Resolution of Intent to Adopt the 2008-09 Orange County Budget Attachment 2. FY 2008-09 Budget Ordinance INFORMATION CONTACT: Donna Coffey, (919) 245-2151 Attachment 3. Link Government Services Center Capital Project Ordinance Attachment 4. Information Technology Capital Project Ordinance Attachment 5. County Grant Project Ordinances PURPOSE: To adopt County's budget ordinance, School and County capital project ordinances, and County grant project ordinances for fiscal year 2008-09 and authorize a Parks Conservation Technician II position, effective October 1, 2008, at no additional cost to the FY 2008-09 approved General Fund budget. BACKGROUND: At the budget work session on June 17, 2008, the Board made a series of decisions regarding the County's Recommended FY 2008-09 budget. Attachment 1 of this agenda abstract, Resolution of Intent to Adopt the 2008-09 Orange County Budget outline specific changes approved by the Board on June 17. The list below highlights major changes to the recommended budget included: • Orange County's FY 2008-09 General Fund budget following the June 17 work session totals $183,005,580. This is $5,287,668 less than the recommended FY 2008-09 budget of $188,293,476. o The reductions decrease the recommended ad valorem tax rate of 103.8 cents per $100 valuation by 4 cents to 99.8 cents. o This is 4.8 cents more than the FY 2007-08 tax rate of 95 cents per $100 valuation. Commissioners approved the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools Special District Tax rate at 23 cents per $100 of property valuation, an increase of 2.65 cents over the FY 2007- 08 tax rate. Revenues generated by the approved property tax rate are expected to generate $18.6 million for the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools in FY 2008-09, an increase of $2.3 million over the FY 2007-08 projected district tax revenues. o The tax rate increase is directly related to increased expenditures the District expects to incur with the opening of Morris Grove Elementary School and the addition of a senior class at Carrboro High School in fall 2008. Recommended General Fund current expense funding for Chapel Hill Carrboro City and Orange County Schools was reduced by $1,060,113 bringing the per pupil appropriation for fiscal year 2008-09 to $3,200, an increase of $131 per student over the fiscal year 2007-08 per pupil appropriation of $3,069. This equates to 20 percent of the total $5,287,668 General Fund reduction. o A large portion of the decrease, $660,113, relates to the difference between the salary increases included in the recommended budget and those being considered by the General Assembly. At the time the recommended budget was presented to the Board, it appeared as if the State budget would include a 5 percent salary increase for teachers. However, both the State House and Senate budgets allow fora 3 percent increase. The difference between 5 and 3 percent equates to $660,113 for Chapel Hill Carrboro City and Orange County Schools. o In addition, Commissioners agreed, at the June 17, 2008 work session, to reduce school current expense by an additional $400,000. o Annual funding for Chapel Hill Carrboro City and Orange County Schools, including current expense, short and long range capital, debt service, fair funding, health and safety resources, totals $90.2 million and equate to 49.3 percent of the total General Fund budget. o Current expense funding for Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, including ad valorem and special district tax proceeds, totals $56,056,981 and equates to 96.5 percent of the district's budget request of $58,090,154. o For Orange County Schools, current expense funding for FY 2008-09 totals $23,126,430 and equates to 94.8 percent of the district's budget request of $24,393,193. Orange County Schools does not have a special district tax to supplement monies received from the County's ad valorem tax. Recommended General Fund expenses for County departments and outside agencies were reduced by $4,227,615. o Commissioners approved a plan to transition 12.75 long-term temporary positions to permanent staff. The cost of these ad valorem supported positions equals $138,989. Two additional long-term temporary positions, funded with federal monies and Solid Waste Enterprise Fund revenues were approved as permanent full-time equivalent positions. 0 11.7 full-time equivalent positions of the total recommended 23.675 positions were approved to staff new facilities coming on line this year and to address health and safety needs for residents. The net County cost of these new positions totals $402, 046. o Commissioners agreed to postpone opening of West Ten Park until August 2009 and Northern Park until April 2009. The postponement results in operational and capital savings of $150,000 and staff savings of $105,157 generated by not approving two Parks Conservation Technician positions. However, the opening of Northern Park in April 2009 necessitates approving the Parks Conservation Tech II for October 1, 2008. Substantial completion of the park will occur this fall, and personnel will be needed to maintain the park and nurture the fields until the opening in April. The cost of this addition can be absorbed in the Parks and Recreation budget by shifting operational costs for other park projects to summer 2009. Staff plans to bring updated park construction timetables to the Board at its regular August 19, 2008 meeting. o Beginning July 1, 2008, County positions that are not required to maintain essential services such as those related to public safety, health, protective services, face athree-month hiring delay. Anticipated savings from the delay total $400,000. o The Board agreed to defer, for one year, two major capital initiatives - renovations of the Link Government Services Center and purchase of Central Permitting Software. The cumulative savings generated by the deferral equates to $1,325,000 or the equivalent of just over one cent on the FY 2008-09 ad valorem tax rate. The deferral of these projects does not reflect recurring reductions in the General Fund. The attached Link Government Services Center and Information Technology capital project ordinances reflect these changes. o Maintaining county contributions to outside agencies at the FY 2007-08 funding levels results in a savings of $361,630 from the recommended funding level. Based on changes-to-date in the recommended budget, the Board has funded just over 96 percent of the funding requests received from Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, Orange County Schools and Durham Technical Community College. Just under 83 percent of the requests received from County departments and outside agencies has been funded. Attachment 2 of this agenda abstract, "Fiscal Year 2008-09 Budget Ordinance" represents the legislation that actually implements the 2008-09 annual operating budget for the County. FINANCIAL IMPACT: As outlined in the Background section and noted in the budget ordinance and individual project ordinances. 4 RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board 1. Adopt the 2008-09 budget, capital, and grant project ordinances consistent with the parameters outlined in the Board's "Resolution of Intent to Adopt the FY 2008-09 Orange County Budget" 2. Authorize a Parks Conservation Technician II position, effective October 1, 2008, at no additional cost to the FY 2008-09 approved General Fund budget. ~N-~i~men,~- I ~./ Resolution of Intent fo Adopt the 2008-09 Orange County Budget June 24, 2008 Resolution of Intent to Adopt the 2008-09 Orange County Budget The items outlined below summarize decisions that the Board acted upon June 77, 2008 in approving the 2008-09 Budget.

Annual compensation for Commissioners will include a County contribution for each Commissioner to the Deferred Compensation (457) Supplemental Retirement Plan that is the same as the County contribution for non-law enforcement County employees to the State 401(k) plan. ~r is Section XI. Budget Control General Statutes of the State of North Carolina provide for budgetary control measures to exist between a county and public school system.
