I. Introduction, Summary:
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for the
City of Auburn, Washington, for program year 2011 is a report to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on the City's activities
and accomplishments using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds. The City of Auburn (hereinafter referred to as the City) combines its
CDBG funds with its general funds to support human service activities and human
service planning and administration; this planning is detailed in the City’s
Consolidated Plan and in its Annual Action Plan and correlated with the CAPER.
On November 1, 2010 the Auburn City Council passed Resolution Number 4652
adopting the 2011 Action Plan for the City of Auburn's Consolidated Plan for
Years 2010 to 2014. The 2011 Action Plan was based on an estimated, combined
human service budget of $1,000,000; out of which $450,000 were CDBG funds,
$550,000 were City of Auburn general funds.
On July 21, 2011 HUD informed the City that its 2011 Action Plan was approved
and funded with $418,755.
This Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) will
explain in more detail where CDBG funds were spent. The CAPER will assess
how that spending addresses the housing and community development goals that
the City set forth in its Consolidated Plan for Years 2010 to 2014.
II. Assessment of Goals and Strategies:
A. Housing and Homeless Prevention Strategies
Activities funded by the City through its contracts with local agencies to promote
affordable housing and prevent homelessness are part of its goal to assure Auburn
residents have sufficient food to eat and a roof overhead. The following are
activities that received CDBG funds relative to this goal.
• CDBG funds were used to make sure Auburn residents have access to
emergency assistance in the event that they become homeless.
Specifically, CDBG funds were used for the following:
o In an effort to help retired couples and senior citizens stay in
affordable housing, the City uses its CDBG funds to make home
repairs for low-income and primarily senior homeowners.
B. Livable Communities Strategies
The City uses its CDBG funds to help achieve the national objective of providing or
maintaining a suitable living environment; particularly for its low income residents.
Towards this end, the City uses its CDBG funds for the following:
• Support a regional network of community health services that provide
basic health care to low-income residents. The City provides CDBG
PH.1
funds to HealthPoint of King County (formerly Community Health
Centers) for primary medical and dental care to low-income, uninsured
residents at facilities located in Auburn.
• Establish a youth drop-in center by providing funds to Auburn Youth
Resources for acquisition of facility.
• Make improvements to Shaughnessy Park in south Auburn that impact
the livable condition of a largely low-income census tract.
C. Economic Development Strategies
The City of Auburn strives to help potential entrepreneurs obtain the business skills
they need to start and sustain a business and develop jobs. Towards this end, the
City provides the Small Business Assistance Center of Green River Community
College funding to provide training and counseling to individuals starting
businesses.
D. Other Actions: Neighborhood Revitalization:
The City of Auburn uses its CDBG funds to preserve and/or revitalize low and
moderate income neighborhoods. CDBG funds for planning and administration
are used to work with neighborhood groups to identify local needs and develop
plans to address those needs. Additional CDBG funds are used for the following:
• Develop neighborhood plans so that low income neighborhoods can
become eligible for consideration as local investment areas.
• Increase neighborhood property values, increase the length of time
residents reside in neighborhood, increase number of owner-occupied
units and improve sustainability of the entire neighborhood by
installing public infrastructure such as curbs, sidewalks, street lights
and curb cuts for wheelchairs.
E. Continuum of Care Strategies / Reduction in Poverty Strategies
The City of Auburn provides a Continuum of Care primary through two channels.
First, the City participates in the King County HOME Consortium, which sets
policy direction and distributes HOME and McKinney funds throughout the
County. On a local level, the City funds programs – both through the General Fund
and with CDBG – that help prevent homelessness and address emergency and
transitional housing needs. In addition to CDBG funded activities described in this
CAPER, the following examples of general fund activities likewise help reduce
poverty and homelessness in Auburn:
• The City provides $56,500 of general funds to feed and care for over
10,000 Auburn residents.
• The City provides general fund support to provide emergency housing
to over 400 homeless adults and children.
• The City provides ACAP Child and Family Services funds to subsidize
PH.1
the childcare of over 40 low-income, Auburn families.
• The City provides over $90,000 of general fund support for services to
victims of domestic violence.
F. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing:
The City complies in accordance with its "Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing Choice" (AI) as required for CDBG entitlement communities. As a
result of the AI and the public response to it, the consultant—a partner in this
effort throughout the county—who prepared the AI identified three
impediments and made three initial recommendations. The recommendations
were:
• Expand current education and outreach efforts;
• Continue ongoing enforcement activities by holding responsible those
able to make improvements in this area; and
• Target homeownership and lending marketing to all citizens of all
backgrounds.
The City continues to implement the recommendations in the AI. For instance,
among other actions, the City is inserting the Fair Housing logo onto its human
service and housing planning documents as a means to publicize Fair Housing
and the City's commitment to it. The City has made publications promoting Fair
Housing available at City Hall, Senior Center, and other public gathering places.
A link to Fair Housing information has been placed on the City’s website as a
resource to residents as well. The City continues to monitor compliance with the
Fair Housing Act. Complaints are referred to the Washington State Human
Rights Commission for resolution. No fair housing complaints were filed against
the City in 2011 nor did the City make any referrals of alleged complaints to the
Washington State Human Rights Commission.
G. Leveraging Resources
CDBG appropriated by the City are sometimes used to leverage other public and
private funding resources. For instance, in 2011 CDBG funds were used to
leverage:
• Through the leveraged matching funds of the City of Auburn’s general
fund, the human services budget exceeded $1 million that went to meet
the goals and strategies of the City’s Consolidated Plan.
H. Self-Evaluation
During their review of the CAPER, the Human Service Committee agreed that
the City is implementing the strategies contained in the Consolidated Plan. The
City has remained in compliance with the ‘Timeliness of Expenditure’ guidelines
as prescribed by HUD. The City intends to remain in compliance, while
adjusting project selection and monitoring to include provisions for the increased
timelines due to response to environmental regulations (ESA and Lead Paint).
PH.1
Public service activities are within their intended schedule. Furthermore, the
City continues to publicize its Housing Repair Program so as to increase the
number of clientele served each year.

Annual Performance Evaluation Report is required by HUD and simply is reporting
on the action that Council took to designate funds in the 2011 Action Plan, a
report saying those funds were expended or in the process of being of expended
on the projects that Council has already approved. Manager Hursh commented
that work has begun on all of those activities and described the highlights in the
draft document and how the funds were spent. Manager Hursh stated a City
Council public hearing on the CAPER is scheduled for March 19, 2012.
Motion Carried Unanimously. 3-0.
IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Ordinance No. 6400 (Coleman)
Committee to review and discuss draft Ordinance No. 6400, amending
Ordinance No. 6339, the 2011-2012 Biennial Budget Ordinance as
amended by Ordinance No. 6351, Ordinance No. 6352, Ordinance No.
6362, Ordinance No. 6370, Ordinance No. 6378 and Ordinance No. 6379
authorizing amendment to the City of Auburn 2011-2012 Budget as set forth
in Schedule "A"
Financial Planning Manager Martin Chaw presented the proposed budget
Amendment No. 7 to the biennial budget. Manager Chaw stated this Ordinance
went through the Finance Committee and the Public Works Committee on March
5, 2012, and after this Committee’s review will return to the Finance Committee for
final read before it goes to Council. Financial Manager Chaw stated this
amendment, if approved, would recognize the spending authority needed to
complete commitments in 2011 but not yet completed; the majority of these
pertain to the City’s capital improvement program. Financial Manager Chaw
described the projects that would be funded in this budget amendment and
operating expenses carried forward primarily in the General Fund and both pertain
to professional services and equipment purchases. Financial Manager Chaw
stated there is a new fund being created, a Golf Course Debt Service Fund, which
proposes to move the debt service out of the Golf Course Operating Fund and into
its own debt service fund. The last amendment is for the cemetery program which
proposes to move $200,000 from the Cumulative Reserve Fund to the Cemetery
Fund to help address anticipated cash flow needs in 2012.
B. Resolution No. 4796 (Carlaw/Thorn)
Committee to review Resolution No. 4796 regarding the 2012 Stormwater
Management Program.
Water Quality Projects Coordinator Chris Thorn presented the City’s Stormwater
Management Program. Projects Coordinator Thorn stated the City was issued a
Page 2 of 5
PCD.1
municipal stormwater permit by the State Department of Ecology in 2007, a five-
year permit which expired in February 2012, and is currently operating under the
requirements of Washington Administrative Code which says we will continue
under the existing permit until a new one is issued. The plan is to issue two new
permits in August 2012: one is a one-year permit which is a continuation of the
existing permit for another year, and the second permit is a five-year permit
effective in 2013. One of the requirements of the municipal permit is a Stormwater
Management Program which outlines what is proposed for the upcoming year to
implement the requirements of the municipal permit. Projects Coordinator Thorn
stated that what is being brought forward now is the Stormwater Management
Program which is currently in a two-week public comment period that will
culminate at the Council meeting on March 19, 2012, with a public hearing. Once
the Stormwater Management Program has been approved, it will be included with
Public Works annual report submitted to the Department of Ecology by March
31.
C. Phase II Zoning Code Updates - Group 2 (Wagner)
Committee to review policy questions related to the Phase II, Group 2
Zoning Code Updates inclusive of non-residential zoning districts.
Planner Stuart Wagner presented the Committee with policy questions for
discussion and direction related to the Phase II, Group 2 Zoning Code Update,
inclusive of non-residential zoning districts:
1. Multi-family dwellings in the C3, Heavy Commercial Zone. The Committee
discussed various mixed use concepts and designs including consideration for
horizontal and vertical mixed use and possible developer incentives. Member
Holman stated he is in favor of mixed use neighborhoods; Vice-Chair Partridge
expressed he is comfortable with the way it is right now because the market is
determining how the property can be used. Chair Backus stated how much C3
and how much C1 property is available for development currently might help the
Committee determine how to move forward. Planning Manager Chamberlain
provided a zoning map to assist the Committee in the discussion. The Committee
would like to study this and come back for additional discussion.
2. General Retail. Chair Backus stated she liked the idea of a variety of types
without trying to provide an exhaustive list and not to second guess or place
limitations on the creativity of a developer. Planning Director Snyder added that
this approach also allows a greater flexibility of interpretation while still being
consistent with the overall intent. The Committee had no further questions or
comments.
3. Outdoor Storage in the M2, Heavy Industrial Zone. The Committee discussed
whether this type of use should remain as stand-alone or allowed if incidental to a
principal use. Vice-Chair Partridge likes the idea of a outdoor storage if it is not the
sole use of the land but connected to the primary use or an affiliated site that may
not be on site or adjacent to the primary site. Chair Backus suggested allowing a
certain percentage of an active site to be used for storage at a different location.
Page 3 of 5
PCD.1
Planning Director Snyder asked, knowing that we have very limited M2 zoned
land, if the Committee sees value in the use of that land for storage purposes only
without some attendant use. Planning Director Snyder added that from staff’s
perspective it seems an underutilization of land because the City is not realizing
the true value of that land; the market is not seeing the opportunity in the land
because it is being used for storage of equipment, vehicles, containers,
etc. Committee would like to see a change in the current code to allow outdoor
storage if connected with a permitted use but not as a stand-alone use.
4. Future Hospital. Chair Backus stated the hospital zone is a topic for
consideration for the Council Retreat. Planning Manager Chamberlain clarified
that hospital use is allowed in all our commercial zones (C1, C3 DUC) except
neighborhood commercial (CN), but they are not allowed in M1, M2, or
Institutional. Staff would like to know if the Committee would be interested in
expanding the zoning for hospitals and limiting zoning in some other areas. The
Committee was in agreement that they would like the Planning Commission to
look into this and come back to the Committee with recommendations.
5. Outdoor Display and Sales. Planner Wagner described some of the concerns
related to outdoor displays and sales: the advertising of products, too much
merchandise, and public safety issues. Planner Wagner stated that the zoning
code currently does not list outdoor display and sales as a separate use but rather
as a development standard. Planner Wagner added that in discussions with
retailers, this is something they want. Planning Director Snyder gave an example
of a new business, Coastal Farm and Ranch that approached the city because all
their sites elsewhere have permanent, outdoor, year-round storage and display
areas (12,000 to 19,000 sq. ft.) which customers expect of them. At Chair Backus’
request, staff will bring back photos of Coastal Farm and Ranch’s outdoor displays
from their other locations and discuss this topic further.
6. Motor Freight Transportation. Vice-Chair Partridge said he likes the
recommendation from the motor freight operators; their request for a zoning code
amendment appears to be reasonable. Planner Wagner noted that policies in the
Comprehensive Plan state that this use is not intended for long-term within the
industrial zones. If this type of use remains in the zoning code, then these types
of truck terminals may be permitted. The Committee also discussed whether there
is a way to permit the existing truck terminals but not permit new ones in the
future.
Chair Backus asked if this would be considered spot zoning. Planning Director
Snyder responded that the zoning code can be written in a way that recognizes a
certain condition and if that condition is maintained, it does not go into a non-
conforming status as long as the line of continuity of use is not broken. Planning
Director Snyder stated that recognizing these businesses have invested and
brought value to the community may be something the Committee wants to
consider but then not permit new truck terminals in the future.
Page 4 of 5
PCD.1
It was the consensus of the Committee to restrict continued introduction of these
uses into the community. Staff will create a foundation for the existing operators in
the code. The Committee asked that staff also look into how expansions for the
existing businesses would be addressed.
D. Director's Report (Snyder)
In the interest of time, there was not a Director’s Report.
E. PCDC Status Matrix (Snyder)
There were no questions concerning the matrix.
V. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Planning and Community
Development Committee, Chair Norman adjourned the meeting at 5:30 p.m.

IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Utility Rate Discussion (Coleman/Chaw/Repp)
Financial Planning Manager Chaw explained that following the last Public
Works Committee Meeting, at the request of the Committee, staff has taken
some time to break down the decline in sewer revenues. Staff reviewed
both local and statewide past econometric factors to try and form an
educated guess as to the factors (weather, conservation, and economy)
contributing to the revenue’s decline. Chaw stated that staff examined
factors such as rainfall and weather, which affect consumers’ water
usage. Staff also examined citywide taxable sales, per capita income, non-
single family water usage, and the U.S. GDP as contributing factors.
The Committee and staff reviewed the Sewer Utility Rate Revenue
Requirements graph distributed by Financial Planning Manager Chaw.
Financial Planning Manager Chaw reported that staff has also reviewed a
study conducted by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) on the
elasticity of water pricing and the factors contributing to the decline in
revenues for water. Chaw stated that the study’s basic conclusion was that
there are many factors affecting water usage but trying to identify the
relative contributions of each factor was very difficult.
Financial Planning Manager Chaw and Mayor Lewis addressed questions
asked by Vice-Chair Peloza regarding how the increase in precipitation,
weather and economic conditions affected water usage.
Page 2 of 7
PW.1
Financial Planning Manager Chaw stated that 2010 was the year that the
City lost one of its wholesale water purchasers, in response to a question
asked by Member Osborne. Member Osborne pointed out that the year with
the highest amount of rainfall, 2010, was also the year with the highest
amount of non-single family water usage. Mayor Lewis stated that staff is
looking into the anomaly. Director Dowdy pointed out that Boeing has been
decreasing their water usage due to their programs to recycle their plant
water.
The Committee agreed that the proposed increase, although difficult, is
necessary and can be justified. Chairman Wagner stated that the
commitment that needs to be made is to complete a Cost of Service Study
within the next year, and potentially adjust the rates in accordance to that
study.
Chairman Wagner proposed that the Committee move forward to
recommend that Council approve the proposed utility rate increases at the
last Committee Meeting in April 2012 and committee to conducting a Cost
of Service Study for all of the utilities. The Committee agreed.
Mayor Lewis confirmed the schedule for moving the ordinance forward, in
response to a question asked by Member Osborne.
Vice-Chair Peloza went over some of his calculations on the proposed rates
for the water and sewer utilities.
B. Ordinance No. 6400 (Coleman)
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
amending Ordinance No. 6339, the 2011-2012 Biennial Budget Ordinance
as amended by Ordinance No. 6351, Ordinance No. 6352, Ordinance No.
6362, Ordinance No. 6370, Ordinance No. 6378 and Ordinance No. 6379
authorizing amendment to the City of Auburn 2011-2012 Budget as set forth
in Schedule "A"
Financial Planning Manager Chaw explained that there are typically three
budget amendments every year, and Ordinance No. 6400, if approved, will
introduce and adopt budget amendment number 7, the first amendment in
2012. The budget amendment will recognize the spending authority for
commitments that the City made in 2011 and has not yet spent and will
carry the amounts over to 2012.
Financial Planning Manager Chaw reviewed some of the projects for which
the funds are being carried over to 2012 from 2011.
Mayor Lewis confirmed that there were funds remaining for the Airport
runway lighting project which are being carried forward and assigned to
another project, in response to inquiries made by Vice-Chair Peloza and
Member Osborne.
Page 3 of 7
PW.1
Financial Planning Manager Chaw answered questions asked by Chairman
Wagner regarding the fund balance for the 103 fund and the 505 fund.
Vice-Chair Peloza asked for the total amount of the carry over for
construction projects from 2011 to 2012. Chaw answered that the amount is
$21.2M of appropriations are being carried over from 2011.
Financial Planning Manager Chaw explained that one of the reasons why
the Golf Course is running at a loss is due to the decline in rounds played
and one of the ways to mitigate the loss is to move the debt service out of
the operations cost center and into a debt service cost center, in response
to a question asked by Vice-Chair Peloza. Mayor Lewis stated that doing so
will provide a more accurate account of the performance of the Golf Course.
Financial Planning Manager Chaw answered questions regarding the
request to increase the budget for the City’s unemployment insurance line
item, asked by Member Osborne.
The Committee and Financial Planning Manager reviewed the budget
amendment totals. Director Dowdy spoke about the obligation of grant
funds.
Mayor Lewis stated that there need to be upgrades made to the audio/video
equipment in Council Chambers, in response to a question asked by Vice-
Chair Peloza.
C. NPDES II 2011 Annual Report (Carlaw/Thorn)
Water Quality Coordinator Thorn explained that the public review and
comment period of the City’s Storm Water Management Program is
beginning. The document must be updated yearly as one of the
requirements of the municipal stormwater permit which was issued by the
Department of Ecology.
Chairman Wagner asked if the state is planning to reduce the requirements
for the permit. Water Quality Coordinator Thorn answered that it is not yet
certain if the requirements will change. The 5-year permit was issued in
2007 and expired in February 2012 and under state law, the City must
operate under the requirements of the previous permit until the new permit
is issued. The programs started under the last permit will continue for the
remainder of 2012. Water Quality Coordinator Thorn stated that the state is
planning to issue a 1-year permit in August 2012 and a 5-year permit in
August 2013.
Chairman Wagner and Mayor Lewis spoke about sending the City’s
concerns regarding the permit and clean water requirements to the state
legislature.
Page 4 of 7
PW.1
Water Quality Coordinator Thorn responded to questions asked by
Chairman Wagner regarding the requirements for the Total Maximum Daily
Load (TMDL). Thorn explained that the state has assigned how much as a
particular parameter each jurisdiction can released to a water body. Water
Quality Coordinator Thorn stated that there is a requirement to monitor the
discharge from Mill Pond to the White River. Thorn stated that the
monitoring requirements will not change with the proposed 1-year
permit. There are additional beside fecal chloroform TMDLs that the state is
working to implement.
Water Quality Coordinator Thorn responded to questions asked by
Chairman Wagner regarding how staff monitors best program practice
management.
Water Quality Coordinator Thorn briefed the Committee on the City’s car
wash kit program. Thorn reported that in 2011, the City provided Jiffy Lube
on Auburn Way N a car wash kit for them to keep on site, as it is a very
popular location for charity car washed to be held. Thorn explained that the
program has been revised so that kits are not check out until staff has
reviewed the location of the car wash to make sure the kit will work on the
site. Chairman Wagner recommended loaning kits to more businesses.
The Committee and staff discussed possible ways to prevent elicit
discharge into the storm drains during car wash events.
D. Parking Ordinance (Dowdy/Heid)
Vice-Chair Peloza stated that he and Member Osborne had reviewed
Ordinance No. 6404 at the Municipal Services Committee Meeting.
The Committee supported introduction and adoption of Ordinance No. 6404
regarding parking large vehicles in residential zones.
E. Capital Project Status Report (Gaub)
Item 10 – C207A – A street NW Corridor – Phase 1: Assistant City Engineer
Gaub verified the funding amounts in response to an inquiry from Vice-
Chair Peloza.
Item 12 – CP1116 – Downtown Pedestrian Lighting
Replacement: Chairman Wagner asked if the April finish date will be
met. Assistant City Engineer Gaub answered that the scope of the project
includes replacing the streetlights on Main Street on the existing
foundations. The materials for the project are currently being procured, the
poles are being built. Assistant City Engineer Gaub stated once the poles
are delivered the project will not take long to complete the installation of the
poles.
Page 5 of 7
PW.1
Member Osborne verified that local businesses will be notified prior to the
period when parking will be restricted, during installation of the
poles. Assistant City Engineer Gaub confirmed that to be correct.
Item 17 – CP0915 - Well 1 Improvements – Transmission Lines: Assistant
City Engineer Gaub stated that the goal is to get the project under
construction while M Street SE is closed and there is less traffic, in
response to a question asked by Chairman Wagner regarding the project’s
finish date.
Item 19 – CP1112 – 2011/2012 Sidewalk Improvement Project: Assistant
City Engineer Gaub stated that a vicinity map of the locations included in
the project’s scope of work was presented to the Committee in 2011 and
verified that one of the locations is Harvey Road, between 8th Street NE
and Auburn Way N.
Vice-Chair Peloza asked when the interim repair work will begin on the
sidewalks on Harvey Road. Mayor Lewis answered, probably when the
weather is drier. Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle pointed out that staff
has been focusing on cleanup efforts following the January storms.
The Committee and staff discussed building sidewalks in the Les Gove
Campus area and that communitie's previous response to a proposed LID,
following an inquiry made by Member Osborne.
Item 23 & 24 – CP1118 & CP1119 – Auburn Way South Corridor
Improvements: Chairman Wagner asked why the project cannot be
completed sooner. Assistant City Engineer Gaub answered that the Fir
Street to Hemlock Street portion of the project includes a significant amount
of environmental work and the Dogwood Street to Fir Street portion is
federally funded and that also slows down the process.
Assistant City Engineer Gaub pointed out that the project also includes
Right-of-Way acquisition which can extend the time to complete the project.
F. Activities Matrix (Dowdy)
Item B – Street Lighting: Director Dowdy reported that the City has just
received more data from PSE and the GIS staff is currently analyzing the
data and there is field work that needs to be completed. Director Dowdy
confirmed that staff is planning to bring the topic to the Committee for
discussion in mid to late April.
Director Dowdy spoke about the quality of the data being gathered and the
benefits to the customers.
Item D – Transportation Benefit District: Director Dowdy addressed

III. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Resolution No. 4804 (Rempher)
2012 Regional Aerial Mapping Funding Agreement
Information Services Director Rempher reported that the City had planned to
perform a small portion of the aerial mapping project in 2012 at a cost of $20,000;
however, through partnering with King County and local agencies, the City was
able to acquire high resolution aerial imagery for the entire city at a cost of
approximately $25,800. The aerial mapping is the basis for the citywide GIS
system and is a critical tool used by all City departments. The last imagery was
performed in 2007.
B. Resolution No. 3417 - Membership in Professional Organizations and Local
Civic and Service Organizations (Heid)
Committee members discussed previous Resolution No. 3417 relating to
membership in professional organizations and local civic and service
organizations.
Chair Partridge noted that at their last meeting, the Committee discussed the
resolution and the policy that allows the City to pay for City officials to participate
in civic and community organizations.
Member Wales expressed her concern to allow payment for service organization
dues and meals for Councilmembers.
Mayor Lewis commented that the policy was implemented in order to provide
another avenue of leadership training for employees and to engage employees in
their city.
Vice Chair Holman stated that he sees a distinct difference between City staff and
elected officials as it relates to the policy. He expressed opposition to the City
paying for elected officials' meals while attending service club meetings.
It was consensus of the Committee members to amend the resolution to exclude
elected officials from payment of dues and meals for service and fraternal
organizations. Dues and meals will continue to be paid for elected officials at
meetings of the Chamber of Commerce and similar meetings where the official is
Page 2 of 5
FN.1
representing the City. City Attorney Heid will prepare a draft resolution for the
Committee's future review.
C. Ordinance No. 6404 (Heid)
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
amending Section 10.36.190 of the Auburn City Code and creating a new
Section 10.36.193 of the Auburn City Code relating to parking in residential
zones
City Attorney Heid explained that Ordinance No. 6404 was prepared in response
to the parking concerns voiced at the last City Council meeting. The ordinance
would restrict parking larger vehicles on streets in residential neighborhoods.
Larger vehicles are defined as more than 10,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight
(GVW) other than pick-up trucks not more than 14,000 pounds GVW. This would
allow parking larger vehicles along principal arterials and minor arterials even in
residential areas, and it would allow larger vehicles to be parked in areas where
mixed residential and non-residential uses are permitted, and where one side of
the road may permit non-residential uses even if the other side does not.
Chief Lee indicated no difficulty in enforcing the ordinance.
D. Resolution No. 4806 (Heid)
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
supporting the Auburn Transportation Benefit District's Bond Measure
City Attorney Heid explained that state law allows City Councils to collectively
express support or opposition to a ballot proposition at an open public meeting. At
the meeting, members of the public must be afforded an equal opportunity to
express an opposing view.
Resolution No. 4806 expresses the Council's support of the Auburn
Transportation Benefit District's Proposition No. 1 appearing on the April 17, 2012
ballot relating to the issuance of $59,000,000 in general obligation bonds for the
purpose of financing transportation improvements.
E. Reid Middleton Agreement (Coleman)
City Council approve an Agreement with Reid Middleton to develop/update
a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the Auburn Municipal
Airport.
Environmental Protection Manager Andersen explained that the Agreement for
Professional Services with Reid Middleton is for engineering services for the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan project at the Auburn Municipal Airport.
The Airport is currently covered under the National Pollutant Elimination System
(NPDES) Industrial Stormwater General Permit. An update of the Airport's
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is required as part of the NPDES permit
requirements.

enterprise fund to operate within its current level of revenues. Golf Course debt
will be funded through inter-fund transfers from the General Fund.
There was brief discussion regarding golf course revenues.
In response to questions from Member Wales regarding the Cemetery Fund.
Mayor Lewis stated that the budget amendment for the Cemetery Fund is for the
purpose of cash flow management, enabling the fund to meet anticipated cash
flow needs during the remainder of 2012.

Re: Ordinance 6400 - 2012 Budget Amendment #7
Attached is proposed budget amendment #7 for your review. At the end of 2011, some construction
projects, consulting services, and purchases of furniture and supplies remain outstanding. Carryforward of
the budget authority from 2011 to 2012 is necessary to enable the City to complete these projects. The
following is a description of the significant changes included in this budget amendment.
x Construction Project Carryforwards: Carryforward unspent funding for various transportation,
street preservation, local revitalization and park projects. These carryforwards constitute the
majority of the proposed changes in this budget amendment. Significant projects being carried
forward to 2012 include:
o ts: A. Street NW Extension, W. Valley Highway; M Street Grade
Separation; Local Street and Pavement Preservation projects;
Transportation Projec
Park Projects: Lea Hil

General Fund and total approximately $311,000.
ORD.A
x Golf Course Debt Management: Moves $392,000 in budgeted 2012 debt service payments fro
the Golf Course Fund to a newly established Golf Course Debt Service Fund (Fund #417), and
funds Golf Course Debt by way of inter-fund transfers from the General Fund.
m
serve
ill
The 2012 budget for the Golf Course Fund includes debt service principal and interest payments for
general obligation bonds related to the construction and improvements to the clubhouse. Golf
Course debt service is the second largest cost center for the Auburn Golf Course, behind salaries
and wages. Removal of this cost center will enable the Golf Course enterprise fund to operate
within its current level of revenues, which has declined as a result of the economic recession and
weather conditions.
x Cemetery Cash Flow Management: Authorizes a $200,000 transfer from the Cumulative Re
Fund to the Cemetery Fund for purposes of cash flow management. Approval of this transfer w
increase the working capital of the Cemetery Fund, enabling it to meet anticipated cash flow needs
during the remainder of 2012.
x Unemployment Insurance: Budget for the Insurance Fund is increased by $145,000 to reflect
higher unemployment insurance claim costs. Approval would increase the Fund’s 2012 budget for
unemployment insurance claims to approximately $200,000, which is comparable to actual
expenses in 2011.

Background Summary:
The City of Auburn was issued a municipal stormwater permit by the Washington State
Department of Ecology in compliance with the provisions of the State of Washington
Water Pollution Control Law and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (The Clean
Water Act).
The Permit, which became effective February 16, 2007, and was modified on June 17th,
2009 authorizes the discharge of stormwater to surface and ground waters from
Auburn's storm drainage system. This Permit expired February 15, 2012. In accordance
with Washington Administrative Code the City is required to continue to operate under
the expired Permit until a new Permit becomes effective. Requirements of the Permit
include the development and annual update of a Stormwater Management Program
(SWMP) which details the actions and activities to be implemented by the City in order to
reduce the discharge of pollutants. The SWMP is to include measures related to Public
Education and Outreach, Public Involvement and Participation, Illicit Discharge Detection
and Elimination, Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment and
Construction Sites, and Pollution Prevention and Operation and Maintenance for
Municipal Operations. The Permit lists specific actions and methods that the City must
implement through the SWMP.
The City of Auburn is accepting comments on the draft 2012 Stormwater Management
Program. Written comments must be received by close of business on March 19, 2011.
There will be a public hearing at the March 19th City Council meeting where comments
will also be accepted.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
This document presents the City of Auburn’s Stormwater Management Program (SWMP). Preparation and
maintenance of this SWMP is required by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) as a
condition of the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit (the Phase II Permit). The
Phase II permit covers discharges from regulated small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s).
The permit to discharge stormwater is designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants, protect water quality,
and meet the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act.
Appendix A includes acronyms and definitions from the Permit to help the reader understand the City’s
Stormwater Management Program.
1.2 Regulatory Background
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program is a requirement of the
federal Clean Water Act, which is intended to protect and restore waters for “fishable, swimmable” uses. The
federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has delegated permit authority to state environmental
agencies, and these agencies can set permit conditions in accordance with and in addition to the minimum
federal requirements. In Washington, the NPDES-delegated permit authority is the Washington State
Department of Ecology (Ecology).
In Washington, municipalities with a population of over 100,000 (as of the 1990 census) were designated as
Phase I communities and must comply with Ecology’s Phase I NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit.
Auburn’s 1990 census was below the 100,000 threshold, and the City must comply with the Phase II
Municipal Stormwater Permit. About 100 other municipalities in Washington must also comply with the
Phase II Permit, along with Auburn, as operators of small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s).
Ecology’s Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit is available on Ecology’s website at
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/municipal/phaseIIww/wwphiipermit.html
The Permit allows municipalities to discharge stormwater runoff from municipal drainage systems into the
state’s water bodies (e.g., streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands) as long as municipalities implement programs to
protect water quality by reducing the discharge of “non-point source” pollutants to the “maximum extent
practicable” (MEP) through application of Permit-specified “best management practices” (BMPs). The BMPs
specified in the Permit are collectively referred to as the Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) and
grouped under the following Program components:
Public Education and Outreach
Public Involvement
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Controlling Runoff from Development, Redevelopment, and Construction Sites
Pollution Prevention and Municipal Operation and Maintenance

Monitoring
The Permit issued by Ecology became effective on February 16, 2007, was modified on June 17, 2009 and
expires on February 15, 2012. In 2011 the State Legislature passed and the Governor signed Engrossed
Substitute House Bill 1478 which affected the re-issuance of the updated Municipal Stormwater General
Permits. ESHB 1478 requires Ecology to re-issue the current Phase II permits with no modification in July
2012 for a period of one year, and to re-issue the next updated Phase II permits in July 2012 with an effective
date of August 2013. Until the new permit becomes effective the City will continue to operate under the
existing 2007 permit in accordance with WAC 173-226-220(3). The Permit requires the City to report
annually (March 31st of each year) on progress in SWMP implementation for the previous year. The Permit
also requires submittal of documentation that describes proposed SWMP activities for the coming year. This
document contains the City’s proposed activities for 2012. Implementation of various Permit conditions were
staggered throughout the five-year Permit term from February 16, 2007 through February 15, 2012.
Throughout 2012 the City will continue to implement existing programs and maintenance activities.
1.3 City of Auburn Regulated Area
The Western Washington Phase II Permit applies to operators of regulated small MS4s that discharge
stormwater to waters of Washington State located west of the crest of the Cascade Range (west of the eastern
boundaries of Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, King, Pierce, Lewis and Skamania counties). For cities, the
Permit requirements extend to those areas of each City that drain to MS4s. Most of Auburn drains to MS4s
that ultimately discharge into the Green River, the White River, or Mill Creek. In addition, some portions of
the City drain to regional infiltration basins.
1.4 Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Compliance
The federal Clean Water Act requires that Ecology establish “Total Maximum Daily Loads” (TMDL) for
rivers, streams, lakes, and marine waters that don’t meet water quality standards. A TMDL is a calculation of
the maximum amount of a pollutant that a water body can receive and still meet water quality standards.
After the TMDL has been calculated for a given water body, Ecology determines how much each source
must reduce its discharges of the pollutant in order bring the water body back into compliance with the water
quality standards. The Clean Water Act requires that TMDL requirements must be included in the NPDES
permits for dischargers into the affected water bodies.
Stormwater discharges covered under this permit are required to implement actions necessary to achieve the
pollutant reductions called for in applicable TMDLs. Applicable TMDLs are those approved by the EPA
before the issuance date of the Permit or which have been approved by the EPA prior to the date the
permittee’s application was received by Ecology. Information on Ecology’s TMDL program is available on
Ecology’s website at www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/tmdl.
The current permit does not contain any TMDL requirements for the City of Auburn. However, Ecology
has identified several water bodies that do not appear to meet the water quality standards. Ecology has
developed and the EPA has approved fecal coliform TMDLs for the Puyallup River Watershed. In
accordance with the Ecology approved Quality Assurance Project Plan, Auburn has begun wet weather
stormwater sampling for one wet season (October 2011 through April 2012).
1.5 SWMP Implementation Responsibilities
The Utilities Engineering Division in the Public Works Department coordinates the overall administration of
efforts to comply with Permit requirements. The work plan tables in each Chapter provide the lead
departments for the associated task. Other major departments/divisions included in the 2012 SWMP

implementation include Maintenance and Operations (M&O), Human Resources (HR), Development
Engineering, Permit Center, Information services (IS), and Parks.
1.6 Document Organization
The contents of this document are based upon Permit requirements and Ecology’s “Guidance for City and
County Annual Reports for Western Washington, Phase II Municipal Stormwater General Permits.” The
remainder of this SWMP is organized similarly to the Permit:
Section 2.0 addresses Permit requirements for administering the City’s Stormwater Management
Program for 2012.
Section 3.0 addresses Permit requirements for public education and outreach for 2012.
Section 4.0 addresses Permit requirements for public involvement and participation for 2012.
Section 5.0 addresses Permit requirements for illicit discharge detection and elimination for 2012.
Section 6.0 addresses Permit requirements for controlling runoff from new development,
redevelopment, and construction sites for 2012.
Section 7.0 addresses Permit requirements for pollution prevention and operations and maintenance
for municipal operations for 2012.
Section 8.0 addresses Permit requirements for the monitoring section of the Permit for 2012.
Each section includes a summary of the relevant Permit requirements, a description of current activities, and
a table showing the planned activities for 2012. This document also includes acronyms and definitions from
the Permit in Appendix A for easy reference.

2. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
This section of the SWMP describes Permit requirements related to overall Stormwater Management
Program administration, including descriptions of the City’s current and planned compliance activities for
2012.
2.1 Permit Requirements
The Permit (Section S5.A) requires the City to:
Develop and implement a Stormwater Management Program and prepare written documentation for
submittal to Ecology on March 31, 2008, and update the SWMP annually thereafter. The purpose of
the SWMP is to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the municipal stormwater system to the

8. MONITORING
This section describes the Permit requirements related to water quality monitoring, including descriptions of
the City’s current and planned compliance activities for 2012.
8.1 Permit Requirements
The Permit (Section S8) does not require municipalities to conduct water quality sampling or other testing
during this permit term, with the following exceptions:
Sampling or testing required for characterizing illicit discharges pursuant to the SWMP’s IDDE
conditions.
Water quality monitoring required for compliance with Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
conditions (water quality clean up plans). The current Permit does not require that Auburn perform
TMDL-related monitoring.
Preparing future comprehensive, long-term water quality monitoring plan including two components:
1) stormwater monitoring and 2) targeted Stormwater Management Program effectiveness monitoring.
By the 4th Annual Compliance Report (March 31, 2011), Auburn was required to identify two outfalls
or conveyances where permanent stormwater sampling stations can be installed and operated for
future monitoring. The City is also required to develop plans to monitor stormwater, sediment, and
receiving water for physical, chemical, and/or biological characteristics. One outfall represents high-
density residential land use, and the other commercial land use.
To monitor SWMP effectiveness, the City will need to identify two suitable Program questions and
sites where targeted Program effectiveness monitoring can be conducted and develop a monitoring
plan for these questions and sites. The proposed effectiveness monitoring is required to answer the
following types of questions:
• How effective is a specific targeted action or a narrow suite of actions?
• Is the Stormwater Management Program achieving a targeted environmental outcome?
In addition, the City is required to provide the following monitoring and/or assessment data in each annual
report:
A description of any stormwater monitoring or studies conducted by the City during the reporting
period. If stormwater monitoring was conducted on behalf of the City, or if studies or investigations
conducted by other entities were reported to the City, a brief description of the type of information
gathered or received shall be included in the annual report.
An assessment of the appropriateness of the best management practices identified by the City for each
component of the SWMP; and any changes made, or anticipated to be made, to the BMPs that were
previously selected to implement the SWMP and why.

E. Continwm of Care Strateeies/ReductioninPovertv Strateeies
The City of Aubum provides a Continuum of Care primary through two channels.
First, the City participates in the King County HOME Consortium, which sets
policy di=ection and distributes HOME and McKinney funds throughout the
County. On a locallevel, the Ciry funds programs—both through the GeneralFund

F. Affirmativelv Furtherine Fair Housins:
The City complies in accordance with its "Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing Choice" (.A as =equired for CDBG entitlement communities. As a
result of the AI andthe public response to it, the consultant a partner in this
effort throughout the county—who prepazed the AI identified three
impediments and made three initial recommendations. The recommendations
were:
Expand current education and outreach efforts;
Continueongoing enforcement activities by holding responsible those
able to make improvements in this azea; and
o Tazget homeowaership and lending marketing to all citizens of all
backgrounds.
The City continuesto implement the recommendaYions in the AI. For instance,
among other actions, the Ciry is inserting the Faii Housing logo onto itshuman
service and housing planning documents as a means to publicize Fair Housing
and the City's commitment to it: 1'he City has made publicarions promotingFair
Housingavailable at Ciry Hall, Senior Center, and other public gathering places.
A link to Fair Housing information has been placed on the Ciry's website as a
resource to residents as well. T6e Ciry continues to monitor compliance with the
FairHousing Act. Complaints aze referred to the Washington State Human'
Rights Commission for resolution. No fair housing complaints were filed against
the City in 2011 nor did the City make any refeaals of allegedcomplaints to the
Washington State Humaa Rights Commission.
G. Leveraein¢Resources
CDBG appropriated by the City aze sometimes used to leverage other public and
private funding resources. For instance, in 2011 CDBG funds were used to
leverage:

fund, thehuman services budget exceeded $1 million that went to meet
the goals and strategies of the City's Consolidated Plan.

the City is implementing the strategies contaiaed iri the Consolidated Plan. T'he
City has remained in compliance with the `Timeliness of Expenditure' guidelines
as prescribed by HUD. The City intends to remain in compliance, while
