Administrativ e Recommendation:
City Council to approve Ordinance No. 6942.
Background for Motion:
This Ordinance would allow Zayo Group, LLC to continue to operate their existing fiber optic
telecommunications facilities located in the public ways within the City limits. Zayo provides
telecommunications services that include telecommunications capacity and dark fiber,
transmission of voice, data, or other electronic information, non-switched, dedicated and
private line services, and high capacity fiber optic transmission services to firms, businesses,
and institutions.
Background Summary:
Section 20.02.040 of the Auburn City Code requires a franchise for any utility or
telecommunications carrier or operator to use public ways of the City and to provide service
to persons or areas inside or outside of the City.
Zayo Group, LLC has applied for a new franchise agreement to continue to operate their
existing fiber optic telecommunications facilities located in the public ways within the City
limits as their current Franchise agreement has expired. Zayo provides telecommunications
services that include telecommunications capacity and dark fiber, transmission of voice, data,
or other electronic information, non-switched, dedicated and private line services, and high
capacity fiber optic transmission services to firms, businesses, and institutions.
The proposed agreement is consistent with the City’s standard franchise agreement language
and requires that any repairs, upgrades and improvements to the existing facilities are
permitted and managed through the City’s permitting processes. The proposed agreement
would be valid for a term of 15 years.
A staff presentation was given at the June 10, 2024 Study Session discussing draft
Ordinance No. 6942. A Public Hearing to consider this application and hear public comment
was held before the City Council on June 17, 2024, in accordance with Auburn City Code
20.04.040.
Ordinance No. 6942 authorizes Franchise Agreement No FRN22-0003 with Zayo Group, LLC

over the administration of this Agreement. The officers or representatives will meet
within thirty (30) calendar days of either party's request for a meeting, whichever

the City may, at its discretion, provide Franchisee with written notice to cure the
breach within thirty (30) days of notification. If the City determines the breach
cannot be cured within thirty days, the City may specify a longer cure period, and
condition the extension of time on Franchisee’s submittal of a plan to cure the
breach within the specified period, commencement of work within the original thirty
day cure period, and diligent prosecution of the work to completion. If the breach
is not cured within the specified time, or the Franchisee does not comply with the
specified conditions, the City may, at its discretion, either (1) revoke the Franchise

($250.00) per day against the financial guarantee set forth in Section 17 for every

Administrativ e Recommendation:
City Council to adopt Resolution No. 5733.
Background for Motion:
Resolution No. 5733 is the City of Auburn's statement of support for the 2025 Work Plan and
Budget that has been prepared and approved by the South King Housing and Homelessness
Partners (SKHHP) Executive Board. Pursuant to the Interlocal Agreement that each member
City adopted, the Executive Board will transmit the work plan and budget each year for review
by the legislative body of each participating city.
Background Summary:
The South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) was established through an
interlocal agreement between nine South King County cities and King County to work together
and share resources to increase options for South King County residents to access
affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing. SKHHP currently has 12
member jurisdictions. Consistent with the SKHHP Interlocal Agreement, the SKHHP 2025
work plan and budget must be adopted by the SKHHP Executive Board and approved by
each member jurisdiction’s legislative body.
Every year, an annual work plan and budget is developed in collaboration with the SKHHP
Executive Board, Advisory Board, and staff work group to guide the work of SKHHP staff in
the coming year. Pursuant to the SKHHP Interlocal Agreement, each participating jurisdiction
must approve SKHHP’s annual budget and work plan. The 2025 Executive Board
recommended work plan was developed through surveys to the Executive and Advisory
Boards on their priorities in February and an interactive in-person discussion with the
Executive Board in March. The draft 2025 work plan and budget was adopted on April 19,
2024 at the Executive Board’s regularly scheduled meeting.
The 2025 work plan includes four goals with corresponding action items. Each action item is
prioritized as higher, medium, or lower priority. Indicators are included to measure progress
on the goals. The four goals, which are the same as 2024’s goal, include the following:
1. Fund the expansion and preservation of affordable housing
2. Develop policies that expand and preserve affordable housing
Page 38 of 48
3. Serve as an advocate for South King County
4. Manage operations and administration
