f~ October 16 and 17 Budget Study Session Follow-up Items-
~neral:
What are the B&O and Utility tax rates in other Six Flags communities?
The Business & Occupation (B&O) Tax is a very broad tax category consisting of a variety of business
taxes and fees Most states have some form of B&O tax, but very few base the tax on gross receipts as
done in the State of Washington. The most common form of B&O is a "franchise" tax for the
"privilege" of doing business in a state or municipality. This tax is commonly calculated on the net
worth or capital of the business. Of the fifteen states where Six Flags has facilities we reviewed
earlier, ten have such a franchise tax at various rates, ranging from 0.025% to 4.5%.
All states have some form of tax on utility services, but few have separate statutes on utility tax.
Generally, state and local income taxes apply to utility companies at the same rates as do other
businesses. Some states also apply the full sales tax on utility bills; others apply it only on selected
utilities or a portion of utility services (e.g. transmission and distribution). Various exemptions and
differential rotes are used.
Because of these variations, a full comparison of B&O and utility taxes is difficult and time consuming
to obtain. Attachment 1 shows an attempt to provide the comparison based on a quick review of the
tax codes and applicable rates of these localities using tax comparison data that is available to
accountants and tax professionals but the completeness is not guaranteed.
Why doesn't the 2002 adopted budget in this year's document tie precisely to the 2001/2002 adopted
budget document?
The two most common reasons for the difference between these two documents are: 1) Reorganization
or assignment of responsibilities. This can occur within a division, between divisions and/or
departments. 2) Reclassification of costs due to clarification in the account structure. Where these
changes occur, the budget will be moved to the correct departraent line items creating a difference for
the affected area. The adopted budget as a whole shall remain the same except for rounding errors.
Rounding errors can cause differences as we round all numbers to the nearest dollar in the once
adopted budget.
The number in question is Parks Recreation Department's budget summary of $4.5 million. There is a
$6 difference in the adopted budget at the bottom line level ($4,526,434 in the 01/02 document vs.
4,526,426 in the 03/04 documents). There are also differences at the division level, specifically,
between the maintenance and recreation divisions. The difference between the maintenance and
recreation divisions is due to moving the charge of a vehicle at $513 from the maintenance division to
the recreation division, which uses the vehicle. The $6 bottom line difference is due to rounding at the
detail line items which are summarized into these summary level figures.
What are other King County cities doing with their utility tax rates? What are the rates for the larger
cities in Pierce County?
This is also a follow-up question from the information we presented to Council at the October 16th
study session. We showed what are the connnon taxing sources used by cities in the King County. 29
cities currently tax the 3 major utilities: Electricity, Gas, and phone. The request is for staff to provide
information of changes in utility taxes being considered by the south King County cities and what are
the tax rates for major Pierce County cities. In talking to these cities, we learned that the Auburn City
Council is considering an increase in their utility tax rates from 4.5% to 6%; The Tukwila City Council
is considering enactment ora utility tax with staggered rate increases: 4% effective 2003/04, 5%
effective 2005/06, and 6% effective in 2007.
Utility Tax Among Large Pierce County Cities:
Lakewood 6% 6% 6% 6%
Puyallup 6% 6% 6% 4% 6% 8% 8% 8%
Tacoma 6% 6% 6% 8% 8% 8% 8% 8%
University Place 6% 6% 6% 6% 6% 8% 8% 6%
* Tacoma Public Utilities provide electricity, water and sewer services in City of UP and the rates
shown are franchise fees based on agreement instead of utility tax.
4. Would like to see 5 years of Budgeted vs. Actual Expenditures.
The following is a comparison of historical budgeted and actual operating expenditures for the past
five years. Some of the budget "savings" are for specific projects not completed and are allocated in
the following year during the carpy-forward budget adjustment.
5 YEAR HISTORY -
BUDGET VS. ACTUAL
(in dollars)
5. What was the garbage rate adjustment for single family households we made with the new franchise
agreement implemented last year?
By rebidding the garbage franchise, the new rates implemented in 2001allowed homeowners to save
between $31.56 and $48.96 per year on the garbage bills, depending if the service is 1 or 2 cans per
pickup.
Kenneth Jones Pool:
Direction to staff:
A. Staff to negotiate with KC for additional considerations in exchange of the assumption.
These could include properties King County owns either in the city limits or in the PAA.
The ones in city should include the District Court facility and the Kentwood Pit.
B. Make sure any agreement provides the city sufficient lea ways in exiting the obligation;
C. Requesting KC to extend its operation for 3 - 6 month to allow time for negotiation and
orderly transition.
D. Direction for Discussion with FWSD about the land ownership/lease issue
E. Addition for Council deliberation:
Move th~ combined Seniar/Conm~unity Center to the top priority project category based on 2002
commumty investment survey results, and add the pool as an additional element to the project.
Staff will continue discussions with King County based on the above direction.
Questions to follow-up:
6 Do KC's commitment and/or obligation under the Forward Thrust Bonds allow them to abandon the
pool after 2003?
In 1967 the King County Commissioners passed King County Resolution No. 34571 authorizing the
Clerk to submit the ballot proposition for park and recreation bonds to the County Auditor for voter
approval at the next election. The resolution specifies that the bond funds, which will maitre in forty
(40) years from date of issuance, will be used to construct approximately eight (8) swinuning pools at
or near senior high schools or community centers. Maintenance and operation for any of the identified
recreation projects is not addressed in the resolution. King County fulfilled its obligation under the
resolution because the pool was constructed.
The lease between the Federal Way School District and King County establishes a forty (40) year lease
for a specific piece of real property. The lease does not mention the swimrmng pool, except that the
next to the last paragraph states that the lease will be reviewed after five (5) years "with the intent at
this date that it shall be renewed for at least the life of the building on the premises. To our
knowledge, no such renewal has ever been executed.
7. What is the economic impact generated from the pool? Location sensitive?
40% of the pool's users come from outside the city limits. Some of these users might shop, eat, and
play in Federal Way as part of their trip, but the amount of spending is anticipated to be minor and
incidental in nature. Therefore, the direct and indirect economic impact from a pool designed for
general use is considered insignificant, regardless of its location. On the other hand, a pool that can be
used for competitive purposes would have more of an impact on the local economy.
8. What would be the operating results if we double the fee for non-residents of the City?
The portion of program revenue that is projected to come from non-residents is $74,000 a year, without
the 20% differential rate. The 20% nonresidential rate surcharge generates $14,800 and a 100%
surcharge will generate $74,000, a difference of $59,000. Assuming that a doubling of the non-
residential surcharge will reduce their usage by 35%, we anticipate that this would result in a revenue
loss of $51,800, for a net gain of $7,200.
9. What would the additional capital and operating costs be for a combined facility vs. maintaining two
separate facilities?
Generally, operation savings is realized in combining programming needs into one building by
eliminating the need to duplicate staffing functions for reception and registration. Savings in operation
costs will depend on the program and revenue goals determined for the facility. To address this
question, staff obtained information on four community centers. Three centers include pool(s) within
the region. From the information provide, two of the facilities with pools are self-funded, and one
subsidized by $400K. Note: these centers do not have as part of their design a Senior Center. In
contxast, the Tukwila Community Center does not have a pool but has a wing dedicated to seniors; this
facility operates with a 58% general fund subsidy.

Parks Budget:
1o. D~es Sch~l District p~an ~n c~ntributing $ t~ the arti~cial turf upgrade f~r Sagha~ie since it~s
shared?
Rod Leland, Capital Projects manager for the FWSD stated that the district is always interested in
partnerships with regard to capital projects. However, improvements to a Senior High School field are
a higher priority for the dis~ct than a n~ddle school program.
IL H~w w~u~d the change in grade structure (Saghalie f~rm 3-yearjuni~r high t~ 2-year middle sch~~~)
impact the use of the facility?
Rod Leland, stated FWSD will change from a junior high format to a m~ddle school format next year.
The field use for there afl. ar school athletic programs will not change. Grades 7 and 8 will have
football offered at the n~ddle schools.
12. What is the life cycle cost of the synthetic turf(life expectancy, operating cost saving) fkom this
investment?
The earliest example of synthetic turf in the northwest was installed in Oregon seven years ago. The
three major turf producers all offer an eight-year warranty. Based on more extensive experience in
Europe, the Washington representative for Field turf feels that it is reasonable to expect a 10 to 15 year
life in this region. The factors, wl/ich affect the synthetic materials, are largely climatic ones such as
UV rays and acid rain. Longer life can be expected with higher maintenance levels.
The rep suggested using 12 years as an expected life for the synthetic surface. When replacement is
necessary, only the synthetic surface will need to be replaced. The base preparation, which includes a
crushed rock layer, drainage system and sometimes a water wash system, will not need to be replaced.
The cost of replacing the synthetic surface is estimated at 50% of the original construction cost.
Depending on the dimension of a particular field, this can range between $250K to $350K.
Cost savings
The cost to maintain a natural grass field, including personnel time, materials such as fertilizer and
seed, machinery operation and maintenance, and irrigation water is approximately $13,000 per year.
Over a 12-year period this would equal $156,000.
Maintaining a synthetic field requires being "brushed" with a broom drag once a month. This cost is
estimated at $720 per year, or $8640 over the same 12~year period.
The second thing to consider is that the actual use of a synthetic field would increase substantially.
Where for example the natural grass football/soccer at Saghalie Park is currently scheduled on the
average 60 days per year, with a synthetic turf the field is capable of being used virtually around the
4
clock, 365 days per year. In the tong mn the true cost savings may be the opportunity to construct
fewer fields to meet the same or greater demand than we have today.
13. Do we have anypark facilities in planning area G?
The City has the following parks in planning are G:
Heritage Woods Park--28200 24th Place S.
~rlds pleasant two-acre neighborhood park nicludcs a playground structure, paved walking paths, picnic
tables and a small greenbelt area of native trees.
Wildwood Park--2315 S. 300th Street
Wildwood is a 2.3-acre neighborhood park with play structure, open lawn area, paved pathway and
picnic area.
Mark Twain Elementary School
In 1997, the City participated in helping to fund field improvements at the school. The 2.8-acre space
includes an open play area, two Little League fields, playground, and a paved court.
14. How many of the unincorporated pool users are with in the City's P/l/t?
The class registration data provided by the Kenneth Jones Pool does not provide detailed enough data
to ascertain the exact number of class participants who reside in Federal Way's PAA. Two records do
give a rough indication, however, of these figures.
The tirst is the figure for registrations from unincorporated areas, which total 30% of all registrations.
Second, most of Federal Way's PAA falls within the 98001 zip code, for which there were 403 users.
However, this zip code also falls into Aubttm's city limits and PAA. Based on a visual assessment of
the percentages for each city, and the knowledge of where the residential uses are concentrated, it is
roughly estimated that about 70%, or 282 of these users might be from Federal Way's PAA. Based on
1666 registrations, this veor rough estimate would give the result that about 17% of the users might be
coming from Federal Way's PAA.

15. How do our calls for service compare with other Valley Com cities?
The summary table shows dispatched calls for service for the five Valley Communication Center cities
over the past five years. Except for Tukwila, which showed a consistent reduction in calls for services
over the five-year period, all other valley cities showed a consistent trend of thc number of calls
bottoming out in 1999 and increasing steadily thereafier. The 2002 estimates are annualized, based on
calls received in the first four months of the year.

16. What is the composition of these calls for service and are there any changes over time?
We currently do not collect this particular information because the calls for services can be influenced
by a number of conditipns and events that may or may not be a lime reflection of the community's
safety or crime. We could start tracking them for future reference. In general, the statistics commonly
used in trending public safety services are crime rates, which should parallel the type of calls we
receive under normal conditions.
Are there any response time standards? How does our response time compare?
We have not been able to find any statistics on response times. The following chart shows the
response time for Federal Way in comparison with other valley cities. According to the chart, Federal
Way's response times are higher than that of the average.

19. What is the department's turnover rate over the p fi yast ew ears?.
The table below shows vacancies for sworn officer positions over the past 20 months. Some of the
turnover is due to retirement and involuntary resignations. We anticipate that there will always be
some vacancies due to normal attrition; the goal is to maintain the overall turnover rate at around 5%.

20. How are our recruiting efforts?
To recruit qualified applicants, the department has used radio, television ads, on-site recruiting, and
attended job fairs locally and out-of-state.
Since January 2001, we have completed two entry-level officer recruitments and are currently
conducting the third; we also have a continuous recruitment program for lateral officers and have
conducted eight tests with two more scheduled before the end of 2002. During these recruitments, we
received a total of 312 applications and hired 19.
The environment for lateral office recruitment is very competitive in the State of Washington. Sixteen
cities posted current openings for entry-level police officers and fifty have ads for lateral officers in the
October issue of AWC Job Net Bulletin. The demands for lateral officers have not only made the
recruitment very competitive, but have also increased the challenge of retention.
21. Why d~ we inc~ude the fu~~ year c~sts f~r SR~s in 2~~3~ since sch~~~ d~es n~t start unti~ September?
The full-year costs are used in case we cannot find sufficient lateral officers to fill the department's
vacancies and need to hire new recruits. In either case, we will assign an existing experienced officer
to the schools and backfill the City force with new hires. The sooner the hire, the earlier the officer
can be ready for the street. If we assume the position will be filled in mid-year, it will decrease the
2003 funding requirement by $77,200.
22. Why is the ongoing expense of $55K for the two SROs in 2004 more than 25% of the cost two officers,
considering each officer cost is $77k?
The City and the Distxict entered into the service contxact in 1999, with the initial contract amount set
at 75% of the cost of a fully equipped officer at that time. Since then, the contract rate has been
adjusted annually by local inflation (CPI), which is less than the actual cost increase for officer wages
and benefits. As a result, the current billing rate of$51,811 is only 66.7% or 2/3rd of the cost of an
officer. Therefore, the City's portion of the cost in 2004, based on current contract terms, at $55,239 is
approximately 1/3 of $159,558, the cost of the 2 SROs.
23. What is the projected salary savings for offsetting the increase in OT cost?
Based on the actual salary and benefit costs as of 9.5 months, the projected salary and benefit savings
for the year will be slightly over $1 million, which will offset the projected $716,785 average in OT
costs for a projected net savings of $289,000.
24. How much do we have in the Drug/Seizure and how do we spend it? Is any amount earmarked for drug
education?
The city started its narcotics unit in 1997 and has generated $1.03 million in seizure funds over the pat
five years. Starting 2001, the City's enforcement focus has changed from national level to more local
area; therefore do not anticipate will generate as much new funds as in the past. The revenue
recognized in 2001 and 2002 are primarily from under cover activity substantially completed in prior
years.
These funds can be used for drag enforcement, education and related costs. Historically, the City used
the funds for personnel and overtime cost incurred on drug enforcement activities; set up covert office

Community Development
25. What would the Human Service Comp Plan cover? Would it include coordination among HS agencies
and/or address improvement of process efficiency, if it does, may be worthwhile move the plan to
2003?
The current Human Services Comprehensive Plan was developed in 1999. The appendices include
Federal Way's CDBG strategies for 2000-2003.
In order to be considered for a CDBG Entitlement Community, we are required to submit a
Consolidated Plan which includes a citizen par~,icipation plan, housing and homeless needs assessment,
housing market analysis, and stxategic plan. In past years, we have also sent information from our
Comp Plan concerning our community profile, human services delivery system, and strategies for
Federal Way.
The drastic cuts to agencies due to the recession and lack of funding by the State and County will
impact our delivery system. Staffexpects to be looking at different ways of collaborating between
cities and agencies as well as other funders. The funding strategies for CDBG will need to be updated
in 2003 for implementation in 2004 unless the Council decides to extend them for another year.

26. What do we get out ofEDC?
The Seattle King County EDC is the main point of contact for both new and existing businesses
that are interested in relocating to the Puget Sound region and particularly interested in the
Seattle/King County area. The City's involvement with the EDC allows us to be aware of these
oppommifies and to be considered by those who contact the EDC. EDC staffare also assigned to areas
within the EDC region who become farrdliar with the communities in their area and can identify those
communities that are particularly welt suited for certain new or expanding businesses.
In addition to being the focal point of business expansions or relocations, they also sponsor events or
forums on economic development issues that concern the region as a whole and provide both
networking and problem solving opportunities.
As mentioned at the last study session, Federal Way is well represented on the EDC board with both
Councilmember Park as well as representatives from Quadrant and Enchanted Parks being members.
27. Immunization - In regards to smallpox, what role wouM the Cityplay?
The City offers immunization against more common occupational diseases/exposures as
identified/required by OSHA at the City's cost. The City and the employee Wellness Committee have
sponsored other health related events such as health check, flu shots, etc. for general employee welfare
purposes, primarily using funds raised by employees t¥om employees. If of significant interest of
employees, the small pox vaccine could be coordinated similarly.
Public Works Budget
28. Breakdown of the PW 410, 480 and Capital Ouday Accounts.
Attachment 2 shows the detail composition ofprofessiunal service, maintenance, and capital outlay
accounts for 2002 (adopted and adjusted) and 2003/04 proposed amounts. As indicated in the
summary, we corrected the classification of over $400k in costs from professional service accounts to
the appropriate line items. This correction resulted in both a significant decrease in professional
service liens and an increase in the maintenance and utility lines, respectively.
The Public Worlcs capital outlay amount is primarily for the sO'eet overlay program. The increase in
the 2002 adjusted budget and year-end estimate is from the amount carried forward from 2001.
