INFORMATION/DISCUSSION ITEMS
Comcast Report from the new Government Relations Coordinator

Mr. Davis distributed an informational sheet providing a numerical
snapshot of Auburn. He recapped the 2003 accomplishments of
Comcast. He reviewed the 2004 expectations, including the launching
of Video on Demand on June 19th, Digital Video Recorders, and
parental controls. Community involvement includes Comcast Care Day
scheduled for October.
B. Hazard Mitigation Plan
Jamie Gravelle of Emergency Services Coordinating Agency distributed
a draft copy of mitigation plans for the City of Auburn. It included a
profile of Auburn and identified potential hazards. She explained that
the first Mitigation Plan should be simple and would need to be updated
yearly, at which time it could be expanded. She encouraged the
Committee to review the draft and make suggestions. The purpose of
this exercise is to retain funding by FEMA in case of a disaster. It was
proposed to have a final Resolution on the June 7, 2004 agenda. The
draft will be reviewed by the Planning Committee and Development
Committee next week.
C. Motorized Scooters
City Attorney Dan Heid distributed copies of two draft ordinances for the
operation of motorized scooters. One related just to the scooters, the
other was a helmet law for both bikes and scooter. The scooter
ordinance would restrict usage in some areas and prohibit use in other
areas such as the downtown business area. Chair Cerino expressed
concern for the safety of scooter riders. Member Peloza favored the
Wenatchee ordinance that requires a helmet and lights and that the
operators are at least 16 years of age. Mike Smith, owner of Auburn
Sport and Marine, encouraged the enforcement of the state law. The
state law gives permission to cities to regulate the operation of scooters
within the boundaries of their jurisdiction. Copies of ordinances from
other municipalities have been obtained and will be distributed to all
Council for revue before the next meeting.
