B. Audience Participation
Lee McDaniel, 623 1st Avenue East, Pacific
Mr. McDaniel spoke on behalf of his sister, Marilyn, who was the
victim of a vicious dog attack. Mr. McDaniel requested an update
on the investigation of the incident and also on staged dogfights.
Deputy Chief Jim Kelly offered to make an appointment with Mr.
McDaniel to discuss the matter.
Mr. McDaniel expressed concern with a recent policy change of the
Parks and Recreation Department to curtail door-to-door pickups of
Special Population Program participants.
Parks and Recreation Director Dick Deal responded that a letter
was sent out to participants in the Special Populations Program.
Some participants have access to Metro Access service and
should be using that means of transportation. The Parks and
Recreation Department has provided training sessions to assist
participants in learning that life skill. Washington Cities Insurance
Authority has recommended against door-to-door pick up.
Designated pick up points for activities are still provided to
participants. The Parks Department is trying to do a better job in
scheduling activities around the Metro Access bus schedule. Car-
pooling is also encouraged.
Mr. McDaniel expressed his displeasure regarding the matter of
transportation. He stated that the payment policy is also going to
create problems for the Special Population participants as most are
on a fixed income.
Mr. Deal responded that there is a scholarship program and a fee
waiver program that has been in place for years.
Councilmember Borden requested that the Park Departments
policy on transportation be referred to the Planning and Community
Development Committee on January 11, 1999.
Page 4
' City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes December 21, 1998
Laura Moore, 15028 Military Road,Tenino
Ms. Moore spoke for her brother who is in Special Olympics in
Auburn. She expressed concern with the new park policy
regarding transportation of the Special Population Program
participants. Due to their disabilities, some participants are unable
to walk to the Metro Access bus stop. Ms. Moore stated that there
are times when the Access bus does not arrive or does not arrive
on time. Safety issues on the transit system are also a major
concern. Some of the parents of the Special Population
participants are elderly and this makes car-pooling difficult.
Ms. Moore expressed disappointment with the termination of the
bowling program during the winter months.
Mr. Deal stated that there is only one half-time person that
coordinates the Special Populations Program. Other programs that
coordinate with the Special Olympics calendar will be offered this
winter. Bowling is considered a fall activity. There is no longer a
bowling alley in Auburn and providing transportation to the facility
being used this year has been difficult.
C. Correspondence
No correspondence has been received for City Council review.

VIII. MAYOR'S REPORT
A. Update On New Auburn Library Facility
Parks and Recreation Director Deal updated the City Council on
the new library facility. Mr. Deal recalled that in 1996 Council
entered into an interlocal agreement with the King County Library
System to provide the property and provide up to $4,000,000 to
construct a new library. In February, 1997 residents voted to
annex to King County Library System. The project will be put out to
bid shortly after the first of the year with construction expected in
March, 1999. The opening of the new library is anticipated for
January, 2000.
Mr. Deal displayed several poster boards of the library site. The
1999 budget includes funds for improvements to J Street. The new
facility will include two tiers of parking. This will give the park an
additional 60 parking spaces. It will be necessary to remove some
trees. This area will be reforested with more desirable species. A
dense hedge approximately six feet high will screen the storage
area belonging to Forty Rentals. The building will be 15,000
square feet with the entrance on the south. The exterior will be of
brick with many windows to take advantage of the park setting and
to provide natural light. The structure is constructed to allow for
expansion up to a minimum of 5,000 square feet to the north. The
exterior on the north side will be of metal construction. The
landscaping will cover much of this.

Mr. Deal stated that the building construction will be approximately
$3,200,000 with an additional $800,000 for site development and
$750,000 for furnishings.
Mr. Deal reviewed the interior design of the library. The facility will
include meeting rooms, rest rooms, a reading room, a computer lab
with thirty computers for public use and for classes instructed by
King County, eighty "sit" spaces, a young adult facility, three
tutoring rooms, a children's area, and a reading nook. The
employee work space is much smaller than the current work space
as the handling and processing of books will be done at the
Regional Service Center in Seattle.
Mr. Deal stated that King County has contributed $750,000 to the
project in addition to the $4,000,000 by the City.
In response to questions by Councilmember Lewis, Mr. Deal stated
that the entrance will be seventy feet wide. The material used on
the north side of the structure will meet City standards. Mr. Deal
offered to supply samples of the material being used.
B. Year 2000 Update
Ms. Supler reported that a Y2K Steering Committee composed of
the various City departments has been created. A work plan has
been outlined for City internal operations. The first goal is to fully
complete an inventory of all automated systems and equipment,
and determine which of those are mission critical to operations.
The next step is to test and determine which will be compliant and,
for those that will not, develop remedies and evaluate the impact.
A survey will be completed to determine the status of vendors,
suppliers, and service providers. The overall strategy of the
Committee is to develop a contingency plan for mission critical
systems that might not be fixed on time and develop a disaster plan
for unforeseen events.
Ms. Supler reported that there have been communications with
Valley Com and E911 and these systems should be up and
running. The financial system was updated on December 17,
1998. The greatest concern is with Puget Sound Energy and
whether they will be compliant. Contingency plans are being made
with the Fire and Police Departments. The Committee also has not
received assurance from the Spillman system used by the Police

this time are the City water and sewer systems.
