Morrisette called attention to the notice received with regard to the Regional
Justice Center. Mr. Morrisette referred to the Chamber of Commerce
response to the draft Environmental Impact Statement. He said the
Chamber's position on the Regional Justice Center is that they feel the
preferred site for the Regional Justice Center is located north of 15th Street
N.E. due to the availability of land, accessibility for other King County
residents, and more importantly, the positive economic impact it would have
on Auburn. Mr. Morrisette finalized his comments by stating the business
community welcomes the Regional Justice Center in Auburn.

March 16, 1992
Don Lisko - 25 16th Street N.E., Auburn, WA
Don Lisko introduced himself as Chairman of the Chamber Committee
working on a response to the Regional Justice Center draft Environmental
Impact Statement. Mr. Lisko discussed the approach and impression so far
received from King County with regard to locating this facility in Auburn,
and he urged the Council to express their support to the County in the sense
that it is the most economical site for the County. He said Auburn needs to
consider how we can attract corporations to locate their headquarters in
Auburn. Mr. Lisko considered the administration's handling of other
proposed development in Auburn in comparison with the Regional Justice
Center which would have more of an economic benefit to Auburn due to off
shoot industries and commercial development around the center.
Mr. Lisko finalized his comments by submitting Certificates of Support
signed by individual citizens from King County, mostly from Auburn, and
business owners in support of the Regional Justice Center being located in
Auburn, and urged the Council to consider the wide base support that this
project has.
Wavne Heisserman - 20 B Street N.E., Auburn, WA
Mr. Heisserman is president of the Auburn Chamber of Commerce and a
resident of the city of Auburn. Mr. Heisserman strongly encouraged support
of Resolution No. 2301. The Chamber of Commerce has taken a strong and
active position in researching the opportunity to have a regional justice
center located in Auburn to better serve the people who have a need for the
facility.
Ed Howard - 1706 33rd Street S.E., Auburn, W A
Ed Howard is a resident of the city of Auburn. Mr. Howard expressed
concern of locating the Regional Justice Center in Auburn due to the
criminal element of people that would be required to visit and patronize
Auburn. He said the Regional Justice Center is a good name for courts and
jails. Mr. Howard felt locating the Regional Justice Center in Kent would
better serve the people of South King County.
Cyril Van Selus - 20 Riverview Drive S.E., Auburn, WA
Mr. Van Selus stated he was born and raised in Wenatchee where a Regional
Justice Center has been in operation for many years. Mr. Van Selus does not
recall any incident or problems created by the regional justice center. He
also referred to his business location in Bellingham where a Regional Justice
Center exists without problems. He said both cities have enjoyed economic
benefits from the Regional Justice Center, and it has also provided good
service to the citizens of the community.
Mike Weekly - 809 11 th Street N.E., Auburn, W A
Mr. Weekly opposes locating the Regional Justice Center in Auburn. He
questioned the economic benefits the new development would have. Mr.
Weekly cited from the draft Environmental Impact Statement that locating
the Regional Justice Center in Auburn would have moderate potential for
leading new development. Therefore, there is no major impact predicted by
the County. Mr. Weekly expressed concern of a tax exempt County facility
locating in Auburn where accessibility, health costs, employment, and
PAGE 4
CITY OF AUBURN COUNCIL MEETING
March 16, 1992
housing will become a concern of the city as well as the quality of life. He
said any economic gain would be offset by traffic, taxes, and the
degradation of our city.
Tim Edwards -
Tim Edwards favors locating the Regional Justice Center in South King
County. He stated regardless of the fears, the Regional Justice Center is a
function of government that South King County residents have been
disinfranchised with. He said he is talking about of the civil aspects of law
that this community needs. Currently one-half million resident live in the
South King County area, and only one Superior Court judge lives in this
area. He contradicted concerns raised with regard to health care and police
protection in and around the Center. Health care would be handled
internally, and police security would be enhanced due to officers serving the
courts. Mr. Edwards said what we see near the Courthouse in Seattle is a
result of a courthouse being located in a metropolitian area. Mr. Edwards
finalized his comments by encouraging the Council to support locating the
Regional Justice Center in Auburn.
Henry Higley - 812 12th Street N.E., Auburn, WA
Mr. Higley stated he does not feel Auburn wants the Regional Justice Center
because he does not want the criminal element here.
Pam Maury-Weekly
Ms. Weekly stated she does not want the Regional Justice Center located in
Auburn. She felt if it was a rehabilitation center she might feel differently.
Ms. Weekly expressed concern of the location of the schools and the
interaction the children of the community would have with the criminal
element that the Regional Justice Center would attract. She finalized her
comments by stating the Regional Justice Center would be located on a
wetland.
Arlis Holman - 11603 S.E. 322nd Street, Auburn, W A
Ms. Holman is excited about the prospect of the Center being located in
Auburn. She felt there would be good economic benefits, and educationally
would benefit the kids and the people of Auburn.
Mayor Roegner requested Council consideration of Resolution No. 2301
which endorses the siting of the King County Regional Justice Center within
the City of Auburn.
Under discussion, some of the Councilmembers were reluctant to endorse the
Regional Justice Center in Auburn because they felt they had not received
enough information with regard to the County's position based on the
information provided so far. Concerns centered around policy issues with
regard to negotiations with King County, the City's response to the draft
Environmental Impact Statement, and the perception Auburn is giving to
King County in whether or not Auburn wants the Regional Justice Center
located in Auburn. Lobbying efforts made by staff members from the Cities
of Kent and SeaTac raised concerns among some of the Councilmembers.
PAGE 5
CITY OF AUBURN COUNCIL MEETING
March 16, 1992
Steve Lancaster responded to the concerns raised by the Council. He said
the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was issued and staff
responded appropriately. When staff discussions with the County are
complete, the information will be presented to all elected officials when
available. At that time staff would review the EIS, and if Auburn is the
selected site, a public hearing would be scheduled. Mr. Lancaster also
pointed out when the site is selected, the Council would have an opportunity
to discuss this proposal under a Conditional Use Permit process.
Councilmembers Whittall and Kurle asserted a desire to conduct a public
hearing with regard to the Regional Justice Center in order to obtain further
information from staff. They argued that if Auburn does not express a
desire now to locate the Regional Justice Center in Auburn, that we may
never have an opportunity to express our comments under a Conditional Use
Permit because the County will have chosen a location other than Auburn.
Councilmember Burns felt it was not appropriate to hold public hearing at
this time, and summarized the main issues of the staff's response to the EIS.
He mentioned that the draft EIS indicates there are significant traffic issues
on 15th Street N.W., Auburn Way North, and Highway 167, an issue
concerning what the economic benefit is to the Auburn community, and
what the effect the Regional Justice Center is going to have on public safety.
Councilmember Burns urged the Council to proceed with the process and
hearing.
Motion by Councilmember Whittall, second by Councilmember Kurle to
continue tonight's meeting to tomorrrow night at 5:30 p.m. in order to
receive further information with regard to the Regional Justice Center.
MOTION CARRIED. 4-3 with Councilmembers Burns, Barber, and
