DESCRIPTION:
In August 2014, the City issued refunding bonds to reduce interest costs and improve the
City’s bond rating. In September 2014, the finance director retired. During the
retirement transition, recording of the bond issuance in the accounting system was
overlooked. The accounting error did not impact ending fund balances, nor impact the
City’s cash position but did impact the need for a final budget amendment, for the
general fund, at the end of 2014. The accounting error was discovered subsequent to
year end so a budget amendment could not be approved in a timely manner. Corrective
action has been taken as well as a change in procedure to prevent future errors. See
executive summary for a more detailed description.
HISTORY:
See attached executive summary.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Workshop; discussion only.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2014 the City took steps to increase its bond rating, reduce bond interest costs and retire
interest only debt in favor of debt that can be reduced through making principal payments. As
a means to achieve these efforts, the City issued refunding bonds in August 2014.
Shortly after the bond issuance, the finance director retired. At that time, it was customary
practice to record various types of financial data (including debt) on spreadsheets that were
external to the accounting system. The spreadsheets were then used to record the data into
the accounting system. During the retirement transition, the bond issuance was overlooked and
not recorded into the accounting system. The transaction should have been recorded to reflect
an increase in revenues representing bond proceeds (the refunding bonds) and a corresponding
increase in expenses representing the bonds that were paid off (the refunded bonds).
The accounting error resulted in revenues and expenditures exceeding original budget
appropriations in the general fund. The accounting error did not impact ending fund balances
nor did it negatively impact any other funds. Please refer to the chart for illustration of the
general fund’s beginning and ending fund balance before and after the accounting error;
ORIGINAL
Beg. Fund Balance Revenues Expenditures Ending Fund Balance
505,494 13,611,538 (13,109,456)1,007,576
CORRECTED
505,494 20,353,587 (19,851,505)1,007,576
This chart shows the difference between final approved appropriations and actual expenses
after the accounting error was recorded;
ORIGINAL
Final Appropriations Actual Expenses Variance
13,235,530 11,964,256 1,271,274
CORRECTED
13,235,530 19,851,505 (6,615,975)
The error was found during preliminary audit procedures and immediately corrected, however
because the error was found subsequent to year end, a legal budget amendment could not be
adopted in a timely manner. State statute requires all budget amendments be approved before
fiscal year end. The error will most likely result in a financial statement finding once the audit is
complete.
It is the priority of the finance department to maintain high standards and accuracy, therefore
the following procedures have been changed to prevent future errors; elimination of external
spreadsheets to record financial data, consultation with other accounting professionals when
unusual transactions occur, continuing education for finance department staff, and an
enhanced financial statement review process.

2015 June Financial Report – Kristin Garcia, Finance Director
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund Ending Fund Balance was $1,667,809. We’ve received 52.61% of property taxes
with the next large payment expected in November. Based on historical trends, the City is collecting
100% of its tax levy, therefore we’re on track to meet the amount budgeted of $3,920,000.
Retail sales tax dollars (1%) received in the General Fund YTD (Jan ‐ June 2015) are $1,751,634 which
is approximately $124,789 more than the amount received for the same time period in 2014. Based
on historical collection trends of actual revenue received and the percentage collected of budget
the past 3 years, I estimate 2015 sales tax collections to be 3% higher than what we collected last
year and 1% over what we budgeted.
Utility taxes (combined) received YTD (Jan – June 2015) are $1,537,829, about $29,849 less than
what was received during this time period in 2014. This is because both natural gas and telephone
taxes are lower than last year. Most likely natural gas is lower due to the unusually warm weather
we’ve had since early in the year. As we’ve noted before, telephone taxes are on a decline as
people are removing their land lines in favor of cell phones. We’ll need to consider this trend as we
begin developing the 2016 budget.
Gambling taxes have already exceeded the budget by $865.78. Gambling tax revenues by year end
in 2014 also exceeded the budget by over $20,000. As we begin to build the budget for 2016, we’ll
need to consider whether a slight increase is appropriate.
Building permit revenues are 53% of budget and we are on track to reach our revenue target.
Revenues YTD June 2015 were $79,536 as compared to YTD June 2014 of $36,919. Although the
number of permits issued is consistent with last year, the increase in revenue in 2015 resulted from
larger projects such as Smokey Point Distributing and Arlington Chevrolet. This is also consistent
with the revenue increase we see in the Growth Management Fund for traffic mitigation fees.
Miscellaneous revenues have exceeded budget by over $24,000. We’ve received $17,000 YTD in K‐9
donations with $10,000 of that amount from Roy Robinson. We received another $5,000 in July
from the Stillaguamish Tribe.
2
OTHER FUNDS
Growth Management has received $477,102 YTD in traffic mitigation fees as compared to $18,152
for the same time period in 2014. The large increase resulted from two major projects, Arlington
Chevrolet and Smokey Point Distributing. The fund balance as of June 30, 2015 was $1,947,765.
Emergency Medical Services Fund has received $502,317 in transport fees and $492,113 in property
taxes YTD June 2015. Payments have also been received from District #25 and District #19. Ending
Fund balance in the EMS fund was $203,799 at the end of June.
INVESTMENTS
As of June 30, 2015, the City has $21.4 million in investments. $2 million of that amount are in
Certificates of Deposit held with Skagit State Bank. $3.5 million is held in the Local Government
Investment Pool with the Washington State Treasurer’s Office. The remaining amount is held in
various investments with Time Value Investments, a brokerage firm the City uses to help manage its
investments. The City has received $117,288 in investment interest through June 30, 2015. Interest
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.

My family and I have been a utilizing the Arlington library on a regular basis for 30 years. In
addition to the physical library collection, we have taken advantage of digital content and the many
programs offered to patrons from library story time for toddlers through adult programs.
We don't just love the Arlington library, we visit libraries everywhere when we travel around the
country on vacation. From tiny small town libraries, to Carnegie libraries, to big city libraries, we
love them all.
The skills I would bring to the board include a 30 year familiarity with the town of Arlington and
knowledge of programs that appeal to various ages (I have 8 children with ages from 1-22). I am
extremely organized and put a priority on following through with my commitments. For the past four
years I have been managing an all volunteer produce co-op. I am responsible for all aspects of the
co-op including: managing the finances, placing orders, creating spreadsheets, supervising
volunteers, dealing with grievances and recruiting new members.
I believe I would be a valuable member of the library board.

Background/Experience/Interest
I am an avid taphophile. I love wandering cemeteries, looking at the artwork on the stones, reading
about the people interred there, and learning about the history of an area through the eyes of the
past. Preserving cemeteries is one of the most important things a community can do to keep the
history of the community alive, to be passed along to future generations. I developed my love for
cemeteries in the 9th grade, when Mrs. Jacks, my History teacher, assigned the class to do a
cemetery study. We had just moved to the area, and by doing a cemetery study, I learned quite a
bit about the community's history and the people who were there before me. And that sparked a
love for cemeteries that continues to this day.
I have wandered several cemeteries in Washington State. I believe the oldest I have wandered
is the one at Lake McMurray. In 2002, George Groesbeck from troop 4057 as an Eagle Scout
Project, cleaned up and mapped the cemetery (http://lakemcmurraycemetery.weebly.com/). I so
enjoyed visiting that cemetery. Even though it is right next to Hwy. 9, it is a peaceful spot to rest.
I grew up in Alabama, spending my summers in Spring City, Tennessee where my mother grew
up. Spring City is a little town right by Watts Bar Lake. The old Porter, McClendon, and Spring City
Cemeteries, where my great-great-grandparents and great-grandparents, great aunts and uncles,
and cousins from both sides of the family, and now my grandparents, are buried, are in the Spring
City area. These old family cemeteries expanded my love of wandering among the stones and
reading about the people interred there. From them, I learned quite a bit about my family, as well
as the early peoples of Spring City. According to the stones I read, my family has been in Spring
City since the early 1800s.
I like to read, crochet, sew and embroider. I enjoy camping, and spending time outdoors.
Recently, my husband and I have taken up metal detecting. That is one hobby that is both fun and
full of exercise!
Joseph and I have been married for 30+ years. We have a son, Jason, who is married with two
sons of his own. They live in Alabama. Joe and I have lived in Arlington proper since May of 2002.
Before 2002 we lived in Smokey Point. We have lived in Washington State since 1998.
I know nothing about being on a cemetery board. I will bring to the table a love for cemeteries,
the history and stories they have to tell, and a willingness to study and learn what is needed for me
to fulfill my duties. I will work to preserve the Arlington Cemetery as it is today. I will open my eyes
to look to the future, so that the needs of the public who will use the cemetery can be met.
