V. INFORMATION/DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Golf Course Clubhouse Update
Parks & Recreation Director Daryl Faber gave an update and reported on
the Auburn Golf Course Clubhouse project. He reported that the
Clubhouse Committee would meet on April 21, 2005, at the Auburn Golf
Course, to review the financial report for building a new clubhouse. He
explained that parking is planned for a 180, a restaurant with seating for
100 and an ancillary banquet room.
Director Faber also distributed the potential budget for the driving range,
which is estimated to be $350,000. The driving range would help
increase income with lessons, sales and tournaments. Residential
neighborhood reaction to the structure was discussed. Chair Cerino
volunteered to drive to the adjoining neighborhood and see how much of
the net and poles would be visible to homeowners. Member Wagner
asked if the clubhouse project and the driving range project could be
separated and Director Faber stated that he would discuss the possibility
with the Finance Director and his Committee.
B. Auburn City Code Chapter 5.90 - Condominium Conversion
During a recent audit of this chapter in the Auburn City Code, research
has failed to show why it was written and approved at that time.
Whatever the reason, it has not served the purpose. This chapter has
been on record for over 30 years having been approved in the early
1980's. Vice Chair Peloza recommended to repeal the Chapter as it
was not being used. By consensus the rest of the committee agreed.
Attorney Heid was directed to prepare an Ordinance to repeal Auburn
City Code Chapter 5.90 and submit it at the next meeting.
C. School Zone Speed Limits
City Attorney Dan Heid presented the options he forwarded to Judge
Burns. However, he reported that he has not received a response from
the Judge yet.
Vice Chair Peloza recommended adopting Option E. The language in
Option E was discussed and suggestions were made for clarification. The
Committee members recommended the following changes: the
description "school children" will be changed to "children and the 10-mph
speed limit will include a reference to the correct RCW.
