PRETTY PROJECT CALLED TARGET

IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. ELIZABETH

THEY DID THREE BENEFIT FILM TV

FOR THE GENERAL CORRIDOR. THEY

HAD DENTAL COMMERCIAL AND THEN

THE OUTSKIRTS OF INDUSTRIAL

WHAT'S REALLY KIND OF WORK LIKE

THAT THEY FELT THERE AND THEN

THE HIGH LEVEL OF WHAT I THINK

MIGHT LOOK LIKE A PER BENEFIT

ZONE BUT THAT BECAME A MAKE IT

NOT SQUARE FOOT AND THEN THE

KIND OF LIKE THAT IT COMES FROM

THE CONTENT OKAY THAT I, I

COULD GET INTO THEM AND TAKE

SOME PROPAGANDA IN THE

UNIVERSITY DISTRICT THEY PICK

UPON THEMSELVES THEY START

LOOKING AT WHAT IT MIGHT BE TO

EXPAND THE EXISTING FOOTPRINT

OF THE BIG END TOWARDS DOWNTOWN

.SO THEY FELT LIKE THEY HAVE

COMMITTED TO IT PERIOD BY THE

BOARD THAT SORT OF MEETING IN

2025 WITH I THINK SOME STUFF I

THINK I THEN DIDN'T THINK

ANYTHING I THOUGHT THAT

ANYTHING THAT KIND OF HELP THEM

FIGURE OUT WHAT IS POSSIBLE IF

LIKE A LITTLE FEEDBACK IF THEY

EXPAND WHILE MEETING THE

PHYSICALLY EXISTING SO THEY

SAID PRETTY WITH I THE MAIN

DRIVER FOR OUTREACH AND BEGAN

THEY SAID HE COULD SEE HOW HOW

THEY ARE ESTABLISHED AND

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT A TOXIC

THEY FELT LIKE I CAN AND SO

MAKING SURE THAT THEY COULD BE

INCLUDED AND CAN YOU EXPAND

THINGS I WAS VERY HELPFUL IN

REGARD TO KNOWING WHAT TYPE OF

ASSESSMENT ACTUALLY COME IN FOR

THE NEXT CALENDAR YEAR. AND SO

THE SUBCOMMITTEE CONDUCTED

OUTREACH. THEY COULD PROBABLY

THAT THAT LIMIT EXPAND THEN

UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY LIMITED TO

SUBCOMMITTEE THEY DID MAKE SURE

THAT THEY WERE WELL BELOW THAT

10% EXPANSION. SO ETHAN TEAM IN

BIENNIUM BUDGET ON TODAY'S DATE

AND 2820 SIX AS SET BY COUNCIL

FOR OPR 2026 DASH 0815 ON TEN

1426 THANK YOU TIME AND PLACE

STAFF REPORT PLEASE

I

DIDN'T MEAN THE PRESIDENT

COUNCIL AND ALL MEMBERS THE

PUBLIC HERE TONIGHT MY NAME IS

[name] OF A BUDGET ANALYST WITH

THE CITY AND I'M HERE TONIGHT

TO PRESENT THE REVENUE GAIN FOR

THE 2728 BIENNIUM BUDGET SO

THIS IS AN ANNUAL HEARING HELD

ONCE A YEAR BEFORE THE PROPOSED

BUDGET IS RELEASED. I'M

REQUIRED BY ICW TO COVER

UPCOMING BUDGET REVENUE SOURCES

AND MOST NOTABLY PROPERTY TAXES

PUTS NINTH AGENDA ALL

DISCUSSION OF YOU GENERAL FUND

EXPENDITURES AND FUNDING

SOURCES CITIES LARGEST TAX

REVENUES A DEEP DIVE INTO

PROPERTY TAXES HOW THEY WORK

EXAMPLE FOR THE PROPERTY TAX

BILL WHERE THOSE DOLLARS GO

ETC. THE PROPOSED 2027 PROPERTY

TAX LEVY AND THEN WE'LL FOLLOW

UP WITH PUBLIC COMMENT AT THE

END. FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE

UNFAMILIAR WITH THE GENERAL

FUND MAYBE ASKING THEMSELVES

WHAT IS THE PAY FOR WHAT IS IT

COMPRISED OF? SIMPLY PUT THE

GENERAL FUND COMPRISES THE DAY

TO DAY SERVICES AND OPERATIONS

OF GOVERNMENT SO THE $597

MILLION BUDGETED IN THE GENERAL

FUND FOR EXPENSES IN 27 AND 20

855 PERCENT OR ABOUT 6 MILLION

IS PLANNED FOR PUBLIC SAFETY

FOLLOWED BY CULTURE AND

RECREATION THINK LIBRARY PARKS

SPOKANE ARTS INFRASTRUCTURE AND

PUBLIC WORKS LEGAL AND JUDICIAL

SERVICES LEADERSHIP AND

ADMINISTRATION FOR COUNCIL

MAYOR'S OFFICE FINANCE AND

ACCOUNTING. HUMAN RESOURCES.

CIVIL SERVICE AND OTHER VARIOUS

CONTRACTUAL SERVICES. SO HOW IS

IT FUNDED? WHERE DOES THE MONEY

COME FROM TO SUPPORT THOSE

EXPENDITURES FOR THE GENERAL

FUND RECEIVES MONEY FROM FOR

MAIN CATEGORIES THREE OF WHICH

ARE TAXES INCLUDING PROPERTY

SALES AND UTILITY BROKEN DOWN

BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE

EFFECTIVELY ACCOUNT FOR 70 8%

OF GENERAL FUND REVENUE BETWEEN

7 AND 28 AND THAT INCLUDES THE

NEW ZERO POINT 1% PUBLIC SAFETY

SALES TAX THAT GOES INTO EFFECT

IN JANUARY 27TH AND IT'S

EXPECTED TO GENERATE 13 POINT

$3 MILLION OVER THE NEXT TWO

YEARS. THE LAST REVENUE

CATEGORY FOR ALL OF THE INCLUDE

THE LONG LIST OF SMALLER

REVENUE SOURCES INCLUDING FEES

AND LICENSES PERMITS, INTEREST

INCOME TO NAME A FEW. SO LOOK

AT THE MAIN TAX SOURCES FOR

2021 THROUGH 2028. YOU CAN NOTE

THE GROWTH TREND EACH IN THE

CHART HERE AS WELL AS THE 2027

BUDGET FOR EACH TAX THE

PROPERTY TAXES ARE MOST STABLE

AND PREDICTABLE. OF THE THREE

AND ITS GROWTH IS LIMITED BY

LAW. FACTORS AFFECTING INCLUDE

NEW CONSTRUCTION LEVY LIMITS

AND VOTER APPROVED MEASURES

BILL TAXES ARE AFFECTED BY THE

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT THINGS

LIKE INFLATION AND INTEREST

RATES AND CONSUMER CONFIDENCE

MAKE IT A FAIRLY VOLATILE

REVENUE SOURCE AND UTILITY.

IT'S OUTCOME TWO SUBJECTED TO

THE UTILITY RATE ENVIRONMENT

AND WILL VARY DEPENDING ON

WHETHER USAGE. SO NEXT WE'LL

TURN TO PROPERTY TAXES

INCLUDING HOW THEY WORK AND

WHAT TO EXPECT FOR 2010. SO TO

UNDERSTAND PROPERTY TAX IT'S

IMPORTANT TO NOTE THREE MAIN

ITEMS LEVY AMOUNT. SO WHAT THE

CITY OR TAXING DISTRICT IS

AUTHORIZED TO COLLECT ASSESSED

VALUES THOSE SET BY THE COUNTY

ASSESSOR'S OFFICE AND LEVY RATE

FOR EACH TAXING DISTRICT

INCLUDE VARIOUS LEVY TYPES AND

LEVY WAGE THE CITY BEING ONE OF

THOSE TAXING DISTRICTS HAS

THREE LEVY TYPE LABOR LEVY

WHICH INCLUDES GENERAL FUND

OPERATIONS AND LIFTS THE STREET

LIBRARY PARKS AND PUBLIC SAFETY

AS WELL AS THE EMERGENCY

MEDICAL SERVICES LEVY IN THE

VOTER APPROVED BOND LEVY IS FOR

PARKS AND LIBRARY PROJECT SO

BECAUSE THE RATE FOR OTHER

TAXING DISTRICTS ARE UNKNOWN AT

THIS TIME FOR 2027 YOU CAN

PROVIDE SOME CONTEXT WITH THE

BREAKDOWN OF A BILL IN 2026

USING AN EXAMPLE OF A MEDIAN

HOME VALUE OF 110,000 WITHIN

THE CITY, A HOMEOWNER CAN

EXPECT TO PAY 4150 $9 FOR THE

YEAR, ONE THIRD OF WHICH ABOUT

1003 HUNDRED $68 GOES TO THE

CITY AND FROM THE CHART YOU CAN

NOTE THE OTHER ALLOCATIONS FOR

OTHER TAXING DISTRICTS. SO

PUSHING FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

STATE OF WASHINGTON AND THE

COUNTY NO. WHERE DOES THAT

MONEY GO ONCE THE CITY RECEIVES

IT? SO IN 2017 THE COUNTY DID

DOLLARS ABOUT 60 2% GOES TO THE

GENERAL FUND FOLLOWED BY LED

LIVES THE STREET PARKS PUBLIC

SAFETY LIBRARY A SMALL

DIVERSION FOR FIRE PENSION

CONTRIBUTIONS AS WELL AS TAX

INCREMENT FINANCING AND LOCAL

REVITALIZATION PLAN FROM

DISTRICT AND THEN FOLLOWED BY

EMT AND THEN VOTER APPROVED

BONDS

D

20 27 PROPERTY TAX LEVY. THE

MAIN POINT THEY CALL ATTENTION

TO IS THE REGULAR LEVY INCREASE

TO 1.25% THE LAST YEAR VOTED TO

PUT THE PARKS LEVY AND IT

INCLUDES A MULTI-YEAR LIFT

THROUGH 2031 A 3% PER YEAR AND

THAT 3% APPLIES TO THE FULL

REGULAR LEVY PER THE

RESOLUTION. BUT THE CITY HAD

CHOSEN TO APPLY IT ONLY TO

PARKS NOT FULL LEVY. SO THE

1.35% IS A BLENDED RATE AND

THEN EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES

CAPPED AT 50 CENTS PER $1,000

OF THE FIFTH VALUE IT'S

STRICTLY LIMITED TO 1% GROWTH

ON EXISTING PROPERTIES. SO IF

ASSET VALUES ARE GROWING AT A

RATE OF LESS THAN 1%, THE 50%

WE MAY HOLD. SO USING OUR

MEDIAN HOME VALUE EXAMPLE FOR

27 AND WE CAN COMPARE THE

IMPACT VERSUS 2026 SO FOR THE

CITY'S PORTION THE TOTAL AMOUNT

IS ESTIMATED TO BE 1003 HUNDRED

AND $93 WHICH IS THE $2 AND

$0.07 PER MONTH INCREASE FROM

26 TO ABOUT $25 A YEAR 20 $5

YEAR OVER YEAR INCREASE FROM 26

.SO JUMPING INTO SALES UTILITY

TAX FOR 2720 EIGHT RETAIL TAXES

.SO 2016 SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH

COMPARED TO THE PRIOR YEAR AND

OVERALL 2026 IS UP ABOUT 30 3%

FROM 2019. HOWEVER, INFLATION

HAS ALSO GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY

DURING THAT TIME WE'VE INCLUDED

INFLATION ADJUSTED GROWTH TREND

.THE GREEN LINE IS TO SHOW

THAT THE SIGNIFICANT GROWTH BUT

BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER PRICES

AND WHATNOT IT'S YET TO COUNT

FOR INFLATION. SO IT'S NOT

QUITE AS YOU KNOW SIGNIFICANT

AND THEN MAIN POINT TO CALL UP

THE UTILITY TAXES ARE THEY ARE

TO REMAIN AT 21.5% THROUGH 2020

EIGHT AND FOR THE NEXT YEAR FOR

THE PROPOSED BUDGET WILL BE

RELEASED ON NOVEMBER 2ND THIS

MONDAY AND THE PROPERTY TAX

ORDINANCE VOTED ON THE FOURTH

THEN THEY'LL BE A SEE THE

BUDGET YEAR IN FRONT OF BUDGET

ADOPTION ON DECEMBER 9TH AND

FEEL FREE TO COMMENT TO THE

PUBLIC HERE TODAY FOR ANY

WRITTEN COMMENTS. THE BUDGET AT

SPOKANE CITY DOT ORG AND PLEASE

NOTE THE BUDGET FOR THIS

PROPOSED BUDGET BOOK WILL BE

AVAILABLE ON THE CITY'S WEB

PAGE THAT'LL INCLUDE ALL THE

LARGER PIECES OF THE BUDGET AND

MUCH MORE DETAILED AND YOU CAN

GO THROUGH THEM IN CORDOVA AND

THAT'S ALL I GOT THANK FOR THE

COMMENT AND

[public comment omitted]

KEEP THE HEARING OPEN AND CLOSE

THE MEETING ON THE FLOOR WE

HAVE ANOTHER HEARING YOU KNOW

IT'S NOT SO SPEAKING OF MAKING

SOMETHING THAT COULD LEAD TO

THE MOTION JUST REALLY QUICKLY

JUST BECAUSE THERE IS NO ITEM

THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE UP

THAT'S NEXT WEEK. SO I JUST

WANT TO SAY THERE ARE OTHER

TAXES AS WELL THAT ARE NOT

PRESENTED. YOU HAVE AN

EXTENSION OF THE UTILITY TAXES

THAT HAD BEEN FUNDED IS ON THE

DOCKET SOMETHING THAT WE'LL BE

CONSIDERING IN ADDITION TO THE

1.25 INCREASE ON THE PROPERTY

TAX. AND SO I JUST WANT FOLKS

TO HAVE A BROAD UNDERSTANDING

OF THE REVENUE SIDE OF THIS. WE

DID JUST ADOPT THE ONE 10TH OF

1% COUNCIL MATIC TAX AND SO

THAT'S ALSO BEEN IMPOSED THIS

YEAR. SO THERE'S NUMEROUS TAXES

THAT ARE POTENTIALLY GOING TO

BE AFFECTING YOU IF YOU HAVE

ANY INTEREST IN INCOME,

ANYTHING ON THE ACTUAL PROPERTY

TAX INCREASE ITSELF NEXT WEEK

IS THE HEARING ON THAT. WE ONLY

HAVE A TWO DAY DELTA BETWEEN

WHEN THE BUDGET COMES OUT AND

WHEN THAT HEARING IS SO THERE'S

NOT A LOT OF TIME TO TRULY

UNDERSTAND WHETHER THAT'S EVEN

NECESSARY OR NOT WHICH IS

UNFORTUNATE BUT THAT'S JUST HOW

THIS WHOLE THING IS SET UP. AND

THEN LASTLY I WOULD JUST SAY

I'M GOING TO VOTE AGAINST

CLOSING THE HEARING BECAUSE WE

ONLY ADDED A HEARING JUST

YESTERDAY WHICH I DIDN'T THINK

WE SHOULD DO ON SUCH SHORT

NOTICE. SO I'LL LEAVE IT THERE.

YOU GET [name] ON THE FLOOR,

KEEP KICKING THE THING IF I GET

IT YOU MAKE IT IN A SECOND

HEARING AND YOU AND AND I THINK

I. I I I YOU KNOW. NO, NO, YOU

KNOW THE BEGINNING OF NOW PAY

BIG MIKEY HE GOT THE PROPERTY

TAX REVENUE NO WE'RE NOT GOING

TO GET ANYTHING WE'RE DONE WITH

ALL RIGHT YOU'LL TAKE ALL RIGHT

WE WILL COMPLETE AUTHORITY THE

RATE OF ITEM LIKE I HAVE THAT

GRAND

MADAM PRESIDENT. COUNCIL MEMBER

THANK YOU. AND HERE JUST TO

HIGHLIGHT WHAT I FOUND IS AN

INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE

PROPOSED BUILDING PERMIT FEE IN

THE MATERIAL THAT WAS PUT ON MY

THE THE NEW FEE SCHEDULE PAGE

FIVE IT AMENDING AND ADDING NEW

LANGUAGE WHICH READ APPLICATION

FEE INCOME IT MUST BE SUBMITTED

FOR DETERMINATION QUICKLY WITH

PERMITS THAT HAVE HAVE EXPIRED

AND THEN BELOW THAT IT CROSSES

OUT THE WORD RENEWAL. THE

MATERIAL SAYS THAT IT'S

AMENDING THE CODE THAT YEAR ARE

TWO BUT THE WORD RENEWAL DOES

NOT APPEAR IN CONNECTION OH TWO

IT ACTUALLY APPEARS IN CODE BUT

70 010030 FOUR PARAGRAPH E

WHICH THEN REFERENCES CODE

SECTION EIGHT O TWO AND THAT

LANGUAGE THAT IS ADDED BEING

ADDED IN IS AN EXTENSION OF AN

ALREADY THOUGHTFUL CODE

PROVISION IN SECTION 80 THE

PARAGRAPH YOU WHICH TALKS ABOUT

BUILDING PERMITS AND WHEN A NEW

APPLICATION MIGHT BE REQUIRED

AND UNDER YOU ONE A IS IT LISTS

A B, C AND B HAVE THE FOUR

ITEMS ONLY A IS REQUIRED FOR A

NEW APPLICATION. SO WHAT THE

CODE PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENT IN

THE FEE SCHEDULE IS A FEE

POTENTIALLY GOING TO DO IS

CREATE AN EQUAL 60 BETWEEN 70

8O2 IN THE FEE SCHEDULE BY

ADOPTING THAT NEW LANGUAGE AT

THE END OF THAT FEE SCHEDULE IT

IS ALL LISTED ON THE BUILDING

PERMIT FEE IS NO ADDED NO CODE

SECTION HIGHLIGHTED THAT FEE

ADDED AND THEN THE WORD RENEWAL

IS BEING REMOVED. I JUST WANTED

TO BRING THAT TO THE COUNCIL'S

ATTENTION. THANK YOU VERY

EVEN A REQUIREMENT IN HERE THAT

WE BE TOLD SOMETHING THAT

SIGNIFICANT I JUST DO NOT THINK

THIS BODY SAY SO CERTAINLY

WITHOUT THIS BODY OF KNOWLEDGE.

FURTHERMORE, IT ALSO GIVES THE

INCREASES THE COST BY TEN

PERCENT ABOVE WHAT WAS

RECOMMENDING THAT COUNCIL

UNDERSTAND THE ORDINANCE A

LITTLE BIT MORE FROM THE ISSUES

THROWN INTO IT. NO TEETH ABOUT

PUNISHING THE OWNERS AND SO THE

AMENDMENT ADDRESSES SOME OF

THAT AND EXCITED THE COURT
