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. ~} OC, 1"'- /-... " - -. - '-- 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 be instructed to draw up the necessary ordinance. Also, Mr. Schuler's memo (Reference No. 75-037, dated January 28, 1975) shall be a matter of Public Record. ROLL CALL VOTE: All Councilmen voting YES.

Shephard (Application No. 3-75) and the Conditional Use Permit Application from Kurtis R. and Pamela R. Mayer (Application No. 4-75) be referred to the Planning Commission for recommendations. I 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. -2- 436 AUBURN, WASHINGTON MONDAY 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.

MOTION CARRIED , \ 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. :-- .,' C; C 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. -6- 44.0 AUBURN, WASHINGTON MONDAY 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 t~ the Council, as a whole, for further review. \ r MOTION CARRIED I Chairman Lea announced that the next Street Committee Meeting will be held at 7:30 P.M. on February 5, 1975. NEW BUSINESS Councilman Craig stated there ,are two vacancies on the Board of Adjustments and he '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 een filled by Jay Wood. 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. Councilman Darling asked that nominations be held to fill the two terms on the Board 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 three year term and the individuitlwi th second highest votes will fill the unexpired I term.
