Expiration of Existing Temporary and Portable Sign

Attachments:
Ordinance No. 6501
Budget Impact:
$0
Administrative Recommendation:
Discuss the March 16, 2016 expiration of the existing temporary and portable sign
allowances under City of Auburn Ordinance No. 6501
Background Summary:
Chapter 18.56 – Signs of Auburn City Code (ACC) contains regulations and standards
for the use of different types of signage on private properties and publicly owned land
within the municipal limits of the City of Auburn. In the spring/summer of 2009, the
Mayor’s Office and the Department of Community Development and Public Works
received requests from local businesses for increased allowances for portable and
temporary signs to help stimulate local business activities during the significant
economic downturn.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on August 25, 2009 and
following deliberation, recommended to the City Council authorization of the use of
portable and temporary signs in certain zoning districts for a one year time period with
the possibility of up to two six-month extensions, should economic conditions warrant.
City Council approved Ordinance No. 6263 on September 8, 2009 authorizing
portable and temporary signs in certain specified zoning districts of the City of Auburn
until September 16, 2010, unless this timeframe was extended by future Council
action. The Council approved this Ordinance due in part to the determination that it
was in the public interest, given the economic conditions and challenges for local
businesses.
Following Council approval of Ordinance No. 6263, staff notified interested parties and
developed no-fee permit forms to register the location of portable and temporary signs
on private property and in the public right-of-way.
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.B Page 3 of 89
City Council approved Ordinance No. 6327 on September 7, 2010 extending the
timeframe for the use of portable and temporary signs on private property and in the
public right-of-way thru March 15, 2011. Subsequent discussion and recommendation
by the Planning and Community Development Committee in February 2011, City
Council approved Ordinance No. 6353 on March 7, 2011, once again extending the
timeframe for the use of portable and temporary signs, thru March 15, 2012.
After discussion and recommendation by the Planning and Community Development
Committee in February 2012, City Council approved Ordinance No. 6403 on February
21, 2012 further extending the timeframe for the use of portable and temporary signs,
thru March 15, 2014.
On February 2014, City Council approved Ordinance No. 6501 further extending the
timeframe for the use of portable and temporary signs, thru March 15, 2016. The
ordinance in effect provides for a “sun setting” of the temporary sign program after
which the signs are no longer allowed and must be removed. This “sun setting” is now
approaching, once again.
In short, the program consists of registering the portable sign that conforms to the
program parameters by providing contact information, a diagram of the sign and a site
plan indicating location and signing a certification that the Applicant understands the
program is temporary and that the program has a defined end period after which the
temporary sign must be removed, unless the program is extended. Staff has
continued to encounter no major problems or issues in the administration of this
temporary sign program.
Discussion:
With the imminent expiration of the temporary sign program (ACC Sections 18.56.010,
-020, and -030) on March 15, 2016; there appear to be three options, as follows:
1. Option #1 - Draft and adopt a new ordinance extending the program for two
years as the change in economic conditions is still slow and still progressing.
2. Option #2 - Draft and adopt a new ordinance extending the program until other
changes are made to the sign code section of the zoning ordinance. Staff anticipates
making changes to the sign code as part future zoning code update in 2016.
3. Option #3 - Take no action and allow the temporary sign program provisions to
expire.

Questions:
To provide Staff direction on preparation of a draft ordinance, Staff would like to
discuss with the City Council its regular study session on February 22, 2016, the
following questions:
1. Does the City Council want to another extension of the current allowance for
the use of portable and temporary signs on private property and in the public right-of-
way?
2. Staff recommends that the temporary allowances be extended for a two-year
period in light of current economic circumstances and to show continued support for
local businesses. Does the City council concur?

$0
Administrative Recommendation:
For discussion only.
Background Summary:
In June 2015, Staff presented a discussion of the status of capital projects being
managed by the Engineering Division of the Community Development and Public
Works Department. During the discussion a new Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) based tool was demonstrated that would allow capital projects information to be
conveyed graphically using a map interface.
Engineering and IT staff have worked together to further develop the new GIS tool and
will be presenting it during this discussion. The capital project information that is
typically provided to the City Council on a monthly basis via the Capital Project Status
(CPS) matrix is now being stored and updated using GIS. Staff has developed a
reporting tool that creates a report that is similar to the CPS matrix and will continue to
provide the report to the Council on a monthly basis. The latest version of the new GIS
generated report is included in the agenda packet for discussion during this study
session.
Staff plans to post the GIS based capital project map tool on the City’s website for
public use. This will allow the public to identify projects on a map and then, with a
couple mouse clicks, obtain additional information including the project manager’s and
inspector’s contact information.

4th Quarter 2015 Financial Report (10 Minute
Presentation/5 Minute Q&A)
Date:
February 17, 2016
Department:
Finance
Attachments:
4th Quarter Financial Reports
Budget Impact:
$0
Administrative Recommendation:
For 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 fourth quarter status report is based on financial data available as of February 4,
2016 for the period ending December 31, 2015. Sales tax information represents
business activity that occurred through October 2015.
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 2015, General Fund revenues totaled $61.0 million compared to a budget of $58.9
million and were $2.2 million higher than the revenues collected in 2014. Notable
variances to budget in 2015 include:
•General Fund sales tax revenues totaled $14.6 million and exceeded budget by
6.7% or $911,000. In addition, sales tax credit for annexation and criminal
justice sales tax revenues exceeded budget expectations by $133,000 and
$227,000 respectively.
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.D Page 47 of 89
•Collections in electric tax and natural gas tax revenues ended the year under
budget by $204,000 and $150,000 respectively due primarily to a mild winter
which reduced customer demand for heating. This unfavorable variance was
somewhat offset by favorable variances in City utility tax collections.
•Development services fees totaled $1.4 million and exceeded budget by
$720,000. Of this, $575,000 of this was attributable to the fact that plan check
revenues far exceeded budget expectations. Both The Villas (Senior Living
Community) and the Promenade Apartment project contributed to these higher
than usual collections.
General Fund expenditures through December totaled $61.1 million as compared with
a budget of $65.1 million. This represents a 6.1% year-end underspend compared to
budget. All departments operated within their allocated budgets in 2015.
Ending 2015 fund balances will not be finalized until approximately June 2016 pending
final year-end adjustments and certification by the State Auditor’s Office. Once the
final ending 2015 fund balances are available, budgeted beginning 2016 fund
balances will be reconciled and adjusted accordingly.
In 2015, 5,112 pet licenses were sold resulting in $147,152 in revenue. For the same
period in 2014, 5,811 licenses were sold resulting in $155,790 in revenue.
Street Funds:
The City’s three street funds are special revenue funds where the revenue sources
and expenditures are legally restricted. These funds are used for street capital
construction projects, local street repair and arterial street repair and preservation
projects. In 2015, Arterial Street fund revenues collected totaled $4.7 million as
compared to collections of $3.5 million in 2014; expenditures totaled $6.9 million as
compared to $3.8 million spent last year. Local Street fund revenues exceeded budget
expectations by $698,000, or 39.8%, due to higher than anticipated sales tax
revenues from local construction projects; expenditures were under budget by
$957,000, or 28.4%. Lastly, Arterial Street Preservation fund revenues totaled $2.7
million as compared to a budget of $2.9 million, while expenditures totaled $4.0
million.
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 2015, the Water fund had net operating income of $1,076,100 compared
to operating income of $1,757,300 at the end of 2014. The Sewer fund ended the year
with net income of $109,300 compared to income of $181,500 in the previous year.
The Sewer-Metro Utility ended 2015 with operating income of $186,800 as compared
AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINEDDI.D Page 48 of 89
to operating income of $273,900 in 2014. Lastly, the Stormwater Utility ended the
year with operating income of $1,316,800 compared to operating income of
$1,486,200 at the end of 2014.
The Cemetery ended 2015 with net operating income of $19,600 compared to
operating income of $2,900 in 2014.
Internal Service Funds:
Internal Service Funds provide services to other City departments and include
functions such as Insurance, Worker’s Compensation, Facilities, Innovation and
Technology, and Equipment Rental. All funds have sufficient revenues to cover year-
end expenditures.
Investment Portfolio:
The City’s total cash and investments at the end of the year was $115.1 million, and
compares to $115.7 million at the end of Q3-2015.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q4-2015
Overview
This financial overview reflects the City’s overall financial position for the fiscal period ending
December 31, 2015 (period 12) and represents financial data available as of February 4, 2016.
In 2015, General Fund revenues totaled $61.0 million compared to a budget of $58.9 million,
and were $2.2 million higher than the revenues collected during in 2014. Some notable
variances to budget this year include:
• General Fund sales tax revenues totaled $14.6 million, exceeding budget by 6.7% or
$911,000, and exceeding 2014 collections by $682,000. The areas of significant
increase in sales activity compared to 2014 were primarily seen in the construction
and automotive sales categories.
• The other taxes category ended the year $254,000, or 2.2%, lower than anticipated.
Collections in electric and natural gas tax revenues in 2015 were under budget by
$204,000 and $150,000, respectively, due primarily to a mild winter which reduced
customer demand for heating. Telephone tax revenues were also $150,000 below
budget. The underperformance in these revenues was somewhat offset by favorable
variances in City utility tax collections.
• Development services fees in 2015 totaled $1.4 million and exceeded budget by
$720,000. The increased revenues were predominately attributable to plan check
and public facility extension revenues, which surpassed budget expectations by
$575,000 and $101,000 respectively. There were two large projects in 2015 that
contributed to the favorability of plan check revenues: The Villas (Senior Living
Community) and the Promenade Apartment project.
• Culture and recreation revenues exceeded budget by $259,000, and exceeded 2014
collections by $98,000. The year-over-year increase was primarily due increased
revenues collected at the Auburn Golf Course for greens fees. Green fee revenue
collected in 2015 exceeded 2014 revenues collected by $118,000, which represents an
11.4% increase. The year-over-year increase was attributable to many factors,
including good weather during the main golf season.
• Other revenues ended the year $64,000, or 4.7% unfavorable to budget. This was
partially due to Transfer-In revenues having ended the year $463,000 below budget.
Transfer-In revenue is revenue that is transferred from one City fund to another City
fund. In this case, two separate transfers did not occur in 2015. The larger of the two
– a $350,000 transfer from the Innovation & Technology Fund – will be carried
forward into 2016 to fund technology improvements in the Community and
Youth/Teen Center. This variance was somewhat offset by higher than anticipated
revenues from City facility rental income.
Ending 2015 fund balances will not be finalized until approximately June 2016 pending final
year-end adjustments and certification by the State Auditor’s Office. Once the final ending 2015
fund balances are available, budgeted beginning 2016 fund balances will be reconciled and
adjusted accordingly.

Quarterly Financial Report Through Q4-2015
General Fund expenditures in 2015 totaled $61.1 million as compared to a budget of $65.1
million, representing 6.1% less than budget. All departments operated within their allocated
budget in 2015. Major savings were experienced in salaries and wages ($294,000) primarily due
to vacancies and reduced overtime costs; healthcare and other benefits ($780,000); and services
($2,025,000) due mainly to underexpenditures in professional service contracts, utilities,
contingency budget, and other miscellaneous expenses.
General Fund expenditures In were $5.9 million, or 10.6%, higher than 2014. The increase in
year-over-year expenditures was attributable to several factors including a $2.8 million transfer to
the Cumulative Reserve Fund to replenish prior withdrawals. Salary and benefit costs increased
year-over-year by $1.5 million, or 4.7%, due to several factors including increased number of
Council-approved positions in 2015, increased costs associated with healthcare and pensions, and
overall lower departmental vacancies compared to 2014. In addition, interfund charges in 2015
were $1.2 million, or 17.4%, higher than in 2014. This was seen primarily in interfund
Equipment Rental charges due to increased operating, capital construction, and replacement costs
and in the interfund Facilities charges due to repair and maintenance projects that were
completed on several City buildings. Lastly, the cost of providing 911 services in 2015 increased
$530,000 compared to 2014.

approximately 80% of all resources supporting general governmental activities. The following
section provides additional information on these sources.
Property Tax collections in 2015 totaled $17.2 million and met budget expectations. The 2015
collection exceeded collections in 2014 by $1.4 million, or 8.8%. The majority of property tax
revenues are collected during the months of April and October, coinciding with the due dates for
the County property tax billings.

Utility Taxes consist of interfund taxes on City utilities (Water, Sewer, Storm and Solid Waste)
and taxes on external utilities (Electric, Natural Gas, Telephone and Solid Waste). Utility taxes
collected in 2015 totaled $9.7 million compared to a budget of $10.0 million.
As shown in the table below, overall utility tax revenues collected in 2015 were $303,000, or
3.0%, below budget. A favorable variance in City interfund utility tax revenues partially offset
lower than expected collections from private utility providers, specifically in the Electric, Natural
Gas and the Telecommunications industries.

Licenses and Permits include business licenses, building permits, plumbing, electric and other
licenses and permit fees. Building permit fees and business licenses make up about 70% of the
annual budgeted revenue in this category.
Building permit revenues collected in 2015 totaled $1.2 million, compared to 2014 collections of
$1.5 million and a 2015 budget of $1.1 million. 2015 building permit activity included permitting
for several large commercial projects including several projects at Boeing, the Green River
Community College off-campus aviation building, Lakeland Hills Storage, and the Merrill Gardens
Senior Living complex. In addition, numerous housing developments were permitted in 2015 –
most notably Edgeview, Lakeland Hill Estates, and Mountain View North and South. Of the $1.2
million in building permit revenues collected in 2015, 33.4% was attributable to commercial
projects in the City, and the remaining 66.6% was predominately single family housing permits.
The total number of building permits issued in 2015 was 747 and compares to 846 issued in
2014.

Business license revenues collected in 2015 totaled $282,000 compared to a budget of $219,000;
these revenues exceeded budget by $63,000 largely due to timing of collections. The graphic
below reflects the timing of payments by business owners, where the majority of business license
payments are typically collected during the first two months of the year and the last month of
the year.

Intergovernmental revenues include Grants (Direct & Indirect Federal, State and Local), compact
revenue from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT), intergovernmental and state shared revenues.
Collections in 2015 totaled $5.3 million and ended the year $140,000, or 2.6%, under budget.
Favorable variances in Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax revenue and Liquor Excise revenues partially offset
the reduced revenues received in Federal, State and Interlocal grant monies. In 2015, grant
revenues were $308,000 under budget although this does not include Period 13 accruals that will
account for the 2015 revenues to be collected for reimbursable services. The Federal COPS grant
will end the year $58,000 under budget due to the timing of the hire dates of the two COPS
Grant Officers.
Effective during the state’s 2016 fiscal year budget cycle, the City of Auburn does not qualify for
Criminal Justice High Crime revenues because the City’s crime rate for the last reporting period
did not exceed the statewide average. Therefore, the City of Auburn will not receive these
distributions for reporting periods Q3-2015 through Q2-2016. The fiscal impact to the City of
Auburn in 2015 was an estimated reduction in General Fund revenues in the amount of $96,000.

Charges for Services consist of general governmental services, public safety, development service
fees and cultural & recreation fees. Overall, charges for services collected in 2015 totaled $4.3
million compared to a budget of $3.3 million. Total revenues collected in 2015 exceed budget
by $926,000, or 27.7%.
General governmental revenues in 2015 totaled $79,000 compared to a budget of $97,000.
The underperformance to budget was due to the fact that the City no longer provides services to
the City of Algona; therefore the City did not receive reimbursement for services.
Public safety revenues collected in 2015 totaled $479,000, compared to budget of $515,000.
Public safety revenues consist of revenues generated for Police Officer extra duty overtime, where
officers are contracted for services and reimbursement is made by the hiring contractor. Effective
June 2014, public safety revenue also includes reimbursement from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe
(MIT) for a full-time dedicated Police Officer and associated expenditures. Public safety revenues
in 2015 were lower than anticipated primarily due to the fact that extra duty billable hours in
2015 were reduced by 28.1% compared to 2014.
Development services fee collections, which primarily consist of plan check fees, totaled $1.4
million for the year and exceeded budget by $720,000. Total plan check fees collected in 2015
totaled $1.1 million, compared to a budget of $550,000 and 2014 collections of $833,000. Plan
check revenues in 2015 included revenues from several commercial projects including The Villas
(Senior Living Community), the Promenade Apartment project, and the optical manufacturing
project at Costco. Some of the single family housing projects included Edgeview, Sonata Hill,
and Mountain View north and south. Of the $1.1 million in plan check revenues collected in
2015, 61.3% was attributable to commercial projects in the City and the remaining 38.7% was
predominately single family housing projects.

Culture and recreation revenues collected in 2015 totaled $2.3 million and exceeded budget by
$259,000, or 12.6%, and exceeded 2014 actuals of $2.2 million. The majority of this favorable
variance to budget was due to increased revenues collected at the Auburn Golf Course for greens
fees. Green fees revenues collected in 2015 were $106,000 above budget expectations. This
favorable variance to budget was a combination of increased participation, which is the
culmination of factors including good weather, vigilant marketing efforts, as well as increased
business to the Auburn Golf Course due to other area golf courses having gone out of business.
In addition, revenue generated by the Auburn Avenue Theatre for ticket sales exceeded
expectations by $28,000, or 27.9%, which was a result of the addition of the Auburn
Community Teen Players and several fall productions that nearly sold out.

Fines & Penalties include traffic and parking infraction penalties, criminal fines (including criminal

$788,000 and prior year collections of $1.2 million. Effective June 2014, the Redflex Photo
Enforcement Program was cancelled, which is the contributing factor for the significant year-over-

Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) revenue is receipted into the Capital Improvement Projects Fund
and is used for governmental capital projects. REET revenues collected in 2015 totaled $4.6
million and exceeded budget and prior year actuals by $1.6 million and $2.1 million respectively.
Real estate sales in the City of Auburn in Q4-2015 included the sale of several commercial and

allocated monthly to other City funds over the course of 2015. As a result, this balance will
gradually diminish each month throughout the year.
No significant variances are reported in the Worker’s Compensation, Facilities, Innovation &
Technology, or Equipment Rental Funds. All funds have sufficient revenues to cover year-to-date
expenditures.
