Allen, Clerk Roanoke County Board of Supervisors cc: File Resolutions of Appreciation File BUDGET WORK SESSION March 20, 1990 County Administrator's Overview Mr. Chairman and Members of the Board: The information presented during this work session attempts to meet the goals set during the last Board retreat. This is a preliminary budget and is not yet balanced for there are many priorities to be decided and funding levels that must be finalized. At this time, budget requests exceed revenues by almost $6.5 million. Two more budget work sessions are scheduled for April 10 and April 24. More complete information regarding State revenues for schools, health, and recorda- tion fees will be available by those dates. This promises to be a very good budget year, but the Board will have to make some difficult decisions to address the long-range needs of the County. BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS ° No tax increases are anticipated, but a limited number of user fees will be recommended. ° Consideration of a $12 million School and County capital needs program. ° Opening of the new Roanoke/Botetourt County Fire Station. ° Request for six new Fire and Rescue personnel. ° Beginning of the Roanoke County Police Department. ° Request for six new Police Department personnel. ° Implementation of the salary survey. ° 5 per cent merit increases for County and School employees, with a request for 5.2 per cent. ° Increased funding for School and County health care. ° Expansion of the recycling program. ° Replacement of thirty school buses and purchase of two automated refuse trucks. ° Funding of a $100,000 economic development program. ° Design of a new regional landfill. ° Elimination of six employee positions. -2- CAPITAL NEEDS PROGRAM There are a number of School and County capital needs that should be addressed this budget year. We are a growing, thriving community and these needs must be addressed whether or not consolidation takes place. In fact, if we do not address them, the new government will surely have to. A bond issue should be considered by the Board to fund those projects that are most urgent and which can be properly addressed during the next three to five years. The last capital program was in the fall of 1985, and all but one of those improvements have now been made. A more complete list of recommended projects will be provided by the staff later in the work session, but some of the more significant ones are shown below. ° School improvements: - addition to William Byrd High School - addition to Northside High School - addition to Glenvar High School - acquisition of land for a new high school - other improvements ° New Hollins Branch Library ° Completion of parks: - Green Hill Park - Vinyard Park ° Drainage improvements Since these are long-range capital projects, they could be financed through a general obligation bond issue. It may be possible to absorb a bond issue of $10 million to $12 million without a real estate or personal property tax rate increase. The needs of the County and the Schools should be combined on this bond issue; and, if we don't go together, we shouldn't go at all. With voter approval this fall, bonds could be sold in mid 1991 and construction could then begin. In addition, a sewer revenue bond must be considered for a much-needed upgrade to the Roanoke River sewer interceptor. -3- PUBLIC SAFETY Later this evening, Chief Fuqua and the volunteer Chiefs and Captains will request six new paid personnel and increased funding for volunteer workers compensation. I support their request because of the increased number of calls and the need to improve response times. In addition, I am asking the Board's support for six new personnel for the Police Department. With increased urbanization, increased traffic, and an alarming increase in drug-related crimes, these positions are necessary to take a tough stand against crime. This follows the plan to add to law enforcement gradually as we have done in the past. The Board may recall that in the past four years, we have added more than twenty employees to the Sheriff's Office. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Several improvements to our employee benefits package are being recommended, the most important of which is implementation of a recently conducted market survey. Last year, the Board and School Board committed to equalizing the benefits for County and non-instructional School personnel, and this year we hope to move closer to that goal. The market survey showed that County salaries are not competitive for a number of job categories. We have experienced high employee turnover and difficulty in recruiting for many of these positions. I am asking the Board to approve $390,000 to bring these employee categories (about 210 persons) to the bottom step of new pay grades. For all other employees, a 5 per cent merit increase is funded, and I would like to increase that to 5.2 per cent if the Schools award that increase to their non-instructional staff. The County has implemented several cost containment measures for health care expenditures in recent years. However, increased medical costs will certainly require a rate increase in health insurance premiums. Bids will be received at the end of this month and more exact figures will be available then. In anticipation of these increases, we have included funds to increase the County contribution to 90 per cent of the single-employee premium, which was set as a goal last year. -4- An expenditure to be considered by the Board is the increased VSRS contribution for reduction in retirement age for public safety personnel. This reduction, recently approved by the State, will cost the County $93,000 if we choose to participate. This is not funded as yet. TAXES AND FEES No tax increases have been anticipated in preparing this budget. Several Board members have expressed interest in reducing tax rates. For your information, each 1~ reduction in the real estate tax rate will reduce revenues by $271,000. Each 1~ reduction in the personal property tax rate will reduce revenues by $35,000. Because of the increasing demands for School and County services, I recommend leaving tax rates at their present levels. If the Board insists on reducing any tax rate, I prefer reducing the personal property rate. As discussed in last week's work session, fees charged for certain County services fall short of the cost to deliver those services. I am asking for fee increases to offset actual costs as identified in the recent User Fee Study. This could provide an additional $200,000 in revenue. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS At this time, we should hear the presentations of the staff and incorporate changes into the second draft of the budget for the April 10 work session. At that time, I would like to concentrate on the capital needs as well.
