BUSINESS ITEMS
Approval of Minutes
Committee member Baruso motioned to approve the July 13, 2021 minutes as written. Chair
Kochmar seconded. Motion passed.
Resolution Supporting the Court's Efforts to Address Addiction and Mental Illness with the
Sequential Intercept Model
Judge Larson introduced Representative Jamila. Taylor and Representative Lauren Davis. Judge Larson
reviewed the Sequential Intercept Model. The model takes a more organized and structured approach to
intervention with people as they are coming in and out of the criminal justice system. The model refers to
a stepped process for addressing behavioral health issues in different stages of the criminal justice
system. There are currently six intercepts starting with Intercept zero, which could be Community
Services, Intercept one is law enforcement, Intercept three is Jail/Courts, Intercept four is Reentry and
Intercept Five is Community Corrections. The current system is very fragmented. Right now, under the
law they police could set up a lead program, the jail could setup a jail reentry and the courts could setup
therapeutic interventions. None of them under the law are required to cooperate; the programs are setup
separately. There needs to be a shift from a system -based approach to a program -based approach. Judge
Larson is advocating for a participant -based approach where they're looking at the participants
themselves and the impacts and benefits to them. The Sequential Intercept Model will allow them to
organize resources in a more efficient and effective way so that ultimately there will be a regional
resource network approach. The grant that they are applying for is doing a demonstration project of how
this model might work. After the presentation from Judge Larson and Representatives Davis and Taylor,
there was a question and answer session with the Committee members, Council President Honda and
Council member Craft. Judge Larson stated that they are expecting to get the grant money at the end of
the year and be able to start the Sequential Intercept model. Committee member Baruso moved to
forward the proposed resolution to the September 21, 2021 City Council meeting. Committee
member Assefa-Dawson seconded. Motion passed.

TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Brian Davis, Community Development Director
Sarah Bridgeford, Community Services Manager
SUBJECT: South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) 2022 Work
Plan and Budget
Financial Impacts:
The City incurs costs as a member city of the South King Housing and Homelessness
Partners (SKHHP). The costs are associated with the annual fee as presented in the SKHHP
2022 Budget offered for Council consideration. $26,000 was included in the adopted budget.
The increase of $3,900, bringing the total to $29,900, for 2022, will be covered by other cost
savings at the City, but subsequent years will require a budget increase.
Background Information:
The South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) was established through an
interlocal agreement for governments in South King County to work together and share
resources to increase available options for South King County residents for access to
affordable housing and to preserve the existing affordable housing stock. In accordance with
the Interlocal Agreement, the annual SKHHP work plan and budget must be approved by the
legislative body of each member jurisdiction in addition to the SKHHP Executive Board.
The SKHHP 2022 work plan and budget included here for Council consideration
operationalizes the SKHHP mission and goals and provides an itemization of all categories
of budgeted expenses and itemization of each Party's contribution, including in -kind
services. As mentioned above and consistent with the SKHHP Interlocal Agreement, the
SKHHP 2022 work plan and budget must be approved by each legislative body and adopted
by the SKHHP Executive Board.
Work Plan
The 2022 work plan builds on work completed in 2020 and 2021 to establish the SKHHP
Housing Capital Fund through pooled public resources, increase philanthropic and corporate
investment through creation of a SKHHP 501(c)(3) fundraising branch, and establish a
SKHHP Advisory Board made up of community members that will help to ground SKHHP
decision in community needs and interests. The work plan includes three major areas of work
that will facilitate implementation of the SKHHP Interlocal Agreement: (1) governance and
administration; (2) policy and planning; and (3) education and outreach.
Rev. 7/18
(1) The governance and administration work area includes: strategic planning to set 3-5
year goals for the organization, an annual work plan and budget process, establishing
quarterly progress and budget reports, and outlining annual reporting to stakeholders
and non-SKHHP south King County cities.
(2) 'The policy and planning work area includes: administering and allocating funds from
the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund and coordinating with partner jurisdictions to
enhance and develop new local housing policies and programs.
(3) The outreach and education work area includes: representing south King County at
local and regional decision tables and strengthening regional stakeholders'
understanding of housing needs and opportunities in south King County.
Operating Budget
The adopted budget for 2019 and 2020 was a projection of operating costs that did not
ultimately cover the full SKHHP operating costs. This was because the Interlocal Agreement
included an adopted budget before staff was hired and the City of Auburn became the
administering agency. However, SKHHP decided to intentionally spend down cost savings
from the previous two years, sourced from a combination of maintaining the original
jurisdictions' original contribution levels in 2021 along with personnel cost savings from
unfilled positions in 2019 and 2020 to cover operating costs and wait to consider increases to
member contributions to the 2022 operating budget.
During the development of the 2022 SKHHP operating budget, feedback from SKHHP
partner jurisdictions and the SKHHP staff work group identified the following budget
priorities:
® Work towards a balanced budget;
® Increase staff capacity to two full time positions; and
® Consider a compensation structure for SKHHP Advisory Board members.
The 2022 SKHHP operating budget operationalizes these priorities by increasing jurisdiction
contributions by 15%. The SKHHP budget contributions are based on population size, as
shown in the attachment to the resolution. Federal Way's 2022 SKHHP contribution is
$29,900.
If there are any additional contributions to SKHHP's operating budget from sources such as:
existing SKHHP partners, additional partners become part of SKHHP, or contributions or
donations from outside sources, each SKHHP partner contribution could be reduced through
an amended budget.

Rev. 7/18
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the 2022 SKHHP work plan and budget. This
recommendation is based on the following:
1. The 2022 SKHHP work plan and budget is consistent with the Interlocal Agreement
between Auburn, Burien, Covington, Des Moines, Federal Way, Normandy Park,
Renton, Tukwila, and King County.
2. The 2022 SKHHP work plan and budget operationalizes the agreed upon priorities by
the SKHHP Executive Board to implement the Interlocal Agreement by acting
cooperatively to formulate housing policies and strategies that address housing
stability, foster efforts to preserve and provide affordable housing by combining
public funding and private -sector resources, and support implementation of other
local policies and programs relating to affordable housing.

DATE: September 30, 2021
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: John Hutton
SUBJECT: Lease Temporary Work Trailers for Parks Maintenance Staff Displaced
Due to Covid-19
Financial Impacts:
The financial impacts to the City for leasing temporary work trailers for Parks Maintenance
staff displaced due to Covid-19 was not included within the approved budget. We are
proposing funding the temporary work space with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
dollars. We will have increased overall utility charges due to ongoing use associated with
these work trailers. Staff believes we should be able to sustain the utility increase associated
with the use of the trailers within the current operational budget allocation. Futme costs are
unknown at this time. The cost breakdown for die leased temporary work trailers for athree-
year term are as follows:
Trailers
$165,000
Security
$85,000
Water
$19,500
Power
$18,000
Sewer
$5,000
Site Prep
$7,500
Grand Total
$300,000
Background Information:
In February of 2020, Parks and Public Works management met and determined it would be
best to separate our crews into smaller work units to ensure we could have coverage if a
Covid-19 outbreak occurred within our maintenance staff and to avoid exposure to staff for
safety reasons.
For the past 19 months, Parks staff have been without a work location. Parks Maintenance
staff have been working out of their trucks, broom closets, and pipe chases. We had already
outgrown the Steel Lake Maintenance Shop prior to the pandemic. Since the pandemic
began, there has been a wholesale change to the way the Steel Lake Maintenance Shop
functions. Public Works has added more than six staff members that now report out of the
32
Rev.]/18
Steel Lake Shop. What was once a jointly used facility is unable to house all the members of
the three maintenance divisions (Parks, Streets, SWM) at the Steel Lake Maintenance Shop.
Concurrently, we are working to find a suitable location for a new maintenance facility. The
length of time needed to keep the leased work trailers in place will depend on direction from
the City. In our professional judgement, we believe the timeline needed to lease the
temporary work trailers to be 18 months to 3 years. The cost breakdown above covers a
three-year lease. If we are able to get into a new maintenance facility before the three-year
expected timeline, we would receive a prorated refund for the unused lease time.
We cannot delay in creating a suitable work space for our Parks Maintenance Division. They
need and deserve a dedicated work space to properly meet, coordinate and function as a work
group and have already had to make -do without for far too long, and much longer than the
short timeframe we initially expected. This proposal is a justifiable use of ARPA funds and
meets the eligibility requirements for those funds.

to safely disrupt an explosive device. This system is currently necessary as these explosive
items become much more complicated.
3) The FWPD utilizes SECTOR, an automated collision and traffic reporting device used by
Officers. The purchase of equipment and supplies will ensure peak performance and
readiness of SECTOR devices when officers deploy in the field for collision and traffic
reporting.
Goals, Objectives, and Deliverables - In general, the FY 2021 JAG Program is designed to provide
additional personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, training, technical assistance, and
information systems for criminal justice. The JAG Local Program is designed to assist units of local
government with respect to criminal justice:
1) X-Ray equipment for Bomb Disposal Units has been a necessity for decades. This X-ray system
would replace an outdated system used by the FWPD BDU that is no longer able to be serviced
or upgraded. The grant funds would be used to acquire this specific X-Ray system used by a
majority of BDU squads across the country.
2) The Grid Aim System is a tool utilized by virtually all BDU squads across the country. This
equipment has not been unavailable at the FWPD due to budgetary constraints. Adding this
system would enhance security and safety to officers and the public by ensuring the FWPD BDU
possesses current standard technology.
3) Automated mobile devices have become a common component in collision and traffic
citation reporting; deliverables for SECTOR scanners include increased accuracy of real-time
traffic related incidents and reporting into regional databases systems.

Statement of the Problem - Identify the unit of local government's strategy/funding priorities for
the FY 2021 JAG funds and a description of the programs to be funded over the grant period.
Units of local government are strongly encouraged to prioritize the funding on evidence -based
projects.
1) To maintain and improve necessary tools used in the handling of dangerous explosive
devices and ensure access to current standard technology in this work. The investments
proposed here will improve public safety and officer safety in extremely dangerous
situations when responding to situations involving potential explosive devices.
2) It is necessary that equipment and power supplies are available to officers deployed in
the field to maintain optimal performance and readiness of SECTOR devices.
Project Design and Implementation — Describe the unit of local government's strategic planning
process, if any, that guides its priorities and funding strategy. This should include a description of
how the local community is engaged in the planning process and the data and analysis utilized to
support the plan; it should identify the stakeholders currently participating in the strategic
planning process, the gaps in the needed resources for criminal justice purposes, and how JAG
funds will be coordinated with State and related justice funds:
Competing technological priorities, such as implementation of body worn cameras, has strained
the annual budget making it difficult to replace or upgrade critical equipment. The Federal Way
Police Department continues to explore all opportunities to identify and utilize funds available to
purchase needed equipment.
Capabilities and Competencies — Describe any additional strategic planning/coordination efforts
in which the unit of local government participates with other criminal justice criminal/juvenile
justice agencies in the State: N/A

Steve Groom, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Police Department Proposing Additional Personnel and Resources
Changes in Public Safety
The United States is experiencing an increase in gun violence, and the greater Seattle -Tacoma
region is caught up in it. Recently in Federal Way we experienced several shootings in a single
week. One of my responsibilities as your law enforcement leader is to inform you, the elected
policy makers and our residents, why this is happening. Second, you have a right to expect me
to recommend strategies to keep our community safe.
In Washington State, there were 302 murders in 2020 in comparison to 206 in 2019, an
increase of 46%. In King County, there were 102 murders in 2020, and 69 fatal shooting
victims, an increase of 27%. In the first six months of 2021, there has been 42 fatal shooting
victims, which is up 46% over a four-year average. In Federal Way, we have experienced six
murders year to date. Violent crime is on the rise in Washington and in King County.
Changes in our public environment compel us to commit more resources to public safety now
in order to ensure Federal Way remains a safe place to live, work, shop and play. Significant
changes include a rising population, rising violence throughout the region, and reduced
offender accountability.
As of April 2020 (U.S. Census), City of Federal Way population was 101,030. Based on that
figure, our police officer ratio is 1.36 per 1,000 residents. Given the rapid growth of nearly
5,000 people in a single year (96,289 people in 2019), and with other significant developments
underway, the rapid growth will continue in the foreseeable future. Major projects such as
Light Rail and The Commons will significantly bring more visitors and residents to our
downtown area.
Less accountability for criminal offenses creates more feelings of immunity among offenders,
emboldening their actions to harm others. From thieves to violent offenders, their crimes are
becoming increasingly more brazen and frequent.
R
King County has jurisdiction over felonies and juvenile crimes. With funding reduced at the
prosecutor's office, many felonies and crimes by juveniles are simply not prosecuted. Jails are
accepting fewer arrestees in the front door; and judges are quicker to release them out the
back door. The same is true of our state prisons.
Significant policing reforms laws have taken place in Washington State. The most recent
policing laws in the state add to this mixture (HB 1054 and HB 1310). More offenders are,
literally, getting away with crime. These bills severally restrict police from doing good police
work to keep our community safe.
One of the impacts to the Federal Way Community is the new state law on police tactics (HB
1054), which changed the requirements for vehicle pursuits by police officers. The restrictions
virtually eliminate police pursuits in Washington State. Since its effective date (July 25, 2021),
the Federal Way Police Department has recorded 17 criminal escapes. When police emergency
lights were activated, the suspects fled and the officers could not legally pursue them. Our
former ability to pursue, particularly in the middle of the night, was a deterrent to fleeing in
the first place; now criminals are more willing to simply drive away.
Stealing a vehicle is often a precursor for committing violent crimes. Apprehending car thieves
was a powerful method for preventing violence and apprehending dangerous offenders. Now,
however, we cannot legally pursue stolen vehicles.
Earlier this year the Washington legislature passed ESB 5476, which essentially de -criminalized
possession of dangerous drugs (including heroin, cocaine, meth, fentanyl and so forth). Drug
use is more rampant and blatant than ever. Previously, physical arrest initiated a process in
which courts could compel treatment. Now, police officers are virtually prohibited from
making arrests for drug use or possession. Offenders walk away with a referral card in their
pocket, with no obligation to take any corrective action. Fatal overdose is an increasing plague
to Washington's communities.
Much of gun violence in Federal Way is drug related. Shootings often stem from drug use, drug
transactions and drug rips. Drug activity and substance abuse is a primary contributing factor
for gun violence and other crimes in our community.
The auto theft numbers are significantly increasing in King County: June 805; July 981; August
1,154, and in Federal Way: June 48; July 54; August 66. There are several factors as to why
certain crimes are on the increase, but in regards to auto theft, one of the factors is directly
correlated to the new state reform laws preventing the police from chasing stolen vehicles.
The criminals are figuring out that police will not chase them for stealing a vehicle.
Historical Background
In October 2006, the population of Federal Way was 86,350. In November 2006, the Federal
Way voters passed Proposition #1, the Public and Community Safety Service Improvement
2
49
Package. This resulted in an additional 18 commissioned FTEs (to 136 total) and one additional
records specialist FTE. Prop 1 brought the officer ratio to 1.59 officers for each 1,000 residents,
an increase from 1.37.
In 2006, the department had 15 records specialists for a service population under 87,000. In
2007, the department had an authorized strength of 136 police officers. However, the
recession of 2008-2011 severely impacted public funding. In May 2009, the police department
stopped filling vacancies. Through gradual attrition the staffing level dropped to 122 police
officer positions. To accommodate those reductions, we eliminated some police positions,
including the criminal intelligence detective, two pro -act officers (pro -active uniformed
officers, rather than re -active officers), traffic officers (from 8 to 3), and records personnel.
In 2006, we had 15 records specialists, serving a population under 87,000. During the
recession that was reduced to 10. Accordingly, some police services were de -prioritized.
Since 2014, Mayor Ferrell and the Council have steadily increased the officer numbers. Our
current authorized strength is presently 137. Records remains at 10.
The United States census indicated the population in the City of Federal Way was 101,030 as of
April 2020. Based on that figure, Federal Way residents enjoy a police officer ratio of 1.36 per
1,000 residents. Given the rapid growth over the past five years, the actual population might
exceed 102,000 as of this proposal, which is 1.34 officers per 1,000 residents.
Police Chief's Recommendations:
Changes in our public environment compel us to commit more resources. Providing the Police
Department with additional staffing and resources will enhance public safety in our community,
reducing gun violence and other crimes and meet the demands of our growing community.
Proposal for 150 Police Officers
Federal Way's population and calls for service support an authorized strength of 150 police
officers. 150 officers would be 1.49 per thousand, based on last year's population of 101,030.
Proposal for 12 Records Specialists
Two additional specialists will be required in order to maintain the current level of service to
the public. The increased number of sworn officers and the additional expectations of the
public mandate that the Records Section keeps pace with its internal staffing.
Allocation of 13 Additional Police Officers (137 to 150)
We propose deploying the additional 13 commissioned positions in this manner:
• 6 officers to patrol, one to each of the six patrol squads
3
50
• 4 officers to form a pro -act unit
• 2 officers to Special Operations Unit (SOU)
• 1 officer to the Traffic unit
Patrol is the first pillar of local public safety. They are on duty, in uniform 24/7/365. Adding six
officers to patrol puts more police on the streets in neighborhoods, responding to 911 calls and
deterring crime.
Pro -act. This unit is made up of officers with different titles and functions. They constantly
supplement each other in order to accomplish the various functions. Pro -act is part of the
Special Investigations Unit, responsible for gang suppression, highway/downtown patrol,
narcotics investigations and drug houses, neighborhood complaints of criminal activity, asset
seizure management, adult business monitoring, and prostitution prevention enforcement.
We have not had the "pro -act" portion of this unit since 2007. Impacts of this force reduction
include: the unit's response time to complaints was reduced, sometimes taking several weeks
before a complaint can be evaluated. In addition, the officers do not spend as much time on
each complaint. The current reduced size of the unit prohibits it from doing proactive, crime
prevention activities, as well as operations like "John" stings. Four more officers restores the
unit to a more effective group.
SOU (Special Operations Unit): This unit of six police officers was created at the end of 2009 to
address increasing violence in and around the Sound Transit Center in the downtown core. A
patrol shift (the fourth/"power" shift) was dissolved in order to provide staffing for this unit.
SOU was intended to provide bicycle patrol in the downtown core and City parks. They
established relationships with business owners and retailers in the area. They work closely
with the SafeCity program. The presence of SOU resulted in a significant decrease of crime in
the downtown core.
However, for the historical reasons mentioned earlier, this team is currently staffed with four
officers. In recent years they have become the city's primary response to trespassing
complaints throughout the city. Consequently, we've gone without the downtown bicycle
patrols this unit was conceived to provide. Adding two officers will restore and enhance that
important need for our business community.
Traffic officers mitigate speeding complaints, investigate and remove abandoned vehicles, and
handle collision investigations. They conduct the ongoing investigations of all fatality collisions.
This unit went from eight authorized positions down to three traffic officers currently assigned,
plus the unit's lieutenant. The unit also monitors and issues tickets from the photo -
enforcement cameras.
The most notable impact has been longer response times to collisions. The unit's ability to
respond to numerous neighborhood complaints related to traffic has also been impacted. In
addition, as each new school year begins there is a visible absence of school zone enforcement.
4
51
We haven't done any commercial vehicle enforcement for years. Adding a traffic officer will
mitigate some of these impacts.
Records specialists are police employees who process the documentation generated by police
officers. They receive court orders and prepare them for service by officers. They enter data,
upon which much of our transparency with the community relies. The majority of their work is
mandated by statute, state code, and similar rules for law enforcement agencies. Records
specialists also research data bases, find information -related clues for officers in the field, and
help solve crimes. As such, they are invaluable force multipliers to our crime -fighting mission.
Providing the Police Department with additional staffing and resources, will enhance publicsafety
in our community, reducing gun violence and other crimes and meet the demands of our growing
community.

Salary + benefits for 13 police officers: $1,275,378. That is $98,106 per officer for the
first year ($73,764 B-step salary + $24,342 benefits). All entry-level officers are hired at
A -step. We chose a B-step average for this estimate because lateral officers are hired at
a step commensurate with their years of law enforcement experience.
Salary + benefits for two records specialists; $126,386. That is $45,792 yearly salary
plus $17,401 benefits = $63,193 x 2 employees.
Equipment & uniforms + BLEA registration for entry officers: $183,000. $13,000 +
$3,400 = $16,400 per officer. $131,200 for 8 entry officers + $52,000 for 4 lateral
officers.
Fairing bonus: $98,000. Our proposed hiring bonus is $20,000 for lateral officers and
$2,000 for entry-level officers. Based on our normal hiring rates, we estimate four of
the 13 may be laterals ($80,000) and nine will be entry ($18,000).
Fully equipped patrol vehicle: $962,000. $74,000 each for 13 vehicles. This includes
the vehicle, FWPD markings, installation of police radio and other items, IT equipment,
and police equipment.
The police department needs 15 more police vehicles (beyond the 13 listed above) to
accommodate existing police staff. Most of our comparable agencies have take-home
cars. This is an important issue for recruiting and retention. We request those 15
vehicles here. Total cost: $1,110,000.
52
Finance Department Analysis and Recommendation. Finance staff calculates the one-time
vehicle and recruitment costs total $2,170,000 and on -going personnel and vehicle
replacement expense at $1,660,764 per year (before inflation and other escalators which will
be incorporated into 2022-23 budgeting). As mentioned above, jail cost savings due partially to
jails accepting fewer arrestees and judicial releases can actually help fund stronger policing in
the short term. We can't control others' policy decisions but we can leverage the funding
opportunity in our policy response.
Funding is largely facilitated in the current budget cycle with:
2021-2022 Jail Cost savings (budgeted in Police Department)
2021-2022 PD Vacancy savings (already in Police Department budget)
2021-2022 Sales Tax Revenue coming in favorable to budget — this will require a council -
approved budget amendment
For the 2023-24 budget to be sustainable, the on -going staffing and vehicle replacement funding
will have to be prioritized at approximately $1.6 million per year which will have to be a priority
drawing upon General Fund revenue and against competing expenditures. While forecasting is
premature, we do know that our 2021 Sales Tax was forecast particularly cautiously during COVID
and actuals are coming in favorably.
Current vacancies in 2021 being filled currently indicate that budgetary impact begins in 2022:

One-time recruiting and vehicle acquisition costs can be absorbed in the current budget cycle,
funded from jail cost savings, current -year vacancies, and Sales Tax revenue.
ARPA revenue is considered for the capital acquisition of vehicles, but ruled out for now, because
of the on -going replacement budgeting. We could, however, pivot to ARPA, but a significant
concern is perpetual replacement funding of an expanded fleet in future budgets. Either way,
feasibility depends on committing to prioritizing this in 2023-24 and future -year budgets.

4. How are future years impacted?
• Adding vehicles increases annual reserve funding
• Adding stojf increases annual budget commitment
• Both obligate future revenue— an estimated $1,660,764 per
year on -going
Two Options
• With ARPA (the easier way)
• Vehicle costs of $2.1 million
(ARPA is already budgeted but not committed or
restricted yet)
• Sales Tax Revenue would be freed up for now
• Without ARPA (the hard way)
• Savings (already budgeted)
• Sales Tax Revenue (budget amendment)
• ARPA remains available for true one-time costs

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 4, 2021
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
Ryan Call, City Attorney
FROM: Joanna Eide, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Ordinance revising the Pedestrian Interference code
Financial Impacts:
There is no expected direct cost to the City for revising the pedestrian interference section of
the Federal Way Revised Code.
Background Information:
The City of Federal Way is authorized to regulate public property, including city property
and parks, public rights -of -way, and all other public property within the city under Article XI,
Section 11 of the Washington State Constitution and state law (RCW 35A.11.020). The
City's current Pedestrian Interference code section was originally enacted in 1991 under this
authority and has been revised multiple times in the years since to keep pace with both the
needs of the City and changes to case law.
Members of the public have expressed concerns regarding the safe and effective use of public
rights -of -way and areas within the right-of-way, such as sidewalks and benches. In response,
the City recognizes the need to increase the specificity in the Pedestrian Interference code
section to address these public safety and usage concerns within the parameters of current
case law, explicitly prohibiting laying or sitting on the sidewalk and to address use of bus
benches to ensure they are used as intended and to preserve availability of that use for the
general public.
All people may use areas within the public right-of-way, including sidewalks, benches,
medians, etc., as a person normally would and in a way that doesn't interfere with the use of
the public at large. When conduct obstructs traffic, roadways, pedestrian travel, and other
lawful uses of these areas, it may be prohibited due to its prevention of the use of others or
because it creates hazards and creates risks to public health, safety, and welfare. The risks are
not just to passersby, but also the person engaging in the obstructive, hazardous conduct.
Current law allows for restrictions on sitting or lying in a jurisdiction so long as they are
68 Rev. 7/ 18
tailored in a way that allows a person experiencing homeless without access to shelter the
ability to sleep somewhere within that jurisdiction, avoiding a result of criminalizing being
homeless. Tailoring of a restriction on this conduct may include prohibiting sitting or lying in
certain areas within a jurisdiction or at certain times of the day. But, a broad restriction on
sitting, lying, or camping anywhere within the City would not be constitutional as the 91h
Circuit decided in Martin v. Boise.
Any restrictions on use must be equally applied to all people, regardless of status, to remain
within Constitutional protections for equal application of the law. People experiencing
homelessness are considered citizens and afforded the same protections under the law as any
other person. Where conduct, by any person, becomes a concern is when it reaches the level
where it causes threats to public health, safety, or welfare of the person or members of the
public, or interferes with the use and enjoyment by other members of the public. That
conduct is the intended target of these proposed amendments to the Pedestrian Interference
code.
Proposed changes to the section include:
- Clarification of existing language for increased organization, so the code operates as
intended, and to ensure enforceability.
- Additional detail to ensure sidewalks and other areas within the public right-of-way
are not obstructed and may be used as intended by the public.
- Creating clear exemptions to restrictions for people with disabilities, for those with a
permit to engage in activities on streets or sidewalks, etc.
