ROLL CALL Councilmen Present: Councilman Excused: Councilman Lawler, Kitchell, Craig, Holman, Flechsig and Lea. Councilman Darling. APPROVAL OF MINUTES , \ It was moved by Kitchell, seconded by Holman, that the Council Minutes of September 16, . 1974, be approved as mailed.. II Councilman Lea stated that he had raised a question in regard to the long distance telephone calls that were made, from the Councilmen's Office, under Miscellaneous Business at the last CounciL Meeting. He stated he still has a question in regard to this matter and asked that the Council Minutes reflect the Mayor's answer in regard to when he may again bring up this topic. Mayor Kersey stated that Councilman Lea can bring up this item under his Council Committee Report. Councilman Lea OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIED C\) X ~ ¡~ o o 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. MOTION CARRIED -1- 382 AUBURN, WASHINGTON 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 It was moved by Flechsig, seconded by Holman, that the request of Joe Starkovich to rezone from C-l to C-3 be approved and the Planning Commission recommendations be concurred with and the City Attorney be instructed to draw up the necessary ordinance.

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. -5- 3 BA&URN, WASHINGTON MONDAY OCTOBER 7, 1974 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 was moved by Flechsig, seconded by Craig, that the request of ' Real bon Corporation to rezone from~M~l:~ø C~3 be. referred toCtne_Planning Commission-Mee~inq!'9f~tober 8, 1974+=and~the~ei~y A±torney·~e_instruc~edntoget-with"Mr. Schuler-and'Mr_~Branson~arid âra!f!t: añ oIJdinanae.-infIDrporating ~he- recommendations of the' Planning Commission along with the revised changes presented by Mr. Branson, and have the ordinance - prepared ,aríâ'readlj lfot:opresentati'oniaç 1:15ê. next Council Meeting.

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 motorcycle and its design could present problems in riding off the road, as the frame 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.

Chairman Lea reported on the Committee Meeting and the Minutes are a matter of Public Record, on file in the City Clerk's Office. 1 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. -12- 393 -AUBURN, WASHINGTON MONDAY 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. ~ 00 ~ '~ o j~ 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. DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORTS The City Attorney introduced Gary Kuhar and stated he is a second year student at the University of puget Sound Law School, specializing in Municipal Law. I Councilman Craig asked a question in regard to a possible safety hazard in the vicinity of of old Howard Road, where it runs into Dogwood. He stated the area looks like "the devil" and he would like to know what action the Council took on the matter. Councilman ~ea stated that Council approval was given for a. street vacation i~ the area. Mr. Schuler stated he has talked with Mr. Meade and information should be obtained to bring us up to date.- OLD BUSINESS ORDINANCE NO. 2835 George Schuler pointed out that Ordinance No. 2835 entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, GRANTING A SPECIAL PROPERTY USE PERMIT TO MINE GRAVEL FROM CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY HEREINAFTER DESCRIBED, TO THE STANDARD MINING AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS HEREINAFTER SET FORTH." may have action at the -1 - ;j94 l1UBURN, WASHINGTON MONDAY OCTOBER 7, 1974 next Council Meeting if information is received regarding the Environmental Assessment on same.
