City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes September 2,
2003
A. Public Hearings
1. 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,

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.

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.
