CONSENT
Consultation Agreement with W & H Pacific - This item will be brought back to the next
meeting.
Ordinance 5730 - Parking Lots - Paul Krauss brought a display of the downtown area, on
which city parking lots were clearly marked. It is proposed that the parking lots to the east of the
court and police department be dedicated to public parking (three-hour). The lot behind Mel's
lumber will be for permit parking (city employees), as will the lot behind Gustaves Manor. The
gravel/fenced parking lot across the street from the post office will be designated primarily for
city-owned vehicles, with a few permit parking spaces. Moved to pass, seconded, and approved
recommending ordinance be accepted by council.
INFORMATION/DISCUSSION:
Auburn Municipal Airport, Facility Maintenance - Brenda Heineman introduced Mark
Ellingson, who is the Interim Airport Manager. He distributed a handout which listed the items
he has found in disrepair. He also distributed a packet of photographs as further illustration. The
airport fund is essentially empty. Mayor Lewis, Paul Krauss, and Shelley Coleman all discussed
dedicating interest from the insurance fund to making the repairs needed to keep the airport
viable and avoid liability issues. The committee also spoke to developing a comprehensive
maintenance program for the facility. The FAA will contribute 90% of the funds needed to
repair the cracks in the runway; however, at the present time the 10% needed for the city's
contribution is in question.
