The decrease is the result of the refunding of the remaining balance of the County’s 2004 general obligation bond and the removal of nursing home operations. There is no property tax increase for 2015. The 2015 budget includes funding for the board’s commitments to public safety and security, to implementation and use of information technology to improve services and efficiencies and to attracting and retaining a skilled, dedicated workforce. It also increases funding for farmland preservation, expansion of the county’s geographical information system (GIS) and support for various human services initiatives. Beginning in 2012, the board set aside funds for reserves for facility related items and for re- pair and replacement of equipment. In 2014, the board put an additional $4,000,000 in each from the proceeds from the sale of the nursing home. Budgeted expenditures for both facili- ty and equipment funds, including various hardware and software, emergency services equipment, security equipment, building repairs and improvements, vehicles, etc. total ap- proximately $2 million for 2015. The schedule of ALL SERVICES separates fiduciary an trust funds (which include retirement, post-employment health benefits, and workers’ compesation trust funds) from all other county operations. General county operations, which include human services, court opera- tions, the jail and day reporting center, debt service, internal support operations and capital projects, differ from the fiduciary fund activitiesn that they are not subject to the volatility of market fluctuations on investments set aside forother purposes. The 2015 budget for ALL SERVICES reflects total revenue of $104.5 million ad total expenses of $103.4 million. The General Fund budget of $44.9 million supports court and magisterial district judge oper- ations, the county jail, the day reporting center, administration and planning offices, tax se vices, veterans’ affairs, property management and eected official offices. It remains relat ly flat, reflecting a decrease of $415,800 (.9%) ov the revised budget for 2014. 4 Executive Summary For 2015, $5,316,900 (11.8%) of the operating budget is to support other county operations, in- cluding human service programs ($2,696,300, 6%), domestic relations ($728,900, 1.6%), and 911 center and hazmat operations ($1,719,700, 3.8%). In addition, $150,000 is budgeted for the pur- chase of agriculture preservation easements, an increase of $15,000 over 2014 budget, as well as $22,100 for administration of the Community Development Block Grant program. Consistent with the County’s practice in prior years, proposed expansions for personnel, capital and new projects are budgeted in a contingency account so that additional review can be com- pleted prior to taking action and incurring expense. Our general fund contingency for 2015 amounts to 1.9% of our expenditure budget and totals $832,400 in potential personnel expan- sion, court-related costs, projects and capital items, continued enhancement to our GIS and oth- er technology, and other capital purchases. Additionally, $2 million is budgeted to be spent from the County’s facilities and equipment repair and replacement funds, which were established in 2012. During 2014, the board set aside $4 million to each of the funds out of proceeds from the sale of the nursing home. Total General Fund revenue of $42.1 million reveals an increase of $908,500 (2.2%) from the 2014 revised budget. For 2015, property taxes account for 76.8% of all General Fund revenue compared to 78% for 2014 and 76.7% for 2013. While the property tax millage remained the same, the 1% growth in the value of a mill contributed $322,000 for general fund operations. The increase in charges for services relates primarily to fees collected from implementation of new county systems for unified parcel identific tion (UPI) and from the sale of GIS data. 5 How Your 2015 County Tax Dollar is Spent (RED) indicates 2014 6 Description of Tax Dollar Community and Economic DevelopmentCommunity and Economic DevelopmentCommunity and Economic DevelopmentCommunity and Economic Development: support of Ag Extension office, communi- ty-related grants, and support to county affiliated community development organi- zations.
