1. Recitals.
a. Preamble. The City of East Wenatchee ("City) is a non -charter code City duly
incorporated and operating under the laws of the State of Washington; and
b. The City Council of East Wenatchee ("City Council") finds that it is in the best
interests of the City of East Wenatchee ("City") and its citizens to increase the
amount of the City's regular property tax levy for 2014.
C. Findings.
i. The population of the City is more than 10,000;
ii. The Implicit Price Deflator (Personal Consumption Expenditures "PCE")
for 2014 is expected to exceed 1 % (August 2013 to August 2014 is 1.5%).
iii. The City Council has considered the City's anticipated financial
requirements for 2015 and beyond, and the amounts necessary and available
to be raised by ad valorem taxes on real, personal and utility property,
including amounts resulting from new construction, improvements to
property, and any increase in the assessed value of state -assessed property;
iv. After proper notice, the City Council held a public hearing on October 28,
2014. At this public hearing, the City Council considered revenue sources
for the City's current expense budget for 2015.
V. After the hearing and after duly considering all relevant evidence and
testimony presented, the City Council determined that the City does have a
need to increase property tax revenue from the previous year by the
allowable 1 %, does not need to increase property tax revenue by collecting
previously banked capacity, but does have a need for the increase in property
tax revenue resulting from the addition of new construction, improvements
to property, and any increase in the value of state -assessed property, in order
to discharge the expected expenses and obligations of the City.
vi. The City Council finds that the City has future substantial need to increase
property tax revenue.

Attached please find a copy of the preliminary values for the 2015 tax yMar. These values should be
used in your levy/budgeting estimates. The taxable value is continually changing, i.e. senior exemption
changes, Board of Equalization changes, and exempt property changes. Please note that the State
Assessed Utility Values are that of last year. We have yet to receive the new values from the State. All
final levy limit rates and tax amounts will be based on our final certified values that will be established
sometime in December after we receive new utility values from the Department of Revenue.
Also included is a copy of your highest lawful levy calculation sheet, an actual levy calculation sheet, a
resolution/ordinance form and a levy certification form.
The highest lawful levy calculation worksheet shows you the most you can receive in tax. In most cases,
this amount will be the same as the actual levy calculation worksheet. If the amount is larger than on the
actual levy`sheet, this is your banked capacity, You can have this money as long as you increase your
percentage over the 1 % allowed by law and include the dollar amount of increase on your
resolution/ordinance and levy -certification forms=>,. -
The actual levy calculation worksheet shows you what your actual levy was last year, the new 1 % amount
and the additional dollar amount you can collect for new construction. We do not know if there is a utility
increase for your district at this time. You may estimate an amount for an increase, if you like. The new
1 % lirsit plus the new construction amount plus any estimated utility increase is the total maximum
amount available to you. If you wish the maximum amount,. this is the total needed on the- levy
certification form. If the new construction and utility amount are not included on this form, you will not
receive them.
The ordinance/resolution form shows the percentage and dollar increase from last year. Your 1 %
increase is the difference between the new 1 % amount and last years levy on Line A. Do not include new
construction or utility numbers on the ordinance/resolution.-
Please get your resolution/ordinances and levy certification forms to us by November 30, 2014. The
assessor's office does not have the authority to levy on behalf of a taxing district without a levy request. If
you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 509-745-8521. -

Attention Taxing Districts:
This year there was a lawsuit against the State of Washington regarding the values "placed on a State
Assessed Utility in Douglas County. According to the judgement on Benton County Cause # 13-2-02774-
4; we were required to issue a refund to said utility company for 2010-2014 tax years.
This refund affected your district by a decrease in the actual tax dollars that you received for the 2014
tax year. Asa result, RCW states that you MUST ask for a refund levy for any loss due to this refund.
The amount that you must request is $ . "` . To help you in this step, please add the
following paragraph to your resolution.
"As a result of the judgement awarded on Benton County Cause # 13-2-02774-04 NoaNet vs. State of
Washington; we are requesting the collection of $ in the form of a refund levy for the
tax year 2015."
Please remember, this needs to be included on your resolution AND it must be present on the levy
Certification sheet. However, this amount does not get included on the total amount of dollars. you are
to collect. If you have any questions, please feel free to call our office at 509-745-8521.
