PROFILE
City of Arlington
Arlington, Washington, incorporated in 1903, is a city with a rich farming and timber history in the
Stillaguamish River Valley. Nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains near the Salish Sea,
Arlington combines the best of northwest living with easy access to urban centers and outdoor
activities.
Arlington strives to be a live-work community with employment opportunities for residents. With
industrial, commercial, and retail areas, as well as a variety of housing and residential options. The city
boasts a high jobs-to-population ratio (2.2 jobs per residence), and is home to a wide variety of
aerospace, high tech manufacturing, construction, and green technology enterprises. The Arlington-
Marysville Cascade Industrial Center is the second largest concentration of manufacturing businesses
in Snohomish County.
With an estimated population of 22,980, in 2024, Arlington has experienced continued growth over the
years, increasing population by approximately 3,500 residents over the last 10 years. In April 2024
Arlington was 8th out of the top 10 cities and towns with an increase of 1.3% from the previous year.
People and businesses are drawn to the area by the availability of suitable property, access to
employment and exceptional public schools, and proximately to rural areas. With the City's location

November 4, 2024
Honorable City Council and Members of our Community:
I am pleased to present the 2025/2026 biennial budget, the first biennial budget during my tenure as Mayor. I want
to thank City Council, commission members, City staff and the community for helping shape the City’s vision and
making Arlington a great place to work and live. The City’s budget was developed based on Council’s strategic
priorities, along with feedback I’ve received from the community. The strategic priorities are based on three focus
areas: public safety, fiscal sustainability and economic development. The strategic objectives and action steps are
included in the pages following this message.
GENERAL OUTLOOK
The last couple of budgets have been through a period of significant growth with increasing revenues. We’ve also
been through a pandemic which created disruption, economic challenges and an opportunity for innovation and
efficiency. We’re now facing a period of continued inflation, higher interest rates and a slowdown in the local
economy. The 2025/2026 budget wasn’t built without challenges, we’re seeing a slowdown in sales tax revenue
which represents about 34% of general fund revenue and supports most of the City’s general government services.
Even with those challenges, no cuts were necessary to balance the 2025/2026 budget. In fact, the City plans to
make increases in public safety and maintenance and operations, with the expectation that the slowdown is
temporary, and we’ll see an uptick in revenue early 2025. Although we are facing an economic slowdown, the
overall outlook is positive. Over the past few years, the City has been a good steward of taxpayer dollars by building
and maintaining strong reserves, managing budgets, and not using one time revenue to support long term costs, all
of which has put us in a position to maintain and enhance service levels and deliver excellent service to the
community.
BUDGET OVERVIEW
The biennial budget includes total City revenues of $83 million in 2025 and $80 million in 2026. The difference in
revenue between 2025 and 2026 is because of expected grant revenue for transportation and airport projects.
Total City expenditures in 2025 are $94 million and $82 million in 2026. The City is planning significant investment
in infrastructure with the help from grant revenue and accumulated reserves. About $21 million is planned for
transportation projects, $3 million in facility improvements, $1.2 million in park projects, $3.2 million to maintain
equipment, stay current with technology and protect against cyber threats. The budget also includes $8.7 million
in airport projects and an investment of $29 million in utility projects to maintain and update current infrastructure
and to plan for future capacity and development.
General fund revenues are projected at about $24 million for both years in the biennium with little revenue growth
expected. General fund expenses are projected at $24 million in 2025 and $26 million in 2026. Although expenses
exceed revenue in 2026, the City’s ending fund balance will maintain its 2-month operating reserve. The expense
increase in 2026 is an investment in public safety and maintenance and operations. About 76% of the general fund
MAYOR'S 2025-2026 BUDGET MESSAGE
2
budget is from tax revenue, the majority of which comes from property taxes, retail sales taxes and utility taxes.
46% of the general fund budget is spent on public safety.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Public safety is a critical service provided by the City and remains a high priority. This budget includes hiring
additional staff at the police department and investing in advanced technologies to improve efficiencies and
enhance the daily work of our police officers. The City also plans to invest in neighborhood traffic calming programs
and other transportation projects to improve the safety of our streets and pedestrian walkways.
FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY
The key to fiscal health is balancing immediate needs with long term sustainability. The 2025/2026 budget reflects
the City’s commitment to being good stewards of taxpayer dollars by careful planning to make sure we live within
our means and making strategic investments to keep the City moving forward. A part of our work to ensure the
long-term success of the City is to update the City’s 10-year financial forecast, stay current with financial policies
and maintain required reserves.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
A thriving economy and recreational space are the foundation of a strong community. The budget includes
investments that will foster job growth by creating the necessary infrastructure for development and provide
funding for additional outdoor recreational space. To promote and manage economic development within
Arlington, the City will complete its update to the Comprehensive Plan and Airport Master Plan which outlines the
City’s implementation strategies that guide future development over a long-term horizon. The City also plans to
enhance its outdoor space by creating a dog park and a bike pump track by leveraging local dollars with grant funds.
Significant investments will also be made in transportation, utilities, and a continuation of our fiber program. This
will allow businesses and residents to have access to safe roads, clean drinking water and technology.
CONCLUSION
I want to express my gratitude to all those who participated in the budget process. The budget creates the
framework of how we invest in the community to build a safe and vibrant place to live, work and play. I thank the
citizens for trusting me to move the City forward and be part of a community that we can all be proud of!
Sincerely,
Mayor Don Vanney

About the Budget and the Budget Process
The budget includes the financial planning and legal authority to obligate public funds. Additionally,
the budget provides significant policy direction by the City Council and Mayor to the staff and
community. As a result, the Mayor, the City Council, staff and public are involved in establishing the
budget for the City of Arlington.
The budget provides four functions:
1. A Policy Document
The budget functions as a policy document in that the decisions made within the budget will reflect the
general principles or plans that guide the actions taken for the future. As a policy document, the
budget makes specific attempts to link desired goals and policy direction to the actual day-to-day
activities of the City staff.
2. An Operational Guide
The budget of the city reflects its operations. Activities of each City function and organization have
been planned, debated, formalized, and described in the following sections. This process will help to
maintain an understanding of the various operations of the City and how they relate to each other and
to the attainment of the policy issues and goals of the City Council.
3. A Link with the General Public
The budget provides a unique opportunity to allow and encourage public review of City operations.
The budget describes the activities of the city, the reason or cause for those activities, future
implications, and the direct relationship to the citizenry.
4. A Legally Required Financial Planning Tool
The budget is a financial planning tool, which has been its most traditional use. In this light, preparing
and adopting a budget is a state law requirement of all cities as stated in Title 35A of the Revised Code
of Washington (RCW). The budget must be adopted as a balanced budget and must be in place prior to
the expenditure of any City funds. The budget is the legal authority to expend public moneys and
controls those expenditures by limiting the amount of the appropriation at the fund level. The
revenues of the City are estimated, along with available cash carry-forward, to indicate funds available.
The budget considers unforeseen contingencies and provides for the need for periodic adjustments.
12
2025 – 2026 Budget Process
The budget process for the City of Arlington is, in some respects, an ongoing, year-round activity. The
formal budget planning began in January with discussions between the Mayor, City Administrator and
City Council during the City Council’s annual retreat. The City Administrator and the Department
Directors prepare the preliminary budget based upon the priorities set by the Mayor and City Council.
The City Council reviews the preliminary budget between October and December.
The City of Arlington budget procedures are mandated by RCW 35A.34. There are several steps in the
budget process. The first requirement is that the city shall submit a proposed preliminary budget to the
chief administrative officer on or before the first business day in October. The preliminary budget is
first presented to City Council on the first Saturday in October and again presented to the City Council
in November. Public hearings are held to obtain taxpayers' comments, and revisions, as applicable, are
made. The Council makes its adjustments to the preliminary budget and adopts by ordinance a final
balanced budget not later than December 31. The final operating budget as adopted is published,
distributed, and made available on the City’s website or to the public when requested.
The Finance Director is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within an fund; however, any
revisions that alter the total expenditures of a fund, or that affect the number of authorized
employee positions, salary ranges or other conditions of employment must be approved by the City
Council.
When the City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the City to increase or decrease
the appropriation for a particular fund, it may do so by ordinance approved by one more than the
majority. This is usually performed once a year in December.

Selected Budget Policies
Department directors have primary responsibility for formulating budget proposals in line with City
Council and Mayoral priority direction, and for implementing them once they are approved.
The Finance Department is responsible for coordinating the overall preparation and administration of
the City's operating budget and capital improvements. This function is fulfilled in compliance with
applicable State of Washington statutes governing local government budgeting practices.
The Finance Department assists department staff in identifying budget issues, formulating solutions
and alternatives, and implementing any necessary corrective actions.
Interfund charges will be based on recovery of the direct costs associated with providing those
services.
Regular employee positions will normally be budgeted only in the City's operating funds and will be
retained in accordance with rules established by the Finance Department.
Budget adjustments requiring City Council approval occur through the ordinance process at the fund
level coordinated by the Finance Department and any adjustments to the current year budget are
required to occur prior to the end of the current year.
The City's budget presentation will be directed at displaying the City's services plan in a
Council/constituent-friendly format.
The City will maintain equipment replacement funds that will receive annually budgeted contributions
from the operating expenses of departments owning the capital equipment in an amount necessary to
replace the equipment at the end of its useful life. Life cycle assumptions and required contributions
are reviewed annually as part of the budget process.
14
Basis of Accounting and Budgeting
Accounting
Accounting records for the City are maintained, and financial statements are prepared on the basis of
accounting that demonstrates compliance with Washington State statutes and the Budgeting,
Accounting and Reporting System (BARS) manual in accordance with methods prescribed by the State
Auditor, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting (cash basis) other than generally accepted
accounting principles.
The City accounts for and organizes its operations on a fund basis. A fund is defined as a fiscal and
accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording cash and other financial resources,
together with all related expenses, liability and residual balances, and changes therein, which are
segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in
accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. For the 2025/2026 Biennial budget,
the City of Arlington accounts for its operations in 33 separate funds.
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City of Arlington are organized based on funds and account groups, each of which
is considered a separate accounting entity and accounted for with a separate set of single-entry
accounts. Reported are beginning and ending cash and investment balances, cash receipts, and
disbursements. Below are the funds the city budgets by fund type.
15
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and
reported in the financial statements. Revenues are recognized only when cash is received and
expenditures are recognized when paid, including those properly chargeable against the report year(s)
budget appropriations as required by state law.
Fixed Assets
Major expenses for fixed assets, including major repairs that increase useful lives, are expensed
when incurred. Assets like buildings, vehicle and equipment are recorded in the City’s fixed asset
system at purchase price for purchases $7,500 or more. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are
accounted for as expenses when incurred. The City operates on a cash basis system and does
not record depreciation for assets.
Utility plant in service and other fixed assets are stated at cost where the historical cost is
known. Where historical cost is not known, assets are recorded at the City’s engineers
estimated cost. Donations by developers and customers are recorded at the contract price or donor
cost.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for all funds. These funds are budgeted on the
modified cash basis of accounting. The financial statements include budgetary comparisons for those
funds.
Budgets are adopted at the fund level that constitutes the legal authority for expenditures. Annual
appropriations for all funds lapse at the fiscal period end.

Governmental Fund Types
Governmental fund operating statements focus on measuring changes in cash and investment
balances rather than net income; they present increases (revenues and other financing sources)
and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in cash. This fund is the general
operating fund of the city. It accounts for all financial resources and transactions except those
required to be accounted for in another fund. The general fund is primarily funded by both
retail sales and property taxes. The general fund also provides the administrative support for
all city governmental functions.
General Fund (Five Funds)
001-General Fund.
The City will also maintain in its general fund, an ending fund balance in an amount equal to
two-month operating cash. The 2025-2026 budget predicts ending fund balance will be

representing slightly less than 2 months in reserve.
004-Mandatory Reserve Fund – Policy.
Reserve Policy: The City will strive to maintain a Mandatory Reserve Fund with a target balance
between ten and sixteen percent (10% - 16%) of the total expected revenue for taxes and
licenses & permits in the general fund. Based on the 2025-2026 budget, the mandatory reserve
balances for 2025 and 2026 will be $2,969,517 and $3,249,517. These balances represent a
target of 16% in 2026.

19
Explanation of Revenue Sources
GENERAL FUND REVENUES:
Property Tax Revenue
Property taxes play an essential role in the finances of the municipal budget. Arlington is a part of the
Sno-Isle Regional Library system and North County Regional Fire Authority. This reduces the City’s levy
limit by $.50 per $1,000 and $1.50 per $1,000, respectively. The annual property tax levy amount
must be established by ordinance by November 30th for the following levy year. Cities with a
population of more than 10,000 are limited to annual increases by the lesser of 1% or the percentage
increase in the implicit price deflator (a national inflation index).
Local Retail Sales and Use Tax
The local retail sales and use tax totals 9.3%. Arlington receives 1.05% (.85% regular sales tax and .2% for
transportation), the State receives 6.5% and Snohomish County receives 1.75%*
*Of the .1% that Snohomish County receives for criminal justice, the City collects about .84%, the
County keeps about 15% and the rest goes to the State for administrative services.
Local Criminal Justice Sales Tax
Local Sales Tax for Criminal Justice funding is to be used solely for criminal justice purposes. This tax is
authorized at 1/10 of 1% of retail sales transacted in the County. Of the total amount collected, the
State distributes 10% to the County, with the remainder being distributed by population to cities.
Utility Taxes
The city receives utility taxes from local utilities as a form of a business license to operate the utility in
the City. The rates are as follows: Water, Sewer, Stormwater – 5%, Telephone, Natural Gas, Electricity
– 6%, Cable TV and Garbage – 8%.
Gambling Tax Revenues
Gambling tax revenues must be spent primarily on law enforcement purposes pertaining to gambling.
Funds remaining after necessary expenditures for such enforcement purposes may be used for any
general government purpose. Gambling taxes are paid monthly to the city. The city imposes a tax on
the following forms of gambling at the following rates: Bingo (5% gross, less prizes); Raffles (5% gross,
less prizes); Games (2% gross, less prizes); Punch Boards (5% gross, less prizes); Pull Tabs (5% gross, less
prizes); Card games (12% gross in 2017).
Leasehold Excise Tax
Most leases of publicly owned real and personal property in the state are subject to a leasehold excise
tax in lieu of a property tax. Rentals of city property, mostly at the municipal airport, fall into this
category and the city collects this tax. The tax is paid to the State which then remits a portion back to
the city.
20
Franchise Fees
This is a fee levied on private utilities for the right to use city streets, alleys, and other public properties
and right of ways. The city has two franchise agreements that are paying this 5% fee.
State-Shared Revenues
State-shared revenues are received for gasoline taxes, liquor receipts, marijuana excise tax and motor
vehicle excise taxes including travel trailer and camper excise tax. These taxes are collected by the
State of Washington and shared with local governments based on population. State-shared revenues
are distributed on either a monthly or quarterly basis, although not all quarterly revenues are
distributed in the same month of the quarter.
Liquor Board Profits and Liquor Excise Tax
Cities receive a share of both liquor board profits and liquor excise tax receipts. The profits are
distributed on the last day of March, June, September, and December. The excise portion is
distributed on the last day of January, April, July, and October. To be eligible to receive these
revenues, a city must devote at least two percent of the distribution to support an approved
alcoholism or drug addiction program.
Marijuana Excise Tax
HB 2136 amended the state’s marijuana regulatory and taxation system and provides for revenue
sharing with cities and counties. 70% of revenues are distributed on a per capita basis. 30% of
revenues (the “retail share”) will be distributed based upon the proportional share of revenues
generated in the individual jurisdiction.
Affordable Housing Tax
SHB 1406 allows participating agencies to receive a sales tax credit against the 6.5% the State receives.
This is not a new tax; the State is giving a portion of what they collect to participating agencies to be
used for affordable housing. The city will receive .0073% of the taxable retail sales in our jurisdiction
up to the annual maximum amount. Annual estimates are approximately $50,000.
Opioid Settlement
The Attorney General’s (AG) settlement with three opioid distributors was finalized and the city
received its first distributions in August 2023 from the $215 million to eligible participating cities and
counties. All 125 eligible cities over 10,000 population and counties signed on to the settlement by the
September 2022 deadline. To date the city has received $380,030 and anticipates additional
payments. The City has no planned expenditure for this biennium.
Funds may be used for a variety of opioid use abatement purposes set out in the agreements and must
be consistent with the state Opioid Response Plan:
Improving and expanding treatment for opioid use disorder.
Supporting individuals in treatment and recovery, including providing comprehensive
wrap-around services to individuals with opioid use disorder, including housing,
transportation, education, job placement, job training or childcare.
21
Addressing the needs of pregnant women and their families, including those with babies
with neonatal disorder.
Preventing opioid misuse, overprescribing and overdoses through, among other
strategies, school-based and youth-focused programs, public education campaigns,
increased availability and distribution of naloxone and other drugs that treat overdoses,
additional training, and enhancements to the prescription drug monitoring program;
and
Supporting first responders.
Service Revenues
Fees are charged for services rendered by the City of Arlington. Most of the fees in the General Fund
are protective inspections and permits related to services such as planning, zoning, building, and fire
safety inspections.
Fines and Forfeitures
Fines and penalties are collected as a result of Municipal Court rulings and other miscellaneous rule
infractions. All court fines and penalties are shared with the State, County, and the City, on average,
keeps only 40% of the amount collected.
Recreation Program Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreation programs. These fees offset
some of the costs related to providing the program.
Investment Interest
The City invests idle cash holding and earns investment interest on those funds.
OTHER FUND REVENUES
STREET FUND
Gas tax funds are to be used for maintenance and operations and/or capital expenditures related to
street and bridge maintenance, construction or repair. The city deposits all gas tax revenue into the
Street fund. The State distributes fuel tax to the City on a per capita basis.
LODGING TAX FUND:
This fund receives all revenue resulting from the Hotel/Motel Tax levied upon charges made for the
furnishing of lodging by a hotel, rooming house, tourist court, motel, trailer camp and other transient
accommodations in the City. The tax rate is 2 percent of the selling price or charge made for the
lodging. It is collected and administered by the Washington State Department of Revenue. State law
requires that these taxes be credited to a special fund with limitations on use, principally to support
the promotion of tourism/convention activities and related facilities, as prescribed by RCW 67.28.310.
22
TRANSPORTATION SALES TAX FUND
February 2023, City of Arlington residents passed a ballot measure to extend the transportation .2%
sales tax for another ten years. This tax will be used for road preservation and repairs, traffic calming
and safety projects.
REAL ESTATE EXCISE TAX 1 FUND
Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an excise tax on each sale
of real property at the rate of one-quarter of one percent of the selling price. The revenue generated
can be used for operations and maintenance and for financing capital projects as specified in the
capital facilities plan under the Growth Management Act.
REAL ESTATE EXCISE TAX 2 FUND
Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an additional excise tax on
each sale of real property at the rate of one-quarter of one percent of the selling price. The revenue
generated can be used for operations and maintenance and for financing capital projects as specified
in the capital facilities plan under the Growth Management Act.
AIRPORT FUND
The Airport operating fund receives revenue from aviation rental sites, industrial and commercial
building leases, hangar rent and interfund rent from other departments. Every year building leases are
increased by CPI. Land leases are based on a rate per square foot and are determined by a land
appraisal conducted every 5 years.
PUBLIC WORKS UTILITIES
Public Works is broken down by three separate departments, funds: Water, Wastewater and
Stormwater. Revenue is collected from external customer accounts and billed on water usage,
wastewater, and stormwater. Usage fees are established by periodic rate studies and CPI.
23
Major Revenue Assumptions
1. Beginning 2021 through 2023, a large online retailer was building a facility in Arlington
generating higher than usual construction related sales tax during that time period. The
2025/2026 budget reflects a 4.5% increase in sales tax based on 2023 actual revenue (excluding
what was received from that project). The budget reflects conservative revenue projections
due to the recent economic slowdown in retail sales, however the slowdown is expected to be
temporary.
2022 Actuals 2023 Actuals 2024 Budget 2025 Budget 2026 Budget
Retail Sales Tax
2. State shared revenues use the population estimate as determined by the Office of Financial
Management for the State of Washington. The population estimate used for 2025 revenue is
22,980 which is nearly a 6% increase from last year. Population estimates are important when
determining distribution of State shared revenues on a per capita basis.
3. Estimates for general property tax revenue reflect a 1% increase plus new construction from
last year’s levy. The 1% increase is approximately $137,623 mostly due to the increase in new
construction values. The 2025 preliminary estimated assessed valuation for Arlington is
$5,482,079,680 as determined by the Snohomish County Assessor’s Office. This is an increase
of approximately 11% from 2024 and includes new construction, annexations and State
assessed utility values. The City’s general property levy rate for 2025 is estimated to be $.9156
per $1,000 of assessed valuation and estimated to be $.9059 per $1,000 of assessed valuation
for 2026. In 2024, the City used some of its banked capacity increasing property tax revenue
from what was originally budgeted.
2022 Actuals 2023 Actuals 2024 Budget 2025 Budget 2026 Budget
Property Taxes
4. Estimates for utility taxes are based on tax rates as established by Municipal Code 3.16.040 and
historical trend. The City charges a 5% utility tax on water, wastewater and stormwater
revenue.
5. Estimates for utility revenues are based on rates as established by Municipal Code 13.12.040
and expected increases in population and commercial/residential buildings. Per City ordinance,
utility rates are automatically increased by CPI unless council takes separate action to amend
the ordinance. In 2025 the rates were calculated based on a 4% CPI for water and wastewater,
and 3% CPI for stormwater.
6. Airport land rentals are based on appraisal values. Appraisals are completed every 5 years and
any increase/decrease from the appraisal is amortized over a 5 year period. Land rates are
24
assessed per square foot and vary depending on the type of rental. The land rates for 2025 are
expected to be between $.32 and $.40 per square foot and increasing to $.36 and $.42 per
square foot in 2026. Building leases generally increase by CPI. The CPI for 2025 is budgeted at
4.3%.
7. In 2021, the voters approved an annexation of the City’s fire and EMS department into North
County Regional Fire Authority (NCRFA). Per the annexation agreement, NCRFA will pay the city
$277,985 each year starting in 2024 for reimbursement of debt on the construction of fire
station 48.
8. Lodging tax revenues declined during the pandemic years but recovered in 2023 and 2024.
Current revenues are up about 15% from last year. The biennial budget reflects modest
increases in both 2025 and 2026.
9. Telephone utility tax revenues have been trending downward since 2018 but appear to have
stabilized in 2024. Revenues budgeted for the next biennium are consistent with 2023 actuals.
10. Fines and forfeits (traffic enforcement infractions) have fluctuated over the past several years
and have performed under budget. The 2025/2026 budget reflects a reduction from the 2024
budget.
11. Building permit and land use fees are estimated by the Community & Economic Development
Department and are based upon historical records and adjusted to reflect our current level of
development and available land.
12. Traffic and park mitigation revenues are based on current construction activity level and
pending projects. The City was in a construction boom during the last two budget cycles and
construction activity has slowed, the 2025/2026 revenue projections have been reduced.
13. Real estate excise tax revenues are based on historical trends and actual revenues in 2022 and
2023.

Major Expenditure Assumptions
1. The budget was developed in alignment of our 10 year financial plan to meet financial policy
and reserve levels.
2. In 2021, the city was allocated $5.7 million of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding in
response to COVID-19. Funding was used for public health, assistance to impacted industries,
assistance to businesses and/or households, tourism to promote the local economy and for the
construction of a park to provide additional outdoor recreational space. The City intends to
spend down the remaining funds by 12/31/2024. No expenses are budgeted in the next
biennium and no additional COVID-19 funding is expected. This fund is expected to close in
2024.
3. The City has a program development fund which does not generate revenue and has been used
for one time projects or programs. Most of the funding will be used in 2025 and the fund will
be closed. Any remaining funds will be transferred to the general fund.
4. In 2020 the City issued bonds for the construction of fire station 48 and construction of a police
impound/maintenance facility. Station 48 is complete and the police impound facility is under
design. There is less than $500,000 remaining in bond proceeds which will be used to complete
design on the police impound facility and design for improvements to the maintenance &
operations facility. About $1,600,000 is planned for construction and/or improvements to
these facilities which will be paid from construction sales tax. The bond fund will be closed in
2025.
5. The next biennium includes an investment in public safety by adding FTE and technology
equipment to the police department.
6. Other staffing changes in the next biennium include; adding a position in the maintenance &
operations department and succession planning in both the finance and CED departments.
7. Wage adjustments in the biennial budget are per union contracts. The AFSCME contract is
good through 12/31/2025. APOA contract negotiations are currently underway and expected to
be complete before contract expiration 12/31/2024. Non-represented compensation is
determined through adoption of the budget and is based on staying current with market and
CPI.
8. The budget reflects the following increases in employee benefits for medical, dental, vision and
mandatory pension contributions.
9. Liability insurance premiums reflect an anticipated premium increase of 25%.
26
10. The City plans to invest $16 million in transportation projects focusing on roundabouts on
Smokey Pt. Blvd at 180th and 188th Streets and at Island Crossing (Hwy 530).
11. Public works has about $30 million planned for utility projects which include utility
infrastructure for the 180th and 188th roundabouts, water and sewer annual main
replacements, water treatment plant expansion and lift station upgrades.
12. The airport plans to invest about $8.7 million on an overlay to Taxiway Alpha, extension to
Taxiway C and solar lighting to Runway 11/29.
13. Parks projects include; design for a commercial kitchen, a bike pump track and a dog park.
14. Departments continue to contribute to the equipment replacement fund for the purpose of
replacing vehicles and equipment when it reaches the end of its useful life. Contributions
toward technology replacements are increasing this biennium due to a significant investment in
cybersecurity, system updates, virtual environment technology, secondary system for disaster
recovery and general cost increase.
15. The budget reflects an increase in funding for the City’s sidewalk program which will be paid for
by real estate excise tax (REET).
16. Due to a slowdown in construction activity, the budget reflects a reduction of contributions to
public art fund. Additionally, contributions to the capital facility building fund will be reduced
this biennium. Both funds receive money from construction sales tax. Contributions will
resume to full levels once construction sales tax revenue picks back up.
17. The lodging tax grant program was funded $175,000 for 2025 and will be funded $185,000 for
2026.

General Fund Overview
General fund revenues remain stable but stagnant. Post pandemic inflation and higher interest rates
have had an impact on the local economy. As interest rates start to come down, the expectation is
that revenue growth will start to pick up. The biennial budget was built from a conservative
perspective to mitigate a longer term slow-down in the economy.
Most budgets remained consistent from the last biennial budget except for general cost increases and
succession planning due to known retirements in 2025 and 2026. The police department had
additional increases due to an investment in staffing and technology. A position was also added in
the maintenance and operations department. All budgets reflect wage adjustments as per union
contracts, changes in medical premiums, and changes in property/liability insurance premiums.

Interfund Transfers
The general fund pays the maintenance and operations department for services provided to city
facilities and parks maintenance as well as supports the general operating costs of the
department. The budget includes adding one maintenance position in 2026.
The general fund also supports the Streets Fund for any expenses that aren’t or can’t be paid for
by fuel tax. The general fund also pays for its portion of GIS services and pays for the city engineer
position. Other transfers are to reserve funds such as the public art fund, mandatory reserve fund
and capital facilities reserve fund.
Other Expenses
Other expenses include insurance premiums on fire stations 46 and 48 which are owned by the
City but operated by North County Regional Fire Authority effective August 1, 2021. These
expenses will be reimbursed by NCRFA.
The City does not provide garbage or recycling services but does community outreach to
encourage and educate businesses and residents on the benefits of recycling.
In 2019, the state legislature approved a local revenue sharing program for local governments by
providing a sales tax credit for housing investments. This is not a new tax; the state is giving a
portion of what they collect back to local governments to invest in affordable housing programs.
The city contracts with the Arlington Community Resource Center for $50,000 per year to provide
affordable housing services to eligible citizens within our community.
41
Debt Service
The general fund pays debt service for LTGO bonds for Fire Stations 46 and 48, the police department
facility and council chambers. The bonds for fire station 46 will be paid off in 2030. Beginning 2024,
debt on station 48 is being reimbursed by North County Regional Fire Authority as per an interlocal
agreement – that debt will be paid in full in 2039. The bonds for the police station and council
chambers are being refinanced in 2024, interest rate savings are unknown at this time and not
reflected in the 2025/2026 budget.
Capital Outlay
The budget includes $300,000 for police technology and other equipment. In 2000, the general fund
purchased land from the airport and pays an interfund loan of $120,000 per year until maturity in
2038. Other costs include a new permitting system and operating leases for office equipment for the
finance, CED and police departments.

MANDATORY RESERVE - 004
Financial policy requires between 10% - 16% of budgeted taxes and permit/license revenue be set
aside in the mandatory reserve fund. The reserves are maintained to address temporary revenue
shortfalls, payment of expenditures due to cash flow shortages, reserves for expenditures deemed
necessary by the mayor and city council, temporary inter-fund short term loans, and other
unanticipated expenses as approved by city council. An annual contribution will be budgeted from
general fund resources, as available, to maintain the target reserve level.
Fiscal policy also states that reserves that fall below the minimum standards will require a financial
plan presented to city council within 60 days of the shortfall. Reserves will be restored to the
minimum standard within a 3-year period.
The target minimum reserve of 16% will be met this biennium.

PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT - 005
This fund is to be used for unexpected expenses from unanticipated mandates or to pay for programs
to ensure the safety and well-being of the community. This fund does not generate its own revenue.
Departments submit program requests during the budget development process to access funding.
Expenditures from this fund are authorized by city council through the budget and/or budget
amendment process.
Projects planned to be funded in the next biennium include creating a dog park and design services
for the Island Crossing Sub Area Plan.
As this fund has no direct revenue source and no current or future contributions will be made into
this fund, it will be closed in 2026. Any remaining funds will be transferred into the general fund.

CED PERMITTING - 006
This fund was created in 2020 as a managerial fund to track permit related fees in accordance with
state law. Permit related fees are restricted and can only be used to pay for expenses directly related
to the cost of processing a permit.
The Community and Economic Development (CED) Department is responsible for processing all
building permits, performing plan reviews and other tasks associated with development. Permit and
related revenues are recorded in this fund to ensure the revenues are only spent for allowed
purposes.
All expenses of the CED Department are recorded in the General Fund. An analysis is performed each
month to determine the actual amount of costs within the CED Department that were associated with
processing permits. That amount is then transferred to the general fund. The public works
department also provides GIS services to CED as part of the planning, development and permitting
processes. CED reimburses the public works department for those costs as noted by the transfers out
to water, sewer and storm.
Revenue projections are based on pending and current projects. Transfers to the general fund (use
of permit revenue) is based on historical trend.

STREETS - 101
The Streets fund is a special revenue fund which means that revenues in this fund are restricted as to
their use.
The primary revenue source in this fund comes from a state shared distribution of excise tax on each
gallon of fuel sold in the state. The revenues are distributed to cities on a per capita basis. The Office
of Financial Management estimates Arlington’s population to be 22,980 in 2024. The estimated
per capita rate for fuel tax in 2025 is $17.07. Fuel tax must be used to maintain transportation
systems within the city (i.e. street repair, sidewalk maintenance, bridge repair).
The state also distributes “multi modal” funding which is used to provide pedestrian access and to
connect pedestrian systems to motorized transportation systems. Examples of multi-modal systems
include trails, sidewalks, bus stops, and bike paths. The estimated per capital rate for multi-
modal funding in 2025 is $1.27.
Most of the expenses are routine and include sidewalk repair, bridge maintenance and inspection,
annual striping and snow and ice removal. The budgets for sidewalk maintenance and bridge repairs
will be increased this biennium to take care of deferred maintenance and to restore and re-stain the
Crown Ridge Bridge.
In 2023, salaries and benefits for maintenance and operations staff were directly charged to the
maintenance and operations fund, in lieu of directly charging percentages of time to each
department. Maintenance staff track their hours worked and costs are allocated to user
departments based on services provided. This approach is more transparent and ensure s that
departments are charged accurately.
Examples of work from the Street Department; 173rd trail maintenance, snow and ice removal on city
streets and Woodway sidewalk repair.

GROWTH FUND - 107
The source of revenue generated from this fund comes from traffic, park and other mitigation fees
resulting from new construction impacts. Fees must be used within 10 years of the date collected.
These revenues are restricted as to their use. Transportation mitigation fees must be used for public
streets and roads addressed in the capital facilities plan element of a comprehensive plan. Park
mitigation fees must be used for capital improvements (including acquisition). Funds cannot be used
to correct existing deficiencies or for routine maintenance, they must be used to service the
community at large and be reasonably related to the new development.
Projected revenues are hard to predict and are based on construction related activity. Revenue
projections are based on current activity level and pending projects.
City staff maximizes the use of local funds by leveraging those funds with Federal and State grants.
This strategy allows local dollars to be stretched further and fund more projects. The budget reflects
about $630,000 to be transferred from the growth fund to the transportation fund. The traffic
mitigation funds will be used as local match for expected grant funding on the 211th Pl. improvement
and the SR-531 trail projects. No planned uses for park mitigation funds this biennium.

PUBLIC ART - 111
On March 18, 2019, the city council adopted Ordinance 2019 – 003 establishing a Public Art Fund.
The purpose of this fund is to establish a public art program to be funded by 10% of the amounts
collected from construction sales tax revenues. The ordinance caps the fund balance at $200,000.
Funds may be used for costs associated with the acquisition, installation, addition, improvement,
replacement, repair, modification and maintenance of public art and related projects within the city.
Projects are approved and funded through the city’s budget process and/or through recommendation
from the Parks, Arts and Recreation Commission and thereafter approved by city council.
Examples of past art installations:
From left to right: “Split Passage” sculpture by Karla Matzke installed at 172nd St Roundabout (2023), “Wonderland
Bench” by Lance Carleton installed at the Senior Center bus stop (2022),"SR 9 South Entryway Sign"

Revenues in this fund are generated from a 2% consumer tax charged on overnight stays, for periods
of less than 30 days, for hotels, motels, rooming houses, private campgrounds, RV parks and similar
facilities.
State law requires that these funds must be used for activities, operations and expenditures related
to tourism promotion. Examples include tourism marketing, marketing and operating a special event
or festival, and operations of tourism related facilities. Examples of projects funded in the most recent

CEMETERY - 116
The Arlington Municipal Cemetery was formally plotted as "Harwood Cemetery" in 1903 and operated
by a non-profit association. Adjoining property was purchased over the years and the Cemetery now
encompasses 30 acres. The City of Arlington assumed ownership and operation in 1999. The
Cemetery is located at 20310 67th Avenue NE in Arlington.
Revenues from the cemetery are accounted for in a special revenue fund which means that these
revenues are restricted and to be used only for operating and maintaining the cemetery. Revenues
come from a variety of sources related to providing burial services. Some of the major revenues
include; lot sales, opening and closing services, sales of headstones, liners urns and vaults. The
Cemetery is operated by two full time employees.

TRANSPORATION SALES TAX FUND- 180
On April 1, 2013, the Arlington City Council passed Ordinance 2013-005, which created a
Transportation Benefit District (TBD) in the City of Arlington. The voters approved a two-tenths of one
percent sales tax that would fund repairs and improvements to the 314 road segments throughout
the City that are in failing or near failing condition over the next 10 years.
On February 20, 2018, city council adopted Ordinance 2018-001 which authorized the city to assume
the rights, responsibilities, powers, and functions of the transportation benefit district. The ordinance
did not change what the voter approved sales tax could be used for, the ordinance authorized that
the city council, in lieu of a separate board, would be the governing body and financial activities would
not have to be reported as a separate legal entity.
February 14, 2023, the voters approved a ten-year extension to the transportation sales tax. The
funding will be used for neighborhood traffic calming, pavement preservation, transportation safety
projects and other transportation capital improvements as identified in the City of Arlington
Transportation Improvement Plans.

REET I - 303
The REET 1 fund receives revenue from real estate excise tax. RCW 82.46.010 authorizes all cities
and counties to levy a .25% real estate excise tax (REET 1) on all sales of real estate. The tax must
be spent on capital projects listed in the capital facilities plan element of the comprehensive plan.
Revenue projections are based on trend and assumes some slowdown in the market in 2024. The
city holds debt on land, referred to as the “Graafstra Property” and REET funding pays the annual
principal and interest payments on the debt. The debt will mature in 2039. Other planned uses
are to provide additional funding for the 169th Street Segment project, to the city’s sidewalk
maintenance program and to continue to make investments in fiber connectivity.

REET II - 304
RCW 82.46.035 authorizes all cities and counties that are planning under the Growth Management
Act to levy a second .25% real estate excise tax, known as REET 2. These revenues are also restricted
and must be spent on eligible projects listed in the city’s capital facilities plan element of the
comprehensive plan.
In 2020, the city refinanced its outstanding bonds for the debt held on the N. Olympic Project. REET
funding pays the annual debt service on these bonds which will mature 2027. This fund will also
contribute an equal amount as the REET I Fund to provide additional funding for the 169th Street
Segment Project.

CAPITAL FACILITIES – 305
This is a capital projects fund and does not generate its own revenue. Fund revenues come from
transfers of construction sales tax from the general fund as authorized in the adopted budget. In 2021
the city conducted a capital facility needs assessment to determine the amount of reserves that
should be set aside every year to pay for long term maintenance and improvements on city facilities.
Based on the results of the capital facilities needs assessment, the city should set aside, on average,
approximately $470,000 each year to proactively fund building improvements over the next 20 years.
The contribution amounts will vary based on the amount of construction sales tax expected to be
received each year and maintaining general fund reserve balances.
The next biennium includes improvements to city hall, the maintenance and operations facility, the
police impound facility and continued funding for fiber installation.

BOND CONSTRUCTION FUND – 306
This fund holds the bond proceeds that were issued in 2020 for the construction of Fire Station 48
and improvements to the police impound and M&O facilities. Station 48 is complete. The remaining
funds are being used for the design of the police impound facility and maintenance & operations
facility. Construction and/or improvements of those facilities will be paid out of the capital
facility fund. This fund should be closed in 2025 once all bond proceeds are fully exhausted.

TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT - 310
The transportation improvement fund is a capital projects fund and does not generate its own
revenue. The majority of revenue to pay for projects comes from grants and traffic mitigation fees
transferred from the growth fund. Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) and construction sales tax will also
contribute funding to projects that weren’t fully funded by grants or required a local match
component.
Some of the projects planned last biennium were delayed for a variety of reasons and will be carried
forward into the next biennium. A total of $16 million of transportation improvements are planned
for 2025/2026. The major projects include, 169th street segment, 180th and 188th Smokey Point Blvd
roundabouts, the Island Crossing roundabout and the SR 531 trail.

EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT – 320
The equipment replacement fund is considered a capital projects fund. Its purpose is to account
for department contributions for future capital outlay of vehicles and equipment. Each
department has an equipment replacement schedule identifying each vehicle and piece of
equipment in their department. The schedule is a 10-year plan on how much funding will be
needed and how the money will be spent during this period.
Annual contributions made by each department are determined by the amount of money needed
to pay for future replacement of equipment/vehicles when they reach the end of their useful life.
If equipment/vehicles are added to the schedule and/or replacement occur sooner than originally
planned, the annual contribution may need to increase.

AIRPORT OPERATING FUND - 402
The airport aspires to be Washington’s premier general aviation airport and a vibrant economic
resource for the citizens of Arlington. To support our vision, we will promote safe, professional airport
operation through innovative community relations, responsible property management, and effective
administration.
The airport fund is an enterprise fund. Revenues are generated primarily from building and land
leases. Revenues in an enterprise fund are restricted as to their use. Revenue generated from the
airport can only be used to pay for costs related to operating, maintaining, and improving the airport.
Land rents are based on a rate per square foot. Rates are established by a land appraisal conducted
every five years. Land rates vary by zoning category, however most land rates in 2025 will be $.40 per
square foot and $.42 per square foot in 2026. Building rates are adjusted annually by CPI. The budget
estimates a CPI increase of 4.3%.
Strategic objectives for this next biennium; focusing on preventative maintenance, modernization of
facilities and technology. Most importantly, a concentration on development to ensure the airport
evolves with the needs of the community aviation industry it serves.

WATER – 403
The water fund is an enterprise fund. Revenues are generated from user charges on water
consumption. Revenues in an enterprise fund are restricted as to their use. Revenue generated from
water sales can only be used to pay for costs related to providing water service (i.e. operating water
treatment plant, maintaining/construction of water lines and other water capital facilities)
Arlington’s water currently comes from three sources: two wells (Haller Wellfield and Airport Well)
and a connection with Snohomish County PUD District No.1. The Haller wellfield has been the City’s
primary water source since 1906 and continues to supply 85% of the City’s total water needs
today. The City is currently expanding its production capacity at the Haller wellfield to continue
providing water for Arlington’s growing community. The strong influence of the Stillaguamish River
on the Haller wells requires special treatment provided by the Arlington WTP. The other sources,
Airport well and PUD connection, do not require filtration in the City’s treatment facility.
The water department focuses on ensuring the availability, quality and sustainability of water
resources to the community and to ensure that all residents have access to clean and safe drinking
water.

In order to meet growing water demands, the city plans to invest about $22 million in infrastructure
improvements for the next biennium. The city is increasing its raw water production capacity from its
Haller South Wellfield located at Haller Park. At the same time, the city began work to design new
wellhouse buildings, along with new pumps and controls, for the new production wells.
With these two new wells, the city will increase its raw water production capacity from the current
1,700 gpm to 3,400 gpm. To treat the additional raw water being pumped from the Haller South
Wellfield, the city is also expanding the water treatment plant (WTP) which will be the major project
in 2025 and 2026.
