[3:23] We are open to the public.
[3:24] Thank you. Let
[3:24] s ensure that
[3:30] Mike has gone live. Stand by.
[3:31] Okay. We
[3:34] re live. Thank you.
[3:36] To order the City Council
[3:39] meeting of AUGUST 5th, 2026. As
[3:39] you can see, tonight
[3:40] s council
[3:42] meeting is being held virtually
[3:44] due to critical maintenance and
[3:45] upgrades underway in council
[3:47] chambers. During the meeting,
[3:50] we MAY take brief breaks as
[3:52] needed to address any technical
[3:53] issues and help ensure the
[3:55] meeting proceeds as smoothly as
[3:58] possible, and council. Thank
[3:59] you so much. Please give me a
[4:01] little grace as we start out.
[4:03] As I get the lay of the
[4:04] landscape here, I
[4:04] m very
[4:06] appreciative to former Mayor
[4:08] Sweet having done this for
[4:09] quite a long time, but we
[4:09] ll
[4:11] get through it. So, City Clerk,
[4:13] will you please call the roll.
[4:15] Councilmember Tim Chisholm
[4:17] here? Council Member Arnold
[4:21] here. Councilmember Prem here.
[4:24] Councilmember Falcone here.
[4:25] Councilmember Pascal.
[4:26] Here.
[4:29] Deputy mayor black. Here. Mayor
[4:30] Curtis.
[4:33] Here. All right. Our study
[4:34] session tonight is on two
[4:35] items. First, we
[4:36] ll have an
[4:39] update on the 2027 2028 utility
[4:41] rates. Second, we will have an
[4:42] update on the Kirkland Care
[4:43] s
[4:46] low income support program. We
[4:48] expect to reconvene our regular
[4:51] meeting at 730. Uh, city
[4:52] manager.
[4:53] Okay. Thank you, MADAM Mayor.
[4:55] So we have the whole 90 minutes
[4:56] of the study session set out
[4:58] for these two topics. Related
[4:59] topics? Um, I
[5:00] ve asked everyone
[5:02] to keep their cameras off
[5:02] unless they
[5:03] re speaking. Um, I
[5:04] wanted to give a huge thanks to
[5:06] folks at Public Works and
[5:07] Finance to put together a lot
[5:08] of really complicated
[5:10] information. And also our
[5:11] consultant team here. You
[5:11] re
[5:12] going to hear from who has done
[5:14] a fabulous job, but it
[5:14] s all
[5:15] going to be led by Jenny
[5:16] Garrison. Our surface water
[5:18] strategic advisor. And she has
[5:20] lots of help who people will
[5:22] check in when needed. And Tracy
[5:23] Dunlap is also here at deputy
[5:25] city manager to chime in as
[5:26] needed, where she is in the
[5:28] Tri-Cities. So with that, I
[5:28] ll
[5:30] turn it over to Jenny.
[5:32] Great. Thank you very much.
[5:34] Good evening, MADAM Mayor. And
[5:36] members of the council. Uh,
[5:36] again, I
[5:37] m Jenny Gauss, surface
[5:38] water strategic advisor, and
[5:39] I
[5:40] m managing the utility rate
[5:44] process for 2027, 2028. And
[5:45] Brook is kindly running the
[5:48] slides for me for now. Uh, next
[5:52] slide. Um, we have a very
[5:54] knowledgeable group of people,
[5:55] uh, all of whom have helped to
[5:57] develop the budget assumptions
[5:58] and the models that are going
[6:00] to be used to update Kirkland
[6:00] s
[6:02] utility rates. Uh, the fcs team
[6:04] and myself will be the main
[6:05] presenters. But we do have many
[6:07] other folks standing by. Um, as
[6:11] questions arise. Next slide.
[6:13] And before we launch into sort
[6:14] of the meat of the
[6:15] presentation, I wanted to just
[6:17] highlight some of the process
[6:18] improvements that have happened
[6:19] since the last rate setting
[6:21] process. Um, we
[6:23] re doing more
[6:24] forecasting of revenues. Uh,
[6:25] staff is reviewing and
[6:27] reporting on revenue trends
[6:28] each month so that we have the
[6:30] most up to date information.
[6:32] Uh, water and sewer utilities
[6:34] have been split apart so that
[6:36] we could better see how each is
[6:39] faring financially. Uh, the
[6:41] utility policy supervisor is
[6:44] now, um, allocated to water,
[6:47] sewer and solid waste. And then
[6:48] we are really working on
[6:50] prioritizing water and sewer
[6:52] engineering and planning. And
[6:53] so those things are really
[6:54] going to help with the
[6:56] transparency and accountability
[7:00] in the process. Next slide. And
[7:03] so, uh, tonight is the first of
[7:04] three meetings where we
[7:04] re
[7:06] going to discuss utility rates
[7:07] updates. Uh, we
[7:08] ll be returning
[7:09] on SEPTEMBER 15th with our
[7:11] proposed rates. And again on
[7:13] OCTOBER 20th with our final
[7:15] rates. Um, tonight we have our
[7:17] consultant team here to provide
[7:18] background on the rate models
[7:21] and to present the preliminary
[7:23] rates. Um, these are rates that
[7:25] meet our current fiscal
[7:26] policies. Um, we
[7:27] re also going
[7:29] to be discussing potential ways
[7:30] to moderate these rate
[7:31] increases. Um, and we
[7:32] ll see
[7:33] council guidance on the
[7:35] preferred rate scenario. Uh, a
[7:36] note that I have some slides
[7:38] available. Um, after Brooke
[7:38] s
[7:40] presentation, if there are
[7:41] questions, I have a set of
[7:43] slides that is available for us
[7:45] to use. Um, now I
[7:46] ll introduce,
[7:50] um, fcs team. Um, Brooke, Tasha
[7:52] is a project manager with scs,
[7:53] a Bowman company. She
[7:54] s been
[7:56] with fcs for over ten years and
[7:57] has performed similar rate
[7:59] studies for many cities in the
[8:01] Pacific Northwest. And we
[8:01] re
[8:02] very pleased to have her
[8:03] managing the rate modeling
[8:05] efforts for Kirkland. Um, with
[8:07] her tonight is Amanda Levine,
[8:08] who is managing the solid waste
[8:11] elements of the process and
[8:12] likewise has performed many
[8:14] utility rate studies and
[8:15] engagements over her eight
[8:17] years with fcs. Um, together
[8:17] they
[8:18] ll walk us through the
[8:20] preliminary preliminary rate
[8:22] study results. So take it away,
[8:25] Brooke. Thank you.
[8:27] Perfect. All right. Uh, so
[8:28] thank you. Jenny. As mentioned,
[8:28] I
[8:30] m Brooke. Tasha with fcs, and
[8:32] I do have Amanda Levine with
[8:34] me, as well as John Carducci.
[8:34] Um, and we
[8:35] re ready to just
[8:36] walk through those preliminary
[8:37] rates for the city
[8:38] s forecast,
[8:40] as well as revenue requirements
[8:40] as what we
[8:41] ll refer to those as
[8:42] through the bulk of this
[8:46] presentation. So a quick agenda
[8:47] here. To start, we
[8:47] re going to
[8:49] review a brief background.
[8:49] We
[8:50] re going to talk more about
[8:52] what a revenue requirement is.
[8:52] We
[8:53] ll review the city
[8:54] s fiscal
[8:55] policies and then we
[8:55] ll talk
[8:56] through the revenue requirement
[8:59] results for each utility before
[9:00] wrapping it up with next steps
[9:04] and questions or discussion. So
[9:06] here again just a brief
[9:07] background for each of the
[9:08] utilities that we
[9:08] re going to
[9:10] discuss this evening. First the
[9:12] water utility and the
[9:13] infrastructure associated with
[9:15] the water utility is operated
[9:17] and maintained by the city. The
[9:18] city purchases their water
[9:20] supply through Cascade Water
[9:22] Alliance. Similarly for the
[9:24] wastewater utility, the city
[9:25] operates and maintains the
[9:27] collection system and uses that
[9:29] system to send wastewater to
[9:30] King County
[9:31] s treatment plants
[9:32] who they pay for treatment
[9:35] services. On the surface water
[9:36] side, the city operates and
[9:38] maintains the surface water
[9:39] system, working to reduce
[9:41] street flooding and address the
[9:43] health of local water bodies.
[9:44] Surface water is unique in that
[9:45] it gets billed through the
[9:46] county
[9:47] s property taxes, so
[9:48] most customers don
[9:49] t see the
[9:51] bill as directly. And then
[9:53] finally, the city also provides
[9:55] garbage, recycling and compost
[9:57] curbside collection services
[9:59] through waste Management, which
[10:01] is also a contractor, and they
[10:02] pay disposal costs to King
[10:04] County for disposal service as
[10:08] well. So for tonight
[10:09] s review,
[10:09] we
[10:10] re going to be concentrating
[10:12] on the revenue requirement for
[10:13] each utility. When we talk
[10:15] about a revenue requirement,
[10:16] our goal is to determine the
[10:18] overall amount of revenue
[10:20] needed to satisfy all of the
[10:21] fiscal obligations of each
[10:25] utility on a standalone basis.
[10:27] Our fiscal obligations include
[10:29] our direct expenses. So those
[10:30] are things like our operating
[10:32] and maintenance costs. Any
[10:34] existing debt service payments
[10:36] and any new debt service
[10:37] payments or rate funded capital
[10:38] that
[10:39] s needed to fund the
[10:41] capital program. Those
[10:43] financial obligations also
[10:45] include indirect expenses.
[10:45] Those are things like
[10:47] maintaining our reserve
[10:49] balances, as well as debt
[10:50] service coverage ratios. If
[10:51] we
[10:52] re a utility that has a
[10:53] large amount of debt, the city
[10:56] of Kirkland is not within their
[10:59] utilities. Currently. Um, for
[11:00] this exercise, we compare a
[11:02] forecast of those obligations
[11:04] to our revenues at their
[11:06] existing levels. First, to
[11:07] determine whether those
[11:08] revenues are sufficient over
[11:11] the forecast period. And if we
[11:12] see a forecasted deficiency
[11:14] throughout that study period,
[11:16] we can develop a rate plan to
[11:17] help satisfy that deficiency,
[11:19] while ideally trying to
[11:21] minimize impacts to customers
[11:23] to the extent possible. And
[11:23] that
[11:24] s going to be our main
[11:26] concentration tonight. Revenue
[11:27] requirements for each utility
[11:29] over a multiyear period. Or in
[11:31] other words, how much do we
[11:32] need to potentially raise our
[11:36] rates over that time frame? So
[11:38] before we dive into the
[11:39] results, we want to set the
[11:41] stage first with a review of
[11:41] the city
[11:43] s financial policies.
[11:45] Uh, these policies provide some
[11:46] guardrails for the study to
[11:48] help encourage consistent
[11:50] decision making. Over time,
[11:51] especially when we have
[11:53] documented fiscal policies like
[11:55] the city does. Those allow for
[11:56] consistency, even as staff and
[11:59] leadership changes. So first
[12:00] here we have our working
[12:02] capital contingency, which is
[12:03] in place to allow the utility
[12:04] to weather those day to day
[12:06] cash flow fluctuations. The
[12:09] target is 45 days of o&m for
[12:11] water and sewer. It
[12:12] s 100 days
[12:14] of o&m for stormwater and 30
[12:17] days for solid waste. We do see
[12:18] a higher target for stormwater
[12:19] here because it
[12:19] s billed
[12:21] through those property taxes
[12:22] again, and has two larger
[12:24] influx of revenues rather than
[12:25] more of a steady monthly
[12:28] stream. Uh, the water and sewer
[12:29] utilities also have another
[12:31] operating contingency layer.
[12:32] It
[12:33] s for a similar purpose to
[12:34] help weather those cash flow
[12:36] fluctuations. This results in
[12:39] an additional 12% of o&m held
[12:42] as a reserve target. Together,
[12:42] that
[12:45] s just about 90 days. The
[12:47] water, sewer and surface water
[12:49] utilities also have capital
[12:51] contingency targets to provide
[12:53] a source of funding for
[12:55] emergency repairs or capital
[12:57] cost overruns. Um, in each
[12:59] case, that target is about 10%
[13:02] of the six year cip program.
[13:04] And then finally, the water,
[13:05] sewer and surface water
[13:07] utilities also aim to fund a
[13:09] dedicated amount of capital
[13:11] investment directly from rates.
[13:12] To treat that infrastructure
[13:14] investment like a true cost of
[13:16] operating those utilities.
[13:19] Water will seek to fund 125% of
[13:21] annual depreciation costs
[13:23] through rates. Sewer will aim
[13:25] to fund 165% of depreciation
[13:26] costs, and surface water will
[13:28] seek to fund 100% of
[13:30] depreciation. This invest the
[13:32] system. The investment policy
[13:33] really helps to ensure that
[13:33] we
[13:34] re replacing system
[13:35] infrastructure as we
[13:35] re using
[13:37] it. Solid waste doesn
[13:38] t have
[13:39] those added capital contingency
[13:40] or system reinvestment
[13:42] components, since the utilities
[13:43] largely contractual costs
[13:44] rather than that direct
[13:48] infrastructure investment.
[13:49] Yeah. Go ahead. I see a
[13:51] question for a hand raised.
[13:53] By Henry. Just wanted to make a
[13:54] comment to the council that
[13:55] there
[13:56] s a lot of information is
[13:56] going to be presented. But
[13:58] please, if you have a question
[14:00] during the presentation, please
[14:02] feel free to raise your hand
[14:02] and ask it as we
[14:04] re going.
[14:08] I see another one. Okay.
[14:09] Um, thank you, Curt, and thank
[14:12] you, Brooke. Um, uh, I
[14:14] wondering if you could talk a
[14:17] little bit about why sewer and
[14:18] water have different
[14:19] depreciation numbers? Because
[14:20] it seems like that
[14:22] infrastructure would be similar
[14:26] to me. Um, and, uh, if we don
[14:27] have that information, it would
[14:29] be something that I would like
[14:30] some follow up offline. Thank
[14:32] you.
[14:34] Looks like Tracy will weigh on,
[14:36] weigh in on that first. Perhaps.
[14:44] Thank you. Sorry. My
[14:44] connection
[14:46] s okay. A really
[14:49] quick answer is that, um, the
[14:51] sewer utility assets were put
[14:52] in place over a much longer
[14:54] period of time. The water
[14:55] utility assets were put in
[14:57] place over a much longer period
[15:00] of time. Sewer only became a
[15:04] required, um, service. Really?
[15:06] In sort of the 60s, the 50s and
[15:09] 60s, where the water utility
[15:10] was built all the way back, you
[15:11] know, starting at the turn of
[15:13] the century. And so, so the
[15:15] sewer assets are actually more
[15:17] concentrated in terms of when
[15:20] they reach their age. And the
[15:21] other thing I just wanted to
[15:24] say quickly about this minimum
[15:25] amount of investment is this is
[15:27] just trying to recognize that
[15:29] the replacements are going to
[15:31] ebb and flow over time. They
[15:31] ll
[15:32] be bigger in some years,
[15:34] smaller in others. But this is
[15:36] a minimum amount to at least
[15:38] recognize an expected failure
[15:41] rate with the actual projects
[15:44] prioritized as part of the
[15:45] system plan, the actual
[15:47] replacements. But it really has
[15:49] to do with the fact that the
[15:51] sewer assets were added in a
[15:52] much more concentrated time
[15:56] period before that. At best, it
[15:58] was going into septic systems.
[16:00] Before that, it was just going
[16:03] where it went. Um, naturally.
[16:08] Thank you. Tracy.
[16:09] Go ahead. Brooke.
[16:12] Perfect. Thank you. Okay, so
[16:12] we
[16:13] re going to move on now to
[16:15] our first set of revenue
[16:16] requirement results. And
[16:18] concentrating here on the water
[16:21] utility in order to build the
[16:23] financial forecast, we have to
[16:25] include a few assumptions.
[16:25] First, we
[16:26] ll concentrate on the
[16:29] 2026 to 2032 time frame as that
[16:32] results study period with 2027
[16:34] to 2028 as the identified rate.
[16:36] Setting time frame for the
[16:38] water utility, the combined
[16:41] reserve target is $7.2 million
[16:43] in 2027, and that includes both
[16:44] the operating and working
[16:46] capital reserves as well as the
[16:49] capital contingency for rate
[16:50] revenue projections. We did
[16:52] work with the city to look
[16:54] historical, look back
[16:55] historically at revenue
[16:57] performance and the associated
[16:59] heat and precipitation data to
[17:00] try to ensure that we
[17:00] re
[17:01] forecasting revenues on a
[17:04] normalized usage. Year 2025 was
[17:06] a more normalized usage year,
[17:08] and our 26 budgeted revenue is
[17:09] in alignment with growth
[17:11] assumptions plus actual
[17:13] performance forecasting. Future
[17:16] revenues assumes a 0.9% growth
[17:18] rate on average, and it also
[17:19] assumes that the Kirkland Cares
[17:22] program participation increases
[17:24] by 10% per year as more
[17:27] customers join that program. On
[17:28] the expense side of things, the
[17:29] city
[17:31] s 2026 to 2028 budgets
[17:32] provide the baseline for
[17:35] expense forecasting, increasing
[17:36] into the future with
[17:38] inflationary assumptions. Cost
[17:40] inflation varies by expense
[17:44] type between 2.5 to 5.5% for
[17:46] many of the internal expenses.
[17:48] Total cost increase by about
[17:50] 5.7 on average, which is really
[17:53] driven largely by those Cascade
[17:55] Water Alliance increases that
[17:57] range from 4.9 to 12.8%,
[17:59] depending on the year. Um,
[18:01] Cascade Water Alliance makes up
[18:03] about 38% of overall water
[18:06] utility costs in 2026. That
[18:07] share is projected to increase
[18:10] to 43% by 2032, as their
[18:11] increases outpace those
[18:14] internal city costs, and then
[18:15] finally, here we are
[18:17] anticipating that the water
[18:18] utility will need a new bond to
[18:20] help fund the capital program
[18:21] and are forecasting that debt
[18:23] to be a revenue bond with a 20
[18:25] year term, a 5% interest rate
[18:28] and a 1% issuance cost, the
[18:29] total capital plan for the
[18:32] water utility is $42 million
[18:36] over the next six years. So
[18:38] here, just taking a closer look
[18:40] at the yeah, sorry.
[18:41] Before you go on a question on
[18:42] the previous slide.
[18:44] Sure. Um.
[18:46] So when you talk about customer
[18:47] growth and this is my question
[18:50] is on all utilities, is the
[18:53] point 9% per year, is that, uh,
[18:55] an industry standard? And my
[18:57] question really is, is that
[19:00] anticipated growth based on our
[19:03] comprehensive plan and our cpp,
[19:05] or is that just a general
[19:06] growth number?
[19:07] So it
[19:07] s certainly it
[19:07] s not
[19:09] necessarily industry standard,
[19:09] and it
[19:10] s much more tailored to
[19:12] the city of Kirkland. And staff
[19:14] did take a look recently on
[19:15] number of new connections as
[19:17] well as some near-term history
[19:19] on that. Um, typically we don
[19:21] always align from a rate
[19:22] setting perspective with
[19:24] comprehensive plans, because
[19:26] those can typically be a little
[19:27] bit more robust in their growth
[19:29] assumptions, because engineers
[19:30] have a different reason for
[19:32] looking at growth, they want to
[19:33] be a little bit more robust.
[19:33] They don
[19:34] t want to dig up the
[19:36] street more than once to give
[19:37] an example there. So when we
[19:37] re
[19:38] working through growth on the
[19:40] rate setting side of things, we
[19:41] like to look at some near-term
[19:43] actuals. Sometimes we
[19:43] ll look
[19:45] at some connection charge
[19:46] revenues to give us a good idea
[19:47] of the number of connections
[19:48] we
[19:49] ve been seeing over the last
[19:50] year or two, and try to base it
[19:51] more on that.
[19:51] That
[19:53] s helpful. That just it
[19:53] it
[19:55] s a based on Kirkland, not a.
[19:57] Absolutely. Yeah.
[20:01] Thank you.
[20:03] Um, so here just taking a
[20:04] closer look at the water
[20:06] utility components. We have
[20:09] $17.2 million in rate revenue
[20:10] growing to about 18 million
[20:11] with that customer growth
[20:14] element by 2032. Those revenues
[20:16] are in support of o&m expenses
[20:19] that range from 15.2 million to
[20:21] 20.8 million. With inflation,
[20:23] annual system reinvestment
[20:25] targets increasing from 2.3
[20:28] million to 3.1 million.
[20:29] Existing debt service is just
[20:31] over 100,000 annually for the
[20:32] utility, and I believe that
[20:34] will be fully repaid by 2033.
[20:37] And then we are assuming some
[20:38] future debt service totaling
[20:41] about 1.1 million once the
[20:44] $12.5 million revenue bond is
[20:45] issued to help fund the city
[20:47] South Reserve replacement
[20:51] project in 2026 and 27, the
[20:52] total 42 million in capital
[20:55] costs is funded by a mix of
[21:00] direct rate funding at 51%, 30%
[21:02] from the $12.5 million revenue
[21:04] bond. Cfc revenues make up
[21:07] about 19% percent, and we just
[21:07] have a small amount of
[21:09] developer contributions. About
[21:11] 200,000 to round out that
[21:16] capital funding pie. There. So
[21:19] in this, uh, graph here, we
[21:19] re
[21:20] going to pull together all of
[21:22] the direct obligations of the
[21:24] water utility in the bars. The
[21:26] dark blue are the internal o&m
[21:28] expenses. The light blue bar
[21:30] represents our Cascade Water
[21:32] Alliance expenses. Navy blue
[21:34] are the Cascade Water lines
[21:36] membership dues. And then we
[21:38] see the green bar as our direct
[21:40] rate funded capital with the
[21:41] yellow bar first appearing in
[21:43] 2027 as the additional debt
[21:46] service. If we compare those
[21:47] forecasted costs to our
[21:49] revenues at existing rates, we
[21:49] see that we
[21:50] re just meeting
[21:53] obligations in 2026, maybe a
[21:54] slight sufficiency there.
[21:55] However, as we
[21:56] re moving into
[21:58] 27 and beyond, we would become
[21:59] deficient to fund our rate
[22:02] funded capital in 2027, and we
[22:03] would not be sufficient to
[22:05] cover our new debt service by
[22:08] 2029. And eventually our water
[22:09] purchase costs as we continue
[22:11] through the study period. So in
[22:12] order to satisfy that
[22:14] deficiency, we
[22:15] re looking at an
[22:18] 8.5% rate increase in 2027,
[22:22] followed by 6.5% from 2028 to
[22:24] 2030, dropping to about 5.15%
[22:27] through 2032. Uh, this rate
[22:28] strategy results in a single
[22:30] family bill impact of
[22:33] approximately $4.81 in 2027,
[22:37] and just under $4 in 2028. Uh,
[22:39] this somewhat front loaded rate
[22:41] strategy would allow the water
[22:42] utility to satisfy the
[22:44] operating and capital
[22:45] contingency targets. In all
[22:51] years of this study period.
[22:52] Which is shown in this craft
[22:54] here. So with the proposed
[22:56] strategy in place, we would
[22:57] meet our target beginning in
[23:00] 2027. On the operating side and
[23:01] stay at that target through
[23:04] 2032 on the Capital Reserve
[23:06] side. Our use of debt and the
[23:08] continued commitment to fund
[23:10] our system reinvestment target
[23:13] allows the reserves to build in
[23:14] preparation for some of those
[23:16] unknown capital infrastructure
[23:17] needs that are going to be
[23:18] coming from the soon to be
[23:20] completed water system plan.
[23:22] Uh, the orange line on these
[23:23] graphs graphs is shown to
[23:24] illustrate the effects of the
[23:26] fund balance. If we were to
[23:27] hold our rates at their
[23:29] existing levels. So as we saw
[23:30] in the revenue requirement
[23:32] graph, that would result in
[23:34] forecasted deficiencies that
[23:35] would ultimately deplete
[23:37] reserves on both the operating
[23:39] and eventually the capital side.
[23:42] Let
[23:44] s pause for a second and
[23:45] see if anybody has any
[23:51] questions.
[23:54] If not, a quick water drink.
[23:56] Exactly. Okay, there we go.
[24:00] Councilmember Prem. Yeah, I
[24:02] wanted to actually, um,
[24:03] apologize. I should have asked
[24:05] this question earlier, but the
[24:06] I think it was two slides ago
[24:09] where you talk about the, um,
[24:10] the maintenance and the. Yeah,
[24:14] this one here, the o&m is, um,
[24:16] can you just maybe because it
[24:16] looks like that
[24:18] s one of the,
[24:20] you know, it is the largest
[24:22] expense that we have. So, uh,
[24:24] can you just walk us through
[24:26] very briefly, like, what is
[24:29] like, is that an increase? Uh,
[24:31] in these types of expenses as
[24:32] compared to prior years and
[24:34] kind of what is the primary
[24:36] driver? You.
[24:37] So when. Yeah, when we look at
[24:39] this particular o&m expense
[24:41] line going from 15.2 to 20.8
[24:43] million, this is both a
[24:44] combination of the city
[24:45] internal budget. So that
[24:47] their, you know, personnel,
[24:49] their benefits, their all of
[24:50] the services that they provide
[24:52] internally. It also includes
[24:54] the Cascade Water Alliance
[24:56] components. So on the internal
[24:56] side, I
[24:57] m going to flip back
[24:58] here for just a second so we
[24:59] can talk about the expense
[25:02] inflation internally salaries,
[25:04] benefits, all of those expenses
[25:06] that the city is in charge of
[25:08] or can control are increasing
[25:11] by between the 2.5 to 5.5%. And
[25:11] we
[25:12] ll typically see the higher
[25:14] increases related to things
[25:15] like benefit costs, because
[25:15] that
[25:16] s what we
[25:17] ve seen in the
[25:19] industry. Uh, just in in real,
[25:21] real terms, real increases
[25:23] there. Um, what we see as a
[25:24] bigger driver, though, really,
[25:26] is those the Cascade Water
[25:28] Alliance increases and they
[25:31] become a larger proportional
[25:33] share over this time frame and
[25:35] are driving up those o&m costs
[25:39] closer to that 6% over time.
[25:40] Um, so it is a combination of
[25:45] internal and external. Yeah.
[25:50] Anyone else? Okay. Go ahead.
[25:52] All right.
[25:53] Um, so this as we move into our
[25:55] discussion here for the sewer
[25:55] utility, we
[25:56] re going to see a
[25:57] similar layout to these slides
[25:59] and materials, um, with similar
[26:00] topics that we
[26:00] ll talk about
[26:04] for each. Uh, so similar time
[26:05] frame for each utility. We
[26:05] re
[26:07] going to concentrate on 2026 to
[26:10] 2032 study period. With the 27
[26:12] to 28 concentration for rate
[26:14] setting, um, for this sewer
[26:16] utility, the combined operating
[26:18] capital reserve targets total
[26:20] just under $8 million in 2027.
[26:22] And similarly for revenue
[26:25] forecasting purposes. Oh, do we
[26:27] have a hand or is that an.
[26:29] I think that was a residual
[26:33] hand. Sorry, Councilmember.
[26:36] Okay, perfect. Thank you. Uh,
[26:38] for for revenue forecasting
[26:40] purposes again here we did base
[26:43] the 2026 forecast off of 25
[26:45] actuals plus growth. And again,
[26:46] 25 being a more normalized
[26:48] historical year there. And here
[26:48] we
[26:50] re assuming average system
[26:53] growth of about 0.7% annually.
[26:55] Um, just like water, we assumed
[26:56] that the Kirkland Cares
[26:57] participation would also
[26:59] increase by 10% per year as
[27:00] more customers took advantage
[27:03] of that program on the expense
[27:04] side of things, again, we
[27:05] re
[27:05] utilizing the city
[27:07] s 2026 to
[27:08] 2028 budget as the baseline and
[27:10] added adding inflation to those
[27:12] future years. Those internal
[27:15] costs will inflate by between
[27:17] two and a half to 5.5%, really,
[27:18] depending on, again, that
[27:21] expense type. Overall, o&m is
[27:24] increasing by 10.7% annually.
[27:25] And again, this is really
[27:27] driven by external factors
[27:28] related to King County
[27:30] treatment rate increases that
[27:33] range from 11.25 to 12.75%
[27:36] annually. Um, like we saw on
[27:38] water, King County is becoming
[27:39] a larger share of utility
[27:41] expenses over time, starting at
[27:44] 44% of total costs in 2026,
[27:47] projected to increase to 56% of
[27:48] total sewer utility costs by
[27:52] 2032. Uh, no new debt is
[27:53] forecast to fund the total
[27:55] capital program of about $31.1
[27:57] million in escalated project
[27:59] costs on the sewer utility side.
[28:03] So again, here, we
[28:04] re going to
[28:05] take a closer look at the key
[28:07] components for sewer. We show
[28:08] existing revenue of 20.9
[28:10] million, growing to 30.8
[28:12] million by 2032. Again just
[28:14] with that growth assumption.
[28:16] Those revenues are in support
[28:18] of o&m expenses of 18.1 million
[28:21] and 26, increasing to 33.3
[28:23] million. And again, this is one
[28:23] of those areas that
[28:24] s largely
[28:26] driven by those external King
[28:29] County treatment expenses, um,
[28:31] system reinvestment for sewer.
[28:33] It starts at 3.9 million in
[28:34] 2026, increasing to 4.8 by
[28:37] 2032, and pretty similar with
[28:39] water. Existing debt service is
[28:41] just over $100,000 annually.
[28:43] And for the sewer utility, we
[28:43] don
[28:45] t have any new future debt
[28:46] service to fund the capital
[28:48] plan, and that total of about
[28:50] 31.1 million in capital
[28:51] projects is planned to be
[28:53] funded through direct rate
[28:55] funded capital of about 82% and
[28:58] about 18% from CFCs. We have
[28:59] just about $100,000 planned
[29:01] from developer contributions
[29:02] there, so the bulk is really
[29:08] great and cfc funded. Okay, so
[29:10] bringing together the the
[29:11] direct obligations for the
[29:13] sewer utility here, the bars
[29:14] are representing those
[29:15] obligations, with the dark blue
[29:18] bar being our internal city o&m
[29:20] expenses. The light blue, our
[29:21] King County wastewater
[29:23] treatment charges followed by
[29:24] state funded capital in the
[29:27] green bar. So what we see here
[29:29] when we compare our forecasted
[29:30] obligations to our revenues at
[29:32] existing rates, is that we
[29:32] re
[29:34] forecasting a deficiency in
[29:37] 2026, in order to fund our full
[29:38] rate funded system reinvestment
[29:42] target of 165% of depreciation,
[29:43] we will need to utilize
[29:46] operating reserves, moving
[29:48] forward without any rate
[29:49] action, which is noted by that
[29:51] solid black bar in the graph.
[29:52] We
[29:53] d be deficient to fund our
[29:55] rate funded system reinvestment
[29:57] fully by 2028, and we wouldn
[29:58] be able to fund our King County
[30:00] treatment charges by the 2029
[30:02] or 2030 time frame, at least in
[30:05] full. Uh, so in order to
[30:08] correct the deficiency in 2027,
[30:09] while maintaining our rate
[30:11] funded system reinvestment at
[30:14] the 165% of depreciation, as
[30:15] well as maintaining the
[30:17] operating reserve at a minimum
[30:19] of 2 million, the sewer utility
[30:22] is looking at a 19.5% increase
[30:25] in 2027, followed by about
[30:28] 8.95% annually thereafter. The
[30:30] typical single family customer
[30:33] would see an increase of $16.25
[30:34] a month from this change in
[30:37] 2027, followed by a monthly
[30:39] increase of about $13.37 in
[30:42] 2028. It should be noted here
[30:43] that a single family sewer
[30:44] customer will see the King
[30:45] County portion of their bill
[30:48] directly passed through, which
[30:49] is a large rate driver,
[30:55] especially in 2028 and beyond.
[30:56] Right. Let
[30:58] s hang on. I
[30:58] ll let
[30:59] you have one more.
[31:00] Go ahead. I was going to wrap
[31:01] it up real quick and then I
[31:01] ll
[31:03] pause. But here just taking a
[31:04] look at the operating and the
[31:06] capital reserves for the sewer
[31:09] utility. We are starting 2026
[31:10] below target on the operating
[31:12] fund. The rate strategy that
[31:12] we
[31:13] re proposing does not
[31:15] immediately correct the fund
[31:17] balance deficiency and instead
[31:19] slowly grows the reserve back
[31:21] to target through 2032. The
[31:23] upfront rate increase proposed
[31:25] would keep the reserve above $2
[31:27] million in 2027, and correct
[31:29] the initial cash flow
[31:31] deficiency, while still funding
[31:32] rate funded. System
[31:33] reinvestment at those target
[31:35] levels. On the capital side, we
[31:38] see balances ending 2026 at
[31:40] just above $10 million. That
[31:41] reserve would grow with
[31:43] continued rate funding ending
[31:46] 2032. About 15.5 million.
[31:46] That
[31:47] s similar to water again
[31:49] with upcoming system plan
[31:50] needs, it can be prudent to to
[31:52] maintain those reserve balances
[31:53] in preparation for some of
[31:57] those unknown costs. Happy to
[31:59] pause.
[32:06] Thank you. Brooke. Council. Any
[32:15] questions? Okay. We
[32:15] ll go
[32:16] ahead.
[32:18] All right. All right. So next
[32:18] we
[32:19] re going to review
[32:20] preliminary surface water
[32:22] outcomes. And again very
[32:24] similar layout. We
[32:24] re going to
[32:27] show you results through 2032
[32:28] with the rate setting period
[32:31] concentrating on 27 and 2028.
[32:33] The 100 day o&m target plus the
[32:36] 10% of the cip, results in a $6
[32:37] million combined reserve target
[32:40] in 2027 for surface water. And
[32:42] here we typically again see
[32:44] more steady revenues. But we
[32:45] reviewed the forecast with that
[32:47] same thought process for
[32:48] forecasting our revenues. So
[32:50] determining whether our 2026
[32:51] budget was in alignment with a
[32:53] forecast of 25 actuals plus
[32:56] growth and an associated rate
[32:59] increase, stormwater utility
[33:00] growth average is about a half
[33:03] a percent annually, and it also
[33:04] represents a senior discount
[33:06] participant participation rate,
[33:08] growing at about 10% annually,
[33:10] which is administered by the
[33:13] county for expense forecasting,
[33:14] will rely again on the city
[33:16] 2026 to 2028 budgets, plus
[33:18] inflation. Inflation varies
[33:20] here for for sface water
[33:23] between the 2.5 to 5.5%,
[33:24] depending on the type of
[33:26] expense and then overall
[33:27] operating expenses are
[33:29] increasing just under 3% in the
[33:31] forecast because there really
[33:32] are no external cost drivers
[33:34] for the surface water utility
[33:37] to be perhaps pushing that up.
[33:39] We are also not forecasting any
[33:40] new debtor the surface water
[33:42] ility at this point to help
[33:45] fund that $31.7 million capital
[33:50] plan through 2032. So looking
[33:52] at the key components here for
[33:53] surface water, we hav about
[33:55] $14 million in existing rate
[33:56] revenues growing to $14.2
[33:59] million with customer growth.
[34:00] That is in suppo of o&m
[34:02] expees that range from 12.8
[34:05] miion to 15.2 million. System
[34:07] Reinvestment Funding of 3.1
[34:09] million, increasing to 3.6
[34:10] million. And then the
[34:12] stormwater utility currently
[34:13] has no existingebt and no
[34:15] future forecaste debt to fund
[34:18] the capital program a direct
[34:19] rate funded capital is
[34:22] anticipated to fund 77% of the
[34:24] capital program, with 16%
[34:26] coming from external fundi.
[34:28] That external fundings made
[34:29] up of a Department o Ecology
[34:31] forgivable loan, as well as
[34:33] some developer developer
[34:34] contributions. And then
[34:35] finally, we
[34:36] ve got cfc revenue
[34:36] at
[34:37] s going to me up the
[34:39] maining 7% of our o funding
[34:42] needs for stormwater.M, so
[34:43] re again, in our revenue
[34:45] requirement forecast, we see
[34:47] thos blue bars reprenting
[34:48] our own expenses. And then the
[34:50] green bar here showi direct
[34:52] rate funded capital, comparing
[34:54] the obligations to existing
[34:56] revenues in 2026, we see the
[34:58] surface water utility is also
[35:00] foreca to be defient to
[35:01] fullyover t 100%
[35:03] deeciation target for rat
[35:06] funded capital in order to fund
[35:07] the fl targeted amount, the
[35:08] utility would need to rel a
[35:11] bitn reserves. Um, moving
[35:13] foard, I Doe re action is
[35:14] taken,he utilityould fall
[35:16] short to providing any rate
[35:18] funded capital by 2029nd
[35:19] wouldventually not be ae to
[35:20] cover their tot o&m expenses
[35:23] the future. So in oer to
[35:24] satisfy that deficncy, we
[35:24] re
[35:27] oking at 7.15% increases from
[35:30] 2027 through 202 before
[35:34] dropping to 2.75% thereafter.
[35:35] This stratys set wit the
[35:37] e intento resolvehe cash
[35:40] flow defiencyy 2029 and
[35:42] ilize available fund balance
[35:45] to do so. Uh, a.15% increas
[35:47] results in anncrease o
[35:51] between $65 and $1.77 a month
[35:54] in 2027 and 2028. For a typical
[35:55] sile family customer. And
[35:57] agn, these rates are on
[35:59] property taxes so he a
[36:00] litt bit less visibility tn
[36:02] some of our wer, sew or
[36:06] solid waste rates. Finally
[36:07] here, um, looking at fund
[36:09] bances for the stormwater
[36:11] utility we doee on the
[36:12] operating side tha we have
[36:15] ailable fundalance in 2026
[36:17] that allows us tohasen the
[36:19] rate increas and whether the
[36:21] sh flow defiency or
[36:23] three year period. So he fd
[36:25] lances meet or slightly
[36:26] exceed the orating targen
[36:28] al years of the forecast
[36:29] period Withhis rate straty
[36:32] in place, the capital fun wl
[36:34] se growth in resves as the
[36:35] city conties to fund the full
[36:37] rate fund assisd reinvesent
[36:39] taet, growing until 2031,
[36:40] when the city has a lger
[36:41] capital expditure and the
[36:43] reserves wl fall, but will
[36:48] never fall below the target.
[36:50] ll pause here for just a
[36:52] second before I han ito
[37:00] Aman.
[37:02] Al right, see no questions.
[37:05] , yh. Gohead.
[37:07] Okay, perfect. I wil pass it
[37:09] to Amanda t walk through the
[37:11] sod waste discussion. Um, a
[37:11] you
[37:12] ll notice a l of
[37:13] nsistency with these slide
[37:16] asell. So go ahead, Amaa.
[37:16] Grt. Thankou.
[37:17] Brooke,an.
[37:19] You all hear me oy okay.
[37:21] Peect. Uh, and as we wen
[37:22] throughhe slides befe, just
[37:24] el free to chime in if there
[37:25] are any questio thatome up
[37:28] on the solid waste utility So
[37:28] right now we
[37:29] re looking at the
[37:31] a similar screen that we s
[37:32] forhe other utities with
[37:35] our study data. Assumptio
[37:37] he. Our period for the study
[37:40] is going to be abo 2026 to
[37:42] 2032 timeframe. And we
[37:44] looking at mting the spefic
[37:46] lid waste reserve tget of
[37:49] 3,000,000 in 2027. Equates to
[37:51] out 30 day of orating
[37:54] expees for the utity. With
[37:56] that custome growth. So w
[37:56] re
[37:58] lookg at an average o 0.6 I
[38:00] stomer gwth fm that time
[38:01] frame. Moving on. That
[38:01] s an
[38:03] average.H, looking at
[38:05] differentinds o customer
[38:06] classes like residenal,
[38:09] commercial, multimily. And
[38:09] then we
[38:10] re looking a an annual
[38:12] rate revenue of aut 32.3
[38:16] million in 2026, wch we wil
[38:18] needate increes to keep
[38:20] pace with the expense inftion
[38:20] that
[38:21] s happening. Asou can
[38:23] see in the dark gen box. So
[38:25] Brooke mtionedarlier, we
[38:27] ha internal costs tt are
[38:30] increasing from about 2.5 to
[38:32] 5.5% eachear. But there are
[38:35] so contractual costs like t
[38:37] waste manement contractnd
[38:38] other King County disposal
[38:41] items tha are increasing a a
[38:43] higherate tha somef those
[38:45] internal factors And just to
[38:48] touch ohe makeupf those
[38:52] o& eenses, aut5% of the
[38:53] budget for the solid waste
[38:55] utilityre tho contractual
[38:57] costs. So tt becomes a reay
[38:59] bigortion ofhe expenses
[39:02] that need to be covered becse
[39:04] of those large contractual
[39:05] costs. There are no city
[39:08] specic cip itemsnd there
[39:10] no new debtor the utility
[39:13] either. S on the next slide,
[39:14] we c lookt a slightly
[39:17] condense version, um, o that
[39:19] revenueequirement. Summary.
[39:21] Ashere are no capital costs,
[39:22] the system reinvestment and
[39:25] de are a huge portion or a
[39:26] part of a all of t solid
[39:29] waste utili. S you can s
[39:32] inhe first box there in 2026,
[39:33] we have our cash operating
[39:36] expens inhe blue. Our waste
[39:47] management charges in that teal
[39:47] blue. And the King County
[39:47] charges in the more greish
[39:47] teal color. So really the
[39:47] jority ofhose cos are
[39:47] based on contract kin of
[39:51] outside sources.N 2027, the
[39:54] utility requires a.75 rate
[39:56] increase to be able to meet
[39:59] thatpecific tget outlined
[40:01] the previous slide. So right
[40:03] now there is a sght
[40:04] deficiency I wt is being
[40:06] pt in t solid waste
[40:08] utilities fund balance.Nd so
[40:08] that
[40:11] s 6.5 right. Stop fund
[40:13] balance within the first year
[40:16] past 202 The utility can keep
[40:20] a 3.95% rate increase in order
[40:22] to meet those contractual needs
[40:24] over the forecast perd, but
[40:27] also anticatinghat on a
[40:29] longer scale we
[40:29] re goi to
[40:31] y to meet that0 day fun
[40:35] bance until 2042. I believe.
[40:38] , or 204 actually. So if w
[40:41] go tohat next slide.
[40:43] Ju real quick.
[40:45] Oh yeah.
[40:56] Councilmber Pre Go ahead.
[41:03] There you g. Councmember. Go
[41:05] ahead. The the I
[41:06] m just looking
[41:09] at theame. Can youear me?
[41:10] You
[41:10] reou
[41:18] rereaking up. I
[41:19] thin she
[41:20] frozen. Can you
[41:31] hear me? Yes. Go ahead. Um, so
[41:32] I was just lking back at the
[41:34] o&m expensgain,nd I just
[41:37] nted to underand, um, like
[41:49] the Kg. Couy. Um. And
[41:49] that
[41:54] shrough 20, 30. Four.
[41:55] Like, ist like. I guess
[41:55] th
[41:56] s one questio Like, how
[42:04] is tt brokenut? And then.
[42:10] Rate increases already. Jus.
[42:12] Councilmember. Your you
[42:12] re
[42:13] eaking up and we
[42:14] re having
[42:14] trouble. Why don
[42:15] t you try to
[42:16] turn off yr video and see if
[42:33] that hps Try it again. We
[42:34] re
[42:41] having tuble now. Okay.O,
[42:43] um. No. No worries. I
[42:45] ll askt
[42:48] at aater time. Tnkou.
[42:52] Anyone elseave questions
[42:54] Okay. G ahead. Amanda.
[42:57] Okay. Thank you. And I will,
[42:59] um, maybe tryo anticipate
[43:01] what that was kind of askin
[43:03] abt the King Cnty dispol.
[43:05] Uh, that portion, even tugh
[43:06] our fecasts going o till
[43:08] 2032,e areontinuing those
[43:10] costs. Um, throuout t the
[43:12] full forecast as wl. So those
[43:12] en
[43:14] t just till 2032. So on
[43:17] this slide, u below the graph
[43:19] we have an example bill for the
[43:22] 35 galnin. Uh andhis is
[43:24] going to change bybout $ and
[43:27] 2027 wit that.75 rate
[43:29] increase. Uh, and then about an
[43:32] avage of, of $2.30. Uh,
[43:34] beyond tha loong at 2nd
[43:38] 29.O if we g to the next
[43:39] slide a take look at the
[43:42] fu balance asssment. So
[43:44] rit now I 2026, we see that
[43:47] blue bar wch iselow the0
[43:51] days of o&m expens. Um, I
[43:53] 27 we see tha blue bar
[43:55] acally hit the black dotted
[43:57] ne, which mns tt the 6.7%
[43:59] is gting us to meet that
[44:01] target reserve. We do exceed
[44:03] thos 30 days. Once w get to
[44:05] the mid partf our forect,
[44:07] but w are also anticipatin
[44:09] plned, um, contractual
[44:12] renegotiatio in 2032 and want
[44:13] keep that in mind and keep
[44:15] our rate increes. Having us
[44:17] least meet our operang
[44:19] target through the e of the
[44:21] full forecast. S t solid
[44:22] wastetility takes a ltle
[44:25] bi more of a long term look.
[44:26] Uh, becse of the naturf
[44:28] thos contracts, then maybe
[44:30] wate ser o storm doeshen
[44:30] we
[44:31] re thinking abo those rate
[44:35] increases. Um, f the0 ds
[44:36] as well, this is something
[44:39] that,ou know, a Brooke
[44:40] explaid in tse previous
[44:41] ides, we are tryg to g to
[44:43] in that fst year. So that
[44:45] really is what the 6.75 is
[44:46] going towds that 30ays of
[44:51] operating Right And I will
[44:53] wrap up the solid waste
[44:54] discussion there. If tre are
[44:56] anyther questions on thi
[44:57] utilit
[45:02] Council, any qstionsll
[45:04] rit. Go ahead.
[45:06] All right. So jt I
[45:08] concsion here. Thanks,
[45:09] Amanda for that piece.M,
[45:09] we
[45:11] going to bring backhe
[45:13] combined bill smaryere
[45:15] ross the fr pliminary
[45:17] strategies that you saw tay
[45:19] in inclusive of taxes and other
[45:21] es. Um, aypical single
[45:23] family customer would see an
[45:26] impact o approximately $29.10
[45:27] a mth across all fr
[45:30] utities in 2027.Hatmpact
[45:32] would decase t about $23.6
[45:35] a monthn 2028. Um, projected
[45:37] rate impts or forasted
[45:39] thugh 2032.Ut just as a
[45:39] reminder, we
[45:40] re really
[45:41] concentrating on the rate
[45:43] setting period of 2027 and
[45:47] 2028.T this point,m, and
[45:49] then finally, wel wehowed
[45:51] u all a set of preliminary
[45:52] rate and capal fding
[45:53] strategies for each of the
[45:55] utilities. Tonight. We are
[45:57] working with wh city staff on
[45:59] additional rate scenarios that
[46:00] coul include the following
[46:02] adjuments or lers, if you
[46:03] wi. Um, so first of all, we
[46:05] will bng back scenarioshat
[46:06] incle service package
[46:08] expens tohow their impacts
[46:11] on t rate sategies inrder
[46:13] to mitige some upfront rate
[46:15] increas. We couldook at
[46:18] meeting reserve targets by 203
[46:21] instead of immedialy in 2027.
[46:22] For wer,urface water, and
[46:25] lid waste,nd primarily for
[46:27] wer, we could look to reduc
[46:29] our system reinvestmt funding
[46:31] ntributions f aeriod of
[46:33] time to helpitigate those
[46:34] rate increaseshat are rated
[46:37] to that fund bance recery.
[46:39] The secon two levers, with
[46:41] guidance fro council, could
[46:42] help to eas those near-term
[46:48] rate pressures. Yes, I see a
[46:49] queson.
[46:52] Uh, Couil Membe Arnold.
[46:54] ank you. I look forward to
[46:56] seeing some of the options.
[46:56] When you
[46:58] re lking at reserve
[47:00] targets, can we get multiple
[47:03] option for replenishment Um,
[47:04] forome, I
[47:05] m curious
[47:07] abthat are t impacts. If
[47:11] we close over, um, a bieium
[47:12] or two insad ofll the way
[47:15] out to 2032 and MAY want to
[47:17] look at options that treat
[47:19] different utities differely.
[47:33] Absotely
[47:36] COUNCILMAN Pascal.
[47:41] Thank you. Um, question or in
[47:44] couple o comments. Um, one is,
[47:45] uh, it
[47:46] really I reall like
[47:47] the table at the begning of
[47:48] the memo.Hat kind o shows
[47:51] all the the rate increases ove
[47:52] the nex six years for each of
[47:55] the indidual utilities. Um,
[47:58] byercentage. Uh, cou you
[48:00] wh when you comeack, could
[48:01] you just have an overall
[48:03] perctage incree by year
[48:05] when y, when y look at all
[48:07] of them togetr? Sure. Um,
[48:11] that would be hpful. Um, and
[48:12] then, you know,y second
[48:14] comment is Ion
[48:15] t I
[48:16] love t
[48:17] hear seone disagree with
[48:19] this, but it feels le these
[48:21] these rate increases are going
[48:23] be really impactful. Um,
[48:26] really, uh, impacting cost of
[48:28] living, affordabity, you name
[48:33] it.M, and I know that I kno
[48:33] that eveone
[48:34] s ccerned about
[48:38] that. Uh, generally, um, b we
[48:39] te to kind of
[48:40] compartmentaze things a
[48:41] say,h, well,t
[48:42] s because of
[48:43] is little thing here, and
[48:44] en this thing over here, and
[48:46] then this rightver here, and
[48:50] this agency over here, and and
[48:52] then it it com across as like
[48:53] kind of shrug our shoders
[48:54] and go,h, there
[48:55] s nothing we
[48:57] can do. A then we just move
[49:01] forward and, um, I guess I wt
[49:02] challenge tha kind of
[49:05] thinking And, u and know
[49:05] that we
[49:07] ve hadonversations,
[49:09] reonal rate conversation. Um,
[49:11] I know that we talked about
[49:12] this individually forhe
[49:15] differen utilities. Iust
[49:17] wod,
[49:18] m asking for pbably
[49:18] something that
[49:19] s impossible,
[49:21] but just like more, more
[49:23] emphisn, like, wt c we
[49:25] do? Like what I in our purview
[49:26] that actuallyan have
[49:29] meaningful change? Um, you
[49:29] know, what
[49:31] s the what
[49:33] s the the
[49:37] leas bad optio Um, so that
[49:38] just something that
[49:38] s on my
[49:39] mi. It
[49:39] s a it
[49:40] s it
[49:40] s a
[49:41] frtration o mine. I
[49:41] m sure
[49:42] it
[49:43] s frustrati of oers as
[49:44] well. It
[49:45] like I feel
[49:48] powerless. Thankou.
[49:51] Thank you.Ity manager.
[49:53] Yeah. So think we all share
[49:55] that concern tt the rates
[49:56] are going up in the totality of
[49:57] them. It
[49:58] not sustaable f
[49:59] the community. You know,ne of
[50:01] th reasons behineally
[50:02] pushing for t regional rate
[50:05] summits was, you know, take
[50:05] thisnd y
[50:06] all sawt on top of
[50:07] it,uget Snd Energy, right.
[50:10] An, um, it
[50:10] s jus not
[50:11] someing that can be
[50:12] suained. So inhe first
[50:13] summit, what we learned was
[50:15] that big chu of t
[50:16] increase aoss a utilities
[50:18] was regulatory. And so to your
[50:19] point about challenging
[50:21] asmptions, it
[50:21] sard for us,
[50:22] just particularly in the
[50:23] Pacific Northwest to think
[50:26] about. Would y defer some
[50:27] environmenl regulatns?
[50:29] Wouldou defer se climate
[50:30] mmitmentsn ordero save
[50:33] rate impacts? Right. So those
[50:33] ar the kinds of thing that
[50:34] needo happen athe regional
[50:35] level. And we
[50:35] ve been reall
[50:37] pushinh, this new count
[50:39] execute to take up that, uh,
[50:40] ose affordability
[50:42] assignments, uh, becausecross
[50:43] all of the Kg County is a
[50:45] major player here. So isuget
[50:46] und Energy. So that
[50:47] s oneay
[50:47] I think w
[50:47] re going to kee
[50:48] trng.Nd then we
[50:49] re looking
[50:50] very hd at everythg we c
[50:52] do on t flip side, I haveo
[50:54] keep our own cts dn. Well,
[50:55] so we defitely don
[50:55] t want to
[50:56] shrug. And we definitely are
[50:58] dog what we can to try to
[50:59] find path forrd here. Tnk
[51:03] you forhat comment.
[51:06] Deputy mayor.
[51:09] Uh, tnk you, MAY.Nd, uh,
[51:10] and thank you,ity Maner,
[51:12] uh, for remindi us about
[51:13] rkland
[51:14] s effor onhe, um,
[51:18] regional utility smit. Um,
[51:20] m looking forrd to the
[51:22] seco summit andhether we
[51:26] ca start makin more progress
[51:28] toward se concrete proposals
[51:31] from the lger group. Um, I
[51:32] share the conce tha
[51:34] Councilmemr Pascal raise I
[51:36] thin we allo. Um, acu
[51:40] concern, uh, whichs why, you
[51:43] kn, to put it, I think, to
[51:45] kind of add a plu one to wt,
[51:46] Counciember Pascal?
[51:47] Everything, everything tt is
[51:49] in our control. One thi I
[51:51] appriated was already I t
[51:54] oposals and the discuion
[51:55] ar some suggestions f howo
[51:58] smoo the the rat increas
[52:00] Um I jus want tomphasize
[52:02] atever is within our contr
[52:03] settin the regional rate
[52:05] summit, uh, aside and som of
[52:06] th strategies that MAY ce
[52:08] out o that, um, whatever isn
[52:11] our ctrol. U I want us to
[52:12] bring all that to bear. And I
[52:13] preciate the staff
[52:16] iniative already in
[52:17] identiing se of those
[52:19] things, but, um,gain, if it
[52:20] in our ctrol,
[52:21] d like to see
[52:23] it as part of our prosal, at
[52:25] ast, uh, to uerstand, uh,
[52:27] what I would mea and what its
[52:29] impact would be. So I jt want
[52:29] to add my voi to that.
[52:31] Thanks.
[52:32] Thank you, Cncilmember Primm.
[52:33] Welcome bk. Okay. Let
[52:34] s see
[52:35] if this wor. Hope you c
[52:36] hear m Sound good? Okay.
[52:39] Peect. Um, so I, I complely
[52:42] echo what, um, othersave said
[52:43] garding just how iactful
[52:45] ese rate increases
[52:48] potentiay can be. Um, if if
[52:49] they continue to be those rat
[52:53] in t future. Um, and I think
[52:53] I, I
[52:55] just lik to understand
[52:57] kind o what is our primary
[53:01] mechanism t now. Nowhat we
[53:03] know, um,hat I going to be
[53:05] kind of the input into these
[53:08] potentially increases in rates
[53:10] at is whatre our nextteps
[53:13] to, um, I don
[53:14] t know, assign
[53:16] individuals, uh, within the
[53:19] city toay, all right, youo
[53:20] and you know,ou
[53:20] re goi to
[53:22] and workn kind of these
[53:24] regial efforts, and then you
[53:26] are going to go workn,m,
[53:28] pontially looking intour
[53:31] ternal mechanism and how to
[53:32] reduce tse rates, I guess,
[53:35] what is our orall strategy on
[53:37] steps forward to kd of get
[53:43] this done? City manager
[53:44] Thank you. Thank you f my
[53:46] nd raised. But so it
[53:47] s got to
[53:48] play o across a viety o
[53:50] different, uh, discussions wh
[53:52] the counc at dferent cy
[53:54] strategies. So in the council
[53:55] budget process, you
[53:56] re going to
[53:57] ar a lot morebout the
[53:59] capitalrojectsnd the rates
[54:01] and the overall cityudget.
[54:02] Um, and we
[54:02] ll talk about se
[54:03] of thosehings. So some ofhe
[54:04] things we
[54:04] re looking at, for
[54:05] exple, the council did give
[54:07] us permissio toring on some
[54:09] additional staffing to wor
[54:10] partularly withhe Cascade
[54:12] Water Allnce and the regional
[54:15] um, wasteter disssions that
[54:17] are going on.Nd, uh, right
[54:18] now we
[54:18] ve been committin
[54:19] acss all levs. So I
[54:19] ve been
[54:20] very iolved inhese
[54:22] diussions.He mayor has been
[54:22] very involve These
[54:25] discussions. Uh, Couilmember
[54:27] Arnoldnd Deputy Mayor, uh,
[54:28] black haveeen involved. And
[54:30] obviously, uh, Cncilmember
[54:31] Pascal is our representative on
[54:32] the Cascade Water le. So I
[54:33] ink we
[54:33] ve beenrying to
[54:36] dress at every level to h
[54:37] City of Kkland can bring
[54:38] different anasis and
[54:39] diffent thinking to sort of
[54:39] challenge peoe
[54:40] s assumions
[54:42] and try to lower some of t
[54:44] costs. Um, so we
[54:45] re gng to be
[54:46] rking at the state level too.
[54:46] We
[54:46] ve, we
[54:47] ve had I our work
[54:49] program last time that anying
[54:50] that comes outf these summi
[54:51] or ideas isomething that
[54:51] they
[54:52] d wt to be taking to the
[54:54] state level, y know, and so,
[54:55] uh, right now it
[54:57] s still a big
[54:58] pu uphill because these are
[55:00] decadesn the makg. A lot of
[55:02] these decisio at the regiol
[55:03] lels. And it
[55:05] sard to get
[55:06] anyo to challenge their
[55:07] thinking in the short ter as
[55:09] this kindf sprung upon us.
[55:11] T as one as, uh, Jenny
[55:12] outlin at the very beginning,
[55:12] we
[55:14] re really trying tohange
[55:15] our thinking about our own
[55:16] tes and trying toake
[55:17] procs improvents like
[55:18] litting our wat and sew
[55:19] rate out. You know, f
[55:20] decade we hav
[55:21] t done that.
[55:21] So that
[55:23] an example, um, doing
[55:24] better at diffent analysis o
[55:25] the res, trackin our
[55:26] revenues more carully,
[55:28] lookingarefully at our costs,
[55:29] carefull our labor costs and
[55:31] other cos. So, uh, there
[55:32] probably nowhere in t
[55:33] governmenthat aren
[55:33] t lking
[55:34] rd at this and trying to ce
[55:35] up withreative way to bring
[55:36] the rates dow and to convince
[55:38] the region to hel bring rates
[55:40] down as welo much more to
[55:42] come on this side.
[55:43] And I would jt add,
[55:44] appreciate that. Council
[55:46] memb. U Prem, in your
[55:48] public iues committee is
[55:51] anher place to t aocate
[55:53] what w can do regionally on
[55:54] affordability. Um,
[55:55] Cocilmember Aold, did see
[55:58] ur hand up?
[56:00] Uh you d, but, uh, city
[56:01] manar coveredhere I was
[56:02] going to saybout theegional
[56:05] representation b Councmember
[56:08] Pascal at Cascade. Myself at,
[56:11] um, the solid waste, uh,
[56:13] working Groupnd Councilmember
[56:15] Prem at Sound City. Thanks.
[56:19] Thk you, depy mor.
[56:20] Od segue. I was going to d
[56:21] isdd, uh, I
[56:23] m tnkfulor
[56:24] the appointment to the
[56:25] Assoationf Washington
[56:25] City
[56:27] s Legislative Porities
[56:30] Committee. U tre, uh,, on
[56:31] behalf ofirkland, have been
[56:33] able to evate this iss with
[56:36] l the, uh, membe of the
[56:36] Legislative Priorities
[56:38] Committe andhose are
[56:40] elted officia, city, uh,
[56:41] statewide. And so w
[56:42] ve gotten
[56:44] a really goo uh, respons
[56:46] from those other elect
[56:48] officials. So this isecoming
[56:50] a topic, uh,hat
[56:50] s getting
[56:52] elevated statede. Thanks.
[56:54] Thank you Councmember Brown,
[56:54] did you haveour handp?
[56:56] Ye. One one more queion.
[56:58] Um, s the other thing is, I
[56:59] thk given justow many
[57:01] factorshere are that are
[57:02] going t be contributingo
[57:04] this rate increase across the
[57:06] board for allf our utilities,
[57:07] I think what wld be helpf
[57:10] also I like understanding kind
[57:13] of the timin of wn each of
[57:15] these individlactors would
[57:17] take, would would become
[57:19] effective so that we
[57:19] re
[57:21] prioritizing like, okay, you
[57:22] kn, like t King County is
[57:23] going to implent this rate
[57:25] increase by next month. Oka
[57:27] l of our eorts shouldo
[57:29] there, and we shod focus on
[57:30] that. So I justanted to maybe
[57:32] derstand, le aree
[57:34] faoring in ting as well of
[57:36] likehen the various
[57:38] componts could be ilemented
[57:40] and then kind of prioritizin
[57:44] cordingly.
[57:47] We are I think the challenge is
[57:49] unfortunately manyf them are
[57:52] coming at the same tim Rig.
[57:53] Onef the reasons we call for
[57:54] theummit and the summit
[57:56] occurred is that it just kind
[57:57] of happens that all of them are
[58:00] hitting the same tipping point
[58:01] of maj rate increases. So I
[58:03] thin part o the reasone ask
[58:04] for additionalesources too
[58:06] beart of the disssions is
[58:06] we
[58:07] having to enge
[58:08] everything allt once. You
[58:09] know, the solid waste
[58:11] discussions,heegionalater
[58:13] qualy discussions the
[58:13] Cascad water les
[58:16] scussions, andur own
[58:17] lookg at our own work. S but
[58:19] yes,hat isxactly wha we
[58:20] ok at in terms of like where
[58:21] send council memberso
[58:23] testify or dfts tha we make,
[58:24] or where the staff goes a
[58:25] what theyonitor, where we
[58:25] re
[58:26] really trying to makeure that
[58:26] we
[58:27] re hitting t right things
[58:28] at the rightime. It
[58:29] s a great
[58:30] point. Thank you
[58:34] Thank you Anyone else? All
[58:36] righ Jenny. Brooke, Amand
[58:39] thank you very much. A, um,

[59:36] session, since it

[1:00:32] ll cover t following a
[1:00:33] ief timeline and overvie of
[1:00:34] program activies a
[1:00:36] administtion. Outcomes and
[1:00:37] growth o the program over the
[1:00:39] st two and half yea, and
[1:00:40] potential expansion options
[1:00:41] staff has identified for the
[1:00:46] near fute. So, t begin with
[1:00:48] a quick rap.Ity Couil
[1:00:50] added $680,00 inne time
[1:00:52] fundingo the 2023024
[1:00:53] binial budt for t city
[1:00:55] first Uversal utility relief
[1:00:57] program, expandi what wast
[1:00:58] the tim the senior Discount
[1:00:59] progra to incde disunts
[1:01:01] and rebates and expan expand
[1:01:03] covege to all qualifi low
[1:01:05] income residents The program
[1:01:06] was designe with direction and
[1:01:07] edback from cncil
[1:01:09] throughout 2023 and established
[1:01:10] by ordinance that Dember, and
[1:01:11] then went into effect on
[1:01:14] Januar 1st, 2024. Of t
[1:01:16] original $680,000 budt
[1:01:18] fundg, roughly $200,000
[1:01:20] reins, and the languag of
[1:01:22] ordinance 04868 stillefines
[1:01:23] the program,dministration and
[1:01:25] the benefs deriv. The
[1:01:26] programas originally managed
[1:01:28] by oside conactors,ut
[1:01:29] came internally manag
[1:01:34] benning in 25. So a bit of
[1:01:34] background on program
[1:01:36] operation. The reqrements for
[1:01:38] elibility into the program
[1:01:39] are Kirkland residency and a
[1:01:41] househd income below 80% of
[1:01:42] the area and median iome. The
[1:01:43] ea and median income is
[1:01:44] deteined by theepartment of
[1:01:45] Housingnd Urban Development,
[1:01:47] and the recalculated every
[1:01:49] APRIL APRIL utilizing data from
[1:01:51] the Seattle Bellevue fma, whi
[1:01:53] corises Kin and Snohomi
[1:01:55] counties. For026. That means
[1:01:56] th threshold for qualification
[1:01:58] into theirkland Cares program
[1:02:00] woul be a gss incom of
[1:02:02] $93,350 for a household
[1:02:04] compsing of two people. It
[1:02:05] goes up and down depending on
[1:02:06] the members of t household,
[1:02:08] so we ralculate justased on
[1:02:09] the aunt of iividuals
[1:02:11] within a household. Dcounts
[1:02:13] are appli directly to Cy of
[1:02:15] Kirkland utili accnts for
[1:02:16] wate sew and garbage
[1:02:17] services into the city. Bills
[1:02:19] directlyiscounted accous
[1:02:21] receive a 50% discoun on base
[1:02:23] water rat, a 2 disunt on
[1:02:25] se sewer rates, and a 40%
[1:02:27] discount on base garbage rates.
[1:02:29] These discounts do not alyo
[1:02:30] a consumption charg abo the
[1:02:32] base rate,nd the do not
[1:02:33] apply t extraharges f
[1:02:35] extraickups, late fees,r
[1:02:38] shutff fees. T creation of
[1:02:39] th Kirkland Car program also
[1:02:40] expand covere to hseholds
[1:02:42] and multifamilynits that are
[1:02:43] not dirtly built by the cy.
[1:02:46] A tse. These discounts are
[1:02:48] realized throughebates that
[1:02:49] the cit calculates and tn
[1:02:52] sends to those houholds. Uh.
[1:02:53] Furthermore, we extd rebes
[1:02:55] to coverirkland related fees
[1:02:56] for businesse pets, and
[1:03:00] vehicle ristrations. As I
[1:03:01] said, these rebates are
[1:03:02] received throughirect check
[1:03:03] to the svice addre of a
[1:03:05] customer or via in-person
[1:03:07] pickup. Rebat f utilities
[1:03:09] ar sent on bimonthasis,
[1:03:10] d oneime rebates for
[1:03:12] qualified businesses, pets and
[1:03:13] vehicle ristrations are
[1:03:15] released o a monthly basis.
[1:03:17] Eligilitys determined one
[1:03:17] time at the pnt of
[1:03:19] application and then on a
[1:03:20] biennial basis going forward.
[1:03:23] So this year I 2026, we are
[1:03:25] certifyi all of t accounts
[1:03:27] th were certified in 2024, we
[1:03:34] certifying them. So we
[1:03:35] review the administrionf
[1:03:36] the progr along with budget
[1:03:37] and potenal participaon
[1:03:39] growth As Ientioned elier,
[1:03:41] the contract with t wh our
[1:03:42] outside contrtororward was
[1:03:44] not rened in025.O
[1:03:46] resints now applied directly,
[1:03:48] electronically or viaaper.
[1:03:49] Application to city, to t
[1:03:53] city dirtly. Excusee. Kurt.
[1:03:55] Yeah, I just wanted to be clear
[1:03:57] on that that forward. So we put
[1:03:58] out an r f someone to
[1:04:00] provide administration. The
[1:04:02] privat sector. For was t
[1:04:03] only oneho chose to apply.
[1:04:04] D after they did it for aut
[1:04:05] a yr, they decided it was too
[1:04:07] hard. Theyithdrew. Sohe
[1:04:08] reason that we ended up had to
[1:04:09] bring it in house is we
[1:04:09] actually didn
[1:04:10] t have aone
[1:04:11] else to do it. And then when we
[1:04:13] did reach out, uh,
[1:04:14] Councilmber Falcon had asked
[1:04:15] me, hade tried t check in
[1:04:18] with some folks, do this other
[1:04:20] places a w found for folks
[1:04:21] like Hope Lake,hey were
[1:04:23] actually proposi to do it for
[1:04:24] more than we could do it in
[1:04:25] house. Soart of the rson we
[1:04:27] resulted wit the temporary
[1:04:28] prram coordinat was we
[1:04:29] found it to b the lst
[1:04:31] expeive way we could do it,
[1:04:34] at leastt that te.
[1:04:35] Thank you f the
[1:04:38] clarifation. Gre.O, as
[1:04:39] Kurt mentioned, the city has
[1:04:41] hired aemporary program
[1:04:41] coordinar to assis in
[1:04:42] administering the program
[1:04:44] thugh 2026. Tt
[1:04:44] s me
[1:04:46] speang to you n. And the
[1:04:47] ty continues to accept
[1:04:48] apications, provideupport
[1:04:50] and process recring payments
[1:04:51] to allpplicants to the
[1:04:55] prram. U this include all
[1:04:56] certification, all payment
[1:04:57] processing, all elibility
[1:04:59] screening, and all outreach of
[1:05:03] e program.T this time. S
[1:05:05] brie program summary over t
[1:05:06] last twond a half years, the
[1:05:08] program has expdedoverage
[1:05:09] of the disunt a rebate
[1:05:10] programs to over 1000 total
[1:05:11] hoeholdsver thosewo
[1:05:14] year 792 households now
[1:05:16] qualify for direct discounts on
[1:05:18] utility rates, and acrs those
[1:05:21] households641,052 were
[1:05:22] discounted fro utility
[1:05:24] chars. Between 2000 and 24
[1:05:26] and t end of Je 26, a
[1:05:28] this yea these discounts do
[1:05:30] not impact the proamudget
[1:05:31] because they are realized
[1:05:32] thugh a lack o revenue from
[1:05:33] utility charges rather than
[1:05:35] rebated from therogram budget
[1:05:37] directly. The avera discoun
[1:05:38] per houseld is somewhat
[1:05:40] bifurcated based on the
[1:05:42] services a houseld can
[1:05:44] receive. S for instance, I a
[1:05:45] usehold is in a Nordsom
[1:05:46] Utility Distric oroodinville
[1:05:47] Water Distrt service area,
[1:05:49] an receiving water a sewer
[1:05:50] services fromhose utility
[1:05:52] providers, they qualify for
[1:05:53] less discounts because they are
[1:05:54] provided les services from t
[1:05:56] city ofirkland. That being
[1:05:58] said, a water dcount for a
[1:05:59] single family resence is
[1:06:02] about $25.74 per billing cycle.
[1:06:03] For a sewer discount, it
[1:06:06] $41.38, a the mos common
[1:06:07] type of gbage serce, a
[1:06:08] weekly 3 gallon pkup is
[1:06:12] $42.06 p a per billing cycle.
[1:06:12] So that
[1:06:14] s t months. A garge
[1:06:15] only account with the most
[1:06:16] commonype of garge pickup
[1:06:19] willeceive $252.36 in
[1:06:21] diount annlized, while a
[1:06:22] single family residence
[1:06:24] reiving a water and sewer and
[1:06:25] garbage svice from the city
[1:06:28] will receive $655. In tal
[1:06:32] discnts on an annual basis.
[1:06:34] Over that se timeeriod,22
[1:06:36] excuse me, 229 total households
[1:06:38] quified f bimonthly utity
[1:06:40] rebate ccks. Recurri
[1:06:41] utility rebes arealculated
[1:06:42] city code and based o the
[1:06:44] bedrm size of the unit and
[1:06:45] the utility service provided a
[1:06:47] curring utility rebat for
[1:06:48] garbage only aount will
[1:06:51] result I $120 in total rebat
[1:06:53] on an aualized basis, while a
[1:06:54] one bedom apartment receiving
[1:06:55] ter, sewer, and garba
[1:06:56] servicesrom the City of
[1:06:57] Kirkla will recve, on
[1:07:00] average, $360 in annua utility
[1:07:03] rete. And then we also, as I
[1:07:04] mentioned earer, provi
[1:07:05] business patent vehicle
[1:07:07] liceing rebat. These
[1:07:08] rebates are alied aft
[1:07:09] initia payment by the
[1:07:11] cuomer, a then a reipt is
[1:07:12] provided to the cit toet us
[1:07:14] know that theaymentas made.
[1:07:16] Um. However, will note tt
[1:07:17] on business and peticenses,
[1:07:19] the cy alsorovides
[1:07:20] discounts to certain customers
[1:07:22] front, unrelated to the
[1:07:24] Kirklandares progr. So we
[1:07:26] see less utilizati of
[1:07:27] business licen rebates and
[1:07:28] pet license rebates for those
[1:07:33] reasons. Soere we c see
[1:07:35] just a graph of ovell proam
[1:07:36] growth. As I mentioned earlier,
[1:07:37] the program has expanded eac
[1:07:39] year since its creion fro
[1:07:41] the origina 277 senior
[1:07:43] discount aounts I 2023,
[1:07:45] ding 396 total account in
[1:07:47] 2024, 199 total accnts in
[1:07:51] 2025, and49 account in the
[1:07:53] fit half of 202 These
[1:07:55] totalseflect the total of new
[1:07:56] applications less the accnts
[1:07:58] at are removed from the
[1:07:59] prram due to failure to
[1:08:01] recertify oror informing us
[1:08:02] of a household change that
[1:08:03] imcts their egibility for
[1:08:04] th program, sh as a mov
[1:08:05] outsid of Kirkland or a change
[1:08:07] income eligility. The
[1:08:08] jority of aount gwth has
[1:08:10] been driven by residts and
[1:08:11] single famy residence
[1:08:13] although0% of the progr
[1:08:14] totals are multi-family
[1:08:15] sidences, such as apament
[1:08:17] complexes, and then a breakwn
[1:08:19] of those 792 accounts tha are
[1:08:20] receiving direct utility
[1:08:23] discounts, 792 of those are
[1:08:25] garbageccounts, 444 also
[1:08:27] receive waterervices, and 379
[1:08:29] of the receive sewer services
[1:08:35] om the city So the outreh
[1:08:35] th we
[1:08:36] ve conducted over the
[1:08:37] past year and a hal we
[1:08:38] used seral differe avenues
[1:08:39] to try and expand knowledge
[1:08:40] abou the program locally and
[1:08:42] crease participati in the
[1:08:43] community. This includes
[1:08:45] distinct oneage mairsith
[1:08:46] a maile with program
[1:08:47] information that a company re
[1:08:48] chan, letters to alltility
[1:08:50] account holrs. We believe
[1:08:51] this was particurly efftive
[1:08:52] at the binning of this year,
[1:08:53] and increing program
[1:08:55] participation, and intend to
[1:08:56] repeat the eort with fure
[1:08:57] te change lters. We
[1:08:58] velso
[1:08:59] inuded blurbs inhe
[1:08:59] Kirkland
[1:09:00] s newsletter, and
[1:09:01] staff has appeared on Thiseek
[1:09:03] in Kirand Podsts.O our
[1:09:04] thanks and shout outs t the
[1:09:06] communationseam and cmo for
[1:09:08] lowing us too that.Taff
[1:09:09] has alsoone direct outreach
[1:09:10] via site visits a
[1:09:11] multi-mily facities and
[1:09:13] aparent complexesn order t
[1:09:14] directly assist residents with
[1:09:16] applicatns and questions,
[1:09:17] whh drove muc of the rebat
[1:09:18] acunt growth that we saw in
[1:09:21] 2025. Finally, staff has met
[1:09:22] with various local
[1:09:23] organizations to determine if
[1:09:24] the are potentials for
[1:09:25] expansion or collaration
[1:09:27] betweenur programs. That
[1:09:28] inudesing County Housing
[1:09:30] Authority, regional coalition
[1:09:31] for housingorth Shore
[1:09:32] Utility District, Puget Sound
[1:09:34] Energy, andoodinville Water
[1:09:40] strict. So this is t final
[1:09:40] slide.Nd this is wre we
[1:09:43] discussur continued efforts
[1:09:44] to lk at other way to expan
[1:09:45] the program, both within
[1:09:46] Kiland itself and pentially
[1:09:47] involving other utility
[1:09:50] district Sohe first oion
[1:09:52] at we have, and one that we
[1:09:53] intend on pursuing most
[1:09:54] readily, is usingata thatas
[1:09:55] colled between the Public
[1:09:57] Works Service Wat Team and
[1:09:58] the King Count Assessors
[1:10:00] operty tax information. Uh,
[1:10:02] ing that, we identified 500
[1:10:03] househds that wou qualify
[1:10:05] for t direct utili disunt
[1:10:07] thato noturrently, uh, have
[1:10:08] not enrolled in the progr.
[1:10:10] And thenn additional 200
[1:10:10] households thatould qualify
[1:10:12] for bimthlytility rebates
[1:10:13] that have not qualifiedor the
[1:10:15] prram. This opportunity I a
[1:10:16] lile unique in that w
[1:10:17] utilizg the assessor
[1:10:18] determination forroperty tax
[1:10:21] exemptions in 2024nd 2025,
[1:10:23] which was period tha the
[1:10:25] property tax emption
[1:10:28] ineased by $30,000 to $84,000
[1:10:30] tota and bame gater than
[1:10:31] the Kirkland care pgrams
[1:10:32] lowest incom qualificati
[1:10:36] level of $81,700. So tha means
[1:10:39] that for 202 the 800, the 700
[1:10:39] householdse
[1:10:40] ve identified are
[1:10:41] more oress guaranteed to
[1:10:42] quify for the King County o
[1:10:45] the Kirkland Cares program.M,
[1:10:46] because the assessor
[1:10:48] eligibily criteri is more
[1:10:50] stringent tn our program is.
[1:10:51] Um, so staff is currently
[1:10:53] woing through options to to
[1:10:55] onboard these00 houselds
[1:10:58] most efficiently. T secd
[1:10:59] tion that we he is a
[1:11:01] pontial expansion into, uh,
[1:11:03] the North Shore Utility
[1:11:06] Dirict service area. U
[1:11:07] right now Kirkland Cares
[1:11:09] programnly provides discounts
[1:11:10] and rates to Kirkland
[1:11:11] provid garbage services in
[1:11:13] therea, but cit code could
[1:11:14] be amended to allow for
[1:11:15] paents to North Shore Utity
[1:11:16] District custors forhe
[1:11:17] differce between the amoun
[1:11:20] that North Shore customers pay
[1:11:21] and recei andiscount, and
[1:11:23] e amount tt Kirkland Cares
[1:11:24] customers wou receive in
[1:11:26] discount. Uh, because of the
[1:11:27] differce in utity pcing
[1:11:28] between our aas,he
[1:11:29] differen in discount amounts,
[1:11:30] and the difrence in pgram
[1:11:31] eligibility requirements. This
[1:11:32] would requi review on a case
[1:11:34] case basis for each North
[1:11:35] Shore Utity Distric
[1:11:36] cuomer, determine whether or
[1:11:37] not they
[1:11:37] relready receiving
[1:11:39] Nort Shore discounts and what
[1:11:41] theifference betwe that
[1:11:42] North Shore discount and our
[1:11:43] discount is. We
[1:11:44] ve included
[1:11:45] that as an aachment to our
[1:11:48] memo to council today. Um,e
[1:11:51] alsootentially require a data
[1:11:52] sharing agreeme between us
[1:11:52] an North Shore utility
[1:11:54] districts that we wouldnow.
[1:11:55] Uh, the custome list of
[1:11:56] everybodyhey have w on
[1:11:58] discounts. We
[1:11:58] ve also discussed
[1:12:00] the possilityf ahared
[1:12:01] application portal so that
[1:12:02] anybody that applies t North
[1:12:03] ore would automaticlypply
[1:12:04] fo the Kirkland Ces program.
[1:12:06] But we hav not gon down that
[1:12:09] enue just yet. Thirdly, we
[1:12:10] intend to re-amine the
[1:12:12] utilit rebate calculation
[1:12:13] uh, in t coming yrs. This
[1:12:15] is becau the direct utility
[1:12:17] diountshat weive to
[1:12:18] Kirkland customers are bas on
[1:12:19] percentages, andhus
[1:12:20] aumatically update wnever a
[1:12:22] new utility rates adopted by
[1:12:23] the council. Hever, the
[1:12:25] amount of utility rebate per
[1:12:26] household is defined by cy
[1:12:28] de specifically, and so that
[1:12:29] was last determined when the
[1:12:31] ordinance was voted onn 2024.
[1:12:33] Astility cross increased year
[1:12:34] to year,hese rebates will
[1:12:36] begin to lag. Uh, the discount
[1:12:37] amount tha we intend and so
[1:12:38] will need to be rxamined and
[1:12:41] re determined. Finly, staff
[1:12:42] will continue to cduct
[1:12:43] outreach and pross pments
[1:12:44] and application throughou
[1:12:46] 20 while worng on potenal
[1:12:49] administtion optionsor 2027
[1:12:54] and028. And finally, I
[1:12:54] d like
[1:12:55] to leave it on for any
[1:12:56] questis in discussionou
[1:12:57] mightave.
[1:12:59] Thank you. Quinn. This
[1:13:01] really proud of ts program,
[1:13:01] and I
[1:13:03] m very impressed with the
[1:13:04] treach and a the workhat
[1:13:04] you
[1:13:05] ve done t expand this
[1:13:06] program. The
[1:13:07] s oiously a
[1:13:09] clear need. Um, Councilmber
[1:13:12] Falc, thank you MADAM Mor.
[1:13:12] We.
[1:13:13] Thank you, Quinn. First of all,
[1:13:15] I know thi is a lot of wor to
[1:13:16] ministerhis program. I can
[1:13:18] imagin a lot of details.
[1:13:20] Right. Um, goi through income
[1:13:21] verification and all of that is
[1:13:23] not anasy process. S tnk
[1:13:25] you for that. Um,
[1:13:25] mappy to
[1:13:26] hear that we
[1:13:26] re signingore
[1:13:27] people up. I think that
[1:13:30] od thing. Even bed on, um,
[1:13:31] stateed. Tha
[1:13:31] s a good
[1:13:33] thing. Rht? But w know,
[1:13:33] sadly, that the
[1:13:34] s also
[1:13:35] growing need, right Which is
[1:13:37] how this, you kno nely ties
[1:13:38] into our former,m,
[1:13:40] diussion. Our last agenda
[1:13:42] item. Um, and I really
[1:13:43] appreciateou to inhe memo
[1:13:44] where youalked about being
[1:13:46] prctive in identifying other
[1:13:47] ople who m qualify for the
[1:13:48] programs well. I know we
[1:13:50] doing a l of thatlready.
[1:13:52] But tnkingf, you know, how
[1:13:54] se can wind folks who MAY
[1:13:56] be eligible for this progr? I
[1:13:58] apprecia you mentioning the,
[1:13:59] um, the shared portal. I think
[1:14:00] that
[1:14:01] s areat idea. Um,ou
[1:14:02] know, I, I think it
[1:14:03] s important
[1:14:05] for u twofold to ruce o
[1:14:06] administtive costs,ut also
[1:14:08] to reduceurdenor
[1:14:09] apicants. Rht. Who w know
[1:14:11] that thosehat live with a low
[1:14:13] income have a lot of perwork
[1:14:15] and a lot of phonealls a a
[1:14:16] t of, younow, things, a lot
[1:14:18] of red tape to qualify for the
[1:14:19] programs that the so
[1:14:20] desperately need jt to
[1:14:22] survive. Um, inur community.
[1:14:24] So I appreciate that tt
[1:14:25] shared portal cld potentially
[1:14:27] address both o thosehings.
[1:14:28] Um,ecause oiously our our
[1:14:29] administration, o
[1:14:31] admistration costs here are
[1:14:32] pret high proportion of the
[1:14:34] budget. And anything we can do
[1:14:35] to reduce that. Wonde if in
[1:14:37] the meaime, I mean, loong
[1:14:38] atike the folks who already
[1:14:39] quifiedor not at like the
[1:14:42] 50% Army, do we have tou
[1:14:44] know, um, means test them if
[1:14:44] they
[1:14:46] ve aeady qualied for
[1:14:48] that, can we automatically
[1:14:49] accept them without having to
[1:14:51] go throughur process t save
[1:14:53] againn burden onhem and
[1:14:56] administrave cos on us?
[1:14:58] So the short answers yes,
[1:14:59] based on cityode, athing
[1:15:01] that the Dector of Finance
[1:15:02] deem accepble, for our
[1:15:04] purposes, we cou use. So for
[1:15:05] instance, we do already use,
[1:15:07] uh King County property tax
[1:15:09] exemptions. Um, we could als
[1:15:11] useodes exempt exemptions in
[1:15:13] der to, uh, get these people
[1:15:14] on the program The biggest
[1:15:15] barrier t that right now would
[1:15:17] just be getting a lt from
[1:15:18] Knud, um, whichould require
[1:15:19] somethingike a dataharing
[1:15:21] agreement. A they have
[1:15:21] mentionedhey
[1:15:22] re willing too
[1:15:23] so. W would just nee to go
[1:15:25] thugh those legal barrier
[1:15:25] Yeah, that wou be great for
[1:15:27] us t do that. Um, to beble
[1:15:28] , as I said, se both
[1:15:30] administrative cost and, and
[1:15:32] burden to them. So tnk you I
[1:15:34] apeciate being proacve and
[1:15:36] I and, love the idea of a
[1:15:37] shared portal, but I wld love
[1:15:39] that fors manf these
[1:15:40] differenturisdictions a
[1:15:42] entiti ase possibly could.
[1:15:44] Ain, just to haveore of an
[1:15:45] economyf scale savings there.
[1:15:48] So thank you.
[1:15:49] Thk you,ouncilmember
[1:15:50] Pascal.
[1:15:52] Yeah, yeah, tha you for the
[1:15:54] presentation. Um, and
[1:15:56] information that you shared.
[1:15:56] , I
[1:15:57] moing to kd of bui
[1:15:59] off of aittle bitf what
[1:16:00] Councilmber Faln was
[1:16:03] taing about. And, um, you
[1:16:04] know, the one thing Iuess
[1:16:06] that that that surprised me a
[1:16:06] little bitasn
[1:16:07] t I mean, I
[1:16:07] wasn
[1:16:08] t surised abo the
[1:16:11] need, um, that, uh, and, and
[1:16:12] the fact that that
[1:16:12] likely
[1:16:14] goingo increase wit somef
[1:16:16] the utity costs that, that
[1:16:19] were that were forecasting, um,
[1:16:21] bu I was aittle surprised by
[1:16:23] the admintrative costs. Uh,
[1:16:27] it looked like 3,000, um,
[1:16:29] betwee024 and 2026, uh,
[1:16:31] ich seemed to represent a
[1:16:34] pretty good chunk of of the
[1:16:37] available funding. And so I, I
[1:16:38] know tt you tald about
[1:16:40] reducing tho administrativ
[1:16:41] costs. I just want to emphasize
[1:16:42] that I tnk that
[1:16:43] d be good,
[1:16:43] but I don
[1:16:45] t want too it at
[1:16:47] the expense of, um, makg se
[1:16:50] thate continu to he a
[1:16:53] progra um, and monitorhose
[1:16:55] that participate in an
[1:16:57] efficient way.M, but my ask
[1:16:59] isust to is justo track
[1:17:00] that over time to s how w
[1:17:03] are reducg costs, um,ow
[1:17:04] effectivee are being. So as
[1:17:07] long as w So, sohe point
[1:17:07] is,et
[1:17:08] s just continue
[1:17:09] tracking that and showing how
[1:17:11] re making proess tards
[1:17:11] that. That
[1:17:12] be helpful. Thank
[1:17:16] you.
[1:17:18] City mager.
[1:17:22] Ah. Um, so Iust thank you
[1:17:23] for those comments. I do want
[1:17:24] to add tha we also highlighted
[1:17:25] adnistrativeosts, but one
[1:17:27] of t things tt is impornt
[1:17:28] to note is the primary part of
[1:17:31] that cost I actually quits.
[1:17:32] D he has done an
[1:17:34] extraordary job not justf
[1:17:35] reewing eligibity and
[1:17:37] stuff, butlsohis all the
[1:17:38] market, evething was much
[1:17:39] talked about pretty muc was
[1:17:40] also his work and trying to
[1:17:43] reach out to folks. Soe did
[1:17:45] work reall hard t try toind
[1:17:46] anlternative way to provide
[1:17:47] th service. And as said, we
[1:17:47] didn
[1:17:49] t get a proposers. And
[1:17:50] then whe we reachedut to
[1:17:51] folks and wand to charge us
[1:17:53] more. So when we askedveryone
[1:17:54] else likee did 2 or 3 people
[1:17:57] to do that. So we I careery
[1:17:58] mu about the admintrative
[1:17:58] cost. We
[1:17:58] re going to lookor
[1:18:00] creative ways to bng that
[1:18:01] down, but w haven
[1:18:01] t quite
[1:18:03] fired out that. Not yet. And
[1:18:04] then the final thing I
[1:18:04] day,
[1:18:06] in terms of t overall cost,
[1:18:07] what is n really shown on
[1:18:09] at lists theoregone
[1:18:11] renue tt people get because
[1:18:12] they get theiscount. Sot
[1:18:14] acally a bette number than
[1:18:15] it looks, because we
[1:18:17] basically, um, that
[1:18:17] s the one
[1:18:19] that cameut of theot you
[1:18:19] gave us.Ut it
[1:18:20] s not the
[1:18:20] discounts everybody
[1:18:22] receivg. So but, but s know
[1:18:24] at we definitely want to find
[1:18:25] a way to bring our numbers down
[1:18:28] if w can.
[1:18:32] Than you. Anyone else? Qnn,
[1:18:34] you are doing an excellent job
[1:18:35] on this. I really areciate
[1:18:37] . Um, you MAY have said thi
[1:18:40] in your presentatio b are
[1:18:41] there.H, Councilmember
[1:18:42] Falcon I
[1:18:42] m sorry I didn
[1:18:43] t see

[1:18:47] fish. Um, are there other,
[1:18:49] uh, are you getting ruests
[1:18:51] om applicants for oerypes
[1:18:54] of of relief? Ishere anything
[1:18:55] coming u that we
[1:18:55] re not
[1:18:59] capturgow?
[1:19:00] I would say t greatest amoun
[1:19:01] of requests that we get that
[1:19:03] areutside our current, um,
[1:19:05] ability too anything about
[1:19:06] our is reay just eanded
[1:19:08] discounts ofhat we alrea
[1:19:09] pride. Um, or
[1:19:10] misunderstandis abouthe
[1:19:12] Kirknd related nature ofhe
[1:19:14] fees. So, for instance, for the
[1:19:14] vehicle registratio we
[1:19:16] on rebuilding that $20ee
[1:19:18] that t Cy of Kirklan
[1:19:20] sessesn a car registration.

[1:19:23] hear, you know, oh, I can get
[1:19:24] help with my vehic

[1:19:26] inhe hundreds o dollars.He
[1:19:28] $20 fee well appreciated isot
[1:19:30] what somebody igineshen
[1:19:31] they hr about tha Um, for

[1:19:37] much. Um, but we have tried to
[1:19:39] increase ourommunication
[1:19:40] about exactly what we provide
[1:19:43] to try and limit uh, you know,
[1:19:44] those sort of situations going
[1:19:45] forward.
[1:19:48] Ay. Tha you. Councilmeer
[1:19:49] lcomb.
[1:19:50] Ank you, Mad Mayor. Um,
[1:19:52] thank you for the elanation,
[1:19:53] Kw. And als um, city
[1:19:55] manager for your remksbout,
[1:19:57] you know, the costs driver
[1:19:57] being Quinn
[1:19:59] s pition. Right?
[1:20:00] Which is reall important. But
[1:20:02] do think as w as w talked
[1:20:03] about theeed contiing to
[1:20:05] ow, not oy le, and, you
[1:20:06] know, as Quinn,s you were
[1:20:07] talking about just the, the
[1:20:10] overall cost per custome or
[1:20:12] r p resident.Ight. U
[1:20:13] thathat dollar value will
[1:20:14] likely increas butlso the
[1:20:16] number of residents who qualify
[1:20:18] MAY also likely increase. So I
[1:20:20] see this as a, um, you know,
[1:20:22] how to make your positio as
[1:20:23] efficient as possiblight?
[1:20:25] And so as we grow, even if t
[1:20:27] dollarmount remai theame,
[1:20:28] you know, plus, younow,
[1:20:30] annual, younow,m, pay
[1:20:32] increase, that the percentage
[1:20:33] would drease becauhe
[1:20:34] tol pie is goingo be
[1:20:35] rger. So your percentage of
[1:20:36] theie that is the cost of
[1:20:38] yo time wld be slightly
[1:20:39] ss. Like we alrdy talked
[1:20:39] about what som of the other
[1:20:41] things. But also I
[1:20:41] d love for
[1:20:43] uso look a insteadf
[1:20:45] anally every t years. Doing
[1:20:46] means testing, right? I know
[1:20:47] at there
[1:20:47] s predent f that
[1:20:49] in se other organizatns
[1:20:51] at do means testing. That m
[1:20:53] save youome time,nd also
[1:20:54] like to lookt what oer
[1:20:56] citi are doing to to expand
[1:20:57] me sort of shad portal,
[1:20:57] ght, to seef this is

[2:39:28] And only if the said, this
[2:39:28] isn
[2:39:29] t eh. It can t work out
[2:39:31] for us or we conclud there
[2:39:32] stuff thathey
[2:39:32] askedor.
[2:39:33] We just can
[2:39:34] give. Would we
[2:39:35] probably start looking the
[2:39:36] otherption? B we probably
[2:39:38] have a coue ideasnind as
[2:39:39] we go. But t intentould be
[2:39:41] say in partnership with atc
[2:39:42] would come t you with one
[2:39:43] option tha
[2:39:44] s agreed to for
[2:39:46] council revie a so.
[2:39:48] Okay, I guess I guess my my
[2:39:49] follow question reled t
[2:39:56] that is, um. At wt pnt is
[2:39:57] it a couil vers staff
[2:39:59] decisi to pivot to optio b?
[2:40:00] If we ge you authoty too
[2:40:01] to both? Rht.Ecause I can
[2:40:02] imaginhere could be a
[2:40:05] tuatio wre,ou know,ou
[2:40:05] mayhink tha it
[2:40:06] sot
[2:40:08] asible to me forward,ut
[2:40:09] okay. But council m wanto
[2:40:10] say, wel we d wan to
[2:40:11] ncede on tha thingnd we do
[2:40:13] nt t make it hapn. Sure.
[2:40:14] R tck I gss that
[2:40:15] s m my
[2:40:16] estion is how wil we
[2:40:18] navigate that. I it tha if we
[2:40:19] move forrd wh track a, y
[2:40:20] don
[2:40:20] need ather track
[2:40:24] endpoi, butf you think that
[2:40:26] youeed to gith track, the
[2:40:28] you com back t councor
[2:40:29] authorationor tra b. I
[2:40:30] justeel like I
[2:40:31] s a, um, it
[2:40:33] big step to say, y know, do
[2:40:35] whicher one you want. Right.
[2:40:35] An then I wld hate forou
[2:40:37] to come bk wh track and
[2:40:40] say, wel actually,now,
[2:40:41] um weant you toush harder
[2:40:42] for tck, okay?
[2:40:45] Right. Um, I mean, thank y,
[2:40:46] uncilmembe GOD I, I hr
[2:40:51] you. So, the g.He goal
[2:40:52] is not f sff to dide. The
[2:40:53] al is w
[2:40:53] ve been given
[2:40:55] direction, and preference has
[2:40:56] been expressed. To go s
[2:40:58] if we work wit tha I
[2:40:59] gues what I would s is I I
[2:41:01] fe like Iad a placehere
[2:41:02] thereereeral fatallaws
[2:41:03] or something that council nee
[2:41:04] to be awa of.Efore there
[2:41:05] wa the piv, wou come

[2:41:09] two stickin. But in the
[2:41:10] meantime, w
[2:41:10] ve done atle
[2:41:11] bit due diligence about what
[2:41:13] e alternative mighte.Ou
[2:41:14] know, I cou be here, it
[2:41:16] could be her So tt if you

[2:41:18] areetti the same
[2:41:19] infoation about the fal
[2:41:20] aw, you
[2:41:20] at lst kw wha
[2:41:22] thelternative might be. But
[2:41:23] no, t goal isn
[2:41:24] t that we
[2:41:26] would jt say, hey, torrow
[2:41:27] I, cy manager, h decided

[2:41:45] to toakeur it wor right.
[2:41:47] And I partnersh with wha
[2:41:49] they Cleive. So we just
[2:41:50] need some tim to wk throu

[3:28:01] basicallyook low density

[3:28:04] averag ht allow I a low

[3:28:07] kindf anremental step up
[3:28:09] the nex dense zone
[3:28:10] And that
[3:28:11] s how we looked

[3:29:04] projects kind of become
[3:29:06] feasiblef we were flee
[3:29:08] with tha And for that, one o
[3:29:10] the thingst we focused on
[3:29:12] makin sur that I an
[3:29:14] orzation wanted t ctinue
[3:29:15] to operate that faith b

[3:29:29] into looking at lot cerage.
[3:29:31] Um, and based t bonus for
[3:29:33] t covage on the l

[3:29:49] think it s impornt note
[3:29:50] th l dsity zonon

[3:29:54] So, um, when weook at the

[3:48:27] likely be monited by our
[3:48:29] collest arch.M,nd
[3:48:30] then the last thing I want
[3:48:31] mention abouthe keyments
[3:48:33] of the pposal isthe

[3:48:50] This sli, um, we put together
[3:48:52] in respons t quest about
[3:48:53] e,m,het of the
[3:48:55] plicatio of the tax bak.
[3:48:57] Um, so I jt wanto menon
[3:48:59] twohings about the sli.
[3:49:00] Firss tha the owner, t
[3:49:02] current owner o the proct,
[3:49:04] estimatehe val the tax
[3:49:08] break atut 500,502,000
[3:49:10] per year. Um, and then t
[3:49:11] haven lotsf questio
[3:49:12] abouthe impt to city home
[3:49:15] of taxak. So usingur
[3:49:17] internl,ur finance
[3:49:19] depamenttaff eated that
[3:49:21] thity propert taxes t
[3:49:23] uld be shiftedo the owner

[3:49:26] Kirkla as a resul o the t
[3:49:28] brft wer toe
[3:49:30] proved, would be about $1.25
[3:49:31] a year.Nd tt
[3:49:32] sin for a
[3:49:34] median val homen Kkland.
[3:49:35] I would a note,hough,hat
[3:49:36] that fure does not ide
[3:49:38] shifted t, a oth tax
[3:49:39] stricts. We
[3:49:39] relly jus
[3:49:40] ing abo the shifted
[3:49:43] tas. Um,or cit proy
[3:49:47] tax.Nd then this is the last
[3:49:49] slide. These are the is for
[3:49:51] counl cderation tha we
[3:49:52] flagd in the staff mem I
[3:49:53] go throughm relively
[3:49:55] fast. But you re welco tosk
[3:49:58] quess aut t Um, first
[3:50:00] is rdingome limits. U
[3:50:03] so the proje without the
[3:50:05] oject, without any covent
[3:50:07] in pla Um, jus you kno
[3:50:09] ma reents already has
[3:50:10] very hig dreef
[3:50:12] affordabil wh9% o the
[3:50:14] ecolats, rting f l
[3:50:17] than 6. I
[3:50:18] d also note

[3:50:26] cote kitchens a in u
[3:50:28] rooms. Ando ine ways
[3:50:30] be superior tohesenits.
[3:50:31] So a key questio
[3:50:33] whether it is likely for rents
[3:50:34] to ince or decreasn
[3:50:36] these uts over time, a the
[3:50:37] ether adability level
[3:50:39] should be linked toomething
[3:50:40] le thantudio units. Aga
[3:50:41] these aret queions that
[3:50:44] we re posin Um, uypes.
[3:50:47] Um the agrment incdes only
[3:50:48] eco flats and not 1 to

[3:50:50] know
[3:50:52] that t bomts,
[3:50:53] ich aresent in r2,
[3:50:55] particlyhe two and three
[3:50:57] bedr uts, m behe mos
[3:50:58] desiblenits and the os
[3:51:00] at are mtely t under
[3:51:02] futuent escalatn. Um,
[3:51:03] although t might be a
[3:51:04] of value in preservin the e
[3:51:06] flat as well. Um, at
[3:51:07] afable levels. Sohe
[3:51:08] question is,houldny of the
[3:51:10] reousehold size unie
[3:51:11] includ I the m undhe
[3:51:14] reement? Uent increas
[3:51:15] nother issue that we

[3:51:31] Right. T, lked to am I
[3:51:33] milarother ah managed
[3:51:35] unit inhe cit Shat
[3:51:37] happens is that if median
[3:51:39] inmees at ater r

[3:51:41] sncome,
[3:51:42] that individiving unit

[4:46:15] rstood um, the re of this, of theseustrial
[4:46:18] zonesn the city.M, andhe
[4:46:18] factheren
[4:46:19] t manyf them
[4:46:23] and ty relativy fragile Right. And I think theres
[4:46:26] e learned ihat there are opportunities for h
[4:46:27] he But exaly whehat
[4:46:28] go how mucf it I tnk
[4:46:31] is, stillom that is
[4:46:33] to bemined. I thi,m,
[4:46:34] know, whene getgh
[4:46:36] th b process andtart
[4:46:39] lking morebo pha two, there might be a option
[4:46:40] lookternatives t a
[4:46:42] su pn. Um, I think that there
[4:46:43] stibably a
[4:46:44] more exploration tha
[4:46:46] wanto to fige out, um,
[4:46:48] yo kow hsi fitso
[4:46:49] th a because,in, I
[4:46:50] our takeaway that it
[4:46:52] really uqu place and
[4:46:53] eess isre, as
[4:46:54] said,ea do val
[4:47:01] th flity. And, u and low cost of s.
[4:47:03] Ah I guess was alwaysy
[4:47:04] pression the subarea
[4:47:07] planould conside and if
[4:47:09] the a tnsver tim
[4:47:11] Right.M, that it
[4:47:13] s, ynow,
[4:47:16] at it mightot stayt.
[4:47:17] Um,ve withe of tse
[4:47:19] changeve time, I could, it
[4:47:22] co um,hange o to
[4:47:24] ing mor density things
[4:47:25] that. A what,that
[4:47:26] frtureou be
[4:47:29] necear to suprt that? Um,
[4:47:30] you know, ist I
[4:47:30] m hin
[4:47:32] tht pnn effor
[4:47:36] wod, uouw, evaluate.
[4:47:38] So I just I guess I
[4:47:39] just ait surprised to read
[4:47:41] in thatil, u that it made
[4:47:43] ound likee already m
[4:47:44] a decio tt we jus target

[4:48:04] wondering yougr with

[4:48:08] Again, I tnk we
[4:48:09] d look

[4:48:11] suut ain I think
[4:48:12] s probably ae more
[4:48:14] that can be that we can bring bk to counc,
[4:48:16] wheou can help us. You
[4:48:17] , you can guide in tt
