C Announcements, Appointments, and Presentations
1 Presentation by Department Directors on Impact of Potential
Annexation of City of Pacific
Mayor Lewis stated as a follow-up to the Council special meeting
on November 30, 2012, Department Directors will be giving
presentations this evening on the impacts of the potential
annexation of the City of Pacific. The Pacific City Council has
recently passed a resolution placing a question on the February
2013 ballot for dissolution of the city The City of Auburn has
been working closely with the City of Pacific Mayor and Council,
and the City of Auburn currently provides Innovation and
Technology services to the City of Pacific by contract. Auburn
has conveyed a willingness to assist the City of Pacific in all ways,
including offering a supervisory/management agreement.

Mayor Lewis advised that the City of Sumner has submitted a
letter of intent to annex the Pierce County portion of Pacific to
the Pierce County Boundary Review Board.
Parks, Arts and Recreation Director Daryl Faber reported that the
City of Pacific has finrelve parks and ten walking/bicycling trails.
Pacific Ciry Park and Blueberry Park are the two largest parks
while the other ten parks are pocket parks befinreen one-quarter
and one-half of an acre in siie and Volunteer Park which is about
five acres. The City of Auburn provides six acres of park per
1,000 residents; however, Pacific is deficient of approximately one
community (10 acre) park. Pacific is also deficient in park quality
The estimated annual maintenance cost of their parks system
is approximately $250,000 and one time expense of
approximately $180,000 would be required for equipment. Pacific
has an 8,000 square foot community center building that is used
in the afternoon by adults and by teens after school. The cost to
operate is approximately $80,000. It appears that the community
center building has deferred maintenance. Pacific also operates a
small senior center of approximately 2,000 square feet that
provides one room programming for seniors and a Meals on
Wheels program.
Director Faber stated that the citizens of Pacific use Auburn's
parks and recreation programs extensively Over the past
year, more than 600 transactions have come from Pacific
residents.
Assistant Director of Human Resources and Risk Management
Rob Roscoe reported on risk management and insurance matters
relating to the potential annexation of the City of Pacific. The City
of Pacific has been,put on notice that their insurance carrier,
Cities Insurance Association of Washington (CIAW), will cancel
liability insurance coverage on December 31, 2012. Significant
liability concems exist depending on when the City of Auburn
would annex and whether or not insurance is in place at the time
of annexation. City of Pacific has a "claims made" policy for
ercors and omissions and employment practices liability
coverage. Claims are covered during the policy year it is in
effect. The statute of limitations for most tort claims is three years
from the date of occurrence. City of Pacific would need to
purchase "tail-coverage" for future claims filed in 2013-2016 for
occurrences that took place in 2012.
Assistant Director Roscoe stated that lack of insurance
jeopardizes the City of Pacific's assets that might be assumed by
Page 2 of 14
Auburn and places their employees' personal assets at risk. Any
debt not secured by insurance would be encumbered by Pacific's
general assets. The City of Aubum's exposure would be limited.
Any new claims for damages are expected to be proportional to
the population being added by the annexation and can be
absorbed administratively
Assistant Director Roscoe stated it is difficult to determine the
condition of their current infrastructure, but once annexation•
occurs, Auburn will have a reasonable opportunity to discover
potential defects before becoming potentially liable.
Staffing analysis would need to be conducted to determine what
staffing increases, if any, would need to take place to provide
curcent level of services. Current union contracts would have to
be reviewed and researched. It is too early to know the impacts
and the current agreements must be read to understand all the
potential impacts as well as understanding staffing levels needed
and any redundancies that could be eliminated.
In response to questions from Council, Mr Roscoe stated that the
City of Pacific has two, but may have as many as four, collec6ve
bargaining agreements. City Attorney Heid reminded that the
Valley Regional Fire Authority would continue to serve the City of
Pacific even if the City of Pacific ceases to exist. The service
boundaries of the Valley Regional Fire Authority were set by a
vote of the service area.
Information and Technology Director Ron Tiedeman reported that
Aubum has been providing support for IT functions for City of
Pacific for over a year The largest impact to staff would be staff
time and data conversion of their existing systems. Currently
Auburn shares two systems with Pacific for police records and
utility billing.
Chief of Police Bob Lee reported that the City of Pacific has
approximately 6,700 citizens with a 2013 budgeted police force of
eleven commissioned officers and two non-commissioned
positions. The commissioned ranks consist of a police chief, one
lieutenant, two sergeants, six patrol officers and one detective.
The non-commissioned staff consists of two record specialists.
The current level of service is 1.63 officers per 1,000 residents;
while the City of Auburn has a level of service of 1 41 officers per
1,000 residents. If annexation occurred, the level of service would
decrease to 1.39 officers per 1,000 residents. The scenario is
based on adding eight commissioned officers and one record
specialist. The deployment plan would be to designate the
Page 3 of 14
geographical boundaries of the City of Pacific as it owns patrol
district.
Chief of Police Lee stated that other impacts or implications of
annexation relate to Valley Communications and addressing
issues (duplicate addressing possibilities) and potential delays in
the CAD Tiburon due to reconfguration; an increased SCORE
budget; challenges in hiring and training staff; patrol operations;
community programs and education; increased case load due to
taking on all active felony and misdemeanor case investigations;
and records where a complete inventory of their evidence room
would be required prior to transferring the items to Aubum Police.
Chief Lee provided estimates of start-up costs and ongoing
annual costs. Ongoing annual costs is approximately $1 4 million.
In response to questions from Council, Chief Lee stated
that Auburn has a crime rate of 56 crimes per 1,000 population
while Pacific has approximately 26 crimes per 1,000 population.
Finance Director Shelley Coleman reported that she reviewed City
of Pacific's most recent budget and financial report.
Approximately 75 percent of the land mass of Pacific is in King
County while the remaining 25 percent is in Pierce County Of the
approximate 6,700 residents of Pacific, only 85 peaple live in the
Pierce County portion of the city
Director Coleman stated that the City of Pacific has modest
reserves and essentially the City lives within its means and has
low debt. In looking at the 2011 Financial Report and the 2012
Budget, there are 28 funds that carry out general govemment
services and provide utilities for its citizens. City of Pacific
receives approximately $3 million in general'fund revenue,
approximately $435 per capita. In comparison, the City of
Auburn's general fund revenue is $709 per capita. The largest
revenues are from property tax, utility tax, and business and
occupation tax. Approximately 30 percent of the property tax
revenue comes from the Pierce County area of Pacific.
Approximately 50 percent of the retail sales tax comes from the
Pierce County portion of Pacific. Director Coleman also estimated
(based on land use) that most of the business and occupation tax
revenue is derived from the Pierce County portion of Pacific.
Director Coleman noted that the City of Auburn's general fund
expenditures are approximately $880 per capita while the City of
Pacific's general fund expenditures are approximately $576 per
capita.
Page 4 of 14
As of December 31, 2012, the City of Pacific debt is about $2.5
million for utility improvements, LID's, capital leases for vehicles,
insurance assessment, and employee leave balances and
accruals. City of Pacific's cash resources include $3.2 million
across funds and another $3.2 in the utility fund.
Director Coleman stipulated that the analysis does not address
capital requirements that may be necessary to bring Pacific's
infrastructure up to par with Auburn's.
Public Works Director Dennis Dowdy presented a prelirninary
assessment of the City of Pacific infrastructure. He agreed with
Finance Director Coleman that the per capita revenues for Pacific
have not been as great as the revenues in Auburn.
One advantage of annexation is the potential for the completion of
the Stewart Road widening project. The Transportation
Improvement Board has yef to �elease funds to Pacific for the $4 7
million widening project until Pacific meets six points of
concern. The TIB grant is equal to 88 percent of the total project
cost.
The disadvantages of annexation include incorporating all of
Pacific's infrastructure in Auburn's Cartegraph and eGIS systems.
Pacific has no known pavement rating system, but it is estimated
that $20-$26 million would be needed to improve Pacific arterials.
Pacific's water system has no apparent issues with source,
treatment and distribution. There are no outstanding compliance
issues with Department of Health. Director powdy stated that
some of Pacific's water system is quite dated, and it is estimated
that 20 percent of the mains are asbestos cement. The condition
of the sewer system is unknown and an inventory of the system
would be needed. The storm drainage system for Pacific is
unknown and their conformance with the NPDES is unknown.
Director powdy stated there are many open storm ditches, and
very few storm drains are evident.
Director powdy stated that Auburn's initial level of service offered
to the residents of the City of Pacific would be hindered due to
the condition and lack of information regarding the Pacific
infrastructure.
Director powdy stated that the difference between the potential
annexation of Pacific and the Lea Hill annexation is the higher
level of service standard provided by King County for roads. In
response to questions from Council, Director powdy advised that
Pacific's primary water source is one well. Pacific also purchases
water from Sumner and the Lakehaven Utility District.
Page 5 of 14
Councilmember Wagner noted that the soil differences between
the Pacific area and the Lea Hill and West Hill annexation areas
impacts the infrastructure needs.
Planning and Development Director Snyder displayed a City of
Pacific zoning map He noted that the portion of Pacific
within King County is highly residential, with small areas of multi-
family residential, public lands, and industrial zoning. The
revenue producing portion of the City of Pacific is primarily in the
Pierce County portion of the city The area of Pacific in Pierce
County is primarily commercial and industrial. Today, the City of
Sumner filed a letter of intent to annex the portion of
Pac�c within Piece County If this were to occur, the annexation
would leave a largely residential portion of Pacific as
unincorporated King County with limited services.
Director Snyder stated that the proposed annexation of Pacific
would have little or no impact on Auburn staffing levels. Where
the challenges would occur are in administrative services to
accommodate records and integration of information and data.
City of Pacific's permit volume is ten percent of Auburn's; there
is anticipated a significant and early increase in customer
interactions at the Customer Service Center from Pacific
residents.
Director Snyder recommended adopting City of Pacific
Comprehensive Plan designations and policies, environmental
designations and policies, zoning designations and policies for a
minimum one year while concurrently assessing and developing
updated designations. Time and resource commitment levels for
these efforts will significantly limit the ability to take on new
initiatives, not only for staff, but for the Planning Commission and
City Council Committees as well.
Director Snyder stated that annexation will require integration of
all land parcels in Pacific into the City of Auburn address/grid
system. This would require significant dedication of multi-
departmental staff#ime and resources and will require a minimum
of one year to develop the plan.
Director Snyder stated that annexation would provide potential
economic development opportunities. There are approximately
232 acres of industrial zoned properties, 124 acres of heavy
commercial zoned properties, and 37 acres of light commercial
zoned properties.
Page 6 of 14
Additionally, annexation will provide potential partnership
opportunity with the City of Sumner to complete the processing
and obtainment of a shared Manufacturing and Industrial Center
designation by Puget Sound Regional Council. This regional
designation would provide a new avenue for the potential receipt
of federal transportation funding.
City Attorney Heid reported there would be some additional work
required by the Legal Department up front, such as the
preparation of documents, contracts, and meeting notices.
However, in the long #erm the impacts to the department would
probabty be no more than is proportional to the population being
added to the City of Autiurn. No need to increase staff is
expected at this time.
City Attorney Heid stated it is imperative that City of Pac�c retain
its insurance coverage. He noted that Pacific Councilmembers
have indicated that if their insurance is lost, they will resign
leaving no Council with which the Auburn City Council can enter
agreements.
Councilmember Holman stated the City could designate the City
of Pacific as a potential annexation area under the Growth
Management Act.
Advisor to the Mayor Michael Hursh spoke regarding the
demographics of the City of Pacific. Demographics taken from
other sources include:
Home Ownership: Auburn 60% Pacific 50%
Multi-family Housing Auburn 34% Pacific 39%
The median value of owner occupied housing units in Aubum is
$25,000 higher than in Pacific. The quality of life in Aubum is 34
points higher than in Pacfic. The education index is higher in
Auburn, and the median income is $5,000 higher in Auburn.
Low/moderate income residents comprise 49% of Aubum
residents while 59% of Pacific residents are considered
low/moderate income.
Advisor to the Mayor Hursh advised that additional services will be
needed to provide the same level of service to Pacific residents
without diluting the qual'ity of life of existing Auburn residents.
In response to questions from Council, Mr Hursh reported that the
City of Pacific has a lower median age. Mr Hursh advisedthat
the City of Pacific is part of the community development
Page 7 of 14
consortium, unlike Auburn, which is a direct entitlement City as it
relates to Community Development Block Grant funds.
Mayor Lewis expressed support for the City of Pacific and its
continued existence as a municipal govemment. Mayor Lewis
stated that he will be forwarding information on the impacts and
the costs of annexation of the City of Pacific on the City of Aubum
to the Governor's Office and the King County Executive. It is
unknown at this time, if the City of Pacific will adopt a resolution
requesting annexation by the City of Auburn. However, to
preserve the option by the Aubum Ciry Council to consider
annexation of the City of Pacific, some steps need to be taken
now
City Attorney Heid distributed copies of Letters of Intent by the
cities of Pacific and Auburn for the annexation of the City of
Pacific into the City of Auburn addressed to the Washington State
Boundary Review Board fo� King County and the Pierce County
Boundary Review Board for Council consideration. He noted that
the letters do not bind either city City Attorney Heid briefly
reviewed the annexation process should it proceed.
Deputy Mayor Backus moved and Councilmember Peloza
seconded to authorize the Mayor to sign the letters of intent to the
Boundary Review Boards for King County and Pierce County with
an additional reference to the intent of the City of Aubum to annex
the entire City of Pacific.
In response to questions from Councilmember Partridge, Mayor
Lewis stated that with Pacific's current revenues of$3 rriilliori and �
expenditures of approximately $5 million, the annexation of Pacifc
is nat feasible without assistance from the State and counties.
Staff will continue to bring information to the Council on the
impacts of annexation of the City of Pacific.
Councilmember Wales questioned whether the residents of
Pacific view annexation to Auburn as favorable.
Councilmember Partridge questioned the voting demographic of
Pacific and its effect on the conditions of Pacific today He
expressed concern that the unity of Auburn could be adversely
affected by the annexafion of Pacific.
