Re: Ordinance No. 6745 – 2020 School Impact Fees
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
Title 19 (Impact Fees) of the Auburn City Code contains standards and regulations pertaining to
the collection of impact fees in the City of Auburn. Impact fees are authorized by state law.
Specifically, Chapter 19.02 (School Impact Fees) addresses the establishment, calculation,
collection and amendment of school impact fees within the municipal boundaries of the City of
Auburn. The city originally established school impact fees in 1998 by Ordinance No. 5078.
Portions of four school districts occur within the City limits.
Pursuant to Code Section 19.02.060 (Annual Council Review) of the Auburn City Code, on at
least an annual basis, the Auburn City Council shall review the information submitted by the
Districts pursuant to ACC 19.02.050. The review shall be in conjunction with any update of the
capital facilities plan element of the city's comprehensive plan. The City Council may also at this
time determine if an adjustment to the amount of the impact fees is necessary.
The City of Auburn Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment process for 2018 included
requests for City approval of the Capital Facilities Plans of the four districts as follows:
* 2019 - 2025 Auburn School District Capital Facilities Plan;
* 2020 - 2025 Dieringer School District Capital Facilities Plan;
* 2020 Federal Way School District Capital Facilities Plan; and
* 2018 - 2019 through 2024 - 2025 Kent School District Capital Facilities Plan.
These requests were submitted in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.02.050
(Submission of District Capital Facilities Plan and Data) of the Auburn City Code.
The School Districts’ Capital Facilities Plans are contained in the working notebooks (three-ring
binders) for the 2019 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments, distributed to the City Council
prior to the November 25, 2019 study session.
Definition
Page 60 of 275
The city’s code section 19.02 contains the city’s regulations governing school impact fees. It
provides the following definition:
"Impact fee" means a payment of money imposed upon development as a condition of
development approval to pay for school facilities needed to serve new growth and
development that is reasonably related to the new development that creates additional
demand and need for public facilities, that is a proportionate share of the cost of the school
facilities, and that is used for such facilities that reasonably benefit the new development.
Related Authority
Other key points of the city’s regulations include:
RCW 82.02.050 - .110 and WAC 365-196-850 authorize cities (towns & counties) planning
under the Growth Management Act (GMA) to impose impact fees.
The impact fee shall be based on a capital facilities plan adopted by the school district and
incorporated by reference by the city as part of the capital facilities element of the city's
comprehensive plan, adopted pursuant to Chapter 36.70A RCW, for the purpose of
establishing the fee program.
Separate fees shall be calculated for single-family and multifamily types of dwelling units,
and separate student generation rates must be determined by the district for each type of
dwelling unit.
The fee shall be calculated on a district-wide basis using the appropriate factors and data
supplied by the district. The fee calculations shall also be made on a district-wide basis to
assure maximum utilization of all available school facilities in the district which meet district
standards.
As a condition of the city's authorization and adoption of a school impact fee ordinance,
the city and the applicable district shall enter into an interlocal agreement governing the
operation of the school impact fee program, and describing the relationship and liabilities
of the parties. The agreement must provide that the district shall hold the city harmless
for all damages.
On an annual basis (by July 1st or on a date agreed to by district and the city and stipulated
in the interlocal agreement), any district for which the city is collecting impact fees shall
submit the Capital facilities plan and supporting information to the city.
Applicants for single-family and multifamily residential building permits shall pay the total
amount of the impact fees assessed before the building permit is issued, using the impact
fee schedules in effect, unless the fee has been deferred pursuant to City Ordinance No.
6341.
The impact fee calculation shall be based upon the formula set forth in ACC 19.02.110,
“Impact fee formula”. The formula is the city's determination of the appropriate
proportionate share of the costs of public school capital facilities needed to serve new
growth and development to be funded by school impact fees based on the factors defined
in ACC 19.02.020. Based on this formula, the “Fee Obligation” is the “Total Unfunded
Need” x 50% = Fee Calculation.
Page 61 of 275
The Capital Facilities Plans that were approved by each of the school boards contain proposed
school impact fees for each of the Districts. The requests for adjustment of the school impact
fees are required to be submitted concurrent with the submittal of the Capital Facilities Plans.
Under City regulations a separate letter request is only required to be submitted to the city when
the fee adjustment is requesting an increase.
Council Review and Decision
The establishment of the actual fee amount occurs through separate Council action amending
Chapter 19.02 of the Auburn City Code. Section 19.02.060, (Annual Council Review) specifies
the following:
“On at least an annual basis, the city council shall review the information submitted by the
district pursuant to ACC 19.02.050. The review shall be in conjunction with any update of
the capital facilities plan element of the city's comprehensive plan. The city council may
also at this time determine if an adjustment to the amount of the impact fees is necessary;
provided, that any school impact fee adjustment that would increase the school impact fee
shall require the submittal of a written request for the adjustment by the applicable school
district concurrent with the submittal of the annual capital facilities plan pursuant to ACC
19.02.050. In making its decision to adjust impact fees, the city council will take into
consideration the quality and completeness of the information provided in the applicable
school district capital facilities plan and may decide to enact a fee less than the amount
supported by the capital facilities plan.”
This Section provides the Auburn City Council is not obligated to accept the fees proposed by the
School Districts within their submitted Capital Facilities Plans and may establish fees that the
Council determines are more appropriate and consistent with the public’s interest in reasonably
mitigating school impacts within the affected portion of the City.
Recommendation (Contained in draft Ordinance No. 6745)
Auburn School District:
The Auburn School District indicated by letter submitted with their Capital Facilities Plan, that
they are requesting an increase in school impact fees for the year 2019. The year 2019 fees for
single-family dwellings is proposed to be $6,905.31, an increase of $1,189.63 and the requested
fee for multiple-family dwellings is $14,667.45, an increase of $10,179.02. Subsequent
discussions amongst city leadership and school district leadership has led to a recommended
tiered distribution of multifamily residential school impact fees as follows:
Studio $4,667.45
1 Bedroom $6,667.45
2 Bedroom $9,667.45
3 Bedroom $12,667.45
4+ Bedroom $14,667.45
Dieringer School District:
The Dieringer School District is requesting an increase for year 2020. The year 2020 fees for
single-family dwellings is proposed to be $7,729.00, an increase of $4,513.00 and the requested
fee for multiple family dwellings is $3,514.00; an increase of $3,064.00.
Page 62 of 275
Historically, the City has established fee rates for the Dieringer School district that is the same
as the fee implemented in Pierce County’s fee since it is more appropriate and consistent with
the public’s interest in reasonably mitigating school impacts within the affected portion of the
City. Both, the school district fee calculations exceed the maximum fee obligation obligations
established by Pierce County Ordinance by No. 2019-92s for final consideration at the
November 18, 2019 regular council hearing; to be effective February 1, 2020. An adjustment
by the City of Auburn is necessary for the fee to be consistent with Pierce County. The proposed
ordinance identifies a maximum impact fee obligation for single family dwelling units of $3,815,
and for multi-family dwelling units of $2,025. The Dieringer School District is the only school
district common to both the jurisdictions of the City of Auburn and Pierce County.
Federal Way School District:
The Federal Way School District indicated by letter submitted with their Capital Facilities Plan
that they are requesting an increase in school impact fees for year 2020. The year 2020 fees
for single-family dwellings is proposed to be $5,035.00, representing a decrease of $2,186.00
and the requested fee for multi-family dwellings is $20,768.00, an increase of $1,314.00.
Kent School District
The Kent School District indicated by letter submitted with their Capital Facilities Plan that they
are requesting a 2.9 percent increase in school impact fees for year 2020. The year 2020 fees
for single-family dwellings is proposed to be $5,554.00, representing an increase of $157.00
and the requested fee for multi-family dwellings is $2,345.00, an increase of $66.00.

the Pierce County Code, "School Impact Fee Schedule," to 11
Adjust School Impact Fees for 2020 Based Upon Changes in 12
the Construction Cost Index; and Setting an Effective Date. 13
14
Whereas, school impact fees in Pierce County are calculated according to the 15
formulas in Section 4A.30.020 of the Pierce County Code (PCC), then the fee is 16
"capped" by a "Maximum Fee Obligation" (MFO) which changes annually based upon 17
changes in the Construction Cost Index (20-City Average) published by the Engineering 18
News Record; and 19
20
Whereas, the annual adjustment must be adopted by Ordinance following the 21
adoption of the Capital Facilities Plan and any review of impact fees; and 22
23
Whereas, it has been the practice of the Pierce County Council (Council) to only 24
adjust impact fees in increments of five dollars, rounding up to the nearest five -dollar 25
increment; and 26
27
Whereas, school impact fees are collected for residential development in the 28
unincorporated County for school districts that meet the requirements in Title 4A PCC; 29
and 30
31
Whereas, pursuant to PCC 4A.30.020, the Construction Cost Index for February 32
2017 is the base value from which changes are calculated; and 33
34
Whereas, the Construction Cost Index for February 2017 was calculated to be 35
10,559; for October 2019 it is 11,326 which is an increase of 7.26 percent; and 36
37
Whereas, the MFO for school districts effective February 1, 2019 , and adopted in 38
Ordinance No. 2018-88s is $3,770 for single-family dwelling units, and $2,000 for each 39
multi-family dwelling unit; and 40
41
Whereas, after adjusting for changes to the Construction Cost Index through 42
October 2019 and rounding up to the nearest five-dollar increment, the adjusted school 43
MFOs are $3,815 for single-family dwelling units and $2,025 for multi-family dwelling 44
units, an increase of $45 and $25, respectively from the 2019 rates; and 45

Administrative Recommendation: Planning Commission to conduct public hearing and
recommend to City Council approval of the 2019 City-Initiated Comprehensive Plan
Amendments (Policy/Text & Map Amendments).
Background Summary: The City of Auburn adopted amendments to its Comprehensive Plan
in 1995 in response to the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requirements, as
amended. Since then the Auburn Comprehensive Plan has been amended annually. At the
end of 2015, the City adopted a substantially updated Comprehensive Plan in compliance with
state-required periodic updates.
Annual Comprehensive plan amendments can be initiated by the City of Auburn (city-initiated)
and by private parties (private-initiated).
This year the city is initiating:
• Seven policy/text amendments
• Two map amendments
Also, the city received one (1) private-initiated plan map amendment by the submittal deadline
which will be presented in separate staff reports for the hearing.
This staff report and recommendation addresses the City initiated amendments and specifically:
• Policy/Text (P/T) Amendments P/T # 1 through # 7 and
• Map (CPM) Amendments # 1 and # 2.
The remaining two private applications for amendments will be addressed in separately
provided staff reports for the Planning Commission.
In terms of process, the Comprehensive plan amendments are initially reviewed during a public
hearing process before the City of Auburn Planning Commission, who then provides a
recommendation to the City Council for final action. City Council consideration and action on
the amendments generally occurs but is not required prior to the end of the year.

No comments have been received from the Washington State Department of Commerce or
other state agencies as of the writing of this report. A copy of the transmittal and

amendments, the optional process for holding a public open house as provided for in the
city code, was not conducted.
10. The notice of public hearing was published on September 23, 2019 in the Seattle Times
Newspaper and on the city website which is at least 10 days prior to the Planning
Commission public hearing scheduled for October 8, 2018. A copy of the request to publish

radius of 300 feet was not conducted.

Incorporate the City of Auburn’s 6-year Capital Facilities Plan 2020-2025, into the City’s
Comprehensive Plan. The CFP is provided in the working binder behind the “Comp. Plan
Policy/Text Amendments” tab.
Discussion
A Capital Facilities Plan is one of the comprehensive plan elements required by the
Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) (RCW 36.70A). The GMA requires that
a capital facilities plan include an inventory of existing capital facilities (showing locations
and capacities), a forecast of future needs for such capital facilities, proposed locations and
capacities of new or expanded capital facilities, and a minimum of a six-year plan to finance
capital facilities with identified sources of funding. The proposed City of Auburn 6-year
Capital Facilities Plan 2020-2025 satisfies the GMA requirements for a capital facilities
element as part of the Comprehensive Plan.
Each comprehensive plan prepared under the GMA must include a capital facilities plan
element. More specifically, RCW 36.70A.070(3) of the GMA requires the following:
“A capital facilities plan element consisting of:
(a) An inventory of existing capital facilities owned by public entities, showing
the locations and capacities of the capital facilities;
(b) a forecast of the future needs of such capital facilities;
(c) the proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new capital
facilities;
(d) at least a six-year plan that will finance such capital facilities within
projected funding capacities and clearly identifies sources of public money for
such purposes; and
(e) a requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls
short of meeting existing needs and to ensure that the land use element,
capital facilities plan element, and financing plan within the capital facilities
plan element are coordinated and consistent. Park and recreation facilities
shall be included in the capital facilities plan element.”
A capital facility is defined as a structure, street or utility system improvement, or other long-
lasting major asset, including land. Capital facilities are provided for public purposes.
Capital facilities include, but are not limited to, the following: streets, roads, highways,
sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic signals, domestic water systems, storm
and sanitary sewer systems, parks and recreation facilities, and police and fire protection
facilities. These capital facilities include necessary ancillary and support facilities.
The City of Auburn 6-year Capital Facilities Plan 2020-2025 is proposed to be incorporated
by reference in the Comprehensive Plan, Capital Facilities Element (Volume No. 3).

Recommendation
Planning Commission to recommend approval of the City of Auburn’s 6-year Capital
Facilities Plan 2002-2025 to the City Council.
P/T #6
Amend text of Volume 5, Transportation Element of Comprehensive Plan. The changes are
shown in strike through and underline in the working binder behind the “Comp. Plan
Policy/Text Amendments” tab.
Discussion
• Since the last major comprehensive plan update in 2015, the City of Auburn has
completed multiple projects related to active mobility, traffic safety, and
transportation network maintenance. This proposed text amendment will update
dates, projects completed in the previous four years, and funding sources for
programs that have been changed since 2015.
• Equestrian facilities have been identified as a recreational use, and planning for
such facilities will be transferred from Public Works to Parks, Recreation, and
Open Space.
Key Changes/Points:
As part of the 2019 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments, the city seeks to change the
Comprehensive Plan to update the Transportation Element. The main changes to the
Comprehensive Plan document include:
• Incorporate new language required by state and federal law;
• Update the current transit service information;
• Incorporate recent private development;
• Update to include capital projects completed since 2015;
• Update TIP information/project list;
• Update maps as needed to reflect current data and conditions;
• Remove the policies/goals related to provision of equestrian facilities; and
• Additional minor changes related to grammar, punctuation, word choice, etc.
Recommendation
Planning Commission to recommend approval of policy text amendments to Volume 5,
Transportation Element of Comprehensive Plan.
P/T #7
Modify text in Volume 1, “Land Use Element,” item number LU-133, to change the title of the
“M St SE” boundary from M St E to M St SE/NE. The same change is being made as a map
amendment to Map 1.3 “Designated Areas.” The changes are shown in strike through and
underline in the working binder behind the “Comp. Plan Policy/Text Amendments” tab.
Discussion
The Land Use Element (Volume No. 1) of the Comprehensive Plan at Page LU-133
discusses “Designated Areas.” The boundary of the designated boundary along M Street
traverses Main Street, meaning the boundary of the designated area exists along both M
Page 86 of 275
Staff Member: Gouk
Date: September 10, 2019
Page 9 of 10
Street SE and M Street NE. The proposed text change reflects this distinction. This can
be identified as a minor text change.
Recommendation
Planning Commission to recommend approval of policy text amendments to Volume 1,
“Land Use Element” to update the text related to the “Designated Area” bounded by M St SE
to read “M St SE/NE.”
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments (File No. CPA18-0002, City initiated map
changes)
CPM #1
Change the Comprehensive Plan Map, "Designated Areas, and Map #1.3" to change the
text of the boundary identified as “M St SE” to “M St SE/NE” to reference both directional
locations of the boundary. This is consistent and in conjunction with P/T #7. The changes
are shown in the working binder behind the “Comp. Plan Map Amendments” tab.
Discussion
(This is the same topic as text amendment P/T #7, but is repeated as a map
amendment since it requires revision to both the text and map of the comprehensive
plan document. See discussion and analysis under text amendment P/T #7.)
Recommendation
Planning Commission to recommend approval of a map amendment to change the
Comprehensive Plan Map, "Designated Areas Map #1.3" to change the text of the boundary
identified as “M St SE” to “M St SE/NE” to reference both directional locations of the
boundary.
CPM #2
Within the city’s comprehensive plan, Land Use Element, Map No. 1.1, change the
designation of Parcel No. 2721059012 from split zoned to a single, consistent zoning and
land use designation, to “I,” Industrial. The changes are shown in the working binder behind
the “Comp. Plan Map Amendments” tab.
Discussion
Approval for the construction of a communications tower was authorized by
administrative decision on December 5, 2018, subjecting the parcel to the requirements
of the majority segment's zoning, I, Institutional. A corresponding Zoning Code Text
Amendment (ZOA18-0001) (Ord No. 6716) amended the ACC to address the use of
emergency communications devices as a land use.
The proposed action changes the land use designation of the western portion of Parcel
No. 2721059012 from “Single Family” to Institutional,” and the zoning from "R-5,
Residential" to "I, Institutional" to reflect the zoning and land use of the larger portion of
the parcel. The re-zone has been assigned case number REZ19-0003. This action
serves to reflect on the city’s land use and zoning maps the approved use of a
communcations device.

Center, Auburn, WA 98001.
Proposal and Location: Adopt amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan consisting of the following
Text (P/T) and Map (CPM) Amendments and amendments to zoning map (rezone) to implement:
Comprehensive Plan Text Amendments
P/T #5 – City of Auburn 2020-2025 Capital Facilities Plan
P/T #6 – Change Volume 5, Transportation Element (incorporated by reference). The changes to the
Transportation Element are focused on the following subject areas:
• Incorporate new language required by state and federal law;
• Update the current transit service information;
• Incorporate recent private development;
• Update to include capital projects completed since 2015;
• Update TIP information/project list;
• Update maps as needed to reflect current data and conditions;
• Remove the policies/goals related to provision of equestrian facilities; and
• Additional minor changes will relate to grammar, punctuation, word choice, etc
P/T #7 – Change the title of the “M St SE” boundary from M St SE to M St SE/NE on Map 1.3 “Designated
Areas” of the Land Use Element. The list of economic development strategy areas and LU-133 require
updating to reflect the same. The minor text change includes M St SE to M St SE/NE (see image under Map
Amendments CMP #1).
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments
CPM #1 - City-initiated request Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map No. 1.3 in Vol. 1, Land Use Element to
reflect a minor change to label the title of the M St SE boundary to M St SE/NE. This is consistent and in
conjunction with P/T #7.
CMP #2 – City-initiated request Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map No. 1.1 in Vol. 1, Land Use Element 1
to change Parcel No. 272105-9012. This parcel is divided by two public roadways and features a split land
use designation between “Institutional” and “Single Family.” The majority (eastern portion) of the parcel is
designated as “Institutional.” Similarly, the parcel is split-zoned between “I, Institutional” and “R-5,
Residential” with the majority of the parcel zoned “I, Institutional.” As part of the annual amendment cycle,
the city would like to change the land use designation and the zoning of the portion of the parcel designated
“Single Family” (western portion) and zoned R-5, to being designated and zoned Institutional.

Administrativ e Recommendation:
For discussion only.
Background Summary:
Over the last 10 years City Council has made it a practice to remove fees from city code in
favor of placing them in the City’s master fee schedule that is updated on an annual basis. If
adopted, Ordinance 6749 has the effect of removing specific fees from city code and placing
them in the master fee schedule that is adopted through Resolution. Placing fees in a master
fee schedule that is adopted by resolution accomplishes two primary objectives:
1. Places all city fees in a central location. This allows customers to find fees in a single
document rather than having them spread through the city code.
2. Enables a more efficient process for considering annual fee updates that can be acted
upon through resolution instead of an ordinance change. Ordinance changes require
more administrative effort than resolution updates.

Background Summary:
The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that all public facilities are readily
accessible and usable by persons with disabilities and has a requirement that Agencies adopt
a plan for how they plan to manage the transition of facilities that are not compliant into
compliant status. Therefore, the Public Works Department has drafted an ADA Transition
Plan for Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way. This plan is currently posted on the City's
website for public review and comment. The draft plan documents the policies, standards,
and general processes that support reaching full compliance with ADA requirements for
facilities in the public right-of-way. The Plan includes the following elements that will be
presented and discussed:

Part 1: Overview and Background
Overview and Purpose
An accessible community enables all people, inclusive of those with disabilities to reach their
destinations in the community, gain access to goods, services, and social activities that are
needed on a daily basis to improve quality of life.
The City of Auburn is committed to creating and maintaining infrastructure that provides
accessibility to programs, services and activities as part of the ADA Title II requirement. Based
on 2017 U.S. Census data, approximately 11.2 % of Auburn residents have a disability (U.S.
Census Bureau American FactFinder, 2017). Developing a Transition Plan for the public right-
of-way is a considerable undertaking and requires dedicated staff, development of policies,
detailed evaluation of assets, and an actionable plan to facilitate meeting the goal of a barrier free
pedestrian facilities to comply with Title II.
American with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 made it illegal for any entity receiving federal
financial assistance to discriminate on the basis of disability. Section 504 obligates both state
and local governments to ensure equal access to programs, services or activities that are federally
funded.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed by President George W. Bush in
January1990 and prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The ADA defined
disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life
activities of an individual, a record of an impairment or being regarded as having an impairment
(ADA.gov, 2016).
The Act prohibits discrimination in employment, state and local government, public
accommodations, transportation and telecommunications. The ADA was assembled upon the
groundwork of Section 504 but goes further to require state and local government not receiving
federal funding to also meet accessibility standards. The ADA has five titles. Title II of the Act
specifically addresses nondiscrimination in all programs, activities and services of public entities
to include state and local government (ADA National Network, 2016).
ADA went into effect on January 26, 1992. ADA requires that all facilities constructed after this
date are readily accessible and usable by persons with disabilities. Facilities built before this date
are referred to as “pre-ADA” facilities. Alteration of pre-ADA facilities generally requires the
facilities to be updated to meet ADA requirements. Details of what types of activities and work
on facilities in the public right-of-way are considered alterations and therefore trigger the
requirement to upgrade the facilities to meet ADA requirements are included in this ADA
transition plan.
Page 114 of 275
10/01/2019 Page 4
ADA Transition Plan
Title II requires public agencies with over 50 employees to prepare an ADA Transition Plan. The
ultimate goal of the Transition Plan is to identify facilities, programs and services that do not
meet Title II of ADA and develop a plan to conform with ADA. The ADA Transition Plan
consists of a self-evaluation effort which identifies agency facilities, programs or activities that
limit the accessibility to individuals with disabilities. Accessibility means facilities, programs
and services that are usable by individuals with disabilities. Once self-evaluation is underway,
the Transition Plan can be developed and updated to include detailed methods to remove
identified barriers to access and provide a target schedule for taking the necessary steps to
comply with Title II. A typical ADA Transition Plan includes the designation of an ADA
coordinator; information about public notice; a grievance procedure; development of internal
design standards and specifications; development of the plan with a schedule and budget; and
finally, a step to monitor the process outlined in the plan.
City of Auburn Transition Plan Approach
This specific Transition Plan exclusively addresses facilities within the public right of way
(ROW) of the City of Auburn and is a portion of the City’s overall Transition Plan. A plan to
address all City facilities, programs, and services outside of the public right-of-way will be
completed separately.
The City of Auburn’s ADA Transition Plan for facilities within the public right-of-way includes
the following elements:
Overview and background
Self Evaluation
Policies and Procedures
The ADA Transition Plan will be updated periodically to reflect regulatory and policy changes.
Updates to the Self Evaluation will be provided through an annual publication of updated
transition plan metrics or statistics.
Opportunity for Public Notice & Involvement
The ADA Transition Plan was originally developed with input from a variety of different
sources. The public comment period for the original plan development was from October 1, 2019
to December 31, 2019. During this time, the City posted a draft version of the initial plan on the
City’s website for review and comment: www.auburnwa.gov/ADAtransition
A request for public comments was advertised for two weeks in the Seattle Times (the City’s
newspaper of record). The City presented and discussed the draft plan to the City’s
Transportation Advisory Board (TAB), which is a citizen advisory board comprised of members
representing various interests. The draft plan was also presented and discussed with the City
Council during a Council study session.
Page 115 of 275
10/01/2019 Page 5
Additionally, the City has, or will, be reaching out to the following community groups for input
and suggestions.
Groups and Organizations
Disabled American Veterans
Auburn Senior Center
Auburn Transportation Advisory Board
Hearing Loss Association of Washington (Renton Chapter)
Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce
Auburn School District
King County Health Department
MultiCare Health Systems
Auburn Youth Resources
Orion Industries
Lighthouse for the Blind
DeafBlind Service Center
The City will continue to receive comments regarding ADA issues and the City’s ADA
Transition Plan after the public comment period for the initial plan. These comments may be
made through the City’s webpage or through direct communications with City staff. Periodic
updates to the plan would reflect any changes resulting from the additional and on-going public
comments.

Part :2 Self-Evaluation
The City’s self-evaluation focuses on the following facilities to gauge overall ADA compliance
in the public right-of-way:
Curb Ramps
Signalized and Enhanced Pedestrian Crossings
Sidewalks (including driveways)
Other facilities such as railroad crossings, medians and parking are also observed and evaluated
but are not specifically inventoried.
Geographic Information System (GIS) is utilized to spatially track and analyze the findings
gathered from the City wide self-evaluation.
Curb Ramps
The following key indicators are utilized to determine if a curb ramp is ADA compliant:
Ramp Slope
Landing
Detectable Surface
Counter Slope
Orientation
In 2016, the City compiled an inventory of its existing curb ramps using field surveys and GIS.
The inventory collected data needed to determine whether or not an existing curb ramp was
ADA compliant. The inventory also identified locations where missing curb ramps created an
accessibility obstruction. The inventory revealed the following key statistics that will be
compared to future years as a metric of progression towards full ADA compliance:
Page 117 of 275
10/01/2019 Page 7
Signalized and Enhanced Pedestrian Crossings
The three types of signalized and enhanced pedestrian crossings owned and maintained by the
City are listed below, along with the number of each type within the City’s responsibility:
Full traffic signal with pedestrian facilities incorporated 85
Pedestrian only traffic signals 6
Mid-block crosswalks and crosswalks at un-controlled intersections with enhanced
treatment (Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon – RRFB, or other treatment) 13
The City’s signalized and enhanced pedestrian facilities are included in its asset management
system, which allows the City to track the following key indicators utilized to determine if a
signal or enhanced crossing is ADA compliant:
Pedestrian Signal Head (not applicable to RRFB crossings)
Pedestrian Push Button Function
Crossing Time (Tracked with our Signal System)
The City plans on field surveying all pushbutton locations and reach distances in the future.
Sidewalks
The information currently within the City’s GIS system does not include data required to
determine if sidewalks are ADA compliant. Field observations and surveys are performed on a
site by site basis as needed to determine details related to ADA compliance. These details
include:
Condition
Running Slope
Cross Slope
Width
Encroachments or Obstructions
Significant resources, beyond those currently available to the City, would be needed to develop
and maintain a Citywide inventory that includes the details listed above. However, City staff is
currently evaluating how the City’s GIS sidewalk information can be expanded to allow all, or
some, of the ADA related data to be entered and managed as it is collected for specific sites.

Part 3: ADA Policy
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Transportation Plan (Comp Plan) is the framework for transportation
planning in Auburn. It functions as the overarching guide for changes to the transportation
system. The Plan evaluates the existing system and the deficiencies where improvements are
needed. These findings are then incorporated into a needs assessment, which guides the future of
the transportation system. Chapter 5 of the Comp Plan establishes transportation objectives and
associated policies. It establishes “Complete Streets” as an objective: Ensure Auburn’s
transportation system is designed to enable comprehensive, integrated, safe access for users of all
ages and abilities including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, transit riders and operators, and
truck operators. The Comp Plan states the following policy associated with the objective: Ensure
the transportation system meets the requirements outlined in the Americans with Disabilities Act.
This policy sets the foundation for implementing the ADA Transition Plan in the City.
City Code & Engineering Standards
Auburn City Code (ACC) Section 12.04.020 requires that all public work undertaken by the City
and all work within City public rights-of-way conform to the City’s Engineering Design and
Construction Standards (Engineering Standards). ACC Section 12.04.010 establishes the City
Engineer as the authority to approve, supplement and amend the Engineering Standards in
consultation with the City Council on policy issues and for issues with broad citywide
implications.
Engineering Standards include ADA related policy, requirements, and specific standards for
facilities within the City rights-of-way. The Engineering Standards are generally based on the
Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right of Way
(PROWAG DRAFT 2011) and also reference and adopt applicable portions of the current
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), WSDOT Design Manual, and WSDOT
Standard Plans.
The Engineering Standards include the following key ADA related policies that have been
established in consultation with the City Council:
Establishment that: “All streets shall be designed and constructed to comply with
Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) laws”
Criteria for utility trenching and roadway restoration work that triggers ADA
upgrades and improvements to curbs without ramps, existing curb ramps, and
traffic signal pedestrian push buttons
The Engineering Standards include and address the following specific design requirements
related to ADA compliance:
Sidewalk, driveway, curb ramp design criteria
Crosswalk design requirements
Page 119 of 275
10/01/2019 Page 9
Pedestrian signal design requirements
Construction work zone requirements
Development Half-Street Policy
Requiring developers to participate in the replacement and expansion of facilities in the public
rights-of-way supports the City’s overall ADA Transition Plan. ACC Section 12.64A establishes
the types of development activity that require the developer to construct public improvements.
The extents of the required public improvements consist of motorized and non-motorized
facilities along the development frontage and are referred to as “Half-Street Improvements.”
Half-Street Improvements typically include the construction of new ADA compliant sidewalks,
ramps, and driveways and replacing any existing facilities along the frontage that are not ADA
compliant.
Pavement Maintenance Policy
With this ADA Transition Plan, the City adopts the policy established in Chapter 1510.05(2) of
the WSDOT Design Manual that establishes which types of pavement maintenance activities
trigger ADA improvements as part of the project. Per this policy, the following pavement
maintenance activities do not trigger ADA improvements:
Crack sealing
Slurry seal
Spot pavement repairs (pothole repair)
Lane re-striping (does not alter shoulder usability)
All other pavement maintenance and replacement, including patching and grind/overlaying may
require upgrade and/or installation of pedestrian ADA facilities subject to the criteria established
in the Engineering Standards and in this Plan.
Sidewalks and Roadway Projects Policy
With this ADA Transition Plan, the City adopts a policy that roadway and utility work on
existing roadways without sidewalks do not trigger the requirement to construct new sidewalks
where they don’t already exist. This policy does not preclude projects that include roadway or
utility work from triggering the requirement for new sidewalks construction via other
mechanisms, an example being Half-Street Improvements that include sidewalk construction that
are triggered by certain development activity as defined in ACC 12.64A.
Existing Traffic Signals and Enhanced Crossings Policy
With this ADA Transition Plan, the City adopts policy for existing signalized and enhanced
pedestrian crossings as follows:
If no curb ramp or electrical work is being performed at a signalized intersections or
enhanced crossing location, no work is required for the signal or enhanced crossing
pushbuttons as part of the project.
Page 120 of 275
10/01/2019 Page 10
If a project modifies or expands any portion of the electrical systems of a signalized
intersection or enhanced crossing, it must also make all pedestrian pushbutton functions
(but not locations) and pedestrian signal heads (as applicable) accessible.
If a project constructs, modifies, removes/replaces any portion of any curb ramp at a
signalized intersection or enhanced crossing, the project must make the pedestrian
pushbutton location accessible for that ramp and make the pedestrian pushbutton function
accessible for the entire signal or enhanced crossing.
Part 4: Procedures
Project Development and Execution
The City of Auburn is improving access to pedestrian facilities by implementing ADA
requirements related to capital projects, private development projects, and third party utility
projects that impact the public ROW. The City of Auburn uses its adopted Engineering Design
and Construction Standard Manuals. In addition, the MUTCD, WSDOT Design Manual and
WSDOT Standard Plans are utilized to ensure all new construction and alterations are designed
and constructed to meet current ADA requirements. An alteration typically means a change to a
facility within the public ROW that affects or could affect access.
All ADA requirements must be applied to the maximum extent feasible. This means efforts
should be made to comply with ADA as is reasonably possible. The Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) recognizes there are times where it is virtually impossible to comply fully
with the standards.
Below are the types of projects that are required to comply with the ADA:
1. Capital Improvement Projects:
a. Street preservation (grind and overlay, patching, etc.)
b. Street reconstruction
c. Intersection improvement projects
d. Sidewalk improvement projects
e. Utility repair, replacement, and improvement projects
2. Private Development Projects:
a. Half street improvements including sidewalks, curb ramps and street
improvements per Auburn City Code 12.64A
b. Plat developments that require construction of street and compliant sidewalk
infrastructure
3. Franchise Utility and other 3rd Party Work in the ROW:
a. Installation of new utilities that impact the pedestrian corridor
b. Repair and/or replacement if existing utilities that impact the pedestrian corridor
c. Relocation of utilities to accommodate other facilities in the ROW that impact the
pedestrian corridor.
Page 121 of 275
10/01/2019 Page 11
City inspection staff monitors installation of all improvements within City ROW to ensure ADA
requirements are met. If ADA requirements are not met, the contractor or developer will be
required to repair/replace infrastructure at their expense.
Interim Accommodations
The City of Auburn interim accommodations may be necessary in the public right-of-way. The
City will work to accommodate specific requests as feasible.
Residential Disabled On-Street Parking
When applicable, a signed disabled parking space can be requested through the City of Auburn.
The City will evaluate the request and make a determination for each situation. This process
only intends to shorten the travel distance for residential access. This does not mean other access
provisions such as installing or repairing curb ramps, driveways, or sidewalks will be completed
at the same time as the designated ADA parking space.
The disabled on-street parking request requires the resident to fill out an application, provide
their valid state disabled parking permit number, and justification as to why there is no viable
accessible off-street parking. This parking designation is still subject to city codes and
ordinances. The disabled parking space does not permit a vehicle to be parked in any street in
the city for more than 72 hours consecutively and can be utilized by any user with a valid
disabled parking permit. The resident is responsible for notifying the City when the space is no
longer needed. The City, once notified, will remove the space and associated signage.
Citizen Requests
Reporting repairs or maintenance needed for ADA compliance is important and can be
completed using www.auburnwa.gov/reporting or the SeeClickFix app. City Staff has the ability
to respond to sidewalk and signal issues. If the issue is beyond the local capability to perform a
complete repair, it will be addressed with a temporary fix if possible and/or prioritized for
correction by a service or construction contract. In many cases, sidewalk issues can be
temporarily addressed by grinding down a portion of the concrete panel or by adding asphalt to
smooth the transition. Signal technicians are able to address pedestrian systems where they are
installed.

10/01/2019 Page 12
Project Development and Prioritization
The City of Auburn encompasses nearly 30 square miles of land that has been developed over
the last century under differing ADA requirements or, for much of the City, prior to ADA
requirements being in place. It follows that the broad scope and cost to achieve the goals of the
ADA Transition Plan are enormous and require a strategic approach. The City’s approach
towards planning, funding, and completing projects that help implement the ADA Transition
Plan relies heavily on prioritization. As funding is made available to the City to complete capital
projects to address ADA issues, projects are identified and selected based on the following
prioritization schedule:
ADA Issue Type (listed from highest to lowest priority):
1) Obstruction - Damaged or lifted sidewalk with lip greater than ½-inch.
2) Obstruction - No curb ramp present at transition from raised sidewalk to roadway
crossing.
3) Obstruction – Extreme cross slope of sidewalk or curb ramp
4) Obstruction – Sidewalk path encroachment that reduces the pathway below the minimum
width allowed (street tree, hydrant, sign)
5) Non-compliant pedestrian signal head
6) Non-compliant pedestrian push-button function
7) Non-compliant push button location
8) Non-compliant curb ramp
9) Non ADA compliant sidewalk (cross-slope) that is not an obstruction (not extreme cross
slope)
10) Discontinuous pedestrian path between established pedestrian infrastructure
Priority by Location (listed from highest to lowest priority):
1) Location for which a complaint has been received that path of use is obstructed due to
ADA issues
2) Downtown Urban Center Zone
3) School walking routes
4) Walking routes to transit stops and facilities
5) Walking routes to parks, hospital/medical facilities, pharmacies, low-income services
6) Walking routes to commercial centers
7) Roadway corridors with high levels of pedestrian traffic
8) Roadway corridor with medium to low levels of pedestrian traffic
Current standards require the developer of residential neighborhoods and lots to construct
sidewalks and curbs (and therefore curb ramps) as part of its project. Many residential
neighborhoods in Auburn were constructed prior to this standard being in place and do not have
sidewalks and curbs. Unless they fall into one of the categories listed above, utilizing City funds
to construct sidewalks and curbs (with ramps) in these under developed residential
neighborhoods is not a high priority. Instead, the City suggests neighborhoods without sidewalks
that desire them pursue a Local Improvement District (LID) or other means to finance the
sidewalk projects. In all cases when a specific request or complaint is made for ADA
Page 123 of 275
10/01/2019 Page 13
accommodations in the public rights-of-way, in residential neighborhoods or otherwise, it is
considered to be a high priority.
Funding
Most ADA improvements made in the City’s public rights-of-way are associated with public and
private projects that trigger the ADA requirement as part of some other activity or project. It
follows that the majority of funding spent on ADA improvements is from public and private
funds allocated for other activities or projects. These activities and projects include private and
public utility work, paving and roadway work, construction and expansion of new building
projects, and more.
Funding for projects that specifically address ADA needs within the public rights-of-way is
typically from the City’s Capital Improvement Fund (328). The Arterial Streets Fund (102) also
typically includes funding allocated for ADA improvements on classified streets (arterials and
collectors). Funding levels for these programs are set by the City Council as part of the City’s
Biennial Budget process. Additional funds are sometimes available from grant programs. The
Community Development Grant Program (CDBG) administered by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) has provided funding to construct ADA improvements in low
income areas throughout the City.
The City of Auburn has two programs with dedicated funding for annual pedestrian, sidewalk,
and ADA improvements as part of the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and
Capital Facilities Plan (CFP). The Citywide ADA and Sidewalk Improvement Program funds
citywide accessibility improvements including improving sidewalks, curb ramps, removing
barriers, and completing gaps. The Citywide Pedestrian Accessibility and Safety Program is
designed to address small pedestrian improvement projects at locations throughout the City
based on pedestrian demands, existing deficiencies and citizen requests. These programs have
been funded historically at approximately $200,000 and $100,000 per year respectively. Future
program budgets are determined by the City Council Bi-annually.
Special Challenges
Besides limited funding, other issues make it challenging for the City to improve right-of-way
facilities to meet ADA standards. These challenges include coordination with other agencies, the
physical topography of the City, and pre-ADA development.
The City of Auburn is unique in that it spans across two counties and is bordered by several
different agencies, each with its own jurisdiction over its public rights-of-way (Algona, Pacific,
Federal Way, Kent, King County, Pierce County). Three state routes pass through Auburn with
interchanges, ramps, bridges, and intersections that fall under the jurisdiction of the Washington
State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). Portions of Auburn are lands of the Muckleshoot
Indian Tribe, which has sovereignty over most infrastructure within Trust lands. Additionally,
Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) operates a large rail-yard and rail lines that run north-
south through the City and east-west from the yard to the eastern City limits. Union Pacific
Railway also operates a rail line that runs north-south through the City. Planning and
constructing improvements to address ADA needs within the City sometimes requires
Page 124 of 275
10/01/2019 Page 14
coordination, permitting, and separate funding from some or all of these entities which can
present logistical challenges. It is also difficult to provide facilities at the connection, and
sometimes, overlap locations due to differing standards, timing of available funding, and other
constraints.
The City’s unique topography presents challenges in transitioning to full ADA compliance. The
City’s land area consists of a valley area with the Green River, White River, and Mill Creek
passing through it, the Lea Hill and Lakeland Hills areas along the east side of the valley, and the
West Hill along the west side of the valley. On the hillside areas, it is a challenge to meet slope
requirements for sidewalks and ramps. In the flat valley areas, grading to meet ADA
requirements sometimes results in standing water or other drainage and maintenance issues.
The downtown and surrounding areas of Auburn were mostly developed before ADA
requirements were established. This sometimes results in physical constraints such as buildings,
bridges, walls, and other facilities that make it physically infeasible to construct ADA compliant
sidewalks, ramps and other infrastructure without significantly impacting those existing
facilities.
In cases where special challenges prevent the City from constructing ADA facilities that fully
conform to ADA standards, the City has adopted a Maximum Extents Feasible (MEF) process. If
during the design or construction of a sidewalk, ramp, or other right-of-way infrastructure
physical constraints are present that prevent the infrastructure from being built to meet ADA
standards, the Engineer-in-charge will prepare a MEF Document that summarizes the constraints
and the standard(s) not being met. Constraints that are considered when evaluating an MEF
Document include: physical built features such as buildings, walls, utilities that would be
extremely difficult to relocate, environmental constraints such as critical areas (wetlands,
streams, mountains), and property impacts that would have significant negative impacts to the
property (loss of parking stalls below the minimum required, loss of business functionality), and
other factors that are considered on a case-by-case basis as they arise.
Implementation Schedule
Due to funding constraints continuously changing and re-interpretation of ADA standards, full
compliance of all public facilities within the rights-of-way will likely not be achieved for several
decades, if at all. Instead, the City’s prioritization of specific ADA compliance issues will allow
for those elements to meet standards within reasonable timeframes given the aforementioned
constraints:
Pedestrian Signal Heads: replacement of non-compliant signal heads within 5 years
Pedestrian Push-button functionality: replacement of non-compliant push-buttons to
meet standards within 5 to 15 years
Pedestrian Push-button location: relocation of non-compliant push-buttons with 10 to
25 years
Curb Obstructions: improvements to remove of all obstructions within 10 to 25 years
Curb Ramps: improve or replace all curb ramps to be compliant – timeframe cannot
be estimated at this time.
Page 125 of 275
10/01/2019 Page 15
Sidewalks: Eliminate sidewalk gaps on arterial streets – timeframe cannot be
estimated at this time.
Sidewalks: Eliminate sidewalk gaps on collector streets – timeframe cannot be
estimated at this time.
Monitoring Progress
Additional information will be added as significant portions of the self-evaluation are completed.
This plan is intended to provide a foundation to work toward an accessible public ROW and will
be updated on an ongoing basis to reflect which barriers were removed with a project action or
independent remediation. This is a living document. The text, appendices and requirements will
likely change with each update.
Routine minor updates to this plan will be made on a regular basis as improvements are
completed, new barriers to access are identified or new requests are submitted. GIS and OMS are
the tools utilized by the City to monitor progress of the ADA Transition Plan. The City is
developing an “ADA Transition Dashboard” that will be posted on the City’s website that shows
key metrics indicating the City’s progress towards implementing the goals of the public rights-
of-way transition plan.

Executive Summary
This Executive Summary provides an overview of the City’s overall financial position for the fiscal
period ending September 30, 2019, reflecting financial data available as of October 31, 2019.
General Fund:
Through September 2019, General Fund revenues totaled $50.6 million and were $1.7 million
(3.5%) higher than budget expectations and $3.8 million (8.1%) higher than revenues collected
through the same period last year. The majority of this year-over-year increase is due to two
policy changes: keeping sales taxes on construction revenue in the General Fund versus
transferring it to the Local Street Fund (YTD impact = $1.5M) and reimbursement for support
department labor by other funds (YTD impact = $1.9M).
Some notable variances to budget through September 2019 include:
Property tax collections through Q3-2019 totaled $12.2 million, which was $293,000
(2.5%) higher than budget expectations and exceeded 2018 year-to-date collections by
$594,000 (5.1%). [page 7]
General Fund retail sales tax revenues totaled $13.8 million, which was $148,000, or
1.1% favorable to budget. While General Fund sales tax collections through Q3-2019
were $2.0 million higher than what was collected through Q3-2018, the majority of this
increase is due to a policy change: between 2013 and 2018, sales tax dollars collected
from sales tax on construction benefitted the Local Street Fund and were not distributed
to the General Fund. Effective January 1, 2019, this policy changed and now all sales
tax dollars stay in the General Fund to support ongoing operations. [pages 8-9]
While the 10-year annexation sales tax credit expired in 2018, the City of Auburn
received $373,000 in Q3-2019 which was the result of a finding that the Department of
Revenue had ended the 2018 final payments two months earlier than they should have.
The revenue collected in Q3-2019 was budgeted in 2018. [page 8]
The other taxes category performed favorably to budget in Q 3-2019. Actual revenues
collected through Q3-2019 were $9.8 million, which was $72,000, or 0.7% above
budget. Leasehold excise tax revenues collected through Q3-2019 exceeded budget
by $160,000 due to an unbudgeted leasehold excise tax receipt for the Emerald Downs
property. Gambling tax revenues collected during the same period exceeded budget
by $106,000. These revenues were somewhat offset by unfavorable variances in
telephone tax and natural gas tax revenues in the amount of $159,000 and $82,000,
respectively. [pages 10-12]
Building permit revenue collected through Q3-2019 totaled $627,000 as compared to a
budget of $913,000. 407 building permits issued through Q3-2019, representing a 1.0%
increase over the number of permits issued through Q3-2018; however, the valuation
of those permits also declined by 12.3% during that same period. [page 14]
Other licenses and permit revenues collected year-to-date exceeded budget
expectations by $328,000. A portion of this variance is due to large grading permits
issued for the Huntington Woods housing development, as well as the grading permits
for two elementary schools. In addition, excavation permit revenues collected year-to-
date exceed budget expectations by $233,000. The increased revenue collected is
primarily due to the increase in the fee structure effective this year, where the City is
now closer to achieving full cost recovery on construction permits.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q3-2019 4
Intergovernmental revenues collected through Q3-2019 totaled $4.4 million, which was
$159,000 lower than budget expectations due primarily to revenues collected for
streamlined sales tax revenues ending the period $272,000 unfavorable to budget. This
was somewhat offset by revenues from marijuana excise tax revenues that exceeded
budget expectations by $55,000.
Streamlined sales tax revenues are enhanced by the Marketplace Fairness Act (MFA),
which was passed in 2017 to capture the retail sales tax lost from internet and remote
sales. However, the bill also phases out and eventually eliminates the streamlined sales
tax mitigation payments to local governments. It was anticipated that 2019 would be
the last year that the City of Auburn would receive the streamlined sales tax monies, but
when the 2019 legislative session adjourned (in May 2019), they voted to continue
funding of the mitigation payments through June 2021. While the sales tax revenues
collected under MFA are receipted in as sales tax revenue, it is deducted from the
amount of revenue the City receives for streamlined sales tax revenues. The amount
that the City received for MFA monies through Q3-2019 totaled $453,000. [page 15]
Culture and recreation revenues collected through Q3-2019 totaled $2.2 million
compared to a budget of $2.1 million, exceeding budget expectations by $173,000 and
exceeding collections in the same period last year by $69,000. The primary areas of
increased revenues collected compared to last year were greens fees generated at the
Auburn Golf Course and ticket sales for performances at the Auburn Avenue Theater.
[pages 18-19]
General Fund expenditures through September 2019 totaled $51.9 million compared to a budget
of $57.4 million, representing a 9.5% favorable variance to budget. All departments operated
within their allocated year-to-date budget through Q3-2019. It is important to note that due to the
delayed timing of the payment to Valley Communications for 911 services and to SCORE for
jailing services, a total of $1.4 million in payments were booked in October versus September.
Year-to-date General Fund expenditures ended the period $1.0 million, or 2.0% higher than
expenditures through Q3-2018. This year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased
expenditures for salaries and benefits. This increase reflects increased costs associated with the
Police bargaining agreements that were approved earlier this year, the impacts of the cost of
living adjustments (COLAs), an increase in Council-approved FTEs (Full Time Equivalents), and
increased costs associated with healthcare benefits. While these factors contributed to the year-
over-year increase in expenditures, salaries and benefit expenditures ended the period $2.1
million favorable to budget due to vacancies.
In addition, the year-over-year salary and benefit costs reported in the General Fund in 2019 are
higher than salary and benefit costs in 2018 due not only to the reasons noted above but also due
to a change in the way salary and benefit costs are allocated. Prior to 2019, salary and benefit
costs for support departments (Finance, Human Resources and the Legal Department) were
directly charged to other General Fund departments as well as to other City funds. Effective
January 1, 2019, all salaries and benefit costs for the support departments mentioned above are
now charged 100% to the General Fund. In order to recoup the cost of services, the General
Fund now charges other funds for these services via an interfund charge, with an associated
revenue in the General Fund (for reference, refer to the general government services line item in
the table on page 16 of this report). While this change results in higher salary and benefit costs
within the General Fund, the change is actually cost neutral to the bottom line.

Street Funds:
The City’s three street funds are special revenue funds wherein the revenue sources and
expenditures are legally restricted. These funds are used for street capital construction projects,
local street repair, and arterial street repair and preservation projects. Historically, the majority of
expenditures in all three street funds occur during the second half of the year when weather
conditions are optimal for pavement construction.
Through Q3-2019, Arterial Street Fund revenues totaled $1.5 million as compared to collections
of $2.6 million through Q3-2018, while expenditures totaled $1.6 million as compared to
expenditures of $3.4 million through Q3-2018. These variances are due to the level of activity on
projects in the fund and timing of grant reimbursements and other funding. [pages 25–26]
Local Street Fund revenues of $1.5 million are in line with budget expectations, and compare to
collections of $2.0 million through Q3-2018. This variance is due to a change in funding sources –
last year, the Local Street Fund received revenue from sales tax on construction. Starting in
2019, the fund instead receives a set revenue amount from real estate excise tax (REET 2).
Expenditures through the second quarter were $783,000 as compared with $1.2 million through
Q3-2018. [pages 27–28]
Lastly, Arterial Street Preservation Fund revenues totaled $2.2 million through Q3-2019,
compared to collections of $2.3 million through Q3-2018. Expenditures totaled $2.4 million
versus $2.3 million through Q3-2018. These variances are due to the level of activity on projects
in the fund and timing of grant reimbursements and other funding. [pages 29–30]

Enterprise Funds:
The City’s enterprise funds account for operations with revenues primarily provided from user
fees, charges or contracts for services.
All City utilities transitioned from bimonthly to monthly usage billing starting in January 2019.
The Water Fund ended the third quarter with operating income of $5.2 million, compared to $4.4
million during the same period last year. [page 32]
The Sewer Fund finished Q3-2019 with operating income of $2.2 million versus $1.5 million
through Q3-2018. [page 33]
The Stormwater Fund ended the third quarter with operating income of $2.3 million compared to
$2.0 million through Q2-2018. [page 33]
The Solid Waste Fund finished Q3-2019 with operating income of $299,000 compared to
$485,000 through Q3-2018, a variance caused mainly by increased payments to the City’s
primary solid waste contractor. [pages 33-34]
The Airport Fund finished Q3-2019 with operating income of $331,000 compared to $263,000
through Q3-2018, a variance largely attributable to the purchase and sale of aviation fuel. [page
35]
The Cemetery Fund had operating income of $146,000, compared to $174,000 through Q3-
2018. [page 35]
Internal Service Funds:
Internal service funds provide services to other City departments and include functions such as
Insurance, Worker’s Compensation, Facilities, Innovation & Technology, and Equipment Rental.
No significant variances were reported in these funds during the second quarter. [page 36]

Retail sales tax collections through Q3-2019 totaled $13.8 million, which was $148,000 higher
than budget expectations. W hile sales tax revenues collected in the General Fund through Q3-
2019 were $2.0 million more than collections through Q3-2018, this is primarily due to a policy
change that became effective on January 1, 2019. Between 2013 and 2018, all sales tax dollars
collected from sales tax on construction benefitted the Local Street Fund and were therefore not
distributed to the General Fund; effective January 1, 2019, all sales tax dollars now stay in the
General Fund to support ongoing operations. In June 2019, the City issued a rebate in the
amount of $47,000 in accordance with the Sales Tax Exemption Program, which is a permanent
program that incentivizes construction of new or expanded businesses in specific zoned areas of
the City. This rebate is reflective of the differences in retail sales taxes shown in the table on
page 9 of this report.
Due to the Marketplace Fairness Act (MFA) which became effective on January 1, 2018, retail
sales taxes collected through Q3-2019 included $453,000 from retail sales taxes collected on
internet and remote sales. This is collected as retail sales tax revenue and is deducted from the
amount the City receives for streamlined sales tax revenue (see page 15 for more information).
While the 10-year annexation sales tax credit expired in 2018, the City of Auburn received
$373,000 in Q3-2019 which was the result of a finding that the Department of Revenue had
ended the 2018 final payments two months earlier than they should have. The revenue collected
in Q3-2019 was budgeted in 2018. Pierce County parks sales tax revenue and the criminal
justice sales tax revenue both ended the period favorable to budget by $4,000 and $194,000
respectively. Total sales tax revenues – including retail and other sales taxes – were $15.3
million through Q3-2019 as compared to a year-to-date budget of $16.1 million.

Utility Taxes consist of interfund taxes on City utilities (Water, Sewer, Storm and Solid Waste)
and taxes on external utilities (Electric, Natural Gas, Telephone and Solid Waste). Utility taxes
collected through Q3-2019 totaled $7.4 million and were $241,000, or 3.1%, below budget
expectations.
The majority of this unfavorable variance to budget through Q3-2019 was seen in
telephone tax collections. This revenue source year-to-date has declined 17.8%
compared to collections through the same period last year and overall th e telephone
utility tax revenue has seen a steady decline since 2010.

Licenses and Permits include business licenses, building permits, plumbing, electric and other
licenses and permit fees. Building permit fees and business licenses make up approximately
70% of the annual budgeted revenue in this category.
Business license revenues collected through September 2019 totaled $127,000 as compared to a
budget of $136,000. This shortfall relates to the timing of when business license renewal notices
are paid: a majority of businesses paid their 2019 business licenses in late 2018.

Building permit revenue collected through Q3-2019 totaled $627,000 compared to a budget of
$913,000. Revenues collected through Q3-2019 were 15.1% below collections through Q3-2018,
while the valuation of permits during these same periods declined by 12.3% (after adjusting for
the Auburn Apartments project, for which permits were paid in 2018). The number of building
permits issued through Q3-2019 totaled 407, which represents a 1.0% increase over the number
of permits issued through Q3-2018. Although the number of permits issued increased slightly,
the average valuation of projects thus far this year has declined compared to the same period last
year.
Major projects contributing to building permit revenues this quarter includes duplexes at Country
Meadows, Fieldhouse USA (an indoor sports facility at The Outlet Collection), and various
projects at Boeing.

Intergovernmental revenues include grants (direct and indirect federal, state and local),
revenue from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT) compact, intergovernmental service revenues,
and state shared revenues. Collections through September 2019 totaled $4.4 million and were
$159,000 lower than budget expectations.
The majority of the variance to budget was seen in the streamlined sales tax revenue distribution,
which was lower than expectations by $453,000 through Q3-2019 due to the Marketplace
Fairness Act (MFA) which was implemented in January 2018 to capture the retail sales tax lost on
internet and remote sales. MFA revenues are collected as retail sales tax revenues, which then
reduces the amount the City receives in streamlined sales taxes (see also page 8).

Charges for Services consist of general governmental service charges, public safety charges,
development service fees, and culture and recreation fees. Overall, charges for services
collected through Q3-2019 totaled $5.9 million, which was $509,000 favorable to budget. The
primary areas of increases were in both development services and culture and recreation
revenues as explained on pages 17 and 18.
A process change was implemented in 2019 that significantly affects the comparison of year-
over-year variances. Prior to 2019, salary and benefit expenditures for support departments
(Finance, Human Resources, and Legal) were allocated between the General Fund and other
City funds. Effective January 1, 2019, all salary and benefit costs for support departments are
now fully charged to their respective General Fund department. The General Fund charges these
other funds for these services via an interfund assessment, with a corresponding General Fund
revenue shown under “General Government” in the table above (hence the dramatic change from
2018 to 2019 shown in the table above). This policy change results in salary and benefit
expenditures within the General Fund to be higher than were previously reported, but the change
has a cost-neutral impact on the General Fund due to the revenue offset. Total revenues
recouped through Q3-2019 as general governmental revenues in the General Fund for the salary
and benefit interfund charges totaled $1.9 million.

Public safety revenues consist of revenues received for extra duty security services, whereby
police officers are contracted for and reimbursement is made by the hiring agency. This also
includes reimbursements from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT) for a full-time dedicated police
officer and associated expenditures as well as monies collected from the Auburn School District
and the Criminal Justice Training Commission (CJTC) for services rendered. Public safety
revenues collected through September 2019 totaled $847,000 as compared to a budget of
$786,000. The majority of the favorability seen in this revenue source is due to extra duty
overtime reimbursements exceeding budget expectations resulting from increased requests for
police officer security services.
Development services fee collections consist primarily of plan check fees, facility extension
charges, and zoning and subdivision fees. Through Q3-2019, development service fees totaled
$851,000 and ended the period $264,000 favorable to budget expectations. Total plan check
revenues collected through Q3-2019 totaled $481,000 compared to $326,000 collected through
Q3-2018 which is a 47.3% increase in revenues. Plan check revenues collected in the third
quarter of 2019 were from numerous commercial and residential projects including the Cooper
Gate Apartment complex (a 16 building complex), Divine Court (a 7 story mixed-use building on
Main Street), and Huntington Woods which is a new single family housing development. In
addition to increased plan check revenues collected through Q3-2019, both zoning/subdivision
fees and facility extension fees were higher than anticipated partly due to an increase in the fee
structure where the rates were recalibrated effective in January 2019 to be closer to cost of the
service(s) provided.

The majority of culture and recreation revenues are derived from greens fees and pro shop sales
at the Auburn Golf Course, recreational classes, ticket sales at the Auburn Avenue Theater,
special events, and athletic league fees. Culture and recreation revenues collected through Q3-
2019 totaled $2.2 million, exceeding collections in the same period last year by $69,000 and

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q3-2019 19
Fines & Penalties include civil penalties (such as code compliance fines), parking and traffic
infraction penalties, criminal fines (including criminal traffic, criminal non-traffic and other criminal
offenses) as well as non-court fines such as false alarm fines. Total revenues collected through
Q3-2019 totaled $642,000 as compared to a budget of $668,000.
As seen in the table below, civil penalty revenues collected through Q3-2019 were $52,000
higher than budget expectations. The favorable variance to budget in civil penalties relates to
revenues collected for code compliance penalties, which are largely unbudgeted. Code
compliance penalties are revenues collected from banks on vacant bank-owned properties that
are neglected and in non-compliance with City code.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q3-2019 21
Miscellaneous revenues consist of investment earnings, income from facility rentals, revenue
collected on golf cart rentals at the Auburn Golf Course, contributions & donations, and other
income including the quarterly purchasing card (P-card) rebate monies (see page 36 for more
information on P-cards). Revenues collected in this category through Q3-2019 totaled $1.4
million and exceeded budget expectations by $272,000, or 23.2%. The majority of this increase
was in the other miscellaneous revenue category and was due to unbudgeted one-time monies.
Interest and investments revenue collected through Q3-2019 totaled $292,000 and exceeded
budget expectations by $31,000, or 11.8%.
Rents and lease revenues collected through Q3-2019 totaled $793,000 and were $36,000 less
than revenues collected through the same period last year. Both facilities rental revenues and
golf cart rental revenues increased $13,000 and $11,000 respectively compared to collections
through Q3-2018. Conversely, deposits held through Q3-2019 for facility rentals declined
$47,000 compared to the same period last year. Lastly, due to a reduction of parking space
inventory due to construction projects in downtown Auburn, parking lot rental revenues through
Q3-2019 were $14,000 less than revenues collected through Q3-2018.

Street Funds
This section provides a financial overview of the City’s three street funds for the quarter ending
September 30, 2019. The City’s three street funds include the Arterial Street Fund (Fund 102),
the Local Street Fund (Fund 103), and the Arterial Street Preservation Fund (Fund 105).
Fund 102 – Arterial Street Fund
The Arterial Street Fund is a special revenue fund that is funded by transportation grants, traffic
impact fees, a portion of the City’s gas tax receipts, Public Works Trust Fund loans, developer
contributions, and other sources. As of September 30, 2019 there were 28 separate street
projects budgeted in this fund.
Through Q3-2019, revenues collected totaled $1.5 million as compared to collections of $2.7
million through Q3-2018. Total expenditures through Q3-2019 were $1.6 million as compared to
$3.4 million expended through Q3-2018. Variances in revenues and expenditures are largely due
to the timing of capital expenditures and any subsequent reimbursement via grants and/or
operating transfers. Expenditure timing is generally determined by the current phase of each
individual capital project; expenditures tend to increase as projects move from design phase into
construction. In addition, several inclement weather situations during Q1-2019 were not
conducive to street construction.

Fund 103 – Local Street Fund
The Local Street Fund is a special revenue fund used for local street preservation. Effective
January 1, 2019 through 2020 this fund is funded at a specific annual amount by real estate
excise tax (REET 2) whereas, previously, the funding source was sales tax on construction.
Through Q3-2019, revenues in this fund totaled $1.5 million, which is slightly higher than budget
expectations due to strong performance in interest earnings. This compares to collections of $2.0
million through Q3-2018. Expenditures through Q3-2019 were $783,000 and compare to
expenditures of $1.2 million through Q3-2018. Historically, well over half of this fund’s annual
expenditures occur in the final four months of each year due to the weather sensitivity of
pavement construction (this work needs to be done primarily in the summer and early fall). In
addition, several inclement weather situations during Q1-2019 were not conducive to street
construction. Highlighted in the table below and shown in the following graph are the fund’s total
expenditures related to capital projects.

Fund 105 – Arterial Street Preservation Fund
The Arterial Street Preservation Fund is a special revenue fund that is primarily funded by a 1.0%
utility tax that was adopted by Council in 2008; these utility tax revenues are restricted for arterial
street repair and preservation projects. Major projects budgeted within the Arterial Street
Preservation Fund in 2019 include A Street SE Preservation, 2019 Citywide Pavement Patching
& Overlay, and 2018 Citywide Pavement Patching & Overlay. Through Q3-2019 revenues totaled
$2.2 million, which is approximately $166,000 lower than the same period last year. This is
primarily due to the timing associated with construction projects and their subsequent cost
reimbursements from grants and transfers-in.
Expenditures through Q3-2019 were $2.4 million as compared to $2.3 million through Q3-2018.
Historically, the majority of this fund’s expenditures occur in the second half of each year due to
the weather sensitivity of pavement construction (this work needs to be done primarily in the
summer and early fall). In addition, several inclement weather situations during Q1-2019 were not
conducive to street construction. Highlighted in the table below and shown in the following graph
are the fund’s total expenditures related to capital projects.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q3-2019 31
Fund 124 – Mitigation Fees
The Mitigation Fees fund is a special revenue fund funded from revenues from fees for new
development that are assessed at the time applications are received for development activity.
These revenues are used to address costs associated with City growth.
The fund houses two types of revenues: mitigation fees and impact fees. Mitigation fees are
variable charges collected as a result of State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) reviews and the
City’s determination that a project must pay additional fees to compensate for a unique effect that
it has on the community. Impact fees are set charges collected automatically for a variety of
projects. These fees are adopted annually by the City Council based on projects anticipated in
the Capital Facilities Plan over the next six years.
About $1.8 million, or nearly 111%, of annual budgeted revenues were received through Q3-
2019. This significant favorable revenue performance was driven by the receipt of nearly
$600,000 in traffic impact fee revenue in Q2 from the Young’s Market truck warehouse and
distribution center. Additionally, a transfer-in of approximately $400,000 was completed in May to
pay for traffic mitigation fees related to the Legacy Senior Housing Project and the Auburn Town
Center.
Expenditures were significantly below budget due to the timing of capital projects funded by these
revenues. Of the twelve projects funded by parks impact fee revenues, only the Brannan Park
Synthetic Infield project has seen significant progress. There are three projects budgeted with
parks impact fee funding of at least $500,000 that have had minimal expenditures. Approximately
53% of the year-to-date expenditures of transportation impact fee revenue consists of scheduled
debt service payments.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q3-2019 32
Enterprise Funds
Detailed income and expense statements for Enterprise and Internal Service funds can be found
in an attachment at the end of this report. The attachment provides operating and – as applicable
– capital fund reports for these funds showing budget, actuals, and variances. Operating funds
house all the operating costs along with debt service and financing obligations. Capital funds
show costs associated with capital acquisition and construction. Both the operating and capital
funds have a working capital balance. This approach isolates those funds available for capital
and cash flow needs for daily operations, and project managers will know exactly how much
working capital is available for current and planned projects.
Through Q3-2019 the Water Utility had operating income of $5.2 million as compared to $4.4
million through Q3-2018. Total Water Fund operating revenues were $903,000 higher than
through Q3-2018, mainly due to strong performance in water sales – particularly the commercial
and irrigation categories. Water sales revenue is directly impacted by rate changes, which were
implemented across all water consumption categories effective January 1, 2019. Operating
expenditures through Q3-2019 were up $126,000, or 1.9% from Q3-2018. This variance is mainly
due to increases in personnel costs and to increased interfund utility taxes associated with higher
revenues.
Water sales by volume through September 2019 totaled 2.4 million hundred cubic feet (ccf) as
compared to 2.3 million ccf through September 2018, an increase of 5.0%. Total consumption
was up across all customer categories except school and wholesale. Significant increases by
volume were seen in commercial, irrigation and multifamily usage. While overall consumption has
increased compared to the same period last year, the Water Utility has seen a general trend of
decreased year-over-year consumption on a per account basis due largely to conservation efforts
and appliance efficiency improvements.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q3-2019 33
The Sewer Utility finished Q3-2019 with operating income of $2.2 million as compared to $1.5
million through Q3-2018. Increased revenues from charges for City sewer service following the
rate adjustment in January 2019 account for about half of the favorable variance; the remainder
consists mainly of a one-time $203,000 refund from the Department of Revenue for overpayment
of excise tax as well as interest earnings that already significantly exceed budget projections.
Year-to-date operating expenditures in the Sewer Utility were slightly below Q3-2018, with
spending at similar levels to last year in each category.
Through Q3-2019, the Stormwater Utility had operating income of $2.3 million compared with
$2.0 million through Q3-2018. Operating revenues are up $235,000 compared to Q3-2018 due to
charges for City storm service, which saw increases to all non-single family variable rates, as well
as from strong investment income performance.
Operating expenditures in the Stormwater Utility were down $56,000 from Q3-2018, contributing
to the higher operating income noted above. Factors contributing to this include a decrease in
spending on repairs and maintenance and the timing of certain intergovernmental payments.
Through Q3-2019 the Solid Waste Utility Fund had $11.9 million in operating revenues,
compared to $11.6 million in operating expenditures. The City of Auburn’s Solid Waste services
are outsourced to Waste Management and to Republic Services, who manages the contract for
the annexed areas. As of September 2019, Waste Management serviced 15,511 customers
(79% of customers) and Republic Services serviced 4,155 customers (21% of customers).
The current mix of solid waste customer account types is:
89.7% Residential
7.8% Commercial
2.5% Multifamily
The “diversion rate” is a measure of how much generated waste is not sent to the landfill; i.e.,
waste that is either recycled or collected yard waste. Through Q3-2019, the total diversion rate
was 28.6%, which represents a total of 14,825 tons of waste that was diverted from landfills.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q3-2019 35
In January 2019, the Auburn Municipal Airport transitioned from contracted management services
through a third-party management company to management of the Airport by in-house (City)
staff.
The Airport Fund finished Q3-2019 with operating income of $331,000 as compared with
operating income of $263,000 through Q3-2018. Operating revenues in the Airport Fund are up
$363,000 over Q3-2018, largely due to sales of aviation fuel. Aviation fuel was previously sold by
AMG, with a portion of the profit remitted to the City. Currently the City sells fuel directly, and
recovers all associated revenue.
Operating expenditures in the Airport Fund through Q3-2019 have increased by $295,000 over
the same period last year. A significant portion of this increase is due to the purchase of aviation
fuel for resale; the remaining variance consists largely of interfund charges related to City internal
services, repairs and maintenance, public utility costs, and interfund transfers to fund one-time
technology and vehicle purchases associated with bringing the management of the facilities in-
house.
Through Q3-2019, the Cemetery Fund experienced operating income of $146,000 as compared
with an operating income of $174,000 through Q3-2018. While sales of lots have decreased from
2018, this is generally offset by increases in openings/closings and sales of liners and markers.
Overall, operating revenues are up by $32,000, or 3.0% while operating expenditures are up
$60,000 or 6.7% from the same period last year due to inventory purchases and citywide internal
service allocations.

Internal Service Funds
Operating expenditures within the Insurance Fund represent the premium cost pool that will be
allocated monthly to other City funds over the course of 2019. As a result, the expenditure
balance gradually diminishes each month throughout the year.
No significant variances are reported in the Workers’ Compensation, Facilities, Innovation &
Technology, or Equipment Rental Funds.
Investment Portfolio
The City’s total cash and investments at the end of the Q3-2019 totaled $148.9 million, and
compares to $147.8 million at the end of Q2-2019. [attachment]
P-Card Statistics
The City has been actively promoting the use of P-Cards in lieu of purchase orders to minimize
effort and maximize incentive payments from the vendor and the State. In Q3-2019, 3,905
P-Card transactions were processed as compared with 1,090 purchase order transactions.
Total incentive payments received from US Bank in Q3-2019 totaled $26,734. These are
estimated payments since quarterly rebate checks are not actually received until the next quarter.
There is also an annual incentive payment from the State that is received in the year following.
The annual State incentive payment for 2018 was $27,723 and was received in April of 2019.

Re: Ordinance #6751 – 2019-2020 Budget Amendment #5
The City’s biennial 2019-2020 budget was approved by Council as two one-year appropriations. Budget
Amendments #1, #2, and #3 amended the budget for calendar year 2019. Budget Amendment #4, which will
also amend the 2019 budget, will be brought to Council for consideration on November 25, 2019.
This amendment will be the fifth budget amendment for the biennium and the first budget amendment for
calendar year 2020. The purpose of this amendment is to 1) realign significant revenue sources; 2) adopt
the continuation of previously approved requests by council; 3) adjust capital project budgets to match the
2020-2025 Capital Facilities Plan (CFP); 4) add budget authority for new programs and other expected
changes in 2020; and 5) adjust projected 2020 beginning fund balance.
Realign Significant Revenue Sources. With new legislation and policies adopted throughout 2019, and
three quarters of revenue collection data for 2019, there is an opportunity to fine-tune revenue projections for
2020. Total general fund revenue adjustment increases totaled $1,425,000 and include:
Property tax to reflect actual levy amount ($100,000)
Business license fees to reflect increases ($200,000)
Streamlined sales tax mitigation increase due to legislative extension through 2021 ($925,000)
Certain developer fees and permits due to fee schedule increases ($200,000)
Adopt the continuation of previously approved requests by Council. Amend the 2020 budget for
changes adopted in 2019 for which there is an ongoing fiscal impact in 2020 . Items in this category
were previously approved by Council in 2019. In total, these items decreases budgeted 2020 ending
fund balance by a net of $7,900, and include:
Ongoing costs associated with the continuation of two new school resource officers, authorized in
2018 and 2019 budget amendments (net fund balance decrease of $39,300);
Impacts of the Police collective bargaining agreement, which was negotiated in 2019 (net fund
balance decrease $790,300);
Adjust SCORE owner agency cost based on adopted SCORE budget (fund balance increase
$400,000); and
Reduction of LEOFF1 benefit costs to better reflect historical actuals (fund balance increase
$421,700).
Page 172 of 275
Adjust capital project budgets. Represent changes to project budgets to align with the updated
2020-2025 Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) that is scheduled to be adopted in December, excluding
unspent capital project budgets from 2019 that are automatically carried forward into 2020 due to the
adoption of multi-year capital budgeting, as authorized in Ordinance No. 6682 (June 2018).
Significant project adjustments included in this budget amendment include:
(Fund 102) Updated budget for F St. SE Non-Motorized Improvements project, funded by new
federal grant and traffic impact fees ($3,250,000)
(Fund 102) Updated budget for Auburn Way South Improvements project, funded by new federal
grant and traffic impact fees($1,500,000)
(Fund 460) Move budget from 2021 to 2020 to accelerate the Lea Hill AC Main replacement
project, partially funded by bond proceeds ($2,778,000)
(Fund 460) Move budget from 2022 to 2020 to accelerate the Academy Pump Station pump
replacement project, partially funded by bond proceeds ($2,196,000)
(Fund 465) Increase budget for Airport Runway project, largely funded by state and federal grants
($3,124,900)
Miscellaneous Project delays, deferrals, and deletions - see Attachment 1 ($1,512,900)
Reallocate funding for water utility system capital projects from working capital to bond funding -
see Attachment 1 ($1,176,400)
Add budget authority for new programs and other expected changes in 2020 .These include
revenue adjustments to reflect new revenue sources revenue streams; requests for increased funding
for existing programs, and funding requests for new projects or programs. New requests include:
Replace 24 golf carts, fully funded through equipment replacement ($103,800)
Marketing for Auburn Adventure Film Festival ($30,000)
Establish 2020 SKHPP budget, offset mostly through partnerships with other agencies (net
$12,400)
Adjustments of 2020 beginning fund balance due to 2019 budget amendments. Each approved
budget amendment in 2019 (in BAs #1, #2, #3, and proposed BA#4) that amended the 2019 budgeted
ending fund balance also affects the budgeted 2020 beginning fund balance. These adjustments, which
affect most funds, increase 2020 budgeted fund balance by $9,012,155.
The following table summarizes the current and revised budget as a result of this amendment.

Budget Impact:

Administrativ e Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution 5463 so that those land leases on the Auburn Municipal Airport subject to
the 2020 Fair Market Value assessment can have their rate increase implemented
incrementally over a two year period.
Background Summary:
Six of the airport land leases are subject to Fair Market Value (FMV) lease rate adjustments in
the upcoming 2020 term. Valbridge Property Advisors delivered an MAI appraisal dated
September 30, 2019 establishing the current FMV for airport land at $0.825 per square foot
per year. This valuation represents roughly a 36% increase over the 2019 lease rate.
Amending the lease agreements to allow for implementing the 2020 term FMV increase in
two separate increments between the 2020 & 2021 terms would ease the financial burden of
the Airport tenants.

DRAFT SCA 2020 Legislative Agenda
Address the Affordable Housing and Homelessness Crisis
The state and cities must partner to preserve and increase the supply of affordable housing as, well as
address behavioral health needs and other root causes of homelessness. Sound Cities Association urges
the Legislature to:
Allow cities to create and preserve affordable housing through optional local tools, including
extending the timeline to approve a “qualifying local tax” provided under HB 1406 adopted in the
2019 legislative session
Continue to expand investment in the Housing Trust Fund
Address other underlying causes of homelessness by providing support to cities to implement
innovative local solutions and increasing investments in our state’s behavioral health system
Invest in Transportation Infrastructure and Mobility
The economic vitality of our state demands that we invest in our existing transportation infrastructure
and prioritize new investments that improve the movement of people and goods. Cities have increased
investments in local transportation systems, but still face an annual funding gap for maintenance and
operation of those systems of $1 billion statewide. Sound Cities Association urges the Legislature to:
Partner with cities to develop a comprehensive transportation bill that provides new resources and
options for local government to address transportation and mobility needs
Fully Fund the Public Works Trust Fund and Provide Options for Local Infrastructure Needs
Today’s cities are building the infrastructure necessary to accommodate a growing population and
economy. Investments in infrastructure keep communities vibrant, protect the environment, and attract
economic development. Cities need tools to lower the cost of providing local infrastructure and to avoid
further exacerbating the housing affordability crisis. Sound Cities Association urges the Legislature to:
Fully fund the Public Works Trust Fund
Support economic development tools that help maintain and expand local infrastructure, such as
Tax Increment Financing and similar tools
Preserve Local Decision-Making Authority
Cities possess strong local knowledge and authority to keep communities safe, healthy, and improve
quality of life. It is critical cities maintain the authority to provide the necessary services and retain local
control over land use planning that will help communities thrive.
Provide the Tools for Cities to Address Local Priorities
City revenue streams are limited and are not structured to sustainably keep -up with rising costs. Cities
need flexible local funding tools, fewer unfunded mandates, and continued support from the state for
shared responsibilities. Sound Cities Association urges the Legislature to:
Replace the arbitrary 1% cap on annual property tax increases with a limit tied to inflation plus
population growth
Meet the state’s commitment to revenues intended to be shared with cities to serve our shared
constituents
Continue streamlined sales tax mitigation to affected cities

•Typical scenario involves officers showing up to a fireworks complaint. Upon
arrival, a group of adults are standing around fireworks. When no one claims
ownership, officers are left with no other alternative except to seize the
fireworks.
•Despite zero tolerance, officers still exercise discretion in order to avoid
arresting otherwise law abiding citizens. (Example, Law abiding Boeing
Engineer is discharging fireworks with his kids on the 4th of July during a BBQ.
If he receives a criminal citation for unlawfully discharging fireworks his
security clearance could be in jeopardy and ultimately cost him his job.)

Challenges to Prosecution
•Public defender funds since it is a misdemeanor crime.
•Most jurors view it as a minor offense and are less likely to
convict.
•Most citizens who are cited are law abiding with no criminal
history. Prosecutorial discretion results in alternatives to
filing charges.
•Since 2016, 19 cases have been referred to the prosecutors
office. 11 were dismissed or have no charging decision yet. 5
have been amended to infractions with a monetary fine
attached. 3 have gone to warrant status.

Challenges to Enforcement
•Identifying the specific location where the firework violation came from.
•Responding in a timely manner to catch the offender still on site.
•Identifying the offender once on site.
•Officer observing the offender at the time of the violation. Finding
witnesses who will cooperate with prosecution.
•Largest distributor of fireworks in the region is located within the city.
•The city cannot control what is sold on the reservation. Regulations as to
what can be sold on the reservation are based on federal standards.

Recommendations for 2020
•Close the city parks around 1900. This will allow officers to focus on residential
areas.
•Encourage businesses to post no trespassing signs or rent barricades closing
parking lots.
•Keep the discharge area open after the stands close in order to prevent the
discharge of fireworks from other locations within the city.
•Emphasis on education through social media and public service announcements.
•Post firework signs at city boundaries.
•Reader boards on Auburn Way S letting patrons know when the discharge area is
closed.
•Code Red message on the 4th reminding citizens of firework laws.

Background Summary:
The Kersey 3 development was required to construct two public parks as part of the
development agreement. Upon completion of these parks were turned over to the City of
Auburn. For the last three years they have operated without formally approved names. Park
Board, following Park Policy 1130 and Resolution 2555 (which sets forth policies and
procedures related to the naming of public property and facilities) approve of these two
names. Park Board members and staff gathered information from the public related to
proposed names and approved the names of Evergreen Park in Kersey A and Edgeview
Park in Kersey B of the Kersey 3 development at the September Park Board meeting.

MANUAL OF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Board
Auburn, Washington
Number 1130
Effective: October 15, 2013 (supercedes November 2, 2004)
Section 1000 Administration
Subject 100 Authority and Objectives
Title 30 Naming Parks
PURPOSE: To establish policy for the City of Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation to name
newly acquired or developed or as-yet unnamed parks and recreation facilities, after following
the procedures outlined here and in compliance with Resolution No. 2555.
1. Responsibility
1.1 The Auburn Parks and Recreation Board shall make a recommendation to the
council. The Board shall solicit public input from individuals and organizations.
1.2 The City Council has the final authority for naming City public facilities.
2. Procedures
2.1 The Parks and Recreation Board will meet on their normal schedule, unless a
special meeting is called. The Parks and Recreation Director, or his designee, will
provide staff support.
2.2 The Parks and Recreation Board will use public input to solicit suggestions for
names from organizations and individuals. The Board will acknowledge, and
record for consideration, all suggestions, solicited or not.
2.3 After considering the submitted names and applying the criteria set forth in 3
below, the Board will recommend names to the Mayor and City Council, and
provide the historical or other supportive information as appropriate to justify the
recommendation.
2.4 The Parks and Recreation Director, with the advice of the Parks and Recreation
Board, will take all necessary steps to submit the recommendation to the Mayor
and City Council at their next scheduled meeting.
3. Criteria
3.1 To avoid duplication, confusing similarity, or inappropriateness, the Board, in
considering name suggestions, will review existing park and facility names in the
park system
.
Page 271 of 275
Page 2 of 2
Policy # 1130
3.2 In naming a park or facility, the Board will consider geographical location,
historical or cultural significance, distinctive natural or geological features, and
the wishes of the community in which it is located.
3.3 In naming community centers and other facilities, the Board will give
considerable weight to names that reflect the geographic location that gives
identity to the community.
3.4 Selection of names to be used to designate public facilities shall be based on the
relationship of that parcel of land or facility based on the following criteria: (a)
neighborhood, geographic, or common usage or referral identification; historical
figure, place, event, or other instance of historical or cultural significance; (b)
natural or geological feature; (c) an individual, living or deceased, who has made
a significant land and/or monetary contribution to the park system or who has had
such contribution made “in memoriam” with the name stipulated as a condition of
donation; (d) an individual, living or deceased, who contributed outstanding civic
service to the City, community, or City government. A period of at least one year
shall expire before naming of a park or facility honoring a deceased person.
3.5 As a general rule, portions of a park or recreation facility will not have a name
other than that of the entire facility; the Board may consider exceptions in cases
where, as a revenue or fundraising opportunity, a nomination is submitted to name
a room within a community center after a corporate sponsor, or in cases where an
area within a park is distinctive enough, in the view of the Board, to merit its own
name.
3.6 Because temporary “working” designations tend to be retained, the Director will
carry out the naming process for a new park facility as early as possible after its
acquisition or development. Facilities will bear number designations until the
naming process results in adoption of a name.
3.7 Recommendations of the Board will be taken to the Mayor and City Council for
final approval.
3.8 A name, once bestowed, should be so named with the intent that it is permanent.
3.9 City signage shall identify the specific park or facility by placing appropriate
signage specifying the name.
