Background for Motion:
Background Summary:
Resolution No. 5680 adopts the Material Change Policy related to the management of funds
generated by the Transportation Benefit District as required by RCW 36.73.160. The Material
Change Policy is to address major plan changes that affect project delivery or the ability to
finance the plan; and address material changes to cost, scope and schedule; the level of
change that will require Council involvement; and how the Council will address those changes.
The City of Auburn already has policies in place related to administration of projects related to
scope, schedule and budget in ACC 3.10 and ACC 3.12 that address almost all of the
requirements of the RCW’s requirements. In addition, in the most recent update of the
Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) that Council adopted in June of 2022, the expenditure
of the Transportation Benefit District Funds was identified and provide the Plan for the District
per the requirements of the RCWs.
The only specific item not currently addressed in the City’s current policies as adopted by
Council is the requirement for a public hearing if costs for a project exceed 20% of the
adopted plan for the Transportation Benefit District. To address this, staff propose to address
this through the use of a TIP amendment process which already requires a public hearing.
This proposal provides for an efficient process for staff to manage this requirement within the
structure of our existing administrative processes.

Administrative Recommendation:
For discussion only.
Background for Motion:
Background Summary:
Resolution No. 5681 proposes modifications to the City's Fee Schedule as part of its annual
review process. Each department has reviewed its fees, rates, and changes, to ensure they
are reflective of current costs, or inflation where appropriate.
Consistent with previous Council direction the System Development Charges (SDC’S) for Water,
Sewer and Storm Drainage were adjusted based on the Construction Cost Index (CCI) through
August of 2022 and is an increase of 9.4%. SDC’s are charged to developers for new connections
to our utilities systems and are specifically collected to pay for the growth needed within our utility
systems to serve these new customers.
The Traffic Impact Fee adjustments was previously discussed with the City Council at the May 9,
2022 Study Session.
The Airport Advisory Board recommended for the Council to approve the Airport Fee adjustments
of a 8% percent increase at their September 14, 2022 Board meeting. Previous adjustments have
been consistent with CPI, which is 9.5% as of June 2022. After discussion, the Airport Board felt
an adjustment of 7% was appropriate for 2023.

It is possible a violation existed prior to property purchase by a new owner, was constructed by an individual who mislead the owner, or was constructed by an individual who was unaware of code requirements. The fact that violations may not have been created by the current owner does not relieve Code Enforcement staff from their
responsibility to seek compliance from the property owner. When assessing permit fees,
consideration may be given based on the circumstances, severity of the violation, and timeliness of the property owner to resolve and obtain required permits and compliance with City code.

M. WAIVER OF FEES (Per Resolution No. 5181). 1. The Mayor is authorized to waive any fees for permits, licenses, publications and actions as authorized by Sections 2.03.030, 5.10.030 and 12.60.020 of the City Code. 2. The Mayor is also authorized to reduce, and is vested with to discretion to reduce in compelling cases, by up to 50% any fees for permits, publications and actions where the applicant – the party responsible for payment of such fees – is an organization exempt from taxation under 26 US 501(c)(3), and where the permit(s), publication(s) and/or action(s) relate directly to the provision of charitable services to residents of the City of Auburn. Charitable services are defined as events or services provided to the residents of Auburn free of charge and where the City is a sponsor of the specific event or service. For the purposes hereof, “compelling
cases” mean instances where there is an extraordinary need (greatly beyond current and ordinary need) for the charitable services that would be able to be provided. The intent of this authorization is to empower the Mayor with sole discretion to waive some fees in unique situations where there
is a greatly increased need for new charitable services to be provided, and where the reduction of fees to the City will not detrimentally impact the City’s ability to provide municipal services. This waiver does not include Impact Fees, System Development Charges, any fees related to Franchise or Public Way Agreements, Right-of-way Vacations, Right-of-Way Use Permits, Facility Extensions, Police Department Fees, Animal Licensing Fees and Penalties, Banner Permit Fees, or Cemetery or Parks fees.

Background Summary:
In early 2022 a Council Ad Hoc Committee was formed to discuss sustainable funding needs
for the City’s Arterial and Local Street Preservation Programs. In April 2022, the City Council
concurred with the Ad Hoc Committee’s funding recommendation, which included a three-
pronged approach: Implementation of a .1% Sales Tax as authorized by RCW 36.73.040(3)
(a)(v) effective January 1, 2023; increasing the utility tax on city operated utilities to 2.5%
effective January 1, 2023; and implementing car tab fees by January 1, 2025. Leveraging
and implementing these three funding options will generate an estimated $7 million in
revenue, to exclusively fund essential transportations improvements citywide. Based on the
concurrence of the City Council, management developed a proposed 2023-2024 Biennial
Budget and a 2023-2028 Capital Facilities plan incorporating these new funding sources.
Ordinance No. 6881 enacts a 0.1% sales and use tax to fund the Transportation Benefit District
formed by the City in 2011 pursuant to RCW 36.73.020(3). The sales tax and use tax imposed
shall not exceed a period of ten years and will be used for the purpose of raising revenue to
acquire, invest in, construct, improve, operate, preserve, maintain and/or fund transportation
improvements with the City of Auburn’s Transportation Benefit District. In conjunction with this
ordinance, the Auburn City Code (ACC) will also be updated to reflect the additional tax and its
use.

Page 65 of 81
DRAFT 2023 WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
PUBLIC SAFETY
ISSUE: The City of Auburn supports the continued reforms to policing and community caretaking in our
State and wishes to continue working in concert with legislators, police officers, our communities and
others to continue this effort.
• REQUEST: Work with cities to make technical fixes those bills in which language is vague,
conflicting or confusing.
• REQUEST: Support changing language in regards to police pursuits from probable cause to
reasonable suspicion as it relates to “…crimes against persons offenses pursuant to RCW
9.94A.411, or another criminal offense where the public safety risks of failing to apprehend or
identify the person are considered to be greater than the safety risks of the vehicular pursuit
under the circumstances” as outlined in SB 5919 in the 2022 session. The City of Auburn
supports balancing the level of the offense and the authority to pursue.
ISSUE: Police agencies are currently in a staffing crisis. As we recover from the pandemic and also seek
to fill vacated positions we will need tools to ensure our departments are fully staffed and able to
effectively respond to local public safety needs.
• REQUEST: Additional funding for the Basic Law Enforcement Academy (BLEA) would drastically
shorten the amount of time prospective police officers are on municipal payrolls without being
able to get into training.
• REQUEST: Additional funding for officer wellness and DEI staffing within police agencies.
ISSUE: Impacts to towing companies from the Seattle v. Long decision force cities to expend more sums
for towing services.
• REQUEST: Additional dedicated funding to cities for towing services, or an increase in funding to
the State reimbursement account under RCW 46.53.010
ISSUE: Ongoing crime/public safety issues related to illegal drug use.
• REQUEST: Restoration of criminal penalties for possession and use of illegal drug paraphernalia
• REQUEST: Restore drug free school zones and expand to community parks
ISSUE: RCW 10.112.010 requires a subpoena for records In a criminal investigation of an offense
involving the sexual exploitation of children. This process is slow and can lead to further exploitation of
children or allow the perpetrator to avoid arrest.
• REQUEST: Change the requirement to a search warrant to allow officers to quickly identify
evidence to interrupt the cybercrimes against children.
Page 66 of 81
DRAFT 2023 WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
REGULATORY & LAND USE
ISSUE: As communities grow there are no impact fees to benefit police.
• REQUEST: Enact legislation that would allow cities to collect a police impact fee since added
population and businesses have the same resource demands and challenges as fire,
transportation, parks and schools.
ISSUE: Affordable housing needs are deeper than 60% AMI – more like 50% or 40%. Washington State
Housing Finance Commission programs are providing great support for projects that hit the 60% AMI
mark.
• REQUEST: Create incentives to hit the deeper marks since that is where the greatest need exists.
• REQUEST: Future legislation related to affordable housing, missing middle housing or other land
use laws must provide safe harbor for those cities that are creating or in the process of creating
their Housing Action Plan (HAP) in line with previous legislative actions that included grant
funding provided by the State Legislature.
ISSUE: Rehabilitate Existing Affordable housing. There are very few programs that help maintain older
homes and multifamily complexes which results in one of two outcomes (1) older properties are
maintained appropriately but the investment is reflected in increasing rental costs, or (2) older
properties are not maintained which helps keep rental costs down but at the sake of declining health
and safety.
• REQUEST: Create dedicated funds to put towards the rehabilitation of single or multifamily units
because it is far less expensive and environmentally sustainable to preserve existing housing
stock instead of building new units and will ensure housing stock is readily available in the
market.
ISSUE: The large number of regulatory processes are a hindrance to bringing affordable housing projects
to fruition including SEPA, GMA, NPDES. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) is an outdated and overly
burdensome process that adds time and money. Growth Management Act (GMA) and affordable
housing objectives are at direct odds because the GMA limits supply which increases costs. National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) adds significant cost to development which is passed on
to future owners or tenants.
• REQUEST: Allow procedural relief for any mandates that the State Legislature imparts upon
cities. Work with cities to make it easier for us to update our local laws if or when it is in
response to a State mandate rather than having to go through all of the obligations related to
the planning commission, SEPA, public notice, etc.
PUBLIC WORKS, TRANSPORTATION, INFRASTRUCTURE
ISSUE: It is critical to protect all of the State funds that support local transportation projects. The cities
cannot do this on their own given the amount of growth and commerce in the region. This includes
maintained or increased funding for Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) and Freight Mobility
Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB) along with state grant programs managed by the WSDOT for local
agency projects.
Page 67 of 81
DRAFT 2023 WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
• REQUEST: Create a Street Maintenance Utility for the preservation of roadways. This is
paramount need for all cites and could be an important tool for cities to meet this growing
unfunded need.
• REQUEST: Make changes to appropriate RCWs to allow Municipalities to charge properties for
street lighting. Current RCW 54.16.120 allows Utility Districts to charge properties for providing
street lighting but the law does not allow Municipalities to do this. Current revenues for general
fund uses cannot meet the needs and charging for street lighting would be an appropriate way
to address a specific service being provided to residents and businesses within a jurisdiction.
• REQUEST: Retain or increase the Public Works Trust Fund amount. The legislature continues to
raid this fund to fix structural budget issues and it must stop. The PWTF it is key to providing
funding for local agency projects.
• REQUEST: Retain and increase the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. This fund is key for local
water purveyors to cost effectively fund needed infrastructure projects.
• REQUEST: Support allocating 1% of the existing aviation fuel tax to WSDOT’s Aviation account to
fund airport projects. Current levels of funding cannot meet the growing need to maintain and
improve this important infrastructure that provides a significant benefit to commerce and the
State’s economy.
PARKS AND OPEN SPACES
ISSUE: Help cities protect and maintain parks and open spaces
• REQUEST: Maintain funding for the Washington Recreation & Conservation Office and
Land/Water Conservation Fund so residents have increased access to existing and new public
spaces
• REQUEST: Support Washington State Historical Society’s (WSHS) capital budget request and the
Heritage Capital Projects in the 2023-2025 funding biennium which includes the transformation
of Auburn’s Historic Post office building into an Arts & Culture Center
• REQUEST: Support Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) request for municipal parks
deferred maintenance grant funding program in the 2023-25 Operating Budget
SOCIAL SERVICES
ISSUE: Cities throughout the State do not have the local resources available to adequately address
homelessness, substance abuse disorders and untreated mental illness.
• REQUEST: Support greater funding for behavioral health programs and incentivize workers to
pursue careers in behavioral health
• REQUEST: Support and fund programs that will alleviate the need for police response to quality
of life issues such as mental distress or illness, substance abuse and persons experiencing
homelessness
• REQUEST: Make any necessary changes to State laws that prohibit cities from hiring Mental
Health Professionals or Designated Crisis Responders.

FIREWORKS REPORT
Page 74 of 81
AUBURN POLICE DEPARTMENT
Background
In 2022, the Auburn Police Department continued to maintain a “zero tolerance” policy on the possession
and/or discharge of illegal fireworks in the city. If officers were able to establish probable cause for either
possession or discharge of illegal fireworks, they were to cite the appropriate city code. If officers were unable
to establish probable cause for a particular individual, and fireworks were present, the fireworks were to be
confiscated for destruction. In 2020, the City ordinance was changed to reflect the ability of Officers to issue civil
infractions instead of criminal citations for many portions of the city code.
Objectives
Objectives from 2020 and 2021 were continued in 2022.
1. Continue efforts to improve communication and collaborative efforts with representatives from the
Muckleshoot Indian Tribe.
o Mike Jerry was the Muckleshoot Tribe Fireworks Commissioner for 2022. Mike was the primary contact
for all issues related to fireworks.
o The Tribe communicated well with the City, giving advance notice of when vendor displays would take
place along with concerts that had an impact on traffic in the area. The City was able to notify citizens
of the event so they could plan accordingly.
o The Tribe continued with the same hours of operation for the stands as 2021, the stands and discharge
area were open until 2200 Sunday‐Thursday and until 0000 on Friday and Saturday. The Tribe
maintained the hours of operation on July 4th to 0200 on July 5th. The Tribe continued their agreement
not to allow the discharge of fireworks at the stands after 0200 on July 5th.
o The Tribe did not notify the City of any restrictions at the stands related to COVID‐19, but the sales of
fireworks did start about 30 days later than in 2021.
2. Continue with an active Officer presence and enforcement in the neighborhoods with proactive fireworks
patrols and response to 911 complaints of fireworks.
o Fireworks emphasis patrols started this year on June 13th and ran through July 5th.
o APD maintained our deployment of 6 Officers and a Sergeant at the stands on July 4th.
o APD assigned one Sergeant and 6 officers to the north end of the city on July 4th between 1500 and
0100.
o APD assigned one Sergeant and 6 officers to the south end of the city on July 4th between 1500 and
0100.
o APD assigned one Sergeant and 12 officers to the City Parks and Schools on July 4th between 1500 and
0100. This was based upon events from 2021.

Results
During the 2022 fireworks emphasis (excluding July 4th), 7 officers worked a total of 78 hours between
June 13th and July 5th. In 2021, 11 officers worked 114 hours between June 24th and July 5th. In 2022 there
were 78 hours and 13 shifts that went unfilled. The unfilled shifts primarily occurred as the holiday got closer
and was impacted by at least one Departmental training day. There were also staffing issues that directly
affected the number of officers available for these shifts.
On July 4, 2022, 18 Officers and three Sergeants were assigned to fireworks emphasis patrols throughout the
city, the same number of officers assigned in 2021. Officers worked as two man units utilizing marked units
increasing visibility to the citizens. The deployment was split into 6 officer elements, supervised by 1 Sergeant
for effective command and control. Deployments were split into South End, North End and Parks/Schools.
Six officers and one Sergeant were deployed to the fireworks stands for crowd control and a police presence in
the discharge area. Several thousand citizens patronized the stands throughout the day. There were no
significant injuries and one minor injury to patrons on the evening of July 4th. There were no significant fireworks
related injuries at the stands during the week leading up to the holiday. There was an assault victim located at
the discharge area. This male refused to cooperate with the police regarding the assault, but was treated by
VRFA Fire/Aid on scene.
There were no reported injuries to officers this year.
The peak activity hours for firework related calls was between 9:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. Emphasis units began at
1500 HRS and secured at 0100. Calls prior to this time were handled by the patrol shifts on duty. The stands
were shut down by the stands officers and 10 extra emphasis officers, in coordination with the fireworks
commissioner and fireworks security members, by 0100 hours. This began at approximately 11:45 p.m. and
took about one hour to complete the task.
As the stands and discharge area began to clear, officers were deployed to several locations on Auburn Way
South, (the primary egress route for attendees). This was done to discourage people from moving to private
parking lots and Les Gove Park, which were along this egress route.

Confiscated Fireworks
Officers confiscated 3179 fireworks. This was an increase from 309 in 2021. A year in which there were very few
fireworks confiscated. The mission focus was on positive community interaction, creating positive relationships
between the community and the police department and the safety of community members and their property.
There were no serious injuries from fireworks reported at the stands this year and Valley Regional Fire Authority
did not report any major fires.
Lessons Learned
For 2022, the department again focused on areas that had the highest volume of firework complaints in the past
and shifted emphasis enforcement to those areas as needed.
For the fourth year in a row, VRFA shared our SpecOps channel, easing communications between police and fire.
Co‐operation with the Tribe was again excellent. Tribal representatives for the stands were in constant
communication with the police department.
An emphasis was placed on patrolling the parks, which reduced the amount of firework debris left behind.
There was an emphasis placed on education leading up to the 4th. There were several social media posts made
regarding legal and illegal fireworks. This should not only continue in 2023, but be increased.
The traffic on Auburn Way South was backed up for most of the afternoon and evening due to the left turn lane
into the stands/discharge area. Working with City engineers to keep the left turn arrow on longer will potentially
increase traffic flow and mitigate the impact to the community.
In previous years, some of the Auburn schools were targeted by citizens as discharge areas. No damage was
documented, but there was trash left behind. In 2022, a school officer was deployed with the Park/Schools unit
to Patrol her respective high schools and the neighboring schools in their area. Other officers in that unit assisted
with that task.
There were no significant issues at City Parks this year. This was different from previous years in which the Parks
had been a popular place for fireworks discharge. For 2023, APD will work with the Parks Department to add
more signage to the parks in addition to gaining access to keys, and training, for activating City park watering
systems to activate sprinklers as a tool to dissuade citizens from accessing the parks after dark if this would
become necessary. This will be done to help prevent the issue in the Parks from re‐occurring.
