OVERVIEW
This quarterly financial report reflects the city’s revenue and expenditures/expenses for the fiscal year through
December 31, 2025. A detailed analysis, including current to prior year and budget to actual comparison, is included
for each city fund. This report excludes the city’s fiduciary funds, as these funds are held on behalf of others and are
not available for city use. Budget figures shown reflect amounts authorized in ORD 6172, which includes the mid-
biennium and 3rd quarter budget adjustment approved November 3, 2025.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is used to account for resources that are not generally dedicated for a specific purpose. The General
Fund is used to meet the basic services that the city provides, including, but not limited to, police protection, parks and
recreation, human services, municipal court, street maintenance and planning, economic development, and
administrative functions. The table below displays the YTD revenues and expenditures for the General Fund, including

GENERAL FUND REVENUES
The following tables provide a more detailed summary of each revenue category within the General Fund. All variances
are shown in a favorable/(unfavorable) format.
TAXES
Taxes ended the year above budget approximately $3.6 million largely due to the larger than anticipated collections
relating to business taxes. Although some tax categories are lower than the prior year figure, a slight decrease in tax
collections was expected when setting the budget due to concerns over the economy.
Local Retail Sales Tax – The sales tax receipts rebounded in the second half of the year resulting in a net decrease of
.3% for the year. Retail sales, which account for 24% of the total taxes collected, are lagging prior year’s figures by
1.9%. New construction, which accounts for 13% of this tax category, typically fluctuates year over year, is lower
than prior year by 10%. These decreases were offset by a strong increase from the service industry and automobile
sales at 6.6% and 1.9% respectively over prior year which combined account for almost half of the overall tax
collections.
Utility Tax – The increase in utility tax is most notably from an increase in electricity utility tax at an increase of 16%
over prior year, although this category includes all utilities including city water utilities, garbage, cable and phone. The
increase in utility tax from electricity has been trending higher each year due to higher rates and customer usage.
Gambling Excise Tax –Current year revenue is trending lower than in prior year due to the closure of a large gambling
establishment in early 2025. Expected annual decrease due to this closure will be an overall reduction of $650K per
year, however because gambling tax can fluctuate so much based on the economy and overall consumer spend,
budget was established lower than previous years with expected economic downturn.
Business and Occupation (B&O) Tax – The B&O tax structure was changed several years ago with a tiered increase
annually for the maximum amount any one taxpayer would pay yearly. For 2025, the maximum tax cap was removed
and instead created a tiered rate of a 75% reduction for all taxes due over the $12M tax base. B&O tax revenues would
typically trend similar to retail sales tax, however with the good mix of both retail, service and manufacturing
businesses in the city, the B&O tax has continued to increase year over year at a steady pace. Another contributing
factor for taxes higher than projected is due to ongoing tax audits which account for over $1M in current year tax
revenues.

LICENSES & PERMITS
Business Licenses – The increased outreach by the city and ongoing efforts to identify and contact unregistered
businesses has been the catalyst for the increase in business licenses. The number of registered businesses increased
approximately 10% through our ongoing outreach.
Building Permits – Building permits are collected upon permit issuance. The increase from prior year is related to
several permits issued for large projects such as Winco Foods, Tesla Collision Center and Hazen High School. Permits
had seen a decrease in 2023 with a steady recovery the past few years. As the interest rates continue to go down, the
expectation is for the investment in housing and construction sectors to grow.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL
State Shared Revenue – State shared revenue is comprised on various taxes collected by the state and then passed
onto the city. Below is a summary of the individual taxes received. This year, the city received additional taxes for
criminal justice which is distributed to certain cities with increased crime rates and population. The other notable
trends are the fuel tax continues to trend lower each year as more electric cars on the road not contributing to this tax,
the state shared distribution of marijuana and liquor taxes have also decreased from prior year figures as marijuana
sales have continued to decline since 2021 and the liquor tax had a mid-year adjustment by the state to correct a prior
distribution.
Federal/State/Local Grants – Federal/State/Local grant revenue varies significantly from year-to-year based on
volume of grant awards procured, timing of grant expenditures, and reimbursement of related expenditures. Grant
revenue is budgeted at 100% of award at the time the grant agreement is executed, sometimes resulting in a budget
variance due to reimbursement of grant expenditures occurring in a future year. Any grant revenue not received in award
year is carried forward each year until the grant funds are fully received or the grant agreement expires. The variance
from prior year is largely due to recognizing the remaining ARPA grant funds of $2.6M in Q1 of 2024.

CHARGES FOR SERVICES
Court Services – The decline in revenues for court services are largely due to a change in accounting for when revenue
is recognized on funds received for bail bonds. Bonds are recognized as revenue when the court orders bail or bond to
be forfeited instead of when paid.
Public Safety Services – The higher-than-budgeted revenue in public safety services is primarily attributable to a one
time increase for private security services at a local business. This agreement is not expected to be ongoing.
Development Services –The increase over budget is due to building and construction plan review and approval fees
for projects taking place in the city by external companies. These fees like building permits have increased over the
past several years after a sharp decline in 2023, signalling recovering in the construction sectors. The overall change
from the prior year figure is due to a large project for Alaska Airlines that accounted for approximately $250K for the
overall revenues in this category. Revenue is overall above budget and consistent with prior year figures.
FINES AND PENALTIES
Photo Enforcement Program – The number of infractions issued for school zone infractions and red light cameras has
decreased approximately 20% in comparison to prior year and has decreased steadily each year since 2021. The
largest decreases of infractions issued are from red light cameras at Puget Drive, Talbot, Park Ave and Logan Ave.
Non-Court Fines, Forfeitures and Penalties – Approximately $275K relates to fines and penalties on past due
business and occupation taxes. Prior year figures are higher by $200K as these figures include a settlement of a large
tax appeal and fines for several years of shopping cart violations from one retailer.

Interest and Other Investment Earnings – Investment earnings are highly influenced by the federal funds rate as a
large amount of the city’s investments are maintained within the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP). The LGIP
maintains a high level of liquidity and will closely track with the federal funds rate as it decreases or increases; the city
holds roughly 54% of the total cash and investments for the city in the LGIP. The budget anticipated several decreases
in interest rates however the federal fund rates continue to be higher than anticipated.
Other – This category includes funds received for opioid settlements. Most of the opioid settlements are to be received
over time however in 2024 there were two substantial opioid settlements in which the full settlement was paid at once;
these settlements are one time funding and would not be expected to continue into future years.
OTHER FINANCING SOURCES
GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES
The following table summarizes expenditures by category for each department within the General Fund.
Personnel – Personnel costs are budgeted at 100% of the position cost each year, resulting in a budget variance if
positions remain open for any part of the year. The increase in personnel costs over prior year is due to the restructuring
of the communications staff costs which were previously reported as an internal service fund and are now reported in
the general fund. 2025 figures also include newly approved positions, and cost-of-living adjustments. Personnel costs
under budget are due to open positions; approximately 8% of budgeted positions currently vacant.
Contracted Services - These costs are typically cyclical in nature and/or are related large projects or projects funded
by grants where the timing of costs may vary. A large amount of the unspent budget relates to reserves and legal
services for ongoing litigation support.
Transfers Out - This category relates to transfers from the general fund into other funds. The increase in transfers in
the current year relates to a large transfer to the municipal facilities capital fund to purchase the new parks property
by the community center and the purchase of the land for the parks maintenance facility and resource center. This
purchase is expected to be completed in 2026.

excise tax (REET) levied in accordance with RCW 82.46.010 and RCW 82.46.035. The tax may be used for eligible capital
projects, as defined in RCW.82.46.010(6) or RCW.82.46.035(5), that are included in the capital facilities element of the
city’s comprehensive plan. REET tax revenues are held in the respective fund and subsequently transferred to the
appropriate capital project fund when qualifying projects are budgeted.
REET 1 and REET 2 Taxes – The decrease in taxes from prior year are due to a decrease in real estate transactions as
real estate sales slowed with the higher cost to borrow money as well as the prior year included a large sale of a hotel
and conference center that occurred in 2024 ($180K).

ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private
business enterprises. YTD budgets are not prepared for Enterprise Funds. Detailed explanations will be provided for
material annual budget differences at year-end. Most Enterprise Funds maintain two separate “management funds”,
an operating fund and a capital fund. The funds are consolidated for budget/reporting purposes. Operating budgets
lapse at the end of the year. Project budgets are adopted when funding is secured, and balances are carried forward
each year until they are either 1) fully spent or 2) reallocated to another project through the budget adjustment process.
Airport Fund: This fund accounts for revenues and expenses for administration, debt service, operation, capital
improvements, and maintenance of the Renton Municipal Airport.
Grants/Intergovernmental – Federal/State/Local grant revenue is budgeted at 100% of award at the time the grant
agreement is executed. The current year budget includes $17.6M in federal grants for the Taxiway Alpha
Rehabilitation project.
Capital Outlay – The largest planned capital project for the airport is the rehabilitation of the Taxiway Alpha at over
$21M. This project is in the planning phase.
Contracted Services & Supplies – Current year costs include professional services for repairs and maintenance to
old buildings and repairing flood damage. Although these costs are included in contracted services, the budget for
these large projects are included in the capital outlay line item. There is sufficient budget for these projects.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
Internal service funds are used to account for the goods and services furnished by one city department to other city
departments on a cost reimbursement basis. YTD budgets are not prepared for Internal Service Funds. Detailed
explanations will be provided for material annual budget differences at year-end.
Equipment Rental Fund
This fund accounts for revenues and expenses for administration, purchase, and maintenance of the city’s vehicle and
equipment fleet services. Departments pay in monthly amounts for maintenance and operations. Replacement
reserves are paid monthly over the estimated useful lives of each individual vehicle or piece of equipment. These
reserves are accumulated in fund balance so that they are available to fund the replacement of the vehicle/equipment
when the time comes.
Capital Outlay – Vehicles purchased from manufacturers or dealerships are paid upon receipt of the vehicle. These
replacements were included in the replacement schedule of vehicles based on age, mileage and condition. It has been
increasingly difficult to purchase replacement vehicles, with many vehicles awaiting replacement as inventory comes
available.

Insurance Fund
This fund accounts for the administration and operation of the city’s self-insurance programs for property losses,
liability, workers’ compensation, and unemployment compensation. Expenses are paid by the Insurance Fund and
rates are charged to departments based on their claims history over the preceding five years and coverage
requirements.
Contracted Services – Insurance premiums and insurance settlements continue to be the main driver for the increase
in this category. Insurance premiums increased 20% over prior year rates. This increase is consistent with industry
trends. This category also includes payment for an insurance settlement on an outstanding lawsuit from 2020. The
settlement was paid in September, and the mid-biennial budget adjustment includes the council approved settlement
amount of $1.5M.
Transfers – An increase to the risk reserve based on updated industry recommendation is to have a reserve of at least
2 months reserve on hand or 17% of the general fund expenditures. Our city reserve should be closer to 20% as we are
self-insured and have a high risk of natural disasters such as earthquake and flooding. Current year transfers increased
to slowly build up the reserve over the next several years to get closer to the industry recommended amount of 17% of
the general fund costs with an ultimate goal of 20%.

Facilities Fund
This fund accounts for the administration, maintenance, and operation of city-owned facilities. Expenses are paid by
the Facilities Fund and rates are charged to departments based on square footage and work orders.
Supplies – Supplies are currently trending higher than budget as the cost of supplies have increased more than the
inflationary adjustments on the budget as well as some large furniture replacements. Budget adjustment for inflation
will be necessary to account for the increased costs in 2026 along with ongoing planned replacements.
Contracted Services – This category includes the added cost for parks restroom cleaning. As part of the biennial
budget process, the city decided to devote additional budget to contract with a cleaning agency to help maintain the
parks bathrooms. This contract is almost $400K per year.

Health Insurance Fund
This fund accounts for the city’s self-insured health insurance program. Expenses/claims are paid by the Health
Insurance Fund and rates are charged to employees and departments based on annual premiums determined by the
city’s Employee Health Plan Board for each type of coverage elected by the employee; paid semi-monthly in
conjunction with each payroll.
Premiums – Premiums are budgeted for all positions as if they were filled at 100%, with many open positions to date,
this amount is expected to trend below budget.
Medical/Dental Claims – As a self-insured healthcare plan, costs incurred will vary year to year based on actual
medical costs and health of the insured population. Industry standard expects an increase of 7% year to year
whereas the city’s average increase is typically much better at approximately 3%, the last two years have seen costs
higher than industry standard at 8.9% and 17.7% for 2024 and 2025 respectively.

Retiree Healthcare Fund
This fund accounts for the city’s self-insured health insurance program for LEOFF1 retirees. Benefits include medical,
prescription drug, Medicare Part B premiums, long-term care, and vision coverage for retired law enforcement officers
and firefighters that were employed by the city prior to October 1, 1977. Dependent spouses and children are not
covered. 100% of premiums are provided by the General Fund with annual contributions determined after review of a
report prepared by actuaries.
Premiums – Premiums include a transfer from the general fund to cover the expected costs. Currently with interest
income much higher than expected, transfers are not needed to fund expected costs.
Medical/Dental Claims – Medical costs continue to increase at an exponential rate. This plan also covers long term
care costs, which continue to increase year over year as more covered retirees have required long term care.
