ATTACHMENTS: Memo and introduction ordinance to Finance, Economic Development and Regional Affairs
Committee dated November 28, 2001
------------------------.----------.-.------------------------'-'------______n - -------------.---.--.......-------------
SUMMARYIBACKGROUND: The proposed revisions ensure continuity with the new Comprehensiye Garbage,
Recyclables and Yard Debris Collection Contract (ftanchise agreement) with Waste Management, Inc. The goal of this
Code revision process is to consolidate and simplify the Code, and eliminate superfluous provisions. The proposed
reyisions are also intended to minimize unnecessary regulatory impacts to ratepayers. With limited exceptions, the
-oposed revisions are designed to instruct generators in handling their garbage, rather than instructing the hauler on how
go about its business - since this is the focus of the new ftanchise agreement.
These City Code changes are intended to go into effect in conjunction with the start of the new ftanchise agreement on
January 1,2002. A strike-out/underline yersion of the proposed changes to the City Code is attached to this
memorandum. In addition to revising de[mitions ftom Section 12-1 to reflect the new ftanchise agreement, highlights of
the reyised Code include:
"Adding additional flexibility for the City to designate disposallocation(s), allowing for potentiallower-cost
disposal options (Section 12-2).
"Repealing a conflicting statement regarding exclusion of County powers (Section 12-3). These powers are
already excluded as delineated by the existing Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement with King County. The reference to
RCW 70.95.160 could imply that the City desires to forgo Health Department support in solid waste enforcement, which
has not been the case in practice.
"Updating regulations concerning scayengíng and ownership of wastes, and clarifying that commercial
recyclables may be collected by parties other than the contracted Service Provider (Section 12-4).
*Eliminating provisions for the City to participate in regional Commercial recycling programs, as this service is
not regulated through our ftanchise agreement (Section 12-5). Commercial recycling has been substantially "deregulated"
since this code was first adopted, and these services are now ayailable on a "ftee market" basis.
"Adding authority for the City to prepare ftanchises or agreements in extending City authority to annexed areas
(Section 12-6).
*Clarifying proyisions concerning both illegal dumping (Section 12-22), and requirements for sufficient container
capacity for garbage (Section 12-30).
*Setting requirements for proper home composting (Section 12-23).
*Revising weight limits and usage parameters for yarious container types and sizes to reflect the new fj-anchise
agreement (Sections 12-24, 12-31, 12-34, 12-35).
* Adding proyisions regarding "Public Nuisance" resulting fj-om improper waste handling (Section 12-36),
provisions for handling hazardous waste (Section 12-38), and provisions for suspending service to problem customers per
the fj-anchise agreement (Section 12-39).
* Adding provisions regarding disabled service to reflect the new fj-anchise agreement (Section 12-37).
*Defining service providers in tenns of City authority (Sections 12-52,12-56).
*Eliminating some "Duties Required" that are instead specified in the new fj-anchise agreement (Section 12-55).
*Streamlining the fonnat of the Code, so that the City's role is clearly stated within sections, rather than being
repeated (hence the repeal of Section 12-57). For example, elements of the City's role are described in Sections 12-21,
12-24,12-31,12-33, and 12-52.
*Repealing requirements for billing fj-equency that are more appropriately specified in the fj-anchise agreement
(Section 12-73). Billing fj-equency is generally a cash-flow yersus billing-cost decision made by a hauler, and may also
vary by customer account type. In addition, State law would generally apply regarding debt collection (hence the repeal
of Section 12-77).
These highlighted changes are reflected in the attached proposed revisions to the Chapter 12 ofthe City Code. On
subsequent reyiew, the City Attorney recommended changes to two sections. These changes haye been incorporated into
the accompanying Ordinance.
Section 12-51 was modified to allow self-hauling "to an Administrator approyed collection site" as is in the current City
Code text. This change clarifies that self-hauling is not allowed by the Code if it results in illegal dumping or other
improper disposal.
Section 12-52 was modified to specifY that Service Proyiders may operate either under mutual agreement or a fTanchise.
This change was made to reflect that the City may proyide "granted fj-anchises" to State-regulated haulers with operations
in annexed areas, without requiring the execution of a negotiated agreement. A similar action is proposed by the other
SW/R related Ordinance on the City Council agenda, which grants Rabanco a fj-anchise pursuant to RCW 35A.14.900-

City Code Revisions for Solid Waste and Recycling

FROM:
VIA:
BACKGROUND
At its August 7, 2001 City Council Meeting, the City Council directed staff to prepare reyisions to
the Federal Way City Code to reflect the reyised Solid Waste Utility service structure and the new
solid waste service contract that resulted from the City's recent Request for Bids process. These
proposed reyisions focus on Chapter 12 of the City Code.
DISCUSSION
The proposed revisions ensure continuity with the new Comprehensiye Garbage, Recyclables and
Yard Debris Collection Contract (franchise agreement) with Waste Management, Inc. The goal of
this Code revision process is to consolidate and simplify the Code, and eliminate superfluous
proyisions- The proposed revisions are also intended to minimize unnecessary regulatory impacts
to ratepayers. With limited exceptions, the proposed reyisions are designed to instruct generators in
handling their garbage, rather than instructing the hauler on how to go about its business - since this
is the focus ofthe new fÌanchise agreement.
These City Code changes are intended to go into effect in conjunction with the start of the new
franchise agreement on January 1,2002- A strike-out/underline yersion of the proposed changes to
the City Code is attached to this memorandum. In addition to reyising definitions fÌom Section 12-
1 to reflect the new fÌanchise agreement, highlights ofthe revised Code include:
.
Adding additional flexibility for the City to designate disposal location(s), allowing for
potential lower-cost disposal options (Section 12-2).
.
Repealing a conflicting statement regarding exclusion of County powers (Section 12-3).
These powers are already excluded as delineated by the existing Solid Waste Interlocal
Agreement with King County. The reference to RCW 70.95-160 could imply that the City
desires to forgo Health Department support in solid waste enforcement, which has not been
the case in practice.
Updating regulations concerning scavenging and ownership of wastes, and clarifying that
commercial recyclables may be collected by parties other than the contracted Service
Proyider (Section 12-4).

.
Eliminating provisions for the City to participate in regional Commercial recycling
programs, as this service is not regulated through our franchise agreement (Section 12-5)-
Commercial recycling has been substantially "deregulated" since this code was first
adopted, and these services are now available on a "free market" basis.
.
Adding authority for the City to prepare ffanchises or agreements in extending City
authority to annexed areas (Section 12-6).
.
ClarifYing provisions concerning both illegal dumping (Section 12-22), and requirements for
sufficient container capacity for garbage (Section 12-30).
.
Setting requirements for proper home composting (Section 12-23).
.
Revising weight limits and usage parameters for various container types and sizes to reflect
the new franchise agreement (Sections 12-24, 12-31, 12-34, 12-35).
.
Adding provisions regarding "Public Nuisance" resulting from improper waste handling
(Section 12-36), provisions for handling hazardous waste (Section 12-38), and provisions for
suspending service to problem customers per the ffanchise agreement (Section 12-39).
.
Adding provisions regarding disabled service to reflect the new ffanchise agreement
(Section 12-37).
.
Defining service providers in terms of City authority (Sections 12-52, 12-56).
.
Eliminating some "Duties Required" that are instead specified in the new franchise
agreement (Section 12-55).
Streamlining the format of the Code, so that the City's role is clearly stated within sections,
rather than being repeated (hence the repeal of Section 12-57). For example, elements of the
City's role are described in Sections 12-21, 12-24, 12-31, 12-33, and 12-52.
. Repealing requirements for billing frequency that are more appropriately specified in the
ffanchise agreement (Section 12-73). Billing ffequency is generally a cash-flow versus
billing-cost decision made by a hauler, and may also yary by customer account type. In
addition, State law would generally apply regarding debt collection (hence the repeal of
Section 12-77).
These highlighted changes are reflected in the attached proposed revisions to the Chapter 12 of the
City Code.

SUMMARYIBACKGROUND: The City Council, at its August 7, 2001 meeting, directed staff to deyelop
documentation necessary for orderly extension of City Solid Waste regulatory authority to annexed areas. This
documentation reflects RCW 35A.14.900, which establishes a process for extension of this authority. The two main
components include issuing a fi-anchise to the incumbent solid waste hauler(s) and providing specific notice of City intent
begin regulating these areas.
There are seyeral benefits to begin regulation in newly annexed areas: creating consistent rates for all customers located
within the City, ensuring consistent application of the City utility tax, enhancing the City's ability to ensure that quality
service is provided to all customers, and reducing the potential for conflicts resulting when more than one hauler services
an area.
To complete the City's annexation history with respect to solid waste authority, the City proyided notice to both Rabanco
and Federal Way Disposal under a prior yersion ofthe RCWs for the City's only other annexation (Weyerhaeuser
Corporate, 1994). The notice period has since expired, and this annexation was duly incorporated into the Solid Waste
Utility and included under the new solid waste services contract. No claims to the contrary were submitted by either
hauler.
The revised RCWs set a seven-year period for the incumbent hauler(s) to continue serving the annexed areas. The intent
of the "granted" fi-anchise is for the WUTC to continue to set service standards and rates for these annexed areas during
this seven-year period. The other issue created by the revised RCW s is that an incumbent hauler may now claim
"measurable damages" at the conclusion of the seven-year notice period as a result of the City's extension of authority to
the annexation. There are only two current accounts in the four recent annexations (both of which are already serviced by
WM). Staff anticipates little controyersy with extension of City Solid Waste authority to these areas. There is potential
for these annexed areas to be developed, and as that happens, economic impacts will become a greater concern to
Rabanco. Therefore, it is beneficial for this notification process to begin now.
In pursuing a longer-term approach to annexation issues, staff will begin a negotiation process with Rabanco to develop a
contract/fi-anchise that expands upon the fi-anchise granted in the attached draft ordinance. The goal will be to establish a
nractical process for extension of City authority when future annexations occur in the City's Potential Annexation Area,
i to reduce the potential any future claims for "measurable damages".
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Finance, Economic Deyelopment and Regional Affairs
Committee recommends adoption of the ordinance and granting the solid waste hauling contract to Rabanco.

Extension of City Solid Waste Utility into Annexed Areas

SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND
The City Council, at its August 7, 2001 meeting, directed staff to develop documentation necessary
for orderly extension of City Solid Waste regulatory authority to annexed areas. This
documentation reflects RCW 35A.14.900, which establishes a process for extension of this
authority. The two main components include issuing a fi-anchise to the incumbent solid waste
hauler(s) and proyiding specific notice of City intent to begin regulating these areas. The attached
draft ordinance grants a fi-anchise that is designed to satisfy both components.
DISCUSSION
There are several benefits to begin regulation in newly annexed areas: creating consistent rates for
all customers located within the City, ensuring consistent application of the City utility tax,
enhancing the City's ability to ensure that quality service is proyided to all customers, and reducing
the potential for conflicts resulting when more than one hauler services an area.
The attached ordinance grants a fi-anchise to apply specifically to the Rabanco Companies
(Rabanco), one of two haulers regulated by the State Utilities and Transportation Commission
(WUTC) permitted to operate in the four City annexations that occurred after 1997 (please see
attached map). Note that the other hauler is Waste Management, Inc. (WM), owner of the former
Federal Way DisposaL WM has already complied with the terms set forth in RCW 35A.14.900
through acceptance ofproyisions in the City's new solid waste and recycling service contract, and
no additional notice is required for WM regarding these existing annexations.
To complete the City's annexation history with respect to solid waste authority, the City provided
notice to both Rabanco and Federal Way Disposal under a prior version of the RCWs for the City's
only other annexation (Weyerhaeuser Corporate, 1994). The notice period has since expired, and
this annexation was duly incorporated into the Solid Waste Utility and included under the new solid
waste services contract. No claims to the contrary were submitted by either hauler.
The reyised RCWs set a seyen-year period for the incumbent hauler(s) to continue serving the
annexed areas. The intent of the "granted" fi-anchise is for the WUTC to continue to set service
standards and rates for these annexed areas during this seven-year period. The other issue created
by the revised RCWs is that an incumbent hauler may now claim "measurable damages" at the
conclusion of the seven-year notice period as a result of the City's extension of authority to the
annexation. There are only two current accounts in the four recent annexations (both of which are
already serviced by WM). Staff anticipates little controyersy with extension of City Solid Waste
authority to these areas. There is potential for these annexed areas to be deyeloped, and as that

happens, economic impacts will become a greater concern to Rabanco. Therefore, it is beneficial
for this notification process to begin now.
In pursuing a longer-term approach to annexation issues, staff will begin a negotiation process with
Rabanco to develop a contractlti-anchise that expands upon the ti-anchise granted in the attached
draft ordinance. The goal will be to establish a practical process for extension of City authority
when future annexations occur in the City's Potential Annexation AIea. The negotiation process
will also be designed to reduce the potential for any future claims for measurable damages by
Rabanco for the areas that have already been annexed (as shown on the attached map). Staff will
keep the City Council informed as results are generated ti-om this negotiation process.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Finance, Economic Development and Regional Affairs Committee
(FEDRAC) forward the attached draft ordinance to the December 18, 2001 City Council Meeting
Agenda as an introduction ordinance with a recommendation of adoption of the ordinance and
granting the ti-anchise to Rabanco.

In the event an employee exhausts their accrued sick leave, the employee has the option
to use accrued vacation leaye or compensatory time.
Employees injured on the job shall not simultaneously collect sick, vacation or
compensatory leaye and Worker's Compensation payments greater than the employee's
regular pay. If the job related injury or illness requires the employee to be absent from
work, the time the employee is unable to work will be charged to sick leave. At the option
of the employee, when and if his sick leave is exhausted, compensatory time or accrued
yacation leaye may be used. In any event, the Employer shall pay only up to the
maximum of the difference between the payment received under Worker's Compensation
by such employee and his regular straight-time rate of compensation that he would have
receiyed from the Employer if able to work. Such payment by the Employer shall be
limited to the period of time that such employee has accumulated paid leave credits. The
foregoing shall be accomplished by the employee "buying back" sick and vacation leave
used with the time loss money from Worker's Compensation by turning the check oyer to
the City. Once the employee has bought back all ayailable sick and vacation leave, the
employee shall no longer accrue paid leave benefits and shall not be required to
surrender the time loss payments from Worker's Compensation to the City.
Bereayement Leave - An employee who has a member of his immediate family taken by

grandmother, grandfather, grandchildren, and equiyalent step relations.
With Employer approyal, an employee may use up to eight (8) hours of sick leave to
attend the funeral of a close friend or relative other than those set forth within Section
8.2.1
Based on unusual circumstances, the Employer may construe more broadly the definition
of immediate family to other persons living within the employee's household, or others
related to the employee by blood or marriage, or to established relationship having
attributes to familial ties.
Jurv Leave - The City acknowledges that its employees have obligations as citizens to
serve on juries and jury panels, and to appear in court as subpoenaed witnesses.
Employees will be provided up to 60 regularly scheduled hours leave with pay per
summons to participate as jurors or subpoenaed witnesses, unless appearing as a
witness, plaintiff, or defendant against the City in legal action. Compensation receiyed by
the employee, with the exception of mileage reimbursements, shall be reimbursed to the
City to the end that the employee shall not receive more total compensation in the form of
regular pay and compensation for jury duty than the employee would normally receive as
wages from the City. The City shall have the right, at the City's expense and after
consulting with the employee, to request the court to excuse the employee from any or all
jury duty if there are circumstances that would make the absence of the employee an
undue hardship on the City or other personnel.
If an employee has sufficient time to work one-half (1/2) day or more after being

nature of the medical problem and the anticipated length of absence. The City may
request written yerification from a licensed medical doctor that the employee is physically
disabled and verification of the extent of such disability and the projected date for return
to work. Temporary disability leaye shall only be granted for the period of disability and
shall not exceed six (6) months. The City shall continue to pay its portion of the
