COUNTY OF HARNETT 1995-96 BUDGET MESSAGE TO: THE HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS H. L. Sorrell, Jr. , Chairman Beatrice B. Hill, Vice Chairman Joseph T. Bowden Walt Titchener Dan Andrews . The proposed Harnett County Budget for 1995-96 is hereby submitted for review and consideration by the Board of Commissioners. In this time of change and reform this proposal provides for reduction in many areas and limited growth overall. It should also be noted that the General Fund tax rate remains at $.70 for the third year in a row. This document was developed following individual meetings with each department head and after extensive review by staff. -~. --~-_...- 74 The following budget message notes the budget highlights as they I relate to revenue and expenditures. Also, we have provided the Board with as much support documentations as possible. Before beginning the budget overview, I would like to thank Vanessa Young, Finance Officer, and Tony Wilder, Assistant County Manager, for their assistance in developing this document. Also I would like to thank members of the finance and administrative staff who assisted in this effort. . General Fund Revenue The 1995-96 budget revenue projections have been developed at a time when the General Assembly is considering actions which could impact our overall revenue. Therefore, we have developed this document with these potential revenue reductions in mind. Also, overall revenue projections have been developed utilizing conservative growth projections. In regards to cash flow, the County remains in a strong position due to the Fund Balance we continue to maintain. The following review highlights the status of the major County revenue sources: Ad Valorem Tax - The budget has been developed with a tax collection rate of 95.63%. At a tax rate of $.70, it is projected that current year property tax revenue will total . $13,990,708. Sales Tax - This major source of revenue has increased somewhat, but for budgetary purpose, we have estimated a very conservative rate of growth. Keep in mind that 1.8 million dollars of this revenue source goes to public school debt service. Fees - The budget proposed does include some proposed fee increases, which are detailed in departmental budgets. The Public Utilities' budget provides for an overall water increase of $.15 per thousand gallons to help fund the water plant expansion. Also, fees for the Buies Creek/Coats Water and Sewer District are of particular concern and will be increased to fund operating expenses. . Fund Balance - This proposal contains an appropriation from the General Fund Balance totaling $1,300,000. While it is our hope that this appropriation can be decreased by the close of the 1995-96 budget year, to accomplish this I must recommend that we appropriate no further funds from this source until some of those funds already appropriated can be replaced. -7 r.= I) r .~.... General Fund Expenditures During review of the proposed budget, you will note that many departmental budgets have actually decreased, while many more reflect very limited growth. Items that do reflect s"ignificant growth include debt service, which reflects payments for the DSS/Health Building and the Public School Facilities, . Sheriff's Department Communications, which provides for major upgrades in our overall communications, and Campbell Law Enforcement, which provides for the County assuming this responsibility with total reimbursement from the University. Finally, Public Assistance growth has moderated but continues to be a significant part of our budget. Personnel - Funding has been provided for a 2.5% cost-of- living increase. Also, funds are available within contingency to guarantee each employee a pay increase of at least $500. Contingency also contains funds which could be utilized to fund special reclassifications or position requests. These requests will be considered during the budget process. In regards to new positions, the General . Fund budget does not provide for any new full-time permanent employees. Public Utilities does provide for personnel to service East Central Water District. Public Buildings - The General Fund budget provides for several capital appropriations. These include: Courthouse Elevator $125,000 CCCC $100,000 HPE $100,000 The first appropriation will allow the County to meet ADA requirements at the courthouse. The other two will meet the County's commitment to two major capital programs. Sheriff - In response to communication concerns, we are recommending the appropriation of funds to upgrade radio communications. Approximate cost per year $150,000. . EMS - While the proposed budget does not provide for a major expansion of EMS, I would like to review with the Board during the budget process several options which have been formulated with input from staff and the rescue squads. Human Resource Programs - While welfare reform continues to be debated, the impact of Human Resource Programs on county budgets continues to grow. While growth has slowed somewhat, the total county dollars obligated to DSS has 76 surpassed $5,000,000. In fact, local dollars for DSS I programs may surpass the total allocated for the Public Schools' current expense. Board of Education - Last year Harnett County began the largest capital projects program ever undertaken by the County. The majority of this program is dedicated to the Board of Education. Therefore, this year's budget reflects . a significant appropriation for the debt service payment for the uncoming year (2.8 million). Also, the budget provides for a 3% increase for school current expense and capital needs. The total appropriation to the public schools, including debt service, is recommended to be $8,505,315. Solid Waste Fund This enterprise fund has stabilized and become self- supporting in regards to operating expense. It is our intent to place any revenue above and beyond the operating cost into a capital revenue fund which would be needed once the county is required to dispose of waste in a Subtitle D Landfill. This year we will face decisions regarding how we will dispose of our waste in the future. Public Utilities . This proposed budget provides the rate increases as outlined in the schedule provided within the public utilities budget. The $.15 is the second portion of the increase necessary to fund the water plant expansion. In regards to expenditures, we should point out that the budget does reflect the increased cost of new water quality regulations and the start-up of East Central. Also, it should be noted that future budgets must be proposed to address expansion plans relating to both water and sewer services. Conclusion Due to past conservative planning, Harnett County will be able to continue to provide current services while also being able to maintain the current General Fund tax rate. At the same . time, we will also be meeting major capital needs in Public Education and DSS/Health. The Board is to be commended for its leadership in making this possible while our gratitude should go to the department heads and employees who have carried out programs in an efficient and effect~~ ~ Neil Emory, Budget Officer ------- 77 s Attachment 8.
