Administrative Recommendation: City Council to introduce and adopt Resolution No. 5235 authorizing
the city to expend funds to abate public nuisances and vegetation at 304 T Street SE, 1322 17th Street

Background Summary:
The City of Auburn conducts progressive code enforcement action in accordance with Chapter 1.25 (Civil
Penalties for Violations) and other applicable Titles and Chapters of the Auburn City Code. The City of
Auburn opened code compliance cases for 10 properties in the first half of 2016 related to issues such as
unmaintained vegetation, litter, junk, debris, unpermitted buildings, unauthorized grading activities and
inoperable vehicles. Consistent with standard operating procedure, code enforcement officers attempted
to obtain compliance by working with the owners of the properties. A formal Notice to Correct has been
issued for each property however inadequate action has been taken to remedy the subject violations or
there has been demonstrated non-compliance in prior years for the same violation that is present today.
Subsequent formal Notices of Penalty and/or Infractions have been issued for each property however
each property remains in a state of non-compliance.
Community Development Code Enforcement staff have determined that the current condition of these
properties, pertaining to the identified public nuisances, warrant abatement action by the City of Auburn.
The passage of this Resolution would authorize the Mayor or designee to engage in substantive
abatement action. The condition of these properties, in staff’s professional determination, present a threat
to the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of the surrounding properties and negatively
impacts the community’s quality of life. The 10 properties are identified as follows:
· 304 T Street SE – unmaintained vegetation
o Case #VIO16-0244 – Notice to Correct issued on May 13, 2016 with a compliance deadline of
May 20, 2016.
· 1322 17th Street NE – unmaintained vegetation
o Graffiti Case #VIO16-0216 – Notice to Correct issued on May 3, 2016 with a compliance deadline
of May 12, 2016. This property is in foreclosure and is vacant. Code Enforcement anticipates
having to continue to return to this property on repeated occasion.
· 911 17th Street NE – unmaintained vegetation, litter and debris, unsecured structure
o Case #VIO16-0173 – Notice to Correct issued on April 15, 2015 with a compliance deadline of
April 21, 2016. This property is vacant. Code Enforcement anticipates having to continue to
return to this property on repeated occasion and has had to address the same repeat violations in
2014 and 2015.
· 12124 SE 314th Place – unmaintained vegetation
o Case #VIO16-0172 – Notice to Correct issued on April 20, 2016 with a compliance deadline of
April 29, 2016. This property is in foreclosure and is vacant. Code Enforcement anticipates
having to continue to return to this property on repeated occasion.
· 32237 46th Place South – unmaintained vegetation, litter and debris, junk/inoperable vehicles,
unpermitted buildings, buildings within setbacks
o Case #VIO16-0033 – Notice to Correct issued on January 4. 2016 with a compliance deadline of
February 1, 2016; Notice of Infraction issued February 5, 2016; Municipal Court upheld issuance
of Infraction on April 29, 2016.
· 714 8th Street SE – unmaintained vegetation, litter and debris, unsecured structure
o Case #VIO16-0052 – Notice to Correct issued on February 12, 2016 with a compliance deadline

of February 19, 2016; Notice of Penalty issued on March 1, 2016.
· 1235 23rd Street SE – unmaintained vegetation, litter and debris, junk/inoperable vehicles
o Case #VIO16-0053 – Notice to Correct issued on February 12, 2016 with a compliance deadline
of February 19, 2016; Notice of Penalty issued on March 7, 2016; Notice of Infraction issued on
February 24, 2016 and March 25, 2016.
· Parcel Number 3327020460 – unmaintained vegetation
o Case #VIO16-0203 – Notice to Correct issued on April 28, 2016 with a compliance deadline of
May 6, 2016; Notice of Infraction issued on May 12, 2016. The same violations occurred in 2015
for this property without any attempt on the property owner to resolve the issues.
· Parcel Number 0221049122 – unauthorized grading and clearing, unmanaged stormwater and lack of
erosion control
o Case #VIO16-0027 – Notice to Correct was issued on January 28, 2016 with a compliance
deadline of February 12, 2016; Notice of Penalty was issued on May 12, 2016.
· Parcel Number 0221049179 – unauthorized grading and clearing, unmanaged stormwater and lack of
erosion control
o Case #VIO15-0629 – Notice to Correct was issued on January 28, 2016 with a compliance
deadline of February 12, 2016; Notice of Penalty was issued on February 24, 2016; Notice of
Infraction was issued on March 30, 2016.
Following passage of the Resolution by the City Council, staff will provide notification to the property
owner of the abatement authority. Once notice has been provided the property owner has 3 days to
remedy the violation before any abatement action occurs. Often times, abatement notification is effective
at getting the property owner to take the necessary action. As a result, it is not uncommon for Code
Enforcement to no longer need to exercise the abatement action. In the event the property owner fails to
comply, Code Enforcement will contract with a qualified service provider to conduct cleanup of the
exterior portions of the property, and/or securing of structures, and/or removal of inoperable vehicles.
Staff anticipates that there may be a need to conduct on-going clean up and securement activity until the
City can obtain compliance action from the ownership entity. All costs associated with first time and on-
going abatement actions will be applied as a lien against the property that will have to be paid in order for
any future sale of the property to occur.
The City will also track and apply all administrative costs (staff time, court cots, filing fees, etc.) associated
with the conduct of abatement against this property and apply them as a lien against the property as well.
Community Development has adequate budget capacity within the abatement line item in our 2015
budget to cover anticipated costs associated with abatement actions potentially through the remainder of
the calendar year. These anticipated costs range between $500 and $2,000 per property. However, as
noted above, it is likely that the notice of abatement action will result in the property owner taking the
necessary action(s) which allows the City to avoid incurring abatement costs.

unmaintained for several months which qualifies the property as an attractive
nuisance and presents a threat to the public health and safety. The condition
of the vegetation at the Property has remained unmaintained which
contributes to visual blight, property value degradation, attraction of criminal
activity, and the harborage of rodents and pests.
c) The property at 911 17th Street NE has remained vacant and
unmaintained for at least two years which qualifies the property as an
attractive nuisance and presents a threat to the public health and safety. The
condition of the vegetation and junk/trash at the Property has remained
unmaintained which contributes to visual blight, property value degradation,
attraction of criminal activity, and the harborage of rodents and pests.

trash to accumulate all of which qualifies the property as an attractive
nuisance and presents a threat to the public health and safety. The condition
of the junk/trash, unpermitted structures, and junk/inoperable vehicles at the
Property has remained unmaintained which contributes to visual blight,
property value degradation, attraction of criminal activity, and the harborage of
rodents and pests.
f) The property at 714 8th Street SE has remained unmaintained for
several months which qualifies the property as an attractive nuisance and
presents a threat to the public health and safety. The condition of the

i) The property at 0221049122 was cleared and graded without
permits which qualifies the property as an attractive nuisance and presents a
threat to the public health and safety. In addition to the failure to obtain a
grading permit, the condition of the Property continues to lack stormwater
management and erosion control techniques.
j) The property at 0221049179 was cleared and graded without
permits which qualifies the property as an attractive nuisance and presents a
threat to the public health and safety. In addition to the failure to obtain a
grading permit, the condition of the Property continues to lack stormwater
management and erosion control techniques.

Ordinance No. 6600
Budget Impact:
$0
Administrative Recommendation:
For discussion only.
Background Summary:
The proposed ordinance would modify the City’s regulations for the keeping of
animals on residential properties, as summarized below. Discussions were held with
the Planning Commission in February 2, and March 8, of this year along with a final
presentation on May 3rd followed up with a formal public hearing conducted on May
17th.
The Planning Commission’s recommendation of proposed changes is summarized as
follows:
1) add new definitions and regulations for beekeeping
2) update definitions and regulations for keeping domestic fowl (e.g. chickens)
3) modify the definition for small domestic animals (“household pets”) to except
animals such as fish
4) modify and clarify the definition for medium domestic animals (e.g. miniature goats)
5) modify and clarify the definition for large domestic animals (e.g. horses)
6) combine the existing two code sections that contain the regulations for keeping
animals into one section, update incorrect or non-applicable code verbiage (e.g.
licensing requirements for potbelly pigs does not exist) in these sections, and other
general updates (e.g. add chicken coops must meet setbacks)
7) add section that requires existing areas or structures housing animals to meet
these updated Code provisions for setbacks within 30 days of notification by the City.
Language is included that allows a request for extension beyond the 30 days.
Additionally, at the May 17th public hearing, the Planning Commission initiated a
discussion about the maximum number of small domestic animals (e.g. cats and
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.B Page 17 of 144
dogs) that a property owner is allowed to have on their property. Staff did not initiate
this conversation nor did any members of the public. The Planning Commission
looked at a section of code that has been in place since prior to the mid 1980’s which
establishes the limit of domestic animals at four (4). While the purpose of the staff
initiated amendments was to address targeted areas of the existing code, the limit of 4
small domestic animals is not an area that staff believed needed to be
changed. Nonetheless, the Planning Commission asked staff why the limit was set at
4. Not knowing that this would be an area of concern, Staff did not know the history of
how the number 4 was derived. The Planning Commission felt that this limitation was
arbitrary and voted to recommend that it be increased to 5. Staff has no basis for
recommending that this limit be increased from 4 to 5 and believes that 5 is equally
arbitrary. Additionally, since staff is not able to produce documentation that the
existing limit of 4 is problematic, staff is a bit perplexed at the rational for changing the
limit from 4 to 5. A change to 5 animals would also necessitate a further change to
ACC 6.04.040 “Maximum number of dogs or cats”. Staff encourages City Council
to consider the appropriateness of this part of the Planning Commission’s
recommendation.

Quarterly Financial Report
Budget Impact:

Administrative Recommendation:
For discussion only.
Background Summary:
The purpose of the quarterly financial report is to summarize for the City Council the
general state of Citywide financial affairs and to highlight significant items or trends
that the City Council should be aware of. The following provides a high level summary
of the City’s financial performance; further details can be found within the attached
financial report.
The first quarter status report is based on financial data available as of June 1, 2016
for the period ending March 31, 2016. Sales tax information represents business
activity that occurred through January 2016.
General Fund:
The General Fund is the City’s largest fund and accounts for the majority of City
resources and services, other than those required by statute to be accounted for in
another fund.
Through March 2016, General Fund revenues totaled $11.6 million compared to a
budget of $11.1 million and were $0.1 million higher than the revenues collected for
the same period in 2015. Notable variances to budget in the first quarter of 2016
include:
•Property tax collections through Q1-2016 totaled $796,000, which is 11.5% or
$103,000 below budget expectations but exceeded collections in the same
period last year by $12,000, or 1.5%. The majority of property tax revenues are
collected during the months of April and October, coinciding with the due dates
for the County property tax billings.
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.C Page 36 of 144
•The other taxes category performed better than budget through Q1-2016.
Collections in electric and natural gas tax revenues were above budget by
$72,000 and $29,000, respectively. City utility tax revenues were also above
budget by $44,000, and gambling excise tax revenues were above budget by
$102,000. These revenues were somewhat offset by an unfavorable variance in
telephone tax collections of $124,000.
•Development services fees through March totaled $252,000 and exceeded
budget by $90,000. The increased revenues were predominantly attributable to
plan check revenues, which surpassed budget expectations by $60,000.
•Other fees and charges exceeded the year-to-date budget through Q1-2016 by
$102,000, or 43.4%, and exceed Q1-2015 revenue in this category by $45,000.
General Fund expenditures through March totaled $14.3 million as compared with a
budget of $15.4 million. This represents a 6.8% underspend compared to budget.
In the first quarter of 2016, 1,153 pet licenses were sold resulting in $32,560 in
revenue. For the same period in 2015, 1,279 licenses were sold resulting in $36,980
in revenue.
Street Funds:
The City’s three street funds are special revenue funds where the revenue sources
and expenditures are legally restricted. These funds are used for street capital
construction projects, local street repair and arterial street repair and preservation
projects. In Q1-2016, Arterial Street fund revenues collected totaled $140,000 as
compared to collections of $277,000 for the same period in 2015; expenditures totaled
$516,000 as compared to $364,000 spent in the first quarter last year. Local Street
fund revenues exceeded budget expectations for the quarter by $135,000, or 25.0%,
due to higher than anticipated sales tax revenues from local construction projects;
expenditures were virtually at budget. Lastly, Arterial Street Preservation fund
revenues totaled $511,000 as compared to a budget of $504,000, while expenditures
totaled $95,000.
Proprietary Funds:
The City’s seven proprietary funds account for operations with revenues primarily
provided from user fees, charges or contracts for services.
At the end of Q1-2016, the Water fund had net operating income of $738,000
compared to operating income of $772,000 at the end of Q1-2015. The Sewer fund
ended the period with net income of $638,000 compared to income of $527,000 in the
previous year. The Sewer-Metro Utility ended the quarter with a net operating loss of
$40,000 as compared to an operating loss of 215,000 in 2015. Lastly, the Stormwater
Utility ended the quarter with operating income of $713,000 compared to operating
income of $1.1 million for the same period in 2015.

The Cemetery ended Q1-2016 with net operating income of $155,000 compared to
operating income of $123,000 for the same period in 2015.
Internal Service Funds:
Internal Service Funds provide services to other City departments and include
functions such as Insurance, Worker’s Compensation, Facilities, Innovation and
Technology, and Equipment Rental. All funds have sufficient revenues to cover year-
end expenditures.
Investment Portfolio:
The City’s total cash and investments at the end of the quarter was $114.7 million,
and compares to $118.3 million at the end of Q1-2015.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q1-2016
Overview
This financial overview reflects the City’s overall financial position for the fiscal period ending March
31, 2016 and represents financial data available as of May 11, 2016.
Through March 2016, General Fund revenues totaled $11.5 million compared to a budget of $11.1
million, and were $77,000 higher than the revenues collected during the same period in 2015. Some
notable variances to budget year-to-date include:
Property tax collections through Q1-2016 totaled $796,000, which is 11.5% or $103,000
below budget expectations but exceeded collections in the same period last year by
$12,000, or 1.5%. The majority of property tax revenues are collected during the months of
April and October, coinciding with the due dates for the County property tax billings.
General Fund sales tax revenues totaled $3.7 million, exceeding budget by 0.7% or $26,000,
and exceeding 2015 collections by $65,000. The areas of significant increase in sales activity
compared to 2015 were primarily seen in the service, wholesale trade, and transportation
and warehousing categories.
The other taxes category performed better than budget through Q1-2016. Collections in
electric and natural gas tax revenues were above budget by $72,000 and $29,000,
respectively. City utility tax revenues were also above budget by $44,000, and gambling
excise tax revenues were above budget by $102,000. These revenues were somewhat
offset by an unfavorable variance in telephone tax collections of $124,000.
Development services fees through March totaled $252,000 and exceeded budget by
$90,000. The increased revenues were predominately attributable to plan check revenues,
which surpassed budget expectations by $60,000. A significant contributing factor to the
favorability of plan check fee revenues was the Multicare Emergency Room remodel
project.
Culture and recreation revenues exceeded budget by $47,000, and exceeded collections
for the same period last year by $1,000, or 0.23%. Revenue sources with significant
increases compared to Q1-2015 include Auburn Theater ticket sales, the Cultural Arts
Program, and recreational classes, which combined for a total $65,000 of favorable
variance from the same period the prior year. These variances were offset by lower than
expected league fees and Auburn Golf Course greens fees, which totaled $61,000 and
which can vary widely with the seasons.
Other fees and charges exceeded the year-to-date budget through Q1-2016 by $102,000, or
43.4%, and exceed Q1-2015 revenue in this category by $45,000. This was partially due to
purchase card rebates exceeding budget projections by $20,000, or 100%, and the receipt
of a one-time settlement in the City’s favor of $10,600 for past-due leasehold excise tax
(LHET) from a sub-lessee of City-leased property.
General Fund expenditures through the third quarter of 2016 totaled $14.3 million as compared to a
budget of $15.2 million, representing 6.1% less than budget. The Human Resources and Community
and Human Services departments exceeded their allocated budgets through Q1-2016. The
Community and Human Services department represented the largest unfavorable variance
3DI.C Page 41 of 144
Quarterly Financial Report Through Q1-2016
percentage-wise at 44.2% over budget, or $70,200. The principal factor affecting this was an up-front
payment of $60,000 to the City of Renton for joint Human Services funding, which covers the City’s
entire annual expenditures for several service programs
Year-to-date General Fund expenditures ended the period $1.0 million, or 7.8%, higher than the same
period last year. The increase in year-over-year expenditures was attributable to several factors,
including a $155,000 (18.8%) increase in charges paid to Valley Communications for 911 services.
Salary and benefit costs increased by $486,000, or 6.2%, from the same period last year due to
several factors including increased costs associated with healthcare and pension expenses.
Intergovernmental services and payments for the quarter increased by $200,000 from Q1-2015, in
large part due to the timing of budgeted transfers from the General Fund to the Cumulative Reserve
Fund.

Revenues
The combined total of property, sales/use, utility, gambling, and admissions taxes provides
approximately 80% of all resources supporting general governmental activities. The following
section provides additional information on these sources.
Property Tax collections through Q1-2016 totaled $796,000, which is 11.5% or $103,000 below budget
expectations. The property tax collection through Q1-2016 exceeded collections in the same period
last year by $12,000, or 1.5%. The majority of property tax revenues are collected during the months
of April and October, coinciding with the due dates for the County property tax billings. Note that by
mid-May, property tax collections were at $12 million and 68% of total budget. This YTD shortfall at
March 31 is merely a timing difference.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q1-2016
Sales tax collections totaled $4.2 million, of which $3.7 million was distributed to the General Fund
and $524,000 was distributed to the Local Street Fund (SOS) program.* Through March 2016, total
sales tax revenue distributions to the General Fund exceeded budget expectations by $26,000, or
0.7%.
* Beginning in 2013, Local Street Fund (Fund 103) street repairs have been funded from sales taxes on construction.
The total amount transferred year-to-date through Q1-2016 was $524,200. The graphic above presents sales taxes
under the current policy.

1.6%. The business sectors showing the largest increase in revenues compared to last year were the
service, wholesale trade, and transportation and warehousing industries.
Total sales tax revenue on construction, which is transferred to the Local Street Fund (Fund 103) for
local street repair and maintenance, totaled $524,200, which is $5,000 higher than the same period
last year and exceeds year-to-date budgeted revenue by $133,000.

Utility Taxes consist of interfund taxes on City utilities (Water, Sewer, Storm and Solid Waste) and
taxes on external utilities (Electric, Natural Gas, Telephone and Solid Waste). Utility taxes collected
through Q1-2016 totaled $2.4 million and exceeded year-to-date budget by $23,000 or 1.0%.
As shown in the table below, overall utility tax revenues collected year-to-date were $24,000, or 1.0%,
above budget. Favorable variances in City interfund utility tax, Electric tax and Natural Gas tax
revenues more than offset lower than expected collections from the Telecommunication industry.
The April budget amendment, BA#5, reduced this revenue by $200,000. This budget reduction will
be reflected on the next quarterly report for period ending June 30.

Licenses and Permits include business licenses, building permits, plumbing, electric and other
licenses and permit fees. Building permit fees and business licenses make up about 70% of the annual
budgeted revenue in this category.
Building permit revenues collected in through March totaled $239,000, compared to a year-to-date
budget of $308,000. Building permits issued through March total 155, and compares to 190 issued
during the same period in 2015. Major projects contributing revenues this quarter include building
permits for the Estate at Hillside Gardens, Edgeview, and Boeing’s Auburn fabrication plant.
This trend looks dismal as of March 31. Looking forward through the end of May this revenue stands
at $500,000 and 41% of budget which puts this revenue stream back on track.

Business license revenues collected through March totaled $74,000 compared to a budget of
$92,000; these revenues were below budget by $18,000 largely due to timing of collections. The
graphic below reflects the timing of payments by business owners, where the majority of business
license payments are typically collected during the first two months of the year and the last month of
the year. Review of December 2015 receipts shows that there was $63,000 more collected than
anticipated. This again is a timing issue.

Intergovernmental revenues include Grants (Direct & Indirect Federal, State and Local), compact
revenue from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT), intergovernmental and state shared revenues.
Collections to date totaled $1.2 million and were $60,000, or 5.2%, over budget.
Favorable variances in Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax revenue and Liquor Excise revenue more than offset
the reduced revenues received in Federal grant monies, Streamlined Sales Tax, and MIT compact
revenue.
Effective during the state’s 2016 fiscal year budget cycle, the City of Auburn does not qualify for
Criminal Justice High Crime revenues because the City’s crime rate for the last reporting period did
not exceed the statewide average. Therefore, the City of Auburn will not receive these distributions
for reporting periods Q3-2015 through Q2-2016. The estimate fiscal impact to the City of Auburn in
2016 is a reduction in General Fund revenues in the amount of $48,000.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q1-2016
Charges for Services consist of general governmental services, public safety, development service
fees and cultural & recreation fees. Overall, charges for services collected through Q1-2016 totaled
$838,000 compared to a budget of $660,000. Total revenues collected thus far exceed budget by
$173,000, or 26.1%.
General governmental revenues through Q1-2016 totaled $26,000 compared to a budget of $18,000.
Budget expectations for these revenues were revised from the prior year due to the fact that the
City no longer provides services to the City of Algona; therefore the City does not receive
reimbursement for services.
Public safety revenues collected year-to-date totaled $159,000, compared to budget of $130,000.
Public safety revenues consist of revenues generated for Police Officer extra duty overtime, where
officers are contracted for services and reimbursement is made by the hiring contractor. Effective
June 2014, public safety revenue also includes reimbursement from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe
(MIT) for a full-time dedicated Police Officer and associated expenditures.
Development services fee collections, which primarily consist of plan check fees, totaled $252,000
and exceeded budget by $90,000. Total plan check fees collected this quarter totaled $197,000,
compared to a budget of $138,000 and Q1-2015 collections of $307,000. Plan check revenues in Q1-
2016 included revenues from several commercial projects including Auburn MultiCare, Christopher
Garden apartments, and the Promenade Apartment project on Lea Hill. Some of the single family
housing projects included Edgeview, Sonata Hill, and Mountain View North.

Fund 124 – Mitigation Fees
The Mitigation Fees Fund is a Special Revenue Fund funded from revenue from new development,
which is assessed at the time applications are received for development activity. These funds are
used to mitigate costs associated with City growth. In 2015, the revenues in this fund exceeded
budget expectations by $761,000, or 54.6%, due to higher than expected parks and fire impact fees
and parks mitigation fees. Expenditures in 2015 were under budget by $2.7 million, or 68.4%, due to
delays in construction projects.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q1-2016
Proprietary Funds
Detailed income and expense statements for Enterprise and Internal Service funds can be found in
the Appendices at the end of this report. The format has changed and in lieu of a working capital
statement there are now operating and capital fund reports for most of these funds. The operating
fund houses all the operating costs along with debt service and financing obligations. The capital
fund shows costs associated with capital acquisition and construction. Both the operating fund and
the capital fund have a working capital balance. This method will isolate those funds available for
capital and cash flow needs for daily operations. Project managers will know exactly how much
working capital is available for current and planned projects.
Additionally, there is a new presentation for each fund showing budget, actual and variance.
The next budget amendment will move the working capital from the operating funds to the capital
funds along with all the other beginning fund balance adjustments.
At the end of the first quarter, the Water Utility had operating income of $738,000. Water sales in
Q1-2016 totaled 709,000 hundred cubic feet (ccf), compared to 669,000 ccf during the same period
in 2015, representing a 6% increase. . This revenue trails YTD because it is skewed due to timing of
demand. August through October are the high revenue months.
The Sewer Utility ended the quarter with operating income of $638,000 and is at 26.6% of the annual
budget. The Sewer-Metro Utility ended the quarter with net operating loss of $40,000. We expect
to see a loss in the first quarter. The payment to Metro is based on a rolling 4 quarter average which
is comprised of summer use and activity. The revenues in the first quarter of the year are comprised
of winter use and activity.
The Stormwater Utility ended Q1-2016 with $713,000 in operating income.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q1-2016
The Cemetery Fund ended the first quarter with operating income of $155,000 as compared with
$123,000 for the same period in 2015. Operating revenues totaled $418,000, compared to $358,000 in
2015, representing an increase of 16.8%. Significant revenue increases from 2015 were seen in
Openings and Closings ($10,000, or 18%), Lot Sales ($11,000, or 6%), and Markers ($27,000, or 47%).
Operating expenditures totaled 264,000 in Q1-2016, compared to 235,673 in the same period last
year. Salary and benefit costs increased by 13.8%, partly due to increased costs associated with
healthcare and pension expenses, as well as a new Office Assistant position authorized by Budget
Amendment #4.
Internal Service Funds
Operating expenditures within the Insurance Fund represent the premium cost pool that will be
allocated monthly to other City funds over the course of 2016. As a result, this balance will gradually
diminish each month throughout the year.
No significant variances are reported in the Worker’s Compensation, Facilities, Innovation &
Technology, or Equipment Rental Funds. The apparent operating loss in Innovation & Technology
stems in part from an upfront purchase of software upgrades, and from expenditures later recoded
to the Innovation & Technology Capital Projects fund. This is anticipated to balance later in the year.

AGENDA BILL APPROVAL FORM
Agenda Subject:
Payback Agreements Overview and Review of the Pending
Ordinance No. 6602 Bert Warm Sewer Payback Agreement (10
Minute Presentation/10 Minute Q&A)
Date:
May 23, 2016
Department:
CD & PW
Attachments:
Draft Ordinance No. 6602 and Draft Payback
Agreement 2016-01
Vicinity Map
Budget Impact:
$0
Administrative Recommendation:
For discussion only.
Background Summary:
State law and City code allow a developer to enter into an agreement with the City to
seek reimbursement from the other benefited properties when and if those property
owners connect to a public facility constructed by the developer. The agreement can
apply to public water, sewer, storm, and street improvements. In the City of Auburn,
that agreement is called a “Payback Agreement.”
The most recent payback agreement approved by the City Council was in October,
2013. Since that time, the state law governing such arrangements, RCW 35.72.020
(streets) and RCW 35.91.020 (utilities), have been revised. In order to comply with
those changes and to consolidate street and utility payback requirements into one
code section, the City revised its code in 2014 so that the requirements for all
paybacks may now be found in Auburn City Code 3.25.
Staff will present an overview of the process by which payback agreements are
developed and executed, and present Ordinance 6602 - Bert Warm Sewer Payback
Agreement No. 2016-01 for the Councilmembers’ review prior to the June 20 City
Council meeting, where a public hearing will be held and the City Council will consider
the Ordinance for adoption.

May 23, 2016
Page 3 of 8
described in Section III, and which owner has not fully contributed their pro rata
share to the original cost of the above-described facility, shall pay to the CITY the
amounts identified in Section V. The charge herein represents the fair pro rata
share of the cost of construction of said facilities payable by the owners of the

After the expiration of the 20-year term, any moneys collected by the CITY for
connection of the benefited properties to the facilities will not be reimbursed to

The CITY’s obligation to reimburse the DEVELOPER under this section shall not
apply to any real property purchased from DEVELOPER after construction of the

VI. NOTICE AND REVIEW
Prior to authorizing this agreement, the CITY, shall have mailed to the property

Page 4 of 8
If the City Engineer, upon requested review by a notified property owner(s), does
find cause for adjustment in the allocation of the charge to the benefited
property(s), such adjustment will be made and the DEVELOPER will be notified
of the adjusted amount(s) prior to acceptance of this Agreement by the City. The
resulting adjusted Exhibit 6 shall govern reimbursement amounts to be received
by the DEVELOPER. If the adjustment results in an increase to the charge for
other parcels, the notification process in this agreement shall be repeated.
VII. EFFECT OF AGREEMENT
The provisions of this Agreement shall not be effective as to any owner of real
estate not a party hereto unless this Agreement has been recorded in the office of
the County Auditor of the County in which the real estate is located prior to the
time such owner receives a permit to tap into or connect to said facilities.
If for any reason, the CITY fails to secure a latecomer payment for Owner's fair
pro rata share of the cost of the facilities, before connection to the extension, the
CITY is not liable for payment to the DEVELOPER.
The entire responsibility for recordation and completion of this Agreement is
upon the DEVELOPER, who agrees to do all and to hold the CITY harmless.
This agreement is subject to the provisions of Auburn City Code (“ACC”)
Chapter 3.25 and shall be void if the DEVELOPER is in violation of any term or
condition of that Chapter as it exists on the date of execution of this agreement.
VIII. OWNERSHIP OF FACILITY
The DEVELOPER warrants that it has constructed the facilities described in
Section II of this Agreement to the CITY’s specifications and in conformance
with the CITY’s development regulations and comprehensive plan, and that the

Once the CITY has accepted the facilities, they shall become a part of the
municipal system of the CITY. The DEVELOPER warrants that the facilities are
free and clear of all encumbrances and there are no persons or entities that have a
right to a lien against the facilities. Except for work covered under any warrantee
described in the FAC agreement, all maintenance and operation costs of said
facility shall be borne by the CITY. In consideration of the benefits derived from
CITY utility service, DEVELOPER agrees to execute and deliver to the CITY

Background Summary:
The purpose of this discussion is to inform the Council and Public of the overall status
of the City’s Capital Project program managed by the Community Development &
Public Works (CDPW) Department and to present this quarter’s feature capital project:
Auburn Way South Corridor Safety Improvements (Muckleshoot Plaza to Dogwood St
SE).
The Capital Projects Group of CDPW is currently managing 43 active projects with a
total cost of $82 million. Of these projects, 28 are in the design phase and 15 are
under construction. Within the next 3 months, 11 projects are expected to be
advertised for bids and the construction of 9 projects are anticipated to be completed.
The total value of projects completed by years is as follows:
2012 = $23.7 million
2013 = $29.9 million
2014 = $29.6 million
2015 = $35 million
2016 = $38 million (anticipated)
The feature capital project for the second quarter of 2016 is the Auburn Way South
Corridor Safety Improvements (Muckleshoot Plaza to Dogwood Street SE). This
project will be featured in the Summer edition of the Auburn Magazine and on the
City’s capital project website.
The purpose of this project is to improve vehicle and pedestrian safety and ease
congestion along this section of Auburn Way South. To accomplish this, Auburn Way
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.G Page 143 of 144
South will be widened to accommodate raised landscaped medians, a second
eastbound left turn into the Muckleshoot Casino’s main entrance at Riverwalk Drive,
bus pull-out areas, 10 foot wide sidewalks, improved pedestrian and street lighting
(particularly at the Dogwood intersection), and upgrades to the existing traffic signals.
Access management strategies will be implemented which include consolidating,
eliminating, and/or restricting direction of travel in and out of non-signalized driveways,
constructing raised medians, c-curbing, and providing u-turns at the Dogwood and
MIT Plaza signals.
This project also includes improvements to the existing storm drainage system to
accommodate the wider roadway, replacing an aging water main that is beyond its
useful life, and incorporating streetscape techniques to improve the aesthetics of the
corridor which include planting the raised medians and installing street trees.
The project team will provide a general project overview and update, including status
of environmental permitting, right-of-way acquisition, and schedule.
