Page City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes October 2, 1995 b) Presentation of 1995 Revenues & 1996 Preliminary Bud,qet F3.10 Finance Director Victor Thompson gave a brief presentation on 1995 revenues and the 1996 Preliminary Budget. Finance Director Thompson stated the official Preliminary 1996 Budget will be published at the end of October, and made the following comments with regard to 1995 revenues and the Preliminary 1996 Budget: The 1995 General Fund revenues are expected to be ahead of the budgeted amount. The Preliminary 1996 Budget will include an overall increase in General Fund revenues of six percent (6%), and the first property taxes from the Supermall will be received in 1996. Finance Director Thompson compared the 1995 General Fund revenues to the amounts included in the Preliminary 1996 Budget. An increase of approximately six percent (6%) is expected in property tax. The Preliminary 1996 Budget includes an increase in sales tax revenue to $9.5 million compared to $8.7 million budgeted in 1995. The increase is due to increased sales anticipated at the Supermall. Sales tax revenues will also be negatively affected by the manufacturing equipment exemption enacted by the state legislature this year. An increase in the category of other taxes, which include utility, admission, and gambling taxes, to $4.3 million is expected, which includes revenue as a result of the State compact with the Muckleshoot Casino for provision of non-tribal services. Licenses and Permits revenue will decrease in 1996 because the amount of permits issued in 1996 is anticipated to be lower than in 1994 and 1995 when the permits for the mall and the racetrack were issued. The Intergovernmental Revenue, which includes state shared revenues such as motor vehicle excise tax and liquor tax, is expected to be lower. The revenues received from the motor vehicle excise tax will decrease as a result of the new State funding for public health services. Finance Director Thompson Page 2 City of Auburn Council Meetin,q Minutes October 2, 1995 explained in the past the City of Auburn paid King County for public health services; effective January 1, 1996, the State will use a portion of the motor vehicle excise tax to fund public health services which will result in a decrease of approximately $200,000 to $300,000 in the City's share of the motor vehicle excise tax. Finance Director Thompson stated he expects little change in the General Fund revenues in the categories of Services, Fines, Fuel Tax, and other miscellaneous revenues. In response to a question from Councilmember Kurle, Finance Director Thompson stated a $700,000 to $800,000 decrease in sales tax on manufacturing equipment is included in the Preliminary 1996 Budget projection. Councilmember Kurle requested the City Council receive a copy of Finance Director Thompson's presentation. Councilmember Brothers questioned the decreases in fines and fuel tax revenues. Finance Director Thompson explained the 1995 revenues in the categories of fines and fuel tax are behind the 1995 Budget amounts, and these revenues seem to have decreased over the years. Finance Director Thompson presented the Preliminary 1996 Budget expenditures and made the following comments: The Preliminary 1996 Budget General Fund expenditures are $24.859 million, a 5.5% increase compared to the 1995 Budget. The increase allows for approximately 3-1/2% inflation and continuation of the program improvements approved during 1995. The 1995 Fund Balance will be $1.865 million and the 1996 Estimated Fund Balance will be $2.2 million at the baseline level. The Preliminary 1996 Budget will include $460,000 in preliminary program improvements that will be recommended with the condition they be approved upon verification of the sales tax revenue from the Supermall and the level of the sales tax revenue Page 3 CitY of Auburn Council Meetin;! Minutes October 2, 1995 received in early 1996. Finance Director Thompson stated the General Fund balance represents cash or 30-day receivables and no longer includes reserves for capital equipment and other nonliquid assets such as the City's equity interest in Valley Comm. In response to Councilmember Brothers' question, Finance Director Thompson stated the proposed program improvements include the development of a concurrency management system, the addition of a person in the Planning Department, an additional clerk in the Court, an increase in the municipal court judge hours, video arraignment equipment, additional Police Department staffing to keep the department open 24 hours a day, additional jail staffing, additional fire fighters to staff the third fire station, a Senior Center Clerk, and a parks registration system. Finance Director Thompson presented information on the others funds of the Preliminary 1996 Budget, and made the following comments in that regard: There are no significant issues or changes in the Construction, Reserve, Insurance, Pension Trust, Cemetery, and Equipment Rental Funds. The General Fund will contribute to the Arterial Street Fund and approximately $150,000 will be withdrawn from the Cemetery Fund to complete a new addition. The Water and Sewer Funds are under serious financial pressure. The revenues are very close to the 1993 levels, while costs have increased significantly, and the Engineering Department has many projects for the water and sewer systems they believe should be undertaken. Finance Director Thompson stated the proposal to sell water to other districts will provide additional revenue which will spread the fixed costs over a wider base, but will require some capital spending. The Water Fund includes a $3.5 million bond issue to support infrastructure to sell water and other necessary projects; however, the cash flow in the water utility is not sufficient to support a bond issue, and an increase in water rates will be recommended. A rate Page 4 City of Auburn Council Meetin~l Minutes October 2, 1995 increase is not proposed for the sewer utility, but the working capital will sink to $1 million in the Sewer Fund. The City hopes to receive a substantial payment from Metro for acquisition of sewer lines. The Storm Water Fund generates $1.2 to $1.5 million income per year, and the only question is whether to borrow to undertake projects faster or to pay for projects when sufficient funds are available through the normal budgeting process. The Solid Waste Fund is stable and has approximately $1 million in working capital. The Cemetery and Golf Course Funds are financially stable, and both have major construction projects in progress. The Airport has $300,000 in working capital, but the hangar roofs need urgent repair and the fuel system needs modernization. Appointments There were no appointments for consideration. A.qenda Modifications Agenda modifications include revised Public Works Committee minutes dated September 25, 1995 transmitted under Item III.C of these minutes, correspondence to Mr. Fredrick Brannan dated September 29, 1995 from Paul Krauss that includes the Findings and Decision of the Hearing Examiner for the City of Auburn issued on September 29, 1995 transmitted under Item VI.A of these minutes, correspondence to Stephen F.

Mr. Brownell stated he has been attempting to obtain rubbish removal at the site. Mr. Brownell reported he made a $250.00 deposit with the City of Auburn for a dumpster to be provided by RST Disposal. Mr. Brownell stated RST has advised him that they cannot assure a date that the dumpster will be provided to his job site. Mr. Brownell stated that RST Disposal promised to get back to him today, but that did not occur. Mr. Brownell stated he is forced to cancel carpenters to work tomorrow because RST Disposal failed to contact him. Mr. Brownell stated he has worked in other states and has never had another company tell him that they don't know when they can provide a dumpster. Mr. Brownell suggested the City sublet a dumpster from another municipality or rubbish company so that he can get a dumpster at his job site. Public Works Director Currie offered to provide Mr. Brownell with the name and address of a staff person with the City who coordinates the work with RST, and who can help him. Mary Farden, 2005 "M" Street SE, Auburn, WA 98002 Ms. Farden presented a handout for the record. Ms. Farden stated that about 10 months ago she asked the Mayor and City Council about a police evidence auction. Ms. Farden stated she was told an auction is held every year. Ms. Farden stated that according to the paperwork she has received, the last auction was held August 22, 1993. Ms. Farden stated that the procedure for sale of unclaimed police property is authorized by the Chief of Police. Ms. Farden requested she be advised of when the auction will be held as there is a candy machine she would like to bid on. Mayor Booth stated he would obtain the information, and provide it to Ms. Farden. Mayor Booth requested Chief Purdy review the procedure. Page 6 City of Aubum Council Meetin.q Minutes October 2, 1995 Steven Po,qacsas, 1231 37th Street SE, Auburn, WA 98002 Mr. Pogacsas stated he attended the last City Council meeting and expressed concern about the residence known as the Taylor House located at 1301 37th Street SE, which he described as a half-way house. Mr. Pogacsas asked what has been done to ensure the operator has obtained the proper permits to operate the business. Mr. Pogacsas stated tenants of the property are moving out within the next few days, and he stated he is concerned with what type of tenants will be moving into the facility. City Attorney Reynolds stated staff met with the landlord. City Attorney Reynolds stated the facility is a triplex, and the owner operates the building as a sole proprietorship. City Attorney Reynolds stated the owner leases the facility to a 501(C)(3) organization which subleases the triplex units to people coming out of drug and alcohol rehabilitation. City Attorney Reynolds stated the tenants must meet certain standards which includes that they must be clean and sober at the time of entering the establishment. City Attorney Reynolds stated the tenants are tenants as in any other tenancy arrangement and are additionally protected under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. Mr. Pogacsas stated he has an additional concern with illegal repairing of sewage pipes on the premises. Mr. Pogacsas stated he reported the illegal repairs to the City several times, but no one from the City has come to check on the repairs. Mr. Pogacsas stated he reported his concerns to the Health Department, and their representative came out and found that the owner has raw sewage in the back yard of the property. According to Mr. Pogacsas, the King County Health Department is sending the owner a notice to hook up to the City sewer. Mr. Pogacsas questioned why the City has not responded to his request for an investigation of his concerns. Councilmember Brothers asked if the City can limit the number of tenants in the units. City Attorney Reynolds stated it is a landlord/tenancy arrangement, and there is no restriction on the number of people who can reside in an apartment. Page 7 City of Auburn Council Meetin¢~ Minutes October 2, 1995 Councilmember Haugen stated she visited the address in question after the last City Council meeting. Councilmember Haugen stated the property is an attractive nuisance, and hopes the City of Auburn will address the nuisance. Mr. Pogacsas asked if the owner had a permit to convert the single family dwelling into a triplex. Mayor Booth stated the dwelling was converted several years ago. City Attorney Reynolds stated the triplex is a grandfathered nonconforming use. Councilmember Brothers asked the definition of an "attractive nuisance". City Attorney Reynolds explained an attractive nuisance is a hazard and by the virtue of its condition attracts people to it. City Attorney Reynolds stated the best example of an attractive nuisance is a swimming pool. Diana Po.qacsas, 1231 37th Street SE, Auburn, WA 98002 Ms. Pogacsas stated she operates a day care center in her home at 1231 37th Street SE. Ms. Pogacsas stated she has had her day care license since March of this year. She stated the parents of the children she cares for have a concern with the activities at the address next door, and she has lost a lot of her business because of it. She asked what recourse she can take. Planning and Community Development Director Krauss stated the use at 1301 37th Street SE is a legally permissible use. Steven Po,qacsas, 1231 37th Street SE, Auburn, WA 98002 Mr. Pogacsas requested a copy of the City laws. Mayor Booth advised the records are available at the City Clerk's Office, and he may contact the City Clerk for assistance. Councilmember Kurle stated that although the use is a permitted use, he expressed concern with the conduct and actions of the tenants. Councilmember Kurle predicted that Mr. Pogacsas may have the same problems with the new tenants of the Taylor House that he has experienced the tenants recently evicted from the Taylor House. Page 8 City of Auburn council Meetinq Minutes October 2, 1996 Mr. Pogacsas stated the new tenants at the Taylor House have created considerable late night traffic. Planning and Community Development Director Krauss stated the City can address noise complaints and illegal construction. Councilmember Wagner asked if the City has penalties for violations of codes such as inoperative septic systems. Public Works Director Currie stated he does not believe there are any fines the City can levy, but there is a requirement that if a property's septic system fails and it is within 600 feet of the sanitary sewer system, the property owner must connect to the public sewer. Public Works Director Currie stated that when King County Health performs an inspection, they typically notify the City. Mr. Currie stated he has no personal knowledge that the City has received notification from the Health Department. Mr. Pogacsas advised that a representative from King County Health inspected the Taylor House sewer in early September 1995. Public Works Director Currie stated he would follow-up with matter immediately. Councilmember Wagner requested Public Works Director Currie include on the agenda for the Public Works Committee two meetings from now a discussion of the methods the City has for enforcing codes. Councilmember Barber urged the City to do something to help the Pogacsas's. Councilmember Brothers asked for the name of the sponsor of the 501(C)(3) organization. Mr. Pogacsas stated it is called Hope Recovery Centers. Mr. Pogacsas added that the sponsor is the owner of the building. Councilmember Brothers asked if the City's nuisance ordinance would address any of the problems identified by Mr. Pogacsas. City Attorney Reynolds stated the sewer problem may be addressed as a nuisance. Councilmember Borden asked if the nonprofit organization is acting only as a landlord and is not providing supervision or any other services. City Attorney Reynolds stated it appears that the operator is not providing any supervision. City Page 9 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes October 2, t99S II1. Attorney Reynolds added that the landlord has indicated that under the 501(C)(3) operating arrangement, the landlord can use an expedited eviction process for problem tenants. City Attorney Reynolds stated he is not familiar with the existence of an expedited eviction process. Mayor Booth stated staff will follow-up on the issues identified by Mr. Pogacsas, and asked Mr. Pogacsas to continue to keep in contact with Planning and Community Development Director Krauss.
