GENERAL GOVERNMENT

The General Government section includes the budgets for the County Executive, who has county‐wide responsibility for day‐to‐day operations; the County Council, which is the County’s policy making body; and the departments of the Assessor/Treasurer and Auditor, who are elected officials under the Executive. It also includes several other departmental budgets whose activities are of a general government nature.

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2009 The Assessor/Treasurer’s office produced the Pierce County Assessor/Treasurer’s Investigative Report on September 2, 2009 that exposed an alleged 368,642 forged false entries in to the Assessor/Treasurer’s office official records during the years 2001 through 2008. In addition, there were also yearly forged falsified Assessor/Treasurer’s office reports to the Washington State Department of Revenue and the Pierce County Budget and Finance in those same years 2001 through 2008. The department completed 44,119 residential and commercial physical inspections that were scheduled for 2009. Also completed 4,674 of the 15,316 alleged forged falsified physical inspections that were falsely reported as completed in 2008, for a total of 48,793 physical inspections completed in cycle 2 year, 2009. Notices of value were sent to every taxpayer in Pierce County, for both real and personal property. In the past only those properties with a change in value received notification. An electronic workflow process was implemented for property tax protest letters that increases efficiency and allows for notification to the taxpayer of receipt of their protest letter. The department successfully completed the Beta test program for filing personal property affidavits electronically and an update was performed to the Assessor/Treasurer’s website to include more helpful information for taxpayers, such as appeal forms and progress reports. The Assessor/Treasurer’s office responded to 916 destroyed property requests which provided property tax relief for those taxpayers that had property that was damaged or destroyed by such things as snow and flooding. With concerted effort by appraisal and tax adjustments teams, the department adjusted value on the majority of these properties, so that the affected taxpayers received 2009 tax statements that reflected the adjustment. The Auditor's Office saved taxpayers over $33,000 by reducing the number of words in candidates’ statements in the Voters Pamphlet from 200 to 150 words. Even so, Pierce County candidates are still allowed more words than State Representatives who are restricted to 100 words in the State Voters’ Pamphlet. In addition, $ 44,000 was saved by publishing the general election pamphlet in only two (instead of four) editions Section Contents and without color.

use of Ranked Choice Voting for county level offices. Pierce County remains dedicated to promoting accessible voting for all its citizens. In that effort, earlier this year, the Auditor applied for and received additional Help America Vote Act funding of $49,000 to continue our efforts. In the Licensing Division, the Passport section continued with its ever popular Saturday Passport Fairs having one each quarter. During the events held in June and September the Vehicle Licensing Division joined in with services for license renewals and title transfers. The Vehicle Licensing Division was once again successful in its request for an additional Department of Licensing work station in the Auditor’s Office and proudly opened the new Bonney Lake subagent office in August. In the first three quarters, pet licensing sales increased by 9% compared to 2008. The Animal Services Division successfully established a protective shelter system for impounded abused and neglected horses and other livestock. By contracting with local stables and veterinarians, a large animal can be immediately medically evaluated and placed in an appropriate stable facility until the case is resolved. A livestock trailer was purchased from vehicle cost savings. During the first three quarters, Animal Control Officers (ACOs) responded to 3,803 calls and received more than 34,387 phone calls to our non‐emergency PETS line. Staff attended 16 community outreach events throughout the year. Two of our five Animal Control Officers completed the second and final level of the National Equine Cruelty Investigations School in Durango, Colorado. As of this year, all have completed level one; funded in part by scholarships. In the spring, two ACO’s completed Reserve Police Officer Academy graduating in the top five of the class. A third ACO will begin the academy this fall. The Auditor’s Office hosted the National Animal Cruelty Investigations School Level 2, and over 30 officers from across the country attended. At the request of the Auditor, the Animal Services Division participated in a performance audit. In addition, a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with surrounding municipalities for animal services mutual aid was created and is being reviewed by participating parties. In May 2009, the Auditor convened a Canine Advisory Panel and held its first County Canine Conference in October. In September, a County Horse Conference was held with the goal of making it an annual event. Through October, 2009, the Recording division “eRecorded” (electronically recorded) over 20,200 documents since November of 2008 when the process first begun. As of November 2009, approximately 15% of our documents are now electronically recorded. The office is moving towards faster, paperless recordings that offer customers reduced recording time, reduced lag time with rejects, documents that are searchable as soon as they are recorded, and no paper documents to handle or mail back. This service not only saves the customer time and money by eliminating office visits, and in some instances eliminates having to re‐record documents by correcting errors now being caught in the initial on‐line review. Overall, the impact on workload has been a shift in staff efforts with some minimal savings in outgoing mail. The Recording division is approximately 83% through the digital image conversion project, slated to be completed in 2010. Testing of the new eREET module, which is still under development, is slated for January, 2010. This will allow staff to accept and transmit Real Estate Excise Tax Affidavits and record real estate sales electronically. Cross‐training efforts in the Recording and Licensing Divisions have maximized staff ability to provide services to customers and still keep backlogs to a minimum. It has also allowed the office to maximize productivity thereby slashing overtime. The Auditor’s Office also initiated an Extern Program in partnership with a local Community College and a Tribal organization to provide students with work site experience at no cost to the County.

The Auditor Information Technology (IT) activities for 2009 kept the IT staff busy. All desktop computers and user accounts were migrated to Microsoft Active Directory as the primary authenticator and email services were migrated to Microsoft Exchange\Outlook. The office also began a migration to the Microsoft Office 2007 productivity suite. The database server hardware, database software, and operating system for the voter registration system (DIMS) were all upgraded. The recording system (Anthem) printing was converted to web services and all receipt printers were replaced. The number of accounts being managed for organizations that are eRecording documents grew significantly. An Auditor Intranet and wiki were brought on‐line giving staff quick and easy access to information, procedures, and forms. The eballot program for overseas voters was enhanced, voters are now sent a link to a personalized web site where they can download their ballot, affidavit, envelope, and instructions eliminating issues encountered when these were attached as email attachments. Continuity of Operations Plans (COOP) have been completed for all of the divisions in the Auditors’ Office except for the State Department of Licensing’s (DOL’s) portion of the Licensing Division. The Licensing supervisor is working with DOL to create a plan compliant with their requirements. The completed plans have been forwarded to Emergency Management for review. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded Pierce County the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the 2007 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). This marks the 24th consecutive year the Budget and Finance Accounting Division achieved this distinction for the financial report. The GFOA also award the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to the Budget Division for the 22nd consecutive year. A new version of DOLFIN (Distributed On Line Financial System) was released in late June to implement Accounts Receivable functionality. The release replaces a legacy mainframe application with an entirely new user interface and includes an electronic review path. It greatly enhances user inquiry/reporting capability and eliminated duplicate data entry, automated audit functions, and dramatically streamlined processing. The custom built DOLFIN application is a joint effort of the Budget and Finance and Information Technology departments. The Revenue Division negotiated a contract with Bank of America to provide general banking services for the County. The Purchasing Division co hosted a very successful vendor outreach event. Over 100 Pierce County businesses came to learn how to do business with local governments. General Services processed over 5,000 records requests; managed a records inventory exceeding 44,000 boxes; processed 1,800 print orders resulting in over 6,000,000 pieces and over 12,000,000 quick copy pieces; processed over 2,200,000 pieces of mail; and, presorted over 1,000,000 pieces of mail for a postage savings of over $81,500. Fleet Rental continued to emphasize hybrid and high mileage vehicles. Currently 25% of the fleet (152 vehicles) are alternative fuel vehicles. The Human Resources Department upgraded the Classification and Compensation website with an interactive Salary Classification Plan that is searchable by job title, job class number or bargaining unit. Civil Service conducted five promotional examinations, 27 entry‐level examinations, six physical fitness examinations, and seven pre‐test workshops to provide the Sheriff’s Department with sufficient candidate’s to fill vacancies. The Organizational Development & Training Division trained 2,567 County employees and conducted 146 classes, for a total of 9,050 training hours; and the staff conducted eight facilitation/coaching sessions for County departments and external agencies. In addition, 48 training sessions were conducted for external agencies, producing $13,020 in revenue for the County. Labor Relations assisted departments in drafting and implementing 72 disciplinary actions, handled eight grievances, conducted 27 workplace investigations, completed negotiations with 12 bargaining units and began

Pierce County 2010 Budget 89 General Government negotiations with four bargaining units. In addition, Labor Relations assisted several departments in the implementation of unpaid furlough days which included impact bargaining with unions and assisted with the layoff of approximately 130 employees. 46 ADA reasonable accommodations were completed (19 are pending) and 21 EEO complaints were received; four were handled by outside contractors and the remaining were handled internally. Self Insurance and Workers’ Compensation in 2009 again successfully negotiated on behalf of Pierce County all of our insurance policy renewals under the forecasted and budgeted amounts. As of November 23, 2009, our department has collected just over $50,000 in recoveries and subrogation payments for damages to County property. During 2009, Risk Management staff conducted a comprehensive review of the entire 400 page Pierce County Safety Manual and placed the updates on our Intranet site. This allows employees the ability to acquire safety information more easily. It also saves on the costs associated with printing and distribution of updates. Pierce County is required by OSHA and WISHA regulation to have Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s) on file for all hazardous chemicals used in each workplace. These MSDS’s must be readily available for employees to review. During 2009, Risk Management staff implemented an online management system to make MSDS’s available to all County Departments and employees. This system is a very cost effective way to organize and maintain the thousands of MSDS’s the County must make available to employees.
