Resolution No. 4984 (Faber) Parks, Arts, and Recreation Director Daryl Faber stated that currently the City of Auburn has no existing policy to address donated items, such as, monuments, memorials, and structures located in City parks and City property. The City does have existing policy through the Parks, Arts, and Recreation Department, to address donated plaques, trees, benches and other items within the City’s parks. City Attorney Dan Heid provided a sample policy used by the City of San Jose, California that addresses and accomplishes several aspects of policy that would benefit the City. Two additional handouts were provided, a revised Resolution No. 4984 and an example of a Proposed Flag Pavilion located at the Les Gove Community Campus. Municipal Services Committee asked staff to provide a copy of the proposed Flag Pavilion that may be located at the Less Gove Community Campus. Revised Resolution No. 4984 specifies that the proposed policy is more comprehensive and addresses structures, monuments, and memorials for the entire City. The Resolution would also provide direction to preserve the City's rights to control what permanent structures are erected in City parks and/or on City property. Through recent discussions, the City recognized if an individual wanted to donate a monument, plaque, or other memorial in a location other than the City’s parks there is no policy in place for consideration or approval. The Committee agreed that the revised Resolution No. 4984 would benefit the City and provide a policy for consideration and approval of donated structures, monuments, and memorials throughout the City. Attorney Heid stated the City is at the beginning stages of discussing this policy and staff will be returning with a revised Resolution No. 4984, to address and accomplish the City's goals regarding policy for donated structures, monuments, and memorials. B. Resolution No. 4985 (Faber) Parks, Arts and Recreation Director Faber provided background information on Resolution No. 4985, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington, authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an agreement between the City of Auburn and King County Page 2 of 6 CA.A Page 5 of 45 accepting grant funds for youth sports facilities at Lea Hill Park. The grant award was for $60,000.00 and the City's portion of the grant match is $12,500.00. Green River Community College is partnering with the City to install the new sports facility. The Committee expressed gratitude for Green River Community College's participation in the development of the new Lea Hill Park. Committee was supportive of Resolution No. 4985. C. Comprehensive Downtown Parking Management Plan (CDPMP) (Yao/Chamberlain) Planner Gary Yao provided background information on the draft Comprehensive Downtown Parking Management Plan (CDPMP). The CDPMP primarily addresses parking policy within the Downtown Urban Center (DUC). After providing an overview of the plan’s purpose and approach Planner Yao asked the Committee if the CDPMP addressed the issues raised regarding parking in Downtown Auburn and if the proposed near term, short term, and long term recommendations are on track. The Committee expressed that the CDPMP addresses these goals and provides an academic understanding of the City’s parking, which is critical to the City’s existence. The CDPMP provides understanding and can be used as a guide for future decisions moving forward. The Committee thanked Planner Yao for his hard work. To provide greater readability of the plan, Planner Yao stated the final CDPMP will have more graphics and pictures. Planning Services Manager Chamberlain stated the next steps will be to seek comment from Public Works and Police on the CDPMP and return to the Committee with any additional modifications. D. ZOA13-0003 - Student/Rental Housing Code Amendments (Chamberlain) Planning Services Manager Elizabeth Chamberlain provided background information on ZOA13-0003 and reviewed the Planning Commission recommendations from the public hearing on item ZOA13-0003, Student/Rental Housing Code Amendments held August 20, 2013. Ordinance No. 6477 amends Title 5, Business and Licenses Regulations, and Title 18, Zoning, related to rental housing. Staff confirmed the date on Ordinance No. 6477, Page 2 of 13, the date the Washington State Department of Commerce approved the City's Page 3 of 6 CA.A Page 6 of 45 request for expedited review will be inserted, August 26, 2013. Vice-Chair Holman invited any audience member wanting to provide a public statement to come forward: Russ Campbell, 31606 126th Ave. SE, Auburn. Mr. Campbell expressed that he believes allowing a six (6) month period for the communal residence to become compliant with the amended code, Title 18 and Title 5 is unreasonable. He believes there are many landlords already operating a student/rental without complying with the Auburn City Codes and providing additional time would just extend the time a landlord can operate a non-compliant business. Mr. Campbell asked the Committee to consider changing the six (6) month amortization schedule to December 31, 2013 for businesses to become compliant to the amended code. The Committee agreed to revise the six (6) month amortization period, under 18.31.130, and requiring existing communal residences to become compliant by December 31, 2013. After reviewing and discussing the amendments, Committee determined they would move ZOA13-0003, Ordinance No. 6477 amending Title 5, Business and Licenses Regulations, and Title 18, Zoning, from Discussion to Action. Member Wales moved and Vice-Chair Holman seconded to recommend City Council adopt ZOA13-0003, Ordinance No. 6477 amending Title 5, Business and Licenses Regulations, and Title 18, Zoning as amended. Motion unanimously carried. 2-0 E. ZOA13-0005 - Amendments to C-1, Light Commercial Zone (Chamberlain) Planning Services Manager Elizabeth Chamberlain provided the staff report on ZOA13-0005, and reviewed the Planning Commission recommendations from the public hearing on item ZOA13-0005 held August 20, 2013. Ordinance No. 6478 amends Section 18.57.030 of the Auburn City Code related to the C-1 Light Commercial Zone and mixed-use development standards. Staff provided a handout to Committee, an email from Nicole Petrino- Salter, a Lea Hill resident expressing support of the proposed amendments and the Planning Commission recommendations. Page 4 of 6 CA.A Page 7 of 45 Ms. Chamberlain informed the Committee that the date the State of Washington Department of Commerce, Growth Management Services, has confirmed the City was approved for expedited review and the date on page two of Ordinance No. 6478 will be inserted. After reviewing the proposed amendments, the Committee determined they would move Ordinance No. 6478 amending Section 18.57.030 of the Auburn City Code related to the C-1 Light Commercial Zone and mixed-use development standards from Discussion to Action. Member Wales moved and Vice-Chair Holman seconded to recommend City Council adopt ZOA13-0005, Ordinance No. 6478 amending Section 18.57.030 of the Auburn City Code related to the C- 1 Light Commercial Zone and mixed-use development standards as amended, adding the date on page two of the Ordinance. Motion unanimously carried. 2-0 F. ZOA13-0004 Amendments to ACC 16.10.110, Critical Areas Regulations (Dixon) Principal Planner Jeff Dixon provided the background information on ZOA13-0004, and reviewed the Planning Commission recommendations from the public hearing on item ZOA13-0004 held August 20, 2013.

Background Summary: The proposed ordinance seeks to establish a process for City Council or Mayor decisions (depending upon the size or value) of monuments, memorials and structures to be located in City Parks or on City property. The Ordinance addresses criteria to be applied and does so as to distinguish these monuments and memorials as Government Speech (the right of the government to express itself in City parks and on City property) rather than opening the door for competing expressions of individual first amendment rights in a public forum. In essence, the Ordinance seeks to prevent such monuments from becoming a public forum for which individuals would be able to make the decision – ostensibly deciding what goes in City parks, for instance. The process and criteria are intended to make sure that the City (Mayor or City Council) is the recognized authority entitled to make the decisions of what monuments shall be permitted to be located on City property and (if so) where on the City property they shall be located.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN as follows: Section 1. Creation of a New Chapter to the City Code. A new Chapter 2.97 of the Auburn City Code (ACC) be, and the same hereby is created to read as follows: Chapter 2.97 MONUMENTS TO BE LOCATED IN CITY PARKS AND ON CITY PROPERTY Sections 2.97.010 Purpose and introduction. 2.97.020 Definitions. 2.97.030 Government speech on monuments. 2.97.040 Administration. 2.97.050 Donated and private funding of monuments. 2.97.060 Review process. 2.97.070 Review criteria. 2.97.080 Public right of way. 2.97.090 Other policies. 2.97.010 Purpose and introduction. A. The City may, from time to time, decide to install permanent outdoor Monuments on City property to provide the City’s commemoration of persons or events of note, or to otherwise convey the City’s position on various topics (“referred to as “Government Speech”). B. By placing Monuments on City property, the City intends only to engage in Government Speech and does not intend to open a public forum for free speech activity. C. The purpose of this Chapter is to establish criteria and guidelines for the consideration and installation of Monuments outdoors on City-owned property deemed by the City to be appropriate to serve as the site for a Monument. In doing so, the City recognizes the following considerations: ACT.B Page 21 of 45 ---------------------------- Ordinance No. 6480 September 4, 2013 Page 3 of 8 1. Monuments can convey a powerful connection between Auburn and its history, and in some instances its future. 2. It is therefore important that the placement of Monuments be limited to circumstances of the highest community-wide importance, both to maintain the significance of such Monuments and to minimize conflicts with the active and variable use of public spaces. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City may decide, in its sole discretion, to reject a proposal for a Monument and/or may determine the appropriate site for any and all City Monuments. 2.97.020 Definitions. “Monument” means a marker, statue, or other similar permanent structures and installations to express Government Speech, as further described in this Chapter, and which are installed by the City on City property, or which are accepted by the City and installed on City property with City permission. Monuments may be in various forms including statues, fountains, buildings, or gardens among other forms of monuments as determined by the City. Monuments do not include items dedicated in parks, such as benches, trees, small plaques (plaques not larger than two feet by three feet [2’ x 3’]), and other memorials with a dollar value that does not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), as determined by the estimated or anticipated cost of purchase or construction and installation or placement; Provided, however, that if the monument requires a building permit, it shall be included in the definition of monuments. Monuments do not include memorial signs as defined in the City’s Memorial Sign Program (Chapter 12.68 ACC) 2.97.030 Government speech on monuments. A. City’s Government Speech Topics. The City may install or accept City- approved Monuments on City property as a form of “Government Speech” (per doctrines addressed in Rosenberger v. Rector and Visitors of Univ. of Va., 515 U.S. 819, 115 S.Ct. 2510, 132 L.Ed.2d 700 [1995] and cases relying thereon) as City recognition of significant events or people or to provide information from the City on topics approved by the City, as set forth below: 1. The contributions of individuals or groups who made a substantial impact upon the City, the Auburn Community, King County, Pierce County, Washington State, or the United States; 2. The City’s position on topics of interest to the community, as determined by the City Council; 3. The history of Auburn, the State of Washington, or of the United States; 4. Historical or cultural influences on Auburn; 5. Native flora, fauna and wildlife of Auburn and the greater Auburn Area – the area surrounding Auburn and regionally in the vicinity of Auburn; 6. Local innovation or creativity that has contributed to Auburn’s growth and prosperity; or ACT.B Page 22 of 45 ---------------------------- Ordinance No. 6480 September 4, 2013 Page 4 of 8 7. Other criteria selected by the City Council and set forth in an amendment to this Chapter. B. The City shall not place Monuments on City property which have the purpose of promoting, favoring or inhibiting any religion or which would appear to a reasonable person that the City is promoting, favoring, or opposing a religion. 2.97.040 Administration. A. The Mayor may recommend to City Council the approval or denial of monument proposals. The Mayor may enact administrative guidelines and procedures to implement this Chapter, including without limitation, designation of locations deemed amenable to Monuments. The Mayor shall also designate the Lead Department or Departments for Monuments located on City property depending on the proposed location of the Monument and the potential impact to City Departments. B. Notwithstanding that certain City property is operated or managed by a private operator pursuant to an agreement, the evaluator of the Monument and the final decision maker shall be the City and not the private operator or manager. C. The Director of the Lead Department shall coordinate with the Director of Parks, Art and Recreation if there are any questions or issues as to whether a proposed Monument is primarily Public Art, or whether it otherwise fits into the City’s Public Art programs. 2.97.050 Donated and private funding of monuments. A. In accordance with Chapter 2.87 ACC, the City encourages private donations to the City to support various City programs and City operations, which may include without limitation, the cost of acquisition, installation and maintenance of Monuments on City property. The City prefers to receive private donations in the form of funds that may be used by the City to review, design, fabricate, acquire, install and/or maintain Monuments, rather than the donation of a completed Monument. B. However, the City may from time to time, at City’s sole option, consider accepting a completed Monument as a form of Government Speech, provided that the Monument meets the City’s approved Government Speech topics and also meets all of the other criteria set forth in this Chapter and in any related administrative guidelines or procedures. After City’s acceptance of a Monument which acceptance shall be through an appropriate process approved by the City, and subject to City’s explicit approval of installation of the Monument upon City property, title to the Monument shall vest with City and the City may remove, relocate and shall otherwise have sole control over the Monument. C. While the City appreciates donations of Monuments to the City, the City is under no obligation to accept any donated Monument even if the Monument meets, or could be said to meet, all of the criteria set forth in this Chapter. The City’s decision to accept a donated Monument may also depend upon the cost to the City of design, fabrication, installation and maintenance of the Monument and site considerations, among other factors. D. The City may, at its option, decide for budgetary reasons to prioritize Monuments where the City expects to receive donated funding to cover the cost of ACT.B Page 23 of 45 ---------------------------- Ordinance No. 6480 September 4, 2013 Page 5 of 8 design, fabrication, installation and maintenance of the Monument. Unless otherwise agreed by City Council, the donor of a proposed Monument is responsible for providing the City with funds to cover the cost of review, design, fabrication, installation and maintenance to ensure adequate care for the Monument. 2.97.060 Review process. A. The Mayor or his or her designee shall provide the initial screening of Monument proposals to determine if the proposed Monument complies with the provisions of this Chapter including without limitation, to evaluate the suitability of the proposed Monument site, if any. The Mayor (or his or her designee) shall decide whether to forward the proposal for further review or to decline further City consideration of the proposed Monument based upon considerations consistent with this Chapter. If the Mayor’s decision is to conduct further review of the proposal, the proposal shall be referred to the appropriate department. B. The Lead Department shall prepare a report for consideration by the Mayor and such board or commission designated by the Mayor or City Council, if any, and shall coordinate with other affected departments. The Lead Department shall make an advisory recommendation to the Mayor regarding the Monument based upon the factors set forth in this Chapter and the Review Criteria set forth below. C. The City shall have final approval of a City project to design and construct a Monument, or to accept a donated Monument. The Mayor shall consider the Lead Department’s recommendation and make a final determination regarding the proposed Monument and whether to approve the Monument or to seek City Council approval of the Monument if the cost or value of the Monument exceeds the Mayor’s purchasing authority level as set forth in ACC 3.10.020. D. The Mayor shall, on at least a quarterly basis, informing the City Council of all of the Monument donations and application proposals received by the Mayor, and the Mayor’s decision regarding each proposal. E. Each Monument applicant or donor shall be informed in writing of their right to appeal the Mayor’s decision, as described below, in the Monument donation/application materials prepared by the City. If a proponent for a proposed Monument disagrees with the Mayor’s decision regarding a proposed Monument, the proponent may submit a written appeal of the decision to the City Clerk’s Office within 10 calendar days of the Mayor’s decision. F. The City Council shall evaluate the merits of the appeal of any decision of the Mayor. The City Council shall make a final determination on the approval or denial of the Monument proposal by evaluating (i) the merits of the Monument proposal based upon the criteria set forth in this Chapter, (ii) the Mayor’s reason for denial and, (iii) the results of any staff review of the proposal. G. All required environmental review shall be approved by the City’s planning department before the City commits to installing a Monument. The Monument shall be consistent with adopted City master plans unless those plans are amended as a part of the review process. ACT.B Page 24 of 45 ---------------------------- Ordinance No. 6480 September 4, 2013 Page 6 of 8 H. While a formal building permit is not required, the Building Official shall review the structure and site plan to ensure conformance with the building code adopted by Washington State. I. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City may decide, in its sole discretion, to reject a proposal for a Monument and/or may determine the appropriate site for any and all City Monuments. J. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Auburn City Code, the process set forth in this Chapter shall be the only City process for reviewing the siting or location of monuments. 2.97.070 Review criteria. A. A proposed Monument must: 1. Pass City safety and liability exposure review. 2. Conform to the approved Government Speech topics. 3. Be made of durable materials, able to withstand the elements for a minimum of 50 years with minimum maintenance. 4. Be made of materials resistant to vandalism and graffiti as much as is reasonably possible. 5. Be of a scale, materials, color and style appropriate and consistent with aesthetics of the proposed location of the Monument and such other reasonable factors as the City determines, including but not limited to sight distance, safety, and other applicable requirements for structures as set forth in the Auburn City Code. 6. Conform to the requirements of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) to ensure that there is a path that allows access to the monument. 7. Conform to the adopted building code to ensure that the footing and monument are structurally adequate. B. The City shall also consider whether: 1. The person, group or event being memorialized deemed by the City to have made a significant enough contribution to merit a Monument of the scale, cost and visibility of the proposed Monument. 2. The Monument duplicates existing Monument themes. Multiple monuments for similar or related groups are disfavored. 3. The Monument proposal has been the subject of one or more public meetings conducted by the Monument’s proponents. The public meeting shall be conducted in accordance with ACC Section 18.02.030. 4. The proposed Monument has the general support of the persons or community that the Monument is intended to honor. If through the public meeting process, the Mayor finds that a proposed Monument is a source of substantial dissention or discord within the City, the Mayor shall seek direction from such board or commission designated by the Mayor or City Council, if any, before making a final determination. 5. The proposed site in the park or plaza for the Monument is related to the underlying purpose of the Monument or the site in the park or plaza has been designated in a master plan or other approval of the City Council or Mayor as a particularly appropriate site for a proposed Monument. ACT.B Page 25 of 45 ---------------------------- Ordinance No. 6480 September 4, 2013 Page 7 of 8 6. The Monument has been designed by or under the direct supervision of a qualified professional in the art or design field, and provides a quality, scale, and character commensurate with the location, circulation, and use patterns of the City property. Qualified professionals include registered architects, engineers, landscape architects and artists who can demonstrate professional recognition in the form of public commissions or permanent public installations. The City may solicit input from such professionals, and from planners or urban designers in making this determination. Monuments shall not displace the intended function and or use of said property, as articulated in adopted master plans or similar City documents. 7. There is a committed and verifiable funding source for the review, design, fabrication, installation and maintenance of the Monument before proceeding to incur City costs and staff time. The proponents of the Monument agree to enter an agreement to provide the City with funds that cover the cost of review, design, fabrication and installation, and an adequate endowment to cover the cost of the Monument’s maintenance as determined by City. Alternatively, the City may consider accepting an agreement from a group to maintain a Monument in perpetuity and in accordance to City Standards rather than a cash endowment. 8. If the monument proposes to fly the flag on another country, the Mayor or City Council shall consider whether there are other opportunities for monuments, memorials or similar structures to convey the messages or accomplish the purposes of the proposed monument where the foreign flag is or could be flown, in Auburn, or elsewhere. 2.97.080 Public right of way. The public right of way shall not be considered as a site for Monuments, except as provided for in Chapter 12.68 ACC. 2.97.090 Other policies. A. Nothing in this Chapter is intended to supersede or limit any other City Code Sections or Administrative Policies, including, but not limited to: the City’s Policies and Procedures for its Art in Public Places programs, whether the art is privately or publicly funded, and the provisions of Ordinance No. 6243 (including Chapter 2.85 ACC) and Resolution No’s. 4546 (Percent for Art) and 4323 (Integrated Artwork), and the Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department Policies and Procedures for Gift Acceptance and Donor Recognition. B. This Chapter does not cover temporary installations on City property, nor does it limit the City’s ability to place signage or plaques on City property to provide donor or sponsor recognition, public information regarding a City project, or to place historical markers or to provide other information to the public. Section 2. Implementation. The Mayor is hereby authorized to implement such administrative procedures as may be necessary to carry out the directions of this legislation.

There are two island areas within the King County portion of Auburn, known as Klump/Thomas PAA and Totem/Stuck PAA, and one peninsula area within the Pierce County portion of Auburn. In February 2008, the City put to vote the Klump/Thomas and Totem/Stuck annexations. Both did not pass. The City has not pursued annexation of the remaining PAA in Pierce County until now. Discussion There are several ways property can be in annexed into a city and the most common methods are briefly summarized below: · Through an election method where the registered voters who live within the annexation area vote; simple majority needed (initiated by petition by residents equal to 10% of votes casts at last state general election in area). · Through a petition method – to initiate property owners representing at least 10% of the value of the properties sign a petition and submit to the City. If the City Council accepts the petition then must have a petition with signatures of owners representing at least 60% of the value of properties or acreage and signatures are valid for 180 days. · Through island annexation method – available when an area is 80% or greater surrounded by incorporated jurisdictions. City Council approves a Resolution, then City submits a Notice of Intent to Annex to the Boundary Review Board (BRB). If another city or district does not invoke jurisdiction within 45-days, then the BRB can move forward with their decision. If the BRB approves the annexation, then the City can move forward with an Ordinance on the annexation and if within 45-days a referendum petition is not filed that is signed by qualified electors not less than 10% of the votes cast in the last DI.A Page 29 of 45 general state election in the area to be annexed, the annexation becomes effective. If a referendum petition is filed, then the annexation is put to a vote. Island/Peninsula Potential Annexation Areas: Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Klump/Thomas PAA · Approximately 19.95 acres · 24 parcels; 1 vacant · Primarily single family residences · King County Zoning: R-4, 4 du/acre · Auburn Land Use Designation: Light Industrial Totem/Stuck PAA · Approximately 22.10 acres · 55 parcels; 1 vacant · Primarily single family residences · King County Zoning: R-4, 4 du/acre, and Industrial · Auburn Land Use Designation: Heavy Commercial and High Density Residential Remaining Pierce County PAA · Approximately 158.34 acres · 73 parcels; 6 vacant · Primarily single family residences · Pierce County Zoning: Moderate Density Residential 4-6 du/acre · Auburn Land Use Designation: Single Family Residential and Open Space (BPA Lines) Proposed Schedule: · Put Notice of Intent Application (NOI) Together – two applications because annexing in two counties o Minimum one month o Team: Legal, Finance, Survey, Public Works, and Bonney Lake Water/Public Works for Pierce County PAA · Submit NOI to Boundary Review Board – 45 days for other jurisdictions/districts to invoke jurisdiction · Resolution to Council and establish public hearing date · Public Hearing and adopt Ordinance – establish zoning for area based on designated land use in comprehensive plan · Minimum 45-days for BRB review and voters to have referendum opportunity DI.A Page 30 of 45 Discussion Questions: 1.

The City received six submittals that will be reviewed by a team including the PCDC Chair, Planning and Development, Public Works, and Parks, Arts, and Recreation. The RFQ submittals are from Triangle Associates, Studio 3MW, Elway Research, Inc., MIG, BDS Planning & Urban Design, and Beckwith Group. The anticipated schedule for consultant selection and visioning work is as follows: · Consultant Selection: by September 10th · Develop Scope of Work with Consultant: September 11th – September 20th · Present Consultant Agreement to PCDC: September 23rd · Refine Scope of Work based on Committee feedback · 2nd Committee Review October 7th · City Council Action October 7th · Visioning Work: Mid-October 2013 through January 2014 Discussion Question: 1.

Attachments: Request for Qualifications DI.C Page 38 of 45 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) CITY OF AUBURN VISIONING CITY OF AUBURN REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) CITY OF AUBURN VISIONING The City of Auburn (“City”) is requesting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from firms experienced in assisting a community through a comprehensive community-wide visioning exercise. Pursuant to the Washington State Growth Management Act, the City of Auburn is required to complete its Comprehensive Plan update by June 30, 2015. As a precursor to the update, the City would like to engage the community in a variety of visioning exercises that acheive the following:  Inclusive: Auburn is rich in diversity and the visioning process needs to be designed in a manner that reaches as many segments of the population as possible (e.g. culture, age, socio-economic, spatial).  Cohesive: The geography of Auburn and its history of annexation has resulted in neighborhoods that are geographically separated; while the visioning exercise should recognize the identity of individual neighborhoods it must emphasize that we are a single community.  Accessible: The visioning exercise should not rely upon traditional formats of government interaction with the community and should instead favor an approach that emphasizes innovative ways to communicate and that brings the visioning process to the people.  City Driven: The City of Auburn believes that it is important for the process to be a direct dialogue between staff/electeds and the community therefore the structure of this effort should assume that staff/electeds will take the lead in interacting with the community and that the consultant will act as an advisor in setting up the structure of the program, meeting formats, outreach initiatives, data analyzer, etc. The SOQ will present the review team with qualifications and must identify:  Areas of expertise and experience that the firm has in developing and implementing a community visioning process that achieves the above above priorities; DI.C Page 39 of 45 2  An overview of the methods of communication and meeting formats that you have found to be effective for each of the above categories and why they were effective;  Primary team members’ qualifications and roles in the project as well as relevant past experience;  Availability of team members;  A description of experience in working with public sector and elected officials, and any references to other jurisdictions; and  Willingness to work with other consultants identified by the City. Ten (10) copies of the SOQ must be submitted by September 3, 2013 to the City of Auburn. The SOQ must be received by 5:00 P.M. on and shall be submitted, in a sealed envelope, to: Mailing Address: Ms. Elizabeth Chamberlain Planning Manager City of Auburn Planning and Development Department 25 West Main Street Auburn, Washington 98001 Physical Address: Ms. Elizabeth Chamberlain Planning Manager City of Auburn Planning and Development Department One East Main Street Auburn, Washington 98001 Qualification statements received later than September 3, 2013 5:00 P.M. will not be considered. No facsimile or emailed SOQ’s will be accepted. Postmarks also will not be accepted. Questions regarding this RFQ should be directed to Elizabeth Chamberlain, (253) 931-3092 (echamberlain@auburnwa.gov) at the City of Auburn. This RFQ is a first step toward selecting a developer for the project. Based on responses to this RFQ, certain selected development teams may be interviewed. The City of Auburn reserves the right to reject any and all submittals or team members and to waive irregularities and informalities in the evaluation process. This RFQ does not obligate the City to pay any costs incurred by respondents in the preparation and submission of qualifications or subsequent proposals. This solicitation does not obligate the City of Auburn to accept or contract for any expressed or implied services.
