BUSINESS ITEMS
Approval of Minutes
Committee member Norton motioned to approve the February 8, 2022 minutes as written.
Committee member Assefa-Dawson seconded. Motion passed.
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) Power Pole Easement
Staff Gerwen provided the background information. The City of Federal Way Public Works Department
is working to expand Dash Point Road via the Safe Route to Schools Program. PSE needs to relocate two
power poles from the Right -of -Way onto the edge of Parks Department Property in front of Lakota Park.
There will not be any impact to the Park. Committee member Norton moved to forward the proposed
PSE power pole relocation easement to the March 15, 2022 consent agenda for approval.
Committee member Assefa-Dawson seconded. Motion Passed.
Public Comment: Michael Ferens, is a resident of Des Moines and likes to walk in Federal Way. He
spoke about the large amounts of trash along the side of the roads and Sacajawea Park. Mr. Ferens is not
asking for volunteers to pick up trash; he is asking that City leaders stop enabling people to litter and
start empowering the Police Officers to enforce the laws for littering. He would like to be allowed to put
out educational programs to reach out to schools and ask them why are they allowing people to litter and
destroy the environment. Committee Chair Walsh encouraged Mr. Ferens to invite people to come out
and participate in the Parks Appreciation Day event which is scheduled for April 23. If people have a
sense of ownership they tend to take better care of things. Council President Kochmar recommended
reaching out to the service clubs suggesting that they adopt a road. Mr. Ferens stated that he is looking
for answers on how to change behaviors to stop people from littering. He would like to reach out to the
schools and to teams that are using the park and the field. He's looking for enforcement. Deputy Mayor
Honda recommended that he talk to the Federal Way School Board. Staff Eide stated that you can ticket
people for littering but the difficulty is catching people in the act.
Lawson Contracting, dba Wright Roofing, LLC Retainage Release
Staff Gerwen provided the background information. The City solicited bids for the removal and
replacement of the roofs on the Saghalie Restroom Buildings and Steel Lake Annex. Lawson Contracting
was the lowest responsible bidder. Prior to the release of retainage on Public Works projects, the City
Council must accept the `work as complete to meet State Department of Revenue and Department of
Labor and Industries requirements. The amount of the retainage to be released is $7,087.00. Committee

member Norton moved to forward acceptance of the roof installations at Saghalie Restroom
Buildings and Steel Lake Annex as complete and authorize release of the $7,087.00 retainage to the
March 15, 2022 consent agenda for approval. Committee member Assefa-Dawson seconded.
Motion passed.
2021 Program Year Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER)
Staff Bridgeford provided the background information. The purpose of the CAPER is to report how the
City utilized CDBG funds. There are four goals in the CDBG program that were adopted by Council and
approved by HUD. Those goals are to 1) Expand economic opportunities, 2) Preserve affordable housing,
3) Prevent and address homelessness and 4) Establish and maintain suitable living environments. In 2021
the City expended $1,296,482 in CDBG funds. They funded activities that provided public services and
economic development activities to 1,185 Federal Way residents; majority of the funds were used to
assist very low to low-income persons. Staff Bridgeford reviewed the 2021 CAPER key accomplishments
which included COVID response projects and the Housing Repair Program completed four repairs with
four additional repairs in progress. Committee member Assefa-Dawson moved to forward the
proposed 2021 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report to the March 15, 2022
consent agenda for approval. Committee member Norton seconded. Motion passed.
Systems for Public Safety Agreement — Amendment 2
Commander Schwan provided the background information. Systems for Public Safety is a sole source
provider used to outfit the vehicles and upfit them. They are asking for an increase of $900,000 to cover
the remaining upfitting expenses for scheduled Replacement Reserve vehicles and the 28 approved police
vehicles. The total amount of the contract is $2,100,000. It will be funded by ARPA / General Fund.
Committee member Norton moved to forward the proposed Agreement to the March 15, 2022
consent agenda for approval. Committee member Assefa-Dawson seconded. Motion passed.
Jail Services Contract — Puyallup City Jail
Commander Schwan provided the background information. The Department had a 3 guaranteed bed
contract with the Puyallup City Jail; they were not utilizing all of those beds enough to justify the number
of beds that they were pre -paying for. Changing the contract from a guaranteed 3 bed to an "as -needed"
bed rate will potentially save $137,000 per year. Those savings will be put towards other booking
facilities. Committee member Assefa-Dawson moved to forward the proposed agreement to the
March 15, 2022 Council consent agenda for approval. Committee member Norton seconded.
Motion passed.
Distribution Agreement between Seattle Police Department and Federal Way Police Department
Commander Grossnickle provided the background information. This is an agreement between the Seattle
Police Department and the Federal Way Police Department for a laptop for Internet Crimes Against
Children (ICAC) Task Force investigations. Seattle is the lead agency in the ICAC Task Force. This Task
Force investigates crimes involving sensitive material and some of the material cannot be accessed
through the City network computers and require a dedicated off-line computer or laptop. The Task Force
provides the laptop to participating agencies at no cost. The cost of the laptop is $1,785. Committee
member Norton moved to forward the proposed Distribution Agreement to the March 15, 2022
consent agenda for approval. Committee member Assefa-Dawson seconded. Motion passed.
Puget Sound Auto Theft Task Force (PSATT) — Interlocal Cooperative Agreement
Commander Grossnickle provided the background information. The PSATT was formed in 2017 and is a
multi jurisdictional team Task Force that focuses on investigating and enforcing laws relating to auto
theft. There is no cost to the City, the Department gets reimbursed through Washington Auto Theft
Prevention Authority (WATPA). The purpose of the Task Force is to target repeat offenders. Commander
Grossnickle stated that they have recovered 80 vehicles this year. Often times this involves complex
interjurisdictional investigations. Committee member Assefa-Dawson moved to forward the

Amendment to the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) FY 2018
Deputy Chief Neal provided the background information. The Department applies for this grant every
year. Accepting this grant requires no matching funds. These grants have been used for cameras,
computers and software. The total amount of the grant is $41,894 and will be used for laptop computers
for their cars and the "Safe City Server and Network Infrastructure." Committee member Norton
moved to forward the Amended FY 2018 JAG Grant to the March 15, 2022, consent agenda for
approval. Committee member Assefa-Dawson seconded. Motion passed.
Penalty for Improper Disposal of Needles — Discussion Only
Deputy Chief Neal stated that there are laws in place that address the issue of the illegal disposal of
needles; it's considered littering. Littering is a Class 1 Civil Infraction and carries a penalty of $500;
increasing the penalties is not something that can be done at this time. Another part of this issue is how to
enforce littering laws. This law is problematic because you have to actually see someone littering. If you
have someone who's in the vicinity of a bunch of needles, it's hard to prove that it was them that put
those needles there. Committee Chair Walsh asked if seeing someone discard a needle could also be
considered a public endangerment. Deputy Chief Neal answered that if you're going to impose a more
serious charge, that person is going to have to show how they were harmed. Staff Eide added that we are
unable to increase the penalty or change the penalty for the illegal disposal of needles because in state
law it has been classified as an infraction. The City can't criminalize something that has been made an
infraction at the state level.
Public Endangerment from Second Hand Exposure from People Smoking Fentanyl in Public
Places — Discussion Only
Deputy Chief Neal stated there have been incidents of people smoking something that people believe is
Fentanyl on the Metro buses. This issue falls under reckless endangerment and there is already a law for
this; it's considered a gross misdemeanor. Discussion was held on whether or not the City should create
an ordinance to address this specific issue. Deputy Chief Neal stated that enforcing this is problematic; if
you're going to charge somebody for smoking Fentanyl you would have to determine that it was Fentanyl
and in order to do that they would need to get a sample and then get it tested and verified that it was
Fentanyl, which would be difficult to do. There's a good chance that the person has left the area. The
only way you could determine what it is would be if you could get the device it was smoked in or have
the person voluntarily give you a sample. Police cannot test Fentanyl because it is too dangerous; it
would have to be sent to the lab to be tested which could take several weeks. Deputy Chief Neal stated
that an ordinance would have to be created that goes beyond reckless endangerment. The ordinance does
not have focus on just Fentanyl. Committee Chair Walsh asked that even if a person was injured or got
sick from something would you still have to prove the specific substance. Staff Eide answered that the
elements of the crime itself is that a person is guilty of reckless endangerment when he or she recklessly
engages in conduct not amounting to drive -by shootings that creates a substantial risk of death or serious
physical injury to another person. This is a gross misdemeanor. These are difficult elements to prove, but
it is supposed to be an overlay umbrella type of an offense so that it will fit the mold if somebody does
create a substantial risk of death or serious injury to another person. What the substance is may play into
that analysis whether or not that element is satisfied. This why the discussion is focusing on Fentanyl
because it is dangerous.
2019 and 2021 Revenue/Expenditures of Celebration Park
Staff Hutton presented the financial information for Celebration Park. The revenue for 2019 was $85,100
— this includes field rentals and league play. The expenses for 2019 totaled around $365,000. The total
revenue for 2021 was $67,400; revenue was down due to Covid and all the restrictions that were in place
because of Covid. The expenses were $365,980. Thc5main expenses include salaries and benefits, water,

power, repair and maintenance supplies, agricultural supplies athletic supplies and janitorial supplies.
Discussion was held regarding renovating the fields to field turf. Staff would recommend renovating the
four soccer fields first. Staff Hutton stated that if those four fields were renovated they could generate
$250,000 in additional revenue. There would also be a savings in turf maintenance which includes
irrigation, mowing, aerating and fertilizing. Renovating the fields would also increase the amount of
games that could be played and extend the window of play; they could be used 12 months a year vs. the 5
to 6 months that they are currently being used. Renovating the fields would also open up the potential for
untapped revenue streams that we have always had to say no to. There have been plenty of calls from
people wanting to rent the fields for Lacrosse, Rugby, Cricket and Ultimate Frisbee tournaments. This
would bring new people into the City spending money at the local businesses. Council member Norton
asked if the same chemicals are still being used in field turf that cause cancer. Staff Hutton responded
that he hadn't heard anything new lately, but that everything that he had read when there was the big
scare about cancer causing chemicals with field turf were completely disproven. Committee member
Norton said she was concerned that the city could be faced with a lawsuit if someone got sick from
playing on our fields. Chair Walsh asked what the life expectancy is of field turf. Staff Hutton answered
that he we have been told that it lasts 10 — 12 years and we've been getting at least 13 years out of them
consistently.

CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 12, 2022
TO: Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Council Committee
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy J. Hwang, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Pierce Transit Extra Duty Police Services Amendment No. 2
Financial Impacts:
Costs for the Pierce Transit Amendment No. 2 are reimbursed by Pierce Transit. For 2022 FWPD
has increased the billing to Pierce Transit by 5.7% to cover increases for 2022 in accordance with the
2022-2024 Guild Agreement. There will be an additional increase of 5.2% in 2023. A New
Agreement will be negotiated in, 2024. There should be no negative impact to City funds or to the
police department's operating budget.
Background Information:
The City entered into an agreement with Pierce Transit in 2018 for Federal Way police officers to
work extra duty at various Pierce Transit stations, vehicles, bus routes, bus stops, facilities, and
properties in Federal Way, Washington. Amendment No. 1 extended the agreement through
December 31, 2023.
Pierce Transit has agreed to pay the guild police officer overtime rate for each officer working extra
duty at the transit station and other properties if needed. All other items and conditions of the
agreement remain the same.
Officers work this job during their off -duty hours, so this does not impact regular police services for
the Federal Way Police Department. This agreement actually enhances our services by putting more
Federal Way police officers in service three times daily, all in uniform, at various Pierce Transit sites
and facilities — primarily at the Federal Way Transit Center.

VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy J. Hwang, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Acceptance of Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs Wellness
Program Grant Money
Financial Impacts:
There will be minimal impact to City funds by accepting $18,200 in grant funds for Officer Mental
n Sales

department's operating budget if that occurs.
Background Information:
The Federal Way Police Department (FWPD) will receive grant funding from the Washington
Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC). The grant money will be used to fund the
availability of Mental Health Providers (MHPs) for police employees. The grant is for a total of
$18,200 provided in two installments. The company "inLife Clinic" was chosen as the MHP
provider. This organization already provides MHPs to other local law enforcement agencies,
including Issaquah PD, Redmond PD, King County SO, and Seattle PD.
This is a difficult period in law enforcement. Law enforcement is seeing higher levels of officer
anxiety, depression, burnout, and PTSD during this time. Suicide rates among officers are on the
rise. Emotional exhaustion, frustration due to changing laws impacting law enforcement work, and
higher rates of officers leaving law enforcement leave fewer people to cover shifts, increasing
workload for remaining officers. This grant will support officer mental wellness efforts by providing
a Mental Health Professional (MHP) on site for police employees. Discussions between police
employees and the MHP are confidential, critical to ensure full support for the officers. Officers need
a safe place to talk about the things that are impacting how they function on the job and at home.
One goal of this program is to provide support and intervention before an officer turns to negative
behaviors that can ultimately lead to addiction or suicide. Activities under this grant do not provide
ongoing therapy, but it will include triage and referrals when needed to make sure officers receive
the mental health and wellbeing support they need.
These funds and the activities they support are an investment in our officers that costs far less
than replacing an officer who has become overwhelmed by the trauma of accumulating critical
incidents, or perceptions of betrayal, which are too often self -treated by addictive behaviors and
can lead to contemplating suicide. It also provides a support system that is separate from the
1
14
usual chain of command, providing support to people of all ranks. Confidential conversations
will also ensure a "safe place" for discussing difficult topics, that may make it easier for officers
to open up and receive the assistance they may need. In addition to individual counseling, the on -
site MHP will be available for our Peer Support Team and for Critical Stress Management
Debriefings (CISD).
The grant also requires officers to take two surveys. One is related to stress and the other to sleep
patterns. This data will be reviewed by the Washington State Department of Health. The results
of the pilot projects funded by this act (SB 6570) and recommendations regarding the
continuation of these programs, will be studied. The best practices and policies for providing
mental health services and preventing law enforcement suicide will then be identified and
recommendations on resources and technical assistance to support law enforcement agencies in
preventing law enforcement suicides will be made.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 12, 2022
TO: Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Council Committee
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy J. Hwang, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Interagency Agreement between the Washington Traffic Safety Commission and the
Federal Way Police Department
The Federal Way Police Department enforces traffic laws throughout the city to reduce
collisions, traffic related crime, and make our streets safer. This is completed by utilizing our
day-to-day staffing level. However, increasing the number of officers on patrol at any one time
yields better enforcement coverage and can promote a larger and longer lasting impact on traffic
issues that affect our citizens.
The Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) partners with the United States Department
of Transportation (USDOT) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
to offer an excellent opportunity for multijurisdictional high visibility emphasis (HVE) patrols
throughout the year with funding from various grants.
The WTSC has identified areas along SR 99 (Pacific Highway S) including in Federal Way
where an emphasis on changing the behavior of walkers, rollers (people riding hover boards,
electric scooters, etc.), and pedestrians is necessary to improve walker/roller/pedestrian safety
and reduce collisions with motor vehicles. Often these collisions result in serious injuries and
death. The WTSC created a "Walker/Roller" grant to allow the Federal Way Police Department
to be reimbursed for conducting extra enforcement for drivers engaging in high risk driving
behaviors around walkers, rollers, pedestrians. The Program Manager informed the recipient
cities what amount they would receive. The agreement total to be split between various cities is
$25,200; the Federal Way Police Department was awarded up to $5,000 of that to work overtime
needed for enforcement. The goal of the grant is to reduce traffic related collisions with walkers,
rollers, and pedestrians through focusedenforcement and education.
This agreement would allow the City of Federal Way to put more of its police. officers on the
road specifically focused on these traffic safety and enforcement goals without having to expand
its current budget as the grant will reimburse the overtime expenses for these efforts.

INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE
Washington Traffic Safety Commission
MIt
FEDERAL WAY POLICE DEPARTMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between the Washington Traffic Safety Commission,
hereinafter referred to as "WTSC," and FEDERAL WAY POLICE DEPARTMENTS hereinafter
referred to as "SUB -RECIPIENT."
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, conditions, covenants, and performance contained
herein, or attached and incorporated and made a part hereof, the Parties mutually agree as follows:
The purpose of this Agreement is to provide funding, provided by the United States Department of
Transportation (USDOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and allowed under the
Assistance. Listings Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number 20.616, for traffic safety grant
project 2022-AG-4301-Kent-Pacific Highway (SR 99) South Walker and Roller Program, specifically to
provide funding for the law enforcement agencies in WTSC Region 7/8 to conduct overtime walker/roller
safety enforcement as outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW), in support of Target Zero priorities. The
Target Zero Manager (TZM) and/or the Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) shall coordinate the SOW with the
SUB -RECIPIENT with the goal of reducing traffic crashes.
Grant 2022®AG-4301-Kent-Pacific Highway (SR 99) South Walker and Roller Program was awarded to

3. STATEMENT OF WORK
Note: This statement of work applies only to Walker/Roller Safety Enforcement for traffic safety areas which
your region has received funding.
GOAL: Positively change walker; roller, and motor vehicle driver behaviors through law enforcement patrols
and media efforts. Engage multiple law enforcement agencies along Highway 99 in South King County in the
design, implementation of enforcement, community outreach and education activities for the project period.
STRATEGY: Prevent drivers from engaging in high risk behaviors related to walkers and rollers by
increasing drivers' perception of the risk of being stopped by a patrol officer. This perception is achieved
through 1) an increase in media messages and outreach about upcoming emphasis periods so that the targeted
drivers know when the patrols will occur and what will be enforced and 2) during the patrols, drivers have the
perception of increased enforcement because they can see a significant and noticeable increase in law
enforcement presence and activities that reinforces the media messages they received and influences them to
modify their driving behavior and 3) officers who stop drivers will use the stop to educate drivers on the
importance of sharing the roadways with walkers and -rollers and applicable la-VYs violated by the A--,
importance

where the enforcement should occur and drivers with the highest potential of causing traffic crashes.
3. The enforcement is multijurisdictional and uses a saturation approach. This means SUB -RECIPIENT
is coordinating its efforts with adjacent law enforcement agencies so that the driving public has the
perception of law enforcement omnipresence on the targeted roads.
4. bly s The p� i made aware of the event before Burin and after the enforcement takes place. This
�„ a
means that messages reach all target audiences in the community, regardless of English proficiency,
who use the targeted transportation system. Local outreach and public education campaigns will take
place during the enforcement period.
5. Officers are encouraged to educate drivers about walker and roller laws and safety during traffic stops.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 24, 2022
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
Brian Davis, Interim City Administrator
Ryan Call, City Attorney
FROM: Joanna Eide, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Ordinance: Reckless Use of Fentanyl in Public Spaces
Financial Impacts:
Enforcement of this ordinance would be done with existing staff and resources.
Background Information:
There have been increasing concerns about the public use of fentanyl and risks to individuals
and public health due to second hand exposure to this dangerous drug. Fentanyl is a potent,
dangerous substance, capable of causing serious physical injury or death to a person through
exposure to even very small amounts — as little as 2 mg can be fatal.
Recent local news reports about the public use of fentanyl detailing experiences of people
regularly witnessing this dangerous behavior have raised concerns within the City. Use on
public buses has been specifically pointed out as being extremely dangerous to the public.
In response to these concerns, the Mayor directed City staff to draft an ordinance to address
the public's exposure fentanyl through second-hand smoke or public combustion of fentanyl.
The proposed ordinance makes it a gross misdemeanor to use fentanyl or fentanyl-laced
products in public within 10 feet of another person or when in an enclosed space or vehicle
with the public.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Federal Way, Washington, relating to
public exposure to fentanyl smoke and adding new section to Chapter
6.35 FWRC.
WHEREAS, the right of the inhabitants of the City of Federal Way to personal safety and
security while in public spaces is of the utmost importance and essential to a healthy, safe, and
prosperous community; and
WHEREAS, fentanyl is a dangerous substance, classified as a Schedule II drug, capable of
causing serious physical injury or death to a person through exposure to even veiy small amounts of
the substance. According to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, just 2 milligrams —
the size of about 5 grains of salt — of fentanyl can be fatal. The National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health has stated that illicit fentanyl sold in the illegal drug market is commonly mixed
with other illicit drugs to increase the potency of the other drugs such as heroin, methamphetamine,
and cocaine, which in turn increases the risk of a fatal interaction of the mixed drugs or an overdose
of the fentanyl itself, and
WHEREAS, data from the 2021 WA State Syringe Service Program Health Survey shows
fentanyl overtook methamphetamine as the drug most involved in overdoses in Washington state in
2020, in part due to its potency and widespread availability, a trend that continues; and
WHEREAS, studies have shown consumption by smoking of narcotics, opiates, and other
dangerous drugs is increasing, posing increased risk of second-hand exposure to innocent members
of the public; and
Ordinance No. 21-
Page 1 of 4
Rev 1/21
39
WHEREAS, due to its potency, high levels of toxicity, and potentially lethal effects in small
amounts, second-hand exposure to fentanyl can pose significant risks of physical injury and even
death of uninvolved, innocent bystanders.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Council hereby finds that smoking fentanyl or drugs laced with fentanyl in
public where innocent bystanders can be exposed to potentially toxic amounts of the substance
constitutes a serious threat of harm or death to the public; the Council further finds that intentionally
exhaling fentanyl fumes is a behavior so careless of others' safety that no reasonable person would
engage in it.
Section 2. Chapter 6.35 of the Federal Way Revised Code is hereby amended to add a new
section 6.35.015 to read as follows:
)Reckless Use of Fentanyl.
(1) A person is guilty of Reckless Use of Fentanyl if the person:
(a) Intentionally combusts or exhales the smoke of a substance the person knew or reasonably
should know contains, or is contaminated with, fentanyl; and
(b) The combusted or exhaled substance does, in fact, contain fentanyl as determined by a
presumptive drug test, such as a "NIK" test, or testing by the state toxicology lab; and
(c) Does so while in a public space and within 10 feet of another person, or while inside an
enclosed public space with another person.
Ordinance No. 21-
Page 2 of 4
Rev 1/21
40
(2) For the purposes of this section, "public space" includes, but is not limited to, a public
conveyance, park, transit stop, or other place open to the public.
(3) Reckless Use of Fentanyl is a gross misdemeanor, punishable by up to 364 days in jail, a $5,000
fine, or combination of both.
Section 3. Severability. Should any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase
of this ordinance, or its application to any person or situation, be declared unconstitutional or invalid
for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance
or its application to any other person or situation. The City Council of the City of Federal Way
hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence,
clauses, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections,
sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 4. Corrections. The City Clerk and the codifiers of this ordinance are authorized to
make necessary corrections to this ordinance including, but not limited to, the correction of
scrivener/clerical errors, references, ordinance numbering, section/subsection numbers and any
references thereto.
Section 5. Ratification. Any act consistent with the authority and prior to the effective date of
this ordinance is hereby ratified and affirmed.
Section 6. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days
from and after its passage and publication, as provided by law.
