Schuler said the only recommendation they would have would be retaining and easement for utilities. aC 201 AUBURN WASHINGTON MONDAY NOVEMBER 3 1980 Larson noted Puget Power also was requesting an easement for utilities. Schuler said the easements could be worded so retention of easements for utilities plus the recommendations of the Utility Committee could be incorporated with it. Craig noted,as he remembered,the Utility Committee had discussed if there was a building put up that the hospital would also assume responsibility for maintaining the line. ,He asked Nevins if it would be desirable if they did build a building for them to maintain it. Nevins replied as long as the line was sleeved and the pity would be able to gain access to it, we would probably want to maintain it ourselves. He thought the discussion centered more around if the line had to be replaced then it would be the responsibility of the hospital. Hitchcock asked about the dedication of the alley. Schneider responded rather than dedicating the property it had been agreed to provide easements. Hitchcock questioned if "act of God" should be put into contract in case the line was damaged by an earthquake or something. Craig asked for clarification of Hitchcock's statement. Hitchcock said that any maintenance or repair to be borne by the hospital. 00 It was moved by Hitchcock, seconded by Lea, to approve the vacation of alley right-of-way, situated on that portion of land designated as a public alley running between 1st and 2nd St. N.E., west of Auburn Avenue, Application V-9-80, and the City Attorney be instructed to draw up the necessary ordinance to include easements for Puget Power and 'Washington Natural Gas for utility purposes and, Q further, Auburn General Hospital be required to insert sleeve on existing sanitary Q sewer line and be responsible for any repair or maintenance of the line.

MOTION CARRIED CORRESPONDENCE The City Clerk read a petition for annexation of 2.5 acre parcel lying on the west side of Auburn Way North in the 4600 block. It was moved by Kitchell, seconded by Roegner, to call for a public hearing before the Council at its next regular meeting of November 17, 1980, to hear the petition for annextion of 2.5 acres lying on the west side of Auburn Way North in the 4600 block. MOTION CARRIED The City Clerk read a letter from William C. Trumbull regarding the renewal of the Les Rowland Special Property Use Permit. He asked why the City had renewed the permit without further action. Roegner asked Schuler for clarification. Schuler explained the building permit had been renewed without his knowledge and he had not had enough time to investigate the circumstances or check with Jack Bereiter as to whether the permit would have had to be issued anyway. Roegner asked that Schuler provide the course of events as to what happened and why it happened. Craig said the people in the area had been reassured that before the permit was renewed it would come back to the Council. He felt there ought to be some disciplinary action for the person responsible and demanded that there be some explanation. Hitchcock asked if there was anything, that could be done to back up on the permit. Bereiter stated he thought the City was bound by the permit and suggested in light of the court decision the City may not have had any choice in the matter. Roegner said there were two issues: 1.) It appeared there was no choice as to whether or not the permit had to be issued and 2.) The Council had asked the matter come back and at least inform the Council of the situation. -2- 202 AUBURN,_WASHINGTON _MONDAY _ NOVEMBER 3,_ ] 980 Judy Robinson, 1608 8th N.E., stated she was at the meeting to speak for the Police Department. She asked Mayor Kersey who had hired the police chief. He responded he had made a•recommendation and the Council had concurred. She asked who had taken away the comp. time. Mayor Kersey said no one had. He had written a memo which stated no comp. time would be added to the existing accumulation. Bereiter suggested this matter was now in litigation and would be clarified by the court. Ms. Robinson said she was very unhappy with the whole situation and would be back with more citizens to find out what was going on. RECOMMENDATIONS Public Works: 1.
