OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
Date: December 28, 2010
To: Council President Bernheiim, City Council members
From: Mike Cooper, Mayor / &.4—
Subject: Budget Ordinance #3831
Thank you for your efforts in passing the 2011 budget. I found the deliberations, while
lively at times, to be reflective of the passion each of you have for our city.
As you know, RCW 35A.12.130 provides the Mayor ten days to take action on an
ordinance. The purpose of this memo is to share with you my concerns and inform you of
my action regarding Ordinance #3831, the 2011 budget ordinance.
While many of the expenditures Council made during the amendment process have value, I
am concerned with the effects these amendments will have on the ending General Fund
balance, especially in this delicate economy. The budget as passed by Council increases
spending and lowers our 2011 General Fund ending balance by over $400,000 when
compared to the Mayor's proposed preliminary budget Council received in October 2010.
For 2011, this action places us dangerously close to the one month targeted reserve
established in the budget, by the Council. As a result, by the end of 2012 we fall $400,000
below our targeted reserve.
One area of particular concern is the arbitrary manner in which the Council lowered the
City Attorney's budget by over 20 %. The City Attorney's expenses have gone up 15%
since 2008. In addition, Council has done budget amendments increasing appropriations
for the City Attorney in 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2010. While I support collaboratively
looking for ways to control costs, to do so without a plan of action is, in my view, not a
responsible decision and gives a flawed impression when a member of the public looks at
the ending balance.
In accordance with RCW 35A.12.130, I will not be signing Ordinance #3831 which will
cause it to become valid without my signature on December 31, 2010.
In closing, I encourage the Council to work with my administration in finding long term
funding solutions for our city.
