• State Budae# Impacts
Mayor Priest reported the State is working to close a$1.5 bilfion budget gap. This
morning the House released their budget which calls for cuts of $86million to revenues
, for cities. The impact to Federal Way would be approximatdy $800k per year in lost
revenues.
� Cops Grant
Mayor Priest stated the City was awarded the COPS grant late last year from the
City Council Minutes — February 21, 20i2 Regular Meeting Page 1 of 6
Department of Justice and the City asked for an extension to determine if we could
accept the grant. The City will inform the Department of Justice that we cannot accept
the grant. The grant would have added three commissioned Police Officers; however,
the gap between the grant requirements and City's budget reality was made much
worse today by the House budget proposal. With the matching requirements
associated with the grant, it woufd move the City away from achieving a sustainable
budget.
In addition, with the closing of PJ Pockets Casino the City will lose another $300k in
gambling tax revenue annually.
