07/14/2026 Parks/Recreation/Human Services & Public Safety Committee

The City of Federal Way Parks/Recreation/Human Services & Public Safety Committee met on July 14, 2026, to discuss several agenda items including the approval of the 2026-27 School Resource Officer (SRO) interlocal agreement with the Federal Way School District. The contract, which has been in place since 1997, was updated to reflect a reduction from five to four SROs at local high schools due to the school district's budgetary request. The committee discussed the benefits of the SRO program, including safety and relationship-building with students, and addressed questions about contract terms and coverage. The committee unanimously moved to forward the interlocal agreement to the City Council consent agenda for approval. Additionally, the committee considered a proposed authorization to bid HVAC maintenance services, including for a new operations and maintenance facility, with plans to address any budget adjustments in a future amendment. This authorization was also moved forward to the consent agenda for approval. No other procurement-related actions were taken during the meeting.
