II. ANNOUNCEMENTS, PROCLAMATIONS, AND PRESENTATIONS
A. Legislative Update from Representative Drew Stokesbary
Representative Stokesbary to brief the City Council on accomplishments
during legislative session.
Representative Drew Stokesbary reported the ongoing session of the
Washington State Legislature has been very successful. He stated the
proposed budget raises spending on education, reduces state college tuition,
adds additional funds to assist those with mental health issues and provides
grant funds to Auburn Youth Resources. They have also mostly completed a
transportation package for the completion of SRI67/SR512. Representative
Stokesbary also said they are working to give more revenue stability to cities
with revenue sharing from the sales of marijuana.
Mayor Backus stated the City of Auburn is truly appreciative of the support the
transportation package has received from the legislature.
Councilmember Wagner inquired as where to funds will come from to
replace the reduction in higher education tuition. Representative Stokesbary
explained the funds will be backfilled by the State of Washington's General
Fund.
Councilmember Wales expressed her appreciation for the additional funds

designated to education.
Councilmember DaCorsi asked if there was discussion on revitalizing
the Public Works Trust Fund Loans. Representative Stoksbery stated he
believes they will come back. The legislature realizes these loans are
important for the jurisdictions.
Councilmember Peloza asked for an update on the transportation of crude
oil by rail. Representative Stoksbery explained the State is limited on the types
of restrictions that can be placed on the transportation of crude oil by the
Federal government. The legislature passed a tax on oil brought in by train
and by pipeline and the companies that are transporting the oil are required to
show they have proper insurance.
III. APPOINTMENTS
There was no appointment for Council's consideration.
IV. AGENDA MODIFICATIONS
Updated information for Public Works Project No. CP1506 and Exhibit 5
to Ordinance No. 6566 were provided to Council.
V. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Public Hearings
1. Public Hearing for Right-of-Way Vacation V1-15 (Snyder)
City Council to conduct a public hearing on the City initiated vacation of
right-of-way located at the northeast corner of South Division Street and
2nd Street SE.
Engineering Aid Price explained the right-of-way proposed vacation was
dedicated for safe bus turning radius.
Additional intersection improvements have since been completed and the
right-of-way is no longer needed. The City expects to have better sight
distance, wider sidewalk and landscape areas and lower right-of-way
maintenance.
Mayor Backus opened the public hearing at 7:24 p.m. No one in the
audience addressed the Council, and the hearing was closed.
2. Public Hearing for 2015 Annual Action Plan (Hursh)
City Council to conduct a public hearing to receive public comments and
suggestions with regard to the 2015 Annual Action Plan.
Director Hursh explained the City is required to submit a five (5) year
plan and an Annual Action Plan as part of the Community Development
Block Grant process. The Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) developed new guidelines regarding how
the documents need to be provided. They now require the documents be
submitted in conjunction with King County's grant application. Due to the
fact that King County has not yet submitted their documents the City of
Auburn is unable to move forward with the program. The City still does
not have a contract with HUD due to the delay. The delay has hurt the
housing repair program. People who qualify for the program are not able
to receive repairs due to a shortage of available funds. The action plans
Page 2 of 7
have already been approved by Council but according to the new
deadlines and procedure these plans need to be approved again in this
format.
Councilmember Wales requested the City review the philosophy around
the requirements for grants from the City.
Councilmember DaCorsi confirmed the funds will be available to the City
once King County submits their application and there is not an expiration
date on the funds.
Mayor Backus opened the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. No one in the
audience addressed the Council, and the hearing was closed.

entities was 657 up from 636 in April 2015.
Auburn's Billable ADP for 2013 - 2015 reflects a continuing decline in billable

highest number in the member booking by agency, when the billable

explained the City of Auburn could book people into SCORE that are added to
other members billable population. Not everyone who is booked by the City of
Auburn necessarily counts for the population against the City.
