AUBURN’S VISION FOR THE FUTURE: As a city of regional significance, proud of its small town heritage as well as the diversity of its people and neighborhoods, Auburn offers an opportunity
for people of all ages to enjoy life. CITY OF AUBURN MISSION STATEMENT To provide a service-oriented government that meets the needs of our citizens and business community through efficient
and professional management with responsive and accessible leadership.
February 1, 2011 Citizens of Auburn c/o City of Auburn 25 West Main Auburn, Washington 98001 Re: Transmittal of the 2011-2012 Adopted Biennial Budget Dear Citizens of Auburn: It is a
pleasure to present the City of Auburn’s Adopted Biennial Budget for 2011-2012. The budget is a policy guide, operations plan and a communications tool that describes the overall vision
of the Council and then allocates available City resources to a variety of community services and programs. Through the policy set by City Council, it anticipates the basic needs of
the City and our citizens’ overall quality of life. Information included herein presents a course of action that facilitates the City’s continuing development as a responsible, efficient
and effective government. The City continues to experience both opportunity and challenge. The current economic slowdown requires us to take a closer look at our business. Legislative
enactments have resulted in limitations in revenue growth over the past decade. One of the more significant issues the City needs to address in the future is how to deal with the effects
of voter-approved initiatives that limit future growth in revenues. The City has endeavored to maintain a positive development climate by living within its present revenue and by avoiding
such additional taxes and fees as an employee head tax and local B&O taxes. Still, the basic economic formula remains the same. City income is divided into three primary revenue sources
with property tax providing almost twenty five percent, sales tax providing nearly thirty percent, and grants, fees and other income types just under fifty percent. Economist’s state
that because of voter approved measures, by State law property tax revenues will grow at a rate of less than one percent. Sales tax revenues are forecasted to remain stable through next
year, and fees are at the maximum allowed by our Council. If income goes up less than the cost of living expenses, then the City must watch all revenues and expenditures closely. The
continued success of our many established businesses together with a variety of new businesses should continue to provide support for City services and public facilities in the coming
years. Further reduction in revenues from other sources and the impact of voter-approved initiatives places a priority on preserving as many programs and services as possible. Local
efforts, therefore, will be directed toward Public Safety and then exploring ways to maintain quality services. A major focus will be towards developing long-range forecasts of costs
associated with City services that are presently supported by general tax revenues to project the long-term impacts of decreases in revenue. In addition, the City will continue supporting
those economic development efforts that will show an economic benefit to the City in the form of new jobs and sales tax. In 2006, the City of Auburn also took another step toward implementing
the vision for quality, pedestrian oriented development, as outlined in the adopted Auburn Downtown Plan. Following a public hearing, the City Council adopted a Downtown Community Renewal
Plan in September 2006. The Community Renewal Plan, which is authorized by State law, provides the City with another tool in promoting the redevelopment of the Auburn Downtown, particularly
in the vicinity of the transit station. By adopting the Community Renewal Plan, the City will have more flexibility to address impediments to the growth of the Auburn Downtown. Situations
involving obsolete platting, multiple ownerships on a block or underutilization of land contribute to making the consolidation of property to achieve a larger high quality redevelopment
project Page 1
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Transmittal Letter difficult. The Community Renewal Plan provides a mechanism to help facilitate development in these situations if necessary. The City’s General
Fund continues to be budgeted conservatively. Expenditure budgets are thoroughly reviewed to maintain levels of service needed by our citizens. A portion of the carry over from prior
years has been used to sustain these service levels. At this time, it is anticipated that revenue will decrease from 2010 due to the current state of the economy. Expenditures will have
moderate decreases over 2010. The City froze 22 positions with the adoption of the 2009/2010 budget and cut an additional 63.5 positions during the 2009/2010 Biennial Budget cycle. This
was accomplished by a hiring freeze and two reductions in force. The City is currently in negotiations with all of its unions and the budget assumes no wage increases over the next two
years. The City will still need to utilize reserves to balance the budget. Every effort has been made to maintain an adequate ending fund balance in anticipation of continuing adverse
impacts of economic trends and possible regulatory change. The budget includes program improvements that, in most cases, are supported by offsetting revenue. Efforts are being made to
preserve the current programs that have been adopted in previous years. THE BUDGET PROCESS The 2011-2012 Biennial Budget is the culmination of a detailed process involving both City
staff and the City Council. Council has established a Citywide Vision and Goals. The departments, in developing the capital and program areas of the 2011-2012 Biennial Budget, used this
vision. Budget requests were developed jointly by Department Directors and the Mayor, and presented to Council committees for review. The desire is to maintain essential programs at
present levels of service, develop a workable strategy to achieve Council goals, recommend modifications to meet changes in the City's circumstances, and continue the responsible financial
management management of the City's resources. THE BUDGET DOCUMENT Auburn’s Vision and Mission Statements are highlighted in the budget document. These statements, developed jointly
by the Council and City staff, describe the City’s direction and priorities. The statements provide a framework for action and direct future activities and development within the City.
The 2011-2012 Biennial Budget format presents the budget as a policy and fiscal planning tool as well as a plan for the wise commitment of available resources. As in the past, departmental
quantitative and qualitative performance objectives are highlighted throughout the document. These objectives can be found in the Budget Policies (Section II) and by department in the
Operating Budget (Section IV) of this document. Each department section contains three measures that best show the program performance of their department. Organization of the budget
is intended to focus on the key policy issues involved in its development and present financial data in meaningful detail while portraying the full scope of the budget and City operations.
This Letter of Transmittal presents an overview, serves as an introduction, and sets forth the policy and strategic considerations involved in the budget’s preparation. The Budget Summary
(Section I) summarizes the 2011-2012 fiscal plan, presenting budget amounts as well as staffing trends by department. The Budget Process -Policies (Section II) describes the purpose
and process of the budget document. It also presents a summary of the policies implemented by the budget. This section identifies City issues, goals and planned initiatives. It includes
policies and priorities that were employed in budget development along with funding requirements. The Financial Plan (Section III) outlines the budget as a financial plan, focusing on
and analyzing the budget’s financial data to describe how City operations will be financed and how fiscal resources will be allocated to different functions and services. This section
presents an overall summary of both revenues and expenditures, including a discussion of General Fund revenue estimates and the basis of these estimates. Also included is a five-year
financial forecast of the General Fund based on the actions and policies of the budget. Page 2
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Transmittal Letter The Operating Budget (Section IV) details City operations on a department-by-department, fund-by-fund basis. Each department includes an
organizational chart, mission statement, current year accomplishments, and next year’s objectives. Also included are historical, current and future financial data, staffing and performance
measures by department. The Details (Section V) depicts a more detailed view of City operations. Program Improvements (Section VI) discusses the 2011-2012 program improvements that are
included in the budget. The Capital Program (Section VII) summarizes the City’s 2011-2012 Capital Facilities Plan. This section provides an overview of those projects budgeted in 2011
and 2012. For future plans in more detail, see the City’s 2011-2016 Capital Facilities Plan published as a separate document. 2011-2012 BIENNIAL BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS This biennial budget
builds upon past experience and past budgets to protect the sound financial condition of the City. It continues the initiatives of prior years with a priority placed on Public Safety
and an array of programs responding to community needs and instituting modest baseline adjustments that form the basis for maintaining current levels of service as the community grows
through natural expansion and annexation. Our Fiscal Condition The budget has been prepared with the objective of maintaining the City’s financial condition and facilitating achievement
of Council objectives. The General and Cumulative Reserve Funds include essential balances; other fund balances continue to be adequate. The Utility Funds have maintained healthy working
capital balances needed to perform extensive upgrades to the systems. Current economic conditions have impacted sales tax revenue estimates and are budgeted conservatively. The slight
increase reflects anticipated revenues from the sales tax credit that Auburn receives from the State from the newly annexed area of Lea Hill. The City’s sales tax revenues have also
been negatively impacted by the Streamlined Sales Tax legislation and will continue to be closely monitored should the State not be able to mitigate the effect as originally anticipated.
The City issued utility system revenue bonds totaling $21,295,000 in 2010 for projects relating to the combined water supply and distribution system, the sanitary sewage system and the
storm drainage system. Additionally, in 2010 the City issued $31,990,000 in GO bonds to be used for refunding the 1998 Library bonds; funding downtown infrastructure improvements and
to pay a portion of the City Hall Annex. In 2006, the City issued $5,160,000 in limited tax general obligation (LTGO) bond debt to construct a golf course clubhouse and complete a mausoleum/niche
wall project. In 2005, the City refunded a portion of the 1997 revenue and 1999 general obligation bonds and effectively reduced the annual interest cost. Refunding utility revenue bonds
were issued in the amount of $2,765,000 and refunding Airport GO bonds were issued in the amount amount of $1,375,000. The utility bonds enabled continued development of infrastructure
necessary for the City to provide utilities for growth and wholesale water to other communities in need of service, as well as to meet domestic water treatment standards and storm water
treatment system requirements. Revenues from utility sales will be used to repay related bond debt. The Airport limited tax general obligation bond was issued for the construction of
enclosed hangars and other improvements at the airport. All of the rental hangars were pre-leased prior to breaking ground. Other unmatured bonds previously issued Include: the 1999
GO Bonds, original issue of $2,551,600 for the Valley Com 911 Center that was refunded in 2010, reaching maturity in 2015 and the 2009 GO Bond of $26,732,850 used to construct the South
Correctional Entity (SCORE) facility. The City participated jointly with four other cities in the construction of the Valley Communications Center and is responsible for 20% of the general
obligation debt associated with the facility. In addition, the City in conjunction with six other cities established the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) to provide correctional services
and is responsible for 31% of SCORE debt service. The City enjoys an outstanding bond rating and a solid reputation within the financial community. Again, a fiscally responsible budget
is proposed for 2011-2012 to anticipate substantial unknowns in revenue stability. Page 3
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Transmittal Letter Sales tax revenue has been projected at $15,472,600 in 2011, including the Criminal Justice distribution, which is a decrease of 0.48% over
2010 budgeted sales tax revenue. Due to the economic downturn and implementation of streamlined sales tax, the City has not projected an increase in sales tax receipts as in past years.
Longer-term economic growth projections for the City continue to be positive, although reason for caution remains. The national financial crisis has affected the regional economy in
recent months. To ensure stability and continuing economic security, the City has maintained adequate reserves. In accordance with this strategy, the Cumulative Reserve Fund is budgeted
at $5.6 million in 2011, and the General Fund 2011 fund balance is budgeted at $6.4 million. Additionally, an insurance reserve of $2.3 million is maintained to meet litigation claims
and $2.7 million for the City’s obligations for health care and pension costs of firefighter LEOFF 1 retirees. Significant Budget Measures and Initiatives Careful financial planning
and management allows the City to continue meeting its goals through implementation of a coordinated strategy by: 1. Limiting new staff and reviewing replacement staff for essential
need, and limiting staff and new programs unless staff or program can fully support such growth either through new revenue generation or specific cost reductions. 2. Applying the fiscal
capacity of the City to meet potential future needs. 3. Using fund balance or working capital to finance capital equipment that maintains or enhances productivity. 4. Controlling optional,
discretionary expenses. 5. Providing adequate training, technology and tools to enhance productivity. 6. Maintaining a baseline of funding which continues to deliver high quality municipal
services with special attention to: a) Continuing support of growth management. b) Supporting effective law, safety and justice services. c) Delivering a diversity of recreational and
cultural programs. 7. Providing staff support and funding for street maintenance, repair and improvements to meet planning requirements and benefit from available funding opportunities.
8. Enhancing the capacity of infrastructure where funding opportunities exist by assigning priority to providing necessary matching funds. 9. Continuing operation of the City's enterprise
functions on a business basis. 10. Exploring all opportunities for economic development that will provide a return to the City of Auburn. 11. Exploring all opportunities for additional
services that can be supplied by the City for a fee that will result in a net positive revenue to the City, including any required personnel to deliver the service. Budget Status Since
effective fiscal planning is carried out on a multi-year basis, this budget should be viewed in the context of past budgets. Responsible fiscal management and the City’s current revenue
levels have enabled the City to support a baseline General Fund budget that responds to the City’s need need to provide quality community services at reasonable levels. The 2011 budget
allocates $203,375,808, and the 2012 budget allocates $147,921,880 among all budget functions and funds. General Fund revenue is anticipated to remain stable from $49,863,903 as budgeted
for 2011, to $49,252,800 in 2012 and anticipates that reserves will be reduced from previous high levels as revenues level off. A strong financial position is not the only objective
of responsible city government. The Council has developed
the future vision of the City. VISION 2016 The goals set the overall direction for the City and priorities for program support and development. The 2011-2012 Biennial Budget allocates
the City’s resources to achieve citywide goals. This program is facilitated by the budget and administered by the Mayor. As such, the goals set the direction of activity for the various
departments throughout the year. A ten year plan called “Vision 2016” was developed by the Mayor and City Council during the 2006 Council Page 4

of the City’s accomplishments. The City Council has established a vision for Auburn’s future. Building a bridge to that vision is our challenge as we move into the 21st Century—and continuing
dialogue with Auburn’s citizens and businesses is a firm foundation for that bridge. The 2011-2012 Biennial Budget for the City of Auburn represents a balanced approach to planning for
Auburn's future. It continues a reasonable level of service while maintaining the financial integrity of the City. The increase in residential development and an increasing population
are placing greater demands upon City services. Increases in programs must be managed carefully and brought on only as revenues become available. Every opportunity to Page 6
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Transmittal Letter increase revenue from sales tax must be explored and careful consideration given to each possibility. The City, businesses and individual
citizens must work hand-in-hand for all of us to succeed. The City is presenting a conservative, balanced budget that meets the basic service requirements for Auburn’s citizens and businesses.
The objective, as always, is to provide a reasonable level of service to the Auburn community within the framework of fiscal integrity and sound financial management. Auburn is a special
place to live, a home of over 68,200 people who still believe it is a small town. This is a challenge for all of us, and we will find solutions that make sense for Auburn by working
together as we have always done. Sincerely, Peter B. Lewis Mayor Page 7

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section 1: Budget Summary Financial Structure of the City Budget The City of Auburn’s accounting and budget structure is based upon Governmental Fund Accounting
to ensure legal compliance and financial management for various restricted revenues and program expenditures. Fund accounting segregates certain functions and activities into separate
self-balancing ‘funds’ created and maintained for specific purposes (as described below). Resources from one fund used to offset expenditures in a different fund are budgeted as either
a ‘transfer to’ or ‘transfer from’. The City of Auburn budget is organized in a hierarchy of levels, each of which is defined below: Fund A fund is an accounting entity used to record
the revenues and expenditures of a governmental unit which is designated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives. For example Fund 102, the
Arterial Street Fund, is designated for the purpose of maintaining the arterial streets within the City. Department Department designates a major department of the City operations, e.g.
Public Works and Parks and Recreation. Program A specific distinguishable line of work performed by the department, for the purpose of accomplishing a function for which government is
responsible. For example, “Traffic Control” is included within the Street Funds. Object The appropriation unit (object of expenditure) is the level of detail used in the budget to sort
and summarize objects of expenditure according to the type of goods or services being purchased, e.g., salaries, supplies. FUND DESCRIPTIONS Governmental Fund Types General Fund – The
General Fund is the City’s primary fund that accounts for current government operations. This fund is used to account for all resources not required to be accounted for in another fund.
The General Fund supports police protection, parks and recreation, planning and economic development, general administration of the City, and any other activity for which another type
of fund is not required. Special Revenue Funds – Special Revenue Funds are used to account for revenues which are legally or administratively restricted for special purposes. These funds
receive revenues from a variety of sources, including Federal and State grants, taxes, and service fees. These revenues are dedicated to carrying out the purposes of the individual special
revenue fund. The City currently has eleven Special Revenue Funds. Examples of restricted revenues that must be spent on specific purposes are gas tax revenues, federal and state grants
for transportation, community development block grants, forfeited drug funds, business improvement assessments, hotel/motel tax and mitigation fees. Debt Service Funds – Debt Service
Funds account for resources used to repay the principal and interest on general purpose long-term debt not serviced by the enterprise funds. These funds do not include contractual obligations
accounted for in the individual funds. Capital Project Funds – Capital Project Funds pay for major improvements and construction. Revenues for capital funds are derived from contributions
from operating funds and bond proceeds. These revenues are usually dedicated to capital purposes and are not available to support operating costs. The City has three Capital Project
Funds. Page 12
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section 1: Budget Summary Permanent Funds – These funds report resources that are legally restricted to the extent that only earnings, and not principal, may
be used for purposes that support the programs. The City has one permanent fund, the Cemetery Endowed Care. Proprietary Fund Types Enterprise Funds – Enterprise Funds are used to account
for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to business enterprises. They are established as fully self-supporting operations with revenues provided primarily from
fees, charges, or contracts for services. The City maintains eight Enterprise Funds to account for the operations of Water, Sewer, Storm, Solid Waste, Airport, Cemetery, Commercial Retail
and the Golf Course. Internal Service Funds – Internal Service Funds are used to account for operations similar to those accounted for in Enterprise Funds, but these funds provide goods
or services to other departments on a cost reimbursement basis. The City maintains four Internal Service funds to account for information services, facilities, fleet management and self-insurance
activities. Fiduciary Funds -Fiduciary, or Trust Funds, are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity and cannot be used to support the City’s own programs. These
include pension trust, investment trust, private-purpose trust, and agency funds. The City’s pension trust fund is the Fire Relief and Pension Fund and is budgeted on the accrual basis
of accounting where revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred. The City’s agency fund is custodial in nature and is not budgeted. The City does not
have any investment trust funds or private purpose trust funds. Page 13

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section 1: Budget Summary General Fiscal Environment Effective budget and financial policies are developed gradually over a period of time in response to longterm
fiscal and social-economic conditions. Accordingly, although this document responds to the City’s financial policy, framework has been developed in response to multi-year fiscal pressures.
General Fund Auburn’s economy is generally cyclical following the economic cycles of the surrounding region. However, the economic down periods in the cycles have generally been less
severe for Auburn than for other municipalities in the region due to the relatively stable nature of Auburn’s economy. Economic cycles are not the only determinants of revenues for municipal
budgeting. Even with an up sloping economy, laws that determine who pays taxes and how much they pay can also have a major impact. The Washington State Legislature has adopted several
pieces of legislation, which have limited the ability of local governments to increase increase revenues and future taxing ability. Most recently the State adopted Streamlined Sales
Tax laws, which reallocates tax revenue from the source of the transaction to the destination. While Auburn’s economy remains diversified, these exemptions have impacted Auburn’s revenues.
Although inflation is controlled, these altered revenue sources are having, and will continue to have, a substantial impact on Auburn’s budget. Other significant concerns for the future
are the demand for services. In particular, public safety services will increase with continued development and recent annexations. Residential construction continues, but at a much
slower pace than in the previous years. Development continues in the Lakeland (South) area of the City and the newly incorporated areas of Lea and West Hills. Furthermore, due to mandatory
sentencing guidelines required by the State, we have experienced over a 100% increase in the care and custody of prisoners in the past few years. Alternatives to incarceration are being
used, such as increasing the Home Monitoring Program and utilizing drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. These programs appear to be having a positive effect on incarceration costs,
yet come with cost themselves. The General Fund must be budgeted and monitored very carefully during this period. Passage of voter approved initiatives and other pending voter initiatives,
can negatively impact the general fund. Severe downturns in the recent economy have drawn heavily on the reserves built in previous years. The City is employing strong fiscal management
in this budget to maintain adequate reserves yet maintain levels of service to citizens. Service levels may need to be visited in the interim if the downturn in the economy continues
or deepens. Current and Potential Legislative Action There have been several legislative actions at the state level that have permanently reduced sales tax revenues for the City of Auburn.
This legislation and other pending legislation, including federal legislation, are summarized below, along with potential impacts on Auburn’s revenue. Sales Tax Exemption on Purchase
and Lease of Manufacturing Equipment, Retooling of Manufacturing Equipment, and General Research and Development (1995) Legislation was passed to exempt the purchase and lease of manufacturing
equipment from state and local sales taxes. The next year further legislation was enacted exempting sales taxes on research and development and on the retooling of manufacturing equipment.
The impact of this legislation had been offset by a local strong economy and low unemployment rates. Initiative 695 In November 1999, the voters of Washington State approved Initiative
695, which repeals the State’s long standing motor vehicle excise tax (MVET) and requires future voter approval of tax and fee increases Page 15
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section 1: Budget Summary proposed by state, county and local governments. The ruling was upheld on appeal at the Washington State Supreme Court. The loss of
the MVET eliminated an average of $750 million annually as a funding source for local governments, transit systems and state transportation projects. The loss of MVET revenues was approximately
2% of total General Fund revenues. During 2000, State funding was provided to assist in the revenue losses. The City of Auburn received approximately $200,000 in 2001 and 2002. Early
in 2003, the State discontinued this funding assistance. Initiative 747 One of the largest losses to City revenue is due to I-747 which limits property tax increases to the lesser of
1% or inflation. I-747 was passed by Washington State voters in November of 2001. This measure was declared unconstitutional by the King County Superior court on June 13, 2006. In November
2007, the State Supreme Court decision was to overturn I-747. Following this decision, the Washington Legislature approved House Bill 2416 reinstating the provisions of I-747 retroactively
to 2002, restoring the one percent limit on property tax increases. Initiative 776 The voters approved this initiative in the fall of 2002 to repeal the $15 local option vehicle excise
tax levied in King, Snohomish and Douglas counties. The voters of these counties initially approved this tax and there was argument whether a statewide vote could repeal a local voted
tax. After several court cases and subsequent appeals the state Supreme Court upheld the initiative. The loss to the City street program is approximately $450,000 annually. Streamlined
Sales and Use Tax (SST) In 2003, the Legislature enacted Senate Bill 5783 to adopt several provisions of the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement. The agreement attempts to create
a Sales Tax collection system that is uniform across all States. Washington State changed from a point of sale collection process to a point of delivery collection process in July 2008.
Analysis shows the City of Auburn is losing $2 million per year, which is currently mitigated by the State. Key Issues Affecting the 2011-2012 Budget Process As is the case with most
cities, one of the major issues is the funding of our streets’ transportation system. While the City has enjoyed an increase in population growth and commercial and residential construction
projects, the ability to provide ongoing preservation and maintenance of our system becomes more difficult, due to the sizable investment needed on an ongoing basis. Gridlock exists
along the major arterials of the City due primarily to a failing state highway system that has inadequate capacity for commuter traffic and forces traffic on to the City arterials. Transit
stations have been constructed in valley downtown areas to help alleviate transportation gridlock on our highways. The City placed a proposition on the November 2004 ballot asking voters
to increase the property tax levy lid for six years. This proposition was successful and the the additional funds are being used to support a local street improvement program. The City’s
fiscal planning effort over the past several years has included efforts to accumulate reserves necessary for the City to weather a moderate recession. The City decreased staffing and
reduced spending in order to maintain its reserves through this recession. This has allowed the Cumulative Reserve Fund to be maintained at around the $5.6 million dollar level. The
Auburn Community The City of Auburn is located in southern King County and northern Pierce County, the two most populous counties in the State. It is strategically located in relation
to the labor and consumer markets of these two metropolitan counties. The City serves approximately 67,000 people within its incorporated Page 16
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section 1: Budget Summary limits, and another 25,000 to 30,000 people who reside in the adjacent unincorporated area considered to be within the Auburn community.
The City of Auburn was incorporated in 1891 and operates as a noncharter code city under the laws of the State. According to the King County Assessor’s Office the City’s total assessed
valuation for tax roll 2011 is $7,544,294,006. This is lower than 2010 assessed valuation mainly due to changes related to the Boeing Company’s property valuations. In 2010, the City
employed 407.5 people (on a full-time equivalency basis) providing a full-range of municipal services. These services include: police protection, municipal court services, parks, arts
& recreation services, land use management and development regulation, street maintenance and construction, water services, sanitary sewage collection, storm drainage management, solid
waste collection, a general aviation airport, a municipal cemetery, and a golf course. The City’s water and sewage utilities also serve large areas of the adjacent unincorporated area.
Other local governmental services are provided by other governmental entities serving the Auburn area, and these services are not included in Auburn’s budget. The Auburn School District
provides public educational services
to the City. Green River Community College is located inside the City limits. King County provides solid waste disposal, public transportation, regional sewage treatment, property assessment
and tax collection, some judicial services, public health services, and other county services to the City and its residents. The King County Housing Authority, for the most part, provides
housing services. Sound Transit provides commuter rail service in the Puget Sound region, with a train/bus station located in the City of Auburn. Retailing has also become a significant
factor in Auburn’s economy. Auburn has been a center for automotive sales for many years. Currently in 2010, automotive sales represent 20.4% of total sales tax collections. In previous
years the City has experienced tremendous growth in the sale of wholesale durable goods, which currently represents 9.1% of total sales tax collection. Growth surrounding the SuperMall
of the Great Northwest continues. Two of the major sources of sales tax in 2010 are from retail sales at 28.6% and services at 27.8% of total sales tax collections. New home construction
continues. Major developments are in the planning stages and include Kersey 3 near Lakeland with 400 homes; Robertson Properties on the current drive-in theater site, which will include
a mix of retail, office and housing. Other Funds The most significant issue for the proprietary funds (which account for the activities of the City utilities, cemetery, golf course,
and airport) over the past several years has been ensuring that these entities are selfsufficient and needed capital projects are accomplished. The Water, Sewer and Storm funds are issuing
revenue bonds in late 2010. This will increase their working capital temporarily until the construction projects associated with the bonding are completed. The Les Gove Neighborhood
Improvements project was completed for all utilities in 2010. The Water Fund working capital has been reduced as capital construction projects are completed. Wholesaling water to neighboring
communities is an important part of the water utility. The City fully supplies water to a neighboring city in addition to supplementing the supply of water for three other jurisdictions.
Water utility rate increases will take effect each January 1, through 2014 to fund the capital program. The Sanitary Sewer Fund working capital has been reduced as capital construction
projects are completed. Sewer rates are evaluated to be sure future capital and operational costs are covered. Sewer utility rate increases will take effect each January 1, through 2014
to fund the capital program. The Storm Drainage Fund completed the Peasley Canyon Culver Replacement project and has many projects proposed in the the 11-12 budget. Working Capital has
been reduced as capital construction projects Page 17
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section 1: Budget Summary are completed. The storm drainage utility will continue to implement requirements of the NPDES phase II permit. Storm utility rate
increases will take effect each January 1, through 2014 to fund the capital program. The Golf Course Fund has reduced working capital while providing facility improvements and upgrades
over the past several years. In 2007, construction of a new Clubhouse which includes a restaurant was completed. Greens fees were increased regularly over the last few years to cover
the cost of operations. Page 18

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section 1: Budget Summary Staffing Trends The opposite page presents the current and past staffing as allocated by funding to the various City departments.
The second table presents departmental staffing on the basis of the City’s administrative structure. As can be seen, the City’s staffing had steadily increased from 2002 to 2008. This
increase was due to continued development and increased population. In 2007, two events took place that affected the staffing levels in Auburn. First was the creation of the Valley Regional
Fire Authority. When the Authority was created the Fire and EMS personnel became Valley Regional Fire Authority personnel. This resulted in a decrease of 82 personnel. The second event
that took place at the end of 2007 was the annexations of Lea Hill and West Hill into the City of Auburn. As a direct result of the annexations, the City added a total of 56 positions
in the 2008 budget. As the population of Auburn increases, so does the demand for additional staffing in areas directly affected. The two areas that are most affected are public safety
and some administrative service functions. In public safety, increased staffing is needed not only to keep up with increased call demand, but also to maintain the City’s existing level
of service in police. With the increase in population due to the annexations and the increase of police officers, comes the increased caseload for the court, having an impact on both
the court and legal department. Of the 56 positions, 22 positions were for police officers and support staff, 4 staff positions were Court and 2 staff positions were Legal. In 2009,
staffing was decreased as a direct result of the recession by eliminating vacant positions and two reductions in force one in May and one in December. The decrease in staffing levels
in 2011 is due to the creation of the multi-jurisdictional South Correctional Entity (SCORE) in 2010. Effective January 1, 2011, all city correctional staff will become SCORE personnel.
As seen in the following graph, the number of employees per 1,000 citizens has been reduced in recent years. This is due in part to revenue restrictions, and to improved operations.

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section II: Process/Policies SECTION II: PROCESS/POLICIES Organization The City has a “strong mayor” form of government as organized under the Optional Municipal
Code as provided in state law. The independently elected Mayor is responsible for all administrative functions of the City and all of the department directors report to the Mayor. The
City Council exercises legislative and quasi-judicial functions. All seven members of the City Council and the Mayor are elected at large for four-year terms. Since 1998, the City has
had an elected Judge. This position is also elected at large and serves a four-year term. The Mayor develops and proposes the budget while the Council reviews and requests modifications,
as it deems appropriate. The optional municipal code confers a limited form of “home rule” to those municipalities organized under its provisions. Basis of Budgeting The City prepares
its biennial budget in accordance with Optional Municipal Code 35A.33 of the Revised Code of Washington. Biennial budgeting has been permitted for Washington cities since 1985 and allows
cities to adopt a twoyear appropriation. An appropriation represents the city’s legal authority to expend funds. Traditionally, the appropriations have been for one-year terms. State
law has extended this legal authority so that a city’s legislative body may approve an appropriation, or budget, for a two-year term. Currently, an annual budget means that every other
budget is developed in the context of elections for many of the policy makers. By design, the city biennial budget is considered in non-election years, as the biennium must begin in
odd-numbered years. The most common reason for using a twenty-four month appropriation is the time savings in both the budget development and approval process. This is true of staff
time invested in preparing the budget as well as the time Council spends during the approval and adoption phases. While it does take more time to prepare a twenty-four month budget than
one for the traditional twelve months, the additional time spent is not as significant as preparing two annual budgets. As a result, over the two-year period, there is a substantial
time savings. This time savings allows staff and Council to focus on long-range strategic planning. The concept of
a two-year appropriation is straightforward. Rather than a twelve-month window during which the appropriated funds can be legally spent, a biennium provides for a twenty-four month window.
The two-year budget provides an opportunity to widen the planning horizon and allow more long-term thinking to be part of the financial plan that the budget represents. However, there
may also be concerns about spending portions of the budget earlier in the biennium than had been planned. For this reason, many cities have adopted variations of a biennial budget. One
approach is to adopt two, one-year budgets. This is the method that the City of Auburn has chosen. The requirements for preparing an annual budget and a biennial budget are similar.
similar. One distinction is that a “midbiennium review” is required with a biennial budget. The purpose of this review is to make adjustments to the budget or essentially, a tune up.
This review is not intended to become another complete budget process in itself. The midbiennium review begins September 1st and is to be completed by the end of the first year of the
budget. All governmental fund type budgets are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The budget for
proprietary funds is prepared on an accrual basis, also in accordance with GAAP. The legal level of budgetary control where expenditures cannot exceed appropriations is at the individual
fund level. Revisions that alter the total expenditures of any fund must be approved by the City Council and adopted by ordinance. All appropriations lapse at the end of each year. Page

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section II: Process/Policies Budget Purpose The City of Auburn’s budget seeks to achieve four basic purposes: A Policy Tool The City’s budget process is conducted
in a manner that allows the City’s policy officials to comprehensively review the direction of the City and to redirect its activities by means of the allocation of financial resources.
On this basis, the budget sets policies for the following year. This budget also facilitates the evaluation of City programs by providing a means to examine both the financial activities
and the progress towards performance objectives of City departments over time. An Operations Guide This budget provides financial control by setting forth both legislative and administrative
guidance to City employees regarding the character and scope of their activities. This direction is set forth in both summary and detail form in the various products of the budget process.
A Financial Plan This budget outlines the manner in which the financial resources of the City will be managed during the budget process. This allocation of resources is based on both
the current needs and on a longer-term view of the development of City programs. The budget takes into account unforeseen contingencies and provides for periodic adjustments. As a Communications
Medium A budget cannot be effective unless it communicates. Since this budget has a diverse audience, it seeks to communicate at several levels and for several purposes. This budget
seeks to communicate clear policy at a usable level of detail to City employees. It also seeks to communicate significant policy issues and options in a form that can be acted on by
policy officials. It also seeks to provide information to the City’s constituents that enables meaningful dialog with elected officials. Budget Process The City of Auburn’s budget process
meets these purposes by integrating the planning and implementation of City programs with the allocation of financial resources necessary to support those services. The budget process
starts in early spring, of each even numbered year, with a retreat for the City Council and Mayor who meet to review the Vision and Mission Statement as well as the previous year’s goals
and objectives. At that retreat, Council and Mayor discuss such issues as staffing, emerging topics and program priorities. Then during the summer, departments develop their budgets
and objectives that are described in the operating budget for biennium. These objectives include capital projects scheduled for construction in the Capital Facilities Plan (CFP). Generally,
most departments use a “bottom-up” approach to budgeting, with divisions or other administrative units developing their objectives along with identifying their fiscal requirements. These
divisional budgets are then modified for integration into department objectives and budget proposal. During the summer, these tentative budget proposals are submitted to the Mayor. At
the same time the Finance Department develops a tentative revenue projection for the following budget cycle. The Mayor and Finance Director along with each department director review
the budget in detail. On the basis of this process, the Mayor formulates his recommended budget for the following year. In September, the City Council holds a public hearing to solicit
comments from the general public regarding issues for the City to consider during its review of the budget. This hearing is held early in the process in order to afford the public an
opportunity to comment before the budget takes a formal shape. At the same time the Mayor is reviewing the department proposals, the departments present their budget proposals in detail
to appropriate committees of the Council. Page 39
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section II: Process/Policies The Mayor’s recommendations for the next budget cycle are formally transmitted to the Council in the form of the Preliminary Budget
during the month of October. During November, the Council holds a second public hearing on the preliminary budget and conducts workshops to examine the budget in detail. The Council
conducts a preliminary budget hearing before acting formally on the budget as modified during its workshop hearings. Final adoption of the budget, by ordinance, usually occurs in early
December. The entire process is coordinated, as needed, in regular meetings of the City department heads, chaired by the Mayor. Various Council committees are consulted continually through
the year as potential issues surface and new program ideas incubate. Budget Structure The budget process results in various budget products at appropriate stages of the process. Budget
and Accounting System The official budget is maintained, both before and after adoption, on the City’s financial management and accounting system at a very detailed line item level.
Computerized reports may be generated at any time and at various levels of detail. Departments can also access these budgets at any time on a readonly inquiry basis to compare actual
revenue and expenditures to their budgets. This computerized budget becomes the accounting system that controls expenditures after adoption of the final budget. Preliminary Budget The
Preliminary Budget is prepared, pursuant to State law, as the Mayor’s budget recommendations to the City Council. This public document contains a summary of information at the fund level,
and for the General Fund at the department level. It focuses on key policy issues, while still providing a comprehensive overview of the complete budget. Budget Ordinance The actual
appropriations implementing the budget are contained in the budget ordinance adopted by the City Council. Final Budget The Final Budget is issued as a formal published document as modified
by the City Council. It is this document which is formally filed as the Final Budget. Programs While the budget proposals of the administration are developed in concert with the fiscal
proposals in the budget, the budget documents themselves only summarize the individual objectives and performance measures. Generally, these programs are not finalized until the budget
is in final form since the budget will determine the actual activities undertaken by each department. Components of the Budget The budget consists of three parts: operating budget, program
improvements, and capital budget. Operating Budget The operating budget consists of departmental budget proposals, which would be sufficient to maintain the objectives set by the departments
to meet Council goals. Program Improvements Program improvements consist of new initiatives or substantial changes to existing programs. Page 40
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section II: Process/Policies Capital Budget The capital budget authorizes and provides the basis of control of expenditures for the acquisition of significant
city assets and construction of capital facilities. Separation of the budget into these three components separates key policy issues in order to facilitate their consideration. The policy
officials can examine the level at which existing programs should be funded, what program improvements should be made and at what level of funding. Capital Planning The Capital Facilities
Plan (CFP) was originally adopted as an element of the City Comprehensive Plan that provides the City’s plans to finance capital facilities that will be needed during the next 20 years.
The CFP includes both longrange strategy and a specific six-year plan of projects. The CFP is maintained and reports are published separately from the budget. The Capital Budget, in
this budget document, includes a summary of the projects and their appropriations for the upcoming biennium. For more detailed information see the six-year Capital Facilities Plan. Implementation,
Monitoring and Amendment The budget and its policies are implemented through the objectives of individual departments and accounting controls of the Finance Department. Progress in the
implementation of the budget is monitored by a monthly reporting system consisting of monthly reports to the Mayor from the department heads on the progress of departmental objectives
and performance measures. The reports are then summarized into a monthly report by the Mayor to Council. In addition, each department prepares detailed quarterly and annual reports on
their goals and performance measures. Implementation of the budget is further monitored by the oversight activities of various City Council committees, which meet twice monthly to not
only consider proposals before the City Council, but also to review the activities of the various City departments. Both the report function of the Finance Department and the oversight
function of the Finance Committee of the Council include the status of the fiscal management policies of the budget. The financial aspects of the budget are monitored in periodic reports
issued by the Finance Department comparing actual expenditures and revenues with the budget. In these reports, financial data can be presented at a higher level of detail than the final
budget. These reports include an analysis of the City’s financial condition. From time to time it becomes necessary to modify the adopted budget. The procedure for amending the budget
depends upon the type of change that is needed. One type of change does not affect the “bottom line” total for a department or a fund. These changes, mainly transfers from one line-item
to another within a department’s operating budget or changes between divisions within a department may be effected by the Mayor and the Finance Director with written request from the
department director. The second type of budget amendment brings about a change in the total appropriation for a department or fund. Examples of these changes include but are not limited
to the following: the acceptance of additional grant money, an adjustment to reflect increased revenues such as tax receipts, the appropriation of additional funding if expenditures
are projected to exceed budgeted amounts, and re-appropriation of monies from one fund to another when deemed necessary. These changes require council approval in the form of an ordinance.
The status of the budget is comprehensively analyzed during the mid-biennial review and periodically through each year to identify any needed adjustments. All requests for amendments
are first filed with the Finance Department. Page 41
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section II: Process/Policies BUDGET POLICIES This section of the budget sets forth the objectives of the budget as a policy document together with a description
of the basis of the policy. Policy Context of the Budget The City budget process is part of an overall policy framework that guides the services and functions of the City. The budget
serves a key role in that policy framework by allocating financial resources to the programs, which implement the City’s overall policies. The budget also establishes financial policies
to influence the availability of future resources to carry out the City’s policies. This budget is a balanced budget with legal budgetary control at the fund level; i.e., expenditures
and other financing uses may not exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level. The City’s basic policy document is its Comprehensive Plan. This plan sets the basic vision for the
development of the City and establishes policies and programs intended to achieve that vision. The plan is further articulated by a series of planning elements, which include capital
improvement elements (such as utility plans), policy elements (such as housing plans, economic development programs, etc.) and regulatory measures. According to state law the Comprehensive
Plan is amended annually to incorporate changes in policies or programs. In addition to the Comprehensive Plan, the City has also developed an Emergency Operations Plan. CITY POLICY

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section II: Process/Policies Budget Policy Development The budget process is linked to this policy framework by the development of Council Goals. The citywide
goals guide departmental objectives funded by the budget, which govern the activities of various departments in the implementation of the policy. The Capital Facilities Plan, which is
derived from the Comprehensive Plan, is funded in the budget process. Budget policy development involves several distinct steps. This policy starts with an understanding of needs and
issues, describes explicit policies governing the development and management of financial resources, identifies broad goals, sets objectives with which to apply available funding, and
concludes with specific funding proposals. In assessing issues and needs, this policy builds on actions taken in previous budgets, thereby providing continuity with previous programs.
This allows community needs to be addressed on a multi-year basis, rather than attempting to satisfy all needs in one year. Explicit budget policies are statements, which describe how
financial resources of the City are obtained (various taxes, fees, rates, etc.) together with how they are allocated, managed, and controlled. The Council goals are broad policy statements
that outline the significant objectives of the City. Budget objectives are policy statements summarizing the actions that are to be implemented in the budget. These budget policies result
from an ongoing process of economic and financial analysis by the Finance Department. The periodic financial reports, which are routinely reviewed by the Mayor, Council and Finance Committee,
monitor progress against this analysis. The development of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) is also an important part of the analysis process. The financial management
policies result from combining the above analysis with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Financial Management Policies The following policies guide the manner in which
the budget develops, allocates, manages and controls financial resources available to the City. These policies are goals that the City seeks to achieve in its decision-making. However,
since fiscal conditions and circumstances continually shift and change in response to operating needs, it may not be practical or always desirable to continually achieve these policies.
Therefore, these policies are intended to guide, not govern, financial decision making and may not be fully achieved within any given budget period. Operating Policies 1. The City should
accept ongoing service obligations in new areas of programming only when adequate funding is available. 2. Indirect administrative costs associated with the operation of funds should
be identified and charged against the operation of those funds. 3. The City’s role in social service funding shall continue to be supplemental (addressing special or unique local needs)
to the basic responsibilities of regional agencies. 4. The City shall continue to advocate that the responsibility for funding basic social service needs rests with regional (or broader)
agencies that have access to a broader basis of funding and can more appropriately address needs on a regional basis. Budgeting, Accounting, and Financial Reporting Policies 1. In accordance
with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the financial structure of the City shall be divided into tax-supported governmental funds (including a General Fund to support
the governmental services of the City) and self-supporting proprietary funds established for non-governmental purposes. Proprietary funds shall include a series of enterprise funds,
which shall be managed as business enterprises, completely supported by revenues derived by that enterprise. 2. The accounts of the City and its operating budget shall be maintained
in accordance with the State Budgeting, Accounting, and Reporting System (BARS) code and shall provide current financial data on request. Page 43
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section II: Process/Policies 3. The State Auditor will annually perform a financial and compliance audit of the City’s financial statements. Their opinions
will be contained in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), and the State Auditor’s Report. 4. As an additional independent confirmation of the quality of the City’s
financial reporting, the City will annually seek to obtain the Government Finance Officers Association Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and the Distinguished
Budget Presentation Award. The Budget and CAFR will be presented in a way designed to communicate with citizens about the financial affairs of the City. 5. Enterprise funds shall be
budgeted on a flexible basis, which allows activities to expand and contract in accordance with increased or decreased revenue earning activity. 6. The City should adjust utility and
other enterprise fund rates in increments adequate to offset inflation and to maintain adequate working capital balance and equities. 7. Depreciation shall be accounted for, and should
be used, as a measure of capital development needs in the utilities. As such, the first priority for the use of such funds should be in maintaining existing services. Costs incurred
as a result of growth should be borne by new users, and extension of services to new users should be on the basis of an investment decision by which the capital expenses will be recouped
by rate income from new users. Revenue Policies 1. The City will seek to avoid dependence on temporary or unstable revenues to fund mainstream municipal services. 2. The City should
avoid dependence on federal revenues to fund ongoing mainstream municipal services. 3. General Fund services should be supported by user fees to the extent appropriate for the character
of the service and its user. 4. Grant funds or similar contractual revenue of a temporary nature will be budgeted only if they are committed at the time of the preliminary budget. Otherwise,
separate appropriations will be made during the year as grants are awarded or contracts made. 5. Revenue estimates for budget purposes should be conservative yet realistic. Reserve Policies
1. The City will maintain a Cumulative Reserve Fund to provide counter-cyclical balance, to protect the City from unforeseen contingencies and to allow an accumulation of resources to
finance foreseeable general governmental capital projects. 2. Each enterprise fund and the General Fund should maintain adequate fund balances or working capital to meet unexpected contingencies.
Each utility will maintain a minimum balance equal to 1% of system fixed assets for fund emergency repairs and unanticipated capital expenditures. The General Fund balance is to be maintained
at a level sufficient to meet the cash flow needs of the fund without borrowing. A $1,000,000 minimum working capital balance will be maintained in each utility fund. Other enterprise
funds should maintain working capital balances of 20% of their operating and capital expenses. 3. Each utility fund shall strive to ensure ongoing system integrity through reinvestment
in the system by funding full depreciation net of debt. Cash Management and Investment Policies 1. The City investment practices will be developed in accordance with Municipal Treasurers’
Association standards. 2. Ongoing operations of City government shall be funded from ongoing revenues. An appropriate Tax Anticipation Note or Revenue Anticipation Note may support funds
experiencing temporary cash deficits due to cash flow. Interfund loans may be provided at interest rates determined by current outside investments. Such loans should be paid back during
the fiscal year. Page 44
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section II: Process/Policies Capital Budget Policies 1. The burden for financing capital should be borne by the primary beneficiaries of the facility. 2. Long-term
borrowing for capital facilities should be considered an appropriate method of financing large facilities that benefit more than one generation of users. 3. The City will develop a multi-year
plan for capital improvements as required by the Growth Management Act of Washington State. The Capital Facilities Plan will be updated annually and be financially constrained for the
appropriated budget period. 4. The City will maintain its physical assets at a level adequate to protect the City’s capital investment and minimize future maintenance and replacement
costs. The budget will provide for the adequate maintenance and orderly replacement of capital and equipment from current revenues where possible. 5. The City will strive to rely on
a strong local improvement district program for certain street, water, sewer, and storm drainage improvements. They will be funded with no protest covenants obtained from property owners
whenever possible. 6. Enterprise fund working capital in excess of that needed for operations may be used for capital needs in order to conserve the debt capacity of those funds for
major facility expansions to meet future needs. Debt Policies 1. General Obligation (GO) Bond debt should be scheduled for repayment on the basis of the entire outstanding debt not just
the individual issue; in a manner which seeks to reduce fluctuation in the total tax rate. 2. The City will ensure compliance with existing loan/bond covenants by having at least 1.25
times revenue bond debt service, including system development charge revenues. 3. The City will strive to maintain a ratio of 50% debt/50% equity (cash); achieved by debt-financing no
more than 75% of Capital Facilities Plan in the utility funds. 4. The City will strive to improve its bond ratings by improving its financial stability. 5. The City shall employ competent
financial advisors and bond attorneys for all large bond issues. Auburn’s Vision for the Future Auburn’s vision sets the overall direction for the City, and as such, focuses city goals
on strategies developed toward implementation of this vision. The 2011-2012 Budget allocates City’s resources through the development of departmental objectives. The department objectives
are designed to implement the city-wide strategies which in turn work toward the citywide goals. These goals are designed to implement the Vision adopted by Council. The strategies coordinated
by this budget are developed by Council and administered by the Mayor. The City Council and Mayor set the direction in 2006 for the City by establishing Vision 2016 which looks ahead
and envisions what the City should look like in 10 years. The 2011-2012 budget continues to implement the vision that the City Council and Mayor developed. Citywide Goals and Strategies

Bothell Park 2011-2012 Budget Strategy The 2011-2012 Budget will be implemented by a series of objectives regarding development of resources and their allocation to various competing
demands. 1. Avoid the addition of permanent staff positions, unless there is an offsetting revenue stream or reduction in current expenses to support the position, and reviewing replacement
staff for essential need. Limiting new programs until economic conditions or revenue streams capable of supporting them are in place 2. Conserve the fiscal capacity of the City to meet
potential future needs 3. Use fund balance or working capital to finance capital equipment that maintains or enhances productivity 4. Control discretionary expenses Page 49
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section II: Process/Policies 5. Provide adequate training, and increasing technology and tools to enhance productivity 6. Maintain a baseline of funding which
continues to deliver high-quality municipal services with special attention to: a. Continue support of growth management b. Maintain effective law and justice services c. Provide continued
public safety d. Support a diversity of recreational and cultural programs e. Maintain existing facilities 7. Provide staff support and funding for street maintenance repairs and improvements
to meet planning requirements and benefit from available funding opportunities 8. Enhancing the capacity of the infrastructure where funding opportunities exist by giving priority to
providing necessary matching funds 9. Continuing operation of the City’s enterprise functions on a business basis 10. Exploring all opportunities for economic development that will provide
a return to the City of Auburn Use of Budget Tools This budget uses a variety of tools to implement these objectives: Financial Measures The City of Auburn budget places a high priority
on maintaining the fiscal integrity of the City by managing reserves to counterbalance economic cycles while responding to emerging needs. During a long period of economic growth, revenue
increases allowed both the opportunity to fund additional programs and to set aside reserves. When new programs are added, each is closely evaluated to ensure that it can be supported
over the long run after a growth cycle ends. Temporary “growth period” revenues can also be used for capital needs of a non-continuing nature. Enhanced revenue also can build reserves
to provide counter-cyclical balance (e.g., a rainy-day fund). The main purpose of such a reserve is to allow the City to respond to funding needs in an economic recession without having
to resort to new taxes. The City has established a Cumulative Reserve Fund for both building revenues for major capital needs and to provide a counter-cyclical balance. Interest rates
are being cut to stimulate economic growth. It is anticipated that the development of residential construction will continue due to current low interest rates, but at a much slower rate
than the past two years. The need for services has and will continue to be substantial, particularly police services. Some of these services are required before revenue is actually received
from the developments. The challenge becomes to judiciously expand services at a rate that provides reasonable coverage and protection to the public within the constraints of available
revenue. New long-term funding commitments need to be avoided as much as possible until new revenue capacity develops. Consequently, the priority is on completing existing funding commitments
and baseline needs, while carefully expanding services and protecting reserves. The City also maintains an insurance reserve to supplement its on-going insurance program to provide for
the City’s obligation for lifetime health care for LEOFF 1 police and fire personnel, and to maintain independence in the insurance market. The Insurance Fund reserve is approximately
$2.3 million in both 2011 and 2012, and no additional contributions were budgeted for the next biennium. Page 50
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section II: Process/Policies Baseline Budget The baseline budget funds the City’s ongoing operations. As such, it is an essential tool for implementing goals
and elements of strategy directed at continuing the existing array of services at a high-level of effectiveness and efficiency. The budget strategy places a high priority on continuing
to fund programs that will protect the City’s ability to maintain and enhance quality of life and on programs that meet the continuing public safety needs of our neighborhoods. These
needs will be funded by the appropriate use of the existing capacity of City programs. Capital Budget The Capital Improvement Fund is used to accumulate funds to finance large projects
that could not otherwise be done in one year from General Fund revenues. Projects include major improvements, acquisition of new municipal facilities, and Downtown Revitalization. The
fund is budgeted for over $2.9 million of expenditures in 2011. 2012 is budgeted for almost $1.16 million in expenditures with an ending fund balance over $2.9 million for future projects
identified in the Capital Facilities Plan. General Fund Priorities City General Fund revenues are forecasted conservatively but realistically because of anticipated voter approved initiatives.
Increases in salary and benefits and in contractual services will be increased in accordance with union contracts. Revenue estimates are conservative and based on the 2009 revenue received.
Costs may need to be reduced if revenue decreases from estimated amounts. The General Fund budget was developed under the following policy priorities: 1. Avoid new programs until new
revenue sources to support them are identified 2. Protect the City’s long-term fiscal integrity and Moody’s bond rating 3. Maintain productivity 4. Enhance efficiency and effectiveness
5. Ensure adequate and ongoing support for City programs and activities 6. Provide training, adequate technology and tools to enhance productivity 7. Fund priority planning needs to
enhance or promote economic development within the City and enforce code compliance 8. Maintain programs directed at protecting the quality of life in the community and its neighborhoods
9. Provide grant required matching funds for street improvements 10. Seek out additional sources of revenue for street improvement and construction 11. Fund continuing public safety
needs; especially increases in prisoner custody Many of these priorities are implemented in the development and review of the baseline budget proposals of various departments. Proprietary
Fund Priorities The budget priorities in the Proprietary Funds are a continuation of past budget priorities, which have generally placed these funds on a sound, self-supporting basis.
1. Continue operation of the funds on a self-supporting basis 2. Maintain the fiscal capacity of the utilities with appropriate measures 3. Implement programs and rates to encourage
resource conservation, particularly in water usage 4. Maintain orderly development of capital facilities to meet needs 5. Continue measures to enhance productivity and maintain new facilities
as they come on line 6. Continue programs that encourage greater recycling of our waste materials Page 51
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section II: Process/Policies 7. Focus on capital projects that deal effectively with the City’s growth Other Funds Budget Priorities Fiduciary funds will be
managed in a manner that continues to provide for their long-term obligations. The Insurance Fund will provide for insurance independence if needed. Debt service funds will continue
to retire debt as appropriate. No additional funds will be added to the LID Guarantee Fund, as the fund is currently considered adequate. Page 52

2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan SECTION III: FINANCIAL PLAN Introduction The National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB) endorses the forecasting
of revenue and expenditures in their Recommended Budget Practices. This section of the budget provides a combined view of both past and anticipated future revenue and expenditures for
all funds. A detailed revenue analysis is presented for each fund type. The plan focuses analysis on revenue sources in order to inform users of this document on how the City funds services
it provides to its citizens. A table, graph and explanation of major changes is provided for the General Fund, Special Revenue funds, Capital funds, Enterprise funds, Internal Service
funds, Fiduciary funds and the Permanent fund. This is followed by a six-year forecast of revenue and expenditures along with a discussion of the factors that affect the forecast. Long
term debt and debt capacity is discussed as well as the General Fund fiscal capacity. This chapter ends with a discussion of fund balance and working capital balances. A budget is a
plan that develops and allocates the City’s financial resources to meet community needs in both the present and future. The development and allocation of these resources is accomplished
on the basis of the foregoing policies, goals and objectives addressing the requirements and needs of the City of Auburn. While the other sections of this document will present the budget
in detail, this section provides an overview of the budget as a Financial Plan. As such, this section will focus on City strategies to maintain its financial strength and the basis for
the expectation for future revenues. An important part of a financial plan is the City’s Capital Improvement Program. While the projects affecting 2011-2012 are summarized under Section
VII, Capital Budget in this document, the entire Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is outlined, in detail, in a separate document. Page 55
2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan Analysis of 2011-2012 Revenues by Source for All Funds The graph below presents the total new revenues that are anticipated to be
available to support City programs during 2011 and 2012. The table shows the revenue by source of funds from 2009-2012. The revenues received by the City are derived from a diverse range

2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan Charges for Services In the past, the largest source of revenue to the City was taxes collected from businesses and citizens. New
initiatives have limited the City’s ability to collect taxes that were available or limited the amount they can be increased. In 2011, Charges for Services will be the largest source
of revenue for the City. Charges for Services include user fees for utility services, recreational, planning and building activities and constitute 37.5% in 2011 and 42.9% in 2012 of
total new revenue. These charges are primarily collected in the enterprise funds for services provided as stand alone business type activities. Service revenue is also charged to other
funds by the Information Services Internal Service fund (IS) to recoup the cost of the technology services and hardware provided to other City departments. The new Facilities Internal
Service fund has also increased this revenue source as the fund recoups costs to provide building and facility related support. Tax Revenue The second largest revenue source comes from
taxes. These funds have been surpassed by service revenue due to initiatives limiting the collection of taxes by the City. Tax revenue constitutes 28.8% of total new revenue in 2011
and 32.8% in 2012. Almost all of these funds are received in the General Fund to support the ongoing operations of the City. Other tax receipts are in funds that are restricted for defined
construction and infrastructure. Intergovernmental Revenue Intergovernmental revenue is primarily Federal and State grants, along with other governmental contributions, and is 12% in
2011 and 14.2% in 2012 of new revenue. This revenue type funds the construction of street projects, grants budgeted in the Local Revitalization fund to construct the downtown promenade
project and grants budgeted for the Park Construction fund. Miscellaneous Revenue Miscellaneous revenue includes interest, rents and leases, and Equipment Rental Internal Service fund
revenue. The Equipment Rental fund holds City vehicles as an asset and collects annual costs from departments in order to provide for maintenance and replacement of these vehicles. License
and Permit Revenue Permit revenue is dependent on the economy as most of this revenue comes from new construction activity. The 2011-2012 biennial budget is based on the economy and
construction of new homes being as slow as in the past two years. If the economy and/or construction slow more than currently anticipated, this revenue source may need to be adjusted
downward. Fines and Penalties This revenue source has been and is projected to be relatively stable. It includes false alarms, traffic and parking fines. Transfers This revenue source
is for transfers between funds and is budgeted at $7.6 million in 2011 and $4.2 million in 2012. Transfers include payments to other funds for debt service, capital construction projects,
grant matches and interfund loans. Other Sources Other revenue sources include bonds, contributions and donations, and accounts for 10.5% in 2011 and 5.1% in 2012. 2011 includes $16
million in various funding sources including a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) loan, New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) proceeds, Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) and other sources yet to
be identified for construction of the Auburn Community Center at Les Gove Park. Also included under other sources are system development charges in the utility funds. Transfers have
been separated in this table as to show actual new revenue. Page 57

2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan Salaries and Benefits Salaries and Benefits are approximately $44.8 million in 2011 and $46.7 million in 2012. Salaries for 2011
have decreased slightly over the 2010 adjusted budget. With the establishment of the multi-jurisdictional South Correctional Entity (SCORE), the City is eliminating its jail facility.
City corrections officers will be terminated from City employment and will be hired by SCORE. Services and Charges The City contracts for professional services as needed. Some examples
of these costs include legal expenses, appraisals, surveys and consulting services. Other categories in this object include communications, travel, advertising, rentals, insurance, repairs
and maintenance and utility charges. Intergovernmental Charges Transfers between funds are budgeted at $7.6 million in 2011 and $4.2 million in 2012. Transfers include payments to other
funds for debt service, capital construction, downtown revitalization, and street project funding. Intergovernmental expenditures also reflect the contractual cost for sewerage to Metro,
who provides sewage treatment for Auburn and much of the region. Capital Outlay Approximately $79.2 million has been allocated for capital improvement and projects for 2011 and $27.3
million in 2012. Most of the capital expenses are budgeted in the Utility Funds. The balances of capital expenditures are primarily in the Arterial and Local Street construction funds
and the Parks Construction fund. These categories fluctuate from year to year and are dependent on available funding from grants, loans, one-time revenues, and service fees. Interfund
Payments Payments to the Internal Service Funds are budgeted at approximately $10.9 million in 2011 and $10.7 million in 2012. These are charges paid for equipment repair and replacement
as well as software, hardware, technology, multimedia and facilities services. Other Uses The charges in 2009 are an offset to developer contributions in the Enterprise funds. These
charges are not known in advance and therefore not budgeted in subsequent years. Page 59
2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan REVENUE ANALYSIS GENERAL FUND The City’s General Fund receives a wide variety of revenue. This section of the budget will discuss

2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan General Fund Tax Revenue Current estimates indicate that the City will receive approximately $39.5 million in tax revenue during
2010. Revenues from taxes are anticipated to decrease in 2011 to an estimated $39.4 million. While overall property tax has increased, it has decreased within the General Fund due to
more money being allocated to the Local Street fund. It is expected that economic growth will continue to be as slow as it has been in the past two years. Low interest rates have sustained
the housing market in the region. Voter initiatives have had a significant financial impact on General Fund revenue. Revenue budgeted for the next biennium is based on the assumption
that the economy will be at least as slow as it has been in the past two years. If growth is slower than anticipated, revenues may have to be adjusted downward. Property Taxes Over the
past several years voters of the State of Washington have changed the property tax levying process through referenda and initiatives. Referendum 47, passed in 1997, changed the 106%
limit to the lesser of six percent or inflation. There was a provision, however, that with a finding of substantial need, a majority plus one vote of the city council could raise revenue
to the 106% limit. In 2001, the citizens voted on and passed Initiative 747 (I-747), which limits the increase in property taxes to the lesser of 1% or inflation. New construction, annexations
and refund levies are additional. I-747 was declared unconstitutional by the King County Superior court on June 13, 2006. In November 2007, the State Supreme Court decision overturned
I-747. Following this decision, the Washington Legislature approved House Bill 2416 reinstating the provisions of I-747 retroactively to 2002, restoring the one percent limit on property
tax increases. At this time, the City of Auburn 2011 levy rate is $1.93. Legislation has significantly impacted the City as labor contracts have historically increased at an average
rate of 3% and the tax authority that is used in the payment of those contracts is limited to 1%. The assessed property values for 2011 collections are anticipated to decrease approximately
4%. Property taxes constitute 24.1% of total General Fund revenue budgeted for 2011. Sales Tax The City tax rate is 1% (of which the County receives a 15% share) on all retail sales.
This leaves a net rate of .85% for the City. Sales tax receipts have fluctuated in Auburn because, historically, a large proportion of the receipts have been derived from construction
and auto sales. In addition, Washington State changed from a point of sale collection to a point of delivery collection process in July 2008. It is estimated that the City is losing
approximately $2 million per year that has been mitigated by the State. Should the State not be able to mitigate the effect of Streamline Sales Tax to the extent originally discussed,
the City may have to reevaluate budgeted sales tax revenue and adjust accordingly. Sales tax remains the largest single source of General Fund revenue for the City and in 2011 will constitute
36.2% of tax revenue and 28.6% of total budgeted revenue. Other Taxes This category includes utility taxes, which are taxes applied to utilities providing services in the City, including
Cityowned and private utilities. 29% of utility tax revenue is derived from electric services. Utility taxes, as a whole, have been considered to be very stable from year-to-year, not
only in the amount received, but also in terms of consistent growth rates. Interfund utility taxes are charged at 7% on the four major City utilities: Water, Sewer, Storm, and Solid
Waste. 1% of this utility tax is dedicated to fund Arterial Street Preservation. Page 61

Tax Other Tax Other General Fund Revenue Licenses and Permits License and permit activities are user fees that are derived from various regulatory activities of the City. The bulk of
this revenue is derived from building permit activities. Since this activity is dependent on new construction, it can fluctuate greatly depending on the economy, interest rates and available
land. New construction had been strong prior to 2008 but has slowed due to the economic downturn. Licenses and permits are projected to be 2.3% of 2011 and 2012 budgeted revenue. Intergovernmental
Various state-shared tax revenues, including liquor taxes and liquor profits, dominate this category. These revenues are provided on the basis of a state prescribed formula that is based
on population. As such, these revenues tend to be rather predictable and constitute 7.7% of total new revenue in 2011 and 7.6% in 2012. However, since grants are also included in this
category, the total amount is variable. State shared revenues have been flat in recent years, largely due to a change in sharing of revenue based on crime rates, and new city incorporations.
The increase in this revenue source in 2008 is from the King County Annexation agreement. In addition, this category also receives revenue from the Muckleshoot Tribe which is based on
the profits from the Casino. Each year the City negotiates with the Muckleshoot Tribe for the amount to be received. Late in 2005 the State began distributing Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax
(MVFT) directly to the General Fund. A portion of the MVFT funds are being transferred out to the Arterial Street fund through operating transfers. Charges for Services This category
consists of user fees that are derived from a variety of activities. Revenue from recreational services tends to gradually increase with community growth and demand. Recreational fees
support about 50% of the costs of the related services. Arts revenue is similar to grants, and additional revenue may be received, but expenses would offset such revenue. Another relatively
large type of fee category is a plan check fee derived from the review of private construction plans. Plan checks are likely to hold steady in 2011 as they follow new construction and
permitting activity. Charges for services constitute 3.6% of total 2011 revenue. Page 62

and forfeits are projected to be 4.4% of the 2011 and 4.5% of 2012 total budgeted revenue. Miscellaneous and Other Sources Miscellaneous revenue consists primarily of interest revenue
on idle treasurers’ cash and investments. Estimated 2010 revenue has decreased from 2008 due to lower interest rates. Miscellaneous sources of revenue were reduced in 2011 and 2012 due
to decline in interest rates and movement of rental revenue to the new facilities internal service fund created in 2009. In 2009 the increase in “Other” reflects a transfer back of excess
fund balance that was originally given to the Capital Projects Fund by the General Fund. Increase in revenue in 2010 from 2009 reflects the refinancing of Valley Communications Center
Public Development Authority bonds, which the City is contracted to pay 20% of the debt service for 15 years. General Fund Revenue Fines, Misc., Other $-$600,000 $1,200,000 $1,800,000

The main tax in the Special Revenue funds is a portion of property tax initially collected by a citizen approved Levy Lid Lift. This levy began in 2005 and was approved for six years.
Up from $1.5 million in 2010, Council has currently designated $2.0 million ($.25/$1,000 assessed value) of property tax levied to be placed in the Local Street Fund-103 and is restricted
to the improvement of local streets. In 2008 the city increased the utility tax rates 1% to support Arterial Street Preservation. Another tax collected is the Business Improvement Assessment
(BIA). The City levies a tax on all businesses within the downtown core area. Retail businesses are levied $0.15 per square foot and service businesses are levied $0.15 per square foot,
up to a maximum of one thousand square feet. These funds then provide the resources that enable the Auburn Downtown Association to promote the central business area. There are approximately
345,500 square feet of service businesses and 224,100 square feet of retail space assessed annually. The Hotel/Motel Excise Tax is another source of revenue for this group of funds.

2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan lodging at hotels, motels and campgrounds these funds are used to offset the cost of tourism promotion. 2011 -2012 revenues have
been budgeted to reflect anticipated collections. Other taxes which may support activities in Special Revenue funds include Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) and Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (MVFT).
However, these funds are receipted into other funds and are accounted for in Special Revenue funds as a transfer in under Other Sources. See discussion below of “Other Sources”. Charges
for Service Special Revenue funds’ “charges for services” is derived mainly from the Mitigation Fee fund. This revenue consists of miscellaneous service fees and mitigation fees paid
by developers. 2011-2012 are budgeted conservatively as this revenue source fluctuates based on local economic conditions. Miscellaneous Miscellaneous revenue consists primarily of developer
contributions and interest income which is budgeted conservatively in 2011 and 2012. Special Revenue Funds Other Sources and Intergovernmental $-$3,000,000 $6,000,000 $9,000,000 $12,000,000

of the budgeted transfers will be for the continued support of Arterial and Local Street projects identified in the Transportation Improvement Plan. Intergovernmental This funding source
has traditionally been the largest of all categories in the Special Revenue Funds. Intergovernmental revenues are grants, entitlements, shared revenues and payments provided by one government
to another. These funds include Federal, State and Local grants, state entitlements, and other contributions and donations. A majority of this funding is passed through the Washington
State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) for Arterial Street projects. Fluctuations from year-to-year for this source of revenue can be directly related to project activity since a
majority of this revenue is received on a reimbursement basis. The Arterial Street fund is anticipating approximately $10.1 million of state and federal funding for 2011 and 13.2 million
from federal, state and local funding in 2012. Major projects include “A” Street NW phase I, West Valley Highway Improvements and M Street Grade Separation. Page 65
2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS The City maintains three capital project funds, the Municipal Park Construction Fund, the Capital Improvement
Fund and the Local Revitalization Fund. Major non-proprietary capital acquisitions and construction are budgeted in these funds separately from operations. Capital Project Funds Revenue

The City is authorized to levy Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) up to ½% on all real property sales transactions within the City. The City of Auburn levies the allowable ½%. Revenues from
this tax must be used for financing capital facilities specified in the City’s Capital Facility Plan. REET is divided into quarter percents. Both the first and second ¼% may be used
for: streets, sidewalks, street lighting systems, traffic signals, bridges, domestic water systems, and storm and sanitary sewer systems. In addition, the first ¼% may be used to purchase
park and recreational facilities, law enforcement facilities, fire protection facilities, trails, libraries, and administrative and judicial facilities. With the current downturn in
the economy REET is budgeted conservatively and held steady from 2009 thru 2012. Page 66
2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan Intergovernmental The parks construction fund anticipates the receipt of $629,900 in grant revenue for 2011 to complete major park
projects and $1.3 million in local funding in 2012. These projects include Auburn Environmental Park and Fenster Levee Setback and the Lea Hill Park replacement. The Local Revitalization
fund anticipates $2.5 million in a federal grant in 2011. Other Funding Sources Other funding sources consist of interfund operating transfers in from other funds and bond proceeds.
These transfers are used to fund the capital projects to be determined by Council. The 2010 estimated actual includes $23 million in bond proceeds for the purchase of the City Hall Annex
and $7 million in bond proceeds for the Local Revitalization project. The 2011 budget includes $652,500 REET1 transfer in for the Auburn Community Center and $366,000 REET1 transfer
in for the Activity Center. Transfers in also include a $45,000 transfer from Cumulative Reserve fund for the Auburn Environmental Park. Capital Project Funds Revenue $-$500,000 $1,000,000

the capital facility program in the Parks Construction Fund-321. These funds are then used to fund park facilities projects to benefit the users of the parks and fields. Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous revenue includes interest earnings on idle fund resources and contributions or donations from developers or other organizations for parks projects. Investment income is
budgeted conservatively from 2010 thru 2012. The increase in 2010 is $1.8 million in a developer contribution for the City Hall Annex project and budget for a $780,000 contribution from
the Boys and Girls Club for the Activity Center project. Page 67
2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan ENTERPRISE FUNDS The City presents eight enterprise funds in the budget used for the purpose of accounting for the revenues derived
from services provided. The City enterprise funds include the following services: Water, Sanitary Sewer, Storm Drainage, Solid Waste, Golf Course, Airport, Commercial Retail and Cemetery.

for Services Other Sources Charges for Services This revenue source represents fees charged by the City’s enterprise funds in return for a public service. Over 58% of the City’s enterprise
fund charges for service revenue are collected in the sewer and solid waste funds. Approximately 75% of the sewer revenues are related to pass through charges from King County for Metro
services, which is for the treatment and disposal of the City of Auburn’s sewage. Solid Waste collection is contracted through Waste Management Disposal Company and Allied Waste Services.
Garbage rates are structured in a way that encourages participation in the recycling program. The utility revenues are directly affected by growth factors and rate increases. The City
normally reviews the fees charged for utilities on an annual basis to ensure the fees charged cover the costs associated with providing the services. All fees and charges are adopted
through the public process of an ordinance. Page 68
2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan The Golf Course charges consist of green fees for the 18-hole championship course. With the completion of the new clubhouse in 2007
this fund also collects for lessons, power cart rentals, restaurant, banquet space and pro-shop sales. Golf course revenue has risen slightly over the past few years because of improved
marketing plans and renovations of many holes increasing the number of rounds played during the winter months. In 2011 and 2012, revenues are anticipated to decrease due to the economic
downturn. Charges for services in the Cemetery fund are for lot sales and retail sales for burial related products. The economic downturn has also affected the revenues projected for
this fund in 2011 and 2012. Other Sources This revenue source represents the resources available from Public Works Trust Fund loans (PWTF), developer contributions, bond proceeds, and
in 2009, contributions from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe. System capital contributions are paid by by the developer during the permitting process and are used for capital improvements.
Section VII of this budget summarizes the capital projects budgeted in 2011-2012. For more detailed information refer to the Capital Facilities Plan published as a separate document.
Other contributions include non cash developer contributions as they build or improve system assets. In 2010 other sources include $12.1 million revenue bond proceeds in the Water fund,
$5.4 million revenue bond proceeds in the Sewer fund and $4.5 million revenue bond proceeds in the Storm fund. Enterprise Funds Revenue $0 $1,000,000 $2,000,000 $3,000,000 $4,000,000
2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Miscellaneous Intergovernmental Revenue Miscellaneous Revenues The majority of miscellaneous revenues are comprised of investment income earned on idle cash.
This revenue source has decreased since 2008 due to falling interest rates. Airport property rentals make up 58.1% of the Enterprise funds miscellaneous revenue. Completion of new hangars,
additional ground leases and improved marketing have increased revenue for the airport. The golf course revenue for cart rentals, banquet space and concessions is anticipated to comprise
28.7% of miscellaneous funds in 2011. Intergovernmental Revenue This revenue consists primarily of grants received in the Airport Fund from the FAA for airport improvements to the taxiways
and maintenance of the facility. In 2009 $2.47 million was to fund taxiway design and construction. The Storm Fund also includes intergovernmental revenue of $100,000 in 2011 and $500,000
in 2012 from the Port of Seattle to fund a mitigation project. Page 69
2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS The City’s Internal Service Funds are used to budget the financing of goods and services provided by one department
of operation to other funds and departments on a cost reimbursement basis. The City has four internal service funds: Insurance, Facilities, Equipment Rental and the Information Services
Fund. Internal Service Funds By Funding Source 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Actual Actual Est Actual Budget Budget Beg. Working Capital $ 10,822,684 $ 1 1,518,199 $ 11,673,894 $ 1 1,114,839

The primary revenue source for charges is from Facilities and Information Services. Each department is allocated a portion of the costs for Facilities, Information and Multimedia services
which is then paid into the Internal Service fund. The Facilities internal service fund was added in 2009 explaining the sharp increase in this revenue. Miscellaneous Revenue The Equipment
Rental fund charges the departments for maintenance and replacement costs of City owned vehicles which is collected in the miscellaneous revenue category. This revenue source also includes
Interest revenue which has been budgeted conservatively with the decline in interest rates. In addition, a slight decrease in interest income is projected for the Information Services
and Equipment Rental Fund as idle cash and will be spent on projects. Other Sources This revenue source is mainly for Transfers In from other funds. In 2008, transfers of $273,900 were
made to the Information Services fund and $720,600 to Equipment Rental fund for increased expenses related to the annexation. Page 70
2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan FIDUCIARY FUNDS In the past the City had budgeted three trust funds: the Cemetery Endowed Care Fund; the Fire Relief and Pension
Fund; and the Special Parks and Recreation Trust Fund. With the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 34, the reporting type and structure of these
funds has been changed. The Cemetery Endowed Care fund is now classified as a “Permanent Fund” which is a new fund type under GASB 34. The Special Parks and Recreation Trust Fund is
now reported as a part of the general fund. That leaves the City with two fiduciary type funds, the Fire Relief and Pension Fund and an unbudgeted Agency Fund for collection and disbursement
of non-City funds. Fiduciary Funds By Funding Source 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Actual Actual Est Actual Budget Budget Beginning Fund Balance $ 2 ,898,968 $ 2 ,940,766 $ 2 ,828,642 $ 2

rates, 2010 is estimated to remain low and investment income is budgeted conservatively in 2011 and 2012. Intergovernmental This revenue is from the fire insurance premium tax that is
transferred into the Fire Relief and Pension Fund. The City receives this revenue from the State and it is allocated based on the number of firefighters serving the City. The fund is
scheduled for another actuarial evaluation during 2011. The General fund receipts this revenue and then transfers the funds into the Fire Relief and Pension Fund. Page 71

Fund Bal.* Revenues and expenditures are projected on the basis of assumed economic relationships. Revenues are forecast on the basis of future economic and demographic factors with
little dependence on past trends. Expenditures are forecast based on past trends modified by present and future conditions. Future conditions are based upon a series of complex assumptions.
This model has been used to test a large range of assumptions and policy options in the course of developing budget recommendations. The General Fund Revenue and Expenditure forecast
reflects a moderate set of assumptions regarding revenues and expenditures. The Auburn economy is cyclical and the City enjoyed a strong economy in the past. However, decreases in the
stock market, higher unemployment rates, and unfunded mandates by the County, state and federal government for criminal justice and human services have all had a significant impact on
the General Fund budget. Moderate economic growth is reflected in the revenue forecasts through 2016. Property assessed values have increased steadily during previous years at an average
of 6.0%. Assessed valuation in 2010 decreased 10.5% overall and 2011 is anticipated to again decrease approximately 4%. In the past, the forecast has relied on increases in assessed
value for forecasting. However, with recent legislation and initiative activity, this forecast is relying on a 1% increase for property taxes plus an average factor for new construction.
While estimated revenue growth has decreased over the past years, expenditures involving public safety and public services are expected to increase at a greater rate. New commercial
development, several large residential developments, and new annexations are a few of the areas expected to increase the demand for public services. Based on the current trends, it is
anticipated anticipated that fund balances will continue to decrease over the next few years as revenues subside and expenditures increase. It is necessary to reflect non-departmental
costs so that estimated ending fund balances are not overstated. Expenditures in this area generally represent one-time payments or transfers for capital projects, employee retirements
or debt service. The Finance Department will continue to study revenue options and enhancements to offset the decline in future revenues. Residual budget is unused budget rolled forward
to be utilized in the subsequent year. Forecasting models have been used to assist in fiscal planning for quite some time. Models have allowed analysis of alternative actions in funding
programs during the development of the budget. The model accents the continuing need to control the per capita rate of expenditures reflected in the preceding pages. Continued caution
will be required to anticipate and manage the effects of current and future legislative actions to avoid service reductions for budgetary reasons. Page 74
2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan If current trends continue, fund balance will decrease to 0.67% by the end of 2014. Revenue has been estimated realistically based
on anticipated economic growth, planned annexations, and considering the affects of voter initiatives. Should growth remain slower than anticipated, the adverse affect on fund balance
may be greater than predicted. Revenues from property taxes are increased at 1% plus the addition of new construction and annexations. Initiative 747 went before the voters in November
2001 and passed. The initiative limits the increase in property taxes to the lesser of 1% or inflation. This initiative has been overturned by the Supreme Court. Following this decision,
the Washington Legislature approved House Bill 2416 reinstating the provisions of I-747 retroactively to 2002, restoring the one percent limit on property tax increases. Assessed valuation
for the City is expected to decline in 2011. Voters passed the “Save Our Streets” (SOS) levy in November 2004. This was a six-year levy lift for property taxes and all revenue gained
from this measure will be dedicated to improve local streets and will not offset the erosion of fund balances in the General Fund. In 2007 the City lost a portion of the property tax
levy ($1.50) to the newly formed Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA). The fire department broke away from the City and a new taxing authority, the VRFA, was created. With that went
the tax base that the City applied the levy lid lift to. Council has identified the portion of the levy that would have been used for the street program and has provided that levy in
the 2011 and 2012 budget to continue the program. This analysis reflects the position of the City if no adjustments are made on the expenditure side and other revenue does not grow at
a rate necessary to offset the slower growth rate from property taxes. The City is addressing the long-term revenue short fall through concerted efforts with other jurisdictions. At
this time, however, the exact adjustments that will be necessary are unknown. As mentioned, the City has taken into account the statewide initiative in forecasting property taxes. The
issue that develops when property tax increases are held to 1% is that costs are not. Costs such as employee benefits, negotiated labor contracts, services and supplies continue to increase
at a greater rate. Fuel, professional services, and healthcare costs are good examples. The shortfall then has to be made up by increases in sales tax collection and population growth.
The City had been able to maintain the existing level of service, in light of legislative action, because the economy was growing at rates sufficient to offset the limits placed on property
taxes. Sales tax revenue needs to grow at a rate that will make up the revenues lost from property tax declines. If not, the City will then have to make some different choices in the
delivery of basic levels of services. In 2009, due to the economic downturn the City made two reductions in force to reduce labor costs. Total salaries and benefits represent 54.1% of
the 2011 General Fund budget. Page 75
2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan Long-Term Debt Obligations and Debt Capacity Like private citizens, municipalities must sometimes borrow funds to pay for large purchases
like capital equipment and capital projects. As in the private world, the ability to borrow depends upon the borrower’s ability to pay the loan back, as indicated by means of credit
ratings, potential future earnings, etc. Unlike private citizens and companies, public entities have the additional parameters of statutory limits on borrowing, as measured by set percentages
of assessed value and ratios of revenue to operating expense. Debt incurred by a City is generally issued in the form of bonds, similar to promissory notes, which investors buy from
the City, with the idea that the City will buy the bonds back at some future date – paying more money than the investor paid for them. There are three types of bonds issued by the City
of Auburn, differentiated by the basis of the guarantee of payoff to the investor. General General Obligation or “GO” Bonds are based on the tax base or the assessed value of the municipality.
When issuing a GO Bond, the City is pledging its future taxing powers to pay off the debt. GO Bonds can also be issued as a voted “levy” when citizens are willing to pay extra taxes
to pay for a particular project. Another less common type of GO Bond is one that is secured by the City’s tax base, but is actually retired from utility revenues. Revenue Bonds are both
guaranteed by and retired from specific future revenues (usually fees for a particular service). These are generally issued for utility capital projects, and guaranteed and retired by
utility rate revenues. There is no general tax liability for these obligations. Local Improvement District or “LID” Bonds are issued through the formation of local improvement districts
to provide specific capital improvements. The City has a LID Guarantee Fund; a reserve fund that guarantees LID Bonds. The City’s outstanding internal LID Bond debt currently amounts
amounts to $609,512. L.I.D. Bonds Year Principal Interest Total 2011 $ 3 3,142 $ 30,476 $ 63,618 2012 34,800 28,818 63,618 2013 36,540 27,078 63,618 2014 38,367 25,251 63,618 2015+ 466,663

with or without a vote of the people cannot exceed 2.5% of the value of taxable property. Up to 1.5% may be authorized by City Council without a vote and are referred to as Councilmanic
Bonds; however, any indebtedness available without a vote is proportionately reduced by any indebtedness with a vote in excess of 1%. The City may also levy, with a vote of the people,
up to 5% of taxable property value for utility or open space and park facilities purposes. Any excess will proportionately reduce the margin available for general purposes. Total general
obligation debt cannot exceed 7.5% of the value of property. The City debt obligations are well within the statutory limits for debt capacity. The following chart summarizes the City’s
current debt obligations by type of debt and legal limit. In 2010, the City issued $31,990,000 of general obligation bonds. The bonds were used for the following purposes: 1) refunding
all of the City’s outstanding 1998 Library bonds; 2) to pay for downtown infrastructure improvements which includes utility relocation and upsizing, a Page 76
2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan promenade with open plazas, and a new street surface; and 3) to pay for a portion of the cost of acquisition of certain condominium
units to provide city office space near City Hall (City Hall Annex). The City issued $5,160,000 of general obligation debt in 2006 to provide funds for the design and construction of
a new Golf Course clubhouse and improvements at the Cemetery. The City has also issued $1,655,000 in general obligation debt in 1999 to pay the construction cost of hangars at the Auburn
Airport. In 2005 the City refunded $1,375,000 of the 1999 general obligation bonds in order to lower the interest rate. Additional GO debt includes a bond issue from the Valley Communications
Center Development Authority in 2000 that was refinanced in 2010, a 2009 bond issue from the SCORE Public Development Authority. The City is contracted to pay 20% of the ValleyCom debt
service over a 15-year period. The City is contracted to pay 31% of the SCORE debt service service over a 30-year period. The City currently has an Aa3 rating from Moody’s and an AA
rating from Standard & Poor’s. Without With Utility Open Space a Vote a Vote Purposes & Parks 1.50% 1.00% 2.50% 2.50% Total Bonding Capacity $113,164 $75,443 $188,607 $188,607 $565,822

utility revenue bonds that are being repaid by revenues from utility funds. This balance includes $21.3 million issued in December 2010 and the remaining balance of $1.9 million of the
2005 utility refunding bonds. In 2005, the City refunded $2,855,000 of the 1997 revenue bonds in order to lower the interest rate. It is estimated the present value savings will be $154,607.
In 2010, the City issued $21.3 million in utility revenue bonds. The proceeds from the bond sale together with rate generated working capital will be used to construct new or replace
utility infrastructure. In the Water Utility, the proceeds will be used to buy wholesale water contracts, build a new reservoir, replace two booster pump stations, and replace water
mains and other water system equipment. In the Sewer Utility, bond proceeds will be used to replace two pump stations, replace damaged sewer pipe, and upgrade pump station control systems.
Bond revenues will be used to improve Storm Drainage Utility infrastructure by replacing a pump station, enlarging a flood control pond, and installing new roadway drainage systems.
The above projects are detailed in the 2009 comprehensive plan for each respective utility. The City has established a coverage ratio of 1.25 for the utility revenue bonds, where the
net utility operating revenues will exceed 1.25 times the maximum annual utility revenue bond debt service cost. The annual debt service payment is paid from the utility user or system
development fees. Moody’s has rated the outstanding 2005 utility revenue bonds Aa2. Page 77

2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan General Fund Fiscal Capacity The City utilizes a range of strategies to maintain its fiscal security. Several of the financial policies
are based on this strategy. First, the City maintains fund balances sufficient to meet the General Fund cash flow needs and estimated employee retirement cash outs for the current year.
This amounts to about 7% to 10% of the General Fund. In good economic times, this fund balance can be budgeted higher than when the economy takes a turn for the worse. This balance serves
as the first line of defense against a sudden and significant economic downturn. However, revenues are forecast moderately. This not only provides protection from needing to rely on
the fund balance, it has provided a higher fund balance than originally budgeted, augmenting reserves. The City has a Cumulative Reserve Fund for two purposes. First, it allows the City
to build funds for needed capital projects without having to rely exclusively on debt. Secondly, it provides long-term stability to City finances as a counter-cyclical balance. Money
is put aside in good years (from higher than budgeted reserves), allowing the City a reserve to draw on in years of economic decline. The City also maintains two special purpose reserve
funds to adequately meet specific and significant potential contingencies: 1) an insurance fund to augment regular insurance coverage and to provide for independence and/or stability,
and 2) a guarantee fund to adequately secure the City’s LID program. Finally, the City has reserved an amount of taxing and other revenue capacities for worse case circumstances. These
capacities are: User Fees There are several categories of user fees that could be increased to capture a larger share of associated costs. B&O Tax The City has the ability, but has chosen
not to levy a Business and Occupation Tax on gross business receipts. This authority applied conservatively would yield about $1,000,000 per year. At higher rates, as much as $2,000,000
per year could be realistically achieved. Business Licensing Some jurisdictions have used business licensing as a means of generating additional revenues. A very aggressive program could
yield as much as $750,000 per year. Page 79

Service Captial Project Fire Relief & Pension Cem. Endowed Care 2009 2010 2011 2012 The General Fund’s ending balance decreased from the 2009 actual amount to 2010 budget because of
increased unemployment costs related to the reduction in force in 2009, capital lease payments related to the City Hall Annex and General Fund revenues have not kept pace with the increased
costs of services. Fund balance is budgeted to Page 80
2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan decrease 33.5% from 2010 to 2011 mainly due to the startup costs associated with the multi-jurisdictional South Correctional Entity.
Special Revenue fund balance decreased 18.4% from 2010 to 2011 primarily due to a $2,559,200 budgeted transfer out from the Mitigation fund in 2011 to the Arterial Streets fund for various
transportation projects. The Capital Projects fund balance is budgeted to decrease 72.7% in 2011 due mainly from increased capital outlay in the Municipal Park Construction fund for
construction of the Activity Center and Community Center and the in Local Revitalization fund for construction of the Promenade project and City Plaza. Debt Service fund balances are
budgeted to increase in 2011 due to the issuance of approximately $31 million in new general obligation bonds in 2010. Working Capital Proprietary funds are managed on a different basis
than are general governmental services. The amount of expenses required for ongoing operation depends on the amount of activity that will be done next year. Since such activity provides
new income to the fund directly in the form of charges for service, there is additional revenue to support those additional expenses. Therefore, the management of these funds is not
focused on line items of revenue and expenses, but rather the “bottom line” of whether expenses are supported by revenue. This is measured by the working capital in each fund. In simple
terms, “working capital” is similar to fund balance and is the result of all transactions during the year. An increase in working capital indicates that expenses are less than earnings.
Since a city cannot make a profit, unlike private sector enterprises, working capital should not grow or decline and expenses and revenues should balance. However, working capital should
accumulate to a level sufficient for at least three purposes: Provide cash flow for operations and maintenance Provide a cushion or a contingency for unforeseen needs and emergencies.
Provide adequate security for long-term debt. Allow for a capital development program to reduce the need for borrowing. The trend for working capital in each of the City’s proprietary
funds is found on the following page. It should be noted that data for 2010-2012 are budget figures while the data for previous years are actual figures. The Water Fund continues with
an aggressive capital program and the beginning working capital for the utility decreased slightly in 2010. In 2010, the City completed a rate study for the period of 2009 through 2014.
The City Council agreed with the new financial plan and adopted a 6.5% annual rate increase through 2014. The utility requires approximately $12.1 million to complete several capital
improvements in 2011 and 2012. The utility will sell $12.1 million in bonds to generate the required revenue to fund the projects. The Sewer Fund ending working capital increased by
approximately $1.9 million during the last budget cycle. In 2010, the City completed a rate study for the period period of 2009 through 2014. The City Council agreed with the new financial
plan and adopted a 10% annual rate increase through 2014. The utility requires approximately $5.4 million to complete several capital improvements in 2011 and 2012. The utility will
sell $5.4 million in bonds to generate the required revenues to fund the projects. Storm Fund ending working capital increased by approximately $3 million during the last budget cycle.
Also in 2010, the City completed a rate study for the period of 2009 through 2014. The City Council agreed with the new financial plan and adopted a 5.4% annual rate increase through
2014. The utility requires approximately $4.5 million to complete several capital improvements in 2011 and 2012. The utility will sell $4.5 million in bonds to generate the required
revenue to fund the projects. Page 81
2011-2012 Biennal Budget Section III: Financial Plan Ending Working Capital in the Water, Sewer and Storm funds will decrease significantly from 2010 through 2011 as revenue bond proceeds
are used to fund capital projects. The City entered into a contract for garbage disposal services beginning January 2002. Rates are set to recover the cost of the service and encourage
recycling efforts. Increasing costs in contracted services has caused a decrease in Solid Waste’s working capital in recent years. In the past, there has been adequate fund balance so
rates have not been increased for residential customers. The City is currently in negotiations with the current garbage contractor. Rates are presented to council during the 4th quarter
each year and a decision is made at that time whether to increase rates. The Airport entered into several long-term land leases in 2001 that has resulted in private development and increased
revenue from the leases. Since 2004, the City has contracted the Airport to an outside manager. A slight decrease in working capital is projected in 2011 as funds will be used for hangar
roof repairs. The Cemetery completed construction of the Mausoleum and Niche Wall project in 2007. Landscaping and irrigation improvements to the Cemetery are ongoing. In 2006, GO Bonds
were issued to fund this project. Working capital is projected to decrease in 2011 and 2012 due to conservative revenue forecasts resulting from the economic downturn. The Golf Course
completed construction of a Clubhouse in 2007 funded by bond proceeds. The 2011 and 2012 working capital is projected to decrease as a result of conservative revenue forecasts due to
the economic downturn and scheduled debt service payments on the bond. The Commercial Retail fund was established in 2003 for the improvement, leasing and management of approximately
14,000 square feet of commercial space in the Auburn Station. The fund accounts for revenue and expenses to redevelop downtown through the creation of retail, office and educational
space. space. In 2008, a long term lease for commercial space was entered into with one party who also took over the management of the space. Fund balance for 2009 reflects the change
in management of the property. In 2010, the fund was consolidated into the General Fund. Equipment Rental fund working capital is projected to decrease in 2011 as replacement funds are
being used and several construction projects are completed. The funds will be used to build a new vehicle bay and storage area. Information Services became an Internal Service fund in
2005. Charges to departments cover the full cost of operations and replacement of equipment. Working capital is expected to decrease in 2011 and 2012 as replacement funds are being used.
Facilities became an Internal Service fund in 2009. Charges to departments cover the full cost of operations and maintenance of city owned and operated buildings. Working capital is
expected to increase as the city continues to receive revenues from property rentals. Page 82

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section IV: Operating Budget SECTION IV: OPERATING BUDGET Introduction This section of the budget details the City’s baseline budget. As such, department or
fund delineates a complete discussion of City operations. This section also takes a detailed look at departments and divisions by providing both quantitative and qualitative performance
measures. This enhanced presentation is designed to focus more attention on the results and direction of City services rather than on line-item allocations. The format of this section
has been designed to present the information in an administrative structure beginning with the City Council and Mayor, followed by all funds for which each Department Director is responsible.
For example, the Public Works Department will include budgets for Engineering and Street divisions in the General Fund as well as Transportation, Equipment Rental, and Utility Funds.
Sections for those funds representing administrative departments or divisions are presented following the baseline budget and include: Department Organizational Chart Each organizational
chart identifies the authorized staff positions in the 2011-2012 biennial budgets. The charts specifically identify each division that reports to the Department head. Each employee has
a “home” department/division/fund, but may perform work for another department/division/fund. This system is intended to identify all authorized permanent staff positions. Department
or Division Mission Statement Each functional department has created its own mission statement that directs objective setting toward achieving the Citywide Vision. Department Overview
A description of the programs the department/division(s) are responsible for accomplishing. Accomplishments and Objectives A summary of the progress each department or division made
on their objectives during 2009, including general operations and obligation of the fund, and the objectives that the department will undertake in 2011-2012. Baseline Budget by Object
For general fund departments and governmental funds, this information is presented in a line object format. This is based on the Washington State Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting
System (BARS), which govern the City’s accounting procedures. Data for the proprietary funds is presented in a working capital format, which not only describes the use of these funds,

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section IV: Operating Budget Days Sales Outstanding “Days Sales Outstanding” is the City’s average collection period, which is now based on a 25 day billing
cycle, for all its utilities. This reflects the change to a monthly billing cycle which was implemented in July 2007. It is an important financial indicator because it shows the age,
in terms of days, of an organization’s accounts receivable and the average time it takes to turn receivables into cash. It provides insight into the changes that occur within the City’s
receivable balance. Experienced a slight upswing in the number of days outstanding, beginning in 2009, due to the economic conditions. PERFORMANCE MEASURES -FINANCE DEPARTMENT Total
Utility Department Calls The Utilitiy Billing Department tracks the incoming and outgoing phone activity for the department through Cisco call center software. Using this information,
management can determine both individual and overall department performance, the billing cycle relationship compared to peak hours or days in a month, and staff time spent on telephone
calls. In the future, management will develop minimum standards for individual performance such as number of calls in a day or the minutes per call that should not be exceeded. Training
will be structured to increase the level of customer service and efficiency. In 2007, the City changed to monthly billing in July which resulted in an increase in the number of phone
calls. The 2008 annexation of Lea Hill and West Hill also increased the volume of inquiries to the Utility Department. In 2010, the department implemented a new phone system with new
reporting software that enhances our ability to monitor this data better. The department goal is to decrease the number of calls as technology improves and customer utilization of web
based services such as Online Bill Pay and Webcheck Escrow Services are increased. This technology is currently in place and the staff will continue to promote these services by informing
and educating our customers. 44,437 46,500 48,780 44,000 43,000 42,000 0 15000 30000 45000 60000 2007 2008 2009 2010 Est 2011 Goal 2012 Goal Utility Department Calls 30 22 23 25 24 23

year adjustments, the transfer of money between funds, and one-time transactions. Estimated costs for retiring employees are budgeted in this department. During the course of the year,
anticipated expenditures will be transferred from the beginning fund balance while revenues will be added. The ending fund balance reflects the target figure for the ending balance.
Since the budget will be adopted before the actual current year ending figure is known, the amount has been estimated. 2009 & 2010 ACCOMPLISHMENTS Continued to fund LEOFF retiree

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section IV: Operating Budget INSURANCE The Insurance Fund is maintained to pay unemployment insurance claims and to pay for property and liability losses which
either falls below the City’s deductible level or for which the City has no coverage. In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in insurance premiums coupled with the decrease
in coverage that has caused the City to continually re-evaluate its insurance program. The City currently meets its insurance needs by participating in the Washington Cities Insurance
Authority’s Insurance Pool (WCIA). From 1994 through 2009 no contributions have been made to this fund since interest earnings have been sufficient to cover the annual cost of operations.
In 2010, inter-fund transfers were made to the insurance fund to offset increased unemployment insurance claims. 2009 & 2010 ACCOMPLISHMENTS Evaluated cost saving measures while maintaining
quality insurance coverage Continued to maintain adequate reserves to meet uninsured costs Evaluated policies and procedures to help control loss issues 2011 & 2012 OBJECTIVES

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section IV: Operating Budget Minimal increases in the number of ordinances prepared is partially reflective of change in practice whereby only those Council
actions which prescribe permanent rules of conduct or government that specifically require adoption by ordinance according to state law are done by ordinance. Other Council actions involving
contracts or actions involving special or temporary nature can be accomplished by resolution. Civil Forfeiture Cases Civil forfeiture cases involve property and assets seized by the
police department in relation to criminal activity, usually narcotic sales. In addition to any criminal prosecution, each seizure requires that a file be opened and judicial administrative
action taken in order to forfeit the seized property to the City. Often the forfeiture of involved property is the primary form of punishment imposed upon the criminal defendant. This
graph illustrates the number of forfeiture cases handled by the City Attorney's Office. PERFORMANCE MEASURES -LEGAL DEPARTMENT Public Disclosure Requests -Responded to Within 5 Business

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section IV: Operating Budget Efficient Processing of Project Permits The City incorporates a 120-day timeline into its code (ACC Section 14.11.010). With moving
from a manual time period tracking to an automated system associated with its permit management software, the City seeks to track and increase the efficiency of project permit processing
by reducing the average processing timeframe by five percent each year in the coming biennium. PERFORMANCE MEASURES -PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT Number of Building Permits Issued This performance
measure shows the number of building permit applications submitted, reviewed for conformance with applicable standards and approved (issued) by the City. The building permit category
includes not only authorization of construction of new buildings but additions, and modifications to existing buildings. The level of building permit activity is often cyclical and governed
by local economic conditions and trends generalized across the various categories of of construction such as residential, commercial or industrial. The level of building permit activity
is an expression of community reinvestment and increasing assessed valuation. Code Enforcement -Cases Opened & Closed This performance measure is indicative of the identification and

continue to rise it becomes important to offer more placement choices to our cremation families. Revenue From Lot Sales Newly developed property will have to be more creative and supported
by local advertising to sustain lot sales. Development that takes advantage of views and allowing more upright monument space will help sales revenue. PERFORMANCE MEASURES -CEMETERY

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section IV: Operating Budget PERFORMANCE MEASURES -GOLF COURSE FUND Number of Winter Rounds Played Winter play November through March makes up approximately
12-15% of our annual green fee revenue. The number of rounds played during this part of the season has increased due to improvements that have made the course drier and more playable
during these months. People who play winter golf are a small percentage of people who play summer golf. During the past two winters, this number has been impacted further by a difficult
economy and below average weather. Through our special Winter Tournament Series and our E-Mail Marketing Campaigns, we intend to increase our market share of winter golfers by offering
competitive rates while spreading the word about our drier conditions. Annual Revenue Facility revenues increased dramatically in 2007 and again in 2008 due to the addition of power
cart rentals, pro shop sales, and restaurant concessions. During this same period, green fee revenue increased by $110,00 in 2007 and by an additional $120,000 in 2008. This was due
to an increase in rounds played as well as an increase in the green fee rate structure. In order to remain competitive in our local market, rates have been held constant for the 2009
and 2010 seasons. The combination of the difficult economy and below average weather conditions resulted in a decrease of total rounds played over the past two seasons. With the economy
beginning to stabilize, average weather conditions, and a slight increase in our rates, revenues should increase significantly over the next two seasons. 10,847 9,393 11,239 11,500 11,750

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section IV: Operating Budget During the 2007 & 2008 seasons, rounds played continued to rise to a high just over 56,000 rounds. The economic downturn and below
average weather since the beginning of 2009 have caused rounds played to decrease approximately 12% during this period. With improved economic activity and average weather, rounds are
expected to return the 2008 level over the next two seasons. PERFORMANCE MEASURES -GOLF COURSE FUND Total Rounds Played Per Year 50,500 56,593 51,754 49,500 52,500 55,500 0 20,000 40,000

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section V: Budget Details Administrative Structure Perhaps the most common way of viewing the organization of the City is by administrative structure. The opposite
page presents the budget from this perspective. The administrative structure is based upon the reporting relationships – what people and functions are accountable to which department.
The criteria of organizing a City administratively are based on the grouping of specific work tasks or skills into groups with similar or related characteristics. This creates more efficiency,
eliminates duplication of effort and allows the diversity of the City to be managed consistently. For example, it is more efficient for the accounts of the City to be handled centrally
where trained staff can be provided. Likewise, it is more efficient to share engineering skills than for each utility to have separate engineering staff. The administrative structure
of the City consists of the Mayor and nine department heads. The larger departments are are then subdivided into divisions. The nine departments are: Administrative or Support Departments:
Mayor and Council Provides overall administration to the entire City. Also includes expenditures related to the operation of the City Council. The Communications division provides central
administrative services such as communication, printing and mailing services. The Community Services division provides human services grants for local non profit agencies, neighborhood
outreach and cultural diversity programs. This division also administers the City’s Community Development Block Grant. Human Resources This department provides centralized personnel
services to all City services, administers the Auburn Municipal Court, and provides risk management services throughout the City. Human Resources also include the Civil Service Division,
which applies to Police and Fire services. Property Management oversight is also provided. Finance Provides centralized budgeting and financial reporting services to all City departments.
Finance also provides other central administrative services such as billing of City utilities. City Attorney Provides centralized legal and City Clerk services to all City Departments.
Information Services Provides oversight for all technology and media production for the City. Line Departments: Planning and Development Planning and Development provides City wide land
use planning and environmental protection. The Permitting and Inspections division are also centralized in the Planning department. Public Safety Provides all police, emergency management
services and Auburn jail services. Public Works Includes engineering, all utilities, equipment rental and streets. Parks Provides recreational services and maintains park facilities.
Parks includes providing senior citizen services and the management of the Cemetery and Golf Course. Costs are allocated to the departments on the facing page. Expenditures are accounted
for on the basis of where the authority for the expenditure lies rather than by the fund or function. Page 239

the program budgets of the General Fund. The total public safety budget, which includes Police, Jail Court, Probation and Civil Service, is 52.6% of the General Fund. Police services
are 35.7% of the General Fund, of which the largest police program is operations. Jail services are 11% of the total General Fund, while Municipal Court, Probation and Civil Services
are 5.9%. Parks, Arts and Recreation account for 13.2% of the General Fund with 7.7% dedicated to Recreation and Park Facilities and 1.4% to Senior Services. The remainder of the General

Services Coordinator in 2011 and 2012 along with budget reductions for a net impact of $8,050 and $138,850 reductions for both years respectively. This Program Improvement request for
the 2011-2012 budget cycle will correspond to all but six months of the animal services contract with KC. The substantive efforts of this contract position is to significantly increase
the current low licensing percentage within the City and will provide the Mayor/Council with the ability to evaluate future animal services opportunities from a different and more positive
financial perspective. Specific tasks, timeframes and performance measures will be established to track efforts and gauge success. For the 2011 budget year, a performance measure of
a 10% increase in the current citywide pet licensing percentage is estimated and for the 2012 budget year, a 15% increase is proposed. The proposed performance measures will constitute
a 25% increase in the percentage (43%) of licensed pets in the City over the biennial budget period. The pecentage increase in licensed pets will directly correspond to the amount the
City is required to pay KC during the contract period because as the percentage of licensed pets increase the City sees a corresponding credit on the costs of services from KC. (8,050)
2011 (138,850) 2012 Contract position (30 hours/week) to coordinate marketing and public education within the City of Auburn to increase the current percentage of licensed dogs and cats
-estimated to be approx 18% which is currently funded in the 2010 Budget. This request is funded by additional licensing fees generated by this position and will be credited to the City
by King County (KC) in the form of reduced animal control payments. The anticipated net impact to the General Fund is a reduction of $8,050 in 2011 and $138,850 in 2012. The alternative
for the City is to rely upon KC's marketing and public education efforts to support increased licensing in the City. As a countywide effort, the City will likely see a lower level of
service within the city limits. This approach does not provide the City with direct control over marketing and education efforts, methods, times and messages and limits the City's ability
to establish performance measures and track individual and collective performance against City needs and goals. Alternatives: Kevin Snyder Planning Implications of Denial: Advantages
of Approval: REQUEST FOR PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT Description of Improvement: The City has entered into a 2.5 year contract with KC for the provision of animal control services. The fees
for this service are attributed to the percentage of licensed dogs and cats with the result that the higher the licensing percentage the lower the cost of service to the City. The contract
Animal Services Coordinator will provide the City with a position that is focused exclusively on significantly increasing this percentage. Cost: Contract Animal Services Coordinator

information is learned at a very rapid pace. It is critical that the investigator in the field receive the information in a timely manner. Cost: Blackberry Devices for Detective Unit
Conclusion: $2,050 has been added to the 2011 Drug Forfeiture Fund budget to purchase Blackberry devices for the detective unit. Annual communication charges has been budgeted in the
General Fund for 2011 and 2012 . Certain information can be given to investigators via telephone. However, suspect photos and bulletins will require another person to hand deliver them
in the field. $2,490 To upgrade the Investigations Unit to BlackBerry devices. The upgrade will affect 10 detectives. The devices will allow detectives to have access to important information
in a timely manner. Detectives in the field will have the ability to receive suspect photos sent from the station or another detective. Current yearly recurring costs for the Nextel
communication devices are approximately $1,240, this will increase by $440 annually. This request will be funded by fund balance in the Drug Forfeiture Fund and will have a $440 annual
net effect on the General Fund Maintain current cell phone plan. Alternatives: Bob Lee Police Implications of Denial: Advantages of Approval: Page 248

1 6,530 REQUEST FOR PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT Description of Improvement: The advantage of hosting a two day event would be to attract more people to the City of Auburn and to expose more
of the pet related services to more people. A two-day event could spur hotel stays from vendors who travel to the event from out of the area. The event may also appeal to more sponsors
as it has more exposure to more people. Cost: Petpalooza two-day event The event raises awareness of pets, generates visibility of pet-related services in the area and draws people from
throughout the region to the City of Auburn. In 2012, staff is proposing to create a two-day event for Petpalooza. Additional expenditures would be required for overnight security for
vendors and the park; one day of additional stage entertainment, inflatables and other activities, overtime for Park Maintenance staff; equip. rentals and the potential for a two-day
Dock Dogs event which would also need the additional rental of bleachers. It is anticipated that a two-day Petpalooza would attract over 16,000 people to Game Farm Park.This request
will be funded by increased sponsorships and will have a $8,000 net effect on the General Fund. Conclusion: $16,530 has been added to the 2012 General Fund budget for the Petpalooza
two-day event. We anticipate raising vendor fees slightly and with a two-day event, should be able to attract more event sponsors. Net revenue for Petpalooza in 2010 was $17,835. It
is anticipated that in 2012, a two-day event would have a net revenue of $10,000. $16,530 Since it's inception in 2008, Petpalooza has grown into a regional special event. In it's current
state, the event includes a registration-based 3K/5K Dog Trot pet/owner fun run, animal-related entertainment, children's activities, unleashed pet contests, a petting zoo, over 150
vendor booths, Skyhoundz Disc Dog Championships, Seattle Fly Dog demonstrations, three agility areas, a pet parade and food concessions. In 2009, Petpalooza was awarded LERN'S Int'l
Award for "Best New Program", as well as several awards from WA Festival and Events (WFEA) including a Gold Medal in the Community Service Program category, a Silver Medal for Best Overall

of funding the ACP in the 2011 & 2012 budget cycle would be to continue to provide this unique unique opportunity for individuals interested in participating locally in performing art
opportunities and expanding the offerings at the Auburn Avenue Theater. The excitement and passion generated by the inaugural production of ACP would be carried into further years. Cost:
Auburn Community Players Conclusion: $26,000 has been added to the 2011 and 2012 General Fund budget for the Auburn Community Players program. The ACP was conducted on a trial basis
at the Auburn Avenue Theater in 2010 and turned out to be a complete success, with ticket sales covering the production costs and hundreds of people supporting the production. If it
is not funded in 2011 or 2012, the community would lose the energy created in 2010 by the cast, crew, musicians, and producers who want to see and participate in high quality performances
at the Auburn Avenue Theater and audience members who will generate attendance for both ACP performances and other performances at the Auburn Avenue Theater. $26,000 The Cultural Arts
Division is proposing to develop the Auburn Community Players (ACP) as a means to enhance and contribute to the cultural life and downtown vitality of Auburn. An active community based
theatrical troupe not only brings quality live theater to local audiences, but provides valuable experiences and opportunities for local aspiring actors, musicians and theater professionals.
Presenting theater through an out of area travelling troupe, often proves financially over-burdensome, and being able to foster and promote local talent and create a quality theater
experience locally is beneficial to all citizens. A regular commitment to partner and support this project would potentially allow two musical plays per year, in spring and fall, and
would present 8 shows per play for a total of 16 shows a year. The ACP debuted in 2010 at the Auburn Avenue Theater with their inaugural production of "Into the Woods". This request
will be funded by additional ticket sales and will have a zero net effect on the General Fund. The alternative alternative would be to fund one production a year at a cost of $12,000,
or to not fund any productions by the ACP in 2011 or 2012. Alternatives: Daryl Faber Parks, Arts & Recreation Implications of Denial: Advantages of Approval: Page 250

Fund budget for tree removal at Pioneer Cemetery. If trees fail, may cause harm to persons or personal property. $30,000 Removal of 8 dangerous trees at Pioneer Cemetery, grind stumps
and replace with new 6 inch caliper Maple trees. This request will be funded by the General Fund and will have a $30,000 net effect on the General Fund in 2011. The trees are dangerous
and it is no longer a question of "if" they will fail, but "when" they will fail. The trees are approximately 60 feet tall. 40 years ago they were topped which has caused a slow decay
from the top down. We have had the trees pruned so that more weight on the trees is on the side of the tree facing into the cemetery and away from Auburn Way North. In the last ten years,
two of the trees have failed and fallen on their own, both fell into the cemetery only causing minimal damage and fortunately no injuries or deaths to people. The trees have been rated
by the city arborist, as well as an independent arborist, and they are both in agreement that they need to come down as soon as possible. There is only about 3 to 5 inches of hard wood
holding these trees upright, the center of the trees are completely rotten from the ground up. The alternative is to leave them standing and hope we get through another two year cycle
without having another tree fail. Alternatives: Daryl Faber Parks Implications of Denial: Advantages of Approval: Page 251

General Fund budget for the elimination of Active On-line Convenience Fees. With the removal of convenience fees our customers are more likely to use the on-line feature resulting in
fewer phone calls and front counter transactions. Feedback we have received from our customers has told us that they do not use the on-line feature because of the fees associated with
it. $26,500 Currently, the Parks, Arts & Recreation Dept processes approx. 19,000 transactions annually. Of those transactions, only 2.4% are conducted on-line at Auburn At Play. The
customer pays an average convenience fee of $5.57 based on an average transaction amount of $78.00 when registering on-line. This request would eliminate the convenience fee to the customer
and the cost of the fee would be incurred by the city. By eliminating the fee to the customer, we believe that on-line registrations would increase to approximately 25% of total registrations,
resulting in approx. $4,750 annual online transactions. The cost to the city would be approx. $26,500 (4,750 x $5.57) that it would pay directly to Active, the third party vendor. The
Parks, Arts & Recreation Department would increase its fees by $1.40 per transaction to offset this cost to the city resulting in an increase in revenue of approx. $26,500 (19,000 x
x $1.40). This request will be funded by increased revenues in the General Fund and will have a zero net effect on the General Fund. Continue to offer on-line registration with convenience
fees with a greater emphasis on advertising this feature. Alternatives: Daryl Faber Parks Implications of Denial: Advantages of Approval: REQUEST FOR PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT Description
of Improvement: By increasing on-line transactions to the 25% level, we would experience an equivalent decrease in over the phone and front counter transactions. This would result in
the one full-time Registration Clerk being able to respond to phone calls and front desk customers in a more timely manner. In addition, our customers would now have the ability and
convenience of registering for a program on-line without having to pay any additional fees, the primary reason is that only 2.4% or our total registrations are currently conducted on-line.

hand dig holes in areas of hard pack and rocks, more specifically the hills around the valley floor. $$10,000 Acquire a machine that can easily core through concrete and auger through
hard soils for street sign installation. Currently when new street signs need to be installed in existing sidewalk the hole for the post is jack hammered out risking the possibility
of damaging the sidewalk beyond the scope of the hole. The auger system would increase efficiency in digging holes for posts outside the valley floor area where hard pack soil and rocks
are likely to be found. The annex area, acquired from the county, has wood posts for street signs that are rotting away and need to be replaced with city standard metal posts. This request
will be funded by reducing intergovernmental services for one year to pay for the cost of this equipment and will have a zero net effect on the General Fund. There are sign post brackets
that can be roto-hammered and bolted into concrete sidewalks. Continue jack-hammering the holes in the sidewalks. Continue hand digging hard packed areas with post hole digger. Alternatives:

Spillman Imaging to replace Dynamic Imaging product. Spillman has developed an imaging system that is superior in performance to our current Dynamic Imaging product. The imaging system
is used by both the PD and Jail staff for booking photos as well as staff photos for security purposes. The Dynamic Imaging Product does not 'mesh" very well with Spillman as it requires
extra steps to incorporate photos and offers limited capabilities than the new Spillman Imaging System. Additionally, the Spillman Records Management System (RMS) will require costly
upgrades to ensure it continues to work with the Dynamic Imaging System when the Spillman 6 upgrade is completed later in 2010. The Spillman Imaging System will allow a more "seamless"

and in need of replacement. The value is less than $500 and will not be fixed should any major issue/breakdown occur. The van hauls hundreds of supplies that would have to be removed
to dry storage and then re-packed into several cars for major crime scene call-outs. The packing/unpacking and re-packing would be never ending and leads to the duplication of effort
by every team member and at every scene the team would assist at. $148,740 The Crime Scene Response Team is in need of a new Crime Scene Response Vehicle. The current vehicle is in disrepair
and does not allow for the proper transportation of tools and supplies necessary to process major crime scenes. Currently, the CSRT/Traffic Investigators respond to crime scenes and
fatality/serious injury collisions with as many as 10 or more vehicles to handle various responsibilities. This vehicle would enable all the necessary supplies to be stored in one central
location, allow for the transporting of numerous CSRT investigators, and also allow for "real time" processing and storage of evidence in a secure, climate controlled, and professionally
maintained unit. The current crime scene vehicle is in disrepair and if there is a need for any major repair, M&O will surplus. An improvement in this area would be consistent with our
mission 1. Keep the current CSRT van and multiple vehicle response system. 2. Decommission the van altogether and leave the response based on individual/situational needs. 3. Contract

for the Vactor upgrade. Purchasing a Hydro-Excavator that is designed for excavation will cut down on vehicle repairs and will be more efficient on projects as they are built stronger
and are more durable. Continuing to rely on older vactors will defer an improvement in productivity productivity that is now made feasible by this new type of excavator that is intentionally
designed for the purpose of performing emergency trench excavation. $171,000 Our current Vactor is scheduled for replacement in 2011; this request is to upgrade our vactor from a standard
duty machine to a hydro excavator which is a heavy duty machine designed to process large abrasive debris (rock) without damage to the suction fan. This feature is not included in a
conventional vactor because most users do not attempt to utilize a conventional vactor to dig trenches. The cost for the new machine is approx. $550,000 which is considerably higher
than the available $320,000 in the equipment rental fund for this replacement. The additional cost of a hydro excavator will be offset using the following funding sources: Hydro Excavator
Price $550,000, Vactor Replace $292,000 Equip. Rental Fund, truck not replaced $87,000 ER&R Fund and $171,000 Water Fund. Purchase a standard duty vactor, which is not designed for excavation
excavation tasks and wears out much faster resulting in extensive down time for repairs and reduces work crew production rates. Additionally, the repairs often involve replacing specialized
vacuum pump and piping equip which are typically very expensive. Alternatives: Dennis Dowdy Public Works -Water Utility Implications of Denial: Advantages of Approval: Obtain proper
type of equip for the type of work intended to be performed. The City's conventional vactors are not designed to excavate trenches, which saves time and often avoids damage to other
underground utilities during an emergency repair of water, sewer or storm facilities. A vactor is safer for our crews while exposing an underground utility than with back hoes & shovels
due to possible natural gas or energized electrical conduits. We have retained one of the city's oldest vactors for this purpose; however, due to its design it is often in the shop and
not 100% available as we would expect the new type of excavator to be. Having a better built excavator will help reduce down time, save money on restoration of other utilities in the
trench and on maintenance of the vactor and will be more efficient on jobs. New hydro excavator trucks are built stronger and are designed to be used as trench excavators. Most work
will be performed by City utilities when performing emergency trench excavation if it is procured, this will extend the life of our other three conventional vactors by freeing them of
this type of work that they are not designed to perform. REQUEST FOR PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT Description of Improvement: Cost: Vactor Upgrade Page 258

$223,940 Complete correcting the items listed on the Facility Improvement List identified during the facilities audit conducted by McKinstry with the purpose of increasing the life of
a system/piece of equipment and/or reducing utility costs. The estimated cost is $273,923 excluding sales tax. These include control upgrade (City Hall), lighting upgrade (City Hall),
demand controlled ventilation (Justice Center), air handler unit set back (Justice Center), re-commissioning (Justice Center), off hours timers for HVAC and override control for a portion

Information Services Fund budget for the Computer Aided Dispatch replacement project. If we do not do this it will slow down the time it takes to create and report on cases. It will
require staff to hand enter the case data from officers hand written notes. This would require additional staff in the Police Records Management section to enter data into the Spillman
Police Records Management System which creates state and federally mandated criminal justice reporting and statistics. $30,000 ValleyCom is replacing their aging CAD (Computer-Aided
Dispatch) system with one from a different vendor called Tiburon. The City will need an interface built to receive data from the new CAD system and populate into our RMS (Records Management
System). In addition, there will be AVL (Automatic Vehicle Locator) systems installed in patrol cars that will help to automate unit routing to enhance response times by sending the
closest available vehicle to the incident. This request will be funded by fund balance in the Information Services Fund and will have a zero net effect on the General Fund. The records
staff could go back to the procedures of the 1980's and hand enter each case manually but this would be very time consuming and detail and accuracy would be lost. CAD system enhancements
such as automated routing could be turned off for Auburn increasing our response times and our cost of service. Alternatives: Lorrie Rempher Information Services Implications of Denial:
Advantages of Approval: REQUEST FOR PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT Description of Improvement: The advantage of the interface is when an officer finishes the report in the field, the case data
is automatically sent to our RMS system from ValleyCom and there is no need to enter the data manually. The officer or records personnel can then look up and modify the case immediately
without having to wait for manual data entry. Faster, more efficient response for public safety. Cost: CAD Replacement Project Page 263

payroll time entry can be shifted from a paper time sheet system with centralized time entry data input to an electronic time entry system where each employee can enter their own payroll
activity. This system also allows access through a web page for an employee to view their own various human resource and payroll related information. The employee can view or reprint
tax withholding information, current and past pay check stub information, employee leave usage, etc. Supervisors can view their employees' leave usage information while access to the

hours as manual paper processes are transformed into faster and more efficient handling—thus enhancing how staff manages, generates, stores, and delivers forms and reports. Actual paper
handling is reduced, thereby lowering overhead to print, fax, e-mail, fold, stuff, and physically mail documents. A Laserfiche permanent archive report can be created automatically at
the same time a regular Eden processing report is created. Readily provide information for past years without additional man hours for retrieving information from archives. If Laserfiche
becomes certified by the State Archivist then this purchase can reduce the amount of hard copy archive storage space, boxes, and man-hours required to maintain state mandated information
storage/retrieval. It can also assist in automation of document retrieval for public record requests if documents are electronically stored. Immediate availability of information enhances
financial analysis and promotes availability of accurate, more extensive information for decision making. Time and money spent on manual boxing, filing, managing and disposing of archive
records are avoided. Cost: Automate Report Distrib/Laserfiche Integration TOP software provides an automated paperless distribution system that reduces printing and mailing costs of
Eden financial information. Eden/Laserfiche interface allows for electronic archival/retrieval of scanned documents without adding to the Eden financial database. For example, batch
processed forms such as paychecks can be sent off to multiple recipients in multiple fashions. When running checks, each individual employee could have their delivery preference set
to hardcopy printer and/or email. Copies of payroll stubs could automatically be stored in Laserfiche with easy electronic retrieval months later to provide copies per employee requests.
Purchase orders could be sent electronically to user areas (and/or vendors) rather than printing centrally in Finance, sorting and interoffice delivery to various user departments. Permanent
invoice and other record retention information for fixed assets could be stored electronically for the life of the asset in Laserfiche. Information from adjusting journal entries could
be available in current and future years with a click of a button rather than going to find a manual copy in a file cabinet or archive box. Immediate availability of information enhances

Survey GPS Equipment to protect against equipment failure and allow additional efficiencies in work performance and staff time. The GPS equipment is nearly 7 years old and is relied
upon to provide survey grade positions for many types of survey control on multiple city projects each week. Since the original purchase of the existing equipment, GPS technology has
continued to advance and now includes the ability to use additional satellites through the Russian Glonass system in addition to the US Satellite system. The use of the existing GPS
equipment is hindered during certain times of the year and certain times of the day due to the lack of a sufficient number of satellites to reference to. New equipment will have the

There is no ability to reduce facilities expenses and the cost of off-site storage of of paper records. There is an increased potential for loss of paper records during disaster, such
as flooding. Potential for increased discovery costs. $63,000 Purchase and implement electronic record management software to meet the standards set by WA State for electronic imaging
systems that may legally be used for recording, producing, reproducing, maintaining, and storing public records and allow the early destruction of source paper documents after digitization.
The City uses Laserfiche software for electronic document imaging; but conversion to an imaging system does not automatically authorize the destruction of the source documents for which
images have been created. In order to receive WA State certification of the City's electronic imaging system, the City will need to upgrade our current system with Laserfiche Records
Management module and Workflow. State certification will allow electronic images to serve as primary record copies. To obtain certification, the City must be able to perform the same
essential records management functions with the electronic images as are performed with paper records. Per WAC 434-663-705, the system used to store and access the imaged records must

for phone system upgrades. State Law requires that we have a 911 locator service associated with our in-house phone system. If we do not implement this system or spend equivalent funding
to upgrade the existing system which has less flexibility, we will be out of compliance. As phone systems become more tightly integrated with computer systems, we risk not being able
to implement efficiencies in communications and office productivity tools that will enhance our ability to support the citizens of Auburn. $50,000 Implementation of Cisco's Emergency
Responder and Unity Connection for voicemail services and 911 location information. This request will be funded by fund balance in the Information Services Fund and will have a zero
net effect on the General Fund. Stay on existing systems Alternatives: Lorrie Rempher Information Services Implications of Denial: Advantages of Approval: In addition to Unity, we will
need to upgrade to Emergency Responder for 911 location services. The current system, Intrado, is nearing end of life. Additionally, Emergency Responder which is required by State law
for 911 location services, will greatly improve system management thus reducing man-hours needed for maintenance and updates. Emergency Responder, in conjunction with CallManager and
Cisco's network infrastructure, will allow us to build intelligence into the desk phones so they will recognize when they've been moved to a new zone and will automatically update 911
information. This eliminates the need for staff to manually update 911 information with the current system Intrado. REQUEST FOR PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT Description of Improvement: The City
of Auburn is in the process of converting all desk phones to Cisco's VoIP solution. By end of 2010 we will have completed over 50% of system upgrades city-wide. We will continue this
process in 2011 and as part of this upgrade to Cisco phones we will also need to implement the associated voicemail system which includes other features that can significantly enhance
voice services and worker productivity such as one-number reach (a single number for cellular/wifi/desk phones), voicemail integration in email, fax in/out of mailbox, etc. Cost: Phone

Services Fund budget for the Multimedia refresh of Council Chambers project. If we do not upgrade the equipment as requested, we cannot provide the room coverage and broadcast quality
that presents Auburn's government and public functions in the best possible light. The existing systems are now more than seven years old and have started to fail. $75,000 Move existing
AV equipment, and incorporate some equipment upgrades to support new floor plan during City Hall remodel project. In year two, we will work to expand systems to allow for filming of
committee and special meetings and events. This request will be funded by a transfer out from the General Fund from the new Comcast franchise user fee (.35 per customer per month) to
the Information Services Fund and will have a zero net effect on the General Fund. Move and re-use existing equipment with no upgrades which will result in lower quality government access
cable television services to citizens. Do not expand broadcast capabilities. Alternatives: Lorrie Rempher Information Services Implications of Denial: Advantages of Approval: REQUEST
FOR PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT Description of Improvement: The City Hall remodel project calls for significant changes in the Council Chambers to increase square footage, increased audience
seating, incorporate a Council recess room, moves and increases the layout of the Mayor & Council bench and staff seating areas. This will require moving the AV control room and equipment
to accommodate the new space. Given the significant increase in the size of the room; and the new seating arrangements, it will be important to upgrade some existing AV equipment to
support these changes. New cameras, projection equipment, sound equipment, and audio/video inputs will need to be installed to ensure we have the capability to record & broadcast meetings
and events in the Council Chambers with the best possible sound and image quality. The system upgrades will also allow us to integrate the TV21 broadcasts into the control equipment.

of Improvement: Our street crews will have the correct piece of equipment for the task at hand improving not only the efficiency of the task, but saving
fuel to haul a single roller back and forth between sites. Our ability to execute a paving and grading job concurrently will be more productive. Cost: Used Vibratory Roller and Trailer
Conclusion: $45,000 has been added to the 2011 Equipment Rental Fund budget to purchase a used Vibratory Roller and Trailer. Possible lower level of service and inefficient time driving
equipment from one jobsite to another; or operating one of the two tasks (paving vs. grading). $45,000 Acquire a "used" vibratory roller for compaction during grading operations in lieu
of "new" equipment. Currently the street division relies on a single asphalt roller to compact gravel surfaces after grading alleys, roads and shoulders. Generally asphalt paving and
grading occur at the same time during favorable weather. This creates a challenge juggling one piece of equipment between two concurrent operations. This improvement would also provide
the right piece of equipment for gravel surfaces, preventing higher wear on a roller designed for asphalt as well as improve the efficiency of each crew dispatched to perform concurrent
tasks requiring compaction. Continue transporting the existing roller between various jobs which is an inefficient way to utilize resources. Rent a roller which is costly and may sit
idle due to weather conditions. Alternatives: Dennis Dowdy Public Works -Street Division Implications of Denial: Advantages of Approval: Page 279

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section VII: Capital Planning SECTION VII: CAPITAL PLANNING, PROGRAMMING AND BUDGETING The capital budget authorizes and provides the basis of control of expenditures
for the acquisition of significant city assets and construction of all capital facilities. This section describes and summarizes the 2011-2012 budget for capital outlays, which are expenditures
resulting in the acquisition of or addition to existing capital assets. Capital assets are defined as land, improvements to land, easements, buildings, building improvements, vehicles,
machinery, equipment, infrastructure, and all other tangible or intangible assets that are used in operations and that have initial useful lives extending beyond a single reporting period.
The City of Auburn maintains a comprehensive six-year Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) which is updated annually and incorporates the capital facility improvements in the City’s biennial
budget process. It is considered a companion document to the budget document. document. This section of the budget summarizes the Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) showing capital projects
budgeted for 2011 and 2012 along with the capital facilities plan for these projects in the following four years. Projects are listed in the following seven sections: Transportation
projects, Water Utility projects, Sanitary Sewer projects, Storm Drainage projects, Parks and Recreation projects, General Municipal projects, Community Improvements, and Other Proprietary
Fund projects. Each section includes a map highlighting the general location of significant projects, a brief discussion of the projects budgeted for 2011 and 2012, a six-year summary
of projects showing the cost and funding source, and two graphs – one showing a comparison of revenue sources for 2011 vs. 2012, and another showing the projected six-year expenditure
level. For more detail, reference should be made to the Capital Facilities Plan (2011 – 2016) that is printed as a separate document. It contains an executive summary along with three
chapters. Chapter One explains the purpose of the CFP, statutory requirements, and methodology. Chapter Two outlines the Goals and Policies related to the provision of capital facilities.
Chapter Three outlines the proposed capital projects, which include the financing plan and reconciliation of project capacity to level of service (LOS) standards. Following the financing
plan are individual worksheets showing the project detail. For reconciliation purposes, it is important to note that in many instances the total project cost will include amounts allocated
for salaries, benefits and interfund charges. Each worksheet, in addition to the project financing, includes a project description, progress summary, and impact on future operating budgets
once the project is completed. Page 283

Budgets (Annual Maintenance Cost): $0 Project Name: Harvey Rd. & 8th St. NE Intersection Improvements The S Auburn ITS Expansion project includes connecting and providing new ITS infrastructure
on 15th St SW, C St SW and A St SE. It also includes 6th St SE, A St SE and 41st St SE, (Ellingson Road). This ITS expansion will be accomplished through existing conduits recently installed
under capital improvement projects, and with wireless line of sight options. With this extension and additional equipment the project adds an additional 14 signals to the existing central
signal system and brings back new cameras along three heavily congested corridors. Project Name: South Auburn Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Expansion This project will widen
the roadway to accommodate an extension of the two way left turn lane, add curb & gutter, storm drainage, repair failing roadway surface; install sidewalk on one side of the roadway;
install city standard street lighting, improve bicycle accommodations, and install a new traffic signal at the intersection of W Main St and W Valley Highway. This project will improve
the capacity, safety, and driving comfort of the corridor as well as reduce the amount of time maintenance staff spends doing temporary repairs. Project Name: West Valley Hwy Improvements

2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section VIII: Appendices History of Auburn The city of Auburn, located 20 miles south of Seattle, was home to some of the earliest white settlers in King County.
Nestled in a fertile river valley, Auburn has been both a farm community and a center of business and industry for more than 150 years. Auburn is located near the original confluence
of the Green and White rivers, both of which contain runoff water from the Cascade Mountain range. The valley was originally the home of the Skopamish, Smalhkamish, and Stkamish Indian
tribes. The first white men in the region were explorers and Auburn Hardware Store, 1915, White River Valley Museum traders who arrived in the 1830s. Settlers first came to the valley
in the 1850s. On October 27, 1855, an Indian ambush killed nine people, including women and children. In November, a military unit led by Lieutenant William Slaughter camped near what
is now present-day Auburn. On December 4, 1855, a group of Indians attacked, killing Lt. Slaughter Slaughter and two other men. A new treaty was written which provided the establishment
of the Muckleshoot reservation, which is the only Indian reservation now within the boundaries of King County. The White River tribes collectively became known as the Muckleshoot tribe.
White settlers, the Neely and Ballard families began returning to the area. In 1891, the town of Slaughter incorporated. Although many older citizens considered the town’s name as a
memorial, many newer residents understandably felt uncomfortable with it. Within two years, the town was renamed Auburn, taken from the first line of Oliver Goldsmith’s poem, The Deserted
Village: “Sweet Auburn! Loveliest village of the plain.” Auburn had been a bustling center for hop farming until 1890 when the crops were destroyed by aphids. After that, the farms were
mostly dairy farms and berry farms. Nevertheless, flooding was still a problem for Auburn farmers up until the Howard Hanson Dam was built in 1962. This dam on the Green River, along
with the Mud Mountain Dam on the White River, provided controlled river management, which left the valley nearly flood-free. Another impetus to Auburn’s growth was the railroad. The
Northern Pacific Railroad put a rail line through town in 1883, but it was the Seattle-Tacoma Interurban line that allowed easy access to both cities starting in 1902. The Interurban
allowed farmers to get their product to the markets within hours after harvest. The railroad, along with better roads, caused many new companies to set up business in Auburn, among them
the Borden Condensery (which made Borden’s Condensed Milk) and the Northern Clay Company. Auburn grew through the twentieth century like many American towns. The 1920s were prosperous
for citizens, but the Great Depression of the 1930s left many in need. World War II brought great hardship to many local Japanese farmers when they were moved to internment camps and
their land taken from them. At the same time, local boys were sent to fight in the Pacific, and some died in battle. The postwar era was prosperous to Auburn, bringing more businesses
and a community college to the city. In 1963, The Boeing Company built a large facility to mill sheet metal skin for jet airliners. As time went on, many farms disappeared as the land
was converted to industrial use. In the 1990s, a large super-mall was built in the valley, enticing consumers from all over the Puget Sound region. Auburn has made the transition from
small farms to large industries, but much of the city’s history remains. A monument in the memory of Lieutenant Slaughter, erected in 1918, still stands in a local park. The Neely Mansion,
built by the son of a pioneer in 1891, has been refurbished and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Auburn’s downtown still maintains a “Main Street U.S.A” appearance.

3572011-2012 Biennial Budget Section VIII: Appendices About Auburn For over 100 years the city of Auburn has been providing visitors and residents with the opportunity to discover why
this town is like no other. Auburn is the land of two rivers, home to two nations and spread across two counties. Located between Seattle and Tacoma in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, Auburn
is the perfect place to work, play and spend a lifetime. It is a warm, embracing community where people still stop to say hello. Auburn is a community rich in history where you’ll find
new businesses mingling with old and a historic downtown getting acquainted with a new, modern facade. Auburn is strategically close to Seattle and Tacoma Auburn is centrally located
between Seattle and Tacoma in the heart of the Green River Valley with easy access to the best of both cities. Auburn is a quick 30 minute drive to all Seattle has to offer and more,
and a 20 minute drive to Tacoma. Amenities like Pike Place Market, Benaroya Hall, Seattle Art Museum and Tacoma Chihuly Museum of Glass are all within easy reach. Sustainable Business
Prices Auburn, with its close proximity and all the advantages of Seattle and Tacoma, still has sustainable business prices. And although there is an influx of people into the Auburn
community, housing prices are still affordable. Mt. Rainier and Outdoor Lifestyle Auburn is about one hour from Mt. Rainier, Crystal Mountain and Snoqualmie Ski Area. It is also home
to several biking and walking trails, including the White and Green River trails and the Interurban Trail. Auburn has approximately 30 parks of all sizes for the whole family to enjoy.
There are three golf courses in Auburn: the Auburn Golf Course, Washington National Golf Club, and Jade Green Golf Course & Driving Range. Education Auburn has reason to be proud of
its schools. They pride themselves in providing an excellent education that produces students who have a love of learning and a sense of responsibility. Auburn boasts over two dozen
elementary, middle, and high schools, each one unique, but all offering a supportive learning environment designed to foster each student’s natural abilities. Green River Community College,
the city’s “Harvard on the Hill,” provides the serious student a quiet, natural environment in which to study. This is a community that puts learning and education first. Urban Transportation
Take the Sounder Train to Seattle. Avoid the traffic and rest, read or log onto your laptop as you take the 20 minute ride from Auburn to Seattle to work, shop, or do business. Sound
Transit recently added another train and has seven morning and seven evening trains traveling from Auburn into Seattle and back. Eventually, there will be nine trains in the morning
and nine in the evening. With South King County’s rapid growth, morning trains from Seattle to Auburn will be added soon. Sense of Community in Historic Downtown Come establish a sense
of community in one of the oldest cities in the state of Washington. With unique architecture, combined with historic preservation and renovations, Auburn has retained the look and feel
of a real downtown. Auburn’s unique historic downtown still provides a gathering place for numerous events. Page 358
2011-2012 Biennial Budget Section VIII: Appendices ARTS AND CULTURE City of Auburn Arts Commission Founded in 1985, the City of Auburn Arts Commission fosters cultural and economic growth
in Auburn through its various arts and education programs, including a growing public art collection, the City Hall Gallery and the Cheryl Sallee Gallery at the Senior Activity Center
featuring emerging regional artists, and the popular BRAVO Performing Arts Series, presenting national and internationally acclaimed touring shows, from dance, theatre and music to amazing
circus acts and children’s shows. Auburn Symphony Orchestra Auburn’s professional symphony includes 65-70 orchestra members, and has received wide press coverage for its superb performances.

is an eleven-hundred seat state-of-the-art venue conveniently located in downtown Auburn. The facility has been named in publication listings of the top acoustical halls for music performance
in the nation. Auburn Avenue Theater For over 30 years, the Auburn Avenue Theater has presented a diversity of live performances, including Broadway musicals, mystery theater, children's
theater, and concerts. The Douglas family, producers of the fine dinner theater featured at the Auburn Avenue Theater for over 20 years, leased the venue to the City of Auburn to continue
operating as a performing arts space. In 2007, The City of Auburn reopened the venue, expanding this timehonored tradition of live, quality performing arts, variety entertainment, children's
shows, dance and music, right in the heart of downtown. The theater building itself is over 80-years-old, however, the first structure to occupy the property over 100 years ago was a
carriage house for horses. When the automobile replaced horses as the major mode of transportation, the building was entirely reconstructed as the city's bus depot. New owners converted
it to a movie house in the 1940s and continued operating it as such until the mid-70s, when it underwent yet another conversion, this time as a performing arts theater venue. Since then,
The Auburn Avenue Theater has presented 27 seasons of dinner theater, the last of its kind in Western Washington. White River Valley Museum The White River Valley Museum is a partnership
with the City of Auburn and combines history and culture to create an exciting and educational experience for visitors. Museum collections focus on local Puget Sound history, Northwest
Indian culture, Japanese immigration and the Northern Pacific Railroad. The White River Valley Museum is working with the City of Auburn to restore Mary Olson Farm, the most intact 1880s
family farm in King County. It opened in late 2009 as a living history and environmental learning site. The farm is a King County Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places.
Significant features include an 1897 barn, a 1902 farmhouse and two salmon runs in Olson Creek. For more information visit www.wrvmuseum.org Page 359
