MUNICIPAL COURT
Primary Alignment with City Council Goals / Strategic Plan Objectives and Strategies
Goal 2: Public Safety

Focus on Community Engagement to increase Community Based Policing
o

The Court promotes open communication with community groups to encourage partnerships. We have
made presentations to groups such as Rotary Club and the Kiwanis Club to foster community awareness
of public safety and community justice issues.

o

The Court regularly participates in the Citizen’s Police Academy in an effort to educate Lakewood citizens
about Court functions and justice issues in the community.

Reduce Crime and Fear of Victimization/Other Public Safety Goals
o

In addition to traditional court functions, Lakewood Municipal Court offers 2 grant funded Therapeutic
Court models: Veterans Treatment Court and Community Court. These courts offer an alternative to
traditional court with a focus on underlying treatment needs of court participants. Lakewood Municipal
Court Probation is instrumental in the implementation of our court compliance efforts in both our
traditional and Therapeutic Court models.

o

By linking defendants with the services, they need, both Veterans Treatment Court and Community Court
break the cycle of “revolving door” crime (individuals who cycle in and out of the justice system).
Lakewood Municipal Court works in partnership with local housing resources such as Housing Justice
Project, Tacoma Housing Authority, Transitional Housing, Coordinated Entry and 211. This partnership
helps to alleviate the immediate need for housing that many court participant’s experience.
Lakewood Municipal Court addresses the growing community need for Domestic Violence education
by offering a lower cost yet highly effective program called Domestic Violence Moral Recantation
(DVMRT) led by Officer Lomeli and Darrell Knoedler. This is a peer group led by Lakewood Municipal
Court Probation, and it has proven highly effective in reducing domestic violence recidivism.
Community Court’s Case Manager gives one on one attention to Community Court Participants and
helps them directly or links them to services such as parenting classes, resume assistance, TANF/food
stamps, transportation and tutoring assistance. Alcohol and Drug abuse treatment as well as Anger
Management are addressed.

Reduce Traffic Collisions to Create Safer Communities
o Lakewood Municipal Court offers multiple traffic calendars monthly to include contested and mitigation
hearings. Photo violations are also addressed in Lakewood Municipal Court.

AWC serves as the City's third-party administrator for
workers' compensation claims. While the City is
legally responsible for administering its workers'
compensation program, the complexity of the program
and frequent legislative changes require specialized
expertise. AWC provides claims administration, case
management, and regulatory guidance to help ensure
claims are managed efficiently, compliantly, and in a
timely manner. Additionally, proactive and strategic
case management results in lower experience ratings
with Department of Labor and Industries and reduces
the premium to the City.

If the contract with AWC were terminated, the City
would need to add personnel with specialized workers'
compensation expertise to assume responsibility for
claims administration, case management, and
regulatory compliance. This would require additional
staffing and resources to ensure the program
continues to be administered effectively and in
accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Professional
Services

Add Professional Services for Diversity, Equity &
Inclusion Training and other city-wide training
programs. This addition is offset by elimination of
Learn Training Software in information technology
budget.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Purpose/Description
The City of Lakewood is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA). WCIA was created for
the purpose of providing a pooling mechanism for jointly purchasing insurance, jointly self-insuring and/or jointly
contracting for risk management services.
Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis, without deductibles. Coverage includes general, automobile,
police, public officials’ errors or omissions, stop gap, and employee benefits liability. Limits are $5 million per
occurrence self-insured layer, and $15 million per occurrence in the re-insured excess layer. The excess layer is
insured by the purchase of reinsurance and insurance and is subject to aggregate limits. Total limits are $20 million
per occurrence subject to aggregate sub-limits in the excess layers. The Board of Directors determines the limits
and terms of coverage annually.
Insurance coverage for property, automobile physical damage, fidelity, inland marine, and boiler and machinery
are purchased on a group basis. Various deductibles apply by type of coverage. Property insurance and auto
physical damage are self-funded from the members’ deductible to $1,000,000, for all perils other than flood and
earthquake, and insured above that amount by the purchase of insurance. The City also maintains the
recommended coverage for pollution liability, crime/fidelity, and information security.
In-house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services, claims, pre-defense and
litigation administration, and loss analyses. WCIA contracts for the claim’s investigation consultants for personnel
issues and land use problems, insurance brokerage, and lobbyist services.
WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated basis, as determined
by an outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss adjustment, and administrative expenses.
As outlined in the inter-local agreement, WCIA retains the right to additionally assess the membership for any
funding shortfall.
WCIA extends generous services to its members such as risk management education and comprehensive risk field
services. These services combined with aggressive claims and litigation, allows the WCIA team to respond
effectively to member needs. WCIA intentionally assumes the “working layer of losses: with limited reliance upon
reinsurance for catastrophic loses. All of this makes for a complete pre- and post-loss management program.
Goals/Objectives


Provide risk management coordination support to timely identify and address risks through WCIA services.
Maintain accurate inventory of City property and assets for insurance coverage.
Complete all annual membership requirements and audits for WCIA.
Increase employee awareness of risk management best practices, policies, procedures through training and
utilization of resources.

from concept to construction. The sections within the department include long range planning, economic development,
current planning, business licensing, building and safety, rental housing safety program, dangerous building abatement,
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)/HOME, and the South Sound Military & Communities Partnership

Deliver high-level customer service across all department divisions.

Maintain efficient and effective administrative policies and procedures.

Proactively engage with customers, contractors, developers, the local MBA, architects, and engineers to educate

Annual Program - Safety: Neighborhood Traffic Safety/Traffic Calming

Project Description & Justification:
Annual program that provides traffic calming to local access roadways. Typical treatments are radar feedback signs, led signs, traffic circles, raised crosswalks, and other
traffic calming devices.

Operational Impact:
Addition of capital infrastructure will require additional on-going maintenance that is consistent with other work performed in the city. For example: Radar feedback sign will
cost approximately $120 / year to provide power and approximately $300 every 3 years to replace burned out bulbs.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW
Primary Alignment with City Council Goals / Strategic Plan Objectives and strategies
The Administrative Services Department does not have a primary alignment with a specific City Council goal, rather
it provides the financial and technology/infrastructure support to departments in achieving the City’s goals and
objectives.
Finance supports the City Council’s goals and strategic priorities by providing the financial planning, information,
and oversight needed to help the City achieve them. Finance works across the organization to prepare and monitor
the City’s budget, support capital planning, coordinate grants, evaluate funding options, and provide information
on the City’s overall financial position.
Information Technology supports the City Council’s goals and strategic priorities by providing the technology,
systems, and resources needed for City departments to deliver services and carry out their work. IT works with
departments to maintain existing technology, plan for future needs, manage replacements and ongoing
technology expenses, and monitor technology spending to ensure it remains within approved budgets.

Replace Computers & Laptops

Project Description & Justification:
The City will replace laptops, desktop computers, and Police rugged tablets that have reached the end of their five-year service life. Replacing aging
equipment helps ensure employees have reliable, secure devices and supports the technology used by Police officers in the field.

As devices age beyond their expected service life, they may become more difficult to support, receive security updates, and maintain reliably.
Funding for these equipment needs will help the City maintain secure and dependable technology, improve operational reliability, and support
compliance with CJIS security requirements.
2027: 29 rugged tablets ($145,000)+ 21 laptops ($42,000)
2028: 10 rugged tablets ($50,000) + 50 laptops ($102,000)
2029+: Average of 2027 and 2028 (projected)

Project Cost / Operational Impact:
No operational impact as ongoing m&o is already included in the operating budget.

Update 2-Factor Authentication

Project Description & Justification:
The City will modernize its identity and access security by replacing two-factor authentication (2FA) tokens with phishing-resistant FIDO2 hardware
security keys for City and Police staff. This upgrade will strengthen account security and support applicable CJIS multi-factor authentication (MFA)
requirements.

FIDO2 security keys provide each authorized employee with a unique hardware-based credential, reducing reliance on code-based authentication methods
that are more susceptible to phishing and credential theft. The new solution will strengthen access controls, simplify identity management, and improve
security for City and Police systems.
FIDO2 Hardware Security Keys
2028: Initial purchase of 100 security keys at $70 per key — $7,000 one-time cost
Annual savings: Approximately $15,200 per year by retiring legacy vendor token subscriptions and licensing.

Project Cost / Operational Impact:
Elimates $15,200 subscription and licensing costs.

Replace Network Switches

Project Description & Justification:
The City will replace older network switches as they reach End of Support Life, meaning the manufacturer will no longer provide technical support,
security updates, or replacement parts. Replacing equipment helps prevent outages, keeps the network reliable, and ensures all systems stay under
active vendor support.

Access Switch Replacements:
2027: Replace 16 Access Switches Across City Facilities - $96,000 ($6,000 per switch)
These switches provide basic network connectivity for staff, building systems, and video surveillance at below locations:
City Hall Access Switches — 10 units
Police Station Access Switches — 5 units
Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Access Switch — 1 unit
2029: Replace 2 Access Switches at Remote Sites - $12,000 ($6,000 per switch)
These switches support user access and video surveillance systems at remote locations:
Fort Steilacoom Park Access Switch — 1 unit
Signal Building Access Switch — 1 unit
Core Network Switch Replacements
2028: Replace 4 Core Switches at City Hall and Police Station - $120,000 ($30,000 per switch)
These core switches are the central devices that move all network traffic within each building. They are essential for daily operations, and if one fails,
the entire site would lose network connectivity.
City Hall Core Switches — 2 units
Police Station Core Switches — 2 units
Project Cost / Operational Impact:
No operational impact as ongoing m&o is already included in the operating budget.

Project Name: Replace PBX Phone System with Cloud Voice
Project Description & Justification:
The City currently utilizes a ShoreTel phone system that has reached its End of Support Life (EOSL) and is no longer supported by the manufacturer.
To eliminate the risk of hardware failure and unpatched security vulnerabilities, the City is transitioning to a modern, cloud-based phone solution
integrated with Microsoft Teams. This platform enables staff to place voice calls, join video meetings, and message directly from their computers
using softphones, while continuing to provide physical desk phones where operationally required.

Hardware Replacement
2027: Desk Phone Replacement: 100 units at $450 per phone — $45,000

Project Cost / Operational Impact:
No operational impact as ongoing m&o is already included in the operating budget.

Replace System Storage & Servers

Project Description & Justification:
The City’s core information technology environment currently operates on six physical virtualization hosts and six Storage Area Network (SAN) arrays.
Several of these systems are approaching or have reached the end of their expected service life and manufacturer support. Funding is needed to address
these aging systems and maintain reliabile, secure, and supportable technology infrastructure.

Storage System Replacements (SAN Arrays) - $100,000
2029: Replace Dell Storage Array at City Hall
This array is reaching end‑of‑support life. It provides storage for citywide application data, digital records, retention archives, and long‑term storage
required for operational continuity and CJIS compliance.Server Replacements
2030: Replace 2 Dell Servers at City Hall - $80,000
These hosts are reaching end‑of‑manufacture support and must be refreshed to maintain supportability and security compliance. They provide the
compute and storage infrastructure required to operate citywide applications, databases, backup repositories, digital records, and essential public services
on a 24/7 basis.
2031: Replace Dell Storage Array at Police Station - $100,000
This array supports police systems, application data, digital records, video evidence retention, and long ‑term archival storage. End ‑of‑support status
prevents the system from receiving security patches and firmware updates, creating compliance and operational risks.
Project Cost / Operational Impact:
No operational impact as ongoing m&o is already included in the operating budget.
