COUNTY OF HARNETT 1996-97 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 1996-97 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 fourth year in a row. This document was developed following individual meetings with each department head and after extensive review by staff. The following budget message notes the budget highlights as they 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 1996-97 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 95.69%. At a tax rate of $.70, it is projected that current year property tax revenue will total $14,500,000. Sales Tax - This major source of revenue has increased somewhat, but for budgetary purpose, we have estimated a ~O1 ,r ".~--;' ~ " " Keep in mind that 2.1 " " . .' very conservative rate of growth. -'-"_~ "-~_";' -,;4,.. million dollars of this revenue source goes to public education capital cost. 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. 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 1996-97 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. General Fund Expenditures Growth in General Fund expenditures continues to be low to moderate except in the area of Human Resources. Once again, Medicaid costs have had a significant impact on our budget. Other areas of expansion in the budget are related to overall . county growth or to new county facilities such as the DSS/Health Building. Personnel - Funding has been provided for a 4% 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, several have been added to allow county departments to meet needs placed upon them by the rapid growth we are experiencing. Also, Public Buildings' personnel have been added to offset the loss of job services programs and to provide for maintenance of the new DSS/Health facility. New positions in the budget . include: Safety/Emergency Services Inspection $24,195 Deputy Register of Deeds 17,014 Public BUildings/Housekeepers ( 2 ) 14,000 Sheriff's Department/(2 positions) 19,000 Planning/Permit Clerk 15,581 Animal Control Officer 16,282 Public Health Nurse 24,195 CAP (Approved April '96 ) 24,195 Public Utilities: Assistant Director 43,700 Collections Officer 21,500 Locator 19,416 Dist Tech I Pump/Elec 17,014 Dist Tech II 19,416 Receptionist/Operator - Temp 15,000 Customer Service Clerk - Temp 16,282 ..----- - -, .~---~------------- ---------.--,-----~~-~ --~- ," 382 In addition, several departments reflect increases in part- time funding. These will be noted during review of the budget. Public Buildings - As noted, this department reflects increases due to two factors. First, several jobs programs, which provided personnel, have been reduced or eliminated. Second, the new building will require additional personnel . to ensure that it is maintained properly. Finally, Public Buildings' allocations provide additional funding for HPE and the Community College construction program. Human Resource Programs - While welfare reform continues to be debated, the impact of Human Resource programs on county budgets continues to grow. The proposed budget reflects current Human Resource policy which, as we are all aware, could change drastically over the coming year. Even under current policy, tremendous growth continues in Medicaid and other Human Resource programs. Board of Education - The proposed budget provides for a 5% increase in current expense as well as the allocation of $300,000 for buses. Please note that $150,000 of the . allocation for buses would come from sales tax proceeds. Total public education funding $9,078.427. 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 third portion of the increase necessary to fund the water plant expansion. The Public Utilities' budget also incorporates a reorganization of this department. During the budget process, changes will be noted and discussed. -. 3g3 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 effecti~er~ ~ Neii EmoryY'Budget Officer ATTACHMENT 8.
