Jefferson County 2003 Budget Goals and Objectives
WBEREAS, the strategic objectives with the highest priority
are:
a) supporting economic development,
b) protecting and enhancing natural resources,
c) supporting law and justice programs,
d) addressing local public health problems, and
e) planning for long-term capital facility needs.
WBEREAS, county services must meet citizen needs efficiently
and effectively, and
WBEREAS, it is recognized that citizens of Jefferson County
expect both accountability and affordability from their
government.
WBEREAS, Jefferson County together with the City of Port
Townsend and other local government agencies recognize that
collaborative efforts to provide services benefits all
citizens of the county, and
NOW, T.BEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of
Commissioners of Jefferson County does hereby establish the
following goals and objectives to guide development and
adoption of the 2003 Jefferson County Budget:
BUDGET PREPARATION
1. Budget requests shall be prepared in a consistent, citizen
friendly format that clearly identifies the resources
needed for each program, what services are being bought
through that program.
2. Departments shall prepare departmental budget requests
that include the standard Budget Accounting Reporting
System (BARS) financial request as well as a narrative and
such other information as appropriate to summarize the
program and financial needs of the department.
Expenditures shall be summarized by program and by major
object (salaries, benefits, supplies, etc.)
3. Departments shall prepare budgets following the standard
format provided to them in the Call For Budgets from the
County Auditor.
4. Each department shall prepare a narrative which shall
Jefferson County 2003 Budget Goals and Objectives
Page 3
include:
a) The department mission statement in a clear concise
statement telling why the organization exists.
b) The department's staffing requirements for the coming
year clearing indicating which staff positions are grant
supported.
c) The outcomes, with measures, expected to be obtained by
the program including impacts anticipated by increased
or decreased funding.
d) A description of how the program supports the county
strategic plan.
5. Departments shall also prepare program budget requests for
each department program in the same format as department
budgets.
FISCAL BUDGET OBJECTIVES
6. The budget, when adopted, will need to be balanced within
available resources. In addition to annual fiscal
objectives, efforts need to be made to look into the
future to meet long-term service needs.
7. Growth in General Fund property taxes shall not exceed 1%
plus taxes collected on new construction.
8. Growth in Road Fund property taxes shall not exceed 1%
plus taxes collected on new construction.
9. Consideration will be given to use of "banked capacity"
tax for one-time expenses that are for a specific
duration.
10. Departments shall prepare budgets which will yield the
best results for the revenue available.
11. Law and Justice related departments are encouraged to
prepare budgets in a collaborative way that will achieve
the best results. Two budgets will need to be prepared:
one within projected resource levels, and a second budget
including voter-approved local option sales tax.
12. Where programs are dependent on the continued availability
of grant support, departments need to indicate the
sustainability of the grant source and the implications of
Page 4
Jefferson County 2003 Budget Goals and Objectives
the grant funds being reduced or eliminated.
13. Where possible other departments are encouraged to
collaborate on budget preparation to achieve the best
results. Budgets will need to be within projected
resource levels.
14, A minimum reserve of 10% shall be maintained for all
operating funds. A minimum reserve of 25% shall be
maintained for the non-capital expenses of the Road Fund.
15. Revenues collected in excess of the minimum reserve shall
be held for one-time, special purpose needs that fulfill
strategic objectives of the county.
16. Departments with programs that are primarily funded with
permit and service fees shall prepare a summary of fee
revenue in relation to overall program costs and program
activities and outcomes.
17. Departments shall identify those program costs that are
directly resulting from a mandate from any state law or
agency rule that does not provide full funding for the
costs incurred along with any proposed legislative changes
that would eliminate the mandate or provide funding for
it.
REALIGNMENT OF BUDGET
18. The focus for the General Fund shall be for programs that
are primarily dependent on taxes and intergovernmental
revenues. These include Law and Justice related programs,
and general government. Other programs will be moved to
separate funds as appropriate. These include Cooperative
Extension, Animal Services, Parks & Recreation, and
Community Development.
19. The Natural Resources program shall be moved out of the
Health & Human Services Fund into a separate fund.
20. The Parks and Recreation Program shall be funded on a
short-term basis with the goal of the program to be
shifted to a voter-approved special purpose district for
long-term funding.
STRATEGIC BUDGET OBJECTIVES
21. Support an effective economic development strategy for

GENERAL FUND REVENUE FORECAST
TAXES
63.1% of Total
For purposes of preparing the following forecast, revenues
have been aggregated into resource categories as defined by
the State Auditor's Budget Accounting and Reporting System
(BARS). These categories are taxes; licenses and permits;
intergovernmental revenues; charges for goods and services;
fines and forfeits; miscellaneous revenues, sale of fixed
assets, and transfers in from other funds. Additional
breakdown has been added where appropriate to provide further
clarity. Following are tables and estimated revenue growth
factors.

The General Fund's primary source of revenue is taxes at
about 63%. Property tax (including diverted road taxes)
comprises the largest portion of tax collected.
Historical collections for property tax yield an annual
growth of 6.9%, which will decline steadily with property
tax limitations established by Initiative 747 adopted in
November, 2001. The growth is a combination of tax
increases imposed by the Board of Commissioners together
with taxes collected on new construction. Retail sales
and use tax is the second largest source of revenue for
the General Fund. Sales tax growth in 1998 was larger due
to large construction projects at Chimacum and Quilcene
Schools. The other taxes, timber harvest tax and excise

A comparison of the 2002 projected budget revenue and 2001
revenue received shows an overall increase in tax revenue of
0.9% compared to the originally budgeted growth of 3.3% as
shown in Table 2.
The Board of Commissioners adopted a 0% increase in property
taxes for 2002 which combined with tax on new construction
yielded an overall increase of about 3.1%1. Property tax
also includes a budgeted amount of $262,500 diverted from the
County Road levy.

The downturn in the state and local economy has had a
significant effect on retail sales tax revenue and timber
harvest taxes. Sales tax revenue, as shown in Chart 2 above,
is projected to be lower than budgeted for 2002 due to the
downturn in the state and local economy. Timber harvest tax
has dropped significantly due to reduced timber harvesting as
a result of poor timber prices. Excise taxes and penalties
1 Note: New construction accounts for 2.6% of the increase. The remaining
amount is collections from prior years' taxes.

Growth in taxes is primarily dependent on the levy amount
budgeted by the Board of Commissioners. Initiative 747 set a
growth limit of 1% for property taxes. Tax on new
construction is added to that amount, Because the Board of
Commissioners has not levied the maximum authorized by law in
prior years there is an amount of tax under this maximum that
the Board of Commissioners could levy. This amount commonly
referred to as "banked capacity" is around $500,000 for the
county levy and $225,000 for the county road levy. The Board
of Commissioners has complete discretion and authority to
levy any portion of that entire amount.
LICENSES AND PERMITS
License and Permit revenue primarily comes from building
permit revenue in the Department of Community Development
(DCD). Table 4 lists those departments that report this
revenue with DCD receiving about 90%,

A comparison of the 2002 adopted budget and 2001 revenue
received shows an overall increase in License and Permit
revenue of 19.7%. This is primarily due to an increase of
22.6% in building permit revenue from DCD. This projected
increase is due to an increase in fees adopted by the Board
of Commissioners early in 2002. The increase in fees offsets
lower revenue for 2001 which was 18% lower than 2000 due to
reduced permit activity. Revenue from the Sheriff's Office
is expected to exceed the budgeted amount at 3.2% above 2001
revenue levels.

expected to be on par with population growth and inflation
after the fee increase for 2002. This should yield a growth
factor for Licenses and Permits at 3% overall.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUE
12.6% of Total
Intergovernmental revenue is comprised of federal, state, and
local revenues. This source of revenue makes up about 12.6%
of the total General Fund revenue pie. These revenues come
in the form of shared revenues, grants, and interlocal
agreements. Revenue from federal sources is primarily the
Payments In Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program. PILT funding has
increased significantly over the past three years. Other
federal revenues are related to law and justice, salmon
recovery and marine resources.
The majority (about 70%) of intergovernmental revenue comes
from state sources. Most of the state funding is law and
justice related, including direct allocations for criminal
justice support, 1-695 MVET replacement funds (eliminated by
the state legislature), and grants. Other intergovernmental
revenue comes from interlocal agreements for services
primarily with the City of Port Townsend.

Table 8 shows a comparison of the 2001 revenue received and
the 2002 adopted budget which indicates an overall increase
in intergovernmental service revenue of 36.3%. This increase
is primarily due to an increase in criminal justice funding
for 2002 only. The state legislature eliminated this funding
for 2003. Revenues reported by Juvenile and Family Court
Services are a variety of state grants including Becca

Table 9, below, summarizes growth for intergovernmental
revenues for 2002. It is difficult to project growth in
intergovernmental services due to uncertainty in the state
budget. The state legislature has eliminated the I-695 MVET
replacement funds and could cut funding for local governments
further. Federal PILT funding has grown over the past two
years and is anticipated to be about 20% higher in 2002 than
budgeted. Continued funding for PILT is dependent on the
annual federal budget which the president has requested at a
lower level than authorized by Congress.
The forecast for 2003 should be adjusted downward by $240,000
with the loss of I-695 replacement funds and growth should be
set at 0%.

CHARGES FOR SERVICES
8.6% of Total
Charges for service revenue is comprised of those revenues
for recording of documents, court charges, development
reviews, etc. This revenue source represents about 8.6% of
General Fund revenue. Table 10, below, lists those
departments and collections for prior years. The largest
recipients of these revenues are the Auditor for motor
vehicle licenses, recording of documents and election
services, District Court for adult probation fees, and
Community Development for plan checking fees and other
development review fees. The amount listed under the
Treasurer is an internal cost allocation charge to other
departments.

A comparison of the 2001 revenue received and the 2002
adopted budget below shows an overall decrease in charges for
service revenue of 4.4%. This is primarily due to a decrease
in Elections revenue, which will increase or decrease
depending on the number of local elections held. For
forecasting purposes a growth rate of 2% is recommended.

A comparison of budget growth from 2001 revenues received to
2002 budget shows an anticipated increase in interest
revenues but this was an overly optimistic estimate. With
reductions in interest rates the projected revenue for 2002
is 25,1% lower than 2002 receipts (and 39.1% lower than

begin to go back up in 2003. An adjustment will need to be
made to account for interest revenue on the County Road Fund
due to a state auditor ruling that interest cannot be
diverted from the road fund. For forecasting purposes an
increase of 3% is recommended.

SALE OF FIXED ASSETS
Revenues received from the sale of fixed assets are from the
sale of timber from Jefferson County trust lands managed by
the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
This revenue source is somewhat cyclical based on market
conditions and amount of timber offered for sale. The
revenue for 2001 was significantly lower than 1998 through
2000, but 21% higher than 1997.

RESERVES
The Board of Commissioners by policy has established a 10%
reserve (about $1.2 million) for the General Fund. When the
budget needs additional funding a transfer in from reserves
has been budgeted. Transfers in are existing funds
transferred from reserves or other sources and as such are
not current year revenues and as such, no forecast has been
made for this revenue source. Historically the unencumbered
fund balance has gone up and down with the vagaries of
revenue receipts. As Table 18 shows below, the fund balance
is currently healthy and exceeds the amount required to meet
the 10% reserve policy.

In comparing revenue growth from 2000 to 2001 there are
several changes worth noting: lower license and permit
revenue, reductions in intergovernmental revenue, lower
interest revenue and lower revenue from sale of fixed assets.
These revenue changes, both increases and decreases, result
in an overall negative growth of 3.1%. The revenue budget
for 2002 was adopted with an anticipated increase of 4.4%
higher than 2001 actual revenue. After adjustments in the
forecast the projected revenue is 2.2% higher than 2001 but
considerably below the amount originally budgeted. This
forecast is higher than recently projected with increases in
sale of fixed assets (DNR trust land sales) and slightly
higher license and permit revenue.

REVENUE FORECAST
Jefferson County is experiencing lower than anticipated
growth in several resource categories. This coupled with
shortfalls in the state budget has created a negative growth
rate for 2001 and 2002. Assuming that the downturn in
revenue is complete, positive growth in revenue can be
anticipated although at a much slower rate than recently
experienced.
Based on the analysis above, growth in General Fund revenue
is forecasted for the next five years for each revenue
category. The net growth rate is 2.4% per year. There are
several issues that make the revenue forecast challenging.
These include Initiative 747 and its limit on revenue growth
from property taxes, lower investment returns, and the
availability of criminal justice funding from the state
budget.
Table 20 summarizes anticipated revenue growth for the next
five years.

Salaries and benefits make up approximately 60% of General
Fund expenditures. Growth in salaries and benefits is a
result of increases in costs for wages and benefits
together with increases in staffing levels. Overall growth
has been about 3.2%. This amount is lower than actual
growth in salaries and benefits due to budget restructuring
that moved the E-911 Dispatch program out of the General
Fund.

Intergovernmental service expenditures are for those
payments made to other government agencies. The small
amount in the General Fund budget is for payments made to
the City of Port Townsend for animal licenses collected by

CAPITAL OUTLAY
Capital outlay expenditures are one-time costs associated
with improvements to buildings, property acquisition, and
equipment. Typically, major capital improvements have not
been budgeted in the General Fund. Capital outlay in the
General Fund has primarily been for machinery and
equipment.

INTERFUND SERVICES
.~
,~
Interfund services are those services charged by
departments operating outside the General Fund for the
services those departments provide. These services include
professional services, communications, and equipment
rental. The majority of Interfund service costs, 98% in
2001, is comprised of equipment rental fees. The increased
cost in 1999 was due to the Tri-Area special study
conducted by the Public Works department.

TRANSFERS
12.6% of Total
The General Fund provides operating cash in the form of
transfers to other funds as part of their operating
revenues. Interfund transfers made up about 12.6% of the
budget in 2002. The largest on-going operating transfers
go to the Health & Human Services Fund (Substance Abuse,
Health Department, Natural Resources), the Community
Services Fund, and the E-9ll Dispatch Fund. Transfer
payments to Information Services and Facilities are now
budgeted in the Non-Departmental budget.

A comparison of the 2001 expenditures to the 2002 budget
shows an overall increase of 9.6%, It should be noted that
the 2001 budget was amended to provide for a transfer to E-
911 Dispatch for the new E-911 Dispatch Fund. The increase
for the 2002 budget includes capital project related
requests totaling $171,620, Mid-year budget reductions cut
several transfers resulting in an overall decrease of
10.5%, Transfers to Construction and Renovation and Health
and Human Services accounted for nearly 80% of the mid-year
cuts.

A forecast for transfers is difficult in that several are
for projects that may be for short duration. The need for
capital funding is greater than available funding in the
Capital Improvement Fund, For purposes of forecasting,
transfers will be set at the 2002 mid-year budget level
with a 0% growth factor,

EXPENDITURE FORECAST
Based on the analysis above, growth in General Fund
expenditures is forecasted for the next five years for each
expenditure category. The forecasted growth rate nets out
to 3.6% per year. This follows similar expenditure growth
for the past five years. The expenditure forecast is based
on the 2002 budget request with growth factors for 2003 to
2006.

GENERAL FUND BUDGET PLAN FOR 2003
The General Fund budget is the primary budget for Jefferson
County. This budget's primary focus is to provide for
General Government services and for Law and Justice
services. These services combine for about 65% of the
General Fund budget with the remainder providing for Public
Service programs, Non-departmental (overhead) and transfer
to other funds. County taxes are deposited into the
General Fund along with fees, grants, fines and other
revenues associated with these services. For purposes of
developing the General Fund Budget Plan services are
divided into primary functional areas: General Government;
Law and Justice; and Public Services. Following is an
analysis of these functional areas and proposed allocation
of resources for the 2003 budget.

The General Fund budget is broken into several departments
with specific responsibilities outlined by state law. The
following table summarizes the functional areas and
associated departments.

In addition to the above breakdown there is one other
budget, the Non-departmental budget, which is primarily
overhead items.
Table 2 summarizes expenditures for these functional areas
with the overhead (Non-departmental) budget calculated as a
percentage of the functional areas.
The annualized growth from 1997 to 2001 has been 5.1% for

the overall budget. This compares to an overall growth
rate of 2.8% for the General Government, 5.8% for Law and
Justice, and 2.1% for Public Services functional areas.
Operating Transfers have grown the most significantly with
an annualized increase of 12.0%.1 The Operating Transfers
budget as shown in this analysis does not include the E-911
Dispatch program which was moved out of the Sheriff's
budget and into a separate fund. This change in budgeting
understates the growth rate for Law and Justice programs.
For purposes of this analysis E-911 Dispatch has been
included with the Law and Justice functional area.

Chart 1, above, shows the allocation of costs for the
functional areas of the budget not including Non-
departmental and Operating Transfers. Nearly 60% of these
costs are related to Law and Justice programs.
Early in 2002,the Board of Commissioners made mid-year
budget cuts to keep expenditures within projected revenues.
1 Facilities and Information Services expenditures are reported as operating
transfers in 1997. These costs were moved to Non-departmental in 1998. For
purposes of this report these costs have been moved to the Non-departmental
budget for 1997 for comparison.

Table 4, above, summarizes the resources shared by all
functional areas. Taxes (property tax, timber excise tax,
and sales tax) account for the majority (about 83%) of
these resources. Reserves are included as necessary to
balance revenues with expenditures. Positive amounts
indicate the need to balance the budget with reserves while
negative amounts indicate funds going into reserves. The
three year period from 1998 through 2000 all had funds
going into reserves due to spending below authorized budget
levels.

the revenue comes from service charges collected by the
Auditor for licensing of vehicles and conducting local
elections. General Government historically uses about
18.7% of the shared resources for the General Fund.

Law and Justice offices historically are funded with a
variety of resources dedicated for their programs. The tax
that supports Law and Justice is a .1% local option sales
tax to support criminal justice programs. Grants make up
the largest source of revenues for these offices. Included
in the grant category is intergovernmental payments made by
the City of Port Townsend for regional services. The
largest grant source is the state which provides criminal
justice funding and 1-695 (MVET) replacement funds.
Historically, the Law and Justice offices are funded at
37.5% with dedicated resources with the remaining 62.5%
using about 40.5% of shared resources.
2 Note: For purposes of this analysis the operating transfer to E-911 Dispatch
is included in the Law and Justice totals.

Table 9 summarizes how shared revenues (listed in Table 4,
above) have been allocated to balance against expenditures
in each functional area. The amount listed for reserves
represents the amount taken from reserves (minus) and put
into reserves (plus) to balance out the allocation. The
Law and Justice functional area is allocated around 41% of
shared resources while all others are allocated between 10
and 20%. The amount allocated depends a great deal on the

level of resources received directly. Chart 2, below,
shows how grants influence the allocation of resources for
the Law and Justice programs. The chart shows how the
contribution from shared resources increased in 2001 with
the decline in grant income, which is primarily state
criminal justice funding.

Based on the analysis above, a proposed allocation for 2003
is shown below. Historically, the budget process focuses
on prior year expenditures rather than allocation of
resources. By adopting an allocation plan of shared
resources the departments can then add the resources
specific to their programs such as grants and fees to make
up the total level funding level.

BUDGET REALIGNMENT
Jefferson County has been able to balance its General Fund
budget over the past several years without much difficulty
due to a robust economy and traditional growth in property
taxes. Growth in revenues has declined in 2001 and 2000
due to the slow down in the economy and voter initiated
limits on property tax growth.
With lower forecasts for revenue growth it is prudent to
consider changes in how the General Fund budget is
structured so that priorities for program support can be
established and policies developed for how programs will be
supported in the future.
For the 2002 the Board of Commissioners established a
policy to have certain Public Service programs to be
primarily fee supported and established a fee structure
intended to recover 100% of direct operating costs and 75%
of direct administrative costs (continual analysis is
needed to determine whether this goal has been met). This
2003 budget plan continues with that same policy and
expands it to restructure the General Fund budget by moving
these programs in to separate funds with the General Fund
focus remaining on General Government and Law and Justice
programs.
Table 12, below, lists those departments/programs that
would be budgeted separate from the General Fund and
receive funding by an operating transfer.

The above budget realignment would be a significant change
and would require additional analysis to determine the
impact on budget management and accounting. The above
allocation in Table 11 would now have Public Service
functions included in the totals for Operating Transfers as
shown in Table 13 below.
