Background for Motion:
Background Summary:
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a multiyear planning tool and document for
the development of transportation facilities within the City and does not represent a financial
commitment by the City. Once the TIP is approved, projects are budgeted and funded
through the City’s biennial budget. The TIP sets priorities for the allocation secured and
unsecured funding and is a prerequisite of most grant programs. Staff also uses the TIP to
coordinate future transportation projects with needed utility improvements. The projects and
programs identified in the TIP that increase the capacity of the transportation system to
address growth and development provide the basis for the City’s transportation impact fee
program. Projects must also be included in the TIP to be eligible for state and federal grant
funding.
RCW 35.77.010 requires that the TIP is amended by June 30 each year.
The date of the public hearing was set by consent on June 6, 2022.

amount for public work contracts based on contract value. The maximum authorized contract
amount includes the original contract amount plus an authorized contingency. The code allows
for administrative approval of change order work within the authorized contingency amount. If
additional contingency exists within the overall project budget, the code also allows the City
Council to increase the total maximum authorized contract amount, which is an increase to the
authorized contingency available for administrative approval.
CP2006/2007 - 3rd Street SW and Lea Hill Bridge Deck Preservation project includes two
project locations. The first location is at the Lea Hill Bridge, where bridge deck surface was
replaced, and expansion joints repaired in May 2022. The second location is at the 3rd Street
SW Bridges, where the bridge decks will be cleaned, cracks repaired, and the bridge
surfaces will be sealed. The purpose of this project is to preserve and prolong the overall
service life of these critical bridge structures.
During construction at the Lea Hill Bridge, the authorized construction contingencies were
mostly expended due to several unforeseen field conditions that required mitigation.
Specifically, we found additional cracking in the bridge surface after removing the top layer of
the deck surface and the existing asphalt pavement was failing at one end of the bridge and
needed to be replaced. The preservation work on the 3rd Street SW bridges is tentatively
scheduled to start on July 8, 2022. This bridge work requires a full closure of 3rd Street SW
which includes the closure of the WSDOT’s on-ramp to westbound SR18, a WSDOT limited
access area. Due to traffic volumes and the duration of the work, WSDOT has required this
road closure to occur during a weekend. An increase in the total authorized contract amount
would ensure that the construction contingencies are available to respond immediately and
Page 23 of 282
continue work without delay, during the weekend roadway closure, if unforeseen field
conditions are encountered. Without the additional construction contingency, we risk
additional costs and delays if we encounter unforeseen conditions and are not able to
complete the work during the planned weekend closure. This work also requires extensive
coordination with WSDOT and scheduling around events at the White River Amphitheatre.
The increase in the total authorized contract amount of $20,000.00 and is available within the
existing overall project budget, which is funded by a grant.

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 6854.
Background for Motion:
This Ordinance vacates a portion of M Street NW, north of 15th Street NW, and a portion of
29th Street NW, east of M Street NW, which staff has determined is no longer needed. This
vacation is also subject to conditions outlined in the Ordinance.
Background Summary:
The City of Auburn has determined that a portion of right-of-way of M Street NW, north of 15th
Street NW and a portion of right-of-way of 29th Street NW, east of M Street NW (ROW
Vacation Area) are no longer required to meet the needs of the City. In addition, the rights-of-
way have been used for illegal parking, litter dumping and vandalism which the City is
continually responsible for addressing.
On January 18, 2022, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6847 that modified Chapter 10.28
of the Auburn City Code to restrict the proposed ROW Vacation Area to all vehicular and non-
vehicular traffic except for the purpose of accessing utilities and properties by their owners
and authorized guests in order to address illegal dumping issues. Subsequently, a locked
gate was installed across M Street NW to limit access to the ROW Vacation Area.
The proposed ROW Vacation Area of M Street NW became ROW when it was acquired by
the State for the construction of SR-167 in 1969. This area was subsequently conveyed to
the City of Auburn from the State through Governor’s Deed in 1974. The north 30 feet of the
proposed ROW Vacation area of 29th Street NW was dedicated as a public street by the Plat
of Christopher Garden Tracts in 1919. The south 20 feet of the proposed ROW Vacation
Area of 29th Street NW was acquired by King County as right-of-way sometime between
1889 and 1919.
City staff, utility providers, and abutting property owners who have an interest in this right-of-
way have reviewed the proposed right-of-way vacation. Through this review, City staff has
determined that the right-of-way is no longer necessary to meet the needs of the City and
could be vacated with conditions.

Ordinance No. 6854, if adopted by City Council approves Right-of-Way Vacation No. VAC21-

RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION
STAFF REPORT
Right-of-Way (ROW) Vacation Number VAC21-0003
Applicant: City Initiated
Property Location: Right-of-Way located M Street NW and 29th St NW, north of 15th
Street NW and east of SR-167.
Description of right-of-way:
This rights-of-way (ROW) proposed for vacation consists of M Street NW (Frontage
Road) being 60 feet in width, north of 15th Street NW to the south line of the BPA
Transmission Line easements, and 29th Street NW, being 50 feet in width, east of M St
NW to the approximate west bank of Mill Creek.
The M Street NW ROW proposed for vacation is bound by SR-167 adjacent on the west
side, Parcel No. 1580600090 adjacent on the north side, and Parcel Nos. 1580600090,
1580600091, 0121049034, 0121049014, 1221049005, and 1221049041 adjacent on
the east side. The total proposed vacation area of the M Street NW ROW is
approximately 219,516 square feet (5.04 acres).
The proposed vacation Area of M St NW became ROW when it was acquired by the
State for the construction of SR-167 through King County Superior Cause Nos. 718093
and 718254 and as depicted on WSDOT SR-167 Plans MP 13.66 to MP 17.42
AUBURN 17TH ST. SW to S. 285TH ST, Sheets 7 and 8 of 14, dated January 28, 1971.
This ROW area was subsequently conveyed to the City of Auburn from the State
through Governor’s Deed under King County Recording No. 7402270280, dated
February 6, 1974.
The 29th Street NW ROW proposed for vacation is bound by M Street NW on the west,
Parcel Nos.1580600090 and 1580600091 on the north, Parcel No. 0121049034 on the
south and the approximate west bank of Mill Creek on the east (15 feet west of the
existing bridge joint). The total proposed vacation area of the 29th Street NW ROW is
approximately 35,472 square feet (0.81 acres).
The north 30 feet of the proposed Vacation Area of 29th Street NW was dedicated for
public street and for public highway purposes by the Plat of Christopher Garden Tracts
Page 41 of 282
2 of 5
May 18, 2022
VAC21-0003 Staff Report
on April 9, 1919, recorded in Vol. 23 of Plats at Page 6, Records of King County,
Washington.
The South 20 feet of the proposed Vacation Area of 29th Street NW appears to have
been acquired by King County as right-of-way sometime between the November 13,
1889, establishment of D. Shanker Road, County Road No. 254 and the April 9, 1919,
recording of the aforementioned Christopher Garden Tracts, which depicts the south 20
feet as existing ROW. Extensive Survey archival research and title company support
have yet to locate or acquire a recorded conveyance document for the south 20 feet as
ROW; however, in addition to the Christopher Garden Tracts plat, COA Short Plat 2-79
under KC Rec. No. 7902141432 and Records of Survey under KC Rec. Nos.
7903169012, 8007099001 and 20170110900009 depict the subject area as such. The
full ROW area, 50 feet in width, was subsequently acquired by the City of Auburn
through Annexation Ordinance 1913, passed June 6, 1966, and effective June 20,
1966.
See Exhibit “A” for legal description and survey.
Proposal:
The City is proposing that the ROW be vacated so that the road can be permanently
closed. The ROW provides access to properties and utilities that do not currently
require, or benefit from, general public access. Additionally, the ROW crossing Mill
Creek at the east boundary of the proposed vacation of 29th St NW is closed due to its
condition and provides no connectivity to the City street network for public access
benefit. The proposed ROW vacation area has been used to illegally dump inoperable
vehicles, trash and other waste material in, and adjacent to, the public right-of-way. The
illegal dumping has presented an on-going potential threat to the sensitive
environmental areas along the ROW as well as significant financial burden to the City
and adjacent property owners.
On January 18, 2022, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6847 that modified Chapter
10.28 of the Auburn City Code to restrict the ROW to all vehicular and non-vehicular
traffic except for the purpose of accessing utilities and properties by their owners and
authorized guests in order to address illegal dumping issues. Subsequently, a locked
gate was installed across M Street NW to limit access to the ROW Vacation Area.
The proposed vacation of M St NW and 29th St NW, if approved, would turn the right-of-
way back into private property and it would attach to those adjacent parcels that are
entitled to receive it. This would allow property owners to better secure their properties
from unwanted trespassing, illegal dumping, and vandalism. After vacation, the roadway
surface within the vacated right of way area would be owned and maintained by the
property owners.

Applicable Policies & Regulations:
RCW’s applicable to this situation - meets requirements of RCW 35.79.
MUTCD standards - not affected by this proposal.
City Code or Ordinances - meets requirements of ACC 12.48.
Comprehensive Plan Policy - not affected.
City Zoning Code - not affected.
Public Benefit:
Adjacent property owners can secure their property from unwanted trespassing
and vandalism.
The street vacation decreases the right-of-way maintenance obligation of the
City, including cleanup and removal of abandoned vehicles and litter.
Vacated Right-of-Way areas typically have a financial benefit to the general
public because the vacated areas are subject to property taxes
Discussion:
The City initiated vacation proposal was circulated to Puget Sound Energy (PSE),
Tacoma Water, Comcast, CenturyLink, adjacent property owners, and City staff.
1. Puget Sound Energy (PSE) – Comments from PSE were received and PSE does
not have any existing facilities in the proposed vacation area and does not
require easements for such purposes. However, PSE does require an access
easement to serve their adjacent property through the proposed vacation area for
secondary emergency access to their substation.
2. Tacoma Water – Comments from Tacoma Water were received requesting an
easement be reserved for facilities currently located in the proposed vacation
area. Tacoma Water also requires an access easement to serve their adjacent
property through the proposed vacation area.
3. Comcast – Comments from Comcast were received and Comcast has no cable
system facilities in either the M St NW or the 29th St NW right-of-way vacation
areas. Comcast does not need an easement within the vacation areas for future
use.
4. CenturyLink – Comments from CenturyLink were received requesting an
easement be reserved for facilities currently located in the right-of-way.
5. WSDOT – No comments from WSDOT were received.
6. Engineering – Engineering supports the proposed vacation as the vacation area
provides no current or future connectivity to the City’s transportation network and
vacating the area may support protection of environmentally sensitive areas
adjacent to the vacation area (Mill Creek).
7. Transportation – An easement will need to be retained across the proposed
vacation area for two existing street lights, including street light conduits and
power cabinet.

VAC21-0003 Staff Report
8. Planning – Planning has no comments and supports the proposed vacation.
9. Water – An easement will need to be retained across the proposed vacation area
for existing water facilities.
10. Sewer – An easement will need to be retained across the proposed vacation
area for existing sewer facilities.
11. Storm – An easement will need to be retained across the proposed vacation area
for existing storm facilities.
12. Fire – No comments.
13. Solid Waste – Solid Waste has no comments and supports the proposed
vacation.
14. Police – No comments.
15. Streets – No comments.
16. Construction – Construction has no comments and supports the proposed
vacation.
17. Innovation and Technology – No comments
Assessed Value:
ACC 12.48 states: “The city council may require as a condition of the ordinance that the
city be compensated for the vacated right-of-way in an amount which does not exceed
one-half the value of the right-of-way so vacated, except in the event the subject
property or portions thereof were acquired at public expense or have been part of a
dedicated public right-of-way for 25 years or more, compensation may be required in an
amount equal to the full value of the right-of-way being vacated. The city engineer shall
estimate the value of the right-of-way to be vacated based on the assessed values of
comparable properties in the vicinity. If the value of the right-of-way is determined by
the city engineer to be greater than $2,000, the applicant will be required to provide the
city with an appraisal by an MAI appraiser approved by the city engineer, at the
expense of the applicant. The city reserves the right to have a second appraisal
performed at the city’s expense.”
RCW 35.79.030 states the vacation “shall not become effective until the owners of

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 6862.
Background for Motion:
Inland Washington, LLC has constructed half street improvements along D Street NE
between Auburn Way North and 49th Street NE to mitigate the traffic impact of their project,
Coppergate Apartments. The improvement is eligible for a Payback Agreement that would
provide reimbursement to the Inland Washington, LCC when those benefitted properties
benefit from the improvement, as they develop or redevelop.
Background Summary:
Ordinance No. 6862 authorizes the Mayor to execute a Street Payback Agreement for half-
street improvements between the City of Auburn and Inland Washington, LLC.
Inland Washington, LLC has constructed half-street improvements along D Street NE
between 49th Street NE and Auburn Way N, which benefit three properties. The
improvements include pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalk, street lighting, and storm
drainage. If these properties were to undertake certain development activity, as defined by
Auburn City Code 12.64A, they would trigger the requirement to construct these half-street
improvements built by Inland Washington, LLC along their frontages.
Inland Washington, LLC has requested a Payback Agreement from the City. The Payback
agreement would allow the developer to recover partial costs related to the design and
construction of the half-street improvements if, and when, the benefited properties undertake
development activity that would have triggered the requirement to construction half-street
improvements. The proposed agreement was reviewed by Council at the June 13, 2022
Council Study Session.
City staff has notified the owners of the benefited properties of the payback agreement and
the public hearing on June 21, 2022.

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council adopt Ordinance No. 6860.
Background for Motion:
Ordinance 6860 incorporates several amendments to the City’s Business and Occupation
Tax to add clarity and alignment with other sections of the City code.
Background Summary:
In May 2021 the Auburn City Council adopted ACC 3.53 Business and Occupation Tax, which
first became effective in January 1, 2022. In the time between initial adoption, business
community outreach, and the first tax returns which were due April 30, 2022, there have been
several clarifying questions. This amendment provides clarity for several sections within ACC
3.53, including more definitions (such as "adult family homes", "consumer", "gross receipts", and
"hospital" and "warehouse"); tax reporting guidelines for operations in multiple locations; clarity
over tax due for gross receipts versus square footage; and clarifications on certain exemptions
(hospitals, school districts, and fire district activities).

CHAPTER 3.53 OF THE AUBURN CITY CODE RELATED TO
CITY BUSINESS AND OCCUPATION (B&O) TAX, CLARIFYING
DEFINITIONS, TAXPAYER CLASSIFICATIONS, AND TAX
EXEMPTIONS
WHEREAS, in 2021 the City enacted its business and occupations (B&O) tax code
(ACC 3.53);
WHEREAS, prior to and since the enactment of ACC 3.53, the City has engaged in
outreach efforts with the business community and potential City business taxpayers in preparing
to implement the taxation requirements of ACC 3.53;
WHEREAS, the City has determined based on this outreach that certain sections within
ACC 3.53 should be amended in the following ways:
• To define additional terms in the code (such as “adult family homes,” “consumer,”
“gross receipts,” “hospital,” and “warehouse”) that will assist taxpayers in determining
and calculating their City B&O tax liability;
• To clarify the appropriate City B&O tax classifications for City businesses that
operate in multiple locations;
• To clarify when businesses will be subject to City B&O tax based on operating space
square footage instead of on gross receipts;
• To further specify organizations or activities that are exempt from the City’s B&O tax
(such as nonprofit hospitals, or certain school district or fire district activities);
• To address the City B&O tax liability of persons or businesses entering the City’s
jurisdiction through annexation; and
• To make additional needed technical revisions and corrections to the code;
WHEREAS, these revisions to ACC 3.53 will enable greater clarity and precision in the
administration and implementation of the City’s B&O tax code, and they are in the best interest
of the City, its business community and its B&O taxpayers.

personal property merely by arranging for shipment of the property from the seller to
itself. A buyer’s representative is a person, other than an employee of the buyer, who is
authorized in writing by the buyer to receive tangible personal property and take
dominion and control by making the final decision to accept or reject the property.
Neither a shipping company nor a seller can serve as a buyer’s representative. It is

the property. Delivery terms and other provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code
(RCW Title 62A) do not determine when or where delivery of tangible personal property
occurs for purposes of taxation.
GM. “Director” means the finance director of the city or any officer, agent or employee
of the city designated to act on the director’s behalf.
HN. “Digital automated service,” “digital code” and “digital goods” have the same

IO. “Digital products” means digital goods, digital codes, digital automated services,
and the services described in RCW 82.04.050(2)(q) and (6)(b).
JP. Eligible Gross Receipts Tax. The term “eligible gross receipts tax” means a tax
which:
1. Is imposed on the act or privilege of engaging in business activities within section
ACC 3.53.040; and
2. Is measured by the gross volume of business, in terms of gross receipts, and is not
an income tax or value added tax; and
3. Is not, pursuant to law or custom, separately stated from the sales price; and
4. Is not a sales or use tax, business license fee, franchise fee, royalty or severance tax
measured by volume or weight, or concession charge, or payment for the use and
enjoyment of property, property right or a privilege; and
5. Is a tax imposed by a local jurisdiction, whether within or without the state of
Washington, and not by a country, state, province, or any other nonlocal jurisdiction
above the county level.
KQ. Engaging in Business.
Page 105 of 282
1. The term “engaging in business” means commencing, conducting, or continuing in
business, and also the exercise of corporate or franchise powers, as well as liquidating
a business when the liquidators thereof hold themselves out to the public as conducting
such business.
2. This subsection sets forth examples of activities that constitute engaging in business
in the city, and establishes safe harbors for certain of those activities so that a person
who meets the criteria may engage in de minimis business activities in the city without
having to register and obtain a business license or pay city business and occupation
taxes. The activities listed in this section are illustrative only and are not intended to
narrow the definition of “engaging in business” in subsection (KQ)(1) of this section. If
an activity is not listed, whether it constitutes engaging in business in the city shall be
determined by considering all the facts and circumstances and applicable law.

3.54, including more definitions (such as "cash basis", "generally accepted accounting
principals", and "records"); clarify how interest on overpayments is calculated, and replace
terminology for ease of understanding and clarity.

A. “Telephone business” means the business of providing access to a local telephone
network, local telephone network switching service, toll service, cellular telephone
service, or coin telephone services, or providing telephonic, video, data, or similar
communication or transmission for hire, via a local telephone network, toll line or
channel, or similar communication or transmission system, and as more fully defined in
RCW 82.04.065. It includes cooperative or farmer line telephone companies or
associations operating an exchange. “Telephone business” does not include the
providing of competitive telephone service, nor the providing of cable television service,

The definition of cellular mobile service includes other wireless radio communications
services such as specialized mobile radio (SMR), personal communications services
(PCS), and any other evolving wireless radio communications technology which
accomplishes a purpose similar to cellular mobile service.
C. “Competitive telephone service” means the providing by any person of

apparatus, such as repair or maintenance services, if the equipment or apparatus is of a
type which can be provided by persons that are not subject to regulation as telephone
companies under RCW Title 80, and for which a separate charge is made.
Transmission of communication through cellular telephones is defined as a “telephone
business” in subsection A of this section rather than as a “competitive telephone
service.”
D. “Gross income” means the value proceeding or accruing from the sale of tangible
property or service, and receipts (including all sums earned or charged, whether
received or not) by reason of the investment of capital in the business engaged in,
including rentals, royalties, fees, or other emoluments, however designated (excluding
receipts or proceeds from the use or sale of real property or any interest therein, and
proceeds from the sale of notes, bonds, mortgages, or other evidences of indebtedness,
or stocks and the like) and without any deduction on account of the cost of the property
sold, the cost of materials used, labor costs, interest or discount paid, or any expense
whatsoever, and without any deduction on account of losses.
E. “Network telephone service” means the providing by any person of access to a
telephone network, telephone network switching service, toll service, or coin telephone
service, or providing of telephonic, video, voice, data, or similar communication or
Page 170 of 282

similar communication or transmission system. Network telephone service includes the
provision of electronic transmitting to and from the site of an internet service provider via
a telephone network, toll line or channel, cable, microwave, or similar communication or
transmitting system, without regard to whether such service is referred to as voice over
internet protocol services. It also encompasses interstate service, including toll service,
originating from or received on telecommunications equipment or apparatus in this state
if the charge for the service is billed to a person in this state. Network telephone service
does not include the providing of competitive telephone service, the providing of cable
television service, or the providing of broadcast services by radio or television stations,
nor the provision of internet service as defined in RCW 82.04.297, including the
reception of dial-in connection provided at the site of the internet service provider.
F. “Pager service” means service provided by means of an electronic device which has
the ability to send or receive voice or digital messages transmitted through the local
telephone network via satellite or any other form of voice or data transmission.
G. “Place of primary use” means the residential street address or the primary business
street address of the customer and in both cases must be located within the licensed
service area of the home service provider.
ACC 3.84.020 Competitive telephone service defined.
“Competitive telephone service” means the providing by any person of
telecommunications equipment, apparatus, or service related to that equipment or
apparatus, such as repair or maintenance services, if the equipment or apparatus is of a
type which can be provided by persons that are not subject to regulation as telephone
companies under RCW Title 80, and for which a separate charge is made.
Transmission of communication through cellular telephones is classified as “telephone
business” in ACC 3.84.010 rather than “competitive telephone service.”

Current Budget: $0

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council adopt Resolution No. 5671.
Background for Motion:
This Resolution adopts the updated Transportation Improvement Program, also called the
TIP. The TIP is a multiyear planning document for the development of transportation facilities
within the City. RCW 35.77.010 requires it to be amended by June 30 each year.
Background Summary:
Resolution No. 5671 authorizes the City Council to adopt the 2023-2028 Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP).
The TIP is a multiyear planning tool and document for the development of transportation
facilities within the City and does not represent a financial commitment by the City. Once the
TIP is approved, projects are budgeted and funded through the City’s biennial budget. The
TIP sets priorities for the allocation of secured and unsecured funding and is a prerequisite of
most grant programs. Staff also uses the TIP to coordinate future transportation projects with
needed utility improvements. The projects and programs identified in the TIP that increase
the capacity of the transportation system to address growth and development provide the
basis for the City’s transportation impact fee program. Projects must also be included in the
TIP to be eligible for state and federal grant funding.
RCW 35.77.010 requires that the TIP be amended by June 30 each year. The proposed
2023-2028 TIP was presented and discussed at the May 9, 2022 Council Study Session.
The City's citizen Transportation Advisory Board (TAB), reviewed and discussed the 2023-
2028 TIP at its May 10, 2022 meeting and passed a motion making a recommendation to the
City Council to adopt the TIP.
Due to a recent grant process and potential grant award Project N-5 was revised to reflect a
reduction to the scope to increase the likelihood of the grant award which will be determined
later this year. The original project included improvements at two intersections: 1st St NW/NE
at N Division and at A Street NW. The revised project includes only the 1st St NW/NE at N
Division intersection.
Page 174 of 282
A public hearing for the TIP was set by consent agenda at the June 6, 2022 Council Meeting.
The hearing is scheduled to be held at the June 21, 2022 Council Meeting in advance of the
adoption of this resolution.

City of Auburn Transportation Improvement Program
Executive Summary and Introduction 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a 6-year plan for transportation
improvements that support the City of Auburns current and future growth. The TIP along with
the Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) serve as source documents for the City of
Auburn Capital Facilities Plan which is a Comprehensive Plan element required by
Washington’s Growth Management Act. The program may be revised at any time by a majority
of the City Council after a public hearing.
INTRODUCTION
Purpose
The TIP sets priorities for the allocation of secured and unsecured funding and is a
prerequisite of most grant programs. Staff also uses the TIP to coordinate future transportation
projects with needed utility improvements. The projects and programs identified in the TIP that
increase the capacity of the transportation system to address growth and development provide
the basis for the City’s transportation impact fee program.
Statutory Requirements
Six Year Transportation Improvement Program - RCW 35.77.010 requires that each city
prepare and adopt a comprehensive transportation improvement program for the ensuing six
calendar years consistent with its CTP. This six-year TIP shall be filed with the Secretary of the
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) each year within 30 days of
adoption.
Projects of Regional Significance - RCW 35.77.010 also requires each city to specifically set
forth those projects and programs of regional significance for inclusion in the transportation
improvement program for that region. The 2023-2028 TIP includes two projects of regional
significance:
TIP Project Number Project Title
TIP# R-6 AWS Widening (Hemlock to Poplar)
TIP# R-7 M St NE Widening (E Main St to 4th St NE)
TIP# R-26 E Valley Highway Widening

City of Auburn Transportation Improvement Program
Executive Summary and Introduction 2
Methodology
Transportation needs are identified by examining the latest information concerning level of
service, safety and crash history, growth trends, traffic studies and the City’s adopted CTP.
The likelihood of receiving federal or state grants for various improvements, community
interests and values are also considered. All of these factors yield a prioritized list of
transportation improvements.
Projects are grouped into the following categories based on the type of improvement:
· Intersection, Signal & Intelligent Transportation System Projects;
· Non-Motorized & Transit Projects;
· Preservation Projects;
· Roadway Improvement Projects; and
· Preliminary Engineering & Miscellaneous Projects.
Each project is identified as a Capacity or Non-capacity improvement and those that are
located on a defined Arterial LOS Corridor (per Table 2-2 of the City’s CTP) are identified
accordingly. Capacity projects from the 6-year plan are incorporated into the CTP as Group A
projects. Longer term capacity projects are listed in the CTP as Group B Projects.
The TIP is proposed to be financially constrained for the entire six years covered by the TIP.
An interactive map of the projects included in the TIP is available on the City’s website:

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council to adopt Resolution No. 5673.
Background for Motion:
This Resolution provides City staff with the authority to complete the Notice of Intention
Information Packet required by the Boundary Review Board consistent with Chapter 36.93
RCW.
Background Summary:
Auburn City staff have previously briefed City Council on January 10 and April 18, 2022,
regarding the discussions between the City of Kent and the City of Auburn involving the
Bridges, which is located within the corporate boundaries of Kent, but surrounded entirely by
the City of Auburn. Over the years, community members have expressed an interest in the
de-annexation by Kent, and annexation by Auburn. The completion of this administrative
packet will allow the Boundary Review Board to begin its process, which may be anywhere
between 45 and 120 days, and which serves to inform stakeholders of a potential annexation.
During the review time, the cities will work together to engage in outreach efforts to explore
community interest in de-annexation of the Bridges from Kent and annexation to Auburn with
the results to be reported back to the City Council in the fall of 2022. Additionally, the cities of
Auburn and Kent will continue to work together to ensure that the Bridges infrastructure meets
appropriate regulatory requirements and maintenance standards, including the undeveloped
portions of the property. This is not a final annexation action.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AUBURN, WASHINGTON, AUTHORIZING STAFF TO
PREPARE AND FILE A NOTICE OF INTENTION WITH THE

WHEREAS, the cities of Auburn and Kent continue to, Consistent with Resolution
No. 2038, explore community interest in the de-annexation of the neighborhood known
as the “Bridges” (hereinafter “Property”) from the City of Kent and its annexation into the
City of Auburn under the annexation process provided for in RCW 35.10.217(2); and
WHEREAS, annexation does not formally commence until the City of Kent adopts
a resolution declaring the city’s intention to de-annex the Property and the City of Auburn
adopts a resolution declaring its intention to annex the Property. Once one resolution is
adopted, the other city finalizes the annexation by adopting its own resolution concurring
in the annexation. However, before any concurring resolution may be adopted, the cities
must file a Notice of Intention with the King County Boundary Review Board (“Board”) and
obtain the Board’s administrative approval of both the de-annexation of the Property from
Kent and its annexation to Auburn; and
WHEREAS, the Board’s administrative review may take anywhere between 45 and
120 days, though the Board and cities may agree to extend the Board’s review period if
such extension is needed; and
WHEREAS, obtaining the Board’s administrative review does not change the
deannexation/annexation process. The Property will only be de-annexed from the City of
Kent and annexed to the City of Auburn if both legislative bodies adopt the necessary
future resolutions required under RCW 35.10.217(2). Instead, the Board’s review will help

NOTES
1. Action documents: Action documents – ordinances or resolutions – may include a date for finalization
of the annexation, merger or incorporation. When planning the date of finalization, you are encouraged
to coordinate with the King County Office of Performance, Strategy and Budget. OPSB staff is
responsible for providing for transfer of public services from the County to the City. It is important that
OPSB have sufficient time to execute an orderly transition of services prior to finalization of the action in
order to ensure protection of public health and safety.
2. Legal Description:
All Notices of Intention must conform to the requirements prescribed by RCW 36.93.150 as follows:
“Review of proposed actions -- Actions and determinations of board -- Disapproval, effect.
The board, upon review of any proposed action, shall take such of the following actions as it deems
necessary to best carry out the intent of this chapter: (1) Approve the proposal as submitted. (2)
Subject to RCW 35.02.170, modify the proposal by adjusting boundaries to add or delete territory. .
. . However, a board shall remove territory in the proposed incorporation that is located outside of
an urban growth area or is annexed by a city or town . . . .”
All Notices of Intention must conform to the requirements prescribed by RCW 36.93.157 as follows:
“Decisions to be consistent with growth management act. The decisions of a boundary review
board located in a county that is required or chooses to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 must be
consistent with RCW 36.70A.020, 36.70A.110, and 36.70A.210. ”
All Notices of Intention must be based upon boundaries which conform to the Urban Growth
Area Boundaries. For detailed information concerning the Urban Growth Area boundaries please
see King County website.
Submittal of legal description for checking with the King County Engineer prior to filing a notice of
intention can save time because errors can then be corrected at that preliminary stage to avoid
delays in processing the formal Notice of Intention. For assistance in this, please call the King
County Road Services Division, (206) 296-3731.
3. Services: Proposed action(s) from those entities providing both sewer and water service must state
clearly whether this proposal is for water service, sewer service, or both.
4. Vicinity Map: The scale on any vicinity map must be adequate to permit anyone to locate the proposal
when driving to the area.
5. In cases of overlapping governmental jurisdictions, please prepare more than one map to indicate all
affected units of government.
For example, a map might be required to display sewer district boundaries, and a map may display
water district boundaries IF there is more than one purveyor within one-half mile of the proposal. If a
proposal lies entirely within any service district, such as a school district, the map should so indicate.
All maps must be original documents that are clear, legible, and suitable for reproduction. All maps
must be drawn at the same scale. Colored maps are preferred.
6. Assessor’s Maps: Assessor’s maps must be marked in a manner that ensures that details are legible
and understandable to the general reader. The Board may accept a map other than an Assessor's
map(s) if the use of Assessor's map(s) is impractical.
