While the Budget Message does not give every detail oft thel budget, it is required toj provide the basic differences and major changes from the previous budget. The message also serves as as summary, not only for the City Council, but also to the general public and media outlets. The budget message provides an executive summary for anyone who wants to review thej proposed budget. The proposed budget may be amended once itl has been submitted to Council. By law, the budget ist the Council's fiscal and financial policy for the operations of the City for each fiscal budget year.

The proposed recommended budget submitted for Council's review is balanced. In the proposed budget, there is no proposed tax increase recommended. There is an appropriation of General Fund. Balance in the amount of$320,000, which is addressed later ini this message. There are no proposed fee increases with the exception of solid waste fees, which will be highlighted as the budget message continues. The overall budget is extremely conservative due to the unforeseen adopt al balanced budget by. June 30. 1 future of revenues resulting from the COVID-191 pandemic. Revenues have been impacted to the point wherei iti is difficult toi forecast. This budget is one oft thes simplest, yeti most difficulth budgets Ihave worked on over they years duet tot the effects ofCOVID-19. With the uncetaintyofrevenues, staffremains concemed with forecastings so this budget has been extremely difficultt tor manage. Thel Department Heads and other staff! have worked diligently tol hold the line onI many expenses while still trying to provide necessary services. They are being innovative sO to leverage technology, which willt toi improve the efficiency ofoperations for the citizens of Whiteville. This budget does not contain any capital outlay, with the exception of equipment fora a new firetruck. As Council reviews the proposed budget or should you have any questions prior to the budget adoption, personally welcome you to call or come byt to see me to discuss anyi items within the budget. As always, this budget belongs to City Council and staffis heret to assist youi inj preparing a financial roadmap for the City during the 2020-2021 fiscal year. This road map is for the upcoming fiscal year. It begins toj prepare the City for several years to come regarding areas such as public safety and water/sewer maintenance programs. It is staff's responsibility to plan for future expenditures as well as prepare for thosei in the upcoming fiscal year. BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS A. REVENUES 1. Tax) Rate and Ad-valorum Revenues The tax rate currentlyi is $0.53 cents per $100 in value and is not proposed toi increase int this budget. Staff1 hasr made a concerted effort to continue improving efficiencies and flat line costsi in and effortt to maintain al lowert tax rate. Thel Downtown. Municipal TaxI Districti isp projected to1 remain The City continues toi increase the collectioni rate: for citywide ad-valorum taxes. According to the 2018-2019 audit, our collection rate remains consistent at 98.98% overall. Thisi iss slightly higher than last year. By collecting our taxes in the current budget year, the City saves money by not using collection proceedings on our residents. AsaCity, itis desired that wel keep our collections rate in the upper 90% range. Compared statewide, the City is approximately at the average collection rate for cities the size of Whiteville. Of course, as building continues toi increase, the Undesignated and unreserved fund balance remained constant this past year. At the end of the 2018-2019 Fiscal Year, our undesignated fund balance was at 31.24%. In the current budget proposal, Undesignated Fund balance is appropriated for $320,000. The funds are appropriated Property tax valuesi in Columbus County are re-evaluated on an eight (8) year cycle, while some counties inl North Carolina are evaluated every four (4) years. Thet theory behind this cycle ist that the tax rate is set such that the revenues, under normal conditions, carry the municipality for the cycle without tax increases. Ifi issues happen unexpectedly, increases may occur. However, in theory Table 11 below demonstrates how the cycle works. As the years progress, expenses like benefits, salaries and operations costs increase annually. At years seven (7) and eight (8) therei is ati its current rate of 12 cents per $100 in value. City's overall tax basei increases. due to revenue. losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. 2 an expectation that fund balance: may be appropriated to carry the City to the next re-evaluation. Once that occurs, the cycle resets. Currently, the Cityi isi in year eight (8) oft this cycle. Undera normal budget, the City may not have to expend fund balance, but this year due to the loss in revenuesi related to COVID-19,iti isI necessary to continue the service level residents have come to expect. Table1. Red- Expenses Giem- Revenesl Year 2. Other Revenues Each year, the North Carolina League of Municipalities (NCLM) offers guidance on sales tax revenues, franchise tax revenues and other revenues the cities receive. This year, the City has budgeted a decrease in many of the statewide collected taxes. The City benefits from not only sales taxes, but also a variety of utility taxes. Below is a chart from the NCLM advising local governments of the potential of revenue changes resulting from COVID-19. 3 Table2 2.

Duet to the effects ofCOVID-19,Iam making NO recommendations. for staffing increases or Cost of Living. Adjustments (COLA). At this time, Id do not feeli iti is a prudent request. If the revenues: return as staffi is suggesting, Iwill re-evaluate the COLA potentially toward thei middle oft thef fiscal year. D. Departmental Highlights (Expenditures) 1. Capital Outlay Overall, Capital Outlay requests has been scaled back substantially. Department Heads have submitted capital requests tol Finance and Administration. Select ones stayi in the budget, provided This fiscal year, Department Heads requested $711,000 in capital outlayi items. There is currently NO capital outlay in this budget due tol losses in revenues. As with staffing, if revenues return, staff will re-evaluatei the capital items requested. Council will be required to amendt the budget to the amount ofr revenue available for one-time purchases. addi items back into the budget. 6 2. Powell Bill The stay at home orders affects Powell Bill revenues severely. Powell Bill funds are generated solely from gas taxes levied byt the State ofNorth Carolina. A formula using per capita andi road miles within the jurisdiction is how thel North Carolina distributes these funds to municipalities. Staffis estimating ar reduction of25% ($39,144) in appropriations. The dropi in overall travel by residents within the State affects this appropriation. 3. Solid Waste There will be ani increase in solid waste fees of approximately 3% due toi inflationary: increases. E. CONCLUSION Staff has worked hard to give you a balanced budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2020-2021. However, by Statue, this budget ist the City Council's budget. Thel Manager's jobi is toj present to you a budget that isb balanced and addresses the needs oft the City as well asI meets the goals ofCity Council. Int thist uncertain time, this budget! has been reduced asr mucha as possible without affecting service levels or staffing. If further reductions are necessary due to continued losses, services levels and staffing willl be affected. However, ifthere are any recommendations for amendments, the Staffa and Istand ready to work with Council to make those adjustments. Thej proposed recommended budget may continue to be refined to meet the needs oft the City and to accomplish the overall mission of the City Council. This budget is conservative, but very manageable and staff has worked to accomplish this task together. Iwant to thank all those involved in this process and without a very qualified group of department heads and other staff, I,along with Staff, stand ready to work with the Council to accomplish the objectives ofthe City and welcome any comments or suggestions you may offer regarding this proposed budget and fiscal spending plan for the City.
