AN ORDINANCE adopting the 2004 Annual Budget and making appropriations for the operation of county agencies and departments and capital improvements for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2004, and ending December 31, 2004.
body
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. Findings: The council hereby makes the following findings of fact.
A. King County government is responsible for providing a variety of services to all residents of the county. These include regional services, such as public safety, criminal justice, public transportation and wastewater treatment. King County government is also responsible for providing local services to unincorporated communities, such as county sheriff protection, roads, local parks and land-use regulation. In addition to these mandated regional and local responsibilities, the county contracts with several suburban cities for services such as police protection, animal control and health and human services. To accomplish these tasks, this 2004 budget contains $3 billion in expenditures, of which over eighty percent is in dedicated funds that must be used for specific purposes. The remaining general fund expenditures - roughly $500 million - can be used for discretionary purposes, including public safety, human services and general government functions.
B. The metropolitan King County council has, over the past several years, adopted a number of long-range policies that prioritize competing needs while addressing the growing structural gap between the county's general fund revenues and expenditures. The council has closed a gap of over $100 million over the past three years, representing about twenty percent of the general fund budget. The county's general fund faces structural deficits of $15 million to $20 million annually for the foreseeable future.
C. Leadership from the council and the executive closed a gap of $24 million in this budget through a combination of new revenues and expenditure cuts. These changes include revenues from the $11.5 million voter-approved parks levy and expenditure cuts that prioritize administrative cuts over cuts in direct services.
D. This budget implements the council's policies for services that must take the highest priority and for those services that are mandated by the state or the county's voter-approved charter.
E. This budget also implements many of the recommendations issued on June 25 by the budget advisory task force, a thirteen-member citizen panel that examined the programs and agencies supported by the county's current expense fund.
F. Our first priority is public safety, which is to be met by ensuring that resources are available for the foreseeable future for law enforcement in the unincorporated area, the county court system, the punishment of criminals and the reduction of crime. Yet the council recognizes that without reductions in operational costs, by 2009 the costs of the county's criminal justice system would entirely consume the current expense fund.
G. By Ordinance 13916, the council created the Juvenile Justice Operational Master Plan in 2000 to help reduce juvenile crime while saving several million dollars in the system. This budget continues to invest in these programs that improve quality of life for our citizens and youth while also reducing costs. 2004 will be the fourth year in a row the county has benefited from savings in the costs of juvenile detention and probation and invested a portion of the savings in further prevention efforts.
H. By Ordinance 14430, the council created the Adult Justice Operational Master Plan (AJOMP) in June 2002 to help free up jail space and save money through such alternatives as drug court, mental health court and driver relicensing programs. In 2003, investments were made in programs and services that reduce recidivism. Council oversight led to a multiyear redesign of jail health services that achieved cost savings in psychiatric services. An initial design of an electronic medical records system that will create additional operational savings is underway in the future. As a result of these investments, while the state and other counties wrestle with jail overcrowding and early release of inmates, King County has seen a twenty-percent reduction in the average daily population in adult detention over the past two years, and a fifty-percent reduction in juvenile detention population over the last four years, all while containing costs and maintaining public safety.
I. By Motion 11491, the council called on the county's law, safety and justice agencies to work with the council to find ways to reduce operational costs over the next two years, develop alternatives to current practices and expand treatment options. Motion 11491 is reinforced by a recommendation from the budget advisory task force.
J. Consistent with the county's commitment to aggressive investigation and prosecution in the case of State v. Ridgway and the protection of the defendant's right to a fair trial, the executive transmitted his proposed budget with the expectation that the county would need to spend $6 million in 2004 on the Green River serial murder investigation and the scheduled trial. On November 5, during the council's budget deliberations, Gary Leon Ridgway entered a plea of guilty to forty-eight counts of aggravated murder, resolving most of the outstanding Green River cases. This budget places much of the proposed expenditures in reserve and anticipates the prosecutor, public defender and sheriff will provide the council early in 2004 with revised plans for full resolution of this case. Any funds that are not needed for the case will be placed in reserve to mitigate the impact of future criminal justice budget cuts. This mitigation fund will allow King County to preserve essential criminal justice services that would otherwise be reduced to meet our out-year budget shortfalls.
K. This budget preserves King County's commitment to health and human services, both for state-funded and mandated services and for discretionary regional and local services. Last year, the council committed to do all it can to maintain a base of critical regional and local services not covered by state and federal sources. This budget maintains and enhances this commitment.
L. Consistent with public testimony at five special meetings that showed that citizens expect the county to provide both mandated and nonmandated services, this budget augments those mandated programs with $20.5 million from the current expense, children and family set-aside and criminal justice funds. These discretionary funds enhance critical health and human services that serve the most vulnerable populations that would otherwise go unserved.
M. By Ordinance 13629, the council has established policies that guide the priorities for county funding of health and human services. The county's highest priority is providing for those health and human services that reduce other governmental and social costs, primarily criminal justice costs.
N. Consistent with the budget advisory task force recommendation for transparency, almost all discretionary human services expenditures paid for with county funds are now consolidated into one fund. This action will enable the county to track its commitment to maintaining a base level of human services over time, hold the county accountable for meeting that commitment, and make expenditures and results visible to the public.
O. The council will continue to work with providers and other jurisdictions in 2004 to develop a long-term funding source for health and human services.
P. This budget also reinvests savings from reduced jail population in cost-effective health and human services programs that help reduce involvement in the criminal justice system while at the same time preserving public safety.
Q. Consistent with the state Growth Management Act and a key recommendation from the budget advisory task force, this budget supports an initiative to encourage annexation of the remaining urban unincorporated areas of the county. To accomplish that goal, this budget reserves funds in the current expense fund, the county road fund and the real estate excise tax fund, provides funding for public outreach and negotiations, and the authority to use staff resources from the department of natural resources and parks and the department of transportation. To ensure a collaborative working relationship between the council and executive, this budget contains language requesting the executive to:
1. Identify the vision and goals for each annexation;
2. Identify the management responsibility and submit implementation plans for the council's review and approval; and
3. Produce and deliver a fiscal impact analysis for council review and approval before release of any of the reserve funds.
R. Consistent with recommendations from the property expert review task force and the budget advisory task force, this budget demonstrates the county's policy-driven commitment to improving the use and management of the county's portfolio of assets, a process that began with the reorganization of the facilities management division and continued with the development of an asset management program in the wastewater treatment division. The nine-hundred-twenty-acre Cedar Hills property is another valuable part of the portfolio of assets belonging to the county as a whole.
S. The budget continues this policy of prudent and responsible business decisions by implementing an annual payment of $7 million, from the solid waste fund to the county's current expense fund for the solid waste utility's use of the Cedar Hills property as a landfill operation. This property was acquired by King County in exchange for a general county promise to indemnify the state of Washington from liabilities from the site. The county has a responsibility to ensure appropriate payment, both for the benefit received by the solid waste utility and for the county's shouldering of long-term responsibility for management of this asset. The payment from the solid waste fund for the use of this asset is consistent with county financial policies and practices and is consistent with the state Accountancy Act, which restricts one fund from arbitrarily benefiting another.
T. The payment from the solid waste division to the current expense fund is supported both by a professional appraisal and by a legal opinion from the King County prosecuting attorney, which cites both state law and opinions of the state Attorney General.
U. Consistent with the budget advisory task force recommendation to increase investment in central systems technology and the council-adopted strategic technology plan, this budget invests in those technology projects that are backed by sound business plans and that leverage the most savings and efficiencies. Funding for other technology projects in the executive proposed budget are held in reserve pending further review of their business plans in collaboration between the council and the executive.
V. During the council's budget deliberations, the Washington state Supreme Court on October 30, 2003 upheld the constitutionality of Initiative 776, removing the county's $15 vehicle license fee as a revenue source for roads construction. The loss of this revenue invalidates the assumptions on which the county's six-year Roads Capital Improvement Program (CIP) was prepared, and will likely result in the elimination or reduction in the issuance of $80 million in bonds for construction of new roads and the loss of eligibility for another $100 million or more in state and federal grants. This adopted budget therefore includes the six-year CIP as originally proposed by the executive with some council changes, including a $9.6 million negative appropriation in 2004 and similar $4.8 million negative appropriations in each of the other years of the six-year CIP, with the expectation that the executive will submit to the council by February 2004 a revised six-year roads CIP and a revised proposal for road fund annexation reserves.
W. The metropolitan King County council has determined that both mandatory duties and discretionary services for the most fragile members of our society are at the heart of a regional system of governance. It is the intent of this body that its policies be implemented through this budget.
