UTILITY CO~MITTEE - C~~2R~Æv SHAUGHNESSY Chairm~~ Shaughnessy turned this over to the Vice-Chairman, Councilman Flechsig, who has been acting as Chair~an in his absence. The Utility Committee met on September 6, 1973, at 7:30 P.M. T:'e proposed LID for sanitary sewers on 8th Street N.E. from Auburn ¡-lay North to ":':." Street N.E. ¡'Ias discussed. The Committee had previously agreed to allocate the necessary funds to replace an undersized water line along 8th Street N.E. ass~~~~g the street will be improved and sanitary sewers installed. It is felt at this ti~ that a sanitary sewer L.I.D. is possible but would be turned dmm due to thE inclusion or a se¡"lage lift station. The Committee agreed to appropriate an amount ~ecessarY to pay for the lirt station assuming the people benefitinq from the inprove~ent will form an L.I.D. for the remainder of the seäer lir.es. The est:~ateà cost of the lirt station is $15,000. The Co~it~ee requests::' the Director of Public Works to have the Finance Department charge tr.e follmÚng =.':reE properties for sani tary se¡.¡ers on M S·treet S.E. because they are ei ther con.-:e::=eà to the sani tary se'rler line or fall >-li thin the ord.inance that beir.; äithin 200 feet of the line. The first location is 2407 M Street S.E., secönd is 1210 25th S=:eet 5.£., and the third location is 1203 28th Street S.E. The CO.7'~71i tr:2e revie:.¡e::' a ¡:;e;rorandum from George Schuler bring.ing to their attent.ion the interest by adja~ent property oäners for a L.I.D. for sanitary sewers on the East side of "I" Str9-'::= :¡.

The Committee reviewed and approved the preliminary design for the beautification project on the Old City Shop property at 6th and Auburn Way South. The design is a low profile, low maintenance type area with lighted welcome sign and flag pole. This location will be considered as a site for a lighted fountain because it is one of the major entrances into the City of Auburn. The staff is obtaining further information on this project.
