The business has grown to the point where it has begun selling heavier turbine aircraft and jets, many of which cannot be accommodated at the Auburn Airport. They need the runway and facilities of the Boeing Field to accommodate the business and are therefore relocating the business to Boeing Field. In the process, however, Auburn Flight Service which operates a flight school, aviation college and maintenance facility has been in an expansion mode and has pressing needs for additional space. They are willing to lake over thc TAS Enterprises' lease for the three hangar area, the office space, and want to expand into thc maintenance operation and bring in an avionics sale and installation facility onto the field.

Mr. Turuldge explained that in 1996 when they entered into the lease agreement with the City, the original period on it was a 2-½ year term starting in June of 1996 and ending 2- ~ years later. Followed by 10, one-year renewals and TAS Enterprises has exercised two of those renewals and are now into the third renewal and each one of those has a x~nt adjustment associated with it. Chair Singer pointed out that on Page 2 of Resolution No. 3245, first paragraph also states "remainder of the calendar year 2000 through December 31. 2000Y ~ "remainder o£the term of the lease," Vice Chair Wagner made a motion for approval of Resolution No. 3245 pending changes noted.

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Aubum, Washington, authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk of the City of Auburn, to execute an agreement between the City of Auburn and W&H Pacific, Inc. to update the Airport Master Plan at the Auburn Municipal Airport and to install a fence at the west boundary of the airport. Municipal Services Committee Meeting 2 August 7, 2000 Paul Krauss explained that this is the contract to undertake the master plan update for the Airport Master Plan which is going to focus on a number of things, one of which is the development of the west side of the airport to 23 acres. Another is the potential increase in defective runway length and other safety related improvements. This is being 90% funded by the FAA. Having the improvements doeumeuted in the current plan is essential if the Airport is going to get additional FAA funding. , Discussion ensued regarding the issue of noise. Vice Chair Wagner stall that he would like to see some way for the Auburn Airport to enforce control of noise, because noise comr, laints are received all the time. Mr. Wagner asked if there was a way for the Airport to have an on-going city funded evidence collection system on which to be able to identify the offenders. Mr. Krauss explained that evidence can be collected but 100% of enforcement by Federal Law rests with the FAA. City staff cooperated with a citizen complaint, the offender's numbers were obtained and they were reported to the FAA. Also, the owners of the Helicopter Services wac called and there is un occasional issue but basically thc issue has been resolved. In order to iden~fy violators, it was suggested that perhaps a TV monitor could be installed. Discussion ensued. Chair Singer asked for clarification on the following items: 1)Regarding the second paraeraph of Resolution No. 3246 which reads '~£or the pu~.ase u_ndating the ~4i_rport Master Plan at the Auburn Municipal .4i~. ort and to install a new fence. etc." In the Agreement it calls for obtaining a contractor to do the design work and then a recommendation for someone to install the fence. Paul Krauss explained that it was included with the comract for the master plan with W & H Pacific for them to do the bid documents instead of doing two contracts. W & H Pacific will not be ilX~taIling the fence? They will only b~ doing the bid. Consequently verbiage needs to be changed. 2)On Page 2 of 8. Exba'bit "1". No. 6. para?aph 6 resd~ ".,Ill reports, plans. ~.ec. fieM data etc shah remain theproper? o_f FYlff'. Chair Singer was questioning if that was thc usual language for this type of contract but suspected that the City would want to have the ownership of the repons. Paul Krauss explained that, that was fairly common language for most consultant conlracts that he's seen. 3)Paee 1. Exhibit "A" Scope of Work Rates and Charges reads: ".4ll rates and efface'es _for activi_tv at the ai~_ ort need to be reviewed, including land lease rates, fuel flowage fees. etc." Chair Singer asked for clarification on that. Mr. Krauss explained that the City is attempting to get the FAA to let the City consider the economic aspects of development of thc 23 acres. Consequently, it involves some forecasting and planning that the City should be doing. 4)Paee 2. Exhibit "A" - Environment Mitigatiori which refers to investigqtion of wetlands: Chair Singer asked for clarification. It was her understanding this had already been done. Paul Krauss explained that this had not been done yet. Discussion ensued regarding the County Executive's Transportation Plan and more taxation for a Park & Ride. Paul Krauss explained that Auburn is still trying to get the County to invest in the parking garage. 5)Page 14. Task 10.2-Refine Process-Objective: refers to Task IL1. may be aDvrovriate [o refine thepublic involvement a_~vrooeb Task 11.1 should read 10.1. 6)Chair Singer asked Mr. Krauss how he expected the Indian Tribes to be affected. His reply was "not at all". 7)Lustly, Chair Singer discussed the charge of $1.50 per copy of the Master Plan Update and wondered if Auburn wouldn't want to make their own' copies.

Vice Chair Wagner made a motion to recommend adoption of Resolution No. 3246 with wording to clarify that the contract is for planning, of the fence and not installation. Councilmember Borden seconded the motion. Chair Singer concurred. 11I.
