DATE ATTACHMENTS 05/18/20 Information Memo dated 04/28/20 PreApplication submitted to King County on 04/28/20 Minutes from Community Services and Safety Committee meeting of 05/11/20 2 City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Services and Safety FROM: Stacy Hansen, Human Services Program Coordinator CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: April 28, 2020 SUBJECT: CDBG Minor Home Repair 2021 authorize grant submission ISSUE The City Council's authorization is necessary for the City to apply to King County for the Community Development Block Grant funds. These funds are for the Tukwila Minor Home Repair program. In 2021, the City will continue its role as fiscal administrator for the Minor Home Repair program in the cities of Tukwila, Covington, Des Moines, and SeaTac. The program successfully assists low and moderate income homeowners maintain their homes. The 2021 application is for $110,000 to be equally shared between all four cities (minus a small administration fee for King County). BACKGROUND Human Services staff has been administering this program since 2005. In 2019, 13 unduplicated Tukwila households were served (45 program -wide) consisting of 21 individual projects (55 program wide) and 108.75 hours of Tukwila repairs (533.25 program -wide). The 2021 request is for $110,000 for the entire program, consisting of $26,750 in construction dollars for each city. DISCUSSION This application competes county -wide with capital applications from other cities and non-profit agencies. Tukwila Human Services staff participates in discussions to recommend capital projects although unable to vote on any applications affecting Tukwila. FINANCIAL IMPACT Partners cities provide roughly 20% of staff time as in -kind to manage and administer the Minor Home Repair program within their respective cities. Since Tukwila is the lead fiscal agent, in addition to administering the program, staff is also responsible for the annual application process, contract execution, quarterly bill reimbursement between Tukwila, partner cities and King County. Tukwila Human Services staff also attends all required King County meetings, monitors partner cities to ensure contract compliance and provides on -going technical assistance. Between serving as the fiscal agent and administering the program in Tukwila, the Human Services Program Coordinator spends up to 30% of her time on the Minor Home Repair program. RECOMMENDATION Staff is asking Council to forward this item to the May 18, 2020 Regular Council meeting for the consent agenda.

Provide a brief overview of the project and identify what specifically CDBG funds will be used for. The Tukwila, Covington, Des Moines and SeaTac Minor Home Repair Program consortium provides minor health and safety focused repairs in low to moderate income, owner occupied homes in the four city consortium mentioned above. Repairs may include small plumbing, electrical and other small handyman types of jobs. This program is a no -cost program to qualified residents. Each project is limited in cost ($3,400), each household has an annual limit ($5,000) and a lifetime maximum ($7,500). Individual projects are reviewed by King County staff prior to project start. Designated city staff at each of the partner cities manages its own portion of the budget, contracting, marketing and community outreach. Tukwila acts as the lead fiscal manager of the overall grant in application, quarterly bill submission and providing technical assistance to city partners as needed. 2. What is your organization's mission? How does this project align with your mission? As south King County cities, one of our missions is to ensure access to healthy and safe housing for all of its residents. With the need for affordable housing at an all time high throughout the county, keeping older housing stock well -maintained for low to moderate income, owner occupied households prevents the cycle of postponed maintenance, catastrophic structural damage, potential injury to residents, out of home placement, flipping and sale and making it no longer affordable housing. The Minor Home Repair Program allows residents of all ages and abilities to remain safely in their home and chosen community while preserving the integrity of the home. Project Location 3. Provide the exact address of project site, (not the agency address unless it is the same location). Preferred format: address, city, state, zip. If the location is an intersection please find the closest address. Please upload at least four photographs of the project site in Jpg format and label the images according to the direction they were taken: for example 'project -site -east, project -site -north, etc." Microenterprise and Minor Home Projects use "N/A". N/A Project Category 4. What category does your project fit into? Choose one. If "Other" please email program staff at community.development@kingcounty.gov to discuss before submitting. Community Facility Public Improvements Parks Microenterprise Housing ✓ Minor Home Repair Human Services Other 5. What type of activity is involved? Choose one. Acquisition ✓ Rehabilitation Construction Economic Development Popuation Served 6. CDBG activities must meet at least one national objective (listed below). Which category/s best match your project? Area Benefit - The area benefit category is the most commonly used national objective for activities that benefit a residential neighborhood. An area benefit activity is one that benefits all residents in a particular area, where at least 51 percent of the residents are Low to Moderate Income (LMI) persons. NOTE: This percent may be different in your area. Limited Clientele Benefit - a clientele that is either screened per HUD income limits or is generally presumed to be principally LMI. This presumption covers abused children, battered spouses, elderly persons, severely disabled adults, homeless persons, illiterate adults, persons living with AIDS, and migrant farm workers. Please contact Community.Development@kingcounty.gov for additional assistance in determining eligibility for your project area. Area Benefit ✓ Limited Clientele 7. Are you familiar with current CDBG income screening requirements? How do you determine eligibility? For example do you use income screening, location of residence, or eligibility in other government programs? (i.e. County -wide, city wide, school district, or by specific street names). Yes - All four MHR consortium partner cities screen each potential program participant with the current CDBG HUD program income guidelines to determine that household is program eligible. 8. Is any of the real property currently occupied by residential or business tenants? If yes, have they been formally notified of the possible relocation? If no, how long has the property been vacant? If your project does not include acquisition, type N/A for Not Applicable. For additional information on Uniform Relocation Act (URA) requirements, please visit the HUD Exchange Website: https://www.hudexchange.info/trainings/ura-the-hud-way/ N/A 9. Does the project include any demolition of building(s)? For URA information, please refer to HUD Exchange Website: https://www.hudexchange.info/trainings/ura-the-hud-way/. If your project/program does not include construction, select Not Applicable. Yes No ✓ Not Applicable Project Funding 10. Provide background and explanation of fund sources and status of other funding pursued and committed for this project, i.e. what other grant/fund sources will be applied toward this project? Have other funds been committed? If so, provide the expiration date for using those funds. Are any of your project funds from a federal source? All CDBG funds awarded to the Tukwila, Covington, Des Moines and SeaTac Minor Home Repair program goes directly towards the individual health and safety repair projects in each community. All four MHR consortium partner cities have Human Services/Coordinator staff to manage and administer the MHR program in their respective cities. All cities contribute a significant amount of in -kind staff time (15-25%) to ensure that residents are well served, contractors are hired and paid promptly and quarterly bills and data are reported to the lead city who reports in a timely manner to King County. 11. Will these funds be used to match/leverage other funding? Yes ✓ No Public Participation 12. What public participation has or will be held before or during the course of this Pre -Application? Provide evidence of community input about the need this project addresses, and about potential solutions. Please feel free to upload community meeting minutes, flyers, and especially survey results and/or meeting summaries. Capital Improvement Plan outreach efforts can also be included. As the recipient of previous CDBG funding, City staff conduct customer satisfaction surveys at each job completion and utilize that feedback in advertisements in local community publications, share brochures at various community events and the project is reviewed by City Council Committees and the full City Council. All council meetings are typically open to the public, however, due to COVID-19 no physical City Council meetings are conducted publicly so an email comment period is available as is a call -in option for those interested in listening or participating during the live meeting.

DATE RECORD OF COUNCIL ACTION MTG. DATE ATTACHMENTS 05/18/20 Informational Memorandum dated 05/11/20 IF/ in City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: City Council CC: Mayor Ekberg FROM: Stacy Hansen, Human Services Program Coordinator DATE: May 11, 2020 SUBJECT: HB 1406 Rental Assistance Funds Distribution Update ISSUE The Council has requested an update on the distribution of HB 1406 rental assistance funds in the City of Tukwila. DISCUSSION During the 2019 legislative session, the state approved HB 1406 which is a local revenue sharing program for local governments. This allows local governments to collect a portion of state sales tax for addressing affordable housing. The tax credit is in place for up to 20 years. All projects funded by HB 1406 must serve those at or below 60% of the area median income (AMI). Homelessness and affordable housing are key issues both in the region as a whole and in the City of Tukwila itself. The revenue available to cities through this bill is a way to begin to address this issue through acquiring, rehabilitating, or constructing affordable housing; operations and maintenance of new affordable housing or supportive housing facilities; or for rental assistance. On April 6, 2020, the City Council approved Resolution 1984 to temporarily distribute HB 1406 funds on a 90%/10% split between direct rental assistance to Tukwila residents and the South King County Housing and Homelessness Partnership (SKHHP). The City recognizes that many residents are being adversely affected by the economic challenges associated with the coronavirus pandemic and temporarily providing the majority of these funds to residents in need of rental assistance will help prevent homelessness within the Tukwila Community. The following chart represents the HB 1406 funds received through the 2020 February sales tax remittances, as well as the totals available for distribution for rental assistance and SKHHP. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the City is not counting on any additional HB 1406 funds after February given the large-scale shut down of businesses throughout the state and the associated significant slump in sales tax. Because sales tax is remitted to cities two months later than expended, staff will reevaluate available funds once the March sales tax funds are received and provide Council with an update on next steps. $33,129.87 Funds received in 2019 $12,428.53 Funds received for January, 2020 $10,000.53 Funds anticipated for February, 2020 $55,558.93 Total funds anticipated through February, 2020 $50,003.04 90% of total funds for rental assistance $ 5,555.89 10% of total funds available to SKHHP Human Services staff worked directly with Finance staff to develop an internal process to ensure that all HB 1406 funds could go directly to rental assistance with no administration fees via a community nonprofit. Staff have put significant protocols in place to ensure the proper 19 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 documentation is received, such as copies of the lease and landlords' W-9, before processing rental assistance requests. Because staff recognizes that the financial difficulties associated with the pandemic will last for the next few months at a minimum, staff is working to distribute the HB 1406 rental assistance funds in the months of May, June and July, equaling approximately $17,250 in each of these three months. Staff expects to distribute the full $51,832.56 in rental assistance over the next three months. Staff has also temporarily increased the lifetime limit allowed for rental assistance from $700 per family to $1,200 due to the significant nature of the economic realities associated with the pandemic. In addition, for the month of May only, the City has partnered with the Tukwila Children's Foundation (TCF) on the distribution of an additional $9,000. These are one-time funds available to families in need of rental assistance with a child between the ages of 0-21. While TCF has been responsible for distributing their funds, they relied on Tukwila's Human Services staff to do the necessary intake and work with landlords to validate the need for rental assistance. TCF funds do not count toward the City's lifetime limit and have been leveraged to "patchwork" with City funds to help families close the gap in their rent responsibilities. City staff also works with clients to identify other potential rental assistance funding sources when available, such as the King County Bar Association, Refugee Women's Alliance and others. The Human Services program also provides approximately $4,400 a month on rental and utility assistance as a part of its general fund budget. All three of these programs — HB 1406, TCF and general fund — equal nearly $30,000 in the month of May. As of May 11, 2020, $28,000 of the $30,000 has been committed. This funding reflects direct assistance to 23 families in Tukwila, averaging just over $1,200 per family. Families served come from a variety of backgrounds, from new arrivals recently settled in Tukwila, to single adults to families with disabled children. Most families are experiencing either significant hours lost at their jobs or unemployment all together and come from a variety of industries — i.e. hospitality, "gig" sectors, construction. The graph below illustrates the timeframe May 1, 2020 through May 12, 2020. It includes number of households (and individuals), which funding sources were used for the `patchwork' of rental assistance. The City has served 21 households with a combined dollar amount (from all three funding sources) of $25,947. Five of the households were single adults. The range of need was from $585 to $5400. Households served were originally from a wide range of countries, including all over Africa, Asia, many Spanish-speaking countries, Afghanistan, Pacific Islands and the US.

Update.docx INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 U ber/Lyft/Transp. 8 Airport 3 Self Employed 2 Service 3 (Construction) While the state is working to open up the economy and therefore many jobs will come back online, we expect this to be a slow reopening, with affected employees receiving less hours than usual as things ramp up. In addition, staff recognizes that whenever individuals go back to paid employment they will be working on paying next month's rent, not the total that has accumulated since their employment was interrupted in March with the Stay Home, Stay Healthy order. Staff expects to distribute the remaining $34,500 in HB 1406 in June and July. Should there not be a need for these funds, Council will determine its distribution. As agreed to at the April 6, 2020 Council meeting, staff will return to Council once the pandemic is over to determine the appropriate long-term distribution of HB 1406 funds between rental assistance and SKHHP. https://tukwilawa.sharepoint.com/sites/mayorsoffice/cc/Council Agenda Items/Human Services/Info memo- HB1406 Rental Assistance Funds Dist.

DATE ATTACHMENTS 05/18/20 Coronavirus Report 23 24 Coronavirus Response Update May 18, 2020 Essential Services and City Operations There have been no changes to essential services The City is continuing to refine a reopening plan corresponding with the State's "Safe Start" phased approach to reopening the state. It should be noted that only in Phase 3 do they recommend re -opening customer -facing government services, and even at that time telework is still strongly encouraged for non -customer facing positions. Financial Stabil City staff have been working with the Finance Committee since mid -April to review the financial impacts to the City resulting from the pandemic. At the May 11 Committee of the Whole meeting there was significant discussion on the tools available to close the gap between revenues and expenditures this year. The Council will continue to discuss these issues at length on May 18, with possible action. Detailed information is provided in the council packet. Police Staffing and Calls for Service There have been no changes to Police staffing since the last report. Fire Staff ine and Calls for Service There have been no changes to Fire staffing since the last report. Attached is a detailed analysis of calls for service for the Fire Department. Human Services Human Services staff continues to assist new, unduplicated households with HB 1406 (and other funds) to create a 'patchwork' of rental assistance support. Please see the 5-18-20 Regular Council Meeting agenda packet for data related to HB 1406 revenue spending. Business King County is currently in Phase 1 of Washington's "Safe Start" four phase business reopening plan. During this phase, in addition to essential business and activities, other businesses are allowed to open such as restarting construction, vehicle sales, spiritual drive-in services, car washes, landscaping, pet walking, and curbside retail. Westfield Southcenter and other retailers have already started curbside retail. Although King County is not yet in Phase 2, the Governor has issued guidance for various business sectors that may start in other counties. This is helpful because it gives our businesses an opportunity to prepare to re -open. The new guidance pertains to dine -in restaurants and taverns, in-store retail, manufacturing, professional services, and personal services. In addition to physical distancing and other requirements, key limitations for restaurants include: customers are limited to 50% of maximum building occupancy, additional table spacing, and a customer log if there is table service. Retail stores are limited to 30% of maximum occupancy. Employees are 25 required to wear cloth face masks. As the Governor explained, Phase 2 will start depending on a number of metrics such as disease activity, health care capacity, testing and tracing capacity, and protections for high risk individuals. City Economic Development staff is hopeful that King County will enter Phase 2 in early June. The SavingLocalKC campaign continues to grow. As a reminder, SavingLocalKC.com is funded by the City's lodging tax fund and its mission is to help consumer facing businesses throughout King County offer deals and discounts that could be purchased now, for use once the Stay Home order limits are eased. Over the last week eight new businesses have signed up to provide deals, including the Museum of Flight. The Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce also came on as a partner. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are strong, with a high conversion rate of visitors to the website clicking through to buy deals. Parks and Recreation staff continued calling businesses to survey their status due to the pandemic. We anticipate reporting on results by the end of May. Meetine our Communitv's Basic Needs Food Security National Guard is expected to stay with the Food Pantry until end of May 31St, 2020. The Food pantry has reached out to the King County Resources and Americorps to back fill when the National Guard assignment work is completed. The National Guard has provided 6 persons on site 6 days a week, from 8 am to 3pm. Recently, two volunteers have gone back to work and it is to be expected that a few more of the food pantry volunteers will return back to work. Approximately 1,000 households are served at the Tuesday and Thursday food distribution, this number has been consistent on a weekly basis. The Pantry has been purchasing items in bulk from US Foods. US Foods provides stable products such as canned meats and vegetables but is becoming too expensive for the Pantry, which will need to look elsewhere. Starting May 18th the Pantry will be unable to order food from Food Lifeline because they will be supplying emergency boxes throughout the region/state. The Tukwila Pantry will look at other places like Darigold and Franz Bakery for ordering milk and bread on a regular basis. Additional updates will be provided once more information is available. Tukwila Food Pantry has partnered with Uber Eats for free food delivery for residents of Tukwila, SeaTac, Burien and Boulevard Park. Deliveries are every Tuesday from 2:30 pm — 4:00 pm. Residents will receive an emergency food box that includes produce. Residents are required to sign up by emailing the Tukwila Food Pantry. Uber is paying for the food delivery program. Seniors City staff again supported our senior community through direct food distribution to homebound residents. Staff calls residents on Monday and Tuesday, to set up a Wednesday meal delivery. Staff delivered to 74 clients, consisting of 529 meals. City staff is waiting on additional updates to determine if funds from the Senior Meal distribution can be reimbursed during the COVID-19 pandemic. FEMA has not yet defined it process. More information will be provided with the next couple of weeks. 26 Students Technology and Innovation Services (TIS) staff report that the City and the District were able to work out terms with AT&T for an additional 250 devices that have been delivered and are currently being deployed to grades K- 5. All initial devices procured at the start of the stay home, stay healthy order have been deployed for grades 6 — 12. Public Safety Plan Construction Protects There have been no changes to the Public Safety Plan projects since the last report. Compliance with the Governor's Order There have been no changes to compliance issues since the last report. 27 w Tukwila Fire Department Volume Study Fire Stan 54 ' Ploaw rato: All tranzWrlabon. surlaca watur, sanitary sower and wator dsbibubon raKlllbas an Iw nunurous to show an ihls imnunarr map.

Total TFD Call Volume in April `20 represented a decrease of 27% compared to April `19 (Jan, Feb, and March averaged an 8% decrease) 2. Most of April's drop resulted from a marked decrease in EMS responses, which fell 28% compared to 2019. Fire and Service calls both fell but each carry far less weight due to comparatively low volumes. 3. April '20 call activity was 24% lower than in March. a.

Year to date through April 301h, total case volume for the Tukwila Fire Department has fallen 12% compared to the same time frame in 2019. 5.

Feb 2020 is a leap month with 3.57% more days than the previous three Febs. 2. Because of their infrequent occurrence, Fire and Service response calls are more subject to wilder "% Changes" than EMS responses. YTD, we've averaged 3.1 of these types of calls (combined) each day. An increase or decrease of just one of these types of calls per day would result in a change of about a third. This helps to explain some of the volatility in the graphs and charts. 3. Station -related metrics are based on "Primary Station": while more than one station may respond to a single call, only the station deemed as primary by ValleyCom gets the credit. In some cases, an OSA (Outside Agency/Mutual Aid) unit will be designated as primary on a call within Tukwila. Those calls are included within "All TFD" metrics but not within individual Station metrics. pg. 2 180 160 140 120 100 so 60 40 20 0 2019 2020 s1 ■ January 121 106 ■ February 110 122 ■ March 116 94 ■April 107 57 160 140 120 100 Total Cases by Primary Station 76 75 80 62 90 90 79 73 8o 52 76 52 EMS Cases by Primary Station so 60 40 zo 0 2019 zozo 2019 zozo 2019 zozo 51 52 53 ■ January 92 82 59 61 52 49 ■ February 73 92 52 58 50 ■ Mardi 81 71 69 68 �54 I Jb 61 ■April 76 38 i 66 43 59 42 154 150 149 zozo 4 140 132 133 109 019 zozo 54 131 122 136 120 137 119 128 88 pg. 3 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 zo19 zo- 51 ■January 21 20 ■ February 24 23 ■ March 33 19 ■April 20 16 Fire Cases by Primary Station 18 14 11 10 19 19 16 9 9 8 10 9 Service Cases by Primary Station 1114 )19 2020 54 '0 13 9 10 8 13 14 15 16 14 12 10 8 — 6 4 0 � 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 51 52 53 54 ■ January 8 4 3 6 18 5 1 7 5 ■ February 12 7 6 3 15 2 9 2 ■ Mardi 2 4 2 3 7 3 5 1 ■April 11 3 5 1 7 1 7 6 pg. 4 Total Monthly Case Volume 600 S00 � I 400 300 200 100 o IIIII �IIIIIIIIII� a a on E o E m n Q E v c n` Q oy E o E w a a oy E o E E a LL Q a t LL a a t LL a a 0 LL a s LL 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 EMS Monthly Case Volume 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 Q a O o a Q O o l a n o Q a O o 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 pg. 5 Fire Monthly Case Volume 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 IIIII IIIII a a on E o E m n Q ?

Affirm estimated revenue gap of $12 million in 2020 and $6 million in 2021 via resolution, approve resolution for temporary wage reduction for non -represented staff. DISCUSSION Recap of Current Projected Revenue Gap As discussed in the first five pages of the attached memo, the City identified an initial revenue gap (March through May) of $6 million that has been filled with phase I reductions of $4 million, with departments currently working to close the remaining gap. Departments have been scrubbing their budgets and have closed the remaining gap as of May 6, 2020. There is an additional revenue gap of $6 million for the remainder of the year that needs to be addressed, bringing the total 2020 revenue gap to $12 million. Additionally, economic indicators point to a continuing loss of revenue in 2021 as well. At this time, we are projecting a revenue loss of $6 million in 2021. Thus, the City will need to fill a total revenue gap of $12 million in 2020 and a revenue gap of $6 million in 2021; meaning ongoing budget reductions. The 2021 revenue gap can be addressed via the biennial budget process, with some of the strategies identified for 2020 to be carried forward as appropriate. Affirmation of Revenue Gap, Tools for Decision Tree Included as an attachment is a draft Resolution affirming the estimated revenue gap of $12 million in 2020 and $6 million in 2021, and authorizing the Mayor, city Administrator, or Designee, to implement various cost -saving measures to address revenue shortfalls due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The draft Resolution identifies voluntary retirements and separations, reductions in workforce through attrition, furloughs, layoffs, pay reductions, and/or reductions in operating and office hours, closure of offices or departments or reductions in levels of operations or services, as needed. The Mayor, City Administrator, 39 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 and Staff will continue to collaborate and communicate with the City Council as to what actions will be taken based on collective bargaining negotiations currently underway with the City's labor partners. Decision Tree For purposes of discussing tools that can be utilized in the decision tree to close the revenue gap, the tools are grouped into two buckets: labor and non -labor. As a reminder, any changes to wages, hours, and working conditions must be bargained with labor partners. Based on discussion at the May 4, 2020 Committee of the Whole, the following tools were identified that can be utilized to close the gap in both 2020 and 2021. Tools for Decision Tree Comments Labor Voluntary a reduction Department Directors have volunteered to the end of 2020. Considered to be long-term and could be budgeted in 2021- Layoffs 2022. Layoffs would typically be used for service level reductions or to follow collective bargaining agreement (CBA) language. Would result in unemployment costs to the City Voluntary and involuntary Considered to be short-term, and impacted employees could furloughs be reinstated by the end of 2020 or when workloads return to normal. Would result in unemployment costs to the City Voluntary retirements Would result in long-term savings only if vacated position and separations remains unfilled/frozen Early retirement incentive Would result in long-term savings only if vacated position remains unfilled/frozen Hiring freeze Results in savings only as long as the position remains vacant Reduced work hours per Should not result in unemployment costs to the City week/pa reduction Reduce overtime Some CBAs contain provisions for overtime in certain instances and some overtime is reimbursable. Voluntary leave without Depending on length of leave, could result in unemployment pay costs to the City Attrition Freezing positions that have been vacated through attrition. Savings only realized if positions remains vacant Non -Labor Eliminate travel and non- No additional comments essential training Reduce/eliminate Would affect capital projects that do not have a dedicated transfers to capital project funds revenue source Reduce department budgets by program or No additional comments type of expenditure M INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 There is currently an adequate fund balance in the Fleet fund. Any reductions in transfers would be one-time in nature. Reduce transfers to Fleet Schedule for replacing certain vehicles would need to be fund reviewed and updated as needed in order to maintain a positive fund balance. Fleet purchases scheduled for this year are being reviewed and will be moved to next year when possible Contingency fund use is one-time in nature and, per Contingency fund Resolution No. 1919, must be repaid within a reasonable time frame Would need to be repaid and include a reasonable interest Interfund loan rate. An example would be the sewer utility loan to the general fund Changes in service levels are policy decision that are set by Service level adjustments Council, typically through the budget or budget amendment process Also included as an attachment is a document published by Government Finance Officers Association. The document identifies short-term strategies that can be implemented in order to maintain a balanced budget. Most of the tools listed in the document are included in the chart above. Parameters for Decision Tree In order to close the revenue gap in both 2020 as well as 2021, the following parameters are offered: - Reductions should be proportional and equitable across departments and labor groups as applied to programs identified through the priority -based budgeting process - Revenue gap in 2021 can be closed by continuing the use of some tools into next year as determined by City Council via setting the 2021-2022 biennial budget - Changes in service levels are policy decisions that are best made through the upcoming budget process - Appropriate mix of reductions in labor costs with contingency funds - Contingency fund use is one-time and, per adopted policy, must be repaid within a reasonable time - Early retirement incentives could be a tool utilized to close the revenue gap in 2021 Non-Rearesented Staff To achieve budget savings towards the projected $12 million revenue shortfall, one tool available to the City is to implement a temporary wage reduction of non -represented staff effective June 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. Staff is recommending a 10% base wage reduction for Administrative Team Members (listed below) and the use of 14- furlough days for the rest of the non -represented positions which is roughly equal to a 10% wage reduction and work hours. Savings is estimated to be approximately $337 thousand. 41 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 4 • City Administrator • Deputy City Administrator • Public Works Director • Police Chief • Fire Chief • Parks & Recreation Director • Technology Services Director • Finance Director • DCD Director • Human Resources Director • Economic Development Administrator • Municipal Court Administrator The difference in the 10% wage reduction for Administrative Team members and other non -represented positions taking furlough days is to ensure continued compliance with Fair Labor Standards Act rules regarding overtime. To maintain FLSA Exempt status (not be required to pay overtime) the temporary percentage wage reduction for the next seven months for the Administrative Team members allows them to continue to receive a set salary regardless of the number of hours worked. The other FLSA Exempt non - represented positions will be temporality changed to a FLSA non-exempt hourly pay status and take the 14 furlough days to reduce their pay by 10% and work the commensurate hours associated with the pay reduction. Details of how the furlough time would be implemented is being worked out by a small group to ensure City services and continuity during this time. A second draft resolution, which implements these cost -saving measures for non - represented staff, is attached to this memo. Department Budget Scrub Departments were asked to scrub their budgets to offer a list of additional reductions for 2020. The chart on the next two pages lists reductions by department that were identified through the budget scrub exercise and has been updated with reductions identified as of May 6, 2020. The table below indicates budget reductions, by program for each department. It does not include reductions in overtime, travel and non -essential training, or furloughing of part-time positions as those reductions were captured in Phase 1, immediate reductions. In addition to the chart on the next two pages, the 2019-2020 Biennial Budget Program by Department attachment has been updated to reflect those programs that are reduced through the department budget scrub. Each affected program is highlighted in yellow. 42 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 5 Reductions by Reduction Effects of Reductions Department/Program Mayor Employee Recognition 10,750 Cancellation of all remaining employee recognition events for 2020 Organizational Dev. & Training 14,519 Cancellation of misc. staff development training Professional Services 5,500 Reduction of non -essential services Economic Development City Policy Development 3,300 Delaying economic development plan City Clerk Records Management 15,000 Reduce document digitization efforts Total Reductions from Mayor's 49,069 Department Administrative Services Human Resources Labor Relations 12,500 Reduce prof secs for labor relations and investigations and advertising Community Svcs & Engagement Community Engagement 17,500 Reduced funding for Community Connectors program, advertising, and communications Total Reductions from 30,000 Administrative Services Finance Insurance & Risk Management 90,000 Reduced liability insurance in 2020 and claims & judgements Budget Preparation 25,000 Remove budgeted cost of budget software Total Reductions from Finance 115,000 Recreation Organizational Support 57,408 Reduce maintenance project work, Planning & Development 7,000 Discontinue Rec guide for 2020, discontinue professional development training Wellness & Enrichment 16,960 Prof svcs contracts, supplies for programs Front Desk 9,950 Supplies, credit card charges, armored car svcs Events 41,299 Supplies and services contracts Preschool 2,600 Reduced costs due to program closures Senior Services & Programs 4,503 Reduced costs due to program closures Teen 17,980 Removed all trips with admissions costs, reduced costs due to program closures, cancelled Writer open gym Youth 44,602 Removed all outings and pool trips, reduced costs due to program closures Volunteer Services 500 Cancelled volunteer appreciation event Facility Rentals 10,950 Reduced supplies due to closure Administration 6,000 Supplies reduced Total Reductions from Recreation 219,752 Parks Parks 32,902 Utilities, supplies, small tools & equipment DCD Permit Intake and Coordination 3,500 Reduced operation supplies and training Current Planning 12,369 Reduced e)dra labor - student intern fuloughed Const.

This is a high-level summary that includes many of the tools listed above. It should be noted that this model shows the use of contingency funds in two places. First, as a 3:1 match for reduction in labor costs. Second, as additional funds needed to balance 2020. Any additional reductions by labor groups or department scrubs would result in less contingency funds needed to balance 2020. Each labor group may choose to participate in a different way. For example, one labor group will achieve their INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 7 proportional share of reductions by holding positions vacant, while another may opt for reduced work week rather than layoffs.

Interfund Loan At the May 11, 2020 Committee of the Whole meeting, information was requested regarding the use of an interfund loan in lieu of utilizing, or reducing the use of, contingency funds to close the revenue gap. Interfund loans are permissible and can utilize funds which are clearly inactive or are in excess of anticipated cash needs throughout the duration of the loan and are legally available for investment. Any borrowings from one fund to another fund should be stipulated in a resolution or ordinance that specifies the terms of the loan including 45 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 8 repayment schedule and a reasonable interest rate (based on the external rate available to the City). Repayment terms of the loan may continue over a period of more than one year, however, a loan that continues longer than three years will be scrutinized by auditors for possible permanent diversion of funds. Because an interfund loan is strictly an internal funding mechanism, there are no costs to initiate the borrowing. The loan can be repaid earlier if funds are available. Any early repayment would reduce the total interest cost. The last posted investment rate in the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) is for April 2020, and reflects a net earnings rate of 0.55%. The current prime lending rate is currently 3.25%. Repayment terms would need to be identified in order to accurately determine the amount of interest paid over the life of the loan. However, in order to provide some idea of interest cost for an interfund loan, the following examples are provided using the following criteria: - Amount of loan = $4.818.000 (utilizina interfund loan rather than continaencv funds) - Annual installments - Simgle interest calculation on outstandina principal Total interest over the life of the loan (rounded Length of Loan 0.55% LGIP 3.25% Prime Lending 3 year repayment schedule $53,000 $313,000 5 year repayment schedule $79,000 $470,000 10 year repayment schedule $146,000 $861,000 RECOMMENDATION Council is being asked to approve the two Resolutions and consider them at the May 11, 2020 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent May 18, 2020 Regular meeting.

BACKGROUND Allan Ekberg, Mayor At the May 11, 2020 Committee of the Whole meeting, Council reviewed the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, provided direction on the expected financial gap in 2020, and provided input on the tools available to close this gap. One of the tools is to reduce, defer, or cancel public work projects. Some budgeted projects have already been cancelled as part of the Phase 1 and 2 reductions, these include $1.2 million savings by cancelling the 2020 Overlay and Repair Project and Phase 2 reductions included $210k from the 303 Facilities funds, which eliminated the previously planned City Hall siding and roof repairs as well as significantly reducing the Citywide facility planning scope. On May 11, the City Council requested additional information related to capital project funding. Below is an analysis of capital projects in the residential street, arterial street, and general government improvement funds. The analysis includes description of funding, expenditures to date, expenditures committed for the remainder of this year, Phase 1 and 2 reductions, and a list of projects for Council discussion and decisions. Some of these projects are currently planned to be reviewed in Council Committees, for example the proposed Citywide Facility Plan scope is to be reviewed in the Finance Committee at the end of May and the 42nd Ave S. Bridge design is currently out for proposals and planned for Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in June. The Transportation and Infrastructure committee has been asked to review these projects prior to the full Council review planned at the May 18 Regular meeting. ANALYSIS The attached spreadsheet lists the active 2020 projects from three funds in the CIP: 103 Residential Streets, 104 Bridges & Arterial Streets, and 303 Facilities. Project descriptions and status are listed. Column A — Description of funding, either by City or has grant/dedicated funding. Column B — Estimate of City funded budget/expenditures in 2020. Column C — Estimate of grant/dedicated revenue in 2020. One anomaly is W Valley Hwy, line 8, where the CIP has $3.1 m construction budgeted in 2020, but we are still in design, so only $600k is listed in this C:1Userslandy-y1AppDatalLocallMicrosoftlWindowslINetCachelContent.Outlook\SEWXUOP21Info Memo CIP 2020 Projects 05152020 do edits2.docx FYA Info Memo 2020 CIP Reductions Page 2 spreadsheet for grant funded expenditures in 2020. Dedicated revenue includes REET, parking taxes, & MVTF, which are all estimated to be reduced due to COVID-19. Column D — 2020 expenditures to date. Column E — Expenditures committed for 2020. Column F — Phase 1 reductions, showing the construction funds for the 2020 Overlay & Repair Project. Column G — Funding for Traffic Calming on hold. Column H — Council Policy Decision List — Go/No Go, could be used for 2020 reductions Column I — Available column for Council discussion/decision. Lines 3 and 12 include projects that are completely grant funded, but we have not yet obtained grants, so they cannot be included as potential reductions for City funding. Decision Points Below are the possible decision points for the City Council. Decisions on capital projects do not have to be made at the May 18, 2020 Regular meeting, rather, decisions on each capital project could be made at a later date when the City has received data on sales tax, admissions tax, and utility tax revenue at the end of June. These capital projects and review is part of the tools and decision tree matrix discussed previously. Fund 103 — Residential Streets There are currently no savings available in the 103 Fund due to already committed projects and waiting for reimbursement from Seattle City Light for 42nd Ave S Phase III and 53rd Ave S. The Traffic Calming Project has been put on hold and the $350,000 unspent in this project is currently needed to maintain a positive ending fund balance. An Interfund Loan Repayment is listed in this fund to insure a positive fund balance. Fund 104 — Arterial Streets There are many projects listed which are grant funded or use dedicated revenues. There are some projects which have possible savings due to unspent funds. Some of these costs and decisions could be delayed to a future date, such as the Overlay and Repair Project and 42nd Ave S Bridge design. Strander Blvd Extension (line 7) — this is the second of two mandatory payments to repay the state grant for design funds. Most of these funds ($475,000) is from dedicated revenues. 42nd Ave. S. Bridge (line 11) — is for the 30% design of the 42nd Ave S Bridge and shows the authorized amounts of $320k in City funding and $680k from the new Solid Waste utility tax dedicated to streets for a total $1 million. This project is currently out for proposals and is planned for Transportation and Infrastructure review in June. This project was approved by Council earlier this year in an effort to prepare for possible federal and state funds. Similar to the last recession, there is a possibility of a Federal infrastructure bill that would be used for "shovel ready' projects, such as this. If Council chooses to delay the 30% design, the City will then apply in 2021 for the next round of BRAC funding. The City was unsuccessful in seeking BRAC funds in 2017 and in 2019. The possible savings would include the $320k in general funds and the $680k solid waste utility tax designated for streets, which would then to be dedicated by Council for other 104 CIP projects. As a reminder, Ordinance No. 2609, which increased solid waste utility tax from 6% up to 16% effective July 1, 2020, dedicated taxes above the original 6% be dedicated to road maintenance and road related projects. Overlay and Repair 2020 (line 13) this project was cancelled during the Phase 1 reductions for a savings for $1.2 million in 2020. 2020 Bridge Inspections (line 15) — there is $335k budgeted in 2020, which covers the 42nd Ave S Bridge In-depth Inspection for $39,884 and the retainage required to the contractor for the S 196th St Bridge Repair. The remaining balance that could be reduced is $20k from Line 15 and $200k from Line 17, which cancels the painting of the S 119th St Pedestrian Bridge in the Allentown/Duwamish neighborhood.

The Annual Signal Program (line 19) — already includes a 50% reduction of $62.5k, savings which cancels some maintenance and purchase of replacement parts in 2020. Walk & Roll Plan update (line 22) — with the required update to the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan (line 21), the City had scheduled an update to the Walk & Roll Plan for $75k, but it is not required by law. TIB Channelization Study (line 23) — is the balance of $25k still remaining from the original $100,000 budgeted. 303 Fund - Facilities For the 303 Fund, the City had $656k beginning fund balance for facility improvements. TCC siding repairs (lines 28) — the Council's adopted budget had designated $200k to complete this maintenance projects. The City received two quotes and the new budget is estimated at $120k. There are savings of $80k from this reduced bid and then the current estimate $120k listed as decision points. City Hall Siding repairs (line 28+) — as part of Phase 2 reductions, the city reduced this fund by $100k to reflect the cancelation of this project. 2020 Facilities Study (line 291 — as part of Phase 2 reductions, this project was reduced by $110k, leaving $190k as another decision point for the 2020 Facilities Study/Seismic. This project would provide an updated seismic study for our remaining city facilities as well as preliminary study for use of the facilities once the Justice Center is opened in the fall. This study and scope is currently planned to be reviewed by the Finance Committee at the end of May. FISCAL IMPACT The attached table provides a summary of the current status and funding of all projects in the 103, 104 and 303 funds and the possible available funds by cancelling, modifying or deferring these projects.

DISCUSSION Staff has been working on a daily basis to evaluate and analyze the financial impacts to the City of Tukwila's budget as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This memo is to share with the Council current thinking and potential next steps associated with this global issue. I want to start with a shared recognition that there are difficult choices ahead as we deal with lost and delayed revenues. The organization is here to serve the Tukwila residents, businesses and broader communities and we committed to moving forward through process with our City values of Caring, Professional and Responsive at the forefront of our work. We also understand that there may be additional impacts to employees. As we approach what we hope is a new, but relatively short-term, fiscal reality we remain committed to being transparent, creative, and empathetic as we identify solutions that preserve City services and, as much as possible, as many positions that are feasible. Further, we are committed to working with our employees and labor partners in this effort. Because there is so much uncertainty with regard to the duration of this pandemic, as well as how long businesses will be closed, a number of assumptions have been made regarding impacts to general fund revenue. As new information is received and when there is a better idea of when the pandemic will end, we will be able to better predict the full impact of this emergency. We can partially identify revenue impacts through June. However, estimating financial impacts for the second half of the year will depend greatly on when the pandemic is over and how quickly the economy can recover. At this time, there is not enough information to predict what the second half of 2020 could look like. 53 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 That said, our assumptions are as follows: • Non -essential Businesses will be shut down into May • When businesses reopen, it will take some time to return to normal • We expect very little sales tax to be remitted during March and April given the "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" order • Property tax deadlines have been extended to June 1 for residential and commercial properties who pay property taxes themselves (property taxes paid through mortgage companies will still be required to be remitted on time). It is unknown how many taxpayers pay property taxes themselves in the City, but payment delays will affect the City's cash flows • Uncertainty regarding utility customer payments which would impact interfund utility tax • Sales tax revenue is received two months after it is earned. We will not know the true impacts on sales tax until May and June • Impacts of lost and deferred revenue will create cash flow issues Financial impacts affecting the City are broken down into two categories: Lost Revenue and Delayed Revenue. Lost Revenue This category includes revenue that will forever be lost due to businesses and programming closed down. Each month that businesses are closed will result in well over $1 million in lost revenue. With the information we have today, the following chart estimates lost revenue each month through June. March has been calculated as a partial month because systematic closures did not occur until mid -month. Other miscellaneous revenue in the last row include a myriad of other small revenue sources including interest earnings, donations, court fines, permits, licenses, etc. Again, the full impacts to March revenue will not be known until the latter part of May.

It is unknown when the delayed revenue would be received by the City. With a high rate of unemployment caused by businesses closing, many utilities are waiving late fees and not shutting off utilities to customers until the emergency is over. We have also made the determination to not undertake either commercial or residential shut off as this time, and have suspended late fees associated with utility nonpayment. This could result in utility customers, including businesses, paying their bills late, which would result in a delay in receiving utility tax revenue. As noted above, an extension for property tax payments has been extended to June 1 st for residential and commercial property owners that pay the tax themselves. Other reasons for revenue receipts delayed include: • City permit counter currently closed to new permits, though still processing existing projects' permits • Potential new businesses are not opening during this pandemic • Businesses that are granted permission to defer tax payments without penalty At this time, with so little information available, it is next to impossible to predict when delayed revenue could be received by the City. For now, an assumption that 30% of total monthly revenues in the delayed category will be received either later this year or next year. The assumption of 30% is only an estimate and the actual impact could be much higher, or lower.

Please recognize, information changes on a daily basis. As new information becomes available, the assumptions and projections will be updated.

It should be noted that this gap is roughly equal to 10% of the City's annual general fund. Adjust General Fund Expenditures Based on Revenue Assumptions An effective way to reduce general fund expenditures would be to implement changes in three phases: immediate changes, near -term changes, and changes that can be implemented as better information becomes available and/or the longer the pandemic lasts. Immediate: Immediate changes that have already been implemented include the following - Hiring freeze for all currently vacant positions annual savings) $1,600,000 All travel cancelled, no non -essential training (unspent balance $140,000 Furlough all part-time, temporary extra labor (excluding unemployment) $150,000 No overtime unless authorized by Mayor $910,000 No transfers to capital project funds $1,200,000 Total immediate savings $4,000,000 56 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 5 After implementing the measures above, it is anticipated that two-thirds of the gap will be closed, leaving a remaining gap of $2.1 million. All departments are being required to immediately scrub their budgets and identify all other cost savings from programs that could be delayed until 2021 or eliminated altogether. Department reductions must be in excess of the reductions already listed above and may not include expenditures that are revenue backed. We expect to have that information back next week. In addition, staff is investigating a number of other opportunities to identify $2.1 M in savings, knowing that there may be additional savings needed should the duration of this emergency go longer, therefore requiring making up for additional lost revenues above $6.1 M. While not all of these may come to fruition for a variety of reasons, we are also currently: • Identifying potential additional transfers from the general fund that could be delayed or eliminated • Reviewing the Fleet Fund to determine if there is additional capacity there that could be used as a partial one-time, short term stop -gap measure, and what the implications of such a decision would be • Fully scrubbing our contingency and reserve funds to determine if there are additional funds over the mandated policy amounts that could be used • Initiating the discussion with our labor partners to identify if any of the following can help close the budget gap: voluntary retirements, voluntary leave without pay for staff that choose this option, additional potential furloughs, reduction in hours, reduction in pay or potential layoffs, and seeking labor's own ideas to fill in the gap We have been soliciting ideas from staff on other areas for reductions and, as usual, are impressed by the many varied ideas that have come from our employees that serve our City. It is clear that they understand the serious nature of the financial issues we are facing and want to be a part of the solution. In addition, there is a clear ethic of teamwork permeating through the different ideas. As you know, no impacts to wages, benefits or working conditions can be implemented without bargaining such impacts in advance with our labor partners. Our commitment is to continue to keep you informed of any changes as we progress through these difficult times. Once we have a better idea of a final recommendation to close the current $2.1 M we will work with you, as well as the staff, to implement any additional changes. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. New Information for April 13, 2020 Finance Committee The intent of this memo is to prepare the City Council to make informed policy and budget decisions regarding the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.. Decisions will need to be made this year for the 2020 budget. As this is a budget year, decisions for the next biennium can be made through the normal budget process this summer. 57 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 6 The COVID-19 pandemic is causing unprecedented financial impacts world-wide and the full extent of these impacts will not be known for months. However, we do know several key factors: - Initial U.S. unemployment claims are significantly higher than during the Great Recession. The graph below is from the April 4, 2020 CV-19 Track No. 4, published by the King County Office of Economic and Financial Analysis. The line at the far right side of the graph is not the border, but the number of claims between March 22, 2020 and March 28, 2020; FREE COMM Sp "Q IM0.000 VWX0 Z.QKQN 1,0WAW 0 1970 1g75 %92: 1985 195E 1"s 2000 20M - King County unemployment claims totaled 47,333 for the week of March 29, 2020 through April 4, 2020; - Statewide, businesses have the option to file, and pay, excise tax returns later than the normal due date. This will impact the City's ability to forecast revenue as well as cash flow for the next several months; - The City has received requests from businesses for an extension to file tax returns later than the current due date. City Council will be asked to approve temporary emergency policies that will formally grant businesses an extension. In order to understand, and develop a plan to address the financial impacts due to the COVID-19 pandemic, three models have been developed. The models have been developed using information available the week of April 6, 2020 and are subject to change as new information becomes available. All models consider revenue losses and include immediate expenditure reductions listed in the chart at the bottom of page 4 above as well as additional reductions identified by department totaling $1.8 million for a grand total expenditure reduction of $6.2 million. The City has already taken several steps to address the financial impacts of the pandemic. The city immediately implemented several cost savings measures. - Hiring freeze on all existing vacant positions. Positions will be filled only by approval of the Mayor, as deemed necessary. If all positions listed below are frozen for the remainder of 2020, total savings would be roughly $1.6 million in salaries plus benefits. Total projected savings will change as other positions become vacant due to retirements and/or if some of the positions listed below are filled. Currently vacant positions by department are as follows on the next page: INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 7 o Community Development: senior planner, building inspector III, associate planner, plans examiner o Fire: emergency management specialist, admin support technician — Note: Firefighter personnel positions currently in the hiring process will continue. o Police: community policing coordinator, evidence technician, police officer (3), master police officer (3) — Note: Police are authorized to continually actively recruit and hire new police officers to fill these vacant positions. Due to the time involved in this process and further retirements, it is assumed that not all of these positions will be able to be filled in 2020. o Public Works: engineer, facilities maintenance technician o Street: maintenance & operations specialist o TIS: information technology specialist - All travel and non -essential training canceled for the remainder of the year. Total savings is estimated to be $140 thousand. - Furlough all extra labor and part-time staff. Net savings, after considering unemployment costs, could be as much as $150 thousand but only if all extra labor and part-time positions remain vacant for the remainder of 2020. - Remove transfers of $1.2 million from the general fund to capital project funds. This will impact capital projects in residential street, arterial street, and the general government improvement funds. Further discussion on what capital projects would be impacted will be held at a later Finance Committee meeting. - No overtime unless authorized by the Mayor could result in a savings of up to $910 thousand. This affects all departments including Police and Fire. All departments have been asked to identify additional expenditure reductions. To date, departments have identified an additional $1.8 million in savings. In addition to the steps highlighted above, the City also established a budget ideas email address for employees to submit budget reduction suggestions. A cross -departmental group is being put together to review all suggestions and provide Administration with recommendations on which suggestions should be implemented. These suggestion will be vetted with the unions, and unions are being asked to come with budget ideas, as well. Fire department overtime: During 2019, the Finance Committee spent considerable time reviewing several aspects of fire department operations in order to understand why the fire department is consistently over budget. Per the informational memo dated May 22, 2019 and most recently reviewed by the Finance Committee on October 28, 2019, one option to keep the fire department within budget was to significantly decrease use of overtime to fill staffing when additional firefighters call in sick leave. Station 52 had the least amount of fire calls the last 5 years and would be the station affected with this change. The temporary impact would be to staff an aid car instead of an engine at this station, as warranted based on available staffing. 59 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 8 At the April 13, 2020 Finance Committee meeting, the following question was asked: Are firefighters moved among stations when faced with minimum staffing so that it is always Fire Station 52 that affected by placing the aid car in service in place of an engine? Per Chief Wittwer, personnel shift between stations as needed. Fire Station 52 would be the station where the aid car will be placed in service. Effective April 1, 2020, this option was implemented and is estimated to save $250 thousand in overtime over the course of the year. It should be noted that Fire Station 54's response time to the neighborhood around Fire Station 52 is very quick and within our adopted goals for response times for the Tukwila community. Fire Station 54 responds to the Old Hill neighborhood often, particularly when Fire Station 52 personnel are at trainings or covering a different area of the City for a variety of reasons.

Timeline through April 15, 2020 The timeline at the top of the next page highlights select significant events that have occurred in the State as well as King County. The time period covered is 38 days and begins on February 29, 2020 with the first known COVID-19 related death in the State through April 6, 2020 when schools across the State were ordered closed for the remainder of the academic year.

Under Scenario 1, the City would need to identify ways to close an additional gap of $2.4 million. Scenario 1- The "Stay at Home" order not extended past May 4th and allows gatherings of up to 100 individuals through the summer months and all restrictions lifted by September.

The City should expect a reduced base of at least $4 million in revenue in 2021 which means that ongoing savings will be needed to maintain the budget for the next biennium. C'ach FInIAf Loss of revenue without an equal offset in expenditure reduction will result in an impact to cash flows. The chart below demonstrates the impacts to cash flow for each of the 3 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 17 scenarios modeled as well as cash flow for the current budget; revenue received by the City each month less payment of expenditures each month. As indicated in the chart below, if the general fund began the year at zero (no cash in the bank), the general fund would end the year at very close to zero. However, during the year, the general fund would have a cash deficit of $3.4 million in April and a cash deficit of $2.3 million in October. Approximately $3.4 million in reserves are currently used for cash flow purposes in April and October, shortly before the City receives property tax revenue. As each of the 3 scenarios indicate, without reducing expenditures above what has already been identified, the need for cash on hand throughout the year increases. Scenario 1 would require maintaining a minimum contingency fund reserve of $5.2 million in order to cover expenditures, while Scenario 3, the worst case, would require a minimum contingency fund reserve of at least $7.8 million at year-end to maintain a positive cash balance. Minimum contingency fund reserves are summarized as follows: Current budget $3.4 million required to maintain positive cash flow Scenario 1 $5.2 million required to maintain positive cash flow Scenario 2 $7.1 million required to maintain positive cash flow Scenario 3 $7.8 million required to maintain positive cash flow CASH FLOW $6 �S1 CaIhFl W S2Cash FI1%, S3 Cash Row Budget Cash Flow $a Financial Reserve Policy — General Fund and Contingency Fund The City adopted a reserve policy that was most recently amended by Resolution 1919, adopted by Council on November 20, 2017. The policy states that the general fund unassigned fund balance shall equal or exceed 18% and the contingency fund reserve •• INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 18 balance shall equal or exceed 10% of previous year general fund revenue, exclusive of significant non -operating, non -recurring revenues such as real estate sales or transfers from other funds. The policy also requires a one-time revenue reserve that will be maintained in the contingency fund. The one-time revenue reserve shall be credited annually with 10% of the prior year one-time revenues to the extent general fund surplus for the year is sufficient to cover the reserve funding. A copy of the resolution is included as an attachment to this memo. The policy also states that any draw down of minimum balances shall occur only upon recommendation of City Administration and approval by City Council through a resolution. Should a draw down occur, the City Administration shall establish a plan, no later than the end of the fiscal year following the decline, to restore the fund balance to the prescribed minimum level. The plan shall be presented to and approved by the City Council. Per Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), a national organization representing public finance professionals throughout the United States and Canada and, among other functions, provides best practice guidance on all aspects of government finance functions. For minimum unassigned general fund balances, GFOA recommends, "at a minimum, that general-purpose governments, regardless of size, maintain unrestricted budgetary fund balance in their general fund of no less than two months of regular general fund operating revenues or regular general fund operating expenditures." Other considerations include: - Vulnerability to natural disasters; - Dependency on volatile revenue sources, in our case, sales tax; - The predictability of its revenues and the volatility of its expenditures (i.e., higher levels of unrestricted fund balance may be needed if significant revenue sources are subject to unpredictable fluctuations or if operating expenditures are highly volatile); - Perceived exposure to significant one-time outlays (e.g., disasters, immediate capital needs, state budget cuts); - The potential drain upon general fund resources from other funds, as well as the availability of resources in other funds; - The potential impact on the entity's bond ratings and the corresponding increased cost of borrowed funds Additional best practices include the following: - Define the time period within which and contingencies for which fund balances will be used; - Describe how the government's expenditure and/or revenue levels will be adjusted to match any new economic realities that are behind the use of fund balance as a financing bridge; - Describe the time period over which the components of fund balance will be replenished and the means by which they will be replenished; - Governments should seek to replenish reserves within one to three years of use. 70 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 19 Parameters for using unassigned general fund balance and contingency fund reserves should include the following: - Are one time in nature. Once they are used, they are gone unless replenished via a repayment plan. - Some reserves must be maintained for cash flow purposes. The amount maintained is determined by the lowest balance during the fiscal year. (As noted above in the cash flow section, with each worsening scenario, the amount of reserves required to maintain a positive cash flow increase. - Funds can be used for short-term downturns/losses but any use of the funds must be repaid within a reasonable timeframe. - Funds used for longer -term downturns should be a stop -gap only and a long-term, sustainable solution must be identified and implemented. - It should be noted that the draft general fund unassigned fund balance as of December 31, 2019 meets best practice guidelines of maintaining a minimum two months of general fund expenditures. Current reserves are as follows (draft until 2019 is officially closed): "General fund unassigned fund balance $12,476,158 Contingency fund $6,402,392 One-time revenue reserve $699,586 Total reserves $19,578,136 ** Exceeds required unassigned fund balance by $951,851 New Information for April 27, 2020 Finance Committee Financial Reserve Policy — Enterprise Funds The Reserve Policy also includes requirements for enterprise funds. Per the policy, the unrestricted balances of the enterprise funds shall equal or exceed 20% of the previous year revenue, exclusive of the effects of GASB Statement 68, as well as significant non - operating, non -recurring revenues such as real estate sales, transfers in from other funds, or debt proceeds. Parameters for unrestricted balances in excess of required reserves include the following: - Enterprise funds cannot subsidize the general fund. Any enterprise funds utilized for general fund purposes would need to be via an interfund loan that would be required to be repaid, with interest, within a reasonable timeframe. - Reserves above the required 20% should be retained for planned and/or required capital projects adopted in the Capital Improvement Plan. The chart below details the draft ending unrestricted fund balance as of December 31, 2019 and includes the required reserve as well as a high-level calculation of the impact to ending fund balance after taking into consideration capital projects that are included in the Capital Improvement Program through 2024, adopted by City Council via Resolution No. 1953 on December 3, 2018. 71 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 20 The net effect on unrestricted (ending) fund balance includes the total cost of capital projects through 2024 less any dedicated revenue (grants, King County Flood Control, etc.) and operating revenue utilized to complete the projects. The figures below are high- level only and do not take into consideration loss of revenue in 2020 because businesses are currently closed or possible rate increases in future years. As information becomes available regarding lost revenue during the shutdown, the chart can be updated. 12/31/2019 20% of Policy Net Effect of Estimated Net Unrestricted 2018 Revenue Compliance Capital Projects Unrestricted Fund Balance * on Fund Fund Balance Balance 12/31/2024 401 - Water 7,484,856 1,425,806 Y (5,900,000) 159,050 402 - Sewer 13,606,550 2,174,173 Y 2,020,000 13,452,377 412 - Surface Water 5,423,776 1,423,961 Y (126,000) 3,873,814 *Adjusted for removal of the effects of GASB Statement 68 Unemployment The City of Tukwila is a `reimbursable employer' as are many government agencies in Washington State. This means that the City does not pay a monthly unemployment premium like we do with Industrial Insurance. Rather, when a former employee is receives unemployment, Employment Security Department (ESD) will pay the unemployment claim to the former employee then bill the City for those costs. Given the current COVID-19 pandemic and changes in unemployment regulations at both the Federal and State levels, unemployment rules have changed quite a bit and could continue to evolve. The Federal stimulus in the recently enacted CARES Act created Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) for businesses and workers affected by COVID-19. Key changes in unemployment due to the pandemic include the following- - Eligibility for unemployment benefits is expanded to include many Washington employees who would normally not qualify for unemployment including many self- employed individuals and those that do not have the typically required 680 hours to claim unemployment. - An additional $600 per week is available to nearly everyone on unemployment from March 29, 2020 through the week ending July 25, 2020. - Benefits extended by 13 weeks, for a maximum of 39 (which is about 9 months). This includes individuals who were already on unemployment as well as those who are newly eligible. Benefits to employees that are laid off or furloughed: Employees eligible to file for unemployment due to COVID-19 staffing reductions would receive a weekly benefit amount of between $188 and $790 from Washington State Unemployment. All employees receiving unemployment could receive an additional $600 per week from the CARES Act. Given the additional $600 provided under the CARES Act, some employees, mostly part- 72 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 21 time staff, could receive more money through unemployment benefits than if they continued to receive a regular paycheck. Costs incurred by the City: As previously stated, reimbursable employers are required to pay 100% of unemployment costs. However, during this national emergency, the federal government is offering some relief to reimbursable employers: - If an employee's hours were reduced or eliminated to follow public health recommendations, the federal government should pay 50% of the unemployment charges. - Workers at these government agencies are eligible for the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation supplement of $600 per week. It is probable that unemployment costs associated with any employee that was furloughed or laid off because reduced/eliminated work hours to follow public health recommendations would be reimbursed at 50%. This would most likely include part-time staff hired in the Parks and Recreation departments. Programs were shut down because social distancing could not be adequately maintained. However, reductions in full-time staff would be because of a loss of revenue, not because of the need to follow public health recommendations. While still unclear, it is highly unlikely that these unemployment costs would be reimbursed and the full unemployment cost would be borne by the City. Financial Impacts to Residential Street, Arterial Street, and General Government Improvement Capital Projects Funds The financial impact of the pandemic will not only reduce revenues in the general fund, but will also effect dedicated and restricted revenues in our capital projects funds. Revenues that are expected to be negatively impacted include parking tax, gas tax (MVFT), real estate excise tax (BEET), solid waste utility tax, and impact fees. At this time, we do not expect that grants already approved will be negatively affected by the pandemic. The chart that follows on the next page summarizes the financial situation for each of the 3 funds and is followed by a narrative explanation for each fund. 73 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 22 Residential Streets Bridges and Arterial General Government (103) Streets (104) Improvements (303) Beginning Balance - 2,090,386 656,306 Forecasted Revenues Taxes 243,000 1,027,250 Fees 470,056 Grants 359,609 2,889,000 Interest 20,000 414 Transfers -In 100,000 - Total Available Funds 702,609 6,496,692 656,720 Forecasted Spending Wages and Benefits 485,383 50,000 Forecasted Spending by Project Fund Project Name 103 42nd Ave S Phase III 378,000 103 53rd Ave S 399,000 103 Traffic Calming/Residential Safety Improve. 2,000 103 Interfund Loan Repayment 336,932 104 Strander Blvd Extension Grant Reimb. 622,000 * 104 West Valley Hwy (1-405 - Strander Blvd) 350,000 * 104 Boeing Access Rd/Airport Wy Seismic Retrofit 2,614,000 104 42nd Ave Bridge Replacement 320,000 104 Annual Overlay 1,400,000 104 Annual Bridge Inspection & Repairs 335,000 104 ADA Improvements 50,000 104 Annual Traffic Signal Program 125,000 104 Wetland & Environmental Mitigation 40,000 104 Transportation Element of Comp.

At this time, the City and Seattle City Light are still disputing revenue of approximately $500 thousand the City expected to receive from the utility as part of the 42nd Ave S and 53rd Ave S roadway projects. Because this revenue is still disputed, it is not included in the summary table that follows this discussion. This matter is currently being handled by our attorney. It should be noted that a budgeted transfer in of $100 thousand is still included in the revenue budget. Expenditures include final costs associated with the 42nd Ave S and 53rd Ave S projects as well as an interfund loan repayment that was necessary at the end of 2019 to keep the fund from reflecting a negative cash balance at the end of 2019. Total amount of the loan was $337 thousand and was necessary because Seattle City Light did not reimburse the City, as expected. 74 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 23 Based on the current forecast for revenue and cost estimates for the projects listed above, it is projected that this fund will have a negative fund balance of $514 thousand at the end of 2020. Unless Seattle City Light reimburses the City for costs incurred on the 2 roadway projects, a transfer in of over $400 thousand will be needed to keep this fund positive at year-end. Staff is recommending that the transfer come from the General Government Improvement fund. The transfer amount, based on current information, could be roughly $386 thousand, leaving a deficit of only $28 thousand to be covered by the general fund. If Seattle City Light reimburses the City, the funds could be transferred back to the general government fund and the general fund. Arterial Street Revenues currently forecasted in this fund include parking and gas taxes, real estate excise tax, impact fees, and grant revenue. It also includes the additional solid waste utility tax approved by Council in 2019. At the March 2, 2020 regular council meeting, Council authorized the use of this tax for 30% design for the 42nd Ave South Bridge Replacement project. It should be noted that a budgeted transfer of $1 million was eliminated during the first phase of budget reductions. Expenditures in this fund include wages and benefits for three FTE as well as a number of projects; many of which are funded solely by dedicated/restricted revenues and transfers in from the general fund. Also included are 2 projects that are almost entirely funded by grants. Without reducing and/or eliminating projects that are not funded by grant revenue, the fund will end the year with a deficit of over $1.3 million. In order to keep this fund solvent, staff is recommending the following changes- - Delay the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan and the Walk & Roll program until 2021. - Reduce funding for the following projects: overlay, bridge inspections, ADA improvements, traffic signal program, and wetland mitigation by a total of $865 thousand. General Government Improvements As part of the first phase of budget reductions, a transfer in of $200 thousand was eliminated. No other revenues are dedicated to this fund. Planned expenditures in this fund include $190-thousand for phases I and II of a facilities study that includes updated seismic assessments of several facilities, $30 thousand for the dry fire sprinkler system, as well as $100 thousand for other minor repair projects that could be needed this year. Because of the healthy beginning fund balance of $657 thousand, eliminating the transfer in does not create deficit fund balance at year-end. This fund is currently projected to end the year with a fund balance of over $386 thousand. Due to the current deficit in the residential street fund of $413 thousand, staff recommends transferring any excess funds 75 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 24 from this fund into the residential street fund, lessening the impact to the general fund. As mentioned in the discussion on the residential street fund, if Seattle City Light reimburses the City, the funds can be transferred back into this fund. New Information for April 28, 2020 Finance Committee Recap of Current Projected Revenue Gap As discussed in the first five pages of this memo, the City identified an initial revenue gap (March through May) of $6.1 million that has been filled with phase I reductions of $4 million and are working with departments to identify an additional $2.1 million to close the remaining gap. Departments are scrubbing their budgets and have already identified $2 million, leaving a gap of must $100 thousand. There will be an additional revenue gap that needs to be closed. Three scenarios were developed resulting in additional revenue losses ranging from $2.4 million up to $7.1 million. Details of each of the scenarios can be found on pages 9 — 16 of this memo. Additional revenue gap for each scenario is as follows. The amounts below are in addition to the initial $6.1 million revenue aao discussed above. Scenario 1 - $2.4 million + initial revenue gap $6.1 = total revenue gap $8.5 Scenario 2 - $4.3 million + initial revenue gap $6.1 = total revenue gap $10.5 Scenario 3 - $7.1 million + initial revenue gap $6.1 = total revenue gap $13.3 Given what we know today, Scenario 1 is most likely too optimistic. Based on economic indicators today, it is now believed, and is in line with what other area cities are projecting, that the actual revenue gap would be somewhere between Scenario 2 and Scenario 3, which would result in an additional revenue gap of around $6 million, for a total revenue gap in 2020 of $12 million. Additionally, economic indicators point to a continuing loss of revenue in 2021 as well. At this time, we are projecting a revenue loss of $6 million in 2021. Thus, the City will need to fill an additional gap of $6 million in 2020, for a total gap of $12 million with an ongoing budget shortfall of $6 million in 2021; meaning ongoing budget reductions. Decision Tree On one extreme, the City could utilize only contingency funds to fill the gap in 2020. Given the current contingency fund balance of $7.1 million (see page 19 for specifics on the contingency fund), this would leave $1.1 million to fill a small portion of the revenue gap in 2021. This is not a recommended option as it leaves no contingency available for a second or third wave of infections that could hit later in 2020 or in 2021 nor would it leave funds for any other emergency that could arise. The other extreme would be to reduce labor costs by $6 million to fill the remaining revenue gap and not utilize contingency funds. While this would result in ongoing savings, this would result in significant loss of staff and significantly reduce the ability to provide services to our communities. 76 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 25 Rather, staff is recommending a balanced approach of matching contingency funds to labor reductions using a 3 to 1 ratio. This approach ensures that we stay true to our values of Caring, Professional, and Responsive. We are in this together and all departments need to share in the responsibility of reducing costs. Decision Tree Tools A more refined decision tree will be presented at the next Finance Committee meeting with the intent of identifying tools such as the following to close the gap: - Voluntary retirements and separations - Involuntary furloughs - Voluntary furloughs - Layoffs - Voluntary pay reductions Required Services and Current Service Levels The City of Tukwila is a code city and operates under RCW 35A Optional Municipal Code. The Optional Municipal Code provides flexibility in the administration of municipal government and permits code cities to adjust procedures and programs to meet individual needs. The Code (RCW 35A) establishes the powers and responsibilities of councilmembers, the mayor, and city administrator. Other city officials have only powers as the city council vest in them. This results in an increase in administrative choices available to code cities. There are legal requirements regarding planning in the Growth Management Act and minimum staffing is necessary for development activities. There are relatively few mandates for code cities in the RCWs regarding minimum staffing and service levels except for police. Code cities are required to appoint a chief law enforcement officer pursuant to RCW 35A.12.020 and a city police department must be under the control and direction of the chief of police. However, neither the state constitution nor state law mandates a specific number of law enforcement officers or level of law enforcement services. Thus, staffing and service levels are policy decisions in the discretion of the City Council. If the City does not maintain their own police department, the County would be required to provide coverage. There are no specific statutes that require cities to provide fire protection services or parks and recreation services. However, as a practical matter, cities provide some measure of these services. Through long-standing Council policy, the City Council has set current service levels through policy decisions during the budget and budget amendment process. The current budaet reflects priorities set by City Council and manv of the oroarams included in the budget closely align with the City's adopted Strategic Goals. Attached to this memo is the list of all programs in the general fund. Each program went through an extensive scoring process that benchmarked every program against the City's 77 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 26 Strategic Goals and basic program attributes. Tier 1 and Tier 2 programs most closely align with the Strategic Goals. All programs that are legally mandated either at the federal or state level are identified with an *. Many of the programs that have been identified as legally required are because of services the City provides. For example, because we Drovide fire services and emDlov firefiahters. there are reauired traininas that all firefighters must complete on a regular basis. Professional Services Details on professional services for each department are detailed in the 2019 — 2020 Biennial Budget Document. During Phase II when departments were required to scrub their budgets, many budget categories were reduced, including professional services. It should be noted that some contracts in the professional services category cannot be reduced as they are legally required. For example, audit costs are captured in professional services and an annual audit is required per RCW. Details on professional services for each department in the aeneral fund can be found on the following Daaes: Department Page Number(s) City Council 89 Mayor's Office 103 - 113 Municipal Court 124 — 125 Parks & Recreation 138 — 160 Community Development 171 — 182 Police 194 — 210 Fire 222 — 235 Public Works 248 — 260 Administrative Services 271 — 273 Finance 284 TIS 296 In addition to details on professional services, the chart on the following page summarizes all expenditures by major category in the general fund.

Local governments need to make sure they have enough cash on hand for essential services. Thus, one of the first things local governments should do is slow the net flow of cash out the door and find ways to rebalance the budget. This could be done by reducing expenditures, delaying expenditures, or even finding new resources. There are many financial retrenchment techniques a government could use to get this done. However, a good retrenchment technique has the following characteristics: Short time -to -benefit. A positive yield occurs in a short period of time. Not complex. It is easy to understand the short-term r M Reduce Personnel Costs. This is the biggest areas of expense for most governments, so a serious retrenchment effort will have to address personnel costs. Reduce Capital Spending. Capital assets are often very costly, so even a modest reduction in spending could result in significant savings. benefits and long-term ramifications. It is also easy to explain to others. Reversible. It can be undone with reasonable effort. Since these retrenchment techniques are applied quickly and usually without much diagnosis ahead of time, they should be able to be reversed if needed. For example, a hiring freeze can be lifted. This paper presents a number of tried-and-true retrenchment techniques that can improve cash flow during difficult times and provide time and resources for governments to develop strategies to deal with the financial crisis. The techniques are divided into the following categories: Reduce Materials or Contractor Costs. Though not as significant as personnel or capital, many governments can find savings in existing contracts that may not be as painful to cut. Create More Advantageous Inflows and Outflows of Cash. These techniques won't balance your budget but can help better manage the incidence of expenditures and revenues J Get New Resources. Governments should also explore possibilities for new resources, even if those opportunities are limited. 2 92vernment Finance Officers Association INTRODUCTION Examine each technique to see if you can benefit from it. However, beware that many techniques have potential pitfalls. We have highlighted the most important pitfalls you should be aware of. This paper is part of GFOA's Fiscal First Aid: Recovering from Financial Distress program. The Fiscal First Aid program lays out a is -step process for recovering from financial distress. The techniques described in this paper fit in to the very first steps of the is -step recovery process. Therefore, the Fiscal First Aid process suggests a few points you should keep in mind while reading this paper. First, GFOA's Fiscal First Aid: Recovering from Financial Distress describes how you can form a team to help navigate a financial crisis. The team can help think through the best retrenchment strategies for your government, generate support for those strategies, communicate the right messages inside and outside the organization, and identify and mitigate the unintended consequences that are unavoidable when making sudden expenditure cuts. This is important because some techniques described in this paper will be more controversial than others. For example, some techniques will require changes in personnel practices, perhaps even reductions in compensation. You may need to start discussions with labor groups and others to successfully put these techniques in place. If you have a strong team with you, navigating these potentially treacherous waters will be considerably easier. You may also need to communicate what is happening to the press or other community influencers so that the public understands why potential changes to services may be necessary and see how strategies taken in the short term will make for a stronger and more financially sustainable organization in the long term. Second, Fiscal First Aid emphasizes the importance of leadership during the recovery process. A key element of leadership is treating people fairly. Research unequivocally shows that people react very poorly to being treated unfairly, perhaps even going so far as to sabotage or bring down the system that they feel treated them unfairly. Hence, the financial recovery team will need to think about how to apply the techniques in this paper as fairly as possible. A good place to start is by making a visible demonstration of the fact that the leadership is willing to endure the same austerity measures that other employees are being asked to endure. Fiscal First Aid emphasizes the importance of leadership during the recovery process, and a key element of leadership is treating people fairly. Cash is King I Fiscal First )98 3 TECHNIQUE 1 J Reduce Personnel Costs Personnel is the largest expenditure for most local governments, so limiting personnel expenditures will be a big opportunity to improve cash position. Short-term hiring freeze A short-term hiring freeze that lasts a few months or simply extends the time a position is vacant might provide some immediate financial relief. This kind of hiring freeze would not usually require formal proceedings such as governing board approval. A longer hiring freeze would require more careful analysis, including deciding what departments and functions are affected (e.g., will public safety positions be exempted?), calculating how overtime costs will be affected, and identifying potential risks to critical services. The leaders of the recovery process need to help everyone understand what exemptions there are to this policy and why (e.g., critical public safety functions). The leadership also needs to work with department managers to help them understand what will happen to the vacancy savings. To best support the financial recovery, savings should return to a centralized pool so they can be directed to where they are needed most. Potential Pitfall Q. Consider if the positions you are freezing are mission critical or if a lack of staffing could cause inefficiencies or lost revenue in excess of the cost of the position. For example, if positions are not filled otherwise normal events like an employee illness could create a critical gap in staffing. Eliminate vacant positions Positions that are not filled tie up budgetary resources that could be used for other needs. Assuming the position is not essential, eliminating vacant positions is a good way to reduce a local government's biggest expense (personnel) while avoiding layoffs of existing employees. An obvious example contemporary to the COVID-19 pandemic might be temporary summer recreation employees who would staff facilities or events that will now be unavailable. The recovery team could also look for less obvious possibilities by examining all vacant and, in particular, long-term vacant positions. Some departments use long-term vacancies for budget savings while others find it impossible to fill specialized positions. If it is not clear that a vacant position is safe to eliminate, it can be put on hold. As with savings from a hiring freeze, the recovery leadership should explain that all savings will return to a central budget. To ease the pain, the recovery leadership can promise to reconsider the eliminations after the situation has stabilized. Potential Pitfall Q Decide a fair and reasonable way to differentiate the essential from the unessential. You don't want to regret eliminating a position that turned out to be essential. Stretch professional development funds The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly limited or even eliminated travel for many local governments. However, even when travel becomes more feasible, training and travel will probably be one of the first things to be cut off during a retrenchment. Training sessions, though, are often where employees get new ideas on how to do their jobs better. Rather than cutting training completely, consider alternatives. For example, a cost -sharing arrangement with employees could reduce the budget for training without eliminating it and may lead employees to be more 4 94vernment Finance Officers Association REDUCE PERSONNEL COSTS selective about which training sessions they attend. You might also encourage more internet-based training, which will typically have a lower cost than in -person options. Memberships in professional associations are another form of development. Economize spending on membership in these groups by verifying that memberships are directly relevant to the duties of the employees involved and that the memberships are being actively used. You may also find that multiple employees have individual memberships for the same association when a collective membership is available. Professional development is often most highly valued by management and employees with highly technical jobs. The recovery leadership will need to make sure these employees understand the new policy and what avenues remain for professional development. Potential Pitfall Q By cutting off professional development, you might cut off a source of good ideas your organization needs to get through tough times. Be strategic in how you reduce professional development spending. Share personnel The COVID-19 situation will increase demand for service in some areas of local government and decrease demand in others. Also, employee illnesses may cause gaps in staffing. There maybe opportunities to share personnel across departments. Sharing personnel helps prevent layoffs by better distributing human resources to where they are most needed. There is often potential for sharing administrative support, for instance. You might also look to see where the organization is hiring contracted labor and see if in-house resources could be used instead (which might help prevent a layoff). For example, one small county found that many county employees (who were not employed in public safety) were working in volunteer firefighting and emergency medical service (EMS) capacities for the county on their off -time. The county found a way to temporarily reassign these employees to public safety to cover vacancies in fire and EMS. This allowed the county to retain necessary coverage levels for public safety services while avoiding layoffs in other departments. Shifting employees to help with emergency management tasks might be an opportune way to share personnel during the pandemic crisis. Potential Pitfalls Q Make sure personnel are qualified/trained to adequately assist in the area they are being shifted to. Q Some organized labor groups may oppose cross - training and/or job sharing. Make sure to bring organized labor into the discussion early if you'd like to pursue this technique. Reassess personnel equipment needs During times of higher revenues, personnel may have been assigned equipment that isn't completely essential to the job, and the government may now be willing to live with the lower level of service associated with eliminating that equipment, especially for nonessential functions. One small county reassessed the need for individual cell phones, uniforms, individual desktop printers, and take-home vehicles, saving almost $100,000 annually. This is also an opportunity to get creative. For example, one large city analyzed vehicle use by each department. The city instituted a car -sharing pool and took away underutilized vehicles. At the time, smaller departments in the city could not afford to maintain vehicles but were afraid to give up the vehicles they did have. The pool system gave all employees access to vehicles, while the fleet age has decreased and the city has saved money. Potential Pitfalls Q Many employees may view these pieces of equipment as "perks" that make their jobs easier. The recovery leadership must communicate clearly why this is being done. Q Some equipment might be mandated by labor agreements. Q This technique is an opportunity for the recovery leadership to lead by example by giving up nonessential equipment or special allowances. Failure to lead by example could hurt morale. Cash is King I Fiscal First )95 5 REDUCE PERSONNEL COSTS Allow voluntary part-time status Letting employees volunteer to move to part-time status is a relatively noncontroversial way to save money on salary costs (and fringe benefits that are based on salary). In fact, some employees might welcome the opportunity to move to part-time status. However, managers should think about repercussions such as the new part-time workers' continued eligibility for fringe benefits, impact on pension calculations, or any effects on scheduling. Despite the risks, this can be considered a safe technique because it can be easily reversed. In fact, managers might want to make it clear that part-time status is provisional, with a defined sunset date for the initiative, or that it may need to be rescinded in emergency circumstances. This will allow managers to assess the effects and rescind the decision, if necessary, without adversely affecting morale. Potential Pitfall Q Make sure organized labor is involved if a change in the status of position to part time impacts labor agreements, etc. Rethink staffing ratios Fixed staffing ratios can potentially transform personnel from a variable to a fixed cost. See if staffing ratios can be reconsidered to provide more flexibility in how staff resources are used. For example, one small county identified more than $1.5 million in potential savings from changing ratios for sheriff personnel per capita, teachers to students, and firefighters per truck. While this technique may not lead to immediate savings by itself, it does form the basis for important discussions about staffing levels that could lead to significant savings later. Potential Pitfalls Q Beware of perceptions that local government is decreasing public safety. Be sure that any discussion of staffing ratios focuses on how to get the best results for the community via a more efficient deployment of available personnel resources. Be sure to communicate proactively to the press and other community influencers about what is happening. Q Check if staffing ratios are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Make acceptable reductions in service levels You might be able to make reductions in service levels, especially for nonessential services. If decision -makers understand the depth of the financial challenge and that it may not be temporary, they are more likely to accept some reductions in services. Examples might include reducing hours open to the public or even eliminating some services that are recognized as "nice to have" but not essential. Potential Pitfalls Q The distinction between "nice to have" and "essential" is not always universally agreed upon. Hence, this retrenchment strategy could become more controversial than many of the others we have described. © Unlike the strategies described so far, this requires reductions in the compensation of existing employees to achieve meaningful savings. This could hurt morale, etc. Voluntary time off for employees During difficult economic times, voluntary time - off programs allow employees who no longer have available paid time off to be off work to tend to personal affairs while at the same time saving the jurisdiction money through salary and some benefit costs. This program could also be the precursor to a mandatory time -off program. Potential Pitfalls Q Essential work could suffer if the wrong employees take off too much time. Therefore, some limits must be set on who can participate and how much time they can take. Q Because the time off is voluntary, it will be hard to predict the amount of savings that will materialize. The recovery leadership must be willing to live with this uncertainty. Q If the voluntary program is seen by the leadership as a potential precursor to mandatory time off, be clear that this is the case. In other words, voluntary will be tried, but mandatory may need to be considered if insufficient savings develop. Q Make sure employees understand that voluntary time off is not compensated, which might impact benefits as well (e.g., pension benefits). 6 %vernment Finance Officers Association REDUCE PERSONNEL COSTS Mandatory time off for employees Otherwise known as an unpaid furlough program, a mandatory time -off program is one way to avoid layoffs while still generating considerable salary savings. A number of mandatory days off can be set to match the savings the local government needs to generate to keep its budget balanced. Rules governing time off will need to be established —how many employees can be out on a certain day, which employees need to be in to perform certain functions, etc. Employees need to know that this time off is not paid and is therefore not part of their paid time off. Also, the recovery leadership team should be clear about which projects or initiatives can be deferred in light of reduced work time. One large city even found that some employees enjoyed the mandatory time off as long as they weren't required to complete all the same job duties in the remaining work time. Potential Pitfalls A Unlike most strategies described so far, this requires mandatory reductions in the compensation of existing employees. This could hurt morale, etc. Q Such a program could require difficult concession bargaining with a labor organization or employee bargaining group. Look for opportunities to reduce employee benefit costs It may be possible to make changes to benefits that reduce personnel costs. As an example, moving to a cafeteria style of benefits, introducing co -pays on some benefits, or capping or eliminating some benefits maybe possible. Post -retirement benefits is another cost -saving opportunity. For example, one large city eliminated most post -retirement benefits for management staff, based on a fixed employment start date (i.e., tenured employees were grandfathered in). This did create some inequities in that someone who was originally hired one day before another employee kept their benefits while the other lost theirs. The move did produce ongoing and increasing savings. Potential Pitfalls A Changing benefits during a plan year may not be possible. A Unlike most strategies described so far, this requires mandatory reductions in the compensation of existing employees. This could hurt morale, etc. A Such a program could require difficult concession bargaining with a labor organization or employee bargaining group. A Grandfathering strategies could cause compensation inequities, which hurt the work environment. •♦ � A number of ,ir mandatory days off can be set to match the savings the local government needs to generate to keep its budget balanced. Cash is King I Fiscal First W 7 TECHNIQUE 2 0:6W Reduce Capital Spending It is common for local governments to defer or cancel capital spending during tough financial benefits. Look for real opportunities to trim purely times. However, it may not be possible or "nice -to -have" features. advisable to cancel all capital spending, as some spending is indispensable. That said, capital assets are high -cost items, so even a modest reduction in capital spending could be a significant amount of money. Reduce the scope of capital asset investments A common response to fiscal distress is to defer or eliminate capital project spending, but jurisdictions need to make sure they aren't hurting themselves in the long term. For instance, a jurisdiction might have to rely on obsolete and potentially unsafe assets if it fails to invest in new ones, or new assets might be needed to preserve the economic vitality of the community. Further, investment in new infrastructure, equipment, software, or other capital could improve efficiencies and reduce operating costs. However, it might be possible to make a quick and low - risk decision to simply scale back on the asset purchase by reducing the amount purchased or by foregoing premium features. One small county found that it could save $100,000 by reducing the scope of a project to upgrade its communication system. The county reduced the number of radio channels the system accommodated and the total number of radio towers by three (thereby accepting a lower level of coverage). The new communication system was still an improvement over the old one, but the county avoided the cost associated with premium features. Retaining the three radio towers would have improved radio coverage to 97% from 95%, but county officials decided it wasn't worth the added cost. Potential Pitfall Q Beware of a "penny-wise, pound-foolish" decision of cutting back features with significant long-term Defer certain capital asset purchases Some capital assets are safer to defer than others. Capital assets that provide a brand new service; have significant, ongoing operating and maintenance costs; and don't have a critical public health or safety function might be prime candidates for deferral. It may not be wise to defer assets that replace an existing asset, reduce ongoing costs, and/or serve a critical public safety or health function. The recovery leadership should examine the capital improvement plan to look for the best opportunities to defer. To make painful decisions easier to accept, the recovery leadership might point out that the government may have an opportunity in the future to issue debt at lower interest rates and ultimately build just as much, if not more, infrastructure than originally planned. Potential Pitfall IQ Deferring investments that reduce long-term costs will be counterproductive. Improve capital project management Improving capital project management and monitoring techniques can provide some near -term benefits. For example, it is not uncommon for the start of a project with approved budget authority to be delayed. Aggressive monitoring of these situations and cancellation of projects that aren't moving forward can free up funds for other uses. Project schedules may also be overly optimistic about how quickly a project will proceed, thereby routinely overestimating the rate at which project funding would be drawn upon. For example, this could result in premature allocations for pay-as-you-go financing projects, thereby tying up scarce funding needlessly. 8 98vernment Finance Officers Association TECHNIQUE 3 �$ Reduce Materials or Contractor Costs Materials and contractors are typically not as large a part of the budget as personnel or capital projects, but every bit counts in a financial crisis. Reexamine maintenance and replacement standards The organization's maintenance standards might have been established years ago when products were not as durable as they are today. For example, one small county identified the potential to save $200,000 per year by changing the standard for servicing buses from 30 to 45 days —a change that was acceptable because engines and buses are built much better now than they were when the standards were originally developed. In other cases, the organization might simply be willing to live with a lower standard of maintenance. The county government also found an opportunity to save more than $100,000 a year by reducing standards for internal mail delivery, grounds maintenance, painting, and custodial services. The county also identified $350,000 in one-time savings that could be achieved by accepting higher mileage and years of service on ambulances and fire trucks before they have to be replaced. To use this technique effectively, the recovery leadership must identify real opportunities for savings like those previously described. Just pushing legitimately pressing needs into the future may only increase long-term costs, ultimately making full recovery longer and more difficult. Potential Pitfall Q Make sure you understand the long-term increases in cost and risk that you may incur by reducing maintenance or replacement standards. For example, if an asset is maintained to a lower standard, it might be more likely to experience a critical failure sooner. Reduce paper costs Not only could reducing the use of paper eliminate costs, but it could also help governments adapt better to conditions where personal contact is limited, remote work is more prevalent, etc. Using electronic documents can reduce printing and material costs in several ways. For example, one small city purchased about $7,000 worth of Wads for its city council and expects to save more than $30,000 on printing costs as a result. Simply posting reports on the internet instead of printing them could also save money. A small county plans to save 10% on its printing costs this way. You can also stop buying paper products such as calendars and day planners that are replicated in office productivity software such as Microsoft Outlook. Modern office productivity software packages have graphic capabilities that reduce or eliminate the need for preprinted stationery and letterhead. Another option is to remove desktop printers to discourage printing and provide paperless options as a substitute. There are many other possibilities to eliminate paper in the year 2020, like electronic signatures, fillable forms in Adobe Acrobat, and more. OFOA has best practices for electronic payments, electronic signatures, and encourages using features available in modern financial systems to cut back on unnecessary processing of paper. Potential Pitfall Q Though there may be concern that paperless processes are more vulnerable to cybercrime and those concerns are legitimate, remember that paper -based processes are also vulnerable to fraud and perhaps even more vulnerable to internal fraud than their paperless counterparts. Make a clear-eyed assessment of the risks involved and proceed accordingly. Cash is King I Fiscal First )99 9 REDUCE MATERIALS OR CONTRACTOR COSTS Save energy Energy efficiencies are a great way to save money, especially for facilities that may now be underutilized. This could include changing turn- off schedules and initiating tighter temperature controls for buildings. This applies to vehicles too, like keeping fleet tires properly inflated and better managing routes and fuel. Eliminate low- or no -value tasks Quality guru W. Edward Deming taught that most business processes contain up to 95% waste. A financial challenge may provide impetus to eliminate tasks that provide little or no value to the customer but have remained in place regardless. Give managers permission to identify and eliminate this kind of work. One small county identified such tasks. Eliminating some of them generated substantial savings. For example, the county found that it was placing notices of public hearings, job openings, and other advertisements in multiple area newspapers. This was an expensive and unnecessary approach (state law requires advertising in only one paper). Consolidating ads resulted in project savings of $20,000 a year. In the assessor's office, tax assessors would traditionally visit properties to reassess them (a time-consuming task). The assessor's office identified the potential for $150,000 in annual savings by eliminating the visit and, instead, using satellite photos to conduct routine reassessments. The assessor uses the photos to verify that nothing has changed from what was expected at the property. Many such opportunities doubtlessly exist in your government. A classic opportunity for finance offices is eliminating reports that people don't read. Stop producing reports you suspect people aren't reading. If no one notices, that report may not be valuable. Potential Pitfalls Q Be careful to consider organization -wide impacts of eliminating tasks. What might be a no -value task to one department might have a lot of value to another. Q The mantra of "we've always done it that way" can be an impediment to changing work processes. However, we are in extraordinary times, and extraordinary times can shake people out of old habits. Q For a variety of reasons, it will be difficult to reduce personnel costs through the elimination of low- and no -value tasks, especially in the short term. As our examples above implied, most times savings will come on materials and contracts or in giving staff more time to spend on more time to address higher -value work. Therefore, be careful not to overestimate the available cash savings from eliminating low- or no -value work. Review software maintenance contracts Many local governments own software licenses to hundreds of different products, many of which require annual maintenance and support costs —entitling the government to help desk support and new versions of the software. However, for many governments, upgrading to a new version during a fiscal crisis is not a viable option. Also, for a product nearing the end of its life, a complete replacement would be more likely than an upgrade. In either case, the government can stop paying maintenance and support, or it can hire a third party that supports the system at a lower price and continue to use the licensed software. Additionally, for products that are well established or do not support critical functions, having the availability of support/ upgrade resources may not be necessary or worth the cost. In addition, with annual price escalation, many governments are surprised to learn that the annual cost of maintenance has grown substantially since the software was first purchased and, in some cases, might even be more expensive than the license cost to purchase new software. 101 ()OVernment Finance Officers Association REDUCE MATERIALS OR CONTRACTOR COSTS Potential Pitfalls Q Ending maintenance and support will start the government on the path to software replacement. Many vendors do not allow a government to start maintenance and support again without paying penalties. Q This approach only works if the government owns a perpetual license to the software and annual fees are not required to maintain that license. Rethink subsidies Your jurisdiction might have given subsidies to internal programs, outside agencies, or constituencies that could be reviewed for continued relevance and affordability. For example, tax exemptions may reduce revenue yields while only benefiting a narrow segment of the community. Local government may also have institutionalized financial support for good ideas that came from advocacy groups or elected officials who are no longer in office, but these programs may be ancillary to providing essential core services. While reducing these subsidies right away might be politically challenging, you can begin by cataloging subsidies as a starting point for discussion of their continued feasibility. Also, consider if it is viable to transform certain tax/ Quality g u r u t fee exemptions into an equivalent grant. Though W. Edward this will be cost neutral on its own, the equivalent grant can make the subsidization more explicit and Deming taught lead to valuable questioning if it is an appropriate that most use of public money. business processes contain up to 95 % waste. Cash is King I Fiscal First jo 111 TECHNIQUE 4 Create More Advantageous $ Inflows and Outflows of Cash Delay payments to vendors The recovery leadership team can work with The payment terms a vendor sets usually stipulate the maximum length of time the government has to make a payment. Though delaying payment to the maximum allowable length won't reduce costs, it may help achieve a more favorable balance between cash inflows and outflows. Potential Pitfalls ZTS If a vendor offers early payment discounts, you may give up more than you gain by delaying payment. Delaying payments to a vendor may cause a strain in the relationship between a vendor and government. For vendors providing essential services, or for vendors that the county may be relying on due to limited suppliers in the market, the government may not want to risk ruining its relationship. In difficult times, vendors are often in a similar situation. Delaying payment may cause hardship with the vendor in terms of their ability to meet obligations to employees or suppliers. Look for areas of consistent surplus in prior budgets Look for budget line items that have consistently been underspent in prior years. It could be that excess resources have been allocated in this year's budget that could be used for more pressing needs. For example, one large county found that the county clerk's election budget had large surpluses three out of every four years. It turned out that the clerk was budgeting the full cost of a presidential election every year as a placeholder for when the actual election occurred. This technique won't reduce costs, but the local government will not need to wait until the end of the year to realize the surplus. departments to examine budget versus actual spending over the last three to five years to look for areas of consistent underspending. It is important to note that, in many cases, this overbudgeting is a method of risk management for departments: the excess budget can be used for unexpected costs. However, this cushion can add up across all departments. If the leadership team can provide assurances that a centralized pool of money will provide a safety net, then departments may be more willing to "pool" their risk and, thereby, generate substantial savings. Potential Pitfall Q The department that set the budget might have had legitimate reasons for its initial budget estimate. The recovery leadership should find a way to satisfy that concern while also solving the misallocation of resources. For example, the county found another way to give the clerk confidence that the cost of a presidential election would be covered when the time came. 'lllj� Look for budget line items that have consistently been underspent in prior years. 121 ()Zernment Finance Officers Association PTECHNIQUE 5 Get New Resources Increase interfund charges where there is a case for it Interfund charges can sometimes become outdated. There may be obvious and widely agreed -upon opportunities to update these charges to help the funds that are experiencing distress. This is a technique where the public manager must exercise discretion. A clear and compelling case for updating or adding a charge exists in some cases. In others, the matter may require further study and discussion, lest the charge degenerate into cross -fund subsidization. Potential Pitfalls Q Interfund charges could devolve into cross -fund subsidization if not rigorously justified. Q Make sure higher interfund charges don't create new problems in other funds. This strategy only makes sense if the fund that will pay more can afford to do so. Reassess internal service fund and cost allocation formulas Internal cost allocations charge frontline programs for services provided by support programs. The revenue from these charges are often accounted for in an internal service fund. Fleet, information technology, and workers' compensation are often managed in this way, for example. Check to make sure these charges have not become excessive. For example, if an internal service fund has a very large fund balance, it could be that charge rates are high. If the internal service charge rates have gotten high, consider reducing or deferring charges, at least on an interim basis. Potential Pitfall Q If rates are reduced too much, the internal service fund will suffer, thus creating new problems for your government. Redesignate general fund reserves You may have designated some portion of your general fund for special projects or other purposes that are not as important now. For example, perhaps some reserves have been set aside for special projects and the need for those projects is now less compelling. Local jurisdictions might consider reassessing these designations and redesignating those funds to help bridge the financial gap and balance the budget. Potential Pitfalls Q Redesignating general fund reserves is a one-time strategy and is not sustainable. Q The projects that the reserves were intended to fund will be deferred. Consider monetizing assets Government may have valuable assets that can be transformed into ongoing revenue streams. For example, some local governments have explored the potential of underutilized real estate owned by the local government. In some cases, the property might be located in commercially attractive areas but being used for government activities that could be performed on less valuable property (e.g., some kinds of offices, storage, etc.). That said, there are some assets that could be monetized but where careful deliberation and study is important, lest the government make an unwise and irreversible decision. Monetizing these assets could still be part of the recovery strategy but should not be seen as an immediate retrenchment technique. Potential Pitfalls Q Beware of selling unused property into a soft market. Consider if a temporary lease to a private party could bring in some revenue in the short term, without losing an asset that may be more valuable in the longterm. Cash is King I Fiscal FirstT0313 GET NEW RESOURCES Q Don't rush into monetizing public assets where the valuation is complex and the government, as the seller, finds itself in a buyer's market. Implement new or revised fees where appropriate Over time, the government might have come to provide many services that, while small and seemingly innocuous on their own, add up to real money. It may be appropriate to start charging a fee for these services, especially if the beneficiary of the service is distinguishable. For instance, one small county identified the potential for $50,000 in new revenue for its animal control service by starting a licensing tag program for cats. The county found that it was spending just as much, if not more, on animal control for cats, thereby justifying the fee. Again, public managers will need to use discretion to determine where a fee can be implemented right away and where more study will be required or where a new fee simply may not be appropriate. For example, some fees might be counterproductive to the goals of public service. For instance, fees for using emergency medical services are often controversial because the /F%SCAL po �? R`rA � 90 0"FRY PRa/ service is not elective and is assessed when people are at their most vulnerable. Many local governments have reduced or discontinued fees and fines associated with justice services, recognizing that the fees often entail excessive collection costs and significantly impede people's ability to effectively interact with the justice and courts system. In addition, all governments must be aware that maintaining public trust is vital. By adding fees that are not viewed as appropriate, the government can appear greedy or opportunistic during a time when the rest of the economy and community are suffering. The best opportunity for this strategy in a financial crisis might be to make sure full cost is being charged for elective services. For example, building permit services benefit the property holder almost exclusively, and there is little reason for the rest of the community to subsidize it. Pitfall to Avoid Q Fees that are regarded as unfair, unwarranted, or have unintended consequences might actually hurt the local government and community well- being in the long run.
