INFORMATION/DISCUSSION ITEMS
Reynolds Property Easement
Finance Director Shelley Coleman reported on the Reynolds property
easement in response to Vice Chair Wagner's questions at a previous
meeting. The easement for utilities and public access in question is
located along the southern edge of the property known as 2306 B Street.
A brief summary indicated that in 1997 the former owner granted the City
the easement. In June 1999, as Reynolds was completing the
development it was discovered by the City that the development was
encroaching on the easement. At this time, the City and Reynolds entered
into an agreement with two options: Option II called for Reynolds to reach
agreement with the neighboring party, Fisher ITC within 2 years to
reconfigure the site to accommodate the City's access drive. This option
failed to materialize. Option I requires the relocation of facilities to permit
the construction of the access road with Reynolds with each party paying
50%. Both options were to be completed within two years but Reynolds
sold the property to Integris Metals. Integris has been waiting for the City
and states they fully expect to participate in the project and would like

three to four month's notice once the City has approved and budgeted for
the road. The project is with the Engineering department now to
determine costs and time frames involved. Once that has been
accomplished and met with Council approval, the City will meet with
Integris.
Vice Chair Wagner commented on the fact the City still has to pay 50% of
the costs through no fault.
Planning and Community Development Director Paul Kruass pointed out
that the 50% is of mutual benefit. The easement provides both accesses
to Reynolds property and beyond that full access to the airport.
Finance Director Coleman will continue to keep the Committee informed
and updated on the project.
Ordinance No. 5841
Police Chief Jim Kelly stated that this Ordinance provides clarification to
Auburn City Code Sections 10.36.205 in regards to unlicensed vehicles on
the right-of-way; switched license plates or plate TABS; proper display of
license TABS on license plates. Section 10.36.255 clarifies parking of
large trucks and obstructing post office boxes. Chief Kelly would like to
have the Ordinance on the next Municipal Services Agenda and City
Council for approval. The Committee concurred.
City Hall Plaza
Property & Facilities Administrator Lynn Rued updated the Committee on
the status of the City Hall Plaza. He stated that we have been working on
this project for a few years and that funding was set aside for
improvements to the plaza area. They worked with a consultant to have
an idea of the scope issues and costs associated to retrofit the plaza. The
study on the landscape came up with three different concepts, all there of
which, will be discussed in depth at the Council Retreat on April 30, 2004.
The project will be going out to bid and he will bring the results back to the
Committee. Mr. Rued invited the committee members on a visual tour to
discuss the three Plaza renovation concepts.
