The budget is balanced in its entirety as required by the North The Town of Sawmills' overall budget for FY 2021-2022 totals $4,319,314 reflecting an overall increase of$1,388,545, or 47.38% from the previous FY. The vast majority of this increase can be attributed to the Town resuming capital projects and purchases. Additionally, we have removed restrictions that cut the 2020-21 FY budget by over 25% as we prepared for the  Carolina Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act.  uncertainty COVID-19 offered.

Some highlights in the General Fund Departmental budgets include: maintaining employee benefits at current levels  implemented in house salary study to ensure Town wages remain competitive continued participation in the Caldwell County Sales Tax Reinvestment Program in the  amount of$ $194,000  General Fund revenues and expenditures are balanced at $2,836,183 This amount represents an increase of $946,345, or 50.08%, from the previous 2020-2021 Fiscal Year Budget. The vast majority oft this increase can be attributed to the parking lot for thel Duke Power project at Veterans Park, and additional utility projects slated for the 21-22 FY.Additionally, the 20-21 FY budget reflected an over 25% reduction related to COVID-19 and the uncertainties associated with the virus. In other words, the actual increase is just slightly above the most previous, "Pre-  COVID" fiscal years. Enterprise Fund:  Due to the increased cost of service and desire to maintain our infrastructure, the Town Council and Staffannually review water and sewer rates. To ensure these reviews are unbiased and impartial, it is good practice to conduct a water and sewer rate study every 5-7 years. In February of2019 the NC Rural Water Association conducted a water and sewer rate study for the Town and the 20/21 FY recommended rate increase will be the first year ofimplementation of this study. This recommendation balances both the need to continue providing the highest quality service possible, with the desire to provide the most economical cost to our customers. In light of the need to maintain Enterprise Fund reserves to address anticipated system improvements, maintain solvency and meet unanticipated emergencies, both staff and the Town Council are urged to maintain adequate financial planning for the future. Therefore, itis recommended that the Town continue to follow the recommended 5-year plan set forth by the NC Rural Water Association in the 2019 rate study for the Town of Sawmills. The NCRWA also highly recommended that the Town revise the current water rate structure. Representatives: conducting the water rate study believed that it would be extremely difficult for the Town to secure grant funding in the future with the current format. This is an issue that will be addressed by staff during the 21/22 FY and ai recommendation made to Council that could ultimately impact the rate structure for the 22/23 FY. This was initially slated for the 20-21 FY, however, because of staff constraints directly related to the COVID pandemic it has been pushed Revenues for the Enterprise Fund for FY 2021-2022 are approximately $1,483,131 reflecting a increase of $425,200, or 40.19%, from the 2020-2021 FY. Much oft this increase is attributed directly to the nearly 26% decrease in the 20-21 FY relating to the uncertainties ofthe COVID-  to the 21-22 FY.  19 pandemic.

The 20-21 FY taught us that regardless of circumstances nationally, the Citizens of Sawmills are comfortable both shopping online and spending locally. We witnessed increased traffic at our farmers market and an increase in cardboard at the curb where residents discarded Amazon, Walmart, Target, and various other online retail boxes. As a result, we did not experience a substantial drop in sales tax For the 2021-22 FY wel have picked up where we left offi in 2019 and have resumed several capital projects including the addition ofa a new parking lot at Veteran's Park to accompany the Duke Power expansion ini the park, more patching and paving in the Doe Run subdivision, repairing flooding issues on Helton Rd, and other infrastructure related projects based on  revenues and expect the same for the 21-22 FY.  American Rescue Plan funding.  Ultimately, the outlook for the 2021-22 FY is substantially brighter than that of the 2020-21 FY. Many of the uncertainties oft the COVID-19 pandemic have been resolved and a more stable outlook is on the horizon. However, we still approached the 2021-22 FY very conservatively, but a better understanding of the pandemic has allowed capital projects to resume. Town staff have accepted the challenges that these uncertain times have thrown without hesitation and for thatI am beyond grateful. Lastly, I would like to thank the Mayor and Council for their leadership and guidance in these difficult and uncertain times. The freedoms they you have afforded me during this pandemic are the only thing that has made it possible to not only manage the Town but to  prepare a budget as well.

PLANNING BOARD MEMO  MEETING DATE: May 18, 2021  SUBJECT: PRESENTER:  Sawmills Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan  Brian Horton, Transportation Planning Manager, WPCOG  ATTACHMENTS: 1. Draft Plan SUMMARY OF REQUEST:  2. Presentation  The Town contracted Western Piedmont Council of Governments (WPCOG) to develop a Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. A citizen steering committee met three times tol help guide plan development. The new plan is intended to help guide Town policy decisions concerning the network, prioritization, and Currently, Sawmills has a core sidewalk network linking Sawmills Elementary and Baird Park. The draft plan recommends maintaining and expanding this network to Veterans Park, South Caldwell High, Spring Lake Mobile Home Park, and Cajah Mountain Road. North Carolina Department ofTransportation (NCDOT) plans to modernize Cajah Mountain Road between Highway 321A and Connelly Springs Road. This funded NCDOT project will straighten curves and add five-foot shoulders with construction expected in 2025. The new draft Plan recommends adding sidewalks and bicycle lanes inside Town limits along thel NCDOT project, transitioning to a multi-use path between Mount Zion Church and Highway 321A. The recommended multi-use path would accommodate a shared space for cyclists and pedestrians, create a new: accessible crossing oft the Caldwell County Railroad, and connect to existing Ina addition to providing direction on NCDOT projects, the draft Plan also recommends concepts that may pursue future grant opportunities. One oft these potential projects seeks to link Sawmills Elementary and Veterans Park. The draft recommendation would extend the existing sidewalk in the more residentially developed areas of Sawmills north of May Road and immediately south of Dry Ponds Road. Between May Road and Dry Ponds Road, as well as approaching Veterans Park, the Plan recommends a multi-use path. The trail system in Veterans Park has recently been paved, and al loop trail is planned to be completed by Duke Energy. Enhanced crossings of Dry Ponds Road and at the Elementary School are A public hearing is tentatively scheduled for. June 15, 2021, at the Sawmills Town Hall.
