body
PREAMBLE:
Whether it is your family budget or our county budget, we all have experienced financial losses this year. During these tough economic times, the council has not lost sight of its duty to protect the county's most vulnerable residents. The council, through this budget; prioritized the following: restoring domestic violence and sexual assault services; minimizing cuts to criminal justice agencies; preserving existing bus service; transitioning the care of stray animals; keeping our parks open, and exercising fiscal restraint.
Human services provide shelter, jail diversion, counseling, jobs training and many other basic needs. Their value in our community cannot be disputed. While we could not fund all the programs previously provided, we were able restore funding for legal services, counseling, and shelter for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors. This was realized by utilizing the flexibility provided by the state legislature to reprioritize mental illness and drug dependency dollars and by delaying some capital projects.
We worked hard to limit cuts to our criminal justice system - the sheriff, court system, jails, prosecutors and public defenders - to no more than a one percent reduction from 2009 levels. The council also recognizes that criminal justice agencies alone do not make our residents safe. Prevention and intervention programs such as drug court and expanded mental health courts as well as health and human services keep people from entering the criminal justice system.
Acknowledging the ongoing nature of this recession, the council exercised fiscal discipline by not spending the $15 million rainy day fund or increasing property taxes on the citizens of King County. The council and executive took unprecedented ten percent cuts to their own budgets - far more than any other county agency.
Additionally, the budget saves money in the long term by transitioning animals from King County shelters to other community organizations and eliminating the general fund subsidy for animal care and control functions.
As the regional provider of bus service, we understand the importance of maintaining a reliable bus system. To address the transit budget deficit, the council realigned funds by reducing passenger-only ferry service allowing us to maintain current levels of bus service. Savings also were realized by implementing recommendations outlined in a council mandated audit.
Parks are an invaluable asset to our region providing healthy and active spaces for all residents. Faced with the threat of thirty-nine park closures, the council and executive developed a plan, through partnerships with local organizations and governments to keep the parks open for all residents.
The 2010 budget, as adopted by the King County council, addresses our immediate needs, sets careful priorities and limits expenditures. This budget preserves our quality of life while recognizing fiscal challenges in the coming years.
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 many suburban cities for police protection, jail services and municipal court services; and local services to unincorporated areas, such as sheriff protection, agriculture, roads, surface water management, local parks and land use regulation.
B. Under the King County Charter, the metropolitan King County council sets policy and adopts budgets for the county. The 2010 budget totals $5 billion, of which $629 million is in the general fund. Additionally, within that budget is a biennial department of transportation budget totaling $1.52 billion.
C. King County faces a projected 2010 general fund revenue shortfall of $56 million. The shortfall is primarily attributable to state law limiting the growth of county property tax collections to one percent annually plus new construction. This rate of growth is insufficient to meet the increasing costs of providing services. The imbalance between increasing costs and decreasing resources results in a structural gap. Compounding this ongoing structural gap is the continuing recession that has depressed revenues from retail sales and real estate taxes. The combined shortfall of these major revenue sources requires King County to significantly reduce services in 2010 and beyond.
D. Annexation: The growth management act envisions cities as the local governments service providers for urban areas and county governments as the local service providers in rural areas. The council has encouraged the urban unincorporated areas of King county to annex to surrounding cities or incorporate. The 2010 budget reflects a savings of over $2 million associated with the successful annexation of a portion of the north highline unincorporated area to the city of Burien. Voters have approved additional annexations of areas which are expected to reduce county costs in 2011.
E. The county's legislative agenda urges the governor and state legislature to permanently address the structural funding gap facing all counties in Washington state. In addition to the structural funding gap, revenues from the state are also in decline, resulting in cuts to public health, transit, mental health and substance abuse services.
F. The metropolitan King County council provides fiscal oversight and accountability by setting spending priorities. The council's budget priorities adopted in Motion 12986 on May 18, 2009, are "government efficiency, public safety, health and human services and physical environment". This budget meets these priorities by:
EFFICIENCY
1. Council-Initiated Oversight Actions: The council is committed to: implementing savings identified by the transit performance audit, using recommendations from the capital project oversight office to improve the county's capital budgeting and project management processes, and examining the scope, cost and feasibility of all capital projects;
2. Personnel Costs: The executive's proposed budget included anticipated furlough savings of $20 million, of which $6.5 million is in the general fund. The executive was unable to come to agreement with the county's labor organizations and, as a result, the council had to address this additional budget gap on an agency by agency basis. The county will reduce personnel expenses through layoffs, adopting furloughs where possible, eliminating vacant positions and trimming administrative expenses;
3. Mental Illness and Drug Dependency ("MIDD"): MIDD revenues fund mental health and chemical dependency services that focus on prevention, recovery and reduction of unnecessary involvement in the criminal justice and emergency medical systems. Due to a state law change, $12.9 million of MIDD revenues can now fund mental health, chemical dependency and therapeutic court programs that otherwise would have been eliminated. The council prioritized existing strategies including services that prevent youth from entering the criminal justice system, youth and family therapy, and counseling for survivors of sexual assault.
4. Strategic Planning Efforts: The council is committed to realizing savings outlined in public health and adult and juvenile justice operational master plans and looks forward to implementing savings and efficiencies from the ongoing roads services operational master plan. Furthermore, the council looks forward to receiving the first countywide strategic plan due to the council on May 1, 2010, that includes the goals, objectives and performance measures reflecting all branches of county government, as set forth in the King County Performance Management and Accountability Act;
5. Streamlining Service: The council identified additional opportunities where further efficiencies and savings could be developed. The council is directing the executive to report on the following matters:
a. whether services within the department of transportation could be consolidated;
b. whether facilities management division project management staffing is appropriate;
c. whether the solid waste division's use of overtime should be modified; and
d. whether shift changes within the wastewater treatment division could result in more productive use of employees;
6. Technology Oversight: The council's review of technology projects identified savings of $317,202. Ordinance 16699 adopted as part of this year's budget review prohibits the purchase of non-essential desktop computer equipment. By delaying computer replacement of half of the 2,192 computers, over $1.1 million will be saved;
7. This budget assumes savings of $18.7 million from implementing recommendations of the 2009 Transit Performance Audit. These savings, combined with extensive reductions in the transit capital program and nonservice elements of the operating program, will enable Metro Transit to avoid the nine-percent service reduction (310,000 service hours) proposed by the executive;
PUBLIC SAFETY
8. This budget prioritizes the sheriff, the superior and district courts, the prosecuting attorney's office, adult and juvenile detention and the department of judicial administration by making large reductions in the non-public safety areas of the general fund. This allows the various public safety related agencies to largely be spared from most budget reductions in 2010;
9. Sheriff: The council identified additional funding for patrol and law enforcement activities necessary to maintain patrol and law enforcement in the unincorporated areas and the region as a whole. This budget restores much of the unrealized furlough assumptions in the executive's proposed budget. These restorations reinforce the council's commitment to public safety. In partnership with the sheriff's office, the council mitigated these reductions by identifying other general fund savings and finding new revenues. Nevertheless, the sheriff's office will have to absorb a one percent reduction due to the budget shortfall;
10. District Court: This budget recognizes district court's caseload growth and provides for revenue-backed growth from the addition of district court services to the city of Burien. This budget restores the unrealized furlough assumptions in the executive's proposed budget. The council identified general fund resources and other revenues that continue support of the county's vital district court programs such as:
a. mental health court addressing legal problems more appropriately treated by mental health professionals,
b. relicensing court allowing traffic offenders to deal with cases before they become criminal matters, and
c. probation services protecting the public while reducing incarceration costs.
This budget ensures the court will continue to provide services throughout the region by funding new judicial officers and staff to support the court's workload. This budget also utilizes revenue from MIDD sales tax to expand mental health court to all jurisdictions throughout the county, providing for the reduction of justice costs throughout the county and cities;
11. Superior Court and Judicial Administration: This budget allocates funding from the MIDD sales tax to sustain vital services in the superior court. This budget allows for the continued operation of the second King County Law Library at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent, as law libraries are vital services for citizens without attorneys, known as pro se defendants, and their families. The county council ensured that the 2010 budget preserves the critical adult and juvenile drug diversion courts that address legal problems for individuals most appropriately rehabilitated through the drug court's treatment programs. The budget also preserves the family treatment court and the court's unified family court. The council has identified funding to sustain programs in juvenile court services;
12. Public Defense: King County, through its office of the public defender, contracts with nonprofit agencies to meet its commitment to justice for all citizens by providing indigent defense services to those accused of a crime. As established in Ordinance 1654|1013|, the council continues its commitment to a funding methodology for certain felony cases that will sustain contract agency service levels while undertaking a case-weighting study to help inform future service provision. This budget also maintains the council's commitment to a July through June contracting period with the nonprofit agencies for the provision of services, as well as meeting defense model assumptions for annual staffing parity with the prosecuting attorney's office.
13. Prosecuting Attorney: This budget restores much of the unrealized furlough assumptions in the executive's proposed budget. The prosecuting attorney controlled county costs and implemented six furlough days in 2009. The council continues to support the prosecutor's targeted enforcement programs leading to significant reductions in auto theft, burglary and gun violence;
14. Adult and Juvenile Detention: The council maintained the necessary funding levels for secure detention. The council also promotes the community corrections programs that have controlled growth in the general fund. The budget fully supports the prevention, intervention, treatment and alternatives to incarceration programs created by the adult and juvenile justice operational master plans. These programs have saved the county money and achieve better outcomes for those individuals in contact with the criminal justice system. Further, the budget continues the Regional Integrated Jail Project and support for youth housing options as an alternative to secure detention;
15. Animal Care and Control: Public safety is animal care and control's first priority. The council directs the executive to implement performance measures, standards and expectations based on best practices for animal control with the intent of improving response times to calls for assistance, cruelty investigation and public safety;
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
16. Public Health: The county is mandated to provide and fund public health services. This budget decreases general fund support for public health by $4.5 million to $26.5 million. While the department continues to implement operational efficiencies developed through the public health operational master plan, service reductions cannot be avoided. In addition, state reductions include elimination of colon health screenings and immunization services at three public health centers, and reductions of HIV and STD control, family planning and tobacco prevention services. To mitigate reductions in services, the county will enter into innovative partnerships with other community providers at the Northshore and Kent public health clinics. The council directs the department to develop a longer term plan for delivery of public health center services in Kent, with a focus on partnerships with other community providers.
17. Emergency Medical Services: Emergency medical services in King County are award winning and provide industry best practice. This budget maintains the county's commitment to emergency medical services through a regional response system.
18. Human Services: This budget recognizes the vital importance of human services in our community. Due to the council's creation of funding sources over the past several years, the county was able to prioritize and restore funding for legal services and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence in 2010. However, the overall ability to fund human services has been impacted by the structural deficit.
This budget continues to allocate proceeds from the voter-approved veterans and human services levy that continue vital investments in services and housing that prevent and reduce homelessness and involvement in the criminal justice system. In 2008, the council adopted the MIDD sales tax, creating an additional funding source for human services. This budget allocates more than nearly $53 million from the dedicated MIDD sales tax to provide better access to mental health and chemical dependency treatment and support. These investments yield significant cost savings to the region's emergency medical system and to the criminal justice system by reducing recidivism;
PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
19. Reduced sales tax revenues, created a shortfall of over $200 million in the 2010/2011 biennium for the transit division. The council remains committed to maintaining bus service levels to meet current ridership and close the funding gap by:
a. implementing the findings of the 2009 Transit Performance Audit, including bus route and staffing efficiencies,
b. deferring 140,000 Transit Now High Ridership Corridor and Developing Areas services by requiring an extension to the Transit Now Implementation Plan,
c. using Transit Now funds, as necessary, to fund a RapidRide network bus service that serves all of King County without changing the adopted Transit Now policy;
d. Adopting legislation, enacting a $0.25 fare increase for all fare categories in 2011, except youth fares, while phasing out annual passes for seniors and disabled. This action confirms the council's commitment to establishing parity between youth and seniors and disabled categories of discounted transit fares and movement towards a regionally standardized rate for ease of use between transit systems;
e. using one-time reserve funds to minimize reductions in bus service;
f. extending timelines for various capital projects and reducing future bus purchases to reflect actual needs;
g. studying the issue of how to replace the aging trolley system;
h. enacting a tax-payer neutral property tax levy for public transportation that will save more than 180,000 hours of bus service and help Washington state meet Urban Partnership Agreement commitments of providing enhanced service on the SR 520 corridor; and
j. committing to a regional stakeholder process that examines how the transit system should contract and, in the long term, how it should grow to become a cornerstone of the region's mobility system;
20. Roads: This budget invests in the county road network by:
a. tempering our investments in regional maintenance facilities while the Summit Pit sale is deferred for a year;
b. requiring, as part of the council-directed Roads Services Division Operational Master Plan, a complete revisiting of the organizational structure and work process of the division;
c. constructing the Novelty Hill Road Phase 1 project to meet regional commitments and local capacity needs;
d. focusing additional investments by maintaining the roadway network that exists today before increasing the overall lane capacity of the network; and
e. relying on a federal grant for construction of a replacement South Park Bridge, otherwise the bridge must be closed and demolished for safety reasons;
21. Solid Waste Management: The solid waste division expects continued reduction in tonnage. This budget maintains a level of service commensurate with the anticipated tonnage reduction and does so without a rate increase. Additionally, as a result of the potential Green river flooding, the council directed the executive to complete a report detailing how appropriate disposal methods will be available for toxic-contaminated flood debris for the 2009-2010 flooding season;
22. Wastewater Treatment: The council identified additional funds for the wastewater treatment division rate stabilization fund by capturing operating budget savings. Rate stabilization funds and deferral of capital projects are intended by the council to reduce the projected sewer rate increase for 2011;
23. Water and Land Resources: This budget preserves the county's commitment to agriculture. Due to potential Green river flooding, it also reprioritizes funds to respond to that flooding.
a. Agriculture program: This budget restores funding to the county's Agriculture Program that the executive eliminated. This restoration maintains support of King County's small farms by providing technical assistance to farmers in marketing their products.
b. Category III (Culver funds): This budget reserves over $1.3 million for the wastewater treatment division to respond to water pollution caused by potential Green river flooding. At the end of the 2010 flood season, any remaining amount of that reserve will be allocated to Category III funds (Culver program) and used for water quality improvement projects;
24. Parks and Recreation: This budget maintains operations of thirty-nine parks that the executive slated for mothballing;
ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL
25. The council recognizes the need to make significant changes to animal care and control functions. This budget discontinues funding for animal sheltering services after January 31, 2010, and transitions animals from King County shelters to other community organizations, as dictated by city contracts with those organizations. This budget also requires that after June 30, 2010, no portion of the county's general fund will be expended to subsidize King County's contracts with cities for animal control or for the collection of animal licensing fees;
GENERAL GOVERNMENT
26. The council preserved direct services to the residents of King County. The council demonstrated this commitment through implementation of ten-percent reductions in the council and executive office budgets. The council also made significant reductions in administrative and overhead services, such as finance, employee benefits and facilities management. At the same time, the council continues to invest in critical economic development activities and financial investment oversight functions.
27. Economic Development: Although economic development is not a mandated local government function, the council's 2010 budget maintains a core set of economic development functions that enable the county to partner with the private sector, other jurisdictions, labor and environmental organizations to create and retain jobs in the central Puget Sound region.
28. King County Investment Pool: The council is committed to strengthening management of the county's multibillion-dollar investment pool, as recommended by the council's investment pool advisory panel. Through actions taken in the council's budget to enhance the county's credit analysis function, the council demonstrates its continued commitment to ensuring that investment pool management is sufficiently robust to oversee the county's investments and those of the county's partners in today's challenging market conditions.
29. Administrative Reductions: The council's budget implements efficiencies beyond those included in the executive's proposed budget in the county's internal service agencies. The council thoroughly analyzed all internal service agencies and reprioritized funds, creating additional reductions of nearly $2 million, including $1.5 million in the general fund; and
30. Elections Service Reductions: The council is committed to maintaining fair, open and accurate elections, and has provided adequate funding to ensure this outcome. However, in an effort to preserve other direct services to the public, certain nonmandated elections services are reduced or eliminated. Most notably, ballot drop boxes will not be funded unless the county receives additional funding options from the state Legislature.
SECTION 2. Effect of proviso or expenditure restriction veto. It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent of the council that a veto of any proviso or expenditure restriction that conditions the expenditure of a stated dollar amount or the use of FTE authority upon the performance of a specific action by an agency shall thereby reduce the appropriation authority to that agency by the stated dollar or FTE amount.

SECTION 6. Within the fund appropriations are sums to cover merit pay and labor settlements. The county executive is authorized to distribute the required portions of these funds among the affected positions in each operating fund effective January 1, 2010. In the event cost-of-living adjustments are greater than funding provided, all budgets shall be augmented as required from funds available to the county not otherwise appropriated, but only if an ordinance is transmitted to the council appropriating the funds by appropriation unit.
SECTION 7. Notwithstanding sections 3 and 4 of this ordinance, sections 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 137 and 138 of this ordinance take effect ten days after the executive's approval, as provided in the King County Charter.
