2010 Revenue Outlook
Regional economy reaches bottom in 3rd quarter 2009.
Renton employment is projected to decline by 2.2% in 2olo after
3% drop in 2009. Growth is not anticipated until 2011.
• Local Sales Tax to drop by another 0.5% from revised 2009 level
due to weak employment and construction.
Property Tax is expected to grow by 1% (net of 1% allowed
growth, 0.5% new construction offset by 0.5% delayed collection
from substantially higher level of refunds/appeals).
REET, Admissions Tax, and miscellaneous revenues to remain at
2009 levels.
Revenue growth expected to be weak in 2011.
Overall: A f 1at General Fund revenue in 2010.
of ,

2010 Expenditures
o Very low inflation or potentially deflation in 2009.
• Lower PERS pension contribution rate (temporary).
o Early indicator of medical benefit cost increase:10% -14%
(-ri%-1.5% of our operating budget)
Mid-2oo9 expenditure reductions are mostly "i-time"
meaning need to identify savings/reductions in 2010
budget.
"Across the board" reduction does not address services
priorities.
Structural change needed for sustainable services.

A New Business Model
"The wrong way forward in a structural break during
hard times is to try more of the same. The break and
hard times are sure indications that an old pattern has
already been pushed to its limits and is destroying
value. In ordinary hard times, the traditional moves
are reducing fixed costs, scope and variety. But in hard
times accompanied by structural breaks, you must
rethink the way you manage."

Purchasing Strategies
We are seeking program specific offers that will contribute to Renton achieving the desired results and which
address the following strategies as they relate to specific outcomes. Interdepartmental programs that foster
partnership and collaboration will receive additional rating points in the evaluation process.
Purchasing Strategy 1.: We are seeking proposals that provide for the development of a linked network of
regional, community, and neighborhood streets, sidewalks, trails, and airport that connect to public and major
facilities in a coordinated, safe, and accessible manner. Specifically, proposals should:
• Meet basic core needs for business, personal travel, movement of goods, and recreation;
• Meet the growth needs of the community;
• Integrate the city's mobility network with that of the region;
• Fill gaps in the existing infrastructure;
• Maintain high level of quality assurance in providing new facilities;
• Support the city's business plan.
Purchasing Strategy 2. We are seeking proposals that provide well -maintained mobility infrastructure (streets,
sidewalks, trails, transit, and airport). Specifically, proposals should:
• Consider life -cycle costs;
• Minimize disruptions to existing system use;
• Maintain the infra -structure
• Reduce unsafe conditions;
Purchasing Strategy 3. Optimal and safe utilization of a mobility network (streets, sidewalks, trails, transit, and
airport). Specifically, proposals should:
• Optimize the utilization of the existing network;
• Account for aesthetic s and the environment
• Maximize safety without the use of enforcement;
• Utilize enforcement to proactively achieve compliance for safety;
• Where applicable, manage demand for the mobility infrastructure through heavier utilization of
transit, promotion of non -motorized travel, or other means.

labor, equipment, e.g.)
7. Consider innovative and non -conventional ("out of the box") approaches to delivery of results.
8. Ensure that any disruptions to the existing network— repairs, special events, new construction —are well
coordinated with citizens, businesses, and public safety agencies.
