PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT:
The City’s current financial reporting framework does not fully support the objective of providing clear,
meaningful information for Council to effectively oversee the City’s financial health.
While financial information is regularly provided, the structure and content of reporting can limit the
ability to quickly understand performance relative to the adopted budget and prior periods, and to
clearly assess the City’s overall financial position.
Refining the financial reporting policy provides an opportunity to better align reporting with its core
purpose: delivering transparent, consistent, and decision-useful information that supports effective
financial oversight and stewardship of public funds.
CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES:
Purpose of Financial Reporting
Financial reporting is the primary tool used by Council to monitor the City’s financial health and ensure
responsible stewardship of public funds.
To effectively support this role, financial reporting should:
Clearly communicate actual financial results
Provide meaningful comparisons to:
Adopted budget (the City’s plan)
Prior periods (historical performance)
Present information in a way that is consistent, understandable, and decision-useful.
RECOMMENDATION:
For Committee discussion.

2026 February/Report - Financial Status Analysis
The following analysis concerns the February-2026 financial report. Provided is a summary of financial activity through
February 28th. The total fund balance has decreased by $1.74m as of February 28th. In the 2026 modified budget the City is
projected to see a decrease in fund balance of $17m (for the entire biennium of 2025/2026) by year end. Looking at the “All
Funds Financial” summary statement you can see that the most significant reasons for this current difference can be found in
the General Fund ($2.9m), Waste Wastewater Treatment Plant ($372k) and the Technology Rental (512) Fund ($407k). The
total fund balance decrease was up from $3.6m in January which makes sense considering the annual single payments in
January for WCIA and the like. The following comments highlight other significant activity in 2026:
•Interest Income continues to decline from 2025 (as of this date), down 5.1% (approximately 23k). This is due to 2
factors: (1) Multiple bonds with higher (over 4%) interest rates maturing and (2) Interest rates dropping nearly .7% from
last year at this April 11th. It is down from 2024 as of this date by nearly 1.73%.
•Labor costs as of February 28th YTD (year to date) Labor costs are under budget near 1.9% for February and the
General Fund is under budget by 1.2%. The General Fund is over budget in just one department by 1.2% (Public Works
Admin). We came into the second year of the biennium under budget in the first year by almost 9% ($3.7m).
•Revenues & Expenditures - The “All Revenue Summary” shows that the City of Edmonds is under expectations at .2%
(this is expected early in the year). The 2026 appropriations budget is 2.2% below budget expectations. The General
Fund is exceeding budget by 1.3% primarily due to the WCIA payment (liability insurance) as can be seen in the “All
Expenditure Summary”.
•Sales Tax trending – February sales taxes were up by 15.7% ($183k) from 2025. This is a nice start to 2026. We did
receive March’s for 2026, and it is up from 2025 by 6.4% ($57k). For the first quarter of 2026 sales tax surged at 9%
($270k) over Q1 in 2025. Good news indeed.
•Development Services – exceeded expectations by (4.4%). These revenues exceed those from the first 2 months of 2025
by 16.2% ($59.5k). This is a nice change from prior trends of 2024 to 2025.
The Parks and Public Works Capital Projects reports used for tracking by the Finance Department are only included with
quarterly reports due to the time it takes to prepare them and that changes do not often happen monthly. In a joint effort with
Public Works, we are providing information and data on which projects were delayed and why. This is included in Exhibit
“A” which will now also be included with Quarterly reports.
We have begun working on a Biennial Analysis for the labor and benefits costs as well as fund revenues and expenditures
through the 14th month of the 2025/2026 Biennium. Labor and Benefits are under budget by 5.8% ($5.1m). The General
Fund is under budget by 4.4% ($2.8m). The City is experiencing a 1.3% ($2.2 million) shortfall in revenues compared to
budget. The General Fund is below budget by .8% ($875k). As of February 2026 (Month 14), City expenditures are under
budget by 7.5%, or $9.7 million. The General Fund is over its expenditures budget by .2% ($166k).
We have also included a new and updated cash flow report for the General Fund.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to discussing this with you at the Committee Meeting on April
21st.
Thank you.

MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS
GENERAL FUND HIGHLIGHTS
•Sales Tax is up $213,389 from this point last year. We are currently trending 10.06% over 2025 for sales collections through February.
•General Fund Interfund Loan – The City began repayment of this loan in January of 2026; the outstanding balance on the principal as
of the end of February is $5,500,000. Total interest to date that will be charged for this loan is $307,784.
•Salaries and Benefits City-Wide were $(385,752) less than 2025; with the General Fund being less by $(340,224). Through February,
we expended $5,034,592 for the General Fund which is $(427,119) less than we would expect through this point. This is due to
leaving additional approved and funded positions vacant in 2026.

MAJOR REVENUE SUMMARY
Property Tax
2025 total property tax collections were 2.85% higher than 2024 total collections. This is a sign of multiple indicators such as assessed
valuation and possibly new construction along with the 1% allowable on property tax increases. The timing of recording property tax
revenues changed in 2023 to be recorded in the month that they were for versus the month that the payment was received. This is the
reason for the difference between the years 2022, and 2023-2026.

community-based Fiscal Sustainability Task Force to advise the City on a long-term
financial plan.
CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES:
Over the past 24 months, the administration and Council have engaged in substantive
discussion about Edmonds’ long-term fiscal outlook. That process drew on the Mayor’s
2024 Blue Ribbon Panel recommendations, public testimony at 2025 town halls and
Council meetings, local media commentary, and resident correspondence. A consistent
message emerged: residents want to preserve city service levels and are willing to
contribute their expertise toward shared goals of fiscal responsibility and sustainability.
At a February 6th Council retreat, the Mayor, Council, and Directors collaborated to
explore priorities for the coming year and beyond, which included community priorities.
City Council used that work as a basis to develop their Council Priorities moving forward.
Among those priorities: financial stability and economic development, community
engagement and transparency. Adherence to Government Finance Officers Association
(GFOA) budget planning principles were also highlighted as a best practice.
In 2025, the City of Mountlake Terrace engaged Baker Tilly to address structural fiscal
challenges and develop a community-inclusive sustainability plan. February 8, 2026
article in My Edmonds News covering that work — “Government and you: How Mountlake
Terrace involved community in addressing City budget deficit” — generated significant

interest among Edmonds residents and Council members. That interest led to a March 5th
special Council meeting, where Baker Tilly was invited to present their community
engagement process. Council response was positive, reflecting interest in applying a
similar approach in Edmonds.
Baker Tilly’s scope proposes a three-phase engagement. Phase 1 develops a 10-year long-
range financial forecast covering the General, Capital Improvement, and Enterprise funds,
including analysis of unfunded infrastructure, fleet, and technology needs. Phase 2
identifies and evaluates budget strategies across four dimensions — expenditure controls,
service delivery alternatives, revenue enhancements, and service reductions —
benchmarked against up to six peer cities. Phase 3 facilitates up to six meetings of a
community-based Fiscal Sustainability Task Force, bringing together residents, Council
representatives, and City staff to develop consensus recommendations for presentation to
the full Council. The not-to-exceed contract value is $149,500, with an anticipated project
duration of 9–12 months.
This engagement represents a collaborative path toward a sustainable fiscal trajectory that
is grounded in rigorous analysis, community inclusion, and a clear framework for near- and
long-term decision-making.

Mike Rosen, Mayor City of Edmonds 121 5th Ave N, Edmonds, WA 98020
Delivered electronically Dear Mayor Rosen: The City of Edmonds is taking steps to ensure it can provide the services community members value within realistic and sustainable budgets and is interested in forming a financial sustainability task force composed of community members to advise the City on a long-term financial plan. The task force would take on the following responsibilities:
• Gather community input to understand values, challenges and opportunities from residents' perspectives.
• Analyze data through review of past planning documents, community survey results, financial trends,
and budget projections.
• Learn about revenue and services by studying revenue sources, limitations, service levels and future impacts.
• Develop recommendations on service levels, cost reductions, new revenue options and key messages.
• Engage with community by testing recommendations in forums and finalizing suggestions for the
City Council.
Baker Tilly brings a combination of long-range financial modeling, policy analysis, and community-based
facilitation that is critical to the success of this effort. Below are the highlights of everything we’ll bring to
the City.
WE UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES WASHINGTON CITIES ARE FACING
We have been assisting the City of Mountlake Terrace to develop an understanding of its current financial situation and future scenarios through interim Chief Financial Officer services and recently helped them develop a Fiscal Sustainability Plan through the use of a Task Force process similar to the one proposed.
We’ve also helped many other cities, including the Washington cities of Kenmore, Sammamish and Newcastle, with similar services.
OUR TEAM MEMBERS SPECIALIZE IN A RANGE OF RELEVANT SERVICES
Our public-sector advisory team includes specialists in municipal finance, facilitation and strategic communication who will bring multiple perspectives to ensure the best possible outcome for the City.

Approach
Understanding the engagement
The City of Edmonds (the “City”) is a non-charter code city under Title 35A RCW of state law and operates with a Mayor-Council governance structure. It serves nearly 43,000 residents and a diverse business community with police protection, street maintenance, parks and recreation, and building/planning development services. The City, like many in Washington state, is experiencing serious fiscal challenges due to its constrained ability to raise revenues to keep pace with rising costs.
To address its fiscal challenges by more sustainable means, the City is interested in developing a long term financial forecast, forming a task force to advise on budget strategies and creating a fiscal sustainability plan. This task force will require guidance, facilitation, and an independent analysis of the City’s fiscal outlook to provide informed recommendations to City leaders. With our extensive experience in strategic planning and fiscal sustainability, we are prepared to support the City in achieving its goals.
Proposed plan of work
Combining our breadth of experience in municipal financial and budget management, fiscal sustainability planning, and facilitation and strategic communication, we will support the City in accomplishing the goals described below. We have developed a three-phased approach to addressing the City’s fiscal
sustainability needs, and this framework is amenable to refinement based on your input.
Phase 1 – Develop a long-range financial forecast
Activity 1 – Start project
Baker Tilly will begin this project with a launch meeting with you and others designated as the City’s project leadership team. During this meeting, we will refine the schedule, discuss project objectives, and review the tasks to be completed. After this initial launch meeting, we will submit a document and data request to the City’s project team.
Activity 2 – Gather information
Next, we will conduct a structured assessment of the City’s current fiscal status. Key tasks include:
• Gathering data to be used throughout the analytical phase of the project. This will include budgets, budgetary recommendations, long-range capital improvement plans, enterprise fund rate studies, budget vs. actual revenue and expenditure data, financial reports, reserve policies, analytical work, interagency agreements, labor agreements and other pertinent information.
• Reviewing multi-year budget information, including revenue sources and amounts, expenditure allocations, reserves and other funds, budgetary reductions and cost shifts that have been made to date.
• Deepening our understanding of the local community served, the City’s labor environment, and other relevant factors that have changed over the past five years.
• Reviewing previous budgets and any short- to long-range financial planning that has been performed in recent years to understand the key drivers of financial decisions made by City staff.
• Reviewing budgeting approaches and testing budget assumptions against actual experience and reviewing and factoring in the City’s inventory of unmet or deferred infrastructure and maintenance needs to the extent the information is available.
• Speaking with City leaders and budget/finance staff to learn about key economic/demographic drivers and assumptions in the development of the fiscal model.
Activity 3 – Conduct high-level analysis of unfunded/underfunded needs
In developing a long-range forecast, it is essential for decision-makers to understand the impact of unmet needs that pose future financial risks to the City’s sustainability. These include facility infrastructure, fleet replacement, information technology reinvestment, and other core service needs. For some agencies,
Item 2.3
Packet pg. 60/74
2
APPROACH
these may also include unfunded pension or post-employment benefits (OPEB) obligations. This
evaluation should be part of the long-range financial forecast process.
We will analyze these unfunded/underfunded needs by reviewing documents such as fee schedules,
capital improvement plans, facilities master plans, maintenance project plans, equipment inventories, and
actuarial analyses of pension and OPEB obligations. Interviews with City finance, engineering, and
facilities staff, as well as analyses from other consultants, will further inform our review.
Using this information, we will perform a high-level fiscal gap analysis to estimate funding requirements
for capital projects and post-retirement obligations, comparing them with available and projected
resources. These needs will be assessed to determine if they should be included in the City’s General
Fund forecast when other funding sources are unavailable. Including these needs as estimates will
provide officials with a clearer view of future costs, enabling informed decisions about maintenance
standards, service delivery, and fiscal gaps.
Activity 4 – Develop baseline fiscal trend model
Next, we will analyze the data we have gathered through the previous activities and prepare a long-range
fiscal model. While the fiscal model is one tool, it will include separate forecasts for the General, Capital
Improvement and Enterprise funds within the scope of the project. Key tasks include:
• Identifying historical trends and updating the forecast to provide a comprehensive perspective of the
factors affecting the financial capacity of the City. This analysis will provide a sound basis for
understanding the City’s financial ability to fund services during the next 10 years.
• Developing the multi-year fiscal model based on this information. The model will tie back to
accounting and payroll records and provide a fiscal model that will allow City staff to update it in the
future.
• Developing a set of assumptions and future trends based on local, regional and statewide socio-economic trends.
• Developing a draft forecast and then reviewing it via videoconference with project team members to refine and validate our new assumptions. We are careful to tie back all model data to the City ’s source documents and to fully explain the assumptions underlying the model.
• Making refinements and revising the final model suitable for presentation.
We will conduct periodic check-ins with staff as the fiscal model is developed.
Activity 5 – Present model and provide support
During this activity, we will develop a draft slide deck presentation and finalize it based on your feedback.
We will present the fiscal model to the City ’s leadership team as soon as the model is finalized. The slide
deck will help decision-makers understand the current fiscal condition of the agency and what the long-
range forecast indicates in terms of the ability to fund existing services over the next five to ten years. Our
presentations of financial data are created so that those that are not municipal finance experts can easily
grasp the concepts and that tells the story regarding the ability to service the community based on
existing and projected financial resources.
We are committed to ensuring City staff have a tool to use in preparing forecasts in future years. We will
continue to provide on-call assistance during the next year to address any questions staff might have as
they use the model. This support does not include updating the fiscal model for future years but provides
support and guidance to the City as it implements the tool in subsequent forecasts.

APPROACH
Phase 2 – Evaluate and identify budget strategies for consideration
Activity 6 – Analyze data and prepare initial matrix of strategies
Leveraging the work conducted in Phase 1, we will analyze the data gathered, including the historical
trends and the fiscal gap, if any, identified in the long-range forecast to gain a comprehensive perspective
of the factors affecting the financial capacity of the City. It will serve as a starting point for understanding
the revenue/expenditure gap that will need to be solved in the fiscal sustainability plan.
We will identify budget optimization opportunities for the fiscal sustainability plan. As part of this analysis,
we will:
• Assess the strategies employed to date to ascertain which have been most effective in reducing costs and increasing revenues
• Identify budget-balancing approaches used by other municipalities in Washington state and in other agencies throughout the United States that may be appropriate for the City
Since we work with many cities, we have a robust knowledge base of alternative approaches that are being applied successfully in the current economic environment.
Evaluate and identify budget strategies for consideration
We will review the budget strategies that have been identified to date by the City, including supporting documentation or analyses that informed the City’s development of those strategies. We will consider the fiscal impact, implementation timelines, short- vs. long-term nature of identified strategies, and the City’s initial thoughts regarding implementation feasibility and requirements.
Next, we will leverage the work conducted in Phase 1 and our experience with other agencies in Washington state to identify other budget strategies that were either not considered or passed over. We will consider fiscal impact, implementation timeline and feasibility. While our focus is primarily on the General Fund, we will consider budget strategies that may affect the total cost of service delivery to the community, including enterprise fund operations and other tax-based funding sources upon which property owners/ratepayers evaluate the total price of government services provided by the City.
We will place all identified strategies in four dimensions which, taken together, comprise a range of alternatives for closing the deficit gap and creating a stabilized and sustainable budget.
• Expenditure controls and cost shifts. This refers to strategies that cap or reduce expenditures either through operating efficiencies or by shifting costs to other funds or service providers to reduce the cost of services borne by the General Fund.
• Service delivery alternatives. This includes looking at alternative, lower-cost service delivery approaches such as shared services, outsourcing or insourcing with other agencies, public/private partnerships, and contracting for services with private sector service providers.
• Revenue enhancements. This involves identifying new revenue sources or enhancing/ increasing existing revenue sources, based on best practices, and comparisons with neighboring communities.
• Service delivery reductions. This involves reductions based on prioritizing core services and reducing non-core services. Since we assume that preserving services is a priority, this is typically a fallback strategy when other approaches to restoring the balance between revenues and expenditures are not possible.
Gather comparative data from other agencies
While we evaluate and identify budget strategies, we will gather comparative data from up to six other agencies to which the City compares itself. The data we gather will include such things as population and geographic area served, services funded by their respective General Funds, tax rates (e.g., property,
Item 2.3
Packet pg. 62/74

APPROACH
sales, utility, gambling, admission), tax revenues by type and in total on a per capita basis, staffing levels
funded by the General Fund, and expenditures per capita. We will rely on publicly available data from the
identified agencies. To the extent that critical data are not available from agency websites, we will seek
assistance from City staff to obtain such data from those agencies to provide a full set of data upon which
to analyze and evaluate. We will summarize the results of this comparative data for future City Council
and task force meetings, but at this phase we will use this data to inform the development of budget
strategies for consideration.
Prepare matrix
Following our analysis of the data, we will develop a preliminary matrix of short- and long-term strategies
to address the City’s structural deficit. The initial matrix will be organized into the categories established
above. It will include estimated timeframes (short- vs. long-term) and expected order of magnitude
financial results. We will meet with the project leadership team to present our preliminary matrix of
strategies to obtain feedback. During this meeting, we will receive feedback and answer questions that
will assist in identifying strategies to be analyzed in greater detail.
Activity 7 – Prepare draft budget strategies and analysis slide deck
Budget strategies assessment
Incorporating the feedback received, we will perform a high-level analysis of strategies offering the
greatest potential for reducing the fiscal challenges documented in the
previous activities in the form of a memorandum that will serve as the
basis for a draft fiscal sustainability plan. We will consider the following
factors and information for each strategy:
• Estimated fiscal impact
• Potential impacts on total cost of government services and equitable service delivery
• Potential for success using an evaluation matrix based on fiscal impact and implementation factors
• Impact on achieving the priorities established through the priority-based budget process
• Implementation schedule (short- vs. long-term)
• Any one-time costs for implementation. We will take care to qualitatively weigh the importance of various implementation barriers using the
evaluation matrix. Such barriers could range from relatively simple changes in policies or procedures to
more complex contract, organizational or policy changes. The differences in barriers are likely to dictate
both.
Scenario packages
The strategies will then be grouped into sample scenario packages for consideration, ranging from revenue-centric to expenditure-focused packages and various combinations in between. This will assist City leaders and task force members in considering and deciding on the right blend of revenue and expenditure options for the City to be exercised as part of a fiscal sustainability plan.
City staff meeting
Baker Tilly will present the draft analysis of budget strategies and scenario packages to City staff at a meeting to be determined by the project team. The purpose would be to provide the City with the opportunity to understand the mix of strategies being presented and answer questions. Many of our clients prefer this meeting to take place after the agenda has been published but before the task force and/or Council workshop. The timing of this meeting will be at your discretion.

APPROACH
Phase 3 – Facilitate the Fiscal Sustainability Task Force
Activity 8 – Support creation of the Fiscal Sustainability Task Force
We envision the City taking a lead role in the initial creation of the task force, including recruiting, selecting, and communicating with task force members. Baker Tilly can assist with these efforts by providing consultation throughout the process and by drafting a curriculum and timeline for the task force’s series of meetings, to be approved by the City.
Activity 9 – Facilitate Fiscal Sustainability Task Force meetings
Baker Tilly will serve as independent facilitator and subject-matter specialist in these meetings to provide
independent perspective and insights to the task force regarding the City’s projected fiscal gap. To the
extent that other speakers are necessary to support the curriculum that is developed in the previous
activity, we will leverage existing City relationships and our connections in Washington state to identify
others to inform task force’s meetings and deliberations.
This proposal accounts for facilitating up to six meetings with the task force to include the following topics
(proposed number of meetings noted in parentheses):
• Introduction and launch (1). Welcome and introductions; review the task force charter; provide historical background and context; brief overview of City services and how they are funded.
• Edmonds financial context (1). Review municipal finance and budgeting in the City and for Washington municipalities; define the fiscal problem and review the financial forecast; review public engagement plan.
• Review budget strategies (2). Review budget strategies and the included comparative research;
review budget strategies identified; discuss budget scenario packages.
• Formulate task force recommendations (2). Review public engagement results; obtain task force feedback; facilitate discussions towards building a consensus recommendation from the task force on the approach(es) to address the fiscal gap.
We will prepare slide decks and/or supplementary materials in support of the presentations provided
during these meetings. We assume that all these meetings will require our participation in person. Should
the task force decide it needs to conduct more meetings to accomplish its work, we will participate in
those meetings as necessary until the task force formulates its recommendations, as we recognize how
critical this project is to the City, and we are committed to supporting the City and the task force as it
finalizes its work in this phase of the project. Additional meetings beyond the six noted above may require
an amendment to the agreement’s scope and not-to-exceed amount in order to account for the extra staff
hours and travel expenses required to facilitate the additional meetings.
Activity 10 – Present the output of the Fiscal Sustainability Task Force
Once the task force finalizes its recommendations, we will prepare a slide deck presentation that summarizes the options identified and the consensus recommendation from the task force and present them to the City Council in person during a Council meeting. The task force would have an opportunity during the meeting to reflect on its recommendations. If the task force is reporting directly to the Mayor rather than the City Council, the Mayor would take the recommendations from the task force to inform the Mayor’s recommendation to the Council and present the recommendations to them. We suggest that the meeting be in the form of a study session workshop where Council, task force, and City leadership team members can engage with one another thoroughly as part of the presentation.
The goal of the workshop is for Councilmembers to understand the various strategies identified and their
impact on resolving the fiscal gap, and to provide direction on what strategies to include in the City’s fiscal
sustainability plan. Upon conclusion of the workshop, the combination of budget strategies selected to be
pursued and/or explored further by the Council will form the basis for the draft fiscal sustainability plan.

Name Scott MacColl Title City Manager
Phone 425-295-0500 Email smaccoll@sammamish.us
Dates 2022-2023 Engagement partner Steve Toler
Description Baker Tilly was engaged for a two-phased project with the City: 1) to develop a new long-term financial forecast for the City’s General Fund, and 2) develop a fiscal sustainability plan. The comprehensive fiscal model allowed for a dynamic dashboard to test various assumptions and provide a better storytelling model to help elected officials, staff and community members better understand the City’s fiscal health. The model, using realistic assumptions, identified a long-range fiscal gap that would deplete General Fund reserves within the ten-year forecast if left unabated.
In Phase 2, we identified 25 budget strategies including revenue enhancements, expenditure controls/cost shifts, service delivery changes, and service level reductions that would eliminate the structural deficit and packaged them into various scenarios for Council to consider. We, then facilitated meetings with the City’s appointed fiscal sustainability task force to review budget strategies and provide input into recommendations with the goal of developing a consensus recommendation from the task force. Unanimous consensus was achieved and a separate report from the task force was presented to the Council along with Baker Tilly’s independent report Council members reviewed the task force’s recommendations and requested that the City Manager prepare a recommended implementation action plan for Council’s consideration in late 2023.

Description We were engaged by the City of Kenmore to analyze its six-year General Fund financial
forecast, including the Streets Operating Fund. Our analysis improved forecast methods
and assumptions for sales tax, development fees, salary and benefits, and recession
impacts. We recommended updated reserve policies and developed a “what if”
dashboard to show how revenue, expenditure, and recessionary changes would affect
the fiscal gap and reserves. The baseline forecast revealed structural deficits exceeding
10% of annual expenditures, with reserves projected to deplete within four years without
action.
We developed a fiscal sustainability plan with nearly 30 strategies for Council
consideration and worked with the resident fiscal stability committee to review options
and provide input. A separate report on the committee’s work was presented with the
City Manager’s recommendations. The Council adopted 10 strategies, and we created
an implementation plan to support staff. Kenmore received the 2021 Association of
Washington Cities Municipal Excellence Award for its financial stability plan.

FINANCIAL FOUNDATIONS FOR THRIVING COMMUNITIES
Item 2.3
Packet pg. 73/74
ESTABLISH ALONG-TERMVISION
Give people a reason
to cooperate.
Promote Collaboration
The only thing better than an inspiring
vision is an inspiring shared vision.
Turn stakeholders into co-creators as
you define the long-term vision.
Balance Long-Term Goals with
Short-Term Needs
In all things, seek balance. Advocate for
both the big picture and day-to-day needs.
Break long-term goals into shorter-term
milestones to maintain momentum.
BUILD TRUSTAND OPENCOMMUNICATION
Create the conditions
for cooperation.
Create Open Lines of Communication
Communication is key. Create and
promote two-way channels to connect
elected officials and staff with the public.
Cultivate Trustworthy Reputations
Trust is everything. Build trust through
transparency—say what you mean, mean
what you say and follow through.
CREATE CLEAR RULES
Reinforce constructive
behavior.
Well-Defined Boundaries
When the game has clear rules, everyone’s
set up to win. Create and share expecta-
tions about how decisions get made, who
has the final say, and timelines.
Monitoring
Everyone must follow the same rules.
Hold people accountable. When they
understand their reputations are at stake,
they’re more likely to play fair.
Maintain Oversight
Cooperation is key to thriving communi-
ties. Reinforce the importance of
cooperation through the power of the
purse strings. Encourage a culture of
shared values.
Sanctions and Rewards
Incentives can encourage both good and
bad behaviors. Know the difference and
design institutions accordingly.
TREAT EVERYONE FAIRLY
Promote and protect
mutual trust and respect.
Proportional Equivalence Between
Benefits and Cost
People must get what they pay for and
pay for what they get. Be proactive—
make sure citizens know what they
stand to gain for their tax dollars.
Conflict-Resolution Mechanisms
We can’t please everyone all the time.
Disputes around financial decisions will
happen. Anticipate that. Prevent destruc-
tive conflict. Promote constructive debate.
Minimum Recognition of Rights
Local governments must have autonomy.
Use collective decision-making to develop
policies and procedures for protecting
local choices and addressing unfunded
mandates and grants.
USE COLLECTIVEDECISION MAKING
Develop forums
for participation.
Engage Key Stakeholders
Building a sturdy financial foundation
is a team effort. We must be proactive
and responsive. Let people voice their
concerns. Ask for their feedback. Adjust
as needed.
Collective Choice Arrangements
Give citizens a seat at the table. They’re
more likely to support decisions when
they have a say in how public resources
are used. Prioritize public feedback.
Networked Enterprises
We’re stronger together. Share services
across local governments to save costs.
Build collaborative, cross-sector
networks to pool resources for address-
ing community challenges.
