II. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Public Hearings
1. 2001-2006 Six Year Transportation Improvement Program
04,9,3
State law requires the City of Auburn to annually prepare
and adopt a comprehensive transportation improvement
program for each ensuing six calendar years. Prior to
adoption of a six year transportation program, a public
hearing is held to review the work accomplished under each
Six Year Transportation Improvement Program for the
purpose of determining current city street needs, and to
adopt a revised and extended comprehensive transportation
improvement program.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing.
Public Works DirectOr Christine Engler introduced Traffic
Engineer Cass Brotherton for a presentation on the 2001-
2006 Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
Ms. Brotherton referred to a handout distributed by
Transportation Planner Joe Welsh. Ms. Brotherton stated
that the purpose of the presentation is to introduce the Six
Year Transportation Improvement Program (T)P). The TIP
is required by state law to encourage and allow for
coordination between jurisdictions to create an integrated
transportation system, identify the financial impacts, and
inform the public and other jurisdictions. Development of the
TIP is a lengthy process involving studies of growth trends
and safety data to prioritize needs and create list of projects.
Ms. Brotherton explained that the proposed TIP projects
represent a $140 million investment in transportation, which
includes ,I;9 million in City funds. The TIP includes a major
emphasis on grade separations and includes some safety
work and some work to preserve the transportation system.
Ms. Brotherton stated that one project was inadvertently
omitted from the TIP and requested that Project 38,
Channelization Improvements on Auburn Way South from 6t~
Page 2
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes September 5, 2000
Street to "D" Street, be added. Ms. Brotherton explained
that it is a small project and funds are already available for
the improvements. This project is in support of Washington
State Department of Transportation study of State Route
(SR) 164. This is a very high accident area with one
hundred and three accidents occurring over the last three
years. The total cost of the project is $25,000 with $22,500
provided in federal grant funds.
Ms. Brotherton reported that projects being constructed in
2000 represents a $31,000,000 investment including a
$1,000,000 City investment. The TIP includes two major
grade separation projects and still supports safety and
protection of investments.
Ms. Brotherton explained that the South 277th Corridor
project is on the City of Auburn TIP and also the City of Kent
TIP. Negotiations are under review to find the best way to
transfer this project to the City of Kent. A modification to the
TIP will be made at such time as the transfer occurs.
Ms. Brotherton reported that there are also some non-
motorized projects, which include the pedestrian bridge and
a new signal at the transit station. Also included is the Fred
Meyer Trail, which is currently unimproved. For safety
improvements, four signals are proposed at Lakeland Hills,
"A" Street at the Transit Station, Auburn Way South and "F"
Street, and Kersey Way and Oravetz Road. Also proposed
are various paving projects for preservation and additional
signal projects where the need for repair arises.
In response to questions from Councilmember Wagner, Ms.
Brothedon stated that timing for notification to affected
property owners on the channelization improvement #38 on
Auburn Way South, from 6th Street to "D Street, will be
determined upon resolution of the SR 164 study.
In response to questions from Councilmember Brothers, Ms.
Brotherton explained that the pavement rating is a
percentage comparison and is being evaluated by a
contractor. Bicycle path markings are not included in the
non-motorized projects, although adequate shoulder will be
Page 3
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes September 5, 2000
provided for bicycle traffic. The evaluation is a three year
program.
Transportation Planner Joe Welsh added that one hundred
percent of the arterials and thirty to fifty percent of the local
roads are being evaluated. The Contractor will evaluate the
condition of the asphalt to determine the best method for
restoration, determine which roads to improve first, and
coordinate with ongoing projects.
No one from the audience requested to speak,
Councilmember Wagner moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to close the public hearing.
Councilmember Poe commented regarding the citywide
experimental crosswalk program under Item 14.
Councilmember Poe requested further discussion at the
Public Works Committee relative to the current crosswalk
policy prior to expenditure of funds.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
2. 2001 Preliminary Budget
F3.15
In preparation of the 2001 Preliminary Budget, all interested
persons are encouraged to participate in this public hearing
by making comments, proposals, and suggestions on
matters for the City Council and Mayor to consider in
development of the 2001 Budget.
There was no staff presentation. Finance Director Diane
Supler noted that she received her first e-mail from a citizen
requesting an evaluation of a program.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing.
Robed Tramberg, Sr., 549 12"~ Street SE, Auburn WA
Mr. Tramberg stated that he received a water bill in the
amount of $820.49. Mr. Tramberg noted that the bill
included sewer fees that were not previously billed. Mr.
Tramberg stated that he and his wife are on disability and
Page 4
City of Auburn Council Meetin_cl Minutes Sentember 5, 2000
paying a bill of this size is a hardship. Mr. Tramberg
requested assistance in resolving this issue.
Director Supler offered to research Mr. Tramberg's situation.
Don Miller, 2712 Alpine Drive SE, Auburn WA
Mr. Miller stated that he is an architect and supplies various
data on the city to his clients. Mr. Miller expressed concern
with safety with regards to Auburn Police and Fire
Departments and the emergency equipment used. Mr. Miller
suggested a 3M strobe lighting product for emergency
vehicles at intersections and also recommended the City
purchase an Opticom GPS system. Mr. Miller also urged the
City to pursue various avenues to improve the downtown
area.
Councilmember Barber moved and Councilmember Lewis
seconded to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
B. Audience Participation
This is the place on the agenda where the public is invited to speak
to the City Council on any issue.
Dr. Nancy Becker, 1803 3rd Street NE, Auburn WA
Dr. Becker expressed concern regarding the parking available at
the Auburn Regional Medical Center. Dr. Becker pointed out that
the 106,000 square foot addition being added to the medical center
requires no additional parking. Dr. Becker remarked that she feels
the Auburn Regional Medical Center is not acting in good faith. Dr.
Becker requested that the City review the parking requirements for
the addition, as parking is already inadequate.
In response to questions from Councilmember Poe regarding Dr.
Becker's concerns, Director Krauss stated that the SEPA checklist
does not normally go to Council, but is open for appeal. Director
Krauss stated that the Medical Center claims the addition is
replacement space. If the vacated space is developed in the
future, it would require additional review. The parking garage was
built for the medical office building, which has substantial parking
Page 5
City of Auburn Council Meetin,{3 Minutes Sentember 5, 2000
requirements under the City ordinance. Parking requirements for a
hospital are significantly less than for a medical office facility. The
Medical Center supplied verification of an acceptable amount of
parking. They also maintain that a number of unauthorized parties
use the parking garage. This was a complex issue and decisions
were made based on the information supplied.
In response to questions from Councilmember Lewis, Director
Krauss stated that the SEPA is reviewed by all City departments. It
is not uncommon that substantial development, which is consistent
with the zoning, does not require Council review.
Responding to Councilmember Wagner, Director Krauss reported
that parking requirements for a hospital are based on the number
of beds. Director Krauss explained that the requirements may or
may not be representative of the volume of traffic generated at a
hospital. The requirements for medical offices have different
standards and are somewhat more current and generate
substantial parking. Councilmember Wagner suggested that
standards should be re-evaluated.
In response to questions from Councilmember Brothers, Director
Krauss responded that new hospitals are seldom built and
expansions are rare for Auburn.
In response to questions to Councilmember Lewis, Director Krauss
stated that it is the hospital's position that they are building a
replacement facility. Documentation was provided to substantiate
that all uses exist in the facility today. Director Krauss pointed out
that in addition to the parking garage, the hospital has purchased
an additional thirty parking spaces located across the street.
Councilmember Wagner stated that the parking garage is restrictive
with regards to vehicle size. Councilmember Wagner requested a
review of the usability of the parking structure. Director Krauss
responded that the garage was built in accordance with City
standards at the time of construction and new standards exist now.
Councilmember Wagner requested copies of the documentation
provided by the hospital.
Page 6
City of Auburn Council Meetin_~ Minutes September 5, 2000
In response to Councilmembers Poe and Lewis, Director Krauss
stated that the hospital maintains that the addition will not generate
new employees. Conditions for future use of the abandoned space
are provided for in the permit. The current facilities are not
sufficient to accommodate current state of the art equipment
available today.
Councilmember Wagner requested that the Planning and
Community Development Committee review the zoning ordinance
and the methodology used to determine needed parking spaces.
Dr. Nancy Becker, 1803 3'd Street NE, Auburn WA
Dr. Becker stressed that additional employees will be necessary to
fill the new facilities.
Clint Tullis, 16300 184th Avenue SE, Renton WA
Mr. Tullis stated that he is a local realtor representing various
property owners. Mr. Tullis spoke regarding the appraisal of
properties and moving and inconvenience costs to clients in the
area of the 277th Street project. Mr. Tullis requested information
regarding predicted surface water runoff and the related retention
ponds. Mr. Tullis opposed the appraisal methods and values and
the amount of property under condemnation. Mr. Tullis requested
a response from the Public Works Department and distributed his
comments to the City Clerk.
For clarification of these minutes, Mr. Tullis' comments were made
immediately following Dr. Becker's initial comments.
C. Correspondence
No correspondence was received for City Council review.

City of Auburn Council Meetin,el Minutes September 5, 2000
a Preannexation Agreement between Pierce County and the
City of Auburn relating to the construction of regional
infrastructure and facilities for the proposed Lake Tapps
Parkway DevelopmenL
Director Krauss recommended the following changes to the
preannexation agreement:
Section 1.0, the addition of a last sentence to read:
"The City agrees to provide a share of funding for the
improvements as provided herein and to own and
maintain improvements and certain other facilities
upon annexation, defined in this agreement all of
which must be constructed in accordance with
adopted plans as defined herein and accepted by the
County, as specified in this Agreement."
Section 4.0, paragraph 5, the addition of a last
sentence to read: "That portion of the LTPE located
south of the pipeline easement, outside the Auburn
UGA, shall not become the maintenance
responsibility of the City."
Director Krauss explained that there is a portion of the
Lake Tapps Parkway that links to the Sumner Tapps
Highway that is outside the City's UGA or PAA in King
County and will not become part of the City of Auburn.
Section 9.0, paragraph C, to read: "The City
acknowledges and agrees that the explicitly defined
obligations of the County under the agreements
outlined in the foregoing will become the obligations
of the City for facilities as explicitly identified herein in
Sections 3 and 4."
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember
Singer seconded to adopt Resolution No. 3249 with the
modifications recommended by Director Krauss.
Councilmember Wagner recommended a modification to the
motion in section 9.0, paragraph B, next to the last line, to
Page 14
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes Se~}tember 5, 2000
add the words: "to be limited to a $50,000 maximum
obligation by the City."
Tom Ballard, Pierce County Engineer
Mr. Ballard thanked the City and Tucci/Evergreen for their
cooperation regarding this agreement. Mr. Ballard
expressed pleasure in having the annexation agreement in
place. Mr. Ballard explained that there are provisions in the
agreement under negotiation with Sumner that would relieve
the City of Auburn and Pierce County of future potential
financial liability. Mr. Ballard stressed that Pierce County
would not be willing to sign an agreement that has a cap on
the fifty percent split provision referred to by Councilmember
Wagner. The probability of having to replace or lift the
bridge is minuscule.
Councilmember Wagner stated that his intent is to limit the
50/50 split provision to those kinds of environmental and
construction standards that exist today and not those that
might be imposed by National Marine Fisheries Service.
This bridge is used for maintenance purposes.
Councilmember Wagner stated that he is not comfortable
with an open-ended provision.
In response to questions from Councilmembers Brothers
and Borden, Director Krauss explained that extensive
discussion has taken place regarding the cost sharing
between the City and Pierce County. The Puget Sound
Energy (PSE) agreement was negotiated with Pierce County
several years ago. At that time, PSE was expecting more
than 200 cubic feet per second to flow into the tailrace and
the pipe was designed to accommodate that amount.
Through the intervention of the City of Auburn, Lakeland
was required to have on-site storm detention. Reduction in
the flow as a result if the upstream pond is as much as
seventy-five percent. A hydrological consultant was retained
by Tucci/Evergreen Partners to determine the reduced rate
of flow and the impact on the system, which was reviewed
by the City engineers. The City determined that the
potential of having to raise the bridge in the future is near
negligible.
Page 15
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes September 5, 2000
In response to questions from Councilmember Singer,
Director Krauss stated that the tailrace capacity is sufficient.
The fish barrier, should it be required, has the potential of
backing up the tailrace and raising the water elevation.
Councilmember Poe referred to Section 9.0, paragraph B.
and expressed concern with reference to Exhibit "M".
Tom Ballard, Pierce County Engineer
Mr. Ballard stated that Pierce County and PSE are currently
in discussion regarding the agreement referred to under
Exhibit "M". The intent is if a document is consummated in
the future it would become part of this agreement. It is
possible to negotiate with the City of Sumner and PSE to
transfer the liability of modifying the bridge, if necessary, to
the City of Sumner. There is an opportunity to offer funds to
City of Sumner that would be matched by Pierce County to
eliminate future liability in connection with any bridge
modifications.
Discussion followed with regard to the time line in
connection with Resolution No. 3249 and the possible costs
involved with regard to the bridge and tailrace.
Councilmember Poe recommended that Section 9.0,
paragraph B, be amended to delete everything after the first
sentence.
Director Engler explained that if the that language is deleted,
the provision in the PSE and Pierce County Agreement that
in the event the water surface in the tailrace is raised due to
a fish barrier, the City would assume complete obligation for
the bridge. There is an original easement granted by PSE to
Pierce County for the placement of the original bridge.
When Sumner annexed that area they became the
successor to the terms of that easement. There is some
indication that Sumner would have to deal with any
problems that occurred due to the tailrace should alterations
be required. Director Engler recommended against deleting
the language in Section 9.0, paragraph B.
Page 16
City of Auburn Council Meetin_cl Minutes September 5, 2000
Councilmember Poe expressed concern with Exhibit "M"
being unavailable at this time.
Tom Ballard, Pierce County Engineer
Mr. Ballard agreed with Councilmember Poe and stated that
the intent is a stipulation that the City of Auburn inherits the
tailrace agreement from PSE with the exception that Pierce
County will share in the obligations at the rate of fifty
percent. Mr. Ballard suggested including language to
remove Exhibit "M" from the agreement.
Mr. Ballard concurred with Director Engler that Sumner is
the owner of the bridge and inherited the conditions in
connection with the bridge. If anything causes the bridge to
be replaced, it is the responsibility of the City of Sumner and
not the City of Auburn and Pierce County. The only event
that would be the responsibility of Auburn and Pierce County
would be due to the amount of water coming from the outfall
necessitating raising the bridge.
Councilmember Brothers moved to table Resolution No.
3249 and refer it back to the Planning and Community
Development Committee. There was no second to the
motion.
Director Krauss recommended that the proposed
modifications include language to remove Exhibit "M" from
the agreement.
In response to questions from Councilmember Poe, Director
Engler stated that the agreement is not explicit with regard
to available capacity. The provisions in the agreement
between Pierce County and PSE address the need to make
bridge modifications as a result of the County/City discharge
to the tailrace. The trigger would be any elevation increases
to the waters flowing down the tailrace due to a fish barrier.
Councilmember Wagner referred Councilmember Poe to
paragraph twenty-seven in Exhibit "C", paragraph two, in
which City of Auburn and Pierce County would agree to
provide adequate clearance for those waters discharged due
to their improvements.
Page 17
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes September 5, 2000
Councilmember Borden modified the motion to include
language to eliminate references to Exhibit "M" in the
agreement. Councilmember Singer concurred.
Director Krauss restated the modifications as follows:
Section 1.0, the addition of a last sentence to read:
"The City agrees to provide a share of funding for the
improvements as provided herein and to own and
maintain improvements and certain other facilities
upon annexation, defined in this agreement all of
which must be constructed in accordance with
adopted plans as defined herein and accepted by the
County, as specified in the Agreement."
Section 4.0, paragraph 5, the addition of a last
sentect to read: "That portion of the LTPE located
south of the pipeline easement, outside the Auburn
UGA, shall not become the maintenance
responsibility of the City."
Section 9.0, paragraph C, to read: "The City
acknowledges and agrees that the explicitly defined
obligations of the County under the agreements
outlined in the foregoing will become the obligations
of the City for facilities as explicitly indentified herein
in Sections 3 and 4."
Section 9.0, paragraph B, to include language to
eliminate reference to Exhibit "M" from the
Agreement.
It was suggested by Director Krauss and Pierce County
Engineer Tom Ballard that the amendment to Section 4.0,
would be better suited under paragraph seven. The Council
concurred.
