City of Auburn
1996 Legislative Agenda
The following issues comprise the City of Auburn's primary concerns during the 1996 legislative
session. As legislation develops during the session, the City anticipates that there may be a need
to shift attention to emerging issues.
Finance
1 Imposition of requirements or additional obligations that are not adequately funded by the
promulgating authority will be opposed.
2. Erosion of cities' financial support base will be strongly resisted.
3 Efforts to reduce local gambling tax options will be opposed.
4 Efforts to reestablish required contractual funding arrangements for public health services
will be strongly opposed.
5 Reasonable property tax reform to address concerns over the existing state property tax
system should be pursued.
Human Services/Housing
6. Sufficient state funding must be provided to offset anticipated reductions in Federal
funding of social and housing services, such as in Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and other programs.
7 A means needs to be developed to ensure the equitable distribution statewide of the siting
of low-income housing, community residential centers, and other services for citizens
experiencing difficulties with mental illness, substance abuse, and/or other challenges.
8. A dedicated regional funding source for the construction and preservation of housing for
low- and moderate-income citizens needs to be pursued.
Public Safety
9 Clarifications should be made in State laws governing mutual aid agreements related to
"other emergency services,"to ensure that "other services" include specialized types of
assistance such as hazardous materials and other special operations (diving, etc.).
10. Legislation is needed to provide local governments administrative inspection warrant
authority on the basis of reasonable good cause standard of proof.

11 Local authority to create and operate municipal courts should be maintained.
12. State financial assistance should be pursued for the King County Drug Court, which
provides for diversion of drug possession (not sales) offenders from the court system into drug
rehabilitation programs.
13 A reasonable, Constitutionally-appropriate solution should be devised to ensure that
diagnosed sexual predators who are likely to reoffend are appropriately treated and managed.
Regulatory Reform/Growth Management
14 Efforts should continue to achieve regulatory reform without diminishing local
jurisdictions' authority and responsiblity for land use decisions within their communities.
15 Legislation to facilitate annexations in order to implement the Growth Management Act
should be pursued.
16. Elimination of the prohibition against amending local Comprehensive Plans more than
once per year should be pursued, to address unanticipated significant events.
17 Local authority and responsibility for determination of appropriate methods of water
supply planning and governance should be maintained.
18. The appropriate role and responsibilities of the Growth Management Hearings
Boards should be examined and clarified by legislation as needed.
Transportation
19 State assistance with development and funding of equitable multi-modal solutions to
congestion problems in the Puget Sound region (HOV lanes, high capacity transit) should be
pursued.
20 Efforts to require cities to be solely responsible for sidewalk repairs and maintenance
should be resisted.
Tribal Issues
21 Legislation should be considered to establish reasonable methods by which development
on tribal land pays a"fair share" of costs associated with the provision of services and mitigation
of impacts to infrastructure provided by local and state governments.
22. Legislation should be developed to establish an enforceable age limit for tribal
gambling facilities, in order to prohibit the admission of juveniles to those facilities.
