What is driving the pressure:
• Compensation growth outpacing recurring revenue
• Growing population and service demands
• Aging infrastructure / deferred maintenance
• Rising insurance costs
Potential responses:
• Prioritize: Direct limited recurring resources toward core County services
and highest -priority needs
• Right -size: Evaluate staffing and service levels against workload, demand,
and sustainable funding
• Recover: Identify appropriate opportunities to recover the cost of services
where legally and operationally appropriate
• Sequence: Use capital reserves and one-time resources strategically while
avoiding reliance on them for recurring costs
2 10/13/2026
Net Zero Budget: Structural Deficit Correction
Adopt a net -zero structural deficit budget for General Fund. External funds are subject to customized
directives.
Capital Infrastructure: Capital Facilities Working Group
Leverage the working group to identify feasible, suitable, actionable solutions for critical infrastructure
needs and align resourcing budgets with this initiative.
Drive Operational Efficiency: Maximize Technology
Enhance efficiency through technology and resource consolidation to maximize the return on personnel
investments.
Maximize Dedicated Reserves: Address Current Pressures, Share Burden
Strategic use of reserves gives us flexibility to respond to immediate challenges while spreading the
financial impact. Targeted deployment helps maintain stability and supports key transitions without
overburdening annual budgets.

Revenue Trends
The increase in service revenues reflects expanded
cost -recovery efforts and shared-FTE
arrangements being explored within this family
group, notably Public Defense fees and Prosecutor
staffing assignments.
Court -generated revenues include fines, fees, and
reimbursements. Some amounts must be
remitted to the State or dedicated to specific
pVO.M purposes, including local court -related functions;
other revenues may be deposited into the County's
General Fund. Allowable uses depend on the
MISC specific revenue source and applicable statute.

Both blue charts compare FTE growth within the CJPS family over time, with
2024-2027 shown from left to right. Growth within the Prosecutor's Office can
partially be attributed to two FTE being added to manage the City of Ellensburg
caseload. Similarly Public Defense has seen an uptick in staff related to recent
caseload requirements limiting the amount of cases allowed per Attorney. The
salmon -shaded chart to the right shows the corresponding year -over -year budget
growth from the prior year to the current year.

Approved by voters, this is an additional sales tax. The County
receives 60% of the revenue collected countywide, while the
remaining 40% is distributed to the incorporated cities based on
population.
At least one-third of the revenue received must support criminal
justice and/or fire protection. The remaining revenue may be used
for other eligible County purposes stated in the voter -approved
measure.

Victim Witness Funds:
Revenue is generated through statutory criminal penalty
assessments, designated portions of court -related revenues, and
state distributions. These funds are restricted to supporting
comprehensive victim and witness assistance programs,
including services that help victims access support and
participate in the criminal justice process. Funds supplement,
rather than replace, existing local funding.
Declining collection rates have significantly reduced fund
balance. A one-time transfer in 2026 maintained solvency, but a
long-term solution remains unresolved. Without corrective action,
the fund is projected to fall below the desired balance level again
by year-end 2027.

Trial Court Revenue:
The fund receives a required County contribution equal to
100% of the State funding received. These funds
accumulate for use in improving Superior and District Court
staffing, programs, facilities, or services. Expenditures must
be appropriated by the Board of County Commissioners
(BOCC), and funds are restricted to these statutory
purposes rather than general County operations.
Courts: Identify needs and proposed improvements.
BOCC: Retains authority to appropriate the funds.
36 10/13/2026
What does this mean for the Board?
• Spending is growing: The CJPS family budget increases from $17AMM in 2026 to $19.2MM in 2027, an increase of approximately
12%.
• Personnel is the primary cost driver: Personnel costs increase from $10.7MM to $12.1 MM, reflecting staffing and compensation
pressures across the family.
• Growth reflects service demands: Prosecutor and Public Defense staffing changes are associated with caseload requirements
and expanded service assignments, reinforcing the need to evaluate workload, service capacity, and cost recovery together.
• Revenue is not fully discretionary: Court -related revenues, dedicated taxes, and emergency communications funding have
specific allowable uses. KITTCOM revenues are passed through to a separate entity, while other special -revenue funds must be
managed within their applicable restrictions.
• Fund sustainability requires attention: The 3/10ths Criminal Justice Public Safety fund projects a 2027 deficit of approximately
$651 K, while Victim/Witness projects a deficit of approximately $92K. These trends warrant review of ongoing commitments,
revenue assumptions, and long-term funding strategies.
The key challenge is balancing growing criminal justice and public safety demands with sustainable funding, while
maintaining restricted revenues and evaluating opportunities for coordination and cost recovery.
