SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
During the development of the 2003 budget, a policy issue was presented that described the 2 year
implementation of a City -wide plan to serve the So. 72n Avenue /Congdon Annexation Areas. In 2002,
the first year the annexation was effective, many of the related revenues, such as sales and utility taxes
and per capita state - shared revenue, began to be collected. At that time, Police, Street and Transit
services were expanded for this area. However, property taxes were not levied for this area until 2003.
The 2003 policy issue included a proposal to spend these property taxes for fire service, library service,
and increased staffing for the Municipal Court.
Because of the uncertainty regarding the property tax caused by the 2002 Supreme Court decision, which
declared the petition method of annexation to be unconstitutional, this policy issue was deferred. Even
though the ultimate outcome of the Courts decision is not finalized, 'the City is receiving property tax for
this annexed area. An appropriation was recently approved by Council to extend fire service to the area
via a contract with West Valley Fire District #12. The additional staffing for the Municipal court is still
deferred until the space issues are resolved by the expansion project, and the issue is finally settled. The
attached appropriation represents the allocation to the Yakima Valley Regional Library at the rate of
approximately $0.40 /thousand of assessed property value (the current City rate for the Library),
estimated to be $130,000.
