MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 5, 2024
TO: Land Use & Transportation Committee
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: EJ Walsh, P.E., Public Works Director✓✓
Rebecca Kovar, Environmental Services Contract Coordinator RRK
SUBJECT: Resolution: 2025-2027 Solid Waste and Recycling Grant Approvals
Financial Impacts:
Revenues from the grants described in this memorandum will be encumbered into the City budget via the
following revenue accounts:
106-0000-000-334-03-010 DEPT OF ECOLOGY— LOCAL SOLID $ 130,000.00 (estimate)
WASTE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
106-0000-000-334-03-010 DEPT OF ECOLOGY— RAMP LITTER $ 60,000.00 (estimate
CLEANUP PROGRAM
106-0000-000-337-00-001 KC - HAZARDOUS WASTE MGMT. $ 22,000.00 (estimate)
106-0000-000-337-00-003 KC - WASTE REDUCTION GRANT $ 79,000.00 (estimate)
Grant revenues will be distributed within the 106 Solid Waste Special Revenue Fund to offset the costs of
eligible projects and services. This funding is considered "one-time" and will have no significant impacts
to General Fund administration.
Back round Information:
The Environmental Services Division (ES) requests City Council approval of four upcoming grants that
support solid waste and recycling projects. Combined, these four grants will provide an estimated $303,000
in revenue over the coming biennium. These non-competitive allocation grants fund an array of beneficial
projects to serve the Federal Way community. The attached City Council Resolution would approve
submittal of grant applications, entering into related inter -agency contracts or MOU's and encumbrance of
grant funds.
Discussion:
Projected Grant Amounts and Required Match: The Washington Department of Ecology's 2025-2027 Local
Solid Waste Financial Assistance Grant (LSWFA) is projected to be $130,000 with a 25% match
requirement of $32,500. The Washington Department of Ecology's 2025-2027 Ramp Litter Cleanup
Program grant is estimated to be $60,000. King County Solid Waste Division's 2025 Waste
Reduction/Recycling (WRR) grant is estimated to be $79,000 while the 2025 Hazardous Waste
Management Program (HWMP) is estimated to be $22,000 (plus $2,000 for ES staff support discussed
below). The WRR and HWMP grants have no match requirements, easily meeting LSWFA's 25% match.
The estimated funding from all four grants totals $291,000. This amount may vary, since final allocations
are adjusted based on population and participation of other cities.
Together, these grants fund waste reduction, recycling, and moderate risk waste projects that benefit Federal
Way residents and businesses. ES prepares applications and detailed project scopes and then coordinates
Rev. 6/2020
August 5, 2024
Land Use and Transportation Committee
Resolution: 2025-2027 Solid Waste and Recycling Grant Approvals
Page 2
grant contracts and ongoing reporting with grant agencies. Grant funding programmed into the ES budget
also reimburses for staff costs and overhead for related project implementation and reporting.
As in prior cycles, grant amounts are estimates, and award is contingent on adoption of respective budgets
by the State Legislature for the WA -DOE grants, King County Council for the WRR grant, and King County
Board of Health for HWMP funding. Related projects established by each grant's scope of work will only
be implemented after agencies have adopted respective budgets and subject to finalization of interagency
grant agreements.
LSWFA Funding May Vary: LSWFA funding'is routinely allocated in two distinct cycles: Regular and
Offset. This has allowed flexibility for unspent grant funds from one jurisdiction to be re -allocated to
successful projects in other jurisdictions. Federal Way has sought and received Offset -cycle funding in the
past, so the draft Resolution anticipates procuring Offset -cycle funding as well.
Funding City Staff Support for HWMP Administration: HWMP allocates $2,000 in additional funding to
Federal Way to offset ES staff support of this County -wide program. ES staff participate in the HWMP's
Moderate Risk Waste (MRW) Collection Committee which coordinates regional MRW services and
outreach.
City Council Approval Process: The attached draft Resolution serves several functions: it approves applying
for and receiving grant funds, specifies budget accounts, and outlines grant -specific projects. The draft
Resolution includes a summary table that shows anticipated grant funds, match, and related 2025-2027
projects.
Updates on Current Grant EM ects: To date, during the current 2023-2024 grant cycle, projects have
resulted in approximately $90,000 in reimbursable expenditures, through seven grant report/reimbursement
requests. Five additional requests will be prepared prior to close-out. Highlights of current waste reduction,
recycling, and moderate risk waste projects follow. These projects will continue to be supported by grant
funding in the upcoming cycle.
• Recycling Collection Services: Promoting, organizing and managing targeted Recycling Collection
Services including curbside collection services and/or offsetting the fees for use of King County and
private facility recycling services.
Interchange Ramp cleanup: Cleaning garbage, litter, and other debris from interchange ramps in
coordination with the Washington Department of Transportation.
• Residential and Community Outreach: Producing and distributing educational materials to residents,
providing an array of waste reduction, recycling and composting information, plus household hazardous
waste disposal options. Grant funds support community workshops on recycling -related topics, as well
as waste prevention initiatives such as the South King Tool Library and Repair Cafes focusing on repair
of mendable items. Grants also support public battery recycling drop-offs at local facilities.
Multi -Family Recycling Promotion: Supporting recycling services at multi -family residences
(including recycling signage and container labels, recycling tote bags for resident use, promotional
newsletters distributed directly to residents, and translations). Focused outreach will be provided to
allow recycling services at complexes serviced via "valet" (front door -step) refuse collection.

• Business Recycling Outreach: Assisting area businesses and organizations to implement or expand
commercial recycling efforts, including provision of interior recycling containers, signage and staff
training to suit each business. ES staff provides this outreach in conjunction with our franchised hauler's
staff. Information is distributed to describe disposal options for difficult to manage wastes.
Culturally Relevant Outreach: In furthering the Public Works Department's compliance with Title
VI, we will be making connections with culturally -focused community organizations to foster
transcreation/translation of waste reduction practices and outreach materials with specific appeal to
diverse groups residing in Federal Way.
The attached draft Resolution outlines projects funded by the combined grants. Pending approval by City
Council, notices of intent, draft scopes of work and grant applications will be prepared as needed meet grant
agencies timelines. This will be followed by contract execution, project/task implementation, and
reporting/reimbursement.-

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 23, 2024, updated August 6, 2024
TO: City Council
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Keith Niven, AICP, CEcD
SUBJECT: Recreational Vehicle Code Amendment
Financial Impacts:
There are no financial impacts to the City for considering this code amendment.
Background Information:
In March, the Council adopted an ordinace prohibiting parking of recreational vehicles on all
city streets in non-residential zones.
As this proposed ordinance moved through the Land Use & Transportation Committee, there
was a request from the City Council that staff consider further changes to City code that
might improve the allowance for RVs to be parked on residential properties.
The attached proposed code amendment considered codes from the cities of Bellevue,
Issaquah, Everett, Renton, and Des Moines. In addition, staff provided an informational
briefing to the Land Use & Transportation Committee on April 1, 2024. The purpose for this
presentation was to solicit input from the Committee prior to drafting the code amendment.
The Planning Commission received a briefing on this proposed code amendment on May 15,
2024.
Procedural Summary:
5/17/24: Issuance of Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) pursuant to the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) (24-101546-SE)

Public Comment
Rev. 7/18
The City received verbal comments from a resident at the LUTC briefing held on April 1,
2024 and at the Planning Commission briefing held on May 15, 20204. These comments
were considered as part of developing the proposed code amendments.
Decision Criteria:
FWRC 19.80.130 provides criteria for zoning text amendments. The following section
analyzes compliance of the proposed zoning text amendments with the criteria provided by
this chapter. The City may amend the text of the FWRC only if it finds that:
1. The proposed amendments are consistent with the applicable provisions of the
comprehensive plan.
Staff Response: The proposed FWRC text amendments support the following
Comprehensive Plan Goal and Policies:
LUP 1 Use development standards and design guidelines to maintain neighborhood
character and ensure compatibility with surrounding uses.
LUP 10 Support the continuation of a strong residential community.
LUG3 Preserve and protect Federal Way's single-family neighborhoods.
LUP 13 Maintain and protect the character of existing single-family neighborhoods
through strict enforcement of the City's land use regulations.
2. The proposed amendments bear a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare.
Staff Response: The current code provides a size limitation to recreational vehicles and
boats. The proposed FWRC text amendments bear a substantial relationship to the public
health, safety, and welfare because the amendments 1) remove the somewhat arbitrary size
limitations allowing for these vehicles and trailers to be legally parked and stored on
residential property; and 2) include more detailed siting criteria that must be met:
a. including utility trailers to the regulations and provisions;
b. ensuring the rv, boat, or utility trailer does not create a sight visibility hazard;
c. requiring the rv, trailer, or boat belong to the resident of the property;
d. requiring the rv, trailer, or boat to be licensed and operable; and,
e. limiting the number of these items stored outdoors on each property to 1 of each.
3. The proposed amendments are in the best interest of the residents of the City.
Staff Response: The proposed amendments include an evaluation of regulations imposed by
nearby cities and incorporates those relevant to Federal Way. Although the proposed
amendments remove the somewhat arbitrary size limitations, the incorporation of additional
limitations will minimize the occurrence of RVs, utility trailers and boats become a
neighborhood nuisance.
Amendments from Committee:
On August 5, 2024, the Land Use & Transportation Committee discussed the proposed code
amendments relating to recreational vehicles, utility trailers, and boats. Pursuant to that
Rev. 7/18
conversation, the proposed Ordinance was updated as follows:
(6) The utility trailer or boat shall be owned by a resident or the property owner. The
recreational vehicle shall be owned or occupied by the property resident or the property
owner.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, recreational vehicles, utility trailers, or boats may be parked
temporarily for loading and unloading activities regardless of whether such parking is
consistent with the requirements of this section.
Mayor's Recommendation:
The Mayor recommends approving the proposed code amendments.

Under City contracting rules, Council must authorize applications for grants, and must also
authorize all interlocal agreements. On July 2, 2024, the Community Development
Department received authorization from City Council to apply for the Washington Military
Emergency Department Emergency Management Division Extreme Weather Response
Grant. Subsequently, the grant agency informed the City that as part of the application
process the City must sign and submit a fully executed Response Funds Agreement, which is
an interlocal agreement between the City and the grant agency.
With submission of the Agreement, the City will be agreeing to the contractual terms in the
Agreement, but the terms and conditions will only be binding on the City should the City be
approved as a recipient. The Community Development Department is therefore seeking City
Council approval to enter into the Response Funds Agreement to complete the application
process.

Background Information:
The previous collective bargaining agreement expired December 31, 2021, and
negotiations for a new contract began in the fall of that year. After months of collective
bargaining, the parties were unable to reach a tentative agreement on wages and agreed
to enter mediation through the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC).
However, turnover within the bargaining teams and at PERC delayed and extended the
mediation process. In 2023, the bargaining unit voted against the mediator's
recommended settlement. With negotiations at an impasse, the contract was scheduled
for resolution through interest arbitration in August 2024. However, just before
arbitration, the parties reached a tentative agreement, which was subsequently ratified
'by the bargaining unit and is presented to the Council for authorization.
Mayor's Recommendation:
Approve the proposed CBA with Teamsters Local Union No. 117 representing the
Lieutenants.

3 Floating Holidays
The Union will work with the City to minimize any overtime impact of the
additional holiday time being used before year end.
For employees hired after January 1 st in a given year, the City may prorate the
hours to be banked and shall bank (provide) the number of hours of holiday pay
calculated by multiplying the number of holidays remaining to be celebrated in that
year by eight (8) hours (e.g., for an employee hired on March 1 st, sixty-four (64) hours
calculated by multiplying the number of holidays remaining to be celebrated in that
year [eight (8)] by eight (8) hours).
If an employee permanently leaves the service of the employer before
December 31st of any given year, the City may deduct banked hours credited to the
employee's holiday pay bank equal to the number of holidays remaining to be
celebrated in that year multiplied by eight (8) hours, as well as eight hours for the
floating holiday if the termination occurs prior to July 1 st of that year.
In addition to the one hundred and twelve (112) banked holiday hours, the City shall
also provide 22 holiday hours (total of 134 hours in the holiday bank) which will not be
prorated, but will be a lump sum added at the beginning of the calendar year or upon
commencement of employment. If hired before July 1, the employee will receive the
additional twenty-two (22) hours upon commencement of employment. However, if
hired on or after July 1, the employee will receive only eleven (11) hours upon
commencement of employment.
The three (3) floating holidays are banked on January 1st of each year, provided that
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2022-2024 Page 14
the City shall not be requested to bank hours for floating holidays for any employee
hired on or after July 1st during the employee's year of hire. Floating holidays are use
or lose, will not be carried forward or chased out if an employee permanently leaves
the service of the employer.
Section 2. Work on Holidays
The decision of whether an employee will be required to work on an observed
holiday will be made by the City. Employees working on Thanksgiving Day,
Christmas, New Year's Day shall be paid at time and one half for each hour worked.
Employees working on Independence Day shall be paid at double time for each hour
worked.
Section 3. Use of Banked Holiday Hours
All employees shall make reasonable efforts to expend their banked holiday
hours prior to the end of each year (December 31). Employees may use their banked
holiday hours in increments no smaller than two (2) hours and shall use all banked
holiday hours prior to using any vacation hours. Banked holiday hours shall be used
on a first earned, first out (FIFO) basis.
In the event an employee does not use all of their banked holiday hours prior
to December 31, the employee will forfeit the remaining banked holiday hours, except
that an employee may carryover unused banked holiday hours until June 30 of the
following year, if:
a. the employee makes a reasonable effort to use their banked holiday
hours/pay, the employee is denied the opportunity to use banked holiday
hours/pay by their supervisor, and the employee has written
documentation of said effort in the form of completed Department leave
request forms reflecting that the use of banked holiday hours/pay had
been denied by the employee's supervisor, and/or

because of approved leave resulting from military service, long term
disability, work related injury, or a similar reason.

the City shall provide employees and the Union with annual reports in October of each
year reflecting the amount of banked holiday hours/pay for each bargaining unit
employee.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2022-2024 Page 18
Accrual
As established by law, an employee shall accrue one (1) hour of Washington
Paid Sick Leave for every forty (40) hours worked. Washington Paid Sick Leave will
accrue in conjunction with regular sick leave according to the collective bargaining
agreement.
Carry Forward_
The total sick leave hours that will be carried forward at year-end, for both
standard sick leave and Washington Paid Sick Leave, will be one thousand eighty
(1,080) hours. This will include a maximum of forty (40) hours of Washington Paid
Sick Leave as provided by law. If an employee is not at the maximum carry forward
of one thousand eighty (1,080) hours, any hours of Washington Paid Sick Leave in
excess of the forty (40) hour carry forward amount will be transferred to the City sick
leave bank, so that the employee does not lose hours that they previously would have
banked prior to the establishment of Washington Paid Sick Leave. In no case will
more than a combined total of one thousand eighty (1,080) hours be carried forward.
Verification of Absences Exceeding Three Days
If an employee is seeking to use or has used Washington paid Sick Leave for
authorized purposes or more than three (3) consecutive days during which the
employee is/was required to work, the employee may be required to provide
documentation that establishes or confirms that the use of paid sick leave is for an
authorized purpose.
Reinstatement of Employment
Employees separating or retiring from employment will not be provided with
financial or other reimbursement for unused, accrued Washington State Paid Sick
Leave. If an employee leaves employment and is rehired within twelve (12) months
of separation, any accrued, unused paid sick leave will be reinstated to the employee's
paid sick leave bank. Should the reinstatement occur in a new fiscal year, the
maximum bank will be the forty (40) hours carry over provided that the employee had
forty (40) or more hours banked upon separation.
Retaliation Prohibited
Pursuant to Chapter 296-128-770 of the WAC, any discrimination or retaliation
against an employee for lawful exercise of paid sick leave rights is prohibited.
Employees will not be disciplined for the lawful use of Washington Paid Sick Leave.
Section 4. Sick Leave Payment at Time of Retirement
a. LEOFF Retirement. Upon retirement into LEOFF II, the City agrees to
pay twenty-five percent (25%) of an employee's unused accrued sick
leave hours and unused accrued Washington paid Sick Leave hours at
the employee's current hourly rate with a cap of two hundred seventy
(270) hours. See HRA VEBA Article 9, Section 4b.
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2022-2024 Page 19
b. Death in the Line of Duty. The City agrees to pay one hundred percent
(100%) of an employee's unused accrued sick leave hours and unused
accrued Washington Paid Sick Leave hours at the employee's current
hourly rate when death occurs in the line of duty.
Section 5. Industrial Insurance Leave
If the state grants industrial insurance benefits, the Lieutenant will remain fully
compensated under the City's "kept on salary" program ("Program"). The Program
will continue the full salary, excluding extra -duty overtime, without deducting any leave
for thirty (30) days. In the event the Lieutenant cannot return to work on the thirty-first
(31 st) day, the Lieutenant would become eligible for time loss.
Unless otherwise required by State law, the procedure for workers'
compensation time loss payment/reimbursement will be as follows:
State Industrial Insurance will pay time loss compensation according to a set
formula based on marital status and number of dependents. Lieutenants cannot use
sick leave and receive worker's compensation at the same time, because this results
in "double payment". Lieutenants must use the time loss money from worker's
compensation to "buy back" the sick leave used. Compensatory time cannot be
bought back. "Buy back" for vacation leave is optional. Since worker's compensation
only pays a percentage of full wages, a Lieutenant can only "buy back" a percentage
of the leave used with that money, however, the Lieutenant will not suffer the income
loss that occurs when they only receive worker's compensation benefits. When an
employee receives a worker's compensation time loss check, they should turn the
check over to payroll. Based upon the Lieutenant's hourly rate and the amount of
worker's compensation time loss received, payroll will determine the amount of leave
to be bought back. Payroll will notify the Lieutenant when all available sick leave
and/or vacation leave has been used, and then the employee will keep additional
worker's compensation time loss payments until they are able to return to work. The
City will continue to pay its portion of health insurance premiums for up to a total of six
6) months while a Lieutenant is on "kept on salary" and subsequently receiving
workers' compensation time loss payment.
A Lieutenant who has been away from work due to an injury may not return to
work without a written statement from the appropriate medical personnel stating the
Lieutenant is able to resume their job duties, or specifying limits on duties which can
be performed.
Section 6. Family Care and Death
a. Bereavement Leave
Regular, full-time employees shall be entitled to three (3) days (30
hours) of bereavement leave due to death of a member of the
employee's immediate family or domestic partner. Regular, full-time
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2022-2024 Page 110
employees, who have exhausted their bereavement leave, shall be
entitled to use sick leave in the amount of up to three (3) days (30 hours)
when death occurs to a member of the employee's immediate family or
domestic partner. Upon approval by the Chief of Police, an additional
twenty (20) hours of sick leave may be used by the employee when
death occurs to a member of the employee's immediate family or
domestic partner.
b. Family Care Leave
Employees may use sick leave for family care purposes in accordance
with state law and the City's Employee Guideline.
C. Immediate Family
Immediate family is defined as the employee's parent, spouse or
domestic partner, children, sister, brother, mother-in-law, father-in-law,
sister-in-law, brother-in-law, grandparents, grandchildren, aunt, uncle,
and step -relations equivalent to those listed. As its option, the Chief of
Police may construe this definition more broadly to include other persons
living in the employee's household, or to established relationships
having attributes to familial ties.
Section 7. Statement of Physician
The City may reasonably require a physician's statement for the purpose of
assuring that sick leave benefits are being used in conformance with this article, to
verify that a lieutenant has been released to return to duty, and for FMLA related
compliance.
Section 8. Fitness for Duty
The City may require that an employee take a fitness for duty examination when
the City has reasonable doubt that the employee can perform the essential functions
of the job.
Section 9. Federal Way Community Center Membership
Union members will be eligible to participate in the Federal Way Community
Center's employee discount program as outlined in the Employee Guidelines.
Section 10. FMLA Leave
For purposes of determining the twelve (12) week leave period provided by
the FMLA, such period shall run concurrent with the employee's accrued paid leave
period. The amount of leave available for use is based upon a rolling twelve (12)

Section 13. Alternate Duty/Early Return to Work
The City recognizes the value of trained lieutenants and, therefore, offers the
Alternate Duty/Early Return to Work Program in accordance with the Employee
Guidelines to all injured employees, whether injured on -duty or off. The City will work
in good faith with the attending physician to return the employee to work as soon as
possible or to provide alternative work for a maximum of six months. If, at the
expiration of the six months, the attending physician determines that the employee will
be able to perform the essential functions or duties of the job within a reasonable time
period, the City will continue to work with the lieutenant to provide reasonable

ARTICLE 6: WAGE RATES
Section 1. Wages
The wage adjustments for 2022 are retroactive to January 1, 2022, and apply
to currently employed Lieutenants as of ratification. Wage rate shall be as specified
in Appendix A.
(Historical Commentary: The parties recognize the wage differential is changed to a
market -based wage structure in this Agreement. Historically, the previous agreements
maintained a twenty-two percent (22%) wage differential between the top -step Police
Officer wage and the bottom -step Police Lieutenant wage. The purpose of the historic
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2022-2024 Page 112
wage differential was to provide stability and avoid potential compression.)
Section 2. Supervisory Training Incentive
A lieutenant will receive a one-time payment of $250 upon completion of the
first level supervisory certificate. A lieutenant will be eligible to receive an additional
one-time payment of $250 upon completion of 72 hours of approved elective
supervisory and management classes taken within a three-year period. If a lieutenant
makes a good faith effort to meet the goal during the three-year period, but is unable
to do so as a result of reasonable training requests being denied (funding, for
operational reasons, etc.) the time period for obtaining the additional hours will be
extended one year.
Section 3. Specialty Pay
Effective the first pay period following ratification of the Agreement, lieutenants
assigned to the Criminal Investigations Section, the Traffic/MATT Unit,
SWAT/HNT/CNT and the Bomb Unit shall receive an additional five (5) percent of the
top step wage rate per month as on call pay. The higher percentage rate is due to the
more frequent rotation.
Section 4. Extra -Duty Pay
Field Training Officer Program (FTO) Lieutenant shall receive five (5) percent
pay as the program administrator. When there are two (2) or more student officers in
the FTO program, a second FTO lieutenant is activated and receives 3% extra -duty

FTO lieutenant is activated and receives 3% extra -duty pay.
The lieutenant assigned as the program administrator for the Force Training

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2022-2024 Page 113
be authorized to work a traditional 5/8 schedule upon request. Except
for the rotating on -call detective assignment, if the City determines to

by inverse seniority if there are insufficient volunteers. Lieutenants will
continue to flex their time when reasonably possible so as to minimize
overtime.

of these Lieutenants to minimize overtime expenses to the City. These
Lieutenants will be authorized to work a traditional 5/8 schedule upon
request.
b. Reopener The parties agree that the City may reopen the issue of
shift scheduling with the Union. Any such bargaining will be handled on
an expedited basis. After 60 days, either party may request a mediator
from the PERC. The parties agree to waive the arbitration panel and
agree to select a single arbitrator in accordance with the PERC
procedure, and to cooperate in expediting the arbitration procedure.
C. The normal workday shall be inclusive of the thirty -minute lunch period
for all members of the bargaining unit. Lieutenants in investigations will
flex their schedules so as to minimize the impact on the City.
Section 2. Shift Bidding -
Lieutenants assigned to the patrol function will bid annually for their work shift
and days off based upon'their seniority. The bid will be conducted electronically
through Department email. It will be open for seven days. After all bids are submitted
the Union may waive the 7-day requirement.
The City may move a lieutenant during the year, or after reviewing the bid
results, based upon reasonable necessity. A reasonable necessity would involve a
change made by the City due to legal concerns. In the event the change will be for
more than four (4) months, the Union may request a rebid of positions.
Section 3. Specialty Assignments
The assignment of employees to specialty units shall be made by the City.

With management approval, shift trades may be made, upon request of the
employee. Under no circumstances will a shift trade result in the payment of

$25,000 and the ongoing costs of this program will not exceed $15,000
per year.
b. Staff will monitor the actual impacts to the budget to determine if the take
home car program is sustainable. The determination of whether the
program is sustainable will be based upon program costs remaining
under the financial limits, or a determination that the program has an
adverse impact on the operations of the department and/or City. If the
City determines that it is not sustainable, the first step will be to address
the issues through labor, management meetings. If it can't be resolved
there, it will be addressed through bargaining via a re -opener on take
home cars.
c. Secondary vehicles will be used to increase the number of vehicles
available to Lieutenants who would not normally be assigned a vehicle
based on assignment. No new vehicles will be purchased for the startup
of this program. The number of primary vehicles assigned to
Lieutenants will be made by the City.
d. If a secondary vehicle is lost due to damage or because it is too costly
to maintain (as determined by the City), that vehicle will not be replaced
early. Rather, the car will be unavailable until a new secondary vehicle
becomes available in the regular course of the fleet
maintenance/rotation. Regular maintenance will be continued on
secondary vehicles.
e. All relevant MOS sections apply including 40.1.3.
Mileage limit of a 25-mile radius from City Hall. All 13 current
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)

Lieutenants are eligible for a take home car regardless of assignment.
If a current Lieutenant moves outside of this mileage restriction and they
are not in an on -call assignment, they will be assigned a vehicle to be
parked at an agreed upon secure "location within the established
boundary, i.e. another police/fire station. Any Lieutenants promoted
after the effective date of this contract (01/01/2015) are not
grandfathered in and subject to the mileage restriction. The mileage
radius applies only to cars authorized under this program, not to cars
assigned for other reasons by the department (e.g. on call assignment).
g. The department retains the right to assign particular vehicles to
particular Lieutenants based on the department's operational needs.
h. The parties will work together in Labor Management to resolve issues or

Employees who are requested by the City to attend proceedings before the
Civil Service Commission, PERC, or labor arbitration may attend without loss of pay.

allowed to testify without loss of pay only during the time of their testimony. The
parties will cooperate in scheduling such witnesses so as to minimize any disruption

be allowed time off from duty to attend negotiating meetings with the City.
Section 5. Union Business

employees, provided that the Union Stewards and/or aggrieved employees contact
their immediate supervisors, indicate the general nature of the business to be
conducted, and request the necessary time off. Such time off will not be allowed
whenever the City reasonably determines it will interfere with Department operations
and Union Stewards shall not use excessive time in handling such responsibilities.
The Union shall give the City as much advance notice as reasonably possible of such
time off requests.
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)

Employees shall have access to complete copies of their personnel files at any
reasonable time. The employee may request removal of material that they believe is

that statement will be placed in the file. Employees may request that written reprimands
be expunged from personnel files after a minimum period of three years if there is no
recurrence of similar misconduct for which the employee was disciplined during that
period. Employees may request that records of more serious discipline be expunged
from personnel files after a minimum period of five years if there is no recurrence of
similar misconduct for which the employee was disciplined during that period. Requests
for the expunging of disciplinary references in personnel files, pursuant to this section,
shall not be unreasonably denied. In making this determination a factor the Chief may
consider is that the Lieutenant is in a supervisory position. Nothing in this section shall
be construed as requiring the City to destroy any employment records necessary to the
City's case if it is engaged in litigation in any way related to that employee's employment
at the time those records would otherwise be destroyed.

An employee or a group of employees claiming to have a grievance shall
discuss the complaint with the immediate supervisor within ten (10) calendar
days of the alleged occurrence, or when they reasonably should have known
of the alleged occurrence.
Step 2
The supervisor shall attempt informal resolution of the grievance within
seven (7) calendar days after it is presented.
Step 3
Provided the grievance is not settled satisfactorily at step 2, it may be
presented to the Police Chief (or designee) by the Union within seven (7)
calendar days of the supervisor's response or the expiration of the time limit in
step 2. The submission shall be in writing, setting forth the nature of the
grievance, the articles of this agreement allegedly violated, and the requested
remedy.
Step 4
The Police Chief or designee shall attempt to settle the grievance within
ten (10) calendar days after it has been presented, and shall respond in writing.
Step 5 -
If the grievance is not settled by the Police Chief within the time allowed,
it may be presented in writing to the City Manager, with a copy to the Director
of Human Resources, by the Union within seven (7) calendar days of the Police
Chief's response or the expiration of the time limit in step 4.
Step 6
The Mayor shall have fourteen (14) days to review the grievance. If the
Mayor does not respond or otherwise settle the grievance within the fourteen -
day period, the grievance shall be automatically advanced to Step 7, and shall
not be forfeited by either party.
Step 7
a. If the grievance is not settled at Step 6, and involves a matter
other than discipline, the dispute will be referred to the negotiating
committee of both parties. The two committees shall meet within
ten (10) calendar days to consider the dispute. At that meeting,
all pertinent facts and information will be reviewed in an effort to
resolve the matter through conciliation. If no satisfactory solution
is reached in this step, the matter may be submitted in writing to
arbitration within 30 calendar days of the conciliation meeting.
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2022-2024 Page 126
b. If the grievance is not settled at Step 6 and involves discipline
other than an oral or written warning, the matter may be
submitted, in writing, to arbitration within thirty (30) calendar days
of the date that the City Manager's review is due. Oral and written
warnings may only be grieved through step 6 of this procedure.
However, if the City attempts to introduce prior oral or written
warnings in a subsequent discipline case that is subject to
arbitration, the City shall be required to prove that it had just
cause to issue those prior oral or written warnings as well as the
instant discipline.
Section 2. Arbitration Panel
The City and the Union shall try to agree upon a mutually acceptable arbiter. If
the parties fail to agree, they shall request a list of seven (7) arbiters from the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Service, with all arbiters being members of the National
Academy of Arbitrators. The parties shall alternatively strike from the list until only one
name remains.
For disciplinary grievances, the arbitrator shall be assigned by PERC under the
arbitrator assignment process for law enforcement personnel disciplinary grievances
established by SSB 5055 (2021).
The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties.
a. The Arbitrator shall make their own rules of procedure. The Arbitrator
shall have no authority to amend, alter, or modify this Agreement or its
terms, and shall limit their decision solely to the interpretation and
application of this Agreement.
b. Each grievance or dispute will be submitted separately except when the
City and the Lieutenant Union mutually agree to have more than one
grievance or dispute submitted to the Arbitrator.
C. The losing party shall bear the expense of the Arbitrator. The losing
party shall be denominated in the award. When there is no winning
party, the cost of the Arbiter shall be borne equally by the parties. All
other costs and expenses will be paid by the party incurring them,
including costs of representation.
d. The Arbitrator shall have thirty (30) days from the close of the hearing to
issue an award.
Section 3. Time Limits
Time limits will be strictly adhered to, but may be extended by mutual written
agreement upon reasonable request, except for situations where no timely grievance
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2022-2024 Page 127
is filed. While forfeiture under this clause will finally resolve the matter in dispute, it
will not establish a precedent between the parties on issues of contractual
interpretation.
Section 4. Multiple Procedures
In the case of disciplinary actions, both appealable to the Civil Service
Commission and grievable under the terms of this contract, a written election of
remedies shall be made after receipt of the Step 6 response. An employee may elect
to either pursue an appeal to the Civil Service Commission or continue with the
contractual grievance procedure, but not both. If mutually agreed, time limits will be
extended to complete a reasonable investigation before the selection of remedies is
made. An appeal will be timely under the Civil Service rules if it is filed within ten (10)
days of the completion of step 6 of the grievance procedure.
Section 5: Step 3 Submission
In those instances where disciplinary action is based on reasonable evidence
of the commission of a crime, or the proposed discipline involves suspension or
termination of the employee, Step 3 of the Grievance Procedure will be initiated
immediately.
Section 6. Just Cause Standard
No employee may be discharged, suspended without pay, demoted (except as
provided below) or disciplined in any way except for just cause. The City may withhold
a step increase, for a specified period of time, if it has just cause.
Section 7. Probationary Period
All newly promoted employees must serve a probationary period. The
probationary period upon promotion shall be one year from the date of appointment.
The probationary period shall be extended for the number of work days equal to the
number of work days an employee was absent in excess of ten (10) work days during
the probationary period; provided that the taking of scheduled and approved vacation
shall not be counted toward the ten (10) day period for promotional probationers. The
probationary period is an extension of the promotional process; therefore, the
provisions of this Article will not apply to employees if they are demoted during the
promotional probationary period for not meeting the requirements of the classification.
Grievances brought by probationary employees involving issues other than demotion
may be processed in accordance with this Article.
Section 8. Parties to the Agreement
In as much as this is an agreement between the City and the Union, no
individual employee may make use of the provisions of this Article, except as
expressly provided above.
ARTICLE 15: NONDISCRIMINATION
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2022-2024 Page 128
The Employer and the Union shall not unlawfully discriminate against any
individual with respect to compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of
employment because of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, disability, or
any other protected class. Claims of unlawful discrimination shall not be processed in
accordance with the grievance procedure denominated herein.
The Employer and the Union agree that they will cooperate in complying with
the Americans with Disabilities Act.
ARTICLE 16: DRUG TESTING
Section 1. Reporting to work under the influence of alcohol and/or illegal
drugs, or the use, sale, or possession by an employee of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited
and will result in disciplinary action, including immediate termination. For the purpose of
this policy, substances that require a prescription or other written approval from a licensed
physician or dentist for their use shall also be included when used other than as
prescribed. Each employee must advise the Employer if they are using prescription or
other over-the-counter drugs they know or reasonably should know may impair their
ability to perform job functions and/or operate machinery such as automobiles. Under
appropriate circumstances the Employer may request the employee to provide written
medical authorization from a physician to perform various essential job functions while
using such drugs.
Any voluntary request by an employee for assistance with their own alcohol
abuse problem will remain confidential and shall not be used as the basis for any
disciplinary action provided that the request for assistance is initiated prior to being
identified as impaired through the procedures herein.
The parties recognize the essential purpose of any law enforcement agency is to
enforce the criminal laws. Moreover, the parties recognize the courts have held it would
substantially impair law enforcement agencies if they were required to employ individuals
within their ranks who have violated the very laws said agencies are charged with
enforcing. Therefore, the Employer reserves the right to refuse to employ or continue the
employment of individuals who are or have been engaged in serious criminal conduct,
whether drug related or not.
Section 2. Where a supervisory employee of the City has a reasonable
suspicion to believe an employee is under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, or is
abusing the use of prescription or over-the-counter drugs, or is using illegal drugs, the
employee in question will be asked to submit to discovery testing. Such tests include
breath tests, urinalysis and/or blood screens to identify any involvement with alcohol or
such drugs.
An employee who refuses to submit to discovery testing for alcohol and/or illegal
drugs shall be conclusively presumed to be under the influence of alcohol or an illegal

discipline, including immediate discharge.

of terms is provided:

inferences from those facts, that discovery testing will produce evidence

test or its consequences. The results of this second test shall be provided to the City.
Section 7. The employee and the Union (upon consent of the employee) shall
be informed of the results of all tests, and provided with all documentation regarding the

SUBJECT: Recreational Vehicle Code Amendment
Financial Impacts:
There are no financial impacts to the City for considering this code amendment.
Background Information:
In March, the Council adopted an ordinace prohibiting parking of recreational vehicles on all
city streets in non-residential zones.
As this proposed ordinance moved through the Land Use & Transportation Committee, there
was a request from the City Council that staff consider further changes to City code that
might improve the allowance for RVs to be parked on residential properties.
The attached proposed code amendment considered codes from the cities of Bellevue,
Issaquah, Everett, Renton, and Des Moines. In addition, staff provided an informational
briefing to the Land Use & Transportation Committee on April 1, 2024. The purpose for this
presentation was to solicit input from the Committee prior to drafting the code amendment.
The Planning Commission received a briefing on this proposed code amendment on May 15,
2024.
Procedural Summary:
5/17/24: Issuance of Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) pursuant to the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) (24-101546-SE)
5/17/24: Public Notice of SEPA Decision published in Federal Way Mirror and posted
(website)
5/31/24: End of SEPA Comment Period
6/21/24: End of SEPA Appeal Period
7/10/24: Planning Commission
8/5/24: LUTC Council Committee (anticipated date)
9/3/24: City Council Public Hearing and 1 st Reading (anticipated date)
Public Comment
Rev. 7/18
The City received verbal comments from a resident at the LUTC briefing held on April 1,
2024 and at the Planning Commission briefing held on May 15, 20204. These comments
were considered as part of developing the proposed code amendments.
Decision Criteria:
FWRC 19.80.130 provides criteria for zoning text amendments. The following section
analyzes compliance of the proposed zoning text amendments with the criteria provided by
this chapter. The City may amend the text of the FWRC only if it finds that:
1. The proposed amendments are consistent with the applicable provisions of the
comprehensive plan.
Staff Response: The proposed FWRC text amendments support the following
Comprehensive Plan Goal and Policies:
LUP 1 Use development standards and design guidelines to maintain neighborhood
character and ensure compatibility with surrounding uses.
LUP 10 Support the continuation of a strong residential community.
LUG3 Preserve and protect Federal Way's single-family neighborhoods.
LUP 13 Maintain and protect the character of existing single-family neighborhoods
through strict enforcement of the City's land use regulations.
2. The proposed amendments bear a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare.
Staff Response: The current code provides a size limitation to recreational vehicles and
boats. The proposed FWRC text amendments bear a substantial relationship to the public
health, safety, and welfare because the amendments 1) remove the somewhat arbitrary size
limitations allowing for these vehicles and trailers to be legally parked and stored on
residential property; and 2) include more detailed siting criteria that must be met:
a. including utility trailers to the regulations and provisions;
b. ensuring the rv, boat, or utility trailer does not create a sight visibility hazard;
c. requiring the rv, trailer, or boat belong to the resident of the property;
d. requiring the rv, trailer, or boat to be licensed and operable; and,
e. limiting the number of these items stored outdoors on each property to 1 of each.
3. The proposed amendments are in the best interest of the residents of the City.
Staff Response: The proposed amendments include an evaluation of regulations imposed by
nearby cities and incorporates those relevant to Federal Way. Although the proposed
amendments remove the somewhat arbitrary size limitations, the incorporation of additional
limitations will minimize the occurrence of RVs, utility trailers and boats become a
neighborhood nuisance.
Amendments from Committee:
On August 5, 2024, the Land Use & Transportation Committee discussed the proposed code
amendments relating to recreational vehicles, utility trailers, and boats. Pursuant to that
Rev. 7/18
conversation, the proposed Ordinance was updated as follows:
(6) The utility trailer or boat shall be owned by a resident or the property owner. The
recreational vehicle shall be owned or occupied by the property resident or the property
owner.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, recreational vehicles, utility trailers, or boats may be parked
temporarily for loading and unloading activities regardless of whether such parking is
consistent with the requirements of this section.
Mayor's Recommendation:
The Mayor recommends approving the proposed code amendments.

the following Federal Way Comprehensive Plan goals and policies:
LUP1 Use development standards and design guidelines to maintain
neighborhood character and ensure compatibility with surrounding
uses.

LUG3 Preserve and protect Federal Way's single-family neighborhoods.
LUP 13 Maintain and protect the character of existing single-family
neighborhoods through strict enforcement of the City's land use

vehicles are parked consistently with common sense regulations. By allowing greater
opportunity for the vehicles to be parked on residential properties, owners will be less likely
to be forced to pay for costly off -property storage. For these reasons, the proposed
amendment will be in the best interest of the residents of the City.

DATE: July 23, 2024
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Steve Groom, Finance Director
Chase Donnelly, Deputy Finance Director
SUBJECT: 2023-2024 Biennial Budget Amendment
Background Information:
The 2023/2024 Budget was approved and adopted November 15, 2022 and amended June 6, 2023
September 5, 2023, November 21, 2023, and May 21, 2024. This is the second quarterly amendment
of the year, and is done to capture items council has approved during the year, or any contract
increases. All departments submit unfunded budget needs through a waiting list review process
with the Mayor, City Administrator and Finance Department staff to assure that the needs are
prioritized on a citywide basis. Finance has reviewed and updated the biennial budget for all funds
to confirm that required ending fund balances will be met and recommends approval. All changes
are reflected in Exhibit F.
Financial Impacts:
General Fund 2024 expenditures previously authorized by council adoption and/or amendment was
$75,187,438; the new revised General Fund expenditures that will now be authorized in 2024 will
be $76,522,438, largely from transfer out to Jail fund for increased jail costs.
The better -than -budgeted actual revenue received in the first six months does allow us to fund
$1,035,000 in higher -than -budgeted jail costs. While year-end forecasted revenues will be updated
in subsequent quarters, the City has realized better -than -budgeted actual revenues in investment
income ($455,000), unrestricted utility tax ($500,000), and permits & fees ($343,000) while Sales
Tax is currently under budget ($263,000). Jail cost is estimated to exceed budget by $1.8 million,
so Q2 adjustment from increased investment revenue, utility tax, and permits fees provides
significant partial funding until further revenue in later quarters are recognized.
All other material changes to the proposed budget amendment are increases to grant revenue with
the increases to expenses they fund, items previously approved by council or increased non -
discretionary obligations and include:

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 8, 2024
TO: City Council
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Brian Davis, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Municipal County Judge Salary Increase
Financial Impacts:
Impact to the General Fund will be an increase of $24,210 toward employee salary and
benefits. Cost of living increases will be incorporated annually as with all other employee
salaries.
Background Information:
After carefully taking a look at the workload and complexity of the Federal Way
municipal court judges' duties, the mayor has determined that the nature of their work is
substantially similar to that of a district court judge. Therefore, Mayor Ferrell is
recommending that our municipal court judges be compensated the same as, district court
judges.
Because Federal Way Municipal Code 2.29.050 states that "the annual salary [of
municipal court judges] shall be... 95 percent of district court judges' salary... as set by
the State Salary Commission," the code must be changed in order to increase the judges'
compensation.
The Mayor recommends amending the code so that our municipal court judges are
compensated at 100 percent of district court judges' salary.

TO: City Council Members

SUBJECT: Amendments to FWRC 8.50.010
Financial Inipacts:
There are no anticipated financial impacts associated with the proposed code changes.
Background Information:
On March 5, 2024, the City Council passed Ordinance No. 24-983 — Relating to Parking of
Recreational Vehicles on City Streets. That ordinance amended Chapter 8.50 FWRC to
prohibit parking of recreational vehicles on City streets unless the recreational vehicle was
parked adjacent to residentially zoned property.
At the time of passage, several councilmembers expressed a desire to also prohibit parking of
recreational vehicles on City streets in residentially zoned areas, in conjunction with
additional amendments to the City's development code that would make regulation of
parking recreational vehicles on private property in the City more permissive.
This proposed ordinance would prohibit parking of recreational vehicles on City streets
regardless of zone; it is a companion to another ordinance that amends regulations regarding
parking of recreational vehicles on private property.
