B. Resolutions
1. Resolution No. 3743
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
recognizing Matricula Consular as valid identification for Mexican
citizens
This item was pulled from the City Council Agenda.
A discussion on the subject ensued. Chair Cerino expressed concern
that this card would be the first step for an illegal alien to obtain a
driver's license. Police Chief Kelly commented that illegal aliens are
currently obtaining fraudulent licenses, however, the purpose of the card
is to allow Mexican citizens greater access to social services. Local
banks are promoting the card and individuals cannot open a bank
account without this 10 card.
Committee members expressed concerns about personal liability issues
and agreed they needed to gather more information before they could
make a recommendation.

V. INFORMATION/DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Curbside Recycling Single-Stream Proposal
Solid Waste Supervisor Sharon Conroy explained the single-stream
recycling concept that basically allows co-mingling all recyclables into
one container. Presently, Auburn has a 2-step system with a cart for
fibers and a bin for tin, aluminum and glass. Recycle drivers sort the
materials into two containers on the truck. Ms. Conroy explained that
Waste Management is proposing this change in the middle of the life of
the present contract and that they have requested time at the next
meeting to make a presentation.
Committee members concurred that it would be beneficial to hear
additional information.
B. Sex Offenders
Member Peloza inquired about notices that Councilmembers received
last week notifying the public about sex offenders residing in Auburn
and inquired if this information was on the City's webpage. Police Chief
Kelly responded that Councilmembers have always been notified as a
courtesy and verified that there is currently a link on the website that
connects the public to the notices.
C. Fireworks
The Committee expressed their gratitude for the successful fireworks
emphasis, education and enforcement by our Fire and Police
Department this year.
