ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
Ordinance No. 2849 entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, AMENDING
SECTION (6) OF AUBURN CODIFIED CITY ORDINANCE 9.22.200 TO ELIMINATE THE TWO-HOUR
PARKING LIMITATION UPON CERTAIN PORTIONS OF SECOND STREET SOUTHEAST BETWEEN "A" STREET
AND AUBURN WAY SOUTH.
Alice Hogg and Dave Botting, who had previously asked permission to speak when this
ordinance was brought up, voiced-opposition to the ordinance.__Mrs. Hogg stated she
has a business on Second Street S.E. and she is concerned that parking will not be
available for her customers, if this ordinance is passed, because persons shopping
in the downtown area would use the parking spaces. She also pointed out that the
other businesses in the area of Second Street S.E. could be affected also. Mr. Botting
stated that he owns the property located at the corner of "A" and Second Street S.E.
and pointed out that the Boy Scouts have used that lot for selling Christmas Trees
over the years and he does not feel the parking on Second Street S.E. should be
used or available ôn an-ãll day basis for individuals who are not shopping in the
central business district.
Councilman Lea explained that the ordinance came about because the Chamber of Commerce
and other individuals had approached the City in regard to helping eliminate parking
problems on Main Street, especially with the Christmas Season coming up. He explained
that the ordinance would provide for an additional 18 parking spaces that could be
used by patrons of the downtown area on a long term basis. Councilman Lea went on
to explain that the Committee has discussed Mrs. Hogg's problem and discussed the
possibility of setting aside two or three parking spaces for,her èustomersi' however,
at this time the Committee does not feel the changes created by Ordinance No. 2849
would create that much of a-problem and the Committee feels we should go ahead as
- plftnned and the ordinance can be amended if neçessary.
I
Councilman Darling stated he feels the ordinance should be adopted at least on a
trial basis and changes could be made at a later time if it does not work out.
Councilman Flechsig pointed out that there are too many questions tonight and he
feels the ordinance should be referred back to the Street Committee.
It was moved by Holman, seconded by Craig, that Ordinance No. 2849 be referred back
to the Street Committee for further consideration.

RESOLUTION NO. 655
Resolution No. 655 entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR AND THE CITY CLERK OF THE CITY OF: AUBURN, WASHINGTON, TO ENTER INTO AN
AGREEMENT DATED JUNE 3, 1974, WITH THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SOIL
CONSERVATION SERVICE, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREINAFTER SET FORTH IN
THIS RESOLUTION."
Mayor Kersey stated that prior to action on this resolution, Mr. Wannamaker of the
, King County Department of Public Works would like to make a presentation.
,
If
M~. wannama~er explained that the program provides for a valley-wide flood control program
w~th the Un~ted States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service. The amendments
to this would call for the purchase of 110 acres of wetlands to be purchased jointly by all
agencies participating in the program. He pointed out that the City of Auburn is the only
agency who has not taken steps to sign the agreement, to date. He also stated that the
Federal Government would not provide any funds until everyone in the jurisdiction of the
drainage area is oonsistent with puget Sound Governmental Conference Land Use Plan. He
pointed out that the City originally approved this plan in 1965 and the Soil Conservation
Service is now asking for modifications to include the wetlands. He stated that theJCing
County Conservation District has asked that a moratorium be placed on land filling until a
comprehensive land use plan goes into effect. He stated that PSGC is not opposed to the
plan or need for drainage or flood control; however, they are concerned with the way:~e
development is "hopscotching around."

Q
,-
'~
Mayor Kersey stated that signing the agreement would result in the City of Auburn,
and other agencies involved in the contributing flood plan zone, sharing the cost of
the program. This would also mean that citizens would share the cost and estimates
of the cost are set as follows at this time: those living in the valley would be
charged between $62-$85 per year per acre of land and those living in the contributing
area (west of l28th and north of highway 18, including the hills) would be charged
between $20-$28 per year per acre of land. The Mayor pointed ou~ that this program
looked somewhat different in 1965 and was less expensive. He also noted that the
City has held three open meetings in regard to this program and very few citizens
from the Auburn area attended the meetings.
I
Mr. Rodney Ray, of 1311 6th Place N.E., said he was concerned with safeguarding
argriculture in the valley.
Mr. Frank Shaughnessy, 1414 lOth Street N.E., stated he is concerned that the agreement
would be binding to the City of Auburn and the City would again lose its autonomy. He
feels this,type of action should be taken on a local level; however, he stated he
does understand the fact that the only way the City can afford a flood control plan
is to do it on the federal level.
Mr. Robert Gaines, 336 Park Avenue, stated he has trouble adjusting to the drainage
program because it is set up on a 100 year plan and he stated he also understands that
building will be held back in the area if the City does not go along with the plan.
He stated that the City had the same type of frustrations when this was discussed in
.1965 and he pointed out that there was a bond issue at that time and it was voted
down by the citizens.
Mr. Bruce McMichael, Radio KASY, stated he has editorialized against this plan because
the objective is total elimination of the soil in the area and industry in the valley
floor. He stated it represents another form of government being taken over by a
bureaucracy and he is totally opposed to this.
Eugene Ray, Route 1, stated his main objection is the taxation and he feels taxation
should be reduced, not increased. He stated that many people cannot afford to pay
for this type of a program. He also pointed out that the City got along fine, even
before the flood control dams were built and he suggests that we need to save all of
our farm land for agriculture, not industry.
I
Councilman Craig spoke in opposition to the resolution and stated the citizens do not
need to be "saddled" with any other taxes, especially when he is not sure we need
this program. He noted this seems to be getting the City involved in another "rash
of bureaucracies". and he encouraged· others not to vote for the resolution. He also
stated he has a number of other questions and feels the City should look further into
this program and· try to get something the tax payers can afford.
Councilman Darling questioned the statement regarding possibility that building will
be held back if we do accept the resolution and wondered if this would include both
residential and commercial building in Auburn. He stated he feels there are to many
questions and believes the City is entitled to answers from the State and Federal
Government before we enter into this resolution. He also said he would like to
see a copy of the resolution adopted in 1965.

AUBURN, WASHINGTON
MONDAY
NOVEMBER 4, 1974
Mr. George Schuler, Director of Planning & Community Development, stated there is a chance,
under the Flood Insurance Act, that if we do not take care of provisions in handling the
100 year program, we could have problems with construction and building in the valley
floor. He stated that a halt to building could be placed on any construction tied in
with Federal Funds or Federal Insurance. Mr. Schuler pointed out that we have pretty
well covered the land use plan with wording in the agreement that incorporates the
compromise agreement with puget Sound Governmental Conference. He also mentioned he has
been working on the Flood Control Plan since it went into existence and he does not feel
"Big Brother is breathing down our necks". He pointed out that the-Flood Insurance
Plfgram is required under federal law and we will have this program regardless of how
we feel about it. He stated he is concerned with the future growth of Auburn and does
no!: want to see the City "Build ,a fence around ourselves".
Councilman Holman stated that some years ago, we were talking about using Federal
Revenue Sharing for this program and the City cautioned at that time that we could get
into trouble once this type of program was started.
I
Councilman Flechsig stated he is concerned that a moratorium is being put on this
and he wondered if that prevails, would we need flood insurance. He also pointed out
that King County already has the authority to do what they feel is right, regardless
of how the Ci ty votes.
Councilman Lea stated he feels this resolution is appropriate to bring before the
Council since we have held public hearings for citizen input. He stated he is
concerned because if we do not take steps to enter the program, the other participating
agencies to the north could submit this program and ask that Auburn be eliminated
from the overall plan. He pointed out if that should happen, federal funds would be
given to the other cities but Auburn would have to go its own route and this concerns
him in regard to future development in Auburn. He stated that he wonders if everyone
is aware of how serious this item is and stated he does not want to see the resolution
go back to the committee unless we can get input from the citizens of Auburn.
Councilman Lawler stated he would like to see something in writing from our staff
regarding this program, before a final decision is made. He feels our staff is obligated
to provide the Council with more detailed information.
Mr. Dave Botting, 905 4th Street N.E., stated he is very concerned because the I
community is not aware of the impact of the program and how it will affect their budgets.
He questioned whether the Council had the moral right to authorize this resolution.
It was moved by Holman, seconded by Craig, that Resolution No. 655 be referred back
to the Street Committee for further review and recommendatiohs.
MOTION CARRIED
Mayor Kersey asked Mr. Wannamaker if he would mail information to the City explaining
the program in more detail.
Mr. Shaughnessy stated he would be happy to get together with the appropriate committee
and discuss this matter further.
Mr. Wannamaker asked if the Mayor could give him some specific information in regard
to what type of information the Mayor would like to receive. He also suggested that
Mr. George Herron of HUD Office and Mr. Earl Taylor of Fireman's Fund be contacted in
regard to further information or presentations to the City in regard to the Flood
Control Plan.
Mayor Kersey stated that the Street Committee would come up with some questions and
suggestions regarding information needed and Mr. Wannamaker would be informed.
