AN ORDINANCE adopting the 2006 Annual Budget and making appropriations for the operation of county agencies and departments and capital improvements for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006 and ending December 31, 2006.
body
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. Findings. The council makes the following findings of fact:
A. King County government is responsible for providing a variety of services to all residents of the county. These include: regional services, such as criminal justice, public health, wastewater treatment and public transportation; subregional services through contracts with several suburban cities for police protection, jail services and municipal court services; and local services to unincorporated areas, such as police protection, roads, surface water management, local parks and land use regulation. To provide these services, the council has adopted a 2006 budget totaling $3.46 billion, of which $580 million is in the general fund.
B. The metropolitan King County council, through the oversight of its policy, regional and budget committees and informed by a variety of master planning efforts, task forces and citizen advisory groups, works throughout the year to bring down the cost of government and improve the effectiveness of services. The 2006 budget embodies five years of council policy direction and coordination that have stabilized criminal justice spending, created priorities for human services, implemented best business practices, instituted strategic planning and performance measurement, and initiated strategic analysis of technology projects. As a consequence, the county is able to maintain a network of mandated services and needed discretionary services for the most fragile members of our society, while saving money and improving outcomes.
C. Over the past five years, the council has cut more than $130 million from the county general fund. These reductions were necessary because the costs of maintaining services have grown more quickly than revenues, creating a structural and recurring budget gap in the general fund. This structural gap has been created in part because voter-approved limits on property taxes have significantly limited revenue growth for the general fund. Although the general fund will continue to face a structural gap for the foreseeable future, the size of the structural gap has been reduced as the local economy and revenue growth have recovered and the growth of expenditures has been reduced through the initiatives and policies that the council has set in place over the last several years. Over the next few years, one-time reserves will help the county to meet expected budget needs, such as the rising cost of health care and continued investments in technology.
D. The county's prudent financial management and low level of debt have earned the highest possible bond ratings of AAA from all three major rating agencies: Standard & Poor's; Moody's Investors Service; and Fitch Ratings. The 2006 budget continues to implement long-standing financial policies that limit debt levels and maintain healthy general fund reserves. As a result, King County finances capital projects at lower interest rates, saving taxpayers' money on the cost of debt service.
E. The theme of the council's 2006 budget review process is "Measuring Up." As part of its review, the council conducted a high-level assessment of agency strategic business plans, which contain agency mission and goals, objectives and strategies for achieving the goals, and performance measures. The council found that while many county agencies have business plans, the plans vary widely in depth and breadth. Very few business plans have performance measures that can be used to make decisions about resource allocation. In 2006, the council will continue the performance measurement advisory group process with the other branches of county government to determine feasible next steps in establishing a countywide system of strategic performance measurement and reporting. In addition, the council will review selected strategic business plans and provide feedback to agencies regarding the appropriateness of goals, objectives, strategies and performance measures.
G. Consistent with the "Measuring Up" theme, the council has taken actions to improve results in the following areas: election reform, employee health benefits, criminal justice, public health, human services, technology, enterprise and capital funds, parks and open space and growth management.
H. Election Reform. Restoring public confidence in the conduct of elections has been a top priority for the council since 2003, when the council established a citizens' election oversight committee to review county election procedures. The council responded to additional problems revealed in the 2004 general election by reestablishing the citizens' election oversight committee, commissioning an independent management audit of election operations and providing for independent observation of the 2005 general election. The 2006 budget continues the council's effort to improve elections by requiring the county executive to submit a plan for improving the management and operations of elections, along with a plan for measuring the results and reporting them quarterly to the council.
I. Employee Health Benefits. King County, like other major employers, has faced double-digit increases in the cost of employee health care benefits over the last several years. The 2006 budget continues implementation of a major employee health benefits initiative designed to reduce health care costs by $40 million over three years while improving the health of employees. To make sure the plan achieves these savings, the council has required a cost-benefit analysis of the program, the submittal of annual reports measuring progress towards meeting the goals of the health benefits initiative and a quality assurance review to ensure that the measurements are valid and accurate.
J. Criminal Justice. The council has made the reform of criminal justice policy and the stabilization of criminal justice expenditures one of its highest priorities. Through Ordinance 13916, which developed the juvenile justice operational master plan, and Ordinance 14430, which developed the adult justice operational master plan, the council has met its primary responsibility to protect public safety while at the same time saving money, improving outcomes and reducing individuals' involvement in the criminal justice system. This has been accomplished by: creating alternatives such as drug court, mental health court and driver relicensing programs; emphasizing prevention over detention, thereby freeing up jail space; and reinvesting savings in housing and treatment programs that keep people out of the criminal justice system. The increased use of alternatives to incarceration breaks the cycle of crime and makes the community safer, while also allowing for more-efficient use of limited resources. Implementation of the council's policies has successfully stabilized the growth of criminal justice spending as a share of the county's overall general fund spending. Between 2000 and 2005, the adult jail population decreased by twenty percent and the juvenile detention population decreased by forty-five percent, with no increase in crime. When compared to the fifty largest jail systems in the United States, only King County has experienced policy-driven detention population declines.
1. The 2006 budget expands the county's commitment to alternatives to incarceration. The council has added funding for a new learning center in the community corrections division to provide literacy, GED and life skills training, in recognition of the results of a similar program in Multnomah County, Oregon, that reduced recidivism by more than fifty percent. In addition, the council added funding to expand the Helping Hands Initiative that helps offenders complete their court-ordered community supervision and provides thousands of hours of service free-of-charge to nonprofit agencies throughout the county.
2. To implement the council's commitment to improving security on the county's bus system, the 2006 budget dedicates twelve commissioned sheriff's deputy positions for Metro Transit security, replacing the use of off-duty officers on overtime.
3. To improve court services for families, the 2006 budget supports the county's Unified Family Court and includes new superior court commissioners and support staff who will be dedicated to resolving family law and dependency matters. In addition, the council also added a new position of district court magistrate to free up time for elected district court judges to support superior court functions. Many of these improvements are made possible because the state legislature in 2005 increased certain court filing fees and added new fees.
4. The 2006 budget funds two new initiatives in the prosecuting attorney's office: an auto theft initiative for targeted enforcement against the only type of crime that has been increasing in the county; and a cold case unit that will use new forensic tools to review five hundred unsolved homicides.
K. Public Health. In 2006, the county will spend more than $260 million in order to provide a wide variety of regional public health services that protect and promote the health of all 1.8 million citizens of King County, as well as the hundreds of thousands of workers and tourists who enter the county each day.
1. The 2006 budget continues the commitment to the public health operational master plan that the council initiated last year to develop a sustainable operational and financial framework for critical public health services. In 2005, both the council and the King County board of health adopted a work program for the master plan and will be heavily involved in undertaking that work in 2006.
2. The 2006 budget provides an additional $5.7 million in general fund support - a thirty-three percent increase - to maintain existing public health services that are threatened by lack of adequate state and federal funding. With this increase, the general fund contribution to public health services is nearly $23 million. The funds will primarily support clinical health care services for the working poor and other uninsured or underinsured individuals. If the state and federal funding and health insurance trends continue, the county will not have the general fund resources available to meet the growing demand. Through the public health operational master plan, the county seeks a sustainable solution that ensures access to clinical health care for those in need and maintains the county's ability to provide other critical and effective public health services.
3. In the 2006 budget the council ensures the provision of core public health assessment activities that protect and promote the health of all people. These activities ensure that the county tracks and analyzes health indicators critical to identifying needs and evaluating the effectiveness of intervention strategies.
4. The council finds that a clear separation should exist between the legislative functions of the board of health and the executive functions of Public Health - Seattle & King County. In the 2006 budget, the council has included funding for independent analytical staff support to assist the board of health in fulfilling its legislative oversight function.
L. Human Services. In 2006, the county will spend more than $205 million to help maintain and improve the community safety net of support, treatment and rehabilitation services for our most vulnerable residents. About ten percent of the total expenditures for human services are funded through the county general fund, with most of the remainder backed by federal and state revenues managed by the county.
1. In accordance with the recently adopted Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness, the 2006 budget increases funding that supports development of low-income and special-needs housing. The 2006 budget adds $3.75 million for new homeless housing and service projects. The budget also includes $4.1 million to remodel the vacant Cedar Hills Addiction Treatment Facility for use as a transitional housing program for women leaving correctional facilities and reuniting with their children.
2. Lack of treatment for the mentally ill increases the number of psychiatric emergencies that require more expensive and less effective public safety and emergency medical interventions. While the 2006 budget maintains funding for mental health programs at essentially the same level as 2005, this level includes funding the county hopes to obtain from the state. However, if this funding does not materialize in the next state legislative session, mental health services will have to be cut during 2006 by $9.6 million and all outpatient services for persons not enrolled in Medicaid will have to be eliminated.
3. In the 2006 budget, the council invests an additional $200,000 to support the recently adopted council plan to convert the mental health system from one based on maintenance to one promoting recovery of functioning in community life. As clients succeed in becoming more self-sufficient, the system should be able to meet new demands with less growth in costs, resulting in a higher likelihood that the system can be sustained with available revenues.
4. The veterans and human services levy was approved by the voters at the 2005 general election. The levy will strengthen support and rehabilitation services for veterans, their families and others in need. The council is reserving the projected $13 million to be collected from the levy in 2006. During the first quarter of 2006, the council will develop a policy framework and allocation plan for the effective use of these funds, and will appoint citizen oversight boards to assure that these funds are put to the most effective possible use.
M. Technology. Over the last five years, the council has led the effort to strategically plan for and implement sound technology investments. In 2001, the council created a strategic planning, governance and oversight process for countywide technology investments and reorganized county government to provide such strategic planning and oversight. In 2003, the council adopted the county's first three-year strategic technology plan since 1996. In 2005, the council developed a framework for evaluating technology projects that requires departments to justify projects before they begin. Each project is reviewed through the council analytic framework to ensure it has a solid business case to justify itself on the basis of the council's goals of efficiency, accountability, public access, customer service and risk management. In particular, efficiency projects are examined before they are approved to ensure that they will pay for themselves over time.
1. The 2006 budget includes $53 million for investments in thirty-one technology projects and eighteen equipment replacement projects, bringing the county commitment to $180 million for current and new technology and equipment replacement projects.
2. The budget holds in reserve $2.3 million for nine new technology projects until the council adopts its new three-year strategic technology plan for 2006 through 2008, and determines whether the new projects are consistent with that plan.
3. The budget also holds in reserve $37.9 million for the transit radio replacement project until the council approves an implementation plan, schedule and quality assurance review.
4. The budget also requires the executive to submit:
a. a plan for countywide reorganization of information technology functions in order to achieve efficiencies and cost savings, with nearly $1 million for twelve new information technology positions held in reserve pending council review and approval of the completed information technology reorganization plan;
b. a report on how to ensure savings from technology projects are captured and budgets are reduced; and
c. a business case, including a cost-benefit analysis, that will be used by decision-makers to determine if the Law, Safety and Justice Integration Program will be extended.
N. Enterprise and Capital Funds. King County is responsible for protecting the environment, treating wastewater, managing solid waste, operating and maintaining the transit system, and constructing and maintaining major capital projects for county purposes, including roads. The council carefully scrutinized the county's enterprise agencies and large capital construction projects to ensure the efficient use of fees and taxes.
1. The 2006 budget maintains transit fares and all buss pass prices at 2002 levels, despite continuing increases in gas and diesel fuel costs. The council maintains service levels added in 2005 due to the temporary closure of the downtown Seattle bus tunnel, and in the 2006 budget adds 17,800 hours of service.
The 2006 budget continues the Elliott Bay Water Taxi as a valuable seasonal addition to the transportation system with strong ridership and fare box recovery. The budget also provides for construction of a permanent dock at the West Seattle terminus of the route.
2. The 2006 budget continues the policy of funding road projects that address safety and maintenance needs before funding projects that would add capacity to the roads system. These safety and maintenance projects include Coal Creek Parkway, the May Creek Bridge project, Tolt Bridge and a nonmotorized countywide project. The council established this roads funding policy to address the loss of local vehicle license fee revenues following voter approval of Initiative 776. Although the state Legislature approved new gas taxes that will be phased in over four years, the revenue distributed to the county will still be insufficient to address capacity projects.
3. The 2006 budget keeps both the monthly sewer rate and the capacity charge unchanged from 2005 rates. To provide stability and certainty for wastewater users, the council in 2005 adopted a monthly wastewater service rate of $25.60, with the goal of maintaining this rate for two years. The council also adopted a monthly wastewater capacity charge of $34.05 to fund wastewater capital program elements needed to accommodate growth, with the goal of maintaining this charge for three years.
4. To protect water quality and to serve a growing population, the 2006 budget continues the county's fiscal commitment to construct the $1.6 billion Brightwater treatment plant and conveyance project that will treat thirty-six million gallons per day of wastewater from north King County and south Snohomish County by 2010.
5. To conserve water that would otherwise be drawn from rivers, streams and groundwater reserves, the 2006 budget provides funding to commence the first phase of the Brightwater reclaimed water project. This phase will conserve up to seven million gallons of water per day once it becomes operational in 2011. When fully completed, the project will provide up to twenty-one million gallons of reclaimed water per day. The water will be used by customers in the Sammamish valley and as far west as Shoreline for landscape and agricultural irrigation, heating, cooling and industrial processing. Customers will also benefit from lower costs by using reclaimed water.
6. The 2006 budget supports King County's commitment to Harborview Medical Center with $4.5 million in strategic infrastructure improvements and equipment acquisitions. The budget continues the $293 million voter-approved bond construction project that funds seismic improvements, an expanded inpatient building and a new multipurpose facility. In 2006, the council will continue to monitor the scope, schedule and budget to ensure the successful completion of the project.
O. Parks and Open Space. In Ordinance 14509, the council established parks and open space policies and funding priorities that preserve the county's commitment to parks and recreation in the county. In May 2003, the voters approved a parks operating levy to support that commitment. The 2006 budget supports the acquisition, development and rehabilitation of regional and rural parks, open spaces, trails and recreational facilities. The council continues the transition that began in 2002 to emphasize regional park assets and local parks in rural areas where the county is the primary service provider, and to reduce dependence on limited general fund revenues.
P. Growth Management. Since 1990, King County has been required under the Washington state Growth Management Act to focus growth in urban areas, reduce sprawl, protect the environment, encourage efficient transportation systems, foster economic development, increase the availability of affordable housing and provide for necessary public facilities and services. King County meets this requirement by adopting a comprehensive land use plan and implementing development regulations. In 2004, the county adopted the ten-year update of its Comprehensive Plan, including policies and development regulations to protect the functions and values of critical areas, as required by chapter 36.70A RCW.
1. The county remains responsible for providing local services to 350,000 residents of the unincorporated areas of the county, including 202,000 residents living in urban unincorporated areas. The 2006 budget continues funding of the county's annexation initiative, which is designed to encourage annexation or incorporation of the urban unincorporated areas, as envisioned by the state Growth Management Act and the countywide planning policies.
2. The 2006 budget retains funding for positions added in the department of development and environmental services to provide assistance to citizens in complying with provisions of the Critical Areas ordinances. In 2005, the council provided funding for customer surveys, the results of which are being used to make changes designed to increase customer satisfaction levels. In 2006, the council has included additional funding to assess the value of the changes and determine whether the department has accomplished its customer satisfaction goals.
Q. It is the intent of the metropolitan King County council that its policies be implemented through the 2006 King County budget.
SECTION 2. Effect of proviso or expenditure restriction veto.

Each agency selected to receive a van must enter into an agreement with King County that provides, among other things, that the agency shall defend and indemnify the county against any liability, be sufficiently insured to support the indemnity and defense obligation and be able to maintain and operate the van for its remaining useful life. The council finds that such provision of vans supports the county's public transportation function by: (1) reducing single occupancy vehicle trips, pollution and traffic congestion; (2) supplementing the services provided by the county's paratransit system; and (3) increasing mobility for the transit-dependent for whom regular transit may not always be a convenient option.
The motion required to be submitted by this proviso must be filed in the form of 11 copies with the clerk of the council, who will retain the original and will forward copies to each councilmember and to the lead staff for the transportation committee or its successor.
P2 PROVIDED FURTHER THAT:
Of this appropriation, $50,000 shall be expended only after the executive prepares for review and the council approves by motion a plan for increased security and coordination of police resources at the Renton Transit Center. The plan shall identify how transit will develop and implement joint plans for cross-training and enhanced security with the Renton Police Department. The plan shall specifically describe how strategies such as routine checks by uniformed and undercover officers, joint emphasis patrols and other appropriate police activities will be used.
The executive shall file the report and motion by March 1, 2006, in the form of 11 copies with the clerk of the council, who will retain the original and will forward copies to each councilmember and to the lead staff for the regional transit committee or its successor.
P3 PROVIDED FURTHER THAT:
By April 30, 2006, the transit division shall submit to the council for its review and approval by motion a detailed work plan for an update of the long-range planning framework for public transportation and development of an operational master plan. The detailed work plan shall include a scope of work, tasks, schedule, needed resources and milestones. It shall also include a description of a proposed stakeholder group that will assist in overseeing this effort.
The plan and motion must be filed in the form of 12 copies with the clerk of the council, who will retain the original and will forward copies to each councilmember and to the lead staff for the transportation committee and the lead staff of the regional transit committee or its successor.
