CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND MISSION STATEMENT Champion aspirations for a thriving community as envisioned in our Comprehensive Plan THE 2025 CITY MANAGER BUDGET Message from the City Manager: Over the past few years, in preparing the budget for City Council consideration, the City team has transitioned away from the fear and uncertainty of the pandemic, the myopia of simply thinking about the next year ahead, and the somewhat stale, hold -over approach of "this is always how we've done it." If you take the time to review the previous years' budgets — or even just the budget messages from me — you'll see them evolve into something increasingly clear-eyed, strategic, and honest. This year we attempt to keep moving forward in a similar fashion, with a balanced, smart, and forward -thinking budget that reflects our community's values and sets us up for enduring success. Certainly, the team and I continue to be challenged by macroeconomic conditions beyond our control, like escalating costs of materials and labor, or local and regional conditions like seemingly impossible housing affordability. Add to that the discomfort of new or changing state and federal requirements or the accounting realities of keeping funds balanced and appropriately separated, and we're already showing up to this budget race a bit on the back foot. Despite that, we're always up for a challenge and keep a persistent focus on the future of our community. Over time, we believe that, by making tough decisions and sticking together, we can make things fairer and better for everyone. 2025 City Manager Proposed Budget To those ends, we have worked for at least half a year to prepare this budget. It started at a strategic workplan retreat in July with City Council and Department Directors when we honed in on our priorities with an appropriate mix of ambition and reality. Much of that retreat focused on how to balance both the year -on -year operational needs with the longer -term, integrated strategic thinking of the Financial Sustainability Initiative. That initiative grounds us in multi -year approach to fiscal responsibility that's game -changing — so it's perhaps no surprise it won a national award. We then asked each department to provide their list of budget requests that would get those priorities done and worked together to consider "key moves" to continue our multi- year financial sustainability journey. All of this was balanced against 2025 revenue predictions and our policies that require all funds to stay in the black. Many of those items show up in this year's budget. A few examples: • Smart seed funding for facilities repair and replacement. In the 2024 budget, we recognized that we do not plan well for facilities replacement and repair, often scrambling to find money after things inevitably break. We set aside funding to seed a repair/replacement fund to better anticipate and respond to facilities needs. This budget is the second year (of five) for investment into that fund. • Smart seed funding for fleets repair and replacement. The facilities seed funding approach is working, so we are proposing a similar approach for fleets in this year's budget. Similarly, doing so puts fleet repair and replacement on a predictable schedule which means better predictability and financial stability. • Smarter investments. The City takes in and pays out funds every day, but per policy and common sense, we need to ensure that the balance stays positive. Better financial planning means we put our balance to work earning interest, taking advantage of high interest rates and phasing the investments so we still have access to funds in case of unforeseen circumstances. • Fighting off our debt. Debt is an inevitable reality for almost all cities as it helps spread longer -term investments more equitably to those who benefit. Too much debt, however, hinders our abilities to get more accomplished and the City and our community have suffered from the City overleveraging debt. Last year we paid off some debt early, but some of those payments return in 2026. This year's budget gets a jump on those 2026 payments by setting funding aside so we don't overextend this year. We will also, as per above, invest those funds this year while they sit in waiting for next year. • Rainy -day fund. This fund strengthens our approach to preparing for unanticipated downturns and natural disasters to ensure stability of staffing and services. Putting aside one-time revenue like sales tax from major projects seeds the fund and will provide continuity when we need it most. • Bold housing action. The Comprehensive Plan, a major priority for 2025, is crucial to housing availability and affordability — and fundamental to delivering financial sustainability. More residents add character and help spread the costs of 2025 City Manager Proposed Budget services that we all depend on. Plus, more attainable housing helps local businesses — and the City — recruit and retain employees who provide important services, amenities, and local economic development. Perhaps more importantly, many of our residents suffer from the lack of affordable housing options and housing action is key to a more healthy, safe, and equitable community. • Strategic staffing. Our staff size has not grown consistently with the population of residents, and we've been chronically understaffed for many years. Adding positions like a Parks Maintenance Worker, a Water Distribution Maintenance Worker, a Streets Operator, and a Housing Coordinator help us deliver on our core priorities. • Departmental synergy. The budget includes a change in how the City organizes some of our important community services: a combined Community Services Department that incorporates Parks and Facilities teams, the Library department, and adds an arts and culture component to oversee the PT Creative District. The aim is for better, more integrated, more stable delivery of these services to our community alongside a fiscally prudent way of doing so. • Major progress on infrastructure projects. With over $45m of funded infrastructure projects on the books, we continue to move forward with streets, water, sewer, stormwater, parks, facilities and other infrastructure projects that not just catch us up from years of deferred maintenance, but help take us forward in building a stronger, more resilient, and better community for us all. These are but a few ideas captured in the 2025 budget. I encourage you to read through these pages, and I invite you to stay engaged in the budget process. I hope you find it a refreshing change to how we've always done things — perhaps even something that's more clear-eyed, strategic, and honest. Regardless, feel free to reach out to me with your thoughts by email atLgIgure @citygfak.tL , attend one of my coffee conversations each first Friday of the month (see newsletter or the City's Facebook page for details), or tune in to my regular show on KPTZ each Thursday at 12:30. Better yet, I invite you to explore and discover ways you might be able to get involved to help us deliver on our collective aspirations for a healthier, more resilient, more inclusive Port Townsend for us all.

The City of Port Townsend was awarded $2,755,388. The first tranche of this funding, $1,373,493, was received in July 2021. The second half was received in July 2022. The funding has limited eligible uses but, in general, can be used for: • Revenue replacement for the provision of government services to the extent the reduction in revenue was due to the COVID-19 public health emergency. • COVID-19 expenditures or negative economic impacts of COVID-19, including assistance to small businesses, households, industries, and economic recovery. • Premium pay for essential workers. • Investments in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure. Based on updated guidance received from the Federal Treasury in March 2022, the City determined that the best use of the funds received from ARPA is Revenue Replacement. These funds are temporary in nature and non -recurring, so care has been used in allocating these funds in ways that do not add programs that require ongoing financial commitments. In September 2021, the City Council discussed the adoption of three priority pillars when determining the programs/projects these funds would be allocated to. These pillars are 1) support staff, 2) support financial sustainability, and 3) deliver an integrated community backed vision for parks and recreation. Based on these pillars, an array of projects was presented for consideration in both 2021 and 2022. In 2022, 2023, and 2024 all prior projects were reviewed to ensure federal guidance requirements will be met. In addition, all projects were reviewed for funding needs and project timeline. Columns were added to reflect changes each year and a revised 2022-2025 allocation representing the total allocated amount for the project. The funds must be obligated before December 31, 2024, and spent by the end of 2026 as specified in the ARPA Treasury guidelines. The updated project list below totals $2,755,388 and allocates both tranches of fund: 2025 City Manager Proposed Budget AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) FUNDS 2025 BUDGET TOTAL ALLOCATION • $2,765,388 _„_..., 2022 2023.2024 _ Revised 7 Pillar Parr Allocation Allocatbn�� Change2025 Change 2025 Fnancial Sustainabiity & Staff Support , P e 'shades, m S c.suaWa rrok door goalna ...1..,_ 130.(100 $ 130.000 Fbw r . µ ka PikC C&1as%stlOrd3 ,... .... .............w_.

The 2025 strategic workplan is broken down into five major categories: 2025 City Manager Proposed Budget • INVEST IN OUR PEOPLE Build and nurture the capacity of our staff, teams, volunteers, advisory board members, Councilmembers and partnerships and provide them the toolsets, skillsets, and mindsets to achieve more together. • ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITY Build beyond notification and response to more deeply and inclusively engage our community in decisions that affect their lives and livelihoods as well as ground civic dialogue in civility and kindness. • INNOVATE OUR SYSTEMS, STRUCTURES & PROCESSES Set the City and community up for sustained success through process and structure improvements and optimization. • ENVISION OUR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE AND DELIVER OUR PRIORITY INITIATIVES Deliver the 2025-2045 Comprehensive Plan and associated priorities to catalyze a financially, socially, and environmentally sustainable future. • DELIVER THE BASICS Provide consistent critical operations, ongoing statutory responsibilities, and core City functions. Associated funding in the 2025 budget has been given to specific budgeted items. Staff time for many of the projects is a key component to successful completion. A summary of the City's 2025 strategic workplan is included as part of the 2025 Proposed Budget Book. AFFORDABLE HOUSING Affordable Housing is a key priority for 2025 and beyond. The City continues its work to support efforts for affordable and attainable housing in the city and region. The City has made significant contributions to housing in a variety of ways. Some key examples of these contributions are: Implementation of a Sales & Use Tax for Affordable and Supportive Housing (Substitute House Bill 1406) in the 4th quarter of 2020. This tax is a tax credit against the state portion of our City sales tax and did not increase the total amount of retail sales tax. Investment of approximately $21,000 per year, cumulative total of $91,000 through 2024. Fee deferrals for housing providers for certain permit fees and system development charges. Providers include Habitat for Humanity, Peninsula Housing, Olympic Housing Trust, Olympic Community Action Program and Bayside Housing & Services. Total investment from 2011-2024 of $813,610. The City obtained a Connecting Housing through Infrastructure Program grant from Department of Commerce to reimburse City utility enterprise funds with $58,055 for the Olympic Housing Trust Dundee Hill utility connections and System Development Charge fee deferrals. 2025 City Manager Proposed Budget • Investment of approximately $62,000 annually for debt service payment with a total commitment over a 20-year period of $1,324,125 for total principal and interest payments. • The City obtained a grant from the Department of Commerce in 2021 to acquire property that will be earmarked for affordable housing — Grant provided investment of $1,375,000 for the property purchase. Fourteen acres was acquired for the Evans Vista Neighborhood. • The City obtained a grant from the Department of Commerce in 2021 to build utility infrastructure to support affordable housing — Grant provides investment of $1, 700, 000 for the extension of utilities to lower the cost of building affordable housing. • The City obtained a Middle Housing grant from the Department of Commerce in 2023 to develop middle housing policies and codes —Grant provides $50,000. • The City obtained a Paper to Digital grant from the Department of Commerce in 2024 to transition land use permit for housing to digital in an effort to streamline the housing pipeline —Grant provides $60,000. • The City secured $500,000 in 2022 to Master Plan the Evans Vista neighborhood from the Jefferson County American Rescue Plan Act funds and completed a Master Plan and Pro Forma in 2023. In 2025, the City will draft and market a RFP for development with $115,000 general fund investment, along with 1x personnel increase for a housing grants coordinator over a 2-year term. • In March and September 2024, the City initiated an interim parking ordinance to remove minimum parking requirements for new development to reduce over - parking, impervious surfaces, and housing construction costs (Ordinance 3339). The City Council has also made legislative changes related to housing including: • Adopted a package of code updates, The "Tactical Infill Housing Code Update" with $50,000 investment, which included: o Allowing two ADUs per residence, allowed Tiny Houses on Wheels to be used as ADUs. o Eliminated barrier design requirements for cottage housing. o Reducing parking for duplex/triplexlfourplex. Relaxed parking for multifamily in mixed use. o Creating new unit lot subdivision (ULS) tool to enable attached housing to be built on zero lot line and conveyed fee simple. o Allowing ULS for cottage housing, attached fee simple housing, and Tiny House on Wheel Communities. o Allowing employer -provided housing in certain zones to enable housing in zones where it is otherwise prohibited. (Ordinance 3306, 2023) 2025 City Manager Proposed Budget Much of this work was made possible through a 2-year American Rescue Plan Act allocation for a Long -Range Planner and a Professional Services Budget for code amendments. Adopted 2023 Annual Comprehensive Plan Updates (Ordinances 3322 and 3323), which included: o Permitting greater maximum housing density in the R-IV High Density Multifamily, C-I/MU Neighborhood Serving Mixed Use, Center C-II/MU Community Serving Mixed Use Center, and M/C(S) Mixed Light Manufacturing and Commercial Rainier Subarea zones. o Permitting higher building height in the C-I/MU, C-II/MU, and M/C(S) zones. o Specifying that height restrictions apply to habitable space, not rooftop appurtenances such as elevator towers or water towers. The previous height definition had limited the amount of habitable space since developers were constrained by the height of appurtenances that are necessary for taller buildings, such as elevators. o Permitting greater lot coverage in the R-IV, C-I/MU, C-II/MU, and M/C(S) zones. o Permitting a mixture of vertical and horizontal uses in the mixed -use zones. o Replacing Building Frontage with Minimum Commercial Space and Clear Ceiling Height Requirements in the mixed -use zones. This allows more flexibility in how mixed -use spaces are developed while still preserving the ability to rent commercial space. o Altering floor area ratio (FAR) requirements in the mixed -use zones and M/C(S) zone to encourage greater housing density. o Removing minimum lot size requirement in the M/C(S) zone. o Reducing the minimum lot width required for town houses/rowhouses in the M/C(S) zone. o Allowing projects in the R-IV, C-I/MU, C-II/MU, and M/C(S), to substitute one developed on -street parking space for three developed off-street parking spaces. This preserves more land within lots for the development of housing, commercial space, or other non -parking amenities. It also encourages the development of the right of way. The City also worked in partnership with Jefferson County through our Interlocal Agreement to support affordable housing and homeless housing programs. The Housing Fund Board builds on collaborative efforts from the previous Joint Oversight Board and Housing Task Force to create a budget and plan for the use of collective affordable housing funds like the aforementioned Sales and Use Tax as well as other local -authority funding. This effort aims at greater participation by elected officials and greater transparency in the granting process for a more successful and coordinated program. The City continues to explore additional strategies to promote affordable housing. Grant awards totaling $1.13 million for 2024 and 2025 expenditure, with $501,141 estimated revenues for 2025 to support code and policy updates that will enhance and streamline housing. These grants will include considerable community engagement on how to holistically address housing and quality of life in Port Townsend. These grants include the 2025 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update, active transportation and climate resiliency, 2025 City Manager Proposed Budget shoreline periodic update, middle housing, paper to digital permitting, and urban forestry plan and tree ordinance amendment.

The Library Lid Lift component of the levy is budgeted at $1,259,500 and is available to be used for library operations. An excess property tax assessment of approximately $150,000 related to the Mountain View Commons voted tax assessment will be levied to fund 50% of the annual debt service for this voted bond. The City had $908,724 of banked levy capacity related to the annexation of City fire services into the East Jefferson Fire District service area. The City Council adopted a post -annexation policy which allowed the City to levy the banked capacity incrementally over a 3-year period. o In 2020, the City Council adopted post -annexation policy allowing the City to levy the first 33% of the banked capacity. Due to the economic conditions during the 2025 City Manager Proposed Budget pandemic, the Council chose not to levy the banked capacity in 2020 for 2021 taxes. o In 2021, the City Council adopted post -annexation policy allowed the City to levy 66%, or $602,610 of the banked capacity in 2021 for 2022 taxes. o In 2022, the City Council adopted post -annexation policy that would allow the City to levy the remaining 34%, or $306,114 of this banked capacity in 2022 for 2023 taxes. The 2022 and 2023 allocations of banked capacity funds for specific projects will be fully expended by the end of 2025. These projects are included in the Capital Improvement Project section of the budget book. The post -annexation policy restricted the use of these funds from 2020 through 2023 for specific uses. The restricted banked capacity funds from both the 2022 and 2023 property taxes have been set aside for specific purpose as outlined in the post -annexation policy. As per the policy and agreement, funds are unrestricted beginning in 2024. The 2024 budget did not allocate funds specifically for projects and instead was included in the General Fund budget as part of the property tax levy. Increases in general fund expenses and streets have put banked capacity funds to work for the benefit of the community. For example, since 2020, the street fund budget has increased by approximately $600,000. Additional details are provided in the Capital Improvement Projects section of the budget book.

It is difficult to forecast when large commercial properties or large dollar home sales will occur, which can disproportionately distort this revenue source. These funds are restricted to capital improvements or debt service, which reduces the City's reliance on general fund dollars to make up City matching project Funds.

The City imposes an 18% tax on the revenues of the City's storm and surface water, water system and sewer utilities. The City also imposes a 22% utility tax on the revenues of the City's solid waste utility. The 2025 budget is forecasted based on the continuation of the tax. Total public utility tax forecasted for 2025 is $3,078,786 and is intended to support all the general services of the City. Garbage service is required within the City. Garbage utility tax is slated to increase at the monthly service rate increase of approximately 3% (contracted CPI adjustment), or $562,000. Private utility tax rates are 6% of the private utility revenue. The 2024 telephone and electric private utility taxes are estimated to be $928,200. State Shared Revenues are based on distributions that are shared via state revenue assessments. The City receives distributions for liquor profits and tax, criminal justice and marijuana tax distributions, fuel and multi -modal gas taxes, which primarily support Public Safety and Streets. Some of these distributions are population -based with the City's population for 2024 listed by the Office of Financial Management as 10,530. 2025 projected state shared revenue is $412,175. 2025 City Manager Proposed Budget Overhead Coat Recove is projected to decrease by approximately $24,500, or 1.5% in 2025. The decrease is the result of several factors that are inputs in the City's adopted overhead cost recovery model. The allocation model looks back two years to recover overhead costs occurring in 2022 for 2024. The slow growth revenue in 2024 is primarily the result of allocating less overhead to the Streets, Water, Sewer, and Community Funds due to increased property valuations, increasing costs of services and Council agenda bills in those funds. Utilitlo Revenues Water. Sewer and Stormwater are budgeted at the adopted rate increases outlined in the rate tables in Ordinance 3332. The City uses utility rate models provided by FCS Consulting Group to analyze whether our utility rates fully support capital infrastructure and operations of water, sewer, and stormwater. A sewer and stormwater rate study was completed in early 2024 with new utility rates effective April 1, 2024. In 2025, the City is projected to have a total of 5,090 water/sewer accounts with 420, or 7.6%, of those projected to be commercial accounts. Below is a chart demonstrating the growth in commercial and residential water/sewer accounts from 2021 through projected 2025: 2022 2023 2024 2025 6 Residential 9a Cornmercial A rate study was completed in 2024 and the water, sewer, and stormwater rate model projects revenues for 2025 at $4,206,692, $4,915,034, and 1,611,205 respectively. Total water/sewer/stormwater revenue is forecasted to be $12,633,586 as compared to $11,408,201 in 2024, or a 10.7% increase. As noted earlier, this represents scheduled rate increases in ordinance 3332, and 1 % account growth. Raw water sales are made to both the City and the Paper Mill. The OGWS fund expects raw water sales to total $5,204,771 in 2025 to fund the operations of the system and capital sinking fund. 2025 City Manager Proposed Budget Capital Revenges provide substantial funding for general government, street and utility projects through state and federal grants, Public Works Board, and Department of Ecology loan proceeds. A smaller amount of capital funding may be administered with inter -fund loans, transfers, bank lines of credit or other debt financing. Additional details regarding capital projects are provided later in the budget document. Total Revenues budgeted for 2025 are $65,746,488 and include all anticipated revenue for capital funding, operating funding, and fiduciary funds. tithe# hweases $""'?„"+APO 2025 Proposed Revenue by Category $65,746,488 KEY EXPENDITURE ASSUMPTIONS Licenses & Permits, W6,000 Total Expenditures budgeted for 2025 are $68,296,045 and include all operating fund appropriations in addition to water, sewer, general and street capital funds. 2025 City Manager Proposed Budget 2025 Proposed Expenses by Category $68,296,045 Debt Ser 6: Debt Ser 1, Supplies, 1,663,626 Personnel Wages & Benefits represent a significant portion of the City's operating expenses at $14,966,689 or 22% of proposed operating costs. Removing internal transfers and debt service from operating costs, staffing is 31 % of the total. The City continues to balance the need to retain qualified, capable staff by providing fair and competitive wages while also maintaining appropriate service levels. A salary survey was conducted in 2023 which has resulted in an updated compensation policy for non - represented employees. Recruitment of key positions will continue to be a challenge in 2025 due to a competitive labor market and housing affordability and availability. Elected position salary and health benefits — City Council Member salaries will increase based on the compensation study that was completed in the fall of 2021 by an independent salary commission. Council wages increased in 2024, additional increases will happen in 2026 and 2028. Additional details can be found in the staffing section. City Council Members are eligible to enroll in health benefits as part of the elected position group. Coverage is dependent on group participation, with minimum requirements for the group plan.

Seasonal staff are typically hired between May and October and are budgeted at an equivalent to 0.50 FTE each. Employee groups include three sectors the Police Collective Bargaining Unit, General Collective Bargaining Unit, and non -represented personnel. 2025 City Manager Proposed Budget The Police Collective Bargaining Unit contract was ratified in 2024. Recruiting and retaining officers continues to be a high priority for Port Townsend. The 2025 budget assumes full staffing which includes 16.0 full-time officers. The General Government Collective Bargaining Unit contract expires December 31, 2024. Negotiations for a new contract are in process at this time. Wage increases for this bargaining unit are not included and will be considered as part of a future budget supplement. A salary survey was conducted in 2023 and all positions are placed in Grade Ranges based on current market data. A full list of authorized positions along with the position classification salary schedule, and more detailed budget assumptions is included in the Staffing and Compensation section of the Proposed Budget Book. Benefits, offered to employees include medical, dental, vision, long-term disability, life insurance and retirement. Teamsters Local 589 benefit plan covers both the Police and General Government union employees. Association of Washington Cities (AWC) provides benefits to non -represented employees. Retirement contributions for most employees (PERS) are funded at 9.11 % of eligible employee wages. The PERS contribution increased in September 2024. Police officers are covered by the LEOFF retirement system at a rate of 5.32% of eligible employee wages. This participation rate is mandated by the Washington State Retirement System. Employees also have the choice of enrolling in either the MissionSquare (formerly ICMA) or Washington State deferred compensation program which is not employer funded. 'IJliashuin ton State minimum wage increases in 2025 to ; 16.66 per hour, which is a 0.38 per hour„ or 2.35%, increase. This increase impacts seasonal wage rates and entry level library staff. Additionally, the increase impacts higher level position through wage compression. Wage compression occurs when pay adjustments regardless of experience, skills or seniority increase the base wage and bring those wages closer to the wages of more senior, experienced, skilled positions. The Director of People & Performance will continue to monitor the impact of minimum wage adjustments on all City positions. 2025 CAPITAL PROJECTS The proposed 2025 budget has a variety of capital projects that add new infrastructure investment and improve aging infrastructure.

Proposal: A combined Community Services (Parks, Facilities) and Library department (the library is a separate fund) with the addition of an arts and culture element to oversee the existing PT Creative District. Ultimately the reason for the change is for better, more integrated, more stable delivery of services to our community — with inclusive programming for all ages and an emphasis on youth and families. There are many elements to the why, including how we enhance each team and set ourselves up for sustained success. The City of Port Townsend Community Services Department is responsible for managing and maintaining city buildings and parks, stewarding the pool contract with the YMCA and the golf park contract for operations, and stewarding leases on the Mountain View Campus. The mission of the Department is to provide safe, equitable, and inclusive access to parks, recreation, and city facilities that strengthen the bonds of the community by enriching and enhancing the quality of life for the Port Townsend community. Additionally, we look to be stewards for self-sustaining urban and community forestry programs that look to preserve, establish and maintain trees, forest and understory for the community and increase the quality of life. 2025 K2 goals. • Create an integrated Community Services Department that combines Parks, Facilities, Library, and Arts. • Add the PROS plan to the Comprehensive Plan update. • With the addition of two new full-time staff in a dedicated custodian and a new city-wide electrician our facilities team will continue to work towards improving efficiency and effectiveness of preventative maintenance as well as system repairs. • The facilities division goal for next year is to improve internal service through training and upgrades to city systems. The aging Mountain View Pool also is challenging for the facilities team to maintain and keep operational. • Achieving facilities goals is reliant on an additional full-time employee for janitorial support included in this year's budget proposal. This strategy will provide time for skilled employees to perform proactive maintenance and special projects such as small remodels typically contracted. • The parks division proposes to expand deferred maintenance for trails and trees. The division looks forward to expanding the volunteer program consistent with the work plan goals. The department will look to hire and manage seasonals based on behalf of parks and streets which also will leverage the volunteer efforts. • Develop an urban forestry program. • Continue to implement building repair and remodel projects. • Develop sustainable park funding and strive for equitable distribution of funds in parks and trails. • Implement decisions made around the future of the aquatics/community health and wellness center. 2025 Work Plan: The division also will complete repairs of the Pink House and Pope Marine for restoration opportunities. • The facilities division will invest in ADA upgrades to the Council Chambers elevator street access door. • The facilities division will support investments of grant funding for upgrades to the library. • The parks division will complete the kitchen shelter project based on the 2022 banked capacity funding. • The parks division will contract for a master plan for a future neighborhood park on property located near Madrona Ridge. • The facilities division seeks to perform a buildings assessment and capital improvement plan to better understand investment needs based on proactive maintenance and develop a model for a facilities repair and replacement fund. • With the new addition of caretaker, the parks division has the goal of rehabilitating the Kah Tai restrooms. • The parks division will also be part of an open space planning effort in the coordination of maintenance with the Jefferson Land Trust. • The parks division will continue to further short-term funding for parks strategy which includes significant projects of evaluating a health and wellness center to replace Mountain View Pool as well as evaluation of the Golf Course and its future use. • Participate in open space planning and the Non -Motorized Plan update associated with the Comprehensive Plan update. • Perform asbestos abatement in preparation for demolish the Golden Age Club and Parks House buildings which have fallen into disrepair. • The parks division will begin the process of removing poplars along Sims Way in Kah Tai nature park according to the updated Gateway Development Plan. • As part of the periodic Comprehensive Plan update, the PROS plan will be updated as well to meet State requirements and maintain eligibility for RCO. • The ADA transition plan will be updated for parks • Create a new Arts & Culture position funded in part by LTAC. • PT Main Street transitions the stewardship of the Creative District to the City under the enhanced Community Services Department • Plan an integrated All Staff Day for teambuilding and staff training for the Parks, Facilities, Library, and Arts staff.

The Streets and Collections Division of Public Works is responsible for annual maintenance which includes cleaning, street sweeping, and stormwater repairs. This includes responding to heavy rain events to manage localized flooding. Leaf control is a major proactive maintenance strategy. The stormwater system is also managed by the engineering division to implement the Western Washington Stormwater Manual for water quality improvement. 2025 Key Goals: • The Streets division continues to transition the shift of resource investment from vegetation control to street repair. Stormwater management is a key function that needs to be restored prior to street investments. The division will spend considerable time in 2025 working on restoring ditches and making small drainage improvements. City of Port Townsend w ......

In 2024 the City Council adopted new sewer rates that look forward to funding the needed repairs in the sewer collection and treatment systems in the city. Goal Statement: The City of Port Townsend water and sewer (wastewater) fund is a combined fund although expenditures and revenues are tracked separately between water and sewer. The goal of these enterprise utilities is to work as a business unit to ensure that expenses do not exceed revenues while providing reliable utility services as an essential public service. 2025 Key 02@1; • The water division of public works will seek to implement the new cross connection program adopted by the City Council in 2022 as required by the Washington Administrative Code. • The water division will continue replacing aging pipelines to make the system more reliable and minimize distribution system leakage. • The water division will begin to implement the first year of five to replace all of the water meters across the city. • The water division will continue to implement the Water Supply Agreement with the Port Townsend Paper Mill and facilitate capital improvements into the Olympic Gravity Water System • The wastewater division anticipates updating the NPDES Permit for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Discharge to the Salish Sea. • The wastewater division will be implementing new sewer rates and begin to implement capital improvements identified in the sewer plan. • The collections division will implement a rigorous sewer inspection program to prioritize pipe rehabilitation investments. • The wastewater division will begin implementing a number of key capital projects resulting from the General Sewer Plan • The wastewater division will work with the County on expanding septage handling at the Compost Facility 2025 Work Plan: • The work plan for the water division is mostly focused on capital projects, • The water division has several capital projects such as the OGWS pipeline assessment, Lords Lake East Dam stability improvement design, 1 MG standpipe coating design, cathodic protection of the OGWS, landslide mitigation and pipeline support at Snow Creek, and rehabilitation of the control valve structure at the Big Quilcene Diversion. • The water division will begin the process of system wide meter replacement. • The work plan for the wastewater division is focused on capital projects such as the outfall, Water Street sewer replacement, Mill Road Lift Station, and Wastewater Treatment Plant rehabilitation projects. , . • The wastewater division will begin the process of purchasing additional land near the WWTP. • The Wastewater Treatment operators will coordinate plant operations around treatment plant projects. This adds additional challenges to operations. • Both the water and wastewater division will evaluate replacement and/or rehabilitation of pipe associated with street repair projects such that pipes are evaluated before paving. • Capital improvements on the stormwater system are also necessary. Much of the stormwater infrastructure is lacking or in a state of disrepair. Lawrence Street stormwater is piped into the Sanitary Sewer System and thus a new pipeline is needed in Lawrence Street. The city received a loan/grant to design this project. • The new stormwater rates provide an urban forestry fee. These fees will help plant and replace trees to enhance mitigation measures of the effects of impervious surface. 2025 Work Plan: • Staff will complete the 60% design for the Lawrence Street stormwater system project. • The stormwater improvements associated with the banked capacity street repairs were initiated in 2023 and will be completed in 2025. • Staff will support the installation of rain gardens by community members. ...........

This means that the division bills other funds for every hour worked. As such, the revenues in the budget often are shown to exceed expenses indicating that there is more work than can be performed by the division staff. In actuality, the division struggles to cover costs and the fund balance is near zero making it challenging for the division to take on tasks unless there is billing authority granted from other departments. The underlying goal of the division is to provide technical support for management of existing assets and the development of new public infrastructure. Engineering is a key division providing support to Public Works administration. This support comes in the form of internal service to other departments such as GIS mapping, software support, development review, contracting, bidding, purchasing, code enforcement, planning for future infrastructure and technical support to operations, planning for future infrastructure. External services are also a key element of engineering's responsibilities such as right of way management, permitting, franchise utility management, traffic analysis, and environmental compliance. Design of capital projects makes up over half of the engineering division's work which includes design and development of new infrastructure as well as capital repairs replacements, grant procurement, and capital funding program management. 2025 Key Koala: • Become fully staffed if not accomplished in 2024. • Support other divisions such as the Planning and Community Development Department in development review and comprehensive planning. • Engineering provides administration and design services in the deliver Capital Projects. Many projects are behind schedule. New staffing will help get projects completed. • Support Public Works Division with operations • Support traffic safety, traffic calming, and street right of way management. 2025 Work Plan: • Support the parking meter pilot project installation in Downtown. • Deliver a number of transportation, water, sewer, and stormwater capital projects. (See capital budgets). • Improved development review and infrastructure inspection in coordination with the Planning and Community Development Department. • Support the Planning and Community Development Department during the Comprehensive Plan update. • Lead an update to the Non -motorized Plan. • Perform an arterial street cohesive investment strategy. • Update of engineering standards and related codes. • Develop a streets master circulation plan. • Continued development of a city-wide infrastructure extension plan for 2025 code updates. • Move to a digital office and records management through training and use of digital resources in coordination with the public records officer.

City employees are made up of four groups: • General Government Bargaining Unit - employees who are members of the Local Union No. 589 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters • Police Department Bargaining Unit - employees who are members of the Local Union No. 589 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters • Non -represented management, and "confidential" employees who do not belong to any bargaining group • Part-time and temporary/seasonal employees Compensation and benefits for the two Teamsters bargaining units are negotiated and certain wage changes, pay scales and benefit packages are administered based on the contractual agreements. The Police Collective Bargaining Unit contract was ratified December 31, 2023, and will expire December 31, 2026. 15.0 full-time officers and 1 provisional officer were included in the budget. Recruitment for the police department has been effective, the department anticipates full staffing in 2025. Retaining officers will continue to be a priority for Port Townsend. 2025 wage rates for police are contracted to increase 3%. Due to current labor market conditions and higher than normal inflationary times, salary increases for staff continue to be above average. All known increases are included in the budget estimates for 2025. The General Government Collective Bargaining Unit agreement expires December 31, 2024. Negotiations are currently underway. A budget supplement will be submitted for Council approval in 2025 when negotiations have been completed. Changes to Council members' compensation were considered by an independent Salary Commission during the fall of 2021. Council compensation had not been changed since 2007. Five commission members were appointed to determine whether and what changes were necessary to monthly salaries for these elected officials. The commissioners considered multiple points of data including cost of living changes during the period of 2007-2021, salaries for officials in comparable communities, time required to carry out the functions of the office, and salaries received by members of other governing boards in Jefferson County. Individual interviews with Council members were conducted by the commission to better assess time commitment to the position. The commission's binding decision on compensation was presented to the City Clerk on November 9, 2021. Based on the commission's determination, compensation levels for 2024-5 are as follows: • Effective January 1, 2025 — the Mayor's monthly salary will be $1,075 • Effective January 1, 2025 — each Council member's monthly salary will be $725 Council salaries will increase in 2026. In 2028 a subsequent Salary Commission consideration is statutorily required. The binding decision can be challenged by referendum within 30 days. The process is defined in Port Townsend Municipal Code 2.90 Salary Commission. City Council members are eligible to enroll in health benefits as part of the elected position group. Coverage is dependent on group participation, with minimum requirements for the group plan. The 2025 budget reflects a total of 113.6 full-time equivalents (FTEs) excluding Council members and seasonal staff. The FTE count reflects an increase of 4 positions compared to the 2024 budgeted positions. The Community Services Director will replace the Library Director in the 2025 budget. Additions include: • Community Services Director • Arts & Culture Coordinator • Water Maintenance Worker • Streets Operator I • Parks Maintenance Worker Despite these additions, service requests from our community often exceed our staff's capacity to respond; setting service level expectations and matching the City's ability to fund these service levels is a key focus area of the report delivered by the Financial Sustainability Task Force. Details on the assumptions used in preparation of the 2025 salary and benefit budget, including details regarding the proposed staff reductions, are provided below. The General Government Agreement covers Public Works, Planning and Community Development, Finance, Police Administration, and some library employees. The General Government Collective Bargaining Unit contract expires December 31, 2024. Negotiations are in progress for a new contract. The General Government Agreement with the Teamsters defines the pay scales, seniority rates and annual inflationary adjustments to salaries for this group of employees. 2025 budget assumptions do not include a COLA increase; any wage rate increases will be determined when a new agreement is ratified, and the costs will be brought back to Council in a 2025 budget supplemental. Full-time employees receive a full benefit package that includes health, life, dental and retirement benefits. The current contract calls for employees in this group to contribute 10% of the total cost of the medical benefit costs for themselves and any covered dependents, which is how the City budgeted these costs. Teamster benefit rates are budgeted to increase 4.0% in 2025. 2025 Bud et Assumptions for Police A reement The Police Agreement with the Teamsters defines the pay scales, compensated hours, seniority rates and cost of living adjustments to salaries for police officers and sergeants. The Police Collective Bargaining Unit contract expires December 31, 2026. The current contract was ratified on December 31, 2023. 2025 budget assumptions include a contracted hourly rate increase of 3%. Full-time employees receive a full benefit package that includes health, life, dental and retirement benefits. Employees contribute 10% of the medical benefit costs for themselves and any covered dependents. Teamster benefit rates are budgeted to increase 4.0% in 2025. The non -represented employee group is made up of management and professional level staff, non -union part-time library staff, and confidential/administrative staff. This group has no formal contractual agreement and benefit, and wage increases have historically been dictated by the performance and availability of budget dollars. Full-time employees receive a full benefit package through AWC that includes health, life, dental and retirement benefits. Employees contribute 15% of the total cost of these benefits for themselves and any covered dependents. Medical benefit rates are forecasted to increase 7.3% which is partially offset by a 2.0% discount for WellCity designation. Employees may choose from two dental plans. The dental premiums are budgeted for no increases in 2025. There are no increases forecasted for vision benefit rates. Due to the increasingly competitive recruitment and retention environment of the past few years, a comprehensive review of both represented and non -represented was completed in 2023. Based on the results of the market study, a new grade -based system has been put in place for non -represented employees. In addition, the compensation policy has been updated and incorporated into the City's personnel policies. The represented positions included in the salary were reviewed in 2024. The 2025 budget does not include a cost of living wage adjustment for non -represented employees, this will be brought back to council as a supplemental after the General Government Agreement has been ratified. Minimum Wage - For 2025, the minimum wage will increase $0.38 or 2.35% to $16.66 per hour. This increase impacts library and seasonal wage rates. Additionally, the increase begins to impact higher level position through wage compression. Wage compression occurs when pay adjustments regardless of experience, skills or seniority increase the base wage and bring those wages closer to the wages of more senior, experienced, skilled positions. The Director of People & Performance will continue to monitor the impact of minimum wage adjustments on all City positions. Recruitina Staff. Succession Plannina and Best Practices The City continues to strive to foster a healthy organization through investing in leadership development and training and adopting and implementing best employment practices. In 2022, the City Manager restructured the Human Resources Department by hiring a Director of People & Performance. This position reports directly to the City Manager and is a key member of the City's leadership team. This position is supported by a full-time Human Resource Generalist, a part-time Human Resource Assistant as well as support from the Payroll Administrator. The Director will continue to focus on recruitment, retention, and development of City staff. Development of career pathing and City-wide training opportunities for growth will enhance the City's ability to retain valued employees and set standards for a high-performance culture. The 2025 budget adds resources for staff training and education. A total of 113.6 positions are included in the budget for 2025, not including Council members, seasonal workers, volunteer hours or accrued leave payouts. Seasonal workers consist of 2.0 FTEs or 4 short-term employees to assist with Streets and Parks operations. Volunteer hours amount to approximately 3.36 FTEs and assist with police operations, library operations, and parks maintenance. A chart below shows the trend by department of authorized staffing over the last five years Previous years totals are reflective of the council adopted budget for each year, numbers may change after adoption due to mid -year Council authorized positions but are included for rough comparison.

FINANCIAL POLICY GUIDELINES The financial policies outlined in this document have been developed in accordance with the Government Finance Officers Association's "Best Practices". These policy guidelines are intended to aid the City Council and City management in financial decision making. These policy guidelines also provide a means to test short term financial and budget decisions to help ensure the City is able to meet its immediate and long-term financial service objectives and obligations. The City of Port Townsend is accountable to its citizens for the use of public funds. Municipal resources must be wisely used to ensure adequate funding for services, public facilities and infrastructure needed to meet the community's present and future needs. These policies are designed to help safeguard the fiscal stability required to achieve the City's goals and objectives. The City's Comprehensive Financial Policies have the following objectives: • To guide the City Council and management policy decisions that have significant financial impact. • To set forth operating principles which minimize the cost of government and financial risk to the City. • To employ balanced, consistent, and fair revenue policies that provide adequate funding for desired programs. • To promote sound financial management by providing accurate and timely information on the City's financial condition. • To protect the City's credit rating and provide for adequate resources to meet the provision of the City's debt obligations for all municipal debt. • To ensure the legal use of financial resources through an effective system of internal controls. II. ORGANIZATION The City provides municipal services for its citizens, including protection of life and property, public health and welfare, and improved quality of life. The City Council deems it a high priority to deliver municipal services in the manner consistent for all citizens, and with maximum efficiency and financial prudence. The Council, as the legislative and governing body, sets the City's Financial and Budget Policy Guidelines, and through its Finance and Budget Committee, monitors and reviews the City's overall financial performance. The City Manager, as the City's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Budget Officer, is responsible to the Council for managing City operations and program services, and preparation of the City's Annual Budget consistent with established Financial and Budget Policy Guidelines.

Budgeting, accounting and reporting activities will conform to the Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting System (BARS) for Governments as prescribed by the Washington State Auditor, The City maintains its accounting and budgeting records on a cash basis and adheres, to the cash basis BARS manual. aRitalll assets -- s a cash basis entity, the City records and reports only inflows and outflows of cash. When a capital asset is purchased„ the entire expenditure is recorded when the cash is expended and depreciation is not recorded. "The City considers capital assets to be real and intangible assets above $7,500 in value that have ail anticipated life of one year or more, Capital assets are tracked by Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines Adopted December 4e , 202.E J Page 5 of 22 the Finance Department as a fixed asset inventory. Items that are no longer needed or no longer functional will be disposed according to the City surplus policy and state law. Capital assets that are purchased with grant funds may be subject to additional compliance requirements. The department obtaining the grant is responsible for understanding any compliance requirements related to acquiring, inventorying, tracking and disposing of assets obtained through these types of funds. Small and Attractive Assets - The City identifies small and attractive assets as items with a cost greater than $500 but less than $7,500. These items have a life expectancy of more than one year AND are not likely to be immediately missed upon disappearance. These items are generally mobile in nature and may be easily transported from the workplace. Some exceptions to the $500 minimum include tablets, phones, personal computers, and other lower cost items that have ongoing maintenance or service costs associated with them. Department Heads are accountable for the security of these items and are responsible for following the Small and Attractive Assets Policy and Procedures that have been adopted by Council. The Director of Finance and Technology Services (Finance Director) has oversight responsibility for this policy and the associated inventory of these items. Auditing — The State Auditor will perform the City's financial, federal single audit and accountability/compliance audits in accordance with state and federal laws. Results of the audit will be provided to the Council in a timely manner. Cash Management — The Director of Finance & Technology Services will ensure that cash management systems are developed to ensure accurate and timely accounting for all cash and security of all cash assets. Careful financial control of the City's daily operations is an important part of the City's overall fiscal management practices.

All participants inthe City'n investment process shall act responsibly os custodians ofthe public trust. ° As permitted bylaw and City ordinances and to maximize the effective investment of assets, all funds needed for general obligations may be pooled into one account for investment purposes. The �ncome derived from this account will be distributed to the various funds based on their average fund balances on a pehodic basis. See Appendix Afor Full Investment Pdioy. IV. FUND STRUCUTURE&FUND RESERVE GUIDELINES The City'oaccounting and budgeting systems are organized and operated on a fund basis. Funds are accounting onddox used to record revenues and expenditures, total�| expenditures, The budgeted fwndsa^egroupedintomategnhoo:Genemal, Special mewsnuo' Debt Service, Capital Projects, Enterprise, and Internal Service. The following provides ubrief description of the fund types and reserve guidelines for each humd. The numbers in parentheses represent the BARS manual fund series numbering scheme. GENERALfUND (010 ­ This is the primary operating fund or current expense fund of the City, To maintain the City's credit rating and meet seasonal casli flow, the budget shall provide for an anticipated undesignated furid balance between 8% and 15% of estimated annual revenues for general government fund types, The fund balance shall be exclusive of all reserves riot anticipated to be readily available for use in emergencies and con tinge ricies. Should the fund balance fall below 8% of revenues, a plan for expenditure reductions and/or revenue increases shall be Submitted by the City Manager to the Council, If, at the end of a fiscal year, the fund balance faft below 8%, then the City shall rebuild the balance within a period not to exceed three fiscal years, GENERA F ND UN RE ER E dod he Gene n provide for non -recurring COMMUntly request,% or unanticipated needs deemed necessary by Council. The Council Reserve shall be suspended during times of significant economic downturn, especially during years when the General Fund Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines Adopted December I ), 202 3 t Page 7 oj'22 ending fund balance falls below 5%. The Council Reserve is a budgeted appropriation expected to be specifically allocated at the Council's discretion. SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS 101-199 -- These funds account for revenues derived from special taxes, grants or other restricted sources designed to finance particular activities. Apart from any unrestricted General Fund contributions to a Special Revenue Fund, the unexpended ending fund balances carry over year to year and should retain enough revenue to cover operating cash flow and anticipated major project or program obligations of the fund. Of these funds, the Street, Library, and Community Services funds are of an operations nature. The Street and Community Services Funds reserve balance will be equivalent to 2-3% of fund expenditures. The Library Fund reserve is set at 5-8% of Library property tax revenue. Other Special Revenue Funds are more cyclical, or project related and only need retained ending fund balances or transfers in to cover anticipated obligations: Drug Enforcement, Lodging Tax, Fire/EMS, Affordable Housing, and CDBG Grants. roar n r enu,:, ,... a nu tt,r ,tno...tR.tf drTtLHj............urt,ty f.yja.tmwatjj.j�u ,��..rtr.j� �uurr6 �¢auallrt rn.�........ �rm,r�sn �wu�utsuuut �...uuttrf ��ru�au¢tr � ..ta..m�urrvu° w tuu-u�t�mu-d ugryntllraar nruuuu,ut,ar trrwpt °N.uat; rerr au u�0attr�tWru4wtrte�rau,u,ra =� �luRw,urr��.�ll��* �t�Rt�gi�.t. �'t"�mu...l�ra.�aylrt�i u�s�� ��� p,� �*o�d�� *a dq,�!`e ! rt , warwb,0murtwuuu� ......Varrhu,uay,j etywW, a,a rtjw� . nuuta"*li,grjed a y,t0aatw0"ttN .lu a ¢,ar u.t«� Ilu,urp! tuu.tt_y rp.w,t'rr lllnr.rrn or trs hgfl;u rlinai a i, irr ess(,au;�wp ,uti, , rrr a0t,t"r atrruu,uuut taaag t)ds of rrFrum0qu ntur &,y wnturn, 11rie fund �awah0 byflndto between 5% - 4,01" o� G Air rM F un HJ t0uurus„e4 r,rt r atrrbet re I ri rnent:°r �,A R W3,5 �i 04, s n (,, «afionM and, rubs u� tur nrtetrreu ,r rur0 nde d Use, , The Raii0ry I a� u�umrtew011l Irea �arufu�te t6urtyr�¢tllfl„Glh�q .nr? k.)�iiiln¢t: �.�IIIIre t6cteC4,eDlle DIIIrVtl6�wG't vei Y�U r,. u i n7rV G: ontriltpui ions tlron n the GeneraFund nd Reserve C(,xrItibu fio r.,.hr rn the va rou0wa�y?.iErw ��:9.a.1✓,u�w itwut.V ON TING CY.

The City shall retain or transfer in funds sufficient to cover the annual debt service obligations and retain such "coverage" amounts to comply with bond covenants or other loan restrictions. CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS 300- These funds are established for the acquisition or construction of general government (non -utility) Capital improvements, Ending Fund Balance Reserves should be maintained at levels sufficient to cover anticipated annual expenditures with transfers in from supporting funds (General, REET, etc.) to cover project needs. ENTERPRISE F NDS 4gCI - Thee funds are the proprietary or "business -like" funds tor operations providing services to the general public supported primarily through user's fees (Water„ Sewer, Stormwater, and Utility Revenue Bond), The Ending Faired Balances of these funds should be equal to or greater than 60 days of operating expenditures and any additional amounts needed to build towards future project cash or debt payment needs, To the extent that the reserved Fund Baiance and operating cash flow are riot adequate to fund needed utility systern improvements, addifional rate increases or surcharges may be adopted by Council. Included in the Enterprise funds are Debt Service Reserve Funds, Utility Capital Project Funds and System Development Fund, Revenue bonds may be issued by the Enterprise Funds. Investors may require additional lending requirements or covenants. The ending fund balance of the Enterprise Funds should include a reserve to rover any additional covenant requirements, INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS 60t1 - These funds are also internal "business- like" funds for operations providing services to other City departments (funds) on a direct cost -reimbursement basis (e.g. Equipment Rental including Information Technology services and equipment and Facilities„ Public Works Administration and internal Engineering Services). Fund balances should break even, after set aside of funds for future capital equipment replacements. FIDUCIARY FUNDS 600 -.• 'f here funds account for assets held by the City as a trustee or as an agent on behalf of others. Ending Fund Balances and any transfers in should be maintained consistent with fund restrictions. ENDING FUND BALANCE, RESERVES, CONTINGENCY SUMMARY Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines Adopted December 4', 202 ,4 Page 9 of 22 The following is a summary of the reserves guidelines. Guidelines will be reviewed annually as a part of the Budget process: General Fund ................................... 8-15% of operating revenue Library ..........................................a. 5-8% of property tax Street ............................................. 2-3% of expenditures Community Services ......................... 2-3% of expenditures Other Special Revenue Funds „.......,... Sufficient to meet obligations Contingency .................................... No less than 2% of operating revenue Debt Service ............... Sufficient to meet obligations General Capital .............. ................ Sufficient to meet obligations Enterprise Funds ............................. 60 days of operating expenditures System Development Charges Fund Sufficient to meet obligations (Enterprise) .................................... Internal Service ............................... Sufficient to meet obligations Fiduciary Funds .............................. Sufficient to meet obligations The undesignated General Fund Balance (the balance not tied to a known project) will be maintained at a level that provides the City with sufficient working capital and a comfortable margin of safety to address emergencies and unexpected declines in revenue without borrowing. The City should not use the undesignated General Fund Balance to finance recurring operating expenditures. Annual General Fund revenues should be equal to or greater than annual regular operating expenditures. Reserves above the target can be used for new expenditures, with emphasis placed on one-time uses that achieve future operating cost reductions. General Fund revenues will be used for general government, street and community service programs only. General Fund revenue for other purposes will require approval by the City Council. General Fund revenues will not be used to subsidize utility or enterprise operations, which will be self-supporting through user rates. V. REVENUE POLICIES General Revenue Policies - The City will strive to maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to shelter the government from short -run fluctuations in any one revenue source and ensure its ability to provide ongoing service. Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines Adopted December •f2, 202,,'4 Page 10 of22 Restricted revenue shall only be used for purposes legally permissible and in a fiscally responsible manner. Programs and services funded by restricted revenue will be clearly designated as such. One-time revenues shall support one-time expenditures. County, state or federal funding will be used to finance only those capital improvements that are consistent with the capital Improvement plan and local government priorities, and whose operation and maintenance costs have been included in operating budget forecasts. Enter rise Fund ferrenue l'ollcles Enterprise funds will be operated in a manner that maintains a minimum ending fund balance that is not less than 60 days of operating expenditures. Utilities will be self-supporting through user rates and charges. Utility user charges for each of the City utilities will be based on cost of service (i.e., set to full support the total direct, indirect, and capital costs) and established so that the operating revenues of each utility are at least equal to its operating expenditures and annual debt service obligations. The user rates of a utility shall be designated so that a portion covers replacement of the utility's facilities, The Utility will conduct a study of its user rates no less than every 5 years to ensure rates are adequate to fund operations and meet future needs. Fund balances may be used to temporarily offset rate increases, after sufficient funds have been accumulated for identified capital improvement needs or alternative funding for projects has been secured. Fees and. Chgrg2s (Non-L)tillty) All fees for licenses, permits, fines, and other miscellaneous charges shall be set to recover the City's expense in providing the attendant service. Average cost or actual cost methodology may be used. These fees will be reviewed periodically and will be incorporated into the budget process for possible action by Council. Fees and charges for services will generally be set to recover the actual cost of service delivery, Fees that are set lower than the cost -of -service delivery will be reviewed at least every other year to determine if those fees are still appropriate based on City finances and the community needs. Where direct beneficiaries of a city program or services can be identified, fees will be established to recover the costs of that program or service. Fees will also be set in a manner that protects taxpayers from subsidizing special service users. A fee shall be charged for any service that benefits limited interests within the Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines Adapted December i1, 202 � I Page 11 oj'22 community, except for human needs type services to persons with limited ability to pay. Rental fees will be established to recover full cost of use of the property or facility. Fees related to the rental of City properties may be waived only through approval of the City Manager. The waiver of fees will only be provided if the purpose of the rental or its associated event will benefit the community at large. Some services provide greater benefit to the community. When a greater community benefit is identified, the Council may choose to subsidize, either whole or in part, such services. Park Fees Through a volunteer recruitment program, the Parks will seek to minimize the subsidy required for partial and minimum fee support programs. Solicitation of funds through donations, fund raising events, non-traditional sources, and various other modes will be encouraged by the City through its park user groups. Funds collected for any special purpose shall be earmarked for that purpose. VI. OVERHEAD COST RECOVERY (COST ALLOCATION) As provided in the State Auditor's Office guidelines, "Cost allocation is a method to determine and assign the cost of central services to the internal -government users of those services. Cost allocation thereby enables local governments to more accurately account for the complete cost of the services it provides to the public —and to better assess the fees it should charge them." Included in cost allocation are direct costs (not otherwise charged to budget units) and indirect costs. Direct Costs are those costs that can be specifically identified with a particular service or unit if not already charged directly (e.g. facilities, janitorial, etc.) Indirect Costs are costs incurred for common or joint purposes, benefiting more than one unit, not readily assignable to a specific unit (e.g., legal, human resources, administration, clerk, etc.). The term "allocation" implies that there is no overly precise method available for direct charging a cost to a unit, so the City is using the most appropriate method available for doing so. However, a cost allocation plan should be designed and used to provide a reasonable, consistent and equitable means to allocate costs. Inequitable charges result in questionable charges to grant, utilities and restricted funds. For grant purposes, costs that benefit the public at large cannot be included and should follow the OMB A-87 and/or 2CFR Part 200 guidelines. Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines Adopted December -1 ', 202 i�i Page 12 of 22 The Council adopted a Cost Allocation Plan in Resolution 14-035 on June 25, 2014. In addition to using the overhead cost recovery model to assess the appropriate amount of overhead to utilize for establishing User fees, the model will be used to apply charges to Departments/Funds, for City-wide overhead indirect cost recovery, where allowed (Council, City Manager, City Clerk, City Attorney and Finance), The Council may authorize waiver of the overhead cost -recovery in all or part if Council determines doing so will provide a general benefit to the citizens, taxpayers, or utility rate payer. If a portion of the overhead cost -recovery is waived, the General Fund must absorb these costs; waived costs may not be absorbed by or reallocated to a Special Revenue or Enterprise Fund, VII. GENERAL BUDGET POLICIES Annual Bud set — -The City's annual budget will be developed in accordance with the policies and priorities set forttl in the comprehensive plan, the City Council's strategic plan, City Council goals and priorities, the needs of the community, and federal and state laws. In general, budgeted revenues must meet or exceed budgeted appropriations each year. Current year operating expenses, maintenance costs and direct and indirect costs of services provided will be covered by current year revenues. One- time expenditures may be appropriated if one-time revenues or excess fund balance (in excess of reserve requirements) are available. The City budget appropriations are adopted at the fund level. Department heads are responsible for preparing a budget that reflects realistic expense projections and that adhere to guidelines within this policy document EXpense AegropriationlPoligies— Operating expenditures will be proposed at a level that will be supported by ongoing annual operating revenues. Staffing BLjd9jL=_Salary and benefit costs are the City's most significant operating expense, The City will strive to provide a total compensation package that is comparable to other cities and similar type positions within the same labor market or other cities of a similar size with comparable type and quality services in order to recruit and retain high quality staff. The City Manager's proposed budget will identify staffing levels and provide justification for any increases or decreases in overall City staffing. Union Contract negotiations may impact budget expenditures annually. However, if a collective bargaining agreement is, or will be, under negotiation, a specific Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines Adapted December aa, 202-3 Page 13 of 22 amount will not be included in the budget from potential wage adjustments resulting from the negotiation, other than a base COLA adjustment. This is to protect the City from any claims of not "bargaining in good faith". Funding for unknown contract terms must be considered in balancing ongoing revenues with ongoing expenses. Equipment Replacement Maintenance - Equipment replacement and maintenance projections will be updated each year. Replacement of items with a cost of 7,500 or more will be reviewed to time such expenditures at stable intervals to preserve cash flow, when possible. Deferment of regular repair and maintenance will not be used to balance the budget. Training avid Travel — City employees or others on official City business or training may be required to travel outside the City to conduct their business or training for the City. City employees and officials will be reimbursed for reasonable and customary expenses incurred in the conduct of their business for the City, including food, lodging and travel expenses while away, excluding any expenses for personal entertainment or alcoholic beverages, as provided in the City's Personnel Policies Manual for business or training travel. Such training or travel shall be as provided either specifically or generally in the annual budget. Training is an investment in maintaining the certifications and skills of the City's employees. Allocating 1% of the department's budgeted salary expense is recommended for certifications and skills training. The City will also include a targeted amount of 1% of City-wide salaries for organizational development and process improvement. Investments that Forestall Addina Permanent Staff - Since personnel -related expenditures represent the largest portion of the City's budget, funding of technology or process improvements that increase efficiency and effectiveness of the delivery of City services should receive priority funding. Bydget lyt Lin The Director of Finance and Technology Services will maintain a system for monitoring the City's budget performance. This system will provide timely information to Department Heads and the City Manager to ensure accuracy of financial data and compliance with budget appropriations. The Council will receive (at a minimum) quarterly reports regarding fund level revenues and expenditure performance compared to budget. Significant financial issues that need to be addressed between regular monitoring reports will be provided to Council as warranted. Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines Adopted December ,Q 202',d Page !4 of22 The Finance Director will monitor unanticipated needs or emergency expenditures and prepare budget amendments or supplementals in compliance with State Law. Vill. FINANCIAL PLANNING POLICIES Financial Forecas — The City will develop a 5-year Financial Plan and Forecast Model based on these financial policy guidelines and a best estimate of likely revenues and expenditures, The model will be used to test the policies against likely surrounding economic conditions. The model will be used for, long-range financial planning and is not a replacement for budgeting„ The City"s financial planning will include the current year budget plus five additional years of projected data. The City may elect to extend its planning horizon further if conditions warrant. The long-range financial plan operating revenues and expenses will include data for the General Fund„ Contingency Fund„ Library Fund and Community Services Fund. In addition to ongoing revenues and expenses, this forecast will utilize assumptions that forecast general obligation debt and general fund contributions to capital projects. The long-range financial plan should present trends and projections in key financial indicators, such as: • Revenues and expenses per capita including nominal and inflation adjusted data. • Staffing levels per 1,000 population: total and by major department. • Projected annual growth rates of revenues and expenses including personnel costs. The long-range financial plan may include comparisons to other cities and benchmarks, recognizing that the data for comparable cities may reflect differences in service delivery„ financial structure and financial policies. Comparative information may include: • Comparative revenues and expenses by major type to include: o Total revenues and expenses per capita. o Taxes per capita by tax source. IX. ENTERPRISE FUNDS The Water, Sewer and Stormwater utilities will be managed as self-supporting business enterprises. Each utility will be managed in a professional manner in accordance with applicable laws and standards. The long-range financial plan model for each utility will analyze rate revenues, rate structure, operating costs, Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines Adopted December �', 202 N Page 15 oJ'22 replacement capital costs, debt service and other utility considerations (special rate programs, paybacks, etc.). The City may utilize specialized rate consultants to evaluate the rate and cost structure of the utilities. X. CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAM PLAN POLICIES General Policy Considerations - The major resources for funding capital improvement and capital maintenance programs are revenues, grants and debt. Financing planned capital replacement costs are an ongoing challenge. Preparing for the challenges of infrastructure replacement or enhancements demands a long-term view of replacement needs. In order to plan for these needs the City will develop a six -year Capital Improvement Plan (GIP) for adoption by Council as required by the Washington's Growth Management Act. The CIP will be consistent with the Capital Facilities Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. A capital project over $15,000 with a minimum of a five-year anticipated life will be included in the CIP. XI. DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY Lon Term Debt -- The City will manage its long-term debt in a manner designed to utilize its credit to optimize City services while balancing overall debt levels and annual debt service obligations. Long-term debt includes Bonds, Federal or State loans (e.g. PWTF, FHA), or private placement financing. The City shall only use long-term debt for capital projects that cannot be financed out of current revenues. Annual debt payments should not exceed 15% of the total of annual General Government operating revenues plus budgeted transfers from capital funding sources. General Government Funds include the General Fund, Contingency Fund and Special Revenue Funds. Debt financing will generally be limited to one-time capital improvement projects and only under the following circumstances: • Debt payments shall not extend beyond the estimated useful life of the project being financed. The City shall keep the average maturity of general obligations bonds at or below 30 years, unless special circumstances arise warranting the need to extend the debt schedule. • When project revenue or specific resources as identified will be sufficient to service the debt; • When projects greater than $100,000 cannot be financed on a pay-as-you-go basis from anticipated cash flows. Debt financing will not be considered appropriate for: • Current operating and maintenance expenses (except for issuing short-term instruments such as revenue anticipation notes or tax anticipation notes); and any recurring purpose (except as indicated above). Comprehensive Financial Managernent Policy Guidelines Adopted December,l ', 202 Ll Page 16 of22 • Grant match less than $100,000 where funding is anticipated from on -going cash flow or reserve balances. • Projects less than $100,000 where funding is anticipated on a pay-as-you-go basis from anticipated cash flows or reserve balances. Tax anticipation debt will be retired annually, and bond anticipation notes MR be retired within six months of the completion of the project. Short -tern) debt outstanding at the end of the year will not exceed 5% of net operating revenue (including tax anticipation notes but excluding bond anticipation notes.) The City's Limited (non -voted) General Obligation (LTGO) Debt Capacity per State Law is 1,6% of total assessed value, The City should seek to retain 5-10% of its LTGO Debt Capacity for unforeseeable catastrophic emergencies. Options for Interim or "Bridge" financing may include: • Bond Anticipation Notes (BANS) • Tax Anticipation Notes (TANS) • Lines of Credit with major financial institutions • Interfund Loans $hort Term.,lDe!Lt — Transfers and Interfund Loapj,- General Fund transfers to other funds are Intended as payments for the support of specific programs or services, Amounts not needed to support such specific program or service expenses will remain in the General Fund's fund balance. For example, the General Fund may make transfers to the Debt Fund to fund annual debt service payments or to the Community Services Fund to support parks or service programs. Interfund loans are temporary in nature. The requirements for interfund loans are as follows: • The Council must approve all Interfund loans by resolution. The resolution will include a planned schedule of repayment of the loan principal as well as setting a reasonable rate of interest to be paid to the lending fund, • The borrowing fund must reasonably be able to anticipate sufficient revenue to repay the principal and interest payments as required by the authorizing resolution, • The rate of interest should not be lower than the "opportunity cost" if the funds were otherwise invested, such as the LGIP (Local Government Investment Pool) rate or a bank CD rate for a similar term; not higher than the external rate available to the municipality. • Interest is not required in the following circumstances: o If the borrowing fund has no independent source of revenue other than the lending fund; Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines Adopted December I.r, 202� I Page 17 of 22 o The lending fund is the General Fund, which, being unrestricted, can provide interest free loans to other funds. The term of the interfund loan will not exceed three years. Any interfund loans that are not repaid within three years will be scrutinized for a "permanent diversion" of moneys. (Note: These restrictions and limitations do not apply to those funds which are legally permitted to support one another through appropriations, transfers, advances, etc.) For short-term cash deficits in non -General Fund operating funds during the course of the year, City interfund loans are preferable to outside short-term or private sector lines of credit. XII. PURCHASING POLICY Purchases of goods, services and capital items will be made consistent with the annual budget appropriations, state and federal law, the City's Purchasing Ordinance and the State Auditor's requirements. The City's Purchasing Ordinance will outline the City Manager's spending and contracting authority. Any purchases or contracts above those authority limits must be authorized in advance by City Council (some exceptions for public emergencies will apply). The City Manager may delegate spending authority (within his/her limits) to Department Heads to facilitate operating efficiency. The City Manager and Department Heads purchase goods and services at a reasonable cost, using an open, fairly documented and competitive process whenever reasonable and possible. The Director of Finance & Technology Services (Finance Director) is charged with developing administrative/operating procedures to implement sound purchasing policies. These procedures will be based on guidelines provided in State Law and by the State Auditor's Office. All purchases made by the City will ultimately be approved by the Council through the voucher approval process. XIII. ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER POLICY Electronic payment methods are a safe and efficient method to process disbursements and receive payments for City business. City policy is to establish the best methods to process payments to employees and vendors. In addition, City policy is to establish the best rnethods to receive payments from customers and vendors. Electronic payment methods may include Electronic Funds Transfer (EFTs), Automated Clearing House (ACH), Wire Transfers, credit card and debit card. The Director of Finance & Technology Services (Finance Director) will maintain administrative/operating procedures to manage sound electronic fund transfer policies and procedures.

Please also refer to RCW 42.23 (Code of Ethics for Municipal Officers — Contract Interests). A municipal officer includes all elected officials, advisory board members, and City employees. City employees are expected to represent the City in a professional and accountable manner that is courteous, helpful, and efficient. Employees shall conduct their public and private actions and financial dealings in a mannerthat shall present no conflict of interest between the public trust and their private interest. Actions of City employees, when purchasing supplies and services, should be fair and impartial and not be used for personal gain or benefit. Public employment shall not be used for personal gain, and City employees may neither solicit, accept, nor agree to accept any compensation, gratuity, or reward for themselves, their families, or others that results in their personal gain or which may affect their impartiality in making decisions on the job. Discounts or concessions realistically available to the general population, items received that do not result in personal gain, and samples for general City use are examples of items that are not gratuities. Personal judgment should be used, and questions regarding particular situations should be referred to the employee's supervisor or department head. Personal gifts or gratuities that might influence or give the appearance of influencing purchases of goods or services must be declined. Employees may not willfully circumvent purchasing and procurement policies and procedures to enter into contracts or purchase goods and services.

Any 2 City employee or Council member who recommends or approves a purchase and has any financial interest in the firm involved in the purchase shall disclose his or her interest prior to recommending or approving the purchase. No city staff or Council member may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by a Federal award if they have a real or apparent conflict of interest. Such a conflict of interest would arise when the City employee or Council member, any member of their immediate family, their partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of the parties indicated herein, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for a contract. Any willful violation will be subject to disciplinary action according to LTMC .8Q,.0 0. 1.5 Unauthorized Purchases PURCHASES FOR PERSONAL USE ARE NOTALLOWED. The person ordering the unauthorized and unjustified purchase is personally liable for the costs of the purchase or contract and may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. If the purchase was made without proper authorization but is in fact a justified purchase, then the department head has the option to approve the purchase after the fact. When representing the City through purchasing goods and services, employees are prohibited from doing the following: • 'Bid Splitting" —A capital (public work) project means a complete project. The project may not be split into units or classes of work to avoid the restriction on work that may be performed by day labor or other bid rules. • Purchase breakup — Purchases that exceed authorization limits or exceed the quote requirements should not be split up to circumvent the purchasing policies and procedures. • Purchasing alcohol or personal entertainment goods and services. • Generating a purchase order. Only the Legal Department or Finance Department have the authority to generate a purchase order (encumbrance). • Purchasing controlled commodities without prior approval including the following: o Cell phones, telephone equipment, pagers, etc. o Computers and related equipment, fax machines, printers, scanners, copiers, software, or systems 3 o Anything that IT staff is requested or required to install, connect, service, maintain, or support o Anything purchased using Equipment Rental and Revolving Funds o Using a City -issued purchase card for cash advances or professional services 1.6 Sustainable Purchasing The City shall acquire its goods and services in a manner that complies with all federal, State, and City laws and other requirements (e.g., City resolutions). Environmental factors to consider in selecting products include: • Pollutant releases, especially persistent bio-accumulative toxins (PBTs) • Waste generation • Greenhouse gas emissions • Recycled content [recommend using 30% recycled paper] • Energy consumption • Depletion of natural resources • Potential impact on human health and the environment Social equity factors that should be considered include but are not limited to: • Use of local businesses when allowable under bid rules • Use of small, minority, and women -owned businesses • Ergonomic and human health impacts Fiscal factors to be considered include but are not limited to: • Lowest total cost • Leveraging our buying power • Impact on staff time and labor • Long-term financial/market changes • Technological advances in a rapidly changing market 1.7 What This Manual Covers The process of selecting vendors and managing contracts shall embody the value of stewardship of public resources by providing the greatest levels of both quality and value. The goals are to ensure that the purchase process: 4 • Practices ethical behavior and conduct: Create purchasing processes that are fair, open, and at least cost of public funds. • Obtains value with public funds: Purchase goods and services that are fiscally responsible, reduce resource consumption and waste, perform adequately, promote advantages to lessor advantaged segments of the community, and promote health and well-being. • Acts with integrity and ensures open and effective communication: Be impartial in fact, as well as in appearance. From Start to Finish... Before any purchase is made, the following questions should be answered: • Define the need,— What kind of purchase is this? • Determine the cost — How much will it cost? • Process — How do I procure it? • Protectin the Cit — How do we properly protect the City from liability? • Authority— Who must approve it? • Contract administration,— What are my responsibilities? 1.8 Define the Need The first question that should be answered is "What type of purchase is this?" The major categories of purchases include: Public Works: (RCW 3 4. 1) Includes all work, construction, alteration, repair, or improvements other than ordinary maintenance executed at the cost of the City: Examples: demolition, remodeling, renovation, road construction, building construction, and utilities construction. Ordinary maintenance is generally considered to include work not performed by contract and performed on a regular basis to service, check, or replace items that are not broken. For purposes of prevailing wage requirements, public works includes ordinary maintenance when performed by contract. See Section 3.2. Materials Su Res.kqd E uip nt. Materials, supplies, and equipment are considered tangible items, which are manufactured and are moveable at the time of purchase. It is important to distinguish materials, supplies, and equipment used in public works contracts from those in non-public works contracts, as different bidding requirements apply to each. Examples: office supplies, off -the -shelf software, hardware, trucks, copy machines, auto parts, gravel, janitorial supplies, food, and beverages. Services: Distinguishing between services and public works is important, as services have different bidding requirements. Services require the labor, time, or effort of a human being and can include intellectual or physical work. Examples: accountants, attorneys, elevator maintenance, instructors, technology consulting, engineers, and land surveyors. 1.9 Detennine the Cost Once the need has been defined, the estimated cost of the goods or services will generally determine what competitive selection process you follow. Estimated project costs for competitive bidding purposes must include: • All construction -related work (except for engineering or architectural design fees) • All phases of the project • Any permitting costs of the project • All labor and materials required for the project • All applicable sales and use taxes The cost estimate should not include donated materials, labor, supplies, etc. 1.10 Determine Contract Value Contract value refers to the total aggregate value of the contract, including potential renewal periods. Examples of contract value are as follows: • Example #1: A three-year contract for $40,000 per year is considered a $120,000 contract. • Example #2: A one-year, $8,000 professional services contract is renewed for an additional year at $8,000. The aggregate value of 6 the contract becomes $16,000, which requires City Council approval. 1.11 Exemptions to the Competitive Bidding Process Exemptions to this policy must be approved in writing by the City Manager when within his or her signing authority; otherwise, exemptions shall be approved by City Council. Exemptions should make good business sense and be in the best interest of the City. In all cases, it is the City's responsibility to conduct a good faith review of all available providers. Exemptions to competitive bidding requirements as provided in RCW 39.04. 80(1) and PTMC 3.46.090: • Licensed or patented goods or services • Specialized items that are compatible with existing equipment or systems (i.e. water treatment plant Sole source filters) • Meets City standards (i.e. meters) • Factory -authorized warranty services • Meets a specialized need of the City • Items of special design shape, or manufacture that Purchases involving match or fit existing equipment, inventory, systems, special facilities or programs, or services market conditions .

See Section 2.4 (Piggybacking) Exem tion process. Complete a written request to the City Manager or City Council (depending on signing authority) explaining why this option is the only option, makes good business sense, and is in the best interest of the City. Explain what features, knowledge, or qualifications the vendor can provide that are not available from other sources. Outline steps taken to verify that this is the only vendor available, which could include: (1) internet search (2) calls to vendors or contractors on MRSC rosters (3) advertisement in paper with a "Notice of Intent to Contract" (4) advice from expert consultant in service area This request should be signed by the requestor. Use the Sole Source Justification Form if applicable. 1.12 Declared Emergency For purposes of this section "emergency" means unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of the City that either: (a) present a real, immediate threat to the proper performance of essential functions, or (b) will likely result in material loss or damage to property, bodily injury, or loss of life if immediate action is not taken. Competitive bidding may be waived subject to the following process: 1. Staff (usually a department head) identifies an urgent need and requests that the City Manager declare an emergency. 2. Upon approval from the City Manager, the department authorizes work and/or equipment procurement required to address the emergency. 3. Department drafts a memorandum explaining the basis for the emergency and the selection of the particular vendor. This memorandum should be included in the contract file. 4. Request that the Legal Department draft a contract. 5. Department schedules the contract award on next City Council agenda. City Attorney and department head prepare materials necessary to ratify the emergency declaration finding. 8 2.1 Initiate a New Procurement The City makes many small and large purchases over the course of the year and must comply with State and local laws for each type of procurement, based on type of work, dollar limits, and level of risk involved. See the matrix at the beginning of this manual for a summary of the types of new procurements typically performed at the City of Port Townsend. City staff may also initiate new procurements through purchasing card purchases (see Section 6.0) and by requesting reimbursement for purchases made with the employee's personal funds. It is recommended that employees use a purchasing card for small purchases whenever practicable and allowed by City policy. 2.2 Purchases of Goods, Supplies, & Equipment 2.2 (a) SMALL Purchases of Goods, Supplies, & Equipment ($7,500 or less) Small purchases of goods, supplies, materials, and equipment $7,500 or less can be made using one of the following processes: BN/, �� IS a 'i INW1110111611111' Purchasing Card (see Contact Business -related Alcohol, capital Section 6.0) Finance if you purchases of equipment, cash need to know goods and advances, consulting It is strongly recornmended your limits. services (i.e., services, personal you use a city purchasing subscriptions, items, professional card ors. personal credit card Sample limits: seminars, meeting services, meals while All receipts must be retained $500 single supplies, traveling and turned into supervisor purchase; maintenance, for approval. $150o repair, monthly billing operations, office cycle limit supplies, computer Exceptions may peripherals, be made with software the Finance subscriptions) Director's approval Personal/employee Up to $1,000 Incidentals such Reimbursement as postage, ferry Personal credit tolls, parking fees, card use must hotel fees, CDL be approved by license, etc. dept. head.

Regular business - related goods and services Capital expenditures Although there are no bidding requirements for goods purchases between $500 and $7,500, it is recommended that City staff obtain estimates from three vendors, preferably off the MRSC Vendor Roster. Staff may also use a State contract or interlocal agreement ("piggybacking"). The applicable department head or designee has invoice signing authority. Purchases of goods under $500 do not require quotes, but staff may solicit estimates from the MRSC Vendor Roster or use a State contract or interlocal agreement ("piggybacking"). The applicable department head or designee has invoice signing authority. All payments made by a check issued by the Finance Department require a W-9 from the vendor. 2.2 (b) INTERMEDIATE Purchases of Goods, Supplies, & Equipment ($7,501-$15 ) Purchases of goods, supplies, materials, and equipment from $7,501 to $15,000 should be made using a purchase order if over $10,000 and a vendor invoice for payment. Purchases in this category could also be made using a State contract, interlocal agreement, or formal sealed bidding. Employees may not use a purchase card or personal payment for reimbursement unless previously approved by their department head and within card limits. When making purchases from $7,501 and $15,000, staff should obtain at least three telephone or written quotations from vendors on the MRSC 10 Vendor Roster. The applicable department head has invoice signing authority. A purchase order or written agreement may be required. Check with the Finance Department for additional requirements. All purchases in this category require a W-9 from the vendor. 2.2 (c) LARGE Purchases of Goods, Supplies, & Equipment ($15,001 or more) Per RCW "3' 23,35(), any purchase of material, supplies, and equipment with a cost exceeding $15,000 requires formal, competitive bidding or the use of a State contract or interlocal agreement.

The City Manager has signing authority for purchases less than $30,000. All purchases totaling $30,000 or more require City Council approval. Consider the entire cost of the purchase for all years (for example, maintenance costs) involved when determining the approval level. Contact the Finance or Legal Department with questions on total contract value. All purchases in this category require a W-9 from the vendor. 2.3 Food and Beverage Purchases Generally, consuming food and beverages at public expense will be discouraged. The consumption of nourishment is ordinarily regarded as private and personal and not a public activity. (This includes light snacks.) In the occasion where food and beverages are approved for purchase, in all circumstances the department head and/or the City Manager must pre - approve the purchase(s) and the department must have adopted budget appropriations. The following outlines circumstances when the City will provide for the consumption of food and beverages: 1. Meal reimbursements while in travel status. Please refer to the City of Port Townsend Personnel Policy Manual, Section 5.7 for meal per diem policies. 2. Light refreshments and/or meals maybe purchased by the City when: 12 • Employees or officials attend a special meeting, training, or similar circumstance where the purpose of the event is to discuss City business, AND • It provides benefit to the City, AND • The refreshments are an integrallnecessaryl2art of the meetin or tralnin session for the em to ee or official to receive the full benefit of the meetin and 'or training. (e.g., a working breakfast, lunch, or dinner), AND • The meeting or training session takes place away from the employee or official's regular workplace, AND • Receipts for actual costs of the refreshments/meals are kept with documentation of who was in attendance and the ur ose of the rrlei'tln raiClins ' ion. 3. In emergency situations when a department head determines that employees or intergovernmental employees performing critical City functions must remain at their workplaces, providing refreshments/meals will be allowed if the department head pre - approves the purchase. 4. Meals and/or refreshments for employee, official, volunteer, wellness, public, or occasional appreciation events when: • The City Manager and/or department head has approved the purchase(s) in advance and documentation of such is evident, AND • Receipts for actual costs are kept with documentation of who was in attendance and the purpose of the event, AND • The meal/refreshment purchases for the event is approved through budgeted appropriations. Prohibited purchases of refreshments include the following circumstances and will not be reimbursed by the City: 1. Meals and/or refreshments that were not pre -approved by the department head and/or the City Manager. 2. Meals and/or refreshments that were not approved in budgeted appropriations. 3. Purchase of alcoholic beverages. 13 2.4 Piggybacking (State Contracts and Interlocal Purchasing Agreements) 1ae�ct Pl laacira Process The City has signed a master contract with the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (DES) to use the State's contracts for goods and services. When using a State contract, we are "piggybacking" off their competitive process, eliminating the need to perform our own. The City encourages the use of these contracts whenever possible. ����� �����I!JI�JJI�������������I 1.

State contracts include standard terms and conditions. When piggybacking off a State contract, all State contract terms and conditions apply. Contact the Legal Department if any contract terms do not suit the City's needs. Only certain particulars can be changed, such as quantity and delivery terms. Interlocal PurchgsLing reements The process described above for State contracts can also be used to purchase goods and services through other agencies' contracts. However, the following additional steps must be taken by City staff: 1. Read the other agency's contract carefully to confirm that it allows other agencies to use it. 2. Document that the purchase was made according to the other agency's bidding requirements and our bidding requirements. Contact the Legal Department for assistance. This is best done by 14 requesting and retaining copies of all bid documents from the other agency. 3. Confirm that the City has a current interlocal purchasing agreement with the agency before making the purchase. 4. If we do not have an agreement, contact the purchasing coordinator at the other agency to request one. Contact the Legal Department for assistance in processing the agreement. Note: Be particularly careful about documentation when piggybacking off a contract from an out-of-state agency or a different type of agency (for example, a school district or port district). The authorization limits shown on the matrix at the beginning of this manual apply to purchases through State contracts and Interlocal Agreements. 2.5 Public Works Bid Limit: According to 1', v/V rI" a second-class city, such as Port Townsend, may construct a public work by contract or by day labor (City staff) without calling forbids when the estimated cost of the work will not exceed $116,155 if more than one trade is involved or $75,500 if a single trade is involved. When the cost of a public work exceeds these figures, the project should be done by contract through formal sealed bidding, except that the City may use the small works roster process for projects up to $350,000. Determinine the Cost of a Public Work: The total construction cost of each project must be estimated in order to correctly apply bid limit dollar amounts to determine if a public works project must be competitively bid. This estimate may be prepared by an outside third party; however, the final cost estimate must be validated by the City. The total construction cost (estimated as if the project were to be bid) should include materials, supplies, equipment, and labor for that project AND applicable sales and use taxes. However, the value of volunteer labor, donated materials, or donated equipment need not be included in the cost estimate for a public works project, as these are not a cost to the City. For projects completed by any means other than a contract or small works roster process (for example, using City workers) having an estimated cost exceeding $25,000, the City must publish a description of the project and its estimated cost in the official newspaper at least fifteen days before beginning work, as required by R 1r1 1s Acid S _it. : k �vv '.' _ �,,µ.' �.�;'J) prohibits the division of a project into units of work or classes of work to avoid the restriction on work that may be performed by day labor on a single project. Small Works Roster: When the estimated cost of a public works project is $350,000 or less, the City may follow the small works roster process for construction of a public work or improvement as an alternative to the general competitive bidding requirements, in accordance with �( `/.m �'ai �� �m r. The City of Port Townsend has contracted with the Ui for use of its statewide electronic database for small public works contractors, vendors, and consultants. Publication: At least once a year, on behalf of the City, MRSC publishes notice in local newspapers of the existence of the rosters and solicits the names of contractors for the rosters. Responsible contractors can be added to the appropriate MRSC roster(s) at any time that they submit a written request and necessary records. The City may require contracts to be signed when project awards are made using a small works roster. 2.6 Limited Small Works Process (Public Works Projects under $50, ) If a public work, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement project is estimated to cost less than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), the City may use the limited public works process instead of formal, competitive bidding, as provided in RCW 39.04.155(3). Process: 1. Develop a scope of work describing the nature of the work to be performed and materials and equipment to be furnished. Detailed plans and specifications need not be included in the invitation. 2. Solicit at least three contractors on the MRSC Small Works Roster for the applicable category or categories. Requests for estimates should include the date, time, and location to return the estimate. Notify contractors that: a. they must pay prevailing wage; b. the City must equitably distribute opportunities among contractors in the geographic area; c. the City will require a performance bond and a payment bond, each for the total cost of the project; and 16 d. the City will hold 5% retainage until releases are received from the State (RCW 60.28.011), unless waived by staff member with contract signing authority. Note: The City staff member with contract signing authority may waive the bond and retainage requirements; however, contractors must be notified about this waiver in the request for estimates and/or advertisement for the project. Note: If payment and performance bonds are required, the contractor may choose to have 10% retainage held instead of obtaining bonds. 3. Determine the lowest responsive, responsible bid. 4. Send the Legal Assistant copies of all estimates or a list of all contractors contacted and their bid amounts. (We are required by law to maintain a list of contractors contacted under the limited public works process.) 5. The Legal Assistant will make sure the contractor meets all bidder criteria and will draft a contract. 6. If project total is over staff signing authority, contact the City Clerk to schedule contract approval on an upcoming City Council agenda. 7. After Council approval, send the draft contract to the contractor along with a request for items identified by the Legal Assistant (for example, W-9 and proof of insurance). Note: All projects require a W-9 from the contractor. Alternative to Process» Local governments may waive retainage but must assume liability of contractors for non-payment. The local government has the right of recovery from the contractor. 2.7 Small Works Roster Process (Public Works Projects $350,000 or less) If a work, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement project is estimated to cost $350,000 or less, the small public works process may be used instead of formal, competitive bidding, as allowed by �4 Process: 1. Develop a scope of work describing the nature of the work to be performed and materials and equipment to be furnished. Detailed plans need not be included be included in the invitation. 17 Note: For projects totaling $250,000-$350,000, all contractors in the applicable category must be notified that the project is being bid, even if they are not invited to bid. 2. Contact at least five contractors on the MRSC Small Works Roster for the applicable category or categories. Requests for estimates should include the date, time, and location to return the estimate. Notify contractors that: a. they must pay prevailing wage; b. the City will require a payment bond and a performance bond, each for the total cost of the project; and c. the City will hold 5% retainage until releases are received from the State (RCW 60.28.011). Note: The City staff member with contract signing authority may waive retainage requirements; however, contractors must be notified about this waiver in the request for estimates and/or advertisement for the project. Note: For projects totaling $150,000 or less, the contractor may choose to have 10% retainage held instead of obtaining bonds. Note: The city will retain the right of recovery from the contractor if retainage is waived. 3. Determine the lowest responsive, responsible bid. 4. Send the Legal Assistant or Engineering staff (for capital projects) the estimate for the lowest bid and expected project dates. (The City's "Small Works less than $350,000 Documentation Form" may be used.) 5. The Legal Assistant or Engineering staff will make sure that the contractor meets all bidder criteria and will draft a contract. 6. Contact the City Clerk to schedule the contract approval for an upcoming City Council meeting. 7. Draft agenda bill and resolution, if applicable, and send to City Attorney for review. 8. After Council approval, send the draft contract to the contractor along with a request for items identified by the Legal Assistant or Engineering staff, such as proof of insurance and a W-9. 2.8 Formal, Competitive Bid Process (Required for Public Works Projects over $350, ) Formal, competitive bidding must be used for all public works projects over $350,000; however, it may also be used for any projects below this threshold. Competitive bidding is designed to prevent favoritism in awarding public work contracts and to enable local governments to obtain 18 the best work or supplies at the most reasonable prices. It is also designed to provide a fair forum for bidders and to protect the public interest. Biddin roc ss: 1. Coordinate with Accountant in Finance if using grant or federal funds. 2. Draft or work with consultant to draft bid package and send to City Attorney for review. 3. Draft a notice to bid, stating the nature of the work. 4. Notify bidders that bids must be sealed, and a 5% bid deposit is required, in the form of a cashier's check, postal money order, or surety bond. 5. Have the notice to bid published in the City's official newspaper (currently The Leader) at least 13 days prior to the date bids are due. Staff may choose to publish notice in additional newspapers, such as the Daily Journal of Commerce. 6. Post the bid on Builder's Exchange. 7. City Administration receives and date and time stamps sealed bids. 8. Hold a public bid opening after the bid deadline closes. 9. Identify the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Note: If the contract is not awarded to the lowest bidder, a full and complete statement of the reasons for selecting another bidder must be prepared, approved by the City Manager, and retained in the file, See RCW 35..3.352 2 or Section 2.15. 10. Notify the City Clerk to add approval of the project contract to an upcoming City Council agenda. 11. Draft an agenda bill and resolution, if applicable. Ask the City Attorney to review. 12. Following Council approval, ask the Engineering Dept. (capital projects) or Legal Assistant (other projects) to draft a contract. 13. Send draft contract to contractor with request for additional items identified by Engineering staff or the Legal Assistant. 14. After the contract has been fully signed, send a copy to the contractor and return all bid bonds, except for the one submitted by the successful bidder. 2.9 Equipment Purchases Including Installation prohibits the division of a public works project into units of work or classes of work to avoid the restriction on work that may be performed by day labor on a single project. Occasionally projects include the direct purchase of equipment separate from the installation. For example, the City purchases equipment for 19 $50,000 off a State contract, and the installation is estimated to cost $25,000. Because we cannot split public works into units to avoid the bidding process, we must combine the cost of the two purchases and treat them as one to establish the "project cost." In this example, the cost of the entire project is $75,000 (equipment @ $50,000 + installation @ $25,000), which exceeds the City's limited public works bid threshold of $50,000. Therefore, the public work installation must be awarded using the small works process or formally bid (see Sections 2.7 and 2.8 above). The purchase of the equipment can be made using the State contract (see Section 2.4 above). What kind of contract do we use? For this project, because the public works installation is under $350,000, we would use a small public works contract. Usual contract requirements that apply to small public works projects apply to this project. Because the total project cost is $75,000, this contract would have to go to City Council for approval. There are so many variables to this type of purchase that it would be difficult to highlight every possible scenario. Please contact the Finance Department or Legal Department for assistance. At royal Process: Refer to the Public Works section of the matrix at the beginning of this manual. 2.10 Unit Priced Contracts RCM! 3M 2 allows the City to use unit priced (or on -call) contracting for public work projects that are expected to happen on a recurring basis, such as tree trimming, road resurfacing, or public facility maintenance. Unit priced contracts means a competitively bid contract in which public works are anticipated on a recurring basis to meet the business or operational needs of the city or town, under which the contractor agrees to a fixed period indefinite quantity deliver}, of work, at a defined unit price for each category of work. Whenever possible, the city must invite at least one proposal from a certified minority or women contractor who otherwise qualifies. Unit priced contracts must be executed for an initial contract term not to exceed three years, with the city or town having the option of extending or renewing the unit priced contract for one additional year. Invitations to bid for these contracts shall include, for purposes of the bid evaluation, estimated quantities for the anticipated types of work and specify how T the City will issue or release work assignments, work orders, or task authorizations based on the hourly rates or unit prices bid by the contractor. Contracts must be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Unit priced contractors shall pay prevailing wages and update rates annually. Intents and affidavits for prevailing wages paid must be submitted annually for all work completed within the previous twelve-month period of the unit -based contract. Note: 7 he Cite is also allowed (by li-(, j � w.l� ? to obtain public works services byJob order conti acts; however; these contracts are for a broader scope than unit priced contracting and require that 90% of the work be performed bj, subconlyaclors. Please consult with the City Attorney for more information. 2.11 Services There are three types of services that the City may need to obtain: 1. Professional services (also called personal services) are provided by independent contractors with specialized knowledge, advanced education, professional licensing, or certifications; the primary service provided is mental or intellectual, involving the consistent exercise of judgment and discretion. 2. General services (also known as purchased services) include all service - related work not considered a public work or professional service. Most often these are routine in nature (i.e. yearly, monthly, weekly, etc.). Examples include courier services, weeding, and vehicle inspection services. State law does not require a competitive process for the selection of general services, with the exception of the City newspaper. 3. Architectural, engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture services (A&E) are addressed in Section 2.12 below. Section 2.11 does not apply to A&E services. The City uses MRSC's Consultant Roster, which distinguishes architectural and engineering services as defined in RCW 39.80.020 from other consulting services. Consultants can be added to the appropriate roster when they submit a written request and necessary records to MRSC. The City reserves the right to publish an announcement on each occasion when professional or other services are required. To ensure a more competitive process, the City has adopted tighter standards for selection of service providers than required by State law. Unless the City Manager approves in writing an exemption based on the best interests of the City, staff shall follow these guidelines for selection of professional or general services: 21 • Under $5,000— No competitive process required. It is still incumbent on the department to ensure that the price is reasonable, and the provider is qualified. It is recommended to request prices, schedules, and qualifications from three consultants on the MRSC Consultant Roster. • $5,000 to $9,999 — It is highly recommended to request prices, schedules, and qualifications from at least three consultants on the MRSC Consultant Roster. • $10,000 to $19,999 — Request proposals from at least three consultants on the MRSC Consultant Roster (with one having a MWDBE classification when possible) or use an RFPJRFQ process. • $20,000 or more — Formal advertised RFP or RFQ process recommended. Note: Some general services, such as landscaping work, require payment of prevailing wages. Contact the Legal Department with questions. Contract Award Process: 1. Develop scope of work. 2. Determine budget amount for work. 3. If grant funds are involved, check the grant agreement requirements. 4. Obtain proposals or conduct formal bidding as required above. 5. Evaluate the proposals and negotiate a contract with the lowest qualified, responsible bidder. 6. If Council approval is required, contact City Clerk for meeting date. Draft agenda bill and resolution, if applicable, and send to City Attorney for review. 7. After Council approval (if required), contact the Legal Assistant with a copy of the estimate and other relevant information, such as project start and end dates. 8. Legal Assistant will prepare a draft Professional Services Agreement. 9. Send contract to service provider for review and signature, along with request for documents identified by Legal Assistant, such as W-9. 10. Forward signed contract and additional documents to Legal Assistant for processing. 11. Forward fully signed contract to contractor and arrange for project start. AAproval Limits: For the approval limits, refer to the Services section of the Purchasing Matrix at the beginning of this manual. 22 2.12 Purchases of Architectural & Engineering Services Architectural, engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture services (frequently referred to as "A&E") are to be acquired under the authority and procedures outlined in chapter RCW 39.80. RCW 39.80.030 requires that the City publish advance notice of its need for A&E services. The City may comply with this section by (1) publishing an announcement on each occasion when professional consultant services are required or (2) announcing generallyto the public its projected requirements for any category or type of professional service. A&E consultants are initially selected based upon their qualifications, rather than price (see RCW 39.80.050). The City will negotiate a contract with the most qualified firm at a price that the City determines is fair and reasonable. In making its determination, the City shall consider the estimated value of the services to be rendered, as well as the scope, complexity, and professional nature of the project. If the City is unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the selected firm for a price the City determines to be fair and reasonable, negotiations shall be terminated, and the City shall begin negotiations with the next highest qualified firm. There are two ways to select an A&E firm based upon their qualifications: 1. Roster statement of qualifications (SOQ) review — Select three or more consultants from the MRSC Consultant Roster in the relevant service category and evaluate their qualifications. Documentation of the three reviews is required. Minority -owned, women -owned, and veteran -owned firms must be given the maximum practicable opportunity to compete for these contracts. 2. Project -specific request for proposals (RFP) — Use the MRSC Consultant Roster to send out an RFP and request for qualifications (RFQ) to consultants in the relevant service category. Minority - owned, women -owned, and veteran -owned firms must be given the maximum practicable opportunity to compete for these contracts. Contract Award Process: 1. Develop scope of work 2. Determine budget amount for work 3. If grant funds are involved, check the grant agreement requirements 4. Public advance notice of need for services, if not already done 5. Obtain proposals or conduct formal solicitation, as described above 6. Evaluate proposals and/or statements of qualifications and select the most highly qualified firm 7. Negotiate final project scope and fees with selected firm 23 8. If project total is over City Manager signing authority, contact City Clerk to add contract approval to upcoming City Council agenda 9. After Council approval (if applicable), request that Legal Assistant draft professional services agreement 10. Obtain consultant's signature on agreement, along with proof of insurance, professional certification (if applicable), and W-9 11. Send documents to Legal Assistant for City signatures and processing Approval Limits: Refer to the matrix at the beginning of this manual. 2.13 RFPs and RFQs wz#=rom.,,. A Request for Proposals (RFP) is a method of soliciting competitive proposals for a defined scope of work. The proposals would normally include factors to measure qualifications, delivery, and service reputation, as well as price. An RFP is a formal invitation from the City to a company to submit an offer to provide a solution (or proposal) to a problem or need that the City has identified. The supplier's experience, qualifications, and solution may take precedence over the cost proposal to the City. Elements of an RFP: 1. Purpose of RFP (brief description of project) 2. Project background 3. Scope of work or statement of need 4. Goals and objectives 5. Minimum qualifications 6. Technical requirements (if any) 7. Schedule 8. Estimated project budget & request for cost proposal 9. Submittal requirements, including deadline 10. Evaluation process and criteria 11. Insurance requirements 12. Funding sources (if applicable) Evaluation criteria for the submitted proposals should relate to the project's scope of work and stated objectives and should be clearly communicated with the proposers. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is a method of soliciting competitive proposals that considers and evaluates companies on the basis of demonstrated competency and qualification rather than price. This process al is typically used for architectural and engineering services where price is not a consideration. An RFQ will generally result in negotiations. Elements of an RFQ: 1. Project background and scope of services 2. Project budget and source of funding 3. Schedule 4. Minimum qualifications 5. Submittal requirements, including deadline 6. Selection process/evaluation criteria. Information request of the respondents may include list of principals, previous projects, number of employees, and licenses or certifications. Depending upon the complexity of the project, a typical RFP or RFQ takes around 6-8 weeks to complete. Process for RFPs or RF s: 1, Identify need Develop scope of services ......� 2. ..... .........

Negotiate contract Goal: reach a mutually advantageous position on issues of concern while fulfilling requirements of contract 12. Award contract Prepare council agenda materials, if applicable, and contact Engineering or Legal Assistant for draft contract when aoaroved Bid Due Dates Time is of the essence. It is important to make the bid submittal deadline clear in the bid documents. For example: "The bid form will be received up to 3:00 p.m. on April 27, 2020. Bids received after that date and hour, based on the time on our atomic clock, will not receive consideration." For example, if a bid is due at 2:00 P.M., a bid received at: • 1:59 p.m. is on time • 2:00 p.m. is on time • 2:00:01 p.m. is late If a bidder insists on submitting a bid after the deadline and leaves it, do not open it. Make a photocopy of the bid envelope with the time stamp and immediately return the bid by certified mail, return receipt requested. %Lal Tratment of Bidden Avoid giving bidders an advantage to include: permitting bidders use of private offices and conference space for finalizing bid prices, providing envelopes for bidders to use in sealing the bid, or permitting bidders to use the agency's telephone, computer, fax, or photocopier. Avoid disclosing the names of bidders or the total number of bidders until the bid opening. Rggei in Bids hecl list • Is the bid in writing? Do not accept bids by fax, email, telephone or orally unless the bid solicitation allows for it (generally not allowed for formal, competitive bidding). • Did the bidder attend the mandatory pre -bid meeting, if applicable? • Is the bid envelope sealed? Offer tape if not sealed. • Is the correct information on the envelope? • Is the time stamp clear? • Is the time stamp prior to deadline? • All received bids should be kept in a secure and centralized location not accessible to other bidders. 26 Withdrawal & Modification of Bids • A request to withdraw or modify the bid in advance of the deadline may be received verbally or in writing. If unfamiliar with the bidder, ask for identification. • Make a photocopy of the face of the bid envelope, ensuring the bid receipt time shows up on the copy. • Have the bidder sign the photocopy with the following "Received by (signature, printed name, date, time)." • Keep the original signed photocopy. • Remove the bid receipt stamp or cross it out on the face of the bid envelope. • Return the bid to the bidder, notifying the bidder that if they choose to resubmit the bid, it must be received prior to the bid submittal deadline and stamped in again with a new time and date stamp prior to the deadline. Modh:inz Bids from a Distance The bidder may submit additional information modifying a previously submitted bid if the modification is: • Received in writing. • Signed by an authorized representative of the bidder. • Received prior to the bid receipt deadline. • In a sealed envelope. • Clear in stating what prices are being changed. Subcontractor's List Due either with the bid or within one hour of the bid submittal deadline (RCW 39.30.060). q enin the ids Bids should be opened in a public meeting. Read each bid before opening the next one. Consider using one person to open the bids and a second person to read. The project manager staff should record the prices on a bid tabulation form. The bid reader should state publicly all the information noted in looking at the bid, without passing judgment whether it is responsive or non -responsive, to include: • Name of bidder • Is bid form signed? • Bid amount • Is bid guaranty included? • Are addenda acknowledged? • Is subcontractor's list included? 27 The bids will be evaluated for responsiveness after the bid opening. If a contractor wishes to review the bids after the bid opening, allow only one contractor at a time to review the bids in a monitored environment. 2.15 No Bids or Non-Responsive/Responsible Bids or Submittals No Bids or Submittals Received: As provided in RCW 35.23.352(1), in the event the City does not receive any bids or submittals on the first call, the City has three options: (1) re -advertise and make a second call, (2) enter into a contract with any qualified contractor, or (3) purchase the supplies, materials, or equipment and perform such work and improvement by day labor (City staff). Before determining which option would best fit, the department should conduct a survey of the registered bidders or proposers or any other known interested parties to determine: 1) why they didn't they submit, 2) whether the City's document too restrictive or too complex, 3) if there ample time to submit, and 4) if there too many open questions before the due date. The City Attorney may be consulted for additional assistance in determining the best option. Determinin Lowest Res rnsikale Bidder: The City should award the contract for a public works project to the lowest responsible bidder, unless the lowest bid is above the budget for the project. In that case, all bids may be rejected, and the City may call for new bids. A responsible bidder shall be a registered and/or licensed contractor who meets the mandatory bidder responsibility criteria established by RCW 39.04.350 and who meets any supplementary criteria established by the City. According to RCW 35.23.352(2), the City may award a contract to the second lowest bidder if: (1) the bid is within five percent of the lowest bid, (2) the second lowest bidder meets the same criteria as the lowest bidder, AND (3) the City has issued a written finding to the lowest bidder within the last three years that the lowest bidder was late, over budget, or did not meet specifications, and the City has not found in writing that the lowest bidder has shown how they would improve performance. Non -Res onsive and or Not -Res onsible: The City shall draft bidder responsibility criteria that are based upon clear business reasons, and the criteria must not be overly restrictive of the bidding pool. Note that in Washington State, a bidder who objects to the 28 supplemental bidder responsibility criteria may request that the City modify the criteria before the bid submittal deadline. Bids may be rejected as non -responsive for a multiple of material factors, including lack of subcontractor's list when required (for contracts in excess of $1M or contracts of three or more trades), insufficient bid guarantees, bids submitted after the deadline, qualified bids, and/or lack of acknowledgement of addenda. In general, a material irregularity is required before the bid may be deemed non -responsive (defined as any variance which provides "a bidder substantial advantage or benefit not enjoyed by others"). In the event the City receives a bid or submittal on the first call that is deemed non -responsive or non -responsible, the department shall consult with the City Attorney to determine whether it is a material or immaterial irregularity. Each project will be evaluated on a case -by -case basis. Bid Protest: The City follows the bid protest guidelines established in RCW 39.04.105. 2.16 Contracting 101 A contract is a written agreement between two or more people or entities to accomplish a specific outcome. In a public purchasing context, a contract is an agreement by a vendor or contractor to provide goods or services to the City in return for receiving payment from the City. The following is an overview of the contract process: Invitation: • A solicitation (ITB, ITO, or RFP) is an invitation to a contractor to make an offer. • These are most often directed at multiple parties and outline the needs of the City. Offer: • The contractor's returned quote/bid/proposal is their offer to the City to perform the work, outlining what and how much. • The offer shows that the contractor is willing to agree to specific terms. • The offer is given to a particular party. • The contractor has made an offer to do what the City requested for a specific price. Acceptance: • The City must now accept one of the offers. 29 • The acceptance is a communication showing agreement to the exact terms of the offer or a contract. • Contracts must show that the offer made by the contractor has been accepted, usually by attaching the contractor's estimate or scope of work and fee schedule. 30 3.1 Rule 171— Sales Tax Exemptions Normally sales tax applies to every sale of tangible personal property (and some services) to all persons, including cities. Thus, for bid limit purposes, the tax must be included when determining the cost of a public work or when calculating the cost of materials, supplies, and equipment purchases separately from a public work. However, there are some sales and use tax exemptions for certain public work projects. The exemptions include: 1. Labor and services rendered for the building, repairing, or improving of any street, place, road, highway, easement, right-of-way, mass public transportation terminal or parking facility, bridge, tunnel, or trestle owned by a city or town which is used primarily for pedestrian or vehicle traffic ( RCW 82.04.050(10). See also WAC 458-20-171, nicknamed "Rule 171.") Materials used in constructing these projects are not exempt from the sales and use tax. 2. Labor and services for the processing and handling of sand, gravel, and rock taken from City pits and quarries when the material is for publicly -owned road projects ( RCW 82.08.0275 and WAC 458-20- 171 ). 3.2 Prevailing Wages What are m ailin wa es The Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) requires that workers be paid prevailing wages when employed on all public works, public building service maintenance, and contracted maintenance, based upon the classification of labor performed. Prevailing wages are defined as the hourly wage, usual benefits, and overtime paid in the largest city in each county, to the majority of workers, laborers, and mechanics. Prevailing wages are established by the Department of Labor and Industries for each trade and occupation 31 employed in the performance of public work. They are established separately for each county and are reflective of local wage conditions. What are the res onslblities of the Ci when contractin for ublic works? The City, in awarding a contract, must make the determination of whether that contract involves "public work" and communicate it to contractors in the bid specifications and contracts. What rovlsions must be made for revailin wa e? Awarding agencies must stipulate in bid specifications and contracts for public work that workers shall receive the prevailing rate of wage. Those documents must either contain a list of the applicable prevailing wage rates or a link to the rates on L&I's website. If including a link, print the current rates and keep with the project file. What are the ublic buildmn service maintenance contract re uirements? Public building service maintenance {janitorial} contracts of more than one- year duration must include wage language recognizing the potential for future variance in applicable prevailing wages each year after the first year of the contract. What are awardin a en re ulrements when disbursin ublc funds? Agencies may not make any payments where contractors have not submitted an Intent to Pay Prevailing Wage form that has been approved by L&I. Agencies may not release final payment until all contractors have submitted an Affidavit of Wages Paid form that has been certified by L&I. The requirement to submit these forms should also be stated in the contract. What are the contractors fl[in re uirement;s? Public work contracts require that each and every contractor and subcontractor on the project file the "Statement of Intent to Pay Prevailing Wages" and "Affidavit of Wage Paid" forms. is there a minimum contract amount for a contractor to file? There is no minimum dollar contract amount. Intent and Affidavit forms are required for every public works contract regardless of the size of the contract. When does the contractor file an Intent? The Intent form is filed immediately after the contract is awarded and before work begins, if that is possible. When does the contractor file an Affidavit? The Affidavit form is not filed until after all the work is complete. 32 3.3 Retainage What is the ur % of retai�na The City retains a portion of the contract amount for public works contracts as a trust fund to pay any claims associated with the contract and/or for payment of amounts due by the contractor to the Department of Labor and Industries, the Employment Security Department, and the Department of Revenue (RCW 60.28.011). What level of retains a %s r uq it d The City generally retains 5% of the contract amount. However, for contracts awarded by the small works roster process and totaling less than $150,000, contractors may opt to have 10% retained in lieu of a obtaining a performance bond. The City may alternatively choose to waive retainage requirements for any small works roster contracts. Retainage is not held for projects funded by federal transportation funds. What are the retsina e o Lions? The City retains the funds in a City fund, unless otherwise requested by the contractor. A contractor may choose to have the funds deposited by the City into an interest -bearing account or placed by the City in escrow with a bank or trust company. If the escrow option is selected, contact the City Attorney for an escrow agreement. When can retains a btreleased? Retained funds will be released after final acceptance of the project and after the City has received all releases from the De artment of Revenue, the De artment of Labor and Industries and the Em to ment Securit De rtmnt. Upon receipt of all releases, the project manager should notify the Legal Assistant to release the funds. For projects under $35,000, the retained funds will be released when the Department of Labor and Industries has approved the contractor's Affidavit of Wages Paid. Is the Cit liable fbr a rrtent of ro'e t costs to subcontractors if wsivin retainage? Local governments may waive retainage but must assume liability of the contractor's non-payment. The Local government does retain the right to recovery from the contractor. 33 4.1 Risk Management Considerations The City enters into numerous contracts throughout the year. These contracts involve risk. City property can be damaged. Employees of the City, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers can be injured. Members of the public can be harmed. These and other accidental losses can arise during and as a result of the activities during the contract fulfillment process. The City seeks to transfer responsibility to such events to those with whom it contracts. The City's approach to contracting is designed and managed to avoid undue exposure to risk with exceptions where it makes good business sense. Certificates of insurance and endorsements naming the City as an additional insured are required from all contractors and consultants who contract with the City. Verification of appropriate insurance requirements shall be completed prior to signing of the contract by the City. Any waiver of insurance requirements requires the approval of the person with signing authority for the contract (generally the City Manager). Contact the City Attorney with questions about insurance requirements or for advice on the risk of a requested waiver. 4.2 Payment Options Prior to contract award, payment terms should be identified to determine the most effective compensation method. The most common include: ogrl Time anMaterials. The City pays a fixed hourly rate and pays for the cost of certain specific services and/or materials. For certain professions, such as consultants, this is the standard option. Time and materials contracts should have a ceiling amount or a not to exceed amount included. This type of payment term may be used if the City is unable to clearly define the level of effort required to accomplish the objectives. A time and materials contract places most of the risk on the City and little on the contractor and provides no positive profit incentive to the contractor for cost control or labor efficiency. Frequent contract monitoring is required to ensure that the number of hours is kept to a reasonable level. 34 M The contractor receives a fixed amount or lump sum payment based on terms established in the contract. Typically, payment is tied to a completion of agreed upon performance achievements. Other alternatives are possible, such as progress payments made to compensate for activities conducted over the specific period of the contract. This type of contract should generally establish a minimum allowable level of compensation. With this method of compensation, the City may not be required to pay if specific terms in the contract are not met and thus the risk is placed on the contractor. A cost reimbursement method of compensation has a higher risk for the City because it reimburses the contractor for all costs incurred under the terms of the contract. To prevent overpayment, allowable cost provisions should be clearly identified. Contract managers should consider including a contract provision for a maximum allowable compensation level for the contract period and budget. Cost reimbursement contracts generally require more fiscal pre -planning and monitoring than other methods. Performance Based: These contracts are based on attainment of a specific outcome. The rate of compensation is generally negotiated based on cost information provided by the contractor. Generally, performance -based contracts identify the maximum allowable compensation. This allows the Cityto define the quality of services in terms of performance standard and pay accordingly. Performance based contracts differ from time and materials or fixed price contracts in that if the quantifiable quality of service is low, the payment may be reduced or withheld. This requires a higher level of reporting from the contractor to the City. The contractor primarily assumes the risk because the City does not pay if performance levels are not met. 4.3 Contract Execution & Administration Contract Execution: The contract is fully executed when all authorized parties have signed it. Upon execution, signed copies of the contract should be provided to all interested parties including, at a minimum, the contractor and Legal Assistant. Contract Administration: Contract administration means any activity related to contracting, including the decision to contract, contractor screening, contractor selection, contract 35 preparation, contract monitoring, auditing and post contract follow up. Typical responsibilities of the project manager include: • Understanding the contract, including the specific contract obligations and performance indicators by which performance will be monitored. • Assessing the risks related to the project before soliciting proposals and contracting to determine the extent of the monitoring required. • Ensuring the contractor has a clear understanding of how the contract will be managed and monitored. • Providing the contractor with guidance and technical assistance, as needed, to promote effective contract performance. • Identifying the extent and source of funding for services provided. • Monitoring the contractor's activities to ensure quality service delivery. Ensuring funding is used only for authorized purposes. • Reviewing invoices and verifying that delivery of services is rendered. • Resolving issues or problems that arise during the contract. • Measuring and tracking satisfaction with contractor performance. • Complying with State and City rules and regulations. • Documenting the contract to validate that effective contract management has occurred. • Instructing the contractor to begin work before the contract is executed and approved. • Changing the description, scope, period of performance, or cost of the contract without processing a written amendment. • Directing the contractor to do work that is not specifically described in the contract. • Signing a contractor's contract form (some exceptions apply) • Authorizing payment to the contractor for any work not performed satisfactorily. • Paying for the same or similar services more than once. 4.4 Contract Monitoring - Perliormance Monitorin Contract Performance: Monitoring means any planned, ongoing, or periodic activity that measures and ensures contractor compliance with the terms, conditions, and requirements of a contract. The level of monitoring should be based on a risk assessment of the contractor's role in delivering the services and the contractor's ability to deliver under the terms of the contract. 36 • 4V ». . • . 3RI=MWM .,iim • • Complying with the terms and conditions of the contract and applicable laws and regulations. • In compliance with the contract through identifying and resolving potential problems and providing constructive, timely feedback. • Adhering to the project schedule and making appropriate progress toward the expected results and outcomes. • Providing the quality of service expected. Monitorin Activities INIa IncNu • Periodic contractor reporting — Require the contractor to submit progress reports or other appropriate data or reports, based on pre- defined criteria, and review the contractor's reports for verification of services provided and adherence to the contract. Substandard performance should be identified and addressed timely and appropriately. • Invoice review — Compare billings with the terms agreed upon in the contract. Ensure the costs being charged are within the contract parameters. • Other periodic contact with contractor — On -site visits to maintain contact with the contractor to review progress on a regular basis. Good contract monitoring includes a continuous dialogue with the contractor. 4.5 Contract Monitoring - Payment Reviewing Invoices far P rnent: Contract payment is the process by which the contractor submits invoices for reimbursement for services and receives payments. The contract manager must carefully review the contractor's request for payment to verify the accuracy of all charges. Considerations: • Are the hours/costs commensurate with the services or deliverables received? • Is the service period identified on the invoice and were the services rendered prior to contract expiration? • Do the rates invoiced match the rates stated in the contract? • Has the necessary documentation been included to verify charges accurately? Is there enough money remaining on the contract? • Reimbursable expenses. Below are the recommended reimbursable expenses: o Travel o Mileage 37 o Food o Miscellaneous expenses If charges are acceptable, the contract manager submits a claim approval form for payment. Payment terms are 30 days from date of invoice. 4.6 Amendments & Change Orders Amendments: Amendments are changes to service contracts. Changes to contracts may be processed as amendments, rather than new contracts, but only if the changes are within the general scope of the original contract. Ch n a Girders. A change order is the formal document that alters some condition of the contract documents. The change order may alter the contract price, schedule of payments, completion date, terms and conditions, or the plans and specifications. Change orders are changes to public works contracts and reflect unforeseen conditions that must be addressed to meet the contract requirements and without which the work requested in the original contract could not be completed. Minor modifications that do not materially affect the scope or cost of the contract, such as address changes or staff changes, do not require a formal change order but should be documented in writing. These situations should be distinguished from extra work that could stand on its own and is outside and independent of the contract, in which case a new competitive bid process is required. Appropriate uses of change orders include: Scope — Scope changes may include adding, modifying, or deleting tasks, services, or deliverables or revising specifications. Changes to scope should be well documented and include any additional costs associated with these changes. Changes that are outside the general scope of the contract or bid request are not appropriate to award through contract change orders. Such changes would have the effect of making the work performed substantially different from the work defined at the time the original contract was awarded. Terms and Conditions —Changed conditions could include price variations in commodities. Cost — If the cost of the contract is increased or decreased, document reasons for change (e.g.: scope changes, changes to unit price items). Period of Performance — An extension to the contract end date is the most common change to the period of performance. Minor modifications that do 38 not materially affect the scope or cost of the contract, such as address changes or staff changes do not require a formal change order but should be documented in writing. Amendment and Chan a C+rder royal: • Amendments and change orders that do not change the total value of the agreement contract (i.e.: a new expiration date) may be signed by the City Manager or designee. • Accumulated cost changes up to 10% of the original agreement or contract amount may be approved by the City Manager or designee, if there is budget capacity and available revenues. • Accumulated cost changes greater than 10% of the original agreement or contract amount must be approved bythe City Council. Such approval establishes a new agreement or contract amount against which the above percentages apply for subsequent amendments or change orders. • The City Council may pass a resolution on an individual project giving the City Manager the authority to sign all amendments and change orders within the allotted project budget, superseding the 10% limit. .f$ M ♦ M • M • N M • II Ir • N. 1! 4.7 Contract Close -Out & Termination Contract Termination. Contracts may be terminated prior to the completion date of the contract either for convenience of the parties or for cause. Contact the City Attorney's Office for guidance when considering a contract termination. Contract termination should be done in writing and follow the process described in the contract or as advised by the City Attorney. Contract Close -Out Process: Once the contract is complete, it is critical that the project manager complete the close-out process in a timely manner and stay on a schedule. 1) Notice of Completion of Public Works Contract. Required for projects totaling $35,000 or more. The project manager should complete and file a "Notice of Completion of a Public Works Contract" form with the C artment of Revenue, Department of Labor and Industries, and MpIgyrrtent cunt De rtM-n . This form is available on L&I's website. 39 2) Receive release letters from Employment Security Department, Department of Revenue, and Department of Labor & Industries. These letters will be sent either by mail or through that department's web portal. 3) Release retainage. Once the above -mentioned letters are received, the project manager should request that the Finance Department release retainage by a memo or coversheet along with a copy of the letters received. a) Release retainage bond. If the contractor provided a bond instead of having the City hold retainage, the project manager should contact the bond issuer to release the bond. b) Escrow release. If the contractor requested that the City hold retainage in an escrow account, the project manager should provide a written release to the bank. Liens Whenever a valid lien has been filed against the retainage, the City may only release that amount of the retainage in excess of the total amount of the valid lien claims and an amount sufficient to defray the costs and attorney's fees of the claimants in foreclosing the liens. Invoices Submitted after Close-O!ut process Invoices that are submitted after contract expiration may still be paid if the following conditions apply: * Invoice or pay estimate clearly shows that services were preformed prior to contract expiration. • Sufficient funds existed prior to close-out. Every effort should be made to process invoices in a timely manner to eliminate delays and extra steps in payment processing. 40 5.1 General Information It is the policy of the City of Port Townsend to provide the best possible stewardship and management of municipal assets in the best interests of the residents of Port Townsend. PTMC Chester 3.44 sets forth the City's processes for disposition of surplus property and long-term leases. The information in this policy manual is intended summarize the code requirements. 5.2 Declaring Surplus A department head or operations manager may recommend that personal or real property under his or her control is deemed no longer to have any value and may desire to surplus that property. • If the property has an estimated value under $10,000, the City Manager may declare that it is surplus. • All personal property with an estimated value greater than $10,000, and any real property must be declared surplus by the City Council. • All personal property acquired with utility funds may be transferred to and used by a non -utility department if the property is of de minimis monetary value. Disposition of utility assets must have an administrative hearing by the City Manager. Criteria for declaring surplus is based on one or more of the following: • The City has or soon will have no practical, efficient, or appropriate use for the property, nor will it have such a use for the property in the near future. • The purpose served by the property can be accomplished by use of a better, less costly, or more efficient alternative; • The purpose served by the property no longer exists as determined by a change of policy evidenced by an ordinance or resolution of the City Council; • The property is damaged, worn out, or otherwise inoperable and the cost of repairing the same is unwise or impractical. 41 5.3 Disposition of Personal Property Departments that determine they have surplus property should first make these items or equipment available to other City departments when reasonable. If the item is no longer of value to the City, staff may do the following: • Sell or transfer the item(s) to another government agency, subject to the public notice and hearing requirements of RCW 39.33.020 for items with a value in excess of $50,000. • Auction the item(s). The originating department will be responsible for all costs associated with this option. Finance will coordinate the auction with the department representative. • Sell the item through a sealed bid process. • Trade the item(s) in for new replacement equipment. • Send the item(s) to the State surplus program. • Donate the item(s) to a non-profit that serves or benefits low-income persons or persons with disabilities. (Be sure to obtain a receipt for record retainage.) • Dispose of the item(s) in the most cost effective, efficient manner. A department head or designee that is responsible for the disposition of property or assets. They should sign the "Declaring Surplus Memo" to the City Manager. The memo should be a detailed statement of the item(s), where the asset is located, the estimated value and the recommended disposition procedure. Send the memo to the Finance Department to coordinate obtaining the City Manager's or Council's approval. Once approval has been granted to dispose of the property, the receiving individual or organization must sign an "As-is/Where-Is" Statement and/or Liability Waiver. The signed form must be forwarded to the Finance Department for record retainage. Within 24 hours of receipt, proceeds from any sale and sales tax collected will be forwarded to the Finance Department to be deposited. Sales tax will be remitted to the Department of Revenue on the next reporting cycle. Prior to sale, remove all City logos or other markings identifying the item(s) as City property from any vehicles and or equipment prior to sale. 42 5.4 Seizure Items (RCW 69.50.505) The Port Townsend Police Department follows their Asset Forfeiture Policy (Policy 601) in regards to the authority and procedures for the seizure, forfeiture and liquidation of property associated with designated offenses. 5.5 Surplus of Real Property (Land) The City Council shall make all decisions that relate to surplusage of real property in accordance with Chapters 35.94 and 39.33 RCW and whether property should be designated to meet affordable housing needs and surplused or retained for that purpose. Because real property should perform a valuable public function, the City Council should consider both current use and any foreseeable future use when surplusing real property. Pursuant to PTMC 3.44, affordable housing needs will be considered before surplusing public lands. The City Council shall hold a duly -noticed public hearing prior to disposing of real property or designating that the property may meet affordable housing needs and be surplused or retained for that purpose. All procedural guidelines shall be followed in accordance with the code. 6.1 Purchasing Cards as a Method of Payment In accordance with RCW 43.09.2855, local governments are authorized to use credit cards or procurement cards for official government purchases and acquisitions. The City of Port Townsend's purchasing card program has been established to provide a convenient, efficient means to purchase commodities and services from vendors and reduce the costs associated with a purchasing process. The City has obtained purchasing card participation in the statewide contract with US Bank as administered by the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (DES). A benefit of using the contract is that it allows the City to earn a quarterly rebate based on the volume spent and timely payment. 43 The program is designed to empower employees to purchase items needed for operational City business. It is a method used to pay for purchases and is not meant to circumvent the purchasing policies or bidding procedures. 6.2 Purchasing Card Administration Purchasing cards (p-cards) are administered by the Finance Department. The purchasing card program administrator maintains the accounts and is authorized to make necessary changes and updates, corresponds with the bank to resolve issues, orders p-cards, reconciles purchases made during the billing cycle to the bank statement, verifies accuracy of supporting documents and signatures, maintains records, and assures timely payment. All purchasing cards will have the "City of Port Townsend" embossed on the card with the cardholder's name. It is not permitted to allow anyone other than the cardholder to use a card to make purchases. Approval to participate in the purchasing card program will be determined by the applicable department head. It is recommended that employees complete their initial probationary period before being eligible to have a purchasing card issued to them. (Exceptions to this may be made with authorization from the Finance Director or Finance Manager). Prior to releasing the purchasing card to the employee, the cardholder will: 1.
