CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE A. Public Hearings There were no public hearings scheduled for this evening. 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 Auburn Youth Council for their participation in Uniquely Auburn. 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. Page 8 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. Page 11 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes August 18, 1997 In response to a question from Councilmember Brothers, Ms. Harper advised that the Metro benches are short but include no barriers to prevent people from lying on them.
