B. Audience Participation
1. Terra Kelley, 307 "T" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Kelley advised she has resided in Auburn for
approximately 15 years. As a result of a recent experience,
she realized there was a need to start a recycling pregram at
the apartment complex where she lives. She contacted the
City's Solid Waste Division, and staff were helpful in setting
up a recycling pregram at her apartment complex. At the
same time, she was surprised to learn there is no curbside
recycling pregmm available in the city of Auburn. She
suggested that the City offer a curbside recycling program to
help reduce the amount of waste deposited in landfills. Ms.
Page 2
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August 18. 1997
Kelley acknowledged the City's existing recycling program,
which includes several recycling drop box locations;
however, she believes a curbside recycling program would
be more effective in reducing the amount of recyclables in
the waste stream.
Public Works Director Frank Currie and Solid Waste
Supervisor Dick Sulser responded to Ms. Kelley's
comments. Mr. Sulser explained that when the recycling
program was developed in 1991, staff studied the
demographics of the city and held public meetings to gain
citizen comments. The residents at the time demanded a
recycling program that was self-supporting. Mr. Sulser
advised that the City's current recycling program, which
includes several recycling drop box locations, surpasses all
curbside recycling programs in King County and nearly all
programs in the state of Washington. Currently there are 22
recycling drop box locations in Auburn, and the amount is
expected to increase to 30 locations. Mr. Sulser advised
that to implement a curbside recycling program in Auburn
would cost the residents $6.00 to $7.00 each per month, and
approximately $200,000 in startup costs, Mr. Sulser added
that the City's recycling program also includes co-mingled
recycling for businesses and a curbside yard waste program.
Mr. Sulser advised that the City's recycling program recycled
over 8,000 tons of residential recylcables last year. The City
collected overall 35,000 tons of garbage and 17,000 tons of
commercial recyclables. According to state law, all cities are
required to compile data regarding solid waste disposal and
racycling and report to King County and Washington State
annually. Public Works Director Currie commented
regarding the statistics of other cities. He noted that cities
who offer curbside recycling average their tonnage against
those residents who are participating in the recycling
program, while the City's program counts all residents in
computing statistics and still reports a higher percentage of
recycling. Public Works Director Currie also added that
curbside recycling is available to those residents who want
to pay for the service. The City's solid waste disposal
contractor has agreed to set up a curbside program for
anyone who is willing to pay for the cost. Currently there are
no curbside recycling customers. Mr. Sulser advised that
Page 3
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August 18, 1997
this year, City staff initiated an effort to promote multi-family
dwelling recycling.
2. Amy Duchesneau, 2202 "W' Street SE, Auburn WA
Ms. Duchesneau identified herself as an employee of the
Auburn Parks and Recreation Department. She was
accompanied by Patty Burrell of Children's Home Society.
Ms. Duchesneau advised that she is beginning her second
year as a member of the Auburn Youth Council. Last year
Auburn Youth Council members participated in the Uniquely
Auburn Program to commemorate citizens, assisted with the
Auburn Late Night and After School Programs, participated
in the Peers Educating Peers training, and assisted with
other community programs and activities. This year the
Youth Council plans to promote the establishment of Youth
Councils in other communities. Ms. Duchesneau expressed
her appreciation to the City for continued support of the
Auburn Youth Council.
3. Patty Burrell, Children's Home Society, PO Box 1997,
Auburn WA
Ms. Burrell is a volunteer coordinator for Children's Home
Society. She spoke on behalf of the South King County
Youth Violence Prevention Committee, a community
mobilization project. Ms. Burrell presented the Council with
the Youth Violence Prevention Committee brochure
describing the assets needed for youth for their positive
development. She encouraged the Council to review the
five goals of the President's Summit on America's Future
which closely relate to the assets needed for positive youth
development. Ms. Burrell requested that the City Council
invite her and Amy Duchesneau to a future meeting to
spend more time to discuss their projects.
Councilmember Singer indicated she has attended some
Youth Council meetings and is impressed with their work.
Councilmember Borden complimented members of the

Page 4
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August 18, 1997
Mayor Booth also extended his compliments to members of
the Auburn Youth Council for their efforts and contributions
to the community.
4. Shirley Weable, 2215 "D" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Weable expressed concern with an increasing amount
of noise, violence, guns, and crime in her neighborhood.
She indicated that she and several neighbors created a
neighborhood watch group a year ago; however incidents
causing concern have continued to increase. Ms. Weable
requested guidance for what steps the area homeowners
can follow to help alleviate the incidents which primarily
come from apartment complex residents who live in the
area.
Mayor Booth suggested that a meeting between the area
residents and City officials may be beneficial.
In response to a question from Councilmember Poe, Ms.
Weable clarified that the neighborhood includes 21st, 22nd,
and 23rd Streets SE and "F" Street SE.
Mayor Booth also suggested that the residents participate in
the Mount Baker Neighborhood Program.
Councilmember Brothers encouraged the residents to return
to the Council meetings until their neighborhood problem is
solved.
5. Andrea Reagans, 425 22nd Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Reagans expressed concern with the number of
disturbances and illegal activities which seem to be
occurring in her neighborhood. Ms. Reagans expressed
dissatisfaction with the lack of cooperation and assistance
from the Auburn Police Department in hejping the local
homeowners and renters in abolishing harmful, bothersome
and suspected illegal activities in her neighborhood. Ms.
Reagans expressed frustration that the Police Department
cannot act upon any of the activities unless a police officer
witnesses the illegal activity. Ms. Reagans reported that she
and her husband have video taped several illegal activities,
but the video tape cannot be used by the police. Ms.
Page 5
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August 18, 1997
Reagans also expressed concern with the number of
children on the streets late at night. She indicate she is in
favor of a youth curfew.
Police Chief Dave Purdy explained that generally in order to
take enforcement action, the police officer must witness the
illegal activity or witnesses must come forward willing to sign
a statement and testify in court. Some violations require that
the police officer witness the violation, while other violations
can be prosecuted based on witnesses statements.
Ms. Reagans described a recent incident where several
members of the neighborhood watch group witnessed a
drunk driver and ultimately followed him to a residence.
When a police officer responded, the driver could not be
located. Ms. Reagans questioned whether the police officer
needs to witness driving under the influence or are several
other witnesses to the incident sufficient to make an arrest.
Chief Purdy asked that Ms. Reagans provide him with more
information on the incident so that he can investigate the
matter further.
Prosecuting Attorney Otremsky indicated he is not familiar
with the incident described by Ms, Reagans; however, there
is case law whereby a defense is created when a drunk
driver leaves his or her automobile, is secreted away, and
has an opportunity to drink. He offered to work with the
Chief of Police to review the incident described by Ms.
Reagans. With regard to the Reagans' video tape, Mr.
Otremsky advised there are certain evidence rules which
must be followed to make the tape admissible in court.
Chief Purdy offered to work on refining the residents'
involvement in cases like the one described by Ms.
Reagans. Chief Purdy described the Mount Baker
Neighborhood Program which is used to solicit comments
from the residents and involve them in solving problems in
their own neighborhood. Additionally, the Police Department
has facilitated landlord/tenant training to assist apartment
managers in controlling their apartment complexes.
Page 6
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August 18, 1997
Ms. Reagans requested that an Auburn Police
representative attend their neighborhood crime watch
meetings. She also requested the City post neighborhood
crime watch signs in her neighborhood.
Mayor Booth indicated a police representative will attend Ms.
Reagan's block watch meetings. He also encouraged Ms.
Reagans and her neighbors to involve themselves in the
Mount Baker Neighborhood Program. He suggested that
Ms. Reagans and Ms. Weable contact the Chief of Police to
set up a meeting to discuss neighborhood concerns.
Councilmember Singer requested that the Council receive a
report back on the progress made to alleviate the concerns
expressed by Ms. Weable and Ms. Reagans.
6. Ken Minkler, 607 29th Street SE #A-2, Auburn, WA
Mr. Minkler reported that an abandoned vehicle has been
parked at his residence. He indicated that he reported the
incident to 9-1-1. Mayor Booth requested that Mr. Minkler
discuss the details of the abandoned vehicle with Police
Chief Purdy.
7. Alan Keimig, 216 "A" Street NW, Auburn, WA
Mr. Keimig urged the City Council to consider establishing
an economic development specialist position with the City of
Auburn. He noted that the City of Renton recently
established an Economic Development Specialist position.
8. Dennis Dowdy, City Engineer, City of Auburn
City Engineer Dowdy briefed the City Council on City staff
activities involving the conversion of bus services in South
King County in keeping with Metro's Six Year Plan. Mr.
Dowdy referred to flyers and handouts announcing the
changes in bus service and the conversion of "B" Street NE
to a temporary one-way circulating transit hub. City staff will
participate in pubic informational meetings scheduled for
August 19, 1997 and September 11, 1997 to answer
questions from the public. Metre plans on locating its transit
hub at the new Commuter Rail station which will be built
within the next two to three years on West Main Street. In
the interim, Metro has decided to use the existing transit
Page 7
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August 18, 1997
station at 1st and "B" Street NE as a temporary transit hub,
and staff supports the decision of Metro as the best location
for the interim services. Conversion of "B" Street, from 1 st
Street NE to Main Street, to one-way will be completed this
week. "B" Street will be converted to a one-way circulation
pattern. Six parking spaces will be lost as a result of the "B"
Street NE conversion, reducing the total parking spaces
from 16 to 10 until the transit hub is moved to its permanent
location on West Main Street.
Diana Harper, King County Department of Transportation,
821 Second Avenue, Seattle, WA
In response to a question from Councilmember Cerino, Ms.
Harper advised that Metro staff toured the new bus routes
with City engineering staff. No parking signs will be installed
at places where parking has been legal and more space is
needed to accommodate the Metro busses,. The markings
on the curb indicate where the bus lifts operate. If problems
arise where a bus unable to operate its lift due to blocking
parked vehicles, further no parking restrictions will need to
be installed.
Councilmember Wagner noted the DART service will be
eliminated as a result of the new bus service conversion,
and questioned the demographics of DART riders. Mr.
Harper responded that the typical DART rider is a
homebound and/or elderly person. Metro also learned that
many potential DART riders feel intimidated by the
requirement to reserve a ride two hours in advance. Based
on Metro's experience in Federal Way and Kent, conversion
to a circulator type local shuttle allows more people to use
bus service. Mr. Harper acknowledged that some people
may have difficulty in getting to the bus stop. For those
people who cannot use a regular bus, there is specialized
access service for those persons who qualify for the service.
To qualify for the specialized access service, a person must
be unable to either get to the existing bus stop or use the
bus lift. Ms. Harper noted that the new bus service provides
an additional four hours of bus service in Auburn and
approximately 250% more bus hours in the Auburn
community.

City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August t8. 1997
Mike Skehan, 301 Lund Road, Auburn, WA
Mr. Skehan is one of the area residents who participated on
the South King County Sounding Board for Metro bus
service. He advised there was limited funding to South King
County communities. The City of Auburn will be the
beneficiary of a majority of the funds available for Metro
transit service over the next six years. Mr. Skehan advised
that when the Sounding Board reviewed the demographics
of existing bus service, it was discovered that approximately
50% of the Auburn residents were without basic bus service.
The Sounding Board also discovered that the DART service
was especially intimidating to non-English speaking
residents. Mr. Skehan reported that a group of citizens of
South King County, as well as members of the Chamber of
Commerce, the Auburn Downtown Association, and
community service groups, and former transportation
director for the Auburn School District were instrumental in
securing transit improvements for the Auburn community.
The Sounding Board met over a period of a year and
solicited comments from residents in order to develop a
transit plan. The plan was reviewed and adjusted by King
County Council and King County Transportation staff in
concert with Mayor Booth and other City staff.
Ms. Harper announced that Saturday, September 20, 1997
is the first Saturday service day and Sunday, September 21,
1997 is the first Sunday service day. Ms. Harper invited City
officials to the downtown transit hub on Monday, September
22, 1997, which is the first Monday service, to observe the
transit riders who are experiencing the new service. Ms.
Harper encouraged promotion of the new bus service
through City mailings and announcements.
Bea Sanders, Associate Planner, City of Auburn
Associate Planner Sanders discussed the efforts made by
City staff, Metro, Chamber of Commerce representatives,
and Auburn Downtown Association members to formulate a
process for involving the public in the conversion of Metro
bus service in Auburn. The Chamber and Downtown
Association focused on transmitting information on the bus
service conversion to their members, and the City
disseminated information city-wide. The City also contacted
Page 9
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August 18. 1997
each business within a one block radius of the temporary
transit hub and provided them with the same handouts
presented to the Council this evening. Ms. Sanders advised
that one of the property owners on "B" Street NE, Mr. Wayne
Heisserman, has expressed concern with the number of
parking spaces that will be lost as a result of converting "B"
Street to a one-way circulation. Ms. Sanders presented
drawings of two alternative designs for "B" Street NE. The
first design includes two-way traffic on "B" Street NE
between East Main Street and 1st Street NE with parallel
parking on the east side of "B" Street and three van stalls on
the west side. The design provides for seven parking
spaces plus the van stalls. The second design includes
one-way traffic from 1st Street to Main Street with angle
parking on the east of "B" Street and three van stalls on the
west side of "B" Street. The second design is the plan that
will be implemented. It provides for 10 angle parking spaces
on the east side of "B" Street NE and three van stalls on the
west of "B" Street. Ms. Sanders also advised that three
spaces will be lost on 1st Street NE adjacent to Wells Fargo
Bank.
In response to a question from Councilmember Borden, Ms.
Harper advised that all Metro busses and vans will be
wheelchair accessible.
Councilmember Cerino questioned whether Metro planned
to install any restroom facilities at the temporary transit hub.
Ms. Harper explained that it is Metro's policy to not provide
public facilities unless there is a full-time attendant or service
provider at the facility to provide supervision. Ms. Harper
advised that in some areas Metro has made arrangements
with other public agencies for use of their adjacent facilities,
but the facilities must be supervised full-time.
Alan Keimig, 216 "A" Street NW, Auburn, WA
Mr. Keimig advised that he already has a design for a
proposed service facility at 1st Street NE and "B" Street.
Councilmember Singer expressed concern with residents'
acceptance of "B" Street NE as a one-way street.
Page 10
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August 18. 1997
City Engineer Dowdy explained that with less funds spent on
the interim transit hub, more Metro transit funds would be
available for the permanent transit hub on West Main Street.
Mayor Booth added that the location of the temporary transit
hub at 1st Street NE and "B" Street NE will keep the
customer base in the downtown area.
Associate Planner Sanders reviewed the number of parking
spaces lost on "B' Street NE between 1st Street and East
Main. The preferred design results in a net loss of six
spaces.
Councilmember Cerino questioned whether the "B" Street
parking lot is marked in a manner to provide the greatest
number of parking spaces. He suggested that all the
parking spaces lost on "B" Street NE could be gained by
remarking the "B" Street parking lot.
Mr. Alan Keimig indicated he has a plan to recon~gure the
"B" Street parking lot to allow for more parking spaces. He
also spoke regarding his suggestion for a public concession
facility located at the "B" Street plaza. He compared his
suggestion to Tacoma Metropolitan Park Department
facilities where the Park Department constructs the restroom
and concession area and receives revenue from the
concession operation. Mr. Keimig indicated his proposal
and reconfiguration of the parking lot would provide more
parking spaces than currently exist. Mayor Booth suggested
City staff review Mr. Keimig's proposal.
Associate Planner Bea Sanders added that Metro busses
will arrive within a few minutes of each other to
accommodate timed transfers.
In response to a question from Mayor Booth, Ms. Harper
advised that since Auburn will be designated as a hub,
Transit Police will regularly patrol the transit area. Transit
Police are uniformed police from other agencies who work
for Metro on a part-time basis.
