The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)
presented an award of Distinguished Budget Presentation to the City of Renton for its
annual budget for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011. 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 two years. We believe this
budget continues to conform to program requirements and we will submit the final
2013/2014 Budget to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award.

BUDGET MESSAGE TO COUNCIL
October 15, 2012 (Final)
I appreciate this opportunity to present to you our biennial budget proposal for
2013‐2014.
I’ll start with some good news. The nation’s economy is showing signs of
improvement.
More good news is that our city, unlike many other jurisdictions, remains healthy
and we continue to take necessary steps to protect the interests of our residents.
Thanks to your support and leadership over the past several years, we have made
difficult decisions to address the challenges of providing city services with
reduced revenues and personnel. Our challenges are not over.
As you know, government revenues lag behind the regular marketplace. This
budget proposal reflects a continued erosion of operating revenues over the next
two years, much of this due to property values that have declined, which
represent nearly one third of our general fund dollars.
Over the next two years, our preliminary estimates project a $5 million dollar per
year shortfall of revenues against rising costs of doing business.
With the help of our employees and unions, I’m presenting you with a balanced
budget proposal that meets these revenue shortfalls, with minimal employee
layoffs. It does require additional staff reductions, but we’re able to manage this
almost entirely by not filling open positions. We are also proposing some
increased fees.
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 1
The total proposed two‐year budget for 2013 and 2014 is $457 million, of which
$202 million is the General Government fund that is used for police, fire and
emergency services, parks, street repair, and other city services.
The last few times that I have presented the city’s budget to you, we were in the
midst of one of the gravest economic recessions in history that created a fiscal
crisis for the entire nation.
We have addressed the economic challenges to our city and I believe we’re on a
course to recovery.
Because of our strategic investments in economic development, our commitment
to reforms and the fiscal disciplines we have put into place, the city’s financial
situation is stable. We’re beginning to see improvement.
Businesses in Renton are beginning to recover and grow. And we continue to
provide an environment that attracts new businesses to our city.
We have worked to recruit new employers and support existing ones. We have
had 200 new firms locate in Renton this past year and 6,000 new jobs have been
added in our community over the past two years. King County Elections returned
to Renton and the Washington State Auto Dealers Association will be constructing
a new building for their offices on SW Grady Way.
Commercial vacancy rates have remained significantly low, compared with other
cities in the Puget Sound region.
And The Landing continues to add new businesses every month. In addition to
Cost Plus and several new restaurants and other firms, some existing businesses
are expanding into additional space. Sales for The Landing businesses are up
nearly 15% over last year, and 92% of the Fairfield Apartments at The Landing
have now been leased.
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 2
Housing sales are improving, including new construction. Permit revenues are 9%
higher than this time last year. There has been a significant increase in housing
starts and since January of this year we have received permit requests for 380
new single family homes.
As you know, one of our biggest news items this year was The Boeing Company’s
announcement to build the 737 MAX in Renton. With a goal to increase
production of the 737 Next Generation plane to 42 airplanes per month by 2014,
we have already seen nearly 1,500 new jobs added to the Renton Plant and it’s
predicted that Boeing will add hundreds of additional jobs over the next couple
years.
Despite some of this positive news, we continue to face budget challenges. What
hit local government hard at the beginning of the recession was the plunge in
sales tax revenues. Our other primary source of funding is from property tax,
which constitutes nearly 30% of our General Fund. Property tax assessments lag
behind the market by two years and have dropped significantly. Therefore the
2013 assessed value, based on 2011 market value of homes, is projected to
decline by 4 1/2%. This will reduce the city’s property tax revenue by $1.9 million
annually.
We will also no longer have the use of federal public safety grants that were
available during the recession. We were able to use these grants to save 15
positions in the police and fire departments. These grants have now expired,
which negatively impacts our 2013 – 2014 budget by $1.5 million.
At the same time our revenues continue to fall, we face increased costs for the
state retirement system and other overhead expenses.
With these reduced revenues and increased costs, our preliminary projections
indicated that maintaining current levels of services in General Government
Operations would result in a deficit of $5 million per year in this budget period.
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 3
Once again this year we recruited a group of citizens and business owners to
review our budget process and provide us with input, making sure that our values
and priorities align with those of our community. The Community Budget
Advisory Group, comprised of local residents, business owners, and community
leaders, met over a period of several weeks with city department heads and our
finance department. In addition to examining our preliminary budget projections,
this group had an opportunity to review several of the policies and programs that
we instituted during the last budget process, based on recommendations from
the previous advisory group. In addition, they provided invaluable input that has
helped guide us through the current budget.
This budget reflects several key priorities and suggestions for cost savings
recommended by the advisory group this year. I want to thank each one of the
advisors for all the effort they put into assisting us during this budget process.
In order to balance our budget, we’re proposing a three‐pronged approach to
bring our expenditures in line with our revenue projections through the next
biennium.
First, we are once again reducing our operating costs through additional
reductions in staffing.
Second, we have negotiated cost‐saving reforms to reduce medical
premium costs in partnership with our employees and unions.
And third, we have identified a couple of revenue options that will help
us close the gap for this two‐year period while maintaining quality levels
of service to our citizens.
As you know, the city has already made significant cuts during the past few years
to balance our budgets, including the reduction of staffing levels, while our
population has grown by 56% percent – from 60,000 in 2007 to nearly 94,000
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 4
this year. Today’s proposed budget reduces our workforce by an additional 25
positions, bringing an overall reduction in our workforce to nearly 15% of what we
had in 2008.
We are achieving most of the staff reductions through attrition to avoid layoffs. In
order to minimize the impacts these cuts will have on service levels to our
citizens, we have made organizational changes, reorganized job responsibilities,
focused on efficiency, and embraced technology.
Unfortunately, in addition to the attrition, we are forced to lay off a couple
positions. We’ve made reductions in areas where the workload has dropped to
minimize the impact to the public. Eliminating some of these positions also
reflects a reduction in our administrative and overhead costs, which was one of
the recommendations from our citizen budget advisory board.
Another significant cost savings we have for this budget period is a reduction of
our medical costs. By increasing employees’ contributions, and reducing the
amount the city is required to contribute to the medical premium, we are saving
nearly $3 million in costs during this biennium.
These significant savings would not have come without the help of our employee
unions. They worked hard and collaborated with us to find a way to reduce costs
and save jobs.
It’s important to note that there have been impacts from the cuts that we have
made these past few years. We’ve worked hard to set our priorities and cut our
costs while focusing on efficiency. But some areas that have been cut, including
required capital and maintenance, are not sustainable indefinitely. And we’re at a
point where we need additional resources in order to preserve our assets.
Watching our spending and improving efficiency has been essential. But we have
also had to explore some revenue options, especially in areas that have not been
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 5
adjusted for many years. Our proposal to you will help us generate about $1.3
million per year.
Renton prides itself in having among the lowest fees in the county for most of the
services we offer. We’ve kept these fees unchanged for many years despite the
steep increase in the cost of doing business. This was possible due to the
significant building boom the nation and our region was experiencing that helped
to fund ongoing services.
This budget proposes some fee adjustments that will have minimum impact on
our customers and at the same time allow us to continue to provide quality
services. Our fees will remain lower than most comparable cities in the region.
One adjustment proposal is for our business license fee. This will be the first
increase to this fee since 1988.
The city will dedicate 80% of the revenue generated from this fee to
transportation improvement investments and major maintenance including the
preservation and enhancement of parks and facilities that are in need of repair.
New growth and development in our city creates additional demand and need for
public facilities. We have established an impact fee where a proportionate share
of the cost of transportation, parks, and fire protection needed for these new
developments is paid for by the developers. We plan to phase in these impact
fees over a five‐year period, and not until 2014 when the economy will be
stronger.
This budget also includes a medical transport fee to transport patients to a
medical facility by the Renton Fire Department. Currently, private ambulance
companies provide most of these transports and charge the patient’s insurance
firms. We would also charge insurance companies directly. However, having
insurance coverage will not play a role in determining when a patient is to be
transported by a fire aid unit or private ambulance.
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 6
This budget reflects a lot of collaboration and partnership with our community,
allowing us to enhance public amenities despite budget constraints.
A great example of a recent partnership is the joint development project to build
an inclusive children's playground to serve the entire community, including
children with special needs. This unique playground is made possible thanks to a
public/private collaboration between the city, Renton School District, Renton
Housing Authority, Renton Rotary, Renton Lions Club and other service
organizations. Thanks to the funds raised by our partners, this much needed
public amenity will soon be a reality.
Another example of a unique partnership that greatly enhances our service
delivery while saving costs and generating revenue is an innovative project
between the city’s Carco Theatre and Puget Sound Access, operators of the city’s
Channel 21. Puget Sound Access is a local non‐profit organization specializing in
cable, communications and media technology. Besides Renton, they provide
multi‐media services for organizations such as the ShoWare Center and various
government agencies.
Beginning next year, they will lease space at Carco Theater and assume the
marketing and management functions. Under this arrangement, Carco Theatre
will increase the number of customer rentals and will expand its multi‐media
offerings to its customers. The city will save on the costs related to theater
operations, and at the same time receive additional revenue from the lease and
enhance its cable operations. The public will enjoy a more modern theater with
several multi‐media options.
In addition to managing within our financial means and working to improve
productivity and efficiency, it’s imperative that we maintain our parks and
facilities, roads and utility infrastructure for our children and our grandchildren.
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 7
We have started a $42 million dollar redevelopment project on Rainier Avenue
South, funded largely by state and federal grants. Rainier Avenue South serves as
the major north‐south thoroughfare through Renton. When completed, the
Rainier Avenue Improvement Project will result in a safer and more attractive
gateway to our city and business community. The project will improve transit
mobility, upgrade traffic safety, and enhance pedestrian safety with new 8‐foot
wide sidewalks, attractive landscaping, and improved street lighting.
We also broke ground on phase 1 of the SW 27th Street/Strander Boulevard
Connection. This project includes a new railway bridge and a two‐lane roadway
that will provide access for Renton residents to the future Sound Transit
Commuter Rail Station in Tukwila.
No update on our investments would be complete without mentioning our Sunset
Area Community Investment. The public and private capital investments in that
area have totaled over $41 million to date.
Recently we celebrated the opening of the Glenwood Townhomes, a new eight‐
unit housing development, which is the beginning of creating a more attractive
and vibrant community for local residents and businesses. We believe this project
will provide a stimulus for other public and private development in the Sunset
Area.
We continue to invest in our streets and infrastructure. But investing in the safety
of our city has continued to be my priority.
Crime rate as measured by crimes per thousand has decreased by double digits
over the last three years. Currently our crime rate is one of the lowest in South
King County. But crime rates alone don’t measure things that are under our
control. As a city, we are committed to finding creative ways to reduce criminal
activity and to make people feel safe throughout our community.
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 8
Our efforts have been effective at reducing negative impacts in several areas of
the city. Despite reductions in staffing, our police officers have successfully
targeted repeat offenders and focused resources on neighborhoods experiencing
high levels of criminal and dangerous activity.
We were successful at helping to close down a local restaurant and bar that was
the site of many serious offenses that created fear for families living nearby. And
the council provided new tools through ordinances, giving the city and our police
a means to target property owners who continually allow criminal activity to take
place, impacting the neighborhoods.
Our fire department has made sure that our response time to residents needing
help has not been impacted, despite reduced resources, and we continue to help
our citizens to be prepared in the event of a major disaster.
I’d like to turn your attention now to West Hill. As you know, on November 6,
residents in West Hill will be able to vote and choose whether they would like to
annex to the City of Renton or remain part of unincorporated King County.
This annexation poses a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge is to provide
the services needed with the resources available; the opportunity is to transform
West Hill into a safe urban center where residents and businesses thrive.
If the residents vote to annex, we will work closely with King County and our state
representatives to find solutions to the current financial gap. This budget does not
include revenues and expenditure projections for West Hill.
Renton is defined by the excellent quality of life that we enjoy in our city. We
proudly state in our business plan that we are the center of opportunity in the
Puget Sound area where families and businesses thrive.
A huge part of this success is due to the great programs and services that we
continue to provide despite significant personnel and budget cuts, which is a
Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1 - 9
testament to the committed efforts by our dedicated employees. These
programs and services contribute to a safe, healthy, and vibrant community for
our citizens.
Providing recreational opportunities is important for a healthy community. Our
parks, facilities, trails and golf course continue to receive praise from the public.
Our world class recreational programs still offer something for everyone,
regardless of age or ability.
Serving unique populations in our city is important. Our summer lunch program
serves hundreds of children in need, and our Housing Repair Assistance Program
has helped elderly and low‐income residents stay in their homes and retain their
independence. This budget maintains these vital programs.
Community‐building programs strengthen our neighborhoods and promote
awareness. Our award‐winning Neighborhood Program now has 72 recognized
neighborhoods representing thousands of Renton residents. Over 5,300 people
attended neighborhood events and picnics this summer. This budget includes
$73,000 in grant funds that give neighborhoods the opportunity to invest in their
communities.
Events that promote our city help our local economy. Our Farmers Market
enjoyed a record attendance this past summer with over 4,000 people a week.
The Seahawks Training Camp brought over 21,000 people to Renton during the
summer. And festivals and events, from the Seattle International Film Festival to
the Fourth of July celebration, IKEA Renton River Days, Return‐to‐Renton Car
Show and Clam Lights at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, all experienced
record crowds.
These programs and events bring tremendous value to our citizens. They also
bring tourists and visitors to our restaurants and stores. They fill hotel rooms and
provide entertainment for our families, while boosting the local economy.

2013‐2014 Budget Highlights
Budget Overview
Projected Budget Gap
A Balanced Approach in
Balancing the Budget
The total adopted 2013‐14 budget has revenue of $462.6 million and a
total expenditure of $457.3 million. The revenue is an approximate
3.0% increase over the 2011‐12 estimated actual, or 5% over the
2011‐12 adopted budget. The expenditure is 5.2% below the
estimated total for 2011‐12 and 2.8% above the adopted 2011‐12
budget.
We started the budget with a built‐in deficit due to an anticipated
decline in revenues: lower property tax collections due to the decline
of home values; the expiration of public safety grants that funded 15
police officers and firefighters; a one‐year elimination of state liquor
excise tax and minor reductions in other state shared revenues; and a
reduction in the service contract with Fire District 25, caused by the
District’s declining property tax. Combined, these factors put our
2013 General Fund 2.4% below the revenues we will receive in 2012.
We also faced pressure on the cost side: the contribution rate to the
state retirement system is set to increase from 7.25% today to 9.1% (a
25% increase) for 63% of the city’s workforce in mid‐year 2013;
employee healthcare premiums continue to grow at a much faster
pace than inflation; the cost to preserve and update our buildings and
other structures that can no longer be deferred; higher fuel costs to
operate city vehicles; higher utility rates for street lights, parks lighting
and irrigation, and city facilities; and the cost of training and
development of our workforce to prepare the organization for the
future. Combined, cost increases will add $2.5 million or 2.5% in costs
to the General Fund alone, and more citywide.
To balance this gap, the Administration used a three‐pronged
approach:
1. The adopted budget will reduce 25.2 positions citywide over the
biennium. 20.2 of these positions are in the General Fund, which
includes 3 police officers and 6 firefighter positions that will be
held vacant. The remaining 5 positions include 2 in the Enterprise
Fund (surface water), and 3 in Internal service funds
(Communications, IT, and Facilities.) To minimize layoffs,
reductions are almost entirely done through attrition.
2. The adopted budget will freeze the city’s contribution to employee
medical plan for one year (no increase in 2013), and includes a
one‐time premium holiday for $1.3 million, for a combined savings
of over $4 million over the biennium.
3. The adopted budget includes three revenue adjustments that will
generate around $1.2 million annually when combined. These
Executive Summary - 2013/2014 Budget Highlights 1 - 13
adjustments include: an increase in business license fees; an
increase in inter‐fund utility taxes; and a basic life support
transport fee.
The position reduction and change in healthcare insurance premiums
will generate $4.5 million and $3.2 million in savings for 2013 and
2014, respectively.
The new/increased revenue will help us restore capital funding and
partially preserve the grant funded public safety positions.
The adopted 2013‐2014 budget is balanced; it will set aside $1.3
million a year for General Governmental Capital purposed for major
maintenance and preservation of our existing facilities and it will
restore $52k annually for employee training and development
purposes.
Past Actions
2008: $5 M midyear savings
2009: $6M/33 positions &
$4M cuts midyear
2010: $6M/50.2 positions
2011‐12: $2M per year & 4.5
positions
Since 2008, the city’s General Fund has reduced its regular and
seasonal staffing by a total of 83.6, or 12%, and has reduced
expenditures by $21 million as a result of the Great Recession. Some
of these changes were one‐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 2013‐2014 budget.
The additional 25‐position reduction will bring the total staff reduction
to 109 positions. The additional $3.5 million ongoing expenditure
reduction will bring the ongoing cost savings to $15.5 million, or about
15%, of the city’s budget.
Fund Balance
The overall adopted revenues exceed the adopted expenditure by
$5.2 million and resulted in a projected overall fund balance of $59
million.
The increase in the fund balance is attributable to the water and
sewer utility funds. These funds are accumulating balances for
upcoming utility capital projects that cannot be funded within the
current year’s resources.
The General Fund balance will be maintained at $10.75 million, or just
below 11% of General Fund expenditures. This is slightly below the
12% target, but greater than the 8% minimum required by our fiscal
policy.
In addition to this balance in the General Fund, the city will continue
to maintain the $5 million catastrophic reserve in the Risk
Management Fund and a well funded equipment replacement
reserve. These reserves and fund balances would provide an
additional safety net.
The current employee Healthcare Insurance Fund will see its balance
decline by nearly $2 million from over $7 million to $5.2 million at the
Executive Summary - 2013/2014 Budget Highlights 1 - 14
end of this biennium due to the adopted change in contribution rates
and premium reductions.
The LEOFF I retiree medical benefit fund has a balance of $5.4 million
and is set up to accumulate funds to amortize the actuarially
determined future obligations of $27 million.
Overall, the city is in sound financial condition.
General Government
Overview
2013 Property Tax will be
lower than 2012 due to
declining home values during
the Great Recession.
Most revenue sources have
stabilized but the growth
remains below the historical
norm.
Of the $457.3 million total budget, $202.4 million is for the city’s
General Fund. The $202.4 million revenue is an increase of 2.1% over
the adopted 2011‐12 budget. But when compared with the adjusted
2011‐12 budget1 and the estimated actual, the 2013‐14 revenue is
slightly ($140k or 0.07%) lower.
The lower revenue, as mentioned previously, is part of the reason for
the budget gap. It is primarily due to reduced property tax caused by
the decline in home values during the Great Recession. The median
home value has dropped by 33% in Renton, with overall assessed
values reduced by 18% from the peak of 2009 to 2012. This steep
decline in home values pushed the city’s tax rate to the statutory limit
of $3.10 per $1,000 of assessed value. The 2013 valuation is expected
to decline again by 4.5%, resulting in a loss of $1.5 million in baseline
property tax revenue. We are projecting improved valuation of
existing homes based on current market conditions, which will allow
us to recover part of the 2013 decline in property taxes by 2014.
Also contributing to the lower revenue is the expiration of grants that
helped us restore a total of 15 public safety positions over the past
three years.
Due to the loss of these revenues combined with the slower than
normal recovery, the projected revenue for 2013 is 2.4% less
than2012, and 2014 is only 3.2% above 2013. This is below historical
growth trends, and well below any recovery period after previous
recessions.
Sales tax is projected to grow by 3.5% annually, or 1.5% real growth on
top of the projected 2% annual inflation.
Expenditures
Typically we would compare the adopted budget with the adopted
budget in the previous biennium, but the 2011‐12 adopted budget
(total $198.3 million) did not include the nine SAFER grant positions
that were awarded in 2011, and also under‐budgeted police staffing
cost by $540k per year caused by a budget error that was corrected
during 2011. Therefore the comparison with the adjustment budget
would be more appropriate in this case.
1 Excluding the $10.3 million in refunding bonds proceeds and payment to the escrow agent for refinancing 2002
bonds.
Executive Summary - 2013/2014 Budget Highlights 1 - 15
The $202.4 million expenditure budget is $800k, or 0.4%, below the
2011‐12 adjusted budget. Included in the 2013‐14 adopted budget is
a $520k increase in Storm Drainage Fees paid by the Street Fund to
the Storm Drainage Utility fund to cover city street/sidewalk areas
that have not been adjusted for many years, which was discovered
recently. A corresponding investment interest charge is budgeted
from the Storm Drainage Fund to the Street Fund to recognize the $52
million storm drainage system assets that were initially transferred
from the Street Fund. If this change were removed, the expenditure
budget of $201.3 million is $1.8 million, or just under 1%, below the
2011‐12 adjusted budget.
The adopted expenditures reflect a reduction of nearly $4 million each
year from the baseline expenditures to continue current operations
into next biennium.. This is done through trimming 20‐plus positions
(average $2 million a year); freezing healthcare premiums and
applying a one‐time premium reduction that will save $2.9 million in
General Fund ($4 million citywide) over the two years or an average of
$1.45 million per year; and reducing the contribution to LEOFF I
retiree medical based on a current actuarial study (from $2.2M per
year to $1.7M per year), which allowed us to only offset the base cost
increases to the General Fund.
The adopted changes are discussed in more detail in the following
sections.
Executive
Reductions:
2 FTEs
Addition:
$80,000 in public defense
contract based on current
agreement.
The Executive Department budget reflects a reduction of two
additional positions, the Assistant CAO position, and a
Communications Specialist position. Cumulatively the department
reduced six positions (from 15 FTE to 9 FTE), or a 40% reduction over
the past 5 years, including the conversion of the Hearing Examiner
function to contracted service.
The new State Supreme Court mandate to reduce public defense
attorney caseload effective September 2013 will likely to have an
impact on the city’s cost in the public defense contract. The full
extent of the cost is not yet known. Staff is working on a number of
measures to control this cost to minimize potential impact. The $80k
increase is only to recognize additional cost under the current
contract.
Court Services
Reduction:
1.5 FTE in 2013 additional
2 FTE by the end of 2014
The Court Services Department will reduce its staffing by 0.5 Probation
Officer and 1 Judicial Specialist in 2013; and 2 more Judicial Specialists
by the end of 2014. Cumulatively the Court Services will reduce their
staffing by 20%.
The adopted staff reduction is primarily to reflect the lower number of
cases filed (25% overall decline from the peak in 2010), and the
process improvement/automation project that is under way. This is
anticipated to save over $225k per year.
Executive Summary - 2013/2014 Budget Highlights 1 - 16
Revenue:
$40k in parking fines
In addition, the Court has implemented a modest increase in parking
ticket fines, from $35 to $45 per violation for regular parking tickets
and from $45 to $55 for violations at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach
Park; this is expected to raise an additional $40k in court revenue
annually.
City Attorney The City Attorney Department will decrease its line item budget by
$10k per year and will recover billable time associated to capital
projects for $25k.
The City Attorney’s office is requesting to increase the hours worked
of the only paralegal position from 30 hours to 35 hours a week, or an
increase of 0.13 FTE. Even with this increase, the department’s
support staff is still well below other comparable cities.
In addition, the adopted budget will move the City Attorney’s office
from leased space into City Hall for an annual savings of $90,000. A
one‐time tenant improvement cost of $160,000 is required to ready
the space and provide for moving expenses.
Reduction:
($10,036)
Revenue:
$25k internal legal fee charge
Addition:
0.13 FTE
$160k Tenant Improvement
CED
Reduction:
3.0 FTE
The Department of Community and Economic Development (CED) will
reduce its positions by 3 FTE including one Code Enforcement Officer,
one Administrative Assistant, and the elimination of the Planning
Director position with the responsibilities assumed by the CED
Administrator. The Department has two Limited Term Inspectors
positions expiring at the end of 2012 which may need to be extended
due to project schedules. These positions are fully funded with project
reimbursements.
Cumulatively, the Department has reduced its staffing level by 23, or
34%, excluding the transfers of the Neighborhood and Farmers Market
programs to the Community Services Department. The reductions
were made due to the decrease in development activities. As the
permit activity improves, there will be the need to restore some of
these positions to maintain reasonable service levels.
Community Services
Reduction:
2.8 FTE
Facility Major Maintenance:
$138k (from $497k to $359k)
Neighborhood Programs:
$20k (from $93k to $73k)
The Community Services department will reduce staffing by 1
Secretary, 1 Maintenance Custodian, and a Recreation Specialist
position due to the change in the CARCO Theater operation. A result
of department reorganization, Recreation Services will operate North
Highlands Neighborhood Center with its current staff from Highlands
Community Center, and increase a 0.8 FTE Supervisor position to full
time by reducing part‐time help. Cumulatively, the department has
reduced regular staffing by 10.8 FTE or 9% and intermittent resources
by an equivalent of 11 FTE or 25%.
The city is negotiating a lease with a non‐profit organization for the
use of the CARCO Theater. The transition is expected to take place in
the last fourth quarter of 2012 and in early 2013.
In addition, in order to balance the budget, the adopted budget will
Executive Summary - 2013/2014 Budget Highlights 1 - 17
reduce the amount budgeted in prior years for facility major
maintenance and for the neighborhood grant programs. These
adjustments will bring the budget more in line with historical spending
in these programs.
In the human service area, the Limited Term Housing Repair
Technician position that has been funded in the past two years with
carryover capital Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) will
end with funding at the end of 2012.
Addition:
Increase in utility costs
May Creek & River View
Bridge Habitat monitoring
Additional Right‐of‐Way and
Natural Area Maintenance
A number of increases in operating costs in the Community Services
Department need to be addressed as well. Responsible for operating
all city buildings and parks, Community Services must budget for
associated utility rate increases. This includes increases in parks
lighting and irrigation ($59k/$62k for 2013/14, respectively) and utility
costs for city facilities ($28k/$48k for 2013/14) for a combined total
increase of $87k in 2013 and $110k in 2014.
Also affecting the department’s budget are increased responsibilities
from newly acquired properties or improvements. The 5‐year habitat
monitoring requirement for May Creek commencing in 2013 will be
funded by reallocating existing resources; and commencing 2014,
$7,500 in new funding is required for the habitat monitoring for the
Riverview bridge project. Additional right‐of‐way improvements and
the transfer of the Cleveland‐Richardson Life Estate to the city mean
more vegetation maintenance contract expenditures. A portion of the
expenditures will be funded by reallocating existing resources ($15k),
and the new funding requested is estimated at $3,100 in 2013 &
$7,100 in 2014.
Also requested is $3,000 for an urban forestry software maintenance
contract to facilitate the maintenance of over 132,270 street, park,
natural area, and facility trees.
Fire & Emergency Services
Reduction:
Hold 6 of the 9 grant funded
Fire Fighter positions vacant
Public safety has always been the top priority for the city and the
budget reductions over the past five years have largely left public
safety departments intact. With these 6 positions, the cumulative
reduction for the Department will be 10 FTE (previously eliminated a
Deputy Chief position, a Lead Inspector, a Fire Inspector I position, and
a Communications Specialist), or 6% of its force. These 6 Firefighters
were part of the 9 positions restored with SAFER grant funds in 2011,
in hope of stronger revenue growth to make them sustainable. But
the slow pace of revenue growth and the reduction in Fire District 25
contract revenue requires them to be kept vacant after the grant
expires. The remaining 3 SAFER grant Fire Fighter positions will be
funded with the adopted basic life support transport fee.
Administrative Services
Reduction:
2 FTE
The Administrative Services Department is made up of three internal
support divisions: Finance, Information Technology, and the City
Clerk’s Office. The department will reduce 2 positions, a Payroll
Specialist position and a Sr. Network Systems Specialist position.
Executive Summary - 2013/2014 Budget Highlights 1 - 18
IT Capital:
($255k 2013/$333k 2014)
Addition:
Election Cost:
($50k 2013/$50k 2014)
IT Software Licensing:
($285k 2013/$288k 2014)
This is in addition to the 10.5 positions reduced previously for a
cumulative 12 positions and 22%. The Department also has two
limited term project positions that expire at the end of 2012. These
positions may be extended with project funding.
In addition to position reduction, the adopted budget reduces the
Technology equipment and software replacement budget by $255k in
2013 and $333k in 2014 to accommodate increases in software
licensing and support costs. With the centralization of IT services, we
have been gathering all software and hardware support costs into the
Internal Services Fund from departments over the past few years. This
avoids duplication and allows for more efficient support coordination.
We also implemented a Microsoft Enterprise License in 2011 which
again allows more efficient file transfers and sharing. These efforts
and also the addition of new software acquired recently required an
increase in the software license and support budget by $285k in 2013
and $288k in 2014.
Lastly, the additional election cost in 2012 and projected 2013 general
election cost will require an increase to our election budget by $50k
each year.
Human Resources &
Risk Management
The Human Resources & Risk Management Department (HRRM) will
reduce the self‐funded unemployment insurance cost in the Risk
Management Fund by $68k and $63k for 2013 and 2014, respectively.
However, at the same time the general liability insurance premium is
increasing by $28k a year. Therefore the net savings will be $40k in
2013 and $35k in 2014.
As mentioned earlier, one of the goals for this budget cycle is to
restore the training budget that was significantly reduced over the
past 5 years. The adopted budget will restore $52k annually for
citywide staff development to be administered by the HR&RM
Department.
Police
Unfunded Position:
3 grant funded SRO officers
The adopted budget will hold three School Resource Officer (SRO)
positions vacant. This is part of the six officers funded with the COPS
Hiring Recovery Grant that expires in 2012. The grant requires the city
to retain these positions for one year beyond the grant period, so
these positions will be unfunded after June 2013. The cumulative staff
reduction will be 8.8 FTE, or 5.6%, of the Department force.
The adopted budget reflects an anticipated 2013 jail service contract
with SCORE at $3.75 million and a projected 2014 amount of $4.5
million. The city’s portion of SCORE debt service costs of $1.8 million
per year will be budgeted in the debt service fund.
Executive Summary - 2013/2014 Budget Highlights 1 - 19
Public Works
Reduction:
2 FTE
Line item reductions:
$65k/2013 & $95k in 2014
The General Fund portion of the Public Works Department consists of
department administration, street maintenance, and transportation.
The adopted budget will reduce one Principal Civil Engineer in the
Transportation Systems Division, and a Signal/Electronics System
Assistant position in the Transportation Operations Division. In
addition, the department is proposing various line item reductions in
its street maintenance budget at $65k a year. The $30k additional
reduction in 2014 reflects the anticipated energy cost savings by
converting to LED streetlights on the Rainier Ave S and Strander Blvd
improvement projects currently under construction.
Cumulatively, the department has reduced its staffing by 17.7 FTE, of
which 17.5 are General Fund positions. This represents an overall
11.3% reduction of Department workforce, or 22% reduction in
General Fund supported positions.
General
Government Debt Service
Capital Funds
Governmental Capital
Improvements Fund (316)
2‐Year Total $4.1 million
Sources:
Grants/Donations: $1.16M
REET: 1.05M
Business License: 0.80M
Interfund Utility Tax: 0.85M
Carry forward: 0.24M
The adopted budget includes the amount needed to meet the city’s
general obligation debt service payments of $8.02 million annually,
including $1.8 million in the Library Development Bonds issued in 2011
and the city’s share of SCORE bonds in the amount of $1.83 million a
year.
The adopted 2013‐2014 budget includes $4.1 million in General
Governmental capital projects. One of the areas where the funding
has been greatly depleted during the Great Recession is our capital
funds. The funds are needed to preserve and enhance over $80
million of sports courts and fields, outdoor structures, buildings and
amenities in our community. This budget will dedicate 80% of the
adopted increase in business license fees ($400k per year) as well as
the adopted increase in inter‐fund utility taxes ($425k per year) to
supplement the Real Estate Excise Tax for a combined $1.3 to $1.4
million per year. These resources plus grants/donations, parks
mitigation funds, and unspent project funds make up the $4.1 million
resources for the following projects.
1) $761k for Gene Coulon Memorial Beach park structural repair/
maintenance. This is part of a multi‐year project totaling over $1.2
million in repairs necessary to preserve the above and under
water structures in the forty‐four year old park.
2) $750k additional funding for the accessible playground that would
be funded entirely with mitigation funds and community
fundraising dollars and constructed with volunteer efforts. No
General Fund contribution is expected.
3) $270k for playground replacement at Liberty Park and Cedar River
Trail Park.
Executive Summary - 2013/2014 Budget Highlights 1 - 20
$31.4M Transportation
Improvements Fund (317)
4) $150k for lighting system upgrades at Renton Senor Activity
Center and Highlands Park walkway.
5) $331k for the tree maintenance program for both high risk tree
removal and special project based street tree replacements.
6) $300k for initial planning/design phase of the Ron Regis Park
Athletic Field expansion project.
7) $250k Riverview Park Bridge safety repair project to repair the
damages caused by woody debris in the Cedar River from prior
storms.
8) $180k for Henry Moses Aquatic Center major maintenance and
upgrades.
9) $165k King County Levy funds for specific acquisition projects.
10) $149k for capital project coordination.
11) $150k for path, patio, sidewalk and boardwalk maintenance.
12) $150k to continue the expansion and replacement of citywide
security video system.
13) $100k to start the planning and design phase of the Sunset EIS
Park (plus $280k from the reallocation of the Sunset Sub Area
Planning fund in 2013).
14) $100k for community service maintenance shop rehab.
The remaining $294k consists of a number of small safety‐related
repairs/improvements throughout our park system. See Capital
Investment Section for more detail.
The Transportation Improvement Fund accounts for the
transportation element of the CIP. The adopted two‐year total
transportation improvements are $31.3 million. $3.4 million will be
from Business License fees, $1.3 million from the arterial street fuel
tax, $290k from mitigation fees collected, and $21.8 million will be
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,
that must be self‐sustaining. These include the Water, Wastewater,
and Surface Water utilities; the 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 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, with annual updates
performed by city staff.
The city re‐evaluated it’s rate setting policies in 2010. Through this
Executive Summary - 2013/2014 Budget Highlights 1 - 21
Utilities Financial Policy
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
amount for solid waste reserves ($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
during the 2011‐12 Budget:
Water –18%/16%
Wastewater – 42%/5%
King Count Metro Wastewater Treatment (pass through)
– 13%/0%
Surface Water – 40%/11%
Solid Waste – 0%/0%
The adopted 2013‐14 rate increases are 5% each year for all city
operated utilities. The King County Metro Wastewater Treatment
fee is to increase by 10.2% in 2013. The city will also continue the
Metro rate stabilization charge at $1.16 per account per month.
These rate increases are needed to provide for ongoing capital
infrastructure replacements.
Maplewood Golf Course The Maplewood Golf Course will continue to operate with reduced
staffing and streamlined operations, which runs about $2.5 million
per year. A adopted increase in greens fees only, which have not
increased since 2010, will assist in providing a quality facility. Driving
range fees, lessons and cart rentals remain unchanged. The weather
and the economy over the past two years have tightened the Golf
Course’s financial condition and its operating margin. As a result
capital investments and regular major maintenance projects have
been reduced over the past two years, focusing on safety and
prioritizing repairs to the buildings and golf course. Reconstruction
projects have been deferred until 2015 when the interfund loan
used to refinance the revenue bonds in 2010 are fully paid. This will
free up about $400k a year and allow the Golf Course to make more
Executive Summary - 2013/2014 Budget Highlights 1 - 22
capital investments thereafter.
Renton Municipal Airport
$11.5 million in capital
projects over the next two
years.
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 to its facilities. Overall, the airport
lease revenues are at about $2.6 million per year against operating
expenses of $1.5 million. The Airport is undertaking a number of
capital projects in the next two years: the continuation of the
taxiway bravo rehabilitation ($9.7 million); the 820 Building
demolition ($637K); and other smaller improvement projects
totaling $1.1 million.
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).
All of the costs identified herein are paid for and included in the
operating departments’ budget. The charges are calculated based
on either specific charges or by systematic cost allocation. The
health insurance charge (for both active and retired employees) is
part of personnel benefit costs. The remaining internal service funds
(Fleet, Property/Liability Insurance, Technology, Facilities, and
Communications) services are paid as internal service charges.
About 86% of all internal service charges are paid by the General
Fund; therefore, the cost of internal service fund operations directly
affects the General Fund’s bottom line.
Equipment Rental
Operating: $2.5 M/year
Capital: $1.5 M 2013/
$1.0 M 2014
The Equipment Rental fund maintains nearly 600 pieces of
equipment, of which approximately 300 are vehicles and large
mobile equipment used intensively in delivering city services. The
Fund also accumulates replacement reserves for replacement of
vehicles when needed.
Due to the substantial fuel cost increases over the past few years,
the operating budget was underfunded in the last two years. The
2013‐14 budget adjusted for the fuel cost and price on other
petroleum‐based supplies. As a result the fleet M&O cost has shown
substantial increase in the operating departments.
Information Technology
Operating:$3.5 M/year
Capital:$0.6M 2013/
$0.56M 2014
The Information Technology (IT) Fund was created in 2007 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 $1.2 million in IT capital
projects over the 2‐year budget period. Other than $50k earmarked
for an updated IT strategic plan, the remaining 2013‐14 IT
investments are all major maintenance related items. It includes
Executive Summary - 2013/2014 Budget Highlights 1 - 23
$200k ($100k per year) for the lease of the copier fleet, $400k
($200k per year) in routine replacement/expansion of servers,
network equipment, storage and backup systems to maintain
network integrity for continuing operations. The remaining $600k is
for department‐specific software/hardware replacements/update
needs.
We will continue to work on equipment and software interface
needed to communicate with and access the data from the new
computer aided dispatching (CAD) at Valley Communication Center
CAD system, which is expected to go live in November 2013.
The IT Division will also continue the implementation of the
Enterprise GIS Plan and other system improvements consistent with
the adopted 2007 IT Strategic Plan.
Risk Management
2013‐2014:
$16.4/$17.2 million
The city’s Risk Management program consists of three funds: the
Property and Liability Insurance Fund (502), the Employee Health
Insurance Fund (512), and the LEOFF I Retiree Medical Fund (522).
The 502 Fund covers property and liability insurance ($1.5 million
each for 2013 and 2014); workers compensation (around $1.1
million per year); and unemployment insurance (around $150k per
year), and the remaining balance of $234k is for program
administration.
The city self‐insures employee health benefits with a stop‐loss
coverage of $250k per incident. The 2013 and 2014 budget and
charge is based on projected plan costs by the number of
employees. As discussed earlier, the amount the city will contribute
to the Fund will be based on 2012 premium rates. In addition, the
city will be further reduce its contribution by $1.3 million into the
fund during 2013. This effect is a reduced fund balance by a
projected $1.8 million over the biennium.
Providing retiree health care is required by state law for LEOFF I
retirees. The city’s contribution is determined actuarially and re‐
evaluated every other year. The most recent actuarial study put the
city’s obligation at approximately $27 million in present value and
requires an annual contribution of $1.7 million to fully amortize the
obligation by 2038. This contribution is included in the 2013‐14
budget. The Equipment Rental fund maintains nearly 600 pieces of
equipment, of which approximately 300 are vehicles and large
mobile equipment used intensively in delivering city services. The
Fund also accumulates replacement reserves for replacement of
vehicles when needed.
Facilities
2013‐14 Reduction:
1 FTE (included in Comm.
Services Department
The Facilities Fund was fully implemented in 2010 to accumulate
costs for maintaining and operating the city’s office, public (primarily
used by the general public), and operational (primarily used for city
operations purposes) facilities, and charges the costs to the

appropriate functions/departments.
The Fund also accounts for major maintenance (major repairs and
updates) costs related to these facilities, which is now funded with
current operating resources. The funding level for major
maintenance projects has been reduced in the 2013‐14 budget cycle
from $495k to around $360k annually. This may not be sustainable
and could require future adjustments.
Communications
2013‐14 Reduction:
1 FTE (included in Executive
Department discussion
above)
Operating:$0.9 million/year
The Communications Fund was also created in 2010 by pooling
citywide communications resources for the central print shop,
interoffice mail, external postage and printing services, and the
Government TV channel operation in one place for consistent
coordination of brands, messages, and better prioritization of
workload. The costs are allocated based on actual services demand
by departments.
Pension Trust Fund
$240k/$225k for 2013/14
The city is the custodian of the Firemen’s Pension Fund, a trust fund
managed by a separately appointed Trustee.
The Fund accumulates resources and pays current pension benefits
per state law. The Fund has sufficient assets to fully fund the city’s
pension obligation. Currently the plan asset generates interest
earnings and the city also receives a distribution of a state fire
insurance premium surcharge that is restricted for fire pension
benefits. No general city resources are used for this purpose. The
Facilities Fund was fully implemented in 2010 to accumulate costs
for maintaining and operating the city’s office, public (primarily used
by the general public), and operational (primarily used for city
operations purposes) facilities, and charges the costs to the
appropriate functions/departments.

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 - 27
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 clerk, administration, and economic development.
Water / Sewer Utility is comprised of a number of sub‐funds working towards a mission to
operate and maintain a quality water supply system, collect, convey and treat wastewater
effectively and economically within the Council’s rate structure, and construct water and

Total Revenue Total Expenditure Fund Balance
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 ensure operations are sustainable by the tax
revenue and utility rates can sustain the operation and replacement of utility system infrastructures. These
“glimpses” into the future allow 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 city’s fiscal policy requires a balanced budget in the ensuing budget years (2013‐2014), 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.
Executive Summary - Long Range Plan 1 - 59
OVERVIEW CITY OF RENTON 2013‐2014 BIENNIAL BUDGET
Over 77% of General Fund Revenue is from taxes, with 32% from Property Tax alone. As indicated in the key
revenue assumptions table above, we are projecting a 4.5% decline in base property tax in 2013 due to the
decrease in assessed value that pushed the city’s tax rate to the $3.10/$1000 AV limit. This, plus the expiration
of grant revenues and a reduction in Fire District 25 service contract revenue, produces a 2.4% overall decrease
in General Fund revenue in 2013. This is one of the largest real decreases in General Fund Revenue the city has
ever experienced, including during the Great Recession period. The city has been able to once again rebalance
its resources by reducing workforce, working with its labor unions to reset the city’s contribution to its self‐
insured healthcare plan, and to raise revenues for its capital improvement programs.
The current budget financial plan assumes no general wage increase during this biennium. However, the
existing contracts with all five labor unions will expire at the end of 2012 and new labor agreements are not yet
settled. Each 1% across the board wage increase will cost approximately $650k a year citywide, or $550k a year
to the General Fund. The 2015‐2018 projection includes a 1% wage increase and resulted in an operating gap
that grew wider over this period. Basically, the projection tells us if the slow revenue growth is the “new
normal” as we have now seen since the end of the Great Recession, and the benefit costs continue at the pace
experienced in the past, the city’s ability to provide wage increases will be extremely limited.
State Budget Impact
Unlike many other states in the country, Washington State has been managing its budget challenges within its
programs and resources and held local government shared revenue harmless until 2012. The revenue loss to
the city was initially in the millions: the annexation sales tax credit ($2M), the loss of liquor profit or excise tax
($650k profit or $450k tax), the transfer of public safety training costs (estimated at $10k per trainee, if
applicable), and a 3% reduction on all state shared revenues ($80k).
The final impact was reduced to a one‐year suspension of liquor tax ($225k in 2012 and $225k in 2013), the
public safety training costs, and the 3% reduction in state shared revenues. This impact is further reduced by a
one‐time distribution of liquor store sales proceeds in the amount of $138k in 2012 as part of the state
privatized liquor sales as approved by a voter initiative (I‐1183 of 2011.)
Potential Annexation
On November 6, 2012, voters in the West Hill community will be asked to consider a proposition of whether the
West Hill community should be annexed to the city or remain part of unincorporated King County. The West Hill
community is a 1,857‐acre or 2.9 square mile area bordering Lake Washington to the northeast, the city of
Seattle to the north, the city of Tukwila to the south, and the city of Renton to the southeast. It has an
estimated population of 15,853 in seven neighborhoods, including Bryn Mawr, Lakeridge, Skyway, Campbell Hill,
Panorama, Skycrest, and Hill Top.
If the annexation is approved, the area would receive general governmental services from the city, such as
police, fire, permits, and street maintenance services upon a yet to be determined effective date. The city
would also be responsible for providing storm drainage services to the area. Seattle Public Utilities and the
Skyway Water and Sewer District would likely continue to provide water and sewer services in the area after
annexation.
The current assumptions about the West Hill annexation are that the financial impact of the annexation on
Renton’s operating budget would be negative to the tune of $3.4 million a year initially. The annual operating
cost to serve the West Hill area is projected at around $10.9 million, against a revenue of roughly $7.5 million.
The area would be eligible for a 10‐year credit on the state share of the retail sales tax that yields around $2

CITY OF RENTON 2013‐2014 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
million currently to help fund the service costs of the annexation, thus reduce the financial gap to $1.4 million a
year for the first 10 years.
Costs to provide surface water management in the enterprise funds equal the revenues available. Long‐term
capital costs will be phased and funded 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.
If the measure is approved by voters in the West Hill area, the city intends to work with King County, who
provides services in the area currently, and the state to develop a funding plan to bridge the startup and the
projected operating gap prior to assuming the services. This financial plan does not include the impact of the
annexation.
MAJOR REVENUES
Seventy‐seven (77%) 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.
Property tax (RCW 84.52)
Annexation and new construction has
contributed to substantial growth in the
city’s property tax base in the past
decade, but has since been eroded by the
Great Recession. The city’s assessed
value (AV) peaked in 2009 when the $2
billion (or 24%) value from Benson Hill
annexation was added to our tax base and
the market condition has yet to be
reflected because the AV lags the market
value by two years.
Since the peak in 2009, the overall
assessed value for Renton has declined by
20% and the median home value has
declined by 36%.
As mentioned above, the city’s property tax rate has reached $3.10 per $1000 AV in 2102. The preliminary
information from the King County Assessor shows the 2013‐based AV (not including new annexation and new
construction) declined by another 4%. This translates into a direct loss of tax revenue for the city. And because
of the decline in AV and the tax rate limit, the city will receive less property tax revenue than in 2012 even after
the new construction and annexation are included.
1. The $3.10 Tax Rate Limit:
The state constitution establishes the maximum regular
property tax levy for all taxing districts combined at 1%, or
$10 per $1000, of assessed value of the property. This
limitation is further divided by the RCW to the various
taxing districts. For most cities and local services this is

$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.
Local services include Fire and Library services. The portion allocated to library service is $0.50, and $1.50
for fire districts that do not assess a fire benefit charge, or $1.0 for fire districts with a fire benefit charge.
The balance is available for cities to provide other city services. Renton’s regular levy rate is subject to the
$3.1 limit as we provide fire service but not library services. Because of this limitation, the city will receive
$1.8 million less in property tax revenue than otherwise. This levy rate limit can only be exceeded with 60%
voter approval (excess levy) and is commonly used for capital financing.
2. The 1% growth limit in property tax revenue:
Before 2002, a taxing district could increase the property tax levy amount annually by 6% of the amount
levied in the previous year, up to the applicable tax rate limit discussed above. This growth limit was
established in 1973 as the legislature responded to people's concerns that property taxes were rising too
fast due to the real estate boom occurring at that time.
Initiative 747, approved by voters in 2001 and taking effect in 2002, lowered the limit to the lesser of 1% or
inflation. Property tax growth resulting from new construction, changes in value of state‐assessed utility
property, and newly annexed property are exempted from this limit and may be added to the base tax levy.
This growth limit can be "lifted" by voters with a simple majority 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.
Distribution of Property Tax
Most properties in Renton pay $13.23 per $1000
AV in 2012, of which 23% goes to city services.
The remaining 77% goes to the Renton School
District (35%), King County (12%) for regional
services, the State School fund (18%), King County
Library System (4%), Valley Medical (4%), Port of
Seattle (2%), and Emergency Medical Services
(3%).
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 the sales tax
revenue generated within Renton. The
remaining 90% goes to other government
entities and to support public transit and public
facility agencies.
In addition to the local sales tax, the city also
receives a distribution of a voter‐approved
criminal justice sales tax, and a 0.1% annexation
sales tax for the annexation of Benson Hill in 2008. Renton’s economy generates over $200 million in sales
taxes. 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 2013‐2014 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
This is a tool the State uses to encourage cities to
annex currently unincorporated urban areas.
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. Renton receives the sales
tax credit for the Benson Hill Annexation took
effect in March, 2008.
The effective date of any new annexation credit is July 1 (beginning of the State fiscal year), with first
distribution reaching the city in September (a two‐month lag). Therefore, the amount Renton received in 2008
for Benson Hill represented receipts over a four‐month period. June 2018 will be the final year for this tax
credit, with the final distribution in August.
Projected Growth
The composition of the city’s sales tax is relatively
diverse with General Retail representing the largest
portion at 36%, followed by Service Industry at 23%,
Automotive at 18%, Contracting at 9%, and Wholesale
and Manufacturing each at 6%, with the remaining 2%
in other miscellaneous categories. The area hit hardest
by the economy is the Contracting sector. At the peak,
it represented 23% of our sales tax collection.
Like many other cities in the state, Renton’s sales tax is
one of the hardest hit revenue sources by the Great
Recession with an overall peak‐to‐through reduction of
18% and a revenue loss of $3.8 million. The 3.5%
collection increase represents two non‐economic
events: 1) an audit recovery of $195k; and 2) an sales
tax amnesty program implemented by the State that
generated an additional $130k distribution. When
these collections are removed from the collection, the 2011 growth over 2010 was only 1%. As of September
2012 the collection is 2.2% over the same period in 2011. Another significant audit correction in 2012 affected

the collection negatively to the tune of $132k. With this and the above non‐economic factors removed, the
actual growth in 2012 is nearly 4.5%.
We expect the actual sales tax collection in 2012 to be 2% over 2011, with a slightly stronger improvement over
the next two years until it settles back to the normal trend of inflation (assumed to be 2%) plus population
growth (assumed to be 1.5%).
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 a
6% utility tax on phone (both
landline and cellular services),
electric, natural gas, cable, and transfer station services. City utilities (water, sewer, storm drainage, and solid
waste), pay an inter‐fund utility tax. The current tax rates are all 6% with the exception that the Water utility
currently is paying a 7.5% utility tax. The adopted tax rates are: 6% for Sewer utility, 6.8% for Storm and solid
waste utility, and 8.3% for Water utility. The tax increases are intended to generate additional revenue for
general governmental capital projects.

Natural gas is used mostly for heating purposes; therefore, the consumption and the resulting tax revenue are
very sensitive to winter weather conditions. The land‐line phone service is expected to continue to decline with
most residential customer moving away from the traditional phone services to either VoIP through digital
broadband or to wireless services only. The growth rate of wireless or cellular phone service slowed in the past
two years as well. The drop in the 2011 tax collection reflects the service providers removing data‐only service
from the tax base. The impact of “share everything” plans on utility tax is still to be determined.
Electricity, city utilities, and cable TV are projected to grow by population plus inflation increases.

CITY OF RENTON 2013‐2014 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)
The State of Washington levies 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%. Local governments are also authorized to impose REET. 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, 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; parks;
recreational facilities; law enforcement facilities; fire protection facilities; trails; libraries; administrative and
judicial facilities.
Receipts pledged to debt retirement prior to April 1992 and/or spent prior to June 1992 are grandfathered from
this restriction.
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 was no longer a permitted use of REET 2 after March 1,
1992.
An amendment was made in 2011 to allow cities using REET for maintenance purpose for a period of 3 years as a
way to assist cities to cope with general revenue losses due to the Great Recession.

Past and Projected REET Revenue
($ millions)
Executive Summary - Long Range Plan 1 - 65
OVERVIEW CITY OF RENTON 2013‐2014 BIENNIAL BUDGET
Trend and Projection
The combined two quarter‐percents of the REET are expected to generate $2.7 million in 2012. The projection
for the upcoming biennium is in the same range with $2.6 million in 2013 and $2.65 million in 2014. Currently
the city uses the REET revenue primarily for debt service payments with $500k and $550k budgeted for the
General Governmental CIP Fund (316). These amounts are insufficient to cover the necessary major
maintenance project costs to preserve existing city assets, and therefore two new revenue sources are adopted
to supplement REET for these projects starting in the 2013‐14 biennium.
Gambling Excise Tax (RCW 9.46.110 & 9.46.113)
The city levies gambling taxes as follows:
5% on net receipts for bingo and raffles
2% for amusement games
5% on gross receipts for for‐profit
punchboards and pull‐tabs
10% on gross receipts for card rooms
All rates are the maximum authorized by state
statute, except for the card rooms, which has a
maximum rate of 20%. The State Legislature
began allowing the operation of "enhanced card
rooms" or mini‐casinos on non‐tribal land on a
pilot basis in 1997 and on a permanent basis in the spring of 2000. This
activity provided a significant revenue source for Renton, which generates
about 78% of the city’s gambling taxes. The remaining 22% are made up of
pulltabs (21%), and bingo (1%).
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 designates Gambling
Tax revenue as a law enforcement resource.
Gambling revenues remained relatively stable for many years until 2010 when two gambling establishments
went out of business. We expect the city’s gambling tax to stabilize at around $1.6 million a year.
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 organizations are required to obtain a license but 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 2013‐2014 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
This fee has not been adjusted over
the past 25 years. When adjusted by
construction inflation, the $55 fee
only has a purchasing power of $21
compared to 1988.
The adopted budget will increase the
fee in two ways: 1) a minimum fee of
$110 which will cover the first 1 FTE
(measured as 1,920 worker hours);
and 2) for any additional FTE, the fee
will be increased from $55 to $65. If
approved by the City Council, the
new fee will take effect on January 1, 2013.
The adopted fee increase is projected to generate about $500k annually, 80% of which will be dedicated to
General Governmental Capital Projects (vs. transportation projects), with the General Fund retaining 20%, same
as the existing allocation.
Permit And Development Fees
The permit and development revenues are one of the most severely impacted revenues by the Great Recession.
The overall decline peak‐to‐through is 54%. The bottom was reached in 2009 and we have since seen a gradual
recovery. The propsoed budget also includes a small fee adjustment (average 6% over 2 years) for the 2013‐14
biennium. After making a significant adjustment after two decades of no‐adjustments in 2010, the city is
changing its practice to maintain a more gradual, stable pattern of fee adjustments for the future. Future
projection is primarily based on a 1% new construction increase and 2% fee increases based on projected
inflation.

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

OVERVIEW CITY OF RENTON 2013‐2014 BIENNIAL BUDGET
franchise fee revenue. The increase in 2010 collections is primarily due to a correction for late implementation
of an annexation activity. The long‐term projection is based on 65% of projected population growth based on
the changing technology that could impact consumer entertainment options.
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 $30 limits on vehicle license
fees. The remaining intergovernmental revenues
are fuel taxes, liquor tax and profit, and the
criminal justice distribution. As mentioned
before, due to the state’s budget challenges, the
state will suspend liquor excise tax distribution for the current fiscal year (July 1, 2012‐ June 30, 2013). The city’s
budget projection assumes this is a one‐year suspension as the state’s budget conditions improve.
The amount of grants fluctuates greatly from year to year. The base grant amount reflects the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and a couple of small public safety grants. The higher amount in 2009‐2012
reflects the SAFER and COPS grants used to restore six police and 9 firefighter positions during the Great
Recession.
Charge For Services
The charge for services is revenues generated
from services provided to the general public
(including recreation fees, facility rental fees),
certain public safety services, as well as
internally between city departments (Interfund
Services) that are not operated through Internal
Service Fund structure. This source is projected
to generate around $6 million each year.

Executive Summary - Long Range Plan 1 - 68
CITY OF RENTON 2013‐2014 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
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,
consistent with anticipated 2012 actual. In 2012 the City
adopted a set of cost recovery guidelines that will require
full cost recovery for certain programs and allow partial
cost recovery primary to certain customer groups such as
seniors, developmentally challenged populations. This
change may reduce the recreation fee revenues but if
occurred, it should have a larger reduction in service costs.
Public Safety Services
Public Safety services revenue includes private security, electronic home detention, passport processing, court
cost recovery and miscellaneous services. The budget includes the adopted Basic Life Support transport fee
estimated at $325,000 per year effective 2014.
Inter‐Fund Services
The Interfund Service charges represent two types of reimbursements: 1) reimbursement of the city’s general
overhead such as accounting, human resources, records management, legal, and administration expenses from
enterprise funds; and 2) reimbursements from capital projects for design, engineering, and project management
costs. The overhead charge is determined through an indirect cost allocation model using transaction volume,
number of full‐time employees, and size of budget as determining factors. The project cost reimbursements (or
“soft‐capital” cost are based on actual labor cost with associated benefits.
The overall Charge for Service revenue is projected at around $6 million for 2013, primarily to recognize
reduction in soft capital transfers based on the current actual, and to recognize potential recreation fee impact
based on the cost recovery policy.
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 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 revenue declined in 2010 and 2011 due to both the reduction in
photo enforcement violations (down 23% from 2009) as well as general traffic violations (down 42% from the
2009 level) with the overall court cases declining by 25%.
Future revenue is assumed to grow at the same rate of the 1.5% projected population growth.
Miscellaneous Revenues
Miscellaneous revenues include 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. In addition, the Federal Reserve has taken action to keep the mortgage
rate low and has signaled it will maintain federal fund rates at the current level until 2015. As a result, we
anticipate the future miscellaneous revenues will remain at a lower level as we have experienced in the last two
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 including 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
During the summer of 2010, the City Council adopted a set of fiscal policies to guide future rate setting for all
city utilities. These policies address minimum fund balances and approaches to financing capital improvements
in the future. Specifically, the policy will rely on rates to finance preservation of existing systems and only use
bonding to finance system capacity improvements. This capital financing policy required a substantial rate
increase to provide for consistent system replacement/reinvestment in 2011 and 2012. The rate requirements
for 2013‐14 and beyond are more in line with the utilities’ historical rate increases.
In addition to the adopted city rate increases, King County Metro, which provides sewer treatment, is proposing
a 10.2% rate increase in 2013 and no increase in 2014.

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 as a fully self‐sustained operation. The
city refunded the $1.85 million revenue bonds with an
interfund loan at the true interest
cost of 2.24% in 2010. This reduced
the annual debt service for the golf
course from $430,000 to around
$400,000 per year and eliminated the
requirement of a debt service reserve.
Renton course rates are comparable
to those of other municipal courses in
neighboring communities.

Policy on Post‐Issuance Compliance for Tax‐Exempt Bonds
1. Purpose
The purpose of these post‐issuance compliance policies and procedures ("Compliance
Policy") for tax‐exempt bonds issued by The City of Renton, Washington (the "City") is to
ensure that the City will be in compliance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), that must be satisfied with respect to tax‐exempt bonds
and other obligations ("bonds") after the bonds are issued so that interest on the bonds will
be and remain tax‐exempt.
2. Responsibility for Monitoring Post‐Issuance Tax Compliance.
The City Council of the City has the overall, final responsibility for monitoring whether the
City is in compliance with post‐issuance federal tax requirements for the City's tax‐exempt
bonds. However, the City Council assigns to the Administrative Services Administrator of the
City the primary operating responsibility to monitor the City's compliance with post‐
issuance federal tax requirements for the City's tax‐exempt bonds.
3. Arbitrage Yield Restriction and Rebate Requirements.
The Administrative Services Administrator shall maintain or cause to be maintained records
of:
a. purchases and sales of investments made with bond proceeds (including amounts
treated as "gross proceeds" of bonds under section 148 of the Code) and receipts of
earnings on those investments;
b. expenditures made with bond proceeds (including investment earnings on bond
proceeds) for the governmental purposes of the bonds, such as for the costs of
purchasing, constructing and/or renovating property and facilities;
c. information showing, where applicable for a particular calendar year, that the City was
eligible to be treated as a "small issuer" in respect of bonds issued in that calendar year
because the City did not reasonably expect to issue more than $5,000,000 of tax‐
exempt bonds in that calendar year;
d. calculations that will be sufficient to demonstrate to the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") upon an audit of a bond issue that, where applicable, the City has complied with
an available spending exception to the arbitrage rebate requirement in respect of that
bond issue;
e. calculations that will be sufficient to demonstrate to the IRS upon an audit of a bond
issue for which no exception to the arbitrage rebate requirement was applicable, that
the rebate amount, if any, that was payable to the United States of America in respect
of investments made with gross proceeds of that bond issue was calculated and timely
paid with Form 8038‐T timely filed with the IRS; and
f. information and records showing that investments held in yield‐restricted advance
refunding or defeasance escrows for bonds, and investments made with unspent bond
proceeds after the expiration of the applicable temporary period, were not invested in
higher‐yielding investments.
Executive Summary - Financial Management Policies 1 - 80
4. Restrictions on Private Business Use and Private Loans.
The Administrative Services Administrator shall adopt procedures that are calculated to
educate and inform the principal operating officials of those departments, including utility
departments, if any, of the City (the "users") for which land, buildings, facilities and
equipment ("property") are financed with proceeds of tax‐exempt bonds about the
restrictions on private business use that apply to that property after the bonds have been
issued, and of the restriction on the use of proceeds of tax‐exempt bonds to make or
finance any loan to any person other than a state or local government unit. In particular,
following the issuance of bonds for the financing of property, the Administrative Services
Administrator shall provide to the users of the property a copy of this Compliance Policy
and other appropriate written guidance advising that:
a. "private business use" means use by any person other than a state or local government
unit, including business corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies,
associations, nonprofit corporations, natural persons engaged in trade or business
activity, and the United States of America and any federal agency, as a result of
ownership of the property or use of the property under a lease, management or service
contract (except for certain "qualified" management or service contracts), output
contract for the purchase of electricity or water, privately sponsored research contract
(except for certain "qualified" research contracts), "naming rights" contract, "public‐
private partnership" arrangement, or any similar use arrangement that provides special
legal entitlements for the use of the bond‐financed property;
b. under section 141 of the Code, no more than 10% of the proceeds of any tax‐exempt
bond issue (including the property financed with the bonds) may be used for private
business use, of which no more than 5% of the proceeds of the tax‐exempt bond issue
(including the property financed with the bonds) may be used for any "unrelated"
private business use‐that is, generally, a private business use that is not functionally
related to the governmental purposes of the bonds; and no more than the lesser of
$5,000,000 or 5% of the proceeds of a tax‐exempt bond issue may be used to make or
finance a loan to any person other than a state or local government unit;
c. before entering into any special use arrangement with a nongovernmental person that
involves the use of bond‐financed property, the user must consult with the
Administrative Services Administrator, provide the Administrative Services
Administrator with a description of the proposed nongovernmental use arrangement,
and determine whether that use arrangement, if put into effect, will be consistent with
the restrictions on private business use of the bond‐financed property;
d. in connection with the evaluation of any proposed nongovernmental use arrangement,
the Administrative Services Administrator should consult with nationally recognized
bond counsel to the City as may be necessary to obtain federal tax advice on whether
that use arrangement, if put into effect, will be consistent with the restrictions on
private business use of the bond‐financed property, and, if not, whether any "remedial
action" permitted under section 141 of the Code may be taken by the City as a means of
Executive Summary - Financial Management Policies 1 - 81
enabling that use arrangement to be put into effect without adversely affecting the tax‐
exempt status of the bonds that financed the property; and
e. the Administrative Services Administrator and the user of the property shall maintain
records of such nongovernmental uses, if any, of bond‐financed property, including
copies of the pertinent leases, contracts or other documentation, and the related
determination that those nongovernmental uses are not inconsistent with the tax‐
exempt status of the bonds that financed the property.
5. Records to be Maintained for Tax‐Exempt Bonds.
It is the policy of the City that, unless otherwise permitted by future IRS regulations or other
guidance, written records (which may be in electronic form) will be maintained with respect
to each bond issue for as long as those bonds remain outstanding, plus three years. For this
purpose, the bonds include refunding bonds that refund the original bonds and thereby
refinance the property that was financed by the original bonds The records to be
maintained are to include:
a. the official Transcript of Proceedings for the original issuance of the bonds;
b. records showing how the bond proceeds were invested, as described in 3a above;
c. records showing how the bond proceeds were spent, as described in 3b above,
including purchase contracts, construction contracts, progress payment requests,
invoices, cancelled checks, payment of bond issuance costs, and records of "allocations"
of bond proceeds to make reimbursement for project expenditures made before the
bonds were actually issued;
d. information, records and calculations showing that, with respect to each bond issue, the
City was eligible for the "small issuer" exception or one of the spending exceptions to
the arbitrage rebate requirement or, if not, that the rebate amount, if any, that was
payable to the United States of America in respect of investments made with gross
proceeds of that bond issue was calculated and timely paid with Form 8038‐T timely
filed with the IRS, as described in 3c, d and e above; and
e. records showing that special use arrangements, if any, affecting bond‐financed property
made by the City with nongovernmental persons, if any, are consistent with applicable
restrictions on private business use of property financed with proceeds of tax‐exempt
bonds and restrictions on the use of proceeds of tax‐exempt bonds to make or finance
loans to any person other than a state or local government unit, as described in 4
above.
The basic purpose of the foregoing record retention policy for the City's tax‐exempt
bonds is to enable the City to readily demonstrate to the IRS upon an audit of any tax‐
exempt bond issue that the City has fully complied with all federal tax requirements that
must be satisfied after the issue date of the bonds so that interest on those bonds
continues to be tax‐exempt under section 103 of the Code.
Executive Summary - Financial Management Policies 1 - 82
6. Identification and Remediation of Potential Violations of Federal Tax Requirements for Tax‐
Exempt Bonds.
a. So long as any of the Issuer’s tax‐exempt bond issues remain outstanding, the
Administrative Services Administrator will periodically consult with the users of the
Issuer’s bond‐financed property to review and determine whether current use
arrangements involving that property continue to comply with applicable federal tax
requirements as described in these Compliance Procedures. This may be accomplished,
for example, by periodically meeting with users, providing questionnaires to users
about current use arrangements, or adopting other protocols reasonable calculated to
ensure compliance with applicable federal tax requirements on a continuing basis. This
periodic review may be scheduled, for example, at or before the times that the Issuer is
required to file with Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board the annual financial
information and operating data pursuant to the Issuer’s undertaking, if any, to provide
continuing disclosure with respect to outstanding bond issues.
b. If at any time during the life of an issue of tax‐exempt bonds, the Issuer discovers a
violation of federal tax requirements applicable to that issue may have occurred, the
Administrative Services Administrator will consult with bond counsel to determine
whether any such violation actually has occurred and, if so, take prompt action to
accomplish an available remedial action under applicable Internal Revenue Service
under the Voluntary Closing Agreement Program described under Notice 2008‐31 or
other future published guidance.
7. Education Policy With Respect to Federal Tax Requirements for Tax‐Exempt Bonds.
It is the policy of the City that the Administrative Services Administrator and his or her staff,
as well as the principal operating officials of those departments of the City for which
property is financed with proceeds of tax‐exempt bonds should be provided with education
and training on federal tax requirements applicable to tax‐exempt bonds. The City
recognizes that such education and training is vital as a means of helping to ensure that the
City remains in compliance with those federal tax requirements in respect of its bonds. The
City therefore will enable and encourage those personnel to attend and participate in
educational and training programs offered by, among others, the Washington Municipal
Treasurers Association and the Washington Finance Officers Association with regard to the
federal tax requirements applicable to tax‐exempt bonds.

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. The purpose is to facilitate policy decisions and provide
accountability to the community. Services are categorized and the desired results are defined as
follows:
Safety and Health I want Renton to be a safe and healthy community.
Livable Community I want access to high quality facilities, services and public resources that
enrich the lives of everyone in the community.
Representative Government I want a responsive and responsible government.
Mobility I want safe and efficient access to all desired destinations, now and in
the future.
Utilities and Environment I want to live, learn, work and play in a clean and green environment
with reliable, affordable utility services.
Internal Support I want City departments to have the means to operate efficiently and
effectively in a safe and sustainable manner.

2013-2014 Budget Development Framework
The Mayor reconvened the Budget Advisory Committee, consisting of a broad spectrum of community
leaders who gave their time to help shape the City’s service priorities and budget decisions that will
build a sustainable operation beyond the current biennium. The goals of the Committee were to:
1) Build an understanding of the City’s purpose and future, the City’s demographics and trends as
related to various planning efforts and service demands, Community survey feedback, the City’s
revenue sources and limitations as well as the City’s services and associated costs.
2) Provide insight and recommendations on City Service priorities and how effectiveness is
measured (Renton Results); revenue and cost control strategies to balance the 2013-14 budget
gap as well as long term solutions to create a financial structure that is sustainable.
Committee recommendations
For long-term sustainability both revenue generation and cost-control strategies were discussed and
were prioritized by the Committee. Below are the top five recommendations:
1) Continue efforts in negotiating increased employee contribution toward medical benefit costs
and/or increased co-pay/deductible levels.
2) Continue attracting businesses to Renton.
3) The City should look at services that are least used or perform poorly to reduce or eliminate.
4) Look at total cost of compensation and include comparable private sector jobs where applicable.
5) Improve coordination of overlapping efforts to minimize cost/maximize and leverage volunteer
efforts.
For future service prioritization the Committee supported continued improvement of Renton Results as
a means to both measure the effectiveness of programs in each City Service Area and identify
opportunities for improvements. The City is continuing its development of the program as illustrated
and described below:

• In 2011 City staff initiated the Renton Results Program Measure Refinement Project which had
several objectives:
1) All staff will know and understand their role within each program and how their work
contributes to the desired Results of the Program.
2) To evaluate and fine tune performance measures at the Program Level by inviting feedback
and insight into the work being performed.
3) Define "success" (now and in the future) and discuss how the work being performed can
affect the outcome of a program.
4) Assess continuity between Program, Departmental, and City-wide measures.
• In 2012 data generated from the refined measures were collected and various methods of
reporting began being developed for internal use and external transparency.
• In 2013 the Results will be analyzed and used to drive improvements in programs and processes.
Additionally, cross-departmental processes will be assessed for efficiencies and continuity.

Per Capita Service Cost
The Chart below shows a comparison of the per capita operating cost at the 2013 adopted service level
and the 2014 adopted service level. The operating cost at the 2013 adopted level totals $1,702 per
person per year vs. $1,702 at the 2014 adopted level, based on 2012’s population count. Without the
debt service, retiree medical obligation, and separation benefits, the per capita internal support cost
would be at around $36.14 per year for 2013 and $15.59 per year for 2014.

Resource Allocation by City Service Area
Renton Results program expenses are presented by City Service Area 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 Budget
by Fund sections of this document, however, include such transfers and inter-fund transactions.
Therefore, reconciliation is shown below between the Renton Results resources and 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 2013 programs, these include $8.0 million in general obligation debt service payments,
$1.7 million in post-retirement medical benefits for retirees in Law Enforcement and Fire Fighters I
pension system (LEOFF 1) and $0.53 million of city-wide payroll tax and benefit costs that are not
allocated into budgeted positions. Without these costs, the overall 2013 Internal Support costs are
2.12% of the $159.8 million operating budget and 1.63% of the $208.5 million total budget.
Renton Results - Budget Framework 2 - 4

section.

Desired Results – Strategies – Measures
For Adopted Programs
The City Service Area’s are broad in nature and are supported by
a number of City programs across multiple City departments.
The intent of this method of budget presentation is to more
clearly illustrate what the City does with its resources while
providing a means of communicating our results in a meaningful
way.
Each City Service Area is best defined by the associated “I want”
statement or the desired Results.
Desired Results
Safety and Health I want Renton to be a safe and healthy community.
Livable Community I want access to high quality facilities, services and public resources that
enrich the lives of everyone in the community.
Representative Government I want a responsive and responsible government.
Mobility I want safe and efficient access to all desired destinations, now and in
the future.
Utilities and Environment I want to live, learn, work and play in a clean and green environment
with reliable, affordable utility service.
Internal Support I want City departments to have the means to operate efficiently and
effectively in a safe and sustainable manner.
Strategies
Strategies answer the question: “How does the City plan to work toward and achieve these results?”
Programs in each City Service Area are aligned with one or more of these strategies to assure
consistency in direction as established by the desired results. All programs contribute to the success of
the City’s efforts – some directly effecting the results and some supportive or complimentary to another
programs’ efforts.

Cause and Effect Map
This visual representation of the Safety and Health City Service Area, for example, illustrates the
relationship between the defined strategies (cause) and reaching the desired result (effect).
Program Budget Consideration:
The City considered funding programs based on the following criteria:
1. Is the program aligned with the City Service Area strategies?
2. Does the program demonstrate a clear contribution toward achieving the desired result of the
City Service Area?
3. Does the program improve customer and public services?
4. Does the program demonstrate options to “scale” its level of service (focusing first on how to
meet the mandatory nature of the program) based on resources available?
5. Does the program encourage community, regional, and interdepartmental collaboration and
partnerships?
6. Does the program leverage resources?
7. Does the program encourage innovative and creative effort with an emphasis on cost
effectiveness?
The following pages will list all adopted operational and capital program FTE counts and
budgets organized by City Services Areas. You will also find a listing of our Renton Results
