ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
Ordinance No. 5821
F2.4.9 LID 250
An Ordinance of the City of Auburn, Washington, ordering the
improvement of public parking facilities all in accordance with
Resolution No. 3672 of the City Council; establishing Local
Improvement District No. 250 and providing that payment for the
improvement be made in part by special assessments upon the
property in the District, payable by the mode of "payment by
bonds"; and providing for the issuance and sale of local
improvement district warrants redeemable in cash or other short-
term financing and local improvement district bonds
Finance Director Coleman presented Ordinance No. 5821. Later
tonight the City Council will conduct a public hearing on the
formation of the local improvement district (LID) and consider
Ordinance No. 5821 establishing the LID.
LID 250 consists of 85 parking stalls located at the transit garage
for the David Allen Davis project located at A Street and West
Main. The City entered into an agreement with Sound Transit to
lease 180 parking stalls at the Transit Garage and have exclusive
use of those stalls over a 99 year period. The intent was to sell the
parking stalls to downtown developers who would otherwise be
limited due to lack of available parking in the area.
Director Coleman briefly reviewed a calendar and timeline for the
LID process.
Mr. Steve DiJulio, of the law firm Foster, Pepper and Shefelman
and special counsel for the City Council, was also in attendance to
answer any questions on the LID process. He explained that later
this evening, the City Council would conduct a public hearing on
the formation of the LID. The LID is established by the adoption of
an ordinance (Ordinance No. 5821). Mr. DiJulio explained that the
timeline for this LID is compressed because the improvement is
already constructed and the costs identified.
Vice Chair Norman questioned how long the LID participant would
have access to the parking stalls. Mr. DiJulio stated the parking

stalls provided specially benefits the property, and the property has
a right to the stalls for 99 years.
Member Thordarson questioned whether expanded hours for the
parking garage would increase the City's costs for security. Mayor
Lewis responded that the City is in favor of expanded hours and
more utilization of the garage.
In response to questions from Chair Backus, Finance Director
Coleman advised that the 85 parking stalls in question would be
located on one floor of the garage.
Chair Backus questioned the difference in the costs associated
with the initial 120 parking stalls and the 60 parking stalls
purchased by the City as identified on Exhibit A of Finance Director
Coleman's certification of costs and expense of improvement.
Finance Director Coleman stated the City initially purchased 120
parking stalls. Sound Transit later offered 60 additional parking
stalls for $360,000, which the Council approved.
Vice Chair Norman moved and Member Thordarson seconded to
forward Ordinance No. 5821 to the full Council.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 3-0.
