AUBURN TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT DISTRICT
2019 ANNUAL REPORT
(RCW 36.73.160.2)
DATED JANUARY 07, 2020
Pursuant to RCW 36.73.160.2, the Auburn Transportation Benefit District shall issue an
annual report, indicating the status of transportation improvement costs, transportation
improvement expenditures, revenues, and construction schedules, to the public and to
newspapers of record in the district.
The Auburn Transportation Benefit District was formed on September 19, 2011 with the
passage of Ordinance No. 6377 by the Auburn City Council. The Auburn Transportation
Benefit District was established in accordance with the statutory provisions of RCW 36.73
(Transportation Benefit Districts). Subsequent to its formation the Auburn Transportation
Benefit District Board has not, through its own authority or through voter approval,
implemented a funding mechanism(s) to make or fund transportation improvements
necessitated by economic development and to improve the performance of the
transportation system within the geographic boundaries of the District.
Subsequent to the formation of the Auburn Transportation Benefit District and prior to
December 2019, the Auburn Transportation Benefit District Board had not completed the
process to enact a fee or tax authorized pursuant to RCW 36.74 (Transportation Benefit
Districts). Therefore, and because throughout 2019 there was no funding source in place,
the Auburn Transportation Benefit District does not have any substantive report for the
calendar year 2019 for the status of transportation improvement costs, transportation
improvement expenditures, revenues and construction schedules.
On November 4, 2019, the Auburn City Council passed Resolution No. 5462 establishing
a public hearing date to consider the assumption of the rights, powers, functions and
obligations of the Auburn Transportation Benefit District. Public Hearing was held on
November 18, 2019 at the Auburn City Council meeting and no public comment was
received. On November 18, 2019, the Auburn City Council then passed Ordinance 6739
assuming the rights, powers, functions, immunities, and obligations of the Auburn
Transportation Benefit District.
Following Council acceptance of this Annual Report, it shall be made available to the
public and to newspapers of record within the District. Future annual reporting
requirements will be incorporated into the City of Auburn's Fiscal Reports.
