STUDY SESSION
Financial Sustainability Plan (FSP)
FSP Process Summary City Manager Rob Karlinsey provided a breakdown of the community engagement process and results thus far, outlining that due to inflation, increases in service levels over the years, and
some revenues experiencing flat growth or declines, the City’s operating revenues are not keeping pace with the cost of doing business. Mr. Karlinsey detailed steps for creating the six-year budget forecast.
Statistically Valid Survey Report
Fulcrum Strategy Group consultant Ian Stewart presented the process and results of a Statistically Valid Survey from residents about City services, spending, and taxes; revealing support for a combination of service level cuts and modest tax increases. Council discussed a 0.1% sales tax option, to be a voter approved ballot measure, to help fund the Police Department.
FSP Guiding Principles City Manager Rob Karlinsey detailed eleven Guiding Principles focused on aligning resources with priorities, maintaining fiscal discipline through a "zero-sum" policy, and fostering a shared stewardship model with the community to reduce costs. The strategy emphasizes long-term
forecasting, capital asset maintenance, and employee retention to ensure organizational stability
and economic resilience.
Enhanced Program Scoring Assistant City Manager/Technology and Support Services Director James Richmond asked
Council to rank each enhanced program based on criteria to determine levels of risk. The average
scores were presented on a bar chart. (Included submission from Council Member Skaug).

Mayor Swartz called a 5-minute Recess from 7:55 p.m.- 8:00 p.m. FSP Options and Direction
Next Level Analytics Consultant Jeff Pooley calculated real-time budget forecast scenarios based on Council’s direction for revenue options, expenditure reductions, and future steps for plan adoption. City staff and Council considered both department-specific reductions and across-the-board cuts, weighing the pros and cons of targeting high-expense departments versus applying a blanket percentage reduction to all departments. Council discussed cost recovery fees, future
reduction in programs for Parks, countywide Museum partnership, transferring Larson Recreation Center and Ice Rink properties to nonprofit entities, modified hours of recreation facilities, taking property tax banked capacity, and moving portion of fire expense to ambulance fund. Council agreed to continue reviewing these and other alternatives on April 21.

Council Member Lombardi. The motion carried 6 – 0. Action taken: Council Member Graves moved to extend the meeting by 10 minutes, second by Council Member Fancher. The motion carried 6 – 0.

Summary/Background
The following amounts were budgeted, and sufficient funds were available to cover these payments.
Electronic Transfer: N/A
AP Checks: 174060 – 174227- $675,328.65
Payroll AP Expenses: PP2608 - $1,348,961.62

RCW42.24 governs the process for audit and review of claims and payroll payments for the city. RCW 42.24.180 requires the review and approval of all payments at a regularly
scheduled public meeting on at least a monthly basis. The State Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting Systems (BARS)Manual outlines the above format for approval by the City
Council.
RCW42.24.080 requires that all claims presented against the city by persons furnishing materials, rendering services, or performing labor must be certified by the appropriate
official to ensure that the materials have been furnished, the services rendered, or the labor performed as described, and that the claims are just, due and unpaid obligations
against the city.
RCW42.24.180 allows expedited processing of the payment of claims when certain conditions have been met. The statute allows the issuance of warrants or checks in payment of
claims before the legislative body has acted to approve the claims when: (1) the appropriate officers have furnished official bonds; (2)the legislative body has adopted policies that
implement effective internal control; (3) the legislative body has provided for review of the documentation supporting the claims within a month of issuance; and (4) that if claims
are disapproved, they shall be recognized as receivables and diligently pursued.
The City meets all these conditions.
Fiscal Consideration
To comply with the requirements, Finance staff schedule payment of claims and payroll for semi-monthly Council approval on the Consent Agenda. The payments listed in the schedule
cover all claims and payroll payments during the period prior to the date of the Council meeting.
All payments made during this period were found to be valid claims against the City. Details are attached and any questions should be directed to the City Manager or Finance Director.
The City’s internal controls include certification of the validity of all payments by the appropriate department prior to submission for payment. The Finance Director has delegated authority
for the examination of vouchers and authorization of payments to the Finance, Accounts Payable, and Payroll staff. All payments are reviewed and validated. The Finance Division regularly
reviews its processes to ensure appropriate internal controls are in place.

Recommended Motion
Adopt the 2026 Financial Stability Plan for the General Fund & Street Fund (Council Priority #1) as attached to this agenda bill.
Summary/Background
Introduction & Problem Definition
Due to inflation, increases in service levels over the years, and some revenues experiencing relatively flat growth or declines, the City’s operating revenues are not keeping pace with the cost of doing business. As a result, the City of Moses Lake faces a structural deficit in its operating budget (General Fund and Street Fund)
and has developed a six-year Financial Sustainability Plan to match revenues with expenditures. The goal of the Financial Sustainability Plan is to close the budget gap and stabilize fund balances through 2031.
Despite cutting the operating budget by $4 million from 2025 to 2026, the City budget deficit persists in 2026 and widens in future years.
As a result, the Moses Lake City Council established Financial Sustainability as it's #1 priority for 2026 and began a process to create a Financial Sustainability Plan.
FSP Timeline and Milestones
The FSP process began on February 10, 2026 at the Moses Lake City Council meeting. At that meeting, the City Council reviewed the updated financial forecast, including the key assumptions and conclusions of the forecast. The City Council held the following public meetings to discuss the Financial Sustainability Plan:
1. February 10: FSP Kickoff, forecast update, and Service Level Budgeting method
2. February 24: Service Level Budgeting program categorization, tax base/rate comparisons, & revenue options
3. March 16: Town Hall Meeting
4. March 24: Growth in city buildings, full-time employees, and programs
5. March 31: Budget comparisons & other data, Town Hall report, Balancing Act online budget simulation report, & enhanced program scoring criteria
6. April 14: Survey results, guiding principles, program scoring, and scenarios discussion
7. April 21: FSP timeline and process recap, additional public comment, and Council deliberation on proposed plan scenarios.
Community Engagement
During the FSP kickoff meeting on February 10, 2026, the City Council approved the following community engagement plan:
1. FSP web page established early February

City Council Deliberation
After multiple public meetings and public input opportunities between mid-February and mid-April, the Moses Lake City Council met on April 14, 2026, and again on April 21, 2026, to discuss possible scenarios and develop a Financial Sustainability Plan.
Drawing on all of the input they received throughout the process, the City Council considered various revenue options as well as program changes, including
reducing services and transferring programs to another entity.
On April 21, after the city manager gave a presentation recapping the process and public input received to date, the public provided comments before the City
Council deliberated. All of the public comments were in favor of retaining Parks, Recreation, and Cultural programs and facilities, including the Larson Recreation Center.
After public comments, the City Council considered two options presented by the city manager. Both options were based on preferences the City Council
expressed at the April 14 meeting.
Both scenarios do not close any city facilities and transition the operation of the Larson Recreation Center, Rink, and Museum& Arts Center to nonprofit entities by 2029. In addition, both scenarios included the following proposals:
1. Gradually reduce the City's contribution to the Museum & Arts Center from $700,000 per year to $400,000 by 2029; By 2029 the Museum and Arts Center
would transition to a nonprofit organization. The City would still contribute $400,000 per year and charge no rent for the space in the Civic Center
2. City continues to make payments on outstanding debt for the Larson Recreation Center. The annual debt payment is $692,000 per year through 2041
3. Bring forward a ballot measure for 0.1% sales tax for Public Safety, generating approximately $1.2 million per year
4. Increase cost recovery on fees (e.g., planning and building permits, etc.)
5. Implement additional cuts in core and basic functions
6. Build the City’s Rainy-Day Fund by $250,000 per year, with a fund level goal of $2.5million.
The two scenarios differed as follows:
1. Scenario one assumes a proposed voter-approved property tax levy lid lift of 32.5cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation to go into effect in 2027
2. Scenario two assumes no voter-approved property tax levy lid lift and instead relies on additional budget balancing methods (e.g., further efficiencies,
redistribution of duties, improving purchasing practices, etc.) and possible additional service level reductions to be determined
Both options achieve fund balance above the City Council's goal of a 15% minimum reserve level through 2031.
After further discussion, the City Council selected scenario two (no property tax levy lid lift) and directed the city manager to bring forward a final Financial
Sustainability Plan for City Council consideration on April 28, 2026.

Fiscal Consideration
The City Council's selected scenario significantly reduces the gap between revenues and expenditures, and keeps
ending fund balances above the 15% reserve goal through 2031:

City of Moses Lake
Financial Sustainability Plan
Adopted on _____, 2026
Introduction & Problem Definition
Due to inflation, increases in service levels over the years, and some revenues
experiencing relatively flat growth or declines, the City’s operating revenues are not
keeping pace with the cost of doing business. As a result, the City of Moses Lake faces
a structural deficit in its operating budget (General Fund and Street Fund) and has
developed a six-year Financial Sustainability Plan to match revenues with
expenditures. The goal of the Financial Sustainability Plan is to close the budget gap
and stabilize fund balances through 2031.
Despite cutting the operating budget by $4 million from 2025 to 2026, the City budget
deficit persists in 2026 and widens in future years. On February 10, 2026, the Moses
Lake City Council reviewed the updated six-year financial forecast. The gap between
revenues and expenditures was as follows:
The above graph shows a $4.7 million deficit in 2027 that grows to $8 million in 2031. In
addition, the following graph shows the combined ending fund balance (i.e., cash
reserves) of the General Fund & Street Fund, declining below the City Council’s target
reserve level (the red line shown on the graph):
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 65 of 205
The fund balance falls below the reserve goal in 2028 and goes negative by the end of
2029. The key assumptions in building the forecast model are as follows:
1.2026 Budget revenues and costs are used as baseline. Certain non-recurring
items, such as grants and short-term programs have been manually adjusted, as
needed. For example, American Rescue Plan Act funding from COVID and the
SAFER grant for fire fighter positions goes away by the end of 2026.
2.Staff salaries and wages are forecasted to grow at 5%. This estimate considers
COLA and merit increases, a conservative attrition, and other specific labor
agreement factors.
3.Staff medical benefits are forecasted to grow slightly higher at 6%, based on
historical trends.
4.Property tax is expected to grow at 0.9%, driven by new construction. This
estimate assumes no use of 1% annual levy increase or use of “banked capacity”
(i.e., prior 1% property tax increases not taken and “banked” for future use if
needed).
5.Sales tax revenue and other items that are tied to economic trends are
forecasted to grow at 3%.
6.Beginning in 2027, $1.8 million per year is allocated to capital asset
replacements and retrofits as buildings, parking lots, and other facilities age. This
amount is an estimate and will be adjusted when the facilities assessment is
completed later in 2026.
What Funds are Included?
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 66 of 205
The focus of this Financial Sustainability Plan (FSP) is the General Fund and the Street
Fund. Utility funds (water, wastewater, stormwater, etc.) are not included because they
are self-sustaining through utility rate charges and therefore do not receive dollars from
the General Fund. The Street Fund is not a utility fund and is supplemented by the
General Fund. Because of this connection to the General Fund, the Street Fund and
General Fund are combined for the purpose of the FSP.
Service Level Budgeting Method
As a way to frame and facilitate the discussion, Service Level Budgeting is a lens
through which to view and consider the City’s budget.
Service Level Budgeting (SLB) is a method to balance the City’s budget through the
lens of service levels, beginning with classifying programs as “core,” “basic,” or
“enhanced.” SLB recognizes that programs and services are not all created equal and
that some are required for public safety, order, and compliance with state law, while
other programs are more discretionary.
In balancing a budget through the lens of SLB, services and programs are placed into
three service level categories: Core, Basic, and Enhanced:
The steps in the process to build a service level-based budget are:
1.Identification of each department’s programs
2.Assignment of costs to each program
3.Categorization of programs as core, basic, and enhanced
4.Scoring enhanced programs based on a set of criteria
5.Public input and making budget decisions based on the SLB method
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 67 of 205
For more information on SLB, including the descriptions of core, basic, and enhanced
categories, the categorization of the programs, as well as the scoring of the enhanced
programs, see Appendix A.
FSP Timeline and Milestones
In June 2025, the City Council identified Financial Sustainability as its top priority for
2026. The FSP process began on February 10, 2026. At that meeting, the City Council

To encourage and promote public involvement in the FSP process, the City advertised
the FSP in the following ways:
1.Super card mailer to all mailboxes promoting Balancing Act and Town Hall
meeting

•December 2025
•Early April 2026
3.Coverage in local newspaper
4.News releases and social media posts
5.Public meeting notices
Guiding Principles
To provide a solid foundation leading into the final development of the Financial
Sustainability Plan, the City Council discussed a number of Guiding Principles on April
14, 2026. These principles are incorporated into this plan and are listed and described
in Appendix B.
City Council Deliberation
After multiple public meetings and public input opportunities between mid-February and
mid-April, the Moses Lake City Council met on April 14, 2026, and again on April 21,
2026, to discuss possible scenarios and develop a Financial Sustainability Plan.
Drawing on all of the input they received throughout the process, the City Council
considered various revenue options as well as program changes, including reducing
services and transferring programs to another entity.
Of the potential tax options, the public feedback indicated support of a 0.1% sales tax to
help fund the police department. A 0.1% sales tax is $1 on a $1,000 purchase.
Respondents in the Balancing Act and the statistically valid survey seemed supportive
of this tax. The following graph from the statistically valid survey illustrates this support:
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 69 of 205
The City Council indicated that if they were to consider 0.1% public safety sales tax,
they would want to put it forward to the voters on a ballot measure.
On April 21, after the city manager gave a presentation recapping the process and
public input received to date, the public provided comments before the City Council
deliberated. All of the public comments were in favor of retaining Parks, Recreation, and
Cultural programs and facilities, including the Larson Recreation Center.
After public comments, the City Council considered two options presented by the city
manager. Both options were based on preferences the City Council expressed at the
April 14 meeting.
Both scenarios do not close any city facilities and transition the operation of the Larson
Recreation Center, Rink, and Museum & Arts Center to nonprofit entities by 2029. In
addition, both scenarios included the following proposals:
1.Gradually reduce the City's contribution to the Museum & Arts Center from
$700,000 per year to $400,000 by 2029; by 2029 the Museum and Arts Center
would transition to a nonprofit organization or other entity. The City would still
contribute $400,000 per year and charge no rent for the space in the Civic
Center
2.City continues to make payments on outstanding debt for the Larson Recreation
Center. The annual debt payment is $692,000 per year through 2041
3.Bring forward a ballot measure for 0.1% sales tax for Public Safety, generating
approximately $1.2 million per year
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 70 of 205
4.Increase cost recovery on fees (e.g., planning and building permits, etc.)
5.Implement additional cuts in core and basic functions
6.Build the City’s Rainy-Day Fund by $250,000 per year, with a fund level goal of
$2.5 million.
The two scenarios differed as follows:
1.One scenario assumes a proposed voter-approved property tax levy lid lift of
32.5 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation to go into effect in 2027
2.The other scenario assumes no voter-approved property tax levy lid lift and
instead relies on additional budget balancing methods (e.g., further efficiencies,
redistribution of duties, improving purchasing practices, etc.) and possible
additional service level reductions to be determined
Both options achieve fund balance above the City Council's goal of a 15% minimum
reserve level through 2031.
After further discussion, the City Council selected the second option (no property tax
levy lid lift) and directed the city manager to bring forward a final Financial Sustainability
Plan for City Council consideration on April 28, 2026.
Using the forecast model presented at the April 14 and 21 City Council meetings, the
City Council selected revenue and expenditure options as follows:
Revenues:
Under the “Toggle” column, 100% indicates the revenue is selected, and 0% indicates
the revenue was not selected for the Financial Sustainability Plan. The 0.1% sales tax
for public safety was selected to move forward as well as increased cost recovery on
fees for service. Though shown as an expense (“Exp”), the “Fire Department – Cost
Transfer” is a result of increased cost recovery for EMS transport services and therefore
takes pressure off the Fire Department budget.

COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 71 of 205
Rainy-Day Fund:
The City Council has also set a goal to bring the account balance of the Rainy-Day
Fund to $2.5 million by transferring $250,000 per year from the General Fund to the
Rainy-Day Fund.
The 2026 adopted budget already includes a $250,000 transfer from the General Fund
to the Rainy-Day Fund. This Plan continues that annual transfer through 2031. The
current Rainy-Day Fund ending balance in 2026 is $750,00. At a transfer rate of
$250,000 per year, it will take seven more years to bring the fund balance to $2.5 million
(plus earned interest).
Enhanced Programs:
Of the City’s nine enhanced programs, this Plan directs changes in three of them, as
shown in this table:
Operation of the Larson Recreation Center, Museum & Art Center, and the Ice Rink will
be transferred to nonprofit entities by 2029. The budget for the Museum & Art Center
will be reduced gradually starting in 2027 and level off as a contribution to the nonprofit
entity at $400,000 per year. Even after Larson Recreation Center transfer of operations,
this Plan assumes the City will continue to bear the cost of the annual debt payments on
the LRC ($692,000 per year through 2041).

Basic & Core Programs:
The City Council has also directed cost reductions in core and basic functions, as
shown above. These changes will likely result from outsourcing services to third parties,
organizational restructuring/reducing full-time employees, service level reductions, or a
combination of these actions.
Additional Cost Reductions:
A significant component of this Plan is the City Council’s direction to staff to seek for
additional cost reductions, shown as follows:
All programs, regardless of whether they are core, basic, or enhanced, will be expected
to implement additional cost reductions. Though not a blanket “across the board”
approach, all departments are directed to strive for further efficiencies, cost reductions,
and creative ways to help the budget.
A Voluntary Separation Incentive Program (VSIP) is part of this portion of the Financial
Sustainability Plan and will likely assist with cost reductions. The VSIP provides a
financial incentive (based on years of service) for employees to choose to retire early or
leave employment with the City, subject to City Manager approval and based on the
needs of the City.
Other potential cost reduction methods include the following:
1. Purchasing improvements, e.g., bulk purchasing, re-bidding, etc.
2. Precision budgeting, Lean, distribution of duties, and other efficiencies
3. Employee benefits—comparable with other cities
4. Service mix, e.g., contracting vs. in-house
5. Further service level reductions
6. Non-tax-related net revenue enhancements (e.g. contracting our services with
other agencies)

While not fully balanced every year through 2031, the expenditure-revenue gap is much
tighter and within an acceptable small margin of error.
Next Steps After Adoption of the Financial Sustainability Plan
Once this Plan is adopted, the work of implementing it will not be easy. Additional plans
with much greater detail will need to be thought through and developed. The details and
specific challenges will need to be identified and addressed. In transitioning operations,
dedicated funding sources will need to be found and acquired. Involvement from other
organizations (or newly created ones) will be critical to the success of these operational
transitions. In short, developing this Plan will be the easy part compared to
implementing it.
A Word of Caution
Note that while the revenues and expenditures in this forecast are forecasted
conservatively, this forecast model does not assume a significant economic recession
scenario. It is possible that an economic recession could materialize during the
timeframe of this Plan and forecast. If so, the City will need to pivot and consider other
options to protect its financial position.

Conclusion
Moses Lake is endowed with a strong tax base. As the economic hub of Grant County,
our city enjoys higher-than-average sales tax and, thanks to primary industry
employers, a healthy property tax base. As result, Moses Lake has been able to offer
robust services and amenities over the years. In fact, this town is well known for its
parks, access to the water, and other amenities.
However, due to limits on property tax growth and relatively flat or declining other
revenues, the cost of providing services has caught up with the City’s income.
In addition, the City’s aging infrastructure and building facilities require a minimum
funding amount to prevent deferred maintenance and further decay. Parking lots, boat
launches, docks, park restrooms, picnic shelters, buildings, aquatic facilities, play
structures, roads, sidewalks, and irrigation systems require a steady stream of funding
to stay safe and usable.
This Plan takes a multi-year approach to balance competing needs and wants with
revenue limitations. By using Service Level Budgeting as a lens and by considering all
of the public input throughout the process, the City Council has developed this Financial
Sustainability Plan to stabilize fund balances and close the gap between revenues and
expenditures.
This Financial Sustainability Plan does not simply reduce services across the board or
completely cut programs. This Plan leverages the resources of the community to
provide a different way of providing some of these services.
To do so, this Plan embraces a Shared Stewardship approach that recognizes that
government is only one part of a thriving community. Moses Lake is home to
resourceful, generous, and civic-minded residents and businesses who are eager to
contribute. By shifting toward a model of shared stewardship—where
volunteers, churches, nonprofits, and community groups take an active lead
in programs and amenities in partnership with the City—we foster a deeper sense of
pride and ownership while directly enhancing the City’s financial sustainability.
Tapping into the expertise and labor of our local residents, nonprofit agencies,
businesses, and other partners can help us shift and reduce costs. This collaborative
strategy should ease the City’s financial burden by allowing the community to step
up and fill gaps that the City has historically been expected to provide.
Examples of this Shared Stewardship approach will include the Museum & Art Center,
the Larson Recreation Center, and the ice rink. These facilities are not closing. Instead,
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 76 of 205
this Plan proposes to maximize value by relying on community partners to keep these
facilities operational in partnership with the City of Moses Lake.
Similarly, this Plan turns to the creativity, passion, and intelligence of our City employees
to help us close the budget gap. We view our team of dedicated employees as partners
in this process. They are how the bulk of the work of the City gets done, and they have
the skills and knowledge to find better and more efficient and effective ways to deliver
city services. We have smart people working for this organization who will help us figure
this out.
This Financial Sustainability Plan was not easy to develop. The City Council was faced
with difficult choices and did not take lightly any of the decisions in this Plan. However,
getting on top of the City’s finances now while there’s time to figure this out will avert a
crisis and avoid more difficult decisions later.
As hard as this FSP was to create, even more difficult work lies ahead in implementing
it. Subplans under this Plan will need to be created and go into much further detail. The
success of this Plan will depend on the resourcefulness and hard work of our city team,
community members, and institutional partners.
With a stable and sustainable financial plan, Moses Lake’s future is bright. Pride and
sense of community will grow as we embrace the shared stewardship model and invite
our citizens, businesses, and city employees to partner together. And with a strong
financial position, our City will be well positioned to seize strategic opportunities,
weather downturns, and take charge of the future.

Appendix A
Service Level Budgeting
Service Level Budgeting (SLB) is a method to balance the City’s budget through the
lens of service levels, beginning with classifying programs as “core,” “basic,” or
“enhanced.” SLB recognizes that programs and services are not all created equal and
that some are required for public safety, order, and compliance with state law, while
other programs are more discretionary.
While other budgeting methods score or evaluate programs as if they were all
discretionary (e.g. “Priority Based Budgeting”) or try to build the budget from the bottom
up as if any service could be eliminated every year (e.g. “Zero Based Budgeting”), SLB
recognizes that there are some essential and basic programs and services that are not
going to go away and that there are discretionary services that are more subject to
budget limitations or that can be provided by other non-city entities.
At the same time, SLB does not dismiss the need for continuous improvement,
improved efficiency, and evaluation on how services are delivered and by whom. These
evaluations should always be ongoing.
In balancing a budget through the lens of SLB, services and programs are placed into
three service level categories: Core, Basic, and Enhanced:
SLB applies to two operating funds in the City’s budget: the General Fund and the
Street Fund. The Street Fund is connected to the General Fund because the General
Fund often subsidizes the Street Fund.
This SLB exercise does not apply to the utility funds (water, sewer, storm, ambulance,
and garbage) or capital project funds. Utility funds are fee-supported and self-
sustaining, so they do not get compared to programs in the General Fund and Street
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 78 of 205
Fund programs. Capital funds pay for one-time projects and are mostly funded with
grants and restricted revenues that do not go through the General Fund (e.g., Real
Estate Excise Tax, which is mostly restricted to capital).
The steps in the process to build a Service Level Budget are:
1.Identification of each department’s programs
2.Assignment of costs to each program3.Categorization of programs as core, basic, and enhanced4.Scoring enhanced programs based on a set of criteria5.Public input and making budget decisions based on the SLB method
Core, basic, and enhanced service levels are described as follows:
Core
Core level services include those services and programs that are essential to public
order and to maintain life safety. Examples include road maintenance, police patrol,
criminal investigations, emergency management, and fire response.
Core level services also include services that are mandated by state or federal law and
where those services are the sole responsibility of the city. Examples include land use
and building permit processing and planning under the Growth Management Act.
Some administrative functions also fall under core service levels. Examples include City
Council governance, record keeping, public records requests, financial accounting, and
some personnel functions.
Basic
Basic level services are not necessarily required for public order, nor are they mandated
by state or federal law, but they are considered elemental or inherent to what cities do,
and it would be difficult to do without these services.
Basic services are the sole responsibility of the city and do not fall under the
responsibility of any other public or private entity. Examples of basic city services
include public park maintenance, traffic enforcement, code enforcement, website
management, and information technology services.
Enhanced
Enhanced services are for added quality of life, are even more discretionary than basic,
and are not assumed to be an inherent city function. Enhanced services and programs
may augment what other public, nonprofit, and private sector entities already provide.
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 79 of 205
Examples of enhanced programs and services include human services funding,
recreation programs, event support, economic development programs, and some
communications services such as the quarterly printed newsletter.

Enhanced Program Scoring
At the April 14, 2026, City Council meeting, the City Council scored the enhanced
programs. The enhanced programs are as follows:
1. Communications—Quarterly Printed Newsletter
2. Human Services Grants
3. Library Building
4. Larson Recreation Center
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 81 of 205
5. Recreation
6.Museum & Arts Center
7.Surf n’ Slide Water Park
8.Cascade Campground
9.Ice Rink
The City Council scored enhanced programs on a scale of one to seven using the
following criteria:
1.Economic Vitality. Does the program result (directly or indirectly) in job creation
and business retention? Does the program promote vibrant retail and commercial
areas?
2.Local Benefit. Does the program primarily benefit Moses Lake taxpayers?
3.Council Priority #3. Does the program improve/promote the City’s image and
reputation? Does the program enhance a sense of community and sense of
place?
4.Reliance. Must Moses Lake be the only provider, or are there other entities (non-
profits, private sector) that can or already are doing the same thing?
5.Cost Recovery. Does the program generate revenue to pay for itself, or is it 100%
subsidized?
6.Population Served. How many program users? Does the program benefit the
entire community or a very small, specific niche? Is the number of users growing
or shrinking?
7.Liability/Risk. What is the level of risk or liability inherent in this program? Even
with safety training and standards in place, what is the potential for serious injury
or loss of life? Can risk be shifted to another provider?
After the scoring was compiled, the average scores for each of the enhanced programs
were reported as shown in the following graph:

Appendix B
Guiding Principles for the Financial Sustainability Plan
The following guiding principles serve as a foundation for the Financial Sustainability
Plan:
Align Resources with Priorities. Financial resources should be allocated first to
core and basic programs and City Council priorities. Any remaining funds to enhanced
programs should be allocated based on how well they advance the City Council’s top
priorities and the needs and wants of the community.
Balance Operating Revenues with Operating Expenditures. Only ongoing revenues
should support ongoing expenditures. Do not use one-time funds (e.g., grants or
reserves) to support recurring costs.
Practice Fiscal Neutrality. Enforce a "zero-sum" policy: every proposed new position
or program must be offset by an equal expenditure cut or a new revenue source. To
ensure long-term viability, all proposals must include fully loaded costs and be
integrated into the multi-year financial forecast. This prevents short-term budget
availability from masking long-term sustainability risks.
Create a Shared Stewardship Model. Government is only one part of a thriving
community. Moses Lake is home to resourceful, generous, and civic-minded residents
and businesses who are eager to contribute. By shifting toward a model of shared
stewardship—where volunteers, churches, nonprofits, and community groups take an
active lead in programs and amenities in partnership with the City—we foster a deeper
sense of pride and ownership while directly enhancing the City’s financial sustainability.
Tapping into the expertise and labor of our local residents and partners can help us shift
and reduce costs. This collaborative strategy should ease the City’s financial burden by
allowing the community to step up and fill gaps that the City has historically been
expected to provide.
Maximize Economic Resilience. Strong cash reserves and diversification of revenues
will provide stability through downturns. Some of Moses Lake’s revenues are elastic
and more volatile and subject to economic fluctuations. To prepare for downturns and
improve budget flexibility, increase ending fund balances of the General Fund and
Street Fund, and build up the Rainy-Day Fund.
Take the Long View. One-year budgets do not show the full picture and can mask
structural issues. Forecasting out at least six years provides a better view of budget
trends and allows policy makers to be proactive and get ahead of problems. The
financial forecast should be updated and reported to the City Council at least annually.
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 84 of 205
Maintain Capital Assets. Assess capital assets needs and allocate funds to maximize
the lifecycle of those assets. Allocate the necessary capital replacement funds every
year to eliminate deferred maintenance and avoid unplanned spikes as infrastructure,
equipment, and building systems age and need to be replaced.
Use Public Funds Efficiently and Responsibly. Continuously improve efficiency and
reduce waste and redundancy. Maximize the value of every dollar through improving
purchasing practices, productivity, and how services are delivered (e.g., contracting vs.
in-house).
Cultivate Agility and Opportunity. To remain truly nimble, the city must maintain the
capacity to seize emerging opportunities and respond to unforeseen challenges. While
lean operations are essential, true agility requires a strategic buffer in both staffing and
budgeting. We will advance this goal by building up the Strategic Opportunities
Fund and managing workloads and priorities to ensure staff have the necessary
bandwidth to pivot when circumstances shift.
Prioritize Organizational Health and Talent
Retention. Fiscal sustainability should not come at the expense of City employees.
Our city team is highly performing and operates near-full capacity; therefore, reducing
staff without a corresponding decrease in service levels creates unsustainable
workloads and erodes morale. To remain a competitive employer, the City should strive
to maintain compensation and benefits that align with comparable municipalities. Doing
so makes a difference in attracting and retaining the high-quality talent necessary to
serve our community effectively.
Ensure Transparency and Accountability. Include the public in the Financial
Sustainability Plan. Update the plan regularly. Using our communication
channels, report on the plan’s progress and status to the City Council and the
public. Ensure the FSP is clear, accessible, and understandable to our residents.

Recommended Motion
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 4037 establishing the Voluntary Separation Incentive Program (VSIP) for eligible City employees. The Resolution reflects the FSP
process and incorporates input from department directors, the City Attorney, union representatives, and Council direction.
Summary/Background
The City is evaluating strategies through the Financial Sustainability Plan (FSP) to align services and staffing with long‑term fiscal realities. As part of this effort, the City Council
expressed support for implementing a Voluntary Separation Incentive Program (VSIP) as a proactive, nondisruptive workforce tool. The program aims to:
Reduce long‑term personnel costs
Create organizational flexibility for restructuring
Avoid involuntary layoffs
Reallocate staffing toward core and essential services
Council indicated at the April 14, 2026, FSP Work Session their interest in the VSIP concept. A draft VSIP resolution was included in the April 21 Special Council Meeting packet,
confirming Council’s intent to consider adoption.
The City has notified representatives of IAFF, Police Guild, and AFSCME and has met to bargain the impacts. Individual written agreements will be executed between the City, the
employee, and unions (as applicable).
Proposed Program Timeline
Effective date of Resolution: April 28, 2026
Application window: April 29 – June 28, 2026
Mandatory review periods:
45‑day review for employees age 40+
7‑day revocation period after signing
These timelines comply with federal age‑discrimination requirements and ensure informed consent.
Next Steps (if adopted)
Launch application window and provide detailed program information to all employees
Conduct case‑by‑case eligibility and operational impact reviews
Return to Council with outcomes or recommended adjustments
Fiscal Consideration
While the program requires upfront incentive payments, the long‑term budget impact is expected to be cost‑reducing, particularly when positions are eliminated, held vacant, or
realigned at lower cost. Department‑specific impacts will be calculated during application review.

Section 4. Notification and Separation Requirements
A. To be considered for participation in this Program, Eligible Employees must apply by submitting an official application to the Human Resources Department within sixty (60) days of
the Effective Date of this Resolution. Employees who submit an official application by this
deadline will then be provided additional information, along with review periods as established by law. Applications will be reviewed by administration and may be approved or denied consistent with the purposes of the VSIP set forth in Recital C above. All decisions are subject to the discretionary approval of the City Manager.
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 91 of 205

STATEMENT OF WORK CONTRACT
CARELON BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, INC.
1.PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
1.1. In 2021, nationwide settlements were reached to resolve all opioids litigation brought by
states and local political subdivisions against the three largest pharmaceutical distributors, McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen and against manufacturer Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its parent company Johnson & Johnson. These National Settlements have been finalized, and payments have already begun.
In late 2022, agreements were announced with three pharmacy chains—CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart—and two additional manufacturers—Allergan and Teva. In January 2023, each of those pharmacy chains and manufacturers confirmed that a sufficient number of states had agreed to the settlements to move forward. The 2022 National Settlements have
now all been finalized. Further litigation against opioid pharmaceutical supply chain participants may occur and the parties hereto understand that any future settlements or awards will likely be managed the same way as previous settlements, i.e., subject to the same agreements currently pertaining to the member jurisdictions/ the Entity and this Contract.
Under both the 2021 and 2022 National Settlements, at least 85% of the funds going directly to participating states and subdivisions must be used for abatement of the opioid epidemic, with the overwhelming bulk of the proceeds restricted to funding future
abatement efforts by state and local governments. The settlement documents for the 2021 and 2022 National Settlements outline the harm caused by entities within the pharmaceutical supply chain who manufacture, distribute, and dispense prescription opioids as well as hold them accountable for the damage they have caused to communities across the country.
The Entity consists of “participating local governments” that have signed onto the One Washington Memorandum of Understanding between Washington Municipalities (One WA MOU), which allocates the settlement funds to participating local governments in the State of Washington. The One WA MOU also requires the establishment of Opioid
Abatement Councils. The Entity established, through interlocal agreement dated June 22,
2023, the North Central Washington Opioid Abatement Council (NCWOAC).
1.2. The Entity is contracting with Contractor to develop contracts within the prescribed allocation region of North Central Washington. The contracts will focus on area specific Entity priorities regarding the, management, distribution, and reporting of opioid
settlement funds. The funding source for this Contract is the Opioid Funds (as that term is defined in the One WA MOU).
1.3. The Entity appoints the Chelan County Board of Commissioners to act on its behalf as the
fiscal agent for the purposes of this Contract. The other participating local governments
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 104 of 205
within the Entity shall timely remit their portion of the Opioid Funds to Chelan County for
the purposes of compensating Contractor for carrying out the terms of this Contract on
behalf of the Entity for the scope of work as directed by the NCWOAC. If a participating local government within the Entity fails to remit its portion of the Opioid Funds to the fiscal agent, then the fiscal agent is only obligated to compensate Contractor for those participating local governments of the Entity who have remitted their respective portion of
the Opioid Funds. The Fiscal agent will not enforce outstanding fund balances. Contractor
bears the responsibility of enforcement of outstanding local government fund balance commitment.

3.5. Contractor shall develop and implement a methodology acceptable to NCWOAC for obtaining and awarding proposals through a competitive solicitation process for the use of Opioid Funds.

COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 105 of 205
solicitation, NCWOAC will provide Contractor with priority strategies. Contractor shall
establish and monitor contracts with providers in support of priority strategies provided by
NCWOAC.

EXHIBIT A TO CONTRACT
ONE WASHINGTON MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN WASHINGTON MUNICIPALITIES Whereas, the people of the State of Washington and its communities have been harmed by entities within the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain who manufacture, distribute, and dispense prescription opioids;
Whereas, certain Local Governments, through their elected representatives and counsel, are engaged in litigation seeking to hold these entities within the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain of prescription opioids accountable for the damage they have caused to the Local Governments;
Whereas, Local Governments and elected officials share a common desire to abate and alleviate the impacts of harms caused by these entities within the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain throughout the State of Washington, and strive to ensure that principals of equity and equitable service delivery are factors considered in the allocation and use of Opioid Funds; and
Whereas, certain Local Governments engaged in litigation and the other cities and counties in Washington desire to agree on a form of allocation for Opioid Funds they receive from entities within the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain.
Now therefore, the Local Governments enter into this Memorandum of Understanding
(“MOU”) relating to the allocation and use of the proceeds of Settlements described. A. Definitions

3. “Effective Date” shall mean the date on which a court of competent jurisdiction, including any bankruptcy court, enters the first Settlement by order or consent decree. The Parties anticipate that more than one Settlement will be administered according to the terms of this MOU, but that the first entered
Settlement will trigger allocation of Opioid Funds in accordance with Section B
herein, and the formation of the Regional Abatement Advisory Councils in Section E.
4. “Litigating Local Government(s)” shall mean Local Governments
that filed suit against any Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participant pertaining to the Opioid epidemic prior to September 1, 2020.
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 132 of 205

Settlement as defined in this MOU. 8. “Opioid Abatement Council” shall have the meaning described in Section C below.
9. “Participating Local Government(s)” shall mean all counties, cities, and towns within the geographic boundaries of the State that have chosen to sign on to this MOU. The Participating Local Governments may be referred to separately in this MOU as “Participating Counties” and “Participating Cities and
Towns” (or “Participating Cities or Towns,” as appropriate) or “Parties.” 10. “Pharmaceutical Supply Chain” shall mean the process and channels through which controlled substances are manufactured, marketed, promoted, distributed, and/or dispensed, including prescription opioids.
11. “Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participant” shall mean any entity that engages in or has engaged in the manufacture, marketing, promotion, distribution, and/or dispensing of a prescription opioid, including any entity that has assisted in any of the above.

16.The “Washington State Accountable Communities of Health” or
“ACH” shall mean the nine (9) regions described in Section C below.
B.Allocation of Settlement Proceeds for Approved Purposes
1.All Opioid Funds shall be held in a QSF and distributed by the
Trustee, for the benefit of the Participating Local Governments, only in amanner
consistent with this MOU. Distribution of Opioid Funds will be subject to the mechanisms for auditing and reporting set forth below to provide public accountability and transparency.
2.All Opioid Funds, regardless of allocation, shall be utilized
pursuant to Approved Purposes as defined herein and set forth in Exhibit A. Compliance with this requirement shall be verified through reporting, as set out in this MOU.
3.The division of Opioid Funds shall first be allocated to
Participating Counties based on the methodology utilized for the Negotiation
Class in In Re: National Prescription Opiate Litigation, United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Case No. 1:17-md-02804-DAP. The allocation model uses three equally weighted factors: (1) the amount of opioids shipped to the county; (2) the number of opioid deaths that occurred in that
county; and (3) the number of people who suffer opioid use disorder in that
county. The allocation percentages that result from application of this methodology are set forth in Exhibit B. In the event any county does not participate in this MOU, that county’s percentage share shall be reallocated proportionally amongst the Participating Counties by applying this same
methodology to only the Participating Counties.
4.Allocation and distribution of Opioid Funds within eachParticipating County will be based on regional agreements as described in Section C.
C.Regional Agreements
1.For the purpose of this MOU, the regional structure for decision- making related to opioid fund allocation will be based upon the nine (9) pre-
defined Washington State Accountable Community of Health Regions (Allocation Regions). Reference to these pre-defined regions is solely for the purpose of
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 134 of 205
drawing geographic boundaries to facilitate regional agreements for use of Opioid
Funds. The Allocation Regions are as follows:
• King County (Single County Region)
• Pierce County (Single County Region)
• Olympic Community of Health Region (Clallam, Jefferson, and Kitsap
Counties)
• Cascade Pacific Action Alliance Region (Cowlitz, Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, Thurston, Lewis, and Wahkiakum Counties)
• North Sound Region (Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, and Whatcom Counties)
• Southwest Region (Clark, Klickitat, and Skamania Counties)
• Greater Columbia Region (Asotin, Benton, Columbia, Franklin, Garfield, Kittitas, Walla Walla, Whitman, and Yakima Counties)
• Spokane Region (Adams, Ferry, Lincoln, Pend Oreille, Spokane, and Stevens Counties)
• North Central Region (Chelan, Douglas, Grant, and Okanogan Counties)
2. Opioid Funds will be allocated, distributed and managed within each Allocation Region, as determined by its Regional Agreement as set forth below. If an Allocation Region does not have a Regional Agreement enumerated
in this MOU, the default mechanism for allocation, distribution and management of Opioid Funds described in Section C.4.a will apply.
3. King County’s Regional Agreement is reflected in Exhibit C to this MOU.
4. All other Allocation Regions that have not specified in this MOU a
methodology for allocating, distributing and managing Opioid Funds, will apply the following default methodology: a. Opioid Funds shall be allocated within each region by taking the
allocation for a Participating County from Exhibit B and apportioning
those funds between that Participating County and its Participating Cities and Towns. Exhibit B also sets forth the allocation to Participating Counties and the Participating Cities or Towns within the Counties based
on a default allocation formula. As set forth above in B.3, to determine the
allocation to a county, this formula utilizes: (1) the amount of opioids shipped to the county; (2) the number of opioid deaths that occurred in that county; and (3) the number of people who suffer opioid use disorder in that county. To determine the allocation within a county, the formula
utilizes historical federal data showing how the specific Counties and the
Cities and Towns within the Counties have made opioids epidemic-related expenditures in the past. This is the same methodology used in the National Settlement Agreements for county and intra-county allocations. A Participating County, and the Cities and Towns within it may enter into
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 135 of 205
a separate intra-county allocation agreement to modify how the Opioid
Funds are allocated amongst themselves, provided the modification is in
writing and agreed to by all Participating Local Governments in the County. Such an agreement shall not modify any of the other terms or requirements of this MOU.
b. 10% of the Opioid Funds received by the Region will bereserved,
on an annual basis, for administrative costs related to the OAC. The OAC will provide an annual accounting for actual costs and any reserved funds that exceed actual costs will be reallocated to Participating Local Governments within the Region.
c. Cities and towns with a population of less than 10,000 shall be excluded from the allocation, with the exception of cities and towns that are Litigating Participating Local Governments. The portion of the Opioid Funds that would have been allocated to a city or town with a population
of less than 10,000 that is not a Litigating Participating Local Government shall be redistributed to Participating Counties in the manner directed in C.4.a above. d. Each Participating County, City, or Town may elect to have its
share re-allocated to the OAC in which it is located. The OAC will then utilize this share for the benefit of Participating Local Governments within that Allocation Region, consistent with the Approved Purposes set forth in Exhibit A. A Participating Local Government’s election to forego its allocation of Opioid Funds shall apply to all future allocations unless the
Participating Local Government notifies its respective OAC otherwise. If a Participating Local Government elects to forego its allocation of the Opioid Funds, the Participating Local Government shall be excused from the reporting requirements set forth in this Agreement.
e. Participating Local Governments that receive a direct payment maintain full discretion over the use and distribution of their allocation of Opioid Funds, provided the Opioid Funds are used solely for Approved Purposes. Reasonable administrative costs for a Participating Local Government to administer its allocation of Opioid Funds shall not
exceed actual costs or 10% of the Participating Local Government’s
allocation of Opioid Funds, whichever is less.
f. A Local Government that chooses not to become a Participating Local Government will not receive a direct allocation of Opioid Funds.
The portion of the Opioid Funds that would have been allocated to a Local Government that is not a Participating Local Government shall be redistributed to Participating Counties in the manner directed in C.4.a above.
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 136 of 205
g. As a condition of receiving a direct payment, each Participating
Local Government that receives a direct payment agrees to undertake the
following actions: i. Developing a methodology for obtaining proposals foruse of Opioid Funds.
ii. Ensuring there is opportunity for community-based input on priorities for Opioid Fund programs and services. iii. Receiving and reviewing proposals for use of Opioid Funds
for Approved Purposes. iv. Approving or denying proposals for use of Opioid Funds for Approved Purposes.
v. Receiving funds from the Trustee for approved proposals and distributing the Opioid Funds to the recipient. vi. Reporting to the OAC and making publicly available all
decisions on Opioid Fund allocation applications,
distributions and expenditures. h. Prior to any distribution of Opioid Funds within the Allocation Region, The Participating Local Governments must establish an Opioid
Abatement Council (OAC) to oversee Opioid Fund allocation,
distribution, expenditures and dispute resolution. The OAC may be a preexisting regional body or may be a new body created for purposesof executing the obligations of this MOU.
i. The OAC for each Allocation Region shall be composed of
representation from both Participating Counties and Participating Towns or Cities within the Region. The method of selecting members, and the terms for which they will serve will be determined by the Allocation Region’s Participating Local Governments. All persons who serve on the OAC must have work or educational experience
pertaining to one or more Approved Uses. j. The Regional OAC will be responsible for the following actions: i. Overseeing distribution of Opioid Funds from Participating
Local Governments to programs and services within the Allocation Region for Approved Purposes. ii. Annual review of expenditure reports from Participating Local Jurisdictions within the Allocation
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 137 of 205
Region for compliance with Approved Purposes and the
terms of this MOU and any Settlement.
iii.In the case where Participating Local Governments choseto forego their allocation of Opioid Funds:
(i)Approving or denying proposals by Participating Local
Governments or community groups to the OAC for use ofOpioid Funds within the Allocation Region.(ii)Directing the Trustee to distribute Opioid Funds foruseby Participating Local Governments or community groups
whose proposals are approved by the OAC.(iii)Administrating and maintaining records of all OACdecisions and distributions of Opioid Funds.
iv.Reporting and making publicly available all decisions on
Opioid Fund allocation applications, distributions andexpenditures by the OAC or directly by Participating LocalGovernments.
v.Developing and maintaining a centralized public dashboard
or other repository for the publication of expenditure datafrom any Participating Local Government that receivesOpioid Funds, and for expenditures by the OAC in thatAllocation Region, which it shall update at least annually.
vi.If necessary, requiring and collecting additional outcome- related data from Participating Local Governments toevaluate the use of Opioid Funds, and all ParticipatingLocal Governments shall comply with such requirements.
vii.Hearing complaints by Participating Local Governmentswithin the Allocation Region regarding alleged failure to(1)use Opioid Funds for Approved Purposes or (2) complywith reporting requirements.
5.Participating Local Governments may agree and elect to share,pool, or collaborate with their respective allocation of Opioid Funds in anymanner they choose, so long as such sharing, pooling, or collaboration isused for Approved Purposes and complies with the terms of this MOU andany Settlement.
6.Nothing in this MOU should alter or change any ParticipatingLocal Government’s rights to pursue its own claim. Rather, the intent ofthis MOU is to join all parties who wish to be Participating LocalGovernments to agree upon an allocation formula for any Opioid Funds
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 138 of 205
from any future binding Settlement with one or more Pharmaceutical
Supply Chain Participants for all Local Governments in the State of
Washington.
7.If any Participating Local Government disputes the amount itreceives from its allocation of Opioid Funds, the Participating Local
Government shall alert its respective OAC within sixty (60) days of
discovering the information underlying the dispute. Failure to alert itsOAC within this time frame shall not constitute a waiver of theParticipating Local Government’s right to seek recoupment of anydeficiency in its allocation of Opioid Funds.
8.If any OAC concludes that a Participating Local Government’sexpenditure of its allocation of Opioid Funds did not comply with theApproved Purposes listed in Exhibit A, or the terms of this MOU, or thatthe Participating Local Government otherwise misused its allocation of
Opioid Funds, the OAC may take remedial action against the allegedoffending Participating Local Government. Such remedial action is left tothe discretion of the OAC and may include withholding future OpioidFunds owed to the offending Participating Local Government or requiringthe offending Participating Local Government to reimburse improperly
expended Opioid Funds back to the OAC to be re-allocated to theremaining Participating Local Governments within that Region.
9.All Participating Local Governments and OAC shall maintain all
records related to the receipt and expenditure of Opioid Funds for no less
than five (5) years and shall make such records available for review byany other Participating Local Government or OAC, or the public. Recordsrequested by the public shall be produced in accordance withWashington’s Public Records Act RCW 42.56.001 et seq. Records
requested by another Participating Local Government or an OAC shall be
produced within twenty-one (21) days of the date the record request wasreceived. This requirement does not supplant any Participating LocalGovernment or OAC’s obligations under Washington’s Public RecordsAct RCW 42.56.001 et seq.
D.Payment of Counsel and Litigation Expenses
1.The Litigating Local Governments have incurred attorneys’ feesand litigation expenses relating to their prosecution of claims against the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participants, and this prosecution has inured to the
benefit of all Participating Local Governments. Accordingly, a Washington
Government Fee Fund (“GFF”) shall be established that ensures that all Parties that receive Opioid Funds contribute to the payment of fees and expenses incurred to prosecute the claims against the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participants, regardless of whether they are litigating or non-litigating entities.
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 139 of 205
2.The amount of the GFFshall be based as follows: the funds to bedeposited in the GFF shall be equal to 15% of the total cash value of the Opioid
Funds.
3.The maximum percentage of any contingency fee agreementpermitted for compensation shall be 15% of the portion of the Opioid Funds allocated to the Litigating Local Government that is a party to the contingency fee
agreement, plus expenses attributable to that Litigating Local Government. Under no circumstances may counsel collect more for its work on behalf of a Litigating Local Government than it would under its contingency agreement with that Litigating Local Government.
4.Payments from the GFF shall be overseen by a committee (the“Opioid Fee and Expense Committee”) consisting of one representative of the following law firms: (a) Keller Rohrback L.LP.; (b) Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP; (c) Goldfarb & Huck Roth Riojas, PLLC; and (d) Napoli Shkolnik PLLC. The role of the Opioid Fee and Expense Committee shall be limited to
ensuring that the GFF is administered in accordance with this Section.
5.In the event that settling Pharmaceutical Supply ChainParticipantsdo not pay the fees and expenses of the Participating Local Governments directly at the time settlement is achieved, payments to counsel for Participating Local
Governments shall be made from the GFF over not more than three years, with 50% paid within 12 months of the date of Settlement and 25% paid in each subsequent year, or at the time the total Settlement amount is paid to the Trustee by the Defendants, whichever is sooner.
6.Any funds remaining in the GFF in excess of: (i) the amountsneeded to cover Litigating Local Governments’ private counsel’s representation agreements, and (ii) the amounts needed to cover the common benefit tax discussed in Section C.8 below (if not paid directly by the Defendants in connection with future settlement(s), shall revert to the Participating Local
Governments pro rata according to the percentages set forth in Exhibits B, to be used for Approved Purposes as set forth herein and in Exhibit A.
7.In the event that funds in the GFF are not sufficient to pay all feesand expenses owed under this Section, payments to counsel for all Litigating
Local Governments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis. The Litigating Local
Governments will not be responsible for any of these reduced amounts.
8.The Parties anticipate that any Opioid Funds they receive will besubject to a common benefit “tax” imposed by the court in In Re: National
Prescription Opiate Litigation, United States District Court for the Northern
District of Ohio, Case No. 1:17-md-02804-DAP (“Common Benefit Tax”). If this occurs, the Participating Local Governments shall first seek to have the settling
COML Council Packet 4-28-26, Page 140 of 205
defendants pay the Common Benefit Tax. If the settling defendants do not agree
to pay the Common Benefit Tax, then the Common Benefit Tax shall be paid
from the Opioid Funds and by both litigating and non-litigating Local Governments. This payment shall occur prior to allocation and distribution of funds to the Participating Local Governments. In the event that GFF is not fully exhausted to pay the Litigating Local Governments’ private counsel’s
representation agreements, excess funds in the GFF shall be applied to pay the
Common Benefit Tax (if any).
E.General Terms

Summary/Background
The 2026 first quarter financial results are attached for your review and consideration.
Fiscal Consideration
Citywide, revenues ended the first quarter of 2026 under budget at $23.2 million or 19.6% of budget, while exceeding the first quarter of 2025 by $272k or 1.2% above 2025 actuals.
General Fund* revenues are below budget by 7.0% at $7.0 million and are ahead of 2025 by $58k or 0.8% higher. Sales and public safety taxes, license and permits, and interest
earnings are offset by timing of receipts for property tax collections, intergovernmental revenues and charges for goods and services.
Citywide, expenditures are under budget by 5.6% to end the quarter at $24.4 million or 19.4% of budget. Compared to 2025, first quarter expenditures are $961k below 2025 actuals or
3.8% lower. Variances to budget are due to timing of major capital projects completion, while variances to 2025 are due to wages and benefit increases which are offset by decreases in
supplies, services and capital projects. General Fund* expenditures are slightly ahead of budget at $10.1 million or 25.5% and are ahead of the 2025 actuals for the first quarter by
$368k or 3.8%. The General Fund expenditures include the transfer of $250k to the Rainy-Day fund at the beginning of the year as well as the transfer of funds received in 2025 from
the sale of property to the Strategic Opportunities Fund.
Citywide fund balance ended the quarter at $68.7 million with net gains in the Rainy-Day, Capital Improvements and Risk Management Funds, while the General Fund, Other Operating,
Enterprise and Internal Service Funds all used beginning fund balances. The General Fund* ended the quarter with a fund balance of $8.2 million, using $3.1 million of fund balance.
Further details of revenues, expenditures, and fund balances are documented in the 2026 1st quarter budget report and exhibit attached.
* - General Fund does not include the Street Operations fund, which is included with Other Operating Funds in the attached report and exhibit.

MEMORANDUM
To: Rob Karlinsey, City Manager
From: Madeline Prentice, Finance Director
Subject: 2026 1st Quarter Budget Revenue and Expenditure Report
I am pleased to submit the City of Moses Lake’s 2026 first quarter actual results compared to
budgeted revenue and expenditure report for all city funds. Balances shown are subject to final
adjustments made as a result of month-end and year-end closing processes. Year-end closing
processes will not be officially concluded until the State Auditor’s work is completed.
Overall, the City is performing under budget for the first quarter of 2026 in both revenues and
expenditures. At the end of first quarter of 2026, we are seeing typical variances tied to timing
of revenue receipts, position vacancies and timing of expenses. Citywide, we ended the quarter
under budget in revenues at $23.2 million (19.6%), with expenses also under budget by 5.6% at
$24.4 million (19.4% of budget). The revenue shortfall is largely due to timing of revenues for
property taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and charges for services, and are discussed in more
detail below. Expenditures are largely under budget due to the timing of expenditures for other
operating funds and capital projects that either haven’t been started or won’t be completed until
later in the year.
This report is summarized by type of fund, and reported by functional type, and includes the

General Fund Revenue Analysis
Property Tax – The first half of the Property Tax assessment is due to the Grant County
Treasurer by April 30th with the second half due October 31st. A significant portion (roughly
55%-65%) of each assessment is remitted to the City in the month following the due date, with
the remaining amount collected remitted in the second month following the due date. The
budget was set based on assumptions of new construction and collection rates and then
discounted for collection delinquencies. The second quarter’s results will include the first half
collections of property tax assessments.
Sales Tax – Actual sales tax at the end of the first quarter are on budget at 25.7% for collections
of just over $2.82 million. First quarter sales taxes are the same as 2024’s at $2.82 million.
Sales Tax-Public Safety - This represents the 0.3% Criminal Justice Tax. Public safety sales tax
is ahead of budget by 1.6% to end the quarter at $505k or 26.6%. Compared to the first quarter
of 2025, public safety sales tax is higher by $51k or 11.3% ahead of the same period.
Utility Tax – This revenue source experiences fluctuations either from rate adjustments or
seasonal usage. Utility tax ended the first quarter slightly below budget at $1.2 million (22.7%)
and 5.7% or $13k below the first quarter in 2025. Decreases in cellular telephone, electricity and

10% above budget at $13.9k and the same as the first quarter in 2025. Leasehold Excise Tax is
0.9% above budget at $6.5k and ahead of 2025 by 12.8%.
Licenses and Permits – The majority of this revenue is generated by development and is
difficult to budget for because it is volatile by nature. Licenses and permits revenue is ahead of
budget by 1.4% to end the first quarter at $285k (26.4%). Compared to the first quarter in 2025,
we have collected $108k less license and permit fees and are 27.6% lower.
Intergovernmental Revenue – This category includes State-shared revenue, the PUD privilege
tax, Criminal Justice funding and other grants. Intergovernmental revenue ended the first quarter
at 21.7% for collections of $396k, down 3.3% compared to budget. Intergovernmental revenues
are higher than the first quarter of 2025 by 244.3%, largely due to the timing of receipts from the
SAFER grant. Criminal justice funding is slightly behind 2025 by 1.6%. The PUD privilege tax
is typically received during the 2nd quarter of the year.
Charges for Goods and Services primarily consist of:
Fees charged for Parks and Recreation Programs,
Zoning, subdivision, plan check and annexation fees,
School Resource Officers (SRO’s) reimbursed by Moses Lake School District, and;
Fire protective inspection fees and other fire reimbursements
The majority of fees charged for Parks and Recreation programs are received during the third
quarter of the year. Parks, Recreation, and Museum activity and programming fees for the first
quarter are under budget by 12.5%, and below 2025 by 8.1%. Zoning, subdivision, and plan
check fees are slightly ahead of budget by 0.8%, to end the first quarter at $155k and are below
first quarter 2025 by 24.0%. SRO and Fire reimbursement fees for the first quarter are below
budget by 5.6% and behind 2025 by $68k or 40.1%.
Miscellaneous Revenues/Other Financing Resources include interest earnings on investments,
facility rentals and other financing sources such as sales of surplus or capital assets, debt
proceeds, special or extraordinary items that are unusual or infrequent in occurrence or interfund
loans. Interest earnings remain strong through the first quarter resulting in revenues
outperforming budget by 36.5%, while lagging 2025 by $30k or 14.9%. Facility rentals for the
first quarter are ahead of budget by 9.7% to end the first quarter at $63k and are ahead of 2025
by $8k or 13.9%. Other financing resources reflect the funds received in 2025 from the sale of

city properties that Council approved to fund the Strategic Opportunities Fund approved during
the 2026 budget process and created on 1/1/2026. The money was moved from the General
Fund to the Strategic Opportunities Fund at the beginning of 2026.
Other Financing Sources are made up primarily of the City Administrative fee charged to funds
for services provided by the executive branch, human resources, and finance and transfers in.
The charges are based on budget throughout the year and are trued-up to actuals once we have
finished the final accounting for the year.
Summary - Overall, General Fund revenue is below budget by 7.0% to end the first quarter at
$7.0 million and is ahead of 2025 revenues by $58k or 0.8% higher. Sales and public safety
taxes, licenses and permits, and interest collections are being offset by timing of receipts for
property tax collections, intergovernmental revenues and charges for goods and services.
We have transferred the $250k approved in the 2026 budget from the General Fund to the
Rainy-Day Fund. Including interest earnings, the Rainy-Day Fund now has a balance over
$776k. An additional $122k will be transferred to the Rainy-Day Fund from the Homeless
Services Fund effective 4/1/2026. This transfer is the interest allocated to the Homeless Services
Fund since 2021 that Council authorized staff to transfer to the Rainy-Day Fund at the March 24,
2026, regular Council meeting.

General Fund Expenditure Analysis
The General Fund Expenditures ended the first quarter above budget by 0.5% at $10.1 million
(25.5%). Expenses came in under 2025 by 3.9% and were $407k lower. The decrease over 2025
consists primarily of reduced services ($373k, 11.2%) and supplies ($90k, 38.3%) costs.
General government funds are ahead of budget by 2.7% to end the first quarter at $1.4M. This is
largely due to professional services costs associated with the audit and audit support, recruitment
of a new Finance Director, and higher wages and benefits costs. General government funds are
ahead of 2025 by $450k or 48%, due largely to increased Main Street Tax Credit payments to the
Downtown Moses Lake Association and payment to the Grant County Animal Outreach for

capital construction costs of a new animal shelter (ARPA funded) as well as increased wage and
benefit costs and higher professional services costs.
Public Safety costs are 1.6% ahead of budget at $5.3 million (26.6%) largely due to higher wages
and benefit costs and increased supply costs. Public Safety is below 2025 by $396k or 7.0%
largely due to vacant positions that will not be filled due to restructuring or cost cutting
measures.
Engineering is above budget by 1.8%, ending the first quarter at $627k or 26.8% of budget, and
is higher than 2025 by $18k or 3.0%. This is largely due to increased wages and benefits which
are offset by reductions in costs for services.
Planning/Economic Development ended the first quarter essentially on budget at $608k (24.7%)
in expenses and are below 2025 by $113k or 15.6%. Vacant positions that remain unfilled and
decreased professional services caused favorable variances compared to 2025.
Culture and Recreation are under budget by 2.2% at $1.8 million or 22.8% of budget at the end
of the first quarter. Compared to 2025, Culture and Recreation is 2.5% or $45k higher as a result
of wage and benefit and services increases, offset by decreases in supplies.
Other Financing Uses incudes debt service, capital expenditures and transfers-out to the Rainy-
Day Fund. Interest only payments on debt are made during the first half of the year, with
principal payments due in June, August and December. Capital expenditures are for the Tyler
ERP software implementation currently underway in Finance.
Conclusion - General Fund ended the first quarter slightly ahead of budget at $10.1 million or
25.5% of adopted budget in expenditures and ahead of the same period in 2025 by 3.8% or
$368k. Compared to budget, overspending is largely due to increased services and supplies,
while the increase over 2025 is due to salary and benefit increases offset by decreases in supplies
and services.

Other Funds Analysis
At the end of the first quarter, Other Fund revenues are 4.8% under budget at 20.2% or $16.0
million, while expenses are 8.4% under budget at $14.3 million or 16.6% of budget. Capital
improvement and debt service funds are the drivers of the revenue and expense shortfall due to
the timing of revenues from grants or transfers from other funds for debt payments, as well as the
payment of expenses related to capital projects and debt service. Liability insurance is paid in
full in January of each year. Revenues are slightly behind 2025 by $58k or .4%, while expenses
are lower by $1.3 million or 8.5%. The expenditure decrease over 2025 is largely due to
increased wages and benefits offset by reduced supplies, services and capital expenditures.
Other Operating Funds are ahead of budget in revenues at $2.0 million (26.5%), while expenses
are under budget by 7.1% at $2.2 million or 17.9% of budget. The spending decrease is largely
due to Tourism expenditures that are not paid out until after events have taken place, (generally
in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the year), capital projects that don’t get paid until projects are
completed, and ARPA transfers that will occur after expenditures are complete. Revenues
exceeded 2025 by $187k or 10.3% mainly due to the transfer of funds to the Strategic
Opportunities fund and drug seizure funds. The first quarter 2026 expenditures are essentially on
track with 2025 expenditures for the same time period.
Enterprise funds are slightly under budget in revenues to end the first quarter at $6.9 million
(21.4% of budget), while expenses are under budget by 4.0% at $7.1 million (21.0% of budget).
Revenues exceeded 2025 by $201k or 3.0% while expenses are lower than the same period in

2025 by $169k or 2.3%. At the end of the first quarter, wages and benefits are higher but are
offset by decreases in service costs and internal service allocations.
Internal Service funds are slightly ahead of budget in revenues to end the first quarter at $1.9
million (25.8% of budget) and below budget in expense at $2.1 million or 23.0% of budget.
Compared to 2025, revenues are lower $311k (13.8%) while expenses are lower by $841k or
29.1%. Underspending compared to budget and 2025 is the result of the solar array project and
the operations building re-roof that were completed in the first quarter of 2025.
Variances in capital funds (14% under budget in revenues at $3.1 million, 21.5% under budget in
expenditures at $964k) are related to timing of major projects. Capital funds are higher than
2025 revenues by $298k (10.7%) and below expenses by $134k (12.2%) due to timing of
payments for projects that won’t be completed until later in the year.
Risk Management/ Employee Benefit Reserves are ahead of budget in both revenue and expense
due to the payment of liability insurance in January of each year. Transfers from other funds for
the payment occur in the same period that the payment is made. Compared to 2025, revenue and
expenses are below actuals by $424k (17.4%) and $182k (8.4%) respectively due to decreases in
liability insurance costs largely as a result of changing deductible amounts.
The City’s remaining bonds are the 2016 general obligation bonds which mature in 2026 and the
State Treasurer LOCAL program borrowings for two fire trucks and the Larson Recreation
Center. Principal payments are made in June, August and December, with interest only
payments on the 2016 general obligation bonds due in February of each year.
Conclusion
Overall, Citywide results through the first quarter of 2026 are below both budgeted revenues and
expenditures. Citywide revenues ended the quarter at $23.2 million at 19.6% and exceeded the
first quarter of 2025 by $272k or 1.2%. Variances are due to normal timing of receipt of funds
from grant funds, taxes or other revenue sources. Citywide expenditures are under budget by
5.6%, to end the quarter at $24.4 million or 19.4% of budget. Compared to 2025, first quarter
expenditures are $961k below 2025 actuals or 3.8% lower. Variances to budget are due to
timing of major capital projects completion, while variances to 2025 are the result of salary and
benefit increases offset by decreases in supplies, services and capital projects.
All funds have positive fund balances. At the end of the first quarter, Citywide fund balance saw
a decrease of $1.2 million with net gains in the Rainy-Day, Capital Improvements and Risk
Management & Employee Benefit Reserves funds, while the General Fund, Other Operating,
Enterprise, and Internal Service Funds all used beginning fund balance. The General Fund saw a
use of fund balance of $3.1 million resulting in an ending fund balance of $8.2 million.
Collection of property taxes should result in a net gain in the General Fund balance at the end of
the second quarter.
