A GUIDE TO THE BUDGET
City budgets are complex and budget documents can often be intimidating to the average reader.
Hopefully, this short guide will help to take some of the mystery out of the budget, as well as
provide the reader with some background on how to use this document.
Purpose of the Budget
The budget serves multiple purposes:
A financial tool for management.
A vehicle for carrying out City Council policy and priorities.
A means of showing the public the various services and functions provided by the City.
Organizational Structure of the City
The City's financial structure is organized by fund, which is the legal level at which expenditures
cannot exceed budgetary appropriations. Each fund is then broken down into one or more
departments, which in tum are broken down into divisions. For Example, Administration and
Community Services is a department within the General Fund, which contains the following
Divisions -Executive, Budgeting & Accounting (Finance), Legal Services, Administrative
Service (City Clerk), Data Processing Operations, Recreational Service, and Facilities.
This organization provides the financial base from which to measure the delivery of services and
programs to the community, and for measuring the allocation of resources to carry out City
Council policies and priorities.
Organization of the Budget Document
The document is structured to provide the reader with increasing levels of detail at whatever
depth desired. Major sections of the budget are as follows:
First is the City Manager's budget message, which provides an executive overview of key
policies, programs, and significant financial changes in the budget for the ensuing year.
The next section is a series of summary schedules of the City budget. These schedules
summarize revenues and expenditures by fund and by major category. Some of the funds
or departments may contain informational narrative and an organizational chart that
includes a table of departmental personnel.
The Capital Improvements Projects section lists capital improvements projects budgeted
for the year.
The General Information section includes assessed value and property taxes levied for the
current and previous years, some ratios of bonded debt, debt limitations of the City,
current outstanding bonded debt, and other Utility outstanding debt.
Summary of Budgetary Process
The City of Pasco's budgetary process follows the prov1s1ons of the Revised Code of
Washington (RCW), Chapter 35.33.
During the spring and summer month's departments begin preparation of their budget request for
the coming year. Throughout this process meetings are held with appropriate staff and with the
City Manager to review the budget requests. After compiling the data, the Preliminary Budget
document is prepared. This document is made available for public review in the City Clerk's
office and at the Public Library after November 1.
The proposed budget includes the annual operating expenditures and estimated revenues, as well
as the current period appropriation of the City's five year Capital Improvements Projects (CIP).
The CIP matches available revenue sources with various street and parks projects, as well as
water and sewer system improvements and other capital improvements. It is formally updated
on an annual basis, although it is recognized that the program is continually updated and
modified on an ongoing basis. The CIP is a flexible, dynamic tool that encourages long-term
decision-making and assures the continuity of Council goals and objectives. The CIP is
reviewed by the City Council during October and is also adopted in December.
The budget for governmental funds is prepared on a modified accrual basis of accounting in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The budget for proprietary
funds is prepared on an accrual basis, also in accordance with GAAP.
During November, the City Manager presents the proposed budget to City Council in a
workshop session. Public hearings are conducted and the budget ordinance is given first and
second readings at regular City Council meetings. Final adoption of the budget occurs after the
second reading of the budget ordinance. State law directs the budget adoption by December 31.
The adopted budget constitutes the legal authority for expenditures. The level of control at
which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations is the fund. Revisions that alter the
total expenditures of any kind must be approved by the City Council and adopted by ordinance.
The City's budget is amended once during the year before year-end. All appropriations, except
for capital projects, lapse at the end of the year.

Honorable Mayor and Council:
On behalf of the entire management team, I am pleased to submit to you the preliminary budget
for fiscal year 2005. As required by state law, the budget presented herein is balanced between
revenues and expenses. In the interest of Pasco citizens, it also maintains the service levels
diligently improved over the past decade, while further improving on some.
INTRODUCTION
The 2005 budget reflects the extraordinary growth being experienced by the community. While
the growth surge continues, it also generates sufficient funds with which to provide for
increasing demands for police and fire services, more park maintenance and more capital
improvements. In short, growth is generally paying for its effect on city services and, in some
cases, is actually improving service levels being experienced throughout the community.
The development "boom" experienced over the past decade continued into 2004 and appears that
it will continue next year. The number of building permits issued this year will again exceed
2000 and the taxable value of new construction (private investment) over the past year 1s
expected to reach $200 million, surpassing even last year's record of $154 million.

Our third-largest general fund source (at nearly 20%) is the property tax: this proportion is an
anomaly, as the property tax is usually one of the two largest general fund revenue sources in
most Washington cities. At $4.28 million next year, the property tax levy will rise by $460,000
(or 12%), due solely to the extraordinary growth in assessed value generated by new
development over the past year. The 2005 property tax levy not only avoids the 1 % increase
authorized by state law (which would amount to $38,000) but, more importantly, the proposed
levy will further drive the city's property tax rate lower, by nearly 30 cents per $1,000, to a new
historical low of $2.41 per $1,000 of assessed value.
The remaining 15% of general fund revenue growth is attributable to much smaller elements.
Expected gambling tax income and cable TV franchise fees are adjusted by $50,000 each to
more accurately reflect current levels of receipts. Fines collected through Municipal Court are
also increased by $50,000 to more accurately reflect recent trends. Building permit revenues,
however, are again purposefully understated (at $600,000) to avoid any surprise when (not if)
construction levels fall off.
The beginning balance is again estimated to be $5 million (same as 2004). At that level, it
substantially exceeds the figure estimated to be on hand at the close of the operating year when
the 2004 budget was prepared ($1.6 million). The difference is principally attributable to three
factors: first, several capital projects funded by the general fund have not been completed, so the
associated dollars will be carried over to 2005 in the beginning balance; second, and of greater
impact, is the fact that actual revenue during 2004 exceeded budget projections, in some cases by
a substantial margin (for example, utility tax receipts are being realized 11 % greater than
projected); finally, the 2004 actual beginning balance was much larger than expected as well,
again due to the extraordinary revenue in certain categories. The availability of these additional
funds, much like a windfall, is a good problem to deal with, as it presents the opportunity to
address capital improvement needs as well as providing an additional level of "insurance" to
absorb unanticipated expenditures during the year.
Total expenditures (excluding ending fund balance) of the general fund next year will grow by
$1.6 million (6.7%), or slightly less than the $1.7 million growth in operating revenue. The
wages and benefits of personnel will consume virtually all of the $1.6 million increase, in the
form of cost of living adjustments and the addition of 16 new positions within the general fund.

Excluding capital outlays and debt service, the total operating expenses of the water/sewer fund
will increase by $680,000 or 10%. However, this figure is distorted by the $300,000 transfer to
the overlay fund (for overlay of Sylvester Street). Excluding the one-time transfer, true
operating expenses will increase $380,000, or 5.7%. Most of the operating increase is
attributable to increased personnel costs ($181,000), as one additional heavy equipment operator
is added to the water crew. Additional supplies (more chemicals, etc.) will push costs up by
$80,000 and other services (such as more electricity for the new irrigation pump station) will
push costs $92,000 higher. The utility fund reflects a very healthy financial condition and the
capacity to fulfill utility service demands while continuing to improve the overall system.
MEDICAL/DENTAL
Another internal service, the medical/dental fund accounts for the medical/dental benefit
payments (claims) for employees. As a "self-insured" program, benefits are provided by the
fund and the expenses are offset by revenue in the form of assessments against each operating
fund (most notably the general fund). As claims increase (with age and number of employees as
well as medical cost inflation), so must assessments.
The past year was a clear challenge for the city as Premera Blue Cross (which had provided stop-
loss insurance and network cost savings for more than 15 years) failed to offer a reasonable
package price to continue their services. Consequently, a new service provider was contracted
and, fortunately, the cost of administration (including stop-loss insurance) will raise a
comparatively modest $33,000 (10%) over 2004. The major cost driver, however, is payment of
claims which are expected to rise by $210,000 (or 15%) next year. To offset the expected rise in
claims, assessments (to operating funds and employees) will necessarily increase (about 85% to
operating funds and 15% to employees). Despite the diligent effort to manage costs, the fund
will remain on the low side of the safety margin, as the ending balance will represent slightly less
than three months worth of claims (industry standard is three to six months).

Streets: while the 2004 budget provided for five new traffic signals, the 2005 budget
contemplates adding only one new signal (at road 100 and Chapel Hill Blvd.). Burden Blvd.
(west of Road 44) will be widened (and overhead electrical lines placed underground) to include
sidewalks and the first phase of the East Lewis Street Corridor Project will be accomplished next
year (including sidewalks and landscape as well as preparation to place overhead electrical lines
underground). If the proposed 2004 pilot project for the alley paving program is supported by
the benefiting property owners, 2005 will see the first of five annual installments necessary to
pave all remaining 270 alleys in the community .
Utilities: as noted in the water/sewer fund discussion, nearly $8 million is allocated in
capital projects in 2005. Unfortunately, one of the major projects is carried over from 2004 (new
water reservoir). Another hold-over from last year is renovation of the Road 68 reservoir site
($500,000). Installation of a new transmission line between east Road 34 and West A Street
($900,000) will add reliability for the water distribution system ( a significant portion of the city
is served by one major line -the new line will provide a secondary transmission point). Sewer
projects are, again, relatively modest: northerly extension of the Road 40 sewer line (to A Street)
at a cost of about $400,000; extension of sewer at the south end of Road 68 ($200,000);
installation of the long-planned Wernett interceptor ($400,000) to make service available to the
area north of Court Street in the vicinity of Road 84; and a new lift station at Pearl Street
($200,000).
Parks: as the community develops with new subdivisions, new neighborhood parks are
essential to assure the quality of life so essential to maintenance of community values. Not only
will two new neighborhood parks be developed next year (Loviisa Farms and the neighborhood
north of Burden Blvd. and east of Road 60), three existing parks will be renovated (Highland and
Kurtzman parks in East Pasco and McGee Park on the plateau). In addition, Phase II of the
Rivershore Project will extend the Sacajawea Trail from the Cable Bridge to the Port's new trail
(linking with Sacajawea State Park). Although not a park (per se), the Sun Willows Golf Course
renovation will be considered complete with renovation of the last three ponds (water hazards).

Unfortunately, the Pasco School District must rely on property tax for new facilities as well as
operations. The District's bonding capacity (the ability to mortgage, if you will) is fixed as a
percent of the District's assessed value. Although Pasco's assessed value grew notably for
2005, Pasco remains a relatively poor district when measured as assessed value/household; that
picture worsens when measured as assessed value/student (this reflects the District's relative
financial resources per student).
Because growth in the assessed value (particularly for the school district) is so critical to the
future of the entire Pasco community ( schools are a critical element of the quality of life formula
for any community), Council has stated its past desire to cause non-residential growth in the
assessed value, to the extent practicable. Achieving such a goal requires definitive action.
Another policy initiative recommended in this budget is the creation of a new fund -called the
industrial infrastructure fund -with which the city can "put its money where its mouth is." The
new fund, as recommended, is capitalized with $1 million transferred from the long-standing Sun
Willows Development fund (which has accounted for the redevelopment of the Sun Willows
Golf Course as well as sale and development of city-owned properties in the vicinity of the golf
course). Since all the Sun Willows residential properties and half of the commercial properties
have been sold for development, the funds remaining are no longer necessary to facilitate either

amount, at a specified date or dates in the future, called the maturity date(s), together with
periodic interest at a specified rate.
Budget -A plan of financial operation embodying an estimate of proposed expenditures for a
given period and the proposed means of financing them. Used without any modifier, the term
usually indicates a financial plan for a single fiscal year. The term "budget" is used in two
senses in practice. Sometimes it designates the financial plan presented to the appropriating
body for adoption and sometimes the plan formally approved by that body. It is usually
necessary to specify whether the budget under consideration is preliminary and tentative or
whether the appropriating body has approved it.
Budgetary Control -The control or management of a government or enterprise in accordance
with an approved budget for the purpose of keeping expenditures within the limitations of
available appropriations and available revenues.
Budget Document -The instrument used by the budget-making authority to present a
comprehensive financial program to the appropriating body. In addition to the budget document,
an appropriation ordinance is necessary to formally approve the budget.
Capital Improvements Project -A plan for capital expenditures to be incurred each year over a
fixed period of years to meet capital needs arising from the long-term work program or
otherwise. It sets forth each project or other contemplated expenditure in which the government
is to have a part and specifies the full resources estimated to be available to finance the projected
expenditures.
Capital Outlays -Expenditures that result in the acquisition of or addition to fixed assets.
Division -An organizational unit within a department. Usually divisions are responsible for

services. Debts of governments include bonds, registered warrants, notes, contracts and accounts
payable.
Debt Service Fund -A fund established to account for the accumulation of resources for, and
the payment of, general long-term debt principal and interest.
Debt Limit -The maximum amount of gross or net debt that is legally permitted.
Deficit -( 1) The excess of the liabilities of a fund over its assets. (2) The excess of expenditures
over revenues during an accounting period; or, in the case of proprietary funds, the excess of
expense over income during an accounting period.

charges imposed by a government.
Liability -A debt or other legal financial obligation.
Licenses and Permits -Documents issued in order to regulate various kinds of businesses and
other activity within the community. A degree of inspection may accompany the issuing of a

is charged in conjunction with the issuance of a license or permit, generally to cover the cost of
administration.
LID -Local Improvement District or Special Assessments made against certain properties to

those properties.
Long Term Debt -Debt with a maturity of more than one year after the date of issuance.

Operating Budget -Plans of current expenditures and the proposed means of financing them.
The annual operating budget is the primary means by which most of the financing of acquisition,
spending, and service delivery activities of a government are controlled. The use of annual
operating budgets is usually required by law. Even where not required by law, however, annual
operating budgets are essential to sound financial management and should be adopted by every
government.
Operating Transfer -Routine and/or recurring transfers of assets between funds.
Organizational Chart -A graphic portrayal of relationships among positions and officials
established by the City.
142
Tax-Rate Limit -The maximum rate at which a government may levy a tax. The limit may
apply to taxes raised for a particular purpose or to taxes imposed for all purposes and may apply
to a single government or to a class of governments operating in a particular area. Overall tax
rate limits usually restrict levies for all purposes and of all governments, state and local, having
jurisdiction in a given area. The tax rate limit for general purposes for the City of Pasco is
$3.60.
Trust Funds -Funds used to account for assets held by a government in a trustee capacity for
individuals, private organizations, or other governments, and/or other funds.
