Currie City Manager May29,2020 BUDGET MESSAGE FISCAL YEAR 2020-2021  The proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 is presented to City Council in accordance with the North Carolina Budget and Fiscal Control Act and North Carolina General Statues. North Carolinal law suggests that al balanced! budgeti is presented by) Junel andi mandates that City Council The budget message provides an overview of the proposed budget. 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. Council may continue to meet on the budget during the period from June 1 to the final adoption date. Thei final adoption date can be no later than June 30. Ifal budget is not adopted by June 30, an interim budget must be adopted toj provide operational funds for the city for aj period ofthirty (30) days. Prior to adoption of the budget, thej proposed budget must be available to the public for ten (10) days. In our case, thel budget cannot be adopted prior to. June 9. 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.
