I1. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Public Hearings
1. 2003 Preliminary Budget
F.3.16
All persons interested are encouraged to participate in this
public hearing by making comments, proposals, and
suggestions for the City Council and Mayor to consider prior
to adoption of the City of Auburn 2003 Budget.
Page 3
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes September t 6, 200:)
Finance Director Coleman referred to an overhead
presentation regarding the 2003 Revenue. Director
Coleman reviewed General Fund revenues and 2003
revenue projections. Director Coleman also reviewed tax
revenues and the property tax levy rate.
Director Coleman displayed property tax comparisons with
surrounding communities and reviewed revenue impacts
due to passage of Initiative 747. Property tax levy increases
are limited to the lesser of inflation as measured by the
increase in the Implicit Price Deflator (IPD) or 1%. In the
event a city needed to levy more than 1%, they may apply
for a one time levy lid lift. Lifts must be voted upon annually.
Director Coleman reported on revenues from licenses,
permits and fines, including business registrations, building
and plumbing permits, various other permit fees, and
intergovernmental revenues. Revenue from charges for
services is slightly less than revenue received in 2002.
Director Coleman stated that the short term economic
forecast is poor. Economists predict that retail sales will
maintain the current level or may decline, and employment
and income growth is feeble. The overall economic
environment remains stagnant as compared to previous
years.
Director Coleman explained that Initiative 776, which will
appear on the November, 2002 ballot, limits motor vehicle
license fees for cars and light trucks and will impact the
arterial street fund and Six Year Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP).
Director Coleman summarized changes in revenues from
1997 through 2003. Year 2002-2003 revenue is budgeted
at a .1% increase over 2001-2002, which experienced an
8.6% revenue decrease over prior year.
Mayor Lewis opened the public hearing.
No one requested to speak.

City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes September 16, 20n~
Mayor Lewis closed the public hearing.
2. Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
F5.4.1
The City of Auburn's application for funding under the
Department of Justice Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
Program has been approved in the amount of $44,135 for
the purpose of reducing crime and improving public safety.
The City of Auburn proposes to utilize the grant to pay
overtime costs for police officers engaged in community
policing activities. Special conditions of the grant award
require the City to encourage participation regarding the
proposed use of the payment under the Local Law
Enforcement Block Grant.
There was no staff presentation for the Local Law
Enforcement Block Grant Program.
Mayor Lewis opened the public hearing.
No one requested to speak.
Mayor Lewis closed the public hearing.
3. 2003-2008 Six Year Transportation Improvement Program
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.
Transportation Planner Joe Welsh distributed a revised copy
of the Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP),
which included three amendments. Project No. 7 includes
an amendment in grant funding amount to match the
maximum amount that can be received. Project No. 22, "A"
Page 5
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes September 16, 200?
Street SE Pedestrian Improvement, was added to the TIP,
and Project No. 47 includes a mathematical correction.
Mr. Welsh reviewed the background and purpose of the TIP
program. The TIP is required by state and federal law and is
required in order to secure federal funds. The TIP ensures
advance project planning and encourages coordinated
development of transportation projects between City
departments and other jurisdictions and agencies. One of
the major purposes of the TIP is to identify financial impacts.
Mr. Welsh pointed out that the TIP includes new road
capacity projects including Academy Drive, which is a major
connection between Auburn Way South and the Green River
Valley, the addition of a turning lane at 41't Street SE and
"A" Street SE and also 8th Street NE and Auburn Way North,
to relieve congestion at these intersections. The TIP also
includes new arterial road rehabilitation projects including
West Valley Highway from Peasley Canyon Road to 15th
Street SW and improvements to 15th Street SW.
Mr. Welsh explained that the TIP includes three new road
studies including 'T' Street NE, which will determine the
impacts of opening the road to through traffic from 277th
Street South to Harvey Road on the neighborhoods along "1"
Street, "M" Street SE, to determine road rehabilitation
possibilities, and Auburn Black Diamond Road, to determine
possibilities for a non-motorized connection.
Mr. Welsh referred Councilmembers to the TIP spreadsheet
for those items under WSDOT Sponsored Projects. This is
a new section to the TIP. The City of Auburn has taken the
position to show projects on the TIP that will be completed
on state routes that are vital to the City of Auburn. New
State projects include the widening of State Route (SR) 167
shown under Project No. 48, the widening of Auburn Way
South (SR 164) under Project Nos. 50 and 51, the widening
of West Valley Highway under Project No. 52, and the
completion of SR 18 and SR 167 under Project No. 49.
Mr. Welsh stated that developer sponsored projects include
additional capacity to "C" Street SW from Ellingson Road to
Page 6
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes September 16, 200?
GSA. This project is specifically related to the new Safeway
distribution facility.
Mr. Welsh reviewed grant and City funding assumptions.
The 2003-2008 TIP assumes no general fund resources,
assumes small increases in the motor vehicle fuel tax, local
vehicle license fees, and real estate excise tax, and
assumes the use of interest income to support the
development of non-arterial road rehabilitation. The TIP
also reflects anticipation of a dramatic decline in
transportation impact fee revenue due to the poor economic
environment.
Councilmember Singer expressed concern regarding Project
No. 52, West Valley Highway Widening, with regard to the
area to be widened.
Mr. Welsh responded that the expectation is that the most
critical area of West Valley Highway to be widened is
between Peasley Canyon Road and 15th Street SW. The
City of Auburn Traffic Model shows that a future element of
the project may include widening beyond those points.
Councilmember Singer requested that future elements of
Project No. 52 be included in the TiP.
Mayor Lewis opened the public hearing.
JB Rupert, 1519 West Valley Highway North, Auburn
Mr. Rupert requested information with regard to determining
priority for the TIP projects. Mr. Rupert inquired whether
Project No. 9, Auburn Way North between South 277th and
the Green River bridge, is within the city limits. Mr. Rupert
also inquired regarding Project No. 11, "A" Street NW-
Phase 1 and Project No. 27, "A" Street NW- Phase 2. Mr.
Rupert was accompanied by Bill Gates of Mohawk Plastics,
who is in the process of obtaining building permits for a new
commercial project. Mr. Rupert reported that Mr. Gates is
proposing that he complete construction of "A" Street NW in
accordance with City of Auburn standards in lieu of traffic
mitigation fees for his project. Mr. Gates is also requesting
that, in the event a vacant lot also owned by Mr. Gates is
Page 7
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes September t6, 200?
improved, that traffic mitigation fees be waived for this
property as well.
Mr. Rupert also expressed displeasure with the traffic
impacts on SR 164 that will occur with the completion of the
Muckleshoot Amphitheatre located on SR 164.
Mayor Lewis stated that, according to the State of
Washington, SR 164 is not considered a highway of regional
significance at this time. The cities of Auburn and Kent and
South King County continue to work, through various
agencies, to encourage King County to add SR 164 to their
regional transportation plan. Obtaining available funding is
key in determining project priority for the TIP.
Mr. Welsh reviewed the processes utilized to determine
priority for the TIP projects.
Mr. Welsh stated that South 277th is in King County, but is a
project that will be needed to handle future capacity. The
project is located in the Auburn impact area. Portions of the
right of way are owned by the City of Kent, but the City of
Auburn agreed to complete the project.
Mr. Welsh stated that, with regard to the "A" Street project, it
is very difficult to obtain grant funding for local capacity
problems. This project is being funded by traffic impact fees
and it is being completed in phases to allow time to
accumulate the necessary funds.
Mayor Lewis encouraged Mr. Rupert to discuss Mr. Gates'
proposal with staff with regard to construction alternatives
for "A" Street NW.
Joe Binetti, 609 21st Street SE, Auburn
Mr. Binetti requested clarification on the proposed street
improvements on "A" Street by Mohawk Plastics. Mr. Binetti
is opposed to the improvements of "A" Street NE due to the
increase in traffic that the neighborhood would experience.
Mr. Binetti also requested clarification of "A" Street SE
pedestrian improvements.
Page 8
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes September 16, 200?
Mr. Welsh explained that the improvements on "A" Street SE
are to eliminate some stairs located under SR 18 and to
improve access so as to comply with the American
Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The improvements will
also improve access to the transit station. The non-
motorized project on the west side of "A" Street, adjacent to
the railroad tracks, is being considered for a non-motorized
trail and is part of the Comprehensive Plan. This project is
still under consideration.
Mr. Binetti questioned the reason the City would not install
sidewalks along "A" Street rather than considering installing
a trail.
Mr. Welsh responded that the property from the tracks to the
pavement line, on the west side of "A" Street SE, is owned
by the Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railroad. A trail would
allow concurrent use for pedestrian and bicycle access.
Pedestrian access is currently available on most of the east
side of "A" Street SE. There is no bicycle access on either
side of "A" Street SE.
Councilmember Singer pointed out that the Non-motorized
Transportation Plan will be reviewed next year. The
Planning Commission will be soliciting citizen input and
involvement with regard to pedestrian and bicycle pathways
as well as sidewalk improvements. Councilmember Singer
encouraged Mr. Binetti to participate.
Mr. Binetti expressed his displeasure at the lack of sidewalks
on the west side of "A" Street SE and expressed concern
regarding the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, roller bladers,
and skateboarders using the same pathway,
Ron Lambert, 543 Aaby Drive and 530 West Main Street,
Auburn
Mr. Lambert stated that he represents Andies American
Diner. Mr. Lambert expressed concern regarding downtown
access for residents and business located on the west end
of Auburn. Mr. Lambert encouraged Council to improve
access to the downtown core from the west end of Auburn
Page 9
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes September 16, 200?
by widening West Valley Highway from 15~ Street NE to 15t~
Street NW.
Mayor Lewis closed the public hearing.
B. Audience Participation
This is the place on the agenda where the public is invited to speak
to the City Council on any issue.
Laura Thomas, 2960 "M" Street SE
Ms. Thomas stated that she manages the Emerald Heights
Apartments. Ms. Thomas requested that the Auburn Police
Department provide landlord notification in accordance with the
Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 59.18.075 "Notification of
Landlord", and also enforcement of Auburn City Code Chapter 8.12
"Public Nuisances", Chapter 12.32 "Sidewalk Obstructions", and
Section 9.02.040 "Pedestrian/vehicular Interference". Ms. Thomas
distributed an information packet containing copies of the above
citings, a sample of a notification letter from City of Puyallup, and
correspondence from Spaid Unique Manor/Estates. Ms. Thomas
stated that she has not received notification from the Auburn Police
Department of any illegal drug activity or assault incidents occurring
at Emerald Heights Apartments since June 2002.
Police Chief Jim Kelly stated that landlord notification is sent out
when Auburn Police Department responds to specific types of
criminal activity occuring in multi-family housing units. Chief Kelly
reported that the Police Department is currently reviewing
notification procedures and will reinforce the need for officers to
complete notification forms.
C. Correspondence
No correspondence was received.
