Kathy Miles,Finance Department Analyst
Date: December 17,2026
Subject: November 2025 Financial Update
This financial update is a preliminary, unaudited,report for December,2025,with amounts shown as of
the end of November,2025 (91.7%of the year),intended to inform and assist governance decisions for
future planning. In total,city General Fund revenues are at 91.5%of budget and expenditures are at 82.4%
of budget. The timing of certain revenue payments and expenditures are normally the biggest reasons that
revenues and expenditures are below 91.7%at this point in the year.
The General Fund consists of resources that are available for use with greater flexibility. Therefore,the
majority of this report contains information specifically to the General Fund. Future reports will build out
other funds and resources that Council will find useful.
The information on the following pages provide insight into the monitoring of revenue and the
management of expenses. This report shows information for a specific time period,and is only an
indicator of how the City's finances are doing at one moment in time. Final numbers will not be known
until after the annual independent audit for 2025,which will not be completed until later in 2026.
Beginning with the 2nd quarter report in 2025,all revenues that were general in nature,specifically
property tax,sales tax and utility tax,are reported in the General Fund,and then transferred to the
separate funds,where the money is to be spent on directed services. Examples are funds that are allocated
for parks and recreation,streets,police and fire pension funds,and the communications center. This
change will allow the community an easier understanding and transparency of the amount of general
revenues that are collected for the City and where the revenues are being spent.

significant items are noted below.
• Sales Tax,Property Tax,Utility Tax,and Investment are discussed in more detail in the following
pages.
• Licenses&Permits are well above 91.7%mainly due to Single-family and Multi-family building
permits and Residential alteration permits being up for 2025 (1048) compared to 2024 (850),as of
November 30,2025.
• Franchise Fees&Other Taxes (66.4%) are below 91.7% due to gambling taxes which are lower than
budgeted. This is an ongoing issue that is being reviewed at this time.
• Capital Outlays and Debt Service are high due to a Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) accounting change for Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements
(SBITA's).
12024 Services&Charges are negative due to the reduction of$11.0 million in American Rescue Plan Act(ARPA)Loss revenue.
2 Debt Service is generally paid in the first half of the year.

GENERAL FUND REVENUES
The foundation of any city government is its fiscal health. The revenues it receives,both present and
projected for the future,set the stage for discussing what services to provide as well as the level of those
services-including the facilities,equipment,and infrastructure,that will be needed.
For most municipalities in the State of Washington,Property Tax,Sales Tax and Utility Tax make up the
bulk of the funding sources for the General Fund. This is commonly referred to as the "Three-Legged
Stool" for financing cities. In the City of Yakima,these three funding sources make up$74.8 million,or
82.1%,of the General Fund's total Amended Budget for revenue. Therefore,these three funding sources
are reviewed in more detail.
Sales Tax
Total Sales Tax revenue collections through November 2025 are being collected at a rate of 84.8%of the
2025 Amended Budget. Sales Tax revenue is reported with a two-month delay (November numbers are
from September). This revenue began a major downturn in the beginning of 2024, dropping incrementally
until February of 2025. At that time,numbers began to stabilize,but are still below last years numbers. It
is projected that revenues will be approximately$2.4 million below the 2025 Amended Budget.

Finance Status Report-Page 3 356
The Department of Revenue has a way of tracking the base sales tax numbers by category. While this
reporting does not include all the types of sales tax in the previous chart,it does track the main revenue
stream. The major categories and their current performance measures(in relation to 2024) reported for the
base sales tax include:
• Construction (buildings&contractors) -92.4%.
• Manufacturing (soft goods,machinery,wood,etc) -90.5%.
• Wholesale Trade (goods sold to retail merchants) -90.2%.
• Retail Trade (goods sold to the end user) -98.9%.
• Information (telecommunications,publishing,broadcasting,etc) -117.5%.
• Real Estate,Rentals&Leasing (machinery,vehicle,office,etc)-93.0%.
• Accommodations&Food (hotels&Restaurants)-98.1%.
• Other (automotive and appliance repair&maintenance/laundry services) -89.4%.
• Miscellaneous (administrative support,professional services,finance,amusement,etc) -101.5%.
Major categories that affected this change in Sales Tax were:
• The Other category was down 10.6%,mainly in commercial and industrial machinery and
equipment,likely due to construction projects finalizing.
• Wholesale Trade is down 9.8%with losses mainly in the merchant wholesalers and durable goods
category.
• Manufacturing,while it continues to be negative,went from being down 15.4%in August to being
down 9.5%in November-with most of the losses in the Computer and Electronic Product
Manufacturing category.
• Construction was down 7.6% (was down 14.7%in June),mainly improving due to increased permit
sales in recent months.
• Information was up 117.5%from last year at this time due to a surge in the both the
Telecommunications and Software Publishing categories.
Below is a 3 year history of the base sales tax for comparison.

Year to date revenue and expenditure categories above are mostly consistent with historical trends,
significant items are noted below.
• Operating Contributions&Miscellaneous revenue is at 65.5%of the Amended Budget due to an
$10.0 million Irrigation bond and a$8.0 million Millsite bond that are not likely to happen until
2026. Without the bond,the percentage is 83.1%.
• Sales Tax continues to lag behind last year(see discussion on page 3) and are being monitored.
• Utility Taxes revenue (100.6%)continues to be high due to rate increases in 2025 (see discussion on
pages 5-6).
• Licenses&Permits revenue is well above 91.7%mainly due to Single-family and Multi-family
building permits and Commercial alteration permits being up for 2025 (923) compared to 2024
(789),as of November 30,2025.
• Salaries,Wages and Personnel Benefit expenditures are down due to position vacancies and the
final union contract that will require retroactive pay by the end of the year.
5 Intergovernmental revenues and Capital Outlay expenditures are generally low at the beginning of the year due to the timing of invoices,with
the majority being processed towards the end of the year as projects are completed. Any capital funding remaining at the end of the year due to
incomplete projects is rolled over to the next.
6 Property Tax fluctuates due to the timing of the payments,with April and October being the main collection months.
7 Debt Service interest is all paid in the first half of the year,with the majority of the principal. The remaining principal is paid at year-end.
8 Intergovernmental revenue is not budgeted as these are funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent
for individuals,private organizations or other governmental units.
