Kittitas County Conservation District: Providing Special Benefits to Kittitas County Land and Landowners Preamble: Since 2007, the Kittitas County Conservation District ( KCCD ) has charged a Special Assessment per Revised Code of Washington 89.08.400. That assessment includes a $5 per parcel assessment and a per acre charge up to $0.10 to fund basic natural resource related assistance programs and services. The Special Assessment was approved for a 10-year period. Due to pending litigation in Washington State regarding property assessments, several conservation districts, including the Pierce, King, Snohomish, Mason, and Spokane Conservation Districts collaborated in the 2012 Legislative Session to add an alternative method of collecting local revenue called a rate or a charge. This method is described in RCW 89.08.405. A conservation district cannot impose both an assessment (89.08.400) and a rate or charge (89.08.405). An assessment is generally related to a service or improvement that adds value to a parcel of property. Alternately, a rate is a charge intended to recover the cost of public improvements, services or programs, received by or available to properties in the District, or to pay for costs to mitigate negative impacts on natural resources from those properties i.e. protection of soil and water quality, forest health, or habitat restoration. Under rates and charges, each eligible parcel is subject to a charge; there is still a cap of $5 per parcel on eligible parcels to be charged and $0.10 per acre; and, rates cannot be increased without authorization from the State Legislature, the District Board of Supervisors, and the Board of County Commissioners. The KCCD is seeking to renew the local funding currently collected through an assessment. In that renewal process, the KCCD proposes to switch to rates and charges. In doing so, a rates analysis is necessary and is contained in the remainder of this document. The property owners within the KCCD may see a slight difference in their annual bill due to the results of this rate analysis. However, the funds will still be collected through the property tax statements sent by the County, and there will still be a maximum of $5 per parcel and $0.10 per acre. This document is modeled after documents produced by the FCS Group and the Pierce Conservation District and King Conservation District, as well as efforts by the Snohomish Conservation District, and Whidbey Island Conservation District. DRAFT KCCD Rates Analysis Page 2 of 15 June 22, 2016

Section I: Introduction Effective March 20, 2012, Engrossed Substitute House Bill (ESHB) 2567 added a new section to RCW 89.08, giving conservation districts the option of rates and charges as an alternative to the assessment approach. Districts are now able to charge per acre rates, per parcels rates, or both, subject to limitations. Section (3)(a) of the bill states: The system of rates and charges may include an annual per acre amount, an annual per parcel amount, or an annual per parcel amount plus an annual per acre amount. If included in the system of rates and charges, the maximum annual per acre rate or charge shall not exceed ten cents per acre. The maximum annual per parcel rate shall not exceed five dollars, except that for counties with a population of over one million five hundred thousand persons, the maximum annual per parcel rate shall not exceed ten dollars. Previously, conservation districts were only able to charge an assessment based on RCW 89.08.400. The statute specified that (a)n annual assessment rate shall be stated as either uniform annual per acre amount or an annual flat rate per parcel plus a uniform annual rate per acre amount. The caps for per parcel and per acre amounts were the same as the five or ten dollar per parcel charge and the ten cent per acre charge in the new ESHB 2567. Both sections treat timber and forest lands similarly, stating that forest lands used solely for the planting, growing, or harvesting of trees may be subject to rates/special assessments if such lands are served by the activities of the conservation districts. However, both sections also state that the per acre rate/assessment shall not exceed one-tenth of the weighted average per acre rate or charge/assessment on all other lands, but in lieu of a per parcel charge, a charge of up to three dollars per forest landowner may be imposed on each owner of forest lands whose forest lands are subject to a per acre rate/assessment. To approve the rates and charges, ESHB 2567 references RCW 89.08.400, which states that (t)he supervisors of a conservation district shall hold a public hearing on a proposed system of assessments shall gather information and shall alter the proposed system of assessments when appropriate. The main difference between these two sections of the statute is in the definitions of assessments and rates. An assessment is a user charge intended to recover the cost of improvements/services that increase the value of the property charged. A rate is a charge intended to recover the cost of public programs based on services received or negative impacts customers impose. In a rate construct the services received and the impacts charged for may be indirect. Further, the rate may show consideration for services furnished, to be furnished, or available to the landowner or benefits received, to be received, or available to the property in addition to other factors. The following section summarizes the rate analysis that has been developed by the KCCD. The goal of the analysis is to develop a rate structure and supporting rate that equitably recovers program costs within the constraints defined by RCW 89.08. DRAFT KCCD Rates Analysis Page 3 of 15 June 22, 2016

Section II: Rate Analysis The Kittitas County Conservation District (KCCD) rate structure features distinct rates by land use, based on the services/benefits received from District programs. KCCD worked to create the rate structure and supporting analysis with the support of the FCS Group. This work is based on similar efforts completed by the FCS Group with the Pierce Conservation District 1 and the King Conservation District 2. Each District program and associated cost is subject to a three-step allocation process to establish unit costs the building blocks of rate development. Each priority cost is first allocated between direct and indirect service/benefit provided. Cost recovery is then assigned to either the per parcel or per acre basis. Finally, cost recovery is allocated among customer classes based on the comparative amount of service/benefit enjoyed by each customer class from the resource priority. The technical analysis in its entirety is provided in Appendix A. A. General Approach Within the Kittitas County Conservation District boundaries, there are four major identified land use types, irrigated, non-irrigated, forestland and urban (incorporated municipalities). These land use types tie directly to priority natural resource concerns. A combination of classifications was utilized to identify these land use types. First, similar to the Special Assessment approved in 2006, the boundaries of the local Noxious Weed Districts were utilized to delineate irrigated, non-irrigated and forestlands. Within these designations, Department of Revenue land use codes assigned by the Kittitas County Assessor were utilized to further differentiate land uses. In order to facilitate application of the rate approach, KCCD staff split programs/services into the following major headings: Water, Fish & Wildlife, Forestry and Education/Outreach. These are broad categories that often include multiple priority resource concerns. For, example Water includes both water quality and water quantity. A major practice to address both is conversion from rill irrigation to sprinkler irrigation on cropland. This practice benefits soil health as well, as it allows landowners to more precisely apply nutrients and reduces soil erosion. Both the Water and the Fish & Wildlife categories include range health as related to livestock grazing. Work to improve the resiliency of range lands inherently improves water quality and habitat. In addition, embedded in each of these programs are the activities involved in operation of the KCCD that are necessary to implement the programs. These programs/services and the benefits they provide are further defined below: 1 FCS Group (2014). Pierce Conservation District Rate Study Report.

Host specific workshops as appropriate. Publish KCCD Newsletter Biannually Maintain website to be a significant source of up-todate technical and educational resources for landowners/managers. Using the collective expertise and judgement of KCCD staff and the Board of Supervisors, each program/service cost was allocated between direct and indirect benefits provided. These decisions were reached after much discussion and based on specific benefits each program/service provides. Most services provided by the KCCD are of indirect benefit. Service costs assigned to direct benefit represent unique services that specifically target a subset of the customer base. The direct and indirect benefit costs of each program/service were then allocated to each land use category. Each customer class was evaluated for the level of service/benefit received: no benefit, partial benefit compared to other classes, or full proportional benefit received. The chart below shows how these steps were followed for each Natural Resource Priority. DRAFT KCCD Rates Analysis Page 6 of 15 June 22, 2016

Chart displaying the allocation of costs as direct or indirect and per parcel and per acre. The allocations for each program/service between direct and indirect benefits were influenced by the Earth Economics report Special Benefit from Ecosystem Services: Economic Assessment of the King Conservation District 3 which states that approximately 1% of the total value provided by ecosystems is excludable benefit to the landowner. The report explains that over 98% of the total economic value provided by healthy ecosystems is in the form of non-excludable services or special benefits that landowners share with others. The King Conservation District has since used this report to inform their Rates and Charges proposal, stating that programs/services with economic support to working lands were allocated at 25% direct and 75% indirect. The programs and services in this proposal were allocated similarly. The programs/services with economic support of working lands (Cost Share Programs) are allocated at 25% direct and 75% indirect as these were deemed to be directed more specifically at those receiving the service/benefit, but still 3 Pittman, J. & Batker, D. (2006). Special Benefit from Ecosystem Services: Economic Assessment of the King Conservation District. Tacoma, WA: Earth Economics.

significantly of benefit to others indirectly. A number of other programs/services that were deemed to have some increased direct benefit to the property owner were allocated 5% direct and 95% indirect, including direct technical assistance and the forestry programs to improve forest health and/or reduce wildland fire fuels. The education/outreach components were deemed to be all indirect, as were the contingency funds for each natural resource priority category. One important result of the general approach is the recommendation that costs be recovered primarily in a per parcel, rather than per acre, rate. This determination recognizes that in particular, the indirect benefits/services provided by the KCCD are oftentimes enjoyed by parcel owners with little or no relationship to the size of the parcel. The exception to this approach is with regard to working resource lands and forest lands, where projects are completed and financial assistance is provided proportionate with the acreage addressed through the projects.

C. CUSTOMER BASE Kittitas County parcel files have been used to determine the number of chargeable parcels available to KCCD. When charging a rate, it is recommended to charge all those who receive a service/benefit. The only exceptions include federally owned lands, parcel account types other than Real Property, community owned parcels, and municipalities that have not opted in to the KCCD service area, including Ellensburg, Kittitas, South Cle Elum and Roslyn. There are 27,865 tax parcels available to be charged encompassing 799,032 acres in the boundaries of the KCCD. See Table 3 for a summary of the customer database. Customer types in this model were broken into three broad land use categories: Irrigated Land, Non- Irrigated Land, and Forestland using the boundaries of the Kittitas County Noxious Weed Districts as a guide (See Figure 2). Within these categories, land use was further broken down by the current Department of Revenue codes (WAC 458-53-030) assigned by the Kittitas County Assessor (see Figure 3).

The Kittitas County Assessor utilizes the Department of Revenue land use codes. This map displays the categories of those land use codes. DRAFT KCCD Rates Analysis Page 11 of 15 June 22, 2016

The portion of RCW 89.08.405 that addresses forest land states that Forest lands used solely for the planting, growing, or harvesting of trees may be subject to rates and charges if such lands are served by the activities of the conservation district. The Department of Revenue Code is based on RCW 84.33.035 (5), which defines forestland as... devoted primarily to growing and harvesting timber.... Thus, the forest land parcels indicated on the map in Figure 3 are further broken down by those meeting the definition in 89.08.405 so that in Table 3, 9 includes only lands that are solely utilized for planting, growing and harvesting trees. The remaining lands in the Department of Revenue Code for forest land are included in Category 8. D. RATE CALCULATION As described above, the land use categories were evaluated based on direct and indirect benefits received and were allocated either no benefit, partial benefit compared to other classes, or full proportional benefit compared to other classes. Each line item in the budget is allocated based on the direct or indirect service/benefit provided, assigned to either the per parcel or per acre basis, then allocated among customer classes based on the comparative amount of benefit/service received. The full rates are then calculated after subtracting other revenue, such as grant reimbursements, contracts, rental income, and other miscellaneous revenue. To the extent warranted, these offsetting revenues are allocated proportionately to each program/service. Per parcel rates necessary to recover the costs of programs and services range from $12.05 for nonirrigated land parcels to $12.26 for irrigation land parcels. All calculated rates can be seen in the following table. DRAFT KCCD Rates Analysis Page 12 of 15 June 22, 2016

E. RATE ADJUSTMENT The rates shown above would cover all budgeted costs less other revenue, but would exceed the five dollar per parcel limit prescribed in RCW 89.08.400 and upheld by ESHB 2567. To conform to this cap, the highest rate is decreased to five dollars and the others are decreased proportionately. When the rates are decreased, the lowest per parcel rate becomes $4.91 and the lowest per acre rate $0.03. All reduced rates can be seen in the following table. The per landowner rate for the forest land is $3. Table 5.
