DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN

EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: $4,146,193
BUDGET CATEGORY: Breakdown attached
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Each year budget amendments are proposed to reflect unforeseen expenditures that have
occurred since the original budget was adopted. For the 2015 budget, 66% percent of the
amendments are for inter-fund transfers for cash flow purposes, closing out of two funds
and to move operation reserves to capital improvement funds. The remaining 34% is
due to unexpected expenditure activity, the majority of which is offset by an increase in
revenues and paid for by grants and donations.
HISTORY:
Council has been aware of the expenditure activity and has reviewed and approved the
expenditures throughout 2015.
ALTERNATIVES
State law requires budget amendments be approved prior to the end of the fiscal year. If
the budget amendments are not approved by year end, the City will be out of
compliance with state law.

more funds, an amendment is needed, NOW THEREFORE,

AS FOLLOWS;
Section 1. Pursuant to RCW 35A.33.090, an emergency is declared to exist and the 2015 Budget is

LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
A recently appointed member of the lodging tax advisory committee has become
ineligible to serve as a committee member. The ineligibility of this member has been
confirmed by City legal counsel. Staff has been unable to confirm with the committee
member that they will voluntarily resign their position on the committee, therefore staff
is recommending a public hearing be held to remove this individual from the committee.
An application has been received by Ruth Caesar, President of the Stillaguamish Valley
Genealogical Society to replace a member on the lodging tax advisory committee that has
recently become ineligible to serve. An interview was conducted and the interview
panel recommends the appointment of Ruth Caesar to the committee. Her term will
expire April 1, 2017.
City of Arlington
Council Agenda Bill
Item:
NB #1
Attachment
C
HISTORY:
On November 16, 2015, the Council appointed two members to the lodging tax advisory
committee, Vicki Johnson and Eric Stroschein. Subsequent to that appointment, Mr.
Stroschein became ineligible to serve on the committee as he is no longer participating in
the organization that qualified him as eligible (Stillaguamish Genealogical Society). In
addition, the organization to which Mr. Stroschein is currently serving, the Association
of Professional Genealogists, does not qualify for funding as they do not have any active
events within the City of Arlington. State law and Arlington Municipal Code require
that the committee be comprised equally of members who represent businesses require
to collect the tax and members who are involved in funded activities (eligible to receive
funding). Legal counsel confirmed that “if the organization to which the member
belongs is not engaged in local events, the organization presumably is not eligible for
lodging tax funding because of the prohibition against the City making gifts of public
funds; consequently the member would not be eligible to serve on the committee”.
Going forward, we will update our process which will require applicants to provide a
letter of recommendation from the organization they are representing to confirm the
member is in good standing.
ALTERNATIVES
Reject staff recommendation.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
The first motion will read: “I move to repeal the appointment of Eric Stroschein from the
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee”.
The second motion will read: “I move to confirm the appointment of Ruth Caesar to the
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee”.

Proposed Cost of Living Adjustment
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN
Administration / Human Resources
EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: $23,649.27
BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
In conjunction with the budget process and the recent adoption of two collective
bargaining agreements, Administration and Human Resources are proposing a cost of
living adjustment (COLA) for the City’s non-represented employees not under contract.
Consistent with the recent settlements with the IAFF Local No. 3728 and the Arlington
Police Officer’s Association, we are recommending a COLA of 3.5% retroactive to July 1,
2015 and COLA of 1.6% beginning January 1, 2016. Because the COLA for 2015 is for a
half year, the actual COLA is 1.75% over the whole year. The cost of the COLAs were
assumed in the development of the 2015 and 2016 budgets.
HISTORY:
The last cost of living adjustment (COLA) for non-represented employees was in January
1, 2009.
ALTERNATIVES
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to approve the proposed Cost of Living Adjustment for Non-Represented
Employees for 2015 and 2016.

connection fee was not reassessed.
