FROM: Mark McCauley, County Administrator
DATE: December 5, 2022
SUBJECT: Message for the 2022-2023 Jefferson County Mid-Biennium Review and Modification
I am pleased to transmit to the Board of County Commissioners the 2022-2023 Jefferson County Mid-
Biennium Review and Modification. This is Jefferson County’s second Mid-Biennium Review and
Modification Budget. The Board approved Ordinance 03-0311-19 on March 11, 2019, adopting
biennial budgeting to free up capacity in elected offices and county departments by eliminating one
full budget formulation cycle and replacing it with a much simpler mid-biennium review and
modification. By all measures this change continues to achieve its desired objectives.
The Mid-Biennium Review and Modification allows departments to modify the budget for the second
year of the biennial budget previously adopted by the Board of County Commissioners. Modifications
are typically needed to adjust for changed economic conditions, personnel changes, new revenues
being made available by granting agencies and other external influences.
The County Commissioners will hold a hybrid public hearing on the Final 2022-2023 Mid-Biennium
th
Review and Modification on Monday, December 5 at 10:30 a.m. in the Commissioners’ Chambers.
th
The Commissioners are tentatively scheduled to take final action on December 12.
Elected officials and department directors developed the 2022-2023 Mid-Biennium Review and
Modification using the best information available in the summer and fall of 2022.

The County’s expenditure budgets for calendar years 2022 (through the 3 Quarter Supplemental)

This memorandum offers highlights about the 2022-2023 Mid-biennium Review and Modification, and
describes a number of the County’s strategic opportunities and challenges in the years ahead.
We continue to live in interesting times. We are finally emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Although people are still contracting Covid-19 and masking and vaccinations remain important, the
worst of the pandemic seems to be behind us. That said, we have been through an extraordinary
three years. Our Public Health and Emergency Management Departments performed magnificently
during the pandemic – doing everything humanly possible to protect our community. We owe them a
debt of gratitude. We also owe County workforce for stepping up to successfully serve our citizens
during this difficult time. We also thank our citizens for taking the pandemic seriously and adopting
the masking and distancing requirements to keep transmission and death rates low compared to most
other Washington communities. Few can fully appreciate how COVID impacted the ways we deliver
services to them.
We emerged from the pandemic in sound financial shape due to robust revenue streams. Even so,
there are serious threats on the horizon. High rates of inflation and rapidly rising interest rates have
dramatically increased the cost of doing business and have dramatically increased the likelihood of a
recession.
As we move into 2023, we are hopeful that we can avoid the recession that many financial experts are
predicting and maintain the positive revenue trends we’ve experienced during the pandemic. This
Mid-Biennium Review and Modification was prepared with a cautious view of the future. The Board of
County Commissioners issued conservative budget guidance earlier in the year, and our elected
officials and department directors did a great job complying.
Overview
This Mid-biennium Review and Modification represents as close to a status quo budget as can be
reasonably achieved. Salaries and benefits are static as our collective bargaining agreements have no
cost of living pay adjustments for 2023 – although step increases and longevity payments continue as
usual. Increases in non-salaries and benefits portion of the budgets were increased by only 1.5% - half
of our typical annual increases. This is also true of general fund transfers to other funds. This reflects
the Board’s conservative budget guidance issued earlier in the year.
5-Year Budget Strategy
TABLE 1 on the next page shows our General Fund Projection Model. It projects revenues and
expenditures for the coming year and four years beyond based on budgeted programs and levels of
service. We use the Model to inform budgetary strategies of changes we may need to make in the
coming year, or budget adjustments we foresee needing to make in future years to manage the
budget responsibly.
The current version of the Model shows that the County’s fiscal condition remains solid going forward,
provided we don’t see a recession which could adversely affect revenues.

On July 22, 2019, the County Commissioners adopted Resolution 041-19 and Resolution 040-19 which
established a General Fund Reserve goal equal to 15% of total expenditures. Said reserve is comprised
of 10% for routine short-term cyclical cash flow needs plus 5% for longer term revenue stabilization.
This larger cushion will buy additional time and flexibility in how the County responds to major
financial disruptions.
TABLE 1: 2023 BUDGET PROJECTION & FIVE-YEAR BUDGET OUTLOOK
This 5-year budget forecast for the General Fund includes very few ongoing budget enhancements.
The small number of enhancements reflects the County’s conservative approach required by
economic forecasts predicting a recession in 2023. These General Fund enhancements are discussed
below.
Approved Additions to the 2022-2023 Biennial Budget
General Fund
Base budget expenditures in 2023 include a 1.5% increase for non-personnel line items, annual pay
step increases and longevity payments for eligible employees. There is no general wage cost of living
adjustment for staff in 2023. The Budget also includes a 1.5% increase in transfers in 2023 from the
General Fund to support public services in other funds such as Parks and WSU Extension. Based on a
newly adopted policy adopted by the Board, transfers to Public Health and Community Development
were marginally reduced based on a financial needs analysis. Should the need arise, these two
transfers can be revisited and increased should a genuine need arise. These transfers to other funds
3 of 11
from the General Fund are to sustain existing public services, and they are a partial offset to ground
lost to inflation.
In January 2023, we will start a new collective bargaining cycle with a number of our bargaining units.
We anticipate that our bargaining units will focus on cost of living increases due to the 40-year high
inflation rates we’ve experienced.
Across all funds we see an increase of just over 7 full time equivalent employees. For a detailed
Staffing Schedule, see ATTACHMENT 3 to this memo.
Major County Challenges and Opportunities
What might be the most significant challenge is the destructive inflation rate - about 7.5
percent for all of 2022 up from 1.4% in January 2021. This has two corrosive effects: one is
that the services the County needs to provide cost much more than in the past; the second
is that our employees are suffering significantly reduced purchasing power and look to the
County to help them keep up – which the County is ill-equipped to do.
The County has been challenged on the employee recruiting and retention front. The
County took some major steps to improve compensation for our employees in our last
collective bargaining cycle. This included eliminating the bottom two pay steps and adding
another step at the top. This resulted in every employee (the majority of employees)
receiving two steps in one year. We also approved a 9% cost of living pay adjustment in the
first year of our most recent agreements. Sadly, this progress has been erased by raging
inflationary cost increases. In addition, our sister governments and the private sector have
been increasing pay at even higher rates putting our County at a competitive disadvantage.
Extraordinary pandemic related revenues: During 2021-2022 the County received
approximately $7.95 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding. The County put these
funds to very good use making major investments in local high priority projects, examples
of which follow:
o OlyCAP: $1,500,000 for Caswell Brown Outdoor Shelter
o Jefferson County PUD No. 1: $900,000 for Broadband
o Jefferson County Public Works: $650,000 for Hadlock Sewer
o City of Port Townsend: $500,000 for Evans Vista
o EDC Team Jefferson: $500,000 for Business Assistance Grants
o Habitat for Humanity: $500,000 for Hadlock Affordable Housing
o Fort Worden PDA: $378,000 for Debt Reserve/Capital Projects
o Olympic Peninsula YMCA: $290,000 for Childcare Facility
o Port of Port Townsend: $150,000 for Hydraulic Boat Lift
o City of Port Townsend: $100,000 for Community Health and Wellness Center
o KPTZ Radio: $65,000 for Morgan Hill Radio Tower
4 of 11
The County has received significant State funding for the Hadlock Sewer project which is in
final design. While this is encouraging, significant commodity price inflation makes full
funding for that project uncertain. Public Works is seeking additional funding from the
state to close the funding gap. The County has committed $1,945,000 of ARPA revenue to
funding this worthy project.
A related priority is extending the Distressed Rural County 0.09% sales tax contribution
from the State for infrastructure that supports economic development, which is scheduled
to expire in 2032. This is also a priority of our sister jurisdictions as they are eligible to
receive funding for important local projects.
As provided in House Bill 1590 the County adopted an Affordable Housing sales tax (of
th
1/10 of 1%) on December 21, 2020 and effective April 1, 2021, which is providing about
$600K/year for affordable housing and supportive services. The initial $600,000 helped
th
fund OlyCAP’s 7 Hendricks affordable housing project, which is nearing completion. The
County awarded OlyCAP $440,000 in 1590 funds through an RFP process in the summer of
2022 for a worthy housing project.
The County continues its collaboration with the City of Port Townsend, the Port of Port
Townsend, and the Jefferson County Public Utilities District No. 1 though the
Intergovernmental Collaborative Group (ICG) and other groups, all designed to ensure that
goals and objectives reflect a collaborative approach to meeting our community’s
challenges and solving problems. This group has proven its worth and will been extended
through December 31, 2023.
Our County Road Fund continues to struggle with its structural revenue challenges due to
property tax growth not keeping up with construction inflation. The County continues to
reduce the diversion of Road Fund property taxes to the General Fund as it dropped from
$720,000 to $670,000 in 2022 and will be further reduced to $620,000 in 2023. Our
professional Road Fund staff will continue to leverage those dollars to secure additional
grants for capital road projects and to help maintain and preserve County road
infrastructure.
Structural Funding Gap:
We continue to labor under the 1% property tax increase limitation. While a problem every
year, the problem has been magnified significantly by the 40-year high inflation we are
experiencing – 7.5% for 2022. Maintaining service levels in a high inflation environment
will be difficult, if not impossible.
To maintain essential county services to residents, we continue to ask the State Legislature to
provide local government the tools to fund government services for our residents.
Compliance Opinion & Basis for Budget Preparation
5 of 11
The 2022-2023 Mid-biennium Review and Modification complies with all statutory and constitutional
requirements, and substantially complies with adopted County ordinances and resolutions, including:
Resolution No. 38-22, setting Objectives and Procedures for the 2022-2023 County Mid-
biennium Review and Modification;
Resolution No. 32-10, directing that Proposition 1 funds be used to retain or provide certain
listed programs and projects or similar programs and projects within available funding.
Resolution No. 41-19, which, following the rescinding of Resolution 38-10, which established a
Revenue Stabilization Reserve, increased the recommended General Fund reserve from 10% to
15%.
Each fund is projected to meet the minimum recommended reserve, established by Resolution
41-19.
Other Notes
Revenue: This 2022-2023 Mid-Biennium Review and Modification includes:
o the allowable 1% property tax revenue increase for the Road Fund
o the allowable 1% property tax revenue increase for the General Fund,
o the allowable 1% property tax revenue increase for the Conservation Futures Fund,
o the base local sales tax of 1%
o the 0.1% sales tax for Criminal Justice to the General Fund
o the 0.3% special purpose sales tax to the General Fund approved by the voters in November,
2010 (Prop. 1)
o the 0.1% sales tax for Mental Health/Chemical Dependency
o the 0.1% sales tax for JeffCom 911
o the 0.1% sales tax for Affordable Housing
The 2023 level of “diversion” of Road Fund property tax to the General Fund is reduced by
$50,000 to $620,000 in 2023 following another $50,000 reduction in 2022 after holding steady at
$720,000 for many years. The amount diverted from the Road Fund is less than the amount of
money budgeted to be expended for traffic law enforcement by the Sheriff in 2023.
The County’s debt position remains solid. Since retiring the Castle Hill property acquisition debt in
2021, the county has incurred no new debt and has substantial debt capacity. The County will be
evaluating its ability to assume new debt to help finance some needed capital facilities. The chart
below shows the County’s current and projected principal and interest payments through 2030.

Conclusion
This Mid-biennium Review and Modification represents our cautious approach to the future. We are
facing significant uncertainties and challenges, including a likely recession. Our hope is that we can
sustain the improvements we’ve made in the face of these uncertainties.
Many other individuals in every branch and department of our organization work hard to prepare the
budget submissions for the Board’s consideration. Particular recognition and my personal thanks go
to Rose Ann Carroll, Jeff Chapman, Carolyn Gallaway, Adiel McKnight, Sarah Melancon, Stacie Prada,
Julie Shannon, Veronica Shaw, Judy Shepherd, Renee Talley and Cathy Taylor.
Jefferson County is losing some distinguished public servants as we move towards 2023. Our Auditor,
Rose Ann Carroll, and our Clerk, Ruth Gordon, are retiring after decades of public service for which we
thank them. They are being followed by new elected public servants: Amanda Hamilton as our new
Clerk and Brenda Huntingford as our new Auditor. We wish them well in their new roles. We
reluctantly say farewell to our outstanding Juvenile and Family Court Department Director, Barbara
Carr. Fortunately, she has prepared her office well for her departure. We are also losing our Superior
Court Judge, Keith Harper, to a well-deserved retirement in January 2023. We thank him for his
service to our county and the cause of justice.
