# 11/10/2026 Parks/Recreation/Human Services & Public Safety Committee

The City of Federal Way Parks, Recreation, Human Services & Public Safety Committee met November 10, 2026. The committee voted to forward several spending and procurement items for council consideration: a proposed $111,500 contract with MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions for Clean Buildings Performance Standards compliance reporting; authorization to solicit bids for City Hall roof recovery, estimated to be funded with $500,000 in previously earmarked ARPA funds and an interfund loan of up to $1.8 million from the Downtown Redevelopment Fund; and acceptance of the completed Government Access Channel room HVAC project, including release of $4,533.91 in retainage to MacDonald-Miller (the original contract was $33,339.29). The roof item was authorization to bid, not contract award; staff said the full financing plan would return after bids are received. The committee also voted to forward a Skyhawks Sports Academy recreation agreement for 2027–2030, under which the city would receive 20% of registration fees—estimated at $5,000–$10,000 annually—and Arts Commission grant recommendations for council review.

The committee approved acceptance of a $22,500 King County veterans grant and directed staff to renegotiate a proposed Department of Corrections parking agreement after members raised concerns about using Steel Lake Park space; no parking agreement was approved. Human Services General Fund recommendations totaling $1.258 million for 2027–2028, plus $218,400 in CDBG recommendations, were forwarded to the November 17 business agenda for approval and contract authorization. Public comment focused heavily on human-services funding requests and service needs; members discussed possibly revisiting funding priorities and application processes in the future. No final council awards were made at this committee meeting.
