AUBURN, WASHINGTON TUESDAY DECEMBER 8, 1959
Special meeting of the City Council of the City of Auburn was
held at 8:90 P.M. in the Council Chambers at the City Hall.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Denise. il
Councilmen Present: Aaby, Petersen, Kammeyer, Stalder,
Fitzsimmons, Tawner, Prescott.
Councilmen Absent: None
The Mayor explained that the meeting was called to discuss
some financial problems and also the garbage problem. The Mayor
then turned the meeting over to the City Attorney.
The City Attorney explained that last March when the water
dispute had caused the City Council to revoke the water ordinance,
they failed to revoke the sewer ordinance at the same time.
This means that the City hasn't been charging sewer at the rate
of $2.00 as Ordinance #1286 states. There is an estimated loss
of $101000.00 resulting from this misunderstanding.
It was moved by Kammeyer and 2nd by Petersen that the Mayor
instr+act the City Attorney to look into the legality for a retro-
active ordinance, with a repott to be given at the next regular
council meeting; also, if it is legal, to have an ordinance ready
for introduction.
MOTION CARRIED
The City Attorney explained that upon investigating the
complaint of Mrs. Bothell, he found that no charge was being made
to the North Auburn Area, which was in violation of City ordinance
The City Council instructed the City Attorney to write the City
Treasurer instructing him to start billing the residences in
North Auburn. '
The City Attorney wxplained that an opinion from the Attorney
General states that a City of third class mLs t have annual bids
for garbage service. This being the case, Auburn will have to
call for bids on an annual basis or go into the garbage business '
for itself. The City Attorney stated that he was going to appear
in court Wednesday regarding the show-cause order.
There being no further business to come before the City
Council, the meeting was adjourned at 9:40 P.M., subject to the
call of the Mayor.
