3. STUDY SESSION
a. 2020 Classification and Compensation Study
Human Resources Manager Jean Stanley introduced Alex Sheets and Cabot Dow who
presented background on the 2020 Classification and Compensation Study including timeline
and results. Ms. Stanley noted the scope of work included reviewing job classifications and
salaries of comparable agencies as well as an exploratory organizational and workload
analysis. She noted Cabot Dow and Associates will discuss the results of their findings and
offer recommendations.
Ms. Sheets and Mr. Dow provided information on the report including how they matched
positions across agencies, total compensation versus base salary, and the results which
indicate an increase in disparity as the salary ranges increase in individual positions.
Councilmembers asked various questions about past salary surveys completed previously for
the city that were not implemented and the lack of annual cost of living adjustments (COLA)
which compound over years. Mayor Ferrell noted the city, during the last depression, went 6-
years without a COLA for non -represented staff, which added to the city falling behind in
salary as compared to neighboring jurisdictions.
The Mayor and Council discussed next steps in addressing the annual COLAs and the
individual inequities found in certain positions. Mayor Ferrell noted the COLA for 2021 was
lowered to 2%; and he is hoping to pick up the remaining 1 % in 2021 and fund a 3% COLA for
2022. He also noted he would work with Finance Director Ariwoola and Human Resources

a. S 320th Flagpole Rehabilitation Project Acceptance

ability to reuse the current foundation, which was an unknown at the time of project

repairing the irrigation system and replacing the damaged landscape. The remaining

Doc Hansen, Principal Planner R4M
SUBJECT: Briefing on the 2021 Planning Commission Work Program
A. FINANCIAL IMPACTS
Much of the work on items in the 2021 Planning Commission Work program will be done by Planning
staff. However, with Council's recent budget approval, a consultant will be retained to work on the
Downtown planning effort.
B. BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission's Work Program is approved by the City Council on a yearly basis. This
memorandum summarizes what was completed in 2020 and provides the Mayor's recommendation for
the 2021 Planning Commission Work Program (Attachment A). The Planning Commission was briefed
on the proposed Work Program on December 2, 2020. In addition to the items listed in Attachment A,
the City Council may introduce code amendments at any time during the year for consideration.
It is planned to have 1.5 planners from the seven Full Time Equivalents (FTE) assigned to the long
range planning activities. Such items include processing comprehensive plan amendments and rezone
requests, preparing code amendments, and reporting and monitoring work required by state law.
This Work Program is intended to be a list of items to be completed in 2021. However, as has often
been the case in past years, other demands have sometimes taken precedence over listed activities on
the adopted Work Program.
C. MAYOR'S RECOMMENDATION
The Mayor recommends approval of the 2021 Planning Commission Work Program.

Subject: "On -Call' Electrical Services Contract Amendment
Financial Impacts
The cost to the City for "On -Call' Electrical Services was included within the approved
budget under the Parks Department 001-7100-331-576-80-480. In accordance with the
approved budget, this item is funded by the General Fund. The proposed amendment
will add $99,000 in compensation for a total contract amount of $198,000.
Original contract: $99,000
Current Proposed Amendment #1 $99,000
Total amount of contract $198,000
Background:
In 2017 staff bid "On -call' Electrical Service invitations, the bid from JGM Technical
Services was responsive to the request and this company has provided quality services
to the City in the past. Staff recommends extending their contract for an additional 3-year
contract term for "On -call' Electrical Services in the amount of $99,000.
On -Call electrical services includes any/all electrical needs for the city as we do not have
a certified electrician on staff. (i.e. new service lines, panel replacements, copper wire
theft repairs, troubleshooting, etc.). The city reserves the right to bid all work over
$5,000.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 12, 2021
TO: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy J. Hwang, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with the Humane Society for Tacoma
and Pierce County
Financial Impacts:
The following is a summary of the financial impacts of this six -year professional services
agreement between the City and the Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce County: The
annual base cost to the City for 2021, 2022, and 2023 will be $76,000 per year. In 2024, an
increase of COLA plus 1 % will be applied. COLA is defined as the annual average of the
Seattle -Tacoma -Bellevue metro area CPI-U as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The same formula will be applied to 2025 with an annual COLA plus 1 % increase and again
in 2026 with a further COLA plus 1 % increase. Since 2011 the CPI has been between 1.2
and 3.2 each year. Also, the Society will retain all pet license fees.
There are also additional charges for impounded or quarantined animals held over three days:
The first three days are covered under our flat rate agreement and then after three days, board
will be charged to City at the rate of $26.50 per day in 2021, $27.30 per day in 2022, and
$28.10 per day in 2023. From 2024 through to 2026 the rates will increase each year by
COLA plus 1 %.
Background Information:
Our Animal Services Unit has contracted with the Humane Society since the inception of our
Animal Services Unit in 2011. The City uses the Humane Society for stray animals,
impounded animals, disposal of unclaimed animal carcasses, and for licensing services.
The Humane Society plays a vital part in reuniting lost animals with owners, in adopting
found animals with their forever families, and in animal abuse investigations. They hold our
animals that have been quarantined due to an attack and they have holding areas for animals
that have been declared vicious or dangerous.
The police department explored alternatives to the Humane Society but ultimately
recommends continuing our relationship with them. By continuing our relationship with the
Humane Society, the people and animals of Federal Way benefit from the continuity and
from the Humane Society's mission of enhancing animal welfare.

COLA being defined as the annual average of the Seattle -Tacoma -Bellevue metro area
CPI-U as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The same formula will be applied to 2025 with an annual COLA plus 1 % increase and
again in 2026 with a further COLA plus 1 % increase.
3
Monthly payments are due on or before the 10th of each month, with the final payment
due by January 10 of the following year. Any payment in full over 60 days late may
cause a suspension of service and will automatically be charged a 1 % penalty.
(2) To allow the Humane Society to retain all adoption, impound, board, fines and other
fees collected from the public for animals accepted into the shelter since the Society has
factored retention of such fees into the cost of the contract.
(3) To provide the Humane Society all licenses and licensing material for the City of
Federal Way and other entities with whom the City of Federal Way has contracted.
(4) The Society does not have emergency veterinary or intensive care facilities (ICU)
and cannot provide overnight monitoring of animals. Animals needing emergency
medical care, will be taken to an appropriate facility to be treated prior to booking with
the Society. For the purposes of this contract, emergency medical treatment is defined
as a level of care higher than the Society can provide, such as obvious broken bones,
trauma, or other medical issues that would require intensive care and monitoring. Until
the Humane Society accepts the animal, the City of Federal Way is responsible for all
after-hours emergency medical treatment of any animal that the City impounds.
(5) During hours that the Shelter is open, the Society normally has a veterinarian
available to provide routine veterinary care; however, in the event that the Humane
Society does not have a veterinarian available to provide routine veterinary care at the
Shelter, any animals needing such care shall be the responsibility of the City of Federal
Way. The Society shall immediately inform Federal Way Animal Control when the
Society does not have a veterinarian available to provide routine veterinary care at the
Shelter and the expected duration. The City of Federal Way is responsible for
transporting the animal to the chosen veterinary clinic and to the Humane Society once
the animal is stabilized. The Society will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
routine veterinary services for the Shelter during the life of this Agreement.
(6) The City of Federal Way animal control officers will not bring known feral cats to
the Society unless they can be neutered and returned to field. It is accepted that stray
cats frequently cannot be identified as true strays or feral cats and this clause only
relates to known feral cats and/or members of feral cat colonies. On the same principle
the Society cannot accept feral cat colonies that cannot be returned to field following
spay/neuter surgery as the only options would be euthanasia and it would therefore be
more humane to leave the feral cats where they are.
(7) The City of Federal Way animal control officers will completely and accurately
perform the data input required for shelter admission as well as scan each animal for
microchips. The Society will provide the necessary training for the computer intake
requirements. The Society will create the shelter admissions policy and provide it to the
City of Federal Way.
m
(8) To hold the Society harmless from any damages or attorneys' fees or costs incurred
by the Society, as a result of litigation which (a) names the Society and (b) involves a
City of Federal Way ordinance that is declared illegal or unenforceable and upon which
the Society relied in the performance of its obligations under this agreement.
MUTUAL COVENANTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS — both parties hereto agree to the
following conditions:
(1) All persons employed by the Society to perform its obligations under this contract
shall be employees of the Society and not of the City of Federal Way with the proviso
that the Society may from time to time have to use contract veterinarians.
(2) Either party can terminate this contract upon 180 days' written notice; Provided that
either party may terminate upon 60 days' written notice for breach of any material clause
herein. To facilitate timely renewal or termination, the parties agree to commence
negotiations for the 2027 to 2029 contract by August 1, 2026, and to gather and provide
to each other all pertinent data reasonably necessary to meaningfully negotiate.
(3) Modification. This instrument constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties
and supersedes all prior agreements. No modification or amendment shall be valid
unless evidenced in writing, properly agreed to and signed by both parties. In the event
either party shall desire to renegotiate any provision of the agreement, the party shall
provide 90 days' notice to the other party. The notice shall identify the provision or
provisions to be renegotiated, the requested changes, and shall state the reasons for
the request. The party receiving the request shall respond in writing on or before the
end of the 90-day period.
(4) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required by this
Agreement shall be in writing and, except as expressly provided elsewhere in this
Agreement, shall be deemed to have been given at the time of delivery if personally
delivered or at the time of mailing if mailed by first class, postage pre -paid and
addressed to the party at its address as stated in this Agreement or at such address as
any party may designate at any time in writing.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 12, 2021
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy J. Hwang, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: 2021 to 2023 police services contract with the Commons Mall
Financial Impacts:
The revenue to the City for providing police services to the Commons Mall will be
$171,846.82 in 2021 and $172,367.22 in 2022. Funding from our agreements are credited to
the PD budget line 001-0000-090-342-10-001 in monthly installments.
Background Information:
The Federal Way Police Department has partnered with the Commons Mall since our
inception; we currently have three police officers with fulltime positions at the mall.
Our officers' number one responsibility at the Commons Mall is to protect people from
harm. The officers also work with the Commons staff and stakeholders to foster a safe
and friendly environment. They also develop crime related problem -solving strategies
with management of the Commons and the vendors at the mall. They respond to in -
progress and prior crimes, take enforcement actions, conduct follow-up investigations,
and they provide training to store employees on how to file online police reports. This is
a highly visible position and our officers have positive interactions with mall visitors at
special events such as the farmers market, car shows, and holiday events.
The term of this Services Agreement is for two years, commencing January 1, 2021 and
ending December 31, 2022.

caused by the negligent or intentional acts, errors, or omissions of the city, except for that portion of the claims caused by the
Owner's sole negligent or intentional acts, errors, or omissions.
5.3 Survival. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement with
respect to any event occurring prior to such expiration or termination.
6. INSURANCE. Both parties agree to carry as a minimum general liability insurance in the amount of at least
$1,000,000 single limit and $2,000,000 aggregate, including property liability. Both parties shall provide certificates of
insurance, concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, evidencing such coverage and, at the other parry's request, furnish
the other party with copies of all insurance policies and evidence of payment of premiums or fees of such policies. The
provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement with respect to any event occurring prior
to such expiration or termination.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY. All information regarding the city obtained by the Owner in the performance of this
Agreement shall be considered confidential. Breach of confidentiality by the Owner will be grounds for immediate termination.
If the city notifies the Owner of a public disclosure request, and the Owner believes records are exempt from disclosure, it is the
Owner's responsibility to make a determination and pursue a lawsuit under RCW 42.56.540 to enjoin disclosure. The Owner
must obtain the injunction and serve it on the city before the close of business on the tenth business day after the city sent
notification to the Owner. It is the Owner's discretionary decision whether to file the lawsuit. If the Owner does not timely
obtain and serve an injunction, the Owner is deemed to have authorized releasing the record. If the city has notified the Owner
of a public disclosure request, and the Owner has not obtained an injunction and served the city with that injunction by the close
of business on the tenth business day after the city sent notice, the city will then disclose the record unless it makes an
independent determination that the record is exempt from disclosure. Notwithstanding the above, the Owner must not take any
action that would affect (a) the city's ability to use goods and services provided under this Agreement or (b) the Owner
obligations under this Agreement. The Owner will fully cooperate with the city in identifying and assembling records in case of
any public disclosure request.
8. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The Parties intend that the city shall be an independent contractor and that the
city has the ability to control and direct the performance and details of its work, the Owner being interested only in the results
obtained under this Agreement. The Owner shall be neither liable nor obligated to pay city sick leave, vacation pay, or any
other benefit of employment, nor to pay any social security or other tax which may arise as an incident of employment.
9. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
9.1 Interpretation and Modification. This Agreement, together with any attached Exhibits, contains all of the
agreements of the Parties with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this Agreement, and no prior statements or
agreements, whether oral or written, shall be effective for any purpose. Should any language in any of the Exhibits to this
Agreement conflict with any language contained in this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. The respective
captions of the Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to modify or
otherwise affect any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement that is declared invalid, inoperative,
null and void, or illegal shall in no way affect or invalidate any other provision hereof, and such other provisions shall remain in
full force and effect. No provision of this Agreement, including this provision, may be amended, waived, or modified except by
written agreement signed by duly authorized representatives of the Parties.
9.2 Assignment and Beneficiaries. Neither the Owner nor the City shall have the right to transfer or assign, in
whole or in part, any or all of its obligations and rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party. If the non -
assigning Party gives its consent to any assignment, the terms of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and no
further assignment shall be made without additional written consent. Subject to the foregoing, the rights and obligations of the
Parties shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon their respective successors in interest, heirs, and assigns. This
Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the Parties hereto. No other person or entity shall

9.3 Enforcement. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each and all of its provisions in which performance
is a factor. Any notices required to be given by the Parties shall be delivered at the addresses set forth at the beginning of this
Agreement. Any notices may be delivered personally to the notice's addressee or may be deposited in the United States mail,
postage prepaid, to the address set forth above. Any notice so posted in the United States mail shall be deemed received three
(3) days after the date of mailing. Any remedies provided for under the terms of this Agreement are not intended to be exclusive,
but shall be cumulative with all other remedies available at law, in equity or by statute. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict
performance of any of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, or to exercise any option conferred by this
Agreement in one or more instances shall not be construed to be a waiver or relinquishment of those covenants, agreements or
options, and the same shall be and remain in full force and effect. Failure or delay of a Party to declare any breach or default
immediately upon occurrence shall not waive such breach or default. Failure of a Party to declare one breach or default does not
act as a waiver of the city's right to declare another breach or default. This Agreement shall be made in, governed by, and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. If the Parties are unable to settle any dispute, difference or
claim arising from this Agreement, the exclusive means of resolving that dispute, difference, or claim, shall be by filing suit

addition to any other recovery or award provided by law; provided, however, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
limit the Parties' rights to indemnification under Section 5 of this Agreement.

instrument, but in making proof hereof it shall only be necessary to produce one such counterpart. The signature and
acknowledgment pages from such counterparts may be assembled together to form a single instrument comprised of all pages of
this Agreement and a complete set of all signature and acknowledgment pages. The date upon which the last of all ofthe Parties
have executed a counterpart of this Agreement shall be the "date of mutual execution" hereof.

EXHIBIT "A"
SERVICES
1. For the years 2021 and 2022, the city will provide Contract Officers for a total of ten (10) ten-hour
shifts per week. The actual days of the week and hours will be agreed upon by the Owner and the
City based on the needs of both parties.
2. The city will provide to the Property three (3) full time, experienced police officers ("Contract
Officers") to provide security (in addition to other policy duties) for the Property, its businesses,
tenants, and customers. The Contract Officers will work in conjunction with private security or other
police agency representatives employed by the Owner at the Property or any of the Property's stores
or tenants. Contract officers will combine foot patrol and vehicle patrol of the Property, including its
parking lot and perimeter, with office, booth, or kiosk fixed positions to provide security, visibility,
and police services. Contract Officers will lose no benefits, assignment, training, or promotional
opportunities due to the Agreement. Contract Officers will be assigned in one (1) year increments,
but maybe rotated to address City needs or Owner interests.
3. The Property will be considered by the city as a mini -beat within the general geographical dispersal
structure of the city, placing it as a section within a regular beat. The regular beat officer, in which
the Property mini -beat exists, will provide presences and response capabilities consistent with
general beat management strategies. The Property's coverage by the regular beat officer will not be
reduced by the presence of the Contract Officers or by the use of other police agency representatives
or private security staff or agency representatives in the Property or in individual stores. All
supplemental police services will remain unaffected by the coverage provided for in this Agreement.
4. During assigned periods, the Contract Officers will respond to police or public safety incidents. If
the matter can be resolved by the Contract Officers expediently, no general assignment or specialized
assignment officers will need to respond. If needed, as determined by the city, other officers will be
dispatched as in the resolution of any similar matter through the city. If the incident requires
extended investigation or follow-up investigation away from the Property, or prisoner transportation
general assignment officers will relieve the Contractor Officers to allow them to resume the Contract
Officer duties as soon as practical.
5. The city will retain control over the Contract Officers and the Contract Officers will work under the
general and direct supervision of the Federal Way Police Department and the City. The Contract
Officers will work in a full duty status while on duty as in any Police Department duty assignment,
and will adhere to departmental policies and procedures. Contract Officers will be in uniform during
duty hours and will be provided with regularly used police equipment including vehicles and radios.
The city may at its option also provide bicycles, computers, or other equipment.
6. The Owner may provide office space, a public access kiosk, or other facilities. Property
Management may coordinate the security efforts of the Contract Officers on a day-to-day basis,
consistent with City policy, to assure continuity, coverage, and coordination of efforts; provided that
in the event of a conflict between any direction from the Owner or its agents and the City, the City
direction shall control.
7. Contract Officer absences due to illness, time off, or training will be replaced by general assignment
police officers, to maintain a continuity of coverage, when the absence will result in no Contract
Officer being on duty at the Commons Mall for that day. The number of shifts shall be set in Exhibit
B - Compensation, and may be reduced based on the actual level of service provided by the City and
the actual level of compensation actually provided by the Owner to the City. Specific hours of
coverage will be established by the city in conjunction with the Property management.

COMPENSATION
For 2021, the total cost of 100 shift -hours per week of the assigned Contract Officers is Three Hundred Thirty -
Four Thousand Six Hundred Ninety -Three and 64/100 Dollars ($334,693.64). The Owner will pay half of this
cost, totaling One Hundred Seventy -One Thousand Eight Hundred Forty -Six and 82/100 Dollars ($171,846.82)
in monthly installments.
For 2022, the collective bargaining unit representing Federal Way police officers, including the contract mall
officers, is expected to be working under a new CBA that will likely include cost of living adjustments (COLA).
In August of 2018, the COLA for the last 12 months was 3.0%. Using 3.0% as an estimate for 2022 makes the
total cost of 100 shift -hours per week of the assigned Contract Officers is Three Hundred Forty -Four Thousand
Seven Hundred Thirty -Four and 45/100 ($344,734.45). The Owner will pay half of this cost, totaling One
Hundred Seventy -Two Thousand Three Hundred Sixty -Seven and 22/100 Dollars ($172,367.22) in monthly
installments.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 12, 2021
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy J. Hwang, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: American Traffic Solutions/Verra Mobility Professional Service
Agreement Photo Enforcement Program
Financial Impacts:
Our existing program with American Traffic Solutions (ATS) is working well. We are
confident that the contract with ATS is appropriate and the fees are reasonable. The
reported revenues and fees are closely tracked by our Finance Department. With eleven
cameras currently installed, the program continues to be 100 percent violator funded.
Background Information:
Traffic safety is a high priority for the Police Department and through our Red -Light Photo
Enforcement (RLPE) program, we have been using traffic cameras with traffic control
devices at intersections and school zones. Through statistical data review, this technology
has shown the ability to improve and further enhance traffic safety in multiple locations
around the city.
The photo -enforced intersections and school zones were chosen by the Police Department as
the locations of the highest incidents of red-light running and school zone speeding. As
shown by the reduction of the number of traffic infractions over the life of the program, the
inference can be made that the photo enforcement program is having the desired effect —
drivers are slowing down in school zones and stopping at red lights at monitored
intersections. Good driving behavior, evidenced by motorists obeying traffic laws, is much
more prevalent with the onset of our photo enforcement program.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) maintains that "A comprehensive approach to intersection safety
incorporates engineering, education, and enforcement countermeasures to prevent red-
light running and improve intersection safety. Red-light camera systems can be a very
effective countermeasure to prevent red-light running." (Red -Light Camera Systems
Operational Guidelines, FHWA, January 2005.) Photo enforcement technology does not
replace traditional methods of traffic enforcement. Rather, it serves as a supplement to
traditional traffic enforcement techniques, in addition to educational and engineering efforts
designed to enhance traffic safety. The Police Department will continue to measure and
Rev. 7/18
evaluate the effectiveness of the red-light photo enforcement program with regard to safety,
traffic flow, and motorist compliance with traffic control devices.
Proposal
Our current Professional Services Agreement with ATS expires December 31, 2020. We
recommend council approval to enter into a new five-year contract with American Traffic
Solutions for a term that starts on 01-01-2021 and runs through 12-31-2025. This Agreement
would automatically extend for a subsequent one-year term; provided, however, that either
party may terminate this Agreement at the expiration of any term by providing written notice
of its intent not to extend the Agreement one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the
expiration of the then -current, making the contract persist until 12-31-2026.
Our RLPE program is achieving the desired voluntary compliance results we anticipated.
Below is an excerpt from 2019 traffic report. The statistics show that the number of
collisions has decreased when compared to years before the installation of cameras and when
compared to the first years of cameras in 2008 and 2009.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 12, 2021
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy J. Hwang, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Jail Services Contract — King County Jail
Financial Impacts:
In an attempt to secure additional housing options, we continue to utilize contract jail
facilities to manage our jail population. The King County Jail has been used by the Federal
Way Police Department to house inmates arrested on felony charges, at no charge to the city,
since its inception in 1996. The King County jail is also used to house combative inmates as
well as those requiring additional services, such as advanced medical and mental health
services, which may not be available at some of the smaller contract facilities we utilize.
There would be no additional financial impact to the city, as this cost would be fulfilled by
reallocating funds already allotted within the City's Jail Services budget.
Background Information:
In 2020, we separated from SCORE Jail as an Owner City because the financial burden
became unsustainable. In 2009, SCORE was established to serve seven Owner Cities, with a
goal of providing consolidated correctional services at a lower total cost to the participating
Owner Cities. In the case of Federal Way, there had been a significant jail cost increase in
the seven years we had been an Owner City. In 2012, Federal Way'.s total jail budget was
$2,305,280, a 17% M&O obligation (based on 60 ADP). In 2018, the SCORE jail budget
swelled to $6,293,163, a 30.23% M&O obligation (80 ADP). The 2018 total jail budget was
$6,415,972, which included other jail expenses outside of SCORE. The steady incremental
increase for those seven years, totaling 20 more ADP, had increased our SCORE budget by
$3,987,883 — this reflected an increase of 173% since the inception of our participation.
The SCORE Financial Alternatives Study Subcommittee was created to research financial
alternatives for Owner Cities. At that time, no feasible alternative option existed or has been
presented for Owner Cities to remedy the unsustainable financial obligation for the City of
Federal Way.
Rev. 7/18
On September 4, 2018, Federal Way City Council unanimously passed a resolution
authorizing the withdrawal from the SCORE Inter -local Agreement. In 2020, as an
alternative to the SCORE Jail, the FWPD entered into Jail Services contracts with King
County Jail, Kent City Jail, Yakima County Jail, Issaquah City Jail, and the Puyallup City
Jail to manage our jail population.
Since the decision to leave SCORE, we have successfully managed our jail population within
the allotted budget and ended the year with significant jail budget savings. Having the option
to secure jail services at the King County Jail assists us in appropriately handling our inmate
housing needs while staying within our allotted Jail Services budget.
Rev. 7/18

1.5 "City Detainee" means a person booked into or housed in a Secure Detention facility such
as the Jail but also including any other Secure Detention facility not operated by or on
behalf of the County, which individual would, if housed in the Jail, qualify as a City Inmate.

principal basis for booking or confining that person.
A. A City charge is the principal basis for booking or confining a person where one or more
of the following applies, whether pre-trial or post -trial. (See Exhibit I for further billable
charge rules.):
1.6.1 The person is booked or confined by reason of committing or allegedly committing a
misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor offense within the City's jurisdiction, and:
1.6.1.1 The case is referred to the City, through its City Attorney or contracted
attorney, for a filing decision; or

attorney, who then refers the case to the County Prosecutor for a filing
decision per section 1.6.2; or
1.6.1.3 The case is filed by the City, through its City Attorney or contracted
attorney, whether filed under state law or city ordinance.
1.6.2 The person is booked or confined by reason of committing or allegedly committing a

through 1.6.5 and would be released or transferred but for the City having requested
that the County continue to confine the person.

a City Inmate. The billing status of the person will change to no longer be the City's
responsibility effective the calendar day following the day that the County denies the
transfer request. If the County thereafter determines that it no longer needs to detain
the person and the person would as a result become a City Inmate, then the County
will provide notice to the City that it will become billable for the Inmate. For details
on notice and billing, see Attachment I-2.
1.6.10 The person is booked or confined by reason of committing a misdemeanor or gross
misdemeanor offense, whether filed under state law or city ordinance, within the
2
City's jurisdiction and the case is referred by the City attorney or contracted attorney
to the County prosecutor and filed by the County prosecutor as a misdemeanor in the
mental health court (or successor) for so long as the operations of such court are
substantially funded by special regional funds (for example, Mental Illness and Drug
Dependency sales tax levy) or other regional funding as the County may determine.
The County shall provide the City thirty (30) days Notification before changing the
status of a regionally -funded mental health court to local funding status. The City is
not billed for cases fled by the County prosecutor into mental health court prior to
changing to local funding status.
1.7 "Community Corrections Programs" means programs designed as alternatives to, or as
rehabilitation or treatment in lieu of, Secure Detention, operated by or on behalf of the

Inmate may receive Offsite Medical Care that triggers an Offsite Medical Care Charge

2. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall extend through December

Parties relating to the Jail and any other jail services, except that any obligations contained in these
previous contracts or agreements which expressly survived termination or expiration of these
previous contracts or agreements shall remain in effect.
Jail and 1-lealth Services. The County shall accept City Inmates for confinement in the Jail, except
as provided in Sections 5.4, and 6 of this Agreement. The County shall also furnish the City with
Jail facilities; booking; transportation among facilities, as determined necessary in the County's
sole discretion, including the various Jail facilities, Harborview Medical Center and Western State
Hospital; custodial services; and personnel for the confinement of City Inmates at least equal to
those the County provides for confinement of County Inmates. However, the County reserves the
right to operate specific programs and/or facilities exclusively for County Imnates or persons
sentenced or assigned to Community Corrections Programs. The County shall furnish to City
Inmates in Secure Detention all medical, dental and other health care services required to be
provided pursuant to federal or state law. Also, the County shall make every reasonable effort to
release a City Inmate as expeditiously as possible after the County has received notice of a court
order to release. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to limit the County's right to refuse to
accept City Detainees for confinement in Jail when they are deemed by the County to be in need
of urgent medical or psychological care, nor to return custody of such inmates back to the City if
the City Detainee is admitted to the hospital or psychiatric facility.
City Compensation. The City will pay the County a Booking Fee, Maintenance Charge, Surcharges,
and Offsite Medical Charges as follows (together with such other charges as may be applicable in
accordance with this Agreement):
4.1 Booking Fee. The Booking Fee shall be assessed for the booking of City Inmates by or on
behalf of the City into the Jail as further described in Exhibit III, Section 2. The Booking
Fee will be inflated effective January 1, 2022.
4.2 Maintenance Chas. The Maintenance Charge shall be assessed for a City Inmate for each
Innate Day as provided in Exhibit III, Subsection 1. The Maintenance Charge will be
inflated effective January 1, 2022.
4.2. l The County will provide notice to the City after booking a City Inmate in order to
give notice that the City Inmate has been booked and to provide the opportunity
for release to the City if the City so desires. Such action will take place as soon as
reasonably possible but no later than the next business day after booking. A City
Inmate released within six hours of booking will result in no Maintenance Charges.
4.2.2 The County will provide notice to the City of the billing status of its Inmates for
the prior calendar day in cases where confinement is the result of multiple warrants
or sentences from two or more jurisdictions. As of the date of this Agreement, this
notice is provided to the City once each business day when applicable. The intent
of this program is to allow the City to take custody of a City Inmate if they so
desire after the other jurisdictional warrants are resolved and thereby prevent
unnecessary Maintenance Charges.
4.2.3 The Parties may amend the notice requirements of Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 by
administrative agreement signed by both the Chief Executive Officer of the City
and the King County Executive.
4.3 Access to and Charges for Ciiy Inmate Use of Community Corrections_ Progrouns. The
Parties agree to discuss in good faith the ability for the City to access Community
Corrections Programs, and to negotiate charges for such access. Any agreement between
the Parties with respect to access and charges for Community Corrections Programs shall
be enacted through an amendment to this Agreement.
4.4 Surcharges and Offske Medical Charg�s. In addition to the Booking Fee, Maintenance
Charge, and any other charges agreed to per Section 4.3, the City will be charged for Offsite
Medical Charges and Surcharges as detailed in Exhibit III, Section 3 and 4.
4.4.1 Proposed Notice of Certain Surchargin. The County intends to provide or make
available to the City timely notice of occurrences when a City Innate is transported
to Harborview Medical Center or other offsite medical institution, or is receiving
infirmary care or psychiatric care that will subject a City to Surcharges. Notice
provided or made available will be based on information known to DAJD at the
time (since billing status of an Inmate may be changed retroactively based on new
information or other factors). The County intends to provide or make available this
notice within two (2) business days following the day in which the chargeable
event occurs and will make good faith efforts to provide notice sooner if
practicable. The County will make good faith efforts to try to institute a means to
0
provide notice to the City within twenty-four (24) hours of the admittance of a City
Inmate to Harborview Medical Center or other offsite medical institution. The
County's failure to provide or make available notice or develop quicker means to
provide notice to the City as detailed above shall not excuse the City from financial
responsibility for related Offsite Medical Charges or Surcharges, and shall not be
a basis for imposing financial responsibility for related Offsite Medical Charges or
Surcharges on the County.
B111in , and B i I I i ng Dispute Resolution Procedures.
5.1 The County shall transmit billings to the City monthly. Within forty-five (45) days after
receipt, the City shall pay the full amount billed or withhold a portion thereof and provide
the County written notice meeting the requirements of Section 5.2.1, specifying the total
amount withheld and the grounds for withholding such amount, together with payment of
the remainder of the amount billed (if any amount remains). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the County shall bill the City for Offsite Medical Charges as such charges are
periodically received by the County from third party medical institutions or other offsite
medical providers. Offsite Medical Charges shall be due within such time and subject to
such withholding and dispute resolution procedures as otherwise provided in this
Section 5.
5.2 Withholding of any amount billed or alleging a violation related to billing provisions of
this Agreement shall constitute a dispute, which shall be resolved as follows:
5.2.1 The County shall respond in writing to billing disputes within sixty (60) days of
receipt of such disputes by the DAJD billing offices. To ensure the soonest start to
the sixty (60)-day timeline, the City should electronically mail scanned billing
disputes directly to the DAJD billing office, or by fax, or U.S. mail rather than to
any other County office or officer. The DAJD billing office contact information as
of the date of this Amendment is:
KC DAJD
DAJD-AP@kingcounty.gov
Attn: Finance — Inmate Billing
500 Fifth Avenue
Seattle, WA 98104 FAX Number: 206-296-3435
5.2.2 In the event the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, either Party may pursue
the dispute resolution mechanisms outlined in Section 9.
5.3 Any amount withheld from a billing, which is determined to be owed to the County
pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure described herein, shall be paid by the City
within thirty (30) days of the date of the resolution.
5.4 If the City fails to pay a billing within forty-five (45) days of receipt, the County will
provide the City with a notice of its failure to pay and the City shall have ten (10) days
from receipt of such notice to cure nonpayment. Any undisputed billing amount not paid
by the City within sixty (60) days of receipt of the billing, and any amounts found to be
owing to the County as a result of the billing dispute resolution procedure that are not paid
within thirty (30) days of resolution, shall be conclusively established as a lawful debt
owed to the County by the City, shall be binding on the Parties, and shall not be subject to
legal question either directly or collaterally. In the event the City fails to cure its
nonpayment, the City shall be deemed to have voluntarily waived its right to house City
Inmates in the Jail and, at the County's request, will remove City Inmates already housed
in the Jail within thirty (30) days. Thereafter, the County, at its sole discretion, may accept
no further City Inmates until all outstanding bills are paid. This provision shall not limit
the City's ability to challenge or dispute any billings that have been paid by the City.
5.5 The County may charge an interest rate equal to the interest rate on the monthly County
investment earnings on any undisputed billing amount not paid by the City within forty-
five (45) days of receipt of the billing, and any amounts found to be owing to the County
as a result of the billing dispute resolution procedure. Interest on amounts owed begin
accruing on the forty-sixth (46) day after payment was due.
5.6 Each Party may examine the other's financial records to verify charges. If an examination
reveals an improper charge, the next billing statement will be adjusted appropriately.
Disputes on matters related to this Agreement which are revealed by an audit shall be
resolved pursuant to Section 5.2.
6. Jail Capacity.
6.1 The Contract Cities may house Contract Cities Inmates in the Jail at an aggregate number,
calculated based on the Jail's Official Daily Population Count, equal to or less than the
Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities established in Sections 6.1.1.
6.1.1 Through December 31, 2022, the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities in the
aggregate is fifty (50) beds. These fifty (50) beds shall be available on a first -come,
first -served basis measured at the time of the Jail's Official Daily Population
Count.
6.2 In the event the number of Contract Cities Inmates exceeds the Secure Bed Cap for
Contract Cities described in Section 6.1, the County will notify the Contract Cities by
phone or electronic mail. The County may then decide to continue to house Contract Cities
Inmates in excess of the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities. Alternatively, the County may
refuse to accept bookings from the City until such time as the aggregate number of Contract
Cities Imnates is reduced below the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities. If the aggregate
number of Contract Cities Inmates is reduced below the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities
through removal of Contract Cities Imnates from the Jail, then the County will be obligated
to accept new City bookings. The notice required by the first sentence of this Section 6.2,
will be made to the person designated in Section 11.11 of this Agreement, and will inform
the City whether the County intends to continue to house Contract Cities Inmates in excess
of the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities described in Section 6.1, or whether the County
will refuse to accept bookings from the City until such time as the aggregate number of
Contract Cities Inmates is reduced below the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities described
in Section 6.1.
6.3 At the end of the last day of this Agreement, the Contract City agrees to reduce the number
of Contract City Inmates in the Jail to zero (0), with the exception that Inmates whose status
has changed to Contract City Inmate, will not be included in the calculation of the number
of Contract City Imnates, if such individuals are removed from the Jail within seventy-two
(72) hours of such change in status.
For the purpose of determining the number of Contract Cities Imnates only, and not for
billing purposes, Imnates held on multiple warrants or sentences by the County which
include one or more city warrants or sentences in addition to a County and/or state warrant
or sentence, and Contract Cities Inmates that have been booked into the Jail and the
Contract City has not been notified of such booking shall not be considered a Contract
Cities Inmate . Also, Contract Cities Imnates housed in the Jail will not be considered
Contract Cities Inmates for the purpose of determining the number of City Inmates.
6.4 The Jail's capacity limit for Contract City Medical Inmates is thirty (30). The Jail's
capacity limit for Contract City Psychiatric Inmates is one -hundred -fifty-one (151). For the
purpose of this Section the Medical and Psychiatric Inmate population will be determined
following the definitions in Sections 1.21 and 1.25 at the time of the Jail's Official Daily
Population Count.
6.5 When the Jail has reached its capacity limit for either Medical or Psychiatric Inmates as set
forth in Section 6.4, the County will provide notice to the City by phone or electronic mail.
Such notification will be made to the person designated in Section 11.11 of this Agreement.
At the time this notification is made the County may request that the City take custody of
a sufficient number of its Medical or Psychiatric Inmates to reduce the number of Medical
or Psychiatric Inmates to the capacity limits detailed in Section 6.4, or the County may
inform the City that the County is willing to continue to house these Inmates.
6.6 County requests under Section 6.5 will be made as follows. The billable city (under this
Agreement or other jail service agreements between the County and cities that have
identical provisions as this Section) with the Inmate most recently admitted as Medical or
Psychiatric Innate will be asked to take custody of that inmate. This process will be
repeated until such time as the Medical and Psychiatric populations are reduced below
capacity limits, or the Jail is willing to house these Inmates.
6.7 If the County, pursuant to Sections 6.5 and 6.6, requests that the City take custody of
Medical or Psychiatric Inmates, the City shall comply with the County's request. The City
shall take custody of its' Medical or Psychiatric Inmates by picking them up no later than
twenty-four (24) hours after the County's request. If the City has not picked -up the Medical
or Psychiatric Inmate within twenty-four (24) hours of the County's request, the County
shall deliver the Medical or Psychiatric inmate to the City's designated drop-off location
or backup location. In either case, the City's designee must accept the Medical or
Psychiatric Inmate from the County, and must be available to do so seven (7) days a week,
twenty-four (24) hours a day. In all cases, the County shall provide the receiving entity
with Continuity of Care Records, in a sealed envelope, at the time custody is transferred.
The City will ensure that the City and the receiving entity comply with all applicable
confidentiality laws and rules. Similarly, the City will ensure that Continuity of Care
' Within eight (8)7110111-s of the County's request, Life City may provide the County with the names of other Medical
Inmates to substitute for the Medical Inmates identified for pick-up by the County. In the event the City identifies
substitute Medical Inmates that are City Inmates, the provisions of Section 6 will continue to apply. In the event the
City identifies substitute Medical Inmates that are the responsibility of a different city (Substitute City) that is party
to this Agreement or ajail services agreement with the King County containing these same provisions, the Substitute
City will be responsible for picking -up the substitute Medical Inmates within 24-hours of the initial request for pick-
up. In the event the Substitute City fails to pick-up its Medical Inmates within 24-hours of initial notification to the
City. the County may deliver the Medical Inmates named in the original notification to the City's designated drop-off
location or backup location. The procedures outlined in this footnote will also apply to Psychiatric Inmates.
0
Records are provided to the County at the time custody of a City Inmate receiving the level
of care consistent with a Medical or Psychiatric Inmate is transferred to the County.
6.8 If the County, in its sole discretion, decides to transport Medical or Psychiatric Inmates to
the City's designated drop-off location or backup location within King County,
Washington, the County will do so without charge. Should the County agree to a drop-off
location or backup location outside of King County, Washington, the City will pay all
transportation costs for Medical or Psychiatric Inmates taken to the designated drop off
location or backup location. In no case will the County be obligated to transport a Medical
or Psychiatric Inmate out-of-state.

The application of all billing rules in conjunction with Section 1.6 of this Agreement comprises the method
for determining the principal basis for booking or confining a person. The County's billing system examines
all open and active charges and holds for each calendar day and applies the billing priority rules and tie
breaker rules as set forth below. Then the billable agency is determined from the billable charge(s) or hold(s)
and the application of exception rules, for example, the special DUI sentencing rule or the special six -hour
rule.
Rilline Priority Rules
The Billing Priority Group is determined in the following order:
1.

Attachment I-2
Inmate Transfers: Transfer Request Exemption Criteria, Notice and Billing
(Relating to Section 1.6.9)
A. In the event of one or more of the following transfer exception criteria are met, a transfer may be
denied by the County, in which case the person for whom the City has sought a transfer remains a
City Inmate:
(1) Inmate has medical/health conditions/ treatments preventing transfer.
(2) Transfer location refuses Inmate.
(3) Inmate refuses to be transported and poses a security risk.
(4) Inmate misses transport due to being at court or other location.
(5) City refuses to sign transfer paperwork requiring the City to arrange transportation for
Imnate back to King County, if needed, when City sentence ends.
B. If the County has refused a transfer request and thereafter determines that it no longer needs to
detain the person and the person would as a result become a City Inmate, then the County will
provide notice to the City that it will become billable for the Imnate. The City will not incur a
Maintenance Charge on the day of notice. If the City transfers the Inmate during the six calendar
days immediately following the day of notice, it will not incur a Maintenance Charge for the first
calendar day following notice, but will incur a Maintenance Charge for each subsequent calendar
day until the Imnate is transferred. If the City does not transfer the Inmate from the Jail during this
six -day period, the City is billable beginning the calendar day following the day of notice from the
County.
C. The terms of this Attachment I-2 may be amended by administrative agreement evidenced by
execution in writing by the Chief Executive Officer of the City and King County Executive.
17
EXHIBIT II
Exception to Billing Procedure
For persons serving the one- and two-day commitments pursuant to the mandatory DUI sentence grid who
report directly from the community to the Jail for incarceration, Inmate day shall not be defined according
to Section 1.16 of the Agreement. Instead, Inmate day shall be defined as a twenty -four-hour period
beginning at the time of booking. Any portion of a twenty -four-hour period shall be counted as a full Inmate
day. The number of days billed for each sentence shall not exceed the sentence lengths specified on the
court commitment.
Two examples are provided for illustration:
Two-day sentence served on consecutive days:
John Doe
Booked 7/1/21 0700
Released 7/3/21 0700
Number of Innate days = 2
Two-day sentence served on non-consecutive days:
John Doe
Booked 7/l/21 0700
Temporary Release 7/2/21 0700
Return to Jail 7/8/21 0700
Number of Inmate days = 2
Released 7/9/21 0700
The Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention will apply this definition of Inmate day to the City's direct
DUI one and two-day Inmates by adjusting the City's monthly bill before it is sent to the City. If the changes
are not made for some reason, the City will notify the Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention, which
will make the necessary adjustments.
18
EXHIBIT III
Calculation of Fees, Charges and Surcharges
Starting on the Effective Date of this Agreement, the City shall pay the fees, charges, and surcharges with
such annual adjustments for inflation as described below. Starting on the Effective Date of this Agreement,
the City shall also pay offsite medical care charges as detailed below
2021 is the Base Year for fees, charges, and surcharges and is the basis from which the fees, charges, and
surcharges are to be annually adjusted by applying the inflators set forth in Subsection 5.a. of this
Exhibit II1.
1. MAINTENANCE CHARGE AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE CHARGE
The Maintenance Charge shall be calculated as described below.
a. The Maintenance Charge starting January 1, 2021, and for the remainder of the calendar year
2021, excluding any adjustments for Capital Expenditure Charges, will be $204.30. When
combined with the Capital Expenditure Charges, the Maintenance Charge for calendar year
2021 is $210.19. The Maintenance Charge shall be inflated in 2022 as described in Section 5.
The City will not be charged a Maintenance Charge for a City Innate where the Inmate has
been offsite (e.g. housed outside of the Jail) for all twenty-four (24) hours of a Surcharge Day
and subject to 1:1 Guarding Surcharge for the entirety of such twenty-four (24)-hour period.
In addition to the annual adjustment to the Maintenance Charge described above, King County
will increase the Maintenance Charge to capture the cost of Capital Expenditures. Capital
Expenditures are defined as the cost of repairing and renovating current jail capacity and
facilities and support and administrative facilities that benefit Jail operations. Additional Capital
Expenditures will be included in the Maintenance Charge if such expenditures benefit City
Inmates. Any Capital Expenditure that solely benefits County Inmates will not be charged to
the City. Capital Expenditures do not include Jail Bed Expansion Projects. Capital Expenditures
do not include Major Maintenance.
1. Capital Expenditures will be calculated in proportion to the square footage that benefits
adult detention. Cities will be billed their proportionate share based on the total number
of Inmate Days (as defined in Section 1.16). By August 15 of 2021, DAJD will estimate
the total number of Inmate Days for 2022, and provide notice to the City of the Capital
Expenditure Charge to be included in the Maintenance Charge for 2022.
ii. Upon request of the City, the County shall provide its six (6)-year CIP and its six (6)-
year major maintenance plan to the City. The County will provide a detailed line item
budget of each Capital Expenditure. If the City disputes that the Capital Expenditure
benefits City Inmates or otherwise disputes the inclusion of the Capital Expenditure or
any portion of the Capital Expenditures' budget in the maintenance fee, the matter will
be resolved under the dispute resolution processes described herein. Capital
Expenditures will not be charged to the City to the extent such Capital Expenditures are
covered by federal grants, state grants, insurance proceeds, capital maintenance reserves
or voter approved capital funding for jail related improvements.
iii. Capital Expenditures, if debt financed, shall begin being charged when debt service
payments begin for the permanent financing of the Capital Expenditure and shall
19
continue until the end of the debt amortization unless the debt amortization is less than
fifteen (15) years, in which case the charges to the City will be amortized over fifteen
(15) years. If the Capital Expenditure is not debt financed, Capital Expenditure charges
shall be based on actual expenditures. The County will make available documentation
evidencing such expenditures.
iv. Beginning January 1, 2021, and continuing through calendar year 2021, the Capital
Expenditure Charge for ISP for the City is $4.90 and the Capital Expenditure Charge for
the CSSP is $0.99, for a combined total Capital Expenditure Charge of $5.89 to be added
to the Maintenance Charge set forth in subparagraphs a and b above.
2. BOOKING FEE
a. The booking fee shall be based on whether or not the City is using the County's Personal
Recognizance (PR) screeners for individuals it brings to a County jail facility to be booked. The
two booking fees starting January 1, 2021 and for the remainder of the calendar year 2021 will
be initially set as follows:
i. The Base Booking Fee shall be $149.31. This is the booking fee payable by Contract
Cities that are not using the County's PR screeners. This Booking Fee shall include
40.86% of the total Budgeted Jail Costs associated with booking (including Jail Health
Intake Services); this percentage of booking costs to be included in the Booking Fee shall
remain fixed through the term of this Agreement.
ii. The Standard Booking Fee shall be $219.16. This is the booking fee payable by
Contract Cities using the County's PR screeners. This booking fee is composed of the
Base Booking Fee plus the fee associated with the County's PR screeners.
b. If the City has a court order on file as of the Effective Date, confirming that the City and not the
County will have authorization to provide PR screening for City Inmates, then the City will be
qualified for the Base Booking Fee as of the Effective Date. To qualify for the Base Booking
Fee in 2022, the City must either provide a court order not later than July 1, 2021 confirming
that the City and not the County will have authorization to provide PR screening for City
Inmates, or a previously issued court order must remain in effect. If an authorizing court order
is revoked or expires and is not renewed, the City will no longer qualify for the Base Booking
Fee.
The Booking Fee shall be inflated in 2022 as described in section 5 below.
3. SURCHARGES
In addition to payment of the Maintenance Charge and the Booking Fees, the City shall pay Surcharges
associated with services provided to City Inmates as described below. The types of services provided to an
Inmate associated with each Surcharge, and a general description of each Surcharge, is set forth in
Attachment 111-1.
The initial Surcharge amounts described in paragraphs (a) — (d) below shall apply from the January 1, 2021,
through December 31, 2021, and shall inflated for 2022 as described in Section 5 below.
a. Infirmary Care. For Medical Inmates, the City shall pay an Infirmary Care Surcharge of
$316.35 for each Surcharge Day.
20
Non -Acute Psychiatric Care. For Non -Acute Psychiatric Inmates, the City shall pay a
Psychiatric Care Surcharge of $96.99 for each Surcharge Day.
c. Acute Psychiatric Care. For Acute Psychiatric Inmates, the City shall pay an Acute Psychiatric
Care Surcharge of $254.48 for each Surcharge Day.
The Acute Psychiatric Surcharge for each Surcharge Day shall be $351.47.
The Psychiatric Care Surcharge for each Surcharge Day of $96.99 is added to the
Acute Psychiatric Housing surcharge for a total Acute Psychiatric Care Surcharge of
$351.47.
d. 1:1 Guarding Surcharge. The 1:1 Guarding Surcharge is the charge imposed when the County
dedicates an individual officer to guard a City Inmate. The Surcharge shall be $72.94 per guard
for each hour or portion thereof, and as further described in Attachment III-1.
A Surcharge Day is defined as a 24-hour period from midnight to midnight, or any portion
thereof, in which an Inmate receives any of the services within the Surcharges listed in
subparagraphs (a) — (c) above; provided that with respect to the Infirmary Care Surcharge,
Psychiatric Care Surcharge and Acute Psychiatric Surcharge, a maximum of one (1) charge may
be imposed within the twenty-four (24)-hour period for a single inmate, and the charge imposed
shall be the highest applicable charge. For example, if an inmate is placed in Acute Psychiatric
Care, released to the general population, and then again placed in Acute Psychiatric Care all
within the same twenty-four (24)-hour period (midnight to midnight), a single Acute Psychiatric
Care Surcharge will be imposed. Similarly, if an Inmate is placed in Acute Psychiatric Care and
then in Non -Acute Psychiatric Care within the twenty-four (24)-hour midnight to midnight
period, then a single Acute Psychiatric Care charge will be imposed.
4. OFFSITE MEDICAL CARE CHARGES
In addition to the Maintenance Charge, the Booking Fee, and the Surcharges detailed above, the City shall
be responsible for payment of all Offsite Medical Care Charges incurred by a City Inmate.
5. INFLATORS AND RE -SETS OF FEES CHARGES, AND SURCHARGES
a. Inflators. Effective January 1, 2022, all fees, charges, and surcharges, excluding: (1) Offsite

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 12, 2021
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy J. Hwang, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Jail Services Contract — Issaquah City Jail
Financial Impacts:
In an attempt to secure additional housing options as we continue to utilize contract jail
facilities to manage our jail population, we have been presented with the option to increase
guaranteed beds at the Issaquah City Jail. In 2020, we had five (5) guaranteed beds and in
2021 we would increase to ten (10) guaranteed beds at $110 per bed per day. There would be
no financial impact to the city, as this cost would be fulfilled by reallocating funds already
allotted within the City's Jail Services budget.
Back —,round Information:
In 2020, we separated from SCORE Jail as an Owner City because the financial burden
became unsustainable. In 2009, SCORE was established to serve seven Owner Cities, with a
goal of providing consolidated correctional services at a lower total cost to the participating
Owner Cities. In the case of Federal Way, there had been a significant jail cost increase in
the seven years we had been an Owner City. In 2012, Federal Way's total jail budget was
$2,305,280, a 17% M&O obligation (based on 60 ADP). In 2018, the SCORE jail budget
swelled to $6,293,163, a 30.23% M&O obligation (80 ADP). The 2018 total jail budget was
$6,415,972, which included other jail expenses outside of SCORE. The steady incremental
increase for those seven years, totaling 20 more ADP, had increased our SCORE budget by
$3,987,883 — this reflected an increase of 173% since the inception of our participation.
The SCORE Financial Alternatives Study Subcommittee was created to research financial
alternatives for Owner Cities. At that time, no feasible alternative option existed or has been
presented for Owner Cities to remedy the unsustainable financial obligation for the City of
Federal Way.
On September 4, 2018, Federal Way City Council unanimously passed a resolution
authorizing the withdrawal from the SCORE Inter -local Agreement. In 2020, as an
alternative to SCORE Jail, the FWPD entered into Jail Services contracts with King County
Rev. 7/18
Jail, Kent City Jail, Yakima County Jail, Issaquah City Jail, and the Puyallup City Jail to
manage our jail population.
Since the decision to leave SCORE, we have successfully managed our jail population within
the allotted budget and ended the year with significant jail budget savings. Having the option
to secure additional guaranteed beds at the Issaquah City Jail, at a discounted rate over non -
guaranteed rates, assists us in appropriately handling our inmate housing needs while staying
within our allotted Jail Services budget.
Rev. 7/18
INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITIES OF ISSAQUAH, WASHINGTON AND FEDERAL WAY,
WASHINGTON, FOR THE HOUSING OF INMATES IN THE ISSAQUAH CITY JAIL

Whereas, the governing bodies of each of the parties hereto have decided to enter into this
Agreement as authorized by RCW 39.34, RCW 70.48 and other Washington law, as may be amended;

Susan Honda, Council President; Dan Altmayer; Frank Bannister; Bob Celski; Roger Flygare;
Jack Garfield (Eagle Scout); Gene Hunt; Bob Kellogg; Diana Noble-Gulliford; Keith Selthofer
Lori Steinhorst; and Dick Whipple.
The group has been extensively studying tributes and memorials for veterans in our area as well
as regionally, nationally, and internationally. After coming to a consensus about features and
elements from the other locations, the members attended community events and informally
polled citizens on what they would like to see as a tribute to our veterans and their families.
There was also discussion of fundraising strategies, whether or not to form a non-profit, or work
with other community groups. In February just before the COVID-19 outbreak, the group held
a Saturday retreat in order to build a consensus on next steps. It was around this time the first
$10,000 grant was facilitated by King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer from the
King County Veterans Program.
In mid -December outside the PAEC, King County Councilmember von Reichbauer brought
together a group of veterans and the Mayor to announce the additional funding of $9,999 and to
take a photo. He took an impromptu and unofficial poll to gauge opinion on using the funding
to place a flag pole, service medallions, plaque, and lights at the top of the Town Center steps
just adjacent to the PAEC. The group was in favor of the idea, and the Mayor announced he
would immediately convene a meeting of the official Veterans Advisory Group to get their
input on the idea.
In light of the timing for the two grants of $19,999 from King County, this left a short window
to allocate the funds. A few days later on December 16', the Mayor convened the official
advisory committee including the Council President, to formally discuss the proposal.
Page 2
The group was updated on a study of a proposal that had been previously discussed to site the
tribute for veterans at the southeast corner of Town Square Park. However, a study by our
Parks Department concluded that there were significant drainage and infrastructure issues which
would result in exorbitant costs to use that location.
After discussion, the unanimous decision by the group was to recommend to the Council to
move forward with a flag pole at the top of the Town Center Steps utilizing this grant funding.
The project would also include a medallion or marker for each of the service branches at the
base of the flag pole, which would be approximately 30-35' in height. The advisory group also
unanimously felt that this project is the beginning of a Veterans Memorial and does not reflect a
final project --but it would be a definitive start.
In light of the group's recommendation, the Mayor is recommending that the Parks, Recreation,
Human Services, & Public Safety Committee approve the above -referenced proposal from our
Veterans Advisory Group to use King County Veterans Program grants funding to honor our
veterans and their families.
Specifically, the advisory group's proposal is to place a flag pole, service medallions, plaque,
and lighting to be located at the top of the Town Center Steps adjacent to the Performing Arts
and Event Center.
This project would be funded by King County Veterans Program grants totaling $19,999 that
was secured by King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer.
The Mayor's recommendation is to approve this proposal and forward to Council.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 7, 2020
TO: Land Use & Transportation Committee
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: EJ Walsh, P.E., Public Works Director
Rick Perez, P.E., City Traffic Engineer
SUBJECT: School Speed Limit Ordinance Amendment
Financial Impacts:
School speed limit sign installation and maintenance is included in Public Works Department Traffic Division
operating budget. This code amendment codifies existing practice, thus there is no financial impact.
Backa`ound Information:
As part of the grant application submitted for the current Lakota Middle School Safe Routes to School project, staff proposed to
extend the school speed limit to include SW Dash Point Road between 21st Avenue SW and SW 312th Street, consistent with
crosswalks used by students walking to Lakota Middle School. As part of the project review, since SW Dash Point Road is a
state highway, Washington State Department of Transportation requires us to conduct an analysis justifying the school zone and
have ordinance language adopting school speed limits. Existing code does not address school speed limits.
To correct this, the draft ordinance language adds a new section that provides the Public Works Director the authority to establish
school speed limits consistent with state statute. In reviewing the chapter, some language reflects outdated terminology, which
this draft ordinance would correct:
1. Replacing references to the State Highway Commission with the State Secretary of Transportation;
2. Replacing references to "F.A.I. No. 5" with "Interstate 5";
3. Replacing "curvation" with "curvature".

The above regulations stemmed from the Regulatory Ruling, Order, and Regulation 85 FCC
51867 ("FCC Order") imposes limitations on the processing of all permits associated with the
deployment of small wireless facilities. The FCC Order was subject to multiple appeals, which
were consolidated before the Federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral argument for this
matter was heard in February 2020 with the Declaratory Ruling and Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking ("FCC Rules") issued in June 10, 2020. The city extended the interim codes to
provide enough time to review the FCC Rules and amend city code accordingly.
Proposed Amendments
The proposed amendments will establish wireless communication facility permitting and design
standards and reorganize the code to consolidate all wireless facility standards into one title.
Original adoption of wireless telecommunication facility code separated the process for facilities
located on city property (right-of-way and city -owned property) (Title 4) from those located on
private property (Title 19). The proposed amendments provide consistency for all wireless
communication facility construction and removes conflicts between chapters.
A summary of the proposed amendments are as follows:
1) FWRC 4.22 Franchise for Use of Right -of -Way:
a) Removed Section 4.22.060: redundant section referring to application review timelines
outlined in Section 19.256.
2) FWRC 4.23 Small Wireless Deployment — Small Wireless Permits:
a) Refers to the small wireless requirements outlined in Section 19.256.
3) FWRC 4.24 Eligible Facilities Requests:
December 7, 2020
Land Use and Transportation Committee
Amendments to FWRC Chapters 4 and 19 — Wireless Communication Standards
Page 3
a) Refers to the eligible facilities request requirements outlined in Section 19.257.
4) FWRC 19.256: repealed and replaced. Consolidates all zoning, permitting, and design
standards for small wireless and major facilities located within or outside of the rights -of -
way.
5) FWRC 19.257: New section for Eligible Facility Requests. Covers major and small wireless
facilities within or outside of the rights -of -way.
Process and Timeline
The proposed amendments are primarily house -keeping items that re -organize the wireless
communication code to consolidate zoning, permitting, and design requirements into one
location and are updated to ensure consistency with federal and state law.
The proposed code amendments have been shared with industry soliciting feedback. In addition,
these code amendments have undergone SEPA review receiving a determination of non -
significance, were subject of a public hearing and review at the December 2, 2020 Planning
Commission meeting, and were provided to Washington State Department of Commerce as
Notice of Intent to Adopt land use regulations. As of the date of this memo, no comments have
been received. Any comments received will be shared and incorporated (if applicable) as part of
the council adoption process.

(3) Construction Time limit. Construction of the small wireless facility must be completed within
12 months after the approval date by the city. The permittee may request one extension of no
more than six months, if the permittee provides an explanation as to why the small wireless
facility cannot be constructed within the original 12-month period.
(4) Site Safety and Maintenance. The permittee must maintain the small wireless facilities in safe
and working condition. The permittee shall be responsible for the removal of any graffiti or other
Ordinance No. 21- Page 17 of 51
vandalism of the small wireless facility and shall keep the site neat and orderly, including but not
limited to following any maintenance or modifications on the site.
(5) Operational Activity. The permittee shall commence operation of the small wireless facility
no later than six months after installation. The permittee may request one extension for an
additional six-month period if the permittee can show that such operational activity is delayed
due to inability to connect to electrical or backhaul facilities.
19.256.090 Small wireless facility modification.
(1) If a permittee desires to modify small wireless facilities, including but not limited to
expanding or changing the antenna type, increasing the equipment enclosure, placing additional
pole -mounted or ground -mounted equipment, or modifying the concealment elements, then the
permittee shall apply for a new small wireless permit.
(2) A small wireless permit shall not be required for routine maintenance and repair of a small
wireless facility within the rights -of -way, or the replacement of an antenna or equipment of
similar size, weight, and height; provided, that such replacement does not defeat the concealment
elements used in the original small wireless facility and does not impact the structural integrity
of the pole. Further, a small wireless permit shall not be required for replacing equipment within
the equipment enclosure or reconfiguration of fiber or power to the small wireless facilities. An
annual blanket right-of-way permit will be required for such routine maintenance, repair, or
replacement and can cover all facilities owned by the applicant.
19.256.100 Small wireless facility aesthetic, concealment, and design standards.
(1) All small wireless facilities shall conform with the following general aesthetic, concealment,
and design standards, as applicable:
Ordinance No. 21- Page 18 of 51
(a) Except for locations in the right-of-way, small wireless facilities are not permitted on any
property containing a residential use in residential zones.
(b) Ground -mounted equipment in the rights -of -way is prohibited, unless such facilities are
placed underground, or the applicant can demonstrate that pole -mounted or undergrounded
equipment is technically infeasible. If ground -mounted equipment is necessary, then the
applicant shall submit a concealment element plan substantially conforming to the applicable
standards in FWRC 19.256.100(5)(c) and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act
("ADA"), city construction standards, and state and federal regulations in order to provide a clear
and safe passage within the public right-of-way. Generators located in the rights -of -way are
prohibited.
(c) No signage, message, or identification other than the manufacturer's identification or
identification required by governing law is allowed to be portrayed on any antenna or equipment
enclosure. Any permitted signage shall be located on the equipment enclosures and be of the
minimum amount possible to achieve the intended purpose (no larger than four by six inches);
provided, that signs may be permitted as concealment element techniques where appropriate and
safety signage as required by applicable laws, regulations, and standards is permitted.
(d) Antennas and related equipment shall not be illuminated except for security reasons,
required by a federal or state authority, or unless approved as part of the required concealment
element requirements pursuant to FWRC 19.256.100(5)(c).
(e) The design standards in this Chapter are intended to be used solely for the purpose of
concealment and siting. Nothing contained in this chapter shall be interpreted or applied in a
manner which dictates the use of a particular technology. When strict application of these
Ordinance No. 21 _ Page 19 of 51
requirements would render the small wireless facility technically infeasible or otherwise have the
effect of prohibiting wireless service, alternative forms of aesthetic design or concealment may
be permitted which provide similar or greater protections from negative visual impacts to the
streetscape.
(2) General Pole Standards. In addition to complying with the general standards in FWRC
19.256.100(1), all small wireless facilities on any type of pole shall conform to the following
general pole design requirements as well as the applicable pole specific standards:
(a) The preferred location of a small wireless facility on a pole is the location with the least
visible impact.
(b) The city may consider the cumulative visual effects of small wireless facilities mounted
on poles within the rights -of -way when assessing proposed siting locations so as to not adversely
affect the visual character of the city. This provision shall neither be applied to limit the number
of permits issued when no alternative sites are reasonably available nor to impose a technological
requirement on the applicant.
(c) Small wireless facilities are not permitted on traffic signal poles unless denial of the siting
could be a prohibition or effective prohibition of the applicant's ability to provide
telecommunications service in violation of 47 USC 253 and 332.
(d) Replacement poles and new poles shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act,
city construction and sidewalk clearance standards, city development standards, city ordinances,
and state and federal laws and regulations in order to provide a clear and safe passage within the
rights -of -way. Further, the location of any replacement or new pole must: be physically possible,
Ordinance No. 21- Page 20 of 51
comply with applicable traffic warrants, not interfere with utility or safety fixtures (e.g., fire
hydrants, traffic control devices), and not adversely affect the public welfare, health, or safety.
(e) Replacement poles shall be located as near as possible to the existing pole and the
abandoned pole shall be removed.
(f) Side arm mounts for antennas or equipment must be the minimum extension necessary,
and for wooden poles may be no more than 12 inches off the pole, and for nonwooden poles no
more than six inches off the pole.
(3) Nonwooden Pole Design Standards. In addition to complying with the general standards in
FWRC 19.256.100(1) and FWRC 19.256.100(2), small wireless facilities attached to existing or
replacement nonwooden poles in the right-of-way or nonwooden poles outside of the right-of-
way shall conform to the following design criteria:
(a) Antennas and the associated equipment enclosures (excluding disconnect switches and
other appurtenant devices) shall be fully concealed within the pole, unless such concealment is
technically infeasible, or is incompatible with the pole design, then the antennas and associated
equipment enclosures must be camouflaged to appear as an integral part of the pole or flush -
mounted to the pole, meaning no more than 6 inches off of the pole, and must be the minimum
size necessary for the intended purpose, not to exceed the volumetric dimensions of small
wireless facilities. If the equipment enclosure is permitted on the exterior of the pole, the
applicant is required to place the equipment enclosure behind any banners or road signs that may
be on the pole; provided, that such location does not interfere with the operation of the banners
or signs, or the small wireless facility.
Ordinance No. 21- Page 21 of 51
For purposes of this section, "incompatible with the pole design" may include a demonstration
by the applicant that the visual impact to the pole or the streetscape would be reduced by
placing the antennas and equipment exterior to the pole.
(b) The farthest point of any antenna or equipment enclosure may not extend more than 28
inches from the face of the pole.
(c) All conduit, cables, wires, and fiber must be routed internally in the pole. Full
concealment of all conduit, cables, wires, and fiber is required within mounting brackets,
shrouds, canisters, or sleeves if attaching to exterior antennas or equipment.
(d) An antenna on top of an existing pole may not extend more than six feet above the height
of the existing pole and the diameter may not exceed 16 inches, unless the applicant can
demonstrate that more space is needed. To the extent technically feasible, the antennas shall be
integrated into the pole design so that they appear as a continuation of the original pole,
including colored or painted to match the pole, and shall be shrouded or screened to blend with
the pole except for canister antennas which shall not require screening. To the extent technically
feasible, all cabling and mounting hardware/brackets from the bottom of the antenna to the top of
the pole shall be fully concealed and integrated with the pole.
(e) Any replacement pole shall substantially conform to the design of the pole it is replacing
(including but not limited to color, shape and style) or the neighboring pole design standards
utilized within the contiguous right-of-way.
(f) The height of any replacement pole and antenna(s) may not extend more than 10 feet
above the height of the existing pole or the minimum additional height necessary; provided, that
the height of the replacement pole cannot be extended further by additional antenna height.
Ordinance No. 21- Page 22 of 51
(g) The diameter of a replacement pole shall comply with the city's setback and sidewalk
clearance requirements and shall, to the extent technically feasible, not be more than a 25 percent
increase of the existing pole measured at the base of the pole, unless additional diameter is
needed in order to conceal equipment within the base of the pole, and shall comply with the
requirements in subsection (5)(c) of this section.
(h) The use of the pole for the siting of a small wireless facility shall be considered secondary
to the primary function of the pole. If the primary function of a pole serving as the host site for a
small wireless facility becomes unnecessary, the pole shall not be retained for the sole purpose of
accommodating the small wireless facility and the small wireless facility and all associated
equipment shall be removed.
(4) Wooden pole design standards. In addition to complying with the general standards in FWRC
19.256.100(1) and FWRC 19.256.100(2), small wireless facilities attached to existing or
replacement wooden utility poles and other wooden poles inside or outside the right-of-way shall
conform to the following design criteria:
(a) The wooden pole at the proposed location may be replaced with a taller pole for the
purpose of accommodating a small wireless facility; provided, that the replacement pole shall not
exceed a height that is a maximum of 10 feet taller than the existing pole, unless a further height
increase is required and confirmed in writing by the pole owner and that such height extension is
the minimum extension possible to provide sufficient separation and/or clearance from electrical
and wireline facilities.
(b) A pole extender may be used instead of replacing an existing pole, but may not increase
the height of the existing pole by more than 10 feet, unless a further height increase is required
Ordinance No. 21- Page 23 of 51
and confirmed in writing by the pole owner and that such height increase is the minimum
extension possible to provide sufficient separation and/or clearance from electrical and wireline
facilities. A "pole extender" as used herein is an object affixed between the pole and the antenna
for the purpose of increasing the height of the antenna above the "pole. The pole extender shall be
painted to approximately match the color of the pole and shall substantially match the diameter
of the pole measured at the top of the pole.
(c) Replacement wooden poles must either match the approximate color and materials of the
replaced pole or shall be the standard new wooden pole used by the pole owner in the city.
(d) The diameter of a replacement pole shall comply with the city's setback and sidewalk
clearance requirements and shall not be more than a 25 percent increase of the existing utility
pole measured at the base of the pole or the otherwise standard size used by the pole owner.
(e) All cables and wires shall be routed through conduits along the outside of the pole. The
outside conduit shall be colored or painted to match the pole. The number of conduits shall be
minimized to the number technically necessary to accommodate the small wireless facility.
(f) To the extent technically feasible, antennas, equipment enclosures, and all ancillary
equipment, boxes and conduit shall be colored or painted to match the approximate color of the
surface of the wooden pole on which they are attached.
(g) Antennas shall not be mounted more than 12 inches from the surface of the wooden pole.
(h) Antennas should be placed in an effort to minimize visual clutter and obtrusiveness.
Multiple antennas are permitted on a wooden pole; provided, that each antenna shall not be more
than three cubic feet in volume.
Ordinance No. 21- Page 24 of 51
(i) A canister antenna may be mounted on top of an existing or replacement wooden pole,
which may not exceed the height requirements described in subsection (4)(a) of this section. A
canister antenna mounted on the top of a wooden pole shall not exceed 16 inches in diameter,
measured at the top of the pole, and to the extent technically feasible, shall be colored or painted
to match the pole. The canister antenna must be placed to look as if it is an extension of the pole.
In the alternative, the applicant may install a side -mounted canister antenna, so long as the inside
edge of the antenna is no more than 12 inches from the surface of the wooden pole. All cables
shall be concealed either within the canister antenna or within a sleeve between the antenna and
the wooden pole.
0) The farthest point of any antenna or equipment enclosure may not extend more than 28
inches from the face of the pole.
(k) An omnidirectional antenna may be mounted on the top of an existing wooden pole,
provided such antenna is no more than four feet in height and is mounted directly on the top of a
pole or attached to a sleeve made to look like the exterior of the pole as close to the top of the
pole as technically feasible. All cables shall be concealed within the sleeve between the bottom
of the antenna and the mounting bracket.
(1) All related antenna equipment, including but not limited to ancillary equipment, radios,
cables, associated shrouding, microwaves, and conduit which are mounted on wooden poles,
shall not be mounted more than six inches from the surface of the pole, unless a further distance
is technically required and is confirmed in writing by the pole owner.
(m) Equipment for small wireless facilities must be attached to the wooden pole, unless
otherwise permitted to be ground mounted pursuant to subsection (4)(a) of this section. The
Ordinance No. 21- Page 25 of 51
equipment must be placed in the smallest enclosure possible for the intended purpose. The
equipment enclosure and all other wireless equipment associated with the utility pole, including
wireless equipment associated with the antenna, and any preexisting associated equipment on the
pole, may not exceed 28 cubic feet. Multiple equipment enclosures may be acceptable if
designed to more closely integrate with the pole design and do not cumulatively exceed 28 cubic
feet. The applicant is encouraged to place the equipment enclosure(s) behind any banners or road
signs that may be on the pole; provided, that such location does not interfere with the operation
of the banners or signs, or the small wireless facility.
(n) An applicant who desires to enclose both its antennas and equipment within one unified
enclosure may do so; provided, that such enclosure is the minimum size necessary for its
intended purpose and the enclosure and all other wireless equipment associated with the pole,
including wireless equipment associated with the antenna and any preexisting associated
equipment on the pole does not exceed 28 cubic feet. The unified enclosure may not be placed
more than six inches from the surface of the pole, unless a further distance is required and
confirmed in writing by the pole owner. To the extent possible, the unified enclosure shall be
placed so as to appear as an integrated part of the pole or behind banners or signs; provided, that
such location does not interfere with the operation of the banners or signs.
(o) The visual effect of the small wireless facility on all other aspects of the appearance of
the wooden pole shall be minimized to the greatest extent possible.
(p) The use of the wooden pole for the siting of a small wireless facility shall be considered
secondary to the primary function of the pole. If the primary function of a pole serving as the
host site for a small wireless facility becomes unnecessary, the pole shall not be retained for the
Ordinance No. 21- Page 26 of 51
sole purpose of accommodating the small wireless facility and the small wireless facility and all
associated equipment shall be removed.
(5) Small wireless facilities on new poles in the rights -of -way or in a design zone. In addition to
complying with the general standards in FWRC 19.256.100(1) and FWRC 19.256.100(2), small
wireless facilities proposed to be attached to new poles or in a design zone shall comply with
following:
(a) New poles within the rights -of -way are only permitted if the applicant can establish that:
(i) The proposed small wireless facility cannot be located on an existing utility pole or
light pole, electrical transmission tower or on a site outside of the public rights -of -way such as a
public park, public property, building, transmission tower or in or on a nonresidential use in a
residential zone, whether by roof or panel mount or separate structure;
(ii) The proposed small wireless facility receives approval for a concealment element
design, as described in this subsection;
(iii) The proposed small wireless facility also complies with Shoreline Management Act,
Growth Management Act, and State Environmental Policy Act, if applicable; and
(iv) No new poles shall be located in a critical area or associated buffer required by the
city's environmentally critical areas ordinance, Chapter 19.145 FWRC, except when determined
to be exempt pursuant to said ordinance.
(b) An application for a new pole is subject to administrative review by the Director.
(c) All new poles shall conform to the city's standard pole design established in the city's
public works development standards. If no existing metered service is available, the applicant
Ordinance No. 21_ Page 27 of 51
shall provide new metered electrical service. If the city's standard pole design is technically
infeasible, the new pole shall meet the following:
(i) The concealment element design shall include the design of the screening, fencing, or
other concealment technology for a tower, pole, or equipment enclosure, and all related
transmission equipment or facilities associated with the proposed small wireless facility,
including but not limited to fiber and power connections.
(ii) The concealment element design should seek to minimize the visual obtrusiveness of
the small wireless facility. The proposed pole or structure should have similar designs to existing
neighboring poles in the rights -of -way, including similar height to the extent technically feasible.
If the proposed small wireless facility is placed on a replacement pole in a design district, then
the replacement pole shall be of the same general design as the pole it is replacing, unless the
Director otherwise approves a variation due to aesthetic or safety concerns. Any concealment
element design for a small wireless facility on a decorative pole should attempt to mimic the
design of such pole and integrate the small wireless facility into the design of the decorative
pole. Other concealment methods include, but are not limited to, integrating the installation with
architectural features or building design components, utilization of coverings or concealment
devices of similar material, color, and texture — or the appearance thereof — as the surface against
which the installation will be seen or on which it will be installed, landscape design, or other
camouflage strategies appropriate for the type of installation. Applicants are required to utilize
designs in which all conduit and wires are installed internally within the structure. Further,
applicant designs should, to the extent technically feasible, comply with the generally applicable
design standards adopted pursuant to this section.
Ordinance No. 21- Page 28 of.51
(iii) If the Director has already approved a concealment element design either for the
applicant or another small wireless facility along the same public right-of-way or for the same
pole type, then the applicant shall utilize a substantially similar concealment element design,
unless it can show that such concealment element design is not physically or technically feasible,
or that such design would undermine the generally applicable design standards.
(iv) Even if an alternative location is established pursuant to subsection (5)(a)(1) of this
section, the Director may determine that a new pole in the right-of-way is in fact a superior
alternative based on the impact to the city, the concealment element design, the city's
comprehensive plan and the added benefits to the community.
(v) Prior to the issuance of a permit to construct a new pole or ground -mounted
equipment in the right-of-way, the applicant must obtain a master lease agreement from the city
to locate such new pole or ground -mounted equipment. This requirement also applies to
replacement poles that are taller than the replaced pole, when the overall height of the
replacement pole and the proposed small wireless facility is more than 60 feet.
(6) Small wireless facilities attached to cables. In addition to complying with the applicable
general standards in FWRC 19.256.100(1), all small wireless facilities mounted on existing
cables strung between existing utility poles shall conform to the following standards:
(a) Each strand -mounted facility shall not exceed three cubic feet in volume;
(b) Only one strand -mounted facility is permitted per cable between any two existing poles
on an existing cable;
Ordinance No. 21- Page 29 of 5 1
(c) The strand -mounted devices shall be placed as close as feasible to the nearest utility pole,
in no event more than five feet from the pole unless that location is technically infeasible or is
not allowed by the pole owner for safety clearance;
(d) No strand -mounted device shall be located in or above the portion of the roadway open to
vehicular traffic;
(e) Ground -mounted equipment to accommodate a shared mounted facility is not permitted
except when placed in preexisting equipment cabinets or required by a third party electrical
service provider; and
(f) Pole -mounted equipment shall comply with the requirements of subsections (a) and (b) of
this section.
(g) Such strand -mounted devices must be installed to cause the least visual impact and
without excess exterior cabling or wires (other than the original strand).
(7) Small wireless facilities attached to existing buildings. In addition to complying with the
applicable general standards in FWRC 19.256.100(1), all small wireless facilities attached to
existing buildings shall conform to the following design criteria:
(a) Small wireless facilities may be mounted to the sides of a building if the antennas do not
interrupt the building's architectural theme.
(b) The interruption of architectural lines or horizontal or vertical reveals is discouraged.
(c) New architectural features such as columns, pilasters, corbels, or other ornamentation that
conceal antennas may be used if it complements the architecture of the existing building.
(d) Small wireless facilities shall utilize the smallest mounting brackets necessary in order to
provide the smallest offset from the building.
Ordinance No. 21- Page 30 of SI
(e) Skirts or shrouds shall be utilized on the sides and bottoms of antennas in order to conceal
mounting hardware, create a cleaner appearance, and minimize the visual impact of the antennas.
Exposed cabling/wiring is prohibited.
(f) To the extent technically feasible, small wireless facilities shall be painted and textured to
match the adjacent building surfaces.
19.256.110 Designated design zones for small wireless facilities.

19.256.140 Prioritized locations for major wireless communication facilities.
The following sites shall be the required order of location for proposed major WCFs, including
antenna and equipment enclosures. In order of preference, the prioritized locations for major
WCFs are as follows:
(1) Structures located in the BPA transmission easement. A major WCF may be located on any
existing support structure currently located in the easement upon which are located U.S.
Department of Energy/Bonneville Power Administration (`BPA") power lines regardless of
underlying zoning.
(2) Existing wireless sites and towers. A major WCF may be located on an existing site or tower
where a legal WCF is currently located regardless of underlying zoning. If an existing wireless
site or tower is located within a half -mile radius of a proposed major WCF location, the applicant
shall document why collocation on the existing wireless site or tower is not being proposed,
regardless of whether the existing site or tower is located within the jurisdiction of the city.
(3) Institutional uses and structures. If the city, a utility, institutional uses, or other public agency
consents to such location, a major WCF may be located on existing structures, such as water
towers, utility structures, fire stations, bridges, churches, schools, and other public buildings
within all zoning districts, provided the public facilities are not located within public rights -of -
way.
(4) Appropriate zoning districts. A major WCF may be located in or on other public or private
property, buildings, or structures within nonresidential zoning districts as allowed by the zoning
chart.
Ordinance No. 21- Page 34 of 51
(5) If the applicant demonstrates to the city's satisfaction that it is not technically feasible to site
in a prioritized location, or as expressly allowed by the zoning chart, the city reserves the right to
approve alternative site locations if a denial would be in violation of the 1996
Telecommunications Act, as determined by the city through a Process III review using the
following test: Would denial of the application effectively prohibit the provision of service in
violation of 47 USC 253 and/or 332?
19.256.150 Major wireless communication facility development standards.
The following development standards shall be followed in the design, siting, and construction of
a major WCF:
(1) Building- or structure -mounted major WCFs on existing buildings or structures outside of the

the following development standards:
(a) The equipment cabinet for the major WCF shall meet all requirements of subsection (4)
of this section.
(b) The maximum size of the major WCF panels and number of antennas shall the minimum
necessary to achieve the service objective.
(c) The combined antennas and supporting structure may extend up to, but not exceed, 15
feet above the existing or proposed roof or other structure regardless of whether the existing
structure is in conformance with the existing maximum height of the underlying zone as outlined
in the use zone charts, FWRC Title 19, Division VI, Zoning Regulations. Antennas may be
mounted to rooftop appurtenances, as identified in FWRC 19.110.070, provided they do not
Ordinance No. 21- Page 35 of 51
extend beyond 15 feet above the maximum height of the structure as defined per FWRC
19.05.080, H definitions.
(d) The antennas are mounted on the building or structure such that they are located and
designed to minimize visual and aesthetic impacts to surrounding land uses and structures.
(e) It is the applicant's responsibility to prove that the proposed size of the major WCF
panels and number of antennas is the minimum size and number necessary.
(f) Within residential zones, equipment enclosures, and buildings to house equipment
cabinets located above ground shall meet all applicable setback requirements for residential
development of the underlying zone. For developed sites in nonresidential zones, the setback
requirements for the equipment enclosure shall be those of the principal use of the subject
property. For undeveloped sites in nonresidential zones, the setback requirements for the
equipment enclosure shall be 20 feet for front, side, and rear yards.
(g) The major WCF shall comply with all other applicable standards of this code.
(2) New freestanding major WCFs. All requirements of the associated land use zoning charts
must be met. Additionally, these structures shall conform to the following site development
standards:
(a) Placement of a freestanding major WCF shall be denied if placement of the antennas on
an existing structure can meet the applicant's technical and network location requirements.
(b) Monopoles shall be the only freestanding structures allowed in the city; except that a
lattice tower may be used to accommodate the collocation of four or more service providers as
part of a joint permit application.
Ordinance No. 2 1 - Page 36 of 51
(c) A freestanding major WCF may not be located closer than 500 feet to an existing
freestanding major WCF whether it is owned or utilized by the applicant or another service
provider, unless the applicant demonstrates that a closer distance is justified by technical need or
better screening result.
(d) A freestanding major WCF, including the support structure and associated equipment,
shall comply with all required setbacks of the zoning district in which it is located. For
developed sites, the setback requirements shall be those of the principal use of the subject
property. For undeveloped sites, the setback requirements for new freestanding major WCFs
shall be 20 feet for front, side, and rear yards.
(e) Freestanding major WCFs shall be designed and placed on the site in a manner that takes
maximum advantage of existing trees, mature vegetation, and structures so as to:
(i) Use existing site features to screen as much of the total WCF as feasible from
prevalent views; and/or
(ii) Use existing site features as a background so that the total major WCF blends into the
background with increased distances.
(f) In reviewing the proposed placement of a facility on the site and any associated
landscaping, the city may condition the application to supplement existing trees and mature
vegetation to more effectively screen the facility.
(3) Standards for equipment cabinets. Equipment cabinets shall either:
(a) Be placed in a new or existing completely enclosed building. It is the applicant's
responsibility to prove that the proposed size of the building is the minimum size necessary to
house the equipment; or

satisfaction that the permanent underlying structure is being redeveloped.
19.256.190 Collocation.
(1) A permittee shall cooperate with other service providers in collocating additional antennas on
support structures and/or on existing buildings and sites, provided said proposed collocatees have
received a permit for such use at said site from the city. A permittee shall allow other service
providers to collocate and share the permitted site, provided such shared use does not give rise to
a technical impairment of the permitted use (as opposed to a competitive conflict or financial
burden). In the event a dispute arises as to whether a permittee has exercised good faith in
accommodating a new service provider, the city may require a third party technical study at the
expense of the permittee. Failure to comply with this provision may result in a revocation of the
permit.
19.256.200 Removal of facility.
(1) Abandonment and removal. The owner or operator of a WCF shall provide the city with a
copy of the notice of intent to cease operations required by the FCC at the time it is submitted to
the FCC. Additionally, the owner or operator of a WCF shall notify the city in writing of the
abandonment of a particular facility within 30 days of the date the WCF is abandoned. The
Ordinance No. 21- Page -41 of 51
abandoned WCF shall be removed by the facility owner within 90 days of the date the WCF is
abandoned, the permit is revoked, or if the facility falls into disrepair and is not maintained, as
determined by the city. Disrepair includes structural features, paint, landscaping, or general lack
of maintenance that could result in adverse safety or visual impacts. If there are two or more
users of a single tower, then the city's right to remove the tower shall not become effective until
all users abandon the tower.
(2) Partial abandonment and removal. If the abandoned antennas on any major WCF are
removed or relocated to a point where the top 20 percent or more of the height of the supporting
structure is no longer in use, the major WCF shall be considered partially abandoned. The owner
or operator of any partially abandoned major WCF shall notify the city in writing of the partial
abandonment of a particular facility within 30 days of the date the major WCF is partially
abandoned. The owner of the major WCF shall have 120 days from the date of partial
abandonment to collocate another service on the major WCF. If another service provider is not
added to the major WCF within the allowed 120-day collocation period, the owner shall, in 210
days of partial abandonment, dismantle and remove that portion of the supporting structure that
exceeds the point at which the highest operational antenna is mounted.
(3) Removal and lien. If the owner or operator fails to remove the abandoned or partially
abandoned facility upon 210 days of its abandonment or partial abandonment, the responsibility
for removal falls upon the property owner on which the abandoned or partially abandoned
facility is located. The city may enforce this subsection using the procedures as set forth in
Chapter 1.15 FWRC.
Ordinance No. 21-_ Page 42 of 51

19.257.010 Purpose.
Under 47 U.S.C. § 1455 and relevant Federal Communications Commission ("FCC")
regulations, a local jurisdiction must approve a modification of a wireless facility qualifying as
an eligible facility request. Accordingly, the city adopts the following provisions for review of
applications for eligible facility requests as defined by this chapter and federal law.
19.257.020 Definitions.
(1) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to eligible facilities requests only as
described in this chapter:
(a) "Base station" means a structure or equipment at a fixed location that enables FCC -
licensed or authorized wireless communications between user equipment and a communications
network. The term does not encompass a tower as defined herein nor any equipment associated
with a tower. Base station includes, without limitation:
(i) Equipment associated with wireless communications services as well as unlicensed
wireless services and fixed wireless services such as microwave backhaul.
(ii) Radio transceivers, antennas, coaxial or fiber-optic cable, regular and backup power
supplies, and comparable equipment, regardless of technological configuration (including
distributed antenna systems ("DAS") and small wireless- networks).
(iii) Any structure other than a tower that, at the time the relevant application is filed
(with jurisdiction) under this section, supports or houses equipment described in subsections
(1)(a)(1) and (ii) of this section that has been reviewed and approved under the applicable zoning
Ordinance No. 21- Page 44 of 51
or siting process, or under another state or local regulatory review process, even if the structure
was not built for the sole or primary purpose of providing that support.
(iv) The term does not include any structure that, at the time the eligible facilities request
application is filed with the city, does not support or house equipment described in subsections
(1)(a)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(b) "Collocation" means the mounting or installation of transmission equipment on an
eligible support structure for the purpose of transmitting and/or receiving radio frequency signals
for communication purposes.
(c) "Eligible facilities request" means any request for modification of an existing tower or
base station that does not substantially change the physical dimensions of such tower or base
station, involving:
(i) Collocation of new transmission equipment;
(ii) Removal of transmission equipment; or
(iii) Replacement of transmission equipment.
(d) "Eligible support structure" means any tower or base station as defined in this section;
provided, that it is existing at the time the relevant application is filed with the city.
(e) Existing. A constructed tower or base station is existing if it has been reviewed and
approved under the applicable zoning or siting process, or under another state or local regulatory
review process; provided, that a tower that has not been reviewed and approved because it was
not in a zoned area when it was built, but was lawfully constructed, is existing for purposes of
this definition.
Ordinance No. 21- Page 45 of 51
(f) Site. For towers other than towers in the public rights -of -way, the current boundaries of
the leased or owned property surrounding the tower and any access or utility easements currently
related to the site, and, for other eligible support structures, further restricted to that area in
proximity to the structure and to other transmission equipment already deployed on the ground.
The current boundaries of a site are the boundaries that existed as of the date that the original
support structure or a modification to that structure was last reviewed and approved by a State or
local government, if the approval of the modification occurred prior to the Spectrum Act or
otherwise outside of the Section 6409(a) process.
(g) Substantial Change. A modification substantially changes the physical dimensions of an
eligible support structure if it meets any of the following criteria:
(i) For towers other than towers in the public right-of-way, it increases the height of the
tower by more than 10 percent or by the height of one additional antenna array with separation
from the nearest existing antenna not to exceed 20 feet, whichever is greater; for other eligible
support structures, it increases the height of the structure by more than 10 percent or more than
10 feet, whichever is greater;
(ii) For towers other than towers in the public right-of-way, it involves adding an
appurtenance to the body of the tower that would protrude from the edge of the tower more than
20 feet, or more than the width of the tower structure at the level of the appurtenance, whichever
is greater; for other eligible support structures, it involves adding an appurtenance to the body of
the structure that would protrude from the edge of the structure by more than six feet;
(iii) For any eligible support structure, it involves installation of more than the standard
number of new equipment cabinets for the technology involved, but not to exceed four cabinets;
Ordinance No. 21- Page 46 of 51
or, for towers in the public right-of-way and base stations, it involves installation of any new
equipment cabinets on the ground if there are no pre-existing ground cabinets associated with the
structure, or else involves installation of ground cabinets that are more than 10 percent larger in
height or overall volume than any other ground cabinets associated with the structure;
(iv) It entails any excavation or deployment outside the current site , except that, for
towers other than towers in the public rights -of -way, it entails any excavation or deployment of
transmission equipment outside of the current site by more than 30 feet in any direction. The site
boundary from which the 30 feet is measured excludes any access or utility easements currently
related to the site;
(v) It would defeat the concealment elements of the eligible support structure; or
(vi) It does not comply with conditions associated with the siting approval of the
construction or modification of the eligible support structure or base station equipment;
provided, however, that this limitation does not apply to any modification that is noncompliant
only in a manner that would not exceed the thresholds identified above.
(h) "Tower" means any structure built for the sole or primary purpose of supporting any
FCC -licensed or authorized antennas and their associated facilities, including structures that are
constructed for wireless communications services including, but not limited to, private,
broadcast, and public safety services, as well as unlicensed wireless services and fixed wireless
services such as microwave backhaul and the associated site.
(i) "Transmission equipment" means equipment that facilitates transmission for any FCC -
licensed or authorized wireless communication service, including, but not limited to, radio
transceivers, antennas, coaxial or fiber-optic cable, and regular and backup power supply. The
Ordinance No. 21- Page 47 of 51
term includes equipment associated with wireless communications services including, but not
limited to, private, broadcast, and public safety services, as well as unlicensed wireless services
and fixed wireless services such as microwave backhaul.
19.257.030 Application.

SUBJECT: File 20-100129-UP: 2020 Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone for
Shelter Resources Property from RS-7.2 to High Density, Multiple Family Classification
and RM 1800.
I. INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to RCW 36.70A(2)(a), the City of Federal Way may update its comprehensive plan
annually. Per Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.80.050, the city has elected to review
citizen -initiated requests on an annual basis. As part of the annual review, the city may also make
changes to chapters and maps of the comprehensive plan. The governing body shall consider all
proposals concurrently so that the cumulative effect of the various proposals can be ascertained.
Shelter Resources, Inc. requested a continuation for its comprehensive plan amendment and
rezone on October 20, 2020, at the original proposal's second reading before City Council.
Shelter Resources, Inc. requests to change the designations of parcels #720480-0172, #720480-
0174, and now the additional parcel #720480-0165. The proposal is to change the land's
classification from Single -Family High Density Residential and Single -Family (RS 7.2, one unit
per 7,200 square feet) to Multifamily Residential and Multifamily 1800 (RM 1800, one unit per
1,800 square feet. All parcels are within one half mile of the planned 272' Sound Transit Light
Rail Station, at South 272na Street.
These parcels do not front on a public street. However, the applicant has acquired the Silver
Shadow Apartments, which is adjacent to the west, in order to provide the necessary access to
parcels of the project.
Land Use and Transportation Staff Report December 7, 2020
Proposed 2020 Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Rezone Shelter Resources Page 1 of 8
The Planning Commission heard the original proposal on August 19, 2020, and heard the revised
proposal including the additional parcel on December 2. 2020. Circumstances regarding the
proposal have not changed.
II. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
FWRC Chapter 19.80, "Council Rezones," establishes a process and criteria for comprehensive
plan amendments. Consistent with Process VI review, the role of the Planning Commission is as
follows:
1. To review and evaluate the requests for comprehensive plan amendments;
2. To determine whether the proposed comprehensive plan amendments meet the
criteria provided by FVWRC.80.140, 19.80.150, and 19.75.130(3); and
3. To forward a recommendation to the City Council regarding adoption of the
proposed comprehensive plan amendments.
Even though this proposal was properly noticed and a public hearing held before the Planning
Commission on August 19, 2020, the adjustment to the area proposed for zone/ comprehensive
plan amendment to accommodate a revised proposal required and additional Planning
Commission hearing on December 2, 2020. This adjustment was recommended by the Planning
Commission after public hearing, and recommended to the City Council approval of the proposal.

IV. BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The land requested for rezone is three parcels, equaling 5.48 acres in size, and is currently vacant.
In 2017, Shelter Resources, Inc. requested information on rezone of the property in order to allow
development of a multiple -family, transit -oriented project. The property does not front a public
street, and therefore, had no documented access to Pacific Highway South when the application
was made. Access was to be secured before the city would consider the requested RM 1800
zoning. The land owners indicated that they would eventually obtain public access by the time of
the public hearing, and the city submitted the proposal to the state's Department of Commerce for
review of the proposal's adherence to RCW 36.70A, the Growth Management Act. No issues
were raised by the Department of Commerce on the proposal.
Since the 2018 application, the applicants for the proposal have secured public access to the
property through an existing multiple -family development.
Land Use
An existing multiple family residential development is located adjacent and west of the proposed
rezone/comprehensive plan site, similar to the request made by the applicant. A Metro Transit
Park and Ride area is located north of the site and is zoned Community Business (BC). Land at
the northeast point of the site is zoned RM 1800 and is developed with multifamily housing. Land
directly east of the proposed change is zoned RS 7.2 and is vacant and restricted to development.
Approximately 200 feet southeast from the southeastern corner of the proposed rezone site is a
developed single-family subdivision zoned RS 7.2. Land directly south and adjacent of the site is
proposed for storage and is zoned BC. The single-family development located southeast of the
proposal is buffered from this proposed by a Native Growth Protection Easement (NGPE), where
development is prohibited.
Multi -family housing is not allowed in the existing RS 7.2 zone. However, it is allowed in the
requested RM 1800 zone. The applicant is requesting a comprehensive plan designation amendment
and rezone in order to allow transit -oriented multi -family housing since the parcel is within a half
mile of the planned 272°d Sound Transit Light Rail Station. The station is planned to be operating
by 2024 at the existing Star Lake Park and Ride located adjacent to the intersection of I-5 and South
272" d Street.
SEPA
Issuance of a determination of nonsignificance (DNS) for the project was made on March 13,
2020, and the period to appeal the determination ended on April 17, 2020. No comments were
received regarding the proposal. That determination fulfills the SEPA requirements for the
revised proposal. WAC 197-11-600(3)(b) permits the use of the existing DNS issued on March
13, 2020 as long as the change is not substantial, or as long as no new information is received
indicating environmental impact from the revision.
V. COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The property proposed to be rezoned is now within a Single -Family High -Density Residential plan
classification. The applicants request to be within a multifamily classification, allowing the proposed
multi -family development. According to FWRC 19.80.140, the city may consider, but is not limited
to, the following factors when considering a proposed amendment to the comprehensive plan.
Land Use and Transportation Staff Report December 7, 2020
Proposed 2020 Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Rezone Shelter Resources Page 3 of 8
(1) The effect upon the physical environment.
There are no environmental restrictions to development on the two northern properties of the
proposal. There is a steep slope to the east of the site. Existing stormwater and development
standards will reduce the impact of development An additional 130 units is expected to
increase traffic by approximately 910 vehicle trips per day, assuming 7 trips per unit
(2) The effect on open space, streams, and lakes.
Please refer to (1) above.
(3) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods.
Multiple family development will be compatible with the neighborhood area. Existing multi-
family development exists to the west and northeast of the project The commercial land use
along Pacific Highway South has a high -density potential that is conducive to such
development. The zone classification will be compatible with the surrounding environment
The open space area to the east contains a wetland that may remain undeveloped, thereby
providing a buffer between the existing single-family housing in the RS 7.2 zone and the
proposed multiple family development.
(4) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities, including utilities, roads, public
transportation, parks, recreation, and schools.
Existing sewer and water capital facilities exist adjacent to the development adequate to
service any potential development Access has been provided to the site, which will provide
appropriate entrance to a proposed development Any project is subject to transportation
and school impact fees designed to address impact upon these facilities.
(5) The benefit to the neighborhood, city, and region.
The proposed zone and amendment provide opportunity for development of additional
housing needed within the city, as encouraged by the comprehensive plan. Existing land
uses surrounding the proposal are compatible with development that may result from the
action of the amendment. Any development would be a Transit Oriented Development
(TOD), by locating next to the transit station located to the north of the site. Single-family
development to the east of the site will be buffered by native vegetation expected to remain.
Any development within the space will further meet objectives and policies for provision of
adequate housing.
(6) The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density, and the
demand for such land.
The site is near mass transportation and has adequate physical public facilities (road,
water, and sewer) to accommodate high density development.
Land Use and Transportation Staff Report December 7, 2020
Proposed 2020 Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Rezone Shelter Resources Page 4 of 8
(7) The current and projected population density in the area.
This proposed amendment will allow additional provision/production of needed high
density housing for existing and future populations. The site exists near and adjacent to
high density development making it compatible with the surrounding environment.
(8) The effect upon other aspects of the comprehensive plan.
Approval of this proposal fulfills and meets relevant land use, capital facilities, housing,
environmental, and transportation policies within the adopted comprehensive plan (see
item 3 below, per FWRC 19.80.150).
Per FWRC 19.80.150, the city may amend the comprehensive plan only if it finds that the
proposal meets the criteria for amending the comprehensive plan, including:
(1) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or welfare;
The proposed amendment and rezone enable the development of needed housing within the
City of Federal Way.
(2) The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
Please see the responses under Sections V (1), (2), and (5).
(3) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW, and
with the portion of the city's adopted plan not affected by the amendments.
The proposed category and zone reclassification are consistent with policies listed in
Chapter 5 of the 2015 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the following
policies are relevant to the proposal being made:
LUP 21 - Support multi -family development with transportation and capital facilities
improvements.
The proposal is located adjacent to a transit stop, making it a transit -oriented
development, and providing potential residents access to public transportation.
HP13 - Continue to use design guidelines to ensure that new and infill developments have
aesthetic appeal and minimize impacts on surrounding development.
The proposal will be designed to provide the needed housing, while maintaining the
compatibility of the neighborhood Existing, unbuildable open spaces will provide a
buffer between an existing single-family neighborhood to the southeast and the multiple
family development to the west and northeast. Any development in the rezoned area will
need to meet design standards required in FWRC 19.115 to insure compatibility.
HG5 - Develop a range of affordable housing opportunities for low-income households
consistent with the CWPPs and the needs of the community.
Land Use and Transportation Staff Report December 7, 2020
Proposed 2020 Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Rezone Shelter Resources Page 5 of 8
Two County -Wide Planning Policies (CWPP) are significant to this development
including.
H-9 - Plan for housing that is accessible to major employment centers and affordable to
the workforce in them so people of all incomes can live near or within reasonable
commuting distance of their places of work. Encourage housing production at a level that
improves the balance of housing to employment throughout the county.
T-12 - Address the needs of non -driving populations in the development and management
of local and regional transportation systems.
The proposed project is located near a public transit station, allowing low income
residents access to public transportation throughout the region and therefore,
access to employment and shopping.
HP21 - Promote fair housing access to all persons without discrimination.
The proposal is intended to provide housing on the basis of income and not upon
any social status; thereby, avoiding any discrimination issues.
HP22 - As required by the CWPPs, maintain sufficient land supply and adequate zoning
within the City to accommodate those types of housing consistent with the City's affordable
housing targets.
Land for the development of all housing is scarce, and this property has not been
developed largely due to the non -access of the property to any street Since the
project proponents obtained access to the property, future multi family
development will aid in the development of affordable housing.
VI. COMPLIANCE WITH FWRC 19.75.130(3)
Site -specific requests are also required to be evaluated for compliance with this section.
1) The city may approve the application only if it finds that:
a. The proposed request is in the best interests of the residents of the city.
Provision of affordable housing is a main objective within the city's comprehensive
plan, and the proponents initiating the reclaysfeation and rezone have a primary
purpose of providing affordable housing. The proponents intend to apply for a project
providing affordable housing.
b. The proposed request is appropriate because either:
(i) Conditions in the immediate vicinity of the subject property have so significantly
changed since the property was given its present zoning that, under those changed
conditions, a change in designation is within the public interest; or
Land Use and Transportation Staff Report December 7, 2020
Proposed 2020 Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Rezone Shelter Resources Page 6 of 8
Demand for affordable housing and all housing has increased since the adoption of
the plan. Average housing cost in 2015 was $289,100, increasing to $362,100 in
2018, a 12 percent increase and demonstrating a need for rental, multifamily
dwellings. The proposed reclassification will allow for expanded affordable housing.
(ii) The rezone will correct a zone classification or zone boundary that was inappropriate
when established.
In relation to item (ii) above, the proposal is not intended to "correct" any
inappropriate zone classification.
c. It is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The proposal is designated for High Density Residential in the comprehensive plan.
The proposal will reclassify the site to "Multiple Family," which is in the nature of
"high density" multi -family development. (see the expanded response in Section V,
FWRC 19.80.150[31, above).
d. It is consistent with all applicable provisions of the title, including those adopted by
reference from the comprehensive plan.
If this request is granted, any future development will be required to comply with all
city regulations and the comprehensive plan.
e. It is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare.
The proposed amendment provides opportunity for development of affordable housing.
Provision of housing is consistent with meeting public welfare. All development will be
required to meet current codes and regulations to protect public safety.
VII. CITIZEN COMMENT
No citizen comment has been received on this proposal at the time of writing the report.
Comment was received in a March 11, 2020, letter from the Department of Ecology encouraging
testing of soils for arsenic and lead prior to any development. These items are reviewed at time of
SEPA review when a project is submitted.
VIII. MAYOR'S RECOMMENDATION
Upon review of the application and information that has been presented, the Mayor makes a
recommendation to approve the proposed amendment and rezone.

housing needs of all residents of the community and region.
Housing Goal (HG) 1 Preserve and protect the quality of existing residential
neighborhoods and require new development to be of a scale and
design that is compatible with existing neighborhood character;
Ordinance No. 20- Page 3 of 8
Rev 2/19 CP
Housing Policy 2 Amend development regulations to accommodate a diverse
Housing Goal 5
range of housing forms that are compatible with neighborhood
character and create an effective transition between the City Center,
business areas, and residential neighborhoods.
Develop a range of affordable housing opportunities for low-
income households consistent with the C WPPs and the needs of the
community.
Housing Policy 22 As required by the CWPPs, maintain sufficient land supply

regionally adopted demand forecasts for residential, commercial,
and industrial uses for the next 20 years.
Land Use Policy 21 Support multi -family development with transportation and
capital facilities improvements.
