Re: 2019 VRFA Fee Schedule Update
OVERVIEW
The Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA) was established in 2007 under RCW 52.26 as a Fire Authority
that serves the cities of Auburn, Algona, and Pacific. As a Fire Authority VRFA operates as a separate
municipal corporation, with independent taxing authority, and within an independent taxing district.
While VRFA is a separate Fire Authority and is organizationally independent from the City of Auburn,
VRFA continues to have a role in reviewing development proposals and conducting inspections during
the construction process. Within VRFA, it is the Fire Marshal’s Office that performs these functions.
While VRFA has taxing authority within its jurisdictional boundary, taxpayers do not fund all services
offered by VRFA. In some instances there are fees charged to customers who are seeking direct service,
e.g. a permit to construct a commercial building. In other words, permit customers pay a substantial
portion of the direct service they are seeking, as opposed to the service being subsidized across the
taxing district. Stated in yet another way, a residential taxpayer who pays a portion of their property taxes
to VRFA is generally not providing a significant level monetary contribution to a commercial real estate
proposal or a new residential subdivision.
Since the Fire Authority was established in 2007, VRFA has collected fees for reviewing development
plans and conducting construction inspections. In Auburn, VRFA fees are collected by the City and
distributed to VRFA. This practice was put in place in order to ensure that Auburn could achieve a one-
stop permitting shop. Instead of sending customers to a VRFA office to pay fees and apply for separate
fire permits, customers can submit, pay and pick up permits at the City’s Permit Center. More times than
not, the customer never knows that they are interacting with, and paying, separate governmental entities.
The proposed 2019 VRFA fee schedule is adjusted for the cost of living increase of 3.6% based on the
semi-annual Seattle Tacoma Bellevue CPI-W experienced by the region.
While VRFA is a separate agency, with a separate Governance Board that has authority to establish its
own service fees, the Auburn City Council has a role in endorsing fees that are collected by the City and
distributed to other agencies (similar to Council’s role in reviewing school district fees and taking action to
authorize the collection of these external agency fees). Typically, City Council would provide this
endorsement through action of a Resolution, which then enables procedural efforts to occur that facilitate
collection of the relevant fees and fee types.
The materials attached to this memo have been prepared by VRFA. Representatives from VRFA will be
present during the January 14, 2019 Study Session discussion. They will present the proposal and be
available to answer questions.

OPERATIONAL PERMITS
See last page for explanatory notes 4 of 5Page 14 of 59
Explanatory notes:
1. The VRFA establishes its review and inspection fees on a percentage of the permit fee assessed by the authority
having jurisdiction. Using a percentage of the jurisdictional fee as the basis of VRFA fees eliminates the need to
adjust the VRFA fee schedule every time a jurisdictional fee changes.
2.The fee only applies to single family occupancies that require fire protection systems.
3. Hourly rate is based on the direct costs of VRFA staff time, salary, benefits, overhead, administrative costs, and
resources.
4. Includes plan review and first two inspections.
5. Preventable nuisance and malfunction false alarms exist to reduce unwarranted calls that remove emergency
apparatus from service. Though there is no penalty for 1st and 2nd violations, it provides the opportunity for the
VRFA to educate owners about any mechanical problems within a system that may not be the fault of occupancy
tenants. It further grants the opportunity for repair technicians to correct any deficiencies that may exist.
Subsequent false alarms incur a penalty in an attempt to encourage needed repairs of the associated systems.
6. The VRFA Fire Marshal is authorized to reduce or waive any fees for permits. In compelling cases where the
applicant -the party responsible for payment of such fees -is an organization exempt from taxation under 26 USC
501(c)(3), and where the permit relates directly to the provision of charitable services to residences of the VRFA
service area, the VRFA Fire Marshal is vested with discretion to reduce any fees for permits, publications, and
actions by up to 50%.
7. Permits that are not completed and no project improvements are made can, in writing, ask for the inspection fees
to be refunded.

Draft Ordinance
Budget Impact:
Current Budget: $0

Administrativ e Recommendation:
Approve Ordinance XXXX
Background Summary:
This ordinance adopts the crime of “Identity Theft” into the City Code as a Gross
Misdemeanor, punishable by up to 364 days in jail and a $5,000 fine. Adopting this crime
allows the City Prosecutors to have a more logical argument to present to a jury than the
current requirement that they charge the crime of “attempted identity theft".
This revision was originally proposed as part of what was eventually adopted as Ordinance
6699 last year. It was pulled out of that ordinance in order for Council to discuss it further.
Council discussed this matter at the August 27 and September 10 study sessions.
As staff explained earlier, State law divides felony crimes into 3 classes: A, B, and C. Class
C felonies are the least serious of the 3. When a person attempts to commit a crimes, the
law reduces the crime by one degree. For example, an attempt to commit a class A felony is
a class B felony, an attempt to commit a class B felony is a class C, and an attempt to commit
a class C felony becomes a gross misdemeanor.
The King County Prosecutor’s Office has the exclusive authority to decide whether to charge
a felony. The list of county-declined class C felony cases coming to the City prosecutor’s
office for charging continues to grow. Because the City may only charge crimes that are
misdemeanors and gross misdemeanors, when the county declines to charge a Class C
felony, the City prosecutors can only charge the crime if it is charged as an “attempt” to
commit that class C felony (thereby reducing it to a gross misdemeanor within our charging
jurisdiction).

appropriated resides, or in which any part of the offense took place, regardless of whether the
defendant was ever actually in that locality.
C. Violation of this section is a gross misdemeanor, punishable by up to 364 days in jail and/or
a $5,000 fine.
D. This section is intended to supplement city jurisdiction in identity theft cases that could have
been prosecuted as felonies but which were declined by the county in which the offense occurred
or which do not meet the county’s charging guidelines. If a person is charged with identity theft
under state law for a particular incident, the person shall not also be charged under this section
for the same conduct.

Re: Heritage Site Update
PW&CD Special Focus Area Chair DaCorsi requested that staff provide an ongoing update of
the status of demolition and redevelopment of the Heritage Site. This is the first memo that
provides background information and a current summary of the status of this. Future memos
will build upon this memo so that each memo includes a chronology of past events and
milestones along with a narrative that describes the current status of this site.

11/1/18 – City Staff Learns that the Owner Has Elected to Utilize a Different Contractor
to Finish the Demolition Activity (Remove the Debris, Fill the Site with Clean Fill, and
Hydroseed the Site)
o Staff was Concerned to Learn this. It Meant that the New Contractor Would
Have to Apply for a New Demolition Permit Because they are Not Permitted to
Use the Same Permit Applied for by a Different Contractor.
o Because of this Information Staff Determined that this Change Would Cause
Further Delays
11/7/18 – Code Enforcement Issues Notice of Civil Penalty due to the Failure to Meet
the 10/31/18 Demolition Deadline ($500 Initial Fine Plus $100 Per Day Until Compliance
Completed – on 1/14/19 the accrued fine will be $6,200 which will continue at $100 per
day)
Current Status
There are 3 primary areas of focus regarding the current status of the site: (1) demolition, (2)
redevelopment, and (3) schedule for redevelopment.
1. Demolition. As noted above, two phases of demolition have been completed. Phase 3
remains incomplete. Phase 3 constitutes removal of all debris on site, filling the site so
that it is at grade to the surrounding properties, hydroseeding or gravelling the site,
illuminating the site, restoration of any damaged surrounding pavement or structures
(light poles and park benches), and fencing the site.
This continues to be a challenge for City staff. The Phase 2 demolition permit included a
number of conditions that have yet to be completed (See Attachment A for full list). For
this reason, the project and property remain out of compliance. According to the
property owner, the contractor has increased their costs. According to the contractor,
the property owner provided a narrower scope of service for the work that they were
hired to carry out. From a City staff perspective, it is difficult for City staff to understand Page 34 of 59
the miscommunications between the property owner and the demolition contractor.
Especially in light of the fact that the permit issued by the City contains all of the
conditions, which means that the property owner and contractor have had access to this
information from the moment the permit was issued on 8/30/18 and via email as early as
5/10/18 when City staff proactively provided the list of conditions before the application
was submitted. Nonetheless, the contractor is wrapping up the scope of work that they
were paid for and the owner has elected to use a different contractor to finish the rest of
the work. Unfortunately, this has led to delays in completing the demolition work. It is
for this reason that City code enforcement started assessing financial penalties against
the property owner when it issued a “Notice of Civil Penalty” on 11/7/18. As noted in the
final bullet point above, on 1/14/19 (the date of City Council Study Session) fines will
have accrued to an amount of $6,200.00 and will continue to accrue at a rate of $100.00
per day until full compliance is achieved. This type of financial penalty is filed as a lien
that is recorded against the title of the property.
2. Redevelopment. On 10/18/18, the property owner informed City staff that she had hired
an architect and was seeking to set up a pre-application meeting. City staff suggested
that a better route would be to begin an ongoing dialogue about code requirements.
This suggestion was made because City staff was certain that the nature of this site
demanded a more creative redevelopment solution due to the fact that redevelopment
could not occur without flexible application of the city code. The following examples help
explain staff’s position:
The site is small and has no vehicular access. There is an adjacent building to
the west, a public plaza to the east, Main Street to the north, and a public
sidewalk and property to the south.
The prior building provided no parking and the site is too small to accommodate
adequate parking to serve the redevelopment. This non-conforming situation
demands flexibility in how we apply modern codes to the redevelopment.
Interpretations are necessary in order to determine what it means to “build back
what was there before”. Does this mean the exact same building or is there
flexibility in the design, height, and number of units within the building? Is there
flexibility in the uses that would be allowed within the building? Is there flexibility
in how much commercial square footage will be required?
The soils at this site need to be adequately investigated in order to understand
what options exist for the foundation of a modern building.
After many code related questions and answers exchanged via email the property owner
provided an architectural rendering to City staff on 11/21/18. This package is attached
to this memo as Attachment B. In response to this submittal City staff met with the
property owner and architect on 12/11/18. The meeting prompted a new round of code
related questions and answers. It is anticipated that an updated set of conceptual
designs will be submitted this month. At a minimum (and as noted in item #3 below), the
property owner is required to submit a formal design review package for City
consideration by 1/31/19. This will be the first formal submittal as part of the
redevelopment schedule.
3. Schedule for Redevelopment. As a follow up to the City’s 11/7/18 Code Enforcement
action, the property owner provided the city with a draft schedule for redevelopment of
the site. The redevelopment schedule includes design, permit review, and construction.
The property owner provided a redevelopment schedule to City staff on 12/5/18.
Between 12/5/18 and 12/21/18, the property owner and City staff exchanged emails with
several different iterations of the schedule. A final redevelopment schedule was agreed
upon on 12/21/18. The schedule is as follows: Page 35 of 59
