C. Agenda Modifications
Resolution No. 4967 was added to the agenda as an action item. This is a
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington, declaring
that the City of Auburn, Washington, is officially a Purple Heart City. The
Purple Heart was an award instituted by President Washington and it was
the first award available for the common soldier. This award has been
around since the late 1700's. The action of declaring the City to be a
Purple Heart City is our way of giving further recognition to citizens that
have been killed or injured in combat. This action would put us among a
growing group of cities that are providing more recognition for their
veterans. Committee discussion followed.
Vice Chair Osborne moved to forward to full Council for consideration.
Member Partridge seconded. Chair Peloza concurred.

annual report for fiscal year ending August 31, 2012 with Committee.
B. Ordinance No. 6468 (Chamberlain)
The proposal amends Title 18, Zoning, of the Auburn City Code
related to Section 18.04.360, amending the definition of "Family".
Planning Manager Elizabeth Chamberlain provided a handout,
Ordinance No. 6468, highlighting the proposed amendments to
Auburn City Code, Section 18.04.360, the definition of family. This
discussion topic has been before the Planning and Community
Development previously with the larger discussion on student/rental
housing in the neighborhoods around and adjacent to Green River
Community College. Changing the definition of "family" is an interim
measure to address student/rental housing as a first phase of a larger
discussion.
After having brought this before the Committee, the Planning
Commission held a public hearing on June 18, 2013 and received
testimony from staff and the public. There were three members of
public that provided comments and one written letter submitted to the
Planning Commission. The comments received at the public hearing
supported the proposed code amendment and spoke favorably of the
process but urged the City to address the concerns previously raised
by the community regarding concerns expressed on student housing
rentals. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the
proposed code amendment as presented by staff with a 4-2 vote.
The Committee, staff, and City Attorney Dan Heid discussed the
removal of “family” within City code. Attorney Heid explained the
intent in changing the definition of “family” was to remove the
inconsistency between the definition of family and other related terms
such as boardinghouse.
The Committee stated it is difficult to define “family” without limiting the
range of families we have today. Committee wants to be open to the
various family forms within the City of Auburn without imposing any
specific definition. Vice-Chair Holman pointed out that we may need
provide enhanced enforcement of the City’s code by the Code
Compliance Officers to work through the issues and concerns raised
by residents living in the communities of Green River Community
College regarding any code violations at student/rentals.
Committee, staff, and City Attorney Heid discussed several options to
address the inconsistency of the definition of "family" and other related
terms.
At this time the Committee has determined they would not move
forward with the proposed code change but requested that staff meet
Page 2 of 5
PCD.1 Page 9 of 66
with the City Legal Department to review options to address the
inconsistency between the definition of family and other related terms
such as boardinghouse (possibly removing the term “family”
altogether). Staff will return at the next meeting to bring back an
alternative proposal.
C. Ordinance No. 6469 (Tate)
Ordinance 6469 – 2012 International Building Code
Interim Planning Director Jeff Tate provided a handout, Ordinance No.
6469, amending Chapters 15.06, and 15.07 of the Auburn City Code
(ACC) and amending Sections 15.08A.0011, 15.08A.021 and
15.36A.011 of the Auburn City Code regarding amendments to and
updating of Building Codes to the Committee.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 18, 2013 and
after deliberation and further modification of the staff recommendation,
recommended approval of the amendments to Title 15 ACC.
Committee and staff discussed the amendments. Committee was in
support of Ordinance No. 6469 and determined they would move the
item to action.
Vice-Chair Holman moved and Member Wales seconded to
recommend moving Ordinance No. 6469 to full City Council for
approval.
Motion carried unanimouly. 3-0
D. 2013 Comprehensive Plan Amendments (Dixon)
See attached memo.
Principal Planner Jeff Dixon reviewed the 2013 Comprehensive Plan
Amendments with the Committee. Committee expressed their
gratitude for the docket staff provided to outline the proposed
amendments for 2013.
E. City of Auburn Floodplain Management (Andersen)
Environmental Protection Manager Chris Andersen provided the third
briefing in a series of briefings regarding City of Auburn floodplain
management activities.
Committee and staff reviewed the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS). Flood
Insurance Rate Maps are used to determine what flood hazards are
for an area. A Flood Insurance Study (FIS) is used to obtain flood
hazards for an area.
Page 3 of 5
PCD.1 Page 10 of 66
Staff then reviewed the City of Auburn Regulatory Floodplain Map.
Environmental Protection Manager Andersen stated in order to
administer the City’s Flood Hazard Area regulations found in Chapter
15.68 of the Auburn City Code (ACC), the City has adopted a
Regulatory Floodplain Map.
The FEMA Flood Insurance Studies and FIRMs for the City of Auburn
were adopted in 1995 for the King County portion of the City, and in
1987 for the Pierce County portion of the City. FEMA is currently in the
process of conducting a multi-year national flood risk mapping update
project. As part of the project, new flood studies are being conducted
and older paper map products are being replaced with updated Digital
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs). The process has been placed
on hold by FEMA pending the development and adoption of a new
national policy on the way levees and other flood protection structures
are considered by the flood models used to develop the maps,
recognizing the flood protection benefits.
Staff will provide a fourth briefing at the July 22, 2013 Planning and
Community Development meeting to provide an overview of the City’s
flood control and flood event preparation and response activities.
F. Discussion of ACC 18.21.010(F) Lot Averaging Zoning Code (Dixon)
Principal Planner Dixon provided background information on the
current existing code provision ACC 18.21.010(F) related to "Lot
Averaging".
Lot averaging allows a subdivision proposal to not meet the 35,000
square foot lot size minimum of the R1, zoning district when certain
standards are met. The Lot Averaging code provision was party
instituted to apply to areas of the City that were also designated as the
“Urban Separator Overlay” but is not exclusively limited to these
areas. The Lea Hill area currently has two primary areas of urban
separators.
Staff asked if the Committee was interested in application of this code
provision to different areas of the City. Committee and staff discussed
the ability to maintain our buffers and have provisions in place to
maintain quality standards. Principal Planner Dixon explained that the
City has other governing factors in place to provide adequate
protection to maintain quality standards.
Committee is interested in allowing the expansion of Lot Averaging in
other areas of the City. Staff will consider this for future code
changes.

Page 1 of 6
PW.1 Page 14 of 66
Motion carried 3-0.
B. Public Works Project No. CP1225 (Wickstrom)
West Valley Highway System Preservation Project
Project Engineer Wickstrom noted that half of the project is funded by
a federal grant and the other half is funded by the 105 fund.
Chairman Wagner asked if staff anticipates any environmental
situations. Project Engineer Wickstrom stated that the project will not
trigger environmental review because the existing pavement is not
being reconstructed and work is limited to a grind and overlay.
Project Engineer Wickstrom answered questions asked by Member
Osborne regarding the percent of design complete on the
project. Wickstrom explained that the project design will not reach
100% completion until staff receives the approval of the State
regarding the contract documents.
Chairman Wagner asked if the warmer weather will affect the paving
process. Project Engineer Wickstrom stated that in western
Washington it usually does not reach high enough temperatures to
affect the asphalt. Wickstrom noted on occasion a contractor will wet
the asphalt to cool it in order to allow traffic to travel on the surface
sooner.
It was moved by Vice-Chair Peloza, seconded by Member Osborne,
that the Committee recommend City Council grant permission to
advertise for bids for Project No. CP1225, West Valley Highway
System Preservation Project.
Motion carried 3-0.
C. Public Works Project No. CP1302 (Wickstrom)
2013 Pavement Patching, Chipseal, and Overlay Project
Chairman Wagner inquired why we are combining several types of
work for several street programs in a single contract. Assistant
Director/City Engineer Selle stated that the City should receive better
costs by combining the like work on the arterial and local streets to be
completed by one contractor. In addition, there will be cost savings
because there will only be one contract for the City to manage.
Project Engineer Wickstrom stated that Save Our Street signs are put
up for local streets only and there are currently no signs for the arterial
streets program, in answer to a question asked by Chairman
Wagner. Chairman Wagner stated that he agreed with only signing the
local street projects. Page 2 of 6
PW.1 Page 15 of 66
Member Osborne asked where the funds will come from for the
anticipated budget amendment. Project Engineer Wickstrom answered
that there is currently an unbudgeted fund balance in the 105 fund,
which may be used in part to fund the budget adjustment. Project
Engineer Wickstrom stated that there is approximately $1.5M
unbudgeted in the 105 fund at this time.
The Committee and staff discussed the importance of keeping at least
$1M unbudgeted in the 105 fund.
It was moved by Vice-Chair Peloza, seconded by Member Osborne,
that the Committee recommend City Council grant permission to
advertise for bids for Project No. CP1302, 2013 Pavement Patching,
Chipseal, and Overlay Project.
Motion carried 3-0.
D. Public Works Project No. CP1224 (Wickstrom)
2013 Local Street Pavement Reconstruction Project
Project Engineer distributed the revised agenda bill, identifying the
lowest responsible bidder, Rodarte Construction Inc, and the proposed
contract amount.
Project Engineer Wickstrom reported that the lowest responsible bid is
approximately $400,000.00 below the engineer’s estimate for the
project.
It was moved by Vice-Chair Peloza, seconded by Member Osborne,
that the Committee recommend City Council award Contract No. 13-
04 to Rodarte Construction on Their Low Bid of $2,004,907.40, plus
Washington State Sales Tax of $50,968.17, for a Total Contract Price
of $2,055,875.57 for Project No. CP1224, 2013 Local Street Pavement
Reconstruction Project.
Motion carried 3-0.
E. Public Works Project No. C207A (Gaub)
A Street NW Extension
Assistant City Engineer Gaub answered questions asked by Vice-
Chair Peloza regarding the final pay estimate, explaining that the
project was heavily scrutinized by the Department of Ecology during
construction so there were additional erosion control measures that
had to be taken through out the entire construction period. Gaub
stated the project also went through a second winter season which
was not originally planned due to the time required to complete the
preloading. Page 3 of 6
PW.1 Page 16 of 66
Assistant City Engineer Gaub noted that on the last page of the pay
estimate it shows that the overall final contract amount is at 101% of
the approved contract amount.
It was moved by Vice-Chair Peloza, seconded by Member Osborne,
that the Committee recommend City Council approve Final Pay
Estimate No. 20 to Contract No. 11-13 in the Amount of $9,368.53 and
Accept Construction of Project No. C207A, A Street NW Extension.
Motion carried 3-0.
III. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Initiation of 2013 Arterial and Collector Crackseal Project (Wickstrom)
Project Engineer Wickstrom stated that in 2012, 10 miles of crackseal
was completed and this year there are not a lot of good candidates for
cracksealing because of the amount of crackseal and chipseal
completed in previous years, in response to a question asked by
Chairman Wagner.
Project Engineer Wickstrom stated that he has estimated that
approximately $60,000.00 will be needed for the crackseal project and
the remainder of the funds, in the amount of $40,000.00 can be used
for the Patching, Chipseal, and Overlay project.
Chairman Wagner noted the decrease in cracked pavement in the
City. Chairman Wagner asked if there is written criteria to determine
which cracks get sealed. Wickstrom stated that any single crack gets
sealed up until the point the crack has started to alligator. Project
Engineer Wickstrom explained that the crack sealing details are
discussed with the contractor at the pre-construction meeting and the
contractor is provided with a map noting where to start and stop the
crackseal work.
Project Engineer Wickstrom answered questions asked by Chairman
Wagner regarding the life of a crackseal treatment.
The Committee and staff discussed the joint project with the City of
Algona on Boundary Boulevard near O Street.
B. Capital Project Status Report (Gaub)
Item 6 – C201A – M Street Underpass Project: Chairman Wagner
asked if M Street is still on schedule to open in July 2013 and if there
is a specific opening date. Assistant City Engineer Gaub answered
that the project is on schedule but there is no specific date yet. The
contractor is starting to get close to working on the pavement under Page 4 of 6
PW.1 Page 17 of 66
the bridges; however, there is still a significant amount of work to
complete before the roadway can be opened to traffic.
The Committee and Mayor Lewis discussed the official ribbon cutting
for the underpass.
Item 12 & 13 – Auburn Way South Corridor Improvements: Assistant
City Engineer Gaub stated that the undergrounding of power lines will
be on the north side of the road and that staff is also still in the process
of completing the property acquisition, both of which will take time and
contribute to the delay of when construction will begin, in response to
a question asked by Member Osborne.
The Committee, Mayor Lewis, and staff discussed collecting data on
traffic follow on Auburn Way South during the week of the 4th of
July. Mayor Lewis recommended using the traffic cameras to collect
the data and complete traffic modeling from SR18 to Academy.
C. Significant Infrastructure Projects by Others - Public Works Status
Report (Gaub)
Item 5 – Reddington Levee: Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle
stated that there will be significant hauling during the project and the
City will work to mitigate the impacts to citizen as much as possible, in
response to a comment made by Chairman Wagner. Haul routes have
not yet been submitted. Assistant City Engineer Gaub stated that staff
will put out construction notices just prior to the start of construction as
was done for the Puget Sound Energy work that is being done in
association with the project.
Mayor Lewis discussed communication that he has had with citizens
who have been affected by the project.
The Committee, Mayor Lewis, and Director Dowdy discussed the
project’s permitting process. Chairman Wagner asked that there be a

V. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. April 2013 Financial Report (Coleman)
Finance Director Coleman presented the April 2013 Monthly Financial
Report. Through April, General Fund expenses totaled $16.9 million
compared to expenditures of $15.4 million for the same period last
year. The increase in year-over-year expenses is primarily due to the
payment of SCORE debt service principal (prior to 2013, debt service
payments were interest only), settlement of collective bargaining
agreements, and increased payments for incarceration services
(current period payments are based on prior year City inmate counts).
The increase in expenses is partially offset by the year-over-year
reduction in Municipal Court and probation costs due to the
outsourcing of court services.
General Fund revenues for April were $19.7 million and exceed the
budget by $1.1 million. The revenues include the first half of property
tax revenues. The increase in revenues is primarily due to the
increase in building permit revenues and sales tax revenues. Director
Coleman noted that previously $2.0 million of property tax revenue
would go to the Save Our Streets Fund; now all property tax
revenue comes to the General Fund.
Member Holman noted that the current incarceration costs are based
on last year's average daily jail population, but with the current
reduction of about fifty percent of the inmate count, costs will be
reduced in the future. Member Holman estimated a savings of
approximately $1.7 million from the outsourcing of the court and
probation services to King County.
There was brief discussion regarding SCORE staffing levels, jail
population, and jail services contracts.
Finance Director Coleman noted that the City assessed approximately
$400,000.00 less in property tax in 2013 compared to 2012 as the City
has reached its property tax cap maximum. Per City Council policy,
effective January 1, 2013, $2.0 million in property tax revenue will no
longer be transferred to the Local Street Fund for street repair and
Page 3 of 4
FN.1 Page 23 of 66
maintenance. All sales tax revenue from construction is transferred to
the Local Street Fund for street repair and maintenance.
Approximately $511,941.00 in construction sales tax has been
transferred through April 2013.
Committee members reviewed utility tax, cable tv franchise fees,
licenses and permits, intergovernmental revenue, charges for
services, fines and penalties, photo enforcement, real estate excise
tax, and pet licensing. Director Coleman noted that during the month
of May, 585 pet licenses were sold. Pet licensing revenue in May (not
included in the April monthly report) is $16,424.00.
Finance Director Coleman noted the water utility ended April with a
$17,200.00 net operating loss compared to approximately $50,000.00
in net operating income in 2012. Director Coleman attributed the
loss to the purchase of wholesale water while some City wells are off
line for repair. Additionally, the highest months for water production
and revenue are August through October.
Year-to-date rounds at the Golf Course are 9,596 compared to 8,671
rounds in 2012. The Golf Course ended April with a net operating loss
of $304,700.00 compared to a loss of $305,900.00 for the same period
last year. Chair Partridge stated that it appears that the City received
less revenue for more rounds and requested additional information to
explain the variables.
The Cemetery Fund ended April with $33,000.00 in net operating
income compared to a $50,400.00 net operating loss for the same
period last year.
B. Auburn School District Impact Fees (Coleman)
Committee members reviewed the Auburn School District report on
school impact fees for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2012. The
report was presented for information only.

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council adopt Ordinance No. 6469
Background Summary:
Every 3 years the International Code Council updates all volumes of the International
Building Code which includes the International Residential Code, International Plumbing
and Mechanical Codes, International Fire Code, and International Property Maintenance
Codes. Pursuant to Chapter 19.27 RCW, the Washington State Building Code Council is
provided the authority to amend and adopt the International Code series which then
becomes the state building code under which all jurisdictions are required to implement.
Once the State Building Code Council releases its amendments local jurisdictions have
an opportunity to make local amendments provided they are more restrictive than the
International Codes and/or the State amendments (RCW 19.27.040). Title 15 of the
Auburn City Code includes a number of Chapters that make up the City's building
code. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 18, 2013 and after
deliberation and further modification of the staff recommendation, recommended
approval of amendments to Title 15 ACC.

Background Summary:
The City of Auburn has a long tradition of support for veterans of the United States military forces
and is the site of one of the largest and longest running Veterans Day parades in the country.
The people of Auburn have a great admiration and utmost gratitude for all the men and women
who have selflessly served their country, state and city in the Armed Forces.
The Purple Heart is the oldest decoration in present use and was initially created as the Badge
of Military Merit by George Washington in 1782. The Purple Heart was the first American service
award and decoration available to the common soldier and is specifically awarded to any
member of the United States Armed Services wounded or killed in combat.
Many citizens of our city have earned the Purple Heart Medal. Auburn's designation as a Purple
Heart City will recognize and honor the service and sacrifices of our nation's men and women in
uniform who have been wounded or killed by the enemy while serving to protect the freedoms
enjoyed by all Americans.
