CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 1:00 pm by Chairman DiQuattro. Roll Call: Committee Members present: Chairman Giovanni DiQuattro; Vice Chair Bill Cowart; Members Bob Klontz, Ronnie Roberts, John Rottle, Megan White Committee Members absent: Members Kelly Gordon, Darren Jones and Ruth Neil- Stover City staff present: Josh Arndt, Economic Development Senior Officer; Holly Ferry, Committee Secretary ADA Board Members present: Brittiany Karlson, President; Cheryl Rakes II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Committee Member Klontz moved and Member Rottle second to approve the September 12, 2019 meeting minutes. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 5-0 III. FINANCIAL REPORT Economic Development Senior Officer, Josh Arndt, reviewed the data on the Financial Report with the ending fund balance through August 2019. IV. OLD BUSINESS A. Marketing and Branding Officer Arndt reported that he had written a paragraph for the Newsletter explaining the Buy Local Website. B. BIA Newsletter A copy of the September newsletter and analytics was provided. The open rate had increased slightly this month. Page 4 of 28 C. Update on Priority Projects Presented to City Council 1. Additional Security Lighting Officer Arndt reported that the new lighting in the B Street Plaza is working well to illuminate the area. Chairman DiQuattro suggested they reevaluate how much additional lighting the Committee would like to put up once all the City lights are working and now that the PSE lights are up and dark spots can be identified. 2. Christmas Decorations Member Jones was absent so no update was given on the purchase of commercial LED lights. Officer Arndt will talk to Member Jones. 3. Banners Officer Arndt provided an a map and examples of pole bracket pricing that he had found online for around $100 a pole. He reported that he talked to a company in Sumner that would do installation for $105 to $150 a pole, depending on whether or not they would have to rent a boom truck or use a ladder. His services would include ordering the brackets, obtaining permits, and installation. He would be happy to meet with the Committee. He informed Officer Arndt that he could also install bike racks. There was discussion about installation of the brackets and if the City should do the installation or should the Committee contract with someone. It was suggested that the Committee should decide on the number of brackets they want to purchase and a dollar amount of what they are willing to spend and then present it to the City to see what could be done and if it can be worked into their schedule. It was suggested that the purchase and installation be staged in different sections of the BIA and in different periods. Officer Arndt reported that PSE is open to the placement of brackets on their poles, but they would need to know where they would go and the standard specs. The Committee decided that a sub-committee should be established to determine the details of where to install, how much money should be spent and so forth. Committee Member Roberts moved and Member Rottle second to establish a sub- committee to determine on which poles to attach the brackets. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0 Members Roberts and Rottle and Officer Arndt agreed to serve on the sub- committee. Page 5 of 28 D. Update on 2019 Façade Grant Program There was concern raised that there has not been follow-through by the person in charge of working with applicants of the Façade Grant Program. It was recommended that contact information for the person in charge be included in the BIA Newsletter, as well as the chain of command. Officer Arndt will look into it and inform the Committee of the chain of command and who the points of contact are. E. Heritage Building Update Officer Arndt reported that they have put in for building permits and are working with planners to make any necessary changes to the plans. It will be a mixed-use residential building that will include around 60 micro-apartments, with retail on the bottom floor that will face the B Street Plaza and Main Street and an interior garage. They will get credit for the units that were lost, because they did not have parking for them, and any additional units beyond that they will have to provide parking for in their building. F. Unpaid BIA Fees There was no update on this topic. G. Rules of Procedure In the previous month’s meeting, it was decided that clarification was needed as to whether or not alternates are required to be included in the vote . Officer Arndt informed the Committee that alternates are n ot required to vote, but it takes a majority of the Committee members, not including alternates, to vote. Because there are seven members on the Committee, it would ta ke four members to vote. Office Arndt provided three proposed modifications to the Rules of Procedure for the Committee’s review and vote. Vice Chair Cowart moved and Member Rottle second to accept the proposed language modifications in Section II Membership, paragraph 5, which will mirror language in the Auburn City Code (ACC) 2.98.060(B) to say, “Upon the resignation of a Committee member, removal by the City Council, or expiration of a committee member’s term, the Committee shall make recommendations to the City Council and the City Council shall make an appointment to fill the vacancy.” MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0 Vice Chair Cowart moved and Member White second to accept the proposed modifications in Section III Meetings, paragraph 6, to read, “The Committee shall consider proposals for economic development and neighborhood revitalization projects and programs consistent with the purposes listed in 2.98.030, provide for Page 6 of 28 public input and submit comments in a timely manner to the Mayor and City Council.” MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0 Member Roberts moved and Member White second to accept the proposed modifications in Section III Meetings, paragraph 8, to read, “Regular meetings shall be held on the second Thursday of each month and shall be open to the public. The meeting shall convene at 1:00 P.M. unless otherwise directed by the Co mmittee’s Secretary, the Economic Development Staff or the Chair.” MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0 Vice Chair Cowart left the meeting at this point. H. Bike Racks Officer Arndt reported that it is the City that maintains existing bike racks, and there are no design standards. There would be no need to do anything from a building permit standard, unless it was higher than 7 feet tall. Member White moved and Member Roberts second to allocate $5,000 toward the purchase and installation of bike racks. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 5-0 Officer Arndt will follow up with Public Works to inform them of the Committee’s proposal to allocate the funds toward this project. I. LED Light Project There was no update on this topic. V. NEW BUSINESS A. Businesses Doing Small Things Outside Their Business Chairman DiQuattro explained to the Committee how someone from A Little Knitty had knitted something and attached it to a City pole. They received permission from the City and was told that she could only leave it up for three weeks at a time, but then they came back and said it is art, so it can be left up indefinitely. Since then, business owners have been asking Chairman DiQuattro if they can do something in front of their building, and if so, will the BIA help them. He asked the Committee if this is something they would want to do. Officer Arndt posed the question that if you’re spending BIA money, how do you do it so that it benefits all and not just a specific business. He suggested that it Page 7 of 28 might be a better idea to put out a request for proposals so that business owners could submit their ideas. It was decided that the idea should be added to the October BIA Newsletter so that business owners could submit any ideas that would spruce up downtown. ADA member Cheryl Rakes brought up that the sandwich boards in the downtown area are getting out of control, and customers have started coming into her business and commenting about them. She provided picture examples for the Committee to view. The City code describes the dimensions of the signs, but it says nothing about what the signs need to be made of. Chairman DiQuattro stated that to change code, it has to be taken t o City Council. Officer Arndt informed the Committee that they need to identify some suggestions and guidelines for City Council to amend the code, and once certain standards are agreed upon and the code is amended, Code Enforcement can ensure that businesses comply. At that point, the Committee may consider offering a business funds to go toward a sandwich board that is compliant with the new standards. Officer Arndt will check with Planning to see if they have any standards already identified. The idea was raised to see the standards that other cities have. IV. AUBURN DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION UPDATE ADA member, Cheryl Rakes, reported that things are moving forward, and there will be an ADA Board next year. The details have not been worked out, but she reported that she will probably be the ADA President. Next month, an update on the street fair will be given. V. CHAMBER BOARD UPDATE BIA Chamber Board representative, Janice Nelson, reported that Chairman DiQuattro and Officer Arndt came to the last Chamber Board meeting, and gave a presentation about the workings of the BIA and the ADA . The presentation was emailed to the board as well. During the meeting, the past chairman brought up the point that there had already been conversations with the City about how the Chamber could partner with the ADA and the BIA on certain events. She indicated that the Chamber is very interested in partnering with the BIA/ADA. There were some concerns on the BIA/ADA side that the Chamber is more geographically spread out than the ADA. Chairman DiQuattro replied that the Committee may be able to contract with an event coordinator to do specific projects for the downtown. Member Roberts added that the Chamber’s thought is that they might be able to provide a project manager that the ADA could pay to handle the details of an event. Chairman DiQuattro summarized that the ADA puts on the projects, the Chamber would contract with the ADA, and the ADA would put it in their budget and then ask the BIA to pay for it. In the meantime, the Chamber needs to talk with the president Page 8 of 28 of the ADA. Representative Nelson asked if the BIA would be supportive of the proposed idea, and the response from the Committee was that they would be. VI. TOURISM BOARD UPDATE There was no update. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Committe e, the meeting adjourned at 2:35 pm. APPROVED this 10th day of October, 2019. ________________________________ ________________________________ Giovanni DiQuattro, Chair Holly Ferry, Committee Secretary Page 9 of 28 AGENDA BILL APPROVAL FORM Agenda Subject: Financial Report through September 2019 Date: November 12, 2019 Department: Administration Attachments: Financial Report through September 2019 Budget Impact: Current Budget: $0 Proposed Revision: $0 Revised Budget: $0 Administrativ e Recommendation: Background Summary: Rev iewed by Council Committees: Councilmember:Staff: Meeting Date:November 14, 2019 Item Number: Page 10 of 28 BIA Financial Report through September 2019 Fund balance through September is approximately $107k; total expenditure authority is only $95,400 Page 11 of 28 AGENDA BILL APPROVAL FORM Agenda Subject: BIA Newsletter Date: November 12, 2019 Department: Administration Attachments: BIA News letter Analytics - October 2019 Budget Impact: Current Budget: $0 Proposed Revision: $0 Revised Budget: $0 Administrativ e Recommendation: Background Summary: Rev iewed by Council Committees: Councilmember:Staff: Meeting Date:November 14, 2019 Item Number: Page 12 of 28 City of Auburn - Bulletin Detail Report Subject:Auburn Business Improvement Area (BIA) Newsletter Sent:10/10/2019 05:27 PM PDT Sent By:jarndt@auburnwa.gov Sent To:Subscribers of Business Improvement Area (BIA) Updates 194 Recipients Email SMS Facebook Twitter RSS 93% Delivered 0%Pending 7%Bounced 32%Open Rate 0%Click Rate Minutes Cumulative Attempted 3 96% 5 96% 10 96% 30 96% 60 96% 120 96% Email Delivery Stats 194 Total Sent 180 (93%)Delivered 0 (0%)Pending 14 (7%)Bounced 0 (0%)Unsubscribed Delivery Metrics - Details 97 Total Opens 57 (32%)Unique Opens 0 Total Clicks 0 (0%)Unique Clicks 16 # of Links Bulletin Analytics Page 13 of 28 These figures represent all data since the bulletin was first sent to present time.

Whilst being an efficient means of transporting large quantities of goods, lorries are a constant source of danger to pedestrians and present the threat of damage to roadside structures and street furniture. Buildings that overhang the road on the path of the vehicle are also at risk of impact and in need of protection. Unnecessary damage results in blemishes on our environment and damage repair is both costly and inconvenient. The revolutionary Bell and Avector Bollards are a simple yet effective solution to combat such problems. When positioned on the anticipated line of deviation of the vehicle, the wheel will at first rise up the bollard before deflecting away back towards the carriageway as the slope angle increases. Such is the mass and foundation of the Bell, the bollard itself remains firmly in place and structurally undamaged. From the original full Bell 100 Bollard, with its deep foundation, a further 8 versions of the Bell have been developed. The Avector is a new introduction to our traffic-calming product range, based on the principles of the Bell but with contemporary styling to suit more modern environments. The Bell and Avector offer practical traffic calming solutions, present a visual deterrent to speeding and are attractive streetscape features in their own right. Bell Bollards. All rights reserved.

A lorry wheel can be seen cutting across the line of the bollard, rising up the face before being deflected back into the carriageway and away from the pavement. This and further evidence can be viewed at the following link: http://www.furnitubes.com/product/bell-bollard Manufactured in heavy duty cast iron, Bell bollards provide a stable vehicular obstacle that even high-axled lorries are unable to drive over without causing irreparable damage to the underside of the vehicle. The low profile and unique shape of the bollard combined with a large foundation block renders it almost impossible for any vehicle to de-stablise or overturn a Bell installation. By comparison almost any conventional bollard, whatever the material, will almost inevitably suffer damage in the event of vehicle strike, resulting in inconvenient and often costly repairs and replacement. With the extended range now including 9 different product options to suit almost any installation scenario, Bell Bollards can assist in controlling vehicular movements and prevent them over-running their permitted route alignment, offering practical solutions for the purpose / benefit of: • Pedestrian safety • Prevention of damage to roadside equipment and street furniture • Protection of buildings and structures, particularly corners and overhangs • Localised protection of roadside kerbline • Vehicular width restriction • Preservation of soft verge www.furnitubes.com tel: 0208 378 3200© Furnitubes 2017BELL BOLLARD RANGE Ref: S-081-02-16Page 19 of 28 BELL - FULL BELL 100 Cast iron traffic bollard Weight: 165kg BELL - DECORATIVE BELL 500 Cast iron traffic bollard Weight: 115kg BELL - BOLT-DOWN + SUB-FRAME BELL 500X Cast iron traffic bollard with steel sub-frame (supplied loose for on-site assembly) Weight: 155kg 475450Ø60047570 Ø600475450 Ø600BELL 100 - the original Bell - is designed for open sites where there are no obstructions to a full depth installation, and is typically used on pavements that are vulnerable to being mounted by vehicles, and also for width restriction purposes. The shallow-rooted BELL 500 is designed for use where there are continuous underground obstructions, and is ideal for use on decked structures such as bridges. The BELL 500X is designed for locations with known underground services, concrete reinforcement or other obstrcutions. The legs of the sub-frame can be aligned so the bollard bridges over service runs etc. www.furnitubes.com tel: 0208 378 3200© Furnitubes 2017BELL BOLLARD RANGE Ref: S-082-03-16Page 20 of 28 BELL - THREE QUARTER BELL 340 Cast iron traffic bollard Weight: 125kg BELL - HALF BELL 120 Cast iron traffic bollard Weight: 120kg BELL - KERBLINE BELL 600 Cast iron traffic bollard Weight: 80kg Top of Kerb475 450Ø600475450 300475305315145615 600 The 3/4 Bell is designed to protect the corners of buildings and other structures. The bollard is placed up close to the wall and requires free access to the full depth of the root for a permanent robust installation. The 1/2 Bell is designed for placement against walls or in situations where there is insuffficent space to install a full Bell, for example where there is limited pavement width to the rear. The Bell 600 - the latest addition to the Bell range - is designed for placement within a straight-faced (conservation-type) kerbline. It is ideal for vehicular width restriction purposes. www.furnitubes.com tel: 0208 378 3200© Furnitubes 2017BELL BOLLARD RANGE Ref: S-083-02-16Page 21 of 28 BELL - CITY BELL 138 Cast iron traffic bollard (City bollard not included - order separately) Weight: 145kg BELL - FULL / 115 POST BELL 115 Cast iron traffic bollard with 115mm dia hole (Post / railing post not included - order separately) Weight: 155kg BELL - FULL / 150 POST BELL 150 Cast iron traffic bollard with 150mm dia hole (Tall bollard not included - order separately) Weight: 125kg 475450565 (x 600)475450 Ø600475450 Ø600Ø115 Ø150 The Bell 138 is shaped to accommodate a City cast iron bollard to the rear of the product to improve visibilty of the traffic calming solution. This product is most commonly used in situations where there is no raised kerb to mark the carriageway edge. The Bell 115 has a vertical hole for placement of a 115mm dia circular bollard or post (to aid visibility) or a 115mm dia railing post (to offer protection to the railings on the vulnerable ends of runs). The Bell 150 has a vertical hole for placement of a 150mm dia circular bollard (such as the Capital as shown above) to improve visibility of the Bell for both drivers and pedestrians. www.furnitubes.com tel: 0208 378 3200© Furnitubes 2017BELL BOLLARD RANGE Ref: S-084-02-16Page 22 of 28 General specification All products in the Bell Bollard range are manufactured in cast iron and supplied in a primed finish as standard. We recommend that top coats are applied on site after installation. Installation details Bell Bollards require a suitable foundation if they are to perform their design function of displacing vehicular wheels and presenting a fixed obstacle. Shown below is the minimum requirement for the concrete foundation block for the Bell 100 bollard in a typical carriageway installation in normal ground conditions. Particular attention should be paid to the following: • Set the bollard at a depth so the ground level indicator line is at the finished paving level. For sloped sites the line should be at the finished level on the vehicular side of the bollard. • Ensure concrete penetrates through the below-ground apertures into the internal void of the bollard at least to the ground level. • Set the bollard true plumb, including on sloped sites. BELL 100 minimum installation requirements Foundations for other Bell Bollards should have minimum offsets from the faces of the products as shown for the Bell 100. The professional advice of a highway / civil engineer should be sought if there are any queries regarding the ground conditions or doubts over the suitablity of the foundation.

Adding Bell bollards such as the Bell 115 into the scheme design can significantly improve pedestian safety by deflecting wheels away from the pavement and provide an immovable vehicular obstacle Example applications Shown here are diagrams of schematic site layouts utilising Bell bollards in various traffic calming scenarios. Selecting the most suitable model to use in your scheme will depend largely on the site-specific ground conditions into which the bollard will be installed, and any other constraints that the site may present. We recommend that the site is assessed and set out by a qualified highways engineer, with the placement of individual bollards taking account of vehicular sweep paths, to be determined with the aid of vehicular tracking software if necessary. A pre-construction safety audit may also be advisable in order to assess any issues such as visibility of the proposed Bell products, from both a driver and pedestrian points of view. Whatever constraints the site presents, one of the 9 product options will almost certainly fulfill the requirement. If not, then we are happy to consider bespoke solutions tailored to your scheme. Plan view Plan view Elevation Vehicular over-run prevention Long wheelbase vehicles in particular are prone to over-running kerblines. Positioning Bells on a designed alignment and at suitable spacings relative to the road edge will prevent vehicles from over-running the carriageway edge. The Bell 100 is the most effective product for this application. Vehicular width restriction Conventional width restrictors such as steel or timber posts are vulnerable to damage and can be readily displaced by oversize vehicles. By comparison, the lower level and much stronger form of Bell bollards offer far greater resistance to oversize vehicular access. The Bell 100 and Bell 600 models are ideal for width restriction purposes, often used in conjunction with higher visibilty traffic signage equipment. www.furnitubes.com tel: 0208 378 3200© Furnitubes 2017BELL BOLLARD RANGE Ref: S-086-02-16Page 24 of 28 Tried-and-tested throughout the UK Since its introduction nearly thirty years ago, the Bell Bollard has become a proven means of traffic calming, having been successfully used on many hundreds of schemes across the UK. The effectiveness of the Bell is now widely recognised as a tried-and-tested solution available to highways engineers. Listed below are just a small selection of local authority and private development schemes where the Bell has been successfully employed. • London-wide Full Bell (BELL 100) bollards are used extensivley on the trunk road network by Transport for London and on local roads by all boroughs • National Theatre, South Bank, London Numerous Full Bell (BELL 100) and Decorative Bell (BELL 500) bollards have been used to restrict the movement of vehicles around the site • Stowe House, Buckinghamshire Full Bell (BELL 100) bollards have been used at entrances to the National Trust property to protect soft verges from vehicular over-run • National Indoor Arena, Birmingham 3/4 Bell (BELL 340) bollards are employed to protect vulnerable corners of buildings from damage by delivery vehicles www.furnitubes.com tel: 0208 378 3200© Furnitubes 2017BELL BOLLARD RANGE Ref: S-087-03-16Page 25 of 28 International appeal Following the continued success of the Bell bollards range used in highways safety and protection schemes in the UK, products have also been supplied to a number of high-profile international locations, including: • New York City, USA Full Bell (BELL 100) bollards have been used on Manhattan’s streets as a permanent and cost effective solution to block vehicular access. • Macau, Special Administrative Region of China Full Bell (BELL 100) bollards have been employed as part of pedestrian safety improvement schemes in the city centre district and along the seafront. • Singapore Full Bell (BELL 100) bollards have been installed at the historic Anderson Bridge across the Singapore River, linking Downtown Singapore with the City Hall area. The bollards are placed to ensure large vehicles are suitably aligned on their approach to the bridge, and also to protect pedestrians on the adjacent pavements. www.furnitubes.com tel: 0208 378 3200© Furnitubes 2017BELL BOLLARD RANGE Ref: S-088-02-16Page 26 of 28 3rd Floor, Meridian House, Royal Hill, Greenwich LONDON SE10 8RD T: +44 (0)20 8378 3200 F: +44 (0)20 8378 3250 sales@furnitubes.com www.furnitubes.com View or download other product e-brochures at the following link: www.furnitubes.com/brochures BELL & AVECTOR BOLLARDS © Furnitubes 2017 ® Page 27 of 28 Rev 8 21/05/13 FURNITUBES INTERNATIONAL LTD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE 1.
