Moratorium Extension 03.4.2.1.2 Resolution No. 3436, adopted March 4, 2002, established an initial one-year moratorium on the filing with the City or the Courts of any applications for licenses, permits and approvals for sexually oriented businesses. The City Council extended the moratorium an additional six months on March 3, 2003, with the adoption of Resolution No. 3569. On August 18, 2003, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3633 extending the moratorium for an additional six months and set today's date for public hearing on the proposed moratorium extension. City Attorney Heid presented the staff report for the moratorium extension. Mr. Heid reported that the Planning Commission continues its work on strategies for an ordinance regulating sexually oriented businesses and will be holding its own public hearing on the proposed ordinance and zoning regulations. The moratorium extension is permitted under state law to prevent the status quo from changing during the pendency of the investigation and ultimate adoption of an ordinance regulating sexually oriented businesses. Mayor Lewis opened the public hearing. Mary Ellen Nakata, 4806 Mill Pond Loop, Auburn, WA, 98092 Ms. Nakata spoke in favor of the moratorium extension and urged the Council to implement a permanent moratorium if possible. Frank Rice, 1811 F Street SE, Auburn, WA, 98002 Mr. Rice spoke in favor of the moratorium extension. He also recommended the Council ensure that the public is given the maximum opportunity to express their opinion on the issue. He urged the Council to implement the maximum controls possible regarding sexually oriented businesses.

The title of Resolution No. 3634 is found under Item VIII.B.1 of these minutes. 2. 2004-2009 Six Year Transportation Improvement Program 04.9.3 State law requires the City of Auburn to annually prepare and adopt a comprehensive transportation improvement program for each ensuing six calendar years. Prior to adoption of a six year transportation program a public hearing is held to review the work accomplished under each Six Year Transportation Improvement Program for the purpose of determining current city street needs, and to adopt a revised and extended comprehensive transportation improvement program. Transportation Planner Joe Welsh presented the staff report for the 2004-2009 Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP provides a financially constrained schedule of transportation improvements for a six-year period, which is updated annually. Mr. Welsh pointed out new projects on the TIP. One new road capacity project on the list is project number 29, which provides for the construction of an additional turn lane on 8th Street NE at the intersection with Harvey Road. Three new non -motorized projects included in the TIP are: project number 43, the Kersey Way Trail loop; project number 44, C Street SW (3rd Street SW to 15th Street SW) to allow a connection from the Sound Transit Center to 15th Street SW bike trail; and project number 45, the A Street SE from the Sound Transit Center to the White River undercrossing. Mr. Welsh reviewed the changes from last year's TIP. Project number 13's project margins have been extended to include 3rd Street NW to 14th Street NW. Project number 18, Page 3 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes September 2, 2003 C Street SW Ellingson Road to 15" Street SW will dovetail with the Safeway project on C Street SW to provide additional capacity on C Street SW from 15th Street SW to 41s' Street SW. Project number 47, SR 167 widening, which is a state funded project, has seen significant increases in costs and scope. Project number 49, the SR 164 bypass, project alignment has changed. Mr. Welsh explained that the TIP is designed to include major and annual projects found in the Council's visioning process. Resources for implementation of the TIP include grant resources and City revenues. However, City revenue assumptions include no support from the General Fund, complete loss of the local vehicle license fees, a slight increase in the motor vehicle fuel tax, no increase in the real estate excise tax, a small increase in transportation impact fee revenues, and a $2 million Public Works Trust Fund loan beginning in 2005. In response to a question from Councilmember Singer regarding potential funding, Mr. Welsh responded that the possibility of a favorable public vote to fund TIP projects could be included as a funding source within the TIP. Councilmember Brothers inquired regarding the revenue source to repay the proposed $2 million Public Works Trust Fund loan. Finance Director Coleman responded that repayment would likely come from impact fees or unrestricted gas taxes. Mayor Lewis opened the public hearing on the Six Year TIP. No one in the audience requested to speak regarding the TIP; therefore, Mayor Lewis closed the public hearing. See Item VIII.B.2 of these minutes for further action on the Transportation Improvement Program. B. Audience Participation This is the place on the agenda where the public is invited to speak to the City Council on any issue.
