II. A. 2. Final Assessment Roll on LID 335 (Continued)
Ross Hanson, Auburn Precious Metals owner, 295
E. Main Street, who spoke against the rezone stated
Auburn is short of parking and the rezone puts a
burden on an owner with a parking lot. Hanson
pointed out that he has sufficient parking, and
that the City has offered him free parking to
allow for additional needed space if he was to
build. Hanson said the majority of his business
was conducted out of state and local patrons are
within a 2 mile radius. Hanson stated the
majority of the parking lot to be built would be
used by Penneys, and his business would benefit
the least. The rezone included people who
should be excluded and vice versa. The store
around the corner uses his parking lot and he
felt he was assessed unfairly. Hanson posted a
sign against the rezone, and has received
numerous responses. He mentioned there was an
agreement between Fidelity Mutual and the City
when he purchased the building. Hanson has a
pending law suit with the City, but he would
rather settle out of court by having the LID
reclassified and redone. He recommended that he
be reassessed.
Gene Kasper, downtown business owner, stated Hanson
had not attended any meetings held for public opinion
and had not given any input on LID 335. Kasper felt
adequate notice was given Hanson.
MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Walters to close the
public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
Kurle questioned the agreement. Dugan responded
that he was unaware of any agreement.
MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Walters to adopt the
Final Assessment Roll for LID 335 and to instruct
the City Attorney to prepare the necessary ordi-
nance confirming the Final Assessment Roll.
Kurle voted no. MOTION CARRIED

kids in October. Osborn said there is a need for
it, and Auburn Youth Resources would like to base
the shelter in Auburn to offer counseling and
resolve problems for those in need. He expressed
how the agency would do a good job because of the
expertise available. Long term results would be
children not turning out to be criminals. Also, a
counseling program for teenaged parents is being
initiated. For those parents desiring to keep
their child the agency would like to offer them
counseling for their talents on parenthood. The
funding would include continuation of a class for
sexually abused females. The class reached its
enrollment capacity within the first two weeks of
its initial enrollment.
Dick Brugger of 1528 22nd Street N.E., Director
of Auburn Youth Resources, requested a 78
increase in allocation over last year. He
stated past funding had enabled the agency to
eliminate their waiting list, and the new
facility has brought even more clients. He said
funding would help to continue training and
update skills for counselors which is essential
for quality service. Brugger noted during the
first six months 888 of the clients had been fami-
lies residing in Auburn. Brugger closed with
saying he appreciated what the City had done.
c. Coalition with Impairment and Disabilities
' Sara McVay, 2626 Alpine Place S.E., repre-
senting CIID spoke of how CIID was the product
of progressive activities and growth. It is an
agency to help with needs of disabled people.
She stated that out of 35 million disabled
people in the country, Washington alone had
400,000. McVay indicated there is a need in
South King County and CIID would like it to be
Auburn based. She expressed her appreciation
for the Council in considering their request.
Susan Morgan, 2626 Alpine Place S.E., spoke of
the necessity for a full time effort. The
agency had been approached by the City of
Renton to have their services offered to Renton.
Morgan indicated the agency was new and is
requesting $14,000, 208 of their total budget. A
similar request was being asked of Kent and Renton
since the majority of the population were in those
areas. Morgan also noted the agency was able to
help Fire Chief Johnson by acting as a liaison for
a disabled person. The Council was also made
aware of the agency now having a telephone number.

Sharon Atkin, Executive Director of DAWN, stated
the agency provided services in South King

Atkin reported some of their volunteers are
clients who initally had called the hotline. She
felt education is the key to ending violence, and
stated DAWN had talks at high schools, had done
training, worked with the criminal justice
systems, and had helped people make a choice for
a violence-free life. Atkin asked for assistance
to be able to meet their demands. Atkin informed
the Council on Tuesday, October 8 a candlelight
vigil will be held, and a flyer was passed out to
the Council.
e. South King County Rape Relief
Gal Stringer, South King County Rape Relief,
expressed appreciation for the City's past sup-
port. Stringer reported 9% of the victims ser-
viced were from Auburn out of a total of 2,500
serviced. The need continued and, they felt, had
stabilized in Auburn, although there had been a
rise in sexual assaults in the County. Stringer
said the 24-Hour Crisis Line provided interven-
tion, hospital and legal system accompaniment,
and long-term emotional support. The agency felt
prevention education was necessary to stop the
cycle of sexual assaults. Public education in com-
munity, school, and church programs; and small
community block watches have been provided by the
agency. Allocation for a maintenance funding in
the amount of $4,500 was requested.
f. South King County Multi-Service Center

million facility which included the Senior
Center, library, and museum. The 9,200 sq.

Wisner informed the Council the committee reviewed Metro
contract on Auburn Special.
Colburn recommended approval of Deferred Compensation as
listed in Section VI B. An oral report from Federal
Savings & Loan stated that the $800,000 plus earnings are
safe and the City should in due course receive it some-
time this week on its maturity. The only loss the City
would have is the higher interest rate the investment
would have been earning.
Kurle questioned if the Deferred Compensation Plan would
be opened to all City employees. Pat Dugan responded
yes, in existence is one deferred plan, this is a second
plan which is a national plan that participants can take
with them if they move. The plan has no investment or
management contracts.
