body
PREAMBLE:
King County continues to face the fiscal challenges created by the Great Recession. In the last six years, the county has trimmed $253 million from its general fund budget. Tough choices were made with those cuts, but the county's proactive approach toward continuing to reform county government is reflected in the 2013 Budget. It is a budget that spends neither our reserves nor our rainy day fund and it maintains the county's AAA bond rating.
The 2013 budget addresses our immediate needs, sets careful priorities, limits expenditures and makes strategic investments. This budget also maintains the county's commitment to both its strategic plan and reforming government by continuing to challenge all county agencies to work more efficiently.
It is a budget that maintains basic human services for many of our most vulnerable residents in line with our strategic plan and our commitment to equity and social justice.
However, it is not without sacrifice. This budget has fewer services, programs and full-time employees. The reality of looming federal and state budget cuts could have a dramatic impact on the county's most basic mandated services in the future.
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 county residents. These include: regional services, such as criminal justice, public health, transit, animal services, transfer stations 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, conservation of agricultural lands, 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 2013 Budget totals $7.6 billion, of which $685 million is in the general fund.
C. Fiscal restraint and strategic investments enable the council to focus this budget on activities that result in continued efficiencies and services that ensure public safety and address basic needs.
Efficiency and Oversight
Protecting the public resources: This budget maintains our AAA bond rating. As part of this budget, King County has adopted countywide policies on management of county funds. These policies will work to ensure that administrative costs are kept appropriately low, departments plan for future pension liabilities, healthcare cost increases are managed, utilities work to keep rates appropriate and cost efficient and special levy programs prepare for the future.
Right-sizing government: The 2013 budget consolidates job duties and finds leaner, more efficient ways of accomplishing work both within and between departments. For example, the department of permitting and environmental review shifts its focus towards serving an increasingly rural customer base, continues to reduce staffing levels to match the needs of a smaller customer base and has relocated to smaller, shared office space that is closer to its service area.
Prioritizing and creating true efficiencies in combining health and human services: With increasingly limited resources available for the health and human services safety net, this budget calls on the executive to develop and transmit to the council a plan for an integrated public health and human services department. The goal of this change is to create a new integrated model that provides more effective and efficient services, addresses unnecessary duplication of services and identifies associated cost savings.
Developing efficiencies in the county's justice system: Almost three quarters of the county's general fund expenditures pays for law and justice services. The council's budget recognizes that significant long-term efficiencies in the criminal justice system can only be achieved by reviewing the entire system. This budget directs the executive to work with all partners in the law and justice system to identify long-range strategies for achieving efficiencies by applying best practice strategies and examining the risks, benefits and barriers of each strategy.
Investing in technology: This budget includes investments in information technology that will improve how services are delivered. One such investment is an electronic health records system that will improve coordination of care for the at-risk and vulnerable populations who receive clinical services from public health.
The 2013 budget invests in eGovernment and improves service delivery through expansion of the iRealProperty program in order to increase efficiency of property appraisers in the field, while continuing to make it easier for customers and property owners to access a higher quality of property information.
The 2013 budget also funds the initial phase of a high-priority customer service improvement project that will allow the public to deal with certain district court cases online.
In addition, this budget funds a project to increase the quality and timeliness of emergency medical services data to improve patient care. An on-line permit processing system is funded, and this budget calls for a potential linkage with the permit processing program used by other local jurisdictions through the eGov Alliance. Finally, this budget requires the development of options and cost estimates of translating some online services of the King County website into multiple languages.
Increasing efficiencies for water quality capital planning: This budget includes additional important water quality monitoring activities in our rivers, lakes and streams. It also aims to optimally finance capital projects by focusing on asset management, conveyance capacity and energy use reduction. This budget analyzes project prioritization to reduce sewer overflows while benefiting from low borrowing costs.
Improving financial viability of regional animal services: This budget continues the efforts of the council to maintain the financial viability of the regional animal services model and directs strategic planning to cover costs in a sustainable manner as well as reducing costs. In addition, this budget identifies workload efficiencies in animal services that will result in savings to the county and twenty-five partner cities. In keeping with council direction, the regional animal services program has brought the euthanasia rate down to fourteen percent, a thirty-four percent reduction over the past ten years.
Increasing countywide accountability: This budget continues the council's implementation of performance-based planning and budgeting in preparation for the first countywide biennial budget development process. This budget requires the executive to clearly define the accountability measures that help achieve the efficient and effective functioning of county programs. This budget also advances the principle of fair and just government for all people.
Safety and Basic Needs
Protecting the vulnerable: This budget provides $1.3 million of one-time funds to countywide regional service organizations to help shore up the health and human services safety net. These funds support domestic violence shelters, legal aid, services for sexual assault survivors, postincarceration education, housing services and a coordinated and comprehensive approach to address the growing problem of human trafficking.
This budget calls for the sheriff's office and public health - Seattle and King County to lead a countywide effort involving health and human services partners, law enforcement and jurisdictions at all levels of government to address human trafficking. The collaborative approach will identify and support victims, develop successful trafficking suppression strategies, identify strategic investment opportunities and provide additional shelter beds. These efforts will help get youth off the streets and keep them safe.
Prioritizing safety: This budget reflects the reorganization and consolidation of sheriff's office to focus on patrol and direct services within the community, especially for the county's unincorporated area residents. In addition, the council has created a new succession planning process to ensure the sheriff's office has sufficient resources to replace the commissioned officers due to a growing number of retirements and separations. This budget also makes strategic investments to reduce recidivism by continuing to support two gang intervention programs and improving transitional services for those leaving jail.
Preserving justice services: This budget preserves superior and district court programs and staffing levels after several years of deep budget cuts. This budget recognizes the addition of the city of Auburn's new contract with district court to provide municipal court services. In addition, stabilizing the staffing level of the prosecuting attorney's office increases its ability to file criminal cases in a timely and judicious manner. This protects the rights and safety of King County residents. This budget continues to support the prosecuting attorney's initiatives aimed at reducing felony caseload and diverting low-level adult and juvenile cases from the criminal justice system. Finally, this budget recognizes the value of a strong public defender system by funding felony caseload costs.
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. The council is continuing its oversight of jail populations by requiring more efficient use of jail staff and facilities. This budget also requires that the executive explore opportunities to add new contracts with the state to relieve pressure on the state prison system while improving public safety and increasing county revenues. Finally, this budget requires that jail health services, in cooperation with the jail, provide oversight reports to the council to monitor various health and safety costs.
Continuing Challenges for Mobility and Transit
Transportation challenges require comprehensive solutions: This budget highlights significant unmet preservation and maintenance needs for rural and unincorporated area roads and the need to maintain transit service. It also highlights the urgent need for a comprehensive state transportation package, as the revenue tools available to King County at this time are not sufficient to address the scale of the transportation problems. The department of transportation's road services division and transit division have identified efficiencies, developed strategic plans to set priorities and worked to improve productivity and efficiency. Despite these efforts, structural funding gaps, partially due to annexations, mean that the level of services provided falls further behind what the community and facilities need.
The county has conducted a multiyear condition and needs analysis for rural and unincorporated area roads, which resulted in the adopted Strategic Plan for Road Services. This analysis is guiding the priorities for the county's limited roads funding, as well as informing continued work with the legislature on developing funding options. This budget, however, responds to what can be accomplished with dramatically fewer available revenues by meeting only highest priority needs. This translates to continued employee layoffs, with more than seventy positions reduced in this budget and a road services division with two hundred fewer positions than in 2008, more closed and load-restricted bridges, some roadways being converted to gravel and fewer employees available for snow and winter storm responses.
For King County Metro Transit, this budget marks the end of the temporary congestion reduction charge and the beginning of transit service reductions. This budget is based in strategic plan-based service decisions and the completion of the initial six RapidRide lines in 2013, as committed to the voters in 2006. This budget also requires a comprehensive review of the Metro transit fare structure including options for a low-income fare program as the next step in improving transit system fairness.
This budget invests in important social safety net services, protects public safety, calls for the consolidation of county government, and makes strategic investments for the county's future.
