in other jurisdictions as a
result of marijuana sale.
Mr. Donnelly clarified that the revenue brought in through the Marijuana Excise Tax does not
have any restrictions for future expenditures.
Councilmembers expressed their desire to know if the consensus of the citizens has changed
since the previous advisory vote.

d. Department of Commerce — Contract Amendments
Community Services Manager Sarah Bridgeford indicated the contracts were funded by the
Washington State Legislature to provide emergency shelter for children. Following a
competitive process, Council allocated the funds at $60,000 to the Multi -Service Center (MSC)
for immediate shelter options and $40,000 for FUSION predevelopment costs to establish
shelter for families in Federal Way.
FUSION has completed a feasibility study and anticipates spending less than previously
anticipated. Conversely, MSC has incurred costs exceeding the $60,000 for hotel/motel
vouchers for families.
Ms. Bridgeford recommended amending both agreements based on FUSION's final
expenditures allowing the MSC to use the remaining funds not utilized by FUSION.
DEPUTY MAYOR HONDA MOVED TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO AMEND THE FUSION CONTRACT
AND THE MSC MOTEL VOUCHERS CONTRACT TO ALLOCATE ANY MONEY UNUSED BY
