Administrative Recommendation:
For review and discussion only.
Background Summary:
The purpose of the quarterly financial report is to summarize for the City Council the
general state of Citywide financial affairs and to highlight significant items or trends
that the City Council should be aware of. The following provides a high level summary
of the City's financial performance. Further details can be found within the attached
financial report.
The 4th Quarter status report is based on financial data available as of January 27,
2015 for the period ending December 31, 2014. Sales tax information represents
business activity that occurred through October 2014.
General Fund:
The General Fund is the City's largest fund and accounts for the majority of City
resources and services, other than those required by statute to be accounted for in
another fund.
In 2014, General Fund revenues totaled $58.8 million and exceeded budget by $2.7
million. This is due primarily to:
Increased revenues from sales tax collections. Retail sales tax collections for
the year exceeded budget by $843,000, or 6.5 %. In addition, the sales tax credit
for annexation and criminal justice sales tax revenues exceeded budget
expectations by $432,000 and $427,000 respectively.
Increased revenues from development services fees due to continued growth in
the local economy. Development services fees exceeded budget expectations
by $363,000.
DI.A AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINED Page 2 of 86
• Increased revenues from building permits, also due to continued growth in the
local economy. Building permits exceeded budget expectations by $337,000.
General Fund expenditures for the year totaled $55.2 million as compared with a
budget of $60.4 million. Overall departmental spending was $5.2 million — or 8.6%
under budget due to court and jailing costs ending the year lower than anticipated,
staff vacancies, underspending in contingency funds and continued vigilance in
monitoring general spending.
2014 General Fund expenditures were $0.4 million above 2013 expenditures of $54.8
million due primarily to an accounting change that occurred at the beginning of 2014,
whereby the Golf Course Fund was changed from an Enterprise Fund to the General
Fund. This change accounts for a $1.5 million increase in General Fund spending in
2014 compared to 2013.
Ending 2014 fund balances will not be finalized until approximately June 2015 pending
final year -end adjustments and certification by the State Auditor's Office. Once the
final ending 2014 fund balances are available, budgeted beginning 2015 fund
balances will be reconciled and adjusted accordingly.
In 2014, 5,811 pet licenses were sold resulting in $155,790 in revenue. For the same
period in 2013, 5,093 licenses were sold resulting in $154,475 in revenue.
Enterprise Funds:
The City's seven enterprise funds account for operations with revenues primarily
provided from user fees, charges or contracts for services.
At the end of 2014, the Water fund's net operating income increased to $1,757,300 as
compared to net income of $594,200 in 2013. The Sewer fund ended the year with
$181,500 net operating income as compared to an operating loss of $640,200 in
2013. The Sewer -Metro Utility ended 2014 with operating income of $273,900 as
compared to net operating income of $249,700 in 2013. Lastly, the Stormwater Utility
ended the year with operating income of $1,486,200 as compared to operating income
of $864,900 in 2013.
The Cemetery ended 2014 with net operating income of $2,900 as compared to
operating income of $44,900 in 2013. This difference is due primarily to water costs,
which were charged to the Cemetery Fund in 2014 but not in 2013 or before.
Internal Service Funds:
Internal Service Funds provide services to other City departments and include
functions such as Insurance, Worker's Compensation, Facilities, Innovation and
DI.A AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINED Page 3 of 86
Technology, and Equipment Rental. All funds had sufficient revenues to cover
expenditures in 2014.
Investment Portfolio:
The City's total cash and investments at the end of 2014 was $120.5 million, as
compared to $117.7 million at the end of 2013.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q4 2014
Overview
Thiz financial overview reFlects the City's overall financial position for the fiscal period ending
December 31. 2014 (period 12) and represents financial data available as of January 27. 2015.
General Fund revenues through December 2014 totaled $58.8 million and compares to 2013
collections of $53.7 and a 2014 budget of $56.1 million. Some highlights this year include:
• Tax revenues totaled $45.0 million and were $1.8 million above budget.
• Development services fees totaled $1.1 million and were $363,000 above budget, due
primarily to increased plan check revenue.
• Building permit revenue exceeds budget by $337,000 due to stronger than
anticipated development activity.
General Fund expenditures for the year totaled $55.2 million as compared to 2013 expenditures
of $54.8 million and a 2014 budget of $60.4 million. Due to an accounting change effective
January 1, 2014, all revenues and expenditures related to the Auburn Golf Course are now
reported in the Generel Fund. Therefore, it is important to recognize this shift when comparing
2014 performance to prior year performance. After normalizing 2013 to include Golf Course
expenditures of $1.5 million, the 2014 General fund expenditures decreased by $1.0 million, or
1.8% compared to the prior year. Overall departmental spending in 2014 is $5.2 million, or
8.6%, under budget due to staff vacancies, court costs and jailing costs lower than anticipated,
underspending in contingency funds, and continued vigilance in monitoring general spending.
Ending 2014 fund balances will not be finalized until approximately June 2015 pending final
year-end adjustments and certification by the State Auditor's Office. Once the final ending 2014
fund balances are available, budgeted beginning 2015 fund balances will be reconciled and
adjusted accordingly.

Charges for Services consist of general governmental servicez, public safety, development service
fees and cultural & recreation fees. Overall, charges for services exceeded budget by $453,000,
or 13.1%.
General governmental revenues through December exceeded budget by $19,000 due to timing
of payments from local jurisdictions that contract services through the City of Auburn, as well as
increased revenues for passport services.
Public safety revenues collected in 2014 totaled $480,000, which was $100,000 below budget.
However, aker adjusting period 13th accrual of Law Enforcement Services revenue of $78,000,
public safety revenues will end the year within 4.0% of budget. Public safety revenues consist of
revenues genereted for Police Officer extra duty overtime, where officers are contracted for
services and reimbursement is made by the hiring contractor. Effective June 2014, this revenue
also includes reimbursement from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT) for a full-time dedicated
Police Officer and associated expenditures. Effective in 2014, the expenditures for Police Officer
extra duty overtime are no longer netted against the revenues for this service. These are the two
contributing factors as to why collections in 2014 are significantly higher than what was collected
in 2013.
Development services fee collections, which primarily consist of plan check fees, totaled $1.1
million for the year and exceed budget by $363.000. Total plan check fees collected in 2014
totaled $833,000, compared to a budget of $585.000. Plan check revenues in 2014 included
various projects at Boeing, a commercial project on West Valley Hwy, the Green River College
Student Life Building and Wesley Homes. Some of the single family housing projects include
Edgeview. Kendall Ridge, Vista Pointe, and Sonata Hill.

$172.000 or 8.4%, reflecting increased ticket sales for Auburn Avenue Theatre as weil as
increased revenues from youth programs and summer camps. A significant factor in the year

whereby Golf Course revenues and expenditures are now reported within the General Fund.
Revenues in this category include golf lessons, pro shop sales, and greens feez.

Background Summary:
The City is in the process of updating the Comprehensive Sewer Plan in parallel with
the City's overall Comprehensive Plan. This plan is an update of the existing Sewer
Comprehensive Plan adopted in 2009. Its purpose is to guide the City with respect to
future activities and improvements for the Sanitary Sewer Utility. The final plan will
consist of one binder; containing the Executive Summary, Chapters 1 -9, appendices,
and a system map.
Prior to the meeting, staff will provide Councilmembers with a binder containing the
Executive Summary, Chapters 1 -9, and the system map. The appendices will only be
included in the final document, unless specific data is requested.
The purpose of this first discussion period is to present a brief overview of the
organization of the document and to highlight certain assumptions, conclusions, and
specific areas where staff would like Council feedback. Once councilmembers have
had an opportunity to review the plan following that meeting, staff will return at a later
date for further discussion, questions, and comments.
Staff will also be presenting the plan to the Planning Commission in April.
An electronic version of the Draft Comprehensive Sewer Plan can be found on the
City's website at

after the Lea Hill and West Hill annexations, and includes subsequent minor updates.
This year's update is proposed to complete minor policy revisions, map updates,
format revisions to improve readability, and incorporation of the updated land use,
population, and employment projections for the 2035 planning horizon year. This
update is being completed in -house with consultant modeling support.
Project Status
The initial modeling work to identify level -of- service deficiencies (based on the Council
adopted level -of service) to the street system is currently being analyzed. Potential
intersection and corridor projects that could help address any identified level -of-
service deficiencies will be analyzed and incorporated into the draft plan for Council
consideration. Staff will bring the draft list of recommendations to a future Council
Study Session once they are ready for review, feedback, and consideration.
Attached for Council's consideration a the March 23rd Study Session is the Policy
Chapter of the CTP with tracked changes and a summary list of the proposed policy
revisions for review and discussion.

such considera�ions into the planning and design of transportation projects,where
feasible.
Objective: Connectivity
To provide a highly interconnected network of streets and trails for ease and variety of travel.
5-2 TR-7 An efficient transportation system seeks ro spread vehide movements over a series ot
planned s�reets. The goal of the system is to encourage connectivity while preventing
unacceptably high[raffic volumes on any one sireet Ample altematives should exist to
accommodate access for emergency vehides. For these reasons the Ciry will wntinue
to plan a series ot collectors and arterials designed to national standards to provide
effcient service to the community
5-3 TR-8 Encourage the use of trails and other connections that provide ease of travel within and
between neighborhoods,communiry activiry centers,and transit services. Development
pattems that block direct pedestrian access are discouraged. Ample alternatives should
exist to accommodate non-motorized transportation on arterials,collectors, and bcal
roads.
Objective: Complete Streets
Ensure Aubum's transportation system is designed to enable comprehensive, integrated, safe access for users
of all ages and abilities including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists,transit riders and operators, and truck
o erators.

intersection or on a roadway segment.
b) An accelerated deterioration of the street pavement condition or fhe proposed
regular use of a stree[not designated as a Vuck route tor truck movemenis Ihat
can reasonably result in accelereted deteriora�ion of the street pavement.
c) An unacceptable impact on geometric design condilions at an intersection where
two truck routes meet on the City arterial and collecror network.
d) An increase in congestion which conslitutes an unacceptable adverse
environmenlal impact under the S[a[e Environmental Policy Act.
e) An increase in queuing that causes blocking of adjacent land uses or intersections
� A reduction in any of the four(4) LOS standards below.
1. Arterial and Collector Corridor LOS: The level-of-service standard for each
arterial and collector corridor is"D", unless otherwise specified in Chapter 2
of this plan. The City may require a development or redevelopmen[to
examine a shorter or longer corridor segment Ihan is specified in Chapter 2,
to ensure a projecYs total LOS impacts are evaluated.
2. Sianalized Intersection LOS: The level-of-service standard for signalized
intersections is"D", with the following exceptions;for signalized
intersections of two Arterial roads the level-of-service standard during[he

situations where s ecialized conditions exist that dis ro ortionatel im act AM traffic.
Objective:Concurrency
To ensure transportation tacilities do not fall below the adopted level-of-service standard, as required by the
Growth Management Act.
5-5 TR-23 Require developments to construct or finance transportation improvements and/or
implement sVategies that mitigate the impacts of new development concurrent with
within 6 ears of development, as required by the Growth Mana�ement Act.
5-5 TR-24 New developmen�that lowers a facility's level-of-service standard below ihe locally
adopted minimum standard shall be denied, as required by the Growth Management Act.
Sirategies that may allow a development to proceed include, but are not limited to:
• Reducing the scope of a project(e.g. platting fewer lots or building less square
too[age);
• Building or financing new Iransportation improvements concurrent with(wilhin 6
years o�development;
• Phasing/delaying a projecl;
• Requiring the development to incorporate Transportation Demand Management
slra�egies; or
• Lowerin level-of-service standards.
5-5 TR-25 The denial ot development in order to maintain concurrency may be grounds for deciaring
an emergency for ihe purpose of amending the Comprehensive Plan outside of lhe
annual amendment c cle.
5-6 TR-26 Evaluate city transportation facilities annually to determine compliance with the adopted
level-of-service standards and, as necessary,amend fhe Six-Year Transportation
Improvement Program(TIP)and Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) lo remedy identified
deficiencies.

streefs and sidewalks and construct new streets to the a ro riate standard.
5-6 TR-30 Improvements that serve new developments will be constructed as a part of the
developmen[process. All costs will be borne by the developer when ihe developmen[is
served by the proposed transportaUOn improvements. In some ins[ances,the Cfry may
choose to participate in ihis construc[ion if improvements serve more than adjacent
develo ments.
5-6 TR31 Revenues for street transportation improvements should primarily provide for the orderly
developmen[of ihe Ci[y's[ransportation system in compliance with the Comprehensive
Transportation Plan. The basic criterion for such funding should be the degree lo which
that project improves ihe overall transportation sys�em and not the benefit that might
accrue to individual properties. Where it is possible�o establish a direct relationship
between a needed improvement and a development, ihe development should be
expected to contribute to its construction.
5-6 TR-32 Encourage publidprivate partnerships for financing transportation projects that remedy
existin and aniici ated trans ortation problems, or that foster economic rowth.
5-6 TR-33 Aggressively seek and take advantage of federel, state, local, and private funding and

shall seek to improve the appearance of existing street corridors. Streets are recognized
as an important component ot the public spaces within the City and should include,
where appropriate, landscaping to enhance the appearance of city street corridors. The
standards should indude provisions for sireetscapin .
5-11 TR-75 The classification standards adopted in the Aubum Engineering Design Standards are
considered the City's minimum s�andards for new sireets. In cases in which Ihe Ciry
attempis to rebuild an existing street within an eslablished right-of-way, the City Council
reserves the authority to determine if additional right-of-way should be obtained in order
to realize Ihe improvement. Preservation of neighborhood continui[y and cohesiveness
will be res ecfed.
5-12 TR-76 The standards for residential streets may be modified in cross section to provide better
relationships between the different componeNS of ihe street including, but not limited to,
on-stree[parking, the landscape strip, and [he sidewalk.Among other objectives,this
may be done to balance the need to provide adequate parking and buffer pedeslrians
