Honorable Mayor &
Members of the City Council
City of Dunn, North Carolina
Mayor and Council Members:
As the FY 2018-2019 budget is being prepared, revenues continue to experience marginal growth due to
the increased portion of State sales tax distribution. Even though our community has grown in recent
years, the growth did not outpace the drop in values recorded in last year's revaluation. As a result the
current tax rate (.50) will bring in $15,000 less, which will be the first decline in revenue in four years.
The City's property owners enjoy the lowest tax rate of comparable communities in our area; therefore,
to maintain our work program without proposing increases in the tax rate, I have sought revenue from
fees as well as using sales tax revenue. The fees and increased sales tax revenue will be used to support
needed expenditures, ensuring that funds are available to complete the Council's goals.
The fee increases proposed in this budget have a specific function:
® The increased portion of vehicle tag fee will go directly to street resurfacing as required by
General Statute.
O The stormwater fee increase will go directly to repair and upgrade projects as required by
General Statute.
The garbage and recycling rate increase is a direct result from the contractual increase
(Consumer Price Index increase) from Republic Services.
The sewer rate increase will offset the Duke Energy electrical rate increases and repair projects.
The 2017- 2018 budget year presented me with a few lessons learned; and therefore I have altered some
strategies to complete projects for the City. Below are my top areas of focus for the upcoming year:
First, is to amend the street resurfacing program which began this fiscal year. Our budget last year
proposed a paving program that would consistently spend $300,000 per year while at the same time
repairing utilities for the next round of paving. The amount of paving proved to be not significant
enough to bring in any paving contractors to bid the proposed amount of work. Realizing the need to
DUNN 6d71t7ltttiiE ?)d
-' Alillm¢I'kE6tl7
wxah ini
adjust the budget, and dealing with an economy of scale, I am proposing $785,000 resurfacing budget
for 18/19 which will include unspent paving funds from the 17/18 Powell Bill, the 18/19 Powell Bill
and the new vehicle tag fees. Subsequent street resurfacing will happen every other year, which should
produce a biennial project of approximately $800,000. The main benefit to this plan remains intact, as
the City will have completed resurfacing projects with no accumulated debt. This program utilizes all
of the funds received from the Powell Bill and increases in the vehicle tag fees for public right-of-way
improvements. Additionally we will continue to fund the utility repairs that must be completed a year
prior to paving. Unfortunately the two emergency repairs have absorbed the bulk of the utility repair
budgets for our current year but we will strive to continue repairs in the 18/19 budget. This will allow
utility crews to begin preparing streets for paving in future years.
The second, is to continue replacing City vehicles. The goal of this program is to improve the safety,
reliability and appearance of the city vehicle fleet. Although this program should be funded each year,
it will be susceptible to fluctuations in available funds. Therefore, the focus will be on vehicles older
than ten years and above 100,000 miles. This year we propose to replace two pickup trucks, one dump
truck and two passenger vehicles. The other vehicle program is the replacement of five Police cars.
A third item, is the support of the Police Department as they move forward in their CLEA enrollment.
Once the City is enrolled and inspected, the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement
Agencies will notify the City of deficiencies and depending on the nature of the items, the Chief will
bring budget needs to the Council.
Lastly, there are employee changes I would like to implement:
i I am proposing to add a Community Planner in the Planning and Inspections Department. There
were two planners for many years and the workload for this department has steadily increased. The
Community Planner will work with our partner organizations such as Dunn Community
Development Corporation, Downtown Dunn Development Corporation and the Dunn Area
Chamber of Commerce, in addition to other planning duties established by the Planning and
Inspections Director. A portion of this salary will be realized from the elimination of a part-time
building inspector position.
The Public Works and Utility Department anticipates the retirement of two key personnel, which
will require some re -organization. The changes to the department structure will require the addition
of a skilled equipment operator.
A currently vacant (funded) position is that of the Assistant City Manager. I plan to begin recruiting
for that position this summer.
Finally, the COLA proposed for this year is 3.0%. Additionally, the City will award up to a 2%
merit increase based upon employee evaluations, effective after January 1, 2019. This
recommendation is a reflection of the consensus from the budget planning session from March. The
COLA will keep the employees' take home pay consistent with the cost of living, and through
supervisor led evaluations, the merit pool of funds will begin to reward those employees who
exceed expectations.
Submitted below are the estimated revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year July 1, 2018 through
June 30, 2019. Highlights of the proposed FY2018-2019 Budget are as follows:

The proposed 2018-2019 budget represents a level of funding which will allow City staff to continue to
improve the level of service to our residents by decreasing the time between when a project is identified
and when a project is completed.
The City Department Heads have done an exceptional job with scrutinizing their departments and
making cuts where feasible.

hesitate to give me a call.

and infrastructure.

final designs are almost complete and will be brought to the council for approval.
• The automated meter -reader vendor review is in its final stages and a recommendation will be
presented soon.
• Unexpected structural failures monopolize the budget, putting a halt to other scheduled
maintenance.
