The License and Ordinance Committee met at 7:30 P.M. on March 14, 1973. The Cc~'¿ttee
discussed the discrepancies ¡.¡hich related to the taxi service in Auburn and reques ~ei
that a letter be sent to the rtaxi Company about these discrepancies. This letter
¡,..as sent to the Company.
STREET AND ENGINEERING CO,o"IlIITTEE - CHAIRMAN SONNEN/iNN
The Street and Engineering Committee met on March 7, 1973, at 7:30 P.H. "A" Street S.E.
fund_ing and project layout ¡.¡as discussed. Jack NcDaniels requested that the Ci ty
consider the closing of "A" Street S.E., allowing the Contractor to place a solid
fill across "A" Street for the shoofly phase of the operation. He stated the clearance
under the trestle as proposed will not be adequate for certain recreational vehicles
and delivery vej)icles. He further stated that he felt the railroad could not I?erform
thl:Ú r phase of the work in time to allo¡v the Contractor to finish before the fall
h'eather sets in. Marv Seabrands raised a question on' pedestrian access and discussed
the traffic counts in that area and possible detour routes. The recomznendation from
the DiL'ector of.. Public vlorks is that "A" Street remain open to eliminate undue congestion
on Cross Street and Auburn Way South. Councilman Sonnemann stated that the detour
on A Street S.E. has been in effect for one week now and he asked that the City Council
consider this matter tonight because if there is a change in the present plans, then
the City would be required to make a Change Order. Mayor Kersey stated that the
City has received letters from several paop1e reagarding the detour. Jack McDaniels,
representing Burnham Construction, stated that if the road is closed and a detour
is used, the project ¡,.¡Ì11 take approximately nine months to complete; ho¡.¡ever, if
the road is open to traffic during the time the new bridge is going in, the proje¿t
¡.¡ould take approximately 15 months to complete. Mr. l1cDaniel stated that if the citizens
could put up with the inconvience ofa detour for a few months, the end results would
be more gratifying. Also the Contractor's Insurance Company will not cover anyone
involved in an accident if the area is left open for traffic. Karl Willmaser, operator
of Karl's Auburn Gulf Station; Larry Robb, of Larry's A Street Che·.lron Station;
E. A. Bogenstedt, of Eric's Richfield Service Station; and Thomas Hikida, operator
of TO}Je's Drive-Inn, all voiced their objections to the road being closed. All of
these men stated that during the closure of A Street S.E. last week, their business's
did considerably less business and a long time project which would keep the street
c_Losed ror a long period of time could be diastrous to them as' businessmen.
Jos2phine Tamburello, of 1430 A Street S.E., stated that she feels A Street S.E. should
r,-',-¡uin open. She stated that not only is the closure inconvenient, itis a great
traffic hazard - particularly at peak traffic hours. She also stated that those
p'~'cple ¡vho ha'/e to use a detour route would build up many extra miles of dri ving
over a long closure period, therefore, more gasoline ¡,¡ould be required.
Councilman Fiedler stated that there vIas a false fire alarm at the fire station today
t:o see ho;.; ¡'Iell the fire engines could operate in the congested traffic, _in case of
an er.72rgency, and to his surprise the fire engines had no problems and they ¡vent through
chs trafric very easi Iy, Councilman Darling asked that if the road is kept open,
::,')uLln I t the Ci t:y provide improved signing or caution liqhts to alert people going
