EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A Work in Progress
This report is to document the progress of the Arterial and Local Street Pavement Preservation
Programs for the City, including reporting on the updated pavement condition ratings that were
collected in the Summer of 2017, provide a current overview of the programs, and provide
recommendations on program needs and challenges. City owned paved alleyways and gravel
roads are maintained by the Maintenance & Operations Division and are not included in this
report.
Streets are classified based on the type of traffic they are intended to support. Major streets that
are intended to support a large amount of traffic traveling to neighboring jurisdictions, to state
highways and across the City of Auburn (City) are typically classified as arterial streets. Streets
that are intended to support a moderate amount of traffic and connect neighborhoods and
industrial/commercial areas to arterial streets or to other neighborhoods and
industrial/commercial areas are generally classified as collector streets. Streets that are intended
to support a low volume of traffic and connect local residences and businesses to an arterial or
collector street are generally classified as local streets.
The City manages the pavement infrastructure through two separate programs, the Arterial
Streets Preservation Program and Local Streets Preservation Program. The Arterial Street
Preservation Program is currently funded at approximately $1.6 to $1.8 million annually, and
covers the Arterial and Collector roadways in the City. These major streets consist of
approximately 69 centerline miles (201 lane miles) of Arterials and 34 centerline miles (71 lane
miles) of Collectors roadways. The Local Street Preservation Program is funded at
approximately $1.5 to $2.3 million annually, and is responsible for the non-arterial roadways,
consisting of approximately 146 centerline miles (292 lane miles) of residential and non-
residential local streets.
The goal for the preservation programs is to maintain the entire street network at a Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) Score of 70 or greater on a 1-100 basis with 100 being new pavement. An
average score of 70 was chosen because it provides for the most cost effective balance for the
long term preservation of the roadway system where the majority of streets are at or above 70.
The PCI of a street is an estimated measure of the amount of visible cracking, rutting and
roughness of a particular segment of roadway. Every street in the network is rated periodically,
and those scores are used to indicate when a particular street is in need of some sort of
preservation, rehabilitation, or reconstruction. Please see Appendix A for more detail. The
City’s street system was rated in the Summer of 2017, and the results showed an overall increase
in the pavement condition versus the 2013 pavement rating survey. An increase in pavement
condition rating was expected as a result of all the investments made into the street system
network since 2013. The City worked on several miles of streets in our network with City and
grant funds used to complete much needed work.
The pavement rating data is the best metric to approximate the overall street system health, and
helps inform decisions on when and where to invest to keep the City’s streets in good condition.
The other metrics used in rating the City’s pavements are rutting, and roughness. These are used
Page 5 of 81

to help prioritize and differentiate between candidate streets during a selection process (please
see Appendix A for more detail).
Keeping Auburn Moving
It is anticipated that further improvements to the street network will be realized after a number of
grant funded paving projects are completed over the next several years through the year 2020.
The City has been successful in securing federal grants to help the Arterial Street Preservation
program improve the condition of many of the City’s major Arterials and this additional funding
represents a major investment in the City’s Federally classified roadway infrastructure. The City
has also completed the reconstruction of past problematic streets in the City’s street system,
specifically B Street NW between 37th St NW and S 277th St; West Main Street between West
Valley Highway and the Interurban Trail; and S 277th Street between Auburn Way N and L St
NE. These streets were all previously in failing conditions and the City pooled funding and
secured federal grants to address these major roads. Additionally, 2017 saw two other major
grant funded paving projects be completed: Auburn Way North Preservation Project Phase I, and
Lake Tapps Parkway Preservation Project; as well as the City Funded 2017 Local Street
Reconstruction and Preservation Project.
The State of our Streets
Arterial and Collector Street Preservation Program
The State of the Arterial and Collector Streets has improved with the investment in the
infrastructure from these programs. In the next few years, many of the largest and most used
corridors will be preserved, and the City will continue to see overall system improvement (see
Table 1 below for recent pavement condition rating scores). The grant funding that has been
secured through 2020 will help the City leverage existing funding and complete additional work
that could not have otherwise been done. However in the long term, if budget levels continue at
the current level of funding (approximately $1.6-1.8M/ year not including grant funding) the
Pavement Management Database models predict that the City will lose ground as more of the
Arterial and Collector streets that are in poor condition slide into the failure category and other
streets that are currently in good condition degrade into fair condition. There are several major
projects that will need to be completed within the next ten years for the City to maintain the
condition of the network at its current average. Failing Arterial and Collector streets are
extremely expensive to replace and will require several years’ worth of budget, at the current
funding levels, to complete the reconstruction of a single project street. While many of the other
major streets degrade into fair condition and will be in need of preservation.
Local Street Preservation Program
The State of Our Local Streets is improving steadily and shows that the City has adequately
funded this portion of the preservation program. The Local Street Preservation Program
provides for rebuilding as many streets with the available funding, and uses any remaining funds
to preserve, by overlay, other streets in the Local Street Network. The backlog of local streets
that need to be reconstructed is decreasing. If funding continues at its current level, the Local
Street Preservation Program will have completed reconstruction of all streets that are currently
rated as failing over the next 10 to 13 years, however a number of streets that are rated in poor
condition that are not being worked on will begin to fail within that time frame and will need to
be reconstructed as well.

Next steps?
In the next three to four years, the Street Preservation Programs will continue to deliver quality
projects, and improve the street system health. In the next five to ten years, the road map to
success will include pursuing additional funding for the Arterial and Collector Preservation
Program which may include:
· Continuing to compete for grant funding as available;
· Consider options for additional funding as needed; and
· Revising the City’s pavement management goals.
The Pavement Management Database model predicts that the Arterial and Collector street system
will need to be funded at approximately $3.5M to $3.9M annually to simply maintain the
existing condition of the street network. The condition of the Arterial roads has improved
slightly since 2013 due to the additional funding obtained through grants from 2013 to 2017.
The models indicate that the condition of the street system will degrade faster than we can
preserve it after the current secured grant funds have been expended.
Currently, the Local Street Preservation is funded appropriately to improve the street network
condition steadily. The Local Street Preservation fund will continue to rebuild as many streets
that are identified as failing as funding allows and use any additional funds to do thin overlay
treatments on streets that are in fair condition. The program has achieved an average rating that
exceeds the program goal of 70 PCI and is currently at 77 PCI. Therefore the program will be
transitioning to continue to maintain the network at or above the average of 70 PCI.

PROJECT SPOT LIGHT AND ROADWAY PRESERVATION PROGRAM S
The City had several major paving projects in construction in 2016 and 2017, which were funded
by the Local Street Preservation fund, Arterial Street Preservation fund, and other sources of City
funds, as well as federal grant funds. are shown on Map 1 – 2017 Roadway Construction
Projects Map.
2017 Project Roster
2017 was an incredibly busy year for roadway work in the City as we were able to address
several of the worst streets. Overall, 9.48 lane-miles of pavement were reconstructed and 15.36
lane-miles of pavement were overlayed in 2017. This was a highly successful year of executing
long standing plans for repairing and restoring the City of Auburn Streets. The major projects
that were completed during 2017:
· West Main Street Multi-Modal Corridor and ITS Improvements Project
This project was a multiyear project that rebuilt and repurposed the existing four lane
section of W Main St between W Valley Highway and the Interurban Trail. The project
rebuilt 1.38 lane miles of pavement. The four lane roadway was narrowed down to
accommodate two through lanes, a two-way turn lane, and bike lanes in each direction.
The project also provided Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) improvements along
W. Main Street., West Valley Hwy, 15th Street SW, and C Street SW. This work was
funded by Arterial Streets funds, federal grant funding, and Arterial Preservation funds.
Construction of this project started in 2016, and was completed in the summer of 2017.
· S 277th Street Corridor Capacity & Non-motorized Trail Improvement Project
This project was a multiyear project and completed the widening and reconstruction of
2.92 lane miles of S 277th Street from the intersection of Auburn Way North to L Street
NE, including the construction of a pedestrian trail, relocation of the floodway along S
277th Street, as well as installing a fish passage structure. This work was funded by
Arterial Street funds, developer contributed funds, federal and Transportation
Improvement Board grant funds, and Arterial Preservation funds.
· B Street NW Reconstruction Project
The B Street NW Reconstruction Project rebuilt 1.64 lane miles of B Street NW between
37th Street NW and 49th Street NW vicinity, replaced sanitary sewer main along 49th
Street SW and installed new sewer main along B Street NW. This Project also repaired
damaged sidewalk, curb and gutter, upgraded several driveways to be compliant with
ADA requirements, replaced curb ramps to be compliant with ADA requirements, and
addressed drainage issues along the corridor. This work was funded by Arterial
Preservation funds.
· Lake Tapps Parkway Preservation Project
The purpose of this project was to rehabilitate and preserve the existing pavement on
Lake Tapps Parkway between the Western City Limit near 8th Street E and Lakeland
Page 8 of 81
6
Hills Way. The project completed a grind and overlay of 7.11 lane miles of pavement,
upgraded eight curb ramps to meet current ADA standards, and upgraded vehicle
detection loops. This work was funded by Arterial Preservation funds and federal grant
funds.
· Auburn Way N Preservation Project, Phase 1
The Auburn Way North Preservation Project (22nd Street NE to 45th Street NE) included
grinding and overlaying 7.25 lane miles of asphalt pavement, replacement of curb/gutter
and concrete flatwork, upgraded 26 curb ramps to meet current ADA standards,
construction of storm drain pipe and structures, removal and replacement fire hydrant
assemblies, installation of a new traffic signal at 37th Street NE, modifications to existing
traffic and pedestrian signals, channelization, installation of induction loops, traffic
control, right-of-way restoration, and signage. This work was funded by Arterial
Preservation funds and federal grant funds.
· M Street SE Utility Improvement Project
The M Street SE Improvements (3rd St SE to East Main St) project constructed roadway
and utility improvements on M Street SE from 3rd Street SE to East Main Street. Project
improvements included 0.62 lane miles of new asphalt concrete pavement, cement
concrete sidewalks and curb and gutter, installation of new storm drainage and sanitary
sewer pipes, new water services, and ITS improvements. This work was funded by
Arterial Preservation funds, Water Utility funds, Sewer Utility funds, and Storm Utility
funds.
· 2017 Local Street Reconstruction and Preservation Project
The 2017 Local Street Reconstruction and Preservation Project included constructing
street, storm drainage, and water main improvements – including excavation of existing
roadway pavement and subgrade; 1.38 lane miles of reconstructed asphalt roadway
pavement and subgrade; 1.00 lane miles of street overlay; curb and gutter reconstruction;
driveway reconstruction; partial sidewalk reconstruction; replaced 16 curb ramps;
installed new storm drainage collection, conveyance, treatment and infiltration systems;
water main and residential service replacement; and other appurtenances. This work was
funded by Local Street Preservation funds, Water Utility funds, and Storm Utility funds.

2016 Project Roster
The City had two major paving projects in 2016, and several others that involved significant
pavement restoration, as shown on Map 2 – 2016 Roadway Construction Projects Map:
· Auburn Way South Flooding Improvements, Phase 2 Project
The purpose of this project was to relieve stormwater flooding issues on Auburn Way
South near the State Route 18 underpass by diverting stormwater flows from the flooding
area to the existing storm drainage ponds located at 21st Street SE (near D Street SE) and
17th Street SE (west of A St SE). This project constructed a new storm line on 17th
Street SE between A Street SE and K Street SE to divert stormwater to the pond on 17th
Street SE. This project also replaced the deteriorate water main and sewer line on 17th
Street SE between A Street SE and K Street SE, rebuilt the north half of the roadway and
grind and overlayed the entire roadway which preserved 1.22 lane miles of roadway,
replaced a total of 23 curb ramps, and expanded the existing storm pond on 17th Street
SE to accommodate the increase in storm drainage flows. This work was funded by the
Water, Sewer and Storm Utility funds.
· 2016 Local Street Pavement Reconstruction Project
This project reconstructed 1.18 lane miles of Local Streets including; 21st Street NE
between I Street NE and Auburn Way N; F Street SE between East Main St and 4th Street
SE; and 25th Street SE between M Street SE and R Street SE; as well as thin overlayed
1.40 lane miles of streets in the Westhill area. The Project also installed 2,741 lineal feet
of 12-inch and 8-inch water mains, 2,589 lineal feet of 12-inch stormwater drainage
main, new water services for 70 residents along the project streets, and replaced a total of
41 curb ramps at the project sites so they are compliant with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. This work was funded by the Local Street
Preservation Program and Water Utility funds.
· 30th Street NE Storm Improvement Project, Phase 1A
This project replaced a 30-inch storm drainage line with a 42-inch line between the North
west corner of the Auburn Airport and Auburn Way N. This project rebuild the trench
limit, patched pavement and overlayed the full width of 30th Street NE – preserving 1.38
lane miles of roadway, and replaced a total of 6 curb ramps. This work was funded by
the Storm Drainage Repair Program and Arterial Preservation Program funds.
The City had several projects in 2016 delayed for various reasons as indicated below. Also, the
order in which the federally funded grant projects will be delivered was updated to reflect the
regional funding availability through the Puget Sound Regional Council. The Auburn Way
North Preservation project, Phase 1 was moved from 2016 to 2017 because the initial bids in
2016 came in higher than the available budget. B Street NW was delayed in 2016 due to the
need for additional funding to complete the project. To address this, the project was re-designed
to use an innovative method of construction to rebuild the roadway at a much cheaper cost than
estimated in 2016.

PRESERVATION PROGRAMS OVERVIEW
Arterial Street Preservation Program
The Arterial and Collector Preservation program is responsible for maintaining the overall
condition of approximately 103 centerline miles (272 lane miles) of roadway that are vital to the
City. These roads carry the vast majority of citizens, goods and services to and from the
Regional Growth Center and connect the community to the greater Puget Sound Region. The
Arterial Street Preservation Program has focused almost exclusively on preservation treatments
given the lack of funding to complete much needed major reconstruction projects. However,
favorable bids on several past projects, and the successful acquisition of federal grant funds
generated sufficient capacity in the existing budget to program the reconstruction of B Street NW
between 37th Street NW and 300 feet north of 49th Street NW, which was the worst arterial street
segment in the network. Additionally other grant funds were secured for two other major
reconstruction projects in the City that were constructed in 2017: The S 277th Street Corridor
Capacity & Non-motorized Trail Improvements Project; and the West Main Street Multi-Modal
Corridor and ITS Improvements Project. The Arterial and Collector Street Pavement Condition
Indexes as of 2017 are shown on Map 3 – Arterial & Collector Pavement Conditions Map.
The goal of the Arterial Preservation program is to improve the Arterial and Collector network to
an average PCI of 70 (out of 100 scale rating). The current condition of the Arterial and
Collector roadway network is in fair condition (PCI Rating of 61). Over the next several years,
the City has secured federal grant funding for several projects, which will help leverage existing
city funds to better improve the health of the arterial street system.
Arterial Street Preservation funding
The Arterial Street Preservation Program is funded by a 1% utility tax, which has supported
annual budgets of approximately $1.8 Million since 2008. Figure 1 below shows the Arterial
funding since the inception of the preservation program.
Page 11 of 81

Figure 1: Arterial Street Funding through the years
The City has successfully obtained federal grant funding for seven major preservation projects
leveraging City funds for preserving our arterial system through 2020. The seven grant funded
projects include the Auburn Way North Preservation phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3 projects; A
Street SE Preservation Project; 15th Street NW/NE Preservation Project; South 277th Street
Preservation Project; and Lake Tapps Parkway Preservation Project. Federal grant funds are
subject to competitive selection and cannot be relied upon as a stable source of funding beyond
the currently funded projects. Also, there are a limited number of streets that are federally
classified, and thus eligible for grant funding - limiting our potential for more grants in the
future. The grant administrators in the region continue to discuss if preservation projects are the
best use of their funds and are considering reprogramming the money to roadway capacity
projects. The amount of City funding in the Arterial Preservation Program has remained
relatively unchanged, and at its current level is insufficient to complete the reconstruction work
needed to, not only reach the average system PCI goal of 70, but also maintain the current PCI
rating of 61.

Planned Arterial Street Preservation Projects
The grant funded street reconstruction and preservation projects that start in 2018 and are
expected to be completed through 2020, are detailed below in Table 2 – Future Grant Funded
Street Projects, and City Funded projects are shown in Table 3 – City Funded Arterial Street
Projects below. All of the future Arterial Preservation project streets are shown on Map 4 –
Planned Preservation Projects
Staff will be conducting street selection processes for the Arterial Street Preservation Program to
identify additional streets that need to be addressed and to prepare a long range plan to meet
those needs in budget years 2019 and 2020. Those streets will be prioritized and packaged each
year. Additionally staff will be applying for additional federal grants in 2018 for potentially
funding a project in 2021.

If City funding levels remain at the current level of $1.6 to $1.8 million per year, the condition of
the arterial and collector street system will begin to lose ground faster than can be preserved,
once the available grant funding has been expended in 2020.
Another concern, is that as the City continues to improve the streets that can be preserved by
conventional methods (i.e. grind and overlay), there are more and more Arterial and Collector
streets that are in various states of disrepair and will need to be reconstructed in the next several
years. Many of the Arterial and Collector streets do not have adequate pavement structure to
withstand the current level of traffic loading that uses them, so preserving these roads by overlay
treatments only may not result in good long term performance. The lack of adequate pavement
structure for these major roads likely contributes to an accelerated decline in pavement condition.
The cost of rebuilding one of these roadways would require combining several years of funding
in the Arterial and Collector Program at the current funding levels. Additional funding will need
to be identified and prioritization of reconstruction of these major roadways will be needed to
address the larger issues within the Arterial and Collector street network.
Future pavement ratings and additional testing measures will become necessary in the next
couple of years as well. System wide, the pavement rating survey results are one of the most
useful tools to track the general condition of the street system as a whole, however a need for
more advanced testing will be needed to evaluate the arterial and collector streets for their
structural integrity.
Local Street Preservation Program
The Local Street Preservation Program is responsible for maintaining the pavement on
approximately 146 centerline miles (292 lane miles) of roadways throughout the City. Each year
that number grows with the construction of development driven projects. In the beginning years
of the Local Street Preservation Program, formerly the “Save Our Streets Program”, the program
focused on preserving streets that were in fair to poor condition. In 2009, after making
significant progress on these roads, the City refocused the program to rebuilding streets that were
in very poor to failing condition.
The goal of the Local Street Preservation Program is to improve the Local Street system to an
average PCI rating of 70 (out of 100 scale rating). As of 2017, the Local Street Preservation
Program achieved its goal with an average PCI of 77. In reaching and exceeding this goal, the
focus for this program continues to rebuild the local roadways that are in very poor to failed
condition (PCI 0 to 25) as funding allows, and to maintain the average PCI level of 70 on the rest
of the local street network. The Local street Pavement Condition Index scores are shown
graphically on Map 5 – Local Street Pavement Conditions Map. The Pavement Management
Database models indicate that $2.4M in needed annually to maintain the system at the goal of an
average PCI of 70 or better. Local Street Improvements that are scheduled for 2018 and 2019
are also shown on Map 4 – Planned Preservation Projects.
Local Street Preservation Funding
In 2004 the public expressed concern over the condition of local streets, however funding for
local streets had dropped dramatically in the preceding years and the City could not afford to
Page 14 of 81
12
make the needed improvements (see Figure 2 below). In response to the situation, the City
proposed a funding measure which was approved by Auburn citizens in the November 2004
General Election. The original funding measure allowed the City’s property tax levy to generate
additional revenue for a dedicated local street fund which was used solely to fund a local street
preservation and improvement program, formerly called the Save Our Streets (SOS) Program.
At the end of 2012, the practice of funding the SOS Program from property taxes ended. In
2013, the City Council earmarked sales taxes from new construction to be dedicated to the Local
Street Preservation Program, and all property taxes were retained in the General Fund.
In 2005, the City had approximately 59 miles of local streets that were in need of repair (this
mileage included streets that were later annexed into the City in 2008). Since 2005, the Program
has improved the condition of 52 miles of those City streets, however as time passes other streets
in the network age and their condition continues to deteriorate. In the next few years, additional
streets will need to be maintained and/or rebuilt to keep the street system healthy.
Planned Local Street Preservation Projects
Projects in design or construction using Local Street Preservation Program funds are included
below in Table 4.

Moving Forward
The list of Local Streets that need to be reconstructed is shrinking and will be prioritized to align
with the City’s limited funding for associated public utility improvements. A lot of progress has
been made on street reconstructions over the past several years under the Local Street
preservation program. The program will transition its focus to a more balanced approach of
rebuilding one or two local streets annually and preserving more segments of streets than in prior
years. This more balanced approach between street reconstruction and street preservation
overlays will continue to maintain and potentially continue to improve the condition of the Local
Street network overall.

PAVEMENT INVENTORY & RATING
Pavement condition surveys that are conducted by the consulting service providers every few
years use a semi-autonomous process where technicians drive over each road in the street system
to rate the condition. The vehicle is equipped with high grade Global Positioning System (GPS)
equipment as well as a laser measuring device to measure the depth of rutting present in each
lane and to measure the roughness of the ride. All of this is done as one of the technicians
visually rates each segment of pavement based on the amount of surface distress that is present,
the amount of damage and distress is called the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), while the GPS
is used to tie all of the data collected in the field to the street network maps of the City of
Auburn’s Geographic Information System (GIS). The PCI ratings, rut depths, and roughness of
ride are all measures that help to determine when a stretch of pavement is due for rehabilitation
or replacement. The three metrics are used to rate a pavement segment as very good, good, fair,
poor, or very poor. A good condition pavement is smooth with few defects while a poor
condition pavement is characterized by cracking, patching, rutting and roughness. Pavement
segments are prioritized for rehabilitation based on the condition survey, along with input from
several of the City’s departments to determine which streets are packaged into a particular street
project.
A caveat to street ratings is that
there are always several streets that
do not receive any pavement
treatments between when
pavement ratings are completed,
and these streets show an increase
in PCI scoring despite not having
work done on them. There are
always variations between ratings
that can result in a several PCI
point increase from one rating to
the next. Different pavement
rating technicians will look at a
segment of pavement and have
differing opinions about the
condition of the roadway. Also something as simple as an overcast day may affect the way a
pavement is rated visually, because the flat light makes it difficult to see hairline cracking, and
other distresses.
The pavement rating process has been automated to record a lot of the distresses that factor into a
pavement score, however there are several distresses that are continue to be rated visually by a
technician. That makes the process somewhat subjective and dependent upon a person’s
judgment. Ratings can be skewed by something as simple as rating pavements during an overcast
day while the low light level makes it much more difficult to distinguish pavement distresses
(such as hairline cracking) that would normally be seen in full daylight. Additionally, there will
always be variation in what different pavement rating technicians see and how they quantify
severity of different pavement distresses. Additionally the way pavement rating services rate
Page 23 of 81
APPENDIX A

chip seal streets has changed. They modified their protocol for the way they performed their
survey to be more consistent with industry standards and practice. The pavement rating service
no longer factors in pavement “raveling” as a distress in chip seal pavements. The existing chip
seal pavements were rated more harshly than they should have been in 2013, and showed a large
increase in PCI rating (approximately 15 PCI points) in 2017 as a result of that different rating
methodology.
The City of Auburn, like most cities, utilizes a Pavement Management Database to track
pavement condition, manage the street system, and model overall system performance. In the
case of the Arterial and Collector Street conditions, we are aware that many of our aging Arterial
and Collector Streets, while constructed to the standards at the time, are inadequate for the
amount of vehicle loading that they carry today. Having more accurate information allows us to
make better projections of future conditions and budget needs for long range planning.
HOW WILL THE CITY IMPROVE IN THE FUTURE?
Additional testing methods to test the strength of the pavements in the network will be used to
determine the structure of the pavements in the street system. These tests may include:
· Falling Weight Deflectometer testing to test pavement strength and subsoil bearing
capacity.
· Ground Penetrating Radar to determine network pavement thicknesses on a mass scale.
The City has learned expensive lessons on recent projects where the project was intended
to grind and overlay a section of roadway only to discover that the pavement was
extremely thin, and needed to be completely rebuilt instead. This could have been
planned for if we had known the pavement structure in advance of the project.
· Core sample testing for streets to determine if the pavement structure is adequate for the
existing pavement loading. Core samples are collected with a special drill that allows a
cylindrical sample of the pavement to be extracted from the roadway. This is especially
useful because we will be able to excavate to see what the underlying pavement
foundation consists of.
Additionally, the use of a pavement rating service provider that employs a fully automated
pavement rating process would be beneficial to have all of the load related pavement distresses
rated objectively, and would provide City staff with a data set that can be relied upon. Using a
more objective pavement rating method would create more assurance in the data set, and be a
more reliable starting point in the street selection process. The City needs to be able to focus
energy on the correct projects at the correct times to maximize the use and benefit of available
funding.
WHAT DO THE NUMBERS MEAN?
Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
The City measures pavement condition using the PCI for each street in the network. PCI values
represent pavement condition based on a scale from 0 to 100 with 100 being newly constructed
pavement and 0 indicating a pavement that has failed. The City’s goal for the Arterial Street
Page 24 of 81
APPENDIX A
3
Preservation Program and Local Street Preservation Program is to reach and maintain a PCI at or
above 70.
PCI values generally indicate surface condition and are useful in indicating the best time to
repair the pavement. The most cost effective time to preserve pavements is when the PCI ratings
are in the 60-70 range, because the pavement repair typically requires relatively less expensive
treatments that preserve the existing pavement and extend the useful life of the pavement.
Additionally, pavement condition tends to diminish at an accelerated rate after they have reached
a PCI range of 50-60. Pavements with moderate to low PCI values usually require more
expensive rehabilitative treatments. Pavements with very low PCI values are often unsalvageable
and have to undergo a very expensive rebuild.
International Roughness Index (IRI)
The International Roughness Index (IRI) was developed by the World Bank in the 1980s. IRI is
used to define the characteristic ride of a traveled wheel path and constitutes a standardized
roughness measurement. The commonly used units are inches per mile (in/mi) or meters per
kilometer (m/km). The IRI is based on a standardized vehicle’s accumulated suspension motion
(in inches, mm, etc.) divided by the distance traveled by the vehicle during the measurement
(in/mi, m/km, etc.).
Roughness is an important pavement characteristic because it affects not only ride quality but
also vehicle delay costs, fuel consumption and maintenance costs; also, the general public
perception of a good road is one that provides a smooth ride. The citywide map showing the ride
quality rating that was collected in 2017 for all of the streets in the City is shown on Map 6 –
Citywide Ride Quality Rating. In the pavement rating surveys that were completed in 2013
and 2017, IRI data was collected and recorded on a zero to one hundred scale. Several State
agencies actually use IRI as a parameter for street selection for improvement projects. The City
of Auburn has not established an official policy on the use of IRI data for managing the street
system; however, the roughness of a roadway segment can be a tie breaker between similarly
rated streets (PCI rating) to be included in a project. Ride quality is a frequent comment that we
receive from our citizens, so having this data helps to be able to track and anticipate issues that
may arise in the future. Additionally, in the future after we have conducted more pavement
rating surveys and have a chance to analyze the trends in pavement roughness, then IRI may
become a factored metric in the street selection process for the City. Table 5 below shows how
the numerical ratings correspond with the rider experience.
Table 5 - IRI Ratings
Rating Rank Description
80 – 100 Excellent Very smooth
60 – 80 Good Smooth with a few bumps or depressions
40 – 60 Fair Comfortable with intermittent bumps or depressions
20 – 40 Poor Uncomfortable with frequent bumps or depressions
0 – 20 Very Poor Uncomfortable with constant bumps or depression
Pavement Rut Depth Measurement
The City’s pavement rating service provider measured pavement Rut Depth with an automated
laser rut measuring device. The rut depth is measured for each street in the network, and then
Page 25 of 81
APPENDIX A
4
averaged over the length of each street segment. Pavement rutting can create safety issues if the
depth of the rut is deep enough to interrupt the flow of water across the cross slope of the road.
These issues directly affect a vehicles ability to handle and stop in normal traffic situations. The
Washington State Department of Transportation considers a rut depth of greater than 0.5-inch to
be a maximum threshold before it triggers a pavement maintenance operation to be performed.
The maximum threshold value makes sense for WSDOT since the highway system has a much
greater average speed limit and standard cross slope for a highway is 2%. The City of Auburn
Arterial roads typically have a range of speeds between 30 mph and 45 mph, with a Standard
design cross slope of 3%. A 3% cross slope and the lower speeds of City streets results in much
lower risk of hydroplaning, however standing water negatively affects a vehicle’s ability to stop.
Although the City does not have a policy on the use of rut depth as a trigger to preserve
roadways, the data is useful to monitor and track the condition of roads. If an otherwise intact
piece of pavement is showing extreme rutting, then that is an indication that either the pavement
subgrade is failing or the roadway is extremely overloaded by heavy vehicles. These instances
would be clear indications that something needs to be done to correct these rutting issues, and
could serve as proper justification for including a particular street in a project.
AUBURN’S STREET SELECTION PROCESS
The City contracts with service providers to rate Auburn’s street system periodically and rates
each street segment as discussed in the previous section. Since the repair costs for the overall
system far exceeds what the City can fund in any given year, the City then prioritizes, narrows
and selects a limited number of streets for each of the annual street preservation programs.
There are many factors the City considers when determining which streets to rebuild and or
rehabilitate each year. Staff uses the Pavement Management Database to produce a list of street
segments that are in the PCI range for the type of project that is being programmed: a
reconstruction or preservation project. It is worth pointing out that the pavement ratings alone do
not determine which streets will be included in a particular project; they are simply a tool that
focuses staff on streets that are an issue. The engineering staff performs a site review of
perspective streets that may be shortlisted for inclusion into a project. With all of the moving
parts involved with the street selection process; between the street issues, utility priorities,
maintenance and operation requirements, traffic volumes, and budgets to balance; the priority of
a particular stretch of street being included in a project rises and falls with consideration of each
of these parameters. The underlying message is that the PCI of a street is not the only factor
used in street selection, but is one of a host of deliberations that occur to package a project
together. City staff confirm the ratings, compile site specific data, take pictures, etc. Next staff
will estimate the rough cost to do the work at each site. One of the most important factors the
City considers when choosing which streets to rebuild or improve is City owned Utility input. If
there is a need to improve a utility along with improving the street, then staff takes into account
the availability of Utility funds and balances the budgetary needs of both City programs. If the
City Utilities have a long range plan to improve their infrastructure in the street but lack
immediate funding, then that would be a suitable reason to delay working on a particular
roadway. Replacing the utility mains at the same time as street restoration is much more
economical and disturbs the neighboring residences only once. Additionally, it prevents newly
Page 26 of 81
APPENDIX A
5
reconstructed or treated roadway surfaces from being damaged by trenching to replace
underground utilities.
The City’s Maintenance and Operations Division are consulted during street selection processes,
because they have knowledge about problem streets where excessive resources are being spent
on temporary repairs. Streets that require more regular maintenance, streets with significant
drainage issues and streets will poor ride quality are all given a high level of priority.
Additionally the volume of vehicles per day, number of businesses and residents being served by
a street are also factors in street selection. Other deliberations include coordination with third
party utility companies and with private development projects when selecting streets to improve
each year. Finally, the cost of the improvements need to be right sized for the available
preservation budget, and will limit the amount of pavement work that can be accomplished in a
given year. Table 6 below shows the various pavement preservation treatments used for
different PCI ranges, and the typical life span and approximate cost of each treatment type.

Re: King County-Cities Climate Collaboration (K4C) -
K4C OVERVIEW:
The King County-Cities Climate Collaboration (K4C) was founded in 2012 as a voluntary but
formal partnership between cities and King County. The purpose of this initiative is for partners
to collaboarate on outreach, solutions, funding, and resources that are designed to reduce
carbon pollution and emissions.
Attached to this memo are the following items that help provide additional background
information, mission and purpose, and the template document that would formalize Auburn as a
K4C partner agency.
Attachment A: The K4C “Joint Letter of Commitment” which outlines the program and its
purpose, objectives, principles for collaboration, commitments, goals, and examples of how
goals and commitments are achieved.
Attachment B: A recent powerpoint presentation provided by K4C at their 2018 Elected
Officials Summit. The presentation provides additiona background information and some of
the current efforts that K4C is working on.
Attachment C: The K4C Interlocal Agreement that the City of Auburn would enter into if the
City has interest in participating in the initiative.
Specific examples of what Auburn’s involvement in K4C will look like are as follows:
• Participate in the development of messaging and tools for climate change outreach to
engage decision makers, other cities and the general public.
• Collaboarte on adopting consistent standards, benchmarks, strategies and overall goals
to respond to climate change.
• Share local success stories, challenges, data and products that support and enhance
climate mitigation efforts.
• Collaborate to secure grant funding and other shared resource opportunities to support
climate related projects and programs.
• Engaging with the Washington State Legislature and utility purveyors regarding clean
power.
As stated in the interlocal agreement, it is not the intent of the agreement to create, supplant,
preempt or supersede the authority or role of the City. The agreement also states that tools,
outreach materials, data, and collaborative efforts and resources developed as part of the
initiative are optional for the City to adopt or utilize.
As shown in Attachment C, in order for the City of Auburn to join K4C there is an annual
financial obligation of $2,000.00 per year and a requirement that the Mayor enter into an
interlocal agreement with King County.
Page 30 of 81
If the City of Auburn chooses to join the K4C initiative the City will have to appoint a designee
and an alternate to serve as representatives. The designee and alternate is assigned to City
staff who meet on a monthly basis along with elected official attendance at annual or semi-
annual summits/events.
DISCUSSION:
1. Does City Council have interest in joining the K4C initiative?
2. Prior to making a committmen, would City Council prefer to arrange for a presentation by
K4C at a future Study Session in order to learn more or ask more specific questions?

Climate change is a paramount challenge of this generation and has far-reaching and fundamental
consequences for our economy, environment, public health, and safety.
Across King County and its cities, we are already experiencing the impacts of climate change:
warming temperatures, acidifying marine waters, rising seas, decreasing mountain snowpack, and
less water in streams during the summer.
These changes have the potential for significant impacts to public and private property, resource based
economies like agriculture and forestry, and to residents’ health and quality of life.
The decisions we make locally and regionally, such as where our communities will grow and how they will
be served by transportation, will set the stage for success or failure in reducing carbon pollution, making
sound long-term investments, and ensuring our communities are livable and resilient to climate change
impacts.
Current science indicates that to avoid the worst impacts of global warming we need to reduce global
greenhouse gas emissions sharply. The King County Growth Management Planning Council – a formal
body of elected officials from across King County - voted unanimously on July 23, 2014 to adopt a
shared target to reduce countywide sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, compared to a 2007
baseline, by 25% by 2020, 50% by 2030, and 80% by 2050.
Based on our shared assessment of emissions in King County, and review of potential strategies to
reduce emissions, we believe that these targets are ambitious but achievable.
Building on the work of the King County-Cities Climate Collaboration (K4C) - a partnership between the
County and cities to coordinate and enhance local government climate and sustainability efforts – more
than a dozen cities and the County came together in the first half of 2014 to chart opportunities for joint
actions to reduce GHG emissions and accelerate progress towards a clean and sustainable future.
The attached Principles for Collaboration and Joint County-City Climate Commitments are
focused on practical, near-term, collaborative opportunities between cities and King County. These
shared commitments build on the significant work that many of our cities and County are already taking.
By signing this letter, we pledge our support for the shared vision that these principles and actions
represent. Our cities commit to actively pursue those strategies and catalytic actions where our
jurisdictions can make the most impact given our size, location, and development patterns.
Through focused, coordinated action, we will maximize the impact of our individual and shared efforts.

Climate change is the paramount challenge of our generation, and has fundamental and
far-reaching consequences for our economy, environment, and public health and safety.
Strong action to reduce GHG emissions is needed, and the time is now.
Local governments can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through many decisions
related to transportation and land use, energy and green building, forests and farms, and
consumption and materials management.
Many cities in King County have set individual climate goals and are taking steps to reduce
local GHG emissions, and we need to build on this leadership.
Local solutions need to be implemented in ways that build a cleaner, stronger and more
resilient regional economy.
Progress will require deeper engagement with communities of color and low income,
immigrant, and youth populations. These communities can be more vulnerable to the
impacts of climate change–from increasing flood risks to rising costs of fossil fuels – and
historically less likely to be included in community-scale solutions or as leaders. We are
committed to work in ways that are fair, equitable, empowering, and inclusive and that also
ensure that low income residents do not bear unfair costs of solutions.
Federal and state policies and laws can help us achieve our goals, but countywide and local
policy, programs and partnerships are needed to fill the existing gap to achieve local GHG
targets.
Progress will require deep partnerships between the County, cities, utilities, businesses,
nonprofit organizations, and other public sector agencies.
King County and nine cities have formed the King County-Cities Climate Collaboration
(K4C), and we will work to build on this initial pledge, both in increased action and increased
participation from additional cities.
We can accomplish more with a shared vision and coordinated action; collaboration will
increase the efficiency of our efforts and magnify the impact of our strategies beyond what
each of us could achieve on our own.
Our cities support the shared vision that the Joint County-City Climate Commitments
represent, but it is not the intention that each city will pursue every catalytic action. Cities
and King County will actively pursue strategies where they have the most impact and
influence.
We will reconvene at least annually to share progress. We also dedicate a staff point person
from our cities and from the County to help coordinate implementation of the following Joint
County-City Climate Commitments, and to serve as a point person to the K4C.

I. Shared Goals
Pathway: Adopt science-based countywide GHG reduction targets that help ensure the region is
doing its part to confront climate change.
Catalytic Policy Commitment: Collaborate through the Growth Management Planning Council,
Sound Cities Association, and other partners to adopt countywide GHG emissions reduction
targets, including mid-term milestones needed to support long-term reduction goals.
Catalytic Project or Program: Build on King County’s commitment to measure and report on
countywide GHG emissions by sharing this data between cities and partners, establishing a
public facing dashboard for tracking progress, and using the information to inform regional
climate action.
II. Climate Policy
Pathway: Support strong federal, regional, state, countywide and local climate policy.
Catalytic Policy Commitment: Advocate for comprehensive federal, regional and state
science-based limits and a market-based price on carbon pollution and other greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions. A portion of revenue from these policies should support local GHG reduction
efforts that align with these Joint County-City Climate Commitments, such as funding for transit
service, energy efficiency projects, and forest protection and restoration initiatives.
III. Transportation and Land Use
Pathway: For passenger vehicles and light trucks, reduce vehicle miles traveled by 20% below
2012 levels by 2030 and GHG emissions intensity of fuels by 15% below 2012 levels by 2030.
Catalytic Policy Commitment: Partner to secure state authority for funding to sustain and grow
transit service in King County.
Catalytic Policy Commitment: Reduce climate pollution, build our renewable energy economy,
and lessen our dependence on imported fossil fuels, by supporting the adoption of a statewide
low carbon fuel standard that gradually lowers pollution from transportation fuels.
Catalytic Policy Commitment: Focus new development in vibrant centers that locate jobs,
affordable housing, and services close to transit, bike and pedestrian options so more people
have faster, convenient and low GHG emissions ways to travel.
Catalytic Project or Program: As practical, for King County and cities developing transit
oriented communities around high capacity light rail and transit projects, adopt the Puget Sound
Regional Council’s Growing Transit Communities Compact. For smaller cities, participate in
programs promoting proven alternative technology solutions such as vehicle electrification, as
well as joint carpool and vanpool promotional campaigns.
Joint County-City Climate Commitments

IV. Energy Supply
Pathway: Increase countywide renewable electricity use 20% beyond 2012 levels by 2030;
phase out coal-fired electricity sources by 2025; limit construction of new natural gas based
electricity power plants; support development of increasing amounts of renewable energy
sources.
Catalytic Policy Commitment: Build on existing state renewable energy commitments
including the Washington State Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) to partner with local
utilities, state regulators and other stakeholders on a countywide commitment to renewable
energy resources, including meeting energy demand through energy efficiency improvements
and phasing out fossil fuels.
Catalytic Project or Program: In partnership with utilities, develop a package of county and
city commitments that support increasingly renewable energy sources, in areas such as
community solar, green power community challenges, streamlined local renewable energy
installation permitting, district energy, and renewable energy incentives.
V. Green Building and Energy Efficiency
Pathway: Reduce energy use in all existing buildings 25% below 2012 levels by 2030; achieve
net-zero GHG emissions in new buildings by 2030.
Catalytic Policy Commitment: Join the Regional Code Collaboration and work to adopt code
pathways that build on the Washington State Energy Code, leading the way to “net-zero
carbon” buildings through innovation in local codes, ordinances, and related partnerships.
Catalytic Project or Program: Develop a multi-city partnership to help build a regional energy
efficiency retrofit economy, including tactics such as: collaborating with energy efficiency and
green building businesses, partnering with utilities, expanding on existing retrofit programs,
adopting local building energy benchmarking and disclosure ordinances, and encouraging
voluntary reporting and collaborative initiatives such as the 2030 District framework.
Joint County-City Climate Commitments
Page 36 of 81
VI. Consumption and Materials Management:
Pathway: By 2020, achieve a 70% recycling rate countywide; by 2030, achieve zero waste of
resources that have economic value for reuse, resale and recycling.
Catalytic Policy Commitment: Partner through the Metropolitan Solid Waste Management
Advisory Committee on policy, projects and programs focused on (1) waste prevention and
reuse, (2) product stewardship, recycling, and composting, and (3) beneficial use.
Catalytic Project or Program: Develop a regional strategy through the Comprehensive Solid
Waste Management Plan process to reach 70% recycling through a combination of education,
incentives and regulatory tools aimed at single-family, multi-family residents, businesses, and
construction projects in King County.
VII. Forests and Farming
Pathway: Reduce sprawl and associated transportation related GHG emissions and sequester
biological carbon by focusing growth in urban centers and protecting and restoring forests and
farms.
Catalytic Policy Commitment: Partner on Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) initiatives to
focus development within the Urban Growth Area, reduce development pressure on rural
lands, and protect our most valuable and important resource lands.
Catalytic Project or Program: Protect and restore the health of urban and community trees
and forests, for example through public-private-community efforts such as Forterra’s Green
Cities Partnerships.
Catalytic Project or Program: Partner on collaborative efforts to expand forest and farm
stewardship and protection, for example through King Conservation District’s farm
management planning, landowner incentive, and grant programs.
Catalytic Project or Program: Expand our local food economy, for example by supporting
urban and community farming, buying locally produced food, and participating in the Farm City
Roundtable forum.
Joint County-City Climate Commitments
Page 37 of 81
VIII. Government Operations
Pathway: Reduce GHG emissions from government operations in support of countywide
goals.
Policy Commitment: Develop and adopt near and long-term government operational GHG
reduction targets that support countywide goals, and implement actions that reduce each local
government’s GHG footprint.
Catalytic Project or Program: In support of the Section V. Green Building and Energy
Efficiency pathway targets to reduce energy use in existing buildings 25% below 2012 levels by
2030 and achieve net-zero GHG emissions in new buildings by 2030: execute energy
efficiency projects and initiatives at existing facilities, measure existing building performance
through EPA’s Energy Star or equivalent program, implement high-efficiency street and traffic
light replacement projects, and construct new buildings to LEED or Living Building Challenge
standards and infrastructure to equivalent sustainability standards.
IX. Collaboration
Policy Commitment: Participate in or join the King County-Cities Climate Collaboration (K4C)
– focused on efforts to coordinate and enhance city and County climate and sustainability
efforts – to share case studies, subject matter experts, resources, tools, and to collaborate on
grant and funding opportunities.
Catalytic Project or Program: Engage and lead government-business collaborative action
through efforts such as the Eastside Sustainable Business Alliance.

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR CLIMATE COLLABORATION
This Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into pursuant to Chapter 39.34 RCW among
participating Cities of King County, (hereinafter referred to as the "Cities"), and King
County, (hereinafter referred to as the "County"), 201 S. Jackson, Suite 701, Seattle, WA
98104 (collectively, “the Parties”) Chapter 39.34 RCW.
Whereas, we, King County and the undersigned Cities of King County, wish to work
together to directly respond to climate change and reduce global and local sources of climate
pollution;
Whereas, we believe that by working together we can increase our efficiency and
effectiveness in making progress towards this goal;
Whereas, we are interested in achieving this goal in a way that builds a cleaner, stronger and
more resilient regional economy;
Whereas, we are interested in focusing on local solutions to leverage and partner with related
collaborative efforts;

Will always exist
Multiple ways to report:
Email Auburn App
Phone In Person
Online
Initiate investigation by visiting the
property (usually within 24-48 hours).
Once the initial investigation has
been completed, a case is opened and
we determine if a violation exists. If
a violation exists, we work with the
property owner or tenants to gain
compliance through clear, concise
communication.
The goal is always to achieve
voluntary compliance.

Prior to April 2017, not all Code Enforcement interactions were tracked. If a violation
was confirmed on a property, a case was opened (VIO16-0000). In March 2017, the
prefix (VIO) was removed from the system and the type of interaction was entered in
the case. A case is now opened on all Code Enforcement interactions which include
investigations, pro-active, social service and violation type cases.

Re: Temporary Signs
REGULATORY OVERVIEW:
Auburn City Code regulates signs under Chapter 18.56. Regulations address the type, size and
location of signs within each type of zoning designation (e.g. sign regulations within a residential
zone are different than regulations in a commercial zone). Within Chapter 18.56 there are
specific provisions for certain signs that are exempt from City regulations, certain signs that are
temporary in nature, and a specific section on real estate signs. This memo provides an
overview of exempt signs, temporary signs, and real estate signs.
• Exempt Signs (ACC 18.56.030.H) – Irrespective of the zoning designation, the following
types of signs are exempt from the City’s sign code (however, they may still be governed
under other types of federal, state or local rules – e.g. building codes, or restrictions on
the use utility poles and guard rails). The following list is copied from the adopted City
Code:
1. The flag of a government or noncommercial institutions such as school, with
poles treated as structures.
2. Official public notices, official court notices.
3. Incidental signs (noncommercial and informational signage for the convenience
of the public and no more than 2 square feet per sign; examples include hours of
operation, entrance and exit signs, restrooms, etc.)
4. Signs non visible from public right-of-way.
5. Lettering or symbols painted directly onto or flush-mounted magnetically onto an
operable vehicle.
6. Painting, repainting, cleaning, repairing, and other normal maintenance unless
structural or electrical changes are made.
7. Religious symbols not attached to a permitted sign.
8. Memorial signs or tablets, names of buildings, dates of erection and the like are
incorporated into the building material and façade.
9. Signs required by law, traffic or pedestrian control signs, signs indicating scenic
or historic points of interest, which are erected by or on the order of a public
officer in the performance of his or her duty.
10. Sculptures, fountains, mosaics, and design features which do not incorporate
advertising or identification.
11. Temporary signs limited to exclusively noncommercial speech.
• Temporary Signs (ACC 18.56.030.B) – Irrespective of the zoning designation there are
provisions which allow for the temporary placement of signs on a property. There are 3
Page 77 of 81
basic categories of temporary signs which are described below. Permits are not
required for these types of signs.
1. Special event signage provided that it is limited to 10 days per display, not to
exceed 10 days in a 90 day period, and not to exceed 30 square feet in size.
2. Banners provided that no more than 2 banners may be used on site at any given
time, the use of such signs is limited to 90 consecutive days, may not exceed 90
days within a 120 day period, and not to exceed 32 square feet in size.
3. Signs placed upon or within a window that can be viewed from the right of way
provided that the sign cannot exceed 50% of the window area.
• Real Estate Signs (ACC 18.56.025) – Irrespective of the zoning designation there are a
number of stipulations outlined in the code that address real estate signs. While
regulated, real estate signs do not necessitate a permit. The following requirements are
addressed in City Code and govern the placement of real estate signs on private
property:
1. Signs must be wood, plastic, or other durable material.
2. “For Sale” and “Sold” signs are limited to ne sign per street frontage, are not to
exceed 5 square feet per side, must be placed entirely on the property for sale,
and are not to exceed 7 feet in height.
3. “Open House” signs are limited to one sign per street frontage on the premises, 3
off premise signs, permitted only during daylight hours, and are not to exceed 5
square feet per side.
4. “For Sale or Rent” signs for undeveloped commercial and industrial properties
are limited to one sign per street frontage provided the building is actually
constructed and available for rent or sale. If there is less than 10 feet between
the building and the right of way, the sign must be placed in a window or on the
building. The sign shall not exceed 8 feet in height, shall be located at least 15
feet from an abutting property line, and shall not exceed 32 square feet per side.
5. “For Sale” signs for undeveloped residential land are limited to one sign per
street frontage, shall not exceed 32 square feet per side, shall not exceed 8 feet
in height, and if the sign is larger than 5 square feet it must be located at least 30
feet from any abutting property lines.
6. Additional signs. The City Code allows the Department Director to grant special
permission to allow temporary off-premise signs in addition to the above provided
they do not exceed 5 square feet in size or 42 inches in height.
• Real Estate Signs within the Public Right of Way. The above standards apply to private
property. There are no codified sign standards that govern the placement of temporary
real estate signs within the public right of way. The City has a history of allowing
builders to place signs within the right of way that advertise communities/subdivisions in
which they are building homes. The City has the right and authority to allow these types
of signs or to prohibit them. Through administrative policy, City has developed an
application form, insurance requirements, and size and placement limitations.
