–Risk financing tool (higher deductible = lower cost but more risk)
Data and Cost Control
–Provides tools to develop risk management plans for potential further savings
No data or incentive with AWC (fixed premium)
–2007-2013 AWC Premiums have increased 79% ($1,086 to $1,940/mo full family)
Benefits Control and Flexibility
–City determines coverage

Stop Loss Insurance
What is Stop Loss Insurance?
–Protects the City from large claims that exceed a specific limit
within the plan year
2014 Optum Stop Loss Premium: $491,472
–12/12 contract (12 month incurred 12 month billed)
2015 Stop Loss will go to a 15-12 contract
–Covers 2014’s Oct-Dec billings received in 2015
–One time increase as the City shifts to a 15 month contract
5 DI.A Page 7 of 50
Stop Loss Coverage
“Individual or Specific” Deductible ($100,000)
–Reimburses the City when a claimant’s costs exceed the individual
limit ($100,000) within the plan year.
Example -Employee with kidney transplant incurs $500,000
over two year time period. 1st year has $25,000 in medical
bills & 2nd year has $475,000.
–Stop Loss will reimburse the City $375,000.
Year 1 = $0 (below the $100,000 stop loss)
Year 2 = $375,000 ($475,000 -$100,000 deductible = $375,000)
6 DI.A Page 8 of 50
Stop Loss Coverage
Aggregate Deductible ($4,315,828)
–Provides a ceiling by setting the City’s maximum financial liability for
medical expenses.
–Set at 125% of the actuarially determined expected claims.
–Excludes costs already reimbursed under the “Individual (Specific)
Stop Loss” by carrier (no double indemnity).
Example –An employee has a $6,000,000 claim only $100,000 counts
toward the $5,827,502 aggregate deductible as $5,900,000 will be paid
under the “Specific” stop loss deductible. Must have over 43 individual
$100,000 claims to ever reach this layer.

Re: Economic Impact of City of Auburn Arts & Events
In 2012, the Americans for the Arts released its Arts & Economic Propserity IV study to
showcase the economic impact of arts at national, state and local levels. Similar economic
studies have been conducted by the National Endowment for the Arts (Time and Money: Using
Federal Data to Measure the Value of Performing Arts Activities); the Washington State Arts
Commission (Creative Vitality 2010); and ArtsFund (2009 Economic Impact Study).
According to the Arts & Economic Prosperity IV study, the nonprofit arts and culture industry
generated $135.2 billion dollars of economic activity on a national level —$61.1 billion by the
nation’s nonprofit arts and culture organizations in addition to $74.1 billion in event-related
expenditures by their audiences. This economic activity supports 4.1 million full-time jobs. The
industry also generates $22.3 billion in revenue to local, state, and federal governments every
year—a yield well beyond their collective $4 billion in arts allocations.
Arts and culture organizations employ people locally, purchase goods and services from within
the community, and market and promote their regions. Arts organizations are rooted locally;
these are jobs that cannot be shipped overseas. Like most industries, the Great Recession left a
measurable financial impact on the arts—erasing the gains made during the pre-recession
years, and leaving 2010 expenditures three percent behind their 2005 levels. The biggest effect
of the recession was on attendance and audience spending. Inevitably, as people lost jobs and
worried about losing their houses, arts attendance—like attendance to sports events and
leisure travel—waned as well. Yet, even in a down economy, some communities saw an
increase in their arts spending and employment. As the economy rebounds, the arts are well
poised for growth. They are already producing new and exciting work—performances and
exhibitions and festivals that entertain, inspire, and attract audiences.
DI.B Page 19 of 50
Page 2 of 4
The Arts & Economic Prosperity IV study shows that arts and culture organizations leverage
additional event-related spending by their audiences that pumps revenue into the local
economy. When patrons attend an arts event they may eat dinner at a restaurant, shop in local
retail stores, and have dessert on the way home. Based on the survey conducted in the study,
the typical arts attendee in the population catetory of 50,000-99,999 spends $20.31 per person,
per event, NOT including the cost of admission. The chart details the leverage amount to
include refreshments during an event, meals before/after event, souvenirs and gifts, clothing or
accessories, transportation (gas, bus, taxi), child care, lodging, and miscellaneous expenses.
Median Per Person Event-Related Audience Spending
Population Category 50,000-99,999: $20.31
Communities that draw cultural tourists experience an additional boost of economic activity.
Tourism industry research has repeatedly demonstrated that arts tourists stay longer and spend
more than the average traveler. Arts & Economic Prosperity IV reflects those findings: 32
percent of attendees live outside the county in which the arts event took place, and their event-
related spending is more than twice that of their local. A vibrant arts community not only keeps
residents and their discretionary spending close to home, it also attracts visitors who spend
money and help local businesses thrive.
The Arts & Economic Prosperity IV study offers a free calculator tool to make it possible for the
City of Auburn to estimate the economic impact of spending related to City of Auburn Arts &
Events as well as spending by audiences. While many of the study areas encompass the entire
community, for this exercise, spending from Cultural Arts, Special Events and the Auburn
Avenue Theater budgets were used to evaluate the economic impact and the audience
spending was based on audiences from performing art programs, art exhibits and projects, the
Auburn International Farmers Market, City of Auburn community-wide special events, and
Auburn’s support of community cultural events (excluding the cost of admission).

(inclusive of salaries, benefits, supplies, professional services, rentals, misc., interfund, capital/leases, etc.)
Defining Economic Impact
The Americans for the Arts proprietary study uses four economic measures to define economic
impact: full-time equivalent jobs, resident household income, and local and state government
revenues.
Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Jobs describes the total amount of labor employed. Economists measure
FTE jobs, not the total number of employees, because it is a more accurate measure that accounts
for part-time employment.
Resident Household Income (often called Personal Income) includes salaries, wages, and
entrepreneurial income paid to local residents. It is the money residents earn and use to pay for
food, mortgages, and other living expenses.
Revenue to (3) Local and (4) State Government includes revenue from local and state taxes (e.g.,
income, property, sales, and lodging) as well as funds from license fees, utility fees, filing fees, and
other similar sources.
DI.B Page 21 of 50
Page 4 of 4
Direct and Indirect Economic Impact:
How a Dollar is Re-spent in the Economy
The Arts & Economic Prosperity IV study uses a sophisticated economic analysis called input-
output analysis to measure economic impact. It is a system of mathematical equations that
combines statistical methods and economic theory. Input-output analysis enables economists
to track how many times a dollar is “re-spent” within the local economy, and the economic
impact generated by each round of spending. How can a dollar be re-spent? Consider the
following example:
The Auburn Avenue Theater purchases several gallons of paint from a local hardware store for
$200. The hardware store then uses a portion of the $200 to pay the sales clerk; the sales clerk
re-spends some of the money at a grocery store; the grocery store uses some to pay its cashier;
the cashier spends some on rent; and so on ...
Thus, the initial expenditure by the theater company was followed by four additional rounds of
local spending (by the hardware store, the sales clerk, the grocery store, and the cashier).
• The economic impact of the theater company’s initial $200 expenditure is the direct
economic impact.
• The economic impacts of the subsequent rounds of local spending are the indirect impacts.
Eventually, the $200 dollars will “leak out” of the local economy (i.e., be spent non-locally) and
cease to have a local economic impact. In this example, if the theater company purchased the
paint from a non-local hardware store there would be no local economic impact. Since the
hardware store is located in City, the dollars remain within the local economy and create at
least one more round of local spending by the hardware company. The total impact is the sum
of the direct impact plus all indirect impacts.

Your support of arts, cultural
and scientific organizations keeps
our community vibrant.
Arts in our Lives
From arts to zoos, this region’s cultural organizations
give us endless and fascinating ways to understand
the world around us. They help unlock the mystery
and beauty of the physical world and of the human
heart and mind. They inspire innovation and creativity,
add to our sense of place and enhance our quality
of life. At the same time, our cultural organizations
enhance our position in a global marketplace and
drive our regional and state economies.
Arts in our economy
This study included 357 organizations in King, Kitsap,
Pierce and Snohomish Counties in Washington. It
included eight disciplines or types of organizations:
arts service organizations, dance, festivals, heritage,
music, science, theater and visual arts. The Great
Recession of 2008-09 has resulted in razor-thin profit
margins for many organizations. In an apples-to-
apples comparison with ArtsFund’s 2003 study we see
a steady number of visitors but an increased reliance
on discounted and free admissions, a reflection at
least in part of these economic times. Despite this
discounting, cultural organizations continue to
provide a significant economic impact. Our challenge
continues to be how to support these organizations
so they can continue adding value to the economy
and our lives.

PAtron exPenditures
Spending by cultural patrons reaches far beyond the ticket
office. Restaurants, hotels, retail shops and transportation-
related enterprises account for almost 70 percent of
spending related to attendance at cultural activities.
AggregAte income
Cultural organizations earn slightly more than half of what
they need to cover their expenses from ticket sales. The
remainder comes from a variety of contributed sources.
Because the pipeline of government support is comparatively
longer than for other funding sources, the share represented
here does not fully reflect the severity of government-
funding cuts at the time of the report’s publication.
AggregAte exPenditures
Most direct spending of cultural organizations goes for
employee expenses. These are expenses for jobs inside
the organizations and jobs with service providers outside
the organizations.

13.2 Million Visits in 2009
Annual admissions in 2009 totaled 13.2 million visits,
more than three and one-half times the total population
of the four counties. Of these annual admissions, 1.4
million were due to K-12 students experiencing cultural
institutions using free or discounted tickets.
A Delicate Balance Between Income
and Expenses
With total income budgets of $488 million and total
expenses of $482 million, cultural organizations are
just breaking even. Given the difficult state of the
economy during 2009, the fact that income was
slightly ahead of expense—in aggregate—points
to the strong management and resilience of
these groups.
Providing Jobs for Our Communities
In addition to directly employing people, cultural
organizations create a ripple of economic activity
and additional jobs through their business activities
and the economic activities of their patrons. In
2009, activities of Central Puget Sound cultural
organizations and patrons created a total of 33,920
direct and indirect jobs.
Early Exposure Critical
Fully 90 percent of current patrons of cultural
organizations said they received their first exposure
to cultural activities while in grade school. This
reinforces the importance of early exposure.
Unfortunately, school cutbacks now limit many
children’s opportunities to benefit from
these opportunities.
Impacts
In fiscal year 2009, nonprofit cultural organizations
in Central Puget Sound had income budgets of $488
million. Patrons spent $712 million on tickets, dining
out, lodging, transportation, child care services and
other expenditures. The impacts of these expenditures
reach across the economy of the entire state.

Labor Income Impacts $937 million

Total Jobs Created 33,920
Cultural Organizations Bring in
New Money
Cultural organizations attract patrons both inside
and outside their communities. Approximately one
quarter of economic impacts came from funding
sources and patrons outside of the four-county area.
These impacts are considered “new money”—funds
that come here only because of the activities of local
cultural institutions.
