Background/Experience/Interest
I used to live and work as an architect (at Minaker Architecture) in Arlington about 5 years ago. At
that time I had an active interest in the quality of urban spaces and architecture in town and was a
Planning Commissioner from 2008 - 2010. The recession forced me and my family to find work
elsewhere (Alaska) at that time.
I have now started a new job in Stanwood (Pelletier + Schaar) and have moved back to Arlington
because our family really enjoyed living here in the past. I'm interested in continuing my service on
the Planning Commission.

2015 April Financial Report ‐ Roxanne Guenzler, Interim Finance Director
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund Ending Balance for April totaled $455,325. The fund collected $255,957 more
than was spent in April. Retail Sales Tax dollars (1%) received in the General Fund in April (from
February sales) was approximately $35,285 more than the amount received for the same month in
2014.
Natural Gas Use Tax and Natural Gas Utility Tax are both on track. We expect the receipts to
decrease in the upcoming months as the weather warms.
Building permits also saw an increase in April due to Smokey Point Distributing obtaining permit.
Permits are currently at 38.6% of budget.
Liquor Excise Tax has already surpassed current projection. There are several bills in legislature that
could affect 2016, both positively and negatively.
OTHER FUNDS
Emergency Medical Services Fund received $79,880 in transport fees in April. This fund did not
require an Interfund Loan in April. We anticipate the EMS fund will be able to pay back majority if
not all of the loan when the majority of property taxes are received in May.
Motor Vehicle Excise (fuel) taxes received in the Street Fund through April totaled $117,335, about
30.5% of the budgeted amount of $385,000. This is close to meeting expected revenue projections.
Transportation Benefit District received $61,640 in April (February sales) which is the right on
target with 33.9% of revenue collected.
INVESTMENTS
Staff will provide 2nd quarter investment interest earnings in July. The interest income is distributed
monthly based on individual fund balances.
Following is the usual charts for some of the major revenue sources and operating statements for
each fund.
