operating and capital budget for the 2Ot2 calendar year, to address the

to review revenues and limit factors, as well as the proposed 20L2 budget.
B. In accordance with RCW 84.55.L20, any increase in property
tax revenue other than that resulting from the addition of new
construction and improvements to property, annexations, and any
increase in the value of state-assessed property and the refund fund levy,
requires the adoption of a separate ordinance from the tax levy ordinance
specifically authorizing the increase in terms of both dollars and
percentage.

substantial need exists to justify the use of a limit factor of 101 percent,
which establishes a one (1) percent increase in property tax revenue to be
