18 June 5, 2015 To: Fountain Inn City Council, RE: 2015/2016 Budget In May we presented the first draft of certain of the City s budgets, which were approved by City Council upon first reading. This letter is to summarize any significant changes to the Budgets approved on first reading, and to request a second reading. GENERAL FUND OPERATING BUDGET The cover letter issued to the City Council on May 11, 2015 (a copy of which is enclosed for your convenience) outlined assumptions regarding increases in millage, merit pay percentage, impact of open positions and other matters for the General Fund. No changes have been made to those assumptions in this final proposed General Fund Operating Budget. Since May we have revised the Proposed General Fund Operating Budget as follows: 1. Increased TAN Proceeds from $545,000 to $1,000,000 based on a detailed monthly cash flow projection. We also revised budgeted TAN interest expense from $3,000 to $16,000. Budgeted issuance costs remain at $6, Increased Main Street landscaping in the Streets department by $4, Decreased Reserve from $17,000 to zero to offset the increases above. A summary of the revised Proposed General Fund Operating Budget for fiscal year 2016, compared to the Amended Budget for fiscal year 2015, is as follows (see attachment): FY 2016 FY 2015 Revenues: TAN Proceeds $1,000,000 $ 545,000 Transfers In 520, ,604 Administrative Fees from Gas Dept. 760, ,000 Grant Revenues 376, ,231 Other Revenues 5,601,701 5,288,120 Total Revenues 8,257,856 7,355,955 Expenses: TAN Payments, Issuance Costs and Interest $1,022, ,854 Compensation, Taxes and Insurance 4,430,060 4,196,856 Bond and Master Lease Payments 285, ,754 Grant Expenses 469,194 20,600 Other Expenses 2,100,592 2,224,901 Total Expenses 8,306,856 7,300,955 Revenues Greater (Less) Than Expenses ($49,000) $ 55,000 1

19 The General Fund Operating Budget is balanced except for the following components: FY 2016 FY 2015 Tax Revenues to Increase Fund Balance $51,000 $ - Restricted Grant Revenues - 100,000 Expenses Paid from Restricted Fund Balance (100,000) ($45,000) ($49,000) $ 55,000 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND 2015 GO BOND BUDGET AMENDMENT In February 2015 City Council approved a Budget for issuance of 2015 GO Bonds and related Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) expenditures. A CIP Budget for fiscal year 2016 had not yet been prepared in May Management has since developed a proposed fiscal year 2016 CIP Budget as well as a proposed Amendment to the fiscal year 2015 CIP Budget. In essence, certain CIP expenditures to be funded by GO Bond Proceeds will not be completed in fiscal year 2015 and will carry over to fiscal year Therefore, City Council is requested to approve the following (see attachment): Amendment to the fiscal year 2015 CIP budget to reduce expenditures by $649,583. Proposed CIP Budget for fiscal year 2016 of $649,583, of which $640,753 will be funded by proceeds of GO Bonds Series 2015 and $8,830 will be funded by proceeds of GO Bonds Series HOSPITALITY BOND FUND City Council is requested to approve the following (see attachment): Amendment to the fiscal year 2015 Hospitality Revenue Bond budget to reflect total expenditures of $47,185 towards Woodside Streetscape. Proposed Hospitality Revenue Bond budget for fiscal year 2016 of $545,725, towards Woodside Streetscape. OTHER BUDGETS No changes have been made to the following proposed budgets which were approved on first reading in May 2015: Gas Dept., Sewer Dept., and Hospitality Operating Fund. See attached Summary Budgets. 2

21 May 11, 2015 To: Fountain Inn City Council, RE: 2015/2016 Budget It is our goal to continue providing the high level of service the city has traditionally provided while maintaining a strong financial position. CITY As of today, we have not received the millage cap letter from the state. We have confirmed the CPI is 1.62% and we are estimating population growth the same as last year at 1.16%. We did not increase millage last year. Our millage bank balance is 1.64 mils plus the estimated millage for this year of 1.70 equates to 3 mils. Proposed: 3 mil increase for operations. Equates to $75,000. The impact to the homeowner of a $100,000 home is $12 per year. Proposed: 2 mil increase to increase unassigned fund balance. Equates to $51,000. The impact to the homeowner of a $100,000 home is $8 per year. Greenville County Council has approved a 4 mil increase on first reading equating to $83,000 for the Fountain Inn Fire Service Area. This will fund 2 new firefighters and uniforms. These positions will be filled January We have requested a 5% increase for the Laurens County Fire Contract. We have not received a response. Salaries and Benefits: Normally, there are 26 pay periods in a year. This year there are 27 pay periods which is increasing the salary and benefit expense $145,000. We are proposing a one-time transfer from the gas department to fund the 27 th payroll. Due to funding we were unable to replace open positions within the city. Administration Office 1 part-time accounting assistant Public Works 1 full time Public Works Clerk. We moved an Administration Department employee over to help out in the Public Works office. We also moved a Public Works Maintenance employee over to the Gas department to work 50% in the gas department and 50% at the Younts Center to do part-time cleaning. Police 1 full time Police Officer Younts Center requested a full-time maintenance employee. We have budgeted for a part-time person. We do not have the funding to implement the salary study. 1

22 A 2% Merit Increase in the amount of $31,000 has been budgeted. Employee evaluations are completed on their anniversary dates. A merit increase, up to 2%, is implemented at that time. SC Retirement and Police Retirement rates increased again this year. SCRS Employer Rates increased from 10.75% to 10.91% PORS Employer Rates increased from 13.01% to 13.34% SCRS Employee Rate increased from 8% to 8.16% PORS Employee Rate increased from 8.41% to 8.74% We have budgeted a 12% increase in employee health insurance to be implemented December GAS DEPT Balanced budget $7,018,825 (Budget attached) SEWER Revenue $714,059 Operations Expense $587,990 (Budget attached) HOSPITALITY BUDGET (Attached) 2

24 Millage: As part of the compromise reached on Point of Sale legislation in the 2011 legislative session, local governments and schools districts now have the opportunity to look back or "bank" millage increases for future use if needed. Before this change in the law, millage increases were limited to the prior calendar year s average Consumer Price Index increase year plus the percentage increase in the city s previous year population as determined by the state Budget and Control Board. Officials now have the flexibility to raise millage in one year by up to the previous three years total increases allowed by law but not previously imposed by council plus the current millage cap. This will discourage the "use it or lose it" millage increase Act 388 encouraged. Current Operational Millage: Greenville County assessed value $19,198,110 x.061 mills = $1,171,085 in revenue. Laurens County assessed value $6,257,301 x.061 mills = $381,695 in revenue (-118K Local Option Sales Tax) Total operational revenue $1,434,780 Value of a mill = $25,455 Current Debt Millage: Greenville County assessed value $19,198,110 x.0116 mills = $222,698 in revenue. Laurens County assessed value $6,257,301 x.0116 mills = $72,585 in revenue. Total debt revenue $295,283 Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
