Interoffice Memorandum
To: Auburn City Council
From: Jamie Thomas, Finance Director
Joan Nelson, Utility Billing Services Manager
CC: Nancy Backus, Mayor
Date: October 9, 2023
Re: Solid Waste Rate Study
BACKGROUND
The City conducts a rate study for the Solid Waste Fund approximately every three years. This
study analyzes the current and estimated future costs required to operate the fund, and to determine
the revenue necessary to maintain services. From this study, new rates are proposed. The last rate
study was conducted in 2021 and new rates were established for 2021, 2022, and 2023. To smooth
rate increases to customers, $3 million in existing fund balance and a multi-year rate increase
approach were used to smooth the increases over time.
The need for rate increases in 2021-2023 were a direct result of the new contract with Waste
Management, which was effective October 1, 2021. The contract brought enhanced services, but
also came with increased costs since labor and equipment expenses had increased since the City
last negotiated a contract with Waste Management in 2011. In addition, the City transferred the
customer service and billing for solid waste to Waste Management.
RATE STUDY
With the final rate increase going into effect January 1, 2023, and continued increases in providing
solid waste services, it is time to conduct another 3-year rate study. The City hired Sound Resource
Management to conduct a solid waste rate study using their rate model and factoring the City of
Auburn’s projected costs and funding goals.
There are several cost drivers that were considered when building the rate model:
1. City Utility Tax of 11.5%
2. Annual King County Tipping Fee increases:
o 9.8% in 2024 (actual)
o 9.3% in 2025 (estimated)
o 9.5% in 2026 (estimated)
Page 16 of 119
Page 2 of 2
3. Annual contract increases with Waste Management that are tied to Annual CPI:
o 4.5% in 2024 (actual)
o 4% in 2025 (estimated)
o 3.75% in 2026 (estimated)
4. Additional $450,000 for enhanced city-wide litter and illegal dumping services
RATE PROPOSAL
Based on the increasing costs identified in the rate study and the City’s fund balance policies, the
proposed rate increases are as follows:
1. The first rate increase of 8.9% would become effective January 1, 2024;
2. The second rate increase of 7.0% would become effective January 1, 2025; and
3. The final rate increase of 6.7% would become effective January 1, 2026.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed rates are necessary to cover the increase in Waste Management service fees, the
projected King County Tipping Fee increases, and the projected CPI increases. The goal beyond
2026 is to continue setting smaller, more frequent rate increases to build more predictability and
stability for solid waste customers. City staff recommends the City Council adopt Ordinance 6920
so that the City can continue to maintain a healthy fund balance while providing dependable solid
waste services for residents and businesses.

Background
•New solid waste contract effective
October 1, 2021
•Substantial increase to contractor rates
•25% overall
•Residential rates increased 29%-48%
•Solid Waste Fund has been subsidizing a
portion of the cost increases resulting in a
fund balance reduction from 2021 – 2023
Page 19 of 119
Solid Waste Fund
•City sets the rates for residents and businesses
•Maintain fund balance target of 29 -44 days to cover operating costs
•Each service sector covers its own expenses
•Garbage service is mandatory
•Funds litter control services
•Two person WM crew
•Two M&O FTEs
•Contract for additional litter control
and illegal dumping in 2024
Page 20 of 119
Litter Services in Auburn
•Currently three separately managed crews (each two staff): M&O crew (City of
Auburn employees), WM crew, & separate litter control contract through the Real
Estate Division.
•M&O and WM crews currently funded by solid waste.
•The Real Estate crew was new in 2023 and funded with 1x funds from American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) – the funds are depleted by the end of 2023.
•Crews have different scopes of work, but having multiple crews allows for some
parts of the City to be cleaned more than one time per week.
•January-June 2023, crews have collected a total of over 220,000 pounds from City
right-of-way.

Rate Study Assumptions (continued)
8.Adequate Fund Balance
•Per policy and best practices, need to maintain a minimum fund balance of 8% and a
maximum of 12% of operating costs, or the equivalent of 29-44 days in reserves.
•Goal: Continue to build fund balance with smaller, more frequent rate increases to cover
annual CPI and tipping fee increases versus using fund balance and having large, but
infrequent increases.

Work Without a Permit: Building construction and grading activities requiring permits per

the standard application and permit fees identified in sections 3 and 4 above.
It is possible a violation existed prior to property purchase by a new owner, was
constructed by an individual who mislead the owner, or was constructed by an individual
who was unaware of code requirements. The fact that violations may not have been
created by the current owner does not relieve Code Enforcement staff from their
responsibility to seek compliance from the property owner. When assessing permit fees,
consideration may be given based on the circumstances, severity of the violation, and
timeliness of the property owner to resolve and obtain required permits and compliance

N. WAIVER OF FEES (Per Resolution No. 5181).
1. The Mayor is authorized to waive any fees for permits, licenses, publications and
actions as authorized by Sections 2.03.030, 5.10.030 and 12.60.020 of the City Code.
2. The Mayor is also authorized to reduce, and is vested with to discretion to reduce
in compelling cases, by up to 50% any fees for permits, publications and actions where the
applicant – the party responsible for payment of such fees – is an organization exempt from
taxation under 26 US 501(c)(3), and where the permit(s), publication(s) and/or action(s) relate
directly to the provision of charitable services to residents of the City of Auburn. Charitable
services are defined as events or services provided to the residents of Auburn free of charge and
where the City is a sponsor of the specific event or service. For the purposes hereof, “compelling
cases” mean instances where there is an extraordinary need (greatly beyond current and ordinary
need) for the charitable services that would be able to be provided. The intent of this authorization
is to empower the Mayor with sole discretion to waive some fees in unique situations where there
is a greatly increased need for new charitable services to be provided, and where the reduction
of fees to the City will not detrimentally impact the City’s ability to provide municipal services. This
waiver does not include Impact Fees, System Development Charges, any fees related to
Franchise or Public Way Agreements, Right-of-way Vacations, Right-of-Way Use Permits, Facility
Extensions, Police Department Fees, Animal Licensing Fees and Penalties, Banner Permit Fees,
or Cemetery or Parks fees.

Background Summary:
The Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA) was established in 2007 under RCW 52.26 as a
Fire Authority that serves the cities of Auburn, Algona, and Pacific. As a Fire Authority VRFA
operates as a separate municipal corporation, with independent taxing authority, and within an
independent taxing district.
While VRFA is a separate Fire Authority and is organizationally independent from the City of
Auburn, VRFA continues to have a role in reviewing development proposals and conducting
inspections during the construction process. Within VRFA it is the Fire Marshal’s Office that
performs these functions.
While VRFA has taxing authority within its jurisdictional boundary, tax payers do not fund all
services offered by VRFA. In some instances there are fees charged to customers who are
seeking direct service, e.g. a permit to construct a commercial building. In other words, permit
customers pay a substantial portion of the direct service they are seeking, as opposed to the
service being subsidized across the taxing district. Stated in yet another way, a residential tax
payer who pays a portion of their property taxes to VRFA is generally not providing a
significant level monetary contribution to a commercial real estate proposal or a new
residential subdivision.
Since the Fire Authority was established in 2007, VRFA has collected fees for reviewing
development plans and conducting construction inspections. In Auburn, VRFA fees are
collected by the City and distributed to VRFA. This practice was put in place in order to
ensure that Auburn could achieve a one-stop permitting shop. Instead of sending customers
to a VRFA office to pay fees and apply for separate fire permits, customers can submit, pay
and pick up permits at the City’s Permit Center. More times than not, the customer never
knows that they are interacting with, and paying, separate governmental entities.
Page 78 of 119
The 2024 VRFA fee schedule includes a general increase of fees by 5%, consistent with City
of Auburn development fee increases. This moderate increase remains well below the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) figure for the Puget Sound area and will maintain a fee schedule that
is markedly lower than comparable agencies.
While VRFA is a separate agency, with a separate Governance Board that has authority to
establish its own service fees, the Auburn City Council has a role in endorsing fees that are
collected by the City and distributed to other agencies (similar to Council’s role in reviewing
school district fees and taking action to authorize the collection of these external agency
fees). Typically, City Council would provide this endorsement through action of a Resolution
which then enables procedural efforts to occur that facilitate collection of the relevant fees
and fee types.
The materials attached have been prepared by VRFA.

EXHIBIT A
2.22.185 Metal Detecting
A. Metal detecting is permitted in any park during the hours when the park is open as
long as the activity does not interfere with reserved sports or activities or city-organized,
sports or activities or with the enjoyment of the park by other users. Metal detecting is

one edge of turf remains connected. The turf flap must be flipped back over
when the hole is refilled.
2. Not destroy or disturb park facilities, signs, equipment, natural features, or
historical or archeological resources.
3. Not remove any items that appear to have historical or archaeological
significance, and report such a find to a Department of Parks and Recreation

Narrative
Consejo: two narratives shared by agency case manager in which names have been changed for confidentiality reasons.
“Lupita Torres has advanced in the domestic violence program, from being able to strategize safety methods, knowing her legal rights to filing legal motions such as filing a protection order against an abuser. The progress made by Lupita, has been handed down as a helping hand to her daughter which of whom had been suffering from domestic violence herself. Safety measures employed by Lupita, and when speaking with her in regards to the safety plan, are always changing to conform to the safety of the victim. Lupita finds the safest plan to employ and uses those methods to keep herself and her family safe. Safety is no longer a factor, I as her advocate have to employ. She is constantly striving for a safer life and employs safety strategies to achieve that. Knowing legal rights, Lupita has been able to teach her daughter to not fall victim to an abuser’s torment. Teaching her daughter the right and wrong things to accept in a relationship. Breaking traditional biases, she is breaking the tradition of continuance of abuse in the predominant Hispanic community. Domestic violence strategies employed, by implementing a protection order. Lupita, in a crisis intervention, called the police, made a report, called for assistance to filling the protection order and then proceeded to acquire the Domestic Violence protection for her daughter. Lupita started out without knowing the strategies to a domestic violence dynamic, strategies to seek safety in a domestic violence situation, as well as her legal rights in this country. Lupita now employs domestic violence crisis intervention when needed, and shares her knowledge of domestic violence and safer living by breaking cultural stereotypes. Ultimately, Lupita now is able to begin the legal process for the domestic violence process, employ a safety plan in a time of crisis, and determine safe and unsafe behavior in an intimate relationship without the assistance of a domestic violence advocate.”
“VM came to Consejo with a DV case very disturbing for her and kids. She was so afraid of husband that she would be shaking if he was close to her. She was referred to mental treatment and start attending support groups. She was so overwhelm with the whole situation that she couldn’t even think on her own. She was also assisted to file an order of protection and eventually got divorced and now she is so much easier to work with. She is self-sufficient to the point that she can actually help her kids and guide them better. She still taking mental health therapy and is very content with her progress.”

Narrative
DAWN: A response shared from an anonymous client of DAWN services and support.
“Dawn Rising provides peace, comfort, and safety to women and children rebuilding their lives after experiencing domestic violence. There is a great deal of stigma around domestic violence and a certain shame for those relying on programs like Dawn to provide temporary housing for victims who choose to leave their partners. Dawn is a safe haven filled with an abundance of support, safety, and supplies. My children are well loved, well nourished, and protected at all times. The mothers residing at Dawn are not criminals, troublemakers, or agitators. We are victims of domestic violence and single mothers temporarily housed while navigating a complex system of benefits and resources…
Mothers and their children at Dawn are survivors; we are not here to endure blame, guilt, or shame for how we ended up here. Life at Dawn is empowering. My children have built strong relationships with the other children at Dawn because they see each other everyday, they share many similarities, and they help each other. My children are experiencing a cohesive love and support system every single day they are with me. They trust and respect every mother and staff member at Dawn. They look forward to seeing their friends and playing with them. There are times where we have gathered and shared meals with other families, there are times where my children and I spend quality alone time during meals, and many combinations in between. My support system at Dawn is the strongest its ever been. There is no shame or judgment if we pose a question or need help accessing resources for our families. Each mother here is guided by social workers and dedicated staff to navigate the complicated system of state benefits and federal programs that support domestic violence survivors and single mothers. We are a 100% sober community where no alcohol, marijuana, or recreational drugs of any kind are permitted on site. There are absolutely no weapons of any kind allowed on site. We have 24/7 access to staff members for emergencies and maintenance issues…
Dawn does not accept just anybody off of the streets onto the property. There is an intake and referral process carried out by social workers to determine the level of need and the compatibility with what the program offers. There is a structure to their program and safety protocols in place at all times to provide ease and comfort during times of transition. I wish to break the stigma of shelter-living and address victim blaming and the heartbreaking effects it has on survivors of all ages. If it weren’t for Dawn, I would be struggling to find steady footing to access basic necessities still to this day. Yet, I am now 6 weeks into my career training and excelling academically, my children are thriving in their school and being awarded for their outstanding behavior, and I still have the capacity and strength to fight for my rights as a Dee and Aris mother. My children are my world, every single minute of my life for the past 8 years has been dedicated to making them happy and comfortable. Dawn is not a barrier in my parenting, it is the opposite. Living at Dawn is temporary, my rights as a mother are not. I love my children with every last inch of my soul and I will dedicate my life to advocate for victim’s rights and equal opportunity parenting. The only threat to my children is removing them from their mother due to classism, victim blaming, and abusive use of conflict.”

Narrative
YWCA-Gender Based Violence Specialized Services:
“The Parenting and Life-Skills collaboration project has been a highly requested class by the mothers at our confidential housing. With economic distress, financial hardships, and intimate partner violence, being a parent can often feel like another stressor for our mothers. During the first weeks of the program, we have prioritized getting the mothers “back connected with self”. With the actualization that being a parent is such a core part of their identities, we want to grasp who our mothers perceive themselves to be aside from that. What were their goals, what do they wish to achieve, etc. We believe that, in understanding how our mothers view themselves, we will begin to slowly unpack how they view their parenting in the weeks that follow.
Advocates have continued to focus on next steps to improve protective factors that will aid survivors in their safety plans and address additional barriers with safe relocation plans, rental assistance, and other essential needs.
Our next steps hotel program has been a safe placement for survivors to rest, regroup and strategies with an advocate for immediate next steps to transition into safe low-income housing. Survivors are standing in resilience as they bounce back from the adversity with Violence.
We have stayed committed in keeping our focus population a priority. As African American survivors of GBV has been greatly impacted and unserved in our community. Many in need of safe housing, legal, advocacy, rental assistance or relocation support. Advocates have continued to focus on next steps to improve protective factors that will aid survivors in their safety plans and address additional barriers
With the Cities funding , we were able to provide those essential needs, providing culturally relevant trauma informed approach.”
