C. Agenda Modifications
1. Resolution No. 5110 (Heid)
An agenda modification for Resolution No: 5110 was presented
by City Attorney Dan Heid. Resolution No. 5110 authorizes the
Mayor to negotiate and execute interlocal agreements between
the City of�4uburn and King County and the cities of Bellevue,
Federal Way, Issaquah, Kent, Kirkla.nd, Mercer Island,
Redmond, Renton, Seattle and Tukwila for the establishment,
implementation and operation of the Puget Sou.nd Emergency
Radio Network System (PSERN).
Mr. Heid explained that the agreement is to establish a
replacement emergency radio system since the exiting system
is outdated. King County is planning to place a bond issue on
the ballot for April 2015. This agreement in discussion is nof in
full and complete final form. Presented are the most current
collection of terms that have been developed. Exh'ibit A is for the
formation mechanism that will creafe the radio system and is for
all parties that currently have radio systems. Exhibit B will be the
Page 1 of 4
operation system which will be a separate non-profit. If the bond
issue is approved by the voters for the replacement radio
system, the end result is to become one network instead of
mulfiple networks which will place all user groups under one
common umbrella.
Mayor Backus stressed that the existing equipment must be
replaced due to the fact that fhe current vendor, Motorola, will
no longer support the equipment after 2017. The bond is
designated for equipment only. Mr. Heid stated that userfees
will provide the operational costs. All Cities will have a user
agreement. The City of Aubu�n's outlay will most likely be
included in the 2020/21 budget.
Vice Chair Osborne moved and Member DaCorsi seconded to
move Resolution No. 5110 to full council for consideration.
Motion carried unanimously. 3-0
II. CONSENT AGENDA
q, Minutes - October 27, 2014 (Peloza)
Vice Chair Osborne moved and Member DaCorsi seconded to
approve the October 27, 2104 Municipal Services Committee

III. ACTION
A. Resolution No. 5096 (Miller)
Emergency Preparedness Manager Sarah Miller presented
Resolution No. 5096 to the Committee. Resolution No. 5096 will
authorize the adoption of the 2014 King County Regional Hazard
Mitigation Plan including the City of Auburn Plan Annex.
Ms. Miller stated that the City of Auburn was a signatory to the King
County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan in the past but conducted a
"stand alone'' mitigation plan in 2014. If this plan is adopted, it would
put the City of Auburn on the same cycle as the county so the city
would always be part of the King County plan. Having a Hazard
Mitigation plan makes the City eligible for Hazardous Mitigation
grants, two of which are in process; Public Works and IT. Ms. Miller
informed the Committee that the City of Auburn cannot make any
changes to this document except to the Ciry of Auburn Annex.
Committee discussion was held. Vice Chair Osborne inquired as to
the Crifical Facilities list on page 85 and about any federal facilities
Page 2 of 4
within the city of Auburn. Ms. Miller explained that the facilities are
specified by the Federal government as to what is designated as a
critical facility. Vice Chair Osborne suggested that the FAA facility
located in Auburn should be on the list.
Chair Peloza inquired as to why the City of Auburn is not a member
of the Cities Climate change partnership as listed on page 108. Ms.
Miller stated that she does not believe we are part of that specific
partnership and the document implies that it is an Eastside
collaboration, with the exception of Tukw'ila.
Vice Chair Osborne considered the 500 Year Flood Plan shown on
page 199 and asked how these critical facilities were determined,
especially for schools. Vice Chair Osborne stipulated that Cascade
Middle School would be affected.
Ms. Miller will check into these issues and report back to the
Committee.
Vice Chair Osborne moved and Member DaCorsi seconded to move
Resolution No. 5096 to full council for consideration.
Motion carried unanimously. 3-0
