Subject:
2006 Proposed Property Tax Levy
In preparation for our discuss,ion at the November 21, 2005 committee
meeting, I have attached a number of documents for your review related to
establishing the 2006 property tax levy.
Specifically, you will find correspondence from Larry Phillips, Chair of the
Metropolitan King County Council; a 2006 Preliminary Levy Limit
Worksheet prepared by the King County Assessor's Office; an Excel
spreadsheet that I prepared to develop an estimated levy value, and finally
(2) draft ordinances establishing the 2006 property tax levy.
As noted in Councilmember Phillip's correspondence, the deadline for
submitting our levy request to King County is December 2,2005. As has
been the case in past years, the County will not have-final propeliy
valuations prior to the cutoff date. Given the preliminary nature of the
valuations and consideration of the 1 % levy base growth constraint, I have
set the recommended levy amount slightly higher than the value I calculated
for the estimated allowable levy. We can discuss my rationalejn greater
detail at the meeting.
I look forward to seeing each of you at 5 p.m. on Monday, November 21.

RE: Submission of District Property Tax Levies for- 2006 to the County Council
To the Board of Commissioners: \_
The County Council is required by RCW 84.52.070 to certify annually the amount
of property taxes levied in King County. In order to make this certification, we
must know the amount of taxes to be levied for each taxing district.
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING 2006 PROPERTY TAX LEVIES IS
DECEMBER 2, 2005
In order for your district to receive property taxes in an amount greater than that
received in 2005, if permitted by law, we must receive your resolution by
December 2, 2005. This applies to basic levies provided for by state law as well
as any excess levies approved by a vote of the people. Please remember that
the Assessor is required to review levy requests to ensure that they do not
exceed the allowable levy.
If you cannot finalize your levy request by December 2, please submit an
estimate. If your estimate is higher than the allowable levy, the _Assessor will
reduce the amount requested for your jurisdiction to an amount no greater than
the allowable levy. However, if your estimate is less than the allowable levy, the
amount requested can only be increased from the amount certified in your
ordinance or resolution to the level of the allowable levy with formal written
notification from your Board of Commissioners. This written notification must be
filed with the Assessor and the Clerk of the Council by December 6, 2005 for
inclusion in the certification ordinance.
Forms are enclosed for you to use in .submitting your levy request. Please submit
copies of the form and any resolution or ordinance that may be required by
RCW 84.55.120 to both the King County Council and the King County Assessor's
Office at the following addresses:

The King County Council may pass an amendatory certification ordinance in
January 2006 in order to allow for technical adjustments in the final levy
amounts. However, discretionary increases in your levy may not be made in this
amendatory certification ordinance.
If you have any questions, please call the Assessor's Office at 296-5145 or 296-
5146.
Thank you for your cooperation.

could go into the memo for the Agreement. Recommend Agreement to CO\V.
\
2. Emplovment Contract with the City Administrator The three members all expressed
support for the contract as presented. It covers the conditions of employment for the City
Administrator. Recommend contract to CO\V.
