Enforcement for the 1 st quarter of 2014. Red Light violations continue

quarter figures from 2010. Chair Peloza inquired about the increase
from 2013 at 8th /Harvey (SB) and whether or not records indicate the
time of day for the violations. AC Pierson stated that staff will
research whether or not this information is tracked and will provide the
data on the next quarterly report, if it is available. School zone

violations continue to show reductions, as well, with the exception of
Mt. Baker. The number of collisions and injuries also decreased
except for the intersection at 8th Street NE and Harvey Rd NE. Chair
Peloza believes that it would be beneficial to know the types of
collisions that are occurring at this intersection. AC Pierson will
research this type of information for the next quarterly report. Finance
Director Shelley Coleman provided a financial update on RedFlex.
Committee discussion followed.
B. Cemetery Update (Faber)
Parks, Arts & Recreation Director Daryl Faber updated the Committee
on the Cemetery for the 1 st quarter of 2014. Cemetery operations
were consistent with 2013. Interments increased, there was a slight
increase in revenue and expenditures remained at the same level.
The net working capital increased by approximately $58,000.00 in this
period. The cemetery is trending in the right direction with continued
marketing efforts. Committee discussion followed.
C. Animal Control Licensing Program /AVHS Board Review (Coleman)
Finance Director, Shelley Coleman, provided an update on the Auburn
Valley Humane Society (AVHS) recent Board meeting and Animal
Control Licensing operations for 1st quarter 2014. Licensing revenues
are up over the last year with the average just over $12,000.00. The
Licensing revenue goal of $240,000.00 would need to average
$20,000.00 per month. Veterinary offices have not been selling
licenses. Director Coleman shared that the City and King County
Regional Animal Services are aware that on average about 18 -20% of
the pets get licensed which means there is a large population that are
not being licensed. King County is working towards requiring
veterinarians to submit information whenever a pet receives a rabies
vaccination. The information would then be sent to the specific
jurisdiction (City of Auburn, for example) for them to follow -up on
licensing. For local veterinarians selling licenses is not a priority
but having a requirement to comply on the rabies vaccinations would
benefit license revenues. The AVHS reports that adoption rates for
cats have increased which means shelter numbers have decreased
considerably. Operations and fund raising year to date for Shelter
revenue totaled $165,268.00 which is 106% of the combined YTD
revenue budget. Committee discussion followed.
D. SCORE Jail Stats (Coleman)
Shelley Coleman, Finance Director, briefed the Committee on SCORE
jail statistics through March 2014. The Adult Daily Population (ADP)
for 2015 has been established based on the average ADP from
4/1/2013 through 3/31/2014. Auburn's average ADP for 2015 is set at
69. This represents a percentage drop from 27.36% to 23.81 %; a
3.55% decrease. For the first time, Auburn will not be in the top two of
Page 3 of 4
member cities as far as average ADP. SCORE's 2015 operating
budget has not been determined but contract beds have increased
significantly over the past 12 months. Finance is projecting the 2015
budget to be in the $24M range. The ADP reduction is providing a
significant cost savings for the city. Committee discussion followed.
E. Project Matrix
