B. Audience Participation
Mayor Roegner asked citizens attending the Council meeting for a show of
hands if they wanted to make comments regarding the proposed Ordinance
No. 4412 setting golf course fees, and other items on the agenda. Mayor
Roegner noted this was not a formal hearing and asked that comments be
brief.
Auburn Golf Course Fees
F4.3, 04.4.7, A3.6.4.1
Bill Peloza. 1426 Ginkgo Street, Auburn. WA
Mr. Peloza noted this was the fifth meeting he has attended on the
golf course annual fees. He feels annual green fees are a quality way
of life and likened them to Metro bus passes and season tickets to
ball games. Mr. Peloza said paying annual fees means taking a risk,
and putting your money up front. Something may happen and the
purchaser would not get full benefit. He said annual fee users
recommended some options, but none have been given. He also said
senior citizens are not the only ones using annuals, and he thinks the
process used by the Parks Department has been arbitrary, unilateral,
dictatorial, and unfair to the community who has supported the golf
course for the past 40 years.
Linda Wilbourne .3210 37th S.E. #248. Auburn. WA
Ms. Wilbourne said she has used annuals for 5-6 years, and did not
see how those paying annual green fees were taking time from other
golfers. She cannot always get a tee-off time, and often uses the golf
course on rainy days or days otherwise unsuitable to most other
golfers.
Richard Fiedler, 1915 U Street N.E., Auburn, WA
Mr. Fiedler expressed concern that the average player does not get a
chance to play. He said he cannot get a starting time, and goes to
other courses because this course is full. He said he thinks the
Auburn golf course is beautiful but he would like to see some

improvements. The City can only fund improvements by having
more people pay regular fees. He recommended approval of the
ordinance as written.
Bob Knann, 1820 15th N.E.. Auburn. WA
Mr. Knapp said passing the ordinance would cause Auburn to lose
golfers who had been using the course since it was built, and that the
City was not giving them any consideration.
Phyllis Brown. 126 M Street N.E.
Ms. Brown stated she played golf Saturday morning. She said annual
players sign in and that by 1:30 p.m. only 18-19 players had signed
up. She said that was a good indication annual users are not taking
all the time.
Linda Hiffman, Enumclaw, WA
Ms. Hiffman said annual green fees are like a family membership for
a special use such as visits to the Woodland Park Zoo. The only
inequity is that some people cannot pay $650 up front. She asked if
junior and senior rates are an inequity. To enforce equity, the City
should do away with all special rates. She also asked why carts
should not be stored at the golf course. She said the City has chosen
to ignore considerations of these people, and she would like more
kindness.
Joyce Peloza. 1426 Ginkgo St. S.E.. Auburn. WA
Mrs. Peloza said this is not a senior citizen issue, but a people issue.
She said she always felt people could come before this body, be
heard, and have an issue considered. She said she now feels people
can have an opinion, but not have it considered. She said she felt
the real loss is the people with pride in the golf course.
Brian Crain. 32748 111th Place S.E.. Auburn, WA
Mr. Crain introduced himself as a Park Board member. He stated the
Park Board members are unanimous that the annual rate be changed.
He stated the Board has heard, and listened, but respectfully
disagrees. He said the Board does not look at it as a senior citizen
issue, nor a volume issue. The Board feels the change should be
made to be fair to all concerned.
Mayor Roegner asked for comments on any other issues. There were
no requests to make comments on other issues.
Councilmember Burns, Chairman of the Planning and Community
Development Committee, asked that the ordinance on golf course
fees, Ordinance 4412, be considered at this time. The Planning and
Community Development committee considered the ordinance at a
special meeting held tonight prior to the Council meeting. The
Committee passed it 2-1 and recommends that the Council approve
it.

CITY OF AUBURN COUNCIL MEETING
April 2, 1990
Motion by Councilmember Burns, second by Councilmember Brothers
to introduce and adopt Ordinance 4412.
Councilmember Roland commented she is not opposed to the rate
increase but felt consideration should have been given to higher
annual rates with a ceiling so there is extra money to make
improvements. Councilmember Roland also expressed concern that
passing this ordinance will take away future authority from the full
council.
MOTION CARRIED. 4-2.
Councilmembers Kurle and Roland voted no.
C. Correspondence - None.
