INFORMATION/DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Ordinance No. 5968 This ordinance is an agreement to allow Rabanco to collect and dispose of solid waste in the annexed Lea Hill area. It now needs to be amended as the rates are increasing. State law dictates that rates must be levied by ordinance. Member Wagner asked for clarification of the rate schedule. Vice Chair Peloza asked that some terminology be clarified. The Special Collections District will be defined by their title name in the annexation ordinance. When the new rates are in place Director Coleman will bring the ordinance back to the Committee for a vote within the next few months. B Solid Waste Rate Analysis Finance Director Coleman presented the solid waste rate analysis. She noted that the Committee's requested changes were made such as having the City Administration fees equally distributed. Single family rates are still subsidized but commercial and roll off fees will allow the rates to remain unchanged. C. Ordinance 5965 Some areas that prohibit parking are not signed. This ordinance would ensure signing was in place. Mayor Lewis asked for a review of all prohibited parking spaces and if signage was in place. He asked that the Ordinance be revised and brought back to the Committee at a later date. D. Implementing policy/procedures regarding street naming and addressing Development Services Coordinator Steve Pilcher discussed the need to establish a process to amend and correct and clean up addresses Page 2 Municipal Services Minutes November 21, 2005 within the City. There also needs to be a policy and code amendments on how addresses are established, plus providing an efficient way to notify Valley Corn (911) of the changes. The present code was passed in 1957 and does not address the annexation area of Lea Hill which has the King County Grid System. Vice Chair Peloza asked that in paragraph C under Section 15.52.055 the 10 days be changed to 10 business days. Member Wagner objected to the phrase "area south of the Stuck River". He wanted to clarify that long established street names would not be changed unless it was deemed absolutely necessary. He asked that the wording in Section 12.52.075 be revised to "all new streets". He questioned the City's liability if important mail was not received or emergency services were delayed because of street name and/or number changes. Deputy Fire Chief Mike Gerber assured the Committee that the Fire Department receives updated maps by GIS before changes are made public. City Attorney Heid will assess the City's liability. The list of approved road names in Appendix B was reviewed. The policy and procedure for approving names was brought up for discussion. One determination was that the names not sound like another approved name. Member Wagner asked that the rest of the approved names be added to the list. It was noted that Appendix C needed to be amended to include the call for a Public Hearing. E. Auburn Firefighters Local 1352 Pete Connell and Gary Barker spoke to the issue of the new ambulance service contract that has been proposed. They are committed to providing the best customer service possible and feel that continuing to transport patients is part of that service. Since this issue is currently in negotiation with the City, Public Safety Chief Kelly could not comment. The Committee also declined to discuss the issue since the Union and City were in labor negotiations with this issue. VI.
