Councilmember Tracy Taylor said the work will provide salt facilities used to maintain Lake Tapps Parkway during inclement weather and will meet the terms of a previously approved boundary revision between Sumner and Auburn (Resolution 53-71). The resolution authorizes completion of the driveway improvements consistent with the earlier boundary adjustment.

The motion to adopt Resolution 58-44 passed by voice vote. The meeting transcript does not include contract dollar amounts, a detailed construction schedule, or whether Auburn will reimburse Sumner or the developer for improvements; the action authorizes the mayor to enter into the agreement described in the resolution.

Discussion versus formal action: council discussion described the functional purpose (improving driveway and salt facilities for winter maintenance) and referenced prior boundary-adjustment terms; the formal action was adoption of Resolution 58-44.

Councilmember Amer moved the resolution and said the agreement will allow the Office of Addiction Care (OAC) or a similarly named administrative body to retain extra administrative funds to support future youth services and to keep core administrative functions running. Amer said the city will retain the ability to amend section 6(f) of the agreement if needed.

The motion to adopt Resolution 58-46 passed by voice vote. The transcript does not include a dollar amount for Auburn’s share, nor an allocation schedule or a timeline for disbursement. The resolution authorizes the mayor to execute the interlocal agreement with King County as presented.

Discussion versus formal action: council discussion described an administrative‑funding provision and the ability to update the agreement; the formal action was adoption of the interlocal agreement resolution. No specific programmatic expenditures were approved at the meeting.

Background: the resolution implements a regional mechanism for distributing opioid settlement proceeds through King County; the Auburn action is an administrative step to accept funds once distributed by the regional agreement.","Auburn approved Resolution 58-46 to sign King County's interlocal agreement so the city can receive its share of opioid settlement funds; council discussion noted an administrative fund provision to support youth services.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6162000,"Auburn council adopts amended 2024 comprehensive water plan to reflect Bronwood water rights and Algona request",42,1317000,1359000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5439959-72db9ac8027030a6df82c378fa875196&start=1317&end=1359","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5439959-72db9ac8027030a6df82c378fa875196/thumbnail_1317000.jpg","/articles/6162000/Auburn/King-County/Washington/Auburn-council-adopts-amended-2024-comprehensive-water-plan-to-reflect-Bronwood-water-rights-and-Algona-request","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6162000-eda61235f18989d93ebf29c426d48752/orig.mp4?Expires=1770870200&Signature=Eyt70kdYntpxFq1gSjrt~mZ5HX2TFKLTWT5yif2lovwbV7oEHqT9hRtCU14Dj~oY~J5~GgZiw7riKLBP9QymJhIYFW2HqElpy-BcUZhvP45c4w0DvwuFSNIwm5pOFW4ikDs4Wi0onG~FDBA6ohKlbafeinU3kyltvIL153Hx-Ji0kBrU-FzSpb~P-LtBiqLPDTIFWm7uYUpmwClTCOpjwRZ6nCsR-QmwlC4LQl9pAVurGRUUtcg4BTyjL0EDzW9z1hRO1w-uBnBbd8aQN5bvZylbVqNsqh57nBW4h2K2GdhdwQ8pxgf-NK-2fo-e52LZe2M42ZWtYgOtVr3M6icN2w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Auburn City Council on July 21 adopted Ordinance 69-80 to amend the city's 2024 Comprehensive Water Plan (CWP), updating reference tables that describe water rights held for the Bronwood satellite water system and updating the city's reservoir storage analysis.

Councilmember Tracy Taylor moved the ordinance and said the amendments are required following a December 2024 CWP adoption and reflect a request from the city of Algona to purchase additional storage to meet that city's planning needs. The ordinance adopts the amended CWP prior to submittal to the Washington State Department of Health for final approval.

The council approved the ordinance by voice vote. The meeting record does not include specific dollar figures for the proposed storage purchase, nor a timeline for Algona's purchase or for the Department of Health review and approval.

Discussion versus formal action: council discussion explained the technical reasons for updating water-right tables and reservoir storage analysis; the formal action was adoption of ordinance 69-80. No motion to sell or transfer water rights or to execute a contract with Algona was recorded in the meeting minutes; the action adopted an amended planning document and sets the plan for state review.

Background: the city adopted its comprehensive water plan in late 2024 (Ordinance 69-60, Dec. 16, 2024); this amendment corrects and clarifies entries related to the Bronwood satellite system and reservoir storage calculations and incorporates consideration of an outside request for storage by Algona. The council did not set any follow-up public hearing or contract-approval date at the July 21 session.","Council adopted Ordinance 69-80 to amend the city's 2024 comprehensive water plan with updated tables describing water rights for the Bronwood satellite system and reservoir storage analysis; the amendment follows a request from the city of Algona to purchase additional storage.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6162005,"Auburn council approves code changes and expansion plan for automated speed cameras",350,1385000,1735000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5439959-72db9ac8027030a6df82c378fa875196&start=1385&end=1735","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5439959-72db9ac8027030a6df82c378fa875196/thumbnail_1385000.jpg","/articles/6162005/Auburn/King-County/Washington/Auburn-council-approves-code-changes-and-expansion-plan-for-automated-speed-cameras","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6162005-32ef29187ef07d2f89ce47792a7dc2b0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770870200&Signature=BMgWDlDqg1WkQK9CSfAB1Cu8imOWEcEK0w4F-sLAEX7cLZNA~Fm44emgdZLDx54otPRZA1fXWVa3I1iMHc~EZhcfGOwhdiIErLGg7Na6ks6TsjbHc1RsTnEbyD7Ztz20pA8cSuPRD0bNNeHGTqo5-xpn7v511r4dwoLe3-30OroeNpeuDCyBHCoaxSsXUwh7rRRlXfxiRQUlqPNBZYJErZ5V6IuZwZL59JppkiTMQKnGa-8gyed-RTsghNB8JEvrsQgZTw9Lk53l2pl~n2niWUD4kdkdfJs4ugKQbcr2IvnwtVgX1DZlhoMJuyvcQhQCdNoaETKTkCxRIurCRSUJtA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Auburn City Council on July 21 approved changes to city code and adopted a program expansion study to allow automated traffic safety cameras to enforce speed limits outside school zones and to expand the program to three specific locations.

The ordinance (No. 69-83) updates Auburn City Code chapter 10.34/10.42 to align local rules with recent state law changes and authorizes automated speed enforcement at locations that meet state requirements. The council also adopted Resolution 58-47, which affirms that the locations recommended in the city's 2025 program expansion study are consistent with state law and directs the city to proceed with the program study recommendations.

Councilmember Tracy Taylor, who moved the ordinance, said the changes align municipal code with recently updated state law and permit speed enforcement outside school zones where state criteria are met. Councilmember Baldwin noted the city will provide a 30-day warning period before any enforcement citations are issued so drivers in affected areas receive notice.

The expansion study identifies three locations recommended for speed enforcement: eastbound Auburn Way South between the R Street Southeast bridge and the Muckleshoot Plaza intersection; eastbound 15th Street NW between M Street NW and Ron Crockett Drive; and southbound A Street SE between 17th Street SE and 201st Street SE. Baldwin read the three segments aloud during council discussion.

Councilmember Clinton Taylor moved the resolution adopting the study and affirming legal consistency; the motion passed by voice vote. Council members spoke in support of the goal to “reduce and eventually eliminate serious injuries and fatal crashes” through expanded automated enforcement, language included in the resolution.

Discussion versus formal action: council discussion centered on aligning code with state law and the warning period; the formal actions were the adoption of ordinance 69-83 and resolution 58-47. No citations, fines, or enforcement schedules beyond the 30-day warning window were set in the meeting record.

Background: the changes follow a state law update referenced by council staff and are intended to permit automated enforcement at non‑school‑zone locations that meet statutory site-selection criteria. The council did not provide a date when enforcement would begin after the 30‑day warning period, nor was a citation fee schedule discussed or adopted in the session.

What happens next: staff will proceed with implementation steps described in the adopted study and ordinance, consistent with state law and with the advertised warning period prior to active enforcement.","The Auburn City Council updated city code to allow automated traffic safety cameras to enforce speed limits outside school zones and adopted a study recommending three new camera locations; councilors said a 30‑day warning period will precede enforcement.","actionData","errors"]
