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. James Monteith, 1105 18t" St SE, Auburn Mr. Monteith presented a petition to Councilmembers comprised of signatures of residents residing in the neighborhood located in the Page 3 City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes October 15, 2001 area of 1820 "L" Street SE. Mr. Monteith referred to incidents in the neighborhood involving a shooting that occurred on October 2, 2001 and a lock-down of the neighborhood due to police and SWAT Team activities which occurred on October 4, 2001. Mr. Monteith stated that the petition included sixty-six signatures representing forty-one of the forty-five residences within the neighborhood. Mr. Monteith alleged that drug and criminal activities have been occurring at the residence located at 1820 "L" Street SE for some time. There have also been problems with regard to abandoned vehicles. Mr. Monteith requested action by the City to eliminate crimes occurring at the residence. Mr. Monteith pointed out that the neighborhood is in close proximity to Olympic Middle School, which is a drug free zone. Darin Westover, 1840 "L" Street SE, Auburn Mr. Westover stated that his family has been traumatized by the shooting incident that occurred. at the residence located at 1820 "L" Street SE. Mr. Westover criticized the actions of the City of Auburn and the Auburn Police Department with regard to the incident. Mr. Westover stated that he has witnessed drug use in front of the residence, which he reported to 911. Marvin Cory, 1805 "L" Street SE, Auburn Mr. Cory stated that his residence is located directly across the street from the residence located at 1820 "L" Street SE. Mr. Cory stated that problems have existed at the referenced residence for a number of years. Rick Marshall, 1830 "L" Street SE, Auburn Mr. Marshall stated that he lives next door to 1820 "L" Street SE. Mr. Marshall stated that problems occurring at that residence over the years include the accumulation of garbage and the theft of his vehicle. Mr. Marshall thanked the Auburn Police Department for their assistance over the years, but stated he felt that they were over zealous with regard to the incident involving the thirteen year old youth residing at the residence in question. Mr. Marshall expressed his opinion that earlier intervention by the Auburn Police Department, the City of Auburn, or Child Protection Services might have prevented the shooting incident. Page 4 City of Auburn Council Meetin{~ Minutes October 15, 2001 Debbie Combs, 1815 "L Street SE, Auburn Ms. Combs stated that she owns the residence located across the street from 1820 "L" Street SE. Ms. Combs stated that, several months ago, she asked the City to intervene if King County declined to press charges regarding a drug bust that occurred at the residence in question. Ms. Combs stated that the thirteen year old youth residing at that residence has not attended school for the last three years. Ms. Combs pointed out that the neighborhood is in very close proximity to two schools, Pioneer and Olympic. Ms. Combs stated that there are many transients in the area and an abundance of drug activity. Ms. Combs urged Council to use a portion of the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program funds on the eradication of drug houses. Vicki Clinton, 14210 SE 23rd Street, Bellevue Ms. Clinton stated that her parents live in the neighborhood of 1820 "L" Street SE. Ms. Clinton stated that the incident that occurred at that residence is a disgrace. She feels that the City of Auburn let down the two boys residing at that residence. Ms. Clinton stated that the residence is well known for drug trafficking. The majority of the residents in the neighborhood are senior citizens and young families and they no longer feel safe within their homes. Alfred Marchado, 1815 "L" Street SE, Auburn Mr. Marchado stated that he lives across the street from 1820 "L" St SE. Mr. Marchado stated that he has been a resident since 1992, and the drug trafficking has been occurring at the residence in question since that time. He feels the City of Auburn has let the neighborhood down and expressed his disappointment in the City and its officials. Anthony Stull, 1015 18"~ Street SE, Auburn Mr. Stull stated that he does not know the residents at 1820 "L" Street SE. He expressed his displeasure with the City of Auburn and the desire to see the situation rectified. Mr. Stull stated that the incident has been very traumatic for his five year old daughter. Page 5 City of Auburn Council Meetin_q Minutes October 15, 2001 Bob Hoyt, 1802 "L" Street SE, Auburn Mr. Hoyt stated that the situation at 1820 "L" Street SE has created a hardship for all the residents in the neighborhood. Mr. Hoyt stated that he is not disappointed in the City of Auburn and he feels the Police Department has done all that they can. do. Mr. Hoyt urged Council to assist the Police Department in rectifying the situation. City Attorney Michael Reynolds stated that information from Mayor Booth and Police Chief Jim Kelly confirm that a problem exists at 1820 "L" Street SE. The Auburn Police Department has requested assistance from the Legal Department with regard to the residence in question. Attorney Reynolds explained the following potential remedies to the situation. 1) Abatement process. The abatement process can be implemented in a situation where specific activities are occurring at a residence. The end result is that the structure is vacated for a period of one year. The abatement terminates after that period. Some of the negative aspects to the abatement process are that windows are boarded up, creating an unsightly appearance, and the structure is unoccupied. It becomes obvious that the structure is not occupied and can become a transient facility. The abatement process is not necessarily an adequate remedy within a neighborhood. 2) Class "C" Felony. A Class "C" felony includes the prosecution of an individual who utilizes their home for narcotics trafficking. If successful, it would result in the particular resident to be tried and sentenced in King County Superior Court, which would probably result in some form of incarceration. Release would probably occur after a short duration of time. This remedy is totally controlled by King County. The negative aspects are that this is not a long term remedy and King County has a significant volume of cases and could decline the case. Page 6 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes October 15, 2001 3) Eminent Domain or Condemnation Process. The eminent domain or the condemnation processes are most generally used for construction projects, which require the taking of a citizen's property for things such as road widening. This is a lengthy process and the city ultimately purchases the property. There is a provision that allows a condemnation process in the event a facility is being used for the type of activities that are occurring at the property in question. The City could go through the condemnation process, acquire the property, and place covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CCR's) on the property upon resell. Upon the sale of the property, the purchaser would agree to remedy the conditions addressed by the CCR's. This is may be the best remedy and would be useful for other properties as well. The simplest solution would be to set up an abatement condemnation fund within the budgetary process and would be similar to the process used for construction projects. Attorney Reynolds recommended that Council adopt the eminent domain or condemnation process. The City of Seattle currently uses this method successfully. Councilmember Lewis requested additional information from the Police Department regarding other residences with similar problems to the activities occurring at 1820 "L" Street SE. In response to questions from Councilmember Poe, Attorney Reynolds responded that the City must show cause for eminent domain or condemnation through a hearing process. Councilmember Wagner questioned the duration of the process from implementation until such time as the City would take possession of a property. Attorney Reynolds explained that the time span would depend upon the hearing process and the amount of resistance in the factual findings. Current case filings at King County Superior Court are receiving early 2003 trial dates. The condemnation process usually receives an expedited hearing over other cases, but the criminal case calendar is expedited as well. Page 7 City of Auburn Council MeetinR Minutes October 15, 2001 In response to questions from Councilmembers Brothers and Borden, Attorney Reynolds stated that matters regarding children are referred to Child Protection Services (CPS) and they act independently of other agencies. Police Chief Kelly stated that the woman residing at 1820 "L" St SE does not have custody of the children living at the residence. Custody is held by the estranged father of the children, who lives in Federal Way. The Auburn Police Department and the City have been working with the grandparents and the father with regard to the child custody issues, but neither the City nor CPS are equipped to deal with this type of issue. Attorney Reynolds pointed out that the challenge on all condemnation cases is the human element involved, such as relocating the resident. Relocation may or may not be required, depending on method used to abate the property. The City of Auburn has always attempted to work with the homeowner, even though the City might not be required to relocate the resident under federal condemnation guidelines. Councilmember Lewis recommended that Council determine an amount needed during the current budgetary cycle to begin the abatement process. Councilmember Borden suggested that the issue be referred to the Municipal Services Committee to discuss it in more detail to try to achieve a long term solution. Councilmember Borden requested additional information regarding the financial impacts and the condemnation and abatement process. In response to questions from Councilmember Barber, Attorney Reynolds stated that the first step is to develop an ordinance which would allow the eminent domain process to begin. Councilmember Lewis urged those living in the neighborhood to place 911 calls every time an incident occurs at the location in question. Police Chief Kelly advised the residents to continue to call and report incidents that cause concern. Callers should be aware Page 8 City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes October 15, 2001 that all 911 calls are prioritized, but an officer will respond to the call. Police Chief Kelly reported that the Police Department has forty documented police case reports, from 1996 to present, on the residence located at 1820 "L" Street SE. That number is disproportionately high compared to other neighborhoods. Attorney Duncan Wilson, 1400 Talbot Rd S, #-400, Renton Mr. Wilson explained that he is speaking on behalf of the Michados. Mr. Wilson expressed his implicit trust in Attorney Reynolds. Mr. Wilson expressed the opinion that the abatement process can force a property owner to make an economic decision to sell the property rather than let the property sit vacant for twelve months. Although it prevents the City from placing CCR's on the property, in most cases, a new property owner resolves the existing conditions. Jennifer Stull, 1015 18th Street SE, Auburn Ms. Stull described an incident regarding bicycles and inquired what type of activities should be considered suspicious and require reporting. Police Chief Kelly stated that any incident that raises suspicion, including non-emergencies, should be reported to 911. Robed Zanoni, 1510 24th Street SE, Auburn Mr. Zanoni stated that Council has the ability to adopt ordinances and zoning regulations, which might provide a means to create long-term solutions. Mr. Zanoni questioned if the drug and seizure law could be enforced regarding the property in question. Police Chief Kelly stated that the asset seizure forfeiture law is very complicated and the burden of proof is very difficult. Attorney Reynolds concurred with statements made by Attorney Wilson, but pointed out that the City of Auburn has experienced abateme,nt situations where property owners do not necessarily behave in an economically rational manner and have let the property sit vacant. Page 9 City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes October 15, 2001 In response to statements made by Mr. Zanoni, Attorney Reynolds stated that actual tracing of the monetary amount from the drug transaction to the acquisition of the property is extremely difficult. Debbie Combs, 1815 "L Street SE, Auburn Ms. Combs expressed her concern regarding the close vicinity of the residence in question to the nearby schools and pointed out that most of the traffic in the neighborhood is children. Councilmember Poe expressed his appreciation of the citizen participation and input this evening. Councilmember Poe assured the citizens that the Police Department is doing everything allowed within the law and that the situation will be discussed at the next Municipal Services Committee meeting. Councilmember Poe requested detailed information from Police Chief Kelly. Councilmember Wagner requested additional information from Attorney Reynolds regarding drug free zones around schools and what the City can do regarding enforcement. Councilmember Barber concurred with Councilmember Poe and confirmed that Council is very concerned regarding the situation. Virginia Haugen, 2503 R Street SE, Auburn Ms. Haugen thanked Attorney Reynolds for his input regarding possible solutions to the situation at the residence in question. Ms. Haugen questioned Council regarding the purchase of the Rail Tavern. Attorney Reynolds stated that there was some disagreement regarding the acquisition of the Rail Tavern between the City of Auburn and the Washington State Auditors office. Attorney Reynolds explained that under the Open Meetings Act the action was first taken by Council in a budgetary process which allocated $500,000 for the purchase of downtown properties. The action was taken in an open meeting and passed in a budget ordinance. The wire transfer of funds to the Page10 City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes October 15, 2001 closing agent for the purchase of the property appeared on the consent agenda in an open meeting. The actual acquisition appeared on the accounts in the Finance Department as the purchase of the Rail Tavern. Due to possible negotiations for other properties, the ultimate transfer of the property occurred by resolution in an open meeting approximately sixteen months after the acquisition. Mr. Reynolds stated that an executive session is allowed for the purpose of acquiring real estate if the information would cause price of the real estate to inflate, and therefor is an exemption under Open Meetings Act. Mr. Reynolds stressed that the City was not in a position of unnecessary risk of loss with regard to the transfer of the Rail Tavern property. When the property was transferred from the seller of the Rail Tavern to the nominee, it was transferred in the deed as nominee for a third party. The third party was declared on the excise tax affidavit to King County as the City of Auburn. The nominee did not have authority to convey the property. The nominee collected all rents and deposited them in a trust account and provided a monthly accounting of the trust account to the Finance Department. The trust account was backed up not only under the rules of the Washington State Bar Association, but also by an insurance certificate from the nominee showing the City of Auburn as an additional insured. In response to questions from Councilmember Brothers, Attorney Reynolds stated that the transaction saved taxpayers approximately $50,000. The large number of Council actions would make it virtually impossible to determine when an item should be removed from the consent agenda due to public interest. Mr. Reynolds urged citizens to fully read the Council agendas. The City will respond to inquiries made regarding any agenda item. Virginia Haugen, 2503 "R" Street SE, Auburn Ms. Haugen expressed concern regarding including a consent agenda on the Council agenda. She pointed out that citizens might not pay enough attention to the items contained in the consent agenda. Page 11 City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes October 15, 2001 Councilmember Borden pointed out that there are many Council meetings at which there is no public audience or participation. Councilmember Poe stated that the Rail Tavern purchase was from budgeted funds and the City operated above board and followed the requirements of the Open Meeting Act. C. Correspondence No correspondence was received for City Council review. III. COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS A3,7.6 a.

Ordinance No. 5587 A3.17, O5.1.2 An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington, authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Agreement for the development and lease of property at Scootie Brown Park. Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer seconded to introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 5587. In response to questions from Councilmembers 'Brothers and Poe regarding the minimum insurance coverage limits, Attorney Reynolds responded that the City took a more conservative stance regarding the insurance limits required due to the joint partnership nature of the agreement and the addition of construction involved on the project. Parks and Recreation Director Deal stated that the City assumes no greater risk or liability than on other public properties. Denny Holt, representing Green River Professional Center (GRPC), stated that GRPC observed that the insurance risk limits were higher than normal, but did not feel it was appropriate to take exception to them. GRPC would appreciate further discussion on normal and customary insurance limits, builders risk insurance during the term of construction, and long term liability insurance after construction. GRPC is pleased with the other changes and corrections made to the agreement. Mr. Holt requested a determination as soon as possible.
