Quarterly Financial Report Through March 2024
This report provides an overview of the City’s overall cash-basis financial position for the fiscal
period ending March 31, 2024, reflecting data available as of May 15, 2024. References to
budget, actual and prior year amounts reflect year-to-date numbers, unless otherwise stated.
Year-to -date budget expectations are generally based on the two prior years of data.
General Fund Overview
The City has entered 2024 on the heels of a solid financial performance in 2023 , and is currently
in the midst of developing the biennial budget for the fiscal years of 2025 -2026. General Fund
revenues have generally exceeded budget expectations and largely recovered from the impact of
COVID-19. With the adoption of Ordinance #6918 in November 2023, the annual budget consists
of $106.0 million in revenues and $104.0 million in expenditures - a planned increase in General
Fund balance of $2.0 million.
Through the first quarter of 2024, the General Fund outperformed revenue expectations.
Comparing year-to -date 2024 revenues versus year-to-date 2023 revenues, the City collected
$6.1 million or 30.0% more. A large contributor to this outcome was Business and Occupation
(B&O) tax revenue; during the first quarter the City collected $3.1 million in B&O taxes, which
includes back dated collections. However, the City anticipates that B&O revenues will decline
from a high point of $10.6 million as payments related to prior periods decrease . The City also
implemented a new photo enforcement program during the second half of 2023 which generated
$755,500 of new revenue during the first quarter of 2024.Slightly mitigating the increases in
General Fund revenues, the City also saw increased expenditures from the same period last year
by $1.3 million or 6.1%. This is du e to planned increases in overhead costs and professional
services (citywide projects and improvements).
To help attract visitors/tourists into the City, a wide range of recreational classes and access to
the Auburn Golf Course. Greens fees at the Auburn Golf Course have remained a staple revenue
source, comprising roughly 67% or $505,000 of the total culture and recreation revenues.
Recreational classes have remained stable from 2023 collections and with the upcoming spring
and summer months, an anticipated increase to golf course revenues is expected.
Overall, General Fund revenues collected through Q1-2024 totaled $26.4 million as compared to
the year-to-date budget of $20.7 million, and were $5.5 million, or 26.4% above budget
expectations. General Fund expenditures through Q1 -2024 totaled $22.6 million compared to the
year-to-date budget of $24.3 million; resulting in a $800,000 or 3.4% underspend.
Page 16 of 88
Quarterly Financial Report Through March 2024 2
Revenue: The following factors had the most significant impacts on the budget vs. actual revenue
collected:
• Business and Occupation Tax: Revenues collected throughout Q1-2024 totaled $3.1
million, exceeding the year-to-date budget by $1.3 million. Some of this favorable
variance is due to the collection of tax obligation incurred in prior years and is not
expected to continue at the same level in subsequent years. [page 7]
• Fines and Penalties: Collections through the first quarter of 2024 were $1.07 million in
total and $813,000,000 favorable to budget. Higher than expected revenues from a
new photo enforcement program implemented by the City during the second quarter of
the prior year contributed $683,500 toward the favorable variance. Other non -court
fines and penalties are $134,000 favorable versus budget expectations, mainly due to
interest and penalties on B&O tax collection. [pages 17-18]
• Intergovernmental revenue: Q1-2024 revenues collected totaled $1.9 million, which was
$623,500 favorable to the year-to-date budget. The variance is mainly due to the timing
of collections from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT). Furthermore, the City received
an interlocal grant covering prior year projects as well , contributing to the favorable
variance. [page 14]
• Retail Sales Tax: The sales tax report for distributions through March 2024 (provided as
an attachment to this report) reflects amounts remitted to the City of Auburn based on
sales between November 2023 and January 2024. Collections totaled $5.7 million, a
0.9% increase from last year. Likewise, compared to the annual budget, sales tax has
a favorable variance of $563,400 or 11.0%. The increase resulted from multiple
categories, particularly services and transportation. [pages 5-7]
• Utility Tax: Revenues collected through Q1-2024 totaled $3.8 million and were $653,400
higher than budget expectations. Collection of backdated utility taxes from solid waste
haulers provided roughly 44% of the favorable variance. Likewise, city utility interfund
taxes provide a favorable variance of $247,000, mainly due to higher solid waste
collections resulting from a combination of increase levels of service provided and
increased rates. [pages 8-9]
Expenditures: Most departments operated within their year-to-date budgets through the first
quarter of 2024, with some variances due to the timing of professional services payments , as well
as expenses related to projects facilitated by ARPA funding. Overall favorable variance to the
year-to-date expense budget is $799,000. Contributing to the favorable variance was a savings in
salaries and benefits expenses; as of the compilation of this report, there were 29 vacant regular
full-time positions in the City. Services and charges were also below budget expectations through
the first quarter of 2024. This is partially due to the timing of spend on projects in -progress within
the City.

Quarterly Financial Report Through March 2024 3
Enterprise Funds Overview
The City’s enterprise funds account for operations with revenues primarily provided from user
fees, charges, or contracts for services. In the prior year, we noted that the City’s cash and
investment balances had increased significantly, due to increased interest rates and yields to
maturity for the City’s investment accounts. In 2024, the maturation of certain investments means
the Enterprise funds which previously saw significant year-over-year increases in interest
earnings are continuing to see higher interest inc ome, albeit at a lower growth rate. Through Q1 -
2024, total interest earnings for the City’s enterprise funds increased $55,000 from Q1 -2023 to
Q1-2024.
The Water Fund ended Q1-2024 with operating income of about $1.1 million, an increase of
$157,000 compared to the same period last year. This increase is due primarily to increased
water sales (+$373,000) and was partially offset by increased operating expenses (+$170,000).
Given the seasonality of Water revenues, we generally expect Water revenues to be lower in Q1,
while gradually increasing through Q2 and reaching their peak in Q3 when the weather is the
warmest. Operating revenues through Q1-2024 were higher than expected compared to our
budget projections (+$288,000), while operating expenses also came in under budget
(-$300,000), resulting in a $588,000 favorable variance to budget. [pages 22-23]
The Sewer Fund ended Q1-2024 with operating income of about $1.2 million versus $989,000 in
the same period last year. The main drivers of this $236,000 increase are increased service
charges and interest earnings, compared to the prior year. In total, operating income for th is fund
was $1.3 million favorable compared to our budget projections, due to favorable variances in both
operating revenues (+$548,000) and operating expenses (-$724,000). [page 23]
The Stormwater Fund ended Q1-2024 with operating income of about $832,000, which is
$88,000 lower than Q1-2023. While charges for storm service did increase $151,000 compared to
the prior year, the fund also saw a year-over-year decrease in interest earnings. Additional drivers
included increased personnel costs (+$109,000) and miscellaneous service costs (+$69,000),
including utility taxes. This fund outperformed budget projections by $636,000 through Q1-2024,
with favorable variances to budget in operating revenues (+$428,000) and operating expenses
(-$208,000). [page 23]
The Solid Waste Fund ended Q1-2024 with operating income of about $5.0 million, which is
significantly higher than the operating loss of $71,000 that the fund saw in Q1 -2023. This is due
to a difference in the timing of payments made to the solid waste vendor, which lowered the
amount paid in Q1-2024 compared to the prior year. This fund also saw an increase of $532,000
in charges for service due to higher rates in 2024, which contributed to the overall year-over-year
increase. This timing difference also impacted variances to budget, given tha t the City recorded
less expenses than originally anticipated through Q1 -2024. [page 24]
Internal Service Funds Overview
Internal service funds provide services to other City departments and include functions such as
Insurance, Worker’s Compensation, Facilities, Innovation & Technology, and Equipment Rental.
No significant variances were reported in these funds during Q1 -2024. [page 24]

Quarterly Financial Report Through March 2024 5
Revenue
The combined total of property, sales/use, utility, gambling, and admissions taxes provides over
70% of all resources supporting general governmental activities. Licenses, charges for services,
intergovernmental revenue (grants, state shared revenue, etc.) and fines contribute a further 25%
of total revenue to the General Fund . The remaining 5% is comprised of a combination of
different sources that are considered to be one -time resources. The following section provides
additional information on the most significant tax resource streams.
Property Tax collections in the first quarter totaled roughly $1.1 million, approximately $90,000 or
7.9% below budget projections.. However, as depicted in the graphic below, the majority of
property taxes are collected during the months of April and October, coinciding with the due dates
for the County property tax billings.
Retail Sales Tax collections through Q1-2024 totaled $5.7 million, re presenting taxes remitted to
the City of Auburn based on sales from November 2023 through January 2024. Overall, these
revenues are on par with collections through Q1 -2023, with steady performances in the
transportation (+$18,425), wholesale (+$9,300), and services (+$24,400) industries more than
offsetting slight decreases in most of the remaining industries. Of the main contributors to sales
tax revenues, construction (-$33,500) and automotive (-$9,000) generated less revenue than in
Q1-2023. In addition to the small overall in crease from Q1-2023, these revenues are favorable to
budget by nearly $563,000 or 11.0% through the first quarter.
The City set an overall budget of $20.6 million for the fiscal year of 2024; based on year-to-date
performance, actual collections may exceed this by year-end. King County estimates1 that sales
tax revenues will have an annual growth of 3.9% from 2023 actuals. Dating back to 2014, the City
has seen consistent growth within the sales tax revenue stream by an average of 7.6% year -over-
year.

The following table breaks out the City’s retail sales taxes by major business sector.
Business & Occupation (B&O) Taxes were implemented by the City at the beginning of 2022.
These taxes are collected from businesses based on either the value of gross receipts or square
footage of occupied warehousing space, subject to certain constraints. While the City receives
collections throughout the year, B&O taxes are generally collected on a quarterly basis. By
reconciling against the State’s Business Licensing System the City was able to identify taxes
collectable from prior periods, significantly contributing to the performance of this revenue.
Overall collection throughout the first quarter of the year totaled $3.1 million versus a budgeted
amount of $1.8 million. Current 2024 collections outpace 2023 collections through the same
period by $1.4 million (83.7%), although recovery of back taxes is anticipated to decrease over
time.

Utility Taxes consist of an 11.5% tax on the gross revenues of water, sewer, storm drainage and
solid waste utilities and a 6.0% tax on electric, natural gas, and telephone utilities operating within
the City. Of those utilities taxed at 11.5%, the General Fund receives 9.0% while the remaining
2.5% is dedicated to funding City streets projects. The utilities taxed at 6.0% contribute 5.0% to
the General Fund and 1.0% to City streets projects.
Overall, utility taxes increased by $466,000 or 13.9% from Q1-2023 and are $653,400 favorable
to budget. Roughly 70% of the utility taxes collected by the City are represented by the city
interfund utility and electric utility taxes. These two revenue sources accounted for $2.7 million of
the collected $3.8 million throughout the first quarter of 2024.
Furthermore, telephone taxes have increased from Q1 -2023 by $149,000 and was mainly due to
the timing of collections from prior year activity. A portion of the overall favorable variance comes
within the Solid Waste (external) category due to the City coll ecting backdated utility taxes from
solid waste haulers. The City anticipates this level of collection to slow as more utility taxes
become current.
The table and graphics below demonstrate the various utility tax revenues and show actual
revenues compared to budget. Note that these amounts correspond to only the General Fund
portion of revenues, and do not contain those revenues allocated for funding City streets projects.

Quarterly Financial Report Through March 2024 9
Note: The large increase from 2019 ($10.9 million) to 2020 ($12.7 million) is attributed to the
City’s decision mid-2020 to reallocate 1.0% previously dedicated to the Arterial Street
Preservation Fund to support General Fund operations, due to the uncertainty of the economic
impacts of COVID-19. The Arterial Street Preservation Fund’s 1.0% was reinstated in 2021, but
2021 collections continued to increase due to an increase in the City’s internal utility tax rate from
7.0% to 10.0%. The significant jump from 2022 ($12.8 million) to 2023 ($15.4 million) is largely
due to higher service revenue following a rate increase effective in 2023, combined with higher
service usage and the collection of B&O taxes on businesses that provide utility services.

An Admission Tax of 5.0% is placed on charges for general admission, season tickets, cover
charges, etc. which are generally collected on a quarterly basis. Admission tax revenues of
approximately $260,000 collected through March 2024 were significantly higher (177.1%) than
Q1-2023, and favorable variance to budget by $145,000. The large increase in collections in
March was due to a one-time payment as part of an agreement. Controlling for this non-recurring
payment, admission taxes are still reporting a favorable variance to budget by roughly $59,000.
Gambling Tax applies to all card games, punch board games, pull tabs, bingo games, raffles and
amusement games played within City limits. The majority of gambling tax revenues are collected
from amusement games (87.0%) and punch boards and pull tabs (12.9%). Through the first
quarter, collections are $75,000 lower than 2023 year-to-date totals and report a $47,000, or
61.6%, unfavorable variance to budget. The primary driver for the unfavorable variance is due to
the City receiving no collections for card games. Gambling tax revenues historically have high
volatility from year to year: excluding 2021, recent first-quarter revenues average about $72,000
but have been as high as $103,000 (2023) and as low as $35,000 (2018).

Quarterly Financial Report Through March 2024 11
Licenses and Permits include business licenses, building permits, plumbing, electric and other
licenses and permit fees. Building permit fees (approximately 60%) and business licenses
(approximately 15%) typically make up about 75% of the annual budgeted revenue in this
category.
The annual Business License renewal fee for each business located within the City is $103.
Previously, all businesses were on calendar year renewal cycle, resulting in the majority of
business license revenue being collected in November and December for existing businesses
renewing their licenses.
As of September of 2022, businesses are now on an annual renewal cycle that begins on the
date the business had originally been granted a license. This methodology has smoothed
revenue collection throughout the year, which can also be seen in the chart below as a fairly
linear progression of year-to-date collections totaling $159,000, compared to $204,000 in Q1-
2023, a -22.2% decrease. Historically business license collections have been a highly volatile
revenue source, though collections in 2024 are projected to be comparable to 2023 totals due to
increased discovery through B&O tax collections and use of the State’s Business Licensing
System.

Building Permit revenues collected through March 2024 totaled $234,500. Building permits are
approximately $92,000 higher than 2023 collections year-to-date and holds a favorable variance
against the budget of $13,750 (6.2%). A large contributing factor for this favorable variance is due
to the increased valuation of construction permits on mixed use and subdivision builds, which
coincides with the marginal gains noted in plan check fees mentioned later in this report. The
number of permits submitted have also increased from 2023 by 29.0% through the first quarter
representing an increased workload of construction throughout the City .

Intergovernmental revenues include grants and stimulus monies (direct and indirect federal,
state, and local), revenue from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT) compact as well as state
shared revenues. Collections through Q1-2024 totaled $1.9 million and were $623,000 favorable
to budget expectations. Much of this favorable variance is due to the final payment of the 2023
compact request made by Muckleshoot Casino in February 2024. However, the 2024 compact
request is still pending MIT approval, and no 2024 revenues have been collected to date.
Likewise, the City received reimbursements from an interlocal grant paying prior year expenses of
$120k contributing to the favorable variance.
Note: 2020 revenue was higher than normal due to the receipt of $3.8 million in federal CARES
grant money from the Department of Treasury.

Charges for Services consist of general governmental service charges, public safety charges,
development service fees, and culture and recreation fees. Total charges for services collected
through March 2024 totaled $2.5 million and were $172,000, or 7.2%, more than expected to
date, mainly due to development services (specifically plan check fees) being higher than
anticipated.
The General Government revenue category primarily includes the interfund assessment for
support departments (Finance, Human Resources and Legal). Operating costs for these
departments are charged to the respective General Fund home department and the portion of
those costs that provide citywide benefit are recouped from other funds via interfund charges.
General Government revenues also include fees for passport services, reimbursement from cities
participating in the South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP), as well as
transportation projects. The unfavorable variance of $25,000 to budget is due to the timing of
SKHHP revenues, which are received on a reimbursement basis. Based on current schedules,
most of the budgeted expenses are for projects expected to occur during the second half of the
year and will be reimbursed at that time.
Public safety revenues mainly consist of revenues for law enforcement services, which are extra
duty security services whereby police officers are contracted for, and reimbursement is made by
the hiring agency. This category also includes reimbursements from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe
(MIT) for a full-time dedicated police officer and associated expenditures as well as monies
collected from the Auburn School District for services rendered. Public safety revenues collected
in the first quarter of 2024 totaled $270,000 and saw a $32,000 increase from 2023 first quarter
totals This is largely attributable to higher-than-expected DUI emergency response fees
collected. The sub-category of law enforcement services is higher than 2023 totals year-to-date
by $31,000 due to timing of collections on private security services. However, this sub-category
holds an unfavorable variance to budget by $9,000.
Development services fee collections consist primarily of plan check fees, facility extension
charges, and zoning and subdivision fees. Through Q1-2024, development service fees collected
totaled $400,000 and were $123,000 favorable to budget expectations. Major contributors to this
variance were plan check fees, where construction documents require review per Section 106.3
of the Construction Administrative Code (+$109,000) and zoning and subdivision (+$29,000).
Although FAC linear charges (fees assessed on projects that require extension of public facilities)
are higher year-over-year by $60,000 to date, this revenue source holds an unfavorable variance
to budget by $8,000. This is an effect of the revenue regressing to the mean after an exceptional
three-year period of high collections from 2020 through 2022. By comparison, while first quarter
collections in 2024 are lower than the same period in 2022, they are still higher than any other
first quarter collections dating back to 2009 .

Most culture and recreation revenues are derived from green fees and pro shop sales at the
Auburn Golf Course, recreational classes, ticket sales at the Auburn Avenue Theater, senior
programs, and special events. Overall, this category of revenues outperformed budget
expectations by $74,000, or 10.9%. Nearly 80% of the year-to-date revenues have come from the
Auburn Golf Course and recreation classes. Even with the favorable variances, greens fee
revenues have decreased $22,350 or -10.3% from the same period last year and are unfavorable
to budget by $175,500 year-to-date. The City projects that green fees collections will steadily rise
with the upcoming spring and summer seasons.
Recreation class revenues have generally remained consistent from prior year-to-date totals and
reported $313,000 in collections. Ticket sales for performances held at local school venues
(previously held at the Auburn Avenue Theater) have decreased by $13,750 or 23.0%. Since
2021, culture and recreation revenues have increased by roughly 18% each year, and the City
anticipates the same in 2024 with upcoming favorable weather for the golf course and
recreational classes.

Fines & Penalties include civil penalties (such as code compliance fines), parking and traffic
infraction penalties, criminal fines (including criminal traffic, criminal non -traffic, and other criminal
offenses) as well as non-court fines such as false alarm fines. The table below shows a detailed
breakdown of the different types of fines and penalties collected by the City.
Total revenues collected through March 202 4 totaled $1.1 million as compared to a budget of
$102,000 and were 949.6% above budget expectations. This is primarily due to collections of the
photo enforcement program implemented in 2023, which are classified as parking infractions.
Furthermore, the City received an influx of non -court fines & penalties in January and February
due to back-pay of B&O taxes.
The City contracts with the King County Court to operate its municipal court services . The number
of hearings, judgments, and collections activity began decreasing in 2019 and has continued to
decline since that time. Although the graph below shows a large spike in revenue in 2023 and
strong performance in 2024 , this is almost entirely due to photo enforcement and B&O-related
collections. Excluding these sources, the remaining court -related collections have declined to
$67,000, approximately one-third of their first quarter average for the period of 2015 -2019 prior to
contracting with the King County Court .

Miscellaneous Revenues consist of investment earnings, income from facility rentals, revenue
collected for golf cart rentals at the Auburn Golf Course, contributions and donations, and other
income including the quarterly purchasing card (P-card) rebate monies. A breakdown of the most
significant miscellaneous revenue categories are listed in the table below.
Revenues collected year-to-date 2024 in this category totaled $915,600 and were $469,000 or
105.0% favorable to budget. Of the favorable variance to budget, 78.8% was comprised of
interest and investment collections, far exceeding budget expectations due to higher -than-
expected interest rates and the timing of investment maturities. The City has multiple investments
maturing during the second half of the year which will impact revenue collections during that
timeframe also.
The “Other Miscellaneous Revenue” sub -category reported $3,300 more than the same
timeframe last year and was favorable to the year-to-date budget by $123,000. This category
includes $137,700 in revenue related to a national opioid settlement distribution program.
The rents and leases category includes payments for facility rentals , golf cart rentals, and
restaurant lease at the golf course . Rents and leases were to par with year-to-date budget
expectations, with facility revenues exceeding expectations by about $70,000 . Golf carts and
other rentals were unfavorable to expectations, resulting in general alignment of budget to actual
for the category.

Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) revenues are taxes on the sale of both commercial properties
and single-family residences. These collections are receipted into the Capital Improvement
Projects Fund and used for governmental capital projects.
REET revenues collected year-to-date in 2024 total $1.1 million which is $632,000 or 56.8%
favorable to budget expectations. According to King County assessed valuations of property
taxes, the City has increased in property value by 2.3%. Accompanied with lower interest rates
currently, the current climate for real estate sales are favorable for citizens within the State of
Washington.
Page 34 of 88
Quarterly Financial Report Through March 2024 20
As shown in the table below, REET collections were higher in both January and February than
their counterparts last year, while March experienced a decrease . In context, 2023 saw the lowest
first-quarter collection of REET revenue since 2018. Lower REET collections in 2023 represent a
cooling market after a period of increasing interest rates and historic inflation which saw revenue
peak in 2021 and decline each year since .

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Fund
In March 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law, with the intent of
mitigating the economic impacts related to COVID-19. Through ARPA’s State and Local
Government Fiscal Recovery Fund program, the City was allocated $14.75 million in funding.
Council approved the City’s acceptance of ARPA funds in Resolution #5608, and the general
spending categories of those funds (as determined by a Council ad hoc committee) in Ordinance
#6832.
The City’s plan for using ARPA funding is to mitigate the cost of providing public safety services
throughout the City. Since receiving the funding, the City has been able to offset all $14.8 million
in public safety expenditures, as shown in the table below and reported to the Department of the
Treasury.
As a result of the cost mitigation provided by the ARPA funding, the City has been able to allocate
General Fund funding toward projects approved by the Council ad hoc committee. As of March
31, 2024, the City has been able to spend $166,661 year-to-date and $4.6 million since 2021 on
the following projects:
The Minor Improvements to Qualifying Neighborhood Parks project will be able to make
improvements to numerous parks in our low-income census tracts are in need of modernization
that will assist in getting these community members outdoors and experiencing a better quality of
life. To date this project has spent $99,332 on Forest Villa Tot Lot replacing the perimeter fencing
and installing a new playground.

Quarterly Financial Report Through March 2024 22
The Encampment Cleanup project provides two service contracts that began in 2023; one
contract provides continued cleanup of garbage and debris related to encampments and other
illegal dumping on City-owned properties and rights of way (ROW), while the secondary contract
focuses specifically on encampment trash cleanup. To date, the project has spent $44 8,481 and
cleaned up 320 tons of litter and debris.
Beginning in 2023, the Emergency Housing Voucher Program is budgeted at $2 million over the
life of the program . This program assists residents of Auburn who are experiencing
homelessness and drug addiction who are willing to enroll in and complete inpatient treatment.
The program will cover the costs of clean and sober housing of participants for up to three years if
the participant follows the clean and sober housing agreement . Life-to-date project spend is
$344,755, with $72,330 occurring in Q1-2024.
Beginning in 2024, Auburn Avenue Theater Demolition project is budgeted at $300,000. The
project will demolish the existing Auburn Avenue Theater building, provide support to the shared
wall with the adjacent building, and disconnect existing utilities. The project design is complete,
and the design team is finalizing the construction plans and other contract documents for the
advertisement in June. Total project estimated costs are $251,000 and total project cost through
Q1-2024 totals $15,784.
Enterprise Funds
Utility activities are divided between operating funds and capital sub -funds. Operating funds
house all the operating costs along with debt service and financing obligations. Capital funds
show costs associated with capital acquisition and construction. Bo th the operating and capital
funds have a working capital balance, which is equivalent to current assets minus current
liabilities. This approach isolates those funds available for capital and cash flow needs for daily
operations and provides project manag ers information on the availability of working capital for
current and planned projects.
Through March 2024, the Water Utility had operating income of $1.1 million (operating revenues
less operating expenditures), approximately $157,000 above the same period last year. A
majority of this increase is due to higher revenues from water sales due to increased rates and
consumption; charges for service revenues were $3.9 million in Q1-2024 compared to $3.5
million in Q1-2023. In addition to increased water sales, the fund also saw higher expenses in
personnel costs (+$15,000), supplies (+$24,000) and other service charges, including utility taxes
(+$117,000).
Q1-2024 activity is consistent with the seasonality of this revenue stream, where revenues remain
relatively low early in the year and then increase in Q2 and Q3 as the weather grows warmer. In
total, operating income for this fund was $588,000 favorable to budget projections. Operating
revenues were $288,000 higher than expected through Q1-2024, while operating expenditures
had a $300,000 favorable variance to budget, driven by lower than expected utility expenses
during the quarter (-$75,600), professional service charges (-$56,200) and timing differences in
monthly excise tax payments (-$99,000).
Billable water consumption through Q1 -2024 totaled 618,000 ccf (hundred cubic feet),
approximately 28,000 ccf or 5.0% higher than consumption volume through Q1 -2023.
Consumption increased across every customer class except schools when compared to Q1 -
2023, with the largest increases by both volume and revenue amount s occurring in
manufacturing, commercial, and single -family accounts.

Quarterly Financial Report Through March 2024 23
Through Q1-2024, the Sewer Utility finished with operating income of $1.2 million as compared
to $989,000 through the same period last year. Operating revenues were up $190,000 or 7.8%
from the same period last year due to stronger performance in charges for City sewer service and
higher interest earnings. Interest earnings increased from $127,000 through Q1 -2023 to $240,000
through Q1-2024.
Operating expenses increased slightly (+$68,000) from the prior year, due primarily to increased
personnel costs (+$61,000), as well as other service charges, including utility tax expense
(+$13,000).
Through Q1-2024, this fund performed better than budget expectations with a $548,000 favorable
variance in operating revenues, both in charges for service (+$318,000) and interest earnings
(+$229,000). Additionally, operating expenditures had a $724,000 favorable variance compared
to budget expectations, driven primarily by the elimination of utility tax charges on pass-through
revenues for King County Metro Sewer service .
The Stormwater Utility had operating income of $832,000 through Q1-2024 compared with
$920,000 in the same period last year. This is consistent with the historical activity of this fund; as
most Stormwater service charges are based on a flat rate, there are not typically seasonal
fluctuations in Stormwater revenue. Operating expenses for this fund were higher through Q1-
2024 than through Q1-2023, driven by increased personnel costs (+$109,000) and other service
charges (+$69,000).
This fund also outperformed budget expectations, with a $636,000 favorable to budget variance
in operating income, driven by higher than anticipated revenues (+$428,000) and lower operating
expenditures (-$208,000) through Q1-2024.
Page 38 of 88
Quarterly Financial Report Through March 2024 24
The Solid Waste Utility finished Q1-2024 with operating income of $5.0 million, which was the
result of a timing difference between the City’s monthly payments to its solid waste vendor and
the collection of revenues for services performed during the first quarter. We expect a d irect
correlation between solid waste service charges and payments for service due to the contract
with the City’s solid waste provider; however, this timing difference in payments lowered
operating expenses in Q1-2024 compared to the prior year.
Internal Service Funds
Operating expenditures within the Insurance Fund represent the premium cost pool that will be
allocated monthly to other City funds over the course of the year. As a result, the expenditure
balance gradually diminishes each month throughout the year.
No significant variances are reported in the Workers’ Compensation, Facilities, Innovation &
Technology, or Equipment Rental Funds.

Background Summary:
The South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) was established through an
Interlocal Agreement between nine South King County cities and King County to work
together and share resources to increase options for South King County residents to access
affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing. SKHHP currently has 12
member jurisdictions. Consistent with the SKHHP Interlocal Agreement, the SKHHP 2025
Work Plan and Budget must be adopted by the SKHHP Executive Board and approved by
each member jurisdiction’s legislative body.
Every year, an annual Work Plan and Budget is developed in collaboration with the SKHHP
Executive Board, Advisory Board, and staff work group to guide the work of SKHHP staff in
the coming year. Pursuant to the SKHHP Interlocal Agreement, each participating jurisdiction
must approve SKHHP’s annual Work Plan and Budget. The 2025 Executive Board
recommended Work Plan was developed through surveys to the Executive and Advisory
Boards on their priorities in February and an interactive in-person discussion with the
Executive Board in March. The draft 2025 Work Plan and Budget was adopted on April 19,
2024 at the Executive Board’s regularly scheduled meeting.
The 2025 Work Plan includes four goals with corresponding action items. Each action item is
prioritized as higher, medium, or lower priority. Indicators are included to measure progress
on the goals. The four goals, which are the same as 2024’s goal, include the following:
1. Fund the expansion and preservation of affordable housing
2. Develop policies that expand and preserve affordable housing
3. Serve as an advocate for South King County
4. Manage operations and administration

developed in collaboration with the Executive Board, Advisory Board, and staff work group.
The work plan is organized into four goals with corresponding action items. Each action is identified by
priority as follows:
• Higher – Identified as higher priority by Executive Board or is necessary to carry out the Interlocal
Agreements
• Medium – Identified as mid-level priority
• Lower – Identified as lower priority
Quarterly budget and progress reports on the status of the work plan elements will be submitted to the
SKHHP Executive Board and the legislative body of each member jurisdiction as follows:
Quarter 1: May | Quarter 2: August | Quarter 3: November | Quarter 4: February
In accordance with the Interlocal Agreement, the 2025 SKHHP work plan and budget will be approved
by the SKHHP Executive Board and the legislative body of each member jurisdiction.

Background for Motion:
Background Summary:
Every five years, the City of Auburn is required to submit an updated Consolidated Plan to the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to guide the investment of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Auburn’s current Consolidated Plan ends in 2024,
with the next plan (2025-2029) due to HUD in November. This presentation is intended to
provide an overview of the upcoming 2025-2029 CDBG planning process, with information
for the Council on what to expect and how to provide input and feedback. This presentation
will describe the major components of the Consolidated Plan, Auburn's role within the King
County Consortium, and what will be coming in front of Council this year for review, input, and
approval.
We are at the beginning of the process and would like Council input at the
commencement of this process. (we will ask each of you for individual feedback during
this session)
We want Council feedback at the beginning of the process to ensure the development
of the plan addresses your concerns and unique challenges in Auburn.
We will also be seeking input from the Human Services Committee, the general public,
non-profit agencies, etc.
We are asking Councilmembers to help formulate the goals for the next 5 years and
priorities for how we spend CDBG funds.
Later in the year we will come back with a draft of the 5 year plan that incorporates all of
the feedback we have received.
