Budget Issues of Significance
• General Government Revenues
— Overall Growth — 6.9% over 2006 budget
• 2006 actual expected to be higher than budget by 4.35%
General Government Expenditures
— Retirement contribution
• 44.54% higher than 2006
• Projected to grow 44.24% more in 2008 (combined 108%)
• $ 1.8 million over two years
— Wages / benefits developed using financial system parameters
• 3% COLA, 10% health benefits
• Bottom line — Strong revenue growth provides a small
amount of funds available beyond retirement contribution

City of Renton
Annexation Strategy
Council/Administration Workshop
September 27, 2006
Purpose
• Review current status of potential
annexation areas (PAAs)
• "Big picture" focus on Renton in the
future: growth, funding, timing
• Initiate planning for annexation —
implementation and impact
Policy Direction to Date
• Growth Management Act (regional)
• Business Plan
— Manage growth through sound urban planning:
promote annexation where and when it is in
the best interest of Renton
• Comprehensive Plan
— "Actively pursue" thoughtful annexations of
the PAAs
• Discussion
What Does That Mean?
• Renton is glad to support citizens interested in
becoming part of the City and will welcome any area
with the desire to join Renton to start the petition
process.
— The City doesn't initiate annexations.
— The request — and the desire — to annex comes from area
residents seeking lower taxes, improved services and
accessible local government.
— City provides information and answers questions.
• The City will work with King County to leverage the
maximum funding available to annex.
• The City will negotiate with special purpose districts to
ensure continuity of services at Renton levels of
service after transition. �I)C> t - C,LCro95 44u_ topa,rG(
2
Reasons to Annex
• What Renton is and how we'll grow
— Communities with an affinity to Renton
— Room to grow
• Urban center concept
• PAA residents' current use of City services
• Quality of infrastructure
• Ability to influence & affect development
and quality of public services in PAAs
• Regional influence
• Funding opportunities
• Discussion

fiscal impact estimates for Fairwood only
