[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 [14:12] m [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 [14:26] t [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 [19:19] t [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] s [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 [20:46] s [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 [24:44] s [24:45] internal budget. So that [24:46] s [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 [29:57] t [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 [33:14] s [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. [36:48] I [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 [39:09] s [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 [47:04] 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 [49:37] s [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, [51:18] I [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 [52:14] s [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] s [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.

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 [1:00:54] s [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 [1:03:34] ll [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 [1:06:03] s [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 [1:08:37] ve [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 [1:09:41] ll [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 [1:10:16] re [1:10:17] utilizg the assessor [1:10:17] s [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 [1:10:46] s [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 [1:11:48] d [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 [1:12:59] m [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 [1:13:27] a [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 [1:17:10] we [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 [1:18:12] s [1:18:14] acally a bette number than [1:18:15] it looks, because we [1:18:15] re [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 [1:18:21] s [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 [1:18:43] u, but I [1:18:43] ll gohead and [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 [1:19:15] re [1:19:16] on rebuilding that $20ee [1:19:18] that t Cy of Kirklan [1:19:20] sessesn a car registration. [1:19:21] Uh, oen when people hr [1:19:21] abou the program, they [1:19:22] ll [1:19:23] hear, you know, oh, I can get [1:19:24] help with my vehic [1:19:25] regiration. A the cost is [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 [1:19:32] her city servis,e don [1:19:32] t [1:19:34] hear or I have not heard as [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 [1:20:59] something we cld encourage in [1:21:00] other cits, whichs be good [1:21:02] for residents Um, but alsoo [1:21:04] help economies ofcale.

Um, if, uh, [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 [3:29:18] faci, tha standds [3:29:19] were fble ehhat they [3:29:21] can continue to operateheir [3:29:23] placef wor, also [3:29:25] prov se affble hou [3:29:27] se. So we factoredhat [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 [3:29:34] coverage allow for thataith [3:29:38] based facilitye of the [3:29:41] othe standar tha w wld [3:29:44] ose toive the types of [3:29:46] lopments are exempting them [3:29:48] all fm design review.

And those would also [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 [3:48:34] project wou be owned a [3:48:37] operatedy a nonfit.Hat [3:48:38] non-prit is still to be [3:48:40] dermined.

[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.

I mea think one [4:45:59] the cll ofhi area I [4:46:01] Martha pointed, is tt [4:46:01] ther [4:46:04] his amazing fabric of small businesses here.Ig [4:46:05] And the not a lot [4:46:07] induri land the city.O [4:46:08] Ihi of the thist [4:46:09] we sti haven [4:46:10] tompletely [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 [4:47:46] residential to sll portions [4:47:47] of theub a don [4:47:47] t [4:47:49] ow that I just, don [4:47:49] t fl [4:47:50] like the cnc has madt [4:47:53] desi yet, or subarea [4:47:56] planas reallad that [4:47:58] teionr notubarea [4:48:00] plan, but phase o [4:48:00] efrt have m that [4:48:03] dermn. So, um, I [4:48:03] m jt [4:48:04] wondering yougr with [4:48:08] th or or not [4:48:08] Again, I tnk we [4:48:09] d look [4:48:10] councition that [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 [4:48:20] nextp. And wean bring [4:48:21] baions next te [4:48:22] talk aut next p of [4:48:27] ect, as [4:48:28] Okay b you don [4:48:29] eel like you [4:48:30] ve receid direction from [4:48:32] on that r [4:48:33] Correc [4:48:34] ank you.
