CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 12, 2019
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy J. Hwang, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Public Safety Testing (PST)—Amendment#3 —Total Cost of
Compensation Increase
Financial Impacts:
Amendment#3 is being submitted to request a total cost increase of$2,560.00. The funding
source will come from the existing Federal Way Police Department budget.
Background Information:
In 2017, FWPD contracted with PST to provide a Lieutenant Assessment Center testing
process to establish a list of qualified lieutenant candidates for promotion. The cost for the
Assessment Center process was paid for using funds set aside for the Subscriber Agreement.
This depleted a large percentage of the available funds.
In December 2017, we no longer had sufficient funds to continue paying PST for their
services. We submitted a contract Amendment to increase the total cost of compensation
from $22,500 to $37,500, which was approved.
In December 2018, we initiated the process to contract with PST for another Lieutenant
Assessment Center testing process to be conducted in mid-2019, after being informed of
anticipated retirements during the 2019 calendar year.
Amendment 42 requested the total cost of compensation be increased to$47,500 to cover the
2019 Lieutenant Assessment Center testing process and the remainder of the$7,500 annual
recruitment and testing costs for 2019.
Amendment #3 requests the total cost of compensation be increased to $50,060 (an
additional $2,560) to cover the administrative costs of the 2019 Lieutenant Assessment
Center testing process due to the large pool of candidates, the PST employees' travel and
housing expenses,and to cover the remainder of the annual recruitment and testing costs for
2019. We are due to negotiate for a new agreement in 2020.
The services provided by PST are excellent and no other vendor meets our recruitment and
candidate testing requirements.

SUBJECT: Brook Lake Center Connector—Project Acceptance
Financial Impacts:
The cost to the City for the Brook Lake Center Connector 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, this item is 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.
PROJECT FINAL EXPENDITURES:
Design $50,000.00
Construction $281,231.50
Construction Management $10,000.00
Total Project Costs $341,231.50
AVAILABLE FUNDING:
SWM CIP Funds $232,872.00
SWM Fund 304 Transfer $136,482.65
(Unallocated)
Total Available Funding $369,354.65
Background Information:
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. The new connection
ends at the northern end of Brook Lake at the Brook Lake Overlook, connecting the Brook Lake Center to
the existing Boardwalk Trail, allowing additional access to facilities for students and the 40+volunteers
that sponsor education stations. Improved logistic efficiency during the release event will now allow
SWM to sustain the event and provide all City residents another access point to the Park.

Brook Lake Center Connector—Project Acceptance
Page 2
Prior to release of retainage on a Public Works construction project, the City Council must accept the
work as complete to meet State Department of Revenue and State Department of Labor and Industries
requirements. The Brook Lake Center Connector Project constructed by Talakai Construction, LLC is
complete. The final construction contract amount is $281,231.50. This is $28,123.15 below the
$309,354.65 (including contingency)budget that was approved by the City Council on January 15, 2017.
Financial Impacts:
This is the acceptance of construction as complete, and therefore no additional funds are
proposed to be spent as part of this agenda item.

SUBJECT: Citywide Variable Lane Use Control—85%Design Report and Authorization to Bid
Financial Impacts:
The cost to the City for the Citywide Variable Lane Use Control project was included within the
approved budget under the Public Works Department, capital project (306, Project 213). In
accordance with the approved budget, this item is funded by a grant from FHWA of$601,890

and adjusted as required during the budget process.
Background Informat_i_on:
Under of FHWA's Accelerated Innovation Deployment(AID)program, the City applied for and
received a grant to expand utilization of variable lane use control signs to optimize the efficiency
of intersections where the ideal lane configuration and, in some cases, associated signal phasing
may vary by time of day.
There were four locations selected for this application:
Enchanted Parkway S and S 348t" Street, which will vary the use of the northbound outside
through lane to be a second right-turn lane in the morning peak, a through-only lane in the
evening peak, and allow both movements other items of day.
S324 th Street at Pacific Highway South, which will vary the use of the westbound outside left-
turn lane to allow through movements on weekends and nights.
11th Place S at S 320th Street, which will vary the use of the northbound outside lane to allow left
turns during the evening peak hour.
S 336th Street at 1St Way S, which will vary the use of the through lane to allow left turns during
the evening peak hour.
The following provides a brief synopsis of the progress on this project to date. Currently, the

SUBJECT• Citywide Adaptive Traffic Signal Control-ITS Improvements—Phase 1 &2 and Phase 3—
Authorization to Award Bid&Authorization to Transfer Funds to the Project
Financial Impacts:
The Citywide Adaptive Traffic Signal Control —ITS Improvements- Phase 1 & 2 and Phase 3 project is
funded in the Capital Improvement budget (Project 202 &203 & Project 216). In accordance, with the
approved budget, Project 202 & 203 is funded with $1.76 million from federal grants and $240,000 of
City Utility Tax funds for match and Project 216 is funded with $680,000 from federal grants (Puget
Sound Regional Council) and $120,000 from Capital Transportation Funding(REET). This project is one
of the three phases of the project (Traffic Control Center, System hardware/s6ftware and Detection). The
system operational costs will be paid out of Street Fund(Fund 101).
We are requesting to transfer$75,000 from the Traffic Safety Fund(Fund 112)and$800,000 from Traffic
Impact Fees to the subject project.
Background Information:
The adaptive traffic control system is a system that monitors traffic conditions in real time and modifies
the signal timing every signal cycle. This reduces delays and stops,thus improving both air quality and
safety. The City Council previously authorized bidding of the project at the August 14,2018 City
Council meeting. The other two phases of the project are:
1. Procurement and installation of the System Hardware and Software
2. Construction and Fit Out of the Traffic Control Center.
A Request for Bids was solicited on October 4,2019 and bids were opened on October 25, 2019 for the
project. Six(6)bids were received for the project.The lowest responsive,responsible bidder is Northeast
Electric, LLC with a total base bid of$1,649,980.
AVAILABLE FUNDING(for all three phases of the proje ):
Project 202 (Phase 1 &2) $2,000,000
Project 216 (Phase 3) $800,000
Transfer from 112 Fund $75,000

PROJECT ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES:
The following is a breakdown of the estimated total project costs based on the low bid:
Citywide Adaptive Traffic Signal Control-ITS $1,649,980
Improvements—Phase 1 &2 and Phase 3
Construction Contingency $80,000
Traffic Control Center(Construction and $125,000
Contingency)
Transpo Group (Design & Construction Engineering $458,242

City Staff $80,000
Western Systems (Detection Desi $17,000
Western Systems Software Desi $1,175,917
King Count (Inspection and City Su ort) $60,000
WSDOT $20,000
Total Project Costs $3,666,139
The bids received were higher than anticipated given several factors. First, the project is
implementing eleven more intersections than the "minimum" number required by the grant.
Second, the costs for electrical construction work have increased upwards of 25% since the
project was initially started due to increases in material and labor costs. Given the bids were
relatively close, it is unlikely rebidding the project would result in lower costs. Project scope
could be reduced, however, future implementation of the removed scope would have a higher
cost in the future.
Over $1,700,000 has been collected in Traffic Impact Fees over the past three years. As the
purpose of traffic impact fees is to offset development impacts by funding traffic system
improvements and mitigate increased traffic, the Adaptive Signal Control project is an
appropriate use of these funds.
Staff recommends transferring funds of$75,000 from the Traffic Safety Fund and $800,000 from
Traffic Impact Fees to the Project. Staff also recommends awarding the Citywide Adaptive
Traffic Signal Control-ITS Improvements-Phase 1 & 2 and Phase 3 to Northeast Electric, LLC the
lowest responsive, responsible bidder, in the amount of$1,649,980 and approve a contingency of
$80,000 for a total of$1,729,980 and authorize the Mayor to execute the contract.

SUBJECT: Transportation Demand Management Implementation Agreement with WSDOT
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
This agreement with the Washington State Department of Transportation(WSDOT)would allow the
State to provide funding to the City for implementing the mandated Commute Trip Reduction(CTR)
programs.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Washington State Department of Transportation(WSDOT)provides funding to the City for
developing and implementing the Commute Trip Reduction(CTR)programs as required by State law.
The City's current Transportation Demand Management(TDM)agreement with WSDOT has expired and
a new agreement is required to receive funding.
The TDM program requires a four-year agreement with WSDOT from July 1, 2019 through
June 30,20123. However,only the first two years from July 1, 2019 through June 30,2021 are funded.
The remaining two years are subjected to funds appropriation by the Washington State Legislature, once
appropriated,the agreement will be amended.The purpose of the agreement is to allow the State to
reimburse the City its proportionate share of the technical assistance funding. The work performed under
this agreement is described in the agreement in section Scope of Work and Budget.
The agreement capped funding allocation to the City at$38,869.00 for the July 1,2019 through June 30,
2021 biennium and an additional$38,869.00 for the July 1,2021 through June 30,2023 biennium. As in
the past, due to workload and expertise,the City will continue to use the funding allocation from WSDOT
to contract with King County for their CTR support services. Staff will present this contract to the LUTC
and Council committee as a separate agenda item.

TO: City Council
VIA: Jim Ferrell,Mayor
FROM: EJ Walsh,P-E., Director of Public Works&/I(/—
Sarady Long, Senior Transportation Planning Engineer
SUBJECT: Commute Trip Reduction(CTR)Program Implementation Agreement with King County
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The agreement with King County would be fully funded by the state technical assistance grant. For the
July 1,2019 through June 30, 2021 biennium,the City will receive$38,869.00 in technical assistance
funding from the State.The agreement with King County is estimated at$34,668.00.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Washington State's Commute Trip Reduction(CTR)Law requires the City to develop plans and
programs to reduce Single Occupant Vehicle and Vehicle Miles Traveled commuting trips.The law only
applies to major employers with one hundred(100) or more full-time employees scheduled who arrive at
a single worksite between 6:00 am to 9:00 am.
Over the last 20 years,the City has contracted with King County for their CTR support services to
implement the CTR program. The existing agreement with King County has expired and staff proposes
to enter into a new,two-year Professional Services Agreement. The work to be performed under this
agreement is described in the attached Exhibit A- Scope of Work.
Staff believes this is a cost-effective way to implement the mandated CTR program,as most cities have a
half-time to full-time CTR coordinator.

Rick Perez,P.E.,City Trac Engineer
SUBJECT: City Center Access Phase I Environmental Process Update—Adoption of a Preferred
Alternative
Financial Impacts:
The City Center Access Phase I Environmental Process Update is funded under the Capital Project budget
in the amount of$2.422 million in the combined 2019 and 2020 budgets through REET, Traffic Impact
Fees and 2016 General Funds.
Back round Information:
The City Center Access Phase I Environment Process was restarted in 2017 to address the congestion in
the City Center as a result of continued growth. Anticipated future growth and development in the City
Center are expected to worsen the existing strain, resulting in unacceptable levels of delays even with the
expansion of alternative transportation modes such as mass transit. The project team, consisting of various
partners including Federal Highway Administration(FHWA),Washington State Department of
Transportation(WSDOT), Sound Transit,Puget Sound Regional Council(PSRC),King County-Roads,
King County Metro Transit,Pierce Transit,Muckleshoot Tribe, Snoqualmie Tribe, South King Fire
Department, and Federal Way Police, developed the project purpose and need by engaging the
community and seeking input. The goal of the project is to improve quality of life and City's economic
vitality by improving mobility for all modes,maintaining or improving access to and from the City Center
and providing opportunities for traffic to travel around rather than through the city core.The project team
also engaged the public via neighborhood meetings, open houses(in-person and online),business
meetings, and tabling events for over two years, seeking public input throughout the entire process.
The project team analyzed if local improvements could help meet the project goals as required by
WSDOT policy. It was concluded that local improvements would not alleviate the congestion and meet
the project goals, which led to looking at interchange modifications at both S3 312'Street, S. 320'Street,
and S 324'Street. Ultimately,the interchange modification at S. 312'1i Street was eliminated as a result
of conflict with the Sound Transit Federal Way Link Light Rail extension, lack of public support, and cost
of the improvements.
The project team studied ten different variations of S. 320 'Street and S 324t'Street interchange
modifications. After technical review, soliciting and receiving public input,receiving input from various
technical stakeholders(WSDOT,PSRC,Transit Agencies, etc.)the S. 3201' Street and S. 324a' Street
interchange modification with grade separated ramps with roundabouts scored the highest rating
among all ten alternatives. Therefore, the project team and City staff recommend the S.3201i
Street and S. 324h Street interchange modification with grade separated ramps with roundabouts.

TO: LUTC Chair,Mark Koppang
FROM: Brian Davis, Community Development Director "
Robert"Doc"Hansen,Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Request to Apply for State E2SHB 1923 Funds
I. Introduction
In the last State legislative session,the Senate and House of Representatives passed a bill authorizing the
State's Department of Commerce to distribute five million dollars($5,000,000)to cities in the State
planning under the Growth Management Plan to either adopt various land use actions or a Housing
Action Plan, actions of which are designed to enhance residential building capacity.
A grant in the amount of$100,000 was awarded by the Department of Commerce to the City of Federal
Way to develop a Housing Action Plan, and create a model for determining regional housing need and
distribution.
II. Request
Amongst a number of activities that are eligible for funding under this bill include researching and
developing goals and policies for creation of an active Housing Action Plan. The City is responsible for
review and update of its current Comprehensive Plan in 2023. One of the elements of the Comprehensive
Plan required by the Growth Management Act includes a Housing Element. The activities and policies
adopted by this effort can, and will,be used to develop this required element. The staff within the
Department of Community Development,under direction from Council applied for, and received a grant
of approximately$100,000,monies of which will go to the City for:
• Administration of the grant,
• Project Housing needs within the City and the South King County region,
• Evaluate the City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and its policies addressing City's housing
needs
• Allocation of approximately$20,000 towards the development of a South King County
distribution model with five other jurisdictions to identify specific housing needs within subareas
of the region, and
• Adoption of a plan agreed upon by City Council.
The Mayor recommends approval for the acceptance of the grant awarded by the DOC for the completion
of a Housing Action Plan.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 4,2019
TO: Land Use&Transportation Committee
VIA: Jim Ferrell,Mayor
E.J. Walsh,P.E.,Public Works Director
FROM: John Cole,Capital Engineer Llp;d&te
SUBJECT: Citywide Greenway Plaand Request to re-bid
Financial Impacts:
This project was included and is projected to be completed within the approved budget under capital
project #220. In accordance with the approved budget this project is funded by fuel tax revenue. Upon
completion of this project, ongoing costs associated with operations and maintenance will be performed
and funded through streets maintenance. Funding requirements for operations and maintenance of
infrastructure is reviewed and adjusted as required during the budget process.
Background Information:
This project will install wayfinding signs and markings throughout the City directed at bicyclists, but
which can also be used by pedestrians. As identified in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan which
was adopted by City Council in 2012, the intent of the greenway concept is to encourage people who are
interested in bicycling and walking for transportation, but intimidated by the roadway environment. It is
estimated that 55% of Federal Way residents fall into this category. By addressing roadway conflicts,
designating routes utilizing low-volume, low-speed streets, and making minor roadway improvements, it
is hoped that the community will come to utilize these routes and feel safe in doing so. This project
expands the Twin Lakes Greenway,installed in 2014,throughout the City.
The project was advertised for bids on October 4 and October 11 in both the Daily Journal of Commerce
and the Federal Way Mirror. Bids were due on October 18, 2019. No bids were received despite five
companies registering as bidders on Builders Exchange of Washington, the on-line plan center the City
uses. City staff also conducted outreach to companies that have performed this type of work in the past,
as this was a somewhat unique work package.
Staff recommends removing the sign installation work from the bid package and have King County install
the signs. Staff also recommends including the planned 2019 pavement marking work that King County
was not able to complete as Schedule B as well as the anticipated 2020 pavement marking work as
Schedule C. Including this pavement marking work in addition to the pavement marking work for the
Citywide Greenway Plan will provide a larger work package that may be more attractive to bidders.
Staff anticipates bidding this revised project in early 2020. Construction is anticipated to start in Spring
2020 with an estimated substantial completion date in Summer 2020.

LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
STAFF REAPORT
DATE: November 5,2019
TO: LUTC Chair,Mark Koppang
FROM:
Brian Davis, Community Development Director
Robert"Doc"Hansen,Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Request to Accept Petition for Annexation
I. Financial Impact
The approval of the petition presented will not cost the City any additional funds. If the City decides to
annex the property described in the report,the City will be obligated to provide public services to the
annexed area,and it will receive tax benefits from the developed or undeveloped land.More detailed
analysis of cost to the City will be provided in further reports should the City decide to review the potential
submittal of petition of property owners owning 60 percent the value of the land proposed to be annexed.
II. Background
On September 26, 2019,the City received a"Notice of Intent to Annex"petition from William and Patti
Pruett(Exhibit A). The Notice of Intent for Annexation constitutes the 10 percent of land value of the
proposed annexation,that which is necessary to request annexation through the petition method for
annexation under RCW 35A.14.120. The property proposed for annexation is located north and adjacent to
3201 Street,west and adjacent to 32nd Avenue South, east of 1-5, and south of 316` Street(Exhibits B and
Q. The property is just over 21 acres. A previous owner,Mr. Jackson, also filed a Notice of Intent to Annex
these parcels on September 8,2000. Council accepted the petition but it was withdrawn.
Toyer Strategic Consulting on behalf of William Pruett, is the agent for the proposal indicating that"site-
specific development applications may be filed in the future." Staff conducted a Design Review Committee
(DRC)meeting for the Pape Group, a company that sells and services Kenworth vehicles,which is
interested in developing the property, if annexed.The land has been given a pre-annexation designation of
"Community Business"within the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP), and zoning within the
Federal Way Revised Code(FWRC). The company requested the DRC to begin application if, and when,
the annexation is approved.

III. Property Information
The total area proposed for annexation is 21.44 acres.Following is a breakdown oftax parcelnumbers andsizes
of each parcelinthe annexation area.
TaxParcelNumber Size(in acres)
092104 9028 5.26
092104 9139 9.15
092104 9316 0.36

092104 9160 1.96
092104 9206 0.34
21.44 acres
Access to the proposed annexation area is from South 3201h Street,South 316" Street,and 32nd Avenue South.
South 320"and 316th Streets are improved rights-of-way. Thirty-second Avenue South borders the annexation
area on the east. It is acurrently unimproved public right-of-way with varying width(from 60 feet onthe northto
30 feet onthesouth).
The property is currently pre-designated as "Community Business" in the FWCP.FWRC 1.35.020(b),
states, "the area annexed to the city shall retain the comprehensive plan classification."Therefore, if
annexed,the property would be zoned"Community Business."
Existing uses in the proposed annexation areas are shown on Exhibit C and described as follows:
Name of Property Owner Parcel Number Acres Land Use
William&Patti Pruett Trust A. 092104 9028 5.26 Single Family House
Randgroup,LLC B. 092104 9139 9.15 Vacant

Approximately nine acres adjacent to I-5 in the southwestern portion of the site had previously been cleared and
graded without required county andstatepermits in 2000. A portion of the disturbed area included a wetland
and slopes. This violation has been resolved; however,the proposed annexation area has steep slopes and
erosion hazards located along the westerly portion ofthe property adjacent to 1-5. This portion of the property
also contains a very large wetland,which is located along the base of the slopes adjacent to 1-5,based on King
County records. A wetland study will be required of any applicant proposing development on the property.

IV. Petition Annexation Process
State law provides six different annexation methods. As with previous City annexations,the subject
annexation process will utilize the direct petition method,as outlined below:
(1) The applicant meets with City Officials and staffto discuss the annexation process and the boundaries of
the area to be annexed.
(2) The first petition called theNoticeoflntentiontoPetitionforAnnexation(10%petition level)is prepared and
circulated by the applicant among all affected property owners, and the signatures on the petition are
validated.
(3) The City Council holds ameeting and decides whether to accept the proposed annexation,and ifso,under
what conditions.Adecision"to accept"the annexation proposal does not committhe Council to ultimately
approve the annexation.It only means that the Council will allow the proposal to proceed to the 60%
petition process. This is the current point in the process.
(4) Ifthe City Council accepts the Notice ofIntention,the 60%petition is prepared for the applicant to circulate
for signatures in the proposed annexation area.
(5) After the signatures on the 60%petition are validated,and if the City Council wishes to entertain the
petition,a City Council public hearing on the petition is scheduled.
(6) Afterthepublichearing,staffsubmitstheNoticeoflntentiontoAnnex,andotherrequiredinformation,to
the King County Boundary Review Board(BRB).TheBRB holds apublic meeting to decide ifthe
annexation should be approved.
(7) The City's annexation ordinance is written to become effective upon approval bythe Boundary Review Board,
with the effective date fixed in the ordinance.
V. Action Required
Pursuant to state law,the City Council must decide whether to accept the 10%petition for annexation;and if
so,under what conditions.Council members must act on the following specific decision points at the Council
meeting. Corresponding staff comments are provided.
Whether or not the City will accept, reject, or geographically modify the annexation area
boundaries as proposed.
The City would accept the annexation as indicated in the Notice of Intent to Annex.
Whether the City will require the simultaneous adoption of interim or initial comprehensive plan and
zoning map designation.
LUTC Staff Report November 4,2019
Request to Accept Petition for Annexation Page 3 of 4
Pre-annexation comprehensive plan and zoning designations for the subject property was_established in
2004 as part of the City's annual update to the comprehensive plan. Pursuant to state law, such designations
must be established prior to or concurrent with final annexation.
Whether the City will require the assumption of all or any portion of existing city indebtedness by the
area to be annexed.
As with previous annexations, staff recommends that annexed properties be required to assume their
proportionate share of City indebtedness. This share will be determined if the petition is accepted and
before the 60%petition is accepted.
VI. Recommendation
The Mayor recommends the following:
1) That the City Council accept the 10%petition and authorize circulation of the formal(60%)
annexation petition;
2) That the City Council require assumption of the property's proportionate share of the City's
outstanding bonded indebtedness.

October XX, 2019
Administrator Steve Dickson
Federal Aviation Administration
U.S. Department of Transportation
800 Independence Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20591
Dear Administrator Dickson,
We are writing to share our priorities for implementation of the Subtitle D—Airport Noise and
Environmental Streamlining section of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act
of 2018. We look forward to your swift and successful completion of these provisions.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport(Sea-Tac) is the 8th busiest airport in the country in terms of
passenger volumes and one of the fastest growing–increasing from approximately 31 million travelers
served in 2010 to almost 50 million last year.The airport plays a vital role in the region's ongoing
economic vitality, but this growth is straining the capacity of our airport and having significant impacts
on our communities. For this reason, the Port of Seattle (which owns and operates Sea-Tac) and the six
cities immediately surrounding the airport have identified federal policies, regulations and programs we
believe are essential to help address local community concerns.
In particular, we have looked at the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act's noise provisions as a way to
substantively move forward on noise abatement and mitigation.As existing law with definitive deadlines
for action,these items provide the most near-term opportunities for progress.While all of the Subtitle
D noise provisions are important,we have identified three top priorities–1)the provisions related to
evaluation of the 65 DNL noise standard (sections 173, 187 and 188),2)the study of the impact of
overflight noise on human health (section 189),and 3)the proposed environmental mitigation pilot
program(section 190).
The timely and effective execution of these provisions are well aligned with community concerns and
have the potential for substantive benefit to our region. More specifically:
1. In terms of the 65 DNL,we know that the FAA has completed its comprehensive and detailed
survey of noise annoyance levels. We request that you make available the results of this survey
as soon as possible. We are similarly interested in your responses to the FAA bill provisions
related to alternative metrics and revised land use compatibility guidelines. We request the
release of these guidelines as soon as possible as well. We are hopeful that the combined
findings of these studies will provide improved noise mitigation best practices to address the
noise impacts affecting our communities.
2. As one of the metropolitan areas called out in the legislation for focus, we are obviously
particularly interested in the scope, methodology and findings of the study of health and
economic impacts of overflight noise.We want to ensure that results of the study align as
closely as possible to the Congressional intent behind this FAA bill provision. In addition to
urging swift action on this provision,we would like to be engaged with the FAA and the
research university carrying out this work throughout the process.
3. Finally, our region is known for both its innovation and commitment to sustainability, and so we
are very excited about the potential for a pilot program that would allow us to experiment with
new approaches to reducing or mitigating aviation impacts on noise, air quality, or water
quality. We certainly intend to apply for this funding, but also offer our willingness to provide
input to the design and structure of the grant program.
There is one additional topic we would like to pursue further with your staff.We are very interested in
discussing whether residential buildings that have received FAA and airport funded noise insulation
packages might be eligible for secondary investment.We appreciate restrictions on multiple grants for
the same projects, but believe that there are situations in which the insulation has"failed" which would
necessitate and justify additional investment.We would appreciate the opportunity to meet and discuss
this issue with you.
We will be in touch with your staff on next steps. In the meantime, do not hesitate to contact Eric
Schinfeld, Senior Manager of Federal Government Relations for the Port of Seattle, at 206.787.5031 or
scliinfeld.e@partseattle.org. We deeply appreciate your partnership in ensuring that aviation is as clean,
quiet and environmentally sustainable as possible.

The Honorable Rick Larsen
United States House of Representatives
Dear Senator Murray, Senator Cantwell, Representative Smith, Representative Smith and Representative
Larsen,
We are pleased to write to share our collectively developed near-term priorities for addressing
airplane noise and emissions through implementation of existing law and passage of relevant
legislation. We look forward to working with you and your staff toward swift and successful completion
of these provisions.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport(Sea-Tac) is the 8th busiest airport in the country in terms of
passenger volumes and one of the fastest growing—increasing from approximately 31 million travelers
served in 2010 to almost 50 million last year.The airport plays a vital role in the region's ongoing
economic vitality, but this growth is straining the capacity of our airport and having significant impacts
on our communities. For this reason,the Port and the six cities immediately surrounding the airport
have identified federal policies, regulations and programs that we believe are essential to help address
local community concerns.
Specifically,we have looked at two areas of focus: 1)implementation of provisions of the 2018
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act,and 2) passage of legislation that helps
address ongoing issues of concern:
FAA Reauthorization Provisions
While all of the Subtitle D noise provisions are important, we have identified three top priorities—1)the
provisions related to evaluation of the 65 DNL noise standard (sections 173, 187 and 188), 2)the study
of the impact of overflight noise on human health (section 189), and 3)the proposed environmental
mitigation pilot program (section 190).The timely and effective execution of these provisions can help
address community concerns and have the potential for substantive benefit to our region. In particular:
1. In terms of the 65 DNL,we know that the FAA has completed its comprehensive and detailed
survey of noise annoyance levels but has yet to release those findings.We also know they are
examining alternative noise metrics and revised land use compatibility guidelines. We urge you
to encourage the FAA to release these studies and guidelines as soon as possible.The combined
findings will hopefully provide improved noise mitigation best practices to address the noise
impacts affecting our communities.
2. As one of the metropolitan areas called out in the legislation for focus, we are obviously
particularly interested in the scope, methodology and findings of the study of health and
economic impacts of overflight noise.We want to ensure that results of the study align as
closely as possible to the Congressional intent behind this FAA bill provision. We urge you to
pressure the FAA to take swift action on this provision and to express our interest in being
engaged with the FAA and the research university carrying out this work throughout the
process.
3. Finally, our region is known for both its innovation and commitment to sustainability, and so we
are very excited about the potential for a pilot program that would allow us to experiment with
new approaches to reducing or mitigating aviation impacts on noise, air quality,and water
quality. We certainly intend to apply for this funding and offer our willingness to provide input
to the design and structure of the grant program. We urge you to ensure sufficient
appropriations for this provision. Let us know how we can assist in these efforts.
New Legislation
There are also pieces of legislation that we believe would help move our priorities forward and we look
forward to working with you toward their passage.These include:
1. Representative Smith's Protecting Airport Communities from Particle Emissions Act, which
would direct the FAA to report on ultrafine particles and their health impacts for communities
around the 20 largest U.S. airports.The study would also analyze the potential impacts of
mitigation options, emissions reductions, and the increased use of aviation biofuels.
2. Representative Lynch's Air Traffic Noise and Pollution Expert Consensus Act,which would direct
the FAA to enter into appropriate arrangements with the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine to provide for a report on the health impacts of air traffic noise and
pollution.
3. A new piece of legislation that would allow for secondary noise mitigation investments in
previously insulated homes, in specific situations where those noise reduction packages failed or
were flawed in some way.
4. Other additional federal investments and policies that expedite the creation and
implementation of alternatives to commercial airplane travel—from Urban Air Mobility
technology to high speed surface mass transportation options.
We have one additional request that is unrelated to the 2018 FAA Reauthorization or legislation.A large
group of your colleagues recently sent a letter'to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO)
asking for a study of how the FAA measures, mitigates and engages the public on aircraft noise related
to so-called "metroplexes." We believe that it would be valuable to have similar questions answered
related to large "single site" airports as well, and so we would love to work with your offices to generate
a companion request to the GAO.

FROM: Theresa Thurlow, P.E., Surface Water Division Manager �► `
Proposed ORDINANCE relating to the assessment of Surface and Stormwater Utility
SUBJECT: System Development Charges; and adding a new chapter to Title 19 FWRC.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
To date, the City has not assessed a Surface Water Utility System Development Charge (SDC)
and the cost associated with system capacity has been born by the rate payers. The purpose of an
SDC is to share the cost of public facility improvements that are reasonably related to the service
demands and needs of new development and re-development. The proposed Ordinance will
distribute the costs associated with expansion of, and a growing demand on, the City's
stormwater system by assessing a fee on new development or re-development prior to connection
of their private stormwater infrastructure to the City's stormwater system. All charges collected
under this assessment will be deposited into the Surface Water Utility revenue fund.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION;
The City is proposing a text amendment to Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) Title 19,
Division III, Mitigation and Fees, relating to the collection of system development charges for
connecting to the City's stormwater conveyance system.
During the financial analysis of the Surface and Stormwater Utility's rate and rate structure, the
City's Consultant recommended the City assess a system development charge on development
that creates additional demands and needs for public facilities. The proposed text amendment to
FWRC Title 19 would add the requirement for an SDC to be assessed when new development or
re-development increases the total impervious surface area of a site.
The City's stormwater drainage system is a series of catch basins, pipes, ponds, and vaults. The
size and type of this infrastructure is based on the amount of runoff calculated at the time of
development. If there is a change in the amount of rainfall runoff into the public drainage system
as a result of new or altered impervious surfaces, the public system may not be adequate to
handle the new demands. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to distribute the costs
associated with expansion of, and a growing demand on, the City's stormwater system by
assessing a fee on new development or re-development prior to connection of their private
stormwater infrastructure to the City's stormwater system. The SDC shall be paid prior to
building permit, land use approval, short subdivision or subdivision approval, or any other permit

allowing development within the City. The proposed amendment is planned to be assessed on
development within the City of Federal Way, beginning in 2020.
SDCs shall be included within the 2020 City of Federal Way Fee Schedule and will be calculated
as a dollar amount per Equivalent Service Unit(ESU). For the purposes of assessing an SDC,
ESUS will based on the total increase in impervious surface area included within the City
Approved Development Plans. The annual SDC rate shall be included within the 2020 City of
Federal Way Fee Schedule. The SDC for 2020 shall be $981.00 per ESU. The SDC will be
reviewed each year and any changes in the SDC rate shall be published in the City of Federal
Way Fee Schedule. All development, which includes redevelopment, in the city that increases
impervious surfaces will be assessed an SDC.

System Development Charge."
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Federal Way, Washington, relating
to the assessment of Surface and Stormwater Utility System
Development Charges; and adding a new chapter to Title 19 FWRC.
WHEREAS, the City recognizes the need to periodically modify Title 19 of the Federal
Way Revised Code ("FWRC"), "Zoning and Development Code," in order to conform to state
and federal law, codify administrative practices, clarify and update zoning regulations as deemed
necessary, and improve the efficiency of the regulations and the development review process;
and
WHEREAS, this ordinance, containing amendments to development regulations and the
text of Title 19 FWRC, has complied with Process VI review, Chapter 19.80 FWRC, pursuant to
Chapter 19.35 FWRC; and
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest for the City Council to adopt a new Chapter that
establishes development regulations for collection of Surface and Stormwater System
Development Charges on development within the City of Federal Way that creates additional
demand and need for changes to the stormwater utility infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the Surface Storm Water Utility conducted a rate study (on file with the
Federal Way Public Works Department) that incorporated an analysis regarding the need for a
Surface and Stormwater System Development Charge; and
WHEREAS, the study determined that the City's stormwater drainage system is a series
of catch basins, pipes, ponds, and vaults that are impacted by development that increases
impervious surface area or changes pervious surface areas. These changes result in increased
rainfall runoff that creates additional demand and need on the City's stormwater drainage
system; and
Ordinance No. 19- Page I of 11
WHEREAS, the rate study recommended the implementation of a Surface and
Stormwater System Development Charge; and
WHEREAS, the Surface and Stormwater System Development Charge is for the purpose
of recovering a fair share of the costs of additional demand; and
WHEREAS, without the System Development Charge, the Surface and Stormwater
Utility rate payers would unfairly bear the burden of additional demand on the drainage system
as a result of development; and
WHEREAS, RCW 35.92.025 authorizes cities to assess charges to property owners
seeking to connect to the City's sewerage system; and
WHEREAS, under Chapter 35.67 RCW, the definition of systems of sewerage includes
surface and stormwater facilities; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of a System Development Charge is to share the cost of public
facility improvements that are reasonably related to the service demands and needs of new
development; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission conducted a public workshop on these code
amendments on October 2, 2019, and
WHEREAS, the Land Use & Transportation Committee of the City Council of the City
of Federal Way conducted a study session on these code amendments on November 4, 2019; and
WHEREAS, this non-project action has been determined to be SEPA exempt under
WAC 197-11-800(19) as a procedural action that contains no substantive changes respecting the
use or modification of the environment; and
Ordinance No. 19- Page 2 of 11
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission properly conducted a duly noticed public hearing
on these code amendments on October 16, 2019, and continued on October 30, 2019 and
forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the Land Use & Transportation Committee of the Federal Way City Council
considered these code amendments on November 4, 2019, and recommended adoption of the text
amendments as recommended by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Way City Council finds it is in the best interest of the public to
enact and impose a Surface and Stormwater System Development Charge.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings. The City Council of the City of Federal Way makes the following
findings with respect to the proposed amendments.
(1) These code amendments are in the best interest of the residents of the City and will benefit
the City as a whole by fairly distributing the costs associated with a growing demand on the
City's stormwater system by assessing a charge to new development or re-development that
increases impervious surfaces or alters pervious surfaces resulting in increased rainfall runoff.
(2) These code amendments comply with Chapter 36.70A RCW, Growth Management.
(3) These code amendments are consistent with the intent and purpose of Title 19 FWRC and
will implement and are consistent with the applicable provisions of the Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan("FWCP").
(4) These code amendments bear a substantial relationship to, and will protect and not adversely
affect, the public health, safety, and welfare.
(5) These code amendments have followed the proper procedure required under the FWRC.
Ordinance No. 19- Page 3 of 11
Section 2. Conclusions. Pursuant to Chapter 19.80 FWRC and Chapter 19.35 FWRC, and
based upon the recitals and the findings set forth in Section 1, the Federal Way City Council
makes the following Conclusions of Law with respect to the decisional criteria necessary for the
adoption of the proposed amendments:
(1) The proposed FWRC amendments are consistent with, and substantially implement, the
following Federal Way Comprehensive Plan goals and policies:
CFG1 Annually update the Capital Facilities Plan to implement the FWCP by
coordinating urban services, land use decisions, level of service standards, and
financial resources with a fully funded schedule of capital improvements.
CFP1 Provide needed public facilities and services to implement the FWCP.
CFP7 Maximize the use of existing public facilities and promote orderly compact
urban growth.
CFG2 To meet current needs for capital facilities in Federal Way, correct deficiencies
in existing systems, and replace or improve obsolete facilities.
CFG3 Provide capital facilities to serve and direct future growth within Federal Way
and its Potential Annexation Area as they further develop.
CFP 13 Provide the capital facilities needed to serve the future growth anticipated by
the FWCP.
CFP16 Plan and coordinate the location of public facilities and utilities in advance of
need.
CFPG4 Provide adequate funding for capital facilities in Federal Way to ensure the
FWCP vision and goals are implemented.
CFP22 Manage the City of Federal Way's fiscal resources to support providing needed
capital improvements. Ensure a balanced approach to allocating financial resources
between:
(a)major maintenance of existing facilities;
(b) eliminating existing capital facility deficiencies; and
(c)providing new or expanding existing facilities to serve new growth.
CFPG6 Manage the Surface Water Utility in a manner that makes efficient use of limited
resources to address the most critical problems first, and which expresses community
Ordinance No. 19- Page 4 of 11
values and priorities.
CFP34 The utility's funds and resources shall be managed in a professional manner in
accordance with applicable laws, standards, and City financial policies.
CFP35 The utility shall remain a self-supporting enterprise fund.
CFP36 The utility Capital Improvement Program (CIP) will provide funding for the
following types of projects:
(a) Projects needed for renewal/replacement or additions to current infrastructure and
facilities.
CFP37 To the extent of funding limitations, the CIP shall be sustained at a level of
service necessary to implement cost effective flood control mitigation; meet water quality
policies; maintain system integrity; provide required resource stewardship and protection;
and meet federal, state, and local regulations.
CFP38 The utility will continue to strive to minimize the use of loans to fund necessary
capital improvements, and will generally operate on a "pay-as-you-go basis." However,
low interest loans (i.e. Public Works Trust Fund) and/or grants will be used to leverage
local funds when feasible.
(2) The proposed FWRC amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety,
and welfare because it enables the Surface and Stormwater Utility to apply a long-range
approach to the financing of necessary facilities to ensure continued operation of the drainage
infrastructure and reduces the likelihood of flooding and environmental degradation as a result of
an overburdened system.
(3) The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the public and the residents of the City of
Federal Way because it fairly distributes the costs associated with a growing demand on the
City's stormwater system by assessing a charge to new development or re-development that
increases impervious surfaces or alters pervious surfaces resulting in increased rainfall runoff.
Section 3. A new chapter of the Federal Way Revised Code is hereby created, Chapter
19.96,to read as follows:
Ordinance No. 19- Page 5 of 11
Chapter 19.96
Surface and Stormwater Utility System Development Charges.
19.96.010 Purpose and intent.
The city council has determined that it is in the public interest to enact and impose Surface and
Stormwater Utility System Development Charges (SDC) for the purpose of recovering the
equitable share of the cost of impacts to the City of Federal Way Surface and Stormwater Utility
facilities that result from development that increases impervious surfaces or changes pervious
surfaces resulting in an increase in rainfall runoff.
19.96.020 Definitions.
The following words and terms shall have the following meanings for the purposes of this
chapter. Terms otherwise not defined herein shall be defined pursuant to Chapter 19.05 or given
their usual and customary meaning.
"Equivalent Service Unit (ESU)" means the average amount of impervious surface area on
single-family residential parcels within the City of Federal Way. Impervious surface area
includes the single-family residence, driveway, walkway, paved areas, and other surfaces that do
not allow penetration of stormwater runoff into the ground. The ESU value for the City of
Federal Way has been calculated to be 3,200 square feet.
"Impervious surface area" means the non-vegetated surface area that either prevents or retards
the entry of water into the soil mantle as under natural conditions prior to development and/or
that causes water to run off the surface in greater quantities or at an increased rate of flow from
the flow present under natural conditions prior to development. Common impervious surfaces
include, but are not limited to, roof tops, walkways,patios, driveways, parking lots or stormwater
Ordinance No. 19- Page 6 of 11
areas, concrete or asphalt paving, gravel roads, packed earthen materials, and oiled, macadam or
other surfaces that similarly impede the natural infiltration of stormwater.
"Redevelopment" for the purpose of assessing SDCs means a site that is already substantially
developed (i.e., has thirty-five percent or more of existing hard surface coverage), the creation or
addition of hard surfaces; the expansion of a building footprint or addition or replacement of a
structure; structural development including construction, installation or expansion of a building
or other structure; replacement of hard surface that is not part of a routine maintenance activity.
19.96.030 System Development Charges methodology and applicability.
(1) System Development Charges (SDCs) are one-time fees that will be paid at the time of
development and are intended to recover a share of the cost of system capacity needed to serve
growth. No building permit, land use approval, short subdivision or subdivision approval, or any
other permit allowing development within the city shall be granted except upon payment of the
SDC required under this chapter. The annual SDC rate shall be included within the 2020 City of
Federal Way Fee Schedule and will be calculated as a dollar amount per ESU. The SDC will be
reviewed each year and any changes in the SDC rate shall be published in the City of Federal
Way Fee Schedule. All development, which includes redevelopment, in the city that increases
impervious surfaces will be assessed an SDC.
(2) SDCs do not include permit fees, application fees, the administrative fee for collecting and
handling SDCs, or any other charge, fee, or tax imposed or required by the FWRC or any other
entity.
(3) The SDC for 2020 shall be $981.00 per ESU.
19.96.040 Assessment of System Development Charges.
Ordinance No. 19- Page 7 of I I
(1) For the purposes of assessing an SDC, development of a single-family detached dwelling unit
parcel as a single-family detached dwelling unit shall be assessed an SDC of one ESU,regardless
of lot size or total square footage of new impervious surface area.
(2) For all other development, ESUs will be based on the total increase in square footage of
impervious surface area. The total increase in square footage of impervious surface area will be
identified at the time of the development review.
(3) Assessed SDCs shall be paid to the SWM SDC account prior to connection of private
stormwater infrastructure to the City's public drainage system.
19.96.050 Deposit and use of System Development Charge funds.
(1) All monies obtained pursuant to this chapter shall be segregated, credited, and deposited to
the credit of the storm and surface water utility. The monies deposited shall be expended only for
administering, operating, maintaining, or improving storm and surface water facilities, including,
but not limited to, all or any part of the cost of administering, planning, permitting, designing,
financing, acquiring, constructing, maintaining, repairing, replacing, improving, or operating
present or future storm and surface water facilities and/or property owned by the utility. Monies
shall not be transferred to any other funds of the city except to pay for expenses directly
attributable to the storm and surface water utility.
(2) In the event that bonds or similar debt instruments are or have been issued for the advanced
provision of public improvements for which monies obtained pursuant to this chapter may be
expended, said monies may be used to pay debt service on such bonds or similar debt
instruments to the extent that the facilities or improvements provided are consistent with the
requirements of this section and are used to serve development and redevelopment.
19.96.060 Administrative guidelines.
Ordinance No. 19- Page 8 of 11
The public works director is hereby authorized to adopt internal guidelines for the administration
of SDCs, which may include the adoption of a procedures guide for SDCs.
19.96.070 Annual adjustment.
Beginning January 1, 2021, and for every year thereafter, the SDC shall be adjusted by the
annual change in the June CPI for the Seattle area.
19.96.080 Administrative fee.
(1) There shall be a fee for the administration of the SDC program in an amount equal to five
percent of the amount of the total assessed SDC. The administrative fee shall be deposited into
an administrative fee account to the credit of the surface and stormwater utility. Administrative
fees shall be used to defray the cost incurred by the city in the administration and update of the
SDC program.
(2) The administrative fee, which is in addition to the assessed SDC, shall be paid by the
applicant at the same time as the SDC.
19.96.090 Appeals.
A person aggrieved by a decision of the public works director regarding the applicability or
amount of SDCs to any development required under the provisions of this chapter may appeal
the decision to the city's hearing examiner using Process IV, Chapter 19.70 FWRC, within 14
calendar days of the issuance of the SDC decision. In those cases where the proposed
development activity may require a hearing under the authority of other chapters of this code,the
hearings may be combined.
19.96.100 Existing authority unimpaired.
Ordinance No. 19- Page 9 of 11
Nothing in this chapter shall impair or preclude the city from requiring the applicant or the
proponent of a development activity to mitigate the development impacts and/or adverse
environmental impacts of a specific development pursuant to any provision of the FWRC, the
State Environmental Policy Act, Chapter 43.21C RCW, and/or any other applicable federal,
state, or local law, regulation, or standard based on the environmental documents accompanying
the underlying development approval process, and/or Chapter 58.17 RCW, governing plats and
subdivisions, so long as the exercise of such authority is consistent with the provisions of
Chapters 43.21C and 82.02 RCW.
Section 4. Severability. The provisions of this ordinance are declared separate and
severable. The invalidity of any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section, or portion of
this ordinance, or the invalidity of the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall
not affect the validity of the remainder of the ordinance, or the validity of its application to any
