PUBLIC HEARINGS
Mayor Kersey read a letter from Clearview TV Cable stating the reasons why they feel
they should not postpone their proposed rate increase.
Mayor Kersey declared Public Hearing open on the proposed rate increase for Clearview
TV Cable.
Mr. William L. Monson, President of Clearview TV Cable, presented information to the
Mayor and Council in regard to the history of the Company and the reasons they feel
a rate increase is necessary.
It was moved by Lea, seconded by Kitchell, that the Public Hearing be closed.
I
MOTION CARRIE:P
Various questions were asked by the Council Members and Mr. Monson gave the following
information. Clearview Cable now has approximately 5,200 accounts, approximately 1,500
subscribers are from the Auburn area, and their firm sti-ll l-oses·approximatelg
$3.00 per month on each subscriber. Mr. Monson pointed out that they are presently
discussing extending their service in their various franchise areas and they hope
to pick up a number of new subscribers - another 2,300 subscribers, from all the
franchise areas involved, would bring their total account number to 7,500 and they
would then hit a breakeven point. Mr. Monson also pointed out that the FCC made
a ruling in 1972 which in effect stated that local cities involved in the franchises
do not really have authority to set rates; however, in March of 1977 all cities will
have authority to set rates or give authority to them to raise their rates. At this
time, this matter was brought before the Mayor and Council for a Public Hearing so
the citizens could give input or make comments on same.
Several brief statements were made by the Council and the City Attorney, John Bereiter,
stated that we are not in conflict with Mr~ Monson. He pointed out that Mr. Monson
is probably correct in stating we have no authority to set rates at this time and he
does not feel action needs to be taken at this time.
Mayor Kersey stated we weuld follow the advice of the City Attorney and do nothing
at this time.
I
Mayor Kersey declared Public Hearing open on Resolution No. 641, to create a local
improvement district for the purpose of repairing or replacing of sidewalk located
on the East side of "D" Street N.W., between West Main Street and 2nd Street N.W.,
within the corporate limits of the City of Auburn.
Alex T. Klouzal of 20910 3rd Avenue South, Seattle and Kathleen Jacobs of 102 "D" Street
N.W. objecte? to the L.I.D. Both individuals stated the sidewalk is in qood condition
and they-feel the L.I.D. is a hardship on the property owners in the area because this
is a low income area.
It was moved by Craig, seconded by Kitchell, that the Public Hearing be closed.

MONDAY
OCTOBER 7, 1974
Pat Nevins was asked to explain the L.I.D. in more detail. Mr. Nevins stated that
the total estimated cost of the project is $1,097.58 and he pointed out that the
entire sidewalk in the area is not being replaced, only those portions that are
dangerous are being repaired.
Mr. Klouzal stated that his estimate is over $1,000 per person. Mr. George Schuler,
Director of Planning & Community Development, read the total lineal footage of sidewalk
being repaired for each individual assessed and the total amount of each assessment
and he pointed out that there is apparently a misunderstanding in the amounts Mrs. Jacobs
a~ Mr. Klouzal believe they are being assessed for. Mrs. Jacobs is being assessed
$46.96 and Mr. Klouzal is being assessed $311.36 for lots II and 12 and $73.05 for
/I
l~ 13. At this point, Mr. Schuler talked to each of these persons individually and
explained their assessments.
I
Pat Nevins pointed out that the primary reason the Council and the City áre involved
in this L.I.D. should be explained by the City Attorney. Mr. Bereiter stated that
the disrepair of the sidewalks is a potential source of liability to the City and to
the property owners. Since several accidents have taken place in the area,' due to the
condition of the sidewalk, the City and the property owners are obligated to have the
sidewalk repaired.
Councilman Craig asked the individuals in the audience, in v~ew of the information
presented to them by George Schuler, if they still feel the assessments are too high.
Mrs. Jacobs and Mr. Klouzal both indicated the assessments are too high and they both
stated that the sidewalk is in good condition. One other woman from the area agreed
with Mrs. Jacobs and Mr. Klouzal.
Councilman Lea stated that the Street Committee had been furnished with pictures of
the sidewalk in questions and there were a number or dips in the sidewalk. After the
Committee studied the recommendations, the Committee asked the Council to introduce
a Resolution L.I.D. to repair the sidewalks. He pointed out this is a new concept
to this Council; however, this procedure has been taken a number of times in the past.
He also stated that ten property owners were notified of the L.I.D. and only three
individuals have shown up to voice opposition to the L.I.D.; therefore, he reads this-
~o mean that the other seven individuals are in favor of the L.I.D.
ouncilman Craig stated there seems to be an honest disagreement in regard to the I
condition of the sidewalk and he would like to see some estimates of the disrepair.
Mr. Schuler stated that he personally walked the area that had been marked off by
the Building Department and there is an off-set in many of the slabs that could cause
a person to trip and fall. Mayor Kersey also stated there are several areas where
pieces of the sidewalk are entirely broken away.
The City Attorney again stated the City has an obligation to see that hazardous
sidewalks are repaired and he pointed out that the City could cause the repair of
the sidewalk and cause the cost of the repair on the property owners without holding
a Public Hearing; however, that would be rather harsh and the Street Committee felt
it would be better to hold a Public Hearing for the citizens.
It was moved by Lea, seconded by Lawler, that Council adopt Resolution 641 and the
City Attorney be directed to prepare the necessary ordinance to create the L.I.D.
to improve a portion of a sidewalk within the corporate limits of the City of Auburn.
ROLL CALL VOTE: Councilman Lea, Lawler, Kitchell and Holman voting YES.
Councilman Craig and Flechsig voting NO.
MOTION CARRIED
Mayor Kersey declared Public Hearing open on the request of Joe Starkovich to rezone
from C-l to C-3 a parcel of land located adjacent to and south of Auburn Way South
between "c" and "D" Streets S.E. (Application No. 9-74)
I
The Planning Commission recommends approval of this request because it does conform
to our Comprehensive Land Use Plan, that when constructed the existing uses were legal,
and to convert the existing building to conforming uses would place a financial
hardship on the owner.
It was moved by Flechsig, seconded by Holman, that the Public Hearing be cl~sed.
MOTION CARRIED

rezone from C-l to C-3 be approved and the Planning Commission recommendations be

MONDAY
Mr. Charles Branson of 321 Evergreen Building, Renton, stated he is representing the
Realbon Corporation. He pointed out that the .Real~on Corporation is a subsidiary
of Allied Stores and he introduced Mr. Seethoff and Mr. Boys. Mr. Branson stated
the property is now zoned M-l and when the property 'was purchased, the firm planned
the area for use as a shopping center. Mr. Branson stated that the surrounding
property owners suppbrt their application. The proposed timing of the project is to
commence filling in 1975, with an opening date between 1978 and 1980. If the Council
is to approve the application, then the following permits and steps must be taken:
first, a hydraulics permit and an environmental impact study will have to be taken.
The fill transfer will be taken from the M-K Development Site and the removal of
that material and its placement on the property will be worked in an overall manner
at the property site. Mr. Branson ~entioned that the map on the wall of the Council
Chambers showed the site and proposed plan. He pointed out that in the end the plan
will include the draft plan as well as the other recommendations listed previously.
In regard to the Environmental Impact Statement, Mr. Branson stated they did not
feel the shopping center would create any impact on the environment and appropriate
controls would help eliminate any such effects. He stated that the shopping center
will give Auburn a facility which it can be proud of and it will help the entire
city; therefore, they urged the Council to approve the application.
Mr. Irvin Iverson of 1232 Andover Park West, Tukwila, stated he has a letter from
Wells B. McCurdy who owns property surrounding the Auburn 400 site. Mr. Iverson
stated that Mr. McCurdy supports the rezone request of Realbon Corporation and he
presented the letter to the Mayor. Mayor Kersey read the letter from Mr. McCurdy.
It was moved by Craig, seconded. by Flechsig, that the Public Hearing be closed.
MOTION CARRIED
It was moved by Flechsig, seconded by Lawler, that the request of Realbon Corporation
to rezone from M-l to C-] be approved and the Planning Commission recommendations
be concurred with and the City Attorney be instructed to draw up the necessary ordinance.
A rather lengthy discussion followed and Councilman Craig voiced concern on the
following: the market analysis report, possible adverse affect on the merchants in
Auburn, how much money the City will have to spend to help put in this facility,
where would the supply of water and sewer facilities come from, and would another fire
station be needed- near the proposed locatjon.
The City Attorney suggested that the following items be made a part of the Council Minutes:
(1) Memo to the Mayor and City Council, Reference No. 74-]74, dated October 3, 1974,
from George A. Schuler, Director of Department of Planning and Community Development;
(2) The letter of recommendation to the City Council from the Planning Commission;
(3) Declaration of Negative Impact prepared by the Planning Director; (4) Responses
to the Declaration of Negative Impact from the following agencies: a. Washington State
Highway Commission, b. United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service,
c. puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency, d. Washington State Department of Game,
e. Washington State Department of Fisheries, f. King County Department of Public
Works Division of Hydraulics, g. Washington State Department of Emergency Services;
(5) Substantial Development Environmental Evaluation Assessment prepared by the
applicant; and (6) Market Analysis prepared by Larry Smith & Company for the applicant,
dated August 29, 1974.
Councilman Lea showed concern over the Environmental Impact Assessments from the
Department of Agriculture and Department of Game. He is interested in the effects
on the wildlife and migratory fish in the area and stated he has learned to rely
heavily on these types of reports and feels they should be considered.
George Schuler stated the City prepared a Declaration of Negative Impact and sent
copies to all recommended agencies. He stated that 17 or 18 questionnaires were sent
out but only eight or nine were returned. He pointed out that a number of items
will be taken care of before any building takes place on the property and the
Environmental Impact Statements will come out before building is begun. He stated
that tonight the City is looking for administrative action and when the proper
time comes, this will be looked at.
The City Attorney stated that he appreciates the fact that Mr. Schuler is talking
from a Planning standpoint; however, he asked that the records show that -~he words
administrative action should indeeC! be changed to legislative action.
Councilman Flechsig stated that the agenda lists a number of provisions pertaining
to the proposed shopping center and he asked Mr. Branson if they are in agreement
with the recommendations. Mr. Branson stated they have reviewed the recommendations
in detail and there are some minor language changes they would like to see made.
Mr. Branson was asked to read the changes to the Council.
Councilmen Flechsig and Lawler asked that the previous motion be withdrawn.

It was moved by Flechsig, seconded by Lea, that the request of Realbon Corporation
to rezone from M-l to C-3 be referred to the Planning Commission for further study
and returned to the Council for their meeting October 21, 1974.
Some discussion followed and the City Attorney stated he did not wish to interfere
with the actions of the Council, but he would advise them that the suggested
modifications, presented by Mr. Branson, were discussed with him and George Schuler
after the last Planning Commission Meeting. Mr. Bereiter stated he did not know if
Mr. Schuler is for or against the changes recommended by Mr. Branson; however, he
feels if this matter is sent back to the Planning Commission it would probably
not come before Council at their next meeting in October.
I
M~ Schuler stated that the Planning Commission could consider these changes at
tneir meeting tomorrow evening, but he feels the changes are really a matter of
housekeeping.
I
Councilman Craig stated the changes are minor in his opinion and it would seem the
City Attorney could be instructed to draft an ordinance, including the recommended
changes, and present it at the next Council Meeting. Councilman Holman agreed with
the suggestion. Several other comments were made and the Mayor asked that if the
recommendations were approved by the Planning Commission, that the previous motion
be reworded.

It is the recommendation of the Chief of Police, L. L. Scyler, that the bid for one
Police Patrol Motrocycle be awarded to Hinshaw's Honda and that the City purchase the
XL250Kl for $956.55 rather than the CB200 at $892.31 because the CB200 is a street

is much lower and its gearing is not suitable for off-the-road use; however, the
XL250Kl is designed to be ridden both on and off the road, has a high ground clearance,
and its design would be more suitable for our purposes.

The Committee discussed the cost estimate to pave the City owned parking lot, north
of City Hall, and requests the lot be paved utilizing Street Division Maintenance Funds.
Councilman Lea stated that several meetings ago, the Committee recommended that black-
topping be placed on the parking lot to the north of City Hall because complaints were
received from residents complaining of a dust problem. He pointed out that the City
has an ordinance that specifically states that blacktop will be placed on all parking
lots in the downtown area. Councilman Lea stated he was made aware that the Mayor did
not sign the purchase order for the blacktopping and he stated he did receive a memo
from the Mayor, dated September 23, 1974, giving his reasons for not signing the purchase
order. One of the reasons given was that a new municipal building may not be located
at the present site and therefore, the cost of the improvement would not be recovered.
Councilman Lea pointed out that at a recent Building Committee Meeting it was determined
that this would be an ideal location. He stated what perturbs him is that under the
Mayor and Council form of government, we are mistreating government if the Mayor can
circumvent action that was recommended by a committee. Councilman Lea also stated that
the Mayor mentioned if there was a problem, the reasonable thing to do would be to
pave G~e south parking lot entrance and require employees using the lot to enter and
leave by the south alley only. Councilman Lea stated that since this is a public alley
he does not see how the employees can be told to drive only one way. He stated the
cost for the paving would be about $1,200 and he feels the City should be a leader
in following city ordinances and he stated that there appears to be a breakdown in
communications and he feels that the legislative processes of the Council may have
been violated.
I
The City Attorney stated_ that the Committee determined that there was a problem and
then they instructed th~ department to resolve the problem and expend city funds to
do so. He stated he had advised the Mayor-that no sub-committee of the Council has
the authority to authorize expenditure of funds without Council action.
Councilman Lea stated the Committee acted in good faith and he asked Pat Nevins if
the expenditure of funds had been approved by the Council. Mr. Nevins stated that
originally the Council authorized expenditures amounting to $50,000 for asphalt paving
at various locations around town and the request was approved; however, he is not sure
if this particular lot was included on the list.

OCTOBER 7, 1974
Councilman Lea stated that at times in the past, the Committees have approved purchases
as long as they had been items included in adopted budgets. It is his opinion that
this allowed staff flexibility.
Mr. Bereiter, the City Attorney, stated he is a little puzzled that Councilman Lea
feels there is a breakdown in the legislative processes. Since we are under the Mayor
and Council form of government, the Council is the legislative body and the Mayor has
the authority to run the day to day operation of the city. The Mayor is the one who
directs the Department Heads in regard to what needs to be done. Mr. Bereiter stated
I he personally feels there is a breakdown of communications and he pointed out that
, a Council sub-committee does not have the authority to order a job done without
r concurrence of four members of Council, at a regular Council Meeting.
I . Councilman Craig stated he understood that when a commi ttee was ready to expend funds
they had to come to Council for approval, since a committee does not even comprise
one half of the Council Members.

Mayor Kersey stated that he did not sign the purchase order because he had some knowledge
that others may not have been aware of. He stated that others have come into the
City in regard to having their alleys paved and stated they felt the City should pay
to have such paving or oiling done in alleys. Therefore, if the City paves the alley
and lot in question.; other individuals or groups will come in and want to have their.
alleys paved. The Mayor pointed out that he does hope a new municipal building
will be located on the present site; however, the above-mentioned reàson-points out
why ;he feels the ordinance should not be followed.
Councilman Lea stated that he would not bring this to Council for a vote tonight; however,
he will take this matter back to the Street Committee for further consideration.
He pointed out that the Mayor's number 1 reason for not authorizing the paving was
because a new city hall may not be located in this vicinity. Councilman Lea pointeq
out that the City will expend $20,000 prior to another vote for a new City Hall;
therefore, he will do his best to see that a new City Hall happens.
Mayor Kersey asked that if this is brought up at the Street Committee Meeting, he
would like to have approval to do something to the entrance into the parking lot
because of the dust problem. Councilman Lea asked the Mayor and Staff to be in
attendance at the next meeting.
I
Councilman Lea announced that the next Street Committee Meeting will be this Wednesday
at 7:30 P.M., in the Public Works Department. He also asked that the regular meeting
scheduled for October 23, 1974, be changed to October 22, 1974, because of the
Association of Washington Cities Meeting.
Councilman Lea stated that at the last Council Meeting he had made reference to not
receiving all of his mail and also he brought up a point regarding the telephone
in the Counci'lman's Office. He stated that he studied the coding on the $32.00 bill
in question and the coding indicated that inòst'of the calls were made during daytime
hours. Since the Mayor has indicated the possibility of removing the phone, he asked
that the bill be studied more thöroughJy to sólve~the~problem withoüt removing the phone.
Mayor Kersey stated that he would like to solve the problem also but he pointed out
that on the Centrex System, the yearly billing for that particular phone is $486 as
compared to $410 for the telephone in his office. Also, the long distance charges
are higher from that telephone, over a sixty day period, than the charges on his
telephone and he is in his office on a full-time basis. The Mayor suggested that
a list be placed in the Council Office to keep track of the long distance phone calls.

The City Clerk read a letter from the Director of Public Works, Pat Nevins, stating
due to change in pay estimate submission date on the two reservoir projects by Steve~s,
Thompson & Runyan, consultants, Estimate No. 4 for Reservoir No.2 in the amount of
$83,504.24 and Estimate No.5 for Reservoir No.1 in the amount of $56,943.81, were
not received until Friday, October 4th, too late to be included on the regular agenda.
Since these pay estimates cover work accomplished for the period August 10th through
September 9th, and since Venture Construction Company submitted these to the consultant
on September 10th, it is recommended that these two pay estimates be included on .
the October 7th agenda. These pay estimates should be the only late submission
due to the new schedule of submission of pay estimates to the consultant.
