2021 Annual Financial Budget
Adopted December 1, 2020
Accounting Policy and Fund Structure
The City of East Wenatchee uses the revenue and expenditure classifications contained in the
Budgeting, Accounting, and Reporting System (BARS) manual. The manual is prescribed by the
State Auditor’s Office under the authority of Washington State Law, Chapter 43.09 RCW.
The City of East Wenatchee was incorporated in 1935 and operates under the laws of the State of
Washington applicable to a non-charter code city with a mayor-council form of government. The
City of East Wenatchee is a general-purpose government and provides public safety, street
improvements, community development, municipal court, prosecuting attorney, and general
administrative services. The City of East Wenatchee uses single entry, cash basis accounting,
referred to as “other comprehensive basis of accounting” (OCBOA), which is a departure from
“generally accepted accounting principles” (GAAP).
In 2009, the City Council approved by Resolution No. 2009-06, a “Finance and Budget Policy”
which established the financial framework, approach, requirements and responsibilities for
developing the “Annual Budget and Financial Plan” for the City. This policy significantly
expanded the scope of the City’s annual budget process to include developing a five-year cash
flow plan to help ensure visibility of financial requirements on a longer-term basis. This increased
visibility provides the City Council, as the legislative body of the City, better information as to the
results of current decisions, and the challenges or opportunities that a financial forecast would
provide for future decisions or strategies. Copies of this policy can be obtained at City Hall.
The City’s 2021 budget encompasses the following fund types:
General Fund (Fund Number 001) – Used to account for and report all financial resources not
accounted for and reported in another fund. The City can only have one general fund.
Special Revenue Funds (Fund Numbers 101, 102, 105, 112 – 114, 116 and 117) – Used to
account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed
to expenditure for specific purposes other than debt service or capital projects. Restricted
revenues are resources externally restricted by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or
regulations of other governments or restricted by law through constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation. Committed revenues are resources with limitations imposed by the highest
level of the government (e.g., city council) through a formal action (resolution, ordinance) and
where the limitations can be removed only by a similar action of the same governing body.
Capital Projects Funds (Fund Numbers 301 and 314) – Used to account for and report
financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned (intended) for expenditure or
capital outlays including the acquisition or construction of capital facilities or other capital
assets.
Enterprise Fund (Fund Number 401) – Used to report any activity for which a fee is charged
to external users for goods or services. Enterprise funds are required for any activity whose
principal revenue sources meet any of the following criteria:
City of East Wenatchee, WA
2021 Annual Financial Budget
Adopted December 1, 2020
Debt backed solely by a pledge of the net revenue from fees and charges.
Legal requirement to cover cost. An enterprise fund is required to be used if the cost of
providing services for an activity including capital costs (such as depreciation or debt
service) must be legally recovered through fees or charges.
Policy decision to recover cost. It is necessary to use an enterprise fund if the
government’s policy is to establish activity fees or charges designed to recover the cost,
including capital costs (such as depreciation or debt service).
Internal Service Fund (Fund Number 501) – Used to report any activity that provides goods or
services to other funds, departments or agencies of the government, or to other governments, on
a cost-reimbursement basis.

Revenues, Expenses & Changes in Fund Balances
City of East Wenatchee, WA 2021 Annual Financial Budget
Adopted December 1, 2020
2021 General Fund
The City’s General Fund is the primary operating fund and is funded by many sources of
revenue. Below are brief explanations of the larger revenue sources.
Sales Tax/First Half-Cent – a sales tax of 0.5% where revenues are unrestricted and
may be used for any lawful governmental purpose. When both the city and county are
levying the first half, the county must credit back the full amount of the city’s first half
sales tax under RCW 82.14.040(1) so that the combined rate does not exceed 0.5%.
However, 15% of the first half-cent collected within the city must then be distributed to
the county. In effect, this drops the City’s first half-cent authority to 0.425% (85% of
0.5%), with the remaining 0.075% (15% of 0.5%) going to Douglas County.
Sales Tax/Second Half-Cent – RCW 82.14.030(2) allows an additional sales tax of
0.5% where revenues are unrestricted and may be used for any lawful governmental
purpose. The revenue-sharing provision for this half-cent is the same as above where the
City receives 0.425% of the 0.5% with the rest going to Douglas County.
Property Tax – a tax on all property located with City limits, unless specifically exempt.
All property can be divided into two major categories – real property and personal
property. Real property includes land, buildings, structures, and affixed improvements
generally classified as immovable, e.g., paving, fencing (RCW 84.04.090). Personal
property (RCW 84.04.080) by its nature is not permanently attached and, therefore, is
movable. Due to the multitude of taxing districts, levy amounts, and rate limits,
Washington’s property tax structure gets very complicated. Please contact the City’s
Finance Department for further clarification on property tax revenue.
Criminal Justice Sales Tax – RCW 82.14.340 authorizes a sales tax of 0.1% where
revenues are restricted and must be used for criminal justice purposes. This sales tax may
only be imposed by the county, but the county must share its revenues with all cities and
towns in the county. The statute defines criminal justice purposes as activities that
substantially assist the criminal justice system.
Utility Taxes – a tax upon the income (as defined by local ordinance) of public and
private utilities providing services within the boundaries of a city, and/or upon the city’s
own municipal utilities. Cities and towns are also authorized by statute to impose utility
taxes upon public utility districts that operate works, plants, or facilities within the city or
town for the sale of electricity. Revenues are unrestricted and may be used for any lawful
governmental purpose. The maximum tax rate may not exceed 6% for electric, gas,
steam, and telephone services unless approved by voters. There is no limitation on the
tax rate for water, sewer, solid waste, or stormwater utilities.
City of East Wenatchee, WA
2021 Annual Financial Budget
Adopted December 1, 2020
Gambling Tax – RCW 9.46.110 allows a tax upon the gambling activities located within
City limits where the revenues are restricted and must be used for public safety purposes.
Gambling taxes may be imposed by the legislative body and do not require voter
approval. Maximum tax rates depend upon the type of gambling activity, but do not
exceed 20%
Liquor Distributions – All cities and towns receive a portion of state liquor revenues.
There are two separate liquor distributions – “liquor profits” and “liquor excise.” Both
liquor excise and liquor profits are distributed to all cities on a strictly per capita basis.
At least 2% of liquor excise revenue must be used for an alcohol or drug addiction
program under RCW 71.24.555. The remaining 98% is unrestricted and may be used for
any lawful governmental purpose. At least 2% of liquor profits revenue must be used for
an alcohol or drug addiction program under RCW 71.24.555. In addition, at least 20.23%
must be used for “enhancing public safety programs.” The remaining 77.77% is
unrestricted and may be used for any lawful government purpose.
Marijuana Excise Tax – A portion of the state’s marijuana excise tax is distributed to
cities and counties depending on their marijuana policies. No clear guidance exists on
use of the revenues, but the stated intent of I-502 is that marijuana legalization will
“[allow] law enforcement resources to be focused on violent and property crimes [and
generate] new state and local tax revenue for education, health care, research, and
substance abuse prevention.” Two separate components of marijuana excise tax exist:
o A per capita share that is distributed to all cities and counties that do not prohibit
marijuana businesses; and
o A retail share distributed to cities and counties where marijuana retailers are
located, in proportion to statewide marijuana revenues
Franchise Fees – Franchise agreements are contracts between the city and public or
private utility providers that allow the utility providers to use the city’s rights-of-way to
deliver their services. A franchise agreement allows the utility provider to install,
maintain, and repair utility infrastructure within the right-of-way while minimizing
interference with public use of the right-of-way. Typically, these agreements last for 10
to 20 years or longer. Franchise fees are generally limited to the recovery of
administrative costs with the exception being cable TV, which may be assessed an annual
fee up to 5% of gross revenues, minus certain non-monetary in-kind contributions.
Business Licenses – Any city may require a general business license for any person or
company “engaging in business” within its boundaries. This includes businesses that are
physically located within the city, as well as businesses that are physically located
elsewhere bug engage in business within the city.

2021 General Fund Expenditures
General Government
General government expenses are a major class of activities of the legislative, judicial and
executive branches of the City for the benefit of the public or government. These expenses do not
include administrative services provided by a specific department in support of services properly
includable in other major City functions.
Below are descriptions of some of the major expenses included in this budget:
LEOFF 1 Insurance Premiums - This line item pays the insurance premiums for LEOFF
1 retired police officers as well as the City’s portion of medical expenses for LEOFF 1
active and retired officers. These medical expenses are typically unreimbursed medical
expenses. Non-routine reimbursements are approved in advance by the Douglas County
Disability Board. Premiums have been reduced substantially due to a decrease in the
number of individuals still in the LEOFF 1 program.
RiverCom - RiverCom annual costs are estimated at $261,251 for 2021, a decrease of
14.2%, due to projected lower billed incidents in the prior annual period. Past monthly
payments are as follows:
Year Monthly Amount Percent of Change
2017 $26,083 10.95
2018 $26,836 2.88
2019 $28,243 5.24
2020 $25,380 (10.13)
2021 (projected) $21,771 (14.22)
Animal Control - The Wenatchee Valley Humane Society annual cost is budgeted at
$73,515 per year, based upon a Services Agreement with the City for the period January 1,
2018 through December 31, 2020.
Chelan/Douglas Transportation Council - The membership dues amount will be $13,928
in 2020, which is a 5% increase from 2019.
Wenatchee Valley Museum – The City has contracted with the Museum through 2024 to
contribute to the operation of the Museum for support services at $121,488 per year. Half
of those funds come out of this budget while the other half are budgeted to come out of the
Hotel/Motel Tax Fund pending approval by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee.

2021 Annual Financial Budget
Adopted December 1, 2020
2021 Community Development Grant Fund
The City of East Wenatchee is an entitlement jurisdiction and receives annual Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) formula grant allocations from the US Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). The funds must be used for housing, community development,
and economic development activities, and must benefit low and moderate-income residents. The
funds must be spent on projects located within the City.
The revenue and expenditures listed in the Community Development Grant Fund budget are only
those funds provided by HUD. The Program Year for the CDBG Program is from October 1
through September 30 each year.
The City of East Wenatchee Community Development & Housing Consolidated Plan
(Consolidated Plan) describes how the City will spend the CDBG funds over a five-year period.
We are in the first year of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. Typically, the Consolidated Plan is
adopted before the end of the first program year. Due to COVID-19, jurisdictions were granted an
extension to August 2021. An annual action plan is adopted every year describing the projects or
programs that will be funded during that program year. Again, that deadline has been extended to
2021. The 2020 Program Year formula grant allocation is $142,699. The use of the funds has not
been determined. A placeholder project to improve Hamilton Ave. has been included in the budget
since this street has been on our CDBG capital project list for several years. We may have an
opportunity to partner with a private developer and the utility providers for this project. If the funds
are expended for the street project, that will be reflected in the Street Department Budget.
The City received additional funds in 2020 for COVID-19-related projects ($83,927). We also
reprogrammed $50,000 of the 2019 Columbia Valley Housing Association funds to establish a
Microenterprise Business Grant Program. It is anticipated that those funds will be spent in 2020.
Funds remain from 2014, 2017, 2018, and 2019. The Housing Authority of Chelan County and the
City of Wenatchee did not use all the funds allocated for their apartment rehabilitation project,
leaving an $9,373 that has not been allocated to another project or program. The Columbia Valley
Housing Association has not been able to spend down their allocated funds for the homeowner
down payment assistance program. The market for homes in East Wenatchee affordable to low-
income families has been a limiting factor for their program. They hope to spend down some of
the funds before the end of 2020. The table below shows the allocations and potential spending
timeframe for the funds.

2021 Transportation Benefit District Fund
Any city or town may form a transportation benefit district (TBD) under chapter 36.73 RCW to
raise revenues for transportation purposes. Any TBD (or city, if the city has “assumed” the TBD
under chapter 36.74 RCW) may impose a vehicle license fee up to $50 without voter approval, or
up to $100 with voter approval (RCW 82.80.140, RCW 36.73.040(3)(b)), in addition to any vehicle
license fees charged by the state. The City of East Wenatchee imposes a non-voted vehicle license
fee of $20.
The revenues may be used for eligible “transportation improvements” listed in a local, regional, or
state transportation plan in accordance with chapter 36.73 RCW. Improvements can range from
roads and transit service to sidewalks and transportation demand management. Construction,
maintenance, and operation costs are eligible.
Initiative 976, approved by state voters in November 2019, repeals the authority of TBDs to impose
vehicle license fees, which is currently under review at the state Supreme Court. The City currently
continues to receive TBD revenues but has no plans to spend them if the Supreme Court upholds
the will of the voters.

2021 Library Fund
In 2006, the City of East Wenatchee signed a new Building Use and Maintenance Agreement with
the North Central Regional Library District (NCRLD). The agreement has renewed many times,
but most recently renewed for the years 2021 through 2023. The City reimbursement rate and
history are as follows:
January 1, 2012 – December 31, 2014 $3,000 per year
January 1, 2015 – December 31, 2017 $6,500 per year
January 1, 2018 – December 31, 2020 $7,000 per year
January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2023 $7,500 per year
This revenue is paid to the City for contracted building use and maintenance reimbursement from
the NCRLD. Reimbursement payments are received in June and November of each year. As
noted above, the City will receive $7,500 per year for 2021 through 2023, at which time the City
will review the contract again.
The City allocates a proportionate share of the cost of contracted janitorial services, and utilities
to the Library.

2021 Hotel/Motel Tax Fund
Any city or town has the authority to levy lodging taxes, also known as “hotel/motel taxes,” on all
charges for furnishing lodging at hotels, motels, and short-term rentals (STR), including such
activities as Airbnb, bed and breakfasts (B&Bs), RV parks, and other housing and lodging
accommodations for periods of time less than 30 days. The tax is collected as a sales tax and paid
by the customer at the time of the transaction. These taxes may be imposed by the legislative body
and do not require voter approval. All lodging tax revenues must be used for tourism promotion,
acquisition of tourism-related facilities, or operation of tourism-related facilities.
There are two lodging tax options:
A “basic” or “state-shared” lodging tax up to 2% that is taken as a credit against the 6.5%
state sales tax rate, so that the lodging patron does not see any tax increase
An “additional” or “special” lodging tax up to 2% on top of the state sales tax rate that
results in a higher tax bill for the patron
Cities that imposed a combined lodging tax rate of 6% before January 1, 1998 are grandfathered
in under RCW 67.28.181(2)(d). This occurred due to a unique set of circumstances and only
applies to the cities of Wenatchee and East Wenatchee.
In 2019, the City contracted with the Chamber for tourism support services for $60,000. This
included special funding of $15,000 for a documentary of the first non-stop Trans-Pacific flight
and the Wenatchee Valley sister city relationship with Misawa, Japan. The additional funds
supported tourism marketing materials, economic impact reporting, visitor services, and sports
tourism coordination.
Due to COVID, and the lack of tourism activity and decreased hotel/motel tax revenues, the City
and the Chamber did not extend the contract for 2020. However, the Chamber continued to provide
marketing and visitor services, and has regularly participated in the East Wenatchee Events Board
(EWEB) meetings to provide updates. The Mayor would like to renew the contract with the
Chamber and has allocated $45,000 as a placeholder in the budget for 2021. The request will need
to be approved by EWEB for recommendation to the Council.

are distributed to the county, while the remaining 90% is split between the county and its cities on
a per capita (population) basis.
The revenues must be used on activities that substantially assist the criminal justice system, which
may include circumstances where ancillary benefit to the civil justice system occurs, and which
includes domestic violence services such as those provided by domestic violence programs,

2021 Events Fund
The Events Fund contains the revenues and expenditures for the Events Department. Classy
Chassis, Wings & Wheels, and Wings & Wishes are currently the main events hosted by the Events
Department. Expenses have been allocated to the various events based upon the historical and
planned levels of each event during the upcoming year.
Citizen based committees assist in the planning and support of each of these activities, along with
the Events staff. Support is also provided by the Police Department for public safety and traffic
control, as well as the Street Department for parade route barricades and facility support. An
additional role for this department is marketing for the City through participation on local, regional
and state-wide recreation and tourism boards and committees.
The Events Department is funded with a combination of Hotel/Motel taxes, sponsorships, sales of
promotional goods and event registrations. The receipt of hotel/motel taxes is pending approval by
the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee. If denied, the City will have to support this fund with sales
tax or property tax. The fund pays for the salaries and benefits for .67 FTE of an Events
Director/Public Information Officer in addition to the operational costs of hosting each of the
respective events mentioned above.

2021 Street Improvements Fund
The Street Improvements Fund was established and used by the City to fund and manage capital
projects related to streets – streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, underground utilities, etc. These
projects involve pre-project engineering, construction engineering, purchase of right of ways, road
building/paving, curb/gutter/sidewalks and storm drains. Projects are bid and performed by
outside engineering and construction companies and involve coordination with other utility and
governmental entity partners. Funding is generally received from either Federal or State sources
that involve a variable funding contribution support by the City. Funding through bonded debt has
also been a source of funds for the City for these projects in the past.
Projects budgeted for 2021 have been selected from the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP)
provided to the Washington State Department of Transportation each June and other projects
approved by Council.
Projects scheduled for 2021 include:

2021 Capital Improvements Fund
Capital Improvements for this fund are specifically provided by receipts of Real Estate Excise Tax
(REET) paid by the seller in real estate sales within City boundaries. The State of Washington
levies REET upon all sales of real estate under chapter 82.45 RCW. The tax rate used to be a flat
1.28%, but effective January 1, 2020 the state implemented a graduated tax scale based on the
selling price of the property, with the sale price thresholds adjusted on a four-year schedule (see
RCW 82.45.060). The sale of real property classified as timberland or agricultural land remains
taxed at a flat 1.28% regardless of the sale price.
The two main REET options for cities and towns are:
REET 1 (“first quarter percent”) – Any city or town may levy a 0.25% real estate excise
tax primarily for capital projects and limited maintenance
REET 2 (“second quarter percent”) – Additional 0.25% real estate excise tax primarily for
capital projects and limited maintenance, but may only be imposed by cities that are fully
planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA)
In 2021, this fund will receive an influx of $5,000,000 from the proceeds of a Limited Tax General
Obligation for the purpose of various City Hall improvements, which is broken down into four
phases. Phase one began in 2020, will continue in early 2021, and includes the design of a new
Public Works/Street Department facility to replace the current outdated facilities that house these
City functions. Phase two includes construction of the facility, which is currently planned for the
late summer/early fall of 2021.

2021 Stormwater Fund
Any city or town may impose a business and occupation tax upon the income (as defined by
local ordinance) of public and private utilities providing services within the boundaries of a
city, and/or upon the city’s own municipal utilities (referred to as a “utility tax”). There is no
limitation on the tax rate for stormwater utilities. Ideally, all utility rates, system charges, and
service fees should be set to recover the cost of operating the systems, in addition to charging
for replacing equipment and adding or expanding facilities to meet regulations, future service
demands, and setting aside for unforeseen events such as natural disasters. The stormwater
utility is considered a “proprietary” activity, which is to say that it functions as a business
activity separate from the general government activities.

2021 Rental and Revolving Fund (ER&R)
Equipment Rental and Revolving funds, also known as ER&R funds, are established to provide
equipment rental services within a local government. They increase government efficiency by
giving the government a way to allow expensive equipment and supplies to be rented to the
government’s various departments. ER&R funds are internal service funds and should operate on
a cost reimbursement basis (without generating a profit). Cities with population over 8,000 (RCW
35.21.088) are legally required to have an ER&R fund for operating city street departments. The
City has elected to also include the Police Department, and its vehicles, in the ER&R fund.
