Grant Program
03.4.1.7, F5.4.3
The CAPER is an overall review of housing and community
development activities undertaken in Auburn during 2006.
Its primary purpose is to inform the citizens of Auburn how
and where the federal funds are spent, and assess the
program accomplishments as they relate to housing and
community development goals set forth in the Consolidated
Plan. The purpose of this hearing is to solicit public
comments prior to approval of the CAPER and submission
of the report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.

the purpose of the CAPER and the various social services
provided through funding from the Community Development

2. Address Changes -Lakeland Hills Area

proposal to institute address changes in the Lakeland Hills
area in order to bring the addresses in compliance with the
City's addressing system.
Page 3
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes April 16, 2007
Building Division Manager Jim Tinner reported that the
purpose of the hearing is to provide the City Council with
information to make a determination regarding the proposed
address changes and to allow public testimony per Auburn
City Code Section 12.52.100. The scope of the changes are
106 buildings consisting of 136 dwellings. The methodology
for selecting the proposed changes were based on reviews
by representatives from Building, Fire and Police. Address
changes are based solely on those which pose a risk for
significant delays in emergency services. While other
addresses have been identified as anomalous, they did not
pose a significant risk of delay in emergency services.
Benefits to the proposed changes include the elimination of
the need to maintain a separate premise history database in
the Valley Communications system, reduction in mail
delivery errors, and ability for delivery services and visitors to
locate the properties with minimal confusion. Concerns
have been expressed by those affected by the address
changes related to potential impacts on credit ratings. Staff
has informally queried multiple credit granting entities and
were assured that the impact on credit ratings will be
minimal or non-existent, and City staff are prepared to
provide a letter to credit agencies explaining the
circumstances regarding the address changes due to
corrective action taken by the City. The post office also
provided written assurance that they will honor both old and
new addresses for a minimum of one full year. Actions by
the City and the post office should minimize any financial
impact on property owners.
Mr. Tinner reported that a public meeting was conducted at
Riverside High School in an effort to provide information to
and hear concerns from the affected property owners.
Fourteen members of the public attended.
Mr. Tinner explained that, if the Council approves address
changes proposed by staff, notification will be sent to each
property owner and over forty public agencies, and road
signs requiring changes will be identified. New road signs
will include the name of the former roadway. New address
assignments will be effective June 1, 2007 and existing
addresses may be used until June 1, 2008. The City now
employs an electronic mapping system to determine address
assignments.
Page 4
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes April 16, 2007
Councilmember Wagner suggested that, for the
convenience of affected citizens, staff provide a letter
addressed "to whom it may concern" explaining the situation
with regard to credit agency issues in addition to providing a
copy of the notification of the address changes to the Post
Master.
In response to a question from Councilmember Singer, Mr.
Tinner stated that selection .criteria for the address changes
were only those addresses that would cause a significant
delay in emergency response services. There are other
addresses that do not precisely follow the grid such as the
address referred to in the correspondence from Mr. and Mrs.
McGrath. To correct every address would involve renaming
several roads which would affect several hundred additional
homeowners. All Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA) staff
are trained on the addressing issues in the Lakeland Hills
area.
Mayor Lewis pointed out that VRFA staff have participated in
the review group. The addressing issues surfaced
approximately one year ago. At that time, staff did what was
necessary to protect the public with regards to emergency
response services. The review group has been meeting for
over a year in an effort to produce the correct solutions as
presented this evening.
Councilmember Singer stressed that she introduced the
question in an effort to assure the public that fire and police
staff are well trained regarding the addressing in the
Lakeland Hills area.
Mayor Lewis opened the public hearing at 7:55 p.m.
Len DeLeon, 1880 Arapaho Street, Denver, Colorado
Mr. DeLeon stated that he has just been appointed the
Postmaster in Auburn and that this is his first day on the job.
Mr. DeLeon expressed his concerns regarding the proposed
secondary addressing for the condominiums in the Lakeland
Hills area. Mr. DeLeon stated that using an alpha numeric
system could provide a potential for mail delay if the
addressees do not use their letter designation properly. Mr.
DeLeon gave several examples of potential problems using
Page 5
Citv of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes April 16, 2007
an alpha numeric system and requested that the City
consider using a numeric system versus an alpha numeric
system to eliminate the potential for errors and delays in
mail delivery.
Andrea Crabtree, Verona North, 860 63~d Street SE, Auburn
Ms. Crabtree stated that she resides on one of the streets
that will be affected by the address changes. Although she
recognizes the need for the address changes, she
requested that staff explain what constitutes a significant
delay in emergency response services. Ms. Crabtree
indicated that her street name has already been changed
once. She expressed concern that more changes will be
required in the future. Ms. Crabtree inquired regarding
monetary issues related to the proposed address changes
and requested that the City change all the addresses that
are incorrect rather than only a portion.
Mayor Lewis stressed that monetary issues did not enter into
the discussion regarding the need for the address
corrections. Staff determined that making changes to a
small number of addresses did not constitute the impact the
changes would create for several hundred other addresses.
Mr. Tinner stressed that emergency responders are drilled
on the addressing in the Lakeland Hills area, were involved
in the review process, and concur with the proposed
changes.
Mr. Tinner also stated that the secondary addresses were
not assigned by the City, which does not allow alphabetic
characters in secondary addressing. The secondary
addresses were recorded in Pierce County and are now in
the official recorded records.
Councilmember Backus inquired what constitutes a
significant delay and response time and also whether the
City is correcting the secondary alpha numeric addresses.
Mr. Tinner stated that the City can notify Pierce County that
the alpha numeric addresses are not the addresses
assigned by the City. Mr. Tinner suggested that the
emergency responders address the question on the
classification of a significant delay.
Page 6
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes April 16, 2007
Mayor Lewis stated that the issues of significant delay have
been left to the judgment of the City's public safety officers.
Anomalies on street names exist throughout the City due to
various reasons, including annexations. Public safety
officers determined that it is safer to use the choices they
have provided this evening regarding the proposed address
changes.
Andrea Crabtree, 860 63~d Street SE, Auburn
Ms. Crabtree urged Council to correct all addressing rather
than only some of the addressing issues in the Lakeland
Hills area.
No one else requested to speak.
Mayor Lewis closed the public hearing at 8:07 p.m.
B. Audience Participation
This is the place on the agenda where the public is invited to speak
to the City Council on any issue. Those wishing to speak are
reminded to sign in on the form provided.
Judi Roland, 30724 Green River Road, Auburn
Ms. Roland stated that she is a Board member of the White River
Valley Museum. Ms. Roland requested that Council support
resolutions regarding the Preserve America designation and also
extension of the Mary Olson Farm lease. Ms. Roland presented a
gift of blackberry jam made from berries produced at the Mary
Olson Farm.
Mildred Warwick, 25 Pike Street NE, Auburn
Ms. Warwick stated that she received a parking ticket for a vehicle
parked on a public street with expired license tabs on April 4, 2007.
She indicated that she spoke with the officer issuing the ticket with
regard to receiving a warning of the infraction. Ms. Warwick stated
that the officer responded that ignorance of law is no excuse and
that he was obligated to issue the citation once he began writing it.
She asked to move her vehicle onto her property and the officer
refused her request. Ms. Warwick inquired regarding City policy on
issuance of a warning
City Attorney Heid stated the every police department must have
standards of operation. It is not uncommon for the standards to
Page 7
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes Agril 16, 2007
state that once the writing of a ticket is commenced, it should not
be stopped. Potential problems could occur if standards were not
in place to provide fairness to all citizens. City Attorney Heid stated
that Ms. Warwick has the opportunity to address the court
regarding her ticket. Standards are in place so that every officer
operates in the same manner.
Police Chief Kelly stated that standards are in place to maintain
integrity throughout the department. City of Auburn Police
Standards state that once a citation is started for a valid violation, it
must be completed and issued. Citations are audited and the
standards are in place to maintain the integrity of the audit system.
Additionally, moving or driving a vehicle with expired tabs on a
public roadway is traffic offense.
Ms. Warwick expressed her .displeasure regarding her citation and
requested that the City develop standards regarding issuance of
warnings.
Virginia Haugen, 2503 R Street SE, Auburn
Ms. Haugen distributed a petition to the City Clerk containing fifty-
two signatures requesting that the City of Auburn replace the
