III. ACTION
A. Ordinance No. 6423 (Lee)
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington,
amending Section 12.32.010 of the Auburn City Code relating to sidewalk use
restrictions. Current provisions of the Auburn City Code allow for bicycles to
be ridden on public sidewalks within the City. Specifically, the Code
describes sidewalks as being for the exclusive use of pedestrians with the
single exception of bicycle use. Accordingly, there is a potential conflict in the
City Codes with one provision seemingly allowing bicycles to be ridden on
sidewalks and another that prohibits riding a bicycle upon a sidewalk in a
business district. Committee discussion followed; however, the Ordinance

was removed as an action item from the agenda until a later date allowing
time for Administration, Legal and Police Department to further review.
IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Ordinance No. 6457 - Changes to the Animal Control and Licensing Code
(Hanson)
Darcie Hanson, Administrative and Business Services Manager for the
Planning and Development Department provided information to the committee
on Ordinance No. 6457. This Ordinance corrects some errors and
omissions to Chapters 6.01 and 6.04 of the Auburn City Code relating to
Animal Control and Licensing. Amendments include adding language
supporting the Senior lifetime licenses that King County issued prior to
January 1, 2013; proof of rabies vaccination as a requirement to obtaining a
pet license and a penalty fee for failure to get your pet vaccinated; and
correcting the renewal period from a calendar year to a rolling year expiration.
Committee discussion followed regarding the ability to sell licenses by all
entities without the burden of pre-buying licenses as was done when King
County was administering the program. Mayor Lewis will work with his staff to
clarify the best practice way to promote license selling in general and provide
recommendations to the MSC, so as to prevent any missed opportunities for
selling licenses. In addition, as per the committee assignments from the
Council Operations Committee, the MSC is the Action Committee for Animal
Control.
