MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VIRGINIA APPROVED BUDGET

for fiscal year 2021

BUDGET MESSAGE

March 2, 2020 Dear Honorable Members of the Board of Supervisors: I am pleased to present for your review and consideration the proposed Fiscal Year 2021 budget for Montgomery County. The proposed budget for all funds is $209.3 million, and represents an increase of 3.9% ($7.8 million) over the current fiscal year. My recommendations in the proposed budget provide for continued investment in both our human and capital resources; continued investment in our public schools’ operations and capital needs; and continued investment in our public safety operations. With the proposed budget of $209.3 million, $89.2 million is provided from federal, state, and other designated funds. The remaining $120.1 million represents county dollars not designated for a specific purpose, which includes projected growth of $3.8 million. Proposed funding for the County’s General Fund, net of transfers to other funds, totals $52.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million (2.3%). Proposed funding for the School Operating Fund, net of transfers to other funds, totals $120.7 million, an increase from the current year of $4.6 million (4.0%). The total county budget also includes the Debt Service Fund ($24.7 million), the School Nutrition Fund ($5.2 million), the transfer to the School Capital Fund ($2.2 million), the transfer to the County Capital Fund ($3.5 million), the transfer to the Economic Development Authority ($0.4 million), and the Law Library Fund ($17,600). For Fiscal Year 2021, I recommend no increase in the real estate tax rate from the current fiscal year. If approved by the Board, FY 2021 would be the eighth consecutive year that the county’s real estate tax rate remains at 89 cents. Continued strength of our local economy, along with conservative fiscal management by the Board, has enabled us to maintain the same real estate tax rate for nearly a decade. The following charts show the projected revenue sources and expenditures for the county for Fiscal Year 2021:

The Board approved recommendations for funding of capital and maintenance projects in the current fiscal year budget, and I recommend funding be continued for the following areas in FY 2021: • • •

School Capital Fund - $2.2 million (2.5 cents of the real estate tax rate) for future school capital projects; County Capital Fund - $1.3 million (1.5 cents of the real estate tax rate) for fire and rescue equipment; and County Capital Fund - $2.2 million (which includes 1.0 cent of the real estate tax rate, as well as $1,385,000 from other General Fund revenues) for capital and maintenance projects.

It is important that the county prioritize critical long-term projects by setting aside recurring funds. With an on-going funding source of $2.2 million for the School Capital Fund, dollars will accrue annually for the next priority school capital project. With the monies set aside for Fire and Rescue departments, the ability to replace critical equipment ensures our volunteers are well-equipped to provide high quality service to our citizens. Other monies earmarked for the County Capital Fund provide dollars annually for the following: • • •

•

$425,000 for the Auburn Park project, which puts aside funds each year toward the development and future construction of the park; $210,000 for Information Technology infrastructure projects, which allows for technology needs to be addressed; $858,000 (or 1.0 cent of the real estate rate) enables $100,000 to be set aside for future Valley to Valley Trail projects and provides $758,000 each year for other future county capital projects; and $750,000 for county capital maintenance projects, which allows for proactive preventative maintenance and for handling large scale building repairs or replacements.

The chart below shows funding for the major areas of the total budget for the past five fiscal years:

Of the $1.75 million in additional county funding requested by the schools for their operations, I propose new funding of $1.55 million for the School Operating Fund. In addition to the $1.1 million included for the increased cost of school debt service resulting from the fall bond issue to renovate and expand the Christiansburg strand elementary schools, a total of $2.65 million or 70% of the FY 21 new county monies supports our public schools. While my recommendation does not fully fund the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for operating funds, it is important to note that in the past five years the County has increased local funding for school operations by over $9.7 million. The chart below shows the amount of funding provided for education including debt service and school capital projects:

The following chart shows the amount of county funding provided for school operations over the past 10 fiscal years, along with the proposed funding for fiscal year 2021:

iii

The proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2021 continues the $500,000 for the Accessing Community College Education (“ACCE”) program with New River Community College (NRCC). With these funds, graduating seniors from high schools in Montgomery County can continue their education tuition-free at NRCC with their commitment to provide community service in return. This will be the third year that the county has supported students through this program, with $1.25 million in county funds being allocated to this important program. We are very fortunate to have many dedicated and skilled employees who provide excellent service to our citizens and businesses each day. To ensure that we recognize our employees and compensate them for the services they deliver, I propose an increase in compensation for all full-time and parttime classified employees by 3%, effective July 1, 2020. Employees who have reached the top of their pay grade would receive a 3% one-time bonus in lieu of a salary increase. This funding of approximately $767,000 is in addition to nearly $407,000 needed to cover the required contributions to the Virginia Retirement System for our employees. As occurs with every budget year, requests for county funds far exceed the resources available. Requests this year were no different and totaled $5.1 million in new funding (excluding compensation and fringe benefits); however, the process for determining funding recommendations this year was different. The County’s leadership team, which is comprised of our department directors and Constitutional officers, participated in the process by reviewing, discussing and ranking of their budget requests. The team’s recommendations included operational and position requests. The proposed budget recommends funding for two new positions: an administrative assistant in the Public Information office and an additional Animal Control Officer in General Services. The leadership team reviewed and discussed all the positions that were requested; many of the positions and the requests for added operational funds were worthy of consideration, but funding simply did not exist to fund all the recommendations. iv

Although not ranked by the leadership team during the development of the annual budget, the county received requests for increased funds from agencies outside of the local government totaling $403,865. The proposed budget provides a total of $2.7 million to various outside agencies and organizations, some of which are mandated, as the county is contractually or statutorily required to provide funds. The proposed 2020-2021 fiscal year budget continues the Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tradition of fiscally responsible operating plans for Montgomery County. The budget as proposed provides essential funding for continuation of our services to our citizens and businesses; maintains the programs and activities of our various departments; and allows for investment in our capital and human resources needed to perform our jobs safely and efficiently. I am very appreciative of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department directors, agency heads, and Constitutional officers for their participation in the budget review process, which resulted in the recommendations being presented to you in the FY 2021 Proposed Budget. I am very fortunate to work with a team who understands the fiscal challenges that face local governments and who supports our fiscally conservative approach to budgeting. Special thanks go to Carol Edmonds, Angie Hill, Marc Magruder, Paul Kaiser, and Susan Dickerson, who review, revise, and assemble the budget documents prior to my presentation to you. I am also grateful to Derley Aguilar and Jennifer Harris who bring their creative skills to our budget document, presentations and information provided to citizens to ensure we reflect our best efforts. I know that FY 2021 will continue to build on our past successes and continue our tradition of growth and achievement. County staff will be reviewing the proposed budget information with you in more detail in the weeks ahead. An additional work session has been scheduled for March 16, at 6 p.m., to allow the Board to establish the advertised tax rate and advertised budget, in order to meet the required deadlines. A joint meeting with the Montgomery County School Board is slated for March 17, at 7 p.m., to allow for discussion of a number of topics, including the proposed school funding request and the county budget. The required public hearing on the proposed budget and tax rate are scheduled for Thursday, April 2, at 6 p.m. Our plan is for the Board to approve the FY 2021 budget at your regular Board meeting on Monday, April 13. Montgomery County is a very diverse and growing community, and I am confident that this proposed budget continues to keep the county focused on the future. I am deeply appreciative of your continued support and your leadership, and I welcome your comments and suggestions as you review the attached information in the days ahead.

Respectfully,

F. Craig Meadows County Administrator

OVERVIEW OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY

Montgomery County, Virginia Since its founding in the eighteenth century, Montgomery County has experienced a rich history in agriculture, manufacturing, and technology with ties to notable historical figures to include George Washington and even Daniel Boone. The county has experienced consistent growth throughout the years. Montgomery County – which is home to two of the state’s four largest towns, Blacksburg and Christiansburg – is a high-tech community strategically located on the Interstate 81 corridor. The county provides a full range of services to its more than 100,000 residents to include: law enforcement; fire and rescue; planning and GIS; economic development; social services; courts; parks and recreation; general services; environmental services; animal control; libraries; and schools. Montgomery County traces its origin to 1776 when it was formed and named after General Richard Montgomery, an American hero of the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. The first settlement, Draper’s Meadow, was established in the 1740s but was destroyed by Shawnee Indians during the French and Indian War. Christiansburg, the county seat, was incorporated in 1792 and named in honor of Colonel William Christian. This community was an important stop on the Wilderness Road, which roughly corresponds to the present day U.S. Route 11. As the retail hub of the county, Christiansburg is host to several shopping centers and restaurants. Blacksburg was incorporated in 1871. The town originated on tracts of land donated by William Black – for whom it was named – and was established at the same site as the previous settlement of Draper’s Meadow. Blacksburg is home to Virginia Tech, one of the nation’s leading educational institutions and research universities. The OVERVIEW OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY : 7

Preparation of the Annual Budget

Montgomery County’s annual budget begins with the proposed budget, the budget recommended by the County Administrator, and ends with the approved budget, which has been reviewed and adjusted by the Board of Supervisors. This budget document includes both the County’s general government operating budget and Montgomery County Public Schools’ operating budget. The Board of Supervisors holds public hearings at which citizens may express their views on the recommended budget. Such comments assist the Board of Supervisors in making decisions regarding spending. The County’s 2021 Budget Calendar is as follows (some changes may occur during the process):

The County’s Budget Process

With the goal of allowing decision-makers to focus on broader issues, the budget document consolidates similar U N D E R S T A N D I N G T H E B U D G E T P R O C E S S : 59

U N D E R S TA N D I N G T H E B U D G E T P R O C E S S functions. Efforts to streamline the process and reduce the volume of paper generated have changed the process in past years. The FY 2021 budget continues to consolidate information and array budget data in ways that facilitate a broader understanding of the document. These include:

Base Budget Targets are established for budget requests. This allows for the delineation between previously approved funding levels and requested increases in items. Base Budget Targets are established as follows: • Personal Services - Includes all positions approved up to the issuance of the proposed budget, and covers the estimated costs in fringe benefits. • Operations and Maintenance - Caps funding at the level of the FY 20 Approved Budget, less adjustments for one-time only expenditure items.

• Excludes Capital Outlay - Capital Outlay requests are presented separately from the Base Budget.

Addenda Requests are increased funding over and above the Base Budget Targets. They must be presented as Addenda to the Base Budget. This means that additional justification for increased funding or the inclusion of Capital Outlay dollars must be provided with the request.

Base Budget Estimated costs for continued operations Based on prior year approved budget with adjustments Excludes: Motor vehicle purchases Office Furniture Other equipment

Addenda Dollars over and above the base budget target for operating and capital items

Total Budget

These changes were designed to clearly identify increases to operations, initiatives proposed by departments, and all capital outlay items requested. The chart below depicts the process.

Addenda Base Budget

Dollars requested for new or expanded services (initiatives)

How to Understand and Use This Document

The FY 2021 budget document is organized into six major headings, each of which is separated by a large divider tab: • Budget Message • Table of Contents • Budget Summary U N D E R S T A N D I N G T H E B U D G E T P R O C E S S : 60

FY 19 FY 19 FY 20 FY 21 FY 21 FY 21

Revised Budget Actual Budget Approved Budget Base Budget County Administrator’s Recommended Addenda County Administrator’s Recommended Total

The County Administrator’s Recommendation column identifies the amount of funding recommended for each major cost category by base budget and addenda. Revenue that has been designated to offset expenditures in divisions is also presented. These sources include State Compensation Board funding, fees and permit charges collected by the respective divisions and other sources related to each specific function. In the presentation format, designated revenues are totaled and subtracted from the expenditures, identifying the amount of the County’s undesignated general fund revenue needed to support the division’s expenditures.

Conclusion The Board of Supervisors uses this combination of documents and information to review and approve the annual budget. It is available as public information for review by any citizen who requests access to it and is found on the County’s web site at www.montva.com. A glossary of financial terms begins on the following page in an effort to assist citizens in reviewing and understanding the County’s budget. If you have any questions about the County’s budget or the budget process, please contact Montgomery County’s Office of Public Information at 540-382-5700.

REVENUE SUMMARY

Revenue Summary Update for the FY 21 Approved Budget

The following revenue summary was prepared before the recent global pandemic due to COVID 19. Given the sudden onset of the pandemic, and given that it is still unclear what the true economic impact of the pandemic will be, the Board of Supervisors adopted the FY 2021 budget without adjusting the proposed budget’s revenue projections. The outlook provided in the next few pages does not change the revenue picture from the proposed budget, as the national, and state, and local economies are still being evaluated. As of June 2020, the County has not seen any dramatic impact for FY 2020 revenue collections. The state plans for a revenue reforecast in August or September of 2020. The County will continue to monitor revenue collections for FY 2020 and FY 2021 and make recommendations to respond appropriately if revenues do not materialize. Given the potential revenue issues that could arise from the pandemic, the Board of Supervisors decided to defer some expenditures to a later date to allow the impact on local revenues to be assessed. Deferring or unallotting funds for certain items rather than elminiating those funds will allow expenses to occur if revenue collections are stabilized. Should revenues continue to decline, these deferments would provide flexibility in addressing this issue.

Revenue Forecasting

Montgomery County’s general revenue forecast is developed based on past revenue trends, current revenue collections, and current and future local growth patterns. The County’s local economy, along with state and federal influences, contribute to the revenue picture. Budget staff, with data from the Commissioner of the Revenue and Treasurer offices, work throughout the year evaluating revenue trends, collection rates, and growth patterns to determine the revenue projection for the next fiscal year. Local, state, and national economic conditions all influence the local fiscal environment. The County’s revenue structure, job base, and major economic contributors provide a strong foundation for sustained growth. Montgomery County is home to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), which is the second largest public university in Virginia. Virginia Tech is also the largest employer in the County, providing jobs for approximately 12,000 employees. Montgomery County is fairly unique in that Virginia Tech’s presence in the community provides a stable foundation for economic growth. However, even with the presence of a stable and large employer, the local economy remains heavily dependent on the broader state and national economies. These broader economies are some of the most important factors in predicting increased revenue growth, even at the local level.

National Economic Outlook The condition of the County economy is greatly affected by national and state economic conditions.

According to economists, the U.S. economic outlook is still healthy, with Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is the total market value of goods and services produced in the United States, near the ideal range, unemployment at low levels, low inflation, and housing still at strong levels. All of these factors suggest continued growth. The U.S. economy is currently in its longest economic expansion in history. Over the past several months there have been concerns about a possible recession occurring in CY 2020 or CY 2021. After the Federal Reserve adjusted interest rates, some of those fears eased. While the consensus among economists is that a recession is not likely in 2020, there are others that point to a possible recession or a pullback in economic expansion in 2021. While there is some level of uncertainty in the future, most economists see the economy slowing to below the recent trend growth. Most of the data suggest cautious optimism for moderate, but slowing economic growth going into 2021.

REVENUE SUMMARY : 67

REVENUE SUMMARY Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

GDP is one of the broadest measures of the economy. This measure affects interest rates, fiscal budgeting, and U.S. monetary policy. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the GDP of the U.S. increased at a rate of 2.1% in the third quarter of 2019. Analysts expect the economy to grow by 1.8% to 2.2% for 2020 and 1.7% to 1.9% for 2021. The ideal range for manageable GDP growth is in the 2% to 3% range.

Unemployment

The unemployment rate is a second measure of the broader economy and it is one that personally affects most Americans. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national unemployment rate for 2019 was 3.7%, down from 3.9% for 2018. Comparing the latest information, the unemployment rate for January 2020 was 3.6%, down from 4.0% in January 2019. Unemployment rates are well below the U.S. historical average of 5.7%. Some economists estimate that the unemployment rate will remain below 4% through 2022.

Inflation – Consumer Price Index (CPI)

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of inflation. In 2019, the percentage change (inflation rate) for the CPI was 1.8%, down from 2.4% in 2018. The inflation rate for 2020 is estimated at 1.9% to 2.3%. Low inflation rates mean that purchasing power and the cost for goods and services are remaining stable.

Housing and Auto Sales

The housing market is showing signs of moderate growth for 2020. Low unemployment and a strong job market still provide solid fundamentals for continued growth. The largest issue facing the housing market is a low housing supply and new construction not meeting the demand of buyers. Millennials are continuing to drive the housing market, while older generations are staying in their homes longer. New home sales are expected to rise, while existing home sales are expected to flatten due to supply issues. In 2019, US auto sales exceeded 17 million units for the fifth consecutive year. For 2020, forecasters estimate that U.S. auto sales will be between 16.7 and 17.1 million units.

State Economic Outlook According to economists, Virginia’s economic outlook is consistent with national trends with the economy still showing continued moderate growth for 2020.

Virginia Unemployment

According to the Virginia Employment Commission, the unemployment rate for the Commonwealth of Virginia for 2018 was 3%, down from 3.7% in 2017. Comparing the latest information, the unemployment rate for December 2019 was 2.5%, down from 2.6% in December 2018. Like the U.S. employment rates, Virginia’s unemployment rate for 2018 is below the historical average of the past 15 years of 4.7%. State economists expect personal income to grow at 4.5% for FY 2020; employment is expected to grow by 1% for FY 2020 and 0.6% for FY 2021.

State General Fund Revenues

State General Fund revenues for FY 2019 rose by 7.2%, creating a surplus of over $779 million for the year. State General Fund revenue projections for FY 2020 and FY 2021 are expected to increase by 1.84% and 4.33%. Sales tax collections are estimated to grow at 2.6% for FY 2021.

Other State Funds

More than half of the State’s revenues are non-general fund revenues, designated funds earmarked for specific purposes. These funds include federal grants, institutional revenue, transportation funds, and Master Tobacco Settlement Agreement funds. Non-general fund revenues are expected to grow by 6.3% in FY 2021.

REVENUE SUMMARY

Local Economic Outlook Like the U.S. and State economic outlooks, Montgomery County’s economic outlook is healthy with manageable and consistent yearly growth. The County’s unique qualities and job base provide a strong foundation for sustained growth. Local employment rates are consistent with state and federal trends. According to the VEC, the unemployment rate for Montgomery County for 2018 was 2.9%, down from 3.8% in 2017. Comparing the latest information, the unemployment rate for December 2019 was 2.5%, unchanged from 2.5% in December 2018. Like the U.S. employment rates, Montgomery County’s unemployment rate for 2018 was below the historical 15-year average of 4.7%.

County Resources Resources within the County budget are classified as either designated or undesignated. • Designated Resources represent revenue accounts which are mandated for specific uses including: • Support from the State Compensation Board for constitutional officers, court fees, fees for services and programs • Direct state aid for public assistance payments • State and federal funds for schools • Support for human services programs • Undesignated Resources fall into two categories: undesignated revenue and fund balance. Undesignated Revenue represents dollars which may be used in the budget at the Board’s discretion. These include property taxes, sales taxes, and similar local sources of revenue. Total budgeted revenue for FY 21 is $209.3 million with $89.2 million considered designated. Of this designated amount, $67.1 million or 75.3% is earmarked for schools. Undesignated Revenue dollars that may be used in the budget at the Board’s discretion total $120.1 million. Of this amount, $51.8 million goes to the public schools for operations, and $22.7 million of the undesignated dollars support debt service costs for county and public school facilities.

REVENUE SUMMARY County funding in the amount of $1,550,000 is reduced from the transfer to the School Operating Fund and held in the General Fund Special Contingencies account as a School Operating County Funding Reserve until a date later in the fiscal year as determined by the Board of Supervisors, reducing the total approved transfer amount to $51,827,273. State funding in the amount of $5,375,600 is reduced in the School Operating Fund budget and held in the General Fund Special Contingencies account as a School Operating State Funding Reserve until a date later in the fiscal year as determined by the Board of Supervisors, reducing the total approved State funding amount to $56,827,817.

Local Revenue Patterns and Growth for FY 21

Local revenue growth is heavily dependent on property taxes, especially the real estate tax, which is the County’s single largest local revenue source. Real estate revenues represent 61% of the County’s total undesignated revenue. Personal Property tax revenue (motor vehicles) is the County’s second largest local revenue source; it represents 14% of the County’s undesignated revenue. Sales and Use Tax is the third largest local revenue source; it represents 9% of the County’s undesignated revenue. Taken together, these three revenue sources account for 84% of the County’s undesignated revenue and represent the bulk of revenue growth the County experiences on a yearly basis. In FY 19, several revenue categories exceeded projections, while several fell short of the projected estimates. Overall FY 19 collections were consistent with FY 19 budget estimates. In FY 20, however, total revenue collections to date appear to be well above the normal trend. Real estate assessed values are estimated to be above the current estimate by $16.9 million, generating additional revenue of $100,000 over FY 20 estimates. Delinquent tax collections are significantly higher due to the Treasurer’s increased collection efforts. The County estimates $1.2 million in projected delinquent revenue above the estimate in FY 20. Contributing to the $1.2 million in added revenue are final tax notices sent by the Treasurer and the use of a third party vendor for real estate sales, the placement of liens on properties, and establishment of payment plans for delinquent tax payers. Personal property assessments are significantly above the normal trend due to a second strong year of motor vehicle value growth, additional heavy equipment due to Mountain Valley Pipeline construction, the expansion of two large companies adding significant machinery and tools equipment, and significant value being added for furniture and fixtures. Taken together, personal property assessments in FY 20 are projected to provide $1 million in additional revenue over the FY 20 estimates. Revenues from the 1% sales tax levied locally are also above trend due to revenue from online sales. Sales tax collections are estimated to provide $300,000 in additional revenue over FY 20 estimates. Recordation taxes, which are tied to real estate transfers, are at an all-time high and are expected to provide $700,000 in additional revenue over FY 20 estimates. Public Service Corporation assessments increased due to the County’s general reassessment last year and are expected to provide $141,000 in additional revenue over estimates in FY 20. All other categories of revenue are estimated to provide approximately $200,000 in additional revenue over estimates in FY 20. Taken together, $3.6 million in revenue over the estimates in FY 20 is projected. Some revenue increases are likely to be one-time in nature. Most of the delinquent tax growth and recordation tax growth in FY 20 are not expected to recur. Interest earnings are also expected to be lower in FY 21. The County expects to retain $1.8 million of the $3.6 million going into FY 21. For FY 21, the County projects an increase of approximately $3.8 million in new undesignated revenue. General Fund designated revenues are estimated to remain relatively flat, providing only $0.3 million for FY 21. Given current economic conditions, total General Fund revenue growth for FY 21 is expected to reach $4.1 million. By holding and deferring $5,375,600 in State and School Operating revenue in Special Contingencies, the approved General Fund revenue total is now $9.5 million. REVENUE SUMMARY : 70

REVENUE SUMMARY Real Estate Revenue

Real estate values are based on the actual accessed value as of January 1, 2019 and estimated increases for new construction. New real estate construction values are expected to be consistent with the last several years. Based on building permit data, from January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2020, assessed values are expected to increase by $116.9 million. Growth from January 1, 2020 to January 2021 is estimated at $95 million. For FY 21, real estate tax revenue is estimated at $73.7 million, which is $1 million more than the FY 20 estimate. Real estate values totaled $8.7 billion on the CY2019 land book, including land use. The CY 2020 land book is estimated to be $8.8 billion. The CY2021 land book is estimated at $8.9 billion.

Personal Property

Personal property tax collections are based on the 2019 tax book, which is the most recent documentation of assessment values. From this data, the 2020 values are estimated. In addition, prior year collection rates are used as predictors of future year collections. The rate of collection in FY 19 and FY 20 is used to estimate the rate of collection in FY 21. The tax rate for personal property categories is $2.55 per $100 of assessed value. This category includes motor vehicles (the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second largest source of revenue), business furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment. FY 21 estimated taxes on motor vehicles total $16.4 million; business furniture and fixtures total $3.6 million, and computer equipment total $0.5 million. On January 1, 2016, the County began the process of prorating personal property for motor vehicles. Under the former method of assessment, motor vehicle property assessments were based on the value of vehicles owned on January 1 of each year. The value of the vehicle(s) owned on that date was reported on the September 1 personal property book. Any changes after January 1 did not become effective for taxing purposes until the following January 1. By prorating motor vehicle values, changes that occur after January 1 become effective in the current tax year and appear on the September 1 book (or as a supplement bill or tax abatement after September 1 for the remainder of the calendar year). Revenue for personal property motor vehicles is expected to grow by $1.1 million for FY 21 for a total estimate of $16.4 million. REVENUE SUMMARY : 71

REVENUE SUMMARY Business furniture and fixtures personal property revenue is expected to grow by $0.3 million, while personal computer equipment revenue is expected to remain flat. In total, personal property revenue categories are expected to provide $1.4 million.

Other Categories of Undesignated Revenue

Historically, the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other undesignated revenues grow at a modest level annually. For FY 21, all other categories of undesignated revenue are expected to grow by $0.9 million. The County is expected to experience a slight increase in delinquent tax revenue of $0.3 million, an increase in machinery and tools revenue of $0.3 million, an increase in merchants capital of $0.2 million, an increase in Public Service Corporation taxes of $0.1 million. All other categories of undesignated revenue in total are estimated increase by $0.1 million; however, interest earnings are expected to be lower due to a lower interest rate. Machinery and Tools is a tax on businesses at $1.82 per $100 in value which is assessed at 60%/50%/40% depending on the number of years the asset has been owned. Over the last 15 years, revenue collections were relatively flat with only slight growth over the past six fiscal years. The County estimates $2.9 million in collections for FY 20. The FY 21 estimate has been set at $3.2 million, providing growth of $0.3 million.

Fiscal Year

State Budget: Local Impact

Over the past several fiscal years, the state has reduced the amount of funding provided to local governments. Public education, public safety, Constitutional Officers, local libraries, and other local services have all been affected. In many areas, the state has shifted the burden of revenue generation to local governments. For the Montgomery County Public School System, the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget includes an additional $2,660,149 in new funding for general school operational needs. No additional state funding is expected to support County government functions. State funding in the amount of $5,375,600 is reduced in the School Operating Fund budget and held in the General Fund Special Contingencies account as a School Operating State Funding Reserve until a date later in the fiscal year as determined by the Board of Supervisors, reducing the total approved State funding amount to $56,827,817.

County Tax Rates The approved budget does not change tax rates from FY 20 to FY 21, including the approved real estate rate of 89 cents. All tax rates are per $100 of assessed value.

Fund Balance

No General Fund balance dollars have been used to balance the FY 21 budget.

Reserve Funds

Reserve funds are dollars set aside that are not required for expenditure in the current year or are earmarked for a specific future purpose.

Why Do We Need Reserve Funds?

The financial health of a locality is determined based on its “operating position” which refers to three factors: • The County’s ability to balance the budget using current revenue (not using fund balance in the operating budget). • The County’s ability to maintain reserves for emergencies (establishing reserve funds for specific purposes). • The County’s ability to maintain sufficient cash to pay expenses on a timely basis (ensuring an adequate level of cash flow reserves).

REVENUE SUMMARY : 75

REVENUE SUMMARY Why Shouldn’t We Use Reserve Money to Balance the Budget?

These funds are “non-recurring”. The use of these funds can only be for items that do not require expenditures in future years (one-time-only expenses). These funds cannot be used for salary increases, additional personnel, or program expansion that recurs in future years. For example, if $1,000,000 of reserve monies were used in the budget to cover salaries, the next year there would be $1,000,000 worth of costs and $1,000,000 less money. The County’s financial advisors have recommended a policy of maintaining undesignated fund balance between 10% and 12% of operating revenue. The County maintains a number of specific reserve funds to respond positively to unforeseen circumstances, should they arise in the current year or the next year’s budget. The County’s primary reserve is the Cash Flow Reserve, which sets aside approximately $22 million or 10.5% of the total FY 21 Budget to ensure sufficient cash to pay the bills. Other reserve funds that the County maintains include, but are not limited to: • Capital Reserve to support unanticipated capital needs not funded in the Capital Projects Fund • Landfill Post Closure Reserve to support potential costs associated with monitoring and remediation of closed landfills • Facilities and Maintenance Reserve to support unanticipated facility and general maintenance items • Technology Reserve for technology projects and infrastructure requirements necessary for these projects • Rainy Day Reserve to address major unanticipated financial issues • Line of Duty Reserve to provide funds for family members of employees that are injured or killed in the line of duty • Parental Leave Reserve to provide funds to cover additional staffing costs, such as overtime, for departments whose employees are on extended leave • Road Maintenance Reserve to earmark the County share of the Revenue Sharing Program • Conservation Easement Reserve to support conservation easements and the County’s land use program

Financial Policies

The Board of Supervisors adopted financial policies and goals to influence and guide the financial management of the County. The policies were adopted in March 2000 and updated in October 2015. The importance of adopting and following these policies include: • Insulating the County from fiscal crisis, • Enhancing the ability to maintain financial credit by achieving and maintaining the highest bond ratings possible, • Promoting long-term financial stability by adhering to clear and consistent guidelines, • Directing attention to the financial condition of the entire County rather than a single issue or area, • Promoting coordination of long-term financial planning with daily operations, and • Providing the Board of Supervisors and citizens a framework for measuring the fiscal impact of services provided against established guidelines.

for fiscal year 2021

Financial Policies

REVENUE SUMMARY

Appendix B: Financial Policies Capital improvement budget policies

1. The County will consider all capital improvements in accordance with an adopted capital improvement program. 2. The County will develop a five-year plan for capital improvements and update each annually. 3. The County will enact an annual capital budget based on the five-year capital improvement plan. Future capital expenditures necessitated by changes in population, changes in real estate development, or changes in economic base will be calculated and included in capital budget projections. 4. The County will coordinate development of the capital improvement budget with development of the operating budget. Future operating costs associated with new capital improvements will be projected and included in operating budget forecasts. 5. The County will use intergovernmental assistance to finance only those capital improvements that are consistent with the capital improvement plan and County priorities, and whose operating and maintenance costs have been included in operating budget forecasts. 6. The County will maintain all its assets at a level adequate to protect the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital investment and to minimize future maintenance and replacement costs. 7. The County will project its equipment replacement and maintenance needs for the next several years and will update this projection each year. From this projection a maintenance and replacement schedule will be developed and followed. 8. The County will identify the estimated costs and potential funding sources for each capital project proposal before it is submitted for approval. 9. The County will attempt to determine the least costly financing method for all new projects.

Debt policies

1. The County will confine long-term borrowing to capital improvement or projects that cannot be financed from current revenues except where approved justification is provided. 2. When the County finances capital improvements or other projects by issuing bonds or entering into capital leases, it will repay the debt within a period not to exceed the expected useful life of the project. 3. Net debt as a percentage of estimated market value of taxable property should strive to be below 3.0% but not exceed 4.0%. 4. The ratio of debt service expenditures as a percent of governmental fund expenditures (General Fund plus School Operating Fund expenditures less the General Fund transfer to the School Operating Fund) should strive to be below 10% but not exceed 12%. 5. The County will review the 10 year tax supported debt and lease payout ratio on an annual basis, and intends to maintain the ratio at 60% over a five year period, with the ratio being no less than 55% in any one year during the period. 6. The County recognizes the importance of underlying and overlapping debt in analyzing financial condition. The County will regularly analyze total indebtedness including underlying and overlapping debt. 7. Where feasible, the County will explore the usage of special assessment, revenue, or other self-supporting REVENUE SUMMARY : 93

REVENUE SUMMARY bonds instead of general obligation bonds. 8. The County will retire tax anticipation debt, if any, annually and will retire bond anticipation debt within six months after completion of the project. 9. On all General Fund support, debt-financed projects, the County will attempt to make a down payment of at least 5% of total project costs in the aggregate from current resources. The long term goal is to annually designate a portion of General Fund cash for one time capital projects.

Reserve policies

The County will establish an emergency reserve to pay for needs caused by unforeseen emergencies, including unanticipated expenditures of a nonrecurring nature, or to meet unexpected small increases in service delivery costs. This General Contingency will be budgeted at not less than 1.0% of the General Fund. Unassigned fund balance at the close of each fiscal year should be at least 12% of the General Fund plus School Operating Fund revenues, excluding the General Fund transfer to the School Operating Fund. Should the County find it necessary to access these funds in an emergency situation the Unassigned Fund Balance would be allowed to fall below the target described above. Any appropriation which causes Unassigned Fund Balance to drop below 12% will occur only after the County Administrator presents to the Board of Supervisors a plan and timeline for replenishing the balance to a minimum of 12%.

Investment policies OVERVIEW

The County Board of Supervisors recognizes that it is the explicit constitutional responsibility of the County Treasurer to invest County Funds in accordance with Virginia Law. It is the desire of the County Board of Supervisors to provide the Treasurer with the most timely information in order to best execute the powers of the Treasurerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. To that end, the following Investment Policies are intended as a guide for the County Board of Supervisors to facilitate this relationship.

POLICIES The County will attempt to provide a cash-flow analysis of all funds on a continuous basis. Disbursement, collection, and deposit of funds will be scheduled to insure maximum cash availability. The County will develop an annual cash-flow budget for County Operations to be reviewed quarterly with the Treasurer.

• Base Compensation Board Revenue Adjustments – A total of $1,675 is added to the base Compensation Board revenue budget. These funds account for the adjustment of revenues as reported by the State Compensation Board reconciled to the FY 20 County approved budget. Each year, Compensation Board funding is reconciled to the County approved budget when final numbers are received from the state.

• $105,769 is Transferred from Salaries and Benefits to Operations and Maintenance to Cover the Cost of the Jail’s Food Services Contract – Due to the difficulty in hiring and retaining jail cooks, the Sheriff outsourced food preparation services at the local jail to a third party vendor in FY 20. The total cost of the food preparation contract is $286,000. The Sheriff transferred $105,769 in base salaries and benefits, which included 2 full-time positions (2 FTEs) and 1 part-time non-classified position to the operations and maintenance budget for FY 21. An additional $125,652 from the previous food budget was transferred within the operations and maintenance category, requiring an additional $54,579 for FY 21.

ANIMAL CARE AND ADOPTION CENTER

About

The Animal Care and Adoption Center, opening in 2017, is a new beginning for Montgomery County residents by combining animal care and recreation services. Located on five acres along Cinnabar Road near the County’s Frog Pond recreational area, the 16,300 square foot Center’s primary goal is to increase animal adoptions by expanding visitation and maximizing visibility through attractive design, in a recreational setting. The Center represents a transition from a traditional pound facility to a community hub for companion animal resources and leisure time events. Donations and County dollars support the Center and its staff.

Animal Care and Adoption Center

The Center will offer educational tours and classes, vaccination and spay/neuter clinics, pet training classes, animal demonstrations, outdoor events and other leisure time activities. Long range plans include integrating the Center with a dog park and walking trails connecting the Frog Pond, picnic shelters, and disc golf course, making the entire area a recreation destination.

Animal Care and Adoption Center-Donations

Donations support 34% of the facility and staffing costs to operate the Center.

Highlights • The Animal Care and Adoption Center has an adoption-friendly philosophy and a mission focused on education, adoption, and community. • In 2019, more than 1,770 pets were adopted, reclaimed, or rescued, and the center achieved a 94.3% live release rate. • The center had over 16,500 visitors and registered over 1,000 new volunteers in 2019. • In 2019, staff collaborated with many local businesses and teaching institutions to provide valuable care and enrichment for center animals, as well as sponsored several adoption and community events.

CHILDREN’S SERVICES ACT

About

The Children’s Services Act for At-Risk Youth and Families (CSA) was established by the General Assembly to improve coordination, eliminate duplication of services and ensure that costly residential care is provided only in cases where it was clearly warranted. The law requires localities to establish Community Policy and Management teams, and Family Assessment and Planning teams to administer the program. The law also mandates that certain groups of children receive services, primarily special education and foster care. The County is required to provide a local match for all expenditures.

Children’s Services Act

The Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT) is responsible for developing policies, managing funds allocated to the County, and authorizing expenditures of these funds. CPMT is comprised of at least one elected or appointed official and agency heads from the local Department of Social Services, school system, Community Services Board (mental health) and the Court Services Unit (juvenile justice), a parent and a private provider. Each CPMT must also establish and appoint at least one Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT) to work with families to develop an individualized family service plan or plan of care based on the strengths and needs of the family.

Highlights • In 2019, CSA served 46 at-risk children and their families through foster homes, residential facilities, IEP Private Day School placements, and community-based services to include evaluations, in-home services, and life skills training.

About

The Department of Social Services (DSS) division assists families and individuals in becoming socially and economically self-sufficient and independent. Benefit programs include temporary assistance for needy families, food assistance, Medicaid, energy assistance, general relief, fraud prevention and children’s medical security insurance. DSS works closely with other community agencies to promote the stability and self-sufficiency of community families through referrals to services not available in this agency. It also promotes the creation of services not currently available in the community. The agency works to avoid duplication of services provided by other agencies and to respond to needs not currently addressed in the community.

Social Services

Social Services assists in work programs including adoption, adult services/adult protective services, child protective services, day care services for children, foster care, court services and employment services. The department focuses, in the least intrusive manner, on services that individuals and families cannot provide for themselves.

Highlights • The Foster Care and Adoption Unit successfully facilitated nine adoptions in 2019. • Purchased scanners for all Benefits Program Specialists to enable to them to process applications more efficiently. • Two additional Child Protective Service Workers were hired to meet the increased caseloads. • Received additional funds to increase the Companion Program, which provides in-home support for elderly and disabled adults and increases the likelihood of the individual maintaining their independent living situation. • The Self-Sufficiency Unit facilitated multiple job fairs throughout the year and connected potential employers with those in need of work.

Addenda & Reductions Discussion

Addenda consist of dollars over and above the base budget target for operating and capital outlay expenses. Approved addenda items are often funding provided for new initiatives or expanded services but may also include normal cost increases. Addenda reductions may reflect reduced revenue and/or expense needed to equalize revenue shortfalls. • $20,000 is Added to Expand Companion Services – Additional funding is added to expand companion services to the 28 clients on the waiting list; currently, 13 clients are served. These funds will enable elderly and disabled citizens to remain at home and maintain their independence. Additional funds for companion services will assist in reducing calls to rescue services, reducing the number of elder neglect cases, and reducing the number of elderly financial exploitation cases. This addition is 100% county funded. SOCIAL SERVICES : 214

This budget shows how much it would cost in the next fiscal year to operate the same programs in the current fiscal year. • Base Salary and Fringe Benefit Adjustments – For FY 21, the County budget includes an increase in the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) rate from 10.38% to 12.44%, an increase in the group life insurance rate from 1.31% to 1.34%, and a decrease in the long-term disability insurance rate from 0.59% to 0.528%. All other fringe benefits rates remain unchanged.

• $10,000 is Added to the Planning and GIS Division’s Base Revenue Budget – The County is experiencing an increase in site plan reviews and zoning permit requests, which is increasing revenue collections within the division. Based on year-to-date collections for FY 20 and anticipated collections for FY 21, $10,000 is added to the Planning and GIS Division’s base revenue budget.

Addenda & Reductions Discussion

PLANNING AND GIS SERVICES • $45,000 is Added to Upgrade the County’s Pictometry Program – Additional funding is requested to upgrade the current Pictometry/Eagle View that was purchased in 2008. The new Pictometry Imagery Upgrade will use 3” imagery and enable the County to have new imagery every other year. This would place the County’s GIS on the same schedule and same resolution (3” imagery) as Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Virginia Tech. By coordinating the upgrade timing with the two towns and Virginia Tech, a better rate can be obtained. The imagery is currently being used by the Commissioner of Revenue, Planning/Zoning, the Sheriff’s Office, General Services, and others.

About

This Division consists of all outside agencies that are funded by County General Fund dollars. Agencies that receive funding are divided among five categories: Human Service Agencies, Public Safety Agencies, Education/Cultural Agencies, Environmental Agencies, and Economic Development Agencies.

Human Service Agencies

• $255,942 is included for the New River Valley Detention Home, which is a decrease of $75,000 – The NRVDH’s request for FY 21 is $145,380, which is a decrease of $185,562 from the FY 20 budget. The County budgeted a total of $330,942 in the FY 20 budget. In the FY 10 request, the formula for determining operating contributions was changed to allocate costs among participant jurisdictions on the basis of days used, averaged over a 3 year period. Under the revised formula, Montgomery County’s billed usage for the facility for FY 20 is $145,380 or 29.28% of the total funding. The facility is over 30 years old and requires upgrades, maintenance, and newer equipment for licensure compliance. Due to the need to address these capital issues, the County is providing $145,380 for operations based on a threeyear average usage and is setting aside $110,562 in a special reserve to address future facility upgrades. $75,000 in total funding has been reduced as the Juvenile Detention home will have accumulated $837,275 in capital reserve funding by the end of FY 21.

GENERAL GOVERNMENT DEBT SERVICES

About

General Government Debt Service division includes principal, interest and administrative fees on long-term outstanding debt. Debt service accounts are required for the issuance of the bonds to fund new county buildings and schools, building improvements and renovations and other capital improvements.

County Debt Service

This includes principal, interest and administrative fees for all County long-term outstanding debt.

School Debt Service

School Debt Service includes principal, interest and administrative fees for all school long-term outstanding debt.

Base Budget Discussion

The base budget for debt service is the cost for principal, interest and debt administration costs, as well as, savings retained from decreases in prior year debt service for two functions: School Debt Service and County Debt Service. Debt service has been funded from various sources: monies from the School Operating fund, courthouse maintenance fees, revenue from the New River Valley Emergency Communications Regional Authority lease, and the General Fund. As in prior years, the debt service budget retains monies in the base budget that may not be needed for payments in the current year. This practice accomplishes two primary objectives: • Ensures future capacity to offset debt service cost increases – The debt issuance in FY 20 for school projects increases School Debt Service costs for fiscal years 20-22 as shown in the chart below:

Increase in School Debt Service 3.00

M i l l i o ns

2.50 2.00 1.50 1.00 0.50 0.00 2020

2021

2022

• Allows unused monies at year end (which are non-recurring dollars) to be used for future capital projects – For example in FY 20, $223,049 in savings from County Debt Service was used to cover a portion of the cost of the Creed Fields project. Also in FY 20, $355,000 in savings from School Debt Service was used to cover a portion of the Christiansburg Strand Elementary schools. Additional savings in non-recurring dollars in both County and School Debt Service will assist in offsetting future project costs. GENERAL GOVERNMENT DEBT SERVICES : 273

GENERAL GOVERNMENT DEBT SERVICES • Reallocation of Base Debt Service Resources – The base budget includes funds needed to cover

costs for the both County and Schools debt. Generally, debt issuances are structured to balance total debt service costs from year to year; however, the individual components of debt service often change. The reallocation of existing debt in the base budget consists of the following: Decrease in Principal

County Capital

Dollars earmarked in this division will be used in future years for County capital needs.

Base Budget Discussion The base budget is the estimated minimum cost for providing continued services/operations for each division/ department. It is based on the prior year approved budget with adjustments. This budget shows how much it would cost in the next fiscal year to operate the same programs in the current fiscal year. Due to the COVID-19 virus and the uncertainty of the national, state, and local economies in the near term, all amounts in this fund were deferred by the Board of Supervisors in the County’s FY 21 Approved Budget with the following conditions: • The following County items will be deferred pending future action by the Board of Supervisors: • $1,287,704 is Included for Fire and Rescue Capital – The base budget includes $1,287,704 or 1.5 pennies of the real estate tax rate for Fire and Rescue capital needs. • $750,000 is Included for County Capital Maintenance Projects – $750,000 is included in the County Capital budget to provide an ongoing source of capital maintenance funding to cover the County’s existing buildings and infrastructure. The County’s Capital Maintenance program, funded in the Capital Fund Budget, is a proactive program of preventative maintenance designed to address major repairs and/ or replace large scale components that cannot be addressed within the County’s centralized maintenance program contained within the County’s operating budget. The purpose of this program is to invest in existing capital assets to maintain the County’s building and structures and to extend their useful life. Ongoing projects include roofing replacements, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) upgrades, carpeting, paving, and other major systems’ maintenance. • $425,000 is Included for the Parks and Recreation Projects – $425,000 is included for Parks and Recreation capital projects and includes $35,000 that was previously set aside in FY 16.

infrastructure is $250,000.
