Page 2 of 3 Section 3. The City Manager may authorize transfers of budget authority within a fund as needed but may not transfer budget authority from one fund to another without the prior approval of the City Council.

The biennial budget cycle also supports efficient operations by minimizing budget development activities in mid-cycle years. The Council approved a budget for 2022 late in the fall of 2020 to which City administration is now proposing a modest number of modifications for consideration. The adjustments enhance the City’s ability to complete the 2022 work plan that is already in place and responds to Council and community support requests. Modifications can be grouped as follows: 1. Consistent, reliable, and predictable public services. These budget adjustments reflect the City’s commitment to providing consistent, reliable, and predictable services for residents. We therefore need a stable level of staffing and an adequate number of people to perform the work expected by the Council and the public. 2. Built environment. These budget adjustments reflect the City’s responsibility for improving or maintaining our infrastructure environment. This includes efforts to expand the supply of affordable housing, maintenance functions, wastewater treatment plant maintenance and upgrades, and land use planning. 3. Natural environment. These budget adjustments reflect the City’s responsibilities for our natural environment in accordance with the Guiding Principles of the Comprehensive Plan and the City Council’s established policy priorities. 4. Technical changes. These budget adjustments reflect decisions that have already been made through, for example, a 2021 quarterly budget adjustment, a 2021 Ordinance, or contract acceptance. 2 | P a g e The 2022 budget modifications are as follows: Consistent, reliable and predictable – 7 items, $526,260 expenditure increase, 2.0 FTE: Budget changes in this grouping increases the City’s regular position count by 2.0 FTE, provides for temporary public records staffing, and establishes a management intern fellowship. The total increase to spending is $526,260 in 2022, $416,260 of which is ongoing spending and $110,000 in one-time spending. • Management Analyst - $127,760 expenditure increase and 1.0 FTE: This position will allow the City Manager’s office to address emerging requests for policy support from the City Manager and City Council, manage special projects, and support issues of particular importance across the City. • National Urban Fellowship Intern - $75,000 expenditure increase: Participate in the National Urban Fellows program as a mentor. The fellowship program is centered on early to mid-career professionals who are committed to equity, public service, and social impact. Mentorship is a critical element of the program. Fellows receive unparalleled access to senior executives, networks, and professional development, while mentor organizations gain fresh perspectives that are key to maintaining relevance and flexibility. • Senior Information Technology Analyst - $120,000 expenditure increase and 1.0 FTE: This position will allow City staff to provide the increasing audio-visual support required for City meetings, assure security needs are met, improve City website infrastructure, and address the backlog of technical requests from staff. • Temporary Public Records Analyst - $60,000 expenditure increase: This position will be dedicated to work responsibilities related to identifying and compiling records responsive to public records requests received by the City. This addition provides support for existing staff, acknowledges that current and expected future workload exceeds current staffing, and allows for redundancy in the public records function. • Software applications - $73,500 expenditure increase. The City will continue using a hybrid approach to our work spaces and processes. This will entail continuing the use of certain software in the area of video conferencing, community information, civic engagement, hydrogeology tools, increased security and project management. • 3rd party building support services -$50,000 expenditure increase: In the development of the 2021- 2022 Adopted Budget, Council approved the elimination of the vacant Senior Plans Examiner position. As an offset to the decreased capacity, staff recommended using third party building support services to fill the gap during times of high permitting volumes. Building permits and plan reviews remain in a back-log status. Staff recommends continuing this optional service to better serve our customers. • Communications, outreach, and civic engagement - $20,000 expenditure increase: The City Council and administration continue to prioritize transparency and civic engagement, believing effective communication plays a key role in this endeavor. Built Environment – 11 items, $480,000 revenue increase, $570,525 expenditure increase, 2.0 FTE: Budget changes in this grouping increase the City’s regular position count by 2.0 FTE, provide for a housing action plan, and address asset maintenance, equipment and routine operations. The total increase to 3 | P a g e spending is $570,525 in 2022, of which $320,525 is ongoing spending. The City also recognizes new revenue, dedicated to certain affordable housing purposes, of $480,000 per year. • Sales and use tax one-tenth of one percent - $480,000 revenue increase: Council authorized an incremental sales and use tax to be used for funding affordable housing and mental and behavioral health-related facilities. • Housing Specialist - $140,525 expenditure increase and 1.0 FTE: This request adds a new position within the City Manager’s office. This employee will be able to lead the City’s programs and services intended to address the wide range of policy and finance issues related to affordable housing. • Housing Action Plan (HAP) - $100,000 expenditure increase: This request adds professional services funding in the Planning and Community Development department to create a HAP. A HAP identifies community housing needs and identifies ways the City can support development that is needed to build and strengthen our community. • Maintenance Worker - $80,000 expenditure increase and 1.0 FTE: This position will allow the City to consistently preserve the downtown corridor, maintain infrastructure, and quickly respond to community concerns in the Winslow area. • Lineal moorage repair and maintenance - $20,000 expenditure increase: This funding will support the expanded buoy system, increased repairs, and unanticipated inflation costs. • Public works fuel system software upgrade - $45,000 expenditure increase: Funding was added to the 2021-2022 Adopted Budget for the replacement of obsolete fueling software at the public works fueling station. Original plans were to complete this project in 2021. However, due to staffing capacity constraints this project was postponed. This request adds the funding to 2022. • Survey equipment - $25,000 expenditure increase: The purpose of this funding is to replace obsolete equipment used by City staff for field surveys. Current equipment is unable to acquire accurate GPS position and requires a two-person crew to operate which is problematic and time consuming for staff. • Water and sewer rate study - $75,000 expenditure increase: This is a periodic update to the City’s utility rates and will allow the utilities to plan for and fund needed capital and operating expenses. • Biosolids waste disposal - $45,000 expenditure increase: The City hauls the biosolids from the Wastewater Treatment Plants biosolids to a different location for processing, and, in 2021 had to change the location. Additional funding is needed to cover the increase in hauling expense. • Country Club Bulkhead repair capital project - $15,000 expenditure increase: Increase in cost due to construction cost increase. • Madison Ave sidewalk improvements capital project - $25,000 expenditure increase: Increase in cost due to construction cost increase. Natural Environment – 3 items, $110,000 expenditure increase: Budget changes in this grouping do not increase the City’s regular position count. The changes provide for ongoing work related to trails and groundwater management. The total increase to spending is $110,000 in 2022, with no costs considered ongoing spending. 4 | P a g e • Parks Interlocal Maintenance Agreement - $20,000 expenditure increase: At the January 26, 2021 City Council Regular Business Meeting, Council authorized a budget amendment in the amount of $20,000 to support activities associated with the execution of the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the City and Bainbridge Island Parks District. The ILA is a partnership intended to share resources and create efficiencies in performing certain trail construction and maintenance. This budget request continues the partnership in 2022. • Groundwater management plan/data acquisition and management support - $25,000 expenditure increase: The development of the Groundwater Management Plan is underway, led by the City’s Hydrogeologist. The purpose of this funding is additional data acquisition and management, including well monitoring, groundwater model updates and GIS modeling. • Vincent Road dump ground water monitoring - $65,000 expenditure increase: This funding provides for a required Funding for the Department of Ecology’s (DOE) 5-year landfill report. In December 2020, the DOE notified the City that the deadline of the required report was being pushed to 2023 due to staff shortages. The DOE also informed the City the report would require an additional test for manganese. This request adds the original 2021 funding of $45,000 plus an additional amount of $20,000 for the additional testing to 2022. Technical Modifications 7 items, $597,250 expenditure increase, .65 FTE: • Council salaries and benefits - $188,500 expenditure increase: In a decision from the Salary Commission to City Council dated April 19, 2021, the Salary Commission determined all members of City Council salary should be $36,000 per year and the Council elected Mayor shall receive $48,000 per year. A budget amendment in the amount of $188,500 covers the additional salaries and benefits. • Human Resources Analyst - $62,215 expenditure increase and 0.5 FTE: The additional capacity created by this position will provide efficient recruitment citywide, respond to changing regulations and policies surrounding COVID-19, and research and implement recruitment and retention practices with the goal to attract and retain a diverse workforce. • Court personnel - $46,000 expenditure increase and a net of 0.15 FTE: Court Security was decreased from .75 FTE to .50 FTE and two Senior Judicial Technicians were increased to full-time employees from .80 FTE’s. The changes were made due to an increase in remote video hearings which requires less security and a backlog of other services, such as processing of passport applications. • Cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) - $344,400 expenditure increase: The 2022 Adopted Budget for salaries and benefits assumed a 1.5% increase; the actual COLA was 3.5%, the maximum provided by the labor contract, due to the June 2021 CPI. • WCIA insurance - $108,000 expenditure increase: The City’s insurance provider has increased premiums due to statewide factors including the increasing cost of claims paid for member losses, changes in state laws, and changing conditions in the insurance market worldwide. • Wastewater Treatment Plant debt refinancing - $41,850 expenditure decrease: The City refunded existing bonds and will have lower payments going forward. 5 | P a g e • Fireflow water capital project - $110,000 expenditure decrease: The timing of this project changed, and budget was moved to 2021. This is the offsetting decrease to 2022. 6 | P a g e TABLE 1: Proposed 2022 Budget Modifications With these proposed adjustments, the 2022 budget continues to meet the City’s guiding fiscal priorities; hold recurring expenses less than recurring revenues, and fully fund all policy reserves. In the coming weeks, I look forward to working with you to approve a modified budget for 2022. I am also looking forward to working with you in 2022 for development of the 2023/2024 biennial budget.

In the budget summary memo, the item was described as: $80,000 expenditure increase and 1.0 FTE: This position will allow the City to consistently preserve the downtown corridor, maintain infrastructure, and quickly respond to community concerns in the Winslow area Background In recent years, Winslow Way has been experiencing a significant increase in the amount of visitors and tourists. This increase, along with the trend towards more take-out beverages and eating establishments, has led to an increased and regular need for garbage collection and general clean-up in the Winslow Way/downtown area. The Public Works staff receives regular correspondence from the community, and community-based organizations like the Downtown Association and the Chamber of Commerce about the cleanliness of downtown, and the need for additional resources. Currently, the work of maintaining downtown is performed by the Public Works Operations and Maintenance staff. The range of tasks is performed by various different positions, including those typically assigned to streets, utility and facility maintenance. With the increasing workload required to keep downtown clean, much of this work is performed on overtime after-hours and on weekends, which increases costs and limits critical personnel available for infrastructure operations and maintenance. Recommendation In order to meet the community’s expectations for the cleanliness of the Winslow Way/downtown area – as well as preserve infrastructure operations staff - the Department is proposing adding a new position to the 2022 budget, a Maintenance Worker, who would be assigned specifically for those duties. As described in the budget, this position would cost approximately $80K annually. The position would be assigned a range of duties, likely on an alternative schedule that includes weekend hours, such as trash collection, power washing, litter pick-up, hanging basket maintenance and watering, minor landscaping, and banner hanging.
