CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The City of Auburn’s (the “City”) discussion and analysis is designed to:
Assist the reader in focusing on significant financial issues
Provide an overview of the City’s financial activity
Identify changes in the City’s financial position (its ability to meet future years’ challenges)
Identify any material deviations from the approved budget
Identify individual fund issues or concerns
Management’s Discussion and Analysis is designed to focus on the current year’s activities, resulting
changes and currently known facts. Therefore, it should be read in conjunction with the Transmittal
Letter and the City’s financial statements.
Financial Highlights
Total government-wide net assets, the amount by which total assets exceed total liabilities,
equal $409.7 million. A total of $326.1 million, or 80% of total net assets, is invested in
capital assets, net of debt related to the capital assets, and includes assets such as utility
systems, streets, buildings, land, vehicles and equipment. An additional $2.3 million of net
assets is restricted for purposes of endowment and debt service. Of the remaining $81.3
million of net assets, the majority is legally restricted, reserved by city policy for specific
purposes, or is restricted for use by the city’s utilities.
The net increase in government-wide net assets during 2006 was $18.2 million. Of this
amount, $11.4 million was directly related to the increase in City-owned capital assets and
infrastructure.
On a government-wide basis, government net assets increased by $10.1 million during
2006. Of this amount $7.7 million is related to the capitalization of construction projects, and
the balance of the increase is due to lower than anticipated expenditures.
Business-type net assets increased by $8.1 million during 2006. Of this amount, $1.9 million
is related to infrastructure assets donated by developers, $2.1 million is related to utility
system development charges, and the rest is related to increases in the sanitary sewer and
storm drainage funds.
Government fund balances at year-end totaled $41.5 million. Of this amount, $40.0 million,
or 96%, is unreserved and available to fund ongoing activities. However, the majority of the
unreserved fund balance relates to special revenue funds and, as such, is legally restricted
for specific purposes. Included in unreserved fund balance is $5.6 million in the cumulative
reserve fund that is intended to provide resources in the event of significant downturns in
certain city funds or provide for capital needs as designated by the City Council.
Compared to 2005, total government fund balances increased by $1.8 million. This increase
is a result of a combination of revenues that were higher than anticipated, particularly with
retail sales tax, and expenditures less than budgeted in certain departments.
The general fund’s unreserved fund balance of $14.4 million at year-end is a decrease of
$1.5 million from 2005. This decrease is the result of transferring $3.5 million to the capital
improvement projects fund, $0.9 million to the cumulative reserve fund and other fund
transfers, offset by the increase in retail sales tax and other taxes and fees.
Total City debt payments during the year, net of compensated absences, totaled $2.1
million. Total outstanding debt, including bonds and loans, totaled $30.4 million at
15
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
st
December 31. This ending debt balance is an increase of $3.9 million and is the result of
debt issuance for the Auburn Golf Course and Mountain View Cemetery proprietary funds
and new Public Works Trust Fund loans, offset by debt service payments made during 2006.
See note 10 for further information on debt activity during the year.
Other City Highlights:

with two neighboring jurisdictions. This moved the City fire department to a new taxing
authority which operates similar to a fire district.

Overview of the Financial Statements
The City’s basic financial statements are presented in three parts:
1) Government-wide financial statements
2) Fund financial statements
3) Notes to the financial statements
Other supplementary information, in addition to the basic financial statements, is also contained in
this report. This section of the management’s discussion and analysis is intended to introduce and
explain the basic financial statements.
16
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to be corporate-like in that all governmental
and business-type activities are consolidated into columns which add to a total for the City. The
focus of the Statement of Net Assets is designed to be similar to bottom-line results for the City and
its governmental and business-type activities. This statement combines and consolidates
governmental funds’ current financial resources (short-term spendable resources) with capital assets
and long-term obligations. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may be one indicator of
improvement or deterioration in the City’s overall financial health.
TheStatement of Activities is focused on both the gross and net cost of various functions, including
both governmental and business-type activities, which are supported by the City’s general tax and
other revenues. This is intended to summarize and simplify the user’s analysis of cost of various
governmental services and/or subsidy to various business-type activities. The revenue generated by
the specific functions (charges for services, grants, and contributions) is compared to the expenses
for those functions to show how much each function either supports itself or relies on taxes and other
general funding sources for support. All activity on this statement is reported on the accrual basis of
accounting, requiring that revenues are reported when they are earned and expenses are reported
when they are incurred, regardless of when cash is received or disbursed.
Governmental activities of the City include general government (executive, finance, legal, human
resources, court), security (police, fire), physical environment, economic environment, transportation,
health and human services, and culture and recreation. The City’s business-type activities include
water, sanitary sewer, storm water and solid waste utilities, as well as operating a golf course,
airport, cemetery and commercial retail space. Governmental activities are primarily supported by
taxes, charges for services, and grants while business-type activities are self-supporting through
user fees and charges.
Fund Financial Statements
The Fund Financial Statements are the traditional reporting format for governments. A fund is a
fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts used to account for specific
activities or meet certain objectives. While the government-wide statements present the City’s
finances based on the type of activity (general government vs. business type), the Fund Financial
Statements are presented by fund type, such as the general fund, special revenue funds and
proprietary funds, with the focus on major funds.
Government Funds are used to account for essentially the same functions that are reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. The government major fund
presentation is used, utilizing the “sources and uses of liquid resources” basis. This is the manner in
which the budget is typically developed. The basis of accounting is different between the
government fund statements and the government-wide financial statements. The government fund
statements focus on the near-term revenues/financial resources and expenditures while the
government-wide financial statements include both near-term and long-term revenues/financial
resources and expenditures. The information in the governmental fund statements can be used to
evaluate the City’s near-term financing requirements and immediate fiscal health. Comparing the
governmental fund statements with the government-wide statements can help the reader better
understand the long-term impact of the City’s current-year financing decisions.
Because the basis of accounting is different between the government fund statements and the
government-wide financial statements, reconciliations are provided. The reconciliation between the
government fund Balance Sheets and the government-wide Statement of Net Assets is found on the
bottom of the government funds’ Balance Sheet, while the reconciliation between the government
fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance and the government-wide
17
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Statement of Activities is found directly following the government funds’ Statement of Revenues,
Expenses, and Changes in Fund Balance.
The City maintains 19 individual governmental funds. Of these, three are considered major (the
general fund, the arterial street fund, and the capital improvement projects fund) and are presented
separately in the governmental fund Balance Sheet and the governmental fund Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances. The remaining governmental funds are
combined into a single column labeled “Other Governmental Funds”. Individual fund data for each of
the other governmental funds can be found in the combining statements later in this report.
The City maintains budgetary control over its operating funds through the adoption of an annual
budget. Budgets are adopted at the fund level according to state law. Budgetary comparison
statements are presented for the general and arterial street funds as required supplemental
information. Other budgetary comparison schedules are included following the other government
funds’ combining statements in this report.
Proprietary funds are used by governments to account for their business-type activities and use the
same basis of accounting as utilized in private industry. Business-type activities provide specific
goods or services to a group of customers that are paid for by fees charged to those customers.
There is a direct relationship between the fees paid and the services rendered.
The City has two types of proprietary funds: enterprise funds and internal service funds. Enterprise
funds are used to account for goods and services provided to citizens, while internal service funds
are used to account for goods and services provided internally to various city departments.
Enterprise funds report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-
wide statements, but in greater detail. The City’s enterprise fund statements provide information on
the City’s four utilities (water, sanitary sewer, storm water, and solid waste) as well as the city-owned
airport, cemetery, and golf course and the city-leased retail space.
Internal service funds are an essential accounting tool used to accumulate and allocate costs
internally among the City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its
fleet of vehicles, the city-wide provision of computer hardware and software services, and its
insurance premiums. Internal service funds benefit both governmental and business-type activities,
and are allocated accordingly in the government-wide statement of activities.
Fiduciary funds account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for
individuals, private organizations, other governments or other funds. Fiduciary funds are not
included in the government-wide financial statements because their assets are not available to
support the City’s activities.
The City has two fiduciary funds: a pension fund and an agency fund, and are accounted for on the
accrual basis. As agency funds are custodial in nature, they do not include revenues and expenses.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided
in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be
found at the end of the Basic Financial Statements section.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents
certain required supplementary information concerning the budget vs. actual reports of the City’s
general fund and major special revenue funds, and the City’s progress in funding its obligation to
18

provide pension benefits to certain retired firefighters. The budget vs. actual required supplementary
information can be found in the tab labeled “Required Supplemental Information” and the pension
benefit required supplementary information is found in note 9.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor government funds,
nonmajor enterprise funds, and internal service funds are presented in the section titled “Fund
Financial Statements and Schedules”.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
The statement of net assets can serve as a useful indicator of the City’s financial position. The City
of Auburn’s net assets (assets in excess of liabilities) at December 31, 2006 totaled $391.5 million.
Following is a condensed version of the government-wide statement of net assets with a comparison
to 2005:

The largest component of the City’s net assets, $326.1 million, or 80%, is its investment in capital
assets, less debt related to the acquisition or construction of those assets. These capital assets,
such as streets, parks, trails, and vehicles and equipment related to police, fire and public works, are
used to provide services to the citizens. As a result, these assets are not for sale, and are therefore
not available to fund current and future City obligations. The City elected the GASB 34 reporting
option to include all general infrastructure of the City acquired or substantially renovated since 1980.
The largest component of unrestricted net assets, $25.7 million, represents the unrestricted net
assets of the City’s business-type activities and may only be spent on activities related to one of the
four City utilities (water, sanitary sewer, storm water and solid waste) or to the City-owned ventures
(airport, golf course, cemetery, and commercial retail property). Examples of utility activities include
maintenance of water/sewer mains, pump and lift stations, storm drain flushing, water meter reading,
and garbage collection. Activities related to the other city-owned ventures include maintenance of
hangars and runways at the airport, grooming and landscaping at the golf course and cemetery, and
developing tenant space at the Sound Transit parking garage.
$26.8 million of net assets are restricted to purposes such as capital project construction, debt
service, mitigation, and endowment.
The remaining net assets of the City may be used for functions such as public safety employee
salaries and supplies, park and road maintenance, and other general government services.

Governmental activities contributed $10.1 million to the total increase in city net assets. Revenues to
fund capital assets are recorded as program or general revenues in the statement of activities.
However, asset purchases are not recorded as expenses in the year purchased and construction
costs are not recorded as expenses in the year incurred. Instead, the costs are recorded as long-
term assets and are depreciated over their useful life. This amount equaled $11.3 million, which was
offset by an overall increase in the cost and variety of governmental services provided.
20
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
General tax revenue rose during 2006:
Property tax revenue rose by $1,722,066, or 12.6%. This increase is higher than the
statutory maximum of 1%, and is due to the Save Our Streets lid lift passed by the voters in
2004, as well as taxes collected on construction completed during 2006.
Sales tax collections had a healthy increase of $1,451,205, or 8.9%.
Utility and admission tax revenue rose $379,718 or 7.1%.
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) revenue decreased by $64,488, or 1.4%.
Investment revenue rose by $989,592, or 67.5%. This was due to rising interest rates.
Governmental activity expenses rose $3.3 million, or 6.4%. Increases in public safety and general
government expenditures of $2.9 million were offset by decreased expenditures in economic
environment and transportation.
The next chart summarizes the government activity revenue by source, while the second one reflects
the specific programs’ revenues and related expenses for the various activities of the city. Gaps
between specific programs’ revenues and their related expenditures are funded through general tax
revenues.

CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Financial Analysis of Governmental Funds
The purpose of the City’s government funds is to report on near-term revenues/financial resources
and expenditures. This information helps determine the City’s financial requirements in the near
future. Specifically, fund balance is a good indicator of the City’s financial resources.
As of December 31, 2006, the City’s governmental funds had combined fund balances of
$41,479,504, an increase of $1,853,944 or 4.7%. This increase is related to:
General fund ($1,490,497)
Arterial street fund $31,984
Capital improvement projects fund $1,297,897
Other governmental funds $2,014,560
Of the government funds’ total fund balances, $40,092,581 is unreserved. Of this unreserved total,
$14,727,423 is earmarked for capital projects and $10,738,431 is in special revenue funds and is
earmarked for specific purposes. Of the $1,386,923 of fund balances that are reserved, $1,232,349
is reserved for endowment.
The general fund is the primary operating fund of the City. All receipts and payments of ordinary city
operations are processed through it unless they are required to be accounted for in another fund. At
the end of 2006, the general fund had a fund balance of $14,448,328, of which substantially all is
unreserved.
Other funds that had significant fund balances include:
$13,512,799 in the capital improvement projects fund; used for various governmental capital
asset projects.
$5,642,187 in the cumulative reserve fund; used for revenue stabilization or capital projects.
$3,341,912 in the mitigation fund; used to collect fees from new development to mitigate the
cost of new roads and fire service.
$1,420,873 in the cemetery endowed care fund; used for maintenance of the cemetery.
The following chart shows the relative fund balances for governmental funds:

The decrease in the general fund balance of $1,490,497 can be attributed to result of transferring
$3,500,000 to the capital improvement projects fund, $900,000 to the cumulative reserve fund and
other fund transfers, offset by the increase in retail sales tax and other taxes and fees. The major
increase in general fund operating expenditures was due to salary and benefit costs that increased
$1,822,654 or 6.3%. The revenue increase of $4.3 million came from the following sources:
27
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The increase of $31,984 in the arterial street fund is due to transfers in from the capital improvement
projects fund and mitigation fees fund, offset by the expenditure of funds that were received by the
City prior to 2006. The arterial street fund also received $142,313 of Public Works Trust Fund loan
proceeds in 2006.
The increase of $1,297,897 in the capital improvement projects fund is due to the receipt of funds for
projects that will not begin until 2007, as well as an increase in investment income for 2006.
Other significant changes in fund balances include:
The cumulative reserve fund increased by $1,134,304 due to a transfer in from the general
fund of $900,000 and investment income of $234,304.
The mitigation fees fund rose by $513,617 due to increased development activity.
The municipal park construction fund increased by $318,253 due to a $240,000 transfer from
the capital improvement projects fund, as well as intergovernmental revenue received during
the year.
Financial Analysis of Proprietary Funds
The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information as found in the government-wide
financial statements, but in greater detail. Factors affecting the finances of the City’s proprietary
funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the City’s business-type activities.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The City budgets annually by adopting a budget at the end of the preceding fiscal year, and then
making adjustments as necessary via budget amendments throughout the year. Following is a
summary of such budget amendments:
Budgeted general fund balances increased for the following reasons:

$ 5,610,200
Reasons for the significant variances in the general fund between the final budget and actual results
include:
Sales tax revenue was much stronger than anticipated, resulting in a positive variance to
budget of $1.6 million.
Admission and utility tax collections were more than $768,000 higher than budgeted due to
the rising cost of utility charges and greater than anticipated admission tax receipts.
Charges for services were $474,000 higher than budgeted mainly due to plan check fee and
recreational class revenue. This variance is also due to the strong building market.
Interest revenue was $203,000 greater than budgeted due to the environment of rising
interest rates.
Salary and benefit expenses were $1.4 million less than budgeted due to positions that were
left unfilled for significant periods of time and budgeted retirement contributions that were not
required.
Professional services expenditures were $1.5 million less than budgeted.
Machinery and equipment expenditures were $518,000 less than budgeted.

Long-term Debt
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had total bonded debt outstanding of $17,151,827. Of
this amount, $11,210,000 is general obligation bonds, $5,905,000 is revenue bonds for the water
and storm utilities, and $36,827 is special assessment debt with government commitment. The City
currently maintains a rating of A1 with Moody’s for its general obligation debt.
30
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
On August 22, 2006, the City issued $3,275,000 of Limited General Obligation Bonds with a
premium of $108,030 and an interest rate of 4.25% to 5.00%. The bonds were issued to fund
improvements at the Auburn Golf Course including a pro shop, clubhouse and related facilities, as
well as construction of a columbarium at the Mountain View Cemetery. The net proceeds of
$3,359,175 (after payment of $44,336 in underwriting fees, insurance, and other issuance costs),
were held for disbursement on construction related expenditures. Any excess funds were invested in
the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP). Although the debt is a general obligation of the City,
the expectation is that the golf course and cemetery will fund debt service from operations. For this
reason, the debt is reflected in the Proprietary Funds Statement of Net Assets.
Also on August 22, 2006, the City issued $1,885,000 of taxable Limited General Obligation Bonds
with an interest rate of 5.40% to 5.52%. The bonds were issued to construct and equip restaurant,
banquet and related facilities for a restaurant facility to be located at the golf course clubhouse. The
net proceeds of $1,859,817 (after payment of $25,183 in underwriting fees, insurance, and other
issuance costs), were held for disbursement on construction related expenditures. Any excess funds
were invested in the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP).
The following schedule summarizes the City’s bonded debt:

Washington State law limits the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue
to 7.5% of its total assessed value. Of the 7.5% limit, 2.5% is for general purposes, 2.5% is for open
spaces/parks, and 2.5% is for utilities. Non-voted (limited tax) general obligation indebtedness is
limited to 1.5% of assessed valuation. The combination of unlimited tax and limited tax general
obligation debt for all purposes cannot exceed 7.5% of assessed valuation. Following is a summary

Economic Factors
The outlook for 2007 and beyond is positive. The economy in the county and the City has been
robust. Many existing businesses are planning to expand their facilities & employ more people.
Some of the most recent and significant projects are:
Auburn Regional Medical Center is planning an 11,000-square foot cancer treatment center
adjacent to the hospital, along with a public/private mix 300-stall parking garage.
Downtown redevelopment is planned on several blocks (4+) near the Transit Station.
Additionally, a bid to develop a full block for a Transit Orientated Development (residential &
parking) will be issued in 2007.
Plans are moving forward to develop a large retail/office project in the city’s north end that
had been a drive-in movie complex. Up to 65 acres may be involved. Significant new retail
sales tax revenues would be generated from this project.
A new Super Wal-Mart is under construction at the Super Mall that will also provide the City
with new jobs and new tax revenues.
The City issued 465 residential permits in 2006 for new construction, remodels, and rehabs.

MAJOR GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
General Fund
The general fund accounts for all of the City's financial resources except those
required by statute or generally accepted accounting principles to be accounted
for in another fund. As is the case with most municipalities, the general fund is
the largest and most important accounting entity of the City. As noted in the
statements that follow, the general fund receives the bulk of its revenues from
local taxes, followed by State shared revenues, service charges, and other
income.
The general fund is accounted for on a modified accrual basis. Annual budgets
are adopted with appropriations lapsing at year-end.
Arterial Street Fund
This fund is supported by the State's one-half cent gas tax and is used for major
street construction.
Capital Improvement Projects Fund
This fund accounts for major capital acquisitions, and streets and parks
construction projects.

CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON
RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN
FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENT FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
Net change in fund balances per the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance1,853,944$
Amount reported as change in net assets in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement
of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlay ($11,335,910)
exceeded depreciation ($6,969,422) in the current period.4,366,488
Debt proceeds are reported as financing sources in governmental fund and thus contribute to the
change in fund balances. In the government-wide statements, however, issuing debt increases
long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets and does not affect the statement of activities.(142,313)
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial resources
are not reported as revenues in the funds:
Deferred revenue603,483
Amortization of bond premium3,138
Investment interest receivable(36,092)
570,529
Developer contributions and annexation of infrastructure assets are reported as revenue in the statement
of activities, but do not provide current financial resources and are not reported as fund revenue.1,922,416
Repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of
governmental funds but has no effect on the net assets.423,527
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities,
such as insurance and fleet maintenance, to individual funds. The net revenue (expense)
of certain internal service funds is reported with governmental activities.1,542,871
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current
financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
Amortization of debt issue costs(3,240)
Amortization of prepaid expenses(109,355)
Change in accrued interest payable7,169
Change in net pension obligation(270,299)
Change in compensated absences payable(19,052)

requirements associated with the water system.
The Sanitary Sewer Fund
This fund accounts for maintenance, construction, and debt requirements for
Auburn's sanitary sewer system.

CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Auburn, King County, Washington, was incorporated in 1891. It operates under the laws
of the State of Washington applicable to a Non-Charter Code City under a Mayor/Council form of
government. A full-time mayor and seven part-time council members administer Auburn, all elected
at-large to four-year terms. The City provides a range of municipal services authorized by state law,
including water services, sanitary sewer collection, solid waste collection, storm drainage, a general
aviation airport, a municipal cemetery and a municipal golf course.
The accounting and reporting policies of the City of Auburn, which conform to Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) for governments, are regulated by the Washington State Auditor’s
Office. The City’s significant accounting policies are described in the following notes.
A. REPORTING ENTITY
The City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) includes all funds controlled by
the City.
Based on the criteria of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No.
14 as modified by GASB Statement No. 34, the Valley Communications Center is included
in the accompanying government-wide statement of net assets as a joint venture. (Please
refer to Notes 7 and 13).
The government-wide financial statements consist of the government-wide statement of net
assets and the government-wide statement of activities.
B. BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City’s basic financial statements consist of government-wide financial statements and
fund financial statements. The government-wide financial statements, which include the
statement of net assets and the statement of activities, summarize the entire operation of
the City. The fund financial statements, which include balance sheets, statements of
revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances, budget and actual statements, and
statements of cash flows, provide a more detailed level of reporting.
The government-wide financial statements report information on all of the non-fiduciary
activities of the City. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated
from these statements. Because governmental activities are normally supported by taxes
and intergovernmental revenue, while business-type activities are generally supported
through user fees and charges, governmental activities are reported separately from
business-type activities on all government-wide financial statements.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of various
functions and activities of the City are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are
those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or activity. Program revenues
include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from
goods, services or privileges provided by a function or activity, and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or activity. Taxes and other items that are not properly included among
function or activity revenues are instead reported as general revenues. The City does not
allocate indirect expenses to functions in the statement of activities.
Separate financial statements are included for government funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds, even though fiduciary funds are excluded from the government-wide
52
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise
funds are reported in separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a
separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing
accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenue, and expenditures or
expenses, as appropriate. The City resources are allocated to, and accounted for, in
individual funds according to the purpose for which they are spent and how they are
controlled.
Thebasis of accounting refers to the timing of when revenues and expenditures or
expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements.
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary and pension
trust fund financial statements. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using
the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of
accounting.
Themodified accrual basis of accounting is followed in all governmental and permanent
funds of the City. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized
when measurable and available. Revenues are generally considered available if they are
collected within the current period or soon enough thereafter (30 days) to pay current
liabilities. For derived tax revenues, such as sales tax and utility business and occupation
taxes, revenues are recognized in the period when the underlying exchange has occurred.
For imposed non-exchange taxes, such as property taxes, revenues are recognized when
the use of resources is permitted, or when resources are available. Grant revenue is
recognized in the period in which the expenditure occurs and the eligibility requirements
have been met. Non-exchange transactions, such as contributions, are recognized when
the donation eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Those specific major revenue
sources accrued are:
Property Taxes – King County and Pierce County collect property taxes and remit to the City
daily or monthly. December collections by each County, remitted in January, are
recognized as revenues in current year even though received in the subsequent year since
they are considered to be measurable and available. Property taxes remaining uncollected
at year-end are reported as “deferred revenue”, since they are not considered to be
available.
Sales Tax Revenues – The State of Washington collects all sales taxes. Auburn’s portion is
remitted to the City by the State monthly. The sales tax received in January is recognized
as revenue in current year even though received in the subsequent year because of when
the underlying transaction occurred and the resources are considered to be measurable and
available.
Grant Revenues – On cost reimbursement, grant revenue is recognized when the
expenditure is incurred.
Under the modified accrual basis, expenditures are recorded when the fund liability is
incurred, except for the un-matured interest and principal on general long-term debt, which
is recognized when due, and for compensated absences which are recorded as
expenditures when liquidated from expendable available fund resources. Purchases of
capital assets from governmental funds are reported as expenditures during the year
incurred and the asset is capitalized and reported on the government-wide statement of net
53
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
assets. Long-term liabilities, including compensated absence pay not currently due and
payable, are also reported on the government-wide statement of net assets.
Theaccrual basis of accounting is followed in all proprietary, agency, and pension trust
funds. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and
expenses are recorded when incurred.
The three broad fund categories and nine generic fund types presented in this report are
described below:
1. GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES
All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or “financial flow” measurement
focus. This means that only current assets and current liabilities generally are included
on their balance sheets. Their reported fund balance (net current assets) is considered
a measure of “available spendable resources”. Governmental fund operating
statements focus on measuring cash flows rather than net income; they present
increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and
other financing uses) in net current assets.
a. General fund – This fund is used to account for all financial resources and
transactions of the City not accounted for in another fund, as required. The
general fund is always considered a major fund.
b. Special Revenue funds – These funds are used to account for the proceeds of
specific revenue sources (other than major capital projects) that are legally
restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. One special revenue fund is
considered major: the arterial street fund. This fund is supported by the State of
Washington’s one-half cent gas tax and is used for major street construction.
c. Debt Service funds – These funds account for the accumulation of resources for,
and the payment of, general long-term and special assessment debt principal,
interest, and related costs. These funds also include the LID guarantee fund
which provides financial security for outstanding LID bonds.
d. Capital Projects funds – These funds are used to account for financial resources
to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities other than
those financed by proprietary funds. One capital project fund is considered
major: the capital improvement projects fund. This fund accounts for major
capital acquisitions, and street and parks construction projects.
e. Permanent funds – These funds are used to account for resources that are
legally restricted to the extent that only earnings, and not principal, may be used
for purposes of supporting a specific City program.
2. PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES
Proprietary funds are accounted for on the “flow of economic resources” measurement
focus. This means that all assets and all liabilities (whether current or non-current)
associated with their activity are included on their balance sheets. Their reported fund
equity is segregated into contributed capital and net asset components. Proprietary fund
operating statements present increases (revenues and gains) and decreases (expenses
and losses) in net total fund equities. The proprietary fund measurement focus is upon
determination of financial position, net income, and cash flow.
54
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating
items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and
producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing
operations. The principal operating revenue of the City’s utility funds, other enterprise
funds, and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services,
vehicle and computer replacement, and insurance. Operating expenses for enterprise
funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative
expenses, taxes, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not
meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses, or as
capital contributions.
Pursuant to Statement No. 20 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB),Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other
Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, the City has chosen to
apply all applicable GASB pronouncements as well as the following pronouncements
issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those pronouncements conflict with or
contradict GASB pronouncements: FASB Statements and Interpretations, APB Opinion,
and ARBs.
a.Enterprise funds – These funds are used to account for services to the general
public where all or most of the costs, including depreciation, are to be financed
or recovered from users of such services.
b.Internal Service funds – These funds are used to account for the financing of
goods and services provided to other funds, departments, or governments on a
cost reimbursement basis.
3. FIDUCIARY FUND TYPES
Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or
as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governments, and/or other
funds. These include a pension trust and an agency fund. Each fiduciary fund is
classified for accounting measurement purposes either as a governmental fund or a
proprietary fund.
Pension trust funds are accounted for on the accrual basis in essentially the same
manner as proprietary funds since capital management is critical. The City’s Fire Relief
and Pension fund is included in this group, although based on actuarial
recommendations, there are no employee or employer contributions to the Fire Relief
and Pension Plan. Pension benefits are recognized when due; plan administration costs
are also recognized when incurred in this fund.
Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve
measurement of results of operations.
D. BUDGET AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
The City of Auburn budgets in accordance with the Revised Code of Washington (RCW)
35A.33 for the general and special revenue funds. For governmental funds, there are no
substantial differences between the budgetary basis and generally accepted accounting
principles. Budgetary accounts are integrated in fund ledgers for all budgeted funds, but the
financial statements include budgetary comparisons for annually budgeted governmental
funds only. Budgets established for proprietary and trust funds are “management budgets”,
and are not legally required to be reported and, as such, are not reported in the CAFR.
55
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The annual budget is proposed by the Mayor and adopted by the City Council with legal
budgetary control at the fund level; i.e., expenditures and other financing sources may not
exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level. The Mayor may authorize transfers
within funds; however, the City Council must approve by ordinance any amendments that
increase the total for the fund. Any unexpended appropriation balances lapse at the end of
the fiscal year.
The City prepares annual budgets on the modified accrual basis, which conforms to
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The CAFR includes budgetary
comparisons for those governmental funds with legally adopted budgets. Budget amounts
include the adopted annual current year budget appropriations and any revisions made
during the year.
State law establishes the budget process and the time limits under which a budget must be
developed. The City follows the procedures outlined below to establish its annual budget:
1. Sixty days prior to the ensuing fiscal year, the Mayor submits to the City Council a
preliminary budget for the fiscal year commencing the following January 1. The
operating budget includes proposed expenditures and funding sources.
2. Public hearings are conducted at the Auburn City Council Meetings to obtain
taxpayer comments.
3. Prior to December 31, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an
ordinance.
4. The final operating budget as adopted is published and distributed after adoption.
Copies of the budget are made available to the public.
Amounts shown in the accompanying financial statements represent the original budgeted
amounts and all supplemental appropriations.

CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
E. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND FUND EQUITY
1. DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
It is the City’s policy to invest all temporary cash surplus. At December 31, 2006, the
Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) was holding $60,966,110 in short-term
investments. This amount is classified on the balance sheet as cash and cash
equivalents. The interest on these investments is prorated to the various funds based
upon ownership of investments. For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash
and cash equivalents includes cash on deposit with financial institutions in both demand
and time deposit accounts, and amounts invested in the Local Government Investment
Pool, administered by the State Treasurer’s Office.
The City, by state law, is authorized to purchase certificates of deposit issued by
Washington State depositories that participate in the state investment pool, U.S.
Treasury and Agency securities, banker’s acceptances, and repurchase agreements.
The City purchases repurchase agreements only from institutions that use authorized
securities for collateral. The City of Auburn also has signed a “master repurchase
agreement” with its primary bank (Key Bank).
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all proprietary fund types and similar trust
funds consider all highly liquid investments (including restricted assets) with maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Investments are recorded at fair value. Adjustments are made to cost for investments
amortized over the period to maturity in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31.
2. RECEIVABLES
Taxes receivable consist of property taxes (see Note 4). Accrued interest receivable
consists of amounts earned on notes and contracts at the end of the year.
Customer accounts receivable consist of amounts owed by private individuals or
organizations for goods and services provided. Uncollectible amounts are considered
immaterial and the direct write-off method is used.
Special assessments are levied against certain property owners and become liens
against the property benefited by the improvement. Special assessments receivable
consist of current assessments, which are due within one year, delinquent assessments
remaining unpaid after the due date, and deferred, uncollected assessments, which
have been levied, but are not due within one year.
Other receivables include utility taxes due from private organizations and customer
accounts receivable, which consist of amounts owed from private individuals or
organizations for goods and services, including amounts owed for which billings have
not been prepared. Notes and contracts receivable consist of amounts owed on open
accounts from private individuals or organizations for goods and services rendered.
3. INTERFUND RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES
These accounts include all interfund receivables and payables. A separate schedule of
interfund activity is furnished in Note 5.
57
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
4. AMOUNTS DUE FROM OTHER GOVERNMENTAL UNITS
This account includes amounts due from other governments for grants, entitlements and
charges for services.
5. INVENTORIES
Inventories in the enterprise and internal service funds are valued at cost using the
weighted average costing method. Governmental fund types recognize the cost of
inventory items as expenditures when purchased. In governmental funds, materials and
supplies remaining at year-end are immaterial and not included in inventory.
6. RESTRICTED ASSETS
There are three types of restricted assets: customer deposits, proceeds of revenue
bonds issued by City utilities that are restricted by applicable bond ordinances to pay
bond and construction costs, and funds contributed by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe
that have been restricted for use in certain construction projects.
7. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
During the course of normal operations, the City has numerous transactions between
City funds. Interfund services provided and used, such as buying goods and services,
are recorded as revenues and expenditures. Internal service fund billings are recorded
as revenues in the equipment rental fund and as expenditures in the paying fund.
Transfers between funds are included as “other financing sources or uses”.
8. CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets are recorded at historical cost when known, or at estimated historical
cost when actual costs are not known. Infrastructure, such as roads, bridges and water
mains, is reported in the applicable government or business-type activities columns in
the government-wide statement of net assets. All infrastructure costs have been
calculated and are reported. Government-donated capital assets are stated at their
market value on the date donated.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are
constructed. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value
of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 62, the City capitalized net construction period
interest during 2006 for enterprise funds with projects funded by tax-exempt bonds.
Because construction period interest revenue exceeded interest expense, the net effect
of capitalization was to reduce overall project costs. Net construction period interest
revenue was $2,693 for the columbarium construction project at the Mountain View
Cemetery, and $14,821 for the clubhouse construction project at the Auburn Golf
Course.
Capital assets of enterprise and internal service funds are recorded at cost. The capital
assets of the airport are carried at cost and include those acquired with capital
contributed by the Federal Government. Capital improvements financed by special
assessments that provide capital assets to a government’s proprietary funds are
capitalized on the fund’s balance sheet and are offset by equity.
58
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Capital assets of all funds are depreciated, and are calculated on the straight-line
method utilizing estimated lives as follows:
Capitalization Depreciation Estimated
Asset Threshold MethodUseful Life
Building $5,000 Straight-line 10 - 50 years
Improvement $5,000 Straight-line 10 - 50 years
Equipment $5,000 Straight-line 3 - 20 years
Infrastructure $5,000 Straight-line 25 - 50 years
At the inception of capital leases at the government fund reporting level, expenditures
and an “other financing source” of an equal amount are reported as the net present
value of future minimum lease payments.
9. DEFERRED CREDITS/CHARGES
Deferred charges and credits include the premium, discount and issuance costs of
revenue bonds that are amortized over the life of the bond issue. Deferred credits and
charges also include undistributed court receipts.
10. COMPENSATED ABSENCES
City employees accrue vacation leave at a variable rate based on years of service. In
general, employees are allowed to accumulate vacation leave up to what would be
earned in two years.
Unaffiliated employees accrue sick leave at the rate of one day per month up to 960
hours. Sick leave accumulations over 960 hours at year-end are paid at 25%. Sick
leave is not paid upon termination except in some instances upon separation in good
standing, where employees hired before 12/31/1984 can be reimbursed at their current
rate for unused sick leave up to a maximum of 960 hours, at a rate based on years of
service. The City’s union contracts have varied sick leave accruals and payout options.
In general, non-exempt employees can accrue up to 80 hours of compensatory time.
The City reports compensated absences as liabilities in the government-wide statement
of net assets and in proprietary funds. Vacation, compensatory time, and sick leave are
calculated separately for each employee using the rules described above.
Governmental funds recognize expenditures for vacation, sick, and compensatory time
when paid. Proprietary and pension trust funds recognize the expense and accrue a
liability for vacation and sick leave pay as the leave is earned.
All compensated absence liabilities include salary-related payments, where applicable.
11. DEFERRED REVENUES
This account reflects the amounts of taxes and other long-term receivables for which the
revenue recognition criteria have not been met. It also reflects prepayments on
accounts and grants received in advance.
12. RESERVATIONS AND DESIGNATIONS OF FUND EQUITY
In governmental funds, reserves are used to indicate a portion of fund balance that is not
appropriable for expenditure or is legally segregated, and designations are used to
59
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
indicate tentative managerial plans for financial resource utilization in a future period. In
proprietary funds, net assets are generally reserved in connection with restricted assets
or for legal segregation. These reserves are identified on the balance sheet of each
fund type.
F. REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND EXPENSES
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting:
Charges for services, interest on investments, and rents generally are considered
measurable and available when earned in governmental funds.
Taxes and federal or state entitlements or shared revenues that have been collected but
not remitted by an intermediary collection agency to the City are considered measurable
and available.
Special assessments are considered measurable and available when they become due.
Grants are considered measurable and available to the extent that expenditures have
been made. Other intergovernmental revenues are considered measurable and
available when earned.
Interfund revenues for goods and services are considered measurable and available
when earned.
Proceeds from sale or loss of capital assets are recognized as other financing sources.
Revenues from taxpayer-assessed taxes (i.e., sales tax), net of estimated refunds, are
recognized when measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current
period.
All other revenues are either not measurable or considered not available until collected.
Expenditures are generally recognized when incurred, except for principal and interest
on general long-term debt, which are reported as expenditures when paid, and
compensated absences, which are reported as expenditures when liquidated from
expendable available financial resources.
Under the accrual basis of accounting:
Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.
Contributions of capital in proprietary fund financial statements arise from internal and
external contributions of capital assets or from grants or outside contributions of
resources restricted to capital acquisition and construction.
Transfers between government and business-type activities on the government-wide
statement of activities are reported as general revenues. Transfers between funds reported
in the governmental activities column are eliminated, as are transfers between funds
reported in the business-type activities column.
60
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
G. ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. During 2005, a change was made in
the method for estimating unbilled revenue receivable in the utility funds as of the end of the
year.
H. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued Statement No. 34
Basic Financial Statements – and Management’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and
Local Governments, Statement No. 37 Basic Financial Statements – and Management’s
Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments: Omnibus – an amendment of
GASB Statements No. 21 and No. 34, and Statement No. 38 Certain Financial Statement
Note Disclosures. These new accounting and reporting standards impacted the City’s
revenue and expenditure recognition and assets, liabilities, and fund equity reporting. The
new standards also required reformatting of the financial statements and restating beginning
balances. These new GASB standards were implemented in 2003 except for the full
reporting of infrastructure assets, which was implemented in 2004.
NOTE 2 – STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
There have been no material violations of finance-related legal or contractual provisions, and there
have been no expenditures exceeding legal appropriations in any of the funds of the City of Auburn.
NOTE 3 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
At December 31, 2006, the carrying amount of the City’s cash demand deposits with Key Bank
totaled $5,218,251 while the bank balance was $5,476,685. In addition, there was $10,000 in the
Drug Forfeiture Fund to be used for enforcement purposes, and $5,525 in various petty cash and
cashier change funds.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures the City’s deposits up to $100,000 and
the Washington Public Deposit Protection Commission (WPDPC) insures amounts over $100,000.
The WPDPC is a multiple financial institution collateral arrangement, which provides for additional
assessments against members of the pool on a pro rata basis.
As required by State law, all investments of the City’s funds are obligations of the U.S. Government,
or deposits with Washington State banks. Pension and Non-expendable Trust funds are not subject
to these limitations. All temporary investments are stated at cost. Other investments are shown on
the balance sheet at fair value. Investments that were not at par value (cost) as of December 31,
2006 are reported at fair value. The City holds some deep discount federal securities that are
reported this way. The fair value of the position in the state investment pool is the same as the value
of shares held by the City in the pool.
During 2006, the net decrease in the fair value of investments being held for more than one year is
$122,880 at year-end.
During 2004, the City early-implemented the requirements of GASB Statement No. 40: Deposit and
Investment Risk Disclosures. These new disclosures were not mandated until 2005.
61
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY TAXES
For 2006, the City’s regular tax levy was $2.53 per $1,000 on a total 2005 assessed valuation of
$5,765,027,710 for a total regular levy of $14,611,910. State law provides that debt cannot be
incurred in excess of the following percentages of the taxable property of the City.
1.50% without a vote of the people
2.50% with a vote of the people
The City has additional authority to incur the following debt as a percentage of total valuation.

The County Treasurer acts as an agent to collect property taxes levied in the county for all taxing
authorities. Taxes are levied annually on January 1 on property values listed as of the prior August
31.
The County assesses property at 100% of fair value. A revaluation of all property is required at least
once every four years and a physical inspection is required at least once every six years.
Property taxes levied by the County Assessor and collected by the County Treasurer become a lien
on the first day of the levy year and may be paid in two installments if the total amount exceeds $10.
The first half of real property taxes is due on April 30 and the balance is due October 31. Delinquent
taxes bear interest at the rate of 12% and are subject to additional penalties if not paid as scheduled.
At year-end, property taxes are recorded as a receivable with the portion not expected to be
collected within 30 days offset by deferred revenue. In the statement of activities, this deferred
revenue is referred to as “Unearned Revenue”. During the year, property tax revenues are
recognized when cash is received.
1. The Washington State Constitution limits the total regular property taxes to 1% of assessed
valuation or $10 per $1,000 of value. If the taxes of all districts exceed this amount, each is
proportionately reduced until the total is at or below the 1% limit.
2. Washington State law in RCW 84.55.010 limits the annual growth of regular property taxes
to the lesser of 1% or the rate of inflation. With a vote of the majority of the voters within a
taxing district, the 1% levy limitation can be “lifted” and additional taxes may be levied.
3. The City may voluntarily levy taxes below the legal limit.
Special levies approved by the voters are not subject to the above limitations.
64
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Property taxes are recorded as receivable and offset by a deferred revenue account when levied.
Since state law allows for the sale of property for failure to pay taxes, no estimate of uncollectible
taxes is made.
NOTE 5 – INTERFUND ACTIVITY
The next two tables summarize interfund activity during the past year. The first table details

NOTE 8 – RECORDED VACATION, SICK LEAVE, AND POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 16, the City accrues vacation and sick leave pay. The
accrual is shown on the government-wide statement of net assets for both governmental and
proprietary funds. The accrual is also seen in the separate proprietary fund balance sheets, but
is excluded from the separate governmental fund balance sheets since it is not currently due and
payable at year-end (please refer to Note 10).
In addition to pension benefits described in Note 9, the City provides post-retirement benefits, in
accordance with state statutes, to all LEOFF 1 retirees. Currently, 65 retirees meet the eligibility
requirements. The City provides long-term care, medical insurance, and reimburses all validated
claims for medical, dental and hospitalization costs incurred by retirees. Expenditures for post-
retirement health care benefits are recognized as retirees report claims. During the year,
expenditures of $921,643 were recognized for post-retirement health care. This represents an
increase of $98,450 from the previous year.
NOTE 9 – PENSION PLANS

Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) Plans 1, 2 and 3
Plan Description
PERS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement system comprised of three separate plans
for membership purposes: Plans 1 and 2 are defined benefit plans and Plan 3 is a defined benefit
plan with a defined contribution component. Membership in the system includes: elected officials;
state employees; employees of the Supreme, Appeals, and Superior courts (other than judges
currently in a judicial retirement system); employees of legislative committees; community and
technical colleges, college and university employees not participating in national higher education
retirement programs; judges of district and municipal courts; and employees of local
governments. PERS participants who joined the system by September 30, 1977, are Plan 1
members. Those who joined on or after October 1, 1977 and by either, February 28, 2002 for
state and higher education employees, or August 31, 2002 for local government employees, are
Plan 2 members unless they exercise an option to transfer their membership to Plan 3. PERS
participants joining the system on or after March 1, 2002 for state and higher education
employees, or September 1, 2002 for local government employees have their revocable option of
choosing membership in either PERS Plan 2 or PERS Plan 3. The option must be exercised
within 90 days of employment. An employee is reported in Plan 2 until a choice is made.
Employees who fail to choose within 90 days default to PERS Plan 3. PERS defined benefit
retirement benefits are financed from a combination of investment earnings and employer and
employee contributions. PERS retirement benefit provisions are established in state statute and
may be amended only by the State Legislature.
Plan 1 retirement benefits are vested after an employee completes five years of eligible service.
Plan 1 members are eligible for retirement at any age after 30 years of service, or at the age of 60
with five years of service, or at the age of 55 with 25 years of service. The annual benefit is 2
percent of the average final compensation per year of service, capped at 60 percent. The
average final compensation is based on the greatest compensation during any 24 eligible
consecutive compensation months. If qualified, after reaching the age of 66 a cost-of-living
allowance is granted based on years of service credit and is capped at 3 percent annually.
Plan 2 retirement benefits are vested after an employee completes five years of eligible service.
Plan 2 members may retire at the age of 65 with five years of service, or at the age of 55 with 20
years of service, with an allowance of 2 percent of the average final compensation per year of
service. The average final compensation is based on the greatest compensation during any
eligible consecutive 60-month period. Plan 2 retirements prior to the age of 65 receive reduced
benefits. If retirement is at age 55 or older with at least 30 years of service, a 3 percent per year
reduction applies; otherwise an actuarial reduction will apply. There is no cap on years of service
credit; and a cost-of-living allowance is granted (indexed to the Seattle Consumer Price Index),
capped at 3 percent annually.
Plan 3 has a dual benefit structure. Employer contributions finance a defined benefit component,
and member contributions finance a defined contribution component. The defined benefit portion
provides a benefit calculated at 1 percent of the average final compensation per year of service.
The average final compensation is based on the greatest compensation during any eligible
consecutive 60-month period. Effective June 7, 2006, Plan 3 members are vested in the defined
benefit portion of their plan after ten years of service; or after fiveyears if twelve months of that
service are earned after age 44; or after five service credit years earned in PERS Plan 2 prior to
June 1, 2003. Plan 3 members are immediately vested in the defined contribution portion of their
plan. Vested Plan 3 members are eligible to retire with full benefits at age 65, or at age 55 with 10
years of service. Retirements prior to the age of 65 receive reduced benefits. If retirement is at
age 55 or older with at least 30 years of service, a 3 percent per year reduction applies; otherwise
an actuarial reduction will apply. The benefit is also actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a
survivor option. There is no cap on years of service credit; and Plan 3 provides the same cost-of-
69
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
living allowance as Plan 2. The defined contribution portion can be distributed in accordance with
an option selected by the member, either as a lump sum or pursuant to other options authorized
by the Employee Retirement Benefits Board.
There are 1,181 participating employers in PERS. Membership in PERS consisted of the
following as of the latest actuarial valuation date for the plans of September 30, 2005:
Retirees and beneficiaries receiving benefits 68,609
Terminated plan members entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 22,567
Active plan members vested 104,574
Active plan members non-vested 51,004
Total 246,754
Funding Policy
Each biennium, the state Pension Funding Council adopts Plan 1 employer contribution rates,
Plan 2 employer and employee contribution rates, and Plan 3 employer contribution rates.
Employee contribution rates for Plan 1 are established by statute at 6 percent for state agencies
and local government unit employees, and 7.5 percent for state government elected officers. The
employer and employee contribution rates for Plan 2 and the employer contribution rate for Plan 3
are developed by the Office of the State Actuary to fully fund Plan 2 and the defined benefit
portion of Plan 3. All employers are required to contribute at the level established by the
Legislature. Under PERS Plan 3, employer contributions finance the defined benefit portion of the
plan, and member contributions finance the defined contribution portion. The Employee
Retirement Benefits Board sets Plan 3 employee contribution rates. Six rate options are available
ranging from 5 to 15 percent; two of the options are graduated rates dependent on the
employee’s age. The methods used to determine the contribution requirements are established
under state statute in accordance with chapters 41.40 and 41.45 RCW.
The required contribution rates expressed as a percentage of current-year covered payroll, as of
December 31, 2006 were as follows:
PERS Plan 1PERS Plan 2PERS Plan 3
Employer*3.69%**3.69%3.69%****

Law Enforcement Officers’ and Fire Fighters’ Retirement Systems (LEOFF) Plans 1 and 2
Plan Description
LEOFF is a cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement system comprised of two separate defined
benefit plans. LEOFF participants who joined the system by September 30, 1977 are Plan 1
members. Those who joined on or after October 1, 1977 are Plan 2 members. Membership in the
system includes all full-time, fully compensated, local law enforcement officers and firefighters.
LEOFF membership is comprised primarily of non-state employees, with the Department of Fish
and Wildlife enforcement officers, who were first included prospectively effective July 27, 2003
being an exception. In addition, effective July 24, 2005, current members of PERS who are
emergency medical technicians can elect to become members of LEOFF Plan 2. Effective July 1,
2003, the LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board was established to provide governance of LEOFF
Plan 2. The Board’s duties include adopting contribution rates and recommending policy changes
to the Legislature for the LEOFF Plan 2 retirement plan. LEOFF defined benefits are financed
from a combination of investment earnings, employer and employee contributions, and a special
funding situation in which the state pays the remainder through state legislative appropriations.
LEOFF retirement benefit provisions are established in state statute and may be amended by the
State Legislature.
Plan 1 retirement benefits are vested after an employee completes five years of eligible service.
Plan 1 members are eligible for retirement with five years of service at the age of 50. The benefit
per year of service calculated as a percent of final average salary is as follows:
Term of ServicePercent of Final Average Salary
20 or more years2.0%
10 but less than 20 years1.5%
5 but less than 10 years1.0%
The final average salary is the basic monthly salary received at the time of retirement, provided a
member has held the same position or rank for 12 months preceding the date of retirement.
Otherwise, it is the average of the highest consecutive 24 months’ salary within the last 10 years
of service. If membership was established in LEOFF after February 18, 1974, the service
retirement benefit is capped at 60 percent of final average salary. A cost-of-living allowance is
granted (indexed to the Seattle Consumer Price Index).
Plan 2 retirement benefits are vested after an employee completes five years of eligible service.
Plan 2 members may retire at the age of 50 with 20 years of service, or at the age of 53 with five
years of service, with an allowance of 2 percent of the final average salary per year of service.
The final average salary is based on the highest consecutive 60 months. Plan 2 retirements prior
to the age of 53 are reduced 3 percent for each year that the benefit commences prior to age 53
and to reflect the choice of a survivor option. There is no cap on years of service credit; and a
cost-of-living allowance is granted (indexed to the Seattle Consumer Price Index), capped at 3
percent annually.
There are 376 participating employers in LEOFF. Membership in LEOFF consisted of the
following as of the latest actuarial valuation date for the plans of September 30, 2005:
Retirees and beneficiaries receiving benefits 8,723
Terminated plan members entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 577

Funding Policy
Starting on July 1, 2000, Plan 1 employers and employees will contribute zero percent as long as
the plan remains fully funded. Employer and employee contribution rates are developed by the
Office of the State Actuary to fully fund the plan. Plan 2 employers and employees are required to
pay at the level adopted by the LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board in accordance with Chapter
41.45 RCW. All employers are required to contribute at the level required by state law. The
Legislature has the ability, by means of a special funding arrangement, to appropriate money
from the state General Fund to supplement the current service liability and fund the prior service
costs of Plans 1 and 2 in accordance with the requirements of the Pension Funding Council.
However, this special funding situation is not mandated by the state constitution and this funding
requirement could be returned to the employers by a change of statute.
The required contribution rates expressed as a percentage of current year covered payroll, as of
December 31, 2006 were:

City of Auburn Fire Relief and Pension Plan
The City is the administrator of the Firemen’s Pension Plan (Plan), which is a closed, single-
employer defined benefit pension plan that was established in conformance with RCW Chapters
41.16 and 41.18. This plan provided retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living
adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Membership is limited to
firefighters employed prior to March 1, 1970 when the LEOFF retirement system was established.
The City’s obligation under the Firemen’s Pension Plan consists of paying all benefits, including
payments to beneficiaries and healthcare, for firefighters who retired prior to March 1, 1970, and
excess pension and healthcare benefits of LEOFF for covered firefighters who retired after March
1, 1970. The Plan does not issue a separate financial report.
Under state law, the Firemen’s Pension Plan is provided an allocation of 25% of all monies
received by the state from taxes on fire insurance premiums, interest earnings, member
contributions made prior to the inception of LEOFF, and City contributions required to meet
projected future pension obligations. The actuary determined as of January 1, 2007 that no
72
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
future City contributions would be required beyond future revenues from state fire insurance taxes
and interest earnings. In 2006 $56,327 was received from the state from taxes on fire insurance
premiums. Administrative costs, such as City staff time and actuarial valuation costs are funded
from interest earnings or City contributions.
Membership of the Firemen’s Pension Plan consisted of 15 eligible, of which 14 are receiving
benefits.

NOTE 10 – LONG-TERM DEBT
General Obligation Bonds are direct obligations of the City for which its full faith and credit are
pledged. Debt service for voter-approved issues, of which the City has none, would be funded by
special property tax levies. Debt service for City Council authorized bonds, also called
councilmanic bonds, is funded from regular property taxes or general revenues, and is generally
paid from debt service funds but can be paid from other designated funds.
74
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
General Obligation Bonds outstanding at year-end are as follows:
1998 Limited Tax General Obligation bonds were issued for construction of a library to be
owned and operated by the King County Rural Library District. These 20-year bonds
mature in 2018 and are paid from the Debt Service fund.
1999 Limited Tax General Obligation bonds were issued for construction of hangars at
the Auburn Municipal Airport. These 20-year bonds mature in 2019 and are paid from
the Airport fund.
Valley Communication Center Development Authority issued General Obligation bonds in
2000 for a new dispatch facility. The City is contracted to pay 20% of the debt service of
these 15-year bonds that mature in 2015. This debt is paid from the General fund.
2005 Limited Tax General Obligation refunding bonds were issued to partially advance
refund the 1999 Limited Tax Obligation bonds.
2006 Limited Tax General Obligation bonds were issued to fund improvements at the
Auburn Golf Course including a pro shop, clubhouse and related facilities, as well as
construction of a columbarium at the Mountain View Cemetery.
2006 Limited Tax General Obligation (taxable) bonds were issued to construct and equip
restaurant, banquet and related facilities for a restaurant facility to be located at the
Auburn Golf Course clubhouse.
Revenue Bonds are payable from water and storm drainage utility revenues generated by those
enterprise funds.
Special Assessment Bonds are not a direct responsibility of the City, but are funded from the
collection of special assessment payments. Debt service principal and interest costs are paid
from the individual LID funds. The City is obligated for special assessment debt to the extent that
it is required to establish an LID Guarantee fund for the purpose of guaranteeing the payment of
local improvement bonds in the event there are insufficient funds in the individual LID fund. As of
December 31, 2006, a total of $101,340 of special assessments was delinquent, and there was
$89,285 in delinquent interest and penalties. During 2006 the City acquired from King County the
parcel subject to the outstanding assessments, interest and penalties. See Note 16 for
subsequent events related to the outstanding assessments.
State of Washington Public Works Trust Fund Loans are a direct responsibility of the City.
Auburn currently has six outstanding loans with a remaining total balance of $9,853,410. Five of
the loans are being repaid from water and sewer fund revenues over a 20-year period that begins
upon each project completion. The other loan is being repaid from arterial street fund revenues
over a 4-year period that begins upon project completion.
Debt Issued during 2006 was used for various business-type activities. On August 22, 2006, the
City issued $3,275,000 of Limited General Obligation Bonds with a premium of $108,030 and an
interest rate of 4.25% to 5.00%. The bonds were issued to fund improvements at the Auburn Golf
Course including a pro shop, clubhouse and related facilities, as well as construction of a
columbarium at the Mountain View Cemetery. The net proceeds of $3,359,175 (after payment of
$44,336 in underwriting fees, insurance, and other issuance costs), were held for disbursement
on construction related expenditures. Any excess funds were invested in the Local Government
Investment Pool (LGIP). Although the debt is a general obligation of the City, the expectation is
that the golf course and cemetery will fund debt service from operations. For this reason, the debt
is reflected in the Proprietary Funds Statement of Net Assets.
75
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Also on August 22, 2006, the City issued $1,885,000 of taxable Limited General Obligation Bonds
with an interest rate of 5.40% to 5.52%. The bonds were issued to construct and equip
restaurant, banquet and related facilities for a restaurant facility to be located at the golf course
clubhouse. The net proceeds of $1,859,817 (after payment of $25,183 in underwriting fees,
insurance, and other issuance costs), were held for disbursement on construction related
expenditures. Any excess funds were invested in the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP).
Although the debt is a general obligation of the City, the expectation is that the golf course will
fund debt service from operations. For this reason, the debt is reflected in the Proprietary Funds
Statement of Net Assets.
The following schedules summarize the long-term debt transactions of the City for the year ended
December 31, 2006. The first table summarizes all debt transactions for Auburn, while the

CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenue Bond Debt Service Coverage
The required debt service coverage for the 1997 and 1999 utility revenue bonds and the 2005
utility revenue refunding bonds is 1.25. Debt service coverage for 2006 was 3.64. Please refer to
Schedule 16 in the statistical section.
The restricted rate stabilization fund for the utility revenue bonds was established to minimize the
effect on rates of revenue fluctuations between years. By transferring cash into this stabilization
fund, adjusted net revenue available for debt service, as defined, would be decreased by the
amount of the transfer. Conversely, transfers out of the account would increase adjusted net
revenue available for debt service.
NOTE 11 – CONSTRUCTION COMMITMENTS
At December 31, 2006 the City had the following contractual obligations on construction projects:
Building projects13,697$
Street projects467,765
Utilities projects2,019,528
Total commitments2,500,990$
NOTE 12 – CEMETERY ENDOWMENT CARE FUND
The City maintains one permanent fund known as the cemetery endowed care fund. Paid into
this fund are 15% of all proceeds received from the sale of each grave, niche or crypt. This fund
is irreducible in principal and no part of the income of this fund shall ever be used for purposes
other than those specified upon the creation of the fund.
RCW 68.44.020 restricts the use of endowment net appreciation to endowment care “stipulated in
the instrument by which the fund was established”. For the City, the instrument that established
the fund is Auburn City Code section 3.04.080, and section 3.040.120 governs the use of the
fund.
ACC 3.04.120 restricts net interest or income from investments to the care of the lots and in the
improvement or embellishment of the cemetery or the erection or preservation of any buildings or
structures, fences or walks, or for the repair, preservation, erection or renewal of any tomb,
monument, grave, stone, fence, railing or other erection in or around the cemetery. The funds
may also be used for planting and cultivating trees, shrubs, flowers or plants in or around the
cemetery. All expenditures of income from the fund must first be authorized by the City Council.
For 2006, of the $69,532 net appreciation on investments, $34,442 was available for expenditure,
and the rest was related to an unrealized gain on a long-term investment that matures in 2009.
Amounts that are available for expenditure are reflected as unrestricted net assets.
NOTE 13 – JOINT VENTURE / RELATED PARTY
The “Valley Communications Center” was established August 20, 1976, when an Interlocal
Agreement was entered into by four participating municipal corporations: Renton, Kent, Auburn
and Tukwila. The provisions and terms of the “Interlocal Cooperation Act”, pursuant to RCW
39.34, sanction the agreement. The initial duration of the agreement was five years and
78
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
thereafter is automatically extended for consecutive two-year periods, unless terminated by one
or more of the participating cities. Any such termination must be in writing and served upon the
other cities on or before July 1 in any one year and such termination shall then become effective
on the last day of such year.
On August 4, 1999 the Administration Board of Valley Communications Center voted to include
the City of Federal Way as a full participating member city as of January 1, 2000. The five
participating municipal corporations that include the cities of Renton, Kent, Auburn, Tukwila, and
Federal Way on April 17, 2000 entered into a new interlocal Agreement, pursuant to RCW 39.34,
et seq. This agreement reaffirmed Valley Communications Center as a governmental
administration agency pursuant to RCW 39.34.030 (3) (b).
The purpose of the joint operation, hereafter referred to as Valley Com, is to provide improved
consolidated emergency communications (dispatch) services for police, fire and medical aid to
the five participating cities and to the several subscribing agencies, which include King County
Fire Districts #2, #20, #40, #43, #44, #47, Black Diamond Fire Department, Vashon Island Fire
Department, City of Pacific Police and Fire Departments, City of Algona Police Department, City
of Black Diamond Police Department, City of Des Moines Police Department, SeaTac Fire
Department, North Highline Fire Department, and King County EMS Units. In 1988, King County
Fire District #1 was annexed to the City of Tukwila. A separate agreement between Valley Com
and the subscribing agencies has been executed, which set forth condition of services and rates
charged.
The participating cities provide the majority of revenues to Valley Com. The method of allocating
revenue source was changed in 1990 to a basis of prior years calls with actual first and second
quarter and estimated third and fourth quarter calls. The allocation of prorated financial
participation among the five participating cities is the percentage of estimated dispatched calls
attributed to each jurisdiction compared to the total actual and estimated dispatched calls, for the
period for January 1, through December 31. The percentages are applied to the current
approved budget, less revenue from subscribing agencies and all other sources.
The 2006 cost distribution for the five participating cities is as follows:
DispatchablePercent of

Federal Way79,28623.49%
Total337,513100.00%
* Distribution of current year net income is based on these budgeted percentages.
Valley Com is served by an Administration Board composed of the Mayors or designated
representatives from the five participating cities of Renton, Kent, Auburn, Tukwila and Federal
Way. The Administration Board is responsible for the following functions: 1) Budget review and
recommendation to the legislative bodies of the participating cities, and budget adoption after
each legislative body has approved the required financial participation for the ensuing year; 2)
Approval of appointment and/or discharge of the Director; 3) Approval of personnel policy and
final decisions on all major policy changes; 4) Review and approval of all contracts.
79
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In addition, an Operations Board provides direction and consists of two members of each
participating City’s public safety departments, including the heads of such departments or their
designees. The Operations Board performs the following functions: 1) Oversees the operation of
Valley Com, advises and makes recommendations to the Administration Board; 2) Makes
recommendations on Director selection; 3) Presents proposed policies and budget to the
Administration Board; 4) Approves disbursement of funds by the Director.
The Director presents a proposed budget to the Operations Board on or before August 15 of each
year. Said budget is then presented to the Administration Board by September 1 of each year.
The Administration Board can make changes to the proposed Valley Com budget as it finds
necessary, but final approval falls to the legislative body of each participating city in accordance
with the provisions of the Interlocal Agreement.
In August 1993, Valley Com entered into an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement, pursuant to
Chapter 39.34 RCW, with the sub-regions of King County, Seattle and Eastside Public Safety
Communications Agency (EPSCA). This agreement governs the development, acquisition and
installation of the 800 MHz emergency radio communications system (system) funded by the $57
million King County levy.
This agreement provides that upon voluntary termination of any sub-region participation in the
system, it surrenders its radio frequencies, relinquishes its equipment and transfers any
unexpended levy proceeds and association equipment replacement reserves to another sub-
region or consortium of sub-regions.

NOTE 14 – CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION
As of December 31, 2006, a number of claims were pending against the City for damages and
legal actions. While the outcome of these actions is uncertain, no losses are clearly anticipated
at this time due to these pending claims. In the event of a liability finding against the City, it is
anticipated that any potential adverse judgment against the City also would be subject to
coverage under the City’s comprehensive liability insurance, including public officials’ errors and
omission insurance and general liability insurance.
80
CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 15 – RISK MANAGEMENT & INSURANCE
Risk Management
The City of Auburn is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA).
Utilizing Chapter 48.62 RCW (self-insurance regulation) and Chapter 39.34 RCW (Interlocal
Cooperation Act), nine cities originally formed WCIA on January 1, 1981. WCIA was created for
the purpose of providing a pooling mechanism for jointly purchasing insurance, jointly self-
insuring, and / or jointly contracting for risk management services. WCIA has a total of 121
Members.
New members initially contract for a three-year term, and thereafter automatically renew on an
annual basis. A one-year withdrawal notice is required before membership can be terminated.
Termination does not relieve a former member from its unresolved loss history incurred during
membership.
Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis, without deductibles. Coverage includes
general, automobile, police, public officials’ errors or omissions, stop gap, and employee benefits
liability. Limits are $3 million per occurrence self insured layer, and $12 million per occurrence in
the re-insured excess layer. The excess layer is insured by the purchase of reinsurance and
insurance and is subject to aggregate limits. Total limits are $15 million per occurrence subject to
aggregate sublimits in the excess layers. The Board of Directors determines the limits and terms
of coverage annually.
Insurance coverage for property, automobile physical damage, fidelity, inland marine, and boiler
and machinery are purchased on a group basis. Various deductibles apply by type of coverage.
Property insurance and auto physical damage are self-funded from the members’ deductible to
$500,000, for all perils other than flood and earthquake, and insured above that amount by the
purchase of reinsurance.
In-house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services, claims and
litigation administration, and loss analyses. WCIA contracts for the claims investigation
consultants for personnel issues and land use problems, insurance brokerage, and lobbyist
services.
WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated
basis, as determined by an outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss
adjustment, and administrative expenses. As outlined in the interlocal, WCIA retains the right to
additionally assess the membership for any funding shortfall.
An investment committee, using investment brokers, produces additional revenue by investment
of WCIA's assets in financial instruments which comply with all State guidelines. These revenues
directly offset portions of the membership's annual assessment.
A Board of Directors governs WCIA, which is comprised of one designated representative from
each member. The Board elects an Executive Committee and appoints a Treasurer to provide
general policy direction for the organization. The WCIA Executive Director reports to the
Executive Committee and is responsible for conducting the day to day operations of WCIA.
No settlement has exceeded insurance coverage over the past three years.

CITY OF AUBURN: 2006 CAFR NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Workers’ Compensation
Title 51 RCW requires the City to ensure payment of benefits for job-related injuries and diseases
through the Workers’ Compensation fund or through self-insurance. The City participates in the
State of Washington’s Workers’ Compensation program. Premiums are based on individual
employer’s reported payroll hours and insurance rates based on each employer’s risk
classification and past experience. The premium is paid by employer and employee
contributions.
NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Fire Authority
Residents of the cities of Auburn, Algona and Pacific approved in the November 7, 2006 general
election the creation of a regional fire authority pursuant to RCW 52.26. The new regional fire
protection service authority, called the Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA), will provide first
responder fire and emergency medical services to residents of Auburn, Algona and Pacific. The
VRFA is new municipal corporation, with its own Governing Board, and is legally separate from
the three cities it services. The Governing Board of the VRFA consists of the Mayors of the three
cities within the VRFA service area, as well as two Councilmembers from each city. Effective
January 1, 2007, all personnel, assets, equipment and contractual obligations of the former
Auburn Fire Department were transferred to the VRFA. Similar transfers were made by the cities
of Algona and Pacific.
The effect to the City of Auburn of the creation of the VRFA is to reduce the City’s operating
budget for 2007 by the amount previously budgeted for the Auburn Fire Department. The budget
originally adopted for the Auburn Fire Department for 2007 was $10,716,700. It is expected that
for 2007 the three cities serviced by the VRFA will dedicate a portion of their property tax revenue
to fund operations of the VRFA, as well as other miscellaneous revenue sources. Beginning in
2008 the VRFA will levy its own property tax amount as well as a fire benefit charge based on the
square footage of a structure, its occupancy type and the fire protection infrastructure present, if
any.
Delinquent Special Assessments
As described in Note 10, as of December 31, 2006, a total of $101,340 of special assessments
was delinquent, and there was $89,285 in delinquent interest and penalties. During 2006 the City
acquired from King County the parcel subject to the delinquent assessments, interest and
penalties. At the City Council’s Finance Committee meeting on February 20, 2007, the Committee
approved the write-off of the delinquent special assessments, penalties and interest as the City
owned the subject property since acquiring it in September 2006.
