Amending Sections of the International Fire Code (IFC) to more accurately clarify and address some areas that have been problematic due to interpretation.

The proposed amendments to the IFC will add clarity to the code requirements and help eliminate discrepancies caused by code interpretation from developers/designers. Proposed new sections to Title 15 AMC are being included for the following purposes: 15.12.040-Fire or Explosion Damaged Buildings; provides for a succinct process to address buildings damaged by fire or explosion, i.e. REMYXD building in Smokey Point. 15.12.050-Mobile Food Preparation Vehicles; provides clarity to a common question by food truck operators and helps support our fire self-inspection program. 15.24.40-Fire Sprinkler Systems; this provides for the requirement to have sprinkler systems installed in all new construction, including one- and two-family dwellings.

The overall increase went down from 3% growth in March to 2% growth in April. Retail is 4% lower than this time last year. Construction, services, wholesale and information industries are all up however it takes a significant increase in other industries to offset the decrease in retail. Manufacturing declined 11% but that’s less than $5,000 so not significant in terms of dollar amount. Transportation and agriculture also had minimal decline. We’re 4% below budget through April.

The fund balance is healthy at $245,000. Fund balance and current projected revenue will not impact the 2026 grant period. Additionally, 2nd and 3rd quarter tends to be the largest revenue months so I expect revenue will hit budget projections by year end. Cemetery Fund: The fund balance continues to be monitored closely. Fund balance was $283 for the month of April. Transfers from the general fund so far this year are about $5,600. Transportation Sales Tax Fund: Follows the same trend as general fund sales tax. Revenue is down 2% from this time last year. Fund balance is $4.4 million and planned spending for 2025 is $3.1 million. 2025 projects won’t be affected by the slow down in revenue. If revenue continues to experience slow growth or starts to decline, projets for the the next biennium could be impacted. $- $20,000.00 $40,000.00 $60,000.00 $80,000.00 $100,000.00 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Lodging Tax YTD $- $100,000.00 $200,000.00 $300,000.00 $400,000.00 $500,000.00 $600,000.00 $700,000.00 $800,000.00 $900,000.00 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 TBD Sales Tax YTD REET Funds: Year to date revenue in the REET (real estate excise tax) funds are below budget but fund balances for both funds are about to meet current debt obligations (Graafstra land purchase and N. Olympic improvements). These funds are typically reserved for use when no alternative sources of funding is available. Projects must also be included in the city’s comprehensive plan to be eligible for REET funding. Utility Storm Liens: Thirty-two letters were sent to customers that were delinquent on their storm accounts. Letters were sent to accounts with balances of $100 or more, with no payment history and/or have been outstanding for more than 6 months. Some of those accounts have paid and some have entered into payment arrangements. May 12th was the deadline to pay or enter into a payment arrangement.
