Amendment to the Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter relating to Building
Code Requirements
Alternate materials, alternate design and methods of construction -
Five Story Wood Frame Construction
I.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Many cities are looking at ways to optimize small building sites. Five-story wood frame
construction is one solution that has been used in several cities including Portland,
Seattle, Tacoma, and Everett. While not currently incorporated into the unifonn codes,
five-story wood frame construction, where it has been allowed, has an excellent life-
safety record.
Ordinances in the cities noted above vary according to the fire fighting capability of
individual fire departments or districts. This ordinance is intended to provide for the
safety of occupants regardless of variable or fluctuating response capabilities of local fire
departments. The building's fire-life safety features represent the same level of safety
expected from any building built under the provisions of the UBC. Changes to the
Unifonn Building Code (UBC) with regard to basic fire-life safety provisions were
avoided. Only those requirements pertaining directly to the impacts of an additional
wood frame story (number of stories, allowable area) were amended. (See the attached
comparison to the 1997 UBc.)
The concept assumes that the addition of the fifth story requires a greater degree of fire-
resistivity for the first wood frame story in order to protect the structural integrity of both
the building itself and the exit structures. The exit enclosures are provided with
pressurization to compensate for the additional distance that the occupants must travel
from the fifth floor. This is a conservative approach in as much as the UBC and the
International Building Code (ffiC) require no additional fire protection based on exit
travel distance once occupants are in a protected exit enclosure. Emergency power is
required to operate at least one elevator and all emergency related systems. All other
requirements of the UBC apply as appropriate based on occupancy type.
This ordinance will be presented in the fonn of a code amendment to the Washington
State Building Code during the next cycle. In the meantime, as has been discussed with
State Building Code Council (SBCC) staff, this ordinance can be utilized under section
104.2.8- Alternate materials, alternate design and methods of construction, 1997 UBC.
SBCC staff has confirmed that local jurisdictions have the authority to adopt such
regulation as is beneficial to their communities, as long as it meets the intent of section
104.2.8. Furthermore, SBCC staff has found no substantial flaws in technical content,
legal authority or process. They have recently responded to a group of three Eastside
jurisdictions in writing to this effect. Fire department personnel in several cities have
reviewed the ordinance and have been supportive ofthe concept and the approach to fire
safety. The City of Burien has already adopted this ordinance as part oftheir building
code.
II.
PROCEDURAL SUMMARY
A generic version ofthis ordinance has been presented to the King County
Growth Management Board, the Washington Association of Building Officials
(W ABO), and the King County Advisory Committee. The State Building Code
Council staff has also reviewed the document. In February, the City ofBurien
approved a version of the ordinance.
III.
COUNCIL ACTION/ST AFF RECOMMENDATION
The Council shall by majority vote of its total membership take the following
action:
1.
Approve the proposed Building Code amendment by ordinance;
2.
Modify and approve the proposed Building code amendment by ordinance;
or
3.
Disapprove the proposed Building Code Amendment.
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance amending Chapter 5 of the Federal
Way City Code
IV.
LAND USE/ TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
It is the City's practice that all building code amendments be presented to the
LUTe. The LUTC discussed the ordinance and staffs recommendation during an
April 16, 2001 public meeting.
LUTC forwards the proposed amendment to the full Council for first reading as
follows:

SUBJECT:
Amendments to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Relating to Public Park and Recreation
Facilities, Schools, Golf Courses, and Golf Driving Ranges Heights and Landscaping
I.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
As part of its regular review of development regulations and based on direction received from the
Land Use & Transportation Committee,' Staff has proposed code amendments to provide for an
increase in the maximum height requirements for sports field lighting, flag poles, and other minor
and supporting structures such as back stops associated with schools, public parks, golf courses, and
golf driving ranges, and to provide for flexibility regarding landscaping requirements specifically for
schools and public parks.
Text sections of Chapter 22, "Zoning," of the FWCC regarding review processes is proposed to be
amended based on: 1) existing code interpretations by the Director of Community Development
Services; and 2) the need to improve upon the current limitations regarding specific height and
landscaping requirements for schools, public parks, recreational facilities, golf courses, and golf
driving ranges. This is necessary in order to logically provide for the improvement and addition of
minor and supporting structures greater in height than currently allowed by the FWCC that are
necessary and integral to the subject use, as well as greater latitude in landscaping requirements due
to the unique nature and functional requirements of public parks and schools.
Currently, minor and supporting structures cannot exceed the height limit in certain zones, and
landscaping requirements for parks and schools do not reflect the unique nature and requirements
generally associated with these uses. At present, a variance process is required to allow for height
increases. Staff believes that there should be amendments to the zoning code.
Many minor and supporting structures in public facilities, such as lighting, bleachers, backstops, etc.,
exceed the height limit. Currently, a variance must be applied for each time a structure exceeding the
height limit is required. This is an unnecessary process for placing a minor and supporting structure
that is already an allowed use at these types offacilities.
I The 2000 Planning Commission Work Program was presented to the LUTC on January 10, February 24, and April 17,2000. At
the LUTe's April 17,2000 meeting, the LUTC made a motion to recommend approval to the City Council of the work program,
which included heights and landscaping amendments under "Miscellaneous Code Amendments." The work program was
approved by the City Council at their May 2, 2000, meeting.
The identified uses, public parks and recreational facilities, schools, and golf driving ranges, are
allowed in all zones with the exception of Corporate Park zone (CP).
II.. DECISIONAL CRITERIA AND ANALYSIS
FWCC Section 22-528 provides criteria for zoning text amendments. The following section analyzes
the compliance of the proposed zoning text amendments regarding landscaping and heights with the
criteria provided by FWCC Section 22-528.
The City may amend the text of the FWCC only if it finds that:
1.
The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive
plan.
The proposed amendment regarding heights and landscaping are consistent with, and
substantially implement, the following Comprehensive Plan goals and policies:
LUG 1 Improve the appearance and function of the built environment.
LUP 4 Maximize efficiency of the development review process.
2.
The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or welfare.
The proposed FWCC text amendments will provide greater flexibility in placing minor and/or
supporting structures above the current height limit, by eliminating the requirement to go
through a costly and time-consuming variance procedure. Landscaping flexibility will promote
retaining the natural environment, as found in parks to a greater degree.
The proposed amendments will require that the proposed height of minor and supporting
structures (if greater than currently allowed in the zoning tables) for schools, public parks and
recreational facilities, golf courses and golf driving ranges, and landscaping modifications for
schools, public parks and recreational facilities be subject to individual administrative review
by the Director of Community Development Services. This review will assess each proposal on
a case-by-case basis to ensure that the minor and supporting structures would not have a
significant adverse effect on surrounding properties, and that landscaping modifications are
established consistent with the review criteria found in FWCC Section 22-1570.
In addition, flexibility in landscaping will in certain instances help promote public safety
through adherence to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) standards.
For example, a reduction in perimeter landscaping requirements may allow greater visability of
a public facility by the police, and discourage unlawful activities.
Additionally, the proposed FWCC text amendments will result in improved review processes,
which have a direct relationship to public health, safety, and welfare.
3.
The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
The proposed FWCC text amendment will improve review processes, resulting in increased
efficiency and effectiveness of city resources.

III. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND PROCEDURAL SUMMARY
FWCC Chapter 22, Zoning, Article IX, Process VI Review, establishes a process and criteria for
zoning code text amendments. Consistent with Process VI review, the Planning Commission
considered the proposal in light of the decisional criteria in FWCC 22-52 I. The role of the Planning
Commission was as follows:
.
To review and evaluate the zoning code text regarding any proposed amendments;
.
To determine whether the proposed zoning code text amendment meets the criteria
provided by FWCC Section 22-528; and,
.
To forward a recommendation to City Council regarding adoption of the proposed
zoning code text amendment.
The proposed text amendments to the Zoning Chapter of the FWCC involve exclusively land use
procedures and do not contain substantive standards respecting use or modification of the
environment. Therefore, the proposed text amendments are categorically exempt from the provisions
of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A), pursuant to FWCC Section 18-71.
A Notice of Public Hearing, the Planning Commission Staff Report, and the Draft FWCC text
amendments regarding development review processes were published, posted, and distributed
consistent with code requirements.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed FWCC text amendments on
April 4, 200 I. The Planning Commission considered the proposed text amendments (Exhibit A) in
light of the decisional criteria outlined above in Section II of this report. By a unanimous vote (6-0),
the Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the zoning code text amendments
IV. COUNCIL ACTION
Consistent with the provisions of FWCC Section 22-541, after consideration of the Planning
Commission report and at its discretion holding its own public hearing, the City Council shall by
majority vote of its total membership take the following action:
I.
Approve the proposed zoning code text amendment by ordinance;
2.
Modify and approve the proposed zoning code text amendment by ordinance;
3.
Disapprove the proposed zoning code text amendment by resolution; or
4.
Remand the proposed zoning code text amendment back to the Planning Commission for
further proceedings. If this occurs, the City Council shall specify the time within which the

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Public Park and Recreation Facilities, Schools, Golf
Courses, and Golf Driving Ranges Heights and Landscaping
Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Amendments
Planning Commission Meeting of April 4, 2001
I.
BACKGROUND
A5:, part of its regular review of development regulations and based on direction
received from the Land Use & Transportation Committee (LUTC),l Staffhas
proposed code amendments to provide for an increase in the maximum height
requirements for sports field lighting, flag poles, and other structures such as back
stops associated with schools, public parks, golf courses, and golf driving ranges,
and to provide for flexibility regarding landscaping requirements specifically for
public parks and schools.
Text sections of Chapter 22, "Zoning, of the Federal Way City Code (FWCC)
regarding review processes is proposed to be amended based on: 1) existing code
interpretations by the Director of Community Development; and 2) the need to
improve upon the current limitations regarding specific height and landscaping
requirements for schools, public parks and recreational facilities, golf courses, and
golf driving ranges. This is necessary in order to logically provide for the
improvement and addition of structures greater in height than currently allowed by
the FWCC that are necessary and mtegral to the subject use, as well as greater
latitude in landscaping requirements due to the unique nature and functional
requirements of public parks and schools.
Currently, structures cannot exceed the current height limit in certain zones, and
landscaping requirements for parks and schools do not reflect the unique nature and
requirements generally associated with landscaping in parks and schools. At present,
a variance process is required to allow for height increases. Staff believes that there
should be amendments to the zoning code.
Many functional structures in public facilities, such as lighting, bleachers, backstops,
etc., exceed the height limit. Currently, a variance must be applied for each time a
structure exceeding the height limit is required. This is an unnecessary process for
placing a structure that is already an allowed use at these types of facilities.
I The Land Use and Transportation Committee (LUTe) is a committee of the City Council charged with
the review and approval for forwarding to the City Council the various amendments.
EXHIBIT c
PAGE I OF <-I
The identified uses, public parks and recreational facilities, schools, and golf driving
ranges, are allowed in all zones with the exception of the Corporate Park zone (CP).
Attached is a draft ordinance that identifies the proposed text amendments to the
Zoning Chapter of the FWCC. The draft ordinance has been prepared in "line-
in/line-out" format, with strikeouts (proposed deletions) and underline (proposed
additions) indicated.
II. REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
FWCC Chapter 22, "Zoning," Article IX, Process VI Review, establishes a process
and criteria for zoning code text amendments. Consistent with Process VI review,
the role of the Planning Commission is as follows:
.
To review and evaluate the zoning code text regarding any proposed
amendments;
.
To determine whether the proposed zoning code text amendment
meets the criteria provided by FWCC Section 22-528; and,
.
To forward a recommendation to City Council regarding adoption of
the proposed zoning code text amendment.
III. PROCEDURAL SUMMARY
The 2000 Planning Commission Work Program was presented to the LUTC on
January 10, February 24, and April 17, 2000. At the LUTC's April 17, 2000, meeting
the LUTC made a motion to recommend approval to the City Council of the work
program, which included heights and landscaping amendmentS under "Miscellaneous
Code Amendments". The work program was approved by the City Council at their
May 2, 2000, meeting.
The proposed text amendments to the zoning chapter of the FWCC involve
exclusively land use procedures and do not contain substantive standards respecting
use or modification of the environment. Therefore, the proposed text amendments
are categorically exempt from the provisions ofthe State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA), pursuant to FWCC Section 18-71.
A Notice of Public Hearing, the Planning Commission Staff Report, and the Draft
FWCC text amendments regarding development review processes were published,
posted, and distributed consistent with code requirements.

IV. DECISIONAL CRITERIA
FWCC Section 22-528 provides criteria for zoning text amendments. The following
section analyzes the compliance of the proposed zoning text amendments regarding
landscaping and heights with the criteria provided by FWCC Section 22-528.
The City may amend the text of the FWCC only if it finds that:
1.
Tlte proposed amendment is consistent witlt the applicabk provisions of tlte
Comprehensive plan;
The proposed amendment regarding heights and landscaping are consistent
with, and substantially implement, the following Federal Way Comprehensive
Plan (FWCP) goals and policies:
LUG 1 Improve the appearance andfunction of the built
environment.
LUP 4 Maximize efficiency of the development review process.
2.
The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health,
safety, or welfare; and
The proposed FWCC text amendments will provide greater flexibility in placing
minor and/or supporting structures above the current height limit, by eliminating
the requirement to go through a costly and time-consuming variance procedure.
Landscaping flexibility will promote retaining the natural environment, as well
as that environment generally found in parks and schools to a greater degree.
The adherence to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design Standards
(CPTED) will promote public safety through coordination of flexible
landscaping with crime prevention standards.
Additionally, the proposed FWCC text amendments will result in improved
review processes, which have a direct relationship to the public health, safety,
and welfare.
3.
Tlte proposed amendment is in tlte best interest of tlte residents of the city.

In order to fully evaluate the purchase or acceptance of property for parks purposes, the
Commission recommends developing measurable criteria to consistently evaluate
consideration of property for acquisition.
3.

SUBJECf:
Code Amendment- Creating Non-conformances Through Right of Way Take
Development non-conformances are often created when the City purchases land to expand
public right of way. Building setback, parking, landscaping, and sign setback requirements are
often impacted by the new property line. The current Code language requires that a property
owner remedy the non-conformances at the time of any building expansion or if the property
improvements exceed 15% of the value of the improvements. This has become an increasing
concern for property owners who must meet the existing requirements should they make
changes to their buildings or site in the future.
The City Code does not currently provide property owners relief for this situation without going
through a lengthy and costly process of securing a variance. This issue makes it difficult to
reach agreement during the property negotiation stage of a construction project. Marwan
Salloum, Street Systems Manager has identified 25% of the properties in the Phase 1 Pacific
Highway project having non-conformance issues as barriers to property negotiation.
The staff recommendation is to revise the non-conformance chapter to include relief from the
non-conformances created by the City through right of way acquisition unless the property is
redeveloping 75% of the value of the improvements.
Committee Action Required: Recommend approval to the full Council to add to the Planning
Commission work program for this year.

ATTACHMENTS: Memo from Chief Kirkpatrick to the Parks, Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety
Committee regarding the request to purchase holsters, magazine/handcuff cases and firearms.
------...---------...-----...------ -- ------_..._--------------------------
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: The current holster issued to uniformed personnel provides limited retention capability
in the event the holster is unsnapped. Replacement of the holster is a safety issue for personnel to keep their firearms
secured in the holster and to provide protection from suspects who attempt to remove a firearm from an officer's holster.
H.l)[ that reason, the Federal Way Department of Public Safety requests authorization to expend funds to change holsters
Department issued firearms for commissioned personnel.
The Department recommends transitioning from the issued Beretta 92F 9mm and Beretta 84F .380 weapons to the Glock
series of semi-automatic firearms. Commissioned officers will be able to choose from five (5) different firearms in either
the 9mm, .40, or .45 caliber models. A policy change and transition to the Glock series of weapons offers the following
benefits:
Different size and caliber of weapons offered to commissioned personnel to meet individual officer needs and
preferences.
Consistent functionality, training, and operation of all Department issued weapons carried in uniform and non-
uniform assignments.
Elimination of the opposing pistol systems currently experienced with the Beretta 92F and 84F weapons. Glock
weapons offer a decocking system that is more fail-safe and less susceptible to operator error.
Elimination of the Beretta 84F .380 as a Department issued non-uniform duty weapon.
Training, accountability, and maintenance are enhanced by reducing the number of Department issued firearms
for uniform and non-uniform use from 146 to 105. The recommended change in holsters, magazine/handcuff cases and
firearms will occur at the same time reducing costs substantially if either change were made separately. The transition of
holsters and firearms would be incorporated into the Department's Firearms Training Program.
The cost (less Beretta trade-ins) of the holsters, magazine/handcuff cases and firearms will be $33,149.72. The costs will
covered by the Drug Forfeiture Fund $18,006.94; the LLEBG 99 Award; $9,042.91; and the Federal Forfeiture Budget;
,,099.87. For cost detail by item, refer to the table in the attached memo from the Chief to the Parks, Recreation, Human
Services and Public Safety Committee.

CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: At the May 14,2001 meeting the Parks, Recreation,
Human Services and Public Safety Committee recommended that the proposed request to purchase the Glocks, holsters,

340th Street Widening Improvement Project includes adding HOV lanes north and southbound, adding curb gutter
and sidewalk, adding lighting, landscaping, planted medians, restricting left turn movements to intersections, and
consolidating driveways where possible. The purpose of the project is to improve aesthetics, traffic flow and reduce
accidents by eliminating conflicts and to promote transit and carpool use. On average, more than 40,000 vehicles a
1ay use this section of Pacific Highway, which operates over capacity. From 1997 through 1999, there were 246
lccidents in this section with 82 accidents having one or more injuries. No fatalities occurred during this period.
Currently, the project design is approximately 30% complete, which includes the topographical surveys; The
geo-technical investigation; the Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Phase I; SEP A, NEP A and biological
assessment submittals; channelization plans and project design to 30%. The first open house for the project was
held on March 7, 2001.
Ongoing tasks include the Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Phase II; SEP A, NEP A and biological assessment
determination and project permitting; driveway consolidation studies; the Value Engineering study scheduled
for July 30, 2001; right of way requirements (property appraisals, negotiation and acquisition); and project
design to 85%.
The project currently has a budget shortfall of $2,085,162. See the attached LUTC memorandum for the project
expenditures and available funding. Staff is not requesting a budget adjustment for this project at this time. The
project budget is presented only for your information and tracking purposes. As we proceed with the project design
and right of way acquisitions process the total project costs will be refined and presented to committee and Council
at the 85% design completion status report for further action.

SUMMARYIBACKGROUND: The City has the authority under SEPA, RCW 36.70B.170-.21O, and RCW 82.02.020 to
enter into development agreements to delineate mitigation that will be required as part of a Project, including dedication
of property and payments for the cost of road construction to mitigate traffic impacts. St. Francis Hospital proposes to
build a new Ambulatory Services Center with related parking, and would likely be required to dedicate property and/or
eonstruct street frontage improvrnents as conditions of approval of the Ambulatory Services Center. In particular, the City
Ie and Comprehensive Plan would likely call for St. Francis to construct all or a substantial portion of a new road, in
toe vicinity of S. 344th, connecting 9th Avenue South and 1 st Way South. St. Francis desires to enter into a development
agreement to set forth the specific requirements concerning dedication of property and pro rata share payment for the new
S. 344th Street, and for off-site mitigation for traffic impacts from the Ambulatory Services Center and potential other
future development on the St. Francis property. St. Francis also seeks to have the development agreement replace an
outdated, earlierresolution, Resolution No. 92-101, on the same subject. The Public Works Director, the City Attorney,
and other staff negotiated a proposed agreement with St. Francis, which is attached, along with a draft resolution
authorizing the City Manager to sign the development agreement and repealing Resolution No. 92-101. The May 21,
2001 memorandum to the Land Use and Transportation Committee summarizes the particulars of the draft agreement.

Voluntary Development Agreement with Franciscan Health System
("St. Francis Hospital") Regarding Extension of South 344th Street
FROM:
VIA:
I.
BACKGROUND
Franciscan Health System (FHS) owns and operates St. Francis Hospital located at
34515 9th Avenue South, Federal Way, Washington. The building in which the hospital
is situated and two nearby medical office buildings make up an integrated medical
complex, referred to in this memo as the "Campus Property". FHS also owns an
undeveloped five-acre parcel that abuts the western boundary ofthe Campus Property.
On January 22, 1992, the Hearing Examiner issued a Recommendation for
Approval of a Binding Site Plan for a 13,400 square foot expansion ofthe 113,206 square
foot hospital building. The Hearing Examiner recommended that FHS enter into a
written agreement with the City to contribute a pro rata share to the cost of constructing
South 344th Street between 1st Avenue South and 9th Avenue South, that FHS commit to
dedicate up to thirty feet of public street right-of-way and appropriate intersection radii
along the north boundary ofthe site at the time ofthe final design of South 344th, and that
the actual extent of the needed right-of-way be determined by a traffic study.
FHS appealed the detennination ofthe Hearing Examiner, and on March 17, 1992,
the Federal Way City Council enacted Resolution No. 92-101. The conditions imposed
by the Council are: (I) FHS agrees to dedicate to the City of Federal Way right-of-way to
build 344th Street to City standards, with standard width of a street under City standards at
that time being sixty feet in width; (2) FHS will dedicate up to thirty feet of right-of-way
to the City to build 344th Street to City standards; (3) the dedication may be less than
thirty feet depending upon how much land the U.S. Government (the owner of the
property to the north ofthe Campus Property) dedicates; (4) FHS is not required to
K: \St. Francis\correspondence\HFCR5140 1
dedicate until a commitment by the U.S. Government to dedicate such right-of-way; and
(5) the level of FRS's financial participation in the roadway construction will be deferred
and combined with the SEP A review for the next development application for the
Campus Property. There was no appeal of Resolution 92-101, the 1992 Binding Site Plan
was recorded, and the proposed expansion of the hospital building was constructed by
FRS in 1992.
On January 19, 1994, the Rearing Examiner issued a Recommendation for
Approval of a modification of the 1992 Binding Site Plan for the construction of a 51,353
square foot medical office building at the northeast comer of the Campus Property. At
that time the U.S. Government was not prepared to dedicate any land for a street right-of-
way and there was no final design of an extension of South 344 th Street, and as a result,
the city did not require FRS to dedicate any land for such an extension. There was no
appeal of the Recommendation, and the medical office building was constructed in 1995.
FRS is currently proposing to construct a 62,000 square-foot Ambulatory
Services Center with related parking on the Campus Property. At this time the U.S.
Government is not prepared to dedicate any land for a street right-of-way, no traffic study
has yet been perfonned to detennine the extent of the needed right-of-way, and there is
no final design of such an extension. Application of City Code requirements to the
development would, however, call for dedication of property and construction of frontage
improvements along the northern boundary of the Campus Property. Further, SEP A
review of the proposed development is under way, and the precise level of traffic impacts
ftom the development, and mitigation for those impacts, would typically be identified
during that process.
In order to expedite the approval ofthe proposed Ambulatory Services Center,
and to avoid the need to construct frontage improvements at this time, FRS is willing to
enter into a voluntary development agreement that provides for the future dedication of
the north thirty (30) feet of the Campus Property and of the Undeveloped Parcel and that
establishes the tenns and conditions under which FRS will make payments of its pro rata
share of the costs of the construction of an extension of South 344th Street South between
1 5t Avenue South and 9th Avenue South, provided that Resolution No. 92-101 is

VOLUNTARY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT SUMMARY
The agreement addresses the following items:
1. Dedication of property.
FRS will dedicate, at the City's request any time after approval of the binding site
plan and all pennits and upon 90 days written notice from the City, the north thirty (30)
feet of the Campus Property and of the adjoining undeveloped 5 acre parcel.
2. Pro rata share contribution towards the cost of extension of South 344th
Street.
FRS will pay a pro rata share of the cost of constructing an extension of South
344th Street South between 1 st Avenue South and 9th Avenue South. FRS' pro rata share
would be based on the ratio ofthe trips generated by developments on the Campus
Property after 1992, to the total number of trips estimated to use South 344th Street, based
on a traffic impact analysis conducted prior to payment. Payment is due at the time the
City Council approves the final design of South 344th Street and authorizes a call for bids
for construction.
3. Pro rata share contribution towards off-site mitigation.
FRS will pay its pro rata share of the cost of all proposed transportation
improvement projects other than the extension of South 344th Street that are identified in
the SEP A threshold determination to be issued for the Project, using the traffic impact
analysis dated November 20,2000 and submitted by the applicant's traffic engineer.
4. Payment for impacts of future projects on Campus Property and 5-acre
parcel.
FRS will also pay its pro rata share of the costs of South 344th Street attributable
to any future development of the Campus Property and the undeveloped 5-acre parcel. In
addition, FRS will pay its pro rata share of any off-site transportation projects needed as
mitigation for any future developments of the Campus Property and the 5-acre
undeveloped parcel. The amount of mitigation for the off-site transportation
improvements will be detennined in accordance with the Federal Way Code provisions at
the time of the future development.

5. Repealer of 1992 Resolution.
City staff and FHS both prefer that the development agreement should replace the
1992 resolution (No. 92-101) governing FHS' earlier obligation to dedicate property and
contribute the cost of construction of South 344th Street. FHS will have a right to
terminate the agreement if the Council does not repeal Resolution No. 92-101, and staff
therefore recommends that the Council do so as part of its approval of the development
agreement, should the Council determine to so approve the agreement.

from FHS' proposed Ambulatory Services Center, and will assist in the partial mitigation oftraffic
impacts from future development on the FHS property, for reasons including but not limited to the
following:
A.
The proposed development agreement provides for FHS to dedicate, at the City's
request any time after approval of the binding site plan and all permits and upon 90 days written
notice from the City, the north thirty (30) feet of the Campus Property and of the adjoining
undeveloped 5 acre parcel B, for construction of a new, South 344th Street, between 9th Avenue
South on the east and 1 5t Way South on the west.
RES #
, PAGE 3
B.
The proposed development agreement provides for FHS to pay a pro rata share ofthe
cost of constructing an extension of South 344th Street South between 1 st Avenue South and 9th
Avenue South. FHS' pro rata share would be based on the ratio of the trips generated by
developments on the Campus Property after 1992, to the total number oftrips estimated to use South
344th Street, based on a traffic impact analysis conducted prior to payment. Payment is due at the
time the City Council approves the final design of South 344th Street and authorizes a call for bids
for its construction.
c.
The proposed development agreement provides for FHS to pay its pro rata share of
the cost of all proposed transportation improvement projects other than the extension of South 344th
Street that are identified in the SEP A threshold determination to be issued for the Project, using the
traffic impact analysis dated November 20,2000 and submitted by the applicant's traffic engineer.
D.
The proposed development agreement provides for FHS to pay its pro rata share of
the costs of South 344th Street attributable to any future development of the Campus Property and the
undeveloped 5-acre parcel. In addition, FHS will pay its pro rata share of any off-site transportation
projects needed as mitigation for any future developments of the Campus Property and the 5-acre
undeveloped parcel. The amount of mitigation for the off-site transportation improvements will be
determined in accordance with the Federal Way Code provisions at the time of the future
development.
E.
The proposed development agreement will not be detrimental to existing or potential
surrounding land uses as defined by the Comprehensive Plan, because any development will be
subject to existing Federal Way City Code provisions, including those concerning drainage,
RES #
, PAGE 4
landscaping, parking, traffic, height, noise, and future uses. These provisions protect the existing and
potential surrounding land uses from any potential adverse impacts.
F. In light of the Findings in subsections I.A - I.E above, the proposed development
agreement bears a substantial relation to the public health, safety, and general welfare of the City.
Section 2. Conclusions of Law. Based on the Findings of Fact set forth in Section I
above, the development agreement is consistent with the criteria set forth in RCW 36.70B.170.
Section 3. Development Agreement. The City Council hereby authorizes the City
Manager to enter into the development agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto, and to take all
further and necessary action required by the development agreement.
Section 4. Repeal of Resolution No. 92-101. The City Council hereby repeals
Resolution No. 92-101, which shall be null and void, and of no further force or effect, as of the

VOLUNTARY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
REGARDING THE EXTENSION OF SOUTH 344TH STREET
This Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into this - day of , 2001,
by and between Franciscan Health System-West, a Washington nonprofit corporation ("FHS"),
and the City of Federal Way, Washington, a municipal corporation ("City").
RECITALS
"'>
A.
FHS owns and operates St. Francis Hospital located at 34515 9th Avenue South,
Federal Way, Washington. The building in which the hospital is situated and two nearby medical
office buildings make up an integrated medical complex. The properties included in the medical
complex, all of which are owned by FHS, are referred to herein as the "Campus Property." (The
two medical office buildings in the medical complex are subject to ground leases wherein FHS is
the ground lessor.) The Campus Property is described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto. FHS also
owns the undeveloped five-acre parcel that abuts the western boundary of the Campus Property
and that is described in Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Undeveloped Parcel").
B.
On January 22, 1992, the Hearing Examiner issued his Recommendation for
Approval of the Binding Site Plan in file # UP3-91-0002 for a 13,400 square foot expansion of
the 113,206 square foot hospital building. The Hearing Examiner recommended that before
recording the binding site plan then proposed ("1992 Binding Site Plan") FHS should enter into
"a written agreement with the City to contribute a pro rata share to the cost of constructing South
344th Street between 1 5t Avenue South and 9th Avenue South" and "committing to dedicate at the
time of the actual final design of South 344th Street up to thirty feet of public street right-of-way
and appropriate intersection radii along the north boundary of the site" depicted in the 1992
Binding Site Plan. The Hearing Examiner further recommended that the "actual extent of the
FclOOOOO-09999101 92 110192 1-00066IAGREEMENTSIHFCRVOL-DEV -AGR-5BLACK -05102001
needed right-of-way" be determined by a traffic study and street design approved by the City with
input from FHS.
C.
FHS appealed the determination of the Hearing Examiner, and on March 17,
1992, the Federal Way City Council enacted Resolution No. 92-101, that adopted the findings,
conclusions and recommendations of the Hearing Examiner, added three findings of the Council,
and approved with conditions the 1992 Binding Site Plan. The conditions imposed by the
Council in Resolution 92-101 are: (1) FHS agrees to dedicate to the City of Federal Way right-
of-way to build 344th Street to City standards, with standarè.width of a street under City
standards at that time being sixty feet in width; (2) FHS will dedicate at most thirty feet of right-
of-way to the City to build 344th Street to City standards; (3) any dedication by FHS may be less
than thirty feet depending upon how much land the U.S. Government (the owner of the property
to the north of the Campus Property) dedicates to street construction; (4) FHS will not be
required to dedicate right-of-way unless or until such time as the commitment by the U.S.
Government to dedicate such right-of-way; and (5) the level ofFHS's financial participation in
the roadway construction will be deferred and combined with the SEP A review for the next
development application for the Campus Property. There was no appeal Resolution 92-101, the
1992 Binding Site Plan was recorded, and the proposed expansion of the hospital building was
constructed by FHS in 1992.
D.
On January 19, 1994, the Hearing Examiner issued his Recommendation for
Approval of a modification of the 1992 Binding Site Plan in file #92-00050PR, 92-0006SEP, and
92-0004SPR. The project proposed by FHS for the Campus Property was the construction of a
51,353 square foot medical office building at the northeast comer of the Campus Property. At
that time the U.S. Government was not prepared to dedicate any land for a street right-of-way
and there was no final design of an extension of South 344th Street, and as a result, the city at that
time did not require FHS to dedicate any land for such an extension. There was no appeal of the
Recommendation, and the medical office building was constructed in 1995.

E. FHS is currently proposing to construct on the Campus Property a 62,000 square-
foot Ambulatory Services Center with related parking ("the Project"). At this time the U.S.
Government is still not prepared to dedicated any land for a street right-of-way, no traffic study
has been performed to determine the actual extent of the needed right-of-way for an extension of
South 344th Street, and there is no final design of such an extension.
F.
The City desires that as part of the Project and in addition to those conditions that
may be administratively imposed as permit conditions, FHS enter into a development agreement
that provides for the dedication of the north thirty (30) feet of the Campus Property and the
Undeveloped Parcel and that establishes the terms and conditions under which FHS will
participate in the construction of an extension of South 344th Street between 1 st A venue South on
the west and 9th Avenue South on the east over the property to be dedicated by FHS.
G.
In order to accommodate the desire of the City and to expedite the approval of the
Project, FHS is willing to enter into a development agreement as proposed by the City provided
that Resolution No. 92-101 is rescinded.
H.
Review of the Project under the State Environmental Policy Act ("SEP A") is
under way.
1.
The City has authority under SEPA, RCW 82.02.020, and Federal Way City Code
Section 19-46 to require the dedication of land where reasonably necessary as a direct result of a
proposed development application, and to enter into a voluntary agreement with an applicant to
provide for payment by the applicant to mitigate the direct impact that has been identified as a
consequence of a proposed development.
J. The City has authority under RCW 36.70B.170-.210 to enter into a development
agreement to delineate mitigation that will be required as part of the Project.

F\000Q0-09999\01921 \0 192 I-OOO66\AGREEMENTS\HFCRVOL-DEV -AGR-5BLACK -051 0200!
NOW, THEREFORE, , in order to avoid conflict over the extent of the dedication or
mitigation requirements of Resolution 92-101, to avoid the necessity to construct street
improvements at this time on South 344th Street, to provide for the mitigation of any direct,
indirect, or cumulative traffic impacts arising from the Project as well as future projects to be
constructed on the Campus Property and the Undeveloped Parcel, and to facilitate use and
development ofthe Campus Property and the Undeveloped Parcel, the parties agree as follows:
1.
Dedication of Property For Road Purposes.
1.1
Property to be Dedicated; Timing. FHS hereby agrees to designate the north
thirty (30) feet of its Campus Property as Tract "Z" on a binding site plan to be presented to the
City for review and approval as a part of the Project. Once the Project has received all necessary
development approvals and permits and once the binding site plan has been approved by the City
and recorded, then any time thereafter, following ninety (90) days prior written notice from the
City requesting such dedication, FHS will dedicate Tract Z and the north thirty (30) feet of the
Undeveloped Parcel to the City for the purpose of building a road that extends South 344th Street
from 9th Avenue South on the east to I st A venue South on the west (the "Road Extension"). The
dedication shall be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, covenants, restrictions, easements
and any other title defects.
1.2 No Dedication of Additional Property. The City agrees not to impose as a
condition of FHS's obtaining any development permit or approval necessary for the Project or
any future project to be constructed on the Campus Property or the Undeveloped Parcel that FHS
dedicate any other property for an extension of South 344th Street. The City further agrees that it
will not request that the Hearing Examiner impose any such condition.
1.3 Right to Terminate. If the Hearing Examiner requires FHS to dedicate any
property for an extension of South 344th Street in addition to Tract Z and the north thirty (30) feet
of the Undeveloped Parcel as a condition of obtaining any development permit or approval
4
E\OOOOO-09999\O 1921 \0 1921-00066\AGREEMENTS\HFCR VOL-DEV -AGR-5BLACK -0510200 1
necessary for the Project or if the City, by appropriate action of its City Council, fails to rescind
Council Resolution No. 92-101 as a part of the City's approval of this Agreement, then FHS may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to City.
2.
Road Construction Reimbursement.
2.1
Pro Rata Share and Road Extension. FHS agrees to pay and reimburse to the
City (or to any third party actually constructing the Road Extension at the direction of the City
and to whom the city is obligated for reimbursement) its pro rata share ("Pro Rata Share") of the
cost of building the Road Extension to City standards. The Road Extension is hereby defined as
the street to be constructed between 9th Avenue South on the east and 1 st Avenue South on the
west, the improvements to be made to the intersections at 9th Avenue South and 1 st Avenue
South, and all roadway alterations and improvements to be constructed on the Campus Property
and the Undeveloped Parcel that are made necessary by the design and construction of the street.
FHS's Pro Rata Share of the cost of building the Road Extension shall be determined and
payable at such time as the City, by appropriate action of its City Council has approved the final
design of the Road Extension and authorized a call for bids.
2.2
Calculation of Pro Rata Share. FHS's Pro Rata Share of the cost of building the
Road Extension shall be in the same ratio as the number of estimated motor vehicle trips
generated by the Campus Property and the Undeveloped Parcel that will use the Road Extension
compared to the number of all estimated motor vehicle trips that will use the Road Extension
regardless of source or destination. The calculation ofFHS' s Pro Rata Share shall be determined
by a traffic impact analysis conducted by a traffic engineer, which engineer shall be acceptable to
both the City and FHS. In establishing the number of estimated motor vehicle trips generated by
the Campus Property and the Undeveloped Parcel (to be estimated at the time of the traffic
impact analysis) that will use the Road Extension, the traffic engineer shall consider all trips
generated by projects constructed on the Campus Property (including Parcel C as described in
Exhibit A) and the Undeveloped Property after but not before March 17, 1992, or proposed for
5
FlOOOQO-0999910192 1 10 1921-00066IAGREEMENTSIHFCRVOL-DEV -AGR-5BLACK -051 02001
construction by FRS at the time of the traffic impact analysis; provided, however, that trips
generated by projects constructed after the date of this Agreement on Parcels Band C, as
described in Exhibit A attached hereto, shall not be included in establishing the number of
estimated trips generated by the Campus Property and the Undeveloped Parcel. In establishing
the number of all estimated trips from all sources (to be estimated at the time ofthe traffic impact
analysis) that will use the Road Extension at the time of its construction, the traffic engineer shall
include all trips generated by all projects on the Campus Property regardless of when they were
constructed.
2.3
Costs to Which Pro Rata Share Applies. The costs of building the Road
Extension for which FRS must pay its Pro Rata Share shall be limited to all of the direct costs of
the design and construction of the Road Extension (including the cost of labor and materials and
the fees of architects, engineers, contractors and a construction manager) which are incurred and
paid by the City, or for which the City is obligated to reimburse to a third party who constructs
the Road Extension at the direction of the City, and the cost of the traffic impact analysis
described in Section 2.2 hereof. The costs subject to reimbursement by FRS shall not include
(a) the cost of installation of utilities in the Road Extension's right-of-way except for utilities
such as electrical lines, storm drains, fire hydrants, and water mains to the extent that they are
necessary for the proper lighting, drainage and fire protection of the Road Extension, (b) the cost
¡j¡
to the City of acquiring any property included in the Road Extension's right-of-way, (c) the value
of any property conveyed or dedicated by any other party to the City and included in the Road
Extension's right-of-way, and (d) the cost of any improvements that would otherwise be a part of
the Road Extension but that are required to be made by any other party or property owner as a
condition of obtaining a development permit or approval necessary for the development of its
property.

3.
Off-Site Mitieation for Project and Future Projects.
3.1 Off-Site Impacts of Project. As part of the mitigation of off-site traffic impacts
resulting from the Project, FHS shall pay a pro rata share of the cost of all proposed
transportation improvement projects other than the Road Extension that are described in the
SEPA threshold determination to be issued for the Project. The calculation of FHS's pro rata
share shall be based upon the ratio of the number of estimated trips generated solely by the
Project that use each proposed transportation improvement project compared to the number of all
trips estimated to use each proposed transportation improvement project. The calculation of the
FHS's pro rata share for those projects shall be determined by the City of Federal Way Public
Works Director based upon the traffic impact analysis dated November 20, 2000, conducted by
the Transpo Group Incorporated. FHS shall pay its pro rata share due under this Section prior to
and as a condition of issuance of the building permit for the Project.
3.2
Off-Site Impacts of Future Projects. As part of the mitigation of the off-site
traffic impacts of any future project proposed prior to construction of the Road Extension for the
Undeveloped Property and the Campus Property, other than Parcels B and C as described in
Exhibit A, FHS shall pay a pro rata share of the costs of the then proposed off-site transportation
improvement projects other than the Road Extension, as determined by the Federal Way Public
Works Director in accordance with the applicable Federal Way City Code provisions or other
City ordinances in effect at the time of the proposed future project. In addition, FHS shall pay its
Pro Rata Share of the cost of the Road Extension attributable to the proposed future project
determined and payable in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement. If the City adopts a
system of traffic impact fees applicable to future projects in order to pay for the cost of proposed
road improvements that includes the Road Extension, then FHS shall not be required to pay that
portion of the traffic impact fee attributable to the cost of the Road Extension. Future projects on
Parcels B and C as described in Exhibit A are excluded from the rights and obligations of FHS
under this Section 3.2 since those two parcels are ground leased by FHS to others, and the ground
lessees rather than FHS shall be responsible for the payment of any off-site traffic impacts,
7
nOOOOO-0999910 192110 1921-00066\AGREEMENTSIHFCRVOL-DEV -AGR-5BLACK -05102001
including impacts to the Road Extension, attributable to any proposed future development of
those two parcels. For future projects constructed thereon, Parcels Band C as described in
Exhibit A shall be subject to all requirements for mitigation of off-site traffic impacts imposed
under the Federal Way City Code or as conditions of development approval at the time of the
development approval.
3.3
Future Development of Undeveloped Parcel. As a part of any proposed future
development of the Undeveloped Parcel prior to the construction of the Road Extension, FRS
shall prepare a binding site plan for the Undeveloped Parcel that shows the proposed
development and establishes the north thirty (30) feet thereof as a separate parcel subject to the
requirements of Section 1.1 hereof.
4.
Local Improvement District.
In the event a local improvement district is created for the purpose of constructing the
Road Extension, then the City shall exclude from the district the Undeveloped Parcel and the
Campus Property other than Parcels Band C as described in Exhibit A attached hereto. If those
parcels may not be lawfully excluded from the district, then this Agreement shall tenninate,
provided that if FRS has dedicated Tract Z and/or the north thirty (30) feet of the Undeveloped
Parcel and/or paid its Pro Rata Share of the cost of the Road Extension pursuant to the tenus of
this Agreement, then any Pro Rata Share amount paid by FRS, plus interest thereon at the legal
rate from the date of payment, and the value of any property dedicated as detennined by an MAl
appraisal, shall be allowed as a credit upon any assessment imposed by the district upon the
Undeveloped Parcel and Campus Property other than Parcels Band C as described in Exhibit A
attached hereto. The appraisal shall be perfonned by an appraiser selected by FRS subject to the
reasonable approval of City. FRS shall pay the cost of the appraisal which shall be allowed as a
credit upon any assessment by the district.

SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: In 1998, the Legislature adopted certain findings concerning the threat to
'ublic safety posed by drivers with suspended and/or revoked drivers' licenses. Along with those findings, the
Legislature through RCW 46.55.113 authorized Washington cities and towns to impound vehicles of drivers
arrested for driving with a suspended or revoked license - - but only after adoption of an ordinance providing
for such impoundment. Other Puget Sound cities, including Seattle, have adopted impoundment ordinances.
Their experience demonstrates that impoundment ordinances reduce the rate of driving while suspended or
revoked (DWLS) crimes, reduces the rate of recidivism or repeat DWLS crimes, and reduces jail costs. Based
on this outcome elsewhere, the City Manager's jail cost reduction task force prepared an impound ordinance.
A draft ordinance is attached, along with a memorandum from City Attorney Bob C. Sterbank explaining
the mechanics of the ordinance.
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: On May 14,2001, the PRHSPS Committee
recommended that the proposed impound ordinance be forwarded to the City Council for consideration.
CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION: I move that the proposed impound ordinance be moved to
second readin for a roval and ado tion at the next re u mee in of the Cit Council on June 19, 2001.

Request to Add a New Article to Chapter 15 of the Federal Way City Code,
Authorizing Impoundment of Vehicles Driven by Suspended or Revoked Drivers

Subject:
Backeround: Pursuant to the Traffic and Vehicles Code, Chapter 15, of the City of Federal Way, the
Department of Public Safety is requesting authorization for the adoption of this ordinance solely to revise the
existing City Traffic and Vehicles Code to reflect amendments, additions, or deletions exhibited in the state
statutes, the Revised Washington Code (RCW).
The purpose of this addition is to bring current the City Traffic and Vehicles Code, Chapter 15 that was
adopted by the Federal Way City Council in 1990. In Washington Laws 1998, Chapter 203, section 4, the
Legislature adopted certain findings concerning the threat to public safety posed by drivers with suspended
and/or revoked driver's licenses. The Legislature through RCW 46.55.113 authorizes Washington cities
and towns to adopt ordinances providing for impoundment of vehicles of drivers arrested for driving with a
suspended or revoked license.
The ordinance will empower the police to impound vehicles for individuals arrested driving with a
suspended or revoked license. This ordinance will also serve as a deterrent to offenders who drive without
a valid license, and the impoundment period will increase with the severity of the offense increasing the
cost to the violator to retrieve their vehicle. The outcome will be an ordinance which penalizes the
offender, removes the use of the vehicle to re-offend, increase public safety, reduce jail costs to the city
and the Citizens of Federal Way.
Attached is the amended ordinance.
Committee Recommendation:
Motion to approve and adopt this addition to the ordinance amending the City of Federal Way Traffic and
Vehicles Code, Chapter 15, and forward to full Council for consideration at its June 5, 2001 meeting.

consideration of the threat to public safety that may result from release of the vehicle, including, but
not limited to, the driver's criminal history, driving record, license status and access to the vehicle.
An individual may have only one such hardship petition granted. If such release is authorized, the
person redeeming the vehicle must still satisfy the requirements ofFWCC 15-224 (a) and (b).
Section 15-225. Hearing requests.
Any person seeking to redeem a vehicle impounded as a result of a parking citation, traffic
citation, or pursuant to FWCC 15-221 has a right to a hearing before a Municipal Court
Commissioner to contest the validity of an impoundment or the amount or removal, towing, and
storage charges and any administrative fee ifsuch request is made in writing, in a form approved by
the City Manager and signed by such person, and received by the Municipal Court within ten (10)
days (including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) of the date the notice was given to such person by
the person impounding the vehicle or if the person seeking to contest the impound validity was not
the driver, within 10 days (including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) of the date the notice was
mailed by the registered tow truck operator pursuant to RCW 46.55.120 (2) (a). Such hearing shall
be provided as follows:
(a) If all of the requirements to redeem the vehicle, including expiration of any period of
impoundment under FWCC 15-221, have been satisfied, then the impounded vehicle shall be
released immediately, and a hearing as provided for in FWCC 15-223 shall be held within ninety
(90) days of the written request for hearing. Any delay attributable to the person requesting the
hearing, including but not limited to continuances of the hearing date, shall be excluded from the
ninety (90) day period.

impoundment under FWCC 15-221, have been satisfied, then the impounded vehicle shall not be
released until after the hearing provided pursuant to FWCC 15-223, which shall be held within two
(2) business days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) of the written request to the
Municipal Court for the hearing unless good cause as to the reason(s) for any delay is shown. Any
delay attributable to the person requesting the hearing, including but not limited to continuances of
the hearing date, shall be excluded from the two (2) day period.
(c) Any person seeking a hearing who has failed to request such hearing within the time
specified in FWCC 15-223 may petition the Municipal Court Commissioner for an extension oftime
to file such a request for hearing. Such extension shall only be granted upon the demonstration of
good cause as to the reason(s) the request for hearing was not timely filed. For the purposes of this
section, "good cause" shall be defined as circumstances beyond the control ofthe person seeking the
hearing. In the event such extension is granted, the person receiving such extension shall be granted
a hearing in accordance with this chapter.
(d) If a person fails to file a timely request for hearing and no extension to file such a request
has been granted, the right to a hearing is waived, the impoundment and the associated costs of
impoundment and administrative fees are deemed to be proper, and the City shall not be liable for
removal, towing, and storage charges arising from the impoundment.
, PAGE 6
ORD#
(e) In accordance with RCW 46.55.240 (1) (d), a decision made by a Municipal Court
Commissioner may be appealed to the Municipal Court Judge for final judgment. The hearing on

request for an appeal within fifteen (15) days after the date of the decision of the Municipal Court
Commissioner and must pay a filing fee in the same amount required for the filing of a suit in district
court. If a person fails to file a request for an appeal within the time specified by this section or does
not pay the filing fee, the right to appeal is waived and the Municipal Court Commissioner's
decision is final.
Section 15-226. Post-impoundment hearing procedure.
Hearings requested pursuant to FWCC 15-225 shall be held by a Municipal Court Commissioner,
who shall determine whether the impoundment was proper and whether the associated removal,
towing, storage, and administrative fees were proper.
(a) At the hearing, an abstract of the driver's driving record is admissible without further
evidentiary foundation and is prima facie evidence of the status of the driver's license, permit, or
privilege to drive and that the driver was convicted of each offense shown on the abstract. In
addition, Department of Licensing vehicle registration records of the impounded vehicle are
admissible without further evidentiary foundation and are prima facie evidence of the identity ofthe
registered owner of the vehicle.
(b) Ifthe impoundment is found to be proper, the Municipal Court Commissioner shall enter
an order so stating. In the event that the costs of impoundment (removal, towing and storage) and
administrative fee have not been paid or any other applicable requirements ofFWCC 15-224(a) or
(b) have not been satisfied or any period of impoundment under FWCC 15-222 has not expired, the
Municipal Court Commissioner's order shall also provide that the impounded vehicle shall be
released only after payment to the City of any fines imposed on any underlying traffic or parking
infraction and satisfaction of any other applicable requirements ofFWCC 15-224( a) or (b) and after
expiration of any period of impoundment under FWCC 15-222. The Municipal Court Commissioner

of impoundment to the towing company.
(c) Ifthe impound is found to be improper, the Municipal Court Commissioner shall enter an
order so stating and order the immediate release of the vehicle. If the costs of impoundment have
already been paid, the Municipal Court Commissioner shall enter judgment against the City in favor
of the person who has paid the costs of impoundment in the amount of the costs ofthe impoundment.
(d) In the event that the Municipal Court Commissioner finds that the impound was proper,
but that the removal, towing, storage, or administrati ve fees charged for the impound were improper,
the Municipal Court Commissioner shall determine the correct fees to be charged. If the costs of
ORD#
, PAGE 7
impoundment have been paid, the Municipal Court Commissioner shall enter ajudgment against the
City and in favor of the person who has paid the costs of impoundment for the amount of any
overpayment.
(e) No detennination of facts made at a hearing under this section shall have any collateral
estoppel effect on a subsequent criminal prosecution and shall not preclude litigation of those same
facts in a subsequent criminal prosecution.

conducted according to, and is subject to, the procedures ofthis section. Ifthe Municipal Court finds
that the impoundment or the removal, towing, storage, or administrative fees are improper, any
judgment entered against the City shall include the amount of the filing fee.
(g) As to any impoundment arising from an alleged violation under this article, if it is
detennined to be improper, then the law enforcement officer directing the impoundment and the
government employing the officer are not liable for damages if the officer relied in good faith and
without gross negligence on the records ofthe Washington Department of Licensing in ascertaining
that the operator of the vehicle had a suspended or revoked driver's license.

FROM:
SUBJECT:
Proposed Impound Ordinance
In 2000, the City Manager convened task force, comprised of city staff from the Law, Public Safety,
and Management Services Departments, and from the Municipal Court. The task force's mission was
to examine and recommend measures to halt the spiraling increases in the City's jail costs. One of
the measures identified was an ordinance to authorize impoundment of vehicles of drivers arrested
for driving with a suspended or revoked license.
A draft ordinance was prepared by the City Attorney, and reviewed and revised by the task force. The
final product is attached. The following memorandum sets forth: (1) a brief history of impounding
vehicles; (2) current, local statistics as to the effectiveness of impoundment; and (3) highlights of
the proposed ordinance.
HISTORY
Although auto use provides many benefits, auto accidents pose a large threat to public safety. In
1995, there were 6.6 million auto accidents nationwide; one third those resulted in injuries. 1 The
sheer number of auto accidents highlights the need to identify and control high-risk drivers,
which includes those drivers with suspended, revoked licenses. While studies show that
traditional license actions (restriction / suspension / revocation) can be the most effective
countermeasures for high-risk drivers, the studies also illuminates a glaring weakness in such
sanctions: up to 75% of the drivers with suspended/revoked licenses continue to drive. These
drivers are 3.7 times more likely to be involved in a fatal auto accident than the average driver,
and thus, pose a significant traffic risk and threaten public safety.
To address this problem, local jurisdictions began developing impound laws. Both Manitoba,
Canada and Portland, Oregon enacted impound laws in 1989, and Santa Rosa, California enacted
them in 1993. The early results of the local impound laws showed success. In addition to getting
the high-risk drivers off the roads, a secondary effect of the impound laws is the reduction of the
1 See DeYoung, "An Evaluation of the Specific Deterrent Effect of Vehicle Impoundment on Suspended, Revoked
and Unlicensed Drivers in California, California Department of Motor Vehicles" (1997) at iii (citing NHTSA 1996
data).

recidivism rate. Portland statistics showed a 50% reduction in recidivism, while Manitoba
statistics also confinned that the impound laws reduced the DWLS/DUI recidivism.
Following on the heels of this success, in 1994 the California Legislature enacted two stringent
bills: one providing for vehicle impoundment for thirty days when the driver is cited for DWLS,
and one providing for forfeiture of a vehicle if a registered owner having a previous DUI or
DWLS convictions commits a DWLS offense. A 1997 California study examined the results
from four California cities (Riverside, San Diego, Stockton and Santa Barbara) that implemented
the impound law. The study showed that impound laws significantly reduced recidivism. First
time offenders who had their vehicle impounded were 23.8% less likely to commit a subsequent
DWLS offense, and 18.1 % less likely to commit any subsequent traffic offense. Subsequent auto
accidents were also reduced, by 24.7%. The recidivism effect for repeat offenders is even higher
with a reduction of 34.2% DWLS offenses, 22.3% traffic convictions and 37.6% auto accidents.
THE WASHINGTON EXPERIENCE
The data gathered by California, both on the public safety threat posed by high-risk drivers, as
well as on the success of California impound laws, prompted the Washington Legislature to act.
In 1998 the Legislature found that drivers driving with suspended or revoked licenses threaten
public safety and that there was a need to authorize vehicle impoundment. Accordingly, the
Legislature enacted RCW 46.55.113 authorizing the impounding of vehicles, but only if the local
jurisdiction first adopts an ordinance authorizing impounds.
Growing DWLS caseloads, driven primarily by the recidivism of DWLS offenders, is leading
many local governments in Washington to examine the feasibility of an impound ordinance
under RCW 46.55.113. In Seattle, for example, prior to enactment of an impound ordinance,
recidivists comprised 17% of the DWLS offender population, but committed 34% of all DWLS
cases. In Federal Way, DWLS bookings make up a growing percentage of all bookings: 20% in
1998, increasing to 25% in the first half of 2000. Yet, days spent in jail by DWLS offenders
accounted for 28-31 % of all jail days by Federal Way defendants over the same period.
DWLS causes other problems as well. DWLS offenders often fail to appear for their court
appearance. As a result, the court issues an arrest warrant. Officers subsequently arrest the
offender and book himlher into jail on the outstanding arrest warrant, and then the offender
spends additional time in jail awaiting trial if he/she cannot post bail. Thus, because of a high
FT A rate, DWLS cases cause the City to incur additional jail costs as well as the expense of
added staff time. Due in part to these factors, the City's j ail costs have increased an average of
104 % per year since 1991.

Based on these statistics, Seattle and several other jurisdictions have adopted impound
ordinances. These include: Fife, Richland, Island County, Yelm, Marysville, SeaTac, Roy, Mill
Creek, Lakewood, Woodinville, and Kent.
In particular, Seattle's statistics show that an impound ordinance is extremely effective. Seattle's
recently released statistics (excerpts attached) show that compared to 1998 (prior to the impound
ordinance), DWLS jail bookings have dropped by 37%, as compared to only a 5% drop in other
types of bookings in Seattle. Likewise, DWLS bookings decreased 37% in Seattle, as compared
to only a 5% drop in DWLS bookings in the rest of King County. Seattle's court filings for
DWLS 3 decreased by 24%, and DWLS 1 and 2 dropped by 33%. Meanwhile, DWLS
recidivism dropped by 50% and, accordingly, prosecutions for DWLS fell by 61 %.2 Last but
certainly not least, the reduced DWLS bookings decreased jail costs: Seattle estimates that it
saved $370,000 in jail costs for the years 1999 and 2000 ($170,000 for 1999, $200,000 for 2000).
And, the reduced court filings allow Seattle prosecutors focus on prosecuting other crimes.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
In light of Seattle's success, and the success of other jurisdictions, the City's j ail cost reduction
task force developed its own ordinance. The ordinance, which incorporates the best features
from ordinances from Seattle and the eleven other jurisdictions which currently impound
vehicles, was reviewed by task force members and revised based on their suggestions.
Impoundment Authorized
The proposed ordinance authorizes (but doesn't require) officers to impound vehicles when the
driver is arrested for committing first-degree Driving While License Suspended ("DWLS"),
second-degree DWLS, third degree DWLS and No Valid Operator's License ("NVOL"). DWLS
1 occurs when an individual drives after having been found by the Department of Licensing to be
a Habitual Traffic Offender, based on 3 or more convictions for serious driving crimes3 or 20 or
more findings that the driver committed a moving traffic violation. RCW 46.20.342(1)(a).
DWLS 2 is usually a result of a mandatory suspension, i.e. one-year suspension as part of a
conviction for Driving Under the Influence (Dill). RCW 46.20.342(1 )(b). DWLS 3 occurs
when a person drives after being suspended for failure to respond to a notice of a traffic
infraction, failure to appear in court, or failure to pay court-imposed fines or obey other court-
imposed conditions for traffic infractions. RCW 46.20.342(1)(c). A NVOL occurs when an
individual drives after failing to obtain a driver's license whatsoever or, in certain circumstances,
after his or her driver's license has been revoked.
2 See Excerpts from City of Seattle, DWLS Impound: 2000 Year End Report (May, 2001)(attached). .
3 These crimes include vehicular homicide, DUI, DWLS 2, reckless driving, or attempting to elude a police vehicle.

hnpoundmentPeriods
The proposed ordinance provides for graduated mandatory periods of impoundment, depending
on the number ofDWLS violations. For example, there is no mandatory period of impoundment
for an individual arrested for DWLS 3 or NVOL who has been convicted of DWLS or NOVL
once or less in the last five years. However, a thirty-day mandatory period of impoundment
applies when an individual is arrested for DWLS 3 or NVOL and been convicted of DWLS or
NOVL two or more times within the last five years. Likewise, an individual arrested for DWLS
I or 2, who has not been convicted ofDWLS I or DWLS 2 in the last five years, is subject to a
thirty-day impoundment; if convicted once ofDWLS I or 2 within the last five years is subject to
sixty days impoundment; and if convicted two or more times ofDWLS 1 or 2 within the last five
years is subj ect to ninety days impoundment.
Notice Requirements
If a vehicle is impounded, the proposed ordinance requires written notice to be provided to the
driver and the registered owner, if the latter is not the driver. The impounding officer must
provide the name of the registered tow truck operator, its address and telephone number; the
location and time of the impound and by whose authority; the mandatory impound period; and a
form describing the right to and the process for redeeming the vehicle and/or appealing the
impound. Within twenty-four hours the tow truck operator must mail a copy of the notice to the
registered owner, if not the driver, and must file proof of mailing with the Municipal Court. If
the tow truck operator desires the owner to pay a security deposit, the notice must also state that
the registered owner must pay one-half of the estimated storage charges as a security deposit;
pursuant to state statute, if the deposit is not paid within five days the vehicle may be auctioned.
Redemption
The redemption of the vehicle is limited to (1) the registered owner of the vehicle, (2) someone
whom the registered owner has authorized to redeem it, or (3) someone who purchased the
vehicle and provides proof of ownership. The redeeming individual must posses a valid driver's
license, provide proof of ownership, pay $100 administrative fee plus towing costs, and obtain a
receipt for release from the Municipal Court. If the vehicle was impounded when the registered
owner was driving, the vehicle cannot be released until the registered owner pays all fines and
penalties the owner may owe for other traffic infractions or crimes.
Appeals
A registered owner or person challenging an impound may appeal the impound to a Municipal
Court commissioner, by submitting a written petition within 10 days of the date of impound. The
appeal may contest either the validity of the impound, the amount of towing and storage charges,
Council Members
Proposed Impound Ordinance
May 29,2001
Page 5 of 6
or both. The Municipal Court Commissioner's decision may be appealed to the Municipal Court
Judge.
Hardship Provisions
The ordinance contains several "hardship" provisions designed to ameliorate its effect in difficult
cases. For example, the registered owner may enter into a time payment plan with the Municipal
Court, to pay back fines and penalties if necessary to secure a receipt for release. In addition, the
Municipal Court may grant a hardship exception to the mandatory period of impoundment, upon
receipt of a petition from the spouse of the driver, or the registered owner if the owner was not
the driver, demonstrating economic and personal hardship stemming from the unavailability of
the vehicle. Finally, following an appeal - even an unsuccessful appeal - the Municipal Court
may grant a time payment plan in cases of extreme financial need, and where there is an effective
guarantee of payment. In the event time payments are granted, the City will advance the costs of
impoundment to the towing company, and be reimbursed by the owner through the time
payments.
Tow Truck Company Registration Requirements
The proposed ordinance authorizes the City Manager to pursue contracts with one or more tow
truck companies. Tow truck operators providing service under the proposed ordinance must be
registered with the State. And, before auctioning any impounded vehicles, they must confirm
with Department of Licensing that the individual purchasing the auctioned vehicle has a valid
driver's license. They must also record (1) the date of sale, (2) the vehicle identification number
of the vehicle, (3) the name and address of the registered owner, and (4) the name, address,
driver's license number and expiration date of the purchaser. The tow truck operator must
maintain the records for six years and allow the City to inspect them at its request.
RECENT SUPERIOR COURT DECISION
CONCERNING CITY OF SEATTLE IMPOUND ORDINANCE
The City of Seattle's impound ordinance was recently the subject of a court challenge, heard
before Superior Court Judge Michael Trickey. In that case, defendants in five DWLS cases
challenged the impound of their vehicle as excessive fines in violation of the 8th Amendment of
the u.S. Constitution, as a denial of due process under the 14th Amendment ofthe U.S.
Constitution, and as an improper seizure in violation of Article 1, Section 7 of the Washington
Constitution. Judge Trickey denied the appeals' federal constitutional challenges, but upheld the
challenge to the impounds as improper seizures in violation of the Washington Constitution. A
copy of Judge Trickey's order is attached.
Council Members
Proposed Impound Ordinance
May 29,2001
Page 6 of 6
Specifically, Judge Trickey ruled that an impound is a "seizure" because it involves the
governmental taking of a vehicle into its exclusive custody. According to Judge Trickey,
seizures must be "reasonable," i.e., the impounding officer must make a reasonable inquiry as to
alternatives to impoundment, by "minimally attempt[ing], if feasible, to obtain a name from the
driver of someone in the vicinity who could move the vehicle. . . ."
Prior to entry of the final decision, the City of Seattle apparently informed the Court that it would
appeal if the ruling was adverse to the City. Judge Trickey therefore included in his order a
"stay" of all aspects of his order pending the outcome of the City's request for discretionary
review by the Court of Appeals. This means that City of Seattle officers are not required to make
an attempt to locate another driver before impounding a car. And, in fact, we understand that
Seattle will continue to enforce its ordinance pending any Court of Appeals decision prohibiting
enforcement.
Given the stay included in Judge Trickey's order, the Federal Way City Council may proceed with
adoption of the impound ordinance. This is because, in part, the ordinance authorizes but does not
require officers to impound vehicles. Upon adoption, the City Manager and Public Safety Director
will have several options: (1) implement the ordinance pending any decision from the Court of
Appeals, in the same manner that Seattle continues to implement its ordinance; (2) implement the
ordinance, but direct officers to make a minimal attempt to locate another driver before impounding;
or (3) refrain from implementing the ordinance at all until a final decision from the Court of Appeals,
which could take up to 18 months.
CONCLUSION
The proposed impound ordinance is a proven means to reduce DWLS crimes in Federal Way, protect
public safety by keeping suspended and revoked drivers off the road, reduce the City's jail costs,
protect the rights of individuals whose vehicles are impounded, and provide reasonable means for
vehicle redemption.

13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)
While license suspension/revocation has been shown to be effective, it is also known that most
suspended/revoked (SIR) drivers violate their illegal driving status and continue to drive, accruing traffic
convictions and becoming involved in crashes. In an attempt to strengthen license actions and to better
control SIR and unlicensed drivers, California enacted two laws effective January 1995 which provide for
the impoundment/forfeiture of vehicles driven by SIR and unlicensed drivers: The current study evaluates
the impact of vehicle impoundment on the I-year subsequent driving behavior of SIR and unlicensed
drivers who are subject to it.
The results show that drivers with no prior convictions for driving while SIR or unlicensed whose vehicles
are impounded have, relative to similar drivers whose vehicles were not impounded: 23.8% fewer driving
while suspended (DWS)/driving while unlicensed (DWU) convictions; 18.1 % fewer traffic convictions,
and; 24.7% fewer crashes. These group differences are even larger for repeat DWSIDWU offenders.
Repeat offenders who are impounded have 34.2% fewer DWSIDWU convictions, 22.3% fewer traffic
convictions and 37.6% fewer crashes. These findings provide strong support for impounding vehicles
driven by SIR and unlicensed drivers.

PREFACE--
This report is the final product of an evaluation of the speåfic deterrent effects of
ve~cle impoundment on suspended/revoked and unlicensed ßrivers in California.
It is part of a larger project funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety
A4ministration (NHTSA) which is being jointly undertaken by the California
Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and the National Public Services Research
Institute (NPSRI). The report was prepared by the Research and Development
Branch of the DMV under the administrative direction of Raymond C. Peck, Chief.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
The automobile is the primary mode of transportation in the United States, and
while it offers the benefits of convenience and quick mobility, crashes involving
autos exact a high societal toll and present a major public health problem. In 1995,
there were more than 6.6 million motor vehicle crashes in the United States, with
about one-third resulting in injury (NHTSA, 1996).
One avenue that has been pursued to ameliorate the crash problem in the United
States is to identify and better control high risk drivers, typically through sanctions
applied by the courts or law enforcement. Sanctions traditionally prescribed for
high-risk drivers include fines, license actions (restriction/suspension/revocation),
jail, community service, and alcohol treatment (and more. recently ignition
interlock). for alcohol-involved problem drivers. Studies examining the
effectiveness of these sanctions have consistently found that license actions (plus
alcohol treatment for drivers convicted of driving-under-the-influence [DUI]) are
some of the most effective countermeasures available for reducing the subsequent
crash and traffic conviction rate of high-risk drivers (DeYoung, 1997; Peck, 1991; Peck
& Healey, 1995; Wells-Parker, Bangert-Drowns, McMillen & Williams, 1995).
While license actions, particularly suspension/revocation, are effective, it has been
recognized for some time that they have significant limitations. . Perhaps their
major weakness is that they don't fully incapacitate the driver-as many as 75%
continue to drive during their period of license suspension/revocation (Hagen,
McConnell & Williams, 1980; van Oldenbeek & Coppin, 1965). And; while research
has shown that suspended/revoked (S/R) drivers drive less often and more
carefully during their period of license disqualification (Hagen et a1., 1980; Ross &
Gonzales, 1988), it has also been shown that they still pose an elevated traffic risk;
DeYoung, Peck and Helander (1997) found that SIR drivers in California have 3.7
times the fatal crash rate as the average driver.
So, while license suspension/revocation. is one of the most effective
countermeasures currently available to attenuate the traffic risk posed by problem
drivers, it is clear that there is considerable room for improvement. One relatively
recent approach to strengthen license actions, and also to incapacitate SIR and
ill
California's impoundment/forfeiture laws are the first to attempt such sanctions on
a large scale; there are about one million drivers in the state who are
suspended/revoked at any given time, and another estimated one million who are
~icensed. The few rigorous studies of vehicle-based sanc~ons that have been
conducted to date examine these sanctions undertaken on a relatively limited scale.
The current study evaluates California's large-scale attempt at vehicle
impoundment, and is designed to provide useful information to policy makers so
that informed decisions on traffic safety can be made. This study is part of a joint
project funded by NHTSA, which is being undertaken by the California Department
of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and the National Public Services Research Institute
(NPSRI). The California DMV has primary responsibility for the current study,
which evaluates how impounding vehicles affects the subsequent driving behavior
of SIR and unlicensed drivers who experience this sanction, as well as a follow-up
study, which will examine the effects of impoundment on all SIR and unlicensed
drivers in California, regardless of whether their vehicles are impounded.
Research Methods
Because there is no centralized database containing information on vehicles that
have been impounded, it was necessary to rely on police departments and courts to
provide this information. Four jurisdictions (Riverside, San Diego, Stockton and
Santa Barbara) that had record systems which would allow impoundment data to be
linked to driver record data in the DMV database were selected for inclusion in the
study.
This study compares the I-year subsequent driving records of subjects whose
vehicles were impounded with similar subjects (i.e., SIR and unlicensed drivers)
who would have had their vehicles impounded, but who did not because their
driving offense occurred in .1994, the year before the impoundment/forfeiture laws
were implemented. Because it was not feasible to randomly assign subjects to
impound or no-impound groups, statistical controls were used to attempt to control
potential biases resulting from pre-existing differences between the groups. While
statistical techniques, such as the analysis of covariance (ANCOV A) used in this
study, help control bias, they do not ensure that all sources of bias have been
v
Import~tly, the effects of v~hicle impoundment on subsequent DWS /DWU
convictions are not oruy statistically significant, they are also large enough to be
meaningful from a policy perspective. For first offenders in the impound group, the I
subsequent DWS /DWU conviction rate is 23.8% lower than the first offender i
I
control group rate, and for repeat offenders it is 34.2% lower: These findings are \
similar to those found for civil forfeiture in Portland Oregon (Crosby, 1995), and for ¡
ve~icle immobilization (Voas et al., 1997) and impoundment (Voas et aL, in press)
in Ohio, and thus provide further evidence that such vehicle-based sanctions can
lower recidivism rates of suspended/revoked and unlicensed drivers.
Subsequent total traffic convictions
The overall ANCOV A analysis demonstrated that drivers whose vehicles were
impounded had a lower average rate of subsequent total traffic convictions than
drivers who did not lose their vehicles, and that this difference was highly
statistically significant. The analysis also showed that this lower rate of subsequent
traffic convictions for impound versus control group drivers was greater for repeat
offenders than for first offenders, although this finding approached but did not quite
reach conventional levels of statistical significance. These results are portrayed in
Figure 2 below.

VIl
The findings from the analysis of subsequent crashes, like those from the other two
outcome measures previously described, are of a sufficient magnitude to be both
statistically significant and also to have important policy implications. First
offenders who have their vehicles impounded have 24.7% fewer subsequent crashes
th~ first offenders in the control group, while repeat offenc!ers in the impound
group have 37.6% fewer crashes than their counterparts in the control group. These
findings, considered along with those evaluatirlg the effects of vehicle
impoundment on traffic convictions, strongly suggest that this countermeasure has
a substantial effect in improving traffic safety.
Conclusion
The findings reported here provide strong support for impounding vehicles driven
by suspended/revoked and unlicensed drivers. They add weight to a small but
growing body of evidence that vehicle-based sanctions, whether they involve
immobilizing vehicles for a period of time through such devices as a "club" on the
vehicle's steering wheel, or whether they consist of simply seizing and impounding
vehicles, are an effective means for controlling the risk posed by problem drivers. It
is especially noteworthy that vehicle impoundment appears to be even more
effective with repeat offenders, a group whose high-risk driving has traditionally
been resistant to change.
Information obtained from a survey of law enforcement agencies in the state has
shown that while vehicle impoundment has been widely implemented, forfeiture
is simply not being used on any significant scale; thus, this study is really a study of
vehicle impoundment, not vehicle forfeiture. While concern has been expressed
about the failure of California law enforcement agencies and courts to utilize
vehicle forfeiture, in the end this lack of utilization of forfeiture may not matter
much. Impounding vehicles is having a substantial positive effect iri California,
and if Crosbýs (1995) findings in Oregon hold in California as well, going the extra
step of forfeiting vehicles may not produce much added benefit.

shaping the energy industry's
changing landscape
Puget Sound Energy is actively pursuing a strategy to meet
the massive changes currently affecting the utility industry.
Market forces are exerting tremendous pressures, with increased
demands for a high level of service, low cost, and more supply/
delivery choices by consumers. PSE has seized these changes as
an opportunity, and is shaping the energy industry's changing
landscape. The road well traveled has been rerouted. There's a
new way. . . and we're helping to pave the path.
A seruice-driuen energy company
Puget Sound Energy, headquartered in Bellevue, Washington,
is the largest energy utility in the state, growing about twice
the national average in number of customers. We are an
investor-owned, total energy company - providing electricity,
natural gas and energy-related services to more than 1.2 million
homes, farms and businesses in the Puget Sound region.
PSE anticipated and has been preparing for the changing
landscape that lies ahead, as other utilities struggled with how
to redefine themselves. Quite a number of utilities poured
hundreds of millions of dollars into new ventures such as
energy trading and the purchase of foreign utilities and
generation. PSE took a different approach. We focused our
future on the electric and natural gas distribution business
and initiated efforts to pioneer practices and systems that
would make us the best.
"We will be the best
distribution company,
bar none."

are basically the same. How those products are distributed will distinguish
the best energy company:
. high quality service

In addition to efficient
energy delivery, we
also offer faster servke

High Quality Seruice
PSE has already carved out a niche as the best service provider in the Northwest.
We consistently offer consumers the highest quality service at low costs. Our
customers have responded positively. Each year, we measure ourselves against
10 service-quality benchmarks established in cooperation with the Washington
Utilities and Transportation Commission. And consistently over the past years,
we've met or exceeded them.

PERSONAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Giving you the power to save on energy.
The price PSE pays for the electricity we bring to your home or business
varies throughout the day (even though you pay one average cost). At
night, on weekends and on holidays, there are real bargains available.
When consumcrs want a lot of electricity, typicaUy when you start your
day or during dinnertime, the cost is much higher.
So why should I care?
Two reasons. First, your electric bill in the future
may directly reflect these changing prices. l1ús
means you would savc money by using the
. cheaper power available in the "economy'" and
::¡;¡, "bargain'" time slots. You would also pay more
if you decide to use a lot of electricity during the
expensive times. Secondly, when we are providing
your electricity during those '"expensive" times of the day, less efficient
power sources have to be used. The less we have to crank up these
1ow gas mileage'" verucles, the better it is for the environment.
A REAL
BARGAIN
You have my attention; What can I do?
Check out this chart, which shows how much
electricity you used last month and when you used
it. lñe more you're able to shin your electrical
usage to the '"economy" and "bargain" times, the
better it is for the envirorunent and YOU.

PUGET SOUND ENERGY EARNS ELECTRIC INDUSTRY'S
HIGHEST HONORS-THE EDISON AWARD
NEW ORLEANS (June 5, 2001) -Pioneering the use of real-time electricity pricing
and metering, Puget Sound Energy has been awarded the 42nd Annual Edison Award. The
award is given by the Edison Electric Institute (EEl) to the U.S. shareholder-owned member
and international member making the most outstanding contributions to the advancement of
the industry. EEl announced the awards today at Electricity.' Powering the New Marketplace,
in New Orleans. Bill Weaver, President and CEO of Puget Sound Energy accepted the
award.
"PSE is a pioneer, II said Thomas R. Kuhn, President of Edison Electric Institute. "Puget
took a look, saw what is and what can be, and through hard work and leadership, became the
first electric utility to invest in the technology of real-time meters for all customer classes.
They have led the way with respect to smart metering, which is beneficial to customers,
energy efficiency and the environmenf' said Kuhn.
Puget Sound Energy, Bellevue, Wash., the utility subsidiary of Puget Energy (NYSE:
PSD), became the first electric distribution utility in the nation to provide time-of-day price and
comparative time-of-day consumption information to all classes of customers. This program

successfully exposes customers to the cost savings and efficiency benefits of shifting
electricity demand to off-peak periods. Customers can plan and check their energy usage on
PSE's Website, using the Personal Energy ManagementTM system (PEM). Overall, the
company is honored for combining advanced technology with practical tools that will give
customers a real stake in energy markets.
Two other companies also were honored with the Edison Award. Constellation Energy
Group, headquartered in Baltimore, Md. is the other domestic utility winner, honored for the
successful relicensing of its Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. This is the first nuclear plant
relicensing in the nation. Kansai Electric in Osaka, Japan was also honored for the cutting
edge transmission line they built underwater across the Kii channel.
A committee of national trade journal editors reviewed the nominees and a panel of judges
consisting of current and past EEl chairmen and academicians selected the winners.

Real-time pricing will lead up to $15 billion annual electricity cost-savings
PSE CEO Bill Weaver cites potential savings upon receiving top industry award
BELLEVUE, WASH. (June 5) - Citing the potential for annual electricity-cost savings of up to
$15 billion, Puget Sound Energy President and Chief Executive Officer William S. Weaver
today told utility CEOs that nationwide implementation of real-time electricity pricing will lead
to lower costs, more efficient use of energy and benefits for the environment.
Weaver noted that providing consumers with proper price signals and time-based
information about their electricity consumption will lead to savings arising from consumers
reducing electricity use during the high-priced, peak-demand hours. These savings will result
from the lower wholesale market prices for power due to the drop in demand. He made his
remarks upon accepting the Edison Award, the number-one industry honor, on behalf of Puget
Sound Energy at the Edison Electric Institute's Annual Conference in New Orleans, La.
"We are honored to be recognized for industry leadership in developing and expanding
consumer-capability to receive and react to electricity price signals that allow our end-use
consumers to make informed buying decisions," said Weaver. "This award confirms what our
industry already knows: Consumers must be empowered with information that shows them the
true cost of the energy they consume. Only then, they will realize the full environmental and
cost-benefits available to them," Weaver added.
Puget Sound Energy, the utility subsidiary ofPuget Energy (NYSE: PSD), is the first
utility in the nation to offer hundreds of thousands of households time-of-day rates and
comparative electricity usage information. The Washington Utilities and Transportation
Commission this spring approved a time-of-day billing plan that went into effect May I for
300,000 Puget Sound Energy residential customers.

low Cost
Cost per customer
PSI's continued success in the new energy arena demands delivery of high
quality service at low cost. Delivering one without the other won't cut it.
PSI is rated one of the top five most energy efficient investor-owned combined
gas and electric utilities in the nation, with a $168 per-customer operating
cost, compared to the country's average of $265.

Rduanced Technology
As part of our vision to be the best, we have taken an aggressive approach to
deploying a new generation of technologies that provide energy consumers with
choices and convenience never before possible. We have used technology in a
new way to lower cost and tailor energy use to consumer need. Our nerve center
is our advanced customer information system called ConsumerLinXTM, created by
Seattle-based software developer ConneXfM. It manages the entire customer
relationship by tying to other technologies, enabling us to manage multiple
channels of customer contact - via telephone, fax, Web and e-mail.

And with ConsumerLinX tied to our extensive wireless meter reading network,
Puget Sound Energy is at least two years ahead of the rest of the utility industry
in providing customers choices in managing their energy costs.
Our effective cost-management efforts pLace
us third nationally among investor-owned
combined gas/eLectric distribution companies
in terms of cost-per-customer.
Wireless network allows
two-way communication
We now have what every utility in the country wants. We are the first company
in the country that has the technology in place and operating which allows
customers to select services and make choices through a two-way, real-time wireless
communication network. The system automatically collects and transmits individual
customer usage data, and coupled with ConsumerLinX, is capable of matching
and billing customers' real-time energy usage with real-time energy market pricing.
The implications are immense for new products, new pricing, new options for
wise energy usage and broader choices for customers in general, and create a
technological alternative to deregulation in the energy industry.
Automated meters transmit data
PSI's integrated technology gives consumers real-time ways to gain control over
the supply and price of the energy they use.
Here are just some of the aduanced technology applications
PSE now has in operation:
. WireLess Communication Network - PSI is the industry leader in wireless
automated meter reading. The network meter reading system allows two-way
communication between customers' meters and PSI. It also enhances outage
detection, real-time usage information and a host of other features that stretch
the value of our customers' energy dollars. It is expected that installation on more
than 95 percent of the electric and natural gas meters in our service area will be
completed by the end of 2001.
. OnLine billing - PSI's customers will soon have real-time information
and control of their energy use, the ability to pay bills electronically, sign up
or deactivate service online, access account history, or purchase energy-related
products or services through the Internet.
. Home Comfort ControL - A system being tested that provides customers
and the utility with remote access, via Internet, to energy usage information
and home heating controls.
Real-time data links to customer records,
allowing access to daily billing,
consumption and pricing information.

Choice
The world of deregulation is a world of choice, but choice
can be provided without deregulation. People have a
better chance of making the best choice for themselves
if they're provided with good, solid information.
Our strategies for continued enhancements through
inspired changes and the use of new technologies will
offer our customers options about service, billing and
energy supply.
Outside seruice prouiders emerging
from new competitiue arena
New technologies, coupled with new systems and work
practices, are also driving PSE to take the lead in the
industry regarding how work is done. PSE is the first
utility in the country striving to broker a solution
between the macro forces developing in the outside
contracting arena and the traditional utility approach
of providing most of our services to customers in-house.
As the economics of increased competition have
squeezed utilities, a new, vibrant group of competitors
has emerged in the form of outside service providers
that specialize in high-quality construction services
to the communications, gas and power business at
very low costs.
PSE has begun to educate ourselves and our customers
on the issues emerging so that the inevitable changes
to come may be accommodated in a way that strengthens
and protects the company and our employees.
The future is here
Puget Sound Energy has the vision to anticipate changes
on the horizon, the creativity to shape them in new
and dynamic ways, and the leadership to help guide
our industry into the future.
