County of Roanoke, Virginia General Fund Unappropriated Balance Policy Background The County of Roanoke recognizes one of the keys to sound financial management is the development of financial policies. Credit agencies carefully monitor levels of unreserved fund balance in a government's general fund to evaluate a government's continued creditworthiness. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that governments establish a formal policy on the level of unreserved fund balance in the general fund. In addition, the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB) issued a comprehensive set of accepted budget processes and procedures that set the standards of excellence in state and local governmental budgeting. A critical element incorporated into these standards is the adoption of financial policies, which include the development of a policy on stabilization funds, i.e. Unappropriated Balance (Principle 2; Element 4; Practice 4.1). This policy addresses this standard. Purpose The Board of Supervisors is ensuring the long-term economic stability of the County of Roanoke, by establishing a policy that maintains a prudent level of financial resources to protect against reducing service levels or raising taxes and fees because of temporary revenue shortfalls or unpredicted one-time expenditures. Reasons for adopting this policy • Plan for contingencies • Maintain good standings with the rating agencies • Avoid interest expense for operating budget needs and capital needs • Investment income from fund balances • Ensure cash availability when revenue is unavailable Fund Balance Policy Guidelines The Unappropriated Fund Balance of the County is currently maintained at a minimum of 6.25% of general fund revenues. This minimum will be increased over time to the following ranges: 2004-05 7.0-8.0% 2005-06 7.5-8.5 2006-07 8.0-9.0 2007-08 8.5-9.5 2008-09 9.0-10.0 2009-10 9.5-10.5 2010-11 10.0-11.0 V. Maintenance of Fund Balance At the end of each fiscal year, all general fund revenues in excess of budget will first go into the General Fund Unappropriated Balance, until the maximum balance for the current fiscal year is met. The General Fund Unappropriated Balance is available for difficult economic times, stabilizing cash flow requirements, and emergency appropriations by the Board of Supervisors; however it is the intent of the Board to maintain at least the minimum balance for the current fiscal year. 2 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2004 RESOLUTION 122104-3 ADOPTING A POLICY FOR COUNTY CAPITAL RESERVES WHEREAS, one of the measures of a fiscally well managed locality is the adoption of formal fiscal policies; and WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors recognizes the need to fund capital projects; and WHEREAS, it is important to the Board of Supervisors to fund some capital projects on a pay-as-you-go basis.

The National . Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB) has issued guidelines representing standards of excellence in governmental budgeting that include the preparation of policies and plans for capital asset acquisition, maintenance, and replacement (Principle 2; Element 5; Practice 5.2). This policy addresses this standard. II. Purpose This policy will establish guidelines to set aside reserves to fund County capital projects. Ill. Policy Guidelines for Major County Capital Reserve a.

Any additional funds that the Board of Supervisors appropriates to the Reserve c. Funds may be allocated from the Major County Capital Reserve for the following purposes: i. Cash outlay for projects identified in the County Capital Improvements Plan adopted by the Board of Supervisors ii.

Land purchase opportunities, even if they are not included in the County Capital Improvements Plan IV. Policy Guidelines for Minor County Capital Reserve a. The Board of Supervisors hereby renames the County Capital Fund Unappropriated Balance as the Minor County Capital Reserve. b. Funds will be deposited into the Minor County Capital Reserve from the following sources: i. As specified in the Policy for Use of Unspent Expenditure Appropriations at Year End, the unencumbered expenditure savings remaining after the departmental rollover will be allocated to the Minor County Capital Reserve. ii. As specified in the County Charter, the proceeds from the sale of land and fixed assets, unless specifically appropriated otherwise by the Board of Supervisors, will be deposited to the Minor County Capital Reserve. iii. Any additional funds that the Board of Supervisors appropriates to the Reserve. c. Funds may be allocated from the Minor County Capital Reserve for the following purposes: i. Cash outlay for minor County capital projects. These are projects that are not normally in the County Capital Improvements Plan, and are usually less that $500,000. ii. Architectural and engineering services for all capital projects, whenever possible iii. Other one-time expenditures iv. Major County Capital Projects as identified in the County Capital Improvements Plan, adopted by the Board of Supervisors 2 E AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2004 RESOLUTION 122104-4 AMENDING THE POLICY FOR THE USE OF UNEXPENDED APPROPRIATIONS AT THE END OF EACH FISCAL YEAR WHEREAS, as a result of frugal management practices at both the departmental and administrative levels of County government, various County departments have completed the fiscal year with actual expenditures being less than budget appropriations; and WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has previously adopted Resolution 042396-5 on April 23, 1996 establishing a policy for the use of unexpended appropriations at the end of each fiscal year; and WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors adopted this policy to fund capital reserves and to provide incentives to reduce annual expenditures below appropriations while maintaining the high quality delivery of public services. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, as follows: 1. That the policy for the use of unexpended appropriations at the end of each fiscal year is hereby amended as follows, and 2. That this amended policy shall be in effect for FY 2003-04, and the subsequent fiscal years unless otherwise amended by the Board of Supervisors. On motion of Supervisor Altizer to adopt the resolution, and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Supervisors McNamara, Church, Wray, Altizer, Flora NAYS: None A COPY &,-4GTESTEDJ4vi,— Brenda J. Alton, CMC Deputy Clerk cc: File Diane D. Hyatt, Chief Financial Officer Rebecca Owens, Director, Finance Wanda Riley, Executive Secretary, Policy Manual 2 County of Roanoke Policy for Use of Unspent Expenditure Appropriations at Year End Background At the end of a fiscal year, unspent expenditure appropriations generally lapse and revert to a reserve or fund balance within the fund in which the appropriations originated. In some cases it is desirable to reappropriate a portion of these funds to allow for the completion of projects or purchases in process. The County provides for these instances by including wording in the Appropriation Ordinance that encompasses encumbrances, capital projects and school funds. The National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB) has issued guidelines representing standards of excellence in governmental budgeting that include the preparation of policies and plans for capital asset acquisition, maintenance, and replacement (Principle 2; Element 5; Practice 5.2). This policy addresses this standard. H. Purpose This policy would establish guidelines to fund the Minor County Capital Reserve and to distribute unspent funds at year end to departments for needed expenditures. This additional funding will provide an opportunity for departments to invest in items that will assist them in meeting their service delivery objectives. Encouraging frugal management practices will provide a more flexible environment and allow innovative and efficient approaches to servicing our citizens. Ill. Performance Standard Departments will not engage in practices, for the purpose of solely generating savings, that will adversely affect the quality of service delivery, unless approved by the County Administrator and/or the Board of Supervisors. IV. Policy Guidelines A. When the County's accounts are closed out at the fiscal year-end, 60% of the unencumbered expenditure savings from each departmental budget of the General Fund will be designated for reappropriation to that department in the following fiscal year. The remaining 40% of the unencumbered expenditure savings will revert to the Minor County Capital Reserve for future capital projects approved by the Board of Supervisors. B. Departmental requests for this reappropriation of funds will be evaluated and approved by the County Administrator on an item -by -item basis. C. These funds are "non-recurring"; therefore, the use of these funds can only be used for expenditures such as vehicle replacement, computers, renovations, training or other purposes that relate to the department's mission and do not require expenditures in future fiscal years. These funds cannot be used for salary increases, additional personnel, or expansion of services.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, as follows: 1. That the policy for the use of general fund revenue in excess of budget at the end of each fiscal year is hereby adopted as follows, and 2.
