MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: David Timmons, City Manager
RE: 2006 Budget
DATE: December 2005
I am pleased to submit for your consideration the final budget plan for fiscal year 2006. The
attached documents represent a combined effort on the part of many city staff members and
particularly the Finance Department. I want to extend a thank you to all who have contributed in
this effort, especially the City Council.
The format is generally the same as last year; however, we have "cleaned up" the look of the
document hoping that you will find it more understandable. The document is organized to reflect
the status of the various management funds that are prescribed by law. Contained within these
are the various operating centers of city services.
For the most part, the budget plan is a "status quo' document. We have and will submit
suggestions for the year 2006; however, the basic operating program is maintained. Overall our
revenues appear stable. Expenses in most categories are stable with some areas that are
problematic. We have suggested some adjustments to address those areas of concern.
Areas that will demonstrate noteworthy changes are Fire/EMS and Equipment Rental. Fire/EMS
is subject to the next phase of consolidation implementation. Equipment Rental details a new
program initiative to consolidate and develop a self - balancing technology component to the
Equipment Rental Fund.
Probably the most dramatic personnel change is in the funding and status of the Fire/EMS Fund.
This will result in an adjustment to the staffing levels (FTE) comparison since Fire/EMS staff of
the City will become employees of the District. We are also addressing some areas we believe
would more efficiently be done by City employees rather than contractors. These include public
safety analysis, facilities maintenance and IT Services. We are recommending adjustments to
include new hires for these services.
There are options that could generate more revenue, but would require policy decisions by
Council before they could be relied upon, so they have not been included.
The following is a list of 2006 budget programs by fund:
General Fund
Undesignated revenues are estimated based on trends that we have identified. Modest growth
and status quo are the norm.
All activity centers will reflect a new IT rental service cost payable to the Equipment Rental
Fund. All IT equipment and services will be paid through the ER Fund and not separately
budgeted in individual areas of the budget.
Council expenses reflect salary adjustments to incorporate the new pay scale for Council.
City manager is status quo.
City Attorney reflects the addition of District Court costs paid to the County. This is only a
transfer to a new cost center.
DSD Special Projects is presented with the Long Range Planning Directors position vacant. This
will require Council deliberation and discussion on the proposed work plan and funding before
its inclusion in the budget. It does include a $50,000 CDBG grant to be expended during the year
for the Housing Needs Assessment.
DSD is presented with Revenue to Expense, with expenses exceeding program revenues by
$23,705. This will be credited against the unassigned General Fund revenue.
Finance is status quo with the following exceptions. There is a new hire to replace a position cut
three years ago to maintain business license and accounts. We have also reallocated staff costing
between Finance in the General Fund and the Utility Billing to more accurately reflect cost
accounting.
Police program revenues have been adjusted to reflect previously allocated County contract
services: Jail, Dispatch, Liquor Excise Tax and Animal Control. This will give the department
more say in how the funds are allocated and whether or not the services are meeting the most
critical needs. Also included are revenues for jail recovery costs.
Police expenditures are status quo until we can achieve cost containment with the
aforementioned County services contracts.
City Clerk is status quo with the following exception. I have reallocated the part time employee
previously allocated to PEG for filming Council meetings to the Clerk's budget center to more
accurately reflect actual supervision.
City Facilities is status quo except that I am recommending we hire a full time maintenance staff
person to perform janitorial services currently provided by contract. This will help with
continuity of the service as well as succession planning with staff.
Public restrooms are status quo for the year.
Non - departmental /Contracts are now allocated to departmental centers that are appropriate. This
includes for the most part the county contracts for IT, Health, Jail, Dispatch and District Court.
ii
Safety is status quo.
PEG is status quo except for the part time position allocated to the Clerk's budget. The revenue
and expense are based upon our estimate of trends for the revenues received from services
provided through cable subscriptions.
The GF reserves are maintained within the policy goal. Also there is a restricted component of
$200,000 within the balance that represents the judgment settlement received this year. The
unrestricted balance remains within the adopted policy goal.
Special Revenues
Drug Enforcement and Education Fund will not have any funds available.
Contingency Fund is at the maximum and does not require any additional contribution.
Street Fund is funded at the minimum required. Current revenue balances to current expense.
There is a cash reserve of $130,400 to fund delayed projects from this year. The new gas tax
revenue that may be repealed is budgeted as a contingency. The balance of the street program is
in the Capital Fund.
Library Fund is status quo with following exceptions. There is an increased cost for IT services
with the countywide (CLAN) system upgrade. We have received a resignation and I have
removed that position to compensate for the increased IT costs. This will be necessary until we
can consider alternative revenues for the Library.
Public Works Administration is status quo.
Lodging Tax is based upon my best estimate based on LTAC committee discussions. There will
be adjustments after the October meeting of the Advisory Committee.
Fire Equipment Joint Maintenance Fund is status quo.
Fire/EMS Fund is presented consistent with requirements of the consolidation efforts. The
contribution is predicated upon retaining funds to cover the remaining staff, debt service and
equipment rental. It represents a net savings to the General Fund of an estimated $85,000.
CDBG Fund represents anticipated loan activity for the year.
SDC Fund represents status quo. Consideration may be given to increase reserves by adjusting
fees based upon Construction Cost Index inflation.
Community Services Fund. Parks Maintenance and Pool are status quo. I have added a new
division for Events. This will give us a cost center for the Event Coordinator activities and
revenues.
General Government Debt Service Fund
iii
Revenues and expenses are balanced consistent with the annual debt service requirements.
LID Debt Service Funds. These are balanced and maintained based upon need.
Capital Project Fund
The CIP program is based upon authorized and anticipated projects for the year 2006 and
beyond. These are multiple year programs and the budget only reflects the 2006 anticipated
revenue and expense activities.
Parks and General projects for 2006 will be the Pool, Wave Viewing Gallery, trestle removal and
completion of the Skate Park.
City Hall Renovation will follow through with project completion in 2006.
Street CIP will vary based upon external funding. Individual projects will be presented to the
Transportation Committee. The most notable project will be the next phase of the intersection
improvements to Sims and Howard.
Fire Station CIP will be closed out and may be amended if funding for the new Police Station is
awarded.
Enterprise Fund and Trust Fund
Water /Sewer Utility. Revenues are reported based upon trends. It appears the recent rate
adjustments are in line and meeting the objectives. We may wish to consider an index
adjustment to keep current with inflation.
Expenses within the various divisions are status quo for the most part. The Utility Billing
Division has had payroll adjusted to realign its staff allocation to more accurately reflect current
demand.
Stormwater Fund. The revenue and expenses reflect status quo. Council may elect to adjust
rates based upon construction cost index.
Utility Construction Fund. There area variety of small projects that are scheduled for 2006.
These will be detailed in our discussions with the General Government Committee.
OGWS Transmission Pipeline Trust Fund. This is a service fund and pays for special project
related costs to the OGWS water system. The amount budgeted is a placeholder.
The balance of the funds contained on pages 60, 61 and 62 are service funds and comply with the
contractual debt service established.
Equipment Rental Revolving Fund. The fund revenue and expenses are consistent with our
strategy to address amortization of a replacement vehicle at a rental rate reflecting current
replacement cost. The largest vehicles are the fire apparatus and may be transferred to the
District under the consolidation strategy. Otherwise they are funded in this fund for 2006.
lv
Details of scheduled vehicle replacement will be presented to the General Government
Committee.
The new Information Services Division is a consolidation of technology services for the City.
What we have done is calculated a rate to charge all departments based upon number of email
accounts. Based upon this program revenue we drafted a program budget. This program consists
of the City retaining its own IT staff support person. Equipment costs will be separately
scheduled to the individual department as upgrades occur.
This program will not utilize funds already allocated for machinery equipment. We cannot by
law do that.
Firemen's Pension Fund. This is a restricted fund and is prescribed.
Court Agency Fund. This is a non - budgeted pass through fund and presented only to maintain
proper page placement.
Memorial Fund. This is a fund for receipt of gifts or donations to the City.
Golf Course Fund. This is a new fund to report restricted revenues generated from the golf
course lease. Funds can only be used for golf course improvements.
NW Maritime Center Agency Fund. This is a special restricted fund to account for pass through
funds allocated for the benefit of the NW Maritime Center Project.
Finally, a budget is managed document that continuously evolves during the year. Several issues
and policies were deferred into 2006 and will be addressed as supplemental times in 2006.
These matters will be presented to Council during their retreats and consideration by Council
may or may not bear budgetary impacts. Those policy matters that will result in impacts will be
managed by Council Committees during the fiscal year.

General Fund Revenues
The City of Port Townsend provides what
are considered general governmental
services authorized by state law, including
public safety, streets, parks and recreation,
planning and zoning, permits and
inspections, general administration, water,
resources.
The funds are segregated for the purpose of
carrying on specific activities or attaining
certain objectives. Funds are budgeted on a
cash basis in accordance with the Revised
sewer and storm services, garbage and Code of Washington (RCW) 36.33.
library services.
OVERVIEW
Budgeting is an essential element of the
financial planning, control, and evaluation
processes of government. The planning
process involves determining the types and
levels of services to be provided and
allocating available resources among various
departments, programs or functions.
Financial control and evaluation procedures
typically focus upon assuring that fixed
expenditure limitations (appropriations) are
not exceeded, and on comparing estimated
and actual revenues and expenditures.
The budget authorizes and provides control
of financial operations during the fiscal year.
Upon adoption, the expenditure estimates, as
modified by the Council, are enacted into
law through the passage of an appropriations
ordinance.
The appropriations constitute maximum
expenditure authorizations during the fiscal
year, and cannot be exceeded until
subsequently amended by the Council.
Expenditures are monitored through the
accounting system to assure budgetary
compliance.
The City of Port Townsend's accounting and
budgeting systems are organized and
operated on a fund basis as required by state
law. A fund is defined as a fiscal and
accounting entity with a self - balancing set of
accounts recording cash and other financial
While typically thought of as a financial
activity done to satisfy state law, budgeting
is a process of planning. Fiscal planning
involves all elements of government and
should be considered one of the most
important functions for city officials.
The process of budgeting will not only
allocate fiscal resources to meet needs and
provide services, but will set a direction for
the future. The elements of good planning
include identifying community needs, city
resources, the capability to meet community
needs, and a plan to match such resources to
the needs.
The planning for this document starts with
the Council retreat in early spring. At that
retreat Council discusses many issues
including program priorities and capital
project prioritization and timing.
The City Manager's budget is presented to
the full Council during several work
sessions in October. Two public hearings
are then scheduled for November with a
final public hearing and adoption date in
early December.
Related to this process is the City's Capital
Facilities Plan as required by the Growth
Management Act (GMA). This plan has
significant requirements in the area of
facilities planning and capital improvement
financing.
The GMA is to ensure that those public
facilities and services necessary to support
-3-
General Fund Revenues
development shall be adequate to serve the
development at the time the development is
available for occupancy and use, without
decreasing current levels of service below
locally established minimum standards.
The Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is
segregated into major categories: General
Governmental, Transportation, Water,
Sewer, Storm and Surface Water and Parks
and Recreation.
The City adopted a Capital Facilities Plan as
part of the Comprehensive Plan.
Subsequent Council policy decisions and
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan
require periodic review and amendments to
the Capital Facilities Plan.
This budget document is developed in a
manner to study and review the direction of
the City of Port Townsend. This document
outlines the manner in which financial
resources will be managed during the fiscal
year.
The course the city is taking can be changed
through the allocation of financial resources.
The major groups who participate in the
budget process are the City Manager, City
Council, department directors, city
committees and commissions, city staff, and
interested Port Townsend citizens.
A budget document is read by a diverse
group of persons. The budget must describe
clearly and completely the nature and scope
of policies, plans and programs for the year.
It must communicate this information at
different levels and for different purposes.
One of the most important functions of the
budget document is to describe future
implications and relationships of policies,
plans and programs to members of the
public. The budget document is an
opportunity for the public to acquire
background information necessary to
provide meaningful comment and feedback
to members of the City Council and City
staff during the year.
The City of Port Townsend's budget process
is designed to provide essential structure for
the financial planning, control, and
evaluation process of government,
presenting a forecast of expected resources
and the purposeful distribution of those
revenues.
Once adopted, the budget is a formal
expression of public policy on the City's
objectives and priorities and on how
resources will be provided to meet those
objectives.
State law establishes the budget process and
time limits. The calendar for the City of
Port Townsend's budget can be found at the
end of this document in the addendum
section.
The financial aspects of the budget are
monitored in regular monthly reports issued
by the Finance Department comparing
actual expenditures and revenues with the
budget.
The budget can be changed (amended) at
any time after it is adopted by the City
Council passing another ordinance in an
open public meeting. Normally, the budget
is reviewed during the year to identify any
adjustments.
In the City of Port Townsend, policy begins
with general direction provided by the City
Council. The City budget process serves the
function of creating a framework to
implement the policies set forth by that body
to administer the City organization and
deliver the various services to the
community.
'a
General Fund Revenues
Under the general guidance of the City
Manager, department directors have primary
responsibility for formulating budget
proposals in line with Council priorities.
Budget policy begins with an understanding
of the needs and issues important to the
community that the government serves.
General goals and priorities are identified in
order to apply the available financial
resources of the City for specific funding
proposals. Previous budgets are considered
in this process, thereby providing continuity
with previous programming.
The Finance Department is responsible for
coordinating all aspects of the budget
process on behalf of the City Manager,
analyzing department budget information,
preparing budget revenue estimates,
assembling the budget document and
providing overview financial monitoring and
reporting once the budget is adopted.
The Finance Department assists in
identifying budget problems, formulating
solutions and alternatives, and implementing
corrective action approved by the City
Manager.
The City uses a line -item budget
development approach and uses that level of
detail as a backbone to the actual budget
document. However, the budget is formally
adopted at the fund level.
This budget seeks to achieve these four
interrelated functions:
A Policy Tool
The City's budget process is conducted in a
manner that allows City's officials an
opportunity to comprehensively review the
direction of the City and to redirect its
activities by means of the allocation of
financial resources. On this basis, the
budget sets policy for the following year.
This budget also facilitates the evaluation of
City programs by providing a means to
measurably examine the financial activities
of the City departments over time.
An Operations Guide
This budget provides financial control by
setting forth both legislative and
administrative guidance to city employees
regarding the character and scope of their
activities. This direction is set forth in both
summary and detail form in the various
products of the budget process.
A Financial Plan
The budget outlines the manner in which the
financial resources of the City will be
managed during the budget period. This
allocation of resources is based on
understanding both the current year's needs
and a long -term view of the development of
the City's programs. The budget takes into
account unforeseen contingencies and
provides for the need for periodic
adjustments.
As a Communication Medium
This budget provides management
information as a comprehensive tabulation
of information regarding both the character
and scope of City activity. No budget can
be effective unless it communicates. Since
this budget has a diverse audience, it seeks
to communicate at several levels and for
several purposes. It seeks to communicate
clear policy at a usable level of detail to City
employees, to communicate significant
policy issues and options in a form that can
be acted on by officials, and to communicate
the plans of the City to its constituents in a
manner which affords them an opportunity
-5-
General Fund Revenues
to provide meaningful comments to the
elected officials.
BUDGET SUMMARY
While the budget planning and adoption
process is discussed above, there are many
issues that are important to discuss in order
to understand the dynamics of this
document. For financial and accounting
purposes, municipal operations are divided
into two broad categories: general
governmental and proprietary.
Budgets are established for all funds. There
are 28 budgeted funds in the City of Port
Townsend and they are classified within
seven basic fund groups, as described below
General governmental funds include three
funds. The first is the General Fund which
provides basic City services such as city
administration, legislative, legal, personnel
services, risk management, financial
services, public safety, street maintenance,
planning, building, zoning, facilities, and
associated support functions. The resources
to support these activities are primarily taxes
and user fees.
Special Revenue funds account for the
proceeds of specific revenue sources other
than special assessments, expendable trusts
or major capital projects. These revenues
finance particular activities or functions as
required by law or administrative
regulations.
Debt Service funds accumulate resources
and account for the payment of principal and
interest for the City's general obligation
long -term debt and special assessment debt.
The City pledges its full faith and credit for
payment of these obligations.
• Resources for redemption of
Council- approved (limited) issues
are usually from the general property
tax levy.
• Resources for payment of special
assessment debt are from
assessments levied against benefited
properties.
• Resources for redemption of revenue
bonds are from the sales of the goods
and services.
The debt service funds are the General
Obligation Debt Service Funds, and the
Water /Sewer Revenue Bond Funds.
Capital Project funds account for the
acquisition or development of major capital
facilities, except those projects financed by
the enterprise funds. Sources of revenue for
these funds can include bond proceeds,
federal /state grants, general property taxes,
interest earnings, and transfers from other
funds.
Enterprise funds are established for
government activities that are financed and
operate in a manner similar to private
business. The user primarily finances costs
of providing services to the general public.
There are two types of enterprise funds.
They are the Water /Sewer Fund and Storm
and Surface Water Fund.
Internal Service funds account for the
financing of goods and services provided by
one department or agency to other
departments or agencies in the City. The
City's internal service fund is the Equipment
Rental and Reserve Fund.
Fiduciary funds include Pension Trust,
Expendable Trust, and Agency Funds,
which are used to account for assets held by
the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent
for individuals, private organizations, other
governmental units, and /or other funds. The
City has five of these funds, which are:

• Transmission Line Replacement
• Treasurer's Agency
• Deferred Compensation- Kemper
• Deferred Compensation -ICMA
• Memorial
• Golf Course
• Northwest Maritime Center
GENERAL FUND REVENUES
The City's General Fund receives the
greatest amount of its operating revenues
from a variety of taxes. State law limits
those taxes.
Property Tax
Property taxes are collected on 100 percent
of assessed valuation (A.V.) as determined
by the Jefferson County Assessor's Office in
accordance with state law. The maximum
that the City can levy is 101 percent of the
highest of the three (3) most recent years'
levies, plus the impact of new construction
at the previous year's levy rate, plus
miscellaneous adjustments.
The new construction assessed value amount
for 2006 is estimated at $36,000,000 as
compared to $23,800,000 in 2005. State
statutes do not allow the city to levy more
than $3.60 per $1,000 of assessed valuation.
The City of Port Townsend is well below the
statutory limit, and it is at $1.40 per $1,000
of assessed valuation for 2006.
In November 2001, the voters of the state
approved Initiative 747, which sets limits for
annual increases in property taxes to 1%
without a vote of the people.
In November of 1997, the voters of the state
approved Referendum 47, which sets limits
in three areas for property tax:
1) The State tax levy increases now
annually limited to the lesser of the
I.P.D. inflation factor or 1 %;
2) The 1997 temporary tax reduction
was made permanent; and
3) A new limit factor for the local
jurisdictions on property tax.
As previously stated cities still are limited to
101 %, but now there is an inflation factor
called an implicit price deflator (IPD). The
IPD for personal consumption in the United
States is published for the most recent
twelve -month period by the Bureau of
Economic Analysis of the Federal
Department of Commerce in September of
the year before the taxes are due. Following
this definition the percentage change in the
IPD has been calculated at 2.778 percent for
2006.
As the referendum provides, cities may go
above the IPD to any percentage up to the
101 percent. In order to levy the full 101
percent, a substantial need must exist, and a
resolution or ordinance must be adopted by
a supermaj ority of the City Council. Those
provisions of Referendum 47 do not limit
Cities under a population of 10,000.

Retail Sales & Use Tax
Retail Sales and Use Tax consists of two
city portions. The first portion is a local tax
of one -half of one percent less fifteen
percent paid to the county. The second
portion includes an "optional" one -half of
one percent, less the fifteen percent county
share. This provides a combined city
portion of 0.0085 from each dollar of local
sales. This was authorized by the State
Legislature in 1982 and further authorized
by the city and provided for in Port
Townsend's Municipal Code Title 3,
Chapter 3.12. The sales tax was adopted in
1935 as an integral part of the Washington
State Revenue Act.
The state's portion of the sales tax history is:

State Shared Revenues
addiction program.
State shared revenues are derived from
gasoline taxes, liquor receipts (profits and
excise taxes) and motor vehicle fuel excise
taxes. These taxes are collected by the State
of Washington and shared with local
governments based on population. The
Office of Financial Management determines
the population figures used for the
distribution of state - shared revenues. Port
Townsend's 2006 estimated population is
8,745.
Port Townsend should be prepared for lower
per capita distributions of state - shared
revenues in the future.
Liquor Receipts Profits and Taxes
Cities and towns are responsible for the
policing of liquor establishments located
within their limits but are precluded from
taxing them because of the state liquor
monopoly. The law provides that a share of
the state - collected profits and taxes be
returned to cities and towns to help defray
the cost of policing liquor establishments.
Liquor Board profits consist of the
difference between revenue from state liquor
stores, taxes on wine and beer, license fees,
penalties and forfeitures and board
expenditures. Except for monies from
administrative fees and those attributable to
Utility Tax
The City imposes a utility tax on
telecommunications, electricity, natural gas,
and solid waste at the rate of 6 percent.
Leasehold Excise Tax
Most leases of publicly -owned real and
personal property in the state are subject to a
leasehold excise tax in lieu of a property tax.
The State Legislature in 1976 established a
12 percent tax to be levied on the contract
rent.
In 1987, the State Legislature increased the
rate to a total of 12.84 percent. Cities and
counties may collectively levy up to 6
percent of the 12.84 percent. The maximum
rate for cities is 4 percent and, if a city levies
this amount, the county can levy only 2
percent on leaseholds in the incorporated
areas. If a city chooses not to levy its
maximum, the county captures the
difference to the 6 percent lid.
The City of Port Townsend imposes the
leasehold excise tax at the rate of 4 percent.
Doing so does not affect the rate that
leaseholders must pay; it simply determines
who receives the money.
Q
General Fund Revenues
Traffic and Parking Fines
Although the State Supreme Court
establishes the schedule of fines for traffic
infractions in the Washington Model Traffic
Ordinance RCW Chapter 46.90, cities and
towns share in the revenue for infractions
committed within their boundaries. After
the fines are collected, 35 percent is sent to
the state. The remainder is deposited in the
General Fund to pay for law enforcement
services.
Licenses, Permits & Fees
The City collects license fees, building
permit fees and miscellaneous user fees.

Legislative
The City Council is the legislative branch of
the city government within the City of Port
Townsend. Policy- making is one of the
most important responsibilities of the City
Council.
The general powers and duties of this body
are provided in the Revised Code of
Washington Chapters 35A.11 & 35.21.
As a comprehensive policy setting directive,
the Council develops various master plans.
These plans are the foundation for
developing the annual final budget. These
plans are also opportunities for citizens to
have direct input into the major policies
affecting the community. City master plans
include the GMA Comprehensive Plan,
Water Master Plan, Transportation Master
Plan, Storm Master Plan (draft), Parks &
Recreation Master Plan,
Non - motorized Plan, Arterial Street Master
Plan, Port Townsend Shoreline Master Plan,
Wastewater Collection Plan, Bio Compost
Marketing Plan, Library Development Plan,
and the Capital Facilities Plan.
In developing the master plans, the City
Council holds public hearings to allow
public input and testimony. This represents
hundreds and hundreds of hours of
testimony and debate. These master plans
are comprehensive and provide fiscal guidance both
in the annual budget and the long -term strategic
budget development.
After master plans are adopted by the Council, the
City's department directors develop annual budget
requests to implement the master plans. Each
director develops budget requests for the City
Manager to review. This process results in the City
Council debate and passage of the final annual
budget in December each year.
In the year 2000, the City Council adopted three
budget policies to guide the City toward financial
stability.
Budget Policy #1 - requires the City to maintain a
General Fund, beginning fund balance, between 5%
to 8% of available General Fund revenues.
Budget Policy #2 - requires the City to set aside in a
General Fund Council Reserve, 1% of available
General Fund revenues.
Budget Policy #3 - requires the City to set aside in a
Contingency Fund 2% of estimated General Fund
revenues.
The City Manager established a process to achieve
the Council budget policies. This budget has
achieved those goals.

Facilities Maintenance Department
Mission Statement: The mission of the Facilities Maintenance Division is to operate and
maintain the city owned buildings and public restrooms. This work is accomplished
primarily through a janitorial contract that is administered by the Water Department
Operations Manager and supervised by the Fleet/Facilities Crew Chief. The Crew Chief
also performs or coordinates minor building repairs and modifications.
In 2006, we will continue efforts to expand deferred maintenance of existing facilities to
include City Hall, Pope Marine Building, and Parks facilities. We will also be renewing
the janitorial contract for City -owned facilities.

Beginning in year 2000, the City Council established a financial policy requiring a reserve in the General
Fund equal to 1 % of General Fund revenues. The reserve may only be spent by Council authorization
through a supplemental budget.

Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue fund types are used to account
for the proceeds of specific revenue sources
(other than expendable trusts or for major
capital projects) that are legally restricted to
expenditure for specified purposes. The city
presently has eleven special revenue funds:
• Drug Enforcement and Education Fund
• Contingency Fund
• Fire Equipment Joint Maintenance Fund
• Community Development Block Grant
Fund
• Lodging Tax Fund
• System Development Charge Fund
• Library Fund
• Fire and EMS Services Fund
• Public Works Administration and
Engineering Fund
• Community Services Fund
• Street Fund
Drug Enforcement & Education Fund
The Drug Enforcement and Education Fund
receives all monies and proceeds of the sale of
property seized during drug investigations and
forfeitures pursuant to RCW 69.50.050.
The monies received shall be used solely for
the purposes of drug enforcement, drug
awareness education, and the purchase, lease
and maintenance of equipment and other items
necessary for drug enforcement. There is no
staff assigned to operate this fund. It is used
primarily to account for earmarked monies.
Contingency Fund
Beginning in 2000, the City Council
authorized a contingency fund to accumulate
resources from the general property tax levy
for future unforeseen needs and emergencies.
The policy adopted by the City Council seeks
to set aside up to 2% of General Fund
revenues as a contingency reserve. This
reserve may only be used by an appropriation
of the City Council. State law (RCW
35A.33.145) authorizes this fund and limits the
reserve level to a maximum of $ 0.375 per
thousand dollars of assessed valuation of
property within the city. There are no staff
assigned to operate this fund. It is used
primarily to account for earmarked monies.
Community Development Block Grant
Fund
This fund accounts for the federal community
development block grant (CDBG) program
that provided federal aid to stimulate local
development. The CDBG program provided
housing and economic development grants.
The federal program has long since closed, but
loan repayments are deposited into this fund
and become program income to the program in
accordance with federal regulations. This
process, in effect, recycles the original federal
grant on a continual basis enabling other
qualified applicants to have access to the
federal program.
Lodging Tax Fund
A lodging tax is imposed upon
recommendation of the city's Lodging Tax
Advisory Committee, in accordance with Port
Townsend Municipal Code Title 3, Chapter
3.20.
All such taxes collected in this fund are for the
purpose of paying all or part of the cost of
tourism promotion, acquisition of tourism,
related facilities, operation and maintenance of
tourism, and for such other purposes as
authorized in RCW Chapter 67.28.
Lodging tax funds may be used to pay for any
engineering, planning, financial, legal and
professional services incident to the
development and operation of tourism - related
facilities, to secure
the payment of all or any portion of general
-43 -
Special Revenue Funds
obligation bonds or revenue bonds issued for
such purpose as specified.
The sole source of revenue is the lodging tax
This tax is derived by taking 2 percent of the
state's 6.5 percent sales tax and rebating it
back to the community for local programs to
promote and accommodate tourism.
On October 5, 1998, the City Council passed
Ordinance 2663 authorizing an imposition of
an additional "special" 2% excise tax. This
special 2% excise tax was effective starting
February 1, 1999. This results in a combined
lodging tax of 4 %.
Fire Equipment Joint Maintenance Fund
On August 8, 2000, the city entered into an
interlocal agreement with various Jefferson
County Fire Districts to operate and maintain a
self - contained breathing air filling compressor
and appurtenances. This agreement provides
for the collection of fees from all parties to
support the operating costs of this unit in a
segregated fund.
System Development Charge Fund
The System Development Charge (SDC) Fund
was created as authorized by Ordinance 2666
in November 1998. Pursuant to Chapter 13.03
PTMC, the City has determined that it is
reasonable and in the public interest to collect
water and wastewater system development
charges for the purpose of recovering a
proportionate share of the actual and projected
costs of water and wastewater facilities from
those properties which, as a part of their
development and use, create the need for those
facilities. The SDC Fund was created to
account for system development charges
assessed by the city's water and wastewater
utilities to property developers.
Also, this fund is used to account for deferrals
of system development charges for selected
low - income housing projects. Those projects
selected for deferral of SDC's shall be
accounted for in a special account as
authorized by the City Council. Authorized
deferrals of SDC charges shall be paid by a
contribution from the city's General Fund with
a transfer of monies to the System
Development Low - Income Deferral Account.
As cities nationwide face increased costs for
expanding and upgrading water and
wastewater (sewer) facilities, they are looking
for ways to charge the costs equitably among
the utility customers who are receiving the
benefits. Port Townsend is one of many cities
challenged with funding the most costly
capital projects in its history. State and federal
regulations are forcing the city to construct
expensive improvements to existing water and
wastewater systems.
When new facilities are constructed, excess
capacity for future growth must be included to
avoid frequent costly future expansions.
Historically, as new growth occurs, the
existing ratepayers have subsidized these
expenses. Now, as in many other
communities, the City of Port Townsend has
decided to more fairly charge those who are
benefiting directly, by establishing System
Development Charges, or SDCs. With SCDs
(also known as Impact Fees for certain
services), those responsible for growth pay a
more realistic proportion of the costs
associated with growth.
State law requires that SDCs collected be
placed in a dedicated fund for use only on
construction projects that are being oversized
to accommodate growth. The law further
states that all money be spent within five
years. If it is not spent on appropriate projects
within this time frame, the city is required to
refund the money collected. Collections can
Special Revenue Funds
also be used to pay for extra capacity in
already constructed facilities. In essence, they
help pay the debt service for those projects.
In Port Townsend's case, water SDC revenue
is being spent on pipeline improvements,
including property purchases, which have been
mandated by the State Department of Health.
Wastewater SDC revenue will pay for the final
stages of the wastewater treatment plant
project. These fees will pay only for the
excess capacity portion, offsetting debt service
payments for these projects.
State law authorizes establishment of SDCs for
water, wastewater and storm drainage. Impact
Fees are also allowed for streets, parks, fire
and schools.
The citizen Impact Fee Advisory Committee
originally recommended adoption of
SDC /Impact Fees for all of these services
except fire. Currently, only the water and
wastewater recommendations have been
adopted.
Library Fund
Starting in 2005, a new accounting fund was
created for the operation of the city library
with enabling city Ordinance No. 2889. In
prior years the library was part of the city's
general fund. Detail budget information
follows.
Fire and EMS Services Fund
Starting in 2005, a new accounting fund was
created for the operation of the city fire
department with enabling city Ordinance No.
2889. In prior years the fire department was
part of the city's general fund. Detail budget
information follows.
Public Works and Engineering Fund
Starting in 2005, a new accounting fund was
created for the operation of the city public
works administration and engineering services
with enabling city Ordinance No. 2889. In
prior years the public works administration
and engineering services was part of the city's
general fund. Detail budget information
follows.
Community Services Fund
Starting in 2005, a new accounting fund was
created for the operation of city community
services (parks maintenance, pool, recreation,
and domestic violence programs) with
enabling city Ordinance No. 2889. In prior
years these services were included in various
city general fund departments. This new fund
includes funding for other city services
contract providers. They include Domestic
Violence for $30,000, Boiler Room for $4,000,
UGN for $4,555, Main Street for $30,000, and
Arts Commission for $11,050. Detail budget
information follows.
Street Fund
The street fund is responsible for the
administration and maintenance of the city's
transportation network, which includes
approximately 74 miles of public roadways
together with roadside improvements,
sidewalks, bicycle facilities, signalization and
illumination systems. The duties associated
with this responsibility include:
• Street sweeping
• Roadside vegetation management and
mowing
• Landscape maintenance
• Pavement and shoulder repair
• Pavement markings
• Snow and ice control
• Traffic signal and illumination system
maintenance
• Signage
• Traffic counts
-45-
Special Revenue Funds
• Transportation planning
• Street tree maintenance
The street fund receives revenues from state
distributions of motor vehicle fuel taxes for
two programs: city streets and arterial streets.
State law restricts these revenues:
• City streets: to be used for any street
purposes (RCW 46.68.070.110,
47.24.040 and 35.76 RCW)
• Arterial streets: to be used for
highways and arterial streets. For
cities with populations less than
15,000, cities may use these monies for
the maintenance of arterial highways
and city streets (RCW 46.68.070).
The city consolidated its Arterial Street Fund
into the Street Fund in 2000 as allowed by
RCW 46.68.070 for cities with populations
less than 15,000.
These state distributions are not sufficient
resources to maintain city streets. The city's
general fund provides subsidies in order for
the street fund to operate. Detail budget
information follows.

MAJOR 2006 PRIORITIES AND INITIATIVES
In 2006, the Port Townsend Public Library will be
focused on the main priorities of its strategic plan:
facility improvement, collection developments, and
outreach through programs and services. In
conjunction with the library Facilities Task Force, we
will begin the process to select an architect to
conduct an assessment study to determine the best
options for a future major renovation of the building.
Rearrangement of the non - fiction and popular
materials rooms will provide for improved space for
patrons, including teens, as well as computers and
collections. New and improved internal and external
signage will assist patrons in their use of the library
and its resources.
The audio book, large print, and young adult
collections continue to be a special focus of
collection development as public usage of these
materials rises. Along with the purchase of new
materials, the ongoing refinement of all collections
continues and the suitability of off site storage as a
viable option for housing low circulation materials
will be reassessed.
Work continues to strengthen existing programs and
partnerships and identify new ones in response to
community needs and interests. Major program
initiatives include a Community Read, Summer
Reading, author series, and a variety of specialized
events for targeted audiences and underserved groups
including seniors, teens, and infants. In addition, a
program to provide service to the homebound is
under development and should be ready to launch in
the spring.
The Library Foundation's board recruitment process
will be completed with the addition of six new board
members. Following the Board's internal
reorganization, the Foundation will be ready to work
closely with the library director and city
administration to draft a development plan to support
library fundraising priorities. The Friends of the
Library's fund- raising efforts continue to support
public programs and needs outside the library's
regular operating budget. The need for more library
volunteers to provide assistance with routine
operations will be addressed with a more proactive
recruitment process.
The current staffing arrangement is under review and
internal adjustments are under consideration in
response to changing library priorities. Staff will be
utilizing appropriate resources to gain a better
understanding of the composition and needs of Port
Townsend's citizens in order to develop programs
and services which will match a true community
profile. The year 2006 will be an exciting year for
change and transition as the library works through the
initiatives of its strategic plan to connect with all
residents of the City of Port Townsend.

Street Fund
Street Fund
(In conjunction with Wastewater /Storm)
Function: The Street Fund provides the resources
for the Street Operating Division of Public Works.
The Street Division is responsible for the
maintenance of streets, gravel roads, alleys,
sidewalks and shoulders within the City of Port
Townsend. This includes street sweeping,
vegetation management, tree removal, grading,
pavement and shoulder repair, snow and ice
removal, pavement markings and signage.
The Arterial Street Fund is incorporated within the
Street Fund for the construction, improvement, chip
sealing, overlaying with asphalt, seal coating and
repair of arterial highway and city streets.
Goals and Objectives
Goal: Evaluate, identify and prioritize failed
road surfaces for reconstruction or overlay.
Develop a pavement management program using
the City's GIS system to identify and map locations
of failing roads to create a priority list for repairs.
Goal: Continue to work on overlaying the
streets and the surfacing of gravel roads
throughout the City of Port Townsend.
Identify streets that need to be resurfaced with the
money that is appropriated for making these
improvements.
Reduce the number of miles of gravel roads that is
needed to be maintained by resurfacing them using
either chip sealing or asphalt. This will reduce our
maintenance cost and the dust concerns that are
raised by the residents on these types of roads.
Goal: Continue to work on replacing problem
sidewalks.
Identify and replace critical sidewalks with the
money appropriated for doing this through the CIP
program.
Goal: Implement the Streets Capital
Improvement Program.
2005 Accomplishments
Continued to install hot tape bicycle symbols and
arrows on streets that were previously painted to
reduce the labor hours to maintain the paint.
Continued making spot repairs to the downtown
sidewalks to prevent tripping hazards. Spent
approximately 40 hours doing this work.
Chip sealed 0.93 miles of gravel streets utilizing
the Jefferson County Road Department to do the
work with the City forces for the preparation of the
streets done.
Rebuilt 12th Street between SR20 and Haines Place
behind Henery Hardware. This work included
stormwater, curbs, grinding and regrading of this
section and then it was repaved with 2.5 inches of
hot mix asphalt.
Did dig -outs on Jackman Street. Two on the North
side and two on the South side of 49th Street to
repair failing sections of the roadway.
Did dig -outs on Walker Street between Lawrence
and Garfield. There was two sections that had
failed in the roadway because of the poor base
material and heavy transit bus activity on the
roadway.
Worked on improving pathways along Landes
Street between 12th St. and 19th St. Also along 12th
St. between Holcomb and Landes by grading of the
shoulders and adding black rock materials to
provide a good walkway.

General Government Debt Service
The city issues long term debt
instruments to finance large capital
projects. These are typically for items
that have long useful lives for which this
financing method will reduce the annual
debt service burden on its citizens.
Since local governments are permitted to
issue tax - exempt bonds, this financing
option helps reduce the cost of
borrowing.
State law limits general obligation bond
issues. These bonds may be issued in
two different methods: voted bonds and
non -voted bonds. Washington State law
limits the voted bond indebtedness to
two and one -half percent (2.5 %),
including non -voted debt, of the city's
current assessed valuation (A.V.).
Cities are also authorized to issue
general obligation bonds for an
additional two and one -half percent
(2.5 %) of the city's current assessed
valuation for parks and open spaces and
utilities. Both of these bond issues must
be voted and approved by a 60 percent
majority vote of the registered voters.
Bonds of this type are unlimited tax
obligations of the city, and are backed by
the full faith and credit of the city. The
city presently has no voted bonds
outstanding.
Non -voted bonds are called
"Councilmanic" bonds and are limited
by state law to one and one -half percent
(1.5 %) of the city's current assessed
valuation. The city currently has four
general government Councilmanic bonds
outstanding totaling $6,628,393, and one
grant anticipation note totaling
$1,625,000.
In 1991, the city issued $250,000 limited
tax general obligation bonds for the
Balloon Hanger at Fort Worden for
performing arts as authorized by
Ordinance 2235. The source of monies
to repay the debt service for this issue
comes from an annual operating transfer
from the city's Lodging Tax Fund,
which collects the lodging tax.
In 1999, the city issued $645,000 limited
tax general obligation bonds for various
capital improvements. These capital
items include: library improvements,
police station improvements, fire station
improvements, city hall facilities and
Port Townsend Marine Science Center
improvements as authorized by
Ordinance 2709. The source of monies
to repay the debt service for this issue
comes from a portion of the city's
general property tax levy and annual
operating transfers from the Lodging
Tax Fund.
In 2002, the city issued $3,465,000
limited tax general obligation bonds for
the construction of the city hall annex
building and remodel of old city hall as
authorized by Ordinance 2812. The
source of monies to repay the debt
service for this issue comes from a
portion of the city's general property tax
levy and real estate excise tax revenues.
In 2003, the city issued $2,390,000 in
limited tax general obligation bonds for
the construction of the city hall annex
building and remodel of old city hall as
authorized by Ordinance 2844. The
source of monies to repay the debt
service for this issue comes from a
portion of the city's general property tax
levy and real estate excise tax revenues.

Utility Debt Service
The city's utility funds may also issue
long -term debt instruments to finance
large capital projects. These are
typically for utility plant improvements
that have long useful lives for which this
financing method will reduce the annual
debt service burden on its utility
customers (ratepayers). Since local
governments are permitted to issue tax -
exempt bonds, this financing option
helps reduce the cost of borrowing.
These debt instruments are usually
issued as revenue bonds.
The source of monies to repay the
revenue bond debt service comes from
utility revenues, not property taxes.
In addition to revenue bonds, cities may
apply to Washington State for low
interest and /or interest -free loans. This
is a competitive process that involves
city staff presenting a proposal to
Olympia for an application for Public
Works Trust Fund Loans and State
Revolving Fund Loans. Because of the
low interest and interest -free loans, this
method of financing public works is very
beneficial to the city's ratepayers. The
application process is comprehensive
and competitive. Those cities scoring
highest in the State's evaluation process
receive the favorable loans. The more
significant qualifying criteria requires
cities to:
• Impose the 1/4 of one percent real
estate excise tax
• Develop a long -term plan for
financing public work needs

The city has received four Public Works
Trust Fund (PWTF) low interest State
loans. One is a PWTF 1998 loan for
water projects totaling $2,138,740, for
20 years at an interest rate of 1 %.
Another is a PWTF 1999 loan for sewer
projects totaling $1,593,739 at an
interest rate of 1 %. The third is a
PWTF 2001 loan for sewer outfall
totaling $1,153,350 at an interest rate of
0.5% for 19 years. A fourth is a PWTF
2002 loan for Morgan Hill water system
upgrades totaling $1,242,743, for 20
years at an interest rate of 0.5 %.
There are also two no- interest or low
interest State Revolving Fund (SRF)
loans. One is for the wastewater master
plan for $182,620, and the second is for
a wastewater conveyance system totaling
$1,000,000, for 19.5 years at 1.5 %.
The city sold its Tri -Area Water System
in December 2001 to the Public Utility
District #1 (PUD). As part of that
transaction, certain revenue bonds were
defeased, and certain state loans were
transferred to the PUD. The city
rescheduled the state loans when the
amounts were finalized.
In 1978, the city utility issued $395,000
revenue bonds for capital improvements
Utility Debt Service
to the utility as authorized by Ordinance
1798. The source of monies to repay the
debt service for this issue comes from
the revenues of the utility.
In 1992, the city utility issued
$6,820,000 revenue bonds for capital
improvements to the utility as authorized
by Ordinance 2305. The source of
monies to repay the debt service for this
issue comes from the revenues of the
utility. Subsequently, the city refunded
$4,350,000, of these bonds with a 1998
revenue refunding bond issue to reduce
the total debt obligation with new low
interest bonds.
State Loans Total
In 1998, the city utility issued
$4,950,000 revenue refunding bonds and
$1,000,000 revenue bonds for capital
improvements to the utility as authorized
by Ordinance 2625. The revenue
refunding bonds refinanced $115,000 of
the remaining 1978 - Series B revenue
bonds and most of the 1992 revenue
bonds. The refunding issued produced
significant savings in future interest
costs to the utility ratepayers. The source
of monies to repay the debt service for
this issue comes from the revenues of
the utility.

Capital Project Funds
Capital project funds are used to account
for financial resources to be used for the
acquisition or construction of major
capital facilities (other than those
financed by proprietary funds and trust
funds). The City has one non - utility
capital project fund called the Capital
Improvement Fund, and one utility
capital improvement fund called the
Utility Construction Fund.
Capital Improvement Fund
Revenues come from several different
sources for this fund. The real estate
excise tax, bond proceeds, and fund
transfers are major sources of revenue
for this fund. Some transfers from other
funds like the General Fund and Street
Fund. Some are revenues deposited into
this fund from grants via state and
federal sources, "fee in lieu of,"
"mitigation fees," "impact fees" for
applicable projects, and interest income.
The real estate excise tax (R.E.E.T.) that
is levied by the State is deposited into
this fund. This tax is levied on all sales
of real estate, measured by the full
selling price, including any liens,
mortgages and other debts given to
secure the purchase.
The state levies this tax at the rate of
1.28 percent. A locally imposed tax is
also authorized. In 1990 and 1992, the
State Legislature made a number of
changes in the locally imposed R.E.E.T.
As Port Townsend is required to plan
under the Growth Management Act
(GMA), new language was enacted
regarding the first quarter (.025) percent
of the tax. Based on the GMA, Port
Townsend was given the option of
levying a second quarter percent to help
defray the costs of implementing the
Growth Management Act. The city
receives the second quarter of R.E.E.T,
which results in a combined rate of
1.78 %.
The first quarter percent of the R.E.E.T.
receipts must be spent solely on capital
projects that are listed in the Capital
Facilities Plan element of the
comprehensive plan. Capital projects
are defined as:
"Those public works projects of a local
government for planning acquisition,
construction, reconstruction, repair,
replacement, rehabilitation, or
improvement of streets, roads, highways,
sidewalks, street and road lighting
systems; traffic signals; bridges;
domestic water systems; storm and parks
recreational facilities; fire /protection
facilities; trails; libraries; administrative
judicial facilities; and river and /or
waterway flood control."
The second quarter percent of the
R.E.E.T. that is levied and is part of this
budget can only be levied by those cities
that are required to plan under GMA. In
this quarter percent of R.E.E.T. "capital
projects" mean:
"Those public works projects of a local
government for planning acquisition,
construction, reconstruction, repair,
replacement, rehabilitation, or
improvement of streets, roads, highways,
sidewalks, street and road lighting
systems; traffic signals; bridges;
domestic water systems; storm and
sanitary sewer systems and planning,
construction, reconstruction, repair,
rehabilitation, or improvement to parks."
When other operating divisions or funds
expend monies for qualified projects,
-71-
Capital Project Funds
transfers -out of the R.E.E.T. Fund are
used to reimburse the operating division.
The interest income is based on prudent
investing with the inclusion of
construction project scheduling and cash
flow analysis.
The last major capital project accounted
for in this fund was the Union Wharf
project. Implementation of project cost
accounting systems in 1998 has made it
possible to individually track capital
projects in this fund.
Citv Hall Annex Construction Fund
In 2003, a new fund was established to
account for all revenues and
expenditures for the construction of the
city hall annex and the remodeling of old
city hall. Bond proceeds received for
city construction projects are deposited
into this fund. Also, any grants obtained
for city hall projects will be accounted
for in this fund.
City Fire Station Construction Fund
In 2003, the city received a grant award
from Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) for replacement of the
city fire station. To fund the
construction costs for this project the
city issued grant anticipation notes
totaling $1,625,000, and a portion of
limited tax general obligation bonds,
2003.
Utility Construction Fund
The Utility Construction Fund is a
capital project fund restricted to
expenditures for approved utility
improvements. The interest earnings on
this fund are also restricted to the
approved utility improvement.
