ITEM TITLE: An Ordinance Amending the 2003 Budget and Making an
Appropriation in the General Fund to Provide for Fire Service to the
South 72 Avenue Annexation Area

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
By separate resolution, the Yakima City Council is being asked to approve a contract with the West
Valley Fire District to extend fire service to the South 72 Avenue Annexation Area.
The City's property tax levy for 2003 did include this annexation area. However, because of
uncertainty regarding the annexation, this property tax was not included in the General Fund revenue
estimates. There was also uncertainty regarding delivery of Fire service in this area for the long term,
so the adopted 2003 budget only included a provision for the first 6 months of service, with the
understanding that a proposal and accompanying appropriation request would be presented to
Council for the second half of the year.
Recent property tax remittances have included taxes from this area, but there is still continued
uncertainty about future service for the annexed area. The attached appropriation would allow for
current fire service levels to be extended for an additional 6 months, at a total cost of $193,217.
(The revenue estimate for Property Taxes will also be increased by the same amount.)
