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. RCW 42.24.080 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. RCW 42.24.180 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. 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.

This program, run by the State Treasurer, allows local governments to use the borrowing power of the State to issue bonds on our behalf. The City will ultimately enter into an interlocal agreement with the State for the bond repayment. Background We discussed this option during the budget process. At the last study session on the Larson Recreation Center (LRC), an updated spreadsheet was presented that included available resources to pay for the debt service on the LRC, the two Fire apparatus currently on order, and remodeling the police station after the Parks and Recreation administrative offices moves to the new facility. We estimate the funds available when the Civic Center debt is paid off, as well as an allocation of Hotel/Motel tax, will be more than adequate to make debt service payments for these three purposes. Fiscal and Policy Implications This transaction does not bind Council to issue the debt. It is simply the first step in a process so that the state can screen our application and determine if they are willing to go forward with the partnership.

The design and specifications are complete and we have received a very good quote for a new build. This is the first new build (non-remount) medic unit that we have gone forward with in over a decade. Background Our existing Medic 5 has over 170,000 miles on it. This unit is not recommended to remain in front line service for emergency medical response due to age, mileage, and reliability issues of on board systems such as suction and oxygen. The ambulance budget has stabilized and with the GEMT funding in place we have cash on hand to purchase this unit. We received several quotations for a replacement unit and staff is recommending moving forward with a new Osage Ambulance from Sawtooth Emergency Vehicles. Sawtooth has provided us a very good quote under the Houston / Galveston purchasing cooperative agreement, of which the City of Moses Lake is a member. This unit provides us additional response capability and will move into the first out medic unit position at Station 1. The unit will be equipped with an auto load system that provides an engineering solution to reducing back injuries in our personnel when loading obese patients. Fiscal and Policy Implications The unit purchase price is $239,897. The ambulance fund has cash availability to purchase this unit. Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 54 of 128 Options Option Results • Approve contract with Sawtooth Emergency Vehicles We will be placed into que for a new medic unit with an anticipated delivery in the 2nd quarter of 2021 • Reject the contract with Sawtooth Emergency Vehicles We would continue to use this medic unit that has failing on board patient care systems and is “old” by industry standards for medic units Staff Recommendation Staff recommends moving forward with the purchase of this unit to help provide adequate emergency medical response for our citizens.

Due to leadership changes and development pressures, the City’s comprehensive plan was due for its periodic update in 2017. With the delay and the change in leadership, the City Council has made it the number one priority of the City to have an intensive process that will bring the city’s plan up to date and engage the community in its outcome and its implementation. In addition, the City Council has identified several projects that need to be built into an updated Capital Facilities Plan that can be core projects to anchor a renewed community spirit and investment in the City of Moses Lake. Examples include the Larson Recreation Center, the potential rail reclamation project through city center, waterfront development, housing needs and the assessment being done for the future of the lake quality. To this end, the City Council budgeted funds in 2020 for the update of the Comprehensive Plan and then grant dollars were awarded by the Department of Commerce for the creation of the Housing Action Plan. Much of the analysis needed to create a Housing Action Plan can be utilized for the update of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. In March, Requests for Proposals were released to develop a plan based on the following guidance: The City of Moses Lake is requesting proposals from qualified consulting firms to carry out a very public and interactive process to update the community’s vision, goals and policies within the framework of an update to the City’s overall comprehensive plan and development regulations, with emphasis on: Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 59 of 128 • An updated land use element that redefines the community’s needs and demographics and includes deep analysis to support urban growth boundary limits • A new housing element informed by community visual preferencing exercises to build support around a variety of housing types coupled with the development of an associated Housing Action Plan • Identified subareas appropriate for mixed use/commercial hubs and associated development opportunities • Draft goals and policies for all mandatory and optional elements of the comprehensive plan • An overall implementation plan that will position the City for future infrastructure grant programs, including the Local Revitalization Financing program, recently reauthorized by the Washington State Legislature. On April 17, nine very competitive proposals were received. A shortlist was created and a Steering Committee was established to review the finalists and recommend firms to participate in an interview process. Council Member Eck is a member of the Steering Committee. On Thursday, May 7, interviews were held and Berk Consulting, Inc. is being recommended for the contract award. Financial Overview $150,000 is available for this work, $100,000 of which is made available via the grant from the Department of Commerce. This funding was updated in the 2020 Encumbrance Ordinance presented for your approval. Options Option Results • Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Contract for Services City Manager will negotiate the scope of work and execute a contract • Take no action.

Wages. Employees pay rates shall increase 3% prior to being placed on the Salary Scale and the new salary scale, which already includes the 3% pay increase, shall be paid effective February 3, 2020. Upon ratification of the contract employees will be paid a signing bonus of $1500. Wage study/Wage Table – Employees will be placed on the new salary grid attached, and then move through the grid annually until reaching the top of their range. New hires will not receive a step increase until they finish their probation. They will again receive a step increase at the start of the year, (January) to get them on the annual cycle of step increases. Example: An employee is hired in June of 2020, he/she is on 12 months of probation so he/she won’t get a step increase until June of 2021 but then would get another step in January of 2021. Once the employee reaches the top step of the range (Step R) pay increases will be based on annual cost of living increases. _________________________ __________________________ _________________________ __________________________ For the City Date For the Union Date Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 90 of 128 STAFF REPORT To: Allison Williams, City Manager From: Cindy Jensen, Finance Director Date: May 5, 2020 Proceeding Type: Old Business Subject: 2020 Budget Appropriation Ordinance Legislative History: •First Presentation: •Second Presentation April 28, 2020 May 12, 2020 •Requested Action: Motion Staff Report Summary The first budget amendment in 2020 is a combination of 2019 programs being carried forward, and new grants or Council initiatives since the 2020 budget was set. In some cases, there is additional revenue to support the additional expenditures, either in program revenues or grants. In those cases that are not supported by additional revenue, the fund balance is adequate to absorb the increase. The attached ordinance increases the 2020 budget for nine funds resulting in citywide total expenditures of $2,030,533 and adds $1,015,000 to estimated revenue, resulting in a net use of fund balance of $1,015,533 in these funds. General Fund is proposed to increase by $129,400, with a revenue increase of $100,000, for a net use of beginning fund balance of $29,400. Background RCW 35.33.091 sets forth the requirements to amend the budget absent a true “emergency”. Often, fund amendments are primarily the result of things already approved by Council but just not completely incorporated in the current budget. Examples in the attached ordinance include the AFSCME bargaining unit settlement; the new Financial Management and Asset Management software systems; pre-payment of the fire apparatus chassis; and the replacement of a K-9 which was retired due to injury. Budgets being carried forward include the completion of the 2018 audit; the balance remaining in the Wellness budget; completion of the Dick Deane shelter; completion of a traffic signalization project; and vehicle purchases that were on order at the end of 2019. New circumstances have also arisen that require additional funding, such as the COVID 19 response and a grant for Comprehensive Plan preparation. The schedule attached to the appropriation ordinance details all of these changes. Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 91 of 128 Fiscal and Policy Implications It is a compliance issue to have actual results be within the authorized appropriation. If we overspend an appropriation, the State Auditor’s Office would likely note it as an area of non- compliance with state laws. Options Option Results • Adopt the Ordinance Increase the appropriation authority in each of the effected funds • Modify the Ordinance Certain items could be removed or added to the ordinance • Do not adopt the Ordinance Some funds may exceed the 2020 budget authority, potentially causing an audit compliance issue Staff Recommendation Staff recommends City Council review and consider adoption of Ordinance 2948 as presented.

In December 2019, the Council held a work session with the providers of services in an effort to understand the work being done to assist the homeless and chronically homeless populations in Moses Lake. In May 2019, the City Council passed Resolution 3764 electing to have the City operate its own homeless program and in August 13, 2019, the City Council passed Resolution 3774 declaring the City’s intent to authorize a sales and use tax for affordable and supportive housing. Due to a turnover in staff, there has been some delay in initiating programs, however, with the onset of the COVID pandemic, the need to provide a way for those most at risk to be housed, tested and quarantined has provided an opportunity for funding to implement a progressive program to assist with the chronic homelessness issue as identified in the Grant County Plan to End Homelessness. In that plan, the January point in time count identified 63% of the unsheltered population was within Moses Lake. Background With the onset of the COVID pandemic, Grant County received $388,000 to create a plan for the identification of, housing of, and quarantining of populations that are at risk. The plan needed to be signed off on by the Public Health Officer. The funding was intended to create additional emergency shelter space, increase access to sanitation and hygiene, and address the costs of the displacement. The plan needed to be done in partnership with the largest city. As a result of the effort, the City has developed the first phase of a plan for the chronically homeless and a request Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 97 of 128 for proposals was issued for a qualified non-profit as a partner in an initial and long term plan to provide a progressive response to the housing need for those most at risk in Moses Lake. Responses to the proposal are due on May 12, 2020. Due to the swift nature of the needed response, staff is requesting Council to authorize the City Manager to contract with the successful organization to carry out the plan. The Request for Proposals follows. Initial location and plan: City staff have looked at the need to revitalize the Longview Tracks area of the City. This plan would provide for a temporary camp and the partnership with the non- profit would provide for a longer-term plan to develop the park space (intended use of the site) and a site for permanent supportive housing and wrap around services. A draft site plan follows. The cost of the plan is being covered by the COVID dollars received by the County. Options Option Results • Authorize the Contract City Council authorizes the City Manager to contract for services • Take no action. The County will need to develop a plan to address the at-risk population under the COVID pandemic Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the City Council authorize the contract. Attachments A. B. C. Request for Proposals – Homeless Services Contractor Project Overview and Budget Draft Site Plan Legal Review N-A Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 98 of 128 Request for Proposals Homeless Outreach under Grant County COVID 19 Plan Overview: The City of Moses Lake (City) is seeking a qualified community development corporation/non-profit (Contractor) to contract with the City of Moses Lake to manage the implementation and operation of a homeless program under the Grant County COVID 19 Plan. A key qualification will be the ability to develop a multi-year relationship with the City that would involve the development of property to serve the purposes of permanent supportive housing and wrap around services to aid in the implementation of Grant County’s adopted Plan to End Homelessness. Proposal: The City is requesting a coordinated plan that identifies the Contractor’s ability to provide outreach, transportation, shelter and wrap around services for the city’s homeless population. Under the current funding source, the plan would need to identify the proven ability to partner with the Grant County Health District to identify, isolate and quarantine potential COVID-19 cases while providing essential basic services to the homeless population. City responsibilities: The City will provide an equipped tent camp site for the purposes of establishing a location to carry out this proposal. Proposal respondents would be contracting with the City to provide management and operation of the site. The City desires to work with the successful contractor in the development of a long term plan for the development of the site as an impetus for neighborhood revitalization. The City would be seeking homeless funds to provide seed funding to enable the development and operation of a permanent supportive housing site with wrap around services that can also serve the at-risk residents of the neighborhood. Contractor responsibilities: The Contractor would provide:  Management of the site  Homeless outreach team  Plan identifying services to be provided by the Contractor or through partnerships / subcontractors, the plan would: o Demonstrate the ability to mobilize and be ready to deliver services by Friday, May 29, 2020 o Demonstrate access to a coordinated entry system that is 24-7 and available on multiple platforms accessible to our homeless/unsheltered populations o Demonstrate ability to utilize HMIS for purposes of grant compliance o Demonstrate compliance with the Grant County Health District’s COVID-19 Plan o Identify ability to access grant funds to further the desired outcomes the City would like to achieve at the site Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 99 of 128 Proposal timeline: Electronic proposals need to be delivered no later than Noon on Tuesday, May 12, 2020.

The budget for the COVID-19 grant application follows. The City will provide living quarters (tents), hand washing stations (4), hand sanitizing stations (8), porta potties (4) and portable showers (2) and the Contractor will provide wrap around services and overall administration of the program.. Over the life of the funding we are planning on 100 homeless individuals. More than 60% of the homeless in Grant County reside within the City of Moses Lake. It will take some time for the contractor to reach out to all of our homeless individuals to provide information about services being offered and the homeless camp area. The Contractor will screen each individual prior to entering them in the system and placing them in a motel and again prior to allowing them in the camp. The plan is to keep the homeless camp open indefinitely to work with the contractor on a long term plan to develop emergency shelter and permanent supportive housing space.

The tax is a credit against sales taxes collected within the City and therefore will not result in higher sales taxes but will instead result in a source of funding for housing needs in the City. The tax credit will provide funding estimated at approximately $56,800 annually to the City for 20 years. The annual amount the city will receive is dependent on annual gross sales within the city limits. Procedurally, the City needed to pass a Resolution of Intent to impose the tax, which the City Council did on August 13, 2019, and then this Ordinance to implement the tax needed to be approved by July 28, 2020. Upon notification, the Washington State Department of Revenue would then carve out .0073% of the sales tax for distribution to the City for these purposes. BACKGROUND: In 2019, the City Council formed a committee to develop a plan for the crisis of chronic homelessness in the City. Resources and models were explored by the committee and a plan was developed for implementation. The plan included carving out the City’s portion of the recording fees that provide homeless dollars through the County and implementing this new resource, passed by the Legislature during the 2019 Legislative Session. The plan did not come into full fruition in 2019 due to a turnover in staff. With the advent of the COVID – 19 pandemic, Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 103 of 128 additional funds have come available that will allow the City and a contractor to move forward on a plan to work with the chronic homelessness in Moses Lake and develop a plan that will include moving the population to a place of resolve either through self-sufficiency or permanent supportive housing. Options Option Results • Adopt the Ordinance Staff will proceed with implementation of the funding • Take no action. The City does not have access to the sales tax credit for affordable housing needs Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the City Council adopt Ordinance 2951 as presented. Attachments A. Ordinance 2951 - Imposing the local sales and use tax authorized under Laws of 2020, CH. 338 (HB 1406) to be used for the affordable housing and related purposes set forth therein; and providing for other matters property related thereto. Legal Review The following documents are attached and subject to legal review: Type of Document Title of Document Date Reviewed by Legal Counsel • Ordinance Implement SHB 1406 May 1, 2020 Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 104 of 128 ORDINANCE NO. 2951 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON, IMPOSING THE LOCAL SALES AND USE TAX AUTHORIZED UNDER LAWS OF 2020, CH. 338 (HOUSE BILL 1406) TO BE USED FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND RELATED PURPOSES SET FORTH THEREIN; AND PROVIDING FOR OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY RELATING THERETO. Recitals: 1. In the 2020 Regular Session, the Washington State Legislature approved, and the Governor signed, Substitute House Bill 1406 (chapter 338, Laws of2020) ("SHB 1406"); and 2. SHB 1406 authorizes the governing body of a city with a population of 100,000 or less to impose a local sales and use tax for the acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of affordable housing or facilities providing supportive housing, operations and maintenance costs of affordable or supportive housing, or rental assistance to tenants; and 3. The tax will be credited against existing state sales taxes collected within the City and, therefore, will not result in higher sales and use taxes within the City and will represent an additional source of funding to address housing needs in the City; and 4. The tax must be used to assist persons whose income is at or below sixty percent of the City median income; and 5. The revenues may be used to finance grants or loans to nonprofit organizations or public housing authorities to carry out these provisions, and the City may enter into interlocal agreements with one or more cities, counties or public housing authorities in accordance with chapter 39.34 RCW in the execution of these provisions; and 6. The City has identified a housing affordability crisis and has determined that imposing the sales and use tax to address this need will benefit its citizens and identified the amount of sales and use tax revenue to the City to be $56,984 in 2019; and 7. In order for a city or county to impose the tax, within six months of the effective date of SHB 1406, or January 28, 2020, the governing body must adopt a resolution of intent to authorize the maximum capacity of the tax, and within twelve months of the effective date of SHB 1406, or July 28, 2020, must adopt legislation to authorize the maximum capacity of the tax; and 8. The sales and use tax is considered to be restricted revenue subject to reporting requirements and audit review for compliance. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Moses Lake, Washington, do hereby ordain as follows: Section 1. Findings. The City Council (the "Council") of the City of Moses Lake, Washington (the "City''), makes the following findings and determinations: Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 105 of 128 1.1 SHB 1406 authorizes cities to adopt a sales and use tax increase of 0.0073% (the "State- Shared Affordable Housing Sales and Use Tax"), provided that the revenues are dedicated to the affordable housing purposes as defined in that statute. Upon adoption of the increase, the tax imposed will be deducted from the amount of State sales and use tax otherwise required to be collected within the City, subject to the annual cap described in that statute. 1.2 The Council adopted Resolution No. 3774 (the "Resolution of Intent") on August 13, 2019, declaring its intent to authorize the maximum capacity of the tax authorized under SHB 1406. 1.3 The Council finds that the City has satisfied all prerequisites to imposing the State-Shared Affordable Housing Sales and Use Tax at a rate of 0.0073%, including having imposed a Qualifying Local Tax, and finds it in the City's best interest to begin imposing the tax.

The City opted out of the GCCD in 2017 due to several factors. On April 28, 2020, the work plan of the District was presented to City Council. The work plan outlined the management of the Watershed Council which is working to address the health of Moses Lake. The health of the lake is critical to the City’s recreational and tourism economy. Major resources will need to be pulled together to support the lake health and GCCD is in need of financial and political support from the City of Moses Lake to further their efforts. Background The City of Moses Lake joined the Moses Lake Conservation District 1975. Over the years, the MLCD became the Grant County Conservation District (GCCD). On January 1, 2018, the Grant County Commissioners approved a new fee of $4.96 on every parcel located within the city limits. The City Council elected to withdraw from the GCCD deciding that there was no corresponding benefit to the citizens for the fee increase. Since withdrawal from the GCCD, the City has been impacted by two consecutive years of blue- green algae blooms. The GCCD and Watershed Council have been working on solutions to help make the lake healthy again. The GCCD has submitted a plan including the steps that it would take to help make the lake healthy again. They have also received and are applying for grants to help fund cleanup efforts, and in doing so, needs the City’s financial and political support of those Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 109 of 128 grants. The lands within the city’s incorporated limits will benefit from the activities and efforts of the GCCD to restore the lake to a healthier status. The Grant County Health District and the Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce have issued letters of support for the City of Moses Lake rejoining the GCCD. The attached Petition, if approved by the GCCD, filed with the State Conservation Commission Office, and certified by the Secretary of State, would provide for the re-annexation of the City into the GCCD. Because of the ambiguity of the applicable legislation and the lack of any interpretive case law regarding the process required to re-annex into a conservation district, there is some risk of a procedural challenge. However, staff has evaluated the risk and believes it is minimal. Fiscal and Policy Implications The GCCD is funded in part by a $4.96 fee on every parcel within its boundaries and this annexation would include the City of Moses Lake in the District and subject parcel owners to the fee. At this time, with the health of Moses Lake is central to our community and its prosperity; this fee will provide continued funding to aid in the effort and support of GCCD and the Watershed Council, and each parcel will benefit from the improvements to the lake health. Staff Recommendation Staff requests City Council approve the Petition providing for the re-annexation of the City of Moses Lake into the Grant County Conservation District and its submission to the GCCD for approval and filing with the State Conservation Commission.

Under that Act, local governments are required to administer the mandates through permitting processes and the adoption of coordinated water system plans. Grant County adopted the 1999 Coordinated Water System Plan (CWSP) which provides that disputes within incorporated city limits be resolve pursuant to an appeal process adopted by that city. Moses Lake has never adopted a dispute resolution or appeal process and needs to do so in order to process those disputes. Discussion/Analysis The City currently has several class A and class B water systems within its corporate limits. Each of those water purveyors are identified as providing water service to a given area known as their “Designated Service Area (DSA)”. The water purveyor has the legal right and obligation to provide current and future water service within its designated DSA. These legal obligations are documented in a signed agreement called a Service Area Agreement which identifies each individual service area for each utility. The proposed appeal process set forth in the amended ordinance provides a simple and direct appeal process to resolve disputes under the CWSP regarding the provision of water service within the incorporated city limits. When a dispute arises regarding the conditions of water utility service between the property owner and a water purveyor, the parties may utilize this dispute resolution process. Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 114 of 128 Staff Recommendation For the above reasons, staff recommends approving the ordinance amendment to add an administrative appeal process for resolving water utility service disputes under the CWSP. Financial Implications Staff time involved in processing such administrative appeals will be offset with an appeal review fee. Attachment A. Proposed Ordinance 2950 Legal Review The following documents are attached and subject to legal review: Type of Document Title of Document Date Reviewed by Legal Counsel • Ordinance An Ordinance of the City of Moses Lake, Washington amending Moses Lake Municipal Code Section 13.07.020 titled “Connection to City Water system” to provide for an administrative appeal process for resolving disputes arising under the CWSP, and providing for severability and effective date. May 5, 2020 Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 115 of 128 ORDINANCE NO. 2950 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING MOSES LAKE MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 13.07.020 TITLED “CONNECTION TO CITY WATER SYSTEM” THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Section 13.07.020 of the Moses Lake Municipal Code titled “Connection to City Water System” is amended as follows: 13.07.020 Connection to City Water System: A. Purpose. The requirement to connect to the City water system is to reduce the need for Group A and B water systems; and to reduce well bore holes, which are potential contamination sources. B. New Buildings. All newly constructed buildings that will have human occupancy, as defined in the building code, shall be connected to the City water system. C. Existing Buildings. Owners of all existing buildings that have human occupancy, as defined by the building code, that are within two hundred feet (200') of the City water system shall be required to connect to the City water system within six (6) months of City notification; provided that, single and duplex residences will not be required to connect if the cost of making the connection exceeds nine thousand dollars ($9,000). All connections shall be at the owner’s expense. D. Private Water Systems. Properties that are connected to a private water system that is approved by the Department of Health are exempt from MLMC Chapter 13.07. E. Water Service Review – Appeal. 1. Purpose: Under the Public Water System Coordination Act of 1977, Grant County established a Coordinated Water System Plan (CWSP) on October 13, 1999 to manage future development of public water supply. The CWSP priority and policy framework is for development within a water utility retail service area to obtain water service from the utility. Section V of the 1999 CWSP provides for a utility service review procedure and further provides that any disputes arising within incorporated areas be resolved through the procedures established by that city. 2. Appeal and review process established: a. Application: The city has several water service utility providers within its incorporated limits, each with its own service area. This appeal process is limited to service issues related to those water service utility providers within the incorporated city limits and does not apply to water service from the city. Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 116 of 128 b. Moses Lake Utilities Technical Review Committee: There is established a Moses Lake Utilities Technical Review Committee (MLUTRC) comprised of the Municipal Services Director, Community Development Director, Fire Chief, and City Manager. c. Filing notice of appeal: The applicant shall first go through the water utility’s dispute resolution process, if there is one. If there is no dispute resolution process provided for by the water utility, the applicant shall next use this administrative dispute resolution process by requesting that the MLUTRC review the application. MLUTRC review is initiated by the filing of a $250.00 fee and the completed Notice and Statement of Appeal form with the Community Development Department. Forms are available at the Community Development Department. Applicant must provide a copy of the Notice and Statement of Appeal to the water utility and shall file proof of service with the filing of the Notice and Statement of Appeal. Following the filing of a completed Notice and Statement of Appeal, appeal fee, and proof of service on the water utility, the water utility shall be given ten (10) business days within which to file its Response to Notice and Statement of with the MLUTRC. Forms are available at the Community Development Department. The MLUTRC shall provide the parties with a review schedule not to exceed 45 days from the date of receipt of the water utility’s Response to Notice and Statement of Appeal. The review schedule shall include timelines for receiving information and evidence, including any briefings or other legal and factual support for the parties’ positions. The written decision of the MLUTRC shall be provided to the parties within fifteen (15) business days following closure of the record. d. Effect of MLUTRC’s decision: The decision of the MLUTRC is final unless appealed to the Moses Lake Hearing Examiner pursuant to Chapter 18.80, MLMC. 3. Issues subject to appeal and review: Issues subject to review are limited to the following: a. Interpretation and application of water utility service area boundaries where applicable; b. Proposed schedule for providing service; c. Conditions of service (excluding published rates and fees); d. Minimum design standards as adopted in the CWSP, or more stringent standards as contained in a utility water system plan approved by DOH. Section 2. Severability. If any section of this ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or invalid as written or as applied to any particular person or circumstances, no other section of the ordinance shall be deemed to be invalid, but rather, should be deemed to have been enacted independently and without regard to the section affected. Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 117 of 128 Section 3. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force five (5) days after its passage and publication of its summary as provided by law.

Beginning Fund Balances shown are from the 2019 year-end report and subject to final adjustments made as a result of the year-end closing process, which will not be officially concluded until the State Auditor’s work is completed this summer. Overall, the City budget is performing as expected through the first quarter of 2020. At the end of the first quarter 2020, we are seeing typical variances tied to timing of annual dues/assessments and property tax receipts, along with the slowdown of some operational and construction activity in the winter months. Even though we know the economic shutdown caused by the response to the COVID-19 virus will have a negative impact on our total revenues, it is still too early to quantify. Of our major revenue sources in General Fund, property and utility taxes should be only minimally affected, if at all. However, I expect sales tax to be reduced because of the segments of the economy that have been shut down. Many of the charges for services will be unchanged, but we are still unsure how the re-opening of the economy will change the summer parks and recreation programs. We are working on forecasts that will assume differing levels of revenue reduction. Fortunately, our General Fund balance is rather healthy, and we have about $1.5 million of contingency funds available to weather the downturn. We have also identified some capital deferrals to reduce General Fund expenses. This report is summarized by type of fund, and reported by functional type, and includes the following sections: •City-Wide Overview •General Fund Revenue Analysis •General Fund Expenditure Analysis •Other Funds Analysis •Exhibit I—Fund Detail that supports the Summaries Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 119 of 128 City-Wide Overview 2019 Adopted Percent Actual Budget Actual Rec'd General Fund 4,324,845$ 26,643,060$ 4,389,130$ 16.5% Operating/Enterprise Funds 7,956,030 35,493,649 8,381,417 23.6% Capital Improvement Funds 1,796,884 16,345,600 994,566 6.1% Risk Mgmt/Employee Benefit 144,300 790,000 181,750 23.0% Debt Service Funds 1,134,875 569,930 1,134,398 199.0% Total City Revenues 15,356,934$ 79,842,239$ 15,081,260$ 18.9% 2020 Revenue Comparison (Budget vs. Actual--25% of year) 2019 Adopted Percent Actual Budget Actual Spent General Fund 5,700,087$ 28,685,891$ 6,319,699$ 22.0% Operating/Enterprise Funds 8,269,656 38,814,077 7,463,593 19.2% Capital Improvement Funds 169,166 21,935,000 715,235 3.3% Risk Mgmt/Employee Benefit 575,468 922,000 688,990 74.7% Debt Service Funds 187,975 2,270,119 164,219 7.2% Total City Expenditures 14,902,352$ 92,627,087$ 15,351,736$ 16.6% Expenditure Comparison (Budget vs. Actual--25% of year) 2020 Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 120 of 128 General Fund Revenue Analysis 2019 19 vs 20 Adopted Percent Percent Actual Budget Actual Rec'd Change 310 Taxes Property Tax 76,537$ 7,205,000$ 152,393$ 2.1% 99.1% Sales Tax 1,674,352 7,000,000 1,790,246 25.6% 6.9% Sales Tax-Public Safety - 700,000 - Utility Tax 936,972 3,278,000 935,051 28.5% -0.2% Gambling Tax 77,036 251,400 65,514 26.1% -15.0% Other Taxes 20,545 88,000 15,934 18.1% -22.4% Subtotal-Taxes 2,785,442 18,522,400 2,959,138 16.0% 6.2% 320 Licenses & Permits 202,932 651,500 163,112 25.0% -19.6% 330 Intergovernmental Revenues 106,947 1,114,510 122,631 11.0% 14.7% 340 Charges for Goods & Services 697,270 4,430,600 784,334 17.7% 12.5% 350 Fines and Penalties 306,850 966,300 127,897 13.2% -58.3% 360 Miscellaneous Revenues 225,406 457,750 232,017 50.7% 2.9% 390 Other Financing Resources - 500,000 - 0.0% Total General Fund Revenues 4,324,847$ 26,643,060$ 4,389,129$ 16.5% 1.5% 2020 General Fund Revenues As of March 31, 2020 - 25% of year Property Tax – The first half of the Property Tax assessment is due to the Grant County Treasurer by April 30, and the second half is due October 31. Therefore, the first quarter receipts are typically a small percentage of the annual budget. The Grant County Treasurer contacted me and let me know that they were not offering an extension of the due date, so this should follow a normal annual receipting pattern. The budget was set based on assumptions of new construction and collection rates, and then discounted because of the potential for a large taxpayer to protest their assessed value. At this point in time we have no indication that property taxes would not come in as anticipated. Sales Tax –This major revenue source spiked in 2017 at $6.78 million which was a 13.3% increase over 2016, and then calmed to end 2018 at $6.57 million -- 3.1% below 2017 actual. 2019 grew again to $7.20 million or 9.5% over 2018, as state law required even more remote sellers to remit sales tax directly to the state. The 2020 budget is about $200,000 less than 2019 actual. Through the 1st quarter, sales tax was 6.9% greater compared to the prior year, which would put it ahead of this year’s budget estimate if this was a normal year. I expect this major revenue source to be hardest hit from the COVID 19 economic shutdown. If we tie the reduction to the rate of unemployment, we could experience a 20-25% reduction in overall sales tax. A Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 121 of 128 20% reduction from the $7.0 million budget is $1.4 million, and 25% is $1.75 million. We will plan our approach to the remainder of the budget year accordingly. Sales Tax-Public Safety – This represents the new voter approved tax that went into effect on April 1. We should get our first distribution on June 30 for April business. Again, the 20% to 25% reduction would amount to an estimate of $140,000 to $175,000. Since this funding source was targeted to be spent primarily on new Police Officers, we can time the hiring to accommodate a reduction in revenue. Utility Tax – This revenue source experiences fluctuations either from rate adjustments or fluctuations in usage. Even though increases are occurring in most of the utilities because of basic Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate increases, first quarter results are flat, which can be explained by the continued trend to reduce land line telephones and select cellular phone packages with more data than voice service, coupled with the 9.6% reduction in solid waste utility rates. However, we anticipated these trends, and in total Utility Tax is exceeding the 25% mark. There may be some timing fluctuations, but we don’t expect a major downturn in these revenues as a result of COVID 19. Gambling Taxes -- This revenue stream had a good 1st quarter and is already at 26.1% of the year’s budget. It should be noted, however, that Council reduced the card game tax rate over the next few years, so this is expected to trend below the prior year actual. The shut down of restaurants and bars will negatively affect this revenue source, and I am not expecting any revenue to speak of for 2nd quarter activity, which would be a loss of about $65,000. Licenses and Permits – This revenue is generated by the development community and is difficult to budget because it is volatile by nature. 2020 1st quarter results are meeting the budget estimate. Part of why it is below 2019 actual results is the timing of business license receipts. In 2019 most of the business licenses were renewed in January, but now they are spread throughout the year since we partnered with the State Business License Service to process our business license renewals. The permit activity typically picks up during the warmer construction months. Intergovernmental Revenue – The major components of intergovernmental revenue are State- shared revenue and the PUD Tax. We receive the PUD Tax in one lump sum in July, so the variance is simply timing. The state-shared revenues remained intact during the 2020 legislative session, so this revenue stream should come in as anticipated. This category also includes the federal COPS and SAFER grants, which weren’t billed in time to be included in the 1st quarter report. It should be noted, that any additional grant moneys would be deposited into this category. Charges for Goods and Services primarily consist of: • Fees charged for Parks and Recreation Programs; Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 122 of 128 • The City Administrative fee charged to funds for the services provided by the executive branch and finance; • Engineering services charged both to internal projects and external developers; and • School Resource Officers reimbursed by Moses Lake School District Both the Parks and Recreation programs and Engineering services are not as active in the winter months, so this is below the 25% mark through the first quarter, but typically ramps up through the summer months. The Parks and Recreation revenue may be affected by the COVID 19 social distancing rules, but we still don’t have any schedules set. Additionally, because of the school closing, we may not get the full reimbursement for the School Resource Officers. Fines and Penalties consist almost entirely of fines generated by the red-light camera program. Four additional cameras were added in late 2018, so the collections were high in 2019. However, there are currently 2 cameras that are not working, so we don’t anticipate the continued rate of growth for the rest of the year. Unfortunately, this category could be over budgeted by $450,000 if these trends continue, however the cameras are being fixed and will be placed back in service soon. Miscellaneous Revenues include interest earnings on investments and facility rentals. This category is slightly more than prior year actual primarily because of a higher balance available for investing. It should be noted interest revenue comes into General Fund throughout the year and we only allocate interest out to funds once at the end of the year. Other Financing Resources is made up primarily of a transfer from the Water Department of excess maintenance and operating charges as authorized by RCW 35.23.535. This transfer is also done at the end of the year, so is showing no actual through the first quarter. Summary --Overall, the first quarter 2020 General Fund revenue came in at $4,389,129 which is 16.5% of the total year budget. It is below the 25% mark primarily due to the timing of the annual property tax collection. Total revenue grew by $64,282 or 1.5% over the first quarter 2019 actual of $4,324,847.

Much of the increase is tied to the implementation of the pay and compensation study at the beginning of the year, along with an increase in the number of Police and Fire personnel since the 1st quarter of 2019. Since General Fund is over 59% staffing, events effecting total payroll have a significant impact on budgets. Position vacancies may start out being an “overage” because of the cashout of earned accrued leave balances, but then can produce savings when the position is vacant for any length of time. Many variances in individual divisions are the result of position vacancies. The first quarter also has some positive variances related to the timing of professional services. For example, the Comprehensive Plan update in the Community Development Division, and the audit expense in Finance had virtually no activity in the 1st quarter. The major component in the Miscellaneous Services budget is the General Fund transfers to Streets and Debt Service funds. The transfers are accelerated in the 1st quarter to Debt Service so there is sufficient funding to pay debt service when it comes due. Parks & Recreation is below the 25% mark because of program timing—the aquatic center doesn’t open until the 2nd quarter.

Positive variances in capital funds are related to timing of major projects, as well as capital components in operating funds (such as Building Maintenance and Stormwater capital projects and fleet purchases). Debt Service funds only have interest payments due in the first quarter—principal payments are typically scheduled for later in the year so the fund can build up the necessary balance. Debt Service revenue is at 50% because we transfer all debt service in the first 2 quarters, so funding is available when debt service comes due. Insurance premiums are due at the first of the year, so the Risk Management/Employee Benefit fund category is 81.8% spent already. It should be noted the Risk Management Fund is the only fund with a negative fund balance at March 31. This temporary overrun of ($52,882) will turn around when the 2nd quarter revenue transfer is completed. The Solid Waste (Sanitation) Fund is within budget estimates. Revenue is coming in as expected (i.e. 24.3%), and expenditures are below 25% primarily because interfund loans are due later in the year and the March hauling and landfill bills were paid in April so this fund ended the first quarter with a balance of about $691,000. It should be noted that the monthly hauling and disposal bills run about $305,000 so the effective ending balance is $386,000 which is 9.5% of budgeted expenditures. Moses Lake Council Packet May 12, 2020, Page 125 of 128 The Ambulance Fund revenue is 32.8% received. Expenditures are running right at budget or 24.7%. At the end of the 1st quarter, the Ambulance Fund has added about $122,000 to its fund balance. Therefore, it looks like the policy changes made for these two funds for the 2018 and 2019 budgets are covering current operating costs, and the onetime infusions of revenue (from the hauler in the solid waste fund, and the Ground Emergency Medical Transportation grants) have grown these fund balances to a place where I feel they can come off the “watch” list. A couple of the funds may have revenues affected by COVID 19. The Transportation Benefit District will likely have reduced revenue, since it is sales tax based. Because of the length of time to complete the complex street projects, we are using last year’s carryforward amounts to do most of the street capital projects included in the 2020 budget. We will reevaluate available funds during development of the 2021 budget. Hotel/Motel tax will likely see a dip as well. Some of the events have been cancelled, but we have received guidance from MRSC that if valid expenses were made, they can be reimbursed. We will monitor the reduction in expenses to see if it roughly matches the reduction in revenues. If needed, we can allocate some of the City’s portion to meet all these obligations. Conclusion Overall, first quarter results are performing as expected. Most variances from the 25% mark are related to timing. All funds have a healthy fund balance going into the COVID 19 economic shutdown. Even without the property tax distribution, only $270,500 was used of citywide fund balances, and all funds (except for the Risk Management Fund discussed above) had positive fund balances at March 31, 2020. Staff will continue to monitor revenues in the aftermath of the COVID 19 pandemic and propose additional responses if necessary.
