Chair Sue Singer distributed a departmental goal spreadsheet and asked the directors to give a status on the goals at the next meeting. CONSENT: Resolution No. 3521, Agreement and Easement with River Rim, LLC, for Storm Outfall and Related Facilities: Client submitted 3 changes in original agreement. They were: 1) The right to repair before City uses security funds; 2) A definite ending date for City required Security of $25,000; and 3) City to have the right to enter upon the property for inspection. Since the runoff from the Benefited Property runs off onto the north end of the golf course, there was a concern for potential damage. It is located too far north to be a problem. King County will take ownership and control of the storm water facilities when they are finished as well and the drainage line all the way to the city property line. Collateral for indemnification will include an insurance policy and cash deposit guaranty and a recorded No Protest LID agreement. Councilmember Wagner inquired if the LID expires within 10 years. City Attorney Held responded that the agreement will not expire unless released by the City. MSC Local Law Enforcement Block Grant: Municipal Services Committee will recommend the City Council hold a public hearing on Resolution 3520. MSC Municipal Services Committee will recommend the City Council approve Resolution 3520. MSC In response to the inquiry of how the LLEB grant amount was established, it is predicated on the Uniform Crime Reports submitted to the Municipal Services Meeting September 3, 2002 Page 1 FBI. Violent crimes for the previous 3 year time period are tallied and money is distributed proportionately according the number of crimes. Resolution 3523, Approval of Referendum 5'1: This referendum would provide the revenue for new road reconstruction. MSC information on the process used to establish the grant amount. MSC INFORMATION/DISCUSSION Review 6 year project lists prepared by Departments: The first and largest expenditure is for the new Public Safety building which will include the court, police and jail. The square footage of the building has not yet been determined. The $15,000,000 price tag was questioned as to being large enough. It was less than determined previously because the jail would be built in 100 bed increments instead of all at once. There are jail issues that might affect the size of the jail such as a regional facility being built. The acquisition of property from GSA is now back on track. It was suggested a firing range be added to the Capital Facility Plan. The Fire department will be relocating Station #33 which will require a land purchase. Station #31 will also be relocated, present site sold and purchase land in the north end of Auburn. The $200,000 for the City Hall Plaza Restoration is an estimate only. The Fire Apparatus Replace-ment Funds will be used to replace the ladder truck, aid car and pumper. When these items are replaced the Fire department will put that line item into their budget. Police Chief Kelly was asked about a proposed program, Investing in Youth, which obtains money from cities to use for juvenile crime prevention programs. The program claims the cities would save money by having a reduced rate of crime. Chief Kelly felt that the savings would not be measurable. A recent report on curbside recycling showed that 96% of single-family units were participating. However, the rate for multi-family units is very Iow. Sharon Conroy will address this issue at the next meeting. Higher water rates and irate customers were raised for discussion. Some customers had bills that had doubled, tripled and even worse. Meter reading process at multi-family units has become a concern. Paul Krauss will bring the Airport Master Plan to the next meeting for review by the committee.
