Respectfully Submitted,  Willem Polak Mayor Town of Glen Echo  1    TOWN OF GLEN ECHO FY2021 MAYOR'S BUDGET PROPOSAL OVERVIEW AND EXPLANATION  THE STARTING POINT: UNDERSTANDING THE BUDGET  Presentation and evaluation of the FY 2021 budget for the Town of Glen Echo includès information of the past fiscal year's actual expenses (FY 2019) and the current projected fiscal year's budget final expenses (FY 2020). It is from the current year's budget, built upon the prior year, that next year's  budget is launched and proposed for FY 2021.  This discussion and analysis will start with the REVENUE SIDE (Income) of the ledger.  Revenues: Current year revenue sources, rates of taxation and revenue generated are shown in the column titled "Projected Amount FY: 20" in the attached documents. You will see that identical revenue items are provided for the proposed FY 2021 budget. You will also note that no new revenues sources Local Property Taxes and receipts from the State Income Tax make up the two biggest share of revenue--slightly more than two-thirds of our funding come from these two sources; 37% and 32 % respectively in the FY 2020 budget and very similar proportions in 2021. Revenues will generally  are considered for next year's budget.  change as a function of natural growth in the underlying revenue base.  Property Tax Rate. The Mayor's FY2021 Budget includes an exemption offered by the State that allows the Town to levy a tax rate that will maintain the revenues generated by our land assessments in the current year. This Constant Yield tax rate for FY 2021 is set at $0.16 per $100; this tax rate will result in the same income as the current year's tax rate. You'll note that even with the application of $0.16 per $100 the total yield of the Property tax drops by $2,761  from FY: 2020 to the FY2021 budget Property Tax Receipts FY2 2019 Actuals FY 2020 Projected FY2021 Proposed  $127,511 $132,761 $130,000  State Income Tax receipts are a function of residents' income taxes paid as a part of Montgomery County's income tax liability. It is the share that the state "rebates," in a sense, to the municipalities. They make up the second largest share of revenues to the Town at 32%.  State Income Tax Receipts FY: 2019 Actuals FY 2020 Projected FY 2021 Proposed  $108,394 $116,777 $115,000  Rental Income is the next biggest source of revenue for the Town. This source includes the Post Office Lease, revenues generated by Town Hall Rental and the Tulane Ave Parking lot which is leased by the Inn at Glen Echo. These three items generate 13% of the revenues for the Town's use, both ini the current budget as well as the Mayors F2021 budget. Rental revenues may continue to rise as a result of increased fees for Town Hall rental adopted in FY2020 that  2    will continue in FY 2021. The Post Office lease expires during FY 22 and it is our hope that our  favorable relationship with the Post office will continue.  RentalIncome FY2 2019 Actuals FY 2020 Projected FY2 2021 Proposed  $46,404 $45,499 $47,499  Personal Property Tax receipts include three tax categories: Corporate and unincorporated property and public utility properties. These recipes make up 6% and 7% of the Towns receipts for FY 2020 and FY 2021 respectively. Personal property rates are set by the Town and remain unchanged for FY 2021 at $0.80 per $100 of assessed value. The Town also.sets the rate on utility assessments at $1.50 per $100 of assessed value. This tax is paid by utility companies, not Town residents. This tax is collected by the County and returned to the Town.  Personal Property Tax Receipts FY: 2019 Actuals FY 2020 Projected FY: 2021 Proposed  $24,011 $20,216 $24,100  County Revenue Sharing provide an almost identical share of the budget at 6% for both FY 2020 and FY2021.Amounts are set by the County and serve as a reimbursement-lke functions for services that we provide for our residents that the County would otherwise have to provide  such as street sweeping, road repairs and snow removal. County Revenues Sharing Receipts  FY 2019 Actuals FY2020 Projected FY2021 Proposed  $20,762 $20,762 $20,762  Highway User Revenues are received from the State based on a formula which includes the road miles within our boundaries, vehicle titing tax, vehicle rental use tax, vehicle registration fees and the number of registered motor vehicles in the Town. The FY19 budget included a supplemental grant that was part of the State's FY19 budget. Income in this category has continued to grow each year. The FY20 budget reflects the restoration of highway user funds by the Governor that continues into FY21. These funds account for 5% of the town's revenues.  Highway User Revenues FY 2019 Actuals FY2 2020 Projected FY 2021 Proposed  $13,148 $16,852 $17,185  Cable Franchise Fees are received as a result of the County negotiated Franchise agreement with Cable Service Providers (Verizon, Comcast and RCN). They,reflect the number of contracts that exist with the Town's borders. These receipts account for less than 1 % of the budget and  essentially are being held constant into the FY21 budget,  Cable Franchise Fees FY: 2019 Actuals FY 2020 Projected FY: 2021 Proposed  $2,741 $3,400 $3,500  Echo Newsletter Revenues are generated by income from. advertising and subscriptions. On the expenditure side of the budget, found in the next section of this budget description one will  3    see the cost for printing and delivery. These revenues make up less than 1% of the budget. Changes over the period shown are based upon changes in the invoicing procedures.  Echo Newsletter Revenues FY 2019 Actuals FY 2020 Projected FY2021 Proposed  $2,905 $3,094 $2,000  License and Permit Revenues generate a slim piece of the revenue totals fori the Town of Glen Echo. Another "less than 1%" of our receipts in this category are expected to support the current year's budget. This includes monies from licenses and permit fees related to construction and operations in the Town and from admission and amusements which are generated by the Glen  Echo Park.  License and Permit Revenues FY: 2019 Actuals FY 2020 Projected FY 2021 Proposed  $5,648 $2,400 $5,300  Interest Income earned on our investments in the Montgomery County Local Government Investment Pool and Money Markets wraps up the list ofr revenues available for use by the Town of Glen Echo. The last of the "less than 1% category of TOGE's revenues are expected to come from this source.  Interest Income FY 2019 Actuals FY 2020 Projected FY 2021 Proposed  $2,587 $1,500 $1,500  BOTTOM LINE REVENUES: Summary  Comparison of FY2019 Actuals to Projected FY2020 Budget: +$9063. When comparing total Town revenue growth from FY 2019 Actuals of $354,218 with adjusted, projected revenues for the current fiscal year (FY 2020) of $363,281, revenues grew by $9,065. The largest growth over this period can be attributed to growth in Property Taxi receipts, Income taxi receipts and Highway User Revenues. The Comparison of Projected FY 2020 Budget to Proposed FY 2021 Budget. +$3,685. Total revenues are expected to grow a more modest $3,685 from the current fiscal year's adjusted amount to the proposed FY: 2021 Budget. The largest growth is expected int the Personal Property Category of $3,884, largely due to increased assessments on public utility assets. License and permits receipts are expected to increase by $2,900 reflecting changes in permitting categories and fees. Rental income is also anticipated toi increase by about $2,000 as a full year ofr new users' fees is inj place. Lower: revenues are expected in the category of Property Tax based upon projected provided to use by the State and  greatest downturn was in License and Permits and Personal Property Tax revenues.  likewise income tax revenues.  4    NEXT UP: UNDERSTANDING THE EXPENDITURE SIDE OF THE BUDGET Having concluded the discussion and analysis of the REVENUE SIDE (Income) of the ledger we turn jnow to the PLANNED EXPENSES AND PROGRAMS that are contained in the Mayor's FY 2021 Expenses are organized into several categories, somewhat like revenues. Revenues can be thought of, or grouped, by similar sources. Expenses can be categorized by similar tasks. There are administrative tasks, operational tasks, professional and consulting services, community maintenance responsibilities and much more. We will review the spending allocated to each of these expense The major expense categories are Payroll, Professional Services, Fixed Operating Expenses, Streets, and Town Services which include Landscaping, Snow Removal, Trash Collection, Trees, Leaf Removal, and Community Events. Within several of these categories there are subsets of service. PAYROLL: Personnel, and Staff Training. The Mayor's FY 2021 Budget plans for payroll expenses of $67,500. This includes salary costs for the Town Manager, Employer Taxes and monies for Staff Training. This reflects the annualized costs fora a salaried, full-time Town Manager. This change in status from hourly to salaried employment was enacted ini the current fiscal year and represents changes from past practice. Previous Clerk-Treasurers were paid on an hourly basis and worked part time. The increase in the salary lines from FY2020 to FY 2021 of $7,700 represents the increased cost of a full year of this salaried position. Increased staff training is also planned for in the coming fiscal year, with $3,000 set aside, an increase of $2,000 from present levels, for a total increase in this category of  Budget.  categories as presented in the attached budget.  $9,700.

Funding is included fori the town's audit firm, LSWG, the Town Attorney and a set aside for additional specialized legal services. This subcategory of services within Professional Services are budgeted at $38,000 in the Mayor's budget for FY: 2021, up $5,673 from $32,327 in the current budget year.  year's budget and 19% of the proposed FY 2021 budget.  Audit and Legal Expenses FY2019 Actuals $49,900 FY 2020 Projected $32,327 FY 2021 Proposed $38,000  The changes in this category of expense needs explanation beyond simple comparison of the current year with the proposed budget. Significant savings were realized between FY 2019 and the current year and the projected FY21 budget as a result of a new audit firm Contract and the hiring of office staff that attended to town financial business on a regular and consistent bases. More than $4,000 in decreased expenses" was realized between the FY 2019 actuals and the FY. 2020 and FY 2021 budget proposal, due to these changes in operating practices. The Town signed a three year contract with the audit firm sO we can expect to continue to enjoy these savings.
