Moratorium on Marijuana/Cannabis Related Businesses

Resolution No. 5194

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council to conduct the required public hearing.
Background Summary:
On January 4, 2016, the City Council passed Resolution No. 5194, establishing a
moratorium on marijuana related businesses and uses. The moratorium resolution
provided, pursuant to statute, a public hearing, which public hearing was scheduled
for February 16, 2016. This resolution included a work plan which, pursuant to the
authority of the state statute, was set for a term of one year, it could be amended,
extended or terminated by the City Council.
The reason for the moratorium was because the City Council needs that time to look
at the factors involved in more marijuana related business because of (in light of)
certain changes implemented by the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board
stemming from recent enactments of the Washington State Legislature.
Initially, following voter approval of Initiative Number 502 (I-502), the limitation on the
number of marijuana retail businesses was established for jurisdictions across the
state, which included a maximum of two retail marijuana establishments for the city of
Auburn. Pursuant to the expanded authority of recent legislative action, the Liquor and
Cannabis Board advised the city it would be increasing that number for the City of
Auburn (as it was also doing for other cities across the state).
Curiously, the letter advising cities of this change notified cities that they may need to
impose moratoria if they wish to take steps to control the number of retail marijuana
establishments. However, the city has been advised by the Liquor and Cannabis
Board that it will not recognize moratoria. It is unknown whether this was directed
specifically at the City of Auburn or more generally to other cities in this state.
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDPH.1 Page 4 of 109
Not only in light of the expanded authority of the Liquor and Cannabis Board but also
in light of the potential increase in the number of retail marijuana establishments, staff
felt it was appropriate that the City Council implement a moratorium until the City
could determine how it should approach marijuana business issues in light of the
changing landscape.
The public hearing scheduled for February 16, 2016, is to receive comments from the
public regarding the moratorium and to get the City Council a sense of where the
community may be with respect to the issues involved.

visioning goals for the City. She introduced Andrew Ballard from Marketing

Mr. Ballard explained the process the Council and staff will participate in. The
group will create three high level goals, then break up into teams and each team
will make a presentation on strategies on how to attain the goal. Everyone not on
that team will have the opportunity to have input to the other team's ideas.
The group reviewed the objective of the meeting, to come to a consensus on a
strategic plan with a short set of priority goals, strategies and initiatives that fit the
City's mission statement of: To provide a service oriented government that meets
the needs of our citizens and business community.
The directors reviewed initiatives that are in progress in each of their
departments. The group identified strengths within the City including a defined
downtown, good geographical location, a strong financial foundation, great
regional relationships, community pride, good existing leadership by Mayor and
Council and directors, collaborative culture with key stakeholders, great parks
and entertainment within the City, good public safety creating a safe community
and outstanding city services. The group identified weaknesses within the City
including: lack of follow through with property management, public perception,
low self-image of City by citizens, under developed post-secondary education,
lack of diversity among decision makers, limited revenue opportunities, City
leaders not good storytellers /promoters, constraints on resources and time, lack
of long term planning with key stakeholders and a risk adverse City culture. The Page 1 of 4

Background Summary:
The City has two outstanding bond issues eligible for refunding which would take

which were issued for the construction of airport hangar rows 9 and 10 and the golf

The refunding will be considered a private placement versus a public sale. Investors

who at the date of the actual execution of the Bond, are the proper officers of the City, although
at the original date of such Bond any such person shall not have been such officer of the City.
Section 7. Application of Bond Proceeds; Plan of Refunding. For the purpose of
debt service savings, the City proposes to defease and/or refund each series of the Refunded

-12-
10120 00003 fa05gn21ry.002
the Refunding Candidates as Refunded Bonds and such designation shall be set forth in the
Escrow Agreement.
A portion of the proceeds of the Bond shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant
to the Escrow Agreement to be used immediately upon receipt thereof to defease the Refunded
Bonds as authorized by the 2005 Bond Ordinance and the 2006A Bond Ordinance, as applicable,
and to pay costs of issuance of the Bond. The net proceeds deposited with the Escrow Agent and
any interest earnings on any Acquired Obligations will provide for the payment of:
(1) interest on each series of Refunded Bonds as such becomes due on
and prior to the applicable Call Date; and
(2) the redemption price (100 percent of the principal amount) of each
series of Refunded Bonds on the applicable Call Date.
Such Acquired Obligations shall be purchased at a yield not greater than the yield
permitted by the Code and regulations relating to acquired obligations in connection with
refunding bond issues.
A beginning cash balance, if any, and the Acquired Obligations, if any, shall be deposited
irrevocably with the Escrow Agent in an amount sufficient to defease the Refunded Bonds. In
order to carry out the purposes of this Section 7, the Finance Director is authorized and directed
to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent, an Escrow Agreement.

ORD.A Page 53 of 109
-13-
10120 00003 fa05gn21ry.002
Said defeasance and call for redemption of the Refunded Bonds shall be irrevocable after
the issuance of the Bond and delivery of the proceeds of such Bond and/or Acquired Obligations
to the Escrow Agent.
The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to provide for the giving of notices
of the defeasance and/or redemption of the Refunded Bonds in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the 2005 Bond Ordinance and the 2006A Bond Ordinance. The costs of
publication of such notices shall be an expense of the City.
The City will take such actions as are found necessary to see that all necessary and proper
fees, compensation and expenses of the Escrow Agent for the Refunded Bonds shall be paid
when due.
Section 8. Tax Covenants. The City will take all actions necessary to assure the
exclusion of interest on the Bond from the gross income of the owners of the Bond to the same
extent as such interest is permitted to be excluded from gross income under the Code as in effect
on the date of issuance of the Bond, including but not limited to the following:
(a) Private Activity Bond Limitation. The City will assure that the proceeds of the
Bond are not so used as to cause the Bond to satisfy the private business tests of Section 141(b)
of the Code or the private loan financing test of Section 141(c) of the Code.
(b) Limitations on Disposition of Project. The City will not sell or otherwise transfer
or dispose of (i) any personal property components of the projects financed with proceeds of the
Refunded Bonds (the “Projects”) other than in the ordinary course of an established government
program under Treasury Regulation 1.141-2(d)(4) or (ii) any real property components of the
Projects, unless it has received an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such disposition
ORD.A Page 54 of 109
-14-
10120 00003 fa05gn21ry.002
will not adversely affect the treatment of interest on the Bond as excludable from gross income
for federal income tax purposes.
(c) Federal Guarantee Prohibition. The City will not take any action or permit or
suffer any action to be taken if the result of such action would be to cause the Bond to be
“federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code.
(d) Rebate Requirement. The City will take any and all actions necessary to assure
compliance with Section 148(f) of the Code, relating to the rebate of excess investment earnings,
if any, to the federal government, to the extent that such section is applicable to the Bond.
(e) No Arbitrage. The City will not take, or permit or suffer to be taken by the
Escrow Agent or otherwise, any action with respect to the proceeds of the Bond which, if such
action had been reasonably expected to have been taken, or had been deliberately and
intentionally taken, on the date of issuance of the Bond would have caused the Bond to be an
“arbitrage bond” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code.
(f) Registration Covenant. The City will maintain a system for recording the
ownership of the Bond that complies with the provisions of Section 149 of the Code until the
Bond has been surrendered and canceled.
(g) Record Retention. The City will retain its records of all accounting and
monitoring it carries out with respect to the Bond for at least three years after the Bond matures
or is redeemed (whichever is earlier); however, if the Bond is redeemed and refunded, the City
will retain its records of accounting and monitoring at least three years after the earlier of the
maturity or redemption of the obligations that refunded the Bond.
(h) Compliance with Federal Tax Certificate. The City will comply with the
provisions of the Federal Tax Certificate with respect to the Bond, which are incorporated herein
ORD.A Page 55 of 109
-15-

Council. The ordinance re-authorizing the issuance and sale of such Bond may be in the form of

possession, the Registered Owner may elect upon final payment of principal and interest of the
Bond to surrender a photocopy of the Bond for cancellation at the office of the Bond Registrar
together with written certification that such Bond was actually lost, stolen or destroyed and of its
ownership thereof.
Section 14. Severability; Ratification. If any one or more of the covenants or
agreements provided in this ordinance to be performed on the part of the City shall be declared
by any court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, then such covenant or covenants,
agreement or agreements, shall be null and void and shall be deemed separable from the

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council adopt Ordinance No. 6588.
Background Summary:
Ordinance No. 6588 levies a .0209% sales tax credit against the state sales tax for
local revitalization financing. SB 5045 authorizing the tax credit was passed by the
state legislature during the 2009 regular session. The intent of the legislation was to
provide financial assistance to Cities to assist with financing public improvements in
an identified revitalization area to promote community and economic development.
The City first applied for the use of local revitalization financing on August 11, 2009
and the Department of Revenue approved the City’s application on September 16,
2009, authorizing up to $250,000 per year for the local revitalization program
(Promenade capital improvements).
In 2010, the City issued $7.24 million in 2010 C/D Bonds for the purpose of funding
capital improvements for the Promenade. Annual debt service payments for these
bonds continue through the year 2035. Funds from EDA grants, combined with
REET2 funds and interest earnings, are used to pay for the annual debt service costs
of the local revitalization project. As of the end of 2015, the remaining principal
balance is $6.1 million.
The tax credit is available to the City for up to 25 years. 2016 will be the seventh year
that the City has asked the State for the tax credit. As provided by the state, in order
for the City to continue receiving the tax credit, the City must request this each year by
Ordinance.
Based upon historical taxable retail sales, the above rate of .0209% is estimated to
generate $250,000 for local revitalization funding during the State’s fiscal year, July 1,
2016 to June 30, 2017.

THIS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT made and entered into, pursuant to the Interlocal
Cooperation Act, Chapter 39.34 of the Revised Code of Washington, on the _____ day of
__________________, 2016, by and between the CITY OF AUBURN, a municipal
corporation of the State of Washington (hereinafter referred to as the “City”), and the
Valley Regional Fire Authority, a municipal corporation of the State of Washington
(hereinafter referred to as “VRFA”),
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, VRFA seeks geographic information systems (“GIS”) technology services;
and
WHEREAS, the City has the requisite skills, resources, and experience necessary to
provide such services and is willing and agreeable to provide such services upon the
terms and conditions herein contained.
NOW THEREFORE in consideration of their mutual covenants, conditions and promises,
the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The City agrees to perform for VRFA, in a competent and professional manner the tasks
specific to GIS support of the VRFA described on Exhibit A which is attached hereto
and by this reference made a part of this Agreement. The tasks described on Exhibit A
shall be individually referred to as a “task,” and collectively referred to as the “services.”
The City shall perform the services as an independent contractor and shall not be
deemed, by virtue of this Agreement and the performance thereof, to have entered into
any partnership, joint venture, employment or other relationship with VRFA. The City
shall perform the services described in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and by this
reference made a part of this Agreement.
2. AMENDMENT REQUIRED FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES
In the event additional GIS services are required by VRFA or reduction in services are
necessary beyond those specified in Exhibit A and the compensation listed in Exhibit B
of this agreement, and further provided that the City has the time and resources to
provide such additional services and is willing to provide such services, a contract
amendment shall be set forth in writing and shall be executed by the respective parties
prior to the City’s performance of the additional GIS services, except as may be
provided to the contrary in Section 3 of this Agreement. Upon proper completion and
execution of an Amendment for additional services, such Amendment shall be
incorporated into this Agreement and shall have the same force and effect as if the

performance of services pursuant to an Amendment shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement except where the Amendment provides to the contrary, in

respects, any Amendment shall supplement and be construed in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.
3. PERFORMANCE OF ADDITIONAL SERVICES PRIOR TO EXECUTION OF AN
AMENDMENT
The parties hereby agree that situations may arise in which GIS services other than
those described on Exhibit A are desired by VRFA and the time period for the
completion of such services makes the execution of Amendment impractical prior to the
commencement of the City’s performance of the requested services. The City hereby
agrees that it shall perform such services upon the request of an authorized
representative of VRFA at a rate of compensation to be mutually negotiated in
connection therewith. Any such additional GIS services shall be memorialized in a
