PREAMBLE:
King County continues to face the fiscal challenges created by the Great Recession. In the last four years, the county has trimmed $233 million from our general fund budget. Tough choices were made with those cuts, but the county's proactive approach to reforming county government is reflected in the 2012 budget.
It is a budget that maintains basic human needs, such as food, shelter and safety, for our most-vulnerable residents in consistency with our strategic plan and our commitment to equity and social justice.
It is a budget that does not spend our reserves, including our rainy day fund, and it maintains the county's AAA bond rating.
However, it is not without sacrifice. This budget has 298 fewer FTEs, and the reality of looming state budget cuts could have a dramatic impact on the county's most basic services moving forward.
The 2012 budget, as adopted by the metropolitan King County council, addresses our immediate needs, sets careful priorities and limits expenditures. But the budget also maintains the county's commitment to reforming government by continuing to challenge all county agencies to find three percent savings by doing their work more efficiently.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. Findings: The council 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 criminal justice, public health and wastewater treatment; subregional services through contracts with many suburban cities for police protection, jail services and municipal court services; and local services to unincorporated areas, such as sheriff protection, agriculture, roads, surface water management, local parks and land use regulation.
B. Under the King County Charter, the metropolitan King County council sets policy and adopts budgets for the county. The King County 2012 budget totals $5.2 billion, of which $655million is in the general fund.
C. Fiscal restraint and increasing efficiencies enable the council to focus this budget on activities and programs that result in greater or continued efficiencies, and services and programs to ensure public safety and address basic needs.
Efficiency and Oversight
Maintaining AAA Bond rating: The credit rating agencies recently reaffirmed the county's AAA bond rating. Through fiscal restraint, the council has not spent from the county's rainy day fund or its cash reserves. Additionally, the county increased its cash reserves, which helps prepare the county for unforeseen emergencies, maintains the county's high credit rating, and saves taxpayers millions of dollars every year.
Right-Sizing Government: As the road services division shifts its focus to road maintenance rather than purchasing properties to build new roads, its need for internal support services for purchasing real estate will likely decline. This budget directs the King County real estate services section to develop a plan to prepare for this reduction in work in the coming years.
Ensuring Predictability and Efficiencies in Development: This budget continues to implement changes that will streamline building and permitting services for the public. Using flat-rate fees allows for most development permits to result in financial predictability for applicants.
Investing in EGovernment: This budget includes investments in technology that will result in long-term savings and better customer service for residents. One such an investment is a document management system that will allow the public access to three million documents via the internet. The 2012 budget also funds a high-priority, customer service improvement project that will allow King County property taxpayers to file a tax appeal electronically without having to visit a county office. In addition, the council approved legislation accompanying the budget that enables district court to accept electronic payment, including payments by credit card or debit card, of fees, fines, costs and other charges at any district court location across the county.
Protecting Water Quality: This budget implements programs and projects that protect the quality of life for county residents, despite lower revenues for the surface water management fund due to annexations. This is accomplished by: ensuring protection of water resources; improving the viability of forestry and agriculture; acquiring open space; protecting habitat; controlling noxious weeds; and reducing flood risk. This budget ensures capital projects are being optimally financed and restores important water quality monitoring activities in our rivers, lakes and streams.
Preserving Solid Waste Customer Service: This budget preserves the hours of operation at the Renton Transfer Station while requiring a comprehensive review of all transfer station usage. This analysis will inform any future transfer station service reductions.
Ensuring Financial Viability of Regional Animal Services: This budget requires the executive to develop a plan that ensures the financial viability of the regional animal services model and maintains the expectation of program partners.
Increasing Direct Services: This budget responds to the funding challenges of the road services division by providing direction to decrease middle management positions while increasing frontline direct services, dedicating additional resources to the preservation of our county roads.
Maintaining Transit and Increasing Transparency: This budget delivers the same level of transit service hours as previous years within a more productive transit service network.
Restoring Customer Service in Elections: This budget restores funding to provide an updated voters' pamphlet for general election candidate statements, thus maintaining access to democracy for the citizens of King County.
Implementing Civilian Oversight: This budget funds the office of law enforcement oversight, which increases transparency in investigations within the sheriff's office and builds public trust.
Safety and Basic Needs
Protecting the Vulnerable: This budget provides $1 million of one-time funds to three countywide regional service organizations that will enable King County residents to receive more food, shelter and safety services. In addition, this budget continues to support domestic violence shelters along with legal aid services, services for sexual assault survivors, and youth and family service associations. The council continues its proactive approach to the growing youth prostitution problem by providing additional shelter beds that will help take youth off the streets, away from prostitution.
Prioritizing Safety: This budget restores a critical investigative child find detective, who will advocate for child safety in highly volatile custody cases. In addition, the budget reflects the reorganization and consolidation of sheriff's office operations that focus on patrol and direct services within the community.
Expanding At-Risk Youth Initiatives: This budget continues support for two gang intervention programs. In addition, the prosecuting attorney's office budget includes two new initiatives focusing services on helping youth succeed in justice system diversion programs and to stay in school.
Preserving Justice Services: This budget preserves programs and staffing levels in the superior and district courts after several years of deep budget and staffing reductions.
Addressing Changing Jail Populations: The county's adult secure detention population continues to decline, in part as a result of the county's prevention programs and alternatives to secure detention. This budget requires a plan to address the costly provision of psychiatric and suicide watch guarding, as this population has increased.
Affirming a Strong Public Defense System: This budget recognizes the value of a strong public defender system by funding felony caseload reduction costs.
SECTION 2. Effect of proviso or expenditure restriction veto.

Of this appropriation, $250,000 shall not be expended or encumbered until the executive transmits a revised regional animal services financial plan, a report and a motion that acknowledges receipt of the revised financial plan and report that references the proviso's ordinance, section and number and the motion is adopted by the council.
In June 2010, the county adopted the policies that created the regional animal services of King County program. This new organization was intended to establish, through properly aligned financial incentives, partnerships to increase revenue, economies of scale, a consistent regulatory approach across participating jurisdictions and collaborative initiatives to reduce the homeless animal population, a regional model for animal services to provide for better public health, safety, animal welfare and customer service outcomes based on a full-cost recovery from participating jurisdictions. Reliance on the county general fund for support of this program was expected to decrease as the program evolved. However, just prior to the executive transmitting the 2012 proposed budget, the city of Auburn informally communicated that they would not continue to participate in the regional model after January 1, 2013. The timing of Auburn's announcement was too late to effectively be considered in the 2012 Proposed Budget. The executive proposed 2012 budget included a financial plan that projects revenues from the city of Auburn in 2013 and thereafter. The current financial plan also includes expected revenues from the animal bequest fund and civil penalties and fees from regulatory enforcement that have not been justified by past, actually received revenues. Additionally, this ordinance includes a new position in 2012 to be solely supported by the general fund.
With the loss of the city of Auburn as a participating city, the increase of FTEs funded solely by the general fund and unjustifiable revenue projections in the current financial plan, the required financial plan and report are expected to inform the council on the executive's plan to make the program fiscally sustainable and still attain the level of service expected at its creation.
The report and financial plan shall include, but not be limited to: 1) a description of the aligned financial incentives, partnerships to increase revenue, economies of scale, a consistent regulatory approach across participating jurisdictions and collaborative initiatives that have been undertaken and their effectiveness at developing a fiscally sustainable program; 2) the status of interlocal agreement renewal discussions with each city participating in the program; 3) the level of cost recovery each current participating city actually pays for services rendered; 4) the status of discussions with other jurisdictions or entities to join the program and the expected level of cost recovery level from each; 5) qualitative and quantitative analysis explaining the expected revenues for 2012 through 2015, including a detailed analysis of each revenue source; 6) a description of all program elements supported by the general fund including but not limited to salary differentials, FTE positions and other county services; 7) a strategy and timeline for implementing a sustainable, long term regional animal services program that reflects the values and interest of King County and its regional partners based on a full cost reimbursement model; and 8) a revised financial plan that reflects the analysis required by this report.
The executive must file the report, financial plan and motion required by this proviso by June 30, 2012, in the form of a paper original and an electronic copy with the clerk of the council, who shall retain the original and provide an electronic copy to all councilmembers, the council chief of staff and the lead staff for the transportation, economy and environment committee or its successor.
