Prior to the Discussion portion of the agenda, Chair Peloza offered former Councilmember Haugen an
opportunity to address the Committee. Ms. Haugen expressed her personal support for and enjoyment
of the Auburn Ave Theater and requested that should there be funds available in the future the support of
the Muni Services Committee towards preservation and/or restoration of the building would be
appreciated.
A. Redflex Program Financial Information (Coleman)
Finance Director Coleman presented an annual report regarding the financial portion of the
Redflex Program. From a functional perspective, as outlined in the annual report provided by the
Police Department at the January 23 meeting, the program is succeeding in terms of public
education and safety. Currently, the invoices billed monthly from Redflex to the City exceed the
amount of revenue generated and paid to the City from fines. The City's contract with Redflex
limits the payment on those invoices to the revenues collected in a given month. There is currently
Page 2 of 4
CA.0
a deficit balance of amounts paid to Redflex as the fines generated under the program are less
than the monthly billings. Should the revenues generated from the fines exceed the monthly
amount invoiced, those amounts will be applied to previous months where the revenue fell short of
the invoices amount.
The City has, additionally, applied costs to the amount of staff time used monthly to administer the
program. Should the program be discontinued, the staff time will be allocated to other
program/projects in the City. As an additional note, should revenues from the Redflex program
exceed all invoiced amounts not paid and the program costs allocated for staff costs, those
revenues would then be used for traffic calming projects in the neighborhoods.
Member Wales discussed her concern, based on negative comments received from individuals in
the community, regarding the signage on intersections that are not monitored by a camera. She
requested this topic be added to the agenda for the March 26 meeting so that it could be
discussed more fully at that time.
B. Animal Control Services Financial Report (Coleman)
Finance Director Coleman presented the 2011 financial status of the Regional Animal Control
Services with King County. King County has not yet completed its audit however, the City
anticipates an estimated refund of $38,420.00 sometime in June 2012.
C. Fireworks - General Discussion
Chair Peloza presented a handout he prepared and City Attorney Dan Heid distributed the full
Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Ordinance related to fireworks. Vice Chair Osborne noted that the
fireworks hotspots in the Police Department fireworks report for 2011 are Auburn citizens calling
911 related to other Auburn citizens in their neighborhoods who are not in compliance with the city
ordinance. In addition, there are numerous calls to 911 related to the vendor displays and
discharge times for the general public on the reservation.
A meeting with the MIT was scheduled through the Mayor's office for Wednesday, February 22 to
discuss potential solutions to fireworks citizen complaints.

Item 10P - remove the last sentence in the Status column. Add new reminder to discuss signage
at intersections which are not monitored by a camera.
