Potential Funding for Proposed PFD <br />The various large recreation projects that are intended to be partially funded by the proposed <br />pFD - 1). Upper Kittitas Coung Community Recreation Center; 2). Ellensburg Community <br />Fieldhouse; and 3). Kittitas Valley Aquatic Center - are located in Upper Kittitas County and in <br />the City of Ellensburg. Given this geographic distribution throughout Kittitas County, it is <br />assumed, for the purposes of this financial feasibility review, that if voters approve the <br />imposition of a sales and use tax at the rate of 0.2 percent, it would be collected on <br />Countywide taxable retail sales base. <br />Our analysis considers 2 methodologies for projecting estimated taxable retail sales - 1). <br />Conservative Scenario based on a linear regression; and 2). Moderate Scenarios reflecting the <br />compounded annual growth rate observed between 2019 and 2024 (7.46 percent) and applied <br />to future years (2025-2043). <br />ln 2027, when the proposed PFD is assumed to be formed, the Conservative Scenario would <br />yield annual revenues to the proposed PFD of $2.85M from the 0.2 percent sales tax, while <br />the Moderate Scenario would yield revenues of $2.83M. Anticipated PFD sales tax revenues <br />would amount to an average of between $4.1M (Conservative Scenario) and $5.36M <br />(Moderate Scenario) annually (between 2027 and 2043). <br />2024 Actual 2025 2026 2027 2028 <br />7 Estimated Taxable Retail Sales <br />Projected Sales Tax Gollections & Estimated Taxable Retail Sales <br />Kittitas County, W A QA24-20431 <br />3 Moderate Scenario <br />4 Estimated Sales Tax Distribution to Proposed PFD <br />$1,142,853,201$1,228,081,164$1,3',19,664,979$1,418,078,632$1,523'831,456 <br />6 Moderate Scenario <br />7 Estimated Taxable Retail Sales <br />$2,285,706 $2,456,162 92.999,999 <br />2035 <br />9?,q_3!,151 <br />2040 <br />$3,047,663 <br />2029 2030 2043 <br />3 Moderate Scenario <br />4 Estimated Sales Tax Distribution to Proposed PFD <br />$1,637,470,767 $1,759,584,699 $2,521 ,118,641 $3,612,238,276 $4,482'148'634 <br />$3,274,942 $3,519,169 $5,042,237 $7,224,477 $8,6 Moderate Scenario <br />2.
