The assessment:roll for Local Improvement District No. 344 provides
for the construction of a portion of a decorative sidewalk and
pedestrian illuazination system in conjunction with Street Improvement
No. 292 to provide new streets, curbs and sidewalks along East Main
Street from Auburn Avenue to Auburn Way North. Any citizen
desiring to object to the assessment or any portion of the same can do
so at this time.
' Prior to opening ths public hearing Mayor. Roegner asked Frank Currie
to brief the Council on the proposed Local Improvement District.
Frank Currie said over fifty percent of the property owners within the
proposed local improvement district have signed petitions to form LID
344 to reconstruct Main Street from Auburn Avenue to Aubum Way.
Registered letters were sent to the property owners within the area of
the proposed LID explaining the intent of the city, and that no
remonstrances have been received. Mr. Currie stated the construction
will begin in June and will be complete by August 1, 1991. There will
be no construction during the month of August.

1. Jack Rucinskv.- 10625 Marine View Dr. S.W., Seattle, WA 98146
Jack Rucinsky is the property owner where Nelsons Jewelry is
located. Mr. Rucinsky questioned why tliis project is not being
funded by a GO Bond, and why the assessments were figured by
lineal foot and not by square foot. He felt determining
assessments by square footage is more equitable.
2. Virginia Haugen - 2503 R St. S.E., Auburn, WA
Virginia Haugen felt the city should be fixing Auburn Way North
instead of two blocks on Main Street. She stated future
development: of larger businesses in Auburn will discourage
shopping downtown. 3. Wavne Heisserman - 20 B Street N.E:, Auburn, WA
Wayne Heisserman stated many hours have been spent working
with the city over the years to upgrade downtown Aubum. He
said the proposed project is a combination of a larger project
where everyone has to do their share. Mr. Heisserman supports
the extra cost in the improvements in order to make downtown
Aubum pedestrian orientated.
4. William Morchin - 1345 Main Street, Auburn, WA

Brothers to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 5-0.
Frank Cunie responded to questions raised during the public
heazing. In res"ponse to the question regarding why GO Bonds are
not being issued for the proposed project, he stated public money
is paying for over 6096 of the project, and 4096 will be assessed
against the property owners within the proposed area of LID 344..
Frank Currie said a portion of the construction costs will be paid
by the Water Fund, Storm Drainage Fund, and the Arterial Street
Fund.
Regarding the question of why the assessments are measured by
lineal feet opposed to square feet, Mr. Cunie stated it is typical to
measure properfy by lineal feet when estimating a portion of the
costs of the improvement. ,
Councilmember Whittall asked Mr. and Mrs. Cavanaugh how they
felt about the proposed local improvement district. Answering
from the Council floor, Mrs. Cavanaugh stated they would have
liked the improvement to have been extended to their property.

time based on need, and the Downtown Plan features
. improvements to other areas on Main Street.
