V. INFORMATION/DISCUSSION ITEMS
A Utility Tax on Cable
Finance Director Shelley Coleman explained that this was another
revenue resource that is under discussion. Comcast is concerned
with the possibility of a utility tax and it is already paying a franchise
fee. Another possible revenue resource is B & O tax but
implementing it would discourage new businesses. Director
Coleman advised discussion on possible revenue resources would
be continuing for another year.
B. Fire Hydrants
Chair Gene Cerino asked why the City Of Auburn limited the types
of fire hydrants to be used. Assistant Public Works Director Dennis
Selle explained that PW maintains a number of items and tries to
stock repair items for all of them. They try to limit the variety of the
same type items to save the time, space and expense of stocking
many repair parts. They make their choice of product based in part
on durability, functionality, and maintenance records. At this time
PW is using 4 brands of fire hydrants and have plans to reduce that
number to two. Director Selle displayed a parts supply list with
drawing of a fire hydrant to show that at least 45 parts are needed
for repair items. Chair Cerino ask for a copy of the supply list so he
could address a citizen's concern.
C. Golf Course Driving Range
Parks Director Daryl Faber announced that contractor Dave Clark is
doing the preliminary design and soil tests. The soil tests will
determine whether steel or wood posts will be used. He will return
in two months with a final design and costs.
D. Ordinance No. 6088
An Ordinance to modify and update the City's Emergency Services
code provisions and to clearly designate the functionaries.
Emergency Preparedness Manager Sarah Miller advised this would
update the Emergency Services Ordinance. One of the biggest
changes is that since the evolution of the Valley Regional Fire
Authority the Fire Chief is no longer the Emergency Services
Manager, the Police Chief is.
E. Ordinance No. 6089
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Auburn,
Washington, amending Sections 19.04.020 and 19.04.070 of the
Auburn City Code related to transportation impact fees
