MOTION CARRIED
Councilman Lea asked George Schuler why the Planning Commission recommends a Conditional
Use Permit rather than the C-l zoning which was requested. Mr. Schuler pointed out
that the City would have more control over the use of the property if it is approved
for a Conditional Use Permit and if the applicant desires to make any changes he
would have to come back for further approval. Mr. Schuler further explained the
request with the aid of a diagram.
Councilman Holman asked David Reiten if he agrees with the Planning Commission recommenda-
tions. Mr. Reiten said yes and pointed out that the professional office will be used
for counseling and marriage counseling.

FEBRUARY 3, 1975
Mr. John Williams of P. O. Box 308, Bellevue, representing Bocek Brothers, presented
two exhibits to the Council and stated he would be happy to answer any questions that
may arise.
It was moved by Craig, seconded by Kitchell, that the Public Hearing be closed.
MOTION CARRIED
Councilman Craig stated that sometime ago the property had been zoned for a Mobile
t Home Park and he wondered if, at that time, there were any restrictions pertaining
to a storm sewer system. Mr. Williams stated that there is a lift station on the
Ifnorthwest corner of the property and other than that they propose to use either a
dry well or to tie into the comprehensive storm system if it is put in by the City.
Mr. Schuler pointed out that the only condition under the Mobile Park (R-5) zone
was for the applicant to work with the City, in connection with Metro, to acquire a
parcel of land and we are still in discussion with them at this time.
Councilman Darling mentioned the last paragraph of a memo from George Schuler,
Reference No. 75-037, dated January 28, 1975, which reads as follows: "Due to the
lack of storm drainage in the area we suggest that:the developer coordinate the layout
of their project with the Public Works Department to eliminate duplication and thereby
providing a storm sewer system that will be beneficial to the entire area and eliminating
addi tional outfall structures at the river." and asked if this could be a condi tion
of the rezone.

The City Attorney, John B. Bereiter, stated that the City could not legally impose
the above as part of the rezone and he pointed out that the City is trying to alert
the property owner of the problem and have the property owner work along with us
in regard to same. The City Attorney suggested that the property owner acknowledge
the information contained in the paragraph and let us know if he has any objections.
Mr. Williams read the paragraph mentioned above and stated that he did not see
anything wrong wi th the concept and indicated that he was in agreement wi th the same.
I
It was moved by Craig, seconded by Holman, that the request of Bocek Brothers to
rezone from R-5 (Mobile Home Park) to R-4 (Multi-Family Dwellings) be approved
and the Planning Commission recommendations be concurred with and the City Attorney

MOTION CARRIED
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Mr. Robert Gaines, speaking for himself and the Chamber of Commerce, stated he did not
come to the City Council very often to ask them to go to court; however, he is thinking
along those lines now because of the Metro Contract. He pointed out that we have had
this contract for so long and the Audobon Society has had all this time to come before
the Council and he feels it is about time that they should be called upon to come up
with some kind of commitment. He also commented that if the City took this on as a
court proceeding he believes there would be a lot of support and commitment from the
businessmen and he feels the Council should consider this matter.

FEBRUARY 3, 1975
Mr. Ron Dowda, of the A & B Tavern, referred to Ordinance No. 2867 and pointed out that
this proposed ordinance would raise the taxes on card rooms from 5% to 20% of the gross
revenues on card room activities. As one of three legally licensed Card Room Operators,
in the City of Auburn, he stated this tax would make the activity economically
unfeasible and as a result he would not be able to operate and the City would therefore
lose the 5% revenue that it has been receiving during the past six months.
The City Attorney stated that Mr. Dowda had been in to see
to come in and speak to the Council. Mr. Bereiter pointed
iSJdopted, the new tax structure would not go into effect
th 'Council wishes to study this further, a recommendation
r
him and he had asked Mr. Dowda
out that if the ordinance
until April 1; therefore, if
could be made at a later date.
Councilman Craig asked Mr. Dowda to come to the next Public Safety Committee Meeting
on February 12, 1975.
I
Mr. & Mrs. Harold Page asked several questions pertaining to the Metro Sewage Contract
and wanted to know if the Ci ty had seriously looked into treating its own sewage and
....'ondered if it would not be cheaper in the long run to improve our own treatment plant.
ey also questioned the feasibility of selling the sewage to farmers for fertilizer.
~ Nevins, Director of Public Works, stated that our consulting engineers - Hill, Ingman
_'hase did make a study and felt it would not be economically feasible to improve our
.istem because the cost would be about $6,000,000.00. He also pointed out that the
City was virtually forced to sign the Metro Contract, along with the other participating
agencies.
Mayor Kersey stated that the Department of Ecology has stated that we must be a part
of the Metro System and according to the Environmental Protection Agency there will
be a definite problem by.19B3. The Mayor also stated that other agencies have asked
people to take sludge and use it as fertilizer and that has proved to be rather
questionable in regard to its effects on the environment.
The City Attorney pointed out that the Department of Ecology advised the City that
unless we signed the contract with Metro, they would bring a law suit against the
City and they made it quite clear that they want a regional program. Mr. Bereiter
also noted that the City negotiated in excess of six years before signing the contract I
and he feels we have the best possible agreement, with Metro, at this time.

\ Chairman Lea announced that the Street Committee Meeting had been continued to 7:30 P.M.
T February 3, 1975, prior to the Council Meeting. At that time discussion was held on
I the Soil Conservation Agreement and as a matter of public record, no action was taken
by the Committee in regard to accepting or rejecting the agreement.
Councilman Darling stated he had asked a question of the City Attorney, at a prior
Council Meeting, regarding whether or not the City would be financially bound if
we signed the contract. At that time Mr. Bereiter had stated yes and Councilman
Darling asked the City Attorney why he has since changed his opinion.
C\l
r;x:,
t--
The City Attorney stated after discussions with Pat Nevins and George Schuler and after
re-examination of the contract, he does not feel the signing of said contract would
constitute a financial commitment on the City; however, by signing, we would have some
say in regard to action taken under the program. Mr. Bereiter stated he did not want
to invade upon the legislative process, but he feels the City and the citizens would
benefit by passing Resolution No. 655. He pointed out, however, that if the Metro
contract is delayed or defeated he wonders what good a Wetland Agreement would be.

Councilman Lea stated that if the City is not going to be financially bound by signing
the resolution, he feels we would benefit by signing; therefore, we would gain more
information and have some say in the program, rather than being left out on our own.
He also stated that it is his understanding that the County Council could form an
LID for drainage purposes, which would affect the ci tizens of Auburn, and if we are
not participating in the flood control program we would have no say in the matter.
I
Councilman Craig stated he is against the program because it is simply too much of a
program. He admitted we need drainage, but stated he does not feel we need to plan for
the 100 year flood. He also stated he does not feel we should sign the agreement because
we would then be committed and possibly exploited if we disagreed with those in the
program. Councilman Craig voiced concern over improving the City of Auburn and stated
our main priority should be taking care of the one block area in downtown Auburn.
Councilman Craig encouraged the Council not to vote on Resolution No. 655.
Mr. Dave Botting, 905 4th Street N.E., stated that a group of individuals had asked for
a fact sheet informing them of the cost for any assessment on property, under this
program, at a meeting in Renton and the only information received was that the cost would
be between $40 and $80 per acre. He noted that this would be a terri-fic figure over
a twenty year period and he does not feel the citizens could afford any other form
of tax. He agreed with Councilman Craig that we should take care of the City block
area in Auburn and he hoped a new municipal building would come about. Mr. Botting
also discussed various locations in the valley area and pointed out how they are
affected by drainage.
Mr. Howard Wilson, 815 14th Street N.E., stated he agrees with.Councilman Craig and
Mr. Botting and stated he was very concerned over how the citizens would pay for
such a program.
Mr. Rodney Ray, of 1311 6th Place N.E., stated he was totally opposed to the plan.
He stated it is his personal 9pinion that drainage is need for industry, but he feels
they should pay the bill.
I
Mayor Kersey stated he has an obligation to mention what was stated at a meeting in
Renton about one month ago. At that time, a discussion was held with the other
participating agencies and they stated we must make a decision soon or they will go ahead
without our participation and we will be left on our own.
Councilman Lawler stated he thinks the Ci-ty AttGrney once stated "damned if you do
and damned if you don't" and this is true in most cases involving funds and Councilman
~Lawler stated he would rather be "damned if I don't" this time.
Councilman Lea stated there is a lot at stake and he would hate to have the Council
go on record as opposing this program when there is more information to be obtained
and with more study, the Council and City could become more knowledgeable; therefore,
he stated he would not like to have any action taken on this matter tonight and he
urged the Mayor and Council to attend the next meeting pertaining to the Soil
Conservation Program.
Mayor Kersey suggested that this item be referred back to the Committee.

FEBRUARY 3, 1975
Councilman Flechsig stated his primary reason for returning this back to the Committee
would be to use it against King County in asking them to help us in our Metro situation
because the two programs are so closely tied together.
Councilman Holman stated he feels the cost of the program is too great for what has
been offered and he would like to refer this back to the Council, as a whole, rather
than back to Committee.
It was moved by Lea, seconded by Darling, that Resolution No. 655 be referred back

'ould move that Ralph Blakeney be reappointed, for a three year texm,to fill his
xpired term and Earl Clark be appointed to fill the unexpired term, which had

ouncilman Darling stated he had received a call from Mr. Bill Gregory and Mr. Gregory
had expressed a desire to be on the Board of Adjustments. Councilman Darling introduced
Mr. Gregory and asked him to tell the Council a bi t about his background.
Mr. Gregory explained that he is a Realty Specialist for the General Services Administration,
in Auburn, and he works with building codes and rezoning parcels of land. He stated
he would like to work wi th the Council and serve in this capaci ty and be invol ved
in the community. He also pointed out that he feels his training has given him a
definite background for serving this type of position.

of Adjustments. Mayor Kersey had slips of paper passed to all Councilmen and asked
them to list two nominees each. The individual with the most votes will fill the
