Engineering Aide Amber Mund briefly described Ordinance No 4881 , presented to the Committee for discussion.

Ms. Mund confirmed that there were no complications or concerns generated in the past five years with Olympic Pipeline Public Works staff clarified for the Committee that notices of public hearings about an increase in pipeline size and a new line coming in through Auburn were not in connection with Olympic Pipeline but rather announcements made by Williams. There were no further questions from the Committee B Ordinance No. 6445 - School Impact Fees (Dixon) Request for Committee review and discussion of the proposed 2013 school impact fees for Auburn School District, Dieringer School District, Federal Way School District and Kent School District. Planning Director Snyder asked if the Committee would be comfortable with making this item an action item. Upon consideration, the Committee unanimously agreed to staffs proposal. Principal Planner Dixon noted that the members of the school districts talked about their Capital Facilities Plan and the relationship to their impact fees. Principal Planner Dixon explained that the Committee has seen the Capital Facilities Plans as part of the Comprehensive Plan Amendments because if we adopt their Capital Facilities Plans this becomes part of our Chapter 5 and our capital facilities element of the City's Comprehensive Plan Principal Planner Dixon further added that by specific separate ordinance and as a separate action, Chapter 19 02 is actually amended, which is the City's School Impact Fee ordinance. Each of the school districts have prepared their Capital Facilities Plan using the formulas provided in the Auburn City Code for the calculation of their impact fees, which includes a discount, to come up with a proposed figure In the case of the Derringer School District, Planner Dixon stated there was a difference between the fee that was proposed for Pierce County impact fee for the same school district. Page 3 of 5 The proposal was drafted to keep that school impact fee commensurate with that passed by Pierce County, which is lower and typically applied to all the school districts within their jurisdiction Planner Dixon clarified that the Table does not reflect that deduction to the Pierce County level; however, the ordinance does. Staff confirmed for Derringer School District for single family was going down to $3,005 00 from $3,500 00 Vice-Chair Partridge moved and Member Holman seconded to move to full City Council for review and approval. Motion carried unanimously 3-0 C Review Arterial Street Needs (Dowdy) Public Works Director Dennis Dowdy stated that this subject was presented before the Committee several weeks ago and when it went to Public Works they requested to share with other Council members the attached maps that illustrate what the current requirement would be if we looked at arterial streets today with additional funding versus the requirement if we stay with current revenues for a period of up to 5 years and what it would look like 5 years from now Director Dowdy stated that the condition of some of the roadways would continue to deteriorate and you would be looking at an increase in price in current dollars from $69 Million to $89 million over a period of 5 years waiting and using existing revenues, which currently is approximately $1 5 Million per year to repair the arterial street system. Director Dowdy added that currently out of the $1 5 Million there is about $100,000 in crack sealing each year; several hundred thousand in deep patching, Public Works is not currently doing any overlays due to the limited funds available He further added that once funds become available, everything that has been deep patched should immediately be overlayed so the whole street is protected Director Dowdy added this is the first year of chip sealing arterials but additional resources are needed to catch up D Director's Report (Snyder) Planning Director Snyder provided the Committee with a copy of the notice that we received grant funding for the Fenster Setback Levee on the Green River We received $327,353 which makes our project of $1 .2 Million whole and includes six other funding sources. Director Snyder acknowledged Chris Andersen and Jamie Kelly for their efforts in making this grant a priority to the Salmon Recovery Funding Board The Committee asked Director Snyder to pass along their appreciation to Chris and Jamie and anyone else who worked on this application Director Snyder noted as we come to the end of 2012, we are fast approaching 400 new single family home Page 4 of 5 building permits issued, which is the best year since 2004 and there is the potential to see those same numbers or better next year depending on external and other impact factors. Also, Director Snyder stated we have a number of plats that have come back on line Director Snyder stated that we are roughly $800,000 ahead of revenue projections for building permits. On behalf of all of the members of the Planning and Development Department, Director Snyder thanked the Committee, the Mayor, and other departments that Planning worked with throughout the year making this a very successful year The Committee echoed the same sentiments to the Planning Department for outstanding work and for making the citizens of Auburn welcome with an efficient and effective process.
