presented an award of Distinguished Budget Presentation to the City of Renton for its
annual budget for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010. In order to receive this
award, a government unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria
as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan, and as a
communication device. The award is valid for a period of one year. We believe this

BUDGET MESSAGE
Mayor Denis Law/October 18, 2010
Good evening Council,
I appreciate the time this evening to present to you my proposed budget for
2011‐2012. As required by law, this budget is balanced and represents our
ongoing effort to maintain quality city services for our citizens at a time when
operating revenues continue to decline.
Our country is continuing to struggle through the worst economic recession in
history, even though we’re told the recession is officially over. While it’s
encouraging to see some slight improvement in the economy, high
unemployment, housing foreclosures and an extremely tight lending market are
providing little relief to our businesses or residents. And we should all be
convinced by now that this recovery will take a long, long time.
The trickle down affect of this poor economy on government services is very
evident. Nearly every day, we read headlines about continued layoffs in
government jobs.
Washington State has an immediate crisis due to a $520 million dollar gap for the
remainder of this year and a $4.6 billion dollar hole for the upcoming biennium.
Seattle indicates that 200 employees face lay‐offs. And King County has a $63
million dollar budget gap and is threatening hundreds of layoffs including sheriff’s
deputies.
Cities are also facing tough times. Lynnwood is struggling with a $20 million dollar
deficit that is threatening 80 positions. Preliminary budget discussions in Federal
Way indicate plans to eliminate nearly 40 positions including 18 police officers,
and Redmond is anticipating a decrease of nearly 28 positions on top of the 22
that were eliminated in 2009. Tukwila is dealing with a $4 million dollar shortfall
and is considering eliminating one of their fire engines as part of anticipated staff
reductions. Even Mercer Island is eliminating 8.5 positions and Bellevue is
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 1
reporting an $11 million deficit with plans to reduce staff by 85 positions, which
includes 25 additional layoffs. This scenario is playing out throughout our state,
including here at home.
As part of our efforts to balance our upcoming budget, we, too, are forced to
propose eliminating equivalent to four and a half full‐time positions. And while
it’s very painful to lay off quality workers, especially when jobs are so scarce,
we’re very thankful that we will be able to preserve most positions during the
next two years thanks to the difficult financial decisions we made over the past
two years.
At a time when we’ve been making significant cuts in staffing and other operating
costs, we have also concentrated our efforts on identifying new ways of doing
business. We are committed to continue providing quality levels of service to our
residents and business community through increased efficiency and productivity.
We have also engaged our employees to help evaluate and prioritize city services
that we feel are vital to our citizens.
I want to point out two new elements to this budget. As you know, this is the first
biennial budget for our city. Planning for two years saves a tremendous amount
of staff time and resources and also allows us to do a better job of planning for
the near future.
Secondly, as part of this budget process, we felt it was important to solicit input
from our citizens and business owners to make certain that our values and
priorities align with those of our community. We formed a Community Budget
Advisory Group comprised of local residents, business owners, and community
leaders to meet over a period of several weeks with city department heads and
our finance department. It was literally a crash course on how city government
operates and how decisions are made during our budget process. In addition to
soliciting their suggestions on opportunities for greater efficiencies and cost
savings, we asked them to be prepared to answer some specific questions:
Do the core services provided by the city meet the community’s priorities?
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 2
As a customer of city services, which of the services we provide do you view
as most and least important?
Is the city pursuing the “right” results for the Renton community?
The advisory group provided us with a number of valuable recommendations,
some of which have been included in this budget and others that will be part of
our ongoing planning for future years. You were provided with a copy of their
report.
We sincerely appreciate the time this group provided us in this process.
The next two years promise to be challenging.
Though we saw some signs of recovery toward the end of 2009 and a promising
start in early 2010, the recovery slowed to a crawl during the second quarter of
this year.
Growth projections have been repeatedly scaled back. Job growth was
insufficient to reduce the unemployment rate. Housing starts and permits
reversed their upward trends.
Our revenues continue to be lower than anticipated. Sales tax revenues through
September are nearly $1 million dollars below what we budgeted this year.
The total proposed two‐year budget for 2011 and 2012 is $445 million, of which
$198 million is the General Government fund that is used for police, fire and
emergency services, parks, street repair, and other basics required to run a city.
In preparing this budget, our preliminary projections indicated that maintaining
current levels of services in General Government Operations would result in a
deficit of $2 million in this budget period. We have made the necessary
adjustments to bring our expenditures in line with our revenue projections
through the next biennium.
It’s important to note that this budget proposal does not restore any of the
service reductions made during 2010. An example would be the summer
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 3
recreation programs that we used to provide in our neighborhood parks. It also
does not include funding for major maintenance projects and other capital needs.
I want to emphasize that some of these cuts and reductions cannot be sustained
in the long run. We need to maintain our parks and invest in our infrastructure or
we will pay an even bigger price in the future.
In the current budget year, every department made difficult choices, reducing or
reorganizing services while minimizing adverse impacts to our citizens.
Last year we successfully launched an ambitious initiative of zero‐based budgeting
based on priorities and measurable outcomes aimed at right‐sizing city
government, and for this year’s budget we built on that foundation.
Balancing our budget – proposed reductions
As I mentioned earlier, we are forced to eliminate several positions in order to
balance this budget. These are hard decisions to make since we value each one of
our employees and cannot say enough about the contributions they make every
day to the public they serve. We also made additional cost reductions to reduce
our overall expenditures.
Our primary responsibility remains in public safety. This includes our Police
department and Fire and Emergency Services. The services provided by these two
departments will continue to be our top priority. However, both departments,
along with all of the other departments, are reducing expenses in overtime and in
other areas. We will continue to look at new ways of deploying our resources to
meet our objectives of providing a safe community for our citizens and
businesses.
As the Community Budget Advisors noted, we need to have well maintained
streets, focus on infrastructure and transportation, and maintain basic utility
services. We plan to implement some of the recommendations of the advisory
group including reducing some administrative support functions.
Focusing on our priorities and delivering results
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 4
The budget includes the full funding of our portion of the startup cost for the new
800 bed jail that we’re building along with six other south county cities. It also
provides nearly $20 million over a ten‐year period for the development of new
library facilities that the Council committed to do when we annexed to the King
County Library System earlier this year.
Our city remains in solid financial shape despite this recession. We’re focusing on
improving efficiency while operating within our means. While I’m confident that
the economy will improve, I do not believe we will see the type of growth that
this region experienced over the past 15 years that, frankly, paid for a significant
portion of city services. Things are not going to be they way they used to be.
We will continue efforts to evaluate the way we do business. We will continue to
right‐size the structure of government.
We will continue to engage our employees to help find innovative and effective
ways of serving our citizens.
We will continue to practice fiscal responsibility and reduce our debt.
And we will continue to work with our labor groups to find sustainable ways of
managing our labor costs in order for us to continue to provide quality services to
our citizens with fewer dollars.
For the past two years, I have had to focus this budget message on steps we
were taking to deal with significant revenue shortages. But there is some good
news that I would like to share with you.
Despite the fact that we have reduced our workforce by 12% over the past two
years, we have continued to focus on providing quality service for our residents.
As promised, we have taken proactive steps to reduce crime in our city. The
Renton Police Department has created a Special Operations Division where
officers focus their attention on career criminals — targeting those individuals
who are personally responsible for many crimes. Our officers have been
successful at building strong cases against these individuals that will assure longer
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 5
prison terms. As an example, this division identified a group of 18 individuals who
were responsible for many burglaries, thefts, vehicle prowls, and identity theft.
Along with detectives and patrol officers, they devised a plan and pursued them
for three weeks and were able to arrest 13 suspects and serve seven search
warrants.
Our police officers also identified a known career criminal who was active in
committing residential burglaries. A plan was developed to catch him in the act
and after two days of intense surveillance, the suspect was observed committing
three burglaries in Renton and Newcastle and then pawning the stolen items. The
suspect was arrested and the stolen items were retrieved and returned to their
owners. Due to the extra effort, this individual has been charged with multiple
felony offenses.
We improved safety in our parks. In light of the tragic death of a senior citizen
who was walking along the Cedar River Trail, we took steps to enhance safety on
all our trails with new rules, trail striping, and additional signage. And our police
cadets were on the trails this summer to distribute safety and trail etiquette
information.
To deal with repeat offenders in our parks, the council enacted a new ordinance
that addresses drug and alcohol users and individuals violating other city laws.
Utilizing this ordinance, our police officers have expelled 20 offenders from all city
parks. Previously, these individuals would go from one park to another and
engage in all kinds of criminal activity. We’re now drafting a similar ordinance for
the Transit Center.
Thanks to our successful efforts in Washington DC to lobby for funds to repair the
Howard Hanson Dam, the US Army Corps of Engineers has received $44 million
for interim repairs to the dam. While we still need to be prepared this winter,
these repairs greatly reduce the risk of future flooding, which is a great relief for
the businesses in the Green River Valley.
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 6
Renton’s streets are among the best maintained in our region. We have made a
huge investment in sidewalk improvements and have constructed new sidewalks
in the Sunset area of the Highlands, Lindberg High School and Maplewood Glen.
Earlier this year, the Renton community voted to annex to the King County Library
System. We’re working together with KCLS to ensure the highest quality library
services for our citizens. We have established a new library board to represent
Renton’s interests and are planning for the construction of two new library
facilities in our city.
Despite significant reductions in our parks and recreation programs these past
two years, we continue to provide our community with the best possible parks
and recreation services. Record crowds attended local festivals and used our
parks and recreation programs this past year.
We strengthened and expanded our popular Neighborhood Program, which now
serves 63 recognized neighborhoods, with volunteer city staff assigned to each
neighborhood. We held 23 neighborhood picnics and served nearly 5,300 people.
This city is rich with volunteers and we value the involvement of our residents in
planning and envisioning the city’s future and serving on boards and commissions.
This year alone, approximately 4,000 volunteers contributed over 60,000 hours of
service to the Renton community. We coordinated the very first Volunteer’s Day
of Service where over 800 volunteers participated in several projects throughout
the city. If I had to put a dollar value to the services they provided it would be
more than $1.2 million a year.
In 2009, through our Housing Repair Assistance Program we were able to
complete 870 health and safety repairs, and another 400 repairs during the first
six months of this year. This important service that the city provides helps keep
housing safe and affordable and improves the comfort and livability of our city’s
homes and neighborhoods.
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 7
Recently, The Seattle Times and local television outlets reported that the city
known for being “Ahead of the Curve” is "Ahead of the Recovery." They were
talking about recent reports coming from The Landing. Restaurants and stores at
The Landing have enjoyed double‐digit sales growth over previous months and
last year. Several new tenants came to The Landing earlier this year and there are
six new tenants expected to open there by next spring, including Dick's Sporting
Goods and Marshalls.
Fairfield Residential at The Landing has already leased 440 of their quality
apartments and expects that the first building will be nearly full by the end of this
year.
Harrington Square, a very impressive apartment complex in the Highlands/Sunset
area, celebrated its grand opening recently and reported that half of the units in
their first building have already been leased. And next week we will celebrate the
grand opening of a new supermarket in the same neighborhood. Both sites
replaced boarded up businesses that attracted blight to the neighborhood.
A number of new companies located in Renton this year that resulted in over 500
new local jobs to our community. And new businesses opened in the downtown,
Cascade Village, Renton Village, Southport and the Highlands.
Downtown Renton continues to attract new businesses including several new
restaurants, Pike Place Bakery, a new children’s clothing store and a book store.
And the Farmers Market attracted record attendance with over 4,000 people
every week and 58 registered vendors.
The Seahawks Training Camp brought over 22,000 people to Renton during the
summer, many who shopped and dined in our community.
Private investors purchased the 21 acres south of The Landing and we are looking
forward to a significant redevelopment of this area.
We signed a historic agreement with Boeing for a 20‐year renewed lease for the
Renton Municipal Airport. Boeing continues to have over 2,000 outstanding 737
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 8
orders worth more than $157 billion, and announced it intends to increase
production rates to 38 airplanes a month by 2013.
Since last spring, Waterways Cruises has been successfully operating their unique
sightseeing and dining cruises from Southport in Renton, bringing over 7,000
visitors to our community in its first year of operation.
Some of you attended the recent opening of the Compass Regional Veteran’s
Center in downtown Renton. This attractive four‐story building occupies nearly
60,000 square feet and offers 58 units of affordable housing for veterans and
their families and 8,500 square feet of retail space.
These are clearly transformational times for our city. This budget is based on the
premise that while we are facing exceptionally difficult times, we must continue
to forge ahead with our vision for this community.
Next month, voters in the Fairwood area will determine whether or not to annex
to Renton. If they choose to annex, Renton will be a city of nearly 114,000
residents. We have prepared a plan that will allow us to provide city‐levels of
service to Fairwood with a revenue plan that supports all of the staffing and other
costs associated with the annexation.
I want to thank our employees for working with us these past two years to
address our financial challenges. I’m very pleased that all of our bargaining units,
with the exception of one, have ratified contracts for a three‐year period that
reflects these difficult times. Our employees have been tremendous partners and
continue to focus on customer service despite greatly reduced resources.
I want to thank each of our administrators and all those employees whose hard
work and collaboration helped us through this budget process.
I also want to thank each of you, for your advice and guidance as we have worked
on this challenging budget.
And I’d like to extend a very special thanks to the Community Budget Advisory
Group for volunteering their valuable time and effort. Their thoughtful discussions
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 9
and advice helped shape this budget and encouraged us to continue to work
towards a sustainable, long‐term plan that is customer‐focused and reflects the
priorities of our community.
You have been presented with all of the details for this budget, and our staff will
be prepared to lead you through the specifics of this plan during your upcoming
Council budget workshop. I certainly welcome your feedback, concerns, and
recommendations.
A strong foundation set many years ago has positioned Renton well as the
economy improves. This strong foundation, combined with our commitment to
doing business more effectively and efficiently, will allow Renton to be strong and
stable now and into the future.
Thank you.

and 33 positions

$4 Million Expenditure Cuts

Balance
2010 Adopted Budget
$6 million and 50.2 FTEs
Reductions
The 2011‐2012 adopted budget is the first biennial budget for the City
of Renton. For the upcoming biennium, the adopted total revenue is
$440 million against total expenditures of $445 million. The revenue
shows a decrease 2.9% from the combined 2009‐2010 adopted
budget level and the expenditures reflect a decrease of 4.2% from the
adopted 2009‐2010 budgeted expenditures.
For the city’s General Fund, we are looking at combined revenue of
$198.3 million and expenditures of $198.2 million. This is a decrease
of 0.2% on the revenue side and a decrease of 0.6% on the
expenditure side over the combined 2009‐2010 budget.
The budgets for 2011 and 2012 are presented in this document as
two 1‐year budgets for ease of financial reporting and to allow close
fiscal management. To compare the adopted budget with prior years,
this section compares the adopted 2011 budget with the adopted
2010 budget.
Over the past two and half years, the City’s General Fund has reduced
its staffing level by 83.2 or 12% and reduced expenditures by of $21
million due to the declining tax revenues as a result of the Great
Recession. Some of these changes were 1‐year savings, but nearly
$12 million or 12% were long‐term structural adjustments including
scaling services back or totally eliminating certain services. These
structural changes made over the past two budget cycles provided us
with a smaller base and relatively minor adjustments for the 2011‐
2012 budget.
2011‐2012 Budget
$198.3 M revenues and
$198.2 M expenditures
The adopted 2011‐2012 General Fund budget is balanced over the
biennium with a slim positive margin of $70,614.
The budget includes a $2.5 million one‐time startup cost for the
SCORE regional correctional facility, which is slated to begin its
operation in September 2011; it recognizes the costs for the six COPS
Grant officers when the grant runs out in the second half of 2012
($270k); it will cover the 65% increase in state pension costs over the
two‐year period (from $1.8 million a year in 2010 to $2.98 million in
2012); and it assumes the worst case scenario of the two liquor‐
privatization related initiatives, with a loss of over $1 million a year in
liquor profit/liquor excise tax revenue starting the 4th quarter of 2011.
Offsetting these cost increases and resource reductions, the City is
Executive Summary - 2011/2012 Budget Highlights 1 - 11
able to lower its medical benefit cost projection due to a combination
of a very favorable utilization experience in 2010 and an increased
employee cost sharing formula in the recently approved union
agreements. This will allow the City to reduce its 2010 cost as well as
have lower than anticipated costs in 2011 and 2012 by over $1 million
each year.
It is the second year in a row that we suspended applying the 4%
replacement cost escalator to department equipment rental charges.
Balancing this budget required further reduction in operating costs,
including personnel costs, of $2 million dollars.
Revenue
The adopted revenue projection is $98.2 million for 2011 and $100.1
million for 2012. This is an overall growth of 0.4% from the adopted
2010 revenue or a 2.2% increase over the 2010 year‐end estimates.
The 2012 adopted revenue is 1.9% over the adopted 2011 amount.
This budget anticipates that property tax collections will be $32
million in 2011 and $32.5 million in 2012. This is 2.2% growth in 2011
and 1.3% growth in 2012. The growth rate for 2011 is higher than we
have anticipated due to higher new construction activity not captured
in 2010 valuation, and a number of small annexations that took effect
during 2010. The City will maintain its 2010 1% property tax “banked
capacity” for future needs.
We are projecting modest growth in some of our more volatile
revenue sources. We are projecting sales tax to grow by 3.5% and
5.5% over the biennium, development permit and plan review fees by
6% in 2011 and 3% in 2012, and a 1.5% annual employment growth
for business license fees. We are projecting a 10% decrease in Real
Estate Excise Tax in 2011, and a similar 10% increase in 2012,
reflecting an improving economy.
As mentioned previously, the adopted budget assumes both
Initiatives 1100 and 1105 will pass, resulting in a loss of $200k in state
distributed liquor profits in 2011 and $1 million in both profits and
excise tax in 2012.
Expenditures
As we informed the Council at the second quarter financial update in
September, the preliminary budget projection were over $2 million
out of balance.
The higher than anticipated new construction property tax helped to
narrowed the gap slightly, but cuts were still necessary to bridge the
nearly $2 million gap.
Given prior reductions the additional $2 million reduction, while a
relatively small percentage of the budget, was more difficult to find
than we anticipated. We approached the reduction by focusing on
Executive Summary - 2011/2012 Budget Highlights 1 - 12
administrative or indirect cost, in areas where workload has been
reduced due to the state of the economy or due to programming
changes, by reviewing internal parity and sustainability, and by
deferring capital outlays. These are to ensure reductions will have
minimal service impacts on the community and as recommended by
the Community Budget Advisory Group.
The resulting reductions total $2.03 million over the biennium, and
include reducing another 4.5 FTEs as more fully described below.
Fund Balance
With the reduced expenditure budget, the General Fund will end the
2011‐2012 biennium with a $70k increase to the estimated 2010 year
end fund balance for a projected total of $10.1 million or a little over
10% of General Fund expenditures. This is below the 12% target but
above the 8% required minimum. The City also maintains a $5 million
catastrophic reserve in the Risk Management Fund and a well funded
equipment replacement reserve. These reserves and fund balances
would provide a safety net during a turbulent and uncertain period in
our history.
Executive
Addition:
$70,000 potential West Hill
annexation election cost
Reductions:
Public defender contract
($40,000)
Outsource Hearing Examiner
function
‐1.5 FTE
($136,737)
The Executive Department budget reflects an increase in election
costs based on anticipated West Hill special annexation election in
2012, and a reduction in its public defender’s budget by 10% or
$40,000 as part of the citywide budget reduction. To realize the
savings, more financial screening of defendants for eligibility will be
required, and/or more cost recoupment from defendants.
The administration also proposes to restructure the administrative
hearing function by converting the in‐house hearing staff to a
contracted Hearing Examiner. This would reduce 1.5 FTE for a net
savings (net of contracting cost) of $137k a year.
Court Services
Addition:
0.5 probation officer
supported by increase in
probation fees
Replacement of court
recording system and add
video arraignment: $66,000
The Court Services Department will add 0.5 Probation Officer to allow
more monitoring of offenders as well as provide sick and vacation
coverage to the one officer we currently have. The addition is
supported by increased fee revenue.
In addition, the current court audio recording system is at the end of
its life and needs to be replaced to prevent failure, and we will need
to equip the two courtrooms with video arraignment capability once
the inmates are in SCORE’s jail. Video arraignment is being
implemented at SCORE to save transport costs for our police
department and will reduce jail operating costs.
City Attorney The City Attorney Department will decrease its budget by $37,500 per
year. The reductions are in office supplies, professional services,
training, postage, and custodial services that are provided by the

The Department of Community and Economic Development (CED) will
decrease its budget by $120,000 a year which includes the reduction
of 1 FTE, which will be managed through attrition, and reductions in
the marketing campaign and training budgets.
The adopted budget will add two 2‐year inspectors dedicated to the
Rainer Avenue Improvement project. These positions will be fully
funded by the reimbursement from the project budget.
Not shown in CED (budgeted in Information Technology) is the
implementation of the new permit system in 2011‐2012. The total
estimated project cost is $1 million, to be financed over 10 years
through the technology surcharge the Council approved in 2010.
As part of the initiative to increase leveraging of community and
volunteer resources, the Neighborhood Program has been
consolidated with the Community Resources and Events section of
the Community Services Department.
Community Services
Reduction:
Reduce one Recreation
Supervisor position
‐1. FTE/($104k) savings a year
Salary saving $40k
The Community Services department will reduce one recreation
supervisor position due to the elimination of summer recreation
programs as part of 2010 budget reduction.
In addition, the department will keep one park maintenance worker
position open for the first half of 2011, which would generate $40,000
savings.
Addition:
Reinstate Secretary II position
0.5 FTE/$41k a year
These reductions will allow the department to restore a 0.5 FTE
Secretary II position to help processing large amount of contracts and
payments, provide other administrative support to the department
and cover certain cost increases in 2011‐2012.
Human Services

CDBG: Housing Repair
1 FTE, (1‐year, Limited Term)
The City is eligible to become a direct entitlement city for the federal
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. To become
one, however, the City must have a Consolidated Human Service Plan
in place. This $24,000 (and $6,000 in 2010) will allow the city to
prepare the plan and determine whether it is in the community’s best
interest to leave the King County Consortium and become a direct
grant recipient of CDBG. The adopted budget will also extend the
second housing repair position for one additional year using CDBG
funds from 2010 ($62k) and 2011 ($22k).
Executive Summary - 2011/2012 Budget Highlights 1 - 14
Neighborhood, Community
Resources, and Events
$243,918
1.5 FTE
As mentioned above, the consolidation of the neighborhood program
will add 1.5 FTE and $244k in 2011 and $253k in 2012 to this division.
Library
With the annexation to the King County Library System (KCLS), the
City will continue to provide the major maintenance of the existing
library facilities ($30k a year) that the City owns and the development
of new library facilities to serve the Renton community ($2 million a
year transfer to CIP fund) for 2011 and 2012.
Parks Planning & Natural
Resources
$5,000
The additional cost is needed to maintain new right‐of‐way planting
areas to be completed in 2010 and 2011, such as the I‐405/Talbot
Road, Shattuck Avenue Overpass, and Park/Garden Avenue
improvements.
Facilities
$119k energy cost & HVAC
contract
The adopted budget would also restore the HVAC service contract
that was eliminated in 2010 budget and recognize the energy cost
increase on all city facilities.
Fire & Emergency Services
Reduction:
($300,000) 1‐time and
($98,676) each year in on‐
going cost savings
Fire and Emergency Services Department will reduce one back‐up
engine, which will allow the City to redirect the $300,000
accumulated replacement reserve for the engine as well as eliminate
the $42,676 annual operation and maintenance costs and future
reserves associated with this engine.
The department will also reduce overtime coverage for training in the
amount of $56,000 per year.
FIT
Reduction:
($30,000)
Addition:
1 Limited Term Permit
Specialist (to be housed in
CED) for the Permit System
Replacement project
The Finance and Information Technology Department (FIT) will reduce
its baseline budget by $30,000 in the areas of supplies, training, and
overtime. And consistent with 2010, the department will delay
various IT capital projects and only focus on those projects that will
improve organizational efficiency and productivity.
One of these projects is the replacement of the city’s Permit System.
This project will allow web‐based permit application, plan submittal,
inspection scheduling, and status of permits and projects that can be
accessed by applicants as well as the general public. As mentioned
before, the overall project cost is estimated at $1 million, and involves
substantial work‐process changes, which would require the
dedication of a staff person to manage the project. The project will
be financed with a technology surcharge approved by Council in 2010.
Human Resources &
Risk Management
The Human Resources & Risk Management Department (HRRM) will
eliminate its budget for small tools in 2011. This small department
budget has made substantial cuts in 2010 and we do not believe
additional cuts would be sustainable.
Executive Summary - 2011/2012 Budget Highlights 1 - 15
Police
Reduction:
($230,000) 1‐time,
$25,000 on going
Jail Transition to SCORE
‐16 FTE
$2.5 million
SCORE startup cost
The adopted Police budget reduction is primarily from the deferral of
implementation of the in‐car‐video program ($180,000) started in
2010, and funding $50,000 in special enforcement overtime for drug
enforcement activities with seizure funds. The department will also
eliminate $25,000 in its small tools accounts.
With the completion of SCORE jail in 2011, the city will be going out of
the jail business effective January 1, 2011. This would eliminate 16 of
the existing positions. The 2011 and 2012 budget reflects anticipated
contracted service payments to SCORE and the city’s portion of
SCORE startup costs.
Public Works
Reduction:
($250,000)
‐1.0 FTE
The General Fund portion of the Public Works Department consists of
department administration, street maintenance, and transportation.
The adopted budget includes the reduction of one half‐time Office
Assistant position in the Transportation Operations and Maintenance
Division, and the reduction of a full time Admin Secretary II position in
the Transportation Systems Division from full time to part time for a
combined savings of $69,200 annually. In addition, the department is
proposing a city‐wide reduction in equipment replacement charges of
$100,000 by selectively increasing the projected useful life of certain
equipment, and selectively reducing street lights to generate 5%
energy savings citywide. The department will also reduce temporary
help for traffic counts and overtime of project management.
General
Government Debt Service
The adopted budget includes the amount needed to meet the city’s
general obligation debt service payments.
We anticipate issuing new bonds for the development of the adopted
libraries in 2011 with debt service to begin in 2012
($1 million in 2012 and $2 million per year thereafter for a total
financing period of 10 years). This is funded with savings from the
annexation to the King County Library System.
Capital Funds
Governmental Capital
Improvements Fund (316)
Total $24.1 million
The adopted 2011‐2012 budget includes $24.1 million in General
Governmental capital projects. All are funded with prior dedicated
funds, with the exception of $1.2 million of new allocations: $800k
from 2011‐2012 Real Estate Excise Tax and $200k each year from
temporary library cost savings before full debt service is needed in
2013. Of the $24.1 million, $19.6 million is for the development of the
new libraries mentioned previously to be financed with bond issues.
Executive Summary - 2011/2012 Budget Highlights 1 - 16
Some of the remaining projects include:
1) $750k for an accessible playground that would be funded totally
with parks’ mitigation and community fundraising dollars and
constructed with volunteer efforts. No General Fund contribution
is expected.
2) $740k over two years for major maintenance projects primarily
funded with savings from prior year projects.
3) Appropriate the remaining $584k that was previously set aside
(no new money) for the implementation of the Sunset Subarea
Plan.
4) Set aside $450k for disaster repair and grant matching funds.
5) $320k King County Levy funds for specific acquisition projects.
6) $346k for rehabilitation of the Public Works maintenance shops
and Community Services maintenance shops to prolong the life of
these buildings.
7) $300k in street tree replacement where the trees have been
uprooted by the sidewalks.
8) Set aside $240k over 2 years for potential enhancements at Henry
Moses Aquatic Center.
9) $127k restroom ADA upgrades at the 200 Mill building funded
with lease income and $120k ADA restroom upgrades at
Maplewood Park.
The remaining $482k consists of a number of small safety‐related
repairs/improvements throughout our park system. See Capital
Investment Section for more detail.
Transportation
Improvements Fund (317)
The Transportation Improvement Fund is the account that
implements the transportation element of the CIP. The adopted
2011‐2012 transportation improvement projects total $21.4 million.
$3.3 million is from the designated 80% Business License fees, $1.2
million from arterial street fuel tax, and the remaining are funded
with grants. Details of the projects and use of city resources for these
projects can be found in the CIP section of this budget.
Enterprise Funds
The city has several enterprise type (or business type) operations,
which must be self‐sustaining. These include the Water, Wastewater,
and Surface Water utilities; a Solid Waste utility; the golf course, and
the airport.
Utilities The Water, Wastewater, and Surface Water utility funds are
accounted for and budgeted separately, but are managed as a system
Executive Summary - 2011/2012 Budget Highlights 1 - 17
Utilities Financial Policy
in accordance with the city’s financial management policies. The
system conducts a comprehensive rate review every six years with the
assistance of outside consultants, and annual updates performed by
city staff.
The City re‐evaluated the city’s rate setting policies in 2010. Through
this process, along with the failure of two sewer collection line
sections, the City Council approved the following reserve and capital
project financing policies:
1) Consolidate operating and rate stabilization reserves at 12%
for each of the piped utilities, and establish a fixed dollar
reserves for solid waste ($400k) and the pass‐through Metro
sewer treatment charges ($380k or 3.5%) based on actual
cash flow requirements
2) Maintain debt service reserves based on the highest 1‐year
debt service payment requirements
3) Establish a capital financing policy that:
a. Uses rate revenue to finance system replacements
b. Only uses bond financing for system and capacity
expansion, major transmission, and storage system
improvements
These policies and the adopted system replacement projects as
identified in the CIP section, required substantial rate increases for
the next two years:
Water –18%/16%
Wastewater – 42%/5%
King Count Metro Wastewater Treatment (pass through) – 13%/0%
Surface Water – 40%/11%
Solid Waste – 0%/0%
These rate increases are needed to provide for on‐going capital
infrastructure replacements.
Maplewood Golf Course
The only change in the adopted golf course budget is the refunding of
the balance of 1999 refunding revenue bonds and replacing them
with an interfund loan in 2010. This eliminates the revenue coverage
requirement and saves the golf course an average of $36k a year for
the remaining 5 years of the bonds.
Renton Municipal Airport
Addition: 1.00 FTE for
capital project coordination
With the renegotiated leases for all major tenants at the airport, the
airport operation has a much improved outlook, and will have funds
to make needed improvements of its facilities. Therefore, the airport
is requesting the addition of a CIP Coordinator position. Overall, the
airport lease revenues are projected to grow by 63% in the 2011‐2012
biennium over the adopted 2009 and 2010 period. The higher lease
income together with anticipated federal grants will allow the airport
Executive Summary - 2011/2012 Budget Highlights 1 - 18
to finance nearly $6.6 million in capital over the biennium. See the
CIP section of the budget for details.
Internal Service Funds
The city operates several “businesses” that provide service internally
to other city departments. These include the Equipment Rental Fund
(Motor Pool 501), Insurance Fund (Risk Management 502), Health
Insurance Fund (512), LEOFF1 Retiree Healthcare Fund (522),
Information Technology Fund (503), Facilities Fund (504), and
Communications Fund (505).
Equipment Rental
Operating: $1.9/$2 million
Equipment Replacement:
$1.2 million/$505k
The Equipment Rental fund maintains nearly 600 pieces of equipment
for the City and accumulates replacement reserves for replacement of
vehicles when needed.
The city will reduce the contribution to the equipment replacement
reserve due to the suspension of applying a 4% price escalator to the
calculation of replacement reserves, the adopted deletion of one
backup fire engine, and the extension of projected equipment life.
However, even with the reduction, the fund balance will continue to
grow.
It is important to be aware that even without these reserve
modifications, the city will be facing substantial increases in required
reserve contributions. This is because many vehicles and equipment
have reached the end of their useful life for reserve collections but
remain in service (they are kept longer than their expected life).
When replaced later, the reserve collection would resume and thus
an increase in user departments’ costs. The best way to smooth
contributions is to set the expected life as close to the actual life as
possible. We will review this more in depth in 2011.
Information Technology
Operating:$3.0/$3.1 million
Capital:$1.5/$1.2 million
The Information Technology (IT) Fund was created in 2006 to allocate
the costs of the city’s centralized IT programs. This fund provides for
the technology, telecommunications, and copier equipment lease and
maintenance for the city.
The adopted budget contains a total of $2.7 million in IT capital
projects. It contains the routine capital items to maintain network
integrity and provides essential tools for continuing operations such
as copier rental and computer replacement programs.
The majority of the 2011‐2012 technology investments are:
1) Replacement of the City’s eight small separate old phone
systems with one unified Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
phone system. Total cost $410k.
2) Replacement of the permit system; $800k in 2011‐2012 and
$200k in 2013, which will be funded with the technology
surcharge.
Also included is the equipment needed to communicate and access
computer aided dispatching (CAD) data due to the new Valley
Executive Summary - 2011/2012 Budget Highlights 1 - 19
Communication Center CAD system.
IT Division will continue implementation of the Enterprise GIS Plan
and other system improvements consistent with the adopted 2007 IT
Strategic Plan.
Risk Management
2011‐2012:
$16.4/$17.2 million
The City’s Risk Management program consists of three funds,
Property and Liability Insurance Fund (502), Employee Health
Insurance Fund (512), and Retiree Medical Fund (522).
The 502 Fund covers property and liability insurance ($2 million each
for 2011 and 2012); workers compensation (around $1 million per
year); and unemployment insurance (around $150k per year).
The City self‐insures employee health benefits with a stop‐loss
coverage of $250k per incident. The 2011 and 2012 budget and
charge is based on projected plan costs by the number of employees.
Providing retiree health care is required by state law for LEOFF I
retirees. The city contributes $2.2 million a year to the fund,
sufficient to cover the current plan costs but not enough to fully
amortize the unfunded future obligations, which are actuarially
determined to be approximately $3.2 million in present value.
Facilities
Operating:$3.7/$3.9 million
Major Maintenance:
$498K/year.
The Facilities Fund was implemented in 2009 to accumulate costs for
maintaining and operating the City’s office, public (primarily use
general public), and operational (primarily used for City field
operations purposes) facilities, and charge the costs to the
appropriate functions/services. Starting in 2010, we moved major
maintenance (major repairs and updates) from General
Governmental CIP (Fund 316) into this fund, which is now paying for
these costs with current operating resources.
Communications
Although the Communications Fund is a newly created fund in 2010,
the services have been part of the City operations and are part of the
Executive Department. The fund provides both external as well as
internal communications. The costs are allocated based on actual
services demand by departments. No adopted changes in the 2011‐
2012 biennium.

Budget at a Glance
The Budget Process
The City of Renton develops its biennial budget every two years from February through
October. The Mayor and the Council review the City’s revenues and services in order to
determine if they need to make significant changes to the budget.
In reviewing the anticipated revenue, the Mayor’s first priority is to ensure that the City is able
to continue providing the same levels of service. This may require obtaining additional funds
because the same service level now costs more. For example, as our population increases, we
need more police officers to maintain the same response times.
City departments estimate the costs of providing existing base services for the budget year. In
addition, they submit requests for new programs that they would like the Mayor to consider.
The Mayor evaluates the department requests and can recommend new programs for Council
approval within the context of the Council’s adopted Business Plan Goals.
The Mayor and the Council hold a strategic planning retreat in the spring of each year in order
to adopt these Business Plan Goals. At that time, the Council sets policy direction and priorities
for the next budget cycle. They also determine whether the City’s current levels of service are
meeting the needs of our community.
The Mayor must provide to the Council by October 31 a proposed budget for the following two
years. The Mayor also provides them with an estimate of expected revenue in order to meet
the costs of providing City services. The Council reviews the budget and any revisions in
November and December. It must approve a balanced budget, (funding recommendations for
the operating and capital budgets that do not exceed the estimated resources) by the beginning
of the budget year, which is January for the City of Renton. In order to obtain citizen opinion
about proposed expenditures, the City holds two public budget hearings.
Once the Council adopts the budget, the Mayor must ensure that expenditures are made within
legal limits. If the economy changes or the City identifies unanticipated needs during the year
that require changing the budget, the Mayor will recommend those changes. A Council‐
adopted ordinance must accompany all budget increases. If revenues fall short, the Mayor can
make decreases to the budget to ensure that the City does not overspend available resources.
The Mayor will work closely with the Council whenever changes to the budget must be made.
Executive Summary - Budget at a Glance 1 - 21
Budgetary Basis and Basis of Accounting
The budget, as adopted, constitutes the legal authority for expenditures. Budgets are adopted
on the GAAP basis of accounting. The biennial budget is adopted with budgetary control at the
fund level so expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at that level of detail.
Transfers or revisions within funds are allowed, but only the City Council has the legal authority
to increase or decrease a given fund’s biennial budget.
Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures / expenses are
recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. It relates to the timing of
the measurement made regardless of the measurement focus applied:
1. Accrual
Both governmental and business‐type activities in the government‐wide financial statements
and the proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements are presented on the accrual basis
of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when
incurred.
2. Modified Accrual
The government funds financial statements are presented on the modified basis of accounting.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to
accrual: i.e., both measurable and available. “Available” means collectible within the current
period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period.

CITY OF RENTON 2011‐2012 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
General Fund Long Range Projection
The City’s fiscal policy requires the City to prepare a long‐term projection for General Governmental and other
funds as deemed necessary. The City prepares projections for tax supported General Governmental funds as
well as rate supported utilities. The purposes are similar: to insure operations are sustainable by the taxes’
revenues and utility rates can sustain the operation and replacement of utility system infrastructures. These
“glimpses” into the future allows the City to proactively plan and implement corrective measures over time to
avoid sudden drastic changes in service levels or in revenue/tax policies.
The Forecast is an integral part of planning the City’s future financial strategy. Revenues are projected
conservatively over the period and are compared to cost increase estimates in payroll, operating expenditures,
and capital outlay. The City’s fiscal policy requires a balanced budget in the ensuing budget years (2011‐2012),
with current year operating costs covered by current year operating revenues. While the policy does not require
a balanced budget in the projected period beyond the current budget years, the intent is to size the current
operations at a sustainable level within the projection horizon.
As shown in the summary table above, there is be a slight gap, roughly 1% in 2016, between General Fund
operating revenues and operating expenditures based on the above general projection assumptions. The City
managed through the Great Recession with relative small drawdown of fund balances by actively adjusting

of the startup cost for the regional South Correctional Entity (SCORE) to replace our municipal jail and many jail
service contracts starting September 2011.
Overall revenue projection assumes a modest growth in sales tax (3.5% and 5.5%) and construction activities
(10% and 15%) over the next two years. New construction property tax and small annexations are assumed to
provide 1% total of property tax growth on top of the 1% general growth allowed by the state statute. The
overall revenue growth is projected to be around 2% each year over the next two years.
The expenditure projection shows a slower growth trend as well with only 1% overall general fund expenditure
increase and 0.5% increase in 2012. The Great Recession has a positive impact on our costs with a negative or
nearly zero rate of inflation in the last two years. Wage increases have slowed since its peak in mid‐2007 due to
roll back and/or unpaid furloughs. The City is able to negotiate new 3‐year contracts (2010‐2012) with four of
the five bargaining unions for no wage increase in 2010, and a modest increase of 1% and 2.5% for 2011 and
2012, respectively; and a multi‐year, progressively increasing employee contributions towards the City’s self
funded health benefit plan. In addition, the City’s health plan is seeing a reduced utilization in 2010 which
allowed us to lower our base for medical cost projection in 2011 and beyond. With these structural changes
occurring in 2010, the City is able to balance the 2011/2012 biennial budget with fewer adjustments, and more
importantly, have manageable deficits in future years.
The future projection assumes labor costs to increase by 0.5% above the rate of inflation at around 2.5%;
medical cost, after increase in employee cost sharing, to grow at around 8%, and the projected pension cost is
based on the state actuary’s projected rates.
MAJOR REVENUES
Seventy‐six (76%) percent of our General Fund services are supported by tax revenues. Among all the taxes
supporting these operations, property tax is by far the most significant source, accounting for 32% of the total.
This growth of this revenue is limited by statute to 1% per year plus annexation and new construction. Sales tax
is another significant revenue source representing nearly 23% of our revenue base.
VOTER INITIATIVES
A majority of the City’s General Fund resources either has limited growth potential or is economically sensitive
and generally grows at a rate below inflation, while the City’s service costs, driven by personnel pay and
benefits, tends to escalate faster than the rate of inflation. This is a common fiscal structural issue that faces all
government entities in the state.
In addition, citizen initiatives over the past decade have made a significant impact on general revenues for all
local governments in Washington State, including Renton. The cumulative losses for Renton include $640,000 a
year from Initiative 695 (1999) which repealed the state Motor Vehicle Tax; over $2.51 million a year from
Initiative 747 (2001), limiting the property tax growth rate to the lower of inflation or 1%, plus new construction;
and $750,000 a year street maintenance fund from Initiative 776 (2002) that eliminated the local option Vehicle
Licensing Fee approved by voters for transportation systems in King County. This is a combined loss of nearly $4
million a year in Renton‘s general government revenues overall the past 10 years.
1 The $2.5 million is calculated based on the difference between 1% and the rate of inflation as measured by CPI‐W. The
loss is over $8 million a year if calculated on 6% statute limit prior to the passage of I‐747.
Executive Summary - Long Range Plan 1 - 52
CITY OF RENTON 2011‐2012 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
There are a number of initiatives/ballot measures on the November 2010 ballot, if passed, that will have
different effects on the City’s budget in the 2011/2012 biennium and beyond.
Initiative 1053 concerns tax increases imposed by state government. This Initiative restates existing statutory
requirements that legislative actions raising taxes must be approved by two‐thirds legislative majorities or
receive voter approval, and that new or increased fees requires majority legislative approval. Although the
measure would not directly impact cities, the Association of Washington Cities anticipates significant secondary
impacts given the constraints this initiative will place on the state’s revenue generating ability. This initiative
was passed.
Initiatives 1100 and 1105 relate to the privatization of liquor. If approved by voters, Initiatives 1100 and 1105
each impact a significant revenue stream for state and local government. While both initiatives close state liquor
stores and privatize the sale and distribution of liquor, the measures have different effective dates and different
impacts. Both initiatives eliminate liquor profits. I‐1100 maintains the liquor tax; I‐1105 eliminates the liquor tax
effective April 1, 2012.
Initiative 1100 1105
Date private liquor distribution begins 1/1/2011 10/1/2011
Private liquor stores open 6/1/2011 11/1/2011
State liquor stores close – according to OFM fiscal note 6/15/2011 11/15/2011
State liquor distribution and liquor profits end (OFM fiscal note) 6/15/2011 11/15/2011
State liquor stores must close 12/31/2011 4/1/2012
State liquor distribution must end and liquor profits end 12/31/2011 4/1/2012
State liquor taxes end N/A 4/1/2012
The City of Renton’s assumptions about financial impact are that if both initiatives pass, I‐1100 would be
effective in mid‐2011, and I‐1105 effective in early 2012, and there will be no other tax adjustments on liquor.
This would mean a partial (one‐third) reduction to liquor profits distribution that Renton now receives for the
year 2011, and a loss of approximately $600,000 beginning in 2012 and ongoing into the future. Since I‐1105
presumes the reinstatement of excise taxes on liquor, it is unclear how or when that might occur and given the
potential change under Initiative 1053, our current estimates of approximately $425,000 in liquor excise taxes
would be eliminated beginning in 2012 and ongoing into the future, and therefore a total revenue loss of nearly
$1 million on an ongoing basis if both measures are approved.
Under I‐1105, if excise tax is removed then liquor sales will be automatically subject to sales tax and it is unclear
how much would be generated from that source since the basis of that tax is sales, and not volume as with the
excise tax. It is possible that the Legislature could resolve conflicts between the two initiatives by amending
either or both measures with a two‐thirds vote. Failing that, the courts would be tasked with resolving the
differences. These initiatives did not pass.
Initiative 1082 concerns industrial insurance. The Initiative allows private insurers to compete with the state
Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) to offer employer workers' compensation coverage, effective July 1,
2012. Also eliminates the worker‐paid share of medical‐benefit premiums, shifting costs to the employer.
Washington is one of four states that do not allow private companies to offer workers' compensation insurance,
although employers may self‐insure under guidance from L&I. Proponents of I‐1082, critical of L&I’s
management of the system, say the added competition would bring about efficiencies and lower workers'
compensation premium costs. Opponents, led by organized labor and the trial lawyers' association, argue that
Executive Summary - Long Range Plan 1 - 53
OVERVIEW CITY OF RENTON 2011‐2012 BIENNIAL BUDGET
introducing the profit motive to the system would actually drive costs up and result in less protection for injured
workers.
The City of Renton as a self‐insured employer may need to pay the worker‐paid share of medical‐benefit
premiums if this Initiative passes, costs totaled $58,000 in 2009 and projected to be $65,000 in 2010. This
initiative did not pass.
Initiative 1098 relates to the state income tax. The measure proposes taxes on "adjusted gross income" above
$200,000 (individuals) and $400,000 (joint‐filers), reduces state property tax levies, reduces certain business and
occupation taxes, and directs any increased revenues to education and health. This initiative did not pass.
Initiative 1107 reverses certain 2010 amendments to state tax laws. This measure ends sales tax on candy;
ends temporary sales tax on some bottled water; ends temporary excise taxes on carbonated beverages; and
reduces tax rates for certain food processors (backed by the American Beverage Association). The Department
of Revenue estimated that revenues from the section of E2SSB 6143, enacted by the Legislature in 2010, that
suspend the sales and use tax exemptions for bottled water, candy, and gum from June 1, 2010 through July 1,
2013 would generate $23.7 million for cities and counties.
The City of Renton’s current assumption about this Initiative is that the current sales tax on candy and bottled
water has had a minimal revenue impact and effects would be negligible if reversed. The State of Washington
estimates a 0.3% loss in sales tax collections if the measure is approved. This initiative was passed.
King County Proposition 1 authorizes an additional sales and use tax of two‐tenths of one percent pursuant to
RCW82.14.450 for criminal justice, fire protection, and other general governmental purposes, with proceeds
split between the county (60%) and cities (40%). One‐tenth of one percent of the proposed sales tax increase
would sunset after three years. The second one‐tenth of one percent would sunset in 20 years to allow the
County to sell long‐term debt to finance the construction of the Youth Justice Center.
If approved, the estimated financial impact of Proposition 1 to the City of Renton for 2011‐12 would be
distributions of $1.28 million in 2011, and $1.83 million in 2012. The population based distributions would not
represent an ongoing stable revenue source for Renton because of the sunset provisions. It is most likely the
City will dedicate these “limited term” resources to capital investments. This proposition did not pass.
Renton Proposition 1 is the proposed annexation of the Fairwood area to the City of Renton. The Renton City
Council received a petition to annex property to the City of Renton and passed a resolution calling for the
question by Fairwood voters. The measure authorizes the annexation of the property to the city. Historically the
City’s position on annexation has been neutral, allowing residents in the annexation area to decide their
governance future and welcoming areas who want to annex while maintaining services to current residents.
The current assumptions about the Fairwood annexation are that the financial impact of the annexation on
Renton’s operating budget would be neutral, with an annual operating cost to serve the Fairwood area of
approximately $13.1 million, and revenues roughly the same, which includes both the tax base generated from
the annexation area combined with a 10‐year credit on the state share of the retail sales tax that yields $2‐2.5
million to help fund the service costs of the annexation. Costs to provide surface water management in the
enterprise funds equal the revenues available. Long‐term capital costs will be phased and funding in keeping
with city‐wide capital improvement and infrastructure needs. And one‐time equipment and transition costs will
be purchased and repaid through short‐term borrowing from internal city resources.
Executive Summary - Long Range Plan 1 - 54
CITY OF RENTON 2011‐2012 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
The amount of money a typical Fairwood household would pay in taxes will remain the same or be slightly lower
with property taxes decreasing because the city rate is lower than the combined county and fire district rates;
and the city utility tax would be new to residents so individual tax experiences will vary based on consumption
by household. This proposition did not pass.
TAXES
PROPERTY TAX (RCW 84.52)
Property tax is the largest revenue source and is used for general
governmental operations. The table to the right shows past and
projected annual property tax levies. New construction has
contributed to substantial growth in the City’s property tax base
over the past five years which are added to the 1% base levy
growth limit. The 23.7% increase in 2008 reflects the annexation of
the Benson Hill area.
1. The 101% growth limit in the property tax revenue:
Before 2002, a taxing district could increase the property tax levy amount annually by 6% (for a total of
106% of the amount levied in the previous year), up to the applicable tax rate cap. This growth limit was
established in 1973 as the legislature responded to people's concerns that property taxes were rising too
fast with the real estate boom.
Initiative 747 (approved by voters in 2001) further lowered the limit to the lesser of 1% or inflation.
Property tax growth resulted from new construction; changes in value of state‐assessed utility property, and
newly annexed property (collectively referred to as “new construction”) are exempted from the lid/limit
factor and may be added to the tax levy. The growth limit can be "lifted" by voters.
A "lid lift" vote requires a simple majority voter approval, and the amount can be added to the levy base
permanently for future years if the intent is clearly stated in the ballot measure.
The 2% growth budgeted for 2011 includes 0.6% of new construction and 0.4% of various small annexations
that occurred in 2010 plus the 1% growth limit provided by the state law.
2012 and future projections assumes a 0.5% new construction value each year.
2. The $3.60 Cap:
In addition to the 1% growth limit, the state constitution establishes the maximum regular property tax levy
for all taxing districts combined at 1%, or $10 per $1000 market value of the property. This cap is further
divided by the RCW to the various taxing districts, with the maximum regular property tax levy for most
cities at $3.375 per thousand dollars assessed valuation (AV). Cities with the Firemen's Pension Fund can
levy an additional $0.225 per thousand dollars AV, resulting in a maximum levy of $3.60 per thousand
dollars AV. This amount is allocated $0.5 for library districts, $1.50 for fire districts that do not assess the
fire benefit charge, or $1.0 for fire districts with the fire benefit charge, with the remaining amount available
to cities. Renton’s regular levy rate is subject to the $3.1 limit in 2011 due to our annexation to the King
County Library System.

Most properties in Renton pay $11.11 per $1000 AV in 2010, of which 24% or $2.71 goes to City services. The
remaining goes to the Renton School District (34%), King County (12%) for regional services, the State School
fund (20%), Valley Medical (5%), Port of Seattle (2%), and Emergency Medical Services (3%).
The table above shows the past and projected average home values, combined property tax rates, and the
portion the City receives.
SALES TAX (RCW 82.14)
Sales tax is the second largest
taxing source for Renton
representing 23% of General
Fund revenue. Similar to
property tax, the City only
receives approximately 10% of
sales tax generated within
Renton, the remaining 90% goes
to other government entities and
to support transit and public
facility agencies.
In addition to the local sales tax, the City also receives a distribution of voter approved criminal justice sales tax,
and a 0.1% annexation sales tax for the annexation of Benson/Cascade in 2008.
Renton’s economy generates over $200 million in
sales tax. The portion the City receives, including
the 0.1% of annexation credit, represents around
10% of the total. 90% of the tax is levied and
distributed to other taxing entities.

CITY OF RENTON 2011‐2012 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
Criminal Justice Sales Tax (RCW 82.14.340). This is a
0.1% voter‐approved optional sales tax in King
County, collected countywide and distributed based
on population. Because it employs a more diverse
tax base and different distribution formula than
regular sales taxes, this source is typically more
stable and is projected to grow by the inflationary
plus population growth.
Annexation Sales Tax Credit. A tool the State is
using to encourage cities to annex urban areas currently in the unincorporated counties. The tax is credited
toward the State’s portion of sales tax, so there is no
net impact on taxpayers. The credit will last 10 years
and is intended to help cities who annex large urban
areas to pay for service costs that exceeded revenue
generated in the area.
The composition of the City’s sales tax is relatively
diverse with General Retail representing the largest
portion at 35%. Service industry continues to expand
and is currently 21.6% of the total. The two areas that
were hit by the economy hardest are the Auto and
Contracting sectors. We saw their shares decreased
from 20% each in 2008 to 17.7% and 13%, respectively
in 2010. The remaining 12.6% is made up by
Wholesale (big‐box retail), Manufacturing, and other miscellaneous activities.
Like many other cities in the state, Renton’s sales tax is one of the hardest hit revenue sources by the Great
Recession. We anticipate 2010’s collection to show another 4.7% decline from 2009’s level, for a cumulative
decrease of 18% from the peak of 2008. We are projecting a 3.5% growth in 2011 and another 5.5% in 2012.
UTILITY TAXES (RCW 82.16)
Cities and towns in Washington
State are authorized to levy a
business and occupation tax on
public utility businesses based on
revenues they generate within the
city or town, known as a utility tax.
The rate of taxes for electric,
phone, and gas utilities are limited
to 6% without voter approval, with
no limitation on other public
utilities. The City currently levies
6% utility tax on phone (both
landline and cellular services), electric, natural gas, cable, all city utilities (water, sewer, storm water, and solid
waste), and transfer station.

Utility tax revenue has increased substantially over the past two years, primarily due to annexation as well as
higher energy costs. The 2010 budget projection assumes energy rates to be moderate (natural gas rate is
reduced by 17% effective October 2009); and the anticipated State Supreme Court decision which could
overturn the City’s ability to collect brokered natural gas. The long term outlook for utility tax continues to grow
at a modest rate based on the combination of inflation, population growth, and to a lesser degree, rate increase.
The exception is the landline phone service which is anticipated to stabilize at around $1 million a year while
cellular service is expected to continue to grow in data services. The table above shows detail of past and
projected utility taxes.
REAL ESTATE EXCISE TAX (REET)
The State of Washington is authorized to levy a real estate excise tax (REET) on all sales of real estate (measured
by the full selling price, including the amount of any liens, mortgages, and other debts given to secure the
purchase) at a rate of 1.28%. A locally‐imposed tax is also authorized. All cities and counties may levy a quarter
percent tax (described as "the first quarter percent of the real estate excise tax" or "REET 1"). Cities and
counties planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA) have the authority to levy a second quarter
percent tax (REET 2). The statute further specifies that if a county is required to plan under GMA or if a city is
located in such a county, the tax may be levied by a vote of the legislative body. If, however, the county chooses
to plan under GMA, the tax must be approved by a majority of the voters.
REET 1 (RCW 82.46.010):
Initially authorized in 1982, cities and counties can use the receipts of
REET 1 for all capital purposes. An amendment in 1992 states that cities
and counties with a population of 5,000 or more planning under the GMA
must spend REET 1 receipts solely on capital projects that are listed in the
capital facilities plan element of their comprehensive plan. Capital
projects are: public works projects of a local government for planning,

CITY OF RENTON 2011‐2012 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
REET 2 (RCW 82.46.035):
The second quarter percent of the real estate excise tax (authorized in 1990) provides funding for cities and
counties to finance capital improvements required to occur concurrently with growth under the Growth
Management Act. An amendment in 1992 defines the "capital project" as:
Public works projects of a local government for planning, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair,
replacement, rehabilitation, or improvement of streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting
systems, traffic signals, bridges, domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, and planning,
construction, reconstruction, repair, rehabilitation, or improvement of parks.
Because of this amendment, acquisition of park land is no longer a permitted use of REET 2 after March 1, 1992.
The combined two quarter‐percent of the REET are expected to generate $2.24 million in 2011 and $2.4 million
in 2012. Currently the revenues are primarily (83%) used for debt service and only $400,000 or 17% is currently
available for new capital projects.
GAMBLING EXCISE TAX (RCW 9.46.110 & 9.46.113)
The City levies gambling taxes at their maximum allowed level on all
activities: 5% for bingo and raffles, 2% for amusement games, 5% for
punchboards and pull‐tabs, and 20% for card rooms (RCW 9.46.110).
Revenues from these activities are required to be used primarily for the
purpose of gambling enforcement (RCW 9.46.113). Case law has clarified
that "primarily" means "first be used" for gambling law enforcement
purposes to the extent necessary for that city. The remaining funds may
be used for any general government purpose. The City receipts Gambling
Tax in the General Fund and identifies the revenue as law enforcement
resources.
The State Legislature began allowing the
operation of "enhanced card rooms" or mini‐
casinos on non‐tribal land on a pilot basis in
1997; regulations were adopted allowing
them on a permanent basis in the spring of
2000. Over the past ten years, mini‐casinos
have proliferated throughout the state and
have become a significant source of tax
revenue in jurisdictions where gambling
activities are allowed. The permission of non‐
tribal casinos has stimulated a wave of new
and/or expansion of tribal casinos as well.
The increased competition and the smoking
ban in non‐tribal establishments made it harder for non‐tribal gambling businesses to compete. The estimated
increase in 2009 is primarily due to the addition of new establishments in the Benson/Cascade annexation area
and the one‐time change in reporting period for larger taxpayers from quarterly basis to monthly. We expect
the City’s gambling tax to stabilize at around $1.6 million a year.

OVERVIEW CITY OF RENTON 2011‐2012 BIENNIAL BUDGET
LODGING TAX (RCW 67.28)
Effective 1998 most cities in King County may levy
a 1% Lodging Tax on short term overnight stays at
hotel, motel, campgrounds for tourism promotion
or for acquisition and operation of tourism‐related
facilities. This actual tax paid on overnight lodging
by typical visitors is a combination of sales tax and
lodging excise tax at 12.4% (rooms greater or
equal to 60). The City enacted the 1% lodging tax
in 1999 to fund its Tourism Promotion program.
The program is accounted for in the Lodging Tax Fund with an annual budgeted resource of around $250,000.
Effective April 1, 2009 some lodging businesses located in King County are not subject to the five‐tenths of one
percent (.005) increase in the King County Regional Transit Authority Tax (RTA).
ADMISSIONS TAX (RCW 35.21.280)
Washington cities are authorized to levy an admissions tax not to exceed
5% on admission charges to entertainment venues such as theaters, dance
halls, circus, and other activities where there is an admission charge for
entering the facility. The higher revenue in 2005 is due to a special
performance group that had their seasonal performance in Renton. The
higher projection for 2009 and beyond is due to the new movie theater in
the Landing coming online in October 2008.
LEASEHOLD TAX (RCW 82.29A)
In addition to the above taxes, the City also receives a minimal amount of
revenue from the 4% leasehold tax (RCW 82.29A). Leasehold tax is on
lease income from private business activities on tax‐exempt properties in
lieu of property taxes. The leasehold tax is the lower of 12.84% or the
equivalent property tax rate. Of the total tax rate, 4% comes to the City
and 2% goes to King County. The City receives around $100,000 a year
from this tax and uses it for general operations’ purposes.
LICENSES AND PERMITS
BUSINESS LICENSE FEE
This revenue source is a license fee based upon the number of employees a company has within Renton’s city
limits. In 1988, the City of Renton implemented its per‐employee based business license fee with the rate set at
$55 per full‐time equivalent employee in response to transportation infrastructure needs in Renton. Non‐profit
and government entities are exempt from paying this fee. The $55 per employee rate remained constant up to
this point and is generating $2.2 million annually. The City has dedicated 80% of the revenue to transportation
improvement projects, with the remaining 20% allocated to the General Fund. In addition to providing the
needed resource for infrastructure improvements, the employment information in the business license system
also provides the City with important economic condition indicators both in general economy as well as its
diversity.

CITY OF RENTON 2011‐2012 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
The table below shows all jobs from Renton employers, including non‐profits and government agencies who are
not required to pay a license fee; but excluding jobs from businesses that do not have an office in Renton (such
as construction jobs) that are subject to the license fee. The information basically tells us that while we have a
substantial drop in temporary employment in Renton based on licensing fees collected, the core local based jobs
remained relatively stable in 2009.
PERMIT AND DEVELOPMENT FEES
The City has not adjusted its development permit fees in recent years. In many cases, fees have not increased
since the late 1980s. An analysis conducted in 2009 showed the City’s development service fees lag the
neighboring communities by substantial differences. As a result, the City Council approved a general fee
increase that took effect October 2009 that would bring the City’s rates to roughly 80% of the average of the
comparable jurisdcitions. The 2010 revenue projection reflects both rate increases and projected improvements
in activity level.
FRANCHISE FEES
Franchise fees are charges levied on private
utilities to recoup the City’s costs of their use
of city streets and other public properties to
place utility infrastructure and costs of
administering the franchise. The franchise
fees on light, natural gas, and telephone
utilities are limited by statute to the actual
administrative expenses incurred by the City
directly related to receiving and approving
permits, licenses, or franchisees. Cable TV
franchise fees are governed by the Federal
Cable Communications Policy Act of 1994 and are negotiated with cable companies for an amount not to exceed
5% of gross revenues, which is the source of the City’s franchise fee revenue.

OVERVIEW CITY OF RENTON 2011‐2012 BIENNIAL BUDGET
The City’s franchise fee revenue is primarily generated from cable franchise. The increase in 2008’s and 2009’s
collections reflect the annexation activities. Long term projection is based on projected rate increases and
population growth.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES
Intergovernmental revenues include state‐
shared revenues, governmental grants and
miscellaneous transfers, and inter‐
governmental service contracts such as the Fire
and Emergency Services contracts with Fire
Districts 25 and 40. The following information
is primarily intergovernmental revenues in the
City’s operating funds. There are also
substantial grants in capital project funds
particularly in transportation improvement
projects.
The state‐shared revenues are from taxes and
fees collected by the State and disbursed to municipalities
based on population or other criteria. In the past, the
primary sources of these shared revenues are fuel tax (tax on
gasoline consumption), liquor sales profit, and excise tax.
This resource once provided 14% of the City’s operational
funds, but has decreased to less than 7%, mainly due to the
elimination of the MVET and the King County vehicle license
fee. The remaining intergovernmental revenues are fuel
taxes, liquor tax and profit, and the criminal justice
distribution.
The increase in 2008’s Contract reflects the 10‐month contract with Fire District 40 that started March 1, 2008
after the Benson/Cascade Annexation. 2009 is the first full year of the contract.
The increase in 2008’s grants and miscellaneous transfers includes the transfer from King County Library System
and a $705,000 equipment grant the Fire Department received. The projected 2010 through 2012’s grants
include the 3‐year COPS Rehiring Grant the City received as part of the stimulus package.
CHARGE FOR SERVICES
The charge for services is revenues generated from services provided to the general public (including recreation
fees, building permit fees, land use fees, and surface water fees). This source is projected to generate
$5.7 million each year.
POLICE AND COURT SERVICES
Police and court services’ revenue includes private security, jail, electric
home detention, passport processing, and miscellaneous services.
Projected 2010 revenue decreases primarily reflects the decrease in
private security service for construction projects, lower passport
processing volume from reduced service hours, and reduced probation
revenue from the reduction of probation clerk positions.

CITY OF RENTON 2011‐2012 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
PARKS AND RECREATION FEES
Overall, recreation fees are generated from recreation classes, athletic
programs, leagues and field rentals, senior activity center, community
center, and aquatic center fees and rentals. The revenue is projected at
$2.3 million for 2010, which is 2% under 2009’s budget, but is consistent
with anticipated 2009’s actual. The reduction in recreation revenues is
due to the reduction in service hours and programs as part of the
adopted budget reduction. Long term projection is based on projected
population increases.
INTER‐FUND SERVICES
The inter‐fund service charges represent reimbursements from
enterprise fund’s (utilities, golf course, airport, etc.) operations for
accounting, human resources, records management, legal, and
administration expenses. The charge is determined through an indirect
cost allocation model using transaction volume, full‐time employees,
and size of budget as determining factors.
The revenue is projected at $3 million for 2010, which is 10% below
2009’s budget due to the formation of facilities and communications
internal service funds that recover costs from all City’s operations, not
just enterprise operations. This resulted in a reduction in the amount of
the General Fund cost and recovery. Future projection is based on the projected general City’s operating cost
increases.
FINES AND FORFEITS
Fines and forfeits account for civil and
criminal penalties as authorized by the
state and adopted by the City code and
collected through the Renton Municipal
Court.
The City implemented the Photo‐
Enforcement system at the high collision
intersections and at school zones during
the fall of 2008, and 2009 revenue reflects
the first full year’s operation of the system.
The fines and forfeiture revenue declined
by 8% in 2010 from 2009, which is
primarily attributable to reduced photo enforcement revenue as local residents and businesses become more
aware of the enforcement zones and have shown reduced speed and red‐light violations.

OVERVIEW CITY OF RENTON 2011‐2012 BIENNIAL BUDGET
MISCELLANEOUS REVENUES
Miscellaneous revenues includes interest income, cellular tower site
rentals, donations, sales of documents, etc. The majority of the revenue is
investment interest income. With the tightened lending criteria, higher
FDIC insurance fees, and the increase of the state’s public deposit
collateral requirement, banks in the State of Washington do not need, and
are not willing to pay much for deposits from public entities. Some banks
are not accepting new public deposits at all. As a result, we anticipate the
future miscellaneous revenues will remain at a lower level than what we
have experienced in the past few years.
Enterprise Funds
UTILITY RATES
Water and Sewer Rates – The
water, sewer, and storm sewer
rates fund most of the costs
associated with providing these
services as well as necessary capital
replacements in our community.
Other sources include hookup fees,
other development charges, grants,
etc. are also available but are
restricted for capital purposes only.
Due to the increased costs to
maintain the systems, regulatory
requirements, and higher general
operating costs, the City is
reviewing the policies guiding these rates.
Rate Related Fiscal Policy:
Rate studies conducted in 2006 recommended adjustments to 2007 rates as well as future years to maintain
services and provide capital investments. As a result, the City adjusted the utility rates over the past three years
but not to the degree recommended by the study. During the summer of 2010, the City Council
affirmed/adopted a set of fiscal policies to guide future rate setting which includes:

CITY OF RENTON 2011‐2012 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
1) Establish combined operating and rate stabilization reserve at 12% for each of the piped utilities, and
fixed dollar amount for solid waste and the pass‐through Metro sewer treatment charge based on actual
cash flow requirements;
2) Maintain debt service reserve based on the highest one‐year debt service payment requirement;
3) Establish capital financing policy that:
a. Uses rate revenue to finance system replacement;
b. Only uses bond financing for system and capacity expansion, major transmission, and storage
system improvements.
Of these policies, the new capital financing policy will have the most important long term effect on the system’s
financial integrity and sustainability and would require a substantial rate increase to provide for consistent
system replacement/reinvestment. The resulting preliminary rate adjustments have been approved by the
Council in October 2010, and even with the adopted increases Renton’s utility rates continue to compare
favorably among our peer cities. The rate comparison chart illustrates Renton’s adopted 2011 rate for a typical
single‐family residence compared with similar service costs in neighboring jurisdictions.
In addition to the adopted City’s rate increases, King County Metro that provides sewer treatment is proposing a
13% rate increase in 2011 and no increase in 2012.
Golf Fees – The City’s Maplewood Golf Course
Fund was created by Ordinance 3884 in 1985.
Maplewood Golf Course is owned and operated
by the City. The golf course is also a water utility
resource as it is the location of city wells that
provide drinking water to our community. The
use of this space as a golf course helps preserve
the quality of the well water for future
generations.
The course is managed by the Community
Services Department and is operated as a
separate enterprise fund of the City. It is
anticipated that user fees from customers will
pay the operating and capital costs of the golf course, including debt service for 1994 revenue bonds to improve
the course and the clubhouse. The City decided to retire the remaining balance of $1.85 million on December 1,
2010 with an interfund loan at the true interest cost of 2.24%. This would reduce the annual debt service from
$460,000 to around $430,000 per year, for the next five years. This also eliminates the requirement of providing
debt service reserve or debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 that the Golf Course has not been able to maintain.
The comparative rates chart to the right illustrates that
the Renton course rates are comparative with the
market. These rates are weekend rates for 18 holes of
golf. The adopted increase would bring the City’s rate
to $37, in line with the other courses in the South King
County area.

A GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY PROGRAM
Introduction
Renton Results is the City of Renton’s performance management initiative originated in 2007 to clearly
illustrate the services provided by the City of Renton, the resources needed to provide these services,
and the results of the service efforts to facilitate policy decisions and provide accountability to the
community. Services are categorized into six service areas:
1. Safety & Health: services that make Renton a safe and healthy community.
2. Representative Government: services that engage community in policy development and
provide access to fair individual representation in community and personal matters.
3. Livable Community: programs and amenities that address community needs making Renton a
place where people want to live, work, play, and visit.
4. Mobility: services to plan, construct, and maintain systems such as roadways, sidewalks, trails,
paths, and related components, to enable residents, visitors, employees, as well as freight and
commercial activities to move in, around, and through the City efficiently and safely.
5. Utilities & Environment: services that protect the environment and empower its citizens to be
engaged in sustainability programs.
6. Internal Support: services that enhance the ability of the organization to function efficiently and
effectively.
Renton Results - Renton Results Overview 2 - 1
2011-2012 Budget Development Framework
We took the Renton Results initiative to its next step by inviting community members to help with the
2011-2012 budget priorities. This newly formed Community Budget Advisory (CBA) group is tasked with
providing advisory recommendations to the Mayor in the following areas:
• Do the core services provided by the City meet the community’s
priorities?
• As a customer of city services, which of the services
we provide do you view as most and least
important?
• Is the City pursuing the “right” results for
the Renton community?
In addition, six Service Area Teams made up of 62 mid-
management staff regrouped to review and revise the
desired results, identify the strategies services to focus on
to achieve these results, and refine the key result
indicators to help us to measure how well we are
achiveing these results. An added task this year is for the
teams to review performance measures for each service program proposal
to ensure the program level performance measurers are constinte with the desired results for the area.
Advisory Team Recommendations
Overall the CBA group’s recommendation is very consistent with the internal prioritizations used in prior
budget developments. They also identified a number of specific areas, both for short term and longer-
term resource conservation considerations:
• Reduce administrative and overhead functions and costs wherever possible;
• Implement a process improvement program to identify cost saving and efficiency improvement
opportunities;
• Focus on total cost of compensation in personnel costs; and when applicable, include private
sector comparisons in setting compensations.
Resources Allocation by Service Area
Renton Results program expenses are presented as consolidated costs across departments and funds.
Within Renton Results, we have adjusted for transfers and interfund transactions when double counting
occurs in traditional “Fund” based budgeting. As a result, the dollar amounts for Renton Results and the
traditional budget are not the same. For example, the costs of the City’s internal service funds are
shown under “Internal Support” category and are also included in the direct service areas by those that
use these internal services. To compensate for this, we are deducting the amount that has been
accounted for in direct services at the bottom line level to show the net operating and capital budget
only in the Renton Results section. The Budget by Department and by Fund sections, however, would
Renton Results - Renton Results Overview 2 - 2
include such transfers and inter-fund transactions. Therefore, a reconciliation is shown to reconcile the
Renton Results resources to the total “legal appropriations” in the Budget by Fund section.
Also important to note is that we have included city-wide obligations in the internal support service
area. For the 2011 programs, these include $4.7 million in general obligation debt service payments,
$2.2 million in post retirement medical benefits for retirees in Law Enforcement and Fire Fighters I
pension system (LEOFF 1) and $.44 million of city-wide payroll tax and benefit costs that are not
allocated into budgeted positions. Without these costs, the overall 2011 Internal Support costs are
2.61% of the $149.9 million operating budget and 2.05% of the $191.1 million total budget.
The following charts describe the percent of City resources dedicated to each of these service areas, the
percent of operating City resources (excluding CIP, Transfers and Interfund Transactions) dedicated to
each of these service areas, and the adopted staffing levels of each of the service areas.

person per year vs. $1,724 at the 2012 adopted level, based on 2010’s population count. Without the
debt service, retiree medical obligation, and separation benefits, the per capita internal support cost
would be at around $45.4 per year for 2011 and $36.5 per year for 2012.

For local agencies, more and more court cases
seem to involve public records and public
disclosure, as can be read on the MRSC website
under Court Decisions. Public records not
handled properly can be very costly. If the
addition of this half-time position helped prevent
even one lawsuit for the City, it would more than
pay for itself.
