CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Public Hearings
Local Improvement District No. 250
F2.4.9 LID 250
The City Council of the City of Auburn, pursuant to
Resolution No. 3672, adopted December 15, 2003, has
declared its intention to initiate the formation of Local
Improvement District (LID) No. 250 to develop certain public
parking improvements in downtown Auburn.
Finance Director Shelley Coleman presented the staff report
for this evening's public hearing. The purpose of the public
hearing is to provide the opportunity for persons to express
approval or opposition to the formation of the LID. The City
entered into an agreement with Sound Transit for 180
parking spaces at the Sound Transit parking garage. The
LID provides for the exclusive use of 85 of the parking stalls
for the property specially benefited. The LID identifies two
parcels owned by the same property owner as the property
specially benefited.
Director Coleman introduced Mr. Steve DiJulio of the law
firm Foster Pepper & Shefelman, which firm has represented
the City Council as special counsel and bond counsel. Mr.
DiJulio explained that local improvement districts are
mechanisms whereby properties that are specially benefited
by public improvement pay for the public improvements.
The benefited property of this LID is a downtown property
that will be able to develop based on the availability of the
85 parking stalls provided.
Councilmember Poe inquired whether the LID participant is
responsible for maintaining the 85 parking stalls. Finance
Director Coleman stated that maintenance costs are not part
of the local improvement district assessment. Mr. DiJulio
also added that local improvement districts fund the capital

are addressed separately.
