Dan Bosch expressed concern for fire hazard over the upcoming holiday because of dry
conditions.
Fred Poe said he had spoken with Sharon Conroy about the current status of the solid
waste contract. He said that she and representatives from Waste Management will be
at the next meeting to present the entire contract. He asked that this contract package
be available by Wednesday prior to the next meeting. He also mentioned that there will
be discussion on early recycling. Shelley Coleman asked for direction from the
committee on what rate information they would like to see prior to the first meeting in
August.
Dennis Dowdy brought the committee up to date on the status of the Corp of Engineers
projects, as it pertains to Auburn and the other 13 jurisdictions now planning for the
Preliminary Engineering & Design (PED) phase of the Corp's project. He and the Mayor
will be attending the Forum meeting on July 18th, where jurisdictions will be indicating
their willingness to participate so that King County, as the lead entity, can enter into the
PED agreement with the Corps. King County is seeking assurance from the other
WRIA 9 jurisdictions that Auburn will pro-rata cost share in a similar manner as it is cost
sharing development of the WRIA 9 recovery plan. Auburn's cost share, if all 14 parties
participate, would be approximately $17-$18K each year for a three-year period, 2002-
2004, with only a $3K cost share in 2001, if agreement is reached before the federal
fiscal year ends September 30th. If it appears that agreement can be reached with the
parties, than an interlocal agreement would be drafted for the Council's consideration
before the Mayor will indicate Auburn's participation. The committee enumerated the
following conditions that would need to be understood if Auburn participates:
1) Auburn's participation is contingent on a majority of the partners going forward.
2) Auburn's participation in the design phase does not in any way commit the city to the
construction phase without a separate agreement. 3) Auburn prefers to use the same
pro-rata cost share formula that is being used for development of the WRIA 9
conservation plan.
Adjournment
Chairperson Fred Poe adjourned the meeting at 6:20 p.m.
Next regular meeting is Monday, July 16, 2001, at 5:00 PM in Meeting Room 3.
