INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
CC: Mayor McLeod
FROM: Aaron BeMiller, Finance Director
BY: Tony Cullerton, Deputy Finance Director
CC: Mayor McLeod
DATE: October 27, 2025
SUBJECT: 2025 Biennium Budget Amendment Ordinance
ISSUE
Approval of Administrative Budget Amendments.
BACKGROUND
A budget amendment is necessary only when a fund as a whole risks exceeding its
approved allocation. Budget amendments provide organizations the opportunity to
incorporate best practices, adjust to substantial changes in financial plans or policy
decisions, and enhance transparency for key decisions. The proposed amendments will
make the following adjustments to the General Fund for the current biennium:
• Transfer from General Fund to Sewer Fund for early repayment of interfund loan.
Budget impact of $947,112.
• Transfer from Land Acquisition Fund to General Government Improvements Fund for
TCC HVAC costs. Budget impact of $405,000.
• Transfer funds from the Urban Renewal Fund to the General Fund with the intent of
closing the Facilities Replacement Fund. Budget impact of $947,112.
• An increase to the Insurance — LEOFF 1 fund to cover additional miscellaneous
LEOFF retiree expenditures. Budget impact of $100,000.
• Authorization to add a limited term position to HR to extend through 2026. Budget
impact of $0.
DISCUSSION
On November 21, 2022, the City authorized an interfund loan from the Sewer fund (402) for
the purchase of a fire apparatus. The interfund loan was scheduled for repayment in 2026.
However, the City is in a position to pay the interfund loan off in 2025. This resulted in
approximately $30k savings in interest expense.
The Tukwila Community Center incurred unexpected necessary repairs to the HVAC unit.
A transfer from the Land Acquisition Fund to the General Government Improvement Fund
was necessary to absorb the costs to repair the HVAC unit and equipment.
27
In 2024 through the 2025-2026 budget process the City was authorized to close the Urban
Renewal (302) fund. There are unassigned funds associated with that Fund that will be
transferred to the General Fund prior to closing. The amount planned for transfer is
$947,112.
An increase in the amount of $100,000 is needed for the LEOFF 1 Self Insurance Plan Fund.
This increase is necessary due to unbudgeted miscellaneous health care costs attributed to
the retirees' covered by this insurance fund.
Human Resource identified a need for a limited term position to assist with a variety of HR
functions. It was determined that the cost of this role would be absorbed by the department.
This position was approved by city leadership. This amendment item has zero financial
impact to the budget and solely seeks Council authorization.
The total year-end budget amendment is $2,399,224.
