RE: City of Auburn Fiscal Sustainability Analysis I REVISED PROPOSAL
Dear Shelley and the Consultant Selection Panel:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a proposal to support the City of Auburn with a Fiscal Sustainability
Analysis. Based on our conversation, we have developed this preliminary scope and budget outlining our
approach to this work. We have refined our proposal based on your initial feedback of our proposed scope of
work.We have also included relevant staff and some recent project qualifications to highlight our experience
with this type of analysis.
BERK has enjoyed good working relationships with City of Auburn staff on a variety of past projects,including
the recent SCORE studies and support for the Comprehensive Plan Update. We understand that City staff has
a good understanding of the current financial situation and has already taken measures to limit expenditures.
We view our role as supporting staff in confirming and communicating the fiscal situation and analyzing options
appropriate to the magnitude of the challenge.
We look forward to discussing this proposal with you in more detail. In the interim,more information about our
firm, approach,team,and client satisfaction can be found on our website: www.berkconsultind,com.
Sincerely,
Alle,Itt der, Principal Emily Walton Percival, Project Manager

CITY OF AUBURN ' FISCAL SUSIAINABILIT:Y ANALYSIS
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Auburn has shared in the benefits of the recent growth in the Puget Sound region,
including rising employment,property values,and population—Auburn had the highest
population growth rate(tied with Redmond) at 3.1%in 2017'. Currently,the U.S.Census
Bureau estimates that 81,905 people reside in Auburn, a 16.7% growth in population from
2010.
Despite this growth,the City of Auburn is facing an uncertain financial future as the City's
expenses are beginning to out pace revenues. The structural factors underlying this future
are shared among cities in the Puget Sound region: resident demand for high-quality city
services, rising labor costs, and tax-limiting measures that constrain a city's flexibility in
generating revenues. For Auburn,this scenario is playing out with some major release valves
already exhausted:Auburn has used up its banked capacity and cannot generate property
tax revenue above its annual statutory maximum increase; and Auburn's staffing level is
already sized for efficient operations,having never regained pre-recession employment
levels even as the City's service population has swelled.
The City of Auburn recognizes its financial trajectory and in the 2019-2020 biennial budget
identified strategies to postpone reaching a financial tipping point, including avoiding
adding permanent staff positions, reconsidering replacing staff, limiting new programs,and
leveraging City technology and tools for enhanced productivity.There is a natural limit to
the"do more with less" strategy: Auburn expects a challenge in balancing the City's 2021-
2022 biennial budget and then, without structural, long-term adjustments,a budget cycle
wherein the City's available revenues cannot support its expenses.Carried forward,this
unsustainable operating paradigm could exhaust the City's reserves and in the worst case,
lead to bankruptcy.
The City is looking for a fiscal sustainability study to identify revenue enhancement measures
that are sized to meaningfully impact the City's financial future and surface opportunities to
change the services it governs, mode of service delivery, and level of service to reduce the
overall cost of services.

CITY OF AUBURN €ISCAL SUSTAINABILITY ANALYSIS
PROJECT APPROACH
TASK 1 : PROJECT KICK-OFF AND
ONGOING PROJECT MANAGEMENT
BERK staff will participate in a project kick-off with the City of Auburn's core project team.
During this meeting,we will discuss desired outcomes from the effort along with the relevant
context of this project, including any key political, legal,and administrative issues we should
be aware of.We will also review a detailed project schedule and discuss how we will
communicate and collaborate effectively through completion of the final deliverables and
presentation to Council.To achieve this,we propose five project team virtual meetings over
the course of the study as opportunities for BERK to share analysis,findings,and interim
products and garner project team feedback,questions,and direction. The kick-off meeting
can be an opportunity for scheduling these virtual meetings.
We will also use the kick-off meeting to discuss some key analytic questions for each task,
including:
• Does the City have a financial forecast that we should use for modeling or should we
develop our own model?
• What is the desired level of detail for budget scenarios? What is the best way to
engage with staff in developing strategies and scenarios?
• Does the City want to benchmark against comparison cities? If so,what are the criteria
for selection?
• Are there any options the City already knows it wants to focus on?
Deliverables
• Agenda for and attendance at in-person kick-off meeting at the City of Auburn.

TASK 2: DEVELOP FISCAL MODEL
BERK will build a fiscal model leveraging the City's current six-year financial forecast and
using historical financial,staffing, and operational data from the City.When considering
assumptions with which to project the City's financial condition, BERK will review and test the
City's internal assumptions used in the six-year financial forecast.As part of this task we will:
■ Compare forecasts under several projection methodologies:City assumptions,average
per capita growth,and changes in per capita revenue growth and expenditures.
• Collaborate with the project team to identify current or expected departmental trends in
staffing,operations,service delivery,and costs.
• Develop the fiscal model to respond to a range of possible assumptions or trends,
including:
— Growth of revenues and expenditures.
— Population growth and rate of change.
— Recessionary periods and accompanying declines in revenues.
The fiscal model will project the City's financial condition to the 10-year timeframe under
any permutation of inputs. During the project team's first virtual meeting, BERK will present
a selection of fiscal scenarios and material on the structural factors affecting the financial
health of Washington cities,with analysis on the strengths and vulnerabilities of financial tools
available to cities, including the financial tools used by the City of Auburn. BERK will select
fiscal scenarios that underscore the impact of these structural factors on financial health,
ability to continue to provide current service levels and meet future demand for service,and
stability during an economic downturn.
Deliverables
• Project Team Virtual Meeting 1,including slide deck materials sent in advance with a
summary of the fiscal model,illustrative fiscal scenarios, and analysis of major financial
factors.

TASK 3 : BENCHMARK KEY REVENUE
SOURCES AND LEVELS
In collaboration with the project team,we will select up to 10 comparison cities against
which to measure Auburn's relative level and mix of revenue generation.This benchmarking
analysis will be iterative based on findings from Task 2 and project team guidance,with a
focus on benchmarking revenue mechanisms,such as levy lid lifts and business and occupation
tax (B&O),that are available to the City. BERK will use benchmarked revenue options to
determine the viability of options given Auburn's context, revenue mix, and existing taxing
levels.The below metrics are a starting point to assess Auburn's current and potential Alternatively,BERK

off meeting.
This benchmarking will support analysis in future tasks (including assessing revenue
enhancement strategies in Task 4) and identify which revenue options the City may be under-
utilizing. For example,comparing B&O taxes and levels among comparison cities may show
that the City has room to enact a B&O tax while remaining an attractive business location in
the region.Conversely, it may reveal that the regional cities with whom Auburn competes for
business have not enacted a B&O tax, and doing so in Auburn may reduce the city's regional
competitiveness.
Benchmarking also captures,at a high level,how other cities manage the financial structural
constraints they share with Auburn, including the tradeoffs they make. For example,cities
may rely on regular levy lid lifts to support property tax revenues in the general fund and
minimize other voted measures to avoid resident fatigue.
Deliverables
• Project Team Virtual Meeting 2, including slide deck sent in advance with benchmarking
results and findings, including how the benchmarking results will guide next steps.

TASK 4: EVALUATE STRATEGIES
FOR REVENUE ENHANCEMENT
AND COST CONTAINMENT
The objective of this task is to identify strategies to increase revenues and/or reduce costs,
quantify their fiscal impacts, and evaluate each for equity (who pays and who benefits),
magnitude (size and timeframe of fiscal impact),and sustainability (administrative feasibility
and community support).
BERK will research and quantify service delivery alternatives and bring forward any under-
utilized revenue tools identified in Task 3. For voted revenue enhancement strategies, BERK
will use previous benchmarking and analysis to show success levels for voted options in
comparison cities and estimate feasibility and community support in the Auburn context.
When identifying strategies for cost containment, BERK will distinguish between the City's
discretionary and non-discretionary expenditures to identify where there may be elasticity
for change. For example,the City's labor costs are not currently identified as discretionary
—approved departmental FTE positions are filled in order to provide the level of service
Auburn has promised its residents. However,there may be opportunities to realign programs
and service delivery.To surface these opportunities,we will conduct interviews. We will plan
to speak with departmental staff,Council members,and any other stakeholders suggested
by the project team to hear their perspectives on existing options and to suggest their own.
This task will provide an opportunity to summarize the current financial situation and cost
containment measures already in place during our meetings with Council members to ensure
a common understanding and provide an opportunity to ask questions ahead of the final
project presentation.
Deliverables
■ Interview guide.
■ Project Team Virtual Meeting 3, including slide deck of strategies,fiscal impact,and
evaluation.

TASK 5 : PROVIDE BUDGET SCENARIOS
ADDRESSING FISCAL GAP
This task will leverage findings from earlier tasks, especially strategies reviewed and vetted
by the project team,for a set of three budget scenarios to be included in the fiscal model.
We will facilitate an in-person workshop to identify the mix of strategies the project team
would like to include in each budget scenario. As with the evaluation of the individual
strategies,we will work with the project team to select mixes that balance equity, magnitude,
and sustainability.
With budget scenarios developed,we will program the fiscal model to project the City's
general fund balance and identify strengths and weaknesses of each scenario.
Deliverables
• In-person workshop facilitation,including activities and materials.
TASK 6: SUMMARY MEMO AND
COUNCIL PRESENTATION
Our analysis,findings,and recommendations will be synthesized and organized into a
concise and readable memo oriented towards City staff and elected officials.All findings,
conclusions,and any recommendations will be fully supported by the work conducted in
tasks 1 through 5.We will submit a draft memo to City staff for one round of review with
consolidated comments and a phone call to discuss any changes if needed. The final report
will incorporate City staff feedback and will form the basis for a PowerPoint Presentation to
be delivered to the City Council.
Deliverables
• Draft and final summary memo.
■ PowerPoint presentation to City Council.
