Street Utility Improvements.
Chairman Wagner asked if the project is related to the RPG
development east of the project location. Assistant Director/City

benefit to the development from the project but it is not specifically for
the development.

C. Public Works Project No. CP1116 (Truong)
Councilmember Peloza moved and Councilmember
Osborne seconded to recommend City Council approve Final Pay
Estimate No. 8 to Contract No. 11-20 and accept construction of
Project No. CP1116 Downtown Pedestrian Lighting.
Chairman Wagner asked about the plan for data collection from the
downtown lighting project to help in making decisions on the future use
of LED lights around the City Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle
answered that staff has cost information associated with the downtown
lights which from a new installafion standpoint provides some
information. The downtown lighting is a special application with lights
closely spaced, unlike other applications around the City so staff and
the Committee need to continue to assess the feasibility of LED ligh#s
for new installations or for retrofitting existing lights, which could
potentially be more cost effective.
Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle reported that in December 2012,
PSE did come out with a new schedule that does recognize the use of
LEDs in PSE lights and staff will be evaluating what those impacts
are.
Page 2 of 15
Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle also explained that from this
project we have learned about LED technology forthis specific type of
application, but in ferms of applying the technology in other areas of
the City, the downtown is a special application in terms of light spacing
and light height, which are different than the spacing and heights used
typically across the City Staff is also reviewing the lighting standards
of other agencies and sharing information.
Chairman Wagner spoke about the intensity of the lights and asked if
there was any data that could be collected in the downtown
area. Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle stated there may be-some
data that could be collected such as lighting levels during various
times of day and community feedback. Assistant Director/City
Engineer Selle pointed out that LED lights typically are. less bright
when spaced further apart than they are dovirntown.
Chairman Wagner stated that he would like more data collected
regarding the "human factor" from the community and
citizens. Chairman Wagner asked staff to develop a plan on how to
collect information about how the public views the lights.
Project Engineer Truong stated that the cost of the downtown lights is
within the costs estimated by staff, in response to a question asked by
Chairman Wagner Chairman VNagner asked if the cost would be the
same for other installations in other areas. Assistant Director/City
Engineer Selle noted that a comparison would be difficult due to the
unique design of the downtown installation. Assistant_DirectoNCity
Engineer Selle stated that staff has been spending effort to determirie
which technology would be able to be applied in other areas in the
City
Director powdy noted that the research PSE is doing on upgrading to
LED lights will provide the City with data regarding the use of LEDs on
poles spaced further apart and that are higher up than n the downtown
lights.
Chairman Wagner spoke about the cost payback on energy projects.
Member Osborne asked if there will be a cost analysis done,
comparing the new energy cost with the previous cosf. Assistant
Director/City Engineer Selle stated that the historical data can be
collected.
Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle answered questions asked by
Vice-Chair Peloza regarding the warranty on the lights. Vice=Chair
Peloza noted one of the lights may be in need of repair Project

III RESOLUTIONS
A. Resolution No. 4898 (Para)
A Resolution of the City Council ofthe City of Auburn, Washington,
Authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to Execute an Interlocal
Agreement with King County for the Purpose of Providing Road
Services
Councilmember Peloza moved and Councilmember
Osborne seconded to recommend City Council adopt Resolution No.
4898, as amended.
Transportation Manager Para presented the interlocal agreement with
King County, with the amendments recommended by the Committee
at a previous meeting. Para noted that the budget numbers
requested by the Committee are included in the Resolution's agenda
bill. Para pointed that the amount budgeted is not what the City�is
required to spend on the general services.
Transportation Manager Para explained that the cost for the project
will be incurred per each task order Task orders and requests for
services will be submitted to the county and an estimate will be
provided to the City, which must be authorized by the City prior to work
beginning. There will be a specific scope and cost estimate for each
service requested under the general contract.
Chairman Wagner asked if the $200,000.00 amount includes
pavement marking in both Pierce and King Counties. Transportation
Manager Para confirmed that both counties are inctuded.
Page 4 of 15
Transportation Manager Para answered questions asked by Chairman
Wagner regarding the amount budgeted for striping last year versus
the current year
Assistant City Engineer Gaub stated that the storm pond cleaning
project, that may potentially be included in the agreement, was
advertised for bids twice in 2012, in response to a question asked by
Chairman Wagner The first time the project went to bid, the City
received one bid which was 2-3 times higher than the engineer's
estimate and the second time, the City received no bids. City staff
have met with other agencies that use King County to complete this
type of work and discussed their experience working with King County
which has been positive.
The Committee and staff discussed how the amount of the contract is
budgeted.
Transportation Manager Para noted that all of the projects will go to
the Mayor for approval unless the amount exceeds the budgeted
authority
Member Osborne asked if the contract will be reviewed by the
Committee annually to approve the amount budgeted for the contract
every year Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle stated that the
budget has to be approved by Council annually Transportation
Manager Para stated that the agreement does not obligate any funds;
it is the subsequent task orders that w'ill obligate the City to reimburse
King County for their services.
Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle stated that the larger projects.
included in the agreement will also be tracked by the Committee on
the Capital Project Status Report.
Transportation Manager Para stated that the agreement will be
reviewed by the Finance Committee, in response to a question asked
by Chairman Wagner
The Committee and staff continued discussion regarding how the
agreement will be budgeted in future years.
Chairman Wagner recommended removing the automatic renewal
language from the Agreement. Member Osborne recommended
including language sfafing that the agreement and budget w'ill be
reviewed annually by the Council.
Transportation Manager Para recommended adding the agreement to
Page 5 of 15
the Action Tracking Matrix to be reviewed by the Committee prior to
the automatic renewal date to discuss tasks budgeted for the next year
and projects that could potentially be authorized under the contract.
Assistant City Attorney Gross stated that the intemal budget tracking
should not be included in the Agreement, but a provision in the
Resolution could be added stating that the appropriation for the
agreement has to go to Council to be authorized. Gross said that the
language regarding the automatic renewal would remain in the
Agreement because that applies to the City's interaction with the
County and does not have any affect on the City's internal budget and
does not supersede any budget restrictions that are put on the
funding.
Member Osborne stated that he does not want the automatic renewal
removed from the Agreement as long as the Council can review how
much will be spent each year
Assistant City Engineer Gaub answered questions asked by Vice-
Chair Peloza regarding the storm pond cleaning project included in the
agreement.
Chairman Wagner asked that language be included in the Resolution
requiring that the budget be reviewed by Council yearly
Assistant City Attorney Gross explained that the annual renewal in the
Agreement just ensures the contract is in place every year but does
not create a requirement for the City to utilize the contract or obligate
funds, in response to comments made by Chairman Wagner
Assistant City Attomey Gross suggested adding a section to the
Resolution that says the funding for the contract will be renewed and
specifically authorized every year, in response to a request made by
Vice-Chair Peloza. The Committee agreed to adding the new section
and retaining the section allowing the automatic renewal of the
Agreement.
Assistant City Engineer Gaub explained that in future years there will
probably not be as much budgeted for storm pond cleaning as the
current year, because the cleaning of the storm pond has not been
able to be complete for several years and the City needs to get caught
up. Chairman Wagner asked that Assistant Ciry Engineer Gaub attend
the Finance Committee meeting to explain the budget for storm pond
cleaning.
Assistant City Attomey Gross answered questions asked by �ce-
Chair Peloza regarding the wording of the Resolution and the scope of
Page 6 of 15
services included in the contract.
Vice-Chair Peloza asked for changes to the contribution
language. Assistant City Attorney Gross stated that he would have to
consult with Risk Management prior to changing the language.
Staff answered questions asked by Vice-Chair Peloza regarding the
schedule for tasks and the schedule for the City's quarterly reports.
Motion Carried Unanimously 3-0.
IV DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. 22nd Street High Consumption (Coleman/Dowdy)
Director powdy reported that staff had several meetings to try and
determine the reason for the increased water consumption at the three
residences in question and was unable to establish a cause. Director
Dowdy stated that the data does not allow for the City to prove or
disprove any cause.
Vice-Chair Peloza asked for the cost of replacing the meters. Water
U61ity Engineer Lamothe answered it is approximately $212.00
each. Director powdy noted that if staff believes the meters are faulty,
it is the obligation of the City to replace them.
Finance Director Coleman stated that the meters that were replaced
were tested and read accurately
Finance Director Coleman explained how technicians locate leaks, in
response to questions asked by Vice-Chair Peloza.
The Committee and staff reviewed the past water consumption for the
three residences compared to the months of higher consumption.
Finance Director Coleman noted there were no leaks found. The
Committee and staff discussed possible causes for the increased
consumption.
The Committee agreed that the adjusted amounts should be written
off
B. Leak Adjustment Policy 100-52 Revision (Coleman)
Finance Director Coleman explained that staff is asking for Council to
provide the Finance Director latitude to make a leak adjustment for
those customers experiencing financial hardship.
Chairman Wagner asked why the revision requested by the
Page 7 of 15
Committee regarding the location of a water leak had not been
included. Member Osborne noted that at a previous meeting, the
Committee decided to include not only leaks from the building to the
street but also leaks inside the building.
Finance Director Coleman stated that staff had several meetings to
discuss the revision requested by the Committee and explained that if
leaks inside the building are eligible when determining leak
adjustments, leaking toilets, other appliances, etc. Finance Director
Coleman suggested further discussion on whether or not to include the
water line beyond the point the line has enters the building.
The Committee and staff discussed whether or not leaks inside a
building should be a factor when determining eligibility for leak
adjustments.
Utility Engineer Repp spoke about limitations on what the City can and
can not do when determining which leaks utilities should support and
which leaks are the property owner's responsibility Repp also said
that it is difficult for staff to examine leaks once the line enters a
structure and that is part of the reason why staff supports only
including the line to the point where it enters the building.
Utilities Engineer Repp stated that the current policy does not allow
staff the ability to make decisions about leak adjustments in the case
of financial hardship.
The Committee decided to retain the current policy regarding
determining eligibility for leak adjustments and the adjustments may
be applied for leaks occurring in the water line from the street to where
it enters the house. Finance Director Coleman pointed out that the
policy states the appeal process applies only to adjustments over
$500.00
The Committee and staff discussed whether or not to lower the
$500.00 limit. The Committee decided not to lower the limit at this
time. Vice-Chair Peloza requested additional information regarding the
number of leaks that do not meet the $500 00 limit.
The Committee asked what the definition of "financial hardship" will
be. Finance Director Coleman suggested using the same income
thresholds as those currently used for the low-income senior/disability
discounts that the City offers. Coleman suggested any other
extenuating circumstances also be considered.
Chairman Wagner asked how staff determines whether or not an
applicant is low income. Finance Director Coleman answered
Page 8 of 15
custamers provide staff with tax returns and other
documents. Customer Service Manager Goodson-Moore said that
there is also a form that is used for the low-income seniorldisatiility
discount that can be revamped for leak adjustments in cases of
hardship.
The Committee agreed with the criteria suggested by Finance Director
Coleman.
C. 2013 Utility System Revenue Bond (Coleman)
Finance Director Coleman distributed a handout titled, "Utility 2013
Bond Funded Projects.
The Committee and staff reviewed the capital projects that will be
funded by the bond and the cost of the projects. Finance Director
Coleman noted that a Public Works Trust Fund loan has been secured
for the Well 1 Improvements. That project was going to be included in
the bond. Coleman also noted that the annual debt service on new
bonds will be approximately 5% of Water and Stormwa4er rates.
The Committee and staff reviewed the Water Utility Rate and
Stormwater Rate Revenue Requirements graphs. Finance Director
Coleman explained how the debt service rate was estimated, in
response to a question asked by Chairman Wagner
Financial Planning Manager Chaw answered questions asked by
Chairman Wagner regarding the new debt service represented on the
graphs and how the rafes are calibrated to include the issuance of
future bonds.
�ce-Chair Peloza asked if the debt service for the 2013 bonds would
be better represented with a spread of 5%-8%. Finance Director
Coleman confirmed that it would.
Utilities Engineer Repp answered questions asked by Member
Osbome regarding the phases of the flood area project included in the
Stormwater Projects. Auburn Way South Flooding is Phase 2 and 30th
Street NE Area Flooding in Phase 1
Finance Director Coleman stated that staff is working on the bond
ordinance and it will be brought back to the Committee for review on

Reddington Levee Setback and Extension Project
Principal Planner Dixon explained that the Reddington Levee Setback
and 'Extension Project is a project being undertaken by the King
County Flood Control District and the City is partnering on the
project. The project seeks to setback, i.e. move west, and extend
Reddington Levee along the west bank of the Green River, through
the City of Auburn. Principal Planner Dixon discussed the scope of
work for the project.
The Committee and staff reviewed the map which shows both phases
of the project.
Principal Planner Dixon stated that King County currentty has funding
only for the first phase of the project, from 26th Street NE, north to the
northern boundary of Monterey Park (a.k.a Auburn 40 plat).
Dixon stated that the map included in the agenda packet shows takes
of City owned property as well as privately owned property, in
response to a question asked by Chairman Wagner
Principal Planner Dixon discussed the problems that will be addressed
by constructing the new levee setback.
Member Osborne asked if the new levee will be constructed prior to
removal of the existing levee. Dixon confirmed that to be correct.
Principal Planner Dixon spoke about the project goals. Mayor Lewis
responded to questions asked by Member Osbome regarding potential
flooding up the river if the levee system flow containment capacity is
increased beyond 12,000 cubic feet per second. Dixon noted that the
project site is only one segment of the river where the project will
provide increased flood capaciry and more storage. This project is part
of the county's overalt program to deal with the Green River and the
first increment of levee improvement.
Mayor Lewis spoke about the measurement of success for the project,
in response to a question asked by Member Osbome.
The Committee and staff discussed the maximum flow of the river, the
levee system, and potential flooding, in response to concerns
expressed by Member Osbome.
Principal Planner stated that the project is scheduled to start
construction in 2013 but the county website does not indicate the
duration of construction window
Page 10 of 15
The project results in 6 related City actions. The Committee and staff
reviewed the City related Acfions Schedule for the project.
Assistant Director/Ciry Engineer Selle explained that there will be two
separate agreements, one between the County and the River Estates
Mobile Home Park for purchase of property for the Levee footprint and
a second agreement between the City and the River Estates Mobile
Home Park for purchase of a portion of the property owned by the
City's Storm Utility (a.k.a formerly Crista Ministries). Assistant
Director/City Engineer Selle pointed ouf the locafions of the properties
on an aerial map. Principal Planner Dixon noted that the levee setback
will impact approximately sixteen mobile home units and their
recreational vehicle parking. The mobile home park intends on
replacing the units using the property purchased from the City storm
utiliry
The Committee and staff continued review of the City related Actions
Schedule for the project.
Principal Planner Dixon explained that there will be a Recreation and
Conservation Office (RCO) conversion for replacement park
land. Dixon stated that the levee project will take approximately 2.99
acres of the existing developed open space within Brannan Park for
the footprint of the levee. That portion of the park needs to be replaced
under the original grant obligation of the original acquisition so tlie City
needs to find a suitable replacement for the 2.99 acres. Assistant
Director/City Engineer Selle pointed out the proposed location for the
usable park space within the storm utility owned property Dixon
answered questions asked by Member Osborne regarding the type of
park space that will be required.
Principal Planner Dixon stated that the County intends to submit
applications forthe needed city construction permits from City later in
the week.
Another City action is the 3-party agreement for use of city owned
properties for Levee. Principal Planrier Dixon reviewed the prbperties
that will be affected by the 3-Party Interposal Agreement for
conveyance of the levee easement from the Ciry with the
Committee. The agreement addresses use of two City Storm water
owned properties. As part of the agreement, the county will also
provide a functional replacement for the bios wale that is being
replaced by the levee footpriht. The interposal agreement also
addresses the County's responsibility to provide replacement of the
2.99 acres of Brannan Park within the storm utility owned
property Under the agreement provisions fhe City will also receive a
replacement paved trail system along the top of the levee as part of
Page 11 of 15
the construction.
The complete construction of the trail system will occur in phase 1 of
the project and the City has also secured the county's assistance to
construct the trail in phase 2, if the City elects to build the trail in
advance of the levee construction. Principal Planner Dixon responded
to a question asked by Member Osbome regarding the 3 required
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible locations along the
trail.
Dixon stated that under state law in order to surplus city owned
property that was originally acquired for utility purposes and to
recognize a portion of the former Cristal Ministries property as park
land, the City must conduct a Public Hearing.
Mayor Lewis addressed questions asked by Member Osborne
regarding the projecYs cost to the City
The Committee and staff discussed the projecYs budget.
Chairman Wagner asked how the price of the 10 77 acres of
encumbrances to the Auburn Storm Utility properties was
calculated. Principal Planner Dixon answered that the amount is based
on an appraisal conducted by King County and the County also
conducted a review appraisal both of which were reviewed by the City
and accepted. Chairman Wagner asked for an explanation as to why
the property is worth less than wetlands. Mayor Lewis noted that the
City is selling an easement and not the actual property Mayor Lewis
asked that copies of a summary of the appraisals be provided to the
Committee members.
The Committee and staff discussed the improved functionality of the
proposed construction of the new bios wale. Storm Drairiage Engineer
Carlaw explained how staff determined how the bios wale should be
constructed to improve functionality Storm Drainage Engineer Carlaw
pointed out that under the terms of the 3-party agreement the City also
has the authority to approve all plans and issue the necessary
permits.
Principal Planner Dixon answered questions asked by Vice-Chair
Peloza regarding the parkland replacement.
E. Utility System Development Charges (Repp)
Utilities Engineer Repp explained that the analysis and background
information that the consultant uses for the Cost of Service is also
relevant for the System Development Charges (SDCs), in response to
a question asked by Chairman Wagner Repp stated that one of the
Page 12 of 15
benefits of using the consultant, FCS Consultants, is that they have
experience with other jurisd'ictions' SDCs and will be able to provide
meaningful comparisons. Repp discussed some of the difficulties staff
has producing similar comparisons. Utilities Engineer Repp said that
staff can ask the consultant tb segregate the tasks of the Cost of
Service analysis and the SDC analysis. Chairman Wagner voiced his
concern about the possibility of SDCs not getting a fair amount of
analysis if combined with the cost of service task. Chairman Wagner
asked that the tasks be done separately, with the SDC analysis tieing
completed in summer 2013 and the Cost of Service analysis
completed at the end of the year
Utilities Engineer Repp suggested initiating a single contract with FCS
that says the SDC analysis be completed first and for the Cost of
Senrice analysis to have a separate schedule. Mayor Lewis supported
a single contract. Chairman Wagner agreed.
The Committee and staff reviewed Figure 1, SDC Comparison with
other local cities.
The Committee and staff reviewed Figure 2, Utility Revenue Summary,
which shows the wealth of contributions of the SDCs to the overall
rates of the different utilities. Chairman Wagner asked for the
contributions of the SDCs to the capital expenditure funds.
The Committee and staff reviewed Table 3, Auburn single family
residence fee summary
Utilities Engineer Repp distributed an, updated scope of work for the
consultant which includes an optional task to look at Braunwood's cost
of service to see if rates support actual costs.
Chairman Wagner and Utilities Engineer Repp spoke about the
possibility of returning the ownership of Braunwood to the property
owners.
Utilities Engineer Repp stated that staff will return with the capital
SDCs for the Committee to review
Utilities Engineer Repp responded to a question asked by Chairman
Wagner regarding replacemenf projects.
Chairman Wagner distributed copies of the City of Auburn 1998
Recommended Cost of Service Rates Compared with Existing Rate
Structure. Chairman Wagner asked for staff and the consultant to
produce similar types of out put in the current Cost of Service
study The Committee and staff reviewed the handout and Chairman
Page 13 of 15
Wagner made his suggestions to staff
F Red Right Tum Arrow and Left Turn Flashing Yellow Arrow
Recommendations (Para)
Transportation Manager Para stated that staff has researched posting
signs, at the Committee's request, with respect to the flashing yellow
left tum arrow operation and the red right turn arrows.
Para stated that there are seven total intersections with red right
arrows in the City, in response to a question asked by Chairman
Wagner regarding how many signs would need to be
posted. Chairman Wagner stated that he supported the installation of
the "Right on Red Arrow After Stop" signage, as depicted in the
example provided by Transportation Manager Para.
Transportation Manager Para explained that research reports and the
MUTCD do not recommend the installation of signs with the flashing
yellow arrows. Para said that staff supports that
recommendation. Para stated that studies have shown that there is
less driver confusion with the flashing yellow arrow signal intersecfion
than the intersections with the "Left Turn Yield on Green" signals with
signage.
The Committee and Transportation Manager Para discussed the
timing of the flashing yellow arrow signal.
Transportation Manager Para noted that the flashing yellow arrow
signals are included in the new driver's manual and is part of driver's
training.
Chairman Wagner asked what type of public education for the flashing
yellow arrow signals is being recommended by staff Transportation
Manager Para said that public notices posted on the City's website, a
I full page ad in the Aubum Reporter and other media outlets could be
used for education. Vice-Chair Peloza recommended public channel
21 and Member Osborne suggested public channel 22. Chairman
Wagner said he is expecting a lot of education be provided by staff.
The Committee supported the installation of the WSDOT standard sign
for red right turn arrows and staff's suggestion to implement extensiVe
public information and education campaigns with subsequent flashing
yellow arrow projects.

the station is running and operational.
Item 19 — CP1118 —Auburn Way South Pedestrian Improvements —
Dogwood to Fir: Assistant City Engineer Gaub commented that the
Committee will be reviewing the project when staff asks for permission
to advertise late this spring.
Chairman Wagner pointed out that the CPS total covers multiple years
and asked for a spending rate. Assistant City Engineer Gaub noted
that the spending rate may vary year to year due to major construction
projects such as M Street and.A Street in the last couple years.
H. Action Tracking Matrix (Dowdy)
Member Osbome asked that the staff report on the timing for the
flashing yellow signal be added to the matrix.
Utilities Engineer Repp stated that he will update the matrix for the
timeline for the SDCs and Cost of Service analyses.
