Audience Participation 1. Jack Laush. Building Chairman for American Legion Post 78. 707 Auburn Way South. Auburn. W A Mr. Laush said he is very concerned with the pollution problem under the American Legion Hall. Mr. Laush said he believes the American Legion membership should have been notified much sooner than they were about the pollution and potential problems. Mr. Laush advised the American Legion has hired an environmental lawyer to represent them. Mr. Laush also advised the American Legion is holding a meeting on November 15, 1994 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Legion hall to discuss the matter with state Department of Ecology representatives. Mr. Laush stated the Legion's correspondence to Cenex has not been answered. Mr. Laush reported an incident approximately two weeks ago when the fuel smell was so bad he didn't want to open the door to the hall. Mr. Laush thanked the City's utility engineering staff for their past and future cooperation and assistance in resolving the fuel contamination problem. Mr. Laush urged the Mayor and Council to attend the November 15, 1994 meeting at the Legion hall. Councilmember Haugen asked Acting City Attorney Reynolds if Councilmembers' attendance at the American Legion meeting would violate the appearance of fairness doctrine. Acting City Attorney Reynolds advised Councilmembers may attend the meeting. Acting City Attorney Reynolds also advised he anticipates the Washington Department of Ecology will have an enforcement order in place tomorrow morning requiring Cenex to perform certain monitoring, cleanup, and other remedial actions. 2. Tom Vallencour. 31628 - 122nd Avenue S.E.. Auburn. WA Mr. Vallencour urged the City Council to join the American Legion and all other veterans organizations in assisting the state of Washington to become the 38th State to vote to ratify the Constitution to protect the American flag. 3. Jonathan Davenport. 7212 194th Avenue East. Bonney Lake. W A Mr. Davenport introduced himself as the Past Commander of the American Legion Post in Auburn and an environmental geologist. Mr. Davenport stated he has conducted some research, with the help of Mr. Dwight AUBURN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES November 7, 1994 Page No. 5 Holobaugh, into the discovery of the fuel contamination in the area of Cenex, the American Legion Hall, and the Firehouse Square property. Mr. Davenport said he discovered the following: In 1987 underground storage tanks were removed from Firehouse Square at which time the Department of Ecology issued an order for monitoring ground water and subsurface soils to include Phase 2 investigation. However, the water level was so low in the area, monitoring was not possible. In 1989 water levels at Firehouse Square were sufficient to sample and contamination levels were found to be higher than anything encountered during the removal of the underground storage tanks in 1987, which indicated another contamination source. This finding was immediately reported by the environmental officials for Firehouse Square property owners. Mr. Davenport expressed concern with the increased contamination levels in the area of the Firehouse Square property and the length of time that has elapsed since the initial contamination detection. Mr. Davenport also stated he is concerned that if investigation reports were submitted to the City, it was not acted upon; and if it was not done, it was not followed up on by the City. Mr. Davenport stated the American Legion Hall property is now a liability as contamination cleanup needs to be done before the property can be sold. Mr. Davenport commended Utility Engineer Holobaugh's cooperation with the surrounding property owners in assisting the American Legion members in obtaining access to information. Mr. Davenport said in April or May, there was a documented release which was reported, and after meeting with Cenex in August, Cenex failed to provide the American Legion members with requested information. Mr. Davenport stated the individual property owners of the American Legion Hall are actively pursuing options to obtain an equitable response from those who have created the situation. Mr. Davenport requested that he be on record with the City as the professional representative for the American Legion Hall in this matter, and all documentation received by the City regarding this matter be made available to the American Legion members and other property owners involved. Councilmember Haugen requested Public Works Director Currie provide her with another copy of the letter in which the City first received notification of the contamination incident. 4. Virginia Moses. 114 M Street S.E.. Auburn. W A Ms. Moses expressed concern regarding the additional traffic on M Street S.E. as a result of the Auburn Way South closure and drivers' failure to stop for school buses which are loading and unloading students on M Street. Ms. Moses stated Ellen DeCook operates a day care at 119 M Street S.E., and school buses stop at her address. Ms. Moses reported that AUBURN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES November 7,1994 Page NO.6 approximately two weeks ago a school bus driver asked Ms. DeCook to call the Police Department and request a police officer during pickup and delivery time. Ms. Moses stated a police officer has not been seen since that time nor has Ms. DeCook been contacted. C. Correspondence F2.4.9 LID 346, LID 348 1.
