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.

• Base Salary and Fringe Benefit Adjustments – The FY 21 approved budget included a 3% compensation increase in Special Contingencies. These funds were distributed to County divisions off cycle during the budget year. In addition to the 3% compensation increase added to the base budget, the budget also includes an increase in the unemployment insurance rate from 0.23% to 0.53%. All other fringe benefits rates remain unchanged. Funding is also included to cover a 3% compensation increase, effective

July 1, 2021. • Base Compensation Board Revenue Adjustments – A total of ($1,380) is reduced from 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 21 County approved budget. Each year, Compensation

Board funding is reconciled to the County approved budget when final numbers are received from the state. The adjustment in revenue for FY 21 is due to the County meeting the 100,000 population threshold based on population estimates provided by the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service and then adjusted for staff turnover.

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.

• $210,523 is Added to the Sheriff’s Compensation Board Revenue – These funds account for a 5% across the board salary increase included in the state’s budget for locally supported positions July 1, 2021.

Since the County provided more than a 5% compensation increase to all County funded positions over the biennium, these funds provide additional revenue to the County. Each year, Compensation Board revenue is reconciled to the County approved budget when final numbers are received from the state.
