January 31, 1996
Honorable Mayor and City Council
People of the City of Federal Way
, Like a11 municipal budgets, this document is both a policy statement and a financing plan for the City's
operations and capital improvement prograrns. It is, however, a budget unlike others the City has adopted
because it addresses for the first time these four objectives:
'
'
'
C_J
�
��
'
�
� J
'� 1
,
'
�
�
♦ It is a rehearsal for adoption of a two year budget for the years 1997-1998 and beyond;
♦ It incorporates long term strategies that can stabilize future City budgets;
♦ It begins budgeting for a new municipal department of public safety;
♦ It begins to address reducing costs associated with non-essential municipal functions.
LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE
The City of Federal Way receives most of its income from two sources: sales tax and property tax.
Actions which decrease these and other sources of revenue will have an impact on the kind and level of
services that the City will offer to its constituents.
The goal, therefore, in developing Federal Way's 1996 budget is to establish a strong foundation for the
City to successfully engage the uncertainties of the future. Factors with potential for impacting the City's
budget include: competing for retail sales with the Superniall of the Northwest; absorbing local cardroom
impacts from the opening of the Mukleshoot Casino; assuming responsibilities shifted from both State and
County to the local level, balancing property rights with the protection of the public iriterest, and last but
not least, underwriting the continued costs of unfunded manda.tes such as the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA), the Commercial Driver License Drug and Alcohol Testing requirements, and domestic violence
prosecution.
Strategies to compensate for these and other uncertainties include controlling and managing costs in a
conservative manner, and maintauung a sufficient reserve. Some prudent specific actions include reducing
present costs wherever possible, reducing or eliminating subsidies of selected City programs, measuring
the cost effectiveness of City actions and deleting those which are marginal, and placing un-allocated
monies in the City reserve accounts.
This letter details the incorporation of certain strategies into the 1996 adopted budget and outines plans for
future budget strategies.
BASE-LINE BUDGET
Staff developed budgets that simply continued 1995 programs and services into 1996. Accordingly, the
1996 budget is similar to the second year of a biennial budget. �n additioq each department identified up to
4% of their 1995 budget for reallocation either for new initiatives which would better serve the community
or as those that were the least important or effective current programs. The adopted budget reflects the
'
reallocation of lower priority resources to meet changing needs. The City Council will be reviewing these
baseline service levels in 1996 to establish long-term policies for implementation in the 1997-98 biennial
budget and beyond.
SETTING THE FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE BALANCED BUDGETS
Upon projecting expenditures and revenues into the year 1998, it became strikingly apparent that the
budget challenges in 1996 are far less complex than those that lie ahead, in 1997 and beyond. The
significance of the revenue and expenditure differences beyond 1997 warranted immediate action to avoid
drastic changes in services and programs in the biennial period 1997-1998. To begin dealing with a
potentia12.5 million dollar difference between revenues and projected expenditures in that future time
frame, Council implemented ten strategic actions in the 1996 adopted budget as follows:
Reduced the 1996 Budget by $180,000 from the 1995 baseline budget;
2 Established a market driven pay plan in lieu of a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA);
3 Instituted a selective hiring freeze with the goal of reducing five general fund positions by December
1997. Projected savings: $250,000. Withdrew authorization for two unfunded Parks Department
positions allocated to the Visitation Retreat and Cultural Center;
4 Limited future department budget increases for operations to 2% per year or approximately 70% of
the consumer price index. New programs will be funded by redirecting base-line dollars. Savings:
$400,000;
5 Capped police operating costs at $ 9.5 million dollars in 1997. Future operation increases will be
limited to 4% per year from 1997 and thereafter. Savings: $800,000;
6 Discontinued General Fund subsidy to Visitation Retreat and Cultural Center by 1997. The last year
of subsidy is 1996, which is estimated to be $69,000;
7
10
Continued fully funding the solid waste management program with grants and franclrise fees;
Adjusted recreation fees to improve the recovery ratio from 30-34% to 40-45%;
Eliminated not-for-profit organization exemptions for building and land use fees;
Reduced the Street Fund payment to the Surface Water Management fund for right-of-ways to 30 %
of surface water fees which represents $�1,000 in 1996.
In addition, the City Council will be reviewing three stategic actions during 1996 for potential
implementation during the 1997-98 biennial budget. The results of Council's actions will be included in the
budget policies and long range financial plan. The following are the three areas Council will be reviewing:
1 Consideration of adjusting property talc annually by inflatioq which is estimated to generate $500,000
in additional revenue in the third year, or $167,000 additional revenue each year.
2 Baseline service funding level and the levels to fund specific programs (including Arts and Human
Services) on an ongoing basis

3 Arterial Street overlay funding level and long-term maintenance needs. Currently tlus program is
� partially funded with $161,370 in general fund property taxes, for a total funding level of
approximately $700,000 in the 1996 adopted budget.
'
�
�
All of the above strategies are necessary to maintain the long-term balance of the City's expenditures and
revenues. By initiating some of these proactive actions and reviewing others in 1996 we can set the stage to
handle future unknown contingencies rather than placing ourselves in a position in the near-future of having
to make decisions in a crisis-filled environment.
PROGRAM CHANGES
Within the context of reallocation of resources and the direction to create a new Department of Public
Safety, the Council adopted some personnel and program changes in the 1996 budget.
, Personnel:
To support the operations of the new public safety department -
♦ 1.5 analyst and technician in Human Resources

♦ Annual review of cable rates $4,000.
♦ Geographic Information System equipment and software upgrade $41,000.
♦ Municipal Code-book revision $11,375, to incorporate comprehensive plan changes.
♦ Airport and third runway issues $100,000.
♦ Emergency management supplies $3,500.
�
♦
♦
1.0 Accounting technician in Management Services
1.0 Attomey in Law
♦ 1.0 document management position in Management Services
Funding for these positions will be available in the new department budget during 1996 and are
included in the ongoing (1997 and beyond) projections for the department.
To support general operadons -
♦ 1.0 street project engineer for street overlays, sidewalk improvements and capital projects
currently funded but not fully undertaken due to a lack of project management staff.
♦ 1.0 surface water construction coordinator to manage capital construction projects and inspect
retention/detention facilities to assure their proper operation.
♦ 0.5 office support position in Management Services Department to reduce reliance on overtime
and temporary help.
Reallocation of existing funding is available for all positions to support general operations.
Non personnel program changes adopted in 1996 include:
♦ Begin to pre-fund pay-for-performance over a two year period at $200,000/year.
♦ Annual employee salary survey to support market based pay ranges at $3,000.
l�
'
♦ Right of Way Inspector contracted services $20,000 (funded with fee increase).
The total budget impact of personnel and non-personnel changes is $ 401,550, of which $394,550 are one-
time only expenses, and the remaining $7,000 represents on-going expenses.
CONFORMING WITH FISCAL POLICIES
Commit On-Going Resources for Debt Service Transfer
Earlier this year it became apparent that real estate taxes alone were not sufficient to meet the City's debt
service obligation and that continued transfers from the General Fund may be necessary in the near future.
This is significant as the City's policy requires on going operations to be funded with on going resources.
This shift reduces resources that would otherwise have been available to support on-going prograzns.
Fund Major Building Repair and Replacement Needs
Current fiscal policy establishes "replacement reserves" for vehicles, equipment, fixtures, and furniture.
No provision is now made for buildings, structures or components repair or replacement. The 1996 adopted
budget includes $25,000 for the repair and maintenance of the Klahanee Lake Community/Senior Center to
address wear and deterioration on the facility. Additionally, $17,000 is included in the 1996 budget to re-
paint and re-seal City Ha11 to preclude further weather damage to the structure. An inter-department team
is reviewing future needs for major repairs/improvements to existing City facilities and the findings will be
forwarded to Council for consideration in future budgets.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
The municipal budgeting process is one of the most important forms in which Council sets policies and
service priorities through the allocation of resources. This budget was developed with the thoughtful
deliberations of the City Council, �along with the abundant talent pools among our caring community
members, advisory boards, commissions and City employees. There are exciting opportunities among the
challenges ahead in 1996 and beyond. We remain committed to working with the City Council to formulate
a strategic plan which meets Federal Way's vision, wlule maintaining fiscal integrity.

OPERATING BUDGET
A.
B
C.
OVERALL
The budget should be a performance, financing and spending plan agreed to by
the Mayor, City Council, City Manager and Department Directors. It should
contain information and data regarding expected revenues, expected
expenditures and expected performance.
2. The City will prepare and annually refine written policies and goals to guide the
preparation of performance, financing and spending plans for the City budget.
Adopted budgets will comply with the adopted budget policies and Council
priorities.
3. As a comprehensive business plan, the budget should provide the following
critical elements recommended by the Government Finance Officers
Association: public policies, financial plan, operations guide, and
communications device.
4. The City's annual budget presentation should display the City's service
delivery/performance plan in a Council/constituent-friendly format. Therefore,
the City will use a program budgeting format to convey the policies for and
purposes of City operations. The City will also prepare the line-item format
materials for those who wish to review that information.
Decision making for capital improvements will be coordinated with the operating
budget to make effective use of the City's limited resources for operating and
maintaining facilities.
6. Under the City Manager's direction, Department Directors have primary
responsibility for: a) formulating budget proposals in line with City Council and
City Manager priority direction, and b) implementing those proposals once they
are approved.
FISCAL INTEGRITY
The City will maintain the fiscal integrity of its operating, debt service, and
capital improvement budgets which provide services and maintain certain public
facilities, streets and utilities. It is the City's intent to maximize the level of
public goods and services while minimizing the level of debt.
2. Ongoing operating program costs will not exceed the amount of ongoing
revenue to finance those costs. The ongoing revenue will be identified along
with new program costs. Any available carryover balance will only be used to
offset one-time or non-recumng costs.
3
4
Cash balances in excess of the amount required to maintain strategic reserves
will be used to fund one-time or non-recurring costs.
Mitigation fees shall be used only for the project or purpose for which they were
intended.
CONTINGENT ACCOUNTS

accommodate unexpected operational changes, legislative impacts, or other

economic events affecting the City's operations which could not have been
reasonably anticipated at the time the budget was prepared. Funding shall be
targeted at three (3) percent of the City's operating expenditures.
� 2. The City shall establish a Strategic Reserve Fund which shall neither be
appropriated nor spent without Council authorization. The purpose of the fund is
to provide some fiscal means for the City to respond to potential adversities
� such as public emergencies, natural disasters or similarly major, unanticipated
projects. Funding shall be targeted at not less than five (5) percent of the City's
operating expenditures.
3.
4.
�
J
The City shall prefund each subsequent year's debt service (see 11.6.8 below).
The City shall continue to set aside funding from the Strategic Reserve Fund for
the eventual implementation of a self-insurance program (see details in 5.
below).
5. The City shall continue to set aside funding from the Strategic Reserve Fund for
a self-insurance reserve in the City's Risk Management Fund. As the City's mix
and level of liabilities increase, it should have a foundation to implement a cost
effective program to mitigate the expense of commercial insurance. The intent
is to transfer investment earnings from the Strategic Reserve Fund into the self-
insurance reserve until the self-insurance program is ready to be fully
implemented. After that point the required amount will be transferred to
appropriately fund the self-insurance reserve. Similar transfers will occur
annually after that initial set-up.
6. The City shall fund certain asset replacement reserves through depreciation
charges paid to the Internal Service Funds (see 7. below).
�
�
��
��
�
7. Replacement reserves based on historical value will be established for any
equipment, furnishings, and computer software when the need will continue
beyond the estimated initial useful life, regardless of whether the equipment is
acquired via lease, gift or purchase. An amount equal to the depreciation will be
included in the service charges paid by City departments to the various Intemal
Service funds (Building, Fleet and Equipment, GIS, Communications, and Data
Processing). The furnishings reserve may be used for building rehabilitation and
will be replenished in accordance with 9 below. This will permit the
accumulation of cash to cost-effectively replace these assets and smooth out
future budgetary impacts.
8. The strategic reserve and self-insurance reserve should be replenished as soon
, � as possible and always within three subsequent years from the time the reserve
is used or falls below the target. Sources to replenish these reserves shall be
from undesignated fund balances, deferring non-life safety capital, and operating
revenues in this order.
�
LJ
�
10
Fumishing Replacement Reserve (if used for building rehabilitation projects):
An amount equal to twice the annual depreciation of the project cost will be
charged to each department until cost is fully recovered.
The City shall maintain a$100,000 reserve in the Snow and Ice Removal Fund.
This reserve is established for use in the event a major storm occurs and
additional funds, above the annual operating allocation, are needed.

REVENUES
1. Revenue estimates shall not assume any growth rate in excess of inflation. Real
growth that occurs will be recognized through budgetary adjustments only after it
takes place. This practice imposes short term constraint on the level of public
goods or services. However, in the event that revenues are less than expected,
it minimizes the likelihood of severe cutback actions which may be profoundly
disruptive to the goal of providing a consistent level of quality services.
��
�
�
2. Investment income earned through the City's investment pool shall be budgeted
based upon the allocation methodology, i.e. the projected average monthly �
balance of each participating fund.
CONTRACTUAL SERVICES
1. The City will continue to thoroughly investigate the feasibility of contracting
certain public services in accordance with Council Resolution No. 92-103.
MINIMIZATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
1. An appropriate balance will be maintained between resources allocated for direct
services to the public and resources allocated to assure sound management,
intemal controls, and legal compliance.
RETIREMENT
1. The budget shall provide for adequate funding of the City's retirement system.
MONTHLY REPORT
1.
`�
The budget will be produced so that it can be directly compared to the actual
results of the fiscal year and presented in a timely monthly report.
All budget amendments, both revenues and expenditures, will be noted in the
monthly report.
MULTI-YEAR ESTIMATES
1.
2.
Each year, the City will update expenditu�e and revenue projections for the next
ten years. Projections will include estimated operating costs for future capital
improvements that are included in the capital budget.
This budget data will be presented to elected officials in a form that will facilitate
annual budget decisions, based on a multi-year strategic planning perspective.
CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
1
�
Citizen involvement shall be encouraged in the annual budget decision making
process through public hearings and study sessions.
Involvement shall also be facilitated through City boards, task forces and
commissions, which shall serve in advisory capacities to the City Council and/or
City Manager.

FEES
2.
Fees shall be phased toward covering 100% of the cost of service delivery,
unless such amount prevents an individual from obtaining an essential service.
Fees or service charges should not be established to generate money in excess
of the cost of providing service.
Fees may be less than 100% if other factors (e.g. market forces, competitive
position, etc.) need to be recognized.
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
1. Future funding decisions regarding nonprofit organizations will be based on
guidelines, policies and priorities determined by the City Council and availability
of financing based on General Fund spending prio�ities.
CAPITAL BUDGET
A, FISCAL POLICIES
Capital project proposals should include as complete, reliable, and attainable
cost estimates as possible. Project cost estimates for the Capital Budget should
be based upon a thorough analysis of the project and are expected to be as
reliable as the level of detail known about the project. Project cost estimates for
the Ten-Year City Improvement Plan will vary in reliability depending on whether
they are to be undertaken in the first, fifth or tenth year of the Plan.
2. Capital proposals should include a comprehensive resource plan. This plan
should include the amount and type of resources required, and the funding and
financing strategies to be employed. The specific fund and timing should be
outlined. The plan should indicate resources needed to complete any given
phase of a project in addition to the total project.
3. All p�oposals for the expenditure of capital funds shall be formulated and
presented to Council within the framework of a general capital budget and,
except in exceptional circumstances of an emergency nature, no consideration
will be given to the commitment of any capital funds, including reserve funds, in
isolation from a general review of all capital budget requirements.
4
5
L
Changes in project estimates for the comprehensive resource plan should be
fully reported to the City Council for review and approval.
Project proposals should indicate the project's impact on the operating budget,
including, but not limited to, long-term maintenance costs necessary to support
the improvement.
At the time of contract award, each project shall include reasonable provision for
contingencies:
The amount set aside for contingencies shall co�respond with industry
standards and shall not exceed ten (10) percent, or a percentage as
otherwise determined by the City Council of the total contract amount.
13
��
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 1996 ADOPTED BUDGET
BUDGET POLIG[�S
b. Project contingencies may, unless othervvise determined by the City
Council, be used only to compensate for unforeseen circumstances
requiring additional funds to complete the project within the original
project scope and identified needs.
7.
Q
c. For budgeting purposes, project contingencies are a reasonable
estimating tool. At the time of the contract award, the project's budgeted
appropriation, including contingency, will be replaced with a new
appropriation equal to the approved project contract contingency
developed in the manner described above.
The City Administration shall seek ways of ensuring that administrative costs of
carrying out the City Improvement Plan are kept at appropriate levels.
The Annual Capital Budget shall include only those projects which can
reasonably be accomplished in the time frame indicated. The detail sheet for
each budgeted capital project should include a projected schedule.
9. Capital projects which are not encumbered or completed during the fiscal year
will be rebudgeted or carried over to the next fiscal year except as reported to
and subsequently approved by the City Council. All rebudgeted capital projects
should be so noted in the Adopted Capital Budget. Similarly, multi-year projects
with unencumbered or unexpended funds will be carried over to the subsequent
year(s).
10.
11.
If a proposed project will cause a direct negative impact on other publicly-owned
facilities, improvements to the other facilities will be required as part of the new
project and become a part of the new project's comprehensive costs.
Capital projects will not be budgeted unless there are reasonable expectations
that revenues will be available to pay for them.
B. DEBT POLICIES
Short-term lines of credit, tax or Revenue Anticipation Notes may be used only
when the City's ability to implement approved programs and projects is seriously
hampered by temporary cash flow shortages. In general, these Notes will be
avoided. No other form of debt will be used to finance ongoing operational
costs.
4
2. Whenever possible, the City shall identify alternative sources of funding and
shall examine the availability of those sources in order to minimize the level of
debt.
Whenever possible, the City shall use special assessment, revenue, or other
self-supporting bonds instead of general obligation debt.
4. Long term general obligation debt will be incurred when necessary to acquire
land or fixed assets, based upon the ability of the City to pay. This debt shall be
limited to those capital improvements that cannot be financed from existing
revenues and when there is an existing or near-term need for the project. The
project should also be integrated with the City's long term financial plan and City
Improvement Plan.
The maturity date for any debt will not exceed the reasonable expected useful
life of the project so financed.

Fifty percent (50%) of the principal of any long term indebtedness should be
retired over 10 years.
Current year revenues shall be set aside to pay for the subsequent year's debt
service payments. This is intended to immunize the City's bondholders from any
short term volatility in revenues.
The City shall encourage and maintain good relations with financial and bond
rating agencies, and will follow a policy of full and open disclosure on every
financial report and bond prospectus.
The City shall establish affordability guidelines in order to preserve credit quality.
One such guideline, which may be suspended for emergency purposes, or
because of unusual circumstances, is as follows:
Debt service to be repaid with operating revenues should not exceed 8% of the
respective ope�ating budget.
CITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) POUCIES
1. Citizen participation in the City Improvement Program is a priority for the City.
Among the activities which shall be conducted to address this need are the
following:
a
�
c.
d.
The City Improvement Plan shall be provided to the City Council in a
timely manner to allow time for the Council members to review the
proposal with constituents before it is considered for adoption.
Council study sessions on the City Improvement Plan shall be open to
the public and advertised su�ciently in advance of the meetings to allow
for the attendance of interested citizens.
Prior to the adoption of the City Improvement Plan, the City Council
shall hold noticed public hearings to provide opportunities for citizens to
express their opinions on the proposed plan.
The City Planning Commission shall review the proposed City
Improvement Plan and provide its comments on the Plan's contents
before the Council considers the Plan for adoption.
2. All projects included in the City Improvement Plan shall be consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan. The goals and policies for services, facilities, and
transportation should be followed in the development of the City Improvement
Plan. The Comprehensive Plan service level goals should be called out in the
City Improvement Plan.
3.
!�
Capital projects shall be financed to the greatest extent possible through user
fees and benefit districts when direct benefit to users results from construction of
the project. Refer to Debt Policies for further detail.
Projects that involve intergovemmental cooperation in planning and funding
should be established by an agreement that sets forth the basic responsibilities
of the parties involved.
� 15
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 1996 ADOPTED BUDG
5. The Council will annually review and establish criteria against which capital
proposals should be measured. Included among the factors which will be
�considered for priority-ranking are the following:
a. Projecis which have a positive impact on the operating budget (reduced
expenditures, increased revenues);
b. Projects which are programmed in the Ten-Year Operating Budget
Forecast;
c. Projects which can be completed or significantly advanced during the
Ten-Year City Improvement Plan;
d. Projects which can be realistically accomplished during the year they are
scheduled;
e. Projects which implement previous Council-adopted reports and
strategies.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 1996 ADOPTED BUDGET
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING
Accountinp
Accounting records for the City are maintained in accordance with methods prescribed by the State
Auditor under the authority of Washington State law, Chapter 43.09 R.C.W., and in compliance with
generally accepted accounting principles as set forth by the Govemmental Accounting Standards Board.
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accountinq
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account groups. Each fund is a
separate accounting entity with a self-balancing group of accounts. There are three broad fund
categories, seven generic fund types within those categories and two account groups. A purpose and
description of the fund is provided on the fund pages in the Budget by Fund section of this budget
document.
Basis of Accountinq
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues, expenditures, expenses, transfers and the related assets
and liabilities are recognized and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the
timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
The accrua/ basis of accounting is used by proprietary fund types, pension trust funds and
nonexpendable trust funds. Under this method, revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses
are recognized when incurred.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by governmental, expendable trust and agency funds.
Revenues and other financial resources are recognized when they become susceptible to accrual, i.e.,
when the related funds become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current
period. To be considered "available", revenue must be collected during the current period or soon
enough thereafter to pay current liabilities.
Budaets and Budpetarv Accountinq
Scope of Budget - Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the general, special revenue, debt
se►vice, and proprietary funds on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Certain special revenue and
capital project funds, however, are budgeted on a multi-year basis. For govemmental funds, there are
no differences between the budgetary basis and generally accepted accounting principles. Budgets for
project/grant related special revenue funds and capital project funds are adopted at the level of the
individual project and for fiscal periods that correspond to the lives of projects.
Legal budgetary control is established at the fund level, i.e., expenditures for a fund may not exceed the
total appropriation amount. The City Manager may authorize transfers of appropriations within a fund,
but the City Council must approve by o�dinance any increase in total fund appropriations. Any
unexpended appropriation balances for annually budgeted funds lapse at the end of the year.
Appropriations for other special purpose funds that are non-operating in nature are adopted on a"project-

The long range projection above is an improved picture from those presented in prior budgets due to the
regionalization of health services, the cap on the court services conVact, and the formation of a City Police
Department wtuch eliminated the fastest escaladng elements in our budget. With these changes,
expenditures are expected to increase at an average of 4.2% per year, while revenues grow at approximately
2.1% per year. General inflation is projected to be between 3 and 3.5%. The key underlining assumptions
aze listed below. Without taking acny action, the estimated expenditure/revenue difference is estimated to be
�2.5 million in 1998 and the gap will continue to widen should the current vend persists.
Revenue Assumptions:
Most revenues are projected to increase between 3 to 3.5% per year, or consistent with inflation, with the
following excepdons:
• Property Taxes - No tax increases projected. The only increase reflected is from new construction which
is projected at 0.75% (or a42,000) a year;
• State shared revenues will generate $5.7 million in 1995, and are projected to decrease to $4.5 million
in 1997, before stabilizing.
Expenditure Assumptions:
The majority of the expenditures aze projected to increase at a rate of intlation except those listed below
• Police Department to increase at an average of 5%;
• Jail cost increase at 10% per year; and
• Municipal Court costs increase at 6% per year.

To bridge the gap and reverse the trend, the following strategies aze recommended for the City Council to
consider. With all the strategies implemented, increases in both the total revenue and the total expenditure can
be held to about 2.7% per year, or between 75% to 90% of inflation. Strategies in italics will be reviewed by
Council during 1996. The remainder of these strategies have been approved in the 1996 Adopted Budget.
Ten Fxpenditure Controls:
• Reduce baseline expenditures by S 180,000;
• Establish a market driven pay plan in lieu of Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA);
• Institute a selective hiring freeze with the objective to reduce 5 positions by 1998;
• Limit general cost increases to 2% or 70% of infladon per year,
• Contain police operating cost increases to 4% per year from the 59.5 base in 1997;
• Discountinue General Fund subsidy to Visitation Retreat and Cultural Center by 1997;
• Stablize General Fund a/location to the arts;
• Stablize General Fund allocation to human service programs;
• Reduce Street Fund payment to the Surface Water Management Fund for City right-of-ways to the same
level as state right-of-ways;
• Continue the Solid Waste management program as fully funded by grants and franchise fees.
Four Revenue Strategies:
• Adjust recreation fees and improve the recovery ratio to 40-45%;
• Eliminate exemption for not-for-profit building & land use fees;
• Reallocate property tazes dedicated to Arterial Street Fund to General Fund,•
• Adjust property tax annually to in,Jlation.

Under RCW 39.36.020(2), the public may vote to approve bond issues for general govemment in an
amount not to exceed 2.5% of the value of all taxable property within the City. Within the 2.5% limit, the
City Council may approve bond issues not to exceed 1.5% of the City's assessed valuation. Prior to the
passage of new legislation in 1994, the statutory limit on councilmanic (non-voted) debt for general
govemment purposes was 0.75% of assessed valuation. Another 0.75% of councilmanic debt was
available only for lease-purchase contracts (RCW 35.43.200). Now, theses two components have been
combined and it can be used for any municipal purpose, including using the entire 1.5% for bonds. The
City's remaining debt capacity within the 2.5% limit is estimated to be $75,298,177.
Under RCW 39.36.030(4), the public may also vote to approve park facilities and utility bond issues,
each of which is also limited to 2.5°� of the City's assessed valuation. A total of 7.5% of the City's
assessed valuation may be issued in bonds. The remaining debt capacity within the 7.S�o limit is
estimated to be $269,154,785. Unlimited tax general obligation debt requires an approving vote of the
people, and any election to validate such general obligation debt must have a voter tumout of at least
40% of those who voted in the last State general election and of those voting, 60% must be in the
affirmative. The debt capacity for the City of Federal Way for 1996 is anticipated to be as follows:
The following table illustrates a summary of G.O. Bond and Certificates of Participation (Capital Leases)
the City has issued. On May 13, 1993, the City issued $12,105,000 in G.O. Bonds to advance refund
$11,125,000 of outstanding 1991 G.O. Bonds. The net proceeds of $11,867,177 (after payment of
$237,823 in issuance costs) were used to purchase U.S. Govemment securities which were deposited in
an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide for all future debt service payments on the
$11,125,000 outstanding G.O. Bonds. As a result, the $11,125,000 in G.O. Bonds are considered to be
defeased and the tiability for those bonds has been removed from the City's financial records.

The City's regular property tax levy is projected to increase $221,390, or 3.8%, from $5,758,945
budgeted in 1995 to $5,980,335 adopted in 1996. Though the City's levy amount is higher than in 1995,
the result will be �a similar levy rate for most Federal Way property owners. This is due primarily to an
increase AV from the annexation of Weyerhaeuser Company's corporate headquarters. Delinquencies
are projected to be 1% in 1996, the same as in 1995.

The maximum regular property tax levy for most cities and towns is $3.375 per thousand doilars
assessed valuation (A�. Cities which have a Fireman's Pension Fund can levy an additional $.225 per
thousand dollars assessed valuation, resulting in a maximum levy of $3.60 per thousand dollars AV.
The City's property tax tevy is subject to the lesser of the 106°k tax lid calculation and the statutory
maximum. Under the 106% tax lid calculation, the maximum levy would be $7,037,917 or approximately
$1.81/$1,000 AV. However, if the City were levying its maximum levy, the limiting factor would be the
statutory levy calculation. Under the statutory maximum, the City can levy a value calculated at $3.60
less the rates assessed by other taxing jurisdictions within Federal Way. The maximum regular property
tax levy for Federal Way is $1.60 /$1,000 AV, or $6,110,497. The remainder of the levy ($2.00) belongs
to special districts, namely the Federal Way Library District and Fire District #39, whose maximum
property tax levy rates are $0.50 and $1.50 /$1,000 AV, respectively. However, the City has the
authority to levy an amount higher than $1.60 if one or both of the special districts are not levying their
maximum amount.
The City's 1995 assessed valuation (used to calculate 1996 property taxes) is $3,877,132,136, which is
$177,968,250 or 4.8% above the 1994 AV ($3,699,163,886). The new AV is comprised of the 1994 AV
($3,699,163,886) plus new construction ($57,043,290), which is estimated to total 1.5% of 1994's AV and
the properties associated with Weyerhaeuser annexation ($120,924,960). Since the AV has increased
by 4.8%, the estimated 3.8% increase in property taxes will not result in a higher levy rate for 1996. The
1996 levy rate is estimated to be $1.556/$1,000 AV. The levy rate in 1995 was $1.572.
The following graph illustrates a
breakdown of all property tax
levies imposed on Federal Way
property owners in 1995. The
largest portion is the voter-
approved levy imposed by
Federal Way School District
#210 ($5.18 or 33.9°� of the
total levy). The second largest
is the nonvoter approved levy
imposed by the State of
Washington ($3.42 or 22.4% of
the total levy) in support of
funding for schools. In all,
public education comprises
56.3% of the 1995 property tax
bill.

The City of Federal Way makes up approximately 10.3°k of the total bill received by property owners.
The City's proportion of the total property tax bill has decreased from 11.7°� in 1991 to its current level of
10.3°�. Since the City currently has no voter-approved outstanding bonds, there is no voter-approved
levy to support the annual debt service on that debt. The City's levy is therefore Council-approved and is
used to support general govemment services such as law enforcement, jail services, parks and
recreation and human services.

SALES TAX
Sales tax is one of the City's most economically sensitive revenue sources and one of the more volatile
components of the General Fund budget.
The 1996 sales tax estimate is projeded to increase $297,163 or 3.9°k, from $7,654,945 budgeted in
1995 to $7,952,108 estimated in 1996.

7,804,298
147.810
In 1995, a year end sales tax overcollection of $149,353 is projected. The majority of this growth can be
directly attributed to sales generated through increased activity in the retailing industry, specifically the
building materials and restaurant industries. The addition of new businesses such as Home Depot, Good
Guys, Circuit City and several restaurants has had a positive impact on sales tax revenue. However,
other components of retail trade, such as the automotive, merchandise, and apparel retailers have been
experiencing a decline in sales activity. The weakness in durable goods including home furnishings and
electronics are reflective of the housing market's slowdown. Nationally, the leading retailers are
reporting lackluster sales which are expected not to improve until late 1995.
Other components of the retail industry such as contracting and services have also contributed to the
growth in 1995 sales tax revenues. The increase in services is attributable to an increase in activity for
smaller business and personal service activity. Increased construction (both public and private
developments) throughout the City has resulted in increased contracting related sales tax.
The 1996 budget projects sales tax to increase at a rate much tower than inflation (1.9%) over the 1995
year end estimate. This conservative estimate takes into consideration the fact that 1995 sales tax
revenues generated by retailers, which comprises almost 70°� of the City's sales tax revenues, is
projected to increase by a marginal amount over 1994 adivity. There is also the uncertainty of the
impact a new Super Mall and Wal•Mart, located just outside the City's limits, will have on Federal Way
businesses. No real growth outside of inflation is assumed in 1996, in accordance with Council policy.

Legislation (RCW 82.14.030) allows cities, towns and counties to tax retail sales at a rate of .5%. Of the
tax collected within cities and towns, 15% is allocated to their respective counties. In effect, this drops
the city rate to .425%. During the 1982 legislative session, another half cent of optional taxing authority
was added making the potentiai local rate 1%. As before, however, 15% of this additional sales tax
within cities and towns is aliocated to their respective counties. For the county to fully share in a city's
optional tax, it has to impose the optional tax in the unincorporated area at a rate equal to that in the city.
The City of Federal Way levies both half cents (1 %), with 15°k of this amount allocated to King County.
Therefore, the City's effective sales tax rate is .85%.

reason for this decrease is attributable to a slowdown in the collection of real estate excise taxes (REE�

Criminal Justice Sales Tax
The 1996 revenue projection includes $1,097,295 for criminal justice sales tax which is to be used
exclusively for criminal justice purposes and cannot be used to replace or supplant existing funding
(RCW 82.14.340). The criminal justice sales tax projection is projected to increase $46,625, or 4.4%,
from $1,050,670 budgeted in 1995. The 1996 adopted estimate is expected to increase $21,515 or
2.0% over the 1995 year end estimate.
This one-tenth of 1°k sales tax increase was approved by voters at the November, 1990 primary election.
The funds collected throughout King County (see sales tax allocation table) are distributed to the cities
based on a population foITnula after 10% is distributed to the County.
The authority for this Act was set to expire on January 1, 1994; however, during the 1993 legislative
session the City/County Criminal Justice Assistance Act was reenacted. The legislation permanently
provided for allocation of state motor vehicle excise tax (MVE� revenues to cities, towns and counties
for criminal justice assistance, and extends authority to all counties to impose a non-voter approved one-
tenth of 1% criminal justice sales tax.
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)
The real estate excise tax of 1.28°� is levied 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 (RCW
82.46.010). In addition, cities and counties are also authorized to impose a second 0.25°� tax. The City
levies both the First'/.% and Second'/°k (Optional) REET. The following table illustrates the allocation
of real estate excise taues between the State, County and City of Federal Way.

The First 1/4% Real Estate Excise Tax (REE� must be spent solely on capital projects that are listed in
the capital facilities element of the City's comprehensive plan. The City has adopted and relied upon its
interim capital facilities plan (CFP) element as the foundation for allocating these funds to debt service
for qualified projects. The long range plan includes the first 1/4°� real estate excise tax to help prefund
the debt service on the City's outstanding G.O. Bonds and Certificates of Participation.
The Second Real Estate Excise Tax must also be spent solely on capital projects. Capital projects are
defined as those public works projects of a local govemment for planning, acquisition, construction,
reconstrudion, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, or improvement of streets, roads, highways,
sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic signals, bridges, domestics water systems, storm and
sanitary sewer systems, and planning, construction, reconstruction, repair, rehabilitation, or improvement
of parks. The acquisition of land for parks is not a permitted use of these funds, but there are
grandfathering provisions similar to those which accommodate the City of Federal Way's debt service for
its qualified projects funded under the first quarter percent. The long range plan includes the second
1/4% real estate excise tax to assist prefunding the debt service on the 1991 G.O. Bond Issue
(Celebration Park site issue).
The 1996 adopted estimates include $888,016 for Real Estate Excise Taxes (REE�. The REET budget
is projected to decrease $453,984, or 33.8%, from the 1995 budget ($1,342,000), and increase $8,792,

or 1.0% from the 1995 year end estimate ($879,224). The decrease in 1995 year end estimates over
1995 budget projections is a reflection of a significant slowdown in real estate activity within Federal
Way.
Leasehold Excise Tax
The 1976 Legislature established a 12.84°k tax to be levied either on the contract rent or other instances.
� Most leases of publicly-owned �eal and personal property in the state are subject to a leasehold excise
tax in lieu of a property tax. The maximum levy rate is 12.84°� with cities and counties authorized to
collectively levy up to 6% of the total levy rate. The maximum city rate is 4°�. If a city chooses not to
levy its maximum, the county is authorized to capture this tauing authority. The City has a fully-executed
� agreement with the State Department of Revenue to levy and collect leasehold excise taxes within the
city limits, at the maximum rate.

The 1996 adopted estimate for leasehold excise tax totals $7,210, a$210 or 3.0% increase over the

Gamblina Excise Tax
The 1996 revenue projections
include $280,575 for gambling
excise taxes. The gambling
excise tax estimates are projected
to decrease $82,300, or 22.7%,
from the 1995 adopted estimate
($362,875) and $91,282 or 24.5%,
from the 1995 year end estimate

The City's tax rate is 10% for bingo and raffles, 2% for amusement games, 11 % for cardrooms, and 5%
fo� punchboards and pulltabs (Ordinance 90-15, as amended). The maximum tax rates allowed by RCW
9.46.110 is 10% for bingo and raffles, 2% for amusement games, 20% for cardrooms, and 5% for

INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUE
The intergovemmental state-shared revenue estimate is projected to decrease $790,422, or 14.6%, from
$5,420,442 estimated for 1995 year end to $4,630,020 in 1996. The 1996 adopted estimate is $511,824,
or 9.9% below the 1995 adopted budget estimates ($5,141,844). The reason for this significant decrease
is due primarily to a substantial decrease in the estimate for motor vehicle excise taxes (MVE�, criminal
justice high crime proceeds, and equalization payments. The Office of Financial Management reports
that the City's population totals 74,290, an increase of 790 or 1.1 °k over the 1994 figure (73,500). This
new population figure will be used to calculate 1996 state-shared revenues.
Beginning in 1996, the City's share of MVET will drop by one-third. This portion will be receipted to the
County in support of public health services. in lieu of losing one-third of the MVET, the City will realize
expenditure savings totaling $900,000 from not having to administer a public health services contract
with King County.

The 1996 Adopted Budget
assumes only one quarter of
high crime proceeds, since it is
awarded from July 1 to June
30. High crime distributions are
made to cities whose crime rate
is in excess of 125% of the
statewide average as
calculated by the Washington
Association of Sheriffs and
Police Chiefs (VNASPC).
The decrease in equalization
payments is based on the
assumption that only 80% of
total available funding will be
collected. it also takes into

new cities that will be fully incorporated by 1996. Since the amount of funds available to cities will not be
increased proportional to the increase in population, distributions are estimated to decrease to all eligible
cities (RCW 82.14.210(6)).
Motor Vehicle Excise Tax
This tax is coilected on motor vehicles at the time owners purchase their vehicle licenses. Cities are
' currently allocated 8.83°/a of the total amount collected by the state which is distributed on a per capita
basis. Beginning January 1, 1996, one-third of the cities' MVET revenue wili be distributed to the
counties in exchange for the county paying for all public health costs. The legislation outiining these
changes was passed in 1995. Cities wiii be removed from the state Board of Health and will no longer be
, authorized to serve on any local board of health. The City of Federal Way stands to gain from this
legislation; the City's pubiic heaith contract exceeds the amount of MVET revenue anticipated to be lost
by approximately $450,000 in 1996.

The 1995 per capita amount has been adjusted upward by 1.9% from $17.81 per capita originally
budgeted to $18.27 year end estimate. The original estimate was based on information available last
year; however, due to the minimal impact Boeing layoffs have actually had on the overaii economy and
a somewhat steady economy, the amount has been adjusted accordingly. Other variabies driving this
revenue source are state-wide population growth, which is estimated to be 4.7%, and the increase in the
value of vehicles state-wide. The average growth rate for MVET during the 1980-90 period was 9.5%
per annum. The state currently is projecting an average growth rate in total excise tax collections of
approximately 4.2� between 1997 - 2001. These funds must be used for police or fire protection.
Camqer Excise Tax
This tax is collected on travel trailers and campers at the time owners purchase their vehicle licenses.
Cities are allocated 15% of the total amount collected by the state which is disiributed on a per capita
basis. The per capita amount for 1996 is estimated to be $0.28, which is $0.01 or 3.7% higher than the
1995 year end estimate of $0.27 per capita.
Liquor Board Profits and Excise Taxes
In Washington State, liquor sales are controlled by a state-operated monopoly. Cities and towns receive
40% of the profits generated by the Washington State Liquor Control Board and 28°� of the total liquor
excise tax receipts. The per capita amount for 1996 is estimated to be $6.00 for the Liquor Profits Tax
and $3.00 for the Liquor Excise Tax which generates estimates of $446,478 and $223,239, respectively.
Year end estimates for liquor profit taxes have been adjusted downward by $32,798, or 7.1 °�6 under the
original 1995 adopted amount of $463,785.
The Liquor Control Board reports that the volume of liquor being purchased has decreased due primarily
to higher prices from a tax increase of 20 cents per 750 ml. bottie that went into effect July 1, 1995 and a
change in people's habits regarding liquor consumption. The last time there was a tax increase, sales
fell by 3%.
Cities are required to appropriate at least 2% of these revenues to support approved alcohol and drug
addiction programs. The 1996 appropriation is proposed to be $14,000 and is included in the human
services budget.
Criminal Justice Low Pouulation
This tax is funded with 1.1937% of the motor vehicle excise tax (RCW 82.44.330). The authority for
these funds was set to expire on January 1, 1994; however, the 1993 legislative session reenacted the
City/County Criminal Justice Assistance Act. This Act approved for the continuation of all MVET

distributions but it replaced the per capita distributions to cities and towns with a different distribution
formula. Distributions wiii be made to cities qualifying in the following six areas:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Cities having a violent crime rate in excess of 150°k of the statewide violent crime
rate (limited to $1 per capita).
Cities are allocated funds on the basis of population, with a minimum allocation of
$1,000 to each city or town.
Cities having initiated an innovative law enforcement strategy (limited to $1 per
capita).
Cities having initiated programs to help at-risk children, or child abuse victim
response programs (limited to $.50 per capita).
5. Cities having initiated programs to reduce the level of domestic violence within the
jurisdiction, or provide counseling for domestic violence victims (limited to $.50 per
capita).
6. Cities having contracted to another entity for a majority of their law enforcement.
The estimate will vary depending upon the number of cities applying for these funds
and the cumulative costs of their contracted law enforcement services (no per
capita limit).
The 1996 adopted estimate is projeded to be $341,500 which is $91,500 or 36.6°� above the 1995
adopted estimate ($250,000). The significant increase from 1995 takes into account the allocation of
funds from having initiated programs to assist at-risk children and reducing the level of domestic
violence within the jurisdiction. It was unclear during the 1995 budget process whether or not the City
would qualify to receive these funds. The City currently qualifies in five of the six funding areas; basis of
population; innovative law enforcement; programs to assist at-risk children; programs to reduce the level
of domestic violence; and contracted law enforcement services. The City receives its largest amount for
contracting for law enforcement services (approximately $252,000 in 1996). If the City were to fonn its
own police force, the City would not qualify to receive these funds. Likewise, as more cities (Shoreline,
Newcastle, Unive►sity Place, Lakewood) incorporate state-wide, the vast majority of them will contract for
law enforcement services. This reduces the amount available to the City of Federal Way since the
amount available for cities does not increase with additional incorporations. These funds are specifically
for criminal justice purposes and are not to replace or "supplant" existing funds used for this purpose.
Criminal Justice Hiah Crime
This tax is funded with 1.1937% of the motor vehicle excise tax (RCW 82.44.320). To qualify to receive
these funds, a city or town must have a crime rate in excess of 125% of the statewide average as
calculated by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC); be levying, at the
maximum rate, the second half percent of the sales tax or the extra quarter cent real estate excise tax;
and have a per capita yield from the first half cent of the sales tax of less than 150% of the state-wide
average per capita yield for all cities and towns.
30% of the funds are distributed on the basis of population to cities and towns having a crime rate in
excess of 175°� of the state-wide average. The remainder is distributed to all qualifying cities and towns
solely on the basis of population.
In 1995, the City of Federal Way met all of the criteria outlined above and will receive $230,377 for the
state's fiscal year 1995/96, resulting in $57,000 (for one quarter) estimated in 1995. The City must
resubmit an application (via the police department's annual submittal of crime statistics to WASPC) for

funding each year based on the above criteria and will be notified in July as to the level of funding for the
fiscal year. Therefore, the City oniy includes the $57,000 which has been awarded for the 95/96 fiscai
year.
These funds are specifically for criminal justice purposes and are not to replace or "supplant" existing
funds used for this purpose.
Fuel Excise Tax
The base gas tax in Washington State is 17 cents per gallon. The state shares fuel tax revenues with
cities and towns after deductions for various purposes have been made. The tax is shared in two ways:
Cities receive 6.92% to be deposited into a street fund for street maintenance; an additional 4.61 °k is
distributed to cities and towns to be deposited into an arterial street fund for the construction and
improvement of arterial highways and city streets. The City receipts 0.5°�O of its total motor vehicle fuei
tax receipts into the Path and Trails Fund. These proceeds are legally restricted for the construction and
maintenance of path and trails within City street rights-of-way. �
The 1996 revenue projections include $1,637,830 for fuel taues. The fuel tax estimates have decreased
$47,525, or 2.8%, from $1,685,355 budgeted in 1995. The 1996 adopted estimate has also decreased
$13,715, or 0.8%, from $1,651,545 projected as the 1995 year end estimate. The primary reason for the
drop in fuel tax revenues is due to an increase in population. As more cities (Shoreline, Newcastle,
University Place, Lakewood) incorporate state-wide, the amount available to the �City of Fede�al Way
fails since the amount available for cities does not increase with additional incorporations.
In 1993, the legislature repealed the tax credits and exemptions for all companies except those which
' had sold less than 8 million gallons of alcohol for use as motor fuel in the prior calendar year. The
legislature repealed all exemptions and credits, effedive May 1, 1994. It was thought that this legislation
may be subject to a vote of the people under Initiative 601 because removing tax exemptions and credits
' could be considered a tax increase. A suit was filed in mid-1995 and the Washington State Supreme
Court has ruled that the legislation is not subject to Initiative 601, therefore, eliminating this exemption.

Vehicle Re4istration Fee
The 1993 State Legislature approved a series of new revenues to address transportation needs within
growing communities. One revenue is the Vehicle Registration Fee which authorized counties to
increase their vehicle registration fees by an additional $15 per vehicle. Thus far, only King, Snohomish
and Pierce Counties have chosen to impiement the tax which took affect in 1991. Each incorporated
jurisdiction receives funds based on a weighted per capita basis with the county receiving an amount
equal to one and one-half times the unincorporated population of the county. These funds must be used
for "general transportation purposes," including mass transit.
The 1996 adopted estimate ($613,031) reflects a projected increase of $6,069, or 1.0% over the 1995
year end estimate ($606,962). The 1995 year end estimate is projected to be $4,944, or 0.8% below the
1995 adopted budget estimate ($611,906).
In late 1993, the King County Council passed an amendment to the ordinance which govems this
�evenue source. The amendment will provide an exemption for physicaily disabled persons and low
income elderly persons 61 years of age or oider. The amendment which went into effect in May 1994
was to resuit in a 3-5% drop in vehicle registration fees, however, revenues were not impacted until
1995.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 1996 ADOPTED BUDGET
Sales and Use Tax Equalization
Legislative Authority
In 1982, the state legislature created a"municipal sales and use tax equalization account" in an effort to
more equitably allocate revenues to cities and towns in the state. The account is funded by a 4.75%
share of the state motor vehicle excise tax (RCW 82.44.110(5)).
Distributions are made to cities and towns that receive, on a per capita basis, an amount that is less than
70°k of the state-wide average per capita sales and use tax eamed in incorporated areas from the first
half cent of the sales and use tax during the previous year. If a city or town levies the second half
penny of the sales and use tax, it receives another equalization payment that is equal to the first. This
revenue source was established to ensu�e that the combination of the sales tax that a city eams from
retail sales within its city limits pius its equalization payment equal, on a per capita basis, 70% of the
state-wide average (RCW 82.14.210).
Prior to April 1st of each year, the State Treasurer is provided with the total and per capita levels of
revenues for all cities imposing the sales and use tax (RCW 82.14.030(1)) for the previous calendar
year. The state also calculates a state-wide per capita average sales and use tax. Seventy percent
(70%) of the state-wide per capita figure is compared to each city and town's per capita figure to
determine if they qualify for equalization payments.
Variables Affecting Equalization
There are several variables that affect equalization payments:
1. Statewide per capita average.
a. Sales tax impact.
b. Population impact.
2. City of Federai Way per capita average.
a. Sales tax impact.
b. Population impact.
3. Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVE� collections.
The statewide per capita average is total sales and use tax revenues collected in the incoiporated cities
from the first half cent of the sales and use tax during the previous year divided by the state's
incorporated population. The City of Federal Way's per capita average is calculated in the same
manner, using City figures instead of statewide figures.
if the state's incorporated sales tax collections grow at a level faster than Federal Way's, the statewide
per capita average will also grow; this will result in a larger equalization payment for Federal Way.
However, if state collections are below the level of growth Federal Way experiences, the equalization
payment will decrease.
Annexations and new incorporation will also affect the equalization average. Population increases
statewide will decrease the statewide per capita average which will lower the equalization payments
disbursed to cities and towns. However, if the population increases are offset by adequate sales tax
revenues generated from these new incorporations and annexations, the equalization payments may not
be affected as drastically.
If the City of Federal Way's sales tax receipts increase due to new businesses or unexpected growth, its
equalization payments will decrease. If a major retailer moves from the City, sales tax eamings will fall

and its equalization payments will ir�crease. No matter what changes take place in Federal Way's
economy, the per capita revenues from sales tax and equalization payments together are guaranteed
under current law to be at least 70°� of the statewide average.
If the City of Federai Way annexes a portion of unincorporated King County, the per capita average for
Federal Way will decrease. This will result in an increase of equalization payments. Once again, no
matter what changes take place in Federal Way's population base, the per capita revenues from sales
tax and equalization payments together are guaranteed under current taw to be at least 70�0 of the
statewide average.
The most volatile variable is the statewide average. The state is reluctant to forecast beyond 1996
because of the possible economic changes that could affect sales and use taxes statewide. 70% of the
statewide per capita average in 1995, which will be used for 1996 distributions, is estimated to be $55.62
(see caiculation below).
Equalization Calculation
The City has estimated equalization payments to be $409,800, or $204,900 per half cent in 1996. This
figure is based on 1995 sales tax receipts of $7,792,615, o� $3,896,307 for the first haif cent, (cash basis
- City accounts for revenues on modified accrual basis). This results in an equalization payment of
$512,249. Oniy $409,800 (80% of total) is proposed because of accounting differences between the
state and City and the uncertain nature of this revenue source. The 1996 revenue estimate for sales and
use tax equalization is projected to be $409,800 which is a decrease of $94,192, or 18.7°k, from
$503,992 budgeted in 1995 and $126,853, or 23.6°k below the 1995 year end estimate ($536,653).
There are five steps involved in the calculation of equalization payments:
Sten 1:
Steu 2:
Calculate the statewide per capita average sales and use tax and caiculate 70°� of that
amount. This average will be used in the calculation of 1995 equalization payments.
1995 estimated state-wide average ($79.46) � 70°k: $55.62
Calculate Federal Way's sales tax receipts for the first half cent tax on a per capita basis.
$3,896,309/74,413 = $52.36
Stea 3; Compare the figures from Steps 1 and 2. Since the per capita sales tax that businesses
in Federal Way are generating is less than $55.62 (70°k of the state-wide per capita
average), the City will receive equalization payments. The amount per capita will be the
difference between $55.62 and $52.36.
$55.62 - $52.36 = $3.26 �
1 Stea 4:
'
'
Step 5:
�
�
Multiply the result in Step 3 by Federal Way's population.
$3.2574 x 74,413 = $242,393
This is the amount of equalization Federai Way estimates to receive from the first half
cent of the sales tax that it levies.
Total equalization payments Federal Way estimates to receive from both half cents of
the sales tax it levies is estimated to be $484,786.
$242,393 x 2 = $484,786

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 1996 ADOPTED BUDGET
REVENUE ASSUMPTl�NS
The City's estimate of s409,800 is calculated as follows:
Equalization estimate-cash basis
Less: estimate accrued back to 1994 (1995 1st quarter remittance)
Plus: estimate accn�ed from 1996 (1996 1st quarter remittance)
Total equalization payment - accrual basis
80°� of totai estimate
The state allocates this payment on a quarterly basis to eiigible cities. If 30% of the 1996 certified
equalization payment is collected in the first quarter, then 30% is distributed to the eligible cities. The
same procedure is followed during the second and third quarters, with all funds in the account being
distributed. If 1996 is like past years, by the end of the third quarter, cities and towns will have received
more than three-quarters of their certified amount even though only three distributions have been made.
During the fourth quarter, the Department of Revenue allocates the amount necessary to bring each city
and town's distribution up to the amount certified by the state (in Federal Way's case -$484,786). If
there are excess monies available after all distributions have been made to the eligible cities at year end,
the remainder is allocated to all cities based upon population. This is an added bonus above the
allocated amount. We will not know this amount until year end calculations have been made by the
state, and therefore do not consider this in our proposed revenue estimate.
OTHER INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUE
Solid Waste Grant
The City accepted a$120,000 Coordinated Prevention Grant (CPG) from the State Department of
Ecology for the 1994/95 budget years. During 1994, $58,706 or 48.9% of the grant was used with the
remaining $61,294 or 51.1°k of the grant being used to fund solid waste activities in 1995. The grant will
be used to partially fund five components of the City's solid waste program. These components are
community outreach program; commercial outreach program; administration; litter control and educating
businesses and residents on recycling practices, and composting, yaro waste disposal, and waste
reduction.
For the 1995/6 budget years, the City has accepted from King County, three grants in support of solid
waste/recycling functions: Waste Reduction RecyGing Grant ($207,092); Local Hazardous Waste Grant
($20,000); and a City Optional Program Grant ($9,793). The following table illustrates the distribution of
these funds.

Franchise Fees
114.102 I 88.720
Franchise fees are estimated to increase $12,196, or 3.2°� from $383,863 budgeted in 1995 to $396,059
estimated in 1996. The 1996 estimate is also projected to increase $11,536 or 3.0°k over the 1995 year
end estimate ($384,523).
The City collects franchise fees from Viacom Cabie and TCI Cable for the right to use the City's right-of-
way. These cabie N franchise fees are govemed by federal law and are levied at a rate of 5°k of gross
revenues.
TCI is in the process of purchasing Viacom through a stock transfer totaling $850 million. This will result
in TCI assuming control of Viacom's cable operations, nationally. Cunently, Viacom subscribers
comprise approximately 90% of all cable subscribers within the City of Federal Way with TCI providing
cable services to the remaining 10%. The City Council is in the process of reviewing the proposed
transfer. If approved, TCI will assume ali of Viacom's responsibilities under the terrn's of the City's
franchise agreement. No change in service, number of channels offered or basic rates is anticipated.
The purchase will be completed in early 1996.
Permit and License Fees
� Permit and license fees are projected to increase $69,016, or 11.2°�, from $618,635 budgeted in 1995 to
$687,651 estimated in 1996. The 1896 adopted estimate is expected to increase $111,091, or 19.3°�,
over the 1995 year end estimates ($576,560). This increase is primarily attributable to begin collecting
building permit fees for non-profit organizations. Currently, non-profits are exempt from paying any type
' of building permit fee. This change is expeded to generate $42,000. For furthe� information on the
license and permit fees charged, see the fee schedule in the appendix section.

FINES AND FORFEITURES
The 1996 revenue estimate for fines and forteitures has decreased $335,402, or 35.4°�, from $948,628
budgeted in 1995 to $613,226 estimated in 1996. The primary reason for this considerabie decrease is
Council's decision not to implement a photo radar program. This program was expected to generate
$349,140 in fines and forFeitures and was included in the 1995 adopted budget.
If this program is not included, 1996 fine and forfeitures estimates would increase $13,738 or 2.3% from
the 1995 Adopted Budget and $20,737 or 3.5% from the 1995 year end estimate ($592,489).

1996. Intgovt and miscellaneous recreation fees are included in this table for c�mparative purposes.
The revenue for charges for services is estimated to decrease $14,254, or 3.5�, from $4,048,766
budgeted in 1995 to $4,034,512 adopted in 1996, but are estimated to increase $98,728 or 2.5% over
1995 year end estimates ($3,935,784). The reason for the decrease over the 1995 adopted estimate is
due primarily to a change in the amount the City charges itself for storm water drainage fees. As part of
an overall balancing strategy, the funding from the Street Fund to the Surtace Water Management
(SWM) Fund was reduced $68,638 or 33.4°� beginning in 1996 which is consistent with the amount the
City charges the State and is based on the impervious surface area.
Zonina Fees
Zoning fees are projected to increase $10,180, or 16.3%, over 1995 year end estimates of $62,295 to
$72,475 in 1996. The 1996 adopted estimate is 5,690 or 8.5% above the 1995 adopted budget estimate.
Zoning fees were adjusted in 1994 to provide for full cost recovery of zoning applications. Additionally,
the City will begin collecting zoning fees for non-profit organizations which currently are exempt from
paying any type of zoning fee. This change is expected to generate $8,000. For further information on
the license and permit fees charged, see the fee schedule in the appendix section.
Plan Check Fees
Plan check fees are projected to increase $9,175 or 3.5°�, over 1995 year end estimates of $262,148 to
$271,323 in 1996. The 1996 projections are based upon the historical activity of plan check fees and
permit activity between 1991 - 95. The 1996 proposed is $25,533, or 8.6°�, below the 1995 adopted
budget estimate ($296,856). This decrease is reflective of a slowdown in new development city-wide.
Solid Waste/Recvclina Fees
Solid Waste fees are projected to increase $1,295, or 0.8%, over 1995 adopted budget estimates to
$148,315 in 1996. Originally, it was anticipated more residential and commercial users converting to
mini-cans which would have resulted in lower revenues for the City. The trend of users converting to
mini-cans has not yet materialized, nor is this trend expected to change in the near term. The fees will be
used to partially fund (along with the solid waste and recycling grants) five components of the City's solid
waste program. These components are community outreach program; commercial outreach program;
administration; litter control and educating businesses and residents on recycling practices, composting,
yard waste disposal, and waste reduction.

The transfer to the Surface Water Management Fund from the Street Fund is estimated to be $137,156,
which is $68,638, or 33.4°� below the $203,757 estimated in 1995. This redudion is one of several
strategies being proposed to ensure continued financial stability for the City. The transfer is for
impervious surtace fees and is based on the area of impervious surfaces in the public right-of-way.
MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE
The 1996 estimate for miscellaneous revenue has increased $165,298, or 18.1 °�, from $912,884
budgeted in 1995 to $1,078,182 adopted in 1996. This increase is primarily attributed to increased
interest eamings as a result of higher interest rates as compared to previous years. Miscellaneous
revenue is also expected to increase $70,283 or 7.0°k over the 1995 year end estimate ($1,007,899).
The largest components of this revenue category are investment income ($702,629) and Retreat Center
fees ($268,880) which represent 66.1% and 25.3°� of total miscellaneous revenues, respectively. The

The transfer to the Street Fund from the General Fund is estimated to be $918,963, a decrease of
$8,522, or 0.9% compared to the 1995 year end estimate ($927,485). The transfer is to subsidize Street
operating expenditures.
The transfer to the Arterial Street Fund from the General Fund totals $161,374 and is comprised of a 3%
property tax increase approved in 1994 to specifically fund the Street overlay program.
The transfer to the Snow 8� Ice Removal Fund from the Street Fund is estimated to total $29,259 in 1996,
a decrease of $20,691 or 41.4% from the 1995 year end estimate and a decrease of $27,274 or 48.2°k
from the 1995 adopted estimate. The reduction is part of the City's strategy to ensure continued financial
stability. The purpose of this Fand is to separately account for maintenance services related to snow and
ice removal. The fund also has a$100,000 reserve to mitigate large and unexpected snow and ice
storms.
The transfer to the Debt Service Fund in 1996 is estimated to be $522,789, to prefund 1997 debt service.
This is $910,108, or 63.5�0, less than the $1,432,897 estimated in 1995. The source of these funds in
1996 is the General Fund and Surface Water Management Fund. A transfer wilt not be made from the

The transfer to the Retreat Center Fund in support of ongoing operations is proposed to be $69,403 in
1996, a decrease of $18,043 or 20.6°�6 over the 1995 year end estimate ($87,446) and $40,149 or 36.6�6

anticipated that this Center will be self-sufficient by 1997.
BEGINNING FUND BALANCE
, This funding source reflects the total estimated resources available for appropriation in 1996 as a result
of 1995 ending balances (the excess of revenues and other sources over expenditures and other uses).
Projected beginning fund balances have decreased $705,927, or 7.7%, from $9,192,340 adopted in 1995
� to $8,486,413 proposed in 1996. Additionally, 1996 beginning fund balances are projected to decrease
$2,917,213 or 25.6°� from the 1995 year end estimate ($11,403,626).

In the Street Fund, all unappropriated one-time monies ($477,78� are being transferred back to the
' General Fund. This transfer represents expenditure savings realized from 1994 that were not
reappropriated in 1995. The savings pertain primarily to tra�c and street activities.
� The Arterial Street beginning fund balance is estimated to be $844,967 lower than the 1995 year end
estimate because all one-time monies that have been available in the past have been appropriated
to specific capitai improvement plans. The only funds available in the Arterial Street Fund are
primarily arterial fuel taxes which are used to fund the City overiay program.
'
, 67
The decrease from the 1995 year end estimate is attributable to several factors. The following is an
explanation of the major components of this decrease:
'
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 1996 ADOPTED BUDGET
!: R�VENUE .ASSUI�A�'�`1C3NS
The Snow and Ice beginning fund balance is estimated to decrease $90,480 from the 1995 year end
estimate. All excess funds above the established $100,000 reserve will be transferred to the
General Fund.
The Surface Water Management beginning fund balance decreased by approximately $816,000.
This decrease is primarily the result of expending previously accumulated funds for capital projects,
which are detailed in the City Improvement Pian. This will occur as a transfer to the Surtace Water
Management Capital Project Fund.
The Debt Service beginning fund balance is estimated to decrease by over $376,000 in 1996. This
is in compliance with the Council policy to prefund debt service. The beginning fund balance in this
Fund represents the current year debt service payments. Debt service payments will decrease in
1996 largely due to the retirement of the City's first bond issue -$1.7 million issued in 1990 to fund
the acquisition of French Lake Park (forrnally known as Golfun Property) and city-wide start-up
costs.
The Retreat Center Fund's beginning fund balance is estimated to decrease by over $63,000 in
1996. This is due to capital improvements at the Retreat Center that are funded with one-time
carryforward monies.
The remaining $249,000 decrease results from various changes in the beginning fund balances of
several operating funds due to over/under - expending the original budget during 1995.

UNAPPROPRIATED FUND BALANCES
The unappropriated fund balance is the balance of net financial resources that are available for
appropriation. This portion of funding is not legally restricted and is available to the Council for one-time
appropriation in 1996. However, between 1992 and 1995, the large ending fund balances in this
category were attributabie to projects which had not been completed at year end. These funds were
reappropriated at the beginning of the following year as part of a carryforvvard budget adjustment.
The 1996 Adopted Budget does not have an unappropriated fund balance. Any funds that existed prior
to 1996 were appropriated to assist in the start-up of the police department.
RESTRICTED ENDING FUND BALANCES
The second component of ending fund balances a�e those funds restricted or reserved for a specific
purpose. These funds are not available for appropriation because they are legally restricted. For 1996,
70
Table 1 illustrates the City's ending fund balances between 1992 and 1996. The fund balances are
segregated into three components; unappropriated, restricted by legal requirements (such as grant
funds), and those funds designated through budget policies.

restricted monies are estimated to total $2.6 million. The majority of these funds are reserved for use in
the City's Capitai Improvement Funds ($1,566,285). The remainder are surtace water management fees
($784,244) reserved for storm drainage purposes in the SWM Fund, Solid Waste Fees ($176,605)
reserved for the solid waste program, Retreat Center funds designated for building improvements
($49,271), and undesignated savings from the Comprehensive Plan budget ($10,423).
DESIGNATED ENDING FUND BALANCES
The third component of ending fund balances, totaling $6.1 million in 1996, are those monies which have
been earmarked for a strategic resenre fund ($2.0 million), a self-insurance program ($631,228),
repiacement reserves ($1,613,523), snow and ice removal ($100,000), and to prefund debt service
($1,795,694). These financial resources have been designated through the City Council's budget
policies as identified below:
• The purpose of the strategic reserve is to provide some fiscal means for the City to respond
to potential adversities such as public emergencies, natural disasters or similarly major,
unanticipated projects.
�
�
�
17
• The self-insurance program is currently funded with investment income from the Strategic
Reserve Fund. The eamings are transferred into the self-insurance reserve until that time
when the self-insurance program is ready to be implemented. The purpose of the self-
insurance program is to mitigate the expense of commercial insurance, by retaining certain
levels of risk in-house.
• Replacement reserves are collected through charges to City departments. This will permit
the accumulation of cash for future replacement of City's assets and smooth out further
budgetary impacts.
• Current year revenues are earmarked to pay for the subsequent years' debt service
payments. This pre-funding is intended to immunize the City's bondholders from any short
term volatility in revenues.

The pie chart on the left illustrates that, of the $8.7 million available in the 1996 Adopted Budget, 70.4%
is designated by budget policy, 29.6% are restricted funds and none is available for one-time funding.
Any monies available for one-time funding are primarily the result of unanticipated revenue receipts and
expenditure savings. The pie chart on the right illustrating 1995 adopted fund balances reveals that fund
balances are projected to decrease $829,863 or 8.7°k. A major portion of this decrease can be attributed
to the appropriation of previously unappropriated monies for police department start-up costs, along with
an increase in self-insurance and replacement reserves.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 1996 ADOPTED BUDGET
LONG RANtGE; ElNANC1At PlAN
OVERVIEW
This financial plan lays out a six year strategy for achieving and sustaining recurring balanced budgets
through a combination of expenditure reductions and revenue increases. The objective of the financial
plan is to provide best estimates of the effect of program decisions on the annual and subsequent year
budgets. The budget must be balanced with current revenues for ongoing operations. Prior year's
savings may be used for one-time expenditures only. The long range plan is particularly valuabie in
showing the relationship and effect of decisions on major components of the City's financiai system and
in summarizing detailed inforrnation.
A conservative approach has been taken in developing the revenue estimates for the City's long range
financial plan. The estimates do not reflect any real growth (i.e. annexations, new development) outside
of population increases (estimated to be 2% per annum plus 50,000 for new incorporations and
annexations) and inflation which is estimated to be 3.5%. This conservative practice has been
established as budget policy.
REGIONAL ECONOMY
The Puget Sound economy tends to move in step with the national economy; however, the cyclical
nature of aircraft production amplifies the local ups and downs. The Puget Sound economy is still on
course to recovery. The Boeing Company, which accounts for one of every five jobs in the Puget Sound
region, announced in ea�ly 1993 that an estimated 28,000 jobs would be eliminated by mid-1994. This
estimate was revised downward to 24,000 jobs in early 1994 with the majority of the losses occurring in
the Puget Sound region (18,000). The move was in response to the continuing world-wide airline
industry slump. Taking into account the multiplier effect, the Puget Sound economy was initially
projected to lose a total of 54,000 jobs over the next three years because of the Boeing cutback.
However, more than 35,000 jobs were added to the Puget Sound region during the second half of 1994
while more than 11,000 Boeing jobs (with its $500 million payroll) were lost. The job losses in the
manufacturing sector, primarily from Boeing, are being offset with job gains in trade and services.
Additionally, a majority of the job losses at Boeing were attained through early retirement. The attrition
through early retirement means slower growth in the near future, but more rapid expansion is expected to
occur beginning in 1997 as employment and personal income increase. Fueling this growth will be low
inflation which is projected to remain in the 3.0°/a to 3.5% range.
Nationally, most economists predict that the economy remains on course for a soft landing. Several
factors, such as increased consumer confidence, lower mortgage rates, a weaker dollar and stronger
global market, which will boost exports, will prevent the national economy from falling into a recession.
Puget Sound employment increased 1.6% in 1994 and is projected to grow at a 1.5% rate in 1995 with
most of the growth concentrated in the retail and trade services industries. In 1996 and 1997, regional
employment is expected to grow 2.1 % and 2.8°k, respectively. Beyond 1997, regional employment is
projected to grow at a 2.2% annual rate. These advances coupled with a personal income growth rate of
6% and 7°/a between 1996 and 2005, an inflation rate between 2.7°� and 3.2°� and retails sales growth
of 5% to 6°k may be signs that the stage is being set for a longer period of expansion. In spite of
improving economic conditions, slowing population growth and rising mortgage rates will temporarily
restrain single family construction. However, the growth will not be fueled by Boeing as it plans on adding
fewer jobs than it has during previous recoveries even though aircraft production will reach 400 planes
per year by 2000, twice the number of aircraft projected to be built in 1996. The strength of the
consumer-related industries such as retail trade, business senrices and health services will have a much
greater impact on the region's economy.
Historically, Boeing layoffs have not had a dramatic effect on the overall economy. The effect upon the
City of Federal Way has been negligible due primarily to its conservative revenue estimates and strong
fiscal policies. Even with aerospace job losses nearing 11,000 in the Puget Sound region, Boeing's
future looks very bright. The airiine industry is expected to take delivery of 6,000 airplanes worth $400
billion over the next ten years. Assuming a constant 60°r6 market share for Boeing, the long term

demand for Boeing aircraft is about 400 per year. It is quite likely that Boeing productiort will reach or
� exceed that levei by the end of the decade. Boeing's current layoffs were in response to an all-out effort
to cut costs, increase efficiency and reduce the number of people required to design and build airplanes.
It is likely that Boeing will have to expand employment in the latter part of this decade to increase its
production from 234 airplanes per year in 1995 to over 400 airplanes. Boeing and the other aerospace
�' companies could potentially add 15,000 jobs during the years approaching 2000. However, this increase
in employment is much lower than previous expansians Boeing has experienced.
� The eventual uptum at Boeing and a steadily advancing national and world economy is expeded to
boost the growth rates of several leading economic indicators, including employment and personal
income. While the growth rates are well short of those experienced during peak growth in the 1980s,
� they are considerably better than recent performance.
LOCAL ECONOMY
Federal Way, the sixth largest city in the State of Washington, encompasses an area of 21 square miles.
� It is located in south King County approximately 25 miles south of downtown Seattle and 8 miles north of
downtown Tacoma. In 1994, the City successfully completed the annexation of the Weyerhaeuser
Company and surrounding property. The community is residential and commercial, with the populace
� employed locally and in neighboring cities such as SeaTac, Kent, Aubum, Tacoma, Bellevue, and
Seattle. The 1996 population of Federal Way, as estimated by the Washington State Office of Financial
Management, is approximately 74,290. An estimated 22,485 people are employed within the City limits.
The City of Federal Way is characterized as a residential area with strong retail and commercial sectors.
�� Approximately 83% of employment in Federal Way is in the retail and services sectors.
The retail sector includes the SeaTac regional mall, which is anchored by the Bon Marche, Sears,
� Mervyns, and Lamonts. The City also has Costco, Eagle Hardware, Target, K-Mart, Fred Meyer, and
Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI) stores as well as many businesses adjacent to the city center.
Several new retailers have opened stores within Federal over the last 18 months including Home Depot,
� a national home improvement chain, which opened a 145,140 square foot store in August, 1994. Circuit
City and The Good Guys, nationally recognized electronic retailers opened 37,273 and 16,925 square
foot stores, respectively during 1995. In addition, a newly developed 200,000 square foot Pavillion
Center located adjacent to the SeaTac Mall opened in late 1995. This facility is anchored by Home
� Express, a home fumishings retailer with 43,506 square feet, Bames and Noble, a bookstore with 24,987
square feet and QFC, a regional grocery store with 55,077 square feet.
Federal Way is home to the intemational headquarters of fou� large organizations: Paragon Trade
�� Brands, World Vision, Baden Sports and Weyerhaeuser. Weyerhaeuser Company, a$10.4 billion
company employs over 38,000 employees worldwide and is a leader in the forest products industry. The
City of Federal Way is home to Weyefiaeuser Company's corporate headquarters where 2,125
employees are located. World Vision, an intemational non-p�ofit Christian relief agency moved its
headquarters from Monrovia, Califomia to the City of Federal Way along with 500 employees in October,
1995. The organization recently completed construction on its international headquarters located
� adjacent to Weyefiaeuser's corporate headquarters. The City of Federal Way is also the site of four
statewide business groups: Washington Credit Union League, United Physicians, Washington Education,
and Washington Truckers associations. Numerous commercial businesses are located in Federat Way
including branches of financial institutions and major stock brokerages, U.S. Postal Service bulk mail
� center, St. Francis Community Hospital, Virginia Mason Clinic, and the regional distribution center for the
Wall Street Journal.

REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS
Total AV is projected to grow 3.0% during reassessment years, which occur every two years, and 0.75%
during other years. Delinquencies are assumed to be one percent of total taxes levied after 1994.
Property tax revenues are projected to grow 3.7% over the next five years. The growth consists of a 3%
inflationary increase plus 0.75% estimate for new construction (less delinquencies).
The following table illustrates the average annual growth
for the City's major revenue sources between 1997 and
2001. Overaii, operating revenues are projected to grow,
on average 2.4°k per annum. General Fund revenues are

Sales Tax
Sales tax is one of the City's most economically sensitive revenue sources and one of the most volatile
components of the General Fund. in 1996, sales tax is estimated to be 28.8°k of total operating
revenues and 38.6°k of General Fund revenues.
Sales tax collections are projected to increase at a rate
slightly lower than inflation, or 3.0°� befinreen 1997 and
2001. Sales tax receipts grew 5.5% between 1991 and
1992, 7.9°r6 between 1992 and 1993, 3.396 between
1993 and 1994 and is projeded to grow 2.6°� between
1994 and 1995. The primary reason for the slowdown
in 1994 and 1995 can be attributed to a slight downtum
being experienced by some of the larger retailers.
Most of the growth experienced in 1995 can be
attributed primarily to the services and construction
industries.
On the positive side, there have been new additions to
the retail industry in Federal Way over the past year
and a haif, including a Home Depot, Circuit City, Good
Guys and several large restaurants. However, its
impact has been offset with a downtum by some of the City's major retailers. Though not factored into
sales tax projections, the development of the Pavilion Center, slated to open in late 1995, along SR 99
will provide additional economic opportunities for the local economy. This growth will not be included in
current sales tax projections until it is recognized, per City budget policies. The new retail facility will be
home to several large anchor stores including Home Express, Blockbuster Video, Barnes & Noble and
Quality Food Center (QFC).
The addition of a discount Super Mall in neighboring Aubum this past August is expected to have a
negative impact on the City's sales tax revenue in the near future. However, it is anticipated that once
the "newness" of this facility dissipates, consumers will retum to shopping within the City, thus
strengthening retail sales. This will be further enhanced by new retail developments and redevelopment
of existing facilities.
S Durable goods such as auto sales, building
materials, and fumiture has been particularly
� strong over the past two years. However,
retail sales, which comprises almost 69% of
total retail trade activity within the City
actually began to decline in 1995 as the
� constraints of weak job creation, slow income
growth, and reduced in migration take its
affect on the state's economy. Improvement
� is not expected until early 1996 when job and
income growth begin to rise again.
Consumers will play a supporting rather than a
leading role in restoring economic growth.
� Slow job and income growth, an uncertain
economic climate and the uncertainty of tax
increases will hold back retail spending.

Local Criminal Justice Sales Tax
Criminal justice sales tax receipts grew 6.2°k between
7.1 % between 1993 and 1994 and are projected to
grow 1.6°� between 1994 and 1995. Local criminal
justice sales tax is projected to increase at a rate
slightly lower than inflation or 3.0% between 1997 and
2001. The conservative approach is to mitigate any
negative impact that future city incorporation's may
have on this revenue which is distributed based upon
population.
Intergovernmental Revenue
Population assumotion
One very important component of forecasting state-
shared revenues is projected population growth for
incorporated cities. Annexations and new
incorporations negatively affect the distribution of state-shared revenues. The state allocates a fixed
percentage of each of these sources and the funds are then allocated to individual jurisdictions on a per
ca ita basis. As the o ulation of inco rated cities increases and the amount of funds available for
distribution remains fixed, the individual City

Overall, incorporated population growth is anticipated to average 3.7% between 1996 and 2001. Overall,
the growth consists of a statewide increase of 2.0% plus 50,000 to factor in future incorporations and
annexations each yea�. Beyond 2000, population growth for incorporated cities is assumed to be a flat
2.0% per annum. Poputation growth for the City of Federal Way is projected to be 1.6% per annum.

� ;:,;:.:. .
Overall, state-shared revenues are projected to grow no more than 1.0°k between 1997 and 2001. The
� primary reason for this can be attributed to an increase in population from incorporations and
annexations. Since the amount of funds available to cities will not be increased proportional to the
increase in population, distributions are estimated to decrease to eligible cities.
Motor Vehicle Excise Tax
�
�
�
Motor vehicle excise tax (MVE� receipts are projected to increase at an average rate of approximately
4.2°k per annum between 1997 and 2001. MVET receipts grew 8.8°k between 1991 and 1992, 4.2°�
between 1992 and 1993, 8.1 °k between 1993 and 1994 and is projected to grow 4.8°� between 1994 and
1995. The 1996 Budget reflects a decrease of $454,000 that will be paid directly to the County in
exchange for the County paying for Public Health Services. The 4.2°k projection by the City is in
keeping with a conservative fiscal approach to revenue forecasting. The average per capita increase
between 1986 - 1995 was approximately 10.0% per annum. The growth is a reflection of projeded
increases in the value of the fleet as new cars are added to the stock, and older, less valuable, vehicies
are removed.
Lipuor Boarc! Profits and Faccise Tax
� Liquor board profits and liquor excise taxes are projected to increase at the rate of 1.0°k per annum
between 1997 and 2001. Liquor board profit receipts decreased 22.2% between 1991 and 1992,
decreased 8.4% between 1992 and 1993, increased 0.6°� between 1993 and 1994 and are projected to
� decrease 12.3°k between 1994 and 1995. The large decrease between 1991 and 1992 was the direct
result of a policy change by the Liquor Board. The Boarcl announced that it was switching to a policy
where the distributors owned the stock in the warehouse rather than the state. This change in practice
reduced the amount of cash the Board needed to hold and it made a one-time distribution in early 1991.
� The decrease between 1992 and 1995 is related to three variables: (1) the effect of the Boeing cutback;
(2) the adjustment for the health care bill which increased the tax on distilled spirits effective July 1,
1993; and (3) the fact that people have been buying less expensive liquor.
, The City's liquor revenue forecast is based on state projections; however, the projections have been
lowered to 1.0% per annum between 1997 and 2001 to offset any downtum liquor receipts may take.
The State had been contempiating privatizing liquor sales in Washington similar to the system adopted in
� West Virginia where the state is divided into areas and retailers bid for a 10 year perrnit to sell within an
area. This would be a dramatic change from the current system, in which only the state can retail liquor
by the bottle. The sale of packaged beer and wine, already allowed at private stores, is not affected by
� the proposal. The state wouid eam revenue by selling franchise rights, charging an annual license fee
and functioning as a monopoly wholesaler. State and local govemments would continue to receive liquor
taxes. However, it appears that this legislation has been either delayed or postponed.
Criminal Justice Low Pooulation Revenues
The portion of criminal justice low population revenues which are disbursed based on population is
projected to increase 1% per annum. The remaining funds are disbursed to cities and towns based on
four specific program areas: (1) innovative law enforcement; (2) initiated programs to assist at-risk
chiidren; (3) initiated programs to reduce the level of domestic violence; and (4) contraded law
enforcement services. A set of criteria has been estabiished by which cities may apply for the funds
each year. The current long range pian projects these revenues being available to the City.
However there are two variables which could result in either a loss or reduction of this funding source.
� First, as more cities incorporate, the amount of money available to the City of Federai Way will decrease
since these new cities will most likely be eligible applicants, especially for the portion pertaining to
contracted law enforcement. The state does not increase the amount of funding available as new cities
incorporate; the level of funding remains constant. Second, when the City starts its own police
� department (in November, 1996), the portion of funding received for contracted law enforcement wilt be
lost. Contracted law enforcement represents about $256,000 or 75% of the funding Federat Way is
expected to receive from this source in 1996. The elimination of this portion of criminal justice revenue
� is reflected in the long range plan beginning in 1997.

Sales and Use Epualization Tax
�
This revenue is distributed to cities which fall below the average per capita sales tax yield. Ail cities are �
guaranteed sales tax coliections of 70% of the statewide average per capita yield (based on the previous
year's sales tax colledions - first '/:% retaii sales tax only). Cities which impose all or a portion of the
second'�% must contribute 35°�6 of their motor vehicle excise tax (MVE'n entitlement to a sales and use �
tax equalization fund. These proceeds are then distributed to cities which do not meet the statewide
average per capita yield.
As outlined in the revenue assumptions section of this document, there are two key variables that affect �
equalization payments: state-wide sales tax per capita average and City of Federal Way sales tax per
capita average. The state-wide per capita growth rate is projected to grow on average 1.25°� between
1997 and 2001. The City's per capita average, which consists of sales tax growth averaging 3.0°k and �
population growth averaging 1.6%, is estimated to grow 2.2°� per annum between 1997 and 2001.
After factoring these assumptions into the methodology used to calculate equalization payments, we can �
expect this revenue source to grow, on average, 4.9% between 1997 and 2001. This revenue source is
projected to decrease 23.6% between 1995 and 1996 due primarily to more accurate information being
available from the State outlining the exact amount of funds the City shall receive during 1995. _
Equalization payments are projected to increase 17.5% between 1996 and 1997 due primarily to a very
conservative growth rate (1.5%) for sales tax during 1996. As sales tax receipts decrease (or are
projected grow more conservatively), equalization payments will increase. Likewise, as sales tax
receipts increase due to new businesses or unexpected growth, the City's equalization payments will
decrease. Because this is a potentially volatile revenue source, the City only projects to collect 80% of
the amount calculated from equalization payment forecasts.
Other Revenues
Franchise Fees
Franchise fees are projected to increase at a rate of
3.0% per annum between 1997 and 2001, slightly
lower than inflation. Currently, Viacom and TCI are
the only businesses paying a franchise fee to the City.
Historically, �acom has experienced growth between
8% and 1096. This growth was refleded in the
collection of franchise fees befinreen 1991 and 1993
when growth was 12.2°� between 1991 and 1992 and
18.6% between 1992 and 1993. The adoption by
Congress of the new cable television regulation may
have some impact on the projections, but the effects
are not known at this time. Franchise fees increased
only 1.2% between 1993 and 1994, but they are
projected to increase 5.6% between 1994 and 1995
indicating that cable companies will further diversify
cable operations to mitigate the impact of the Cable

Gamblina Excise Tax
� Gambling excise taxes are expected to grow at a rate
of 3.5°� per annum between 1997 and 2001 which
reflects only an inflationary adjustment. No change in
� the tax rates is assumed. Gambling tax receipts
decreased 0.2°k between 1991 and 1992, increased
15.0% between 1992 and 1993, increased 43.3%
� between 1993 and 1994 and are projected to increase
5.8% between 1994 and 1995. The growth during
1994 and 1995 is attributable to the addition of a two
major casinos within the City. However, gambling tax
� revenues are projected to decrease over $90,000 or
24.5% in 1996 due to the impact of a tribai casino
opening nearby. The City has begun to feel the impact
� of this increased competition in mid-1995.
Licenses
Licenses are expected to grow at a rate consistent with inflation which is estimated to be 3.5°�. The
� 1996 revenue estimates are based upon historical data collected by the City Cierk's Office over the past
three years. Licensing sources are business registrations, entertainment licenses, animal licenses and
pawnbroker/second hand dealer licenses. No fee increase is assumed.

implementation of an electrical inspection program. However, if electrical permits are not included,
permit and fee collections are projected to decrease 2.9% between 1994 and 1995. The negative growth
in building permit revenues is attributed to an overall slowdown in new construction and general building
construction. These revenue sources are projected to increase 15.6% in 1996 over 1995 year end
estimates. This is due primarily to the
elimination of non-profit exemptions which will
increase building permits by $50,000 and the
electrical inspection program being on-line the

Recreation Fees
Recreation revenues are projected to increase

between 1994 and 1995. Recreation revenues
are projected to recover, on average 30°� of total recreation program costs. _
Cu►rently, staff is developing a strategy to increase the recreation's recovery ratio to 40% or 45%. To
accomplish this, recreation revenues will have to be increased $112,149 or 25.2% to attain the 40°�
recovery level and $181,727 or 40.9°k to attain the 45°�6 recovery level. Or expenditures must be
reduced by $112,149 or 3.1% and $181,727 or 13.1°k to arrive a recovery ratio of 40% and 45°�,

� Motor Fuel Tax
Motor fuel taxes are expected to increase on average 1.3°k between 1997 and 2001. Higher gas prices,
� greater fuel efficiency in vehicles and growth in incorporated populations are the primary reasons for the
low growth rate beyond 1998 when growth is projected to average only 1.0%. Fuel taxes increased 2.8%
between 1991 and 1992, decreased 4.0°� between 1992 and 1993, increased 3.9°k between 1993 and
� 1994 and are projected to decrease 2.0°k between 1994 and 1995. The decrease between 1992 and
1993 is the result of the tax credit for the alcohol component of gasohol while the decrease in 1995 is the
result of more cities incorporating state-wide.
� Vehicle License Fees
Local vehicle license fees (Street Fund) are projected to increase 1°� per annum after 1996. This
, revenue source was enacted in 1992 and due to the lack of significant historical data, solid projections
are di�cuit to forecast. Therefore a slow growth projection rate of 1°� is assumed. Vehicle license fees
increased 0.4�o between 1992 and 1993, increased 5.0% between 1993 and 1994, and are projected to
decrease 3.1 % between 1994 and 1995 primarily because of the exemption King County provided for

which went into effect in May 1994 did not impact the City untii 1995.

Real estate excise tax (REE'n revenues are projected to increase at a rate of 1% per annum after 1996.
This projection reflects the current slow growth being experienced in the real estate market. The low
mortgage rates which attracted many first time home buyers into the single-family housing market have
since increased. However, the need for multi-family and single family housing units to meet the growth
in the Puget Sound region of over 40,000 new people per year translates into housing demand. Given
the extreme volatility of the housing market and real estate excise taxes, the housing maricet has not
recovered to a point where more liberal projections can be adequately justified. The City of Federal Way
imposes both quarter percent real estate excise taxes. Cities which are required to plan under the
Growth Management Act were given the option of levying the second quarter percent to help defray the
costs of implementing the Growth Management Act.

SOLID WASTE/RECYCLING FUND
Refuse collection fees are expected to increase 1.6% arrfivally reflecting the historical trend between
1992 and 1995. It was anticipated that this revenue source would decrease over time as consumer
awareness of the advantages of recyGing increased. Most users currently use the larger, more
expensive cans. As consumers become more conscientious about recycling and the monetary savings
that can be made from switching to a mini-can, the revenue stream to the City will decrease since mini-
cans generate less revenue recovery for the City. However, current revenue projections do not assume
that consumers will move to mini-cans in the near future. No rate change is assumed.

Surface Water Management fees are projected to increase at the annual rate of 1%(projecting slow �
growth). Delinquencies are assumed to be 1% of totai fees billed. The decrease between the years
1994 and 1996 is attributed to the continued reduction of SWM fees the Street Fund pays to the SWM
Fund to support the maintenance of impervious surfaces in the public right-of-way. The significant
increase in 1992 represents an increase in SWM rates of 2.7 times. �
RETREAT CENTER FUND
Retreat Center user fees are projected to grow, on average 20.8°k between 1997 and 2001. The ,
majority of the growth is anticipated to occur in 1997 when the facility is expected to be self sufficient and
operate wholly on the revenue derived from operations. Thereafter, user fees are expected to grow
approximately 15.4% annually. The revenue growth reflects the increase in use the facility is anticipated ,
to realize as the plan for developing the facility is implemented over the next five years.

The foilowing table illustrates the assumptions used to forecast initial operating expenditures between
1997 and 2001. Salaries which are projected to increase 5.1 °� which includes a 4.236°k step increase
(for those employees not on P3) plus an
assumption that beginning in 1997 at
least 50% of city employees will eam an
average P3 (pay for pertortnance)
payout totaling $5,000. The number of
employees expected to be a part of P3
wili increase in 5% increments up to a
maximum of 75% by 2001. Benefits are
projected to increase 4.59�6 per annum
which reflects the historical trend for this
expenditure category. All other
expenditure categories are projected to
increase at a rate consistent with a
factor equal to 80°k of inflation or 2.4°k,
except major contracted services.
In previous years, the long range plan
has projeded expenditures to grow an
average of 6.1 °�, primarily due to the
large increases in the City's police and
jail contracts. However, if the City's police and jail costs are brought under control to an estimated
growth rate of 4.0% (slightly higher than inflation), overall expenditure growth decreases to 4.6°� per
annum between 1997 and 2001. The following graph illustrates the relationship between operating
revenues and operating expenditures (with police and jail contracts growing at 6.0% and 10.0% per
annum, respectively) between 1991 and 2010, which are the previous year's assumptions.
Beginning in
1997, a budget
deficit totaling
$1.7 million wiil
exist. This
deficit will
increase
approximately
$600,000 per
year to a deficit
totaling more
than $11.7
million by 2010.
� 83
�
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 1996 ADOPTED BUDGET
To mitigate this projected deficit, ihe City has developed the following strategies:
Balancina Strate4ies
1) Limit Expenditure Growth
As outlined above, operating expenditures are projected to grow 6.1 °� per annum. The first balancing
strategy is to limit operating expenditure growth to 2.0% per annum (except police services). This will be
achieved through a continuous evaluation of the City's various services, activities and programs to
ensure the cosUbenefit of such programs are both fiscally sound and meet the needs of the community.
In addition, departments have identified an additional $150,000 in cuts that will not impact the level of
service currently provided to the citizens of Federal Way. Finally, a selective hiring freeze of five
positions will be implemented over the next two years as Council and management continue to evaluate
the overall needs of the organization. This will be accomplished, whenever practical, through regular
attrition. As positions are vacated, staff will evaluate whether these positions are necessary to meet the
cuRent and long term goals of the organization as a whole. If the current position is determined to be
obsolete, it will either not be filled or the resources will be reallocated to another part of the organization
which has a higher need for additional resources.
2) Control Police Services Growth
The second major balancing strategy is to limit police services growth. Given the high concentration of
human resources and equipment, a more reasonable estimate of 4% was established for future Police
Department growth. In addition, the overall Police budget will be limited to $9.5 million beginning in
1997 and inflated at 4�o thereafter.
3) �sitation Retreat & Cultura/ Center (VCCR) self-sufficient by 1997
The third strategy is to ensure the Visitation Retreat 8 Cultural Center (VCCR) is self-sufficient by 1997.
The City purchased this watertront property in 1993 and since then has been working to develop a facility
which will operate as a business-like entity. The City's General Fund has been required to provide funds
to maintain ongoing operations over the past three years. This subsidy will total $69,403 in 1996 and
even though the monies are one-time at this time, a self-sufficient VCCR ensures General Fund
resources will not be devoted to its operations on an ongoing basis.
4) Increase Recreation Revenues
Another strategy is to increase recreation revenues by $100,000 or almost 20%. As part of the 1996
budget process, Council requested that City staff evaluate these programs, associated fee structure, and
the program's overall recovery ratio. CuRently, the 1996 budget estimate includes only an additional
$35,000 in recreation fees, however staff is still evaluating the impact of raising fees and/or reducing
costs. Council's most recent direction has been to evaluate increasing the recovery ratio from its current
32% to 40°� or 45% resulting in additional revenues totaling $112,149 and $181,727, respectively.
5) Reduce Snow & Ice Budget and make Solid Waste Program self-sufficient by 1997
In 1994, the City Council decided to establish a separate operating fund to account for snow and ice
expenditures (Snow & Ice Removal Fund). As part of the 1995 budget, Council approved an
unappropriated reserve totaling $100,000 to be maintained in this fund for snow and ice emergencies.
Furthermore, Council appropriated almost $58,000, funded through a transfer from the General Fund for
regular ongoing snow and ice maintenance. A part of the fifth balancing strategy is to reduce this
appropriation by almost 50°� to approximately $31,000, thus minimizing the ongoing subsidy from the
City's General Fund. Historical trends reveal that $31,000 is adequate for annual ongoing snow and ice
services. If additional funds are needed, the $100,000 reserve is available to supplement the
appropriated budget, with Council's approval.

� LONG RANGE::�IIVANCIAL PLAh1
A second part to this strategy is to ensure the City's solid waste program (accounted for in the Solid
� Waste and Recycling Fund) be seif sustaining. Currently, this program receives no General Fund
subsidy in support of its operations, but has in the past. Resources currently devoted to this program
include refuse coliection fees and various grants. City staff will work to ensure a General Fund subsidy
will not be required to support ongoing operations. This can be accomplished through streamlining costs
� and/or appiying for and receiving solid waste and recycling related grants in support of operations.
6) Remove Overlay Program's $200, 000 per year increase
� Currently, the street overlay program requires $2.0 million to adequately maintain the City's cuRent
infrastructure. However, funds totaling approximately $725,000 are availabie leaving a shortfall of
aimost $1.3 miliion per annum. A plan had been developed to increase this program incrementaily
� $200,000 per year until the goal of $2.0 million was reached. Until a financing source has been
identified, this incremental increase wili not be inciuded as part of the City's long range financial plan.
' 7) Reduce Storm Drainage Fee from Street Fund to Surtace Water Management (SWM) Fund
The seventh balancing strategy encompasses reducing the portion of storm drainage fees paid by the
Street Fund to the Surface Water Management (SWM) Fund for impervious surtaces in the public right-
� of-way by $68,836 or 33.3%. The reduction of this transfer benefits general governmental operations,
but negatively impacts the SWM Fund. Since 1994, this payment has been reduced by $320,029 or
70.0% but is consistent with the rate charged to the State.
' 8) Eliminafe Non-Profit Exemption
The eighth balancing strategy consists of eliminating the non-profit exemption policy. Currently, ail
� building, zoning, and plan review fees are waived for non-profit affiliated organizations. It is estimated
the elimination of this exemption will generate an additional $50,000 in permit and plan review revenue
annuaily.
� 9) /ncrease Property Tax Levy
The final balancing strategy requires that the property tax levy be increased 3°k per annum above new
construction. This will result in property tax revenues growing at a 3.7% rate as compared to 0.7°�.
If these balancing strategies a�e implemented, the gap illustrated in the above graph is changed from a
� deficit to a surplus as identified in the following graph. Instead of a deficit totaling $1.7 million in 1997, a
budget surplus totaling $87,377 will exist. This budget surpius is projected to grow to $102,987 by 2000
and $1.8 million by 2010.

Council voted to form its own police department effective on 11/96. This decision will allow the City to
not only control the level of police services provided to the community, but gain control over the
allocation of financial resources as well. It is anticipated that the City will save approximately $3.8
million between 1997 and 2001 through the formation of its own police department.
Jail costs, like police costs, have also increased dramatically, doubling in 1993 over 1992 expenditures
and increasing another 66°� in 1994 over 1993 costs while 1995 expenditures decreased 8°� over 1994
costs. This was due primarily to King County handling domestic violence cases and requiring the County
to transport a maximum of five prisoners per day rather than the previous maximum of three prisoners
per day. In late 1994, the County implemented a double transport system where prisoners are
transported twice a day (for a total of 10 prisoners) to the court for arraignment. These three changes
will result in lower jail costs for the City of Federal Way. However, the 1996 estimate assumes an
increase of 13% from 1995 primarily to mitigate any unforeseen changes the County may implement.
Public health services paid to King County have increased on average 12% per annum between 1992
and 1995. Beginning on 1/1/96, counties will be solely responsible for paying all public health costs. In
exchange for this, one-third of the cities motor vehicle excise tax (MVE� revenue will be distributed to
the counties. The legislation outlining these changes was passed in 1995. Cities will be removed from
the state Board of Health and will no longer be authorized to serve on any local board of health. The City
of Federal Way stands to gain substantially from this legislation; the City's public health contract exceeds
the amount of MVET revenue anticipated to be lost by approximately $450,000 annually.
A transfer from the General Fund to the Debt Service Fund to support debt service is expected to
average $400,000 per annum through 2008 (see graph on page 83). However any increase in real
estate excise taxes will reduce this required transfer in any given year.
An increase each year in the Public Works transfer is required to maintain a balanced budget in the
Street Fund. Without any new sources of funding in the Street Fund, the General Fund will be required
to fund approximately 33°� of the Street operations beginning in 1995, but will increase to 35% of the
Street Fund budget by 2001. Also included in the General Fund transfer are monies to fund and support

a snow and ice removal program. A transfer to partially subsidize the City's overlay program has been
eliminated beginning in 1996 as part o# the City's ten-point balancing strategy.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT FUND
The Surface Water Management Fund (SWM) is funded primarily by user fees which are specificaliy
dedicated to support SWM operating and capital expenditures. Operating expenditures are projected to
increase 2.0°� per annum between 1997 and 2001.
Capital expenditures are designated based upon funds available after operating expenditures are
allocated. Project design and land acquisition expenditures are earmarked before any construction costs
are appropriated. A capital project fund was established in 1993 to specifically account for all SWM
capital projects. The projects are funded primarily through user fees, though some mitigation moneys
have been received as well as a Public Works Trust Fund Loan for the S. 336th/Kitts Regional Storage
Facilities project. Fu�ther information on the Surface Water Management capital facilities plan can be
found in the capital budget section of this document.
RETREAT CENTER FUND
The Retreat Center Fund is funded primarily with user fees which are specifically dedicated to support
facility operations. Operating expenditures are projected to increase, on average 10.5°r6 per annum
between 1997 and 2001. The high growth is reflective of the business plan currently being developed by
the program manager. Growth will not be constrained to any type of indexing, but rather by the revenues
generated by facility operations. The General Fund subsidy is expeded to end in 1997.
OTHER REVENUE SOURCES
This section outlines several revenue sources the City could use to maintain both the fiscal and capital
needs for the City of Federal Way.
, Street Utilitv
'
�
�
�
r
,
RCW 35.95.040 authorizes cities the option to develop a street utility. The law stipulates households and
businesses may be charged up to 50°�6 of the construdion, maintenance, and operational costs of the
streets. Cities are contained by limiting the total amount a home can be charged to a maximum of $2.00
per month and businesses to $2.00 per employee per month. Further, the fee must be placed equally on
residences and businesses.
Utility Taxes
Utility taxes are levied on the gross operating revenues that public and private utilities eam from
operations within the boundaries of a city. The City of Federal Way has the option to levy taxes on the
following utilities: storm drainage, phone, cable, garbage, gas, and electric. The tax rate that a
legislative body may impose on electric, gas and telephone utilities is 6�. Cellular telephones may be
taxed at the same rate as other telephone services. There are no restrictions on the tax rates for water,
sewer, garbage and storm drainage. However, the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 requires
that cable rates not be °unduly discriminatory against cable operators and subscribers." If a city has set
all its rates at six percent, the rate on cable TV should probably be no higher than that. The City of
Federal Way does not have the authority to levy water and sewer utility taxes.
Citizens approved to levy a utility tax averaging 1.36°k over the next ten years for the purpose of
providing funds for traffic and street $7.5 million. The levy will support not only the repayment of
construction costs (financed through Councilmanic bonds), but ongoing maintenance and operation costs
as well. Once the bonds have been retired in 10 years, the only portion of the levy that will remain is an
amount necessary to support ongoing maintenance and operation expenditures.

Imqact Fees
The following graph
illustrates the taxes that
can be levied within the
City of Federal Way in
1996. Street utility taxes
are assumed to be $2.00
per household per month
and $2.00 per employee
per month. Utility taues
are assumed to be 1% of
totai utility receipts.
Lastiy, the property tax
estimate is assumed to be
a 1 % incremental
increase over the 1996
property tax levy.
Impact fees are fees assessed builders for the cost of parks, schools and road improvements that
continue to maintain an identified level of service. These fees cannot be used to cover the entire cost of
new infrastructure requirements. Cities must develop a service levei and determine how the
development will impact the current level of service. The developer can be charged to continue the
identified level of service. Cities must also develop a fee schedule, provide for a credit schedule for
dedication of land or other capital provided by the developer as a condition of the permit, and establish a
public adjustment process for the developer.
Special Assessments (Local Im�rovement Districts (LIDs))
This tax is imposed on taxpayers of an area where the benefit is received. The City incurs debt to pay
for the capital improvements at the beginning of the project, and apportions the fees to the property
owners over a period of time, usually 10 years. LIDs require approval of a majority of the property
owners to be assessed.

The department consists of the Administration Division, which provides department direction; the Finance
Division, which provides the budget and financial management function; the Risk/Purchasing/Fleet Management
Division, which provides protection to the City's physical and fiscal assets; the City Clerk's Office, which provides
citywide records retention and distribution; the Human Resources Division, which provides human resources and

Division Summary:
Highlights/Changes:
In addition to the six operating divisions, the budget presented above also includes citywide pay for performance,
cola, and other payroll benefits. The overall 1996 department budget totals $2.98 million compares to the $3.25
million for 1995, a net decrease of $243,348 or 7.5°k. Approximately $200,000 of the decrease is attributable to:
1) no cola is proposed for 1996; 2) the removal of dental insurance from Payroll Benefits Fund for $78,000; and
3) the deletion of an one-time election budget of $75,000. The operations administered by the Department of
Management Services of $2.67 million, was a$43,000 or 1.6% reduction from 1995's $2.72 million. Considering
the $106,000 baseline reduction the department made in 1995, a total of $150,000, or 5°k, reduction was made
by the Department over a two year period. The department is committed to doing more with less, but we are
keenly concemed with our ability to meet the growing demands in information availability and assessbility to both
intemal users and to the general public.

The 1996 adopted division budget totals $198,386 compared to $189,890 for 1995. The $8,496, or 4.5%, '
increase is attributable to two main factors: The transfer of the $3,750 Diversity Commission budget from
Community Outreach and Policy Planning to Management Services, and a$4,800 increase in pay for
performance and related benefits. Other modifications include slight increases in temporary coverage and '
training and a change in GIS cost allocation, which are offset by a reduction in equipment purchases.

The purpose of the Finance Division is to provide accurate financial information from which educated judgments '
can be made on the financial health of the City, and educated decisions can be made by management regarding
City operations.
This program provides for the preparation of City financial statements, including the monthly financial report to
the Council and the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. It includes expenditure and revenue budget
monitoring and revenue projecting. The recording of all accounting entries, the development of new accounting
procedures and reports, cash managemenUprotection and control, and budget coordination support are functions
of this program. Grant administration is included, which involves financial oversight and assistance provided to
grant administrators. Liaison between City staff and the State Examiner as well as related audit costs are also
responsibilities within this program.
Highlights/Changes:
�
'
�
The Finance Division's 1996 budget totals $515,288. This total reflects the transfer of the Licensing Specialist ,
budget from the City Cleric's office to this division. This change increased the Finance Division's budget by
approximately $50,000, but a similar redudion is found in the City Clerlc's budget. The balance of the increase
over the 1995 budget level (approximately $27,000) is attributable to step increases, overtime costs and '
temporary help costs. Temporary help and overtime were under-budgeted in the past. The 1996 proposed level
only reflects actual costs in past years.
The Division continues to revisit operations to ensure it is consistent with the Division's mission. By focusing our �
efforts on our essential mission, we have been able to review and modify procedures which have directly
resulted in the City's unqualified audit opinion for 1994 operations and records.

Purpose/Description:
As the title indicates, this division is responsible for the risk, purchasing, and fleet management programs. The
risk management program provides insurance coverage/risk prevention programs for City operations and
properties, assesses risk, and reviews insurance requirements for various City contracts, and manages
workman's compensation and safety. The purchasing management program helps departments plan and select
the most cost effective materials, supplies, and services and ensure compliance with purchasing
policies/procedures and Revised Code and Washington and bid requirements. The fleet management program
administers procurement, operations and maintenance services for the City owned vehicles and motorized
equipment. This division aiso provides duplication and postage needs for all City departments and is a
continued source of support, information, education and guidance to all departments.
Division Summary:
Highlights/Changes:
The 1996 Adopted Budget includes a slight redistribution of the manager and coordinator's time to facilitate
planning for police vehicle impact on the fleet management program. The doliar impa�t to any of the programs
is minimal.
This division experienced some minor increases due to overall rising paper costs which the division hopes to
contain through promotion of paper reduction strategies. State mandates, including such things as Heptavax B
series for Bloodbome Pathogens Exposure and drug and alcohol testing for staff required to possess a
Commercial Drivers License, have also resulted in increases for the year. In addition, it is anticipated that
insurance costs will rise approximately 10% in 1996. Capital purchases of $16,055 (partially offset by rental
savings) are included in the line budget compared with $73,000 in 1995. Even taking all of this into
consideration, the Division's proposed 1996 budget has decreased by $21,487, or 3.0°k.

The 1996 Adopted Budget is $113,545 below the adopted 1995 level because of decreased election costs and ,
personnel changes in the City Clerk's office. During 1995, the licensing specialist position was moved to the
Finance Division of Management Services. This change, with other staffing adjustments, have resulted in the
decrease in salaries for 1996. Ail other 1996 programs reflect a levei very similar to that of the 1995 adopted
budget. , ,

The 1996 Adopted Budget includes one additional attorney to be allocated 70% to Civil Legal Services and 30%
to be allocated to Criminal Prosecution Services. The addition of this attomey is necessary to achieve the City
Council's number one goal in 1996 to implement a police department. This new attomey will act as the legal
advisor"to the police department. The fonnation of the police department will increase the Law DepartmenYs
workload in a number of areas, including legal advice to the Civil Service Commission and Disability Board; legal
assistance in connection with the union, employment issues and negotiating the union contract; preparing the
King County Transition Agreement and legal research regarding respective duties between the City and King
County; preparation of Requests for Proposals and other purchasing documents in connection with police
equipment such as police vehicles; training by prosecutor of police officers; and defending the City against
employment claims.
There are substantial cost savings to the City by hiring a full time attomey as opposed to contracting for outside
legal services in connection with providing all necessary legal services to implement the police department. The
Law Department performed a cost comparison of hiring an employee vs. contracting for legal services consistent
with the City Council's direction to maintain Federal Way as a contract city. The cost for an employee is equal to
$57,150 for salary and benefits. At $100 per hour, the annual first year cost to have an outside firm pertorm the
same services is equal to $270,000. The cost savings is maintained over 5 years: $314,802 (5-year total for
employee) vs. $1,433,457 (5-year total for contract services).

This new attorney position is funded by the police professional services budget. In addition, the City will
experience ongoing jail savings equal to approximately $200,000 a year due to the Law Department's '�
implementation of 2 a�aignment calendars a day at District Court. In addition to the $300,000 annual police
budget for professional services, the $200,000 in jail savings could be allocated to fund this new position.
The Law Department's 1996 total budget constitutes a baseline budget and the request of $1,115,290 for 1996 is
$335,898 less than the DepartmenYs budget for 1995.

Purpose/Description: �
The Department of Community Development Services provides 1) Neighbofiood development through liaison,
coordination and support to existing and new community groups, 2) Management of general fund human services
allocations and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, 3) Administration and enforcement of �
Uniform Codes for construction including plan review and inspection, 4) Administration and enforcement of land
use, environmental and nuisance codes, 5) Long range planning and policy work including the comprehensive
plan, neighborhood plans, and code revisions, and 6) Project and policy work related to annexations, housing
and work with special districts. �
Highlights/Changes:
The 1996 adopted budget is basically a status-quo budget with an approximate 1°k change. The significant �
fluctuations that are noted between 1995 and 1996 with several divisions is explained by two events as noted
below.
First, the Human Services budget is reduced by approximately $829,000 due to the State funding for the Public
Health Services contract. Second, the merger of the majority of the Department of Community Outreach and �
Policy Planning (COPP) in to Community Development Services (CDS) accounts for increases and decreases
within several divisions. The Administrative Division sees an increase because of combining two administrative
personnel. The Policy and Special Projects and Community Involvement divisions show decreases because �
personnel were moved to CDS from larger divisions within COPP.

Purpose/Description:
The Land Use Division processes land use applications and business licenses, monitors compliance with the Federal
Way City Code, King County codes and state and local SEPA regulations and provides information to the public
about those processes and regulations. In addition, the code compliance officers respond to citizen complaints and
observed violations to the City's codes and ordinances. The division also provides assistance to other departments
to formulate code amendments, provides technical assistance for City projects and annexations, and coordinates the
City's responses to airport issues and land use appeal issues as directed by the Council and City Manager.
�
,
The purpose of the Long Range Planning Division is to prepare and maintain the City's comprehensive ptan �
consistent with the Growth Management Act. The Division also is responsible for the code amendments and other
special projects required through the Growth Management Act and other state mandated legislation and through �
direction of the City Council.
Highlights/ Changes: �
Hiahliaht of Land Use Activities:
• Land use applications are higher than 1994.
• In 1995 the division reviewed 59 intery'urisdictional projects. Two of those resulted in the City filing an appeal to
address Federal Way concems. �
• Land Use staff were loaned to write code amendments for sign regulations and the Comprehensive Plan.
Highlipht of Lona Ranae Plannina:
• Completed the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan.
• Completed the City's sign regulations. �
Chanqes in Land Use Section:
• There are only three non-exempt employees in the Division. The demand for overtime pay increased this past
year due to the involvement of the Code Compliance Officers with the sign regulations. Next year there is the �
potential for more code amendments needing their involvement, therefore the funds have been increased.
• Small Office Apparatus (352) has been decreased substantially because some one time purchases.
• Consulting Contracts (411) has been adjusted. Wetland Services has been increased due to an increase in �
projects requiring those services. We are anticipating projects like the Aquatic Center and Celebration Park to
increase costs. Pipeline 5 will most likely occur next year as a pass-through project. We retain five to six other
long term projects that are also pass-through and require wetland services. �
Chanaes in Lona Ranqe Plannina:
• Focus in 1996 will be responding to recent state legislation that will require changes to code and procedures and
implementation of the comprehensive plan.
• In 1995 an organizational change occuRed shifting the division to the Community Development Services �
Department.

Purpose/Description:
Federal Way Law Enforcement is currently contracted with King County. Their mission is the preservation of life
and property, promoting safety and security through educational efforts and creating a traffic environment within
the City, which will effect the smooth and safe movement of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Officers are
charged with enforcement of all laws and ordinances, deterrence and apprehension of offenders, enforcement of
traffic laws, and criminal and non-criminal investigations.
Law Enforcement services are p�ovided through 53 contracted police officer units who are assigned to reactive
and proactive patrol assignments. Their costs incfude all overhead for their deployment, investigative support,
supervision, and operational requirements.
Division Summary:
Highlights/Changes:
Since incorporation, the City of Federal Way has contracted with King County for police services. On May 16,
1995 the City Council voted unanimously to notify King County of the City's intent to create a Public Safety
Department within the City organizational structure. The most significant reasons for this decision were: (1) the
need to control rising costs, (2) the desire to make policy decisions about service levels and the kinds of services
provided, and (3) to finalize their commitment to residents at the time of incorporation in 1990, to establish public
safety services that meet the community's and City Council's vision and values.
The new Public Safety Department will provide a community-based, problem solving police organization that will
refine service delivery to meet community needs. The Public Safety Department will complement other
functions the City currently provides such as Human Services, Neighborhood Programs, Public Works, Parics,
Recreation and Cultural Services and Code Enforcement by c�eating an integrated approach to customer
problems.
The 1996 budget includes King County contractual costs, jail services, and a transition budget for the one-time
start-up costs of the Public Safety Department. Additionally, new positions in Legal, Human Resources and
Accounting (3.5 FTEs) will be created as a result of estimated woricload increases on support departments
resulting from the addition of the 112 proposed police employees.

The Public Works Department has as its mission to: Provide a vehicle for the City Council to achieve its vision
of Federal Way's future; improve City governance of its own destiny; estabiish a Public Works organization with
sound management that meets Federal Way's needs responsibiy; provide prompt, courteous, quality, helpful
services; and, help our community achieve its goals to improve its northwest living and business environment
with special emphasis on improving transportation and surtace water systems.
�
The Public Works Department is organized into six divisions. The Administrative Services Division provides �
the overall management of the department. The Development Services Division provides the engineering plan
reviews and inspections of developments. The Traffic Services Division provides transportation planning, �
traffic operations, and neighborhood traffic services. The Street Systems Division provides the street
improvements and maintenance functions. The Surtace Water Management Division provides the surface
water systems improvements and maintenance functions. The Solid Waste and Recycling Division manages �
the solid waste and recycling contract. The Department also provides Emergency Management coordination.
Division Summary:
�
Highlights/Changes:
GIS Charpes. In 1996, the Surtace Water Management portion of the Geographic Information Service budget �
was reduced from 40% to 30%, resulting in changes of $14,688.
Public Involvement 8� Education. In 1996, an active public participation program will continue. Activities will �
include storm drain stenciling, habitat planting, volunteer monitoring, and lake and stream management.
Waste Disposal Charqes. In 1996, $10,000 has been added to the SWM maintenance budget for the disposal of �
waste asphalt, concrete, and ditch spoils. These materials had previously been stockpiled for reuse or disposal.
Traffic Sianal Maintenance and Operation Cont�acts. The existing WSDOT traffic signal maintenance contract �
will be fu�ther reduced on key corridors in 1996.
Electricitv. In 1996, the City inventory of street lights, tra�c signals, and pedestrian flashers increased, which

�l Exqedited Contract Plan Review. The budget for contract services has continued to include expedited reviews of
civil site work. For those applicants who wish to expedite the review to a shorter period than what staff can
anticipate providing, plan review by outside consultants is used. It is anticipated that expedited services demand
�, in 1996 will continue at the current level. An amount to $20,000 is allocated to these services. These costs are
recaptured through permit fees where the applicant must reimburse the actual cost of the service, if this service
, is requested.
� Soils Second Ooinion. The budget for contract services is continued in 1996 to include $5,000 for second
opinion review of geotechnical reports for projects in areas of questionable soil stability. Outside geotechnical
consultants are used for these second opinions.
� Streets Maintenance. In 1994, approximately 700 acres were annexed to the City east of I-5 which included
several miles of streets. The 1996 budget includes $26,233 to cover the costs of maintaining these roads that
� were added to the existing street system, at the current level of service.
In 1996, $20,000 has been moved from the object account #363 "Stone and Gravel" to object #410 "Professional
Services" account. These funds will be used to reimburse the streets maintenance contractor for costs incurred
to purchase aggregates for use in the right of way maintenance contract.
Snow and Ice Proqram. The 1996 Adopted Budget includes $31,259 for snow and ice removal during average
winter weather conditions. Service is provided by the City, Lakehaven Utility Distrid, and private contractors.
'�,�,, There is also a reserve fund of $100,000 for years when this budgeted amount is not adequate. It has been
determined that during a harsh winter, costs for snow and ice removal can reach $200,000.
� Dere4ulation of Commercial Recvclina Services. Federal legislation which became effective in 1995 prevents
cities from setting rates for commercial recyclable materials collection. Any service provider may offer services
to commercial accounts at market-driven rates, rather than rates set by the city. As a result of the deregulation,
:� increased competition may result in lower prices in general for commercial recycling services. But deregulation
may also decrease the range of recyclables routinely collected (since there is less incentive to collect materials
with low or no value). Recycling figures from service providers other than Federal Way Disposal Company will
be difficult to obtain, and this will make it more difficult for the City to document progress in reaching mandated
� recycling goals. Local governments still have the authority to set rates for residential recycling. Therefore, the
rates the City has established for residential recycling service will remain in effect.
Since the City receives no franchise fees from this service, there is no anticipated impact on the City's Solid
Waste fund due to deregulation.

include storm drain stenciling, habitat planting, volunteer monitoring, and lake and stream management.
Aquatic Plant Mana�ement. Completion of the Aquatic Plant Management plan in 1995 will allow an aggressive
implementation effort to begin in 1996.

Purpose/Description:
The Solid Waste and Recycling Program components include: managing the Solid Waste Franchise Agreement
with Federal Way Disposal Company, managing grant programs, including preparation of applications,
implementation of projecis, and processing reimbursement requests; providing waste reduction, reuse, recycling,
and composting outreach to businesses and residents via direct assistance, brochures, mailers, and newsietter
inserts; resolution of citizen's issues regarding service, and solid waste and hazardous materials disposal options;
funding litter control operations and supplies; participation in regional Solid Waste and Recycling issue
evaluation; and franchise retainage and division budget management.
The Solid Waste and Recycling Program also promotes compliance with the goais adopted by the City of Federal
Way, as estabiished by the King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan ("Plan'� in accordance
with RCW 70.95. These goals include reduction of the waste stream by 50% in the year 1995 and by 65% in the
year 2000. Reduction in 1994 totaled an estimated 38°� of the waste stream, and there is ample opportunity to
increase this pertormance level with programs planned for 1995 and 1996.
Highlights/Changes:
Grants. Grants have provided a significant increase in funding available for the Solid Waste and Recycling
Division, as reflected in the mid-1995 budget adjustment. Specific outreach projects, which are being initiated in
1995, are budgeted for continuation in 1996, primarily in the Professional Services object account. These funds
will cover activities related to multi-family, commercial, and residential projects.
The Solid Waste and Recycling Division will continue to apply for and obtain grant funds to support waste
reduction and recycling outreach efforts. Anticipated grant funds that will be available in 1996 include:

�
As applications for these grants progress, staff will present the grant applications to Council for approval. Staff �
will also identify the grant matches that may be required based on the scope of work and eligible projects
specified by each grant.
Dereaulation of Commercial Recvclin� Services. Federal legislation which became effective in 1995 prevents
cities from setting rates for commercial recyclable materials collection. Any service provider may offer services
to commercial accounts at market driven rates, rather than rates set by the City. As a result of the deregulation,
increased competition may result in lower prices in general for commercial recycling services. But deregulation
may also decrease the range of recyclables routinely collected (since there is less incentive•to collect materials
with low or no value). Recycling figures from se�vice providers other than Federal Way Disposal Company will
be difficult to obtain, and this will make it more difficult for the City to document progress in reaching mandated
recycling goals. Local govemments still have the authority to set rates for residential recycling. Therefore, the
rates the City has established for residential recycling service will remain in effect.
Consultinq Contracts. This item is decreased by $13,000 in anticipation of grants available next year to fund this
activity. If obtained, these grant funds will be included in the mid-1996 budget adjustment.
Bulk Class Postaqe. The number of residences for a city-wide mailing was estimated by the Postal Service at
38,000, and bulk postage rates are anticipated to rise to $0.188. This increase is needed to maintain the 1995
service level.
Travel and Trainina. Funding for airfare is added in anticipation of travel to and from conferences.
Advertisina. Based on past experiences, a minor amount of funding is wamanted to cover anticipated advertising
costs.
Le4al Notices. A minor amount of funding is added to cover anticipated contractor solicitation and potential rate
related public notices.

include the 1990 Golfun property G.O. bond issue, the 1991 Evergreen site G.O. bond issue, the 1991 Saghalie �
acquisition certificates of participation, and the 1993 Saghalie Park development G.O. bond issue.
The resources in this Fund are transferred from the General Fund interest earnings and real estate excise taxes. �
Council budget policy calls for the prefunding of debt service, meaning that the next year's debt service is
provided for and transfers are made to the Debt Service Fund in the current year.
Scheduled debt payments have decreased $387,600 or 20.6°�. The primary reason for this substantial decrease
is due to the retirement of the 1990 G.O. Bond Issue in 1995.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 1996 ADOPTED BUDGET
CAPITAL BUDGET PREPARATION GUIDELINES
Introduction
In 1992, the City of Federal Way determined the financial requirements to match specific levels of
, service for park, transportation and surface water management (SWM) programs. Since that time, the
City has produced a Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) through the year 2010. The City has developed a
model to assist in determining the financiai resources needed to provide a specified levei of service.
' This not only includes the resources needed to acquire and develop new park facilities or make
transportation and SWM improvements, but also the resources needed to maintain and/or operate the
facilities/improvements annually. The following sections outline the processes used to develop the
capital facilities plan through 2010 and the 1996 capital budget. This section also includes spreadsheets
, detailing the various projects and financing sources between 1995 and 2010. Finally, the plans identify
resource shortfalls by component for each period.
,
u
Overview
The adopted 1996 capital projecYs budget will display all major capital improvement projects �n which the
City is involved. The 1996 capital budget will be devoted primarily to transportation and street capital
improvements associated with the $7.5 million bond issue that the citizens of Federal Way passed on
November 7, 1996. These projects tie directly to the City's ten year City Improvement Plan (CIP).
' It is difficult to precisely define what characteristics a project should have before it is included in the CIP
Plan for the City Council's review and approval. The following criteria may be used as a general guide
however, there are always exceptions that require managemenYs judgment. The City Manager will,
therefore, decide through an administrative process which projects are to be included in the CIP Plan.
' Department managers are responsible for the cost estimates of their proposed programs, including the
future impact of maintenance and operation costs related to the implementation of completed projects.
�
�
�
�
Il
�
'
,
�
The CIP plan is a ten year plan -- 1996 through 2005 which will include not only proposed capital needs,
but the associated maintenance and operation requirements as well. However, in conjunction with the
City's GMA planning horizon, the plan has been extended through the year 2010. It is anticipated that
the plan will have more expenditures than revenues resulting in large capital and maintenance and
operation imbalances. Once funds have been identified, they will be incorporated into the plan. The
plan must identify the revenues to be used to repay all interim and long term debt, otherwise a
debt issuance will not be included in the plan. Debt financing is not assumed unless a
repayment source can be identified.
Revenues
Management Services will determine revenue projections in consultation with the various departments.
Revenue sources will consist of:
Pay-As-You-Go - This revenue source should only be identified if applicable funds are available.
Funds currently available include Arterial Street Fund motor vehicle fuel tax monies and
carryforward (savings) from 1995. The• appropriation of savings from a prior year must be
approved by the City Manager.
2. Grants - List all grants accordingly and note matching funds if applicable. These may include,
but are not restricted to FAUS (Federal Aid to Urban Systems) Grants, IAC (Interagency
Committee for Outdoor Recreation) Grants, ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency
Act) Grants, State Grants, TIB (Transportation Improvement Board) Grants, UAB (Urban Arterial
Board) Grants and WSDOT (Washington State Department of Transportation) Grants.
� 3. Mitigation/Impact Fees - This revenue source will include impact and mitigation fees designated
for transportation, park and other improvements. This funding is to partially finance
improvements that shall mitigate the cumulative impacts of growth and development within the
�
235
CITY OF FEDERAL WAI� 1996 ADOPTED BUDGET
City. These revenues may include contributions from private developers, King County (Open
Space Bond Issue), METRO and others made by private sector entities. It will be the
department's responsibility to identify this revenue source.
4. User Fees - This revenue source is defined as a payment of a fee for direct receipt of a pubiic
service by the person benefiting from the service. These revenues may include storm drainage
fees, solid waste fees, street utility charges and recreation fees. Currentiy, the City of Federal
Way only collects user fees associated with storm drainage, solid waste and recreation services.
Exaenditures
A CIP project will be generally defined to be any project which possesses all of the following
characteristics:
1.
2.
3.
Exceeds an estimated cost of $25,000.
Involves new physical construction, reconstruction, replacement of existing system or acquisition
of land or structures.
Is funded by City in whole or in part, or involves no City funds but is the City's responsibility for
implementing, such as a 100% grant-funded project.
Capital Expenditures
Project cost is an estimate of the resources required to take a project from design through construction.
The capital budget process will entail updating the project expense worksheets. Project costs will be
segregated into six sections (if applicable):
1. Design Services
2. Property Acquisition
3. Equipment Acquisition
4. Constnaction
5. Inspection and Management
6. Contingencies
Maintenance and Operatin4 (M � 0) Exaenditures
Maintenance and operating costs are planned expenditures covered in the City's Annual Proposed
Budget and may include personnel, supply, and contract costs needed to maintain a completed project.
It will be necessary to identify future maintenance and operation costs related to the implementation of
completed projects. The purpose of collecting information on potential impacts to the operating fund is
to provide a measure of increased services or decreased services directly related to the project. Reliable
cost estimations will allow the City to better approximate and prepare for the direct long term expenses
that a project could incur. It will be necessary to identify ongoing revenues to finance increased
operating costs that may result from the completion of a capital project.
Budqet Policies
In addition to the guidelines provided above, the City has developed comprehensive budget policies that
specifically address the preparation of a capital budget. These policies can be found in the executive
section of this document.

At the end of 1995, the City of Federal Way maintained 1,252 acres of park facilities. The acreage is
comprised of six components: neighborhood parks, community parks, regional parks, linear parks, open
space areas, and special use facilities.
Table 1 iliustrates the number of acres currently maintained within both Federal Way city limits and
planning area by park type.
Maintenance and Operations
' Maintenance and operation costs are calculated fo� each component based upon the type of park. The
following table illustrates the park type and cost by component type. Maintenance and operation costs
are projected to increase 3.5% annually and are included in the Parks CFP as projects are completed.

Overview
The CFP estimates the future maintenance and operation costs for projects maintained by the City. The
first component of the transportation pian is the City's annual overlay program. Currently, the City
allocates approximately $725,000 per annum to this program. However, the City estimates that $2
million per annum is needed to adequately maintain the current infrastructure system. This does not
take into account M 8 O needed to support new development and improvements anticipated over the
next 16 years. This M 8 O requirement is based upon an arterial-lane-mile (ALM) cost resulting from the
development or improvement. Currently, the model estimates these costs to be $2,250 per mile.
However, over time this cost is projected to grow to $13,854 per mile (includes inflationary growth) by
2010 to meet the M& O requirements needed to maintain and operate the City's transportation network.
The capital development and improvement portion of the plan is based upon the City's Transportation
Improvement Plan (TIP). Projects are ranked and prioritized based upon ten evaluation criteria: ease of
implementation; air quality impact; consistency with Vision 2020 and GMA plans; cost effectiveness;
non-motorized supportive; high occupancy vehicle supportive; transit needs; safety; congestion; and
capacity. Projects are given zero to four points for each criteria, with proje�ts that best satisfy the criteria
having the highest cumulative score.
Maintenance and Operations
Maintenance and operation costs are calculated for each component based upon the type of
improvement. The following table illustrates the improvement type and associated M 8 O cost with each
improvement. Maintenance and operation costs are projected to increase 3.5% annually and are
included in the Street and Traffic CFPs as projects are completed.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT (SWM)
The goals of the Surface Water Management (SWM) capital facilities plan are to provide information for
the City's use in making decisions regarding the protection of the public's health, safety, and property
from flooding caused by stormwater runoff. In addition, it is desired to maintain and, where possible,
enhance surtace water quality in the City.
SWM capital needs have been evaluated and a plan has been developed to meet these needs. The
objectives of the plan are as follows:
• Evaluate the capacity of the existing trunk collection systems.

• Develop numerical models that can be used to analyze existing conveyance capacities

• Determine existing storm water flows and predict expected flow increases due to future
development.
• Identify opportunities for water quality enhancement.
and
land
• Identify capital improvements required to reduce or prevent existing and predicted flooding
problems.
• Pertorm preliminary design of proposed improvements and prepare a project cost estimate.
• Rank the identified capital improvement projects.
• Prepare a capital facilities plan based on ranked improvement projects.
The City's storm drainage system is comprised of several major trunk systems. To identify potentiai
flooding problems in each system, a hydraulic analysis was pertormed using the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). Weaknesses were identified and
proposed projeats were developed that would provide better drainage and reduce flood hazards under
existing and future land development conditions. Criteria were developed for evaluating the adequacy of
existing drainage facilities and all proposed improvements, The criteria estabilshed were to address four
areas: existing conveyance facilities; existing detention facilitles; proposed conveyance facilities; and
proposed detention facilities. Cost estimates were prepared for each project and include the following
sections: erosion control; tra�c control; mobilization; state sales tax; contingency; engineering,
administration and construction management; and land acqulsition.
The evaluation of #he capital improvement projects is conducted in four tiers:
Tier l ranks problem areas based on the severity of the problem, based on historical fiooding and
predicted future flooding.
Tier ll ranks potential solutions for each problem area so that a preferred altemative can be selected for
each.
Tier 111 ranks specific areas in each of the preferred altematives from Tier II on a city-wide basis in order
to develop an initial implementation order for the proposed capital projects.
Tier IV is a re-evaluation of the ranking in Tier III due to the need to sequence or group projects based on
' dependent relationships between them. The order of implementation may be changed if projects must
be constructed in a specific sequence. Also under this tier, the final proposed order of projects is
compared to that from the first tier and any differences are resolved.
C'�
�
II
,�
'
'
Evaluation criteria were established within Tiers II and III, and projects are given zero to five points for
each criterion, with five representing projects that best satisfy the criterion. All criteria are weighed using
values from one to three. Tier I and IV are subjective and were not ranked using the point system.

Revenues and Other Financing Sources
Bond proceeds account for $7.5 million or 52.4% of financing support for the 1996 Adopted Capital
Budget. These monies relate to the $7.5 million in transportation and street improvements the voters
approved on November 7, 1995. The next largest financing source are grant proceeds, which total $2.2
million or 15.6% of all sources of funding. This financing component consists of a state grant from the
transportation improvement board (TIB) in support of the South 312th street improvement project.
Beginning fund balances comprises the third largest category, totaling $2.1 million or 14.8% of al{
financing sources. Transfers-in total $1.6 million or 11.5% of total sources and originate from the
Surtace Water Management Fund ($1,483,853) to support SWM capital projects and General Fund
($161,374) to support the Overlay Program. The remainder of funding is comprised of arterial fuel taxes
in support of the City's overlay program, and General/Street Fund and miscellaneous which comprise
3.6% and 2.1 % of total financing, respectively.

The 1996 Adopted Capital Budget totals $14,333,249 (including projected ending fund balances of
$1,029,647). The capital budget is comprised of five components, excluding ending fund balanees which
are not appropriated; Surtace Water Management ($2,420,307); Traffic ($2,648,000); Street Systems
($7,223,575), ove�lay program ($725,120) and other capital improvements ($286,600).
The majority of capital improvements adopted in 1996 relate to the $7.5 million bond issue for
transportation and street improvements. The transportation and street improvements will focus on
reducing congestion and improving safety, including intersection improvements, street widening, city-
wide signalization and tum lane improvements. The need for these improvements has arisen from the
tremendous population and business growth that has occurred within Federal Way over the past 25
years. The following graphs and table illustrate and compare by component and project, 1996 and 1995
capital budgets.

The following are definitions for common terms found in budget summary statements, as weil as
an explanation of financiai terms found in this budget document.
Accrual Basis of accounting is used in proprietary (enterprise and intemal service) funds. Under
it, transactions are recognized when they occur. Revenues are recognized when
earned and expenses are recognized when incuRed. "When" cash is received or
disbursed is not a determining factor.
Appropriation An authorization made by the City Council which pertnits officials to incur
obligations against and to make expenditures of govemmental resources.
Appropriations are usually made for fixed amounts and are typically granted for a
one year period, though multi-year appropriations can be established for capital
project and other special purpose funds. Multi-year appropriation authority
remains in effect until the amount appropriated has been totally expended or until
the fund, program, or project is closed because its assigned purpose has been
changed or accomplished.
Assessed Valuafion The estimated value placed upon real and personal prope►ty by the King County
Assessor as the basis for levying property taxes.
B.A.R.S. The State of Washington prescribed Budaetinq Accountina Reportina Svstem
Manual for which compliance is required for all governmental entities in the State
of Washington.
Benefits Employer contributions paid by the City as part of the conditions of employment.
Examples include health/dental insurance, state public employees retirement
system, city retirement system, and employment security.
Bond (Debt Instrument) A written promise to pay (debt) a specified sum of money (called principal or
face value) at a specified future date (called the maturity date) along with periodic
interest paid at a specified percentage of the principal (interest rate). Bonds are
typically used for long-term debt to pay for specific capital expenditures.
Budget A plan of financial operation embodying an estimate of proposed expenditures for
a given period (typically a fiscal year) and the proposed means of financing them
(revenue estimates). The term is also sometimes used to denote the officially
approved expenditure ceilings under which the City and its departments operate.
Budgef Amendment A change to a budget adopted in accordance with State law. A budget may be
amended to increase expenditures/expenses at the fund level by ordinance
without public notice or public hearing requirements, when unanticipated revenues
occur or emergencies exist (RCW 35A.33.080 and 35A.33.120). The City
Manager is authorized to make budget amendments between organizations of the
same fund, as long as there is no change in the total budget for that fund.
Budget Calendar
C. D. B. G.
The schedule of key dates or milestones which the City follows in the preparation
and adoption of the budget.
Community Development Block Grant.
Capital Expenditures made to acquire, reconstruct, or construct major fixed or capital
assets. A fixed asset is a tangible object of a long-term character which will
continue to be held or used, such as land, buildings, machinery, fumiture, and
other equipment. A capital asset must exceed $1000 in cost and have an
expected useful life expectancy of 12 months. For purposes of this definition, a
"fixed asset" includes a group of items purchased together that will be used "for a
single purpose" and which could not be used effectively by themselves.
Appendix - 1
�
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 1996 ADOPTED BUDGET
Capital Facilities A capital facilities pian includes an inventory of existing facilities, a forecast of
Plan future needs, proposed locations, capacities for new or expanded facilities, and a
financing plan. The financing plan outlines the costs, revenues and time
schedules for each capital improvement project. In compliance with the Growth
Management Act legislation within the State of Washington, the City is preparing
such a plan.
Capital Improvement A plan for capital expenditures to be incurred each year over a period of five or
Program more future years setting forth each capital project, identifying the expected
beginning and ending date for each project, the amount to be expended in each
year, and the method of financing those expenditures.
Certificates of
Participation
Contingency
A certificate of participation represents a divided share of a lease that is
assigned or marketed to investors. These debt instruments typically represent
general obligation debt but can also be issued by enterprises.
A budgetary reserve set aside for emergencies or unforeseen expenditures for
which no other budget exists.
Councilmanic Bonds Councilmanic bonds refer to bonds issued with the approval of the Council, as
opposed to voted bonds which must be approved by vote of the public.
Councilmanic bonds must not exceed .75% of the assessed valuation.
Debt Service Payment of interest and repayment of principal to holders of the City's debt
instruments.
Depreciation (1) Expiration in the service life of capital assets attributable to wear and tear,
deterioration, action of the physical elements, inadequacy or obsolescence. (2)
That portion of the cost of a capital asset which is charged as an expense during a
particular period.
Enterprise Fund A fund type used to account for operations that are financed or operated in a
manner similar to private business enterprise where the intent of the goveming
body is that costs or providing goods and services be recovered primarily through
user charges.
Expenditures/ Where accounts are kept on the modified accrual basis (expenditures) or accrual
Expenses basis (expenses) of accounting, the cost of goods received or services rendered
whether cash payments have been made or not. Where accounts are kept on a
cash basis, expenditures are recognized only when the cash payments for the
above purposes are made.
Fund An independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts
recording cash and/or other resources together with all related liabilities,
obligations, reserves, and equities which are segregated for the purpose of
carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives. See the fund divider
pages for specific fund category definitions.
Fund Balance The excess of an entity's assets over its liabilities. A negative fund balance is
sometimes called a deficit. An undesignated fund balance reflects historical
receipts less historical expenditures in non-proprietary funds. Since all
designated and reserved resources have been removed or deducted in arriving at
the year-end undesignated fund balance, this value is available for budgetary
appropriation.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY 1996 ADOPTED BUDGET
Bonds for which the full faith and credit of the insuring government are pledged
for Bonds payment.
A long-range statement of broad direction, purpose, or intent, based on the
needs of the community.
Growth Management Legislation enacted in 1990 by the State Legislature requiring that all jurisdictions
in Act the larger counties adopt new comprehensive plans by the end of 1993.
This was enacted due to the enormous growth experienced in the State and the
lack of uniform guidance for related development. This Act further specified that
all plans conform to a broad set of guidelines set out by the State and that they be
compatible with the guidelines of both the parent county and neighboring
jurisdi�tions. Eight specific elements, including concurrency, are required to be
included in every Comprehensive plan. Concurrency requires that infrastn�cture
be available at the same time as new development.
Interfund Services Payments for services rendered made by one City department or fund to another.
Intemal Service Fund billings are included in the category. These biilings,
however, also inciude equity transfers to intemai service funds in support of "first
time" asset acquisitions.
Interfund Transfers
Intergovemment
Contributions from one City fund to another in support of activities of the receiving
fund. Loans are not included.
Services purchased from other govemment agencies, and normally includes
types of Services services that only govemment agencies provide.
Modified Accrual of accounting is used in govemmental fund types (generai, special revenue, debt
Basis service, and capital project funds). Under it, revenues and other financial
resource increments are recognized when they become both measurabie and
available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are
generally recognized when they are incurred (bring forth a liability).
� Net Interest Cost This is the traditional method of caiculating bids for new issues of municipal (N/C)
securities. It is computed as either: (a) Dollar Cost: total scheduled coupon
payments + bid discount (- bid premium), or (b) Interest Rate: total scheduled
' coupon payments + bid discount (- bid premium) divided by bond year dollars.
Bond year dollars is the sum of the number of years each bond in an issue is
scheduled to be outstanding multiplied by its par value.
