County staff said the gap is significantly influenced by grant timing and one‑time revenues received in 2024–25 that will be spent down in 2026.

Deputy Chief Financial Officer Rebecca (name on record) told commissioners the preliminary figures carry forward current service levels, include known labor‑contract assumptions and reflect expected changes in grant revenues. She said the county will continue the multi‑stage budget process and asked department heads to propose cost‑savings and revenue enhancements during the next round of meetings.

Key figures and drivers

- Projected revenues for 2026: $54,342,000 (all funds).
- Projected expenditures for 2026: $58,152,000.
- Preliminary operating deficit (carry‑forward basis): roughly $2.83 million; after including additional payroll placeholders and pending items, staff estimate a $3.26 million operating shortfall.
- Projected ending general fund reserves: approximately $12.62 million, a decline of about 20% from 2025 and short of the county’s 25% reserve target recommended by bond counsel.

Major revenue notes

- Taxes (property and sales) remain the county’s largest revenue source. Staff used conservative growth assumptions: modest increases in property tax base and a small sales tax growth assumption based on recent volatility.
- Intergovernmental revenues include a number of grants; one notable timing issue is a Medicaid reentry grant (Health Care Authority) where much of the money was received in 2024–25 and will be spent across 2025–27, affecting year‑to‑year comparisons.
- Federal and state grants, timber sale receipts and specific project reimbursements are material but uncertain and will be monitored closely.

Expenditure drivers

- Labor and benefits remain the largest expenditure category. The county is completing several labor contract negotiations; certain bargaining units are subject to interest arbitration and market‑driven increases for recruitment and retention in public safety and corrections.
- Capital items in carryover and planned purchases include radio equipment and corrections facility upgrades tied to grant funding, parks master‑plan carryover costs, and a financial system replacement (county’s current software is sunsetting in 2027).

Reserve posture and next steps

Staff said the county has set a historical policy target of maintaining general fund reserves at about 25% of expenditures; preliminary 2026 numbers would place reserves near 22% absent further adjustments. Commissioners instructed staff to continue the budget calendar: department budget meetings begin immediately, with three public budget sessions scheduled to consider service‑level changes, capital requests and potential revenue options. Staff will return with amended budget drafts and recommended adjustments for commissioner consideration in October.

Clarifying details (extracted)

- Preliminary revenue projection: $54,342,000 (source_speaker: Deputy CFO Rebecca).
- Preliminary expenditure projection: $58,152,000 (source_speaker: Deputy CFO Rebecca).
- Adjusted operating deficit after payroll placeholders and other pending costs: ~$3,258,000 (source_speaker: Deputy CFO Rebecca).
- Projected ending general fund reserves after preliminary budget: ~$12,619,000 (source_speaker: Deputy CFO Rebecca).

Context

Commissioners emphasized the need for both short‑term savings and a priority‑based review of services. Several commissioners noted the difficulty in balancing recruitment and retention in key public safety positions, where market pressures have pushed comparable county wages above CPI increases. The county will proceed with department meetings and return to the board with revised budget proposals and options for reserve management.

The proposal, presented by Clallam Conservation District District Manager Kim Williams and board chair Christy Cox, would generate roughly $194,600 a year after exemptions and a 1% county administrative fee, according to a financial model prepared for the district. Williams told the commissioners the district is a state subdivision governed by a five‑member volunteer board and that rates and charges are authorized under state law.

The hearing drew sustained public comment both opposing and supporting the measure. Opponents cited additional tax burdens, concerns about district governance and elections, and objections to placing any lien on parcels. Supporters said the district leverages state and federal grant dollars, hires local contractors and provides technical assistance on septic systems, irrigation efficiency and habitat projects.

Why it matters: The district says its programs bring roughly $870,000 in state and federal grants to Clallam County and about $404,000 in financial assistance to landowners. The district and its consultant argue that a modest parcel charge would stabilize funding for non‑grant operations—planning, elections, outreach and technical assistance—that grants do not consistently cover.

What presenters told the board

Kim Williams, the district manager, described the district’s proposal as a parcel fee (not a tax) authorized under RCW 89.08 and said the district proposed holding the per‑parcel charge at $5 a year for a 10‑year term. “We are a subdivision of state government,” Williams said. She outlined that the district receives many project grants that do not pay overhead such as elections, bookkeeping, governance and general operations.

Brooke, the district’s financial consultant, explained why the district recommended rates and charges rather than a special assessment. “A special assessment typically requires that the work being done shows improvement to the value of a property,” she said; she added that the rate‑and‑charge construct allows funding for direct and indirect public benefits the district provides.

Key provisions in the proposal

- Term: 10 years, with charges appearing on the 2026 parcel tax roll through 2035 if approved. (Commissioners discussed clarifying the term language.)
- Rate: $5 per residential parcel is the typical sample; the district modeled many parcel types and exemptions.
- Exemptions: federal and tribal trust parcels, low‑income seniors and the disabled identified through the county’s tax‑exemption program, and private parcels wholly under federal jurisdiction (the district added this exemption during its process).
- Administrative fee: the district asks the county to withhold a 1% administrative fee for billing/collection.
- Revenue estimate: about $194,621 annually after the latest parcel counts and exemptions, according to district figures.

Public comments

More than two dozen people addressed the board. Opponents included Sarah Huling (District 3), who urged commissioners to “vote no on this resolution,” saying the charge would imperil homeowners and remove accountability from the county. Jake Segars and Denise Lapia said taxpayers are overburdened and urged the commission to reject the fee. Several commenters raised allegations about the district’s past project practices and election conduct; some said they had filed or intended to file complaints.

Supporters argued the district brings grant dollars and technical expertise to local landowners. Maggie Bockert, an appointed conservation district supervisor, described the proposal as “mutual aid” that helps neighbors pay for services such as soil testing and pasture management.

Board response and next steps

After hearing testimony, the commission did not vote to adopt the resolution. Instead, commissioners moved to continue deliberations and directed staff and the district to return with clarified language. The board asked for explicit changes including: (1) plain‑language confirmation that the rate will remain $5 per parcel for the established term unless the board approves a new public process; (2) an explicit statement that no automatic CPI escalator will be applied without a new public hearing; (3) a clear sunset/renewal clause tied to the agreed term; and (4) an annual reporting requirement to the board and public showing how funds were used and what public benefits were achieved.

The motion to continue deliberations passed; commissioners set a date to resume consideration at a future meeting (Sept. 16) so the district can return with a revised resolution and clearer contract language.

Context and constraints

District staff said parcel counts used to build the revenue estimate originally identified roughly 39,630 chargeable parcels but that updated counts and new exemptions lowered the billable parcel total. The district also said designated forest land is charged per owner (per RCW language), not per parcel, which reduces charges for multi‑parcel owners who hold land under a single designation.

Supporters argued the charge will help the district retain staff and continue grant writing—bringing outside funds into the county and hiring local contractors for on‑the‑ground work. Opponents said the district should cut payroll or program costs rather than add a mandatory county fee, and several speakers asked the commission to consider a shorter term or a sunset within one year.

Authorities cited

The presenters and commenters cited state law authorizing rates and charges under RCW 89.08 (rates and charges for conservation districts). A state legislative change (House Bill 1488 was referenced in public comment) was discussed in the room as context for recent statute changes about maximum rates and consumer‑price indexing; commissioners requested explicit statutory references and suggested the county prosecutor review any proposed contract language before final action.

Clarifying details (extracted)

- Projected annual revenue from proposed rates and charges: approximately $194,621 (district estimate). (source_speaker: Kim Williams)
- Billable parcel count (after exemptions): approximately 36,491 local parcels (district estimate). (source_speaker: Kim Williams)
- Administrative fee requested to the county: 1% of revenues for billing/collection. (source_speaker: Kim Williams)
- Exemptions listed in the district proposal: federal/tribal trust parcels; low‑income seniors and disabled identified through county tax‑exemption program; private properties wholly under federal jurisdiction (recent addition). (source_speaker: Kim Williams)
- Sample charges shown by district: one‑acre residential parcel $5/year; 20‑acre farm $4.90/year; designated forest land (per‑owner) lower per‑parcel figure depending on ownership. (source_speaker: Kim Williams)

Community relevance

- Geographies: Countywide (Clallam County), with outreach noted in Sequim, Port Angeles and Clallam Bay.
- Impact groups: small landowners, designated forest land owners, low‑income seniors/disabled (explicit exemption), farmers and agricultural operations that receive technical assistance.

Meeting context

- Engagement level: high public turnout for the hearing (more than two dozen commenters). Commissioners requested written revisions and additional clarity; the issue was continued for a specific future meeting to allow revision.
- Implementation risk: medium — statute authorizes the mechanism, but the district must finalize the resolution language, the county must adopt clear contract terms, and legal counsel will likely review statutory and collection details.
